It's Wednesday, game install day at 3 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: practice as the Bills get ready for the Baltimore Ravens 4 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: and what could be a veritable monsoon on Sunday at 5 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: M ANDT Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Glad you could join us, 6 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,959 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here with you. One Bills Live 7 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: is the show, and we want to remind you that 8 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: this week's game sponsor is on location, on location unparalleled 9 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: access to exclusive Bills fan experiences. We got the injury 10 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: report from coach for practice today, Steve not practicing today. 11 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, who coach labeled week to week, so don't 12 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: know that he's not going to make it to the 13 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: game this week, so he's pretty much out. They're hopeful 14 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: for next week, but even that is not a lock 15 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: as Jordan Phillips dealing with that hamstring injury, so he 16 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: will miss a second straight game. Ryan Bates not practicing, 17 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: he is in the concussion protocol. Jay Kumerou not practicing 18 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: he has the high ankle sprain from last week's game. 19 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: And Dion Dawkins is not practicing because of a non 20 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: COVID illness. So hopefully he's much better for tomorrow and 21 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: the day after that and can get on the practice field. 22 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: Von Miller and Roger Staffold were to get rest days today, 23 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: but we were out of practice. I saw von Miller 24 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: had a helmet, he was ready to go for practice, 25 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: so maybe he said, yeah, I'm good, I'm practicing. I 26 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: don't know. And then and then limited today. Dane Jackson, 27 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, ed Oliver Mitch Morrise, new offensive lineman Jonathan Murray, 28 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: and Dawson Knox. Those were all players who either missed 29 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 1: last week's game or had to come out of Sunday's game. 30 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: That being Dawson knocked, Dane Jackson, Jordan poy At, Oliver 31 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: Mitch Moore's miss last week's game. So the team is 32 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: on the end, they're in a little bit better shape 33 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: and the practice update is presented by Lee Coom Lake 34 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Getting healthier, but still a 35 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: long way to go. Yeah, and still I still think 36 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: some of those guys are they're still achy from Sunday's game. 37 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: Saffield played ninety plays, right, those guys need to break 38 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: and they'll get it. I mean, they'll be they'll start 39 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: to peak. They'll they'll get them completely healthy and get 40 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: them all hydrate and get them back to normal and 41 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: then start to ramp them up for the game on Sunday. 42 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: The thing that bothers me is, you know it's not 43 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: gonna be you know, they're not gonna play the Miami 44 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: Dolphins where they're playing the Ravens. The Ravens are They're 45 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: a handful. They're a handful. They are a really good 46 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: football team. And despite the fact that the Miami Dolphins 47 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: have beaten both these teams, and as kudos are the Dolphins, 48 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: they got you know, they found their quarterback for the 49 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: next ten to twelve years. Good for them. I'm glad 50 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: two is gonna be the Dolphins. Don't have to worry 51 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: about it. That's fine, they're winners. Good for them. Uh, 52 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: let me just say this, good for him, man, They awesome. 53 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: The Dolphins are set at QB for that's fine. Um, 54 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: this this game is between two teams that I think 55 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: are going to be standing at the end of it all. 56 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: Baltimore is a really good football team and and as 57 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: long if Lamar stays healthy. Obviously, just the same thing 58 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: with the Bills. If if Josh stays healthy, if those 59 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: two guys stay healthy, these teams are going to be 60 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: in the playoffs deep. And that's why this is a 61 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: tough game going into Baltimore in a monsoon, which is 62 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: which is you know, kryptonite for a team like the 63 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: Bills who throws it all over the yard. So this 64 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: game scares me, it really does. It's a tough matchup 65 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: against a really good team who's really good in their 66 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: own building. And they're yes, they're good in their own building. 67 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: And the Bills once again are going to get caught 68 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: by conditions that are out of their control. So it's 69 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: this is rough two weeks in a row. The Bills 70 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: might be impacted by weather more than the opponent. Well not, 71 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: I don't know about the opponent in this case. This 72 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: team's better than Miami. Well yeah, but that's whether it 73 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: will be. The margins are so close in the NFL. 74 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you think about Baltimore. They're beating Miami by 75 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 1: twenty one points in the fourth quarter, two plays busted 76 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: coverages and they lose. It's that. That's how it is 77 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: the way it is. We should mention Dane Jackson out 78 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: there practicing on a limited basis today and was wearing 79 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: red non contact jersey, so certainly a good sign, an 80 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: encouraging sign going forward. What his status will be for Sunday, 81 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: we probably won't know until we get to Friday's practice, 82 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: and an insurance measure in that regard was made today 83 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: as well as Xavier Rhodes was signed to the team's 84 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: practice squad. Buffalo had two open spots on the practice squad. 85 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: They signed Xavier Rhodes, the veteran cornerback, and they signed 86 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Prince Emilie, who got called up from the practice squad 87 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: and elevated to the active roster last week and then 88 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: was released after the game and has since reverted back 89 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: to the practice squad. They resigned him to the practice 90 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: squad today along with Rhads, so there is some insurance there. 91 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: In the event that Dane Jackson doesn't make it all 92 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: the way back to play this week, Rhodes would in 93 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: Rhodes might be up either way. When you think about it, yeah, 94 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: it could be. I mean, because really, your only corners 95 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: on the roster right now that are healthy tarn Johnson, 96 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: Kayer Elam and then Cam Lewis and Saran Neil JaMarcus 97 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: Ingram is still on the practice there. But but I think, 98 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, if Rhodes kind of acclimates himself well to 99 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: the scheme and they feel good about calling him up, 100 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: they will do. They have Kyler McMichael listed on the 101 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: he's a dB and he's a he's a six foot 102 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: two h two guy, rookie out of North Carolina. He's, 103 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, rookie, undrafted free agent. But so they got 104 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: bodies of guys who are acclimated. But certainly um Rhodes 105 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: is brought in for a reason. And Sean when asking 106 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, what does what does Rhodes bring to the equation, 107 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: he started talking about, you know, learning about how you 108 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: get him. He used the word experience about five times. 109 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: The guy's been around the block and nothing's going to 110 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: be too big for him. He's not going to get 111 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: caught not aware. And that's that's why you sign the guy. 112 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: You need a guy that's can think about football rather 113 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: than where he's at when he gets on the field. 114 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: The other update to pass along, Christian Benford had surgery 115 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: on his broken hand from the game on Sunday, and 116 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: coach McDermott said it was a successful procedure. He said 117 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: he's going to miss at least a couple of games, 118 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: so this week, next week, where it goes from there, 119 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: we'll probably know in a couple of weeks time as 120 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: far as the healing process is concerned. So that's the 121 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: situation there with the Bill's injury report and who's healthy 122 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: and who's not. Speaking of health, a position that is 123 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: not healthy for the Baltimore Ravens is defensive tackle, where 124 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: Michael Pierce, it has been reported by a couple of 125 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: the national reporters, suffered a torn by SIPs tendon in 126 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: last week's game against New England. So his status is 127 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: not out there yet, but I would venture to guess 128 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: it's very much in doubt for Sunday's game. He's a 129 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: big run stuffer for them in the middle. Yeah, both 130 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: these clubs are starting to feel the weight of the 131 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: reps that they've played here in the first month of 132 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: the season, and we kind of got immune to it 133 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo for the last couple of years. But 134 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: this is kind of normal procedure and now certainly Buffalo 135 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: was a little bit went deeper into the roster than 136 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: most teams had to do this early, but at some 137 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: point of the year, you figured this is all would 138 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: all happen. You'd like to see it spread out over 139 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: about three months. But injuries are commonplace, and that's why 140 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: the depth of your roster is so huge. The Bills haven't. 141 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: We haven't been down this road for a couple of years. 142 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: That's right. One of the healthiest teams in the league 143 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. But yeah, the 144 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: law of averages seems to have caught up with the 145 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: Bills to some degree. Quick look around the NFL presented 146 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Bills. 147 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: The Jets might be onto their fifth offensive tackle. They 148 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: had to put left tackle George Phanton ir with a 149 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: knee injury. He's the third offensive lineman placed on ir 150 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: by the Jets this season, following McKay, Beckton and somebody 151 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: else whose names escaping me. Meanwhile, just in time for 152 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, who was medically cleared to return 153 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: to full practice and game playing, he will start Sunday, 154 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: or at least the anticipation as he'll start Sunday against 155 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers, who do not have t J. Watt. So 156 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson is probably very happy about that, knowing he's 157 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: gonna have another backup line up at left tackle for 158 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: him on his blind side. Brown's defensive end Miles Garrett 159 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: has an injured injured shoulder and biceps muscle as a 160 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: result of his one car crash. Did you see footage 161 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: of his carly Cow, It looked like it looked like 162 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: DiCaprio's car in The Wolf of Wall Street. Remember when 163 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: he thought, it's a amazing I got home completely high 164 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: on drugs, and he thought he was like the cat's 165 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: me al getting home without incident. He gets up the 166 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: next morning and he looks at his car and it's 167 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: completely it's ravaged. That's what Garrett's car looked like. I 168 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: don't know how he got out of there and walked 169 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: away from the accident. It was bad, Like it looked 170 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: like somebody stepped on a soda can. Like. That's how 171 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: bad his car looked. Very very very fortunate that he 172 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: escaped relatively unscathed. What his status is for Sunday's game 173 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: for the Browns, we don't know yet. AFC Offensive Player 174 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: of the Week Steve Trevor Lawrence good for him thirty 175 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: eight to ten victory last week over the Chargers, and 176 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: that offense is on its way, big play capabilities, and 177 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: it's amazing what a young quarterback can do when he's 178 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: got the right coach coaching. Well, we found that out 179 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. Trevor Lawrence was way more highly touted 180 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: than Josh Allen coming out, and he struggled, I would 181 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: say as much or more of than Josh Allen did 182 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: his first year. And Josh was a struggle. You saw 183 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: flashes of it at times, but I think you saw 184 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: flashes of it with Josh's rookie here more than he 185 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: did with Trevor Lawrence last year under Urban Meyer. Now, 186 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: when you get Doug Peterson, and I was a and 187 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: I just say this, Jaguars haven't gotten much right over 188 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: the last four or five years. They got this right. 189 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson can coach quarterbacks. Yeah, and Trevor Lawrence is 190 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: finding out and you're seeing the results of it. That 191 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: they strummed a team that some people thought had a 192 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: chance to get to the super Bowl and certainly a 193 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: playoff team in the Chargers. This last week, they strummed him. Yeah. 194 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: And it wasn't even a game. It was twenty four 195 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: nothing or twenty four seven a half. Jacksonville had the 196 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: first pick of the NFL Draft this last April. They 197 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: were the worst team in football last year by a 198 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: long stretch, and they thumped one of the one of 199 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: the most envied rosters in the NFL this last Sunday 200 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: and did it in resounding fashion. So Trey Von Walker 201 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen off the edges. They're I think DeMarcus 202 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: Lawrence and Micah Parsons might be the only tandem that 203 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: I would take over those two. Yeah, they're really good. 204 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: They are really good, and they're a handful TUA for 205 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: those that care. Limited in practice on Tuesday. Dolphins are 206 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: playing on Thursday on a short week against the Bengals 207 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. And the Dolphins actually left Miami today to 208 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: get out in time before the Hurricane hid An impacted 209 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: air travel. So think about this, Steve. They do film 210 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: correction and review on Monday after Sunday's game against the Bills. 211 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: They practice to yesterday and then fly out today to 212 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: get out. Yeah, they probably had a little bit of 213 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: a walk through or kind of a thing today at 214 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: the at the facility and they'll fly out this afternoon. 215 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: Probably they may not even be in the air yet. 216 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: They'll flat later, but you know, they got to get 217 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: work done. But by the same token, you're trying to 218 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: juggle hydration and travel and logistics and meetings and film 219 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: study and working out and treatment, all of that stuff 220 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: in a condensed we we've all been there, we've all 221 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: seen it, you know, in this thing. But I'm telling 222 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: you what that as rough as it was giving rights, 223 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: as rough as it was that that Sunday game for 224 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: the Bills, they heat now it was wasn't as bad 225 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: because of the shade they were in. But they had 226 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: to play in that too. The Dolphins did, and it 227 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: was a rough and tumble game. So they're up against 228 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: it as well. I'm telling you that. I if the 229 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: Dolphins beat the Cincinnati Bengals on the road this week, 230 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: after what they went through this last Sunday with the 231 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: Bills and all of that's what's going forward, that would 232 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: raise their level of respect in my mind, more the 233 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: sou than beating the team the way the game happened 234 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: on Sunday. If they beat the Bengals this week, that's impressive. 235 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: That's really impressive to me. We'll see, but because that 236 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: that to me is a tough week, a tough week, 237 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: a week nobody's got any love lost for the Dolphins 238 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. But I'm telling you what you think 239 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: about it, that's a tough ask for the NFL to 240 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: make them do it, particularly given the game they were 241 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: in against Buffalo. I think that's the thing. So while 242 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: Miami leaves their facility early, it opens up the opportunity 243 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Bucks to fly south to Miami 244 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: to get out of the way of the hurricane, which 245 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: is making landfall as we speak. They relocated to South Florida. 246 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: They're practicing in the Dolphins facility this week to get 247 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: ready for their game against the Chiefs, which is a 248 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: game that is likely to be moved to Minneapolis due 249 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: to Hurricane Ian. That will be the location if and 250 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: when the league makes the call to officially move the 251 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: game to a neutral site. With Tampa clearly in the 252 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: path of Hurricane Ian, which is strengthening and maybe a 253 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: Cat five by now, which is the highest and most 254 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: and strongest to hurricane can be, they're evacuate. They're evacuating. 255 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: It looks like they're evacuating the entire state of Florida. 256 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: They're telling people to get out, and they have deadlines 257 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: that one day. It's like eight pm on Tuesday, APM 258 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: on Wednesday today, eight pm tomorrow and eight pm the 259 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: next day, goes all the way up through the state. 260 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: People got to get out of there. And I it's 261 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: bad because people are gonna die in this hurricane. People 262 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: that don't evacuate, people are gonna get hurt. And I 263 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: know it's your home. I know it's your property, and 264 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: people are gonna die over there. It's bad. It's bad. 265 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: You got and you know, you hope people look out 266 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: for each other down there, because man o, man, it's 267 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: coming and then it ain't no stopping it. You can't 268 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: shovel it, and then you can't snowstorms right, And it's likely, 269 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: at least at this point in time, based on some 270 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: of the spaghetti models you know where they have the 271 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: multiple tracks, that it will bring rain and pretty significant 272 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: wins to Sunday's game between the Bills and Ravens in Baltimore. 273 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: There is currently a seventy percent chance of rain for 274 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: the game wins of twenty five to thirty miles per hour, 275 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: so for the second straight week, weather it could play 276 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: a major factor in how the game is played much 277 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: like it was last week in Miami due to the 278 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: oppressive heat, so be very interesting to see the weather. 279 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: We in fact get in Baltimore on Sunday because it's 280 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: not looking good right now. Let's go to the phones though. 281 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: At eighth three fifty eight fifty two, five fifty we 282 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: lead off with Tom on a sell what you got 283 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: for a tammy? Are on one Bills Live? Hey, how 284 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: are you guys doing today? Doing good? I've been wanting 285 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: to say this for a long time, and I'm not 286 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: being contentious. I have thought this out, and I'm like, 287 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: I watched the Bills in every offseason. Do we agree 288 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: this management is really trying to win the Super Bowl? 289 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: They are doing all the right things to try to win, 290 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: not just to be competitive or to put rear ends 291 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: in the seats. They're trying to win, which makes me 292 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: sit there and wonder what their aversion is to having 293 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: a running back who commands a little bit more respect 294 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: than the ones we've had. Why do they seem to 295 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: not Every offseason comes and goes and I'm like, man, 296 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: why do they go get smurfs who supposedly are the 297 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: best pass catchers ever? Why can we not have a 298 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: running back. We do not like to be a running team. 299 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: They just command more respect, you know, keep defenses a 300 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: little bit more honest. Why will they not do that? Well, 301 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: I get it, Tom, you answered your own question. Why 302 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: would they want to spend like a number one pick 303 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: on a running back in a league that's not a 304 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: running league. I mean, I can get what you're saying. 305 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: One say that Brady has no other passing quarterbacks have, 306 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: say you don't, we don't need to spend a number 307 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: one pick. Just don't get somebody a little bit heavier 308 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: than two hundred towns they command. It's just a little 309 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: bit more respect at the line. And nobody's afraid of 310 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: us running nobody. No, they're not, Tom, You're right, they're not. 311 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: But I'll say this, they're afraid of this offense, yeah, 312 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: whether they run it or not. And I get it. 313 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it would be great. But you're 314 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: right now, you're you're worried about Um. I don't know. 315 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of an analogy. Um, you wish 316 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: the freight train that was rolling people over was a 317 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: different color. I don't know. I mean, this is this 318 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: team is really good. Their offense is not a problem. 319 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: And to be very honest with you, the first two 320 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: and let's just let me go back and remind you 321 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: of the uh the schedule for the Bills. They they 322 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: went to the defending World Championship, hung forty thirty one 323 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: points on them. They went to the number one seed 324 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: in the in the AFC, they played them at home, 325 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: and they hung forty one on them. I'm not doing 326 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: anything different. I don't care if you've got Derek Henry 327 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: in your backfield. I'm not handed it to him anymore 328 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: than I did when I scored thirty one and forty 329 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: one points in respective years. Now they go into Miami, 330 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: and I'll say this. You can say what you want 331 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: about the running backs they have. It ain't about them 332 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: last week. It's a about offensive lineman six seven and 333 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: eight that we're starting in that game, plus the seventh 334 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: one had an ACL tear and and the sixth one, 335 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: the fifth one, the starting center was the sixth one 336 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: the week before. He wasn't even on the field before. 337 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: So you've got six, seven, eight and nine offensive lineman 338 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: playing in Miami. So I mean, I don't know, there's 339 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: nothing to complain about with his offense. Injuries okay, whether 340 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: okay that that's fine. There's nothing in this offense that 341 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: says they need to change anything. If Walter Payton was 342 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: in their backfield, he ain't handed at him any more 343 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: than you're doing tonet. Now. He may run better when 344 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: he does, but you're throwing it. If you have Jim 345 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: Brown in your backfield, you're not gonna change your game plan. 346 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: You're not gonna run a little bit more with Jim Brown, 347 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: maybe because he may get more than two yards, maybe 348 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: because he's big. I guess there's what his point is. Listen, 349 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: you're not You're hanging thirty one points on one team 350 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: forty one the next week, and then with offensive lineman seven, 351 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: eight and nine on the field, one of them with 352 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: an ACL tear. You're gonna complain about your running game. 353 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: Come on, come on, I get it. You wish you 354 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: could run. Everybody wishes they could run the ball because 355 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: it makes us feel good, because it takes the stress 356 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: out of us. We never we never face a third 357 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: and nine on with a with a big time running back. 358 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: I get that analogy, But let me just tell you something. 359 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: They were nine of ten on third down in week one, 360 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: nine of ten. They were eleven and eighteen. I don't 361 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: care if they ever handed off. They're they're as good 362 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: at offense as there is in the NFL. Maybe, and 363 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 1: they're they're in the conversation for the best one. So 364 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: and jump up and down about the how the offseason went. 365 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: Come on, come on, I will this team is the 366 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: preseason favorite to go to the super Bowl and due 367 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 1: to a confluence of adverse condition this last week, not 368 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: most notably, Yeah, good Dolphins defense. Also, that's fine. I'm 369 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: not even gonna start into a troll conversation with Miami fans. 370 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: They've got one loss by two points in a game 371 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: where they can look at themselves and say, hey, we're 372 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: the ones that man, don't don't mess with this roster 373 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: when it's fully healthy. I'm not changing anything. I'm not 374 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: trading any of these guys, not the running backs, not 375 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: the tight ends, not the offensive line, and nobody. So 376 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: I get it. There's always one thing, you know, there's 377 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: always one thing that we don't have or that they 378 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: do that we wish we had, or do we wish 379 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: we did better. Come on, we're we're a freight train. 380 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: We're a freight train. Don't worry about what we don't 381 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: got and I will say that, you know they invested 382 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: a second round pick in James Cook, who I think 383 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: flashed last week in the passing game. I realize he's 384 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: probably not the between the tackles runner that our caller wanted. 385 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: But give it a little bit of time and I 386 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: think you'll see that James Cook, James James Cook can 387 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: be an added weapon in this offense. Maybe not in 388 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: the fashion that you think, but I think he will 389 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: be a weapon that fits this offense perfectly for what 390 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: they want to do with the running back position. I 391 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: just think some things have to unfold. And I'll say 392 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: this because we talked about this yesterday. Aaron Cromer was 393 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: brought in to change the rushing attack formula, and I 394 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: think it's going to take some time, just like anything 395 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: else that's new. And you know, you want to have 396 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: your criticisms, now, that's fine. Let's see where it is 397 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: in week six, seven and eight. Week seven to buy. 398 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: But by the time we get to mid season, let's 399 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: see what this run game looks like. I'm not what 400 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: are you talking about? It? Re scored thirty one on 401 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: the World Champions forty one on the one seed came 402 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: in and you got no offensive line. Nineteen guys are 403 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: on the injured list, and you're worried about running the 404 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: foot you're saying we should have run the Come on, 405 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: it's a So you want to take the ball out 406 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: of Josh Allen's hands. That makes a lot of sense. 407 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if it does. I don't know if 408 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: he's saying that. I think the only thing and this 409 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: is what he's saying, anytime you get the football off 410 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: to another guy, it's out of Josh's hands. Yes, And 411 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: if you want to get a NT guy who you 412 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: want to give it to more, that's exactly what you're saying. No, 413 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: what he was saying was he doesn't feel like any 414 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: running back on our roster intimidates any team in the 415 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: league because there's no fear that they're going to gain 416 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: any appreciable yardage of any kind. And he believes if 417 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: you have a big back, you at least offer the 418 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: threat of that, and it has to be respected. He 419 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: doesn't think that our running backs are respected by any 420 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: opposing defense. He's worried about respect. Well, they respect you 421 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 1: when they hang forty one points on you. Well, I 422 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: know how much they think they respect you when you're 423 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: hanging forty one points and you got a four to 424 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: one touchdown ratio. How much respect do you think they're getting. 425 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: You don't think they're Yeah, okay, I think we've covered that. 426 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: Spare me that. Let's move along to Keith in Holland next. 427 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: What do you have for his Keith? Oh? Yeah, Brownie. 428 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: First of all, just like to say the squirrel problem. 429 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: Dog did his job. Maybe maybe Steve knows from uh, 430 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: from hunting essence or something. The dog finds the animal 431 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: and then you're supposed to finish the job. I just 432 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: about all right. Well, okay, you took a picture with 433 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: my uh grandson over in East store or this weekend, 434 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: and I want to thank you. It's a big deal 435 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: for him. Who me, Well, no, for my grandson, it's 436 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: for me. I know you're talking about. Steve took the picture. 437 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: Steve took a picture the past weekend. All right, Keith, 438 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: what's up that? For a lot of people? No worries? 439 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: What's on your mind? Keith? What else he was worried about? 440 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: The squirrel? The squirrel just Brownie was supposed to take 441 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: care of the squirrel. Well I did eventually with you know, 442 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 1: with a roof rake in one hand and my my 443 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: spike ball net and the other. I mean I was 444 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: no gladiator, but for me, I got a much grandkids. 445 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: I had got one of their swords and shields, and 446 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: I could have done the whole thing. Yeah, in costume, 447 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: what are we gonna say, Keith? No, I just gotta see. 448 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: Normally the dog makes see im will come around by 449 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: you so you can finish the job. So I think 450 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: you were a little critical as a dog. I think 451 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: you did what you're supposed to do, all right. Do 452 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: you want to give full marks to my dog? That's fine, Keith, 453 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. I'll try to be 454 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: better prepared. But my older dog, she used to just 455 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: chase him clean out of the yard and I have 456 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: to lift a finger. My younger dog, she's I guess 457 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: she's learning you. She got totally faked out of her 458 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: socks though, because the squirrel doubled back on her and 459 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: ran in my garage yesterday. It was nuts. I don't 460 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: know how it happened, did you. What's the biggest critter 461 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: you ever had to deal with? Skunk? Oh, that's not fun. 462 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: My older dog got sprayed by a skunk. She ran 463 00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: right up to the thing, and the thing just turned 464 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: tail and said, I don't care. Yeah, what do you 465 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: have to do with that? How do you get rid 466 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: of one of those? If they're oh you just okay? Yeah? 467 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: What was it in your garage or your shit or something? 468 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Those they were they were most night after night. They 469 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: were right out in my backyard and and I you know, 470 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: you can't let anything outside, you know, I just yeah, 471 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: I just dispatched him. Okay, they're going And that the 472 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: problem is, you know what happens when you Yeah, you 473 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: got to bury him quick. How deep the fastest hole 474 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: you can dig? You dig it? And you think, you 475 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: know what my dad has to deal. He lives in 476 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: South Carolina. You know what they're you doing with them 477 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: down there? Armadillos. Oh yeah, they have completely migrated across 478 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: the Sun Belt from Texas and now ups in South Carolina. 479 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: They're not good for anything either. They'll cut your power 480 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: lines to your house if they're underground. Yeah, they just 481 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: dig dig dig dig dig. He can't stand arm dellows. 482 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: They're like public Enemy number one for him. They don't 483 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: move too fast, though, and you can trap him. So 484 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: all right, this critter talk brought to you by Steve 485 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,959 Speaker 1: and Chris.

So with that will turn it over to 505 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: your questions. Correct, you have to go outside? Did give 506 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: us I'll date that Rhoads and you know what, Yeah, 507 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: a lot of experience overall there and and um, you 508 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: know on our practice squad, the saying that's kind of 509 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: the new look practice squads these days of compared to 510 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: what they used to be, right, Um, so experienced players 511 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 1: play a lot of football ball production. Um, you know, 512 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 1: smart veteran player. Um, you know, came in the other 513 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: day to do a good job. And and we're looking 514 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: forward to seeing him on the field today. Yeah, he'll 515 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: do He'll be limited today, I'll do some individual and 516 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see what he can do from there. 517 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: Than you'll get into the game, Serge Marcus, I can play. 518 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: But we've seen Surran kind of elevated preseason. Why why 519 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: didn't he see time on the outside. Yeah, just you know, 520 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: again the heat just with what was going on and 521 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: trying to keep you know, you got a very good 522 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: special teams player that was playing for us. And if 523 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: he's got a double dip then and what takes away 524 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: from special teams. So that's that's where we were, and 525 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: we have a lot of confidence in Suran, but just 526 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: wanted to be mindful of that. Do you expect there's 527 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: going to be criticism, because yeah, I think we've shown that, right. 528 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: I mean you look back, as I said, a few 529 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: was it a a few weeks ago when I was asked 530 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: this question about close games two and twenty, I think 531 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: it was we were maybe five and one. So we've 532 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: shown that over the years. I think twenty seventeen we 533 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: were either break even are pretty good there too. So 534 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean the NFL is a game of close games, right, 535 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: It's a legal close games. So I think we have 536 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: to continue to work on executing down the stretch and 537 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: in order to win those games. Said don't know in 538 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: the last year to talk about the way that you 539 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: handle those late game situations. Fine, ways to get better. Yeah, absolutely, Jerry, absolutely, 540 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's an ongoing conversation. You know, 541 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: we spent a lot of time in those last two 542 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: to three plays of the game situations on all sides 543 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: of the ball, and then you you're out of practice, 544 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: I believe, and you see us working on two minute 545 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: out there quite a bit as as much as I've 546 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: ever been around, to be honest with you. So M 547 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: so we're we're I think our process is right and 548 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: then we've got to continue to execute and in the 549 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: final moments of the game. So the challenges adding a 550 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: veteran once the season starts, well, I mean there's I 551 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: think adding a veteran is maybe a little bit different 552 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: than adding an inexperienced player, especially this time of year. Um, 553 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: you know, they bring the experience, but but it's also 554 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: sometimes we have to strip away some of the other 555 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: things that they've learned at other places, be it terminology 556 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: or just ways of doing things. So, um, it does 557 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: add value. There's value there, but then there's some some 558 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: challenges that you do have to get over too, compared 559 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: to a maybe an inexperienced player as a rookie or 560 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: first year player. Guys, the last two times your defense, 561 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: he's done an amiable job against Lamar. I mean, this 562 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: guy's killed other teams. He hasn't really killed you a team. 563 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: What do you attribute Jack, But how have you been 564 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: able to limit the damage that he's been able to do? 565 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: Lamar is a tremendous player. He's an elite player. UM, 566 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: one of the faces of the of the NFL. UM. 567 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I just think it's uh, it's a 568 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: um just you gotta you gotta have a total team effort, 569 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: right and that's just not defense but offensively special teams 570 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: to do their part. And we've been we've been able 571 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: to do that. UM. You know, I think the defense 572 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: has played good team defense and discipline defense. UM. He's 573 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: just so good in so many different areas that that uh, 574 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: as you've seen this year. He can he can, uh 575 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, they can as an offense, UM put up 576 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: points in a her. I think they'll lead the league 577 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: and points scored. So um, you know, he's got weapons 578 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: on the outside. He's he's uh with the new with 579 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: DuVernay and and uh Bateman there, and they can take 580 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: a short pass and turn into a big gain and 581 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: so they're very explosive with Lamar and and then he's 582 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: got you know Andrews and what he does and he's 583 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: so savvy and strong and good after the catch there. 584 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: So UM, you know, they're they're a tough offense on 585 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: the first few years for sure, maybe a limited pass, 586 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: good pass for a limited guy, does the does the 587 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: defense have to change a bit because he clearly isn't 588 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: unlimited pass or anymore. And this is a guy who 589 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: now is probably a pretty pretty good pension. So he 590 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: is and the stats reflect that. Um, so that's why 591 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: that's why he's as good as he is. I mean, 592 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,479 Speaker 1: he's he's a two dimensional player. And um, you know, 593 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in the league against a 594 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: little more on board? Is that that force of the defender, 595 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: that edge guy in terms of obviously having to deal 596 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: with all the readoption stuff. And I know it's one 597 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: part of a whole team effort, but you know that 598 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: guy in the edge seems like an important cod who 599 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: comes to being able to contain the model. Yeah, the 600 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: perimeter of the defense is important to your point. Um, again, 601 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: you've got to be a Simon Sound whoever's whoever's job 602 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: that is on every play and that includes third down 603 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: as well. So um, you know, again it's going to 604 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: be a team effort. Uh, you've got to play great 605 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: team defense or Simon Sounds more this split position or 606 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, let to be able to keep up 607 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: with him more important well, both, Um, it's it's good 608 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,719 Speaker 1: to be in position. But but if you can't make 609 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: the play, that's a we've got to We've still have 610 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: a problem on our hands there. So, but we have 611 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: we have confidence in the guys on our team that 612 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: we've got you know, athletic players, uh in those positions 613 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: and and uh you know, but the discipline pieces is 614 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: important secondary. How much you Karen Um to be that 615 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: leader among a group that's very young and as an experience, 616 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: and how much do you need him also to play 617 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: He's want of letters well going, what's going on in 618 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: that in that secondary? Yeah, um, no, it's a valid question. 619 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: I mean when you look at what Terren's being able 620 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: to do and who's around him at times or who's 621 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: been around him, you know, you want to a veteran 622 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: voice and a guy that's that's played in our system 623 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: for a few years and he's done that, and I 624 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: think Terren's playing really good football and you know, I 625 00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: expect will continue to do that. Is John Muller the 626 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: challenge of the game. So many experienced players ready ready 627 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, John's great. Um, those guys, you know, 628 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: he just he just works. He doesn't say anything about it, 629 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: and he just he just goes to work and gets 630 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: those guys ready, and it just seems like one after another, 631 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: year after year after year, he's been able to do 632 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: that at a high level. You're the biggest challenge when 633 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: you have so many experienced players, it's not just one 634 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: or two, it's fun way the entire secondary would get parents. 635 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: So what is that biggest challenge in terms of getting 636 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: the set, the whole secondary ready. Well, you're talking about 637 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: players that haven't always been around each other and been 638 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: in a system for a number of years where they 639 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: where they have a report built up in the communication, 640 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: the necessary communication built up, so um, and that all 641 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: leads to execution at the end of the day. We 642 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: talk a lot about getting guys ready for a game 643 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: like Lamy. What about recovering after a game like Miami? 644 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: What that looked like maybe over the last forty eight 645 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: hours for you guys, as you have to get those 646 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: fluids back in then get them ready for Sunday. Yeah. Um, 647 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: I think they've done a great job of that. We've 648 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: moved forward in this case and looking at the Ravens 649 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: this weekend and practice today obviously, and the guys seem 650 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: that they're in a good spot and focused on focused 651 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: on improving today and getting better. Yet well, I think 652 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: it goes back to again a little bit of Jerry's 653 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: question earlier about you know the games come down. There's 654 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: it's in the margins most in most games, right in 655 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: terms of what leads to what separates winning from losing 656 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: and whatnot. And I think you know it's a detail, 657 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: it's the execution and there's a lot that goes into that. 658 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: And then knowing how much does playing two dimensional football 659 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: impact your ability to finish drives and in finish games, 660 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: you haven't been able to get the running game going, 661 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: And kind of a multipoon question, is there any disappointment 662 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: in that you haven't been able to get the running 663 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: game going with the additions you made on the offensive line, 664 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: in the back fielding, but the offensive line coach Karen Homer, 665 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: we I'll start with with with just confidence in the 666 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: offensive line. I've got a lot of confidence in air 667 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: and our offensive lineman. Um, you know we didn't get 668 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: it going this past weekend. And um, I think as 669 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: the as a season, especially the beginning part of the 670 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: season unfolds, you're always collecting data, collecting information. Then where 671 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: do you need to make adjustments? Where do you how 672 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: do you need to evolve as an offense in this case, 673 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: you know, so that we can continue to improve and 674 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: win games and and uh to be to kind of 675 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: just cover your ears or your eyes to that and 676 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: other things like that wouldn't be responsible. And we're all 677 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: about that. So that means um, taking the time to 678 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: research it, um, looking ourselves in the mirror, and then 679 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,760 Speaker 1: knowing what we got to work on improve as a team, 680 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: you can improve better on offense. Do you feel the 681 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: team is needing to come dramatically bold? Well, you look 682 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: at everything again, I'm starting personnel wise. I'm extremely comfortable 683 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: and confident the guys that we have as well as 684 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 1: coach cromer Um. So there's there's a lot of a 685 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: lot of things that go into that, not just you 686 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: know one thing. In this case, we've seen them art 687 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: as much as arctus. What do you see that straction? 688 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: What do you guys have to watch for ramping back? Doctor? Yeah? 689 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: I mean, um, that was a you know, significant situation there. Um. 690 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: So with all players, Catherine, we have a ramp up 691 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: type of plan. Nate does a great job along with 692 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: our sports science and strength coaches with that plan. And 693 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: what they can handle the first day back, like today 694 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: versus tomorrow, And usually what happens is you ramp them 695 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: up a little bit today, like we're gonna do with Dane, 696 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: and then see how he is when he comes back 697 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: in tomorrow, and then assess and and try and wrap him, 698 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, even further in the next day. So that's 699 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 1: usually the the progression, if you will, and hopefully that's 700 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: the case with Dane. He's watching d on Lamar and 701 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: knowing that you have Josh bring back any memories of 702 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: the process you'll have to go to a twenty eight 703 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: team to find the right quarterback and knowing that you 704 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, these two are stand ups of that class. 705 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: I mean you just you look at what Josh has 706 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: been able to do and then you look at Lamar's 707 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 1: game and they're they're a little bit different in terms 708 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: of you know, their strengths maybe and um, but just 709 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: it's good for the league. I mean, these are two 710 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks that played at such a high level. Um 711 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: they give you headaches. They're they're hard to stop because 712 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: of their multidimensional and what they do and how they 713 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: can do it, um And so a lot of respect 714 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure around the league for Josh and of course 715 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: we love Josh and a lot of respect for Lamar 716 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: in this case too. Every season head of their adversity, 717 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: you can't how you handle it. What is your message 718 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: to the team amidst all these injuries, amidst you know, 719 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 1: high going down? What is the message to the team. 720 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: I think our environment is the key piece of this, 721 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: right Like what's in the environment and uh and right 722 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: now we're focused on, you know, minimizing distractions and maximizing performance. 723 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: And I think that's the key is we have to 724 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: focus on proving our football team on a day to 725 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: day basis and doing everything possible to do our jobs 726 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: at a higher level so we get the necessary execution. 727 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 1: And in order to do that, you've got to make 728 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: sure that your mind is in the right spot and 729 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: that you're minimizing those distractions. Like I said, sense of 730 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: Jordan Fellows timeline in a general sense, whether it's more 731 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: day to day week week, yeah, I don't. I don't really. 732 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen this week, Jay, 733 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 1: And I'm feeling like it's a little bit more week 734 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,879 Speaker 1: to week. I'm hopeful for next week, but we'll see 735 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: where it goes. Prefer to happen on the field, but 736 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: it is my good just kind of become an additional 737 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: coach at this point. I mean we saw him on 738 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: the sideline against the Dolbens. Is that going to be 739 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: his role moving forward? But we'll see, you know, we're 740 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: going to take that one day at a time. Also, UM, 741 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: I could tell you this, he would always be welcome 742 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: on the on the give him a whistle. Um. I've 743 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: joked with him about that a couple of days ago. 744 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: But he'd make a very good coach if if he'd 745 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: ever want to embrace that role. We'll see. Can you 746 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,959 Speaker 1: just talk about your disappointment for Christian Benford? He really 747 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: earthed on the scene, sees the opportunity. And on top 748 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: of that, just how does a rookie rebound from an 749 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: injury like this, gaining such momentum and having to kind 750 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: of take a break and come back. Yeah, that's Um, 751 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: it's a shame that that it had happened, but that's 752 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: life in the NFL. And he was off to a 753 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: really good, good start and um, and so there'll be 754 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: a process, as I mentioned earlier, bringing him back. Um, 755 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: you know, he had the surgery yesterday. I think it 756 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: was yesterday, right, losing track of days, but um, he 757 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: had the surgery yesterday and it went well, and now 758 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,479 Speaker 1: it's about how do we get him back as quickly 759 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 1: as possible but also as safely, more importantly as possible. 760 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: So we have a plan in place for that, and again, 761 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: our medical staff, our training staff, our our supports science 762 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 1: and strength and conditioning coaches do a great job with it. 763 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 1: He handles it mentally though, Like mentally as a rookie, 764 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: you gain all that moment and then the disappointment and 765 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: then just revamping that in your mind and moving out. Yeah, 766 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 1: that's uh. We we talked. We talk a lot about that, 767 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: and I'm kind of chuckling because that's a that's a 768 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: real thing, especially for a young player who has never 769 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: played in this league up until this season, and then 770 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: on top of that, hasn't been hurt in the in 771 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: the league. Um, you know, some of these players may 772 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: have been hurt in college, but being hurt in the NFL, 773 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: going through that for your first time is there's a 774 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 1: mental component to that. So again, confident in the people 775 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: that we have downstairs to help him through that the 776 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: best that they can. And he cannot. I know you 777 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: guys pay attention to the forecasting. You dialed into that 778 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: something you prepare forward. Yeah, we as we started talking 779 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,240 Speaker 1: about it honestly before we got off the plane um 780 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: Sunday night there, knowing that that could be the case. 781 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean usually these things tracking if they go up, 782 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: they go up and they hit kind of that that 783 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: metro area there and in DC Baltimore from time to 784 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: time with with remnants of it. So we're tracking it, 785 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 1: we're monitoring it, and we'll just take it one day 786 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: at a time, all right. That's head coach Sean McDermott 787 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: addressing maybe a prior to practice today. We are at 788 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: break time here. When we come back, we'll discuss some 789 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 1: of coach mcdermot's comments and take more of your phone 790 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: calls here on one Bill's Line.

Hey, how are 800 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:56,439 Speaker 1: you guys doing today? Yeah, I'm down here Gudgings the hurricane. Yeah, 801 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: good luck. I watched the game last week and when 802 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: Josh too ended her ground in the fourth quarter, and 803 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 1: then he went to the bench and they were looking 804 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: at his right hand. Now, what I'm trying to find 805 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: out is how is his hand? Yeah, I don't get 806 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: no information down. Yeah. Yeah, So he after the game, 807 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: he we're waiting to go in the locker room. He 808 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 1: walked right past us to go to the X ray 809 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 1: room right after the game went and got x rays. 810 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:37,240 Speaker 1: They were negative. And coach was asked about Josh today 811 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: and he said everything with his hand checked out. Fine. 812 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: It's essentially a bruised hand, is what he had. So 813 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: how did that happen? I think he probably beat it 814 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: on somebody's head when he followed through. He said, it 815 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: got caught between a couple of guys. Yeah, it might 816 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: have got caught on a pile up on his face 817 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: that he played a ninety snaps and he was on 818 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: the ground some and all of that, so thought it 819 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 1: was a snap that he took. Yeah, all, he didn't 820 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: indicate that, so he said. I think he said it 821 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: got caught between a couple of guys and a pile 822 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: up somewhere in the game. That is not why he 823 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: missed that throw, though. To Isaiah mackenzie on fourth and goal, 824 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: it's it's throwing mechanics there. Yes, he wanted to get 825 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: it out quick. But if you look at his throwing mechanics, 826 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 1: he is flat footed, open hipped, and he just tries 827 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: to arm it there and that's when you Yeah, that's 828 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 1: when you fall victim to a ball dying on you prematurely. 829 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: And that's what happened there. So if he hops and 830 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: sets his feet and drives into the throw, it's probably 831 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 1: there and on the money. But you know, the play 832 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: clock's winding down, it's fourth and goal. Maybe he's his 833 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: internal clock is rushed a little bit and he wants 834 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,280 Speaker 1: to get it out there fast. And in the past 835 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: he has found a way to arm throws to certain 836 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: places accessfully, but out to your right. When you're open 837 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: hipped like that and you throw flat footed, you know, 838 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 1: we've had Jordan Palmer on this show several times, who 839 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 1: works with him in the offseason. He will tell you 840 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: your mechanics can fall victim to inaccuracy if you throw 841 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: it that way. So it's a learning thing, and that's 842 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,479 Speaker 1: why you know, you hear Josh all the time say 843 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot of throws I want back, a lot of 844 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: things to learn from. That's something he can learn from 845 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,760 Speaker 1: that exact play. He's open hipped, he's flat footed, doesn't 846 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: step into the throw, and granted he's got pressure in 847 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: his face too. We're not blaming him for the mechanics. 848 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: Those are just the mechanics he had to utilize on 849 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,439 Speaker 1: that play. But they're not sound mechanics in any way, 850 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: shape or form. And that's why sometimes you know you 851 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,280 Speaker 1: have to actually could have stepped and thrown it properly 852 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: looking at it. He just hurried the throw. He could 853 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,360 Speaker 1: get it and and one hopped it out there. But 854 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: as far as his hand injury, that the last we 855 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: heard about it was like today he got he addressed. 856 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 1: It's like it's and you know you watched Josh out there. 857 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,840 Speaker 1: He's got nothing on his hands. He's thrown he's not 858 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: even Yeah, you probably used it on Monday. I iced 859 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,399 Speaker 1: it on Tuesday, got some treatment, good to go. Yeah, 860 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to be any lingering effects at all. 861 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: Back to the phones into Robin, Connecticut where you got 862 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 1: first Rob, gentlemen, how are you doing today? We're doing 863 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,359 Speaker 1: pretty good. All right. Well, it's a pleasure to speak 864 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: with Chris, and you was as well, Steve. I enjoyed 865 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: watching you back in the days. What I'd like to 866 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: say is that when I think of the Buffalo Bills today, 867 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: this team is a resilient team, and they also persevere 868 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 1: through everything. Since twenty eighteen, that's all they've ever done 869 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: them all right, And Chris, you touched on something on 870 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: Monday that has stuck with me every night before I 871 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,720 Speaker 1: go to bed, and that was the fact that when 872 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 1: you walked through the locker room and everybody was loading 873 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 1: the bus and Josh Allen was sitting there still in 874 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,879 Speaker 1: his uniform. Yeah, that just goes to show what kind 875 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: of person he is. And knowing that that happened reminded 876 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 1: me of when Stefan Dick had his hands on his 877 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: hips after that loss against Kansas City in the AFC 878 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,240 Speaker 1: Championship Game. This is the kind of team that learns 879 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: from what happened on Sunday. Just like von Miller had stated, 880 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,800 Speaker 1: this is good medicine for us. So, I mean, there's 881 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: nothing to worry about. Things happen. It's going to happen. 882 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: But as far as this Buffalo Builds football team today, 883 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 1: all it is is trusting the process. And when I 884 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 1: mean trusting the process, trust the process of the running game. Fans, listen, 885 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: You've got Singletary, You've got Zach Moss, and you've got 886 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 1: a young kid just coming out of college games Cook 887 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: who is actually an all purpose back when you think 888 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 1: about it, give him a chance. Trust me. But our 889 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,800 Speaker 1: game is, yes, we like to throw the ball. As 890 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott was saying, it's all a process and they're 891 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: gonna find a way and they're gonna work the running 892 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: game into our system where it's all gonna even out, 893 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: and that's all we have to do. Just believe in 894 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 1: the fact that we can persevere through each game. Now 895 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, you know, I have 896 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,760 Speaker 1: friends I wear my Buffalo Bill stuff all the time 897 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 1: and they're always saying to me, oh, you guys are 898 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: gonna go to the Super Bowl. You're going undefeated. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, 899 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: whoa whoa. One game at a time, my friend, Okay, 900 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 1: one game at a time. And as far as the 901 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,840 Speaker 1: other thing, I wanted to stay all in there with this. 902 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,879 Speaker 1: The other thing is stuck out, is what Steve said 903 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: the other day. It was a dominating loss. It was 904 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: a dominating loss. We did not lose to Miami, all right. 905 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: It was just those miscus and the things that we 906 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: didn't capitalize. I thought, So there's nothing to get upset about. Yes, 907 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 1: I was a little disappointed, but there's nothing to get 908 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,799 Speaker 1: upset about this Buffalo Bills team. They're resilient and they 909 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 1: will persevere through everything that they do. They work hard, 910 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 1: all right, And I just want to let you guys 911 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: know that. Thanks all right, thanks for the calling. Rob 912 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:22,240 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah, I mean, I mean I mentioned Josh, 913 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 1: who's sitting there seething about the loss. You know, a 914 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: half hour after he's done with media and everybody's left 915 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 1: the locker room, it's still sitting with him and eating 916 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,359 Speaker 1: at him. He's not the only guy on this team. 917 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: Rob Astuteley pointed out, you know, Stefan Diggs has got 918 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 1: his hands on his head, staring at the AFC Championship 919 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: celebration after the twenty twenty season came to an end 920 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, watching the Chiefs celebrate the fact that 921 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: they were going back to the Super Bowl. So, yeah, 922 00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 1: those are the kinds of players that Brandon Being and 923 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott want on their team, where losing is not 924 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: acceptable and winning is the only object. That's who, that's 925 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: who they look for. They don't always get it right, 926 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,839 Speaker 1: but ninety five times out of a hundred they do. Yeah, 927 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 1: And you can dissect every loss all you want to 928 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 1: and try and look for things that the teams does wrong, 929 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: and you know all the things that go wrong and 930 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,480 Speaker 1: team does wrong, and you can blame them for the loss. Okay, 931 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 1: And they always lose close games and they always win big. 932 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: And somehouse people construe they lose close games as being 933 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:28,920 Speaker 1: a problem, as if losing by half their games by 934 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: double digits is better. I don't know, but all I'm 935 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 1: saying is, yeah, it's a good football team. They're still 936 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: a good football team. They wouldn't be a different football 937 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 1: team if they had gotten the field goal off in 938 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,880 Speaker 1: the last minutes of the Miami game and won it. 939 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 1: They're still the same football team today as they would 940 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 1: have been in that case, so it was not overreact. 941 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: Break time for us here. When we come back, we're 942 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 1: going to be joined in the next hour by Reggie 943 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 1: Gilliam Buffalo's Do It All Fullback. We'll be joining us 944 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: coming up here in a little bit on Bill's Live, 945 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:40,040 Speaker 1: presented by Collida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. These One 946 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Collida Health. Our number two on 947 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,799 Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Chris Brown, a thief tasker with you. One 948 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 1: Bills Live is the show players wrapping up practice. We 949 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: hope to have Reggie Gilliam in here shortly, but in 950 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: the interim we will go back to the phones at 951 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,360 Speaker 1: eight three, five fifty to hear from you as we 952 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 1: get ready for Bill's Ravens on Sunday and Matt and 953 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 1: Rochester is next. What do you have for us? Matt, Hey, guys, 954 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 1: I had a question, and forgive me if I missed something. 955 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:17,239 Speaker 1: Where's sir Rod Neil Well, he's working special teams. He's 956 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,239 Speaker 1: a core for special teamer and actually Coach McDermott, who 957 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 1: he played just last hour, was asked about why is 958 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: Serrand Neil not a factor in the defensive rotation at cornerback. 959 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,719 Speaker 1: You know, they had JaMarcus Ingram come up off the 960 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 1: practice and step right into the game, And it was 961 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 1: clear that the weather played a factor in that they 962 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 1: wanted Serrand Neil in top form on special teams, didn't 963 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 1: want to overtax him on defense, and so I think 964 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,359 Speaker 1: that was part of the reason why you didn't see 965 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 1: him as a veteran backup call up at the cornerback position. 966 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 1: Might that change this week if they're still shorthanded there, 967 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,319 Speaker 1: It's possible, but I think they value what Serrand Neil 968 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: does on special teams so much that there is a 969 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 1: concern about over taxing him there. I think that's that's 970 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,280 Speaker 1: also a reason why we don't see Isaiah McKenzie returning 971 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 1: punts all that often. He is the kick returner, but 972 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,480 Speaker 1: in terms of returning punts, that falls to Jamison Crowder 973 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 1: because Isaiah McKenzie plays a lot more snaps this year 974 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:23,240 Speaker 1: on offense. Yeah, it's a player usage thing. Yeah, coach 975 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: addressed it today. They felt overall they'd be more productive 976 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:32,280 Speaker 1: with with Cam was Cam Lewis coming in JaMarcus JaMarcus 977 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: Ingram coming in and Saran playing special teams rather than 978 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 1: having Cam do double duty. Right, So they don't want 979 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 1: him double dipping basically, right, And they just felt they 980 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,840 Speaker 1: were overall better if they did that. And I believe me, 981 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 1: I know what Saran Neil is going through because that 982 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,359 Speaker 1: it was the same thing for me. They didn't want 983 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 1: They wouldn't take me off special teams to play wide out, 984 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 1: even if there was a train wreck on the way 985 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: to the stadium, you know, because they had guys. They 986 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 1: just didn't want to take me off team. Yeah, so 987 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,239 Speaker 1: that's the way it goes. I mean, it's it's a 988 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 1: real consideration head coach has got to deal with and 989 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 1: they made the call, so yeah, it's yeah, he addressed that, 990 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 1: and that's the reason they wanted to stay. They felt overall, 991 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 1: both on special teams and on defense, they'd be more 992 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:23,400 Speaker 1: productive with that personnel combination. And I get it. And 993 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,759 Speaker 1: it could change. I mean, if the weather is more favorable, 994 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 1: if they know it not taxing, if they know it 995 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,680 Speaker 1: going in, yeah they might do it differently because they 996 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 1: could prepare to do it. But on the fly, they 997 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:39,040 Speaker 1: didn't want to do that, right, And let's not forget 998 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 1: this too. They lost one of their core special teamers 999 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 1: in the first half of that game, and Jake Kumero, 1000 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: who was double dipping and got injured, And you know 1001 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: that's a concern too. You can get hurt on any 1002 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,759 Speaker 1: given play, and Jake Kumero gets hurt in the first 1003 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,320 Speaker 1: half as a wide receiver can't play the rest of 1004 00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 1: the game. So special teams was already down one of 1005 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,919 Speaker 1: their core special teamers. You put Siran Neil out there 1006 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,320 Speaker 1: on defense at corner, now you're exposing him to extra 1007 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 1: snaps and extra risk of injury, not to mention losing 1008 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,600 Speaker 1: more water, you know, getting dehydrated playing more snaps. So 1009 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: if they were thinking about not playing Serrand Neil at 1010 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 1: corner after Jake Kumero, one of their other core special teamers, 1011 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: gets hurt, you can best believe there was no way 1012 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 1: he was going to see the field on defense after 1013 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 1: watching that happen, because then you're down another important special 1014 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 1: teams player. Now you're thin on defense, you're thin on 1015 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 1: special teams combined, and now you're even a weaker team 1016 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: in terms of all three phases. So that's kind of 1017 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:41,359 Speaker 1: where I think the thinking went on that front. So 1018 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 1: there you go, and you know, going into this week's game, 1019 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,879 Speaker 1: as we mentioned, whether it could be a factor again 1020 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,160 Speaker 1: in a much different way. Not heat, but wet conditions, 1021 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,800 Speaker 1: windy conditions with Hurricane Ian pretty much a Cat five 1022 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: as they're making landfall in southwest Florida. By the time 1023 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 1: we get to the week can the track has the 1024 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 1: storm going up the eastern seaboard and right now the 1025 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,880 Speaker 1: forecast is seventy percent chance rain and winds of about 1026 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,120 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five miles per hour. So that's nothing 1027 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 1: to sneeze at that is impactful on an NFL game. 1028 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 1: I looked it up last night because I couldn't remember 1029 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: Steve whether M ANDT Bank Stadium at natural grass or turf. 1030 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 1: When they first opened, it was natural grass. But because 1031 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 1: of field condition issues, particularly late in the season down there, 1032 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, late November December home games were a problem 1033 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 1: with the grass. They switched over to turf in two 1034 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 1: thousand and two. They've updated in the years since and 1035 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,440 Speaker 1: they are a turf field, so hopefully drainage is not 1036 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,120 Speaker 1: an issue. You won't have mud as an issue either 1037 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,680 Speaker 1: if they have torrential rains, you know through the course 1038 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,520 Speaker 1: of Sunday. But the forecast is for plenty of rain. 1039 00:57:58,160 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 1: It's crazy. I was looking at some of the FOE 1040 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: asks for Florida, Like Daytona Beach is supposed to get 1041 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: between twelve and eighteen inches of rain. It's like a 1042 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 1: foot and a half of rain. And what is the thing? 1043 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,440 Speaker 1: It's one inch of rain is ten inches of snow. 1044 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: Think about that eighteen it's just snow. Eighteen inches of 1045 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 1: rain would be one hundred and eighty inches of snow. 1046 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:24,000 Speaker 1: Ye holy macar, think over twelve feet of snow. The 1047 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 1: thing is too, they're supposed to get that rain, between 1048 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 1: twelve and eighteen inches of rain on top of a 1049 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,720 Speaker 1: six to eight foot storm surge. Right, Well, you're in 1050 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,919 Speaker 1: land in Daytona. Well yeah, they're not baiting, not Daytona Beach. 1051 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:41,520 Speaker 1: Not Daytona Beach. You're so yeah, it's this storm is catastrophic. 1052 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,760 Speaker 1: I was thinking of Orlando because Orlando is gonna get 1053 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 1: about twelve inches of rain too. They're obviously in central Yea. 1054 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 1: But still it's an issue. The whole twelve inches of 1055 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: rain anywhere, it's an issue, right, It's it's bad, folks, 1056 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: and check on your loved ones in Florida, and we 1057 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 1: had a guy call in from where'd you call in 1058 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: from today? He didn't say, he just said he's in Florida. 1059 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,479 Speaker 1: So yeah, we're battening down the hatches here. He didn't 1060 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: tell us where he was. Typically, it's catastrophic and there's 1061 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: a chance we're gonna lose some lives. It's it's bad, 1062 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 1: it's really bad. So when we sit here and talk 1063 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 1: about the Bills game coming up in Baltimore, there's some 1064 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 1: serious stuff going on. All right. We just got an 1065 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 1: updated weather forecast for Sunday and now the wind forecast 1066 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 1: has dropped considerably. Now they're only expecting ten mile per 1067 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:36,040 Speaker 1: hour wins. Well, that's good news. And where are we 1068 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 1: Sunday or fifteen miles per hour? Sorry I was reading 1069 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 1: the wrong Sunday fifteen mile per hour wins. Chance of 1070 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,320 Speaker 1: rain is now down to fifty two percent Saturday, the 1071 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 1: rain is supposed to be ninety four percent. The good 1072 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 1: news is they can keep the field covered on Saturday, 1073 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 1: so the rain showers are supposed to be dissipating come 1074 00:59:55,240 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: Sunday to some degree there. But you know we're still 1075 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 1: four or five days out. Oh, so the track of 1076 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 1: the storm is going to impact that forecast right now. 1077 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 1: It's a very slow moving storm ten miles per hour. 1078 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that's why that's why the rain 1079 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 1: total forecasts are so high, because the thing's moving at 1080 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 1: a snail's pace. It's not whipping across the peninsula Florida. 1081 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 1: That's one of the bad things as well, because it's 1082 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 1: the storm. Search spends so long on each site where 1083 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 1: it moves to. It's a slow moving storm and something 1084 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,960 Speaker 1: it's each one, I guess has up pluses and minuses. 1085 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,360 Speaker 1: The minus is that it takes a long time to 1086 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 1: go across and it's going to have every opportunity to 1087 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,920 Speaker 1: tear everything up. It's it's a bad storm, man, it 1088 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 1: is so bad. So we'll see, I mean, it'll have 1089 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,640 Speaker 1: some kind of impact on the game, hopefully not a 1090 01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 1: major impact. Wanted to remind you we're waiting to catch 1091 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 1: up with Reggie Gilliam, Bills fullback, who should be on 1092 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 1: set here with us in just a little bit of 1093 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,640 Speaker 1: time because we heard the music stop at practice. It's 1094 01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 1: audible from here. So practice is wrapping up for Wednesday, 1095 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,919 Speaker 1: and we also hope to bring you some comments from 1096 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 1: the podium as the players address the media after practice. 1097 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:14,160 Speaker 1: And then coming up at two thirty, we hope to 1098 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 1: catch up with former Ravens tight end Daniel Wilcox, who 1099 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 1: now does the Believe in Ravens podcast for his coverage 1100 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,360 Speaker 1: of the Ravens. Like to get some thoughts from him, 1101 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 1: being a former tight end on Mark Andrews, who really 1102 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 1: is just tearing it up in terms of production. He's 1103 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,439 Speaker 1: been unbelievable over the last year. As a matter of fact, 1104 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,360 Speaker 1: he's been a more productive tight end than even Travis 1105 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 1: Kelsey has for the Kansas City Chiefs. He is difficult 1106 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:45,760 Speaker 1: to stop. Just a big physical dude. I can really 1107 01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,960 Speaker 1: tear it up, so be interesting to see. And he's 1108 01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 1: the leading receiver for the Ravens this year, no surprise there, 1109 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 1: even though they use Rashad Bateman and they also use 1110 01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Devin DuVernay. You know they're big. They're big deep threats 1111 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 1: who have been big play threats. But right now, fresh 1112 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:08,800 Speaker 1: off the field is Reggie Gilliam, Bill's fullback and Fresh 1113 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,880 Speaker 1: off the Field Interviews brought to you by Austin Air, 1114 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 1: the official clean air provider, or the Buffalo Bills. Thanks 1115 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,959 Speaker 1: for taking some time here, you're still in your pats. 1116 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 1: Thanks for coming straight here. We appreciate it. Um, I've 1117 01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 1: been fascinated by coach Dorsey's usage of the twenty one 1118 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 1: personnel here early in the season. That's got to make 1119 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,080 Speaker 1: you happy as well. It was funny. We had Roger 1120 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Staffold in here a couple of weeks ago and we 1121 01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, how you're being used in 1122 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,920 Speaker 1: a multitude of ways within the scope of the offense Reggie, 1123 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, Reggie comes into the huddle sometimes 1124 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 1: he's like, all right, what am I? How often does that? Yeah, 1125 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 1: there's there's been a few times where after you know, 1126 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:45,600 Speaker 1: I hear a plan and I was like, Okay, I 1127 01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:46,960 Speaker 1: know what he's got. I know what he's got. I'm like, 1128 01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,520 Speaker 1: which one am I just takes a second. Yeah. Registered Also, 1129 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 1: that's one of the things about it, you're kind of 1130 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 1: more flexible. He came in as a tight end, moved 1131 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 1: you to fullback, and it really is and it doesn't 1132 01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 1: feel like this when it happens, but it really is 1133 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 1: a testament to how bad they want to keep you 1134 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,920 Speaker 1: on the field and your versatility. What have they told 1135 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 1: you about your role going forward? And what do they 1136 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,640 Speaker 1: tell you week to week, particularly in the game like 1137 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: this it's just really more, the more you can do, 1138 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 1: that's what they always tell me. It's like, so, I 1139 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, we're gonna put you here. We're gonna 1140 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 1: see if you can handle this. You know, I just 1141 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 1: don't blink. You gotta keep rolling with it, right, You 1142 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 1: were you emergency tight end by the end of that 1143 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,080 Speaker 1: game last week, because it was basically Quintin Morris and 1144 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,280 Speaker 1: nobody else. I had to believe you were like tight 1145 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,120 Speaker 1: end too at that point. If they need to turn 1146 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: to somebody else, really, I am wegency anything. So so 1147 01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: if we're down anywhere, I can fill in. Yeah, I 1148 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 1: mean I was. I was looking up and down the roster. 1149 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,760 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, it's probably Reggie. If something happens 1150 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,760 Speaker 1: to Quinton, give us some give us an idea about 1151 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,880 Speaker 1: the atmosphere on the sideline. As this game was going, 1152 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 1: everybody was starting to melt a little bit. Yeah, what 1153 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,880 Speaker 1: was the atmosphere? In the conversations on the sideline, there 1154 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:49,040 Speaker 1: was a lot of people just trying to keep each 1155 01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 1: other up because you know, tough atmosphere, you know, baking 1156 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 1: in the sun. So it's like, okay, we gotta keep pushing, 1157 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: like we're still in this game, let's finish strong and 1158 01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 1: we can rest later. So yeah, and the forecast is 1159 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,280 Speaker 1: still a few days away. It looks like weather could 1160 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 1: be a factor again this week in a much different way. 1161 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Yet nothing where you're probably happy that it's right. You're 1162 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 1: probably happy it's a turf field, though, because when you're 1163 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 1: playing on turf, even if it's a monsoon, your footing 1164 01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:18,520 Speaker 1: is usually pretty good. Sometimes that synthetic grass, though, can 1165 01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 1: get slick, right, Like, maybe just walk us through, Like 1166 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,840 Speaker 1: are you using a longer cleat when it's super rainy 1167 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 1: even if it's turf, or what are you doing? There's 1168 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 1: a choice? See, turf is tricky because there's so many 1169 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:29,640 Speaker 1: different types of turf, Like I don't know the like 1170 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 1: political names for him or whatever, but like you could 1171 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,160 Speaker 1: feel it, you know, somewhere more soft, somewhere bouncy, somewhere hard. 1172 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: So it's like you don't really know until you get 1173 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 1: out on the field. So you know it's smart to 1174 01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 1: take game will be important. Yeah, take a few pairs 1175 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 1: of cleats and go try them out in pregame to 1176 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 1: see which one feels best for you. Got you, Yeah, 1177 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 1: And as you get in there, you know this is 1178 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: a different kind of team as well. Early thoughts on 1179 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 1: facing this defense. They're a great defense. They got a 1180 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,919 Speaker 1: great front, a lot of big guys on the front line, 1181 01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 1: So you know, we're gonna have a great plan to 1182 01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 1: put us some best position to be successful. What do 1183 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:04,880 Speaker 1: you make of their unicorn of a fullback m fullbacks 1184 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 1: respect fullbacks. Yeah, but Patrick recard Man guys three h five. Yeah, 1185 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 1: that's that's a unicorn among fullbacks, right. Yeah. I'm a 1186 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 1: big fan of his work. So actually he was a 1187 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 1: d tackle. Yeah, yeah, you know, he's a freak athletic 1188 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 1: d tackle. So I'm sure they were just like, let's 1189 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 1: put this guy fullback, see what he can do. So 1190 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,040 Speaker 1: obviously he's a you know, phenomenal blocker, but he can 1191 01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,600 Speaker 1: also move at the ball in his hand. So for 1192 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,960 Speaker 1: three or five a big dude, it's not like just 1193 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,280 Speaker 1: clear this guy out of the hole. He had a 1194 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,480 Speaker 1: reception last week, Yeah for a first Yeah, it's like 1195 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,600 Speaker 1: thirteen yard game. I think that's impressive. Yeah, it is 1196 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 1: red zone. Uh, in the eyes of many is kind 1197 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 1: of what cost you guys the game last week. I 1198 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 1: realized you were playing not that this is an excuse, 1199 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 1: but you had only the left side of your line 1200 01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 1: left by the end of the game, which obviously can 1201 01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:02,880 Speaker 1: impact consistency. No one had a playoff one another, combination blocks, etc. Um. 1202 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 1: What has to change down there in the red area 1203 01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:09,240 Speaker 1: going forward here to make sure you guys are more 1204 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 1: consistent about finishing drives in the end zone. This comes 1205 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 1: down to execution. You know, we need to do what 1206 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, Dorsey's putting in plant for us. You know, 1207 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 1: no matter who's in there, you know, they always say 1208 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,600 Speaker 1: next man up. So that's the mentality we have to 1209 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 1: go into with it. You know, we might lose a 1210 01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 1: few more or you know, whoever's coming back, I'm not 1211 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 1: sure yet, but either way, whoever's in there, it's execution. 1212 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 1: Who's imitating Lamar and processes? Today? It was tavon Austin 1213 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:35,080 Speaker 1: table we were we were we were kind of messing 1214 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,240 Speaker 1: with each other taking bets AND's gonna do it? Who 1215 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:38,760 Speaker 1: would be? And I said, I think it's gonna be 1216 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: Tap because that's the I mean, as far as a 1217 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 1: running guy, he would make sense from a skill set, 1218 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 1: like you want to mimic as Lamar. He's not as 1219 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 1: tall obviously, but you want speed. Yeah, he looked good. 1220 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: Out there though you completed a few passes. Yeah, that's awesome. 1221 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't spell good things for Sunday though, if you 1222 01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 1: got Tavon Austin completely passes. Uh okay. So why don't 1223 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: we look at maybe the complexion of this game, because 1224 01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, you guys want to get back on the 1225 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 1: winning track, obviously, but you got a team that historically 1226 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,800 Speaker 1: is tough to beat in that building. I mean under Jim, 1227 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,320 Speaker 1: under John Harbaugh, the Ravens have like a seventy one 1228 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,919 Speaker 1: percent winning percentage down. It's a tough place to play. 1229 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,680 Speaker 1: How do you and you're on offense, you know it's 1230 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 1: going to be loud, so I know, you guys, you 1231 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: silent count out the wazoo, and coaches got music blairing 1232 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 1: all the time. So it's just becomes like a white 1233 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,320 Speaker 1: noise thing that you guys can kind of overlook. But 1234 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,640 Speaker 1: what is the approach when you know you're encountering a 1235 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 1: hostile environment. Well, we know what we're getting into, and 1236 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,160 Speaker 1: we know we're going to be in preparation, you know, 1237 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 1: to put ourselves in the best position to be successful. 1238 01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,960 Speaker 1: You know, Doris and Sean, you know they're gonna have 1239 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 1: a great plan for us, and you just said, you know, 1240 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 1: the music blaring and silent counsel. You know, I just 1241 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:54,960 Speaker 1: listen to what they tell us to do. I know, 1242 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 1: I know they'll take care of it for us. What 1243 01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,240 Speaker 1: kind of what kind of gut you know, good natured 1244 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 1: ribbing has Ken Dorsey taken after he tore apart the 1245 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: press box after the interest those guys gotta be all 1246 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: over right. Yeah, he's a very passionate guy, you know, 1247 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,480 Speaker 1: passionate to say the least. But you know that's just 1248 01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 1: how Dorsey. You know, I don't want to say that's 1249 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:16,960 Speaker 1: how he is, but like he's you know, he's fired 1250 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,400 Speaker 1: up about his job and he loves what he does. 1251 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,920 Speaker 1: So for that to happen, you know, unfortunate situation. You know, 1252 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 1: has true color showed some there, but that's how that's Dorsey. 1253 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,320 Speaker 1: You factored into the passing game in the Tennessee game obviously, 1254 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,479 Speaker 1: you know he took that screen, broke a tackle, got 1255 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 1: in for the touchdown. And then last week, Motor James, 1256 01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,479 Speaker 1: I mean even Zach uh factored into the passing game 1257 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 1: in a big way. I think the backside like fifteen 1258 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 1: sixteen catches last week. I know that Devin was largely 1259 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 1: a safety valve option for Josh there. But what does 1260 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 1: that do for the room when you know you're contributing 1261 01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,280 Speaker 1: in a way that maybe not a whole lot of 1262 01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,800 Speaker 1: people expect if they expect you guys to get handed 1263 01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 1: the ball. But fifteen sixteen were options. I mean that's yeah, 1264 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,679 Speaker 1: that's big for the running back. So so yeah, with doors, 1265 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,280 Speaker 1: anybody can be anywhere. So it's like you can't just 1266 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,000 Speaker 1: know your spot. You may have to know a couple spots. 1267 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:10,960 Speaker 1: It's like me, like, I have to know all this 1268 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,479 Speaker 1: right whatever, so so exactly so it doesn't matter you 1269 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,000 Speaker 1: know what position you are by roster label. It's yeah, 1270 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 1: you could be catching as many passes as a receiver one. 1271 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 1: So you get out of this game Sunday and you're 1272 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:23,760 Speaker 1: looking towards this one, you get a you know, you 1273 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 1: got a whole Thursday, Friday, Saturday, three more days before Sunday. 1274 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: How has it gone in the recovery because I know 1275 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 1: it was a really rough physical game this last weekend 1276 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,800 Speaker 1: and the heat and the humidity and everybody falls out 1277 01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,640 Speaker 1: getting rehydrate. How has it gone this week trying to 1278 01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,800 Speaker 1: bounce back from that? You know a lot of guys 1279 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 1: have the routines, and I think it's just staying in 1280 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 1: our routine, you know, can't staying on the same preparation track, 1281 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,000 Speaker 1: getting in the training room, doing whatever you need to 1282 01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:48,800 Speaker 1: do to be ready to go. So we have the 1283 01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,200 Speaker 1: sad yesterday also a lot of guys were in there 1284 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 1: getting right, you know, ivs, whatever it may be.

UM, but it is, uh, it 1301 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 1: is crazy to think about I know that. You know, 1302 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,839 Speaker 1: you just brought it up. And you know Lamar's as 1303 01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,759 Speaker 1: an MVP player. UM, he's playing really really good football 1304 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:25,479 Speaker 1: right now. So you know, we're we're looking we're going 1305 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:28,120 Speaker 1: into a hostile environment. We have to find a way 1306 01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 1: to put our best foot forward. I think, you know 1307 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,920 Speaker 1: it's simple as we're we're doing what's asked asked of us. UM. 1308 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,000 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of different notions and opinions 1309 01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 1: about both of us coming out of the draft. UM, 1310 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, and we're just trying to find ways to 1311 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 1: help our team win football games. And you know he 1312 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,559 Speaker 1: does it as good as anybody in the league. So UM, again, 1313 01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: it's no it's no simple task for our defense to 1314 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,000 Speaker 1: go out there and play a guy like his caliber. UM. 1315 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 1: And it's no simple task for offense to against a 1316 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 1: defense and a team of their caliber, with with the 1317 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,720 Speaker 1: head coach that they've got and the continuity that they've 1318 01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 1: had in Baltimore for a long time. UM. So again, 1319 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,960 Speaker 1: we gotta have a good week and prepare for in 1320 01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,479 Speaker 1: our toughest battle yet for your first of all, um, 1321 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,880 Speaker 1: the short yardage hips relation. We asked Dorson and Sean 1322 01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,080 Speaker 1: about it, and they acknowledge that you guys for his 1323 01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 1: third one thirty two, you guys are struggling. How does that? 1324 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 1: How do you inclub on that situation? Yeah, I think, um, 1325 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,559 Speaker 1: you know, mindset, execution, Um, it all kind of comes 1326 01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 1: into play and just you know, calling a plane, stickt 1327 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:54,760 Speaker 1: with it and me not trying to do too much, 1328 01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,400 Speaker 1: um and you know, trusting you know, all eleven guys 1329 01:12:58,439 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 1: on the field to go out there and execute a job. 1330 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 1: So you know, we've been putting a lot of those 1331 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,559 Speaker 1: situations and um, you know we're only gonna get better 1332 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,200 Speaker 1: at those, but we got to continue to practice those 1333 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:09,120 Speaker 1: and find new ways to to get our playmakers the ball. 1334 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,280 Speaker 1: And UM, you know, I got no no doubt in 1335 01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 1: my mind that that's what Dorset will deal. He'll he'll 1336 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 1: find whatever's best suitable for us and try to apply 1337 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 1: to our game plan. But ultimately, when we were in 1338 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 1: the field, we gotta go out there next cute profess 1339 01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,320 Speaker 1: the playmakers. Dawson Knox kind of off to what mean 1340 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,160 Speaker 1: nine catches Um off to a little bit of a 1341 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 1: slow start. I know a lot of that is you're 1342 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,560 Speaker 1: getting the ball to dig. But do you need to 1343 01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 1: find a way to get Dawson a little bit more 1344 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: incorporated into this? I mean, actually, we'd love to love 1345 01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 1: to get everybody at the ball, um and the end 1346 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,679 Speaker 1: of the day, you know, Dawson's doing what he's asked 1347 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,280 Speaker 1: to do, you know, whether it's blocking an end or 1348 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,800 Speaker 1: getting out for checkdowns or running routes, UM. And I 1349 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,479 Speaker 1: got no no doubt that those will eventually pop. You know, 1350 01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,040 Speaker 1: There's there's gonna be times where he's asked to do 1351 01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:53,639 Speaker 1: a lot for us. There's gonna be times where he's 1352 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:55,280 Speaker 1: not not allow asked to do a lot for us, 1353 01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 1: as that goes with everybody else on the football field 1354 01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 1: as well. And I know he's staying patient and he's 1355 01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 1: just ready to do his job whatever that is. UM. 1356 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:04,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'd love to love to find ways to 1357 01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:06,920 Speaker 1: get him the ball and get him, you know, more involved, 1358 01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:08,920 Speaker 1: because he has such a weapon and asset for this team. 1359 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:15,080 Speaker 1: Like films on Monday, like a tired girl, level of 1360 01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,880 Speaker 1: hired just after day.

So I 1379 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,680 Speaker 1: had a lot of respects for our guys for you know, 1380 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:13,120 Speaker 1: handling their business stowaway time that there were ninety plays, Um, 1381 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,439 Speaker 1: you know there were times where they were stacking the 1382 01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,880 Speaker 1: line extrementage seventy eight and nine across. You know you 1383 01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:21,679 Speaker 1: see that and then mancovered and have a touch downs 1384 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 1: in their way. I mean, um, you see it at 1385 01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,800 Speaker 1: the problem you any fun any problem to drawing it 1386 01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,960 Speaker 1: three times to that's like the game or an uncoll Yeah. Um, 1387 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 1: whatever's asked you know of us on offense is what 1388 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 1: we're trying to do. Now. We got to be better 1389 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,800 Speaker 1: in some critical areas of that game and play better 1390 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:42,960 Speaker 1: situational football. And there's some things that we missed that 1391 01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,479 Speaker 1: we'd we'd like to have back. But you know, it's 1392 01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,160 Speaker 1: on to Baltimore and uh, we'll be able to use 1393 01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:51,560 Speaker 1: whatever we learned on Sunday, Um, you know for this 1394 01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 1: upcoming week, week and weeks to come. You know, you 1395 01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:58,240 Speaker 1: never never like losing games, Um, especially the way we 1396 01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,560 Speaker 1: lost them. But there's still a lot of good that 1397 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,000 Speaker 1: we can take out of that game and a lot 1398 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 1: of learning opportunities that we can take out. So um 1399 01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:07,400 Speaker 1: and guys got in there, looked at the film and 1400 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,479 Speaker 1: you know, we've turned our our attention and focus towards Baltimore. 1401 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:15,400 Speaker 1: What every player getting the running game growing or something 1402 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,439 Speaker 1: like that. Tortures thought about how important do you think 1403 01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:20,800 Speaker 1: that that is? Do you guys success on offensive, because 1404 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,040 Speaker 1: how do you think that you can start they're running 1405 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,880 Speaker 1: give the year? Yeah, Um, I'd say, just just trusting it, 1406 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,400 Speaker 1: trusting actually the guys that have the ball in their hands, 1407 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 1: trusting our our five six guys up front, UM tight 1408 01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:35,640 Speaker 1: ends included, UM, you know, just sticking with it. You 1409 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,240 Speaker 1: know it's not going to be perfect every single time 1410 01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,000 Speaker 1: we call run play and we're not asking for it 1411 01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,200 Speaker 1: to be perfect. We're just you know, we're asking for 1412 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, it to be idea the right way and 1413 01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 1: guys giving max effort and you know, making sure that 1414 01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm putting us in the right calls and situations, um 1415 01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,160 Speaker 1: to go out there and run them. So that's that's 1416 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: really all it takes. Your first response to Mark about Yeah, 1417 01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,639 Speaker 1: Sean had said, you're you're pretty sure understandably coming out 1418 01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,360 Speaker 1: of that year you have the hand issue whatever, do 1419 01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 1: you have any lingering effects of that? And all the 1420 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,720 Speaker 1: better impacted you as you get ready for it. Now 1421 01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,320 Speaker 1: we're ready to go. Um, and I know there's some 1422 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,720 Speaker 1: I said, there's guys badling, some sorenus and some some 1423 01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 1: minor things that um, you know they're they're gritten through um. 1424 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:18,840 Speaker 1: Like I said, We got a lot of professional guys 1425 01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,400 Speaker 1: on this team that are handled the right way and 1426 01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,400 Speaker 1: staying in late and getting extra work in in the 1427 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,560 Speaker 1: training center and you know, hot tub, cold tub and 1428 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,040 Speaker 1: all that. Like I said, so, um, you know, we 1429 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:29,599 Speaker 1: got to find ways to get back on the field. 1430 01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 1: Stand on the field. If you kind of pool up 1431 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 1: at the end of the game, black a lot a 1432 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:44,680 Speaker 1: lot of fulling in your hand. Are you sharing coming that? 1433 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,680 Speaker 1: And I don't think it was that frustration at all. Um, 1434 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 1: you show me someone that's okay with losing, I'll show 1435 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,000 Speaker 1: you a loser. You know he's he's passionate about his 1436 01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,880 Speaker 1: job and and what he does. Um, we all feel 1437 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,120 Speaker 1: the same way. We just want to win football games. 1438 01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 1: And that's it. Every game is a different situation. Um, 1439 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,320 Speaker 1: obviously we've got to find ways to win them. But um, 1440 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,080 Speaker 1: you know we're working through that. And we don't see 1441 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:30,080 Speaker 1: that as a promin at all. Do you remember, Well, 1442 01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,240 Speaker 1: it's looking like it's gonna be similar weather, um to 1443 01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 1: that game, and it was torrential downpour and that first 1444 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,639 Speaker 1: one and actually going there at half time, I remember 1445 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,360 Speaker 1: the how the ball felt. It was kind of a weird, 1446 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:45,639 Speaker 1: tacky ball And again it was just torrential downpour. So, um, 1447 01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, just gotta make sure that we're ready for that. 1448 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:52,040 Speaker 1: And the crowd's going to be, um pretty loud. Um. 1449 01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,080 Speaker 1: Obviously again with with their coaching staff and in coach 1450 01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 1: our ball, he seems like he's got those guys too 1451 01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 1: ready to go.

I have a lot 1462 01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,880 Speaker 1: of fun doing it. Uman. He's he's playing as good 1463 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,360 Speaker 1: as anybody in the league right now. And um, you know, 1464 01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,720 Speaker 1: making sure that you know, points are priority this week, 1465 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,200 Speaker 1: the balls a priority this week, and um, you know, 1466 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:50,479 Speaker 1: we gotta go find a way to win the game. 1467 01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,320 Speaker 1: Terms of like Huban as a passer, I mean there 1468 01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,639 Speaker 1: are questions about your accuracy and he's more than answered 1469 01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,360 Speaker 1: them now. But that was the kind of a question 1470 01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,160 Speaker 1: about him. Um, what have you seen from him? Quarterback 1471 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,200 Speaker 1: to quarterback and view? I mean, he just does his job. Um. 1472 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't really evaluate you know, quarterbacks too much. UM, 1473 01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,040 Speaker 1: just trying to focus on on what I can do. 1474 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,519 Speaker 1: But UM, I mean again, he's he's won an MVP 1475 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,240 Speaker 1: and he's playing at MVP level right now. And UM, 1476 01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,439 Speaker 1: you know, giving all the drama and the details that 1477 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 1: that are going on, with all that contract situation that 1478 01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:24,920 Speaker 1: you know he's got going on, He's just like, you 1479 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna bet on myself and UM, I'm 1480 01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:42,320 Speaker 1: pretty sure it's gonna pay off. Um. You talk about, yeah, 1481 01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:46,320 Speaker 1: I think obviously being better in situational football. UM. And again, 1482 01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:51,880 Speaker 1: every game presents its own opportunities, UM, and obstacles that 1483 01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 1: we got to find a way to fight through. And 1484 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 1: you know this last one being being in critical situations, 1485 01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:00,360 Speaker 1: you know, right before the half, making sure that you know, um, 1486 01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,240 Speaker 1: I get to snap cleanly and find a way to snap, 1487 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, spike the ball, allow ourselves to kick a 1488 01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,639 Speaker 1: field goal there, or if it's a mindset or decision 1489 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:10,920 Speaker 1: that we can change throughout the game and make sure 1490 01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 1: that we're all on the same page. Um. But again, 1491 01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:15,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to have games like that where you 1492 01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,320 Speaker 1: do have mishaps in order to clean them up, you know. 1493 01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 1: And we're just happy that it happened in week three 1494 01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:24,760 Speaker 1: and not you know, week seventeen. How do you kind 1495 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: of flip the script for the next few year. You 1496 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,240 Speaker 1: gotta be ready for another time. That's why we played 1497 01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,120 Speaker 1: the game. Um, that's why we get, you know, paid 1498 01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,040 Speaker 1: to do what we do. And um, you know, trust 1499 01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:35,960 Speaker 1: in the leadership on this team and the guys in 1500 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,439 Speaker 1: the locker room to go out there and handle their business. 1501 01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,559 Speaker 1: I guess. So Josh pretty much confirmed his hands fine, 1502 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:47,360 Speaker 1: not to worry, and uh, he said they are preparing 1503 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,800 Speaker 1: in the event that it is a wet game. He 1504 01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 1: said he's played in some rain games before. They played 1505 01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,520 Speaker 1: in a lot of them here at home last year. Yeah, 1506 01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:58,080 Speaker 1: they'll be prepared for that. I was incorrect. It is 1507 01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:01,880 Speaker 1: a grass surface in Baltimore, so I was reading up 1508 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 1: on it last night. It was originally grass. They changed 1509 01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:07,400 Speaker 1: the turf in two thousand and two, and then apparently 1510 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:11,200 Speaker 1: they decided to change back to grass in twenty sixteen, 1511 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:15,160 Speaker 1: so they are a grass surface, so mud could be. 1512 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they'll have the thing covered until Sunday at 1513 01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:23,400 Speaker 1: like eleven. Yeah, they'll they'll uncover it. But when you 1514 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,519 Speaker 1: cover those things up with the tarp, those tarps, they 1515 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:28,840 Speaker 1: hold the moisture in the in the grass too. Because 1516 01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 1: of the canniescape, it's wet underneath the tarp. I don't 1517 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:32,880 Speaker 1: know what people I mean, I don't know why they 1518 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,000 Speaker 1: cover it. I guess. I don't for what reading keeps 1519 01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,040 Speaker 1: people off of it, I guess, But the simple fact 1520 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: of the matters they take that turf, that tarp off. 1521 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:43,519 Speaker 1: It's darp. It's not waterproof apparently. I don't know why. 1522 01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't it be waterproof? Isn't that the whole? The 1523 01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:49,840 Speaker 1: ground's wet underneath there? It always is. You pull that 1524 01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 1: thing back, it's just as wet underneath it it is 1525 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,920 Speaker 1: on top. Yeah, I don't know what. I don't I 1526 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 1: don't know how that doesn't do a better job. But 1527 01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:03,920 Speaker 1: you'll see, I mean, yeah, unless it unless you know, 1528 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't rain, or it rains early or waits till later, 1529 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a wet game. Field's going to be cruddy. 1530 01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 1: Slick um. Yeah, so grass surface is what they're dealing with. 1531 01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:23,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, if it gets really sloppy, the advantage offense there, right, 1532 01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:27,479 Speaker 1: because the old adage is if it gets sloppy and 1533 01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:32,439 Speaker 1: the field conditions are inconsistent, the offense has the advantage 1534 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,680 Speaker 1: because they know where they're going. The defense has to 1535 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 1: react to that, and all you need is one slip 1536 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:40,360 Speaker 1: and the defense is always a quicker reaction kind of thing, 1537 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,400 Speaker 1: and the offense can set up their steps so that 1538 01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,360 Speaker 1: they can make the cuts. Defense doesn't know where they're going, 1539 01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:50,040 Speaker 1: so they have to plant harder to react and if 1540 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,160 Speaker 1: it if it comes out like that, yeah, some I've 1541 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:54,599 Speaker 1: seen games like this turn into I've been a part 1542 01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 1: of some games that turn into shootouts because the footing 1543 01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,400 Speaker 1: is a little is just the right level of bad. 1544 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:04,479 Speaker 1: But if it's bad, it's bad. Hint, because it works. 1545 01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,439 Speaker 1: The ripple effects are you know, you kind of don't 1546 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 1: think about it. It's it's a ripple effect for the 1547 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:13,080 Speaker 1: offensive line, for the defensive line, for the linebackers, for 1548 01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,160 Speaker 1: the running backs coming out, for the quarterback dropping back 1549 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:19,040 Speaker 1: and then trying to gauge how bad the footing is 1550 01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,800 Speaker 1: for a guy that's twenty yards away, and how is 1551 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:23,599 Speaker 1: he going to come out of his break? Is if 1552 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:25,720 Speaker 1: I let this go and he slips a little bit, 1553 01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 1: we're not gonna get there. So they hold it a heck, 1554 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, a half second longer and they end up 1555 01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:35,240 Speaker 1: getting getting their head beat in by a defensive lineman 1556 01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:39,120 Speaker 1: who's got that extra time. So while the receiver might 1557 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,559 Speaker 1: come open more, it takes him a little half second 1558 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 1: longer to get there, and there's no guarantee that that 1559 01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,000 Speaker 1: half second is going to be available to the quarterback 1560 01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:48,920 Speaker 1: to wait, and he's gonna have to wait because he 1561 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:54,200 Speaker 1: doesn't know if that guy's coming out of his break sharp. So, yeah, 1562 01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:59,560 Speaker 1: the uncertainty of it is what squashes you. And you 1563 01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:03,719 Speaker 1: know there's always uncertainty under in those conditions on a field, 1564 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:08,360 Speaker 1: So right, and a grind it out game, you know 1565 01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,080 Speaker 1: if it comes yeah, people, you know, people are reminding 1566 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,439 Speaker 1: us today. You know our running game is not our forte. 1567 01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:14,800 Speaker 1: It's going to be hard to grind it out. You 1568 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,000 Speaker 1: don't have a grounded out offense. You got to throw 1569 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 1: it offense. There is a way to use a short 1570 01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 1: passing game to double as a running game. We saw 1571 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:25,240 Speaker 1: something last week against the offense. I mean he was 1572 01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 1: checking it down to Motor early in that game to 1573 01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,679 Speaker 1: beat some of the pressure packages that Miami threw at 1574 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,519 Speaker 1: Josh and the passing game, and it worked pretty well. 1575 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean it wound up. They even blitzed down at 1576 01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,600 Speaker 1: the goal line and Josh threw it right over the 1577 01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 1: blitzer to Motor for the first touchdown of the game. 1578 01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:47,679 Speaker 1: So it's not like Josh is incapable of beating the blitz. 1579 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 1: He's done in an untold number of times over the 1580 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:55,960 Speaker 1: last few years. So what is Baltimore's approach. I mean, 1581 01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:59,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's quite as aggressive as my 1582 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 1: Ammy is, but getting pressure has been an issue for them, 1583 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 1: so they've had to send extra people when they want 1584 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:10,920 Speaker 1: to send pressure because Justin Houston's dealing with a groin injury. 1585 01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,240 Speaker 1: He's trying to play through it but has been relatively ineffective. 1586 01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 1: And Oda faway, their former first round pick from twenty 1587 01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,519 Speaker 1: twenty one, who came off the board even before. Gregor 1588 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:24,519 Speaker 1: Rousseau has had trouble getting home too. He's really lighting 1589 01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:27,760 Speaker 1: the pants. That was the knock on o way coming 1590 01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:31,400 Speaker 1: out of Penn State that he does he have the 1591 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:35,200 Speaker 1: bulk to help you set the edge in the run game, 1592 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:37,559 Speaker 1: and can he win with more than just pure speed 1593 01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,280 Speaker 1: off the edge as a pass rusher. I think the 1594 01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 1: jury is still out on that, but it's part of 1595 01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,320 Speaker 1: the reason they signed Jason Pierre Paul as a street 1596 01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,160 Speaker 1: free agent this past week, and there's a good chance 1597 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,400 Speaker 1: that we see JPP on the field this weekend. Right. See, 1598 01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:55,160 Speaker 1: always a little bit like the Bills guys, except he's 1599 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 1: listened antside linebacker. He's like, he's like aj Panessa and 1600 01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:01,280 Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau. He's six five two seven, he's right in there, 1601 01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 1: you know so, And I think that's generous looking at him. Right, 1602 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,680 Speaker 1: So that's the kind of guy, isn't now that you 1603 01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 1: know those guys can play, because we've got two of 1604 01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 1: them on our team or three of them on our team. 1605 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,240 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see what Oway does. But 1606 01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:15,880 Speaker 1: obviously they you know, they want to get him some 1607 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,240 Speaker 1: help anyway. So maybe in a grinded out game, a 1608 01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:21,320 Speaker 1: guy like Oway has trouble standing up. I don't know. 1609 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 1: I doubt that an outside linebacker in a three to 1610 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,840 Speaker 1: four is not very good at setting the edge. I 1611 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,280 Speaker 1: imagine he's pretty good at it. Yeah, we'll take a 1612 01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,519 Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, Steve and I with 1613 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,799 Speaker 1: some final thoughts. Next here on One Bill's Live, presented 1614 01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:52,280 Speaker 1: by Collot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back 1615 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,719 Speaker 1: to One Bills Live. Just to bring up to speed, 1616 01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:58,400 Speaker 1: we mentioned it earlier on the show. Dane Jackson back 1617 01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:00,519 Speaker 1: out at practice today on a limited basis, had a 1618 01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:02,800 Speaker 1: red non contact jersey on, but just good to see 1619 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:06,639 Speaker 1: him out there. He has since addressed the media since 1620 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,880 Speaker 1: practice ended, and he was asked, you know about the 1621 01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 1: neck injury, and he said, after all the tests that 1622 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 1: were done, he was really just sore from getting his 1623 01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 1: neck bent back. Very awkward that you think, he said, 1624 01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:24,000 Speaker 1: but it was nothing more than that. And he said 1625 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,640 Speaker 1: he has watched the hit and the play from the 1626 01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:28,760 Speaker 1: Tennessee game. He said it makes his back hurt when 1627 01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,720 Speaker 1: he watches it. But it was great to see him 1628 01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,240 Speaker 1: back out there are practice. He's smiling, you know, he's 1629 01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:37,479 Speaker 1: back with his teammates and Steve. If he comes through 1630 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 1: this week, well he may play on Sunday, which I 1631 01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,839 Speaker 1: think two weeks ago people might have thought that's crazy. 1632 01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:47,680 Speaker 1: That's why that's why it's such You just don't know. 1633 01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,519 Speaker 1: The game is such a game, the physicality of the 1634 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:52,640 Speaker 1: game when you see it, Like the Micah Hyde hit 1635 01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:58,000 Speaker 1: looked totally innocuous. He's out for the season. The Dane 1636 01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:03,000 Speaker 1: Jackson hit looked catastrophic. He's back after a week. It's amazing. 1637 01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,960 Speaker 1: You just never know how that goes. You got guys 1638 01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:09,599 Speaker 1: running down the field untouched and snapping their acls. Then 1639 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,559 Speaker 1: you got other guys that looked like they get tossed 1640 01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:13,760 Speaker 1: into a tree grinder and spit out the other side, 1641 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,519 Speaker 1: and they walk away like they tied their shoe. There's nothing. Yeah, 1642 01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,240 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. There's no rhyme or reason. There isn't and 1643 01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:21,479 Speaker 1: that's why it's it's such a wild card in the 1644 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 1: end the season. And that's why the Bills over this 1645 01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:27,960 Speaker 1: last week it's like what you know, the roster is 1646 01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:30,600 Speaker 1: like unrecognizable. But if Dane can play, that would be 1647 01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:34,280 Speaker 1: huge for their secondary depth. We saw Jordan Poyer out 1648 01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:36,720 Speaker 1: there as well. That's good news. Hopefully this team's on 1649 01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:38,559 Speaker 1: the end. We'll see you tomorrow at one
