I would 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: think by Sunday when the Bills open up at home. 21 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm excited about this game. I have to temper my 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: excitement to see because it's only Tuesday. I don't want to, 23 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: you know, churn a lot. I've got work to do 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: to get ready for the game. You probably feel the 25 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: same way saving for a kickoff. But it's hard not 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: to get excited the way the Bills have started this season. 27 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: And it's only a start. I know, you'll get the projections. 28 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: Two and O teams do this, two and O teams 29 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: and three and OZ teams can do this. What sixty 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: percent of teams that go three and o't make the playoff? 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: Two teams know all that. That's great, doesn't mean anything 32 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: this year. Not a situation here. It doesn't mean anything. Yeah. Yeah, 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: And it's easy to get excited about a game like 34 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: this because you look around. I mean, the Cincinnati Bengals 35 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: are owing two. They lost to Seattle in Seattle, and everybody, 36 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: but everybody knows how tough it is to play out 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: there and play well. They lost by a point, They 38 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: played well, they played well, then they got their heads 39 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: handed to them by San Francisco and at home in Cincinnati, 40 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: at their home opener. That makes you feel like Wow, 41 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: what's going on there? But you know what's different about 42 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: them and what's going to happen. I don't know. All 43 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: I know is um Andy Dalton's a pretty good quarterback. 44 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: John Ross is a guy who they found. AJ Green's 45 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: not on the lineup, but somebody stepped up and stepped 46 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: up in a big way. John Ross has played extremely 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: well for the Bengals. And John Ross the form people 48 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: remember him by. Would think from the Combine two years 49 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: ago everything a four two two forty yard dash at 50 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: the Combine, broke the record two two and then he's 51 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: I think he's had twenty one catches last year. He 52 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: has not really made his market in the NFL now 53 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: in his third year, but with AJ Green out and 54 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: Green went out with what an ankle of toy lam 55 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: miss and his ankle and trade camp first day of 56 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: training camp, John Ross has become the man and he's 57 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: had two good games. He's a guy you gotta account for. 58 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: I would think, yeah, and there you know, new head coach, Um, 59 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, it's uh, it's not a game yet. 60 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: You know it's the NFL, so we all know it. 61 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: But you know it's easy. Like I said, it's easy 62 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: to get excited about a game like this home opener, 63 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: all the stuff. Then Poncho b is gonna be you know, 64 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: they're doing a thing for him. Pre game, they got 65 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: the weather's gonna be spectacular. Yeah, I mean, it's gonna 66 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: be a fun day. And the game. The teams started 67 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: off on strong and one two road games. I mean 68 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: there's everything, you know, everything says you're gonna be doing 69 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: cartwheels in the parking lot, right, So so come down, right, 70 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: So let's just pump the brakes.

We want to 147 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: get you involved in our Twitter poll. I liked this question. 148 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: I came up with it. I like this question because 149 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: it forces you to take a look at what's going 150 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: on with this Bill's start to the season. Only the 151 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: start of the season, only two games. I don't know 152 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: from you, though, I want you to think deep into 153 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: who's been the who's been the unexpected contributor to Buffalo's 154 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: first couple of wins? Here, who's been the bills unsung 155 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: hero through the first two weeks? You got anybody in mind? Look, 156 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: we know Josh has played well, he's played. He was 157 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: really side of this past Sunday, Josh Allen. We know 158 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: that motor Devin Singletary, who obviously is day to day. 159 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: According to Sean McDermott, he has had great moments. Only 160 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: ten carries, but they seem like every one of them 161 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: has been significant. Frank Gore established his role on this team, 162 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: I think, and put it in. You know, he made 163 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: sure that we knew he was on the team. Frank 164 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: Gore did this past Sunday. The receivers Brown Beasley especially 165 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: have been great. Defense, I mean, the round up, the 166 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: usual suspects right, Hide and Poyer are good, Tredavious White 167 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: is good.

Call us up eight 195 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: h three h five fifteen lines open right now, send 196 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: it a tweet.

Look, 198 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: I want to cast a vover in one of those guys, 199 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: but sure, if you make me nail it down to one. 200 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: I think I'd have to go with Trent Murphy. I 201 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: really really why because he's made big plays now this 202 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: past week. The interception was critical and Leslie Frazier and 203 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: I think Jean McDermot talked about after that sixty yard 204 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: punt return, they were set up the Jets. The Giants 205 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: were rather to get some points on the board and 206 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: to kind of just get something going before the end 207 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: of the half and then look, you say what you want. 208 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: C J. Mosley gets credit for his interception in pick 209 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: six and week one, Trent Murphy gets credit for that 210 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: one passed tipped around and fell to him and he 211 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: got it. That was a huge play. But beyond that, 212 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: he's been solid setting the edge, providing consistent pass rush 213 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: pressure on a really good defense. Can't lose sight of 214 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: that fact. Bill's only scored seventeen in Week one. They 215 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: came up with twenty seven this past week. The offense 216 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: has been good and the offensive line I get the 217 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: Mitch Moore's votes. The offensive line has been surprisingly good 218 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: to me. But Trent Murphy to me, has been the 219 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: unsung hero. Nobody really talks about him, and I think 220 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: he's done a great chapter the first two weeks. We're 221 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: only talking two weeks here, Yeah, what about with you? 222 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: I agree he has played well. He's been better, and 223 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: I think we saw it in training camp. He's just 224 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: a different player than he was a year ago, so 225 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: close after coming off a catastrophic knee injury two years ago. 226 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: But I think for me, I think it's a I 227 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: think it's Mitch Morse. I'm gonna go with the majority 228 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: on this one because because of the unknown factor of 229 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: him coming in after going through the concussion protocol the 230 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: entire preseason, all four games of the preseason, what we've 231 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: seen from him, what we've seen him do on the 232 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: edge of all the runs in New York, and his 233 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: ability to get out front of these guys as the 234 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: big guy, you know, the six five three twenty pounder 235 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: who's out there laying uh, laying the edge defenders down 236 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: so the running baskings score touchdowns. I think he's been 237 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: the big difference maker. Plus, I think the cohesion that 238 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: has happened on the offensive line is in large part 239 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: due to his communication, his communication skills up front. So 240 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: I would go with which with Mitch Morris on this one. 241 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: It's a good bunch of guys, and it's a good 242 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: problem to have who's the young sung hero because there 243 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: are so many guys who have contribute. I think this 244 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: for on our bills fans and I don't have a problem. 245 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: You're doing this. Who's your favorite player who's done something 246 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: that hasn't been mentioned, that's kind of an unsung here. 247 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: That's it. Who's your guy? Come up with the person, 248 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: the player that you've always liked and maybe has done 249 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: something that you've seen during these first two weeks of 250 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: the season and hasn't gotten any credit for it. You know, 251 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: give him some love, give us a call shout out 252 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: on to us on Twitter. That interception by Trent Murphy 253 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,359 Speaker 1: my pick for the unsung Hero, his first career interception. 254 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: But he's had fumble recoveries in the last two games 255 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: he has. And now Trent Murphy has takeaways in three 256 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: straight consecutive games going back to the Miami win last year, 257 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: at the longest streak by the Bill's defensive lineman since 258 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: and the note says at least nineteen eighty eight. Yeah, well, 259 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: you think about it. And he had the interception or 260 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: the the fumble recovery last week on the very last 261 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: play of the game. Remember you forget about that because 262 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: it was kind of a meaningless play. But he gets 263 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: credit for it, you know, It's it still counts. Like 264 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: but there's yeah, Tuesday, a lot of stuff going on. 265 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be a fun show. And we had 266 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: there's stuff happening now today a lot and we're gonna 267 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: get into someone want to get into someone kind of 268 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: chumping in the bed. So listen to this. This little 269 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: story came across. The Bills play the Jets, and then 270 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: and Monday there's starting quarterback is out for the foreseeable future. 271 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: They play the Giants and their quarterback Eli Manning, he's 272 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: out for the foreseeable future. He gets benched. Well, Andy 273 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: Dalton's in next. Is he gonna get he thought? Has 274 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: probably crossed his mind, right, Ni Manning bench today. The 275 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: Giants announcing this morning they're going to elevate Daniel Jones, 276 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: their first round pick, takeover starting Sunday on the road 277 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay. Pat Schermer, the coach of the Giants, said, Eli, 278 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: Eli and I spoke this morning. I told him we're 279 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: making a change. Daniel Jones, sixth overall out of Duke 280 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: at a good summer, completed eighty five percent of passes 281 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: in the preseason. Eli Manning has made a franchise record 282 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty two consecutive starts since he replaced 283 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner in November two thousand and four. Eli's rookie 284 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: season two time Super Bowl MVP. He's thirty eight years 285 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: old and if anyone tries to tell me that Eli 286 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: Manning has been the problem in the Giants Zoe and 287 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: two start, I will tell you you are crazy. Their 288 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: defense is non existent. Manning hasn't been great, He's been okay, though. 289 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: A lot of quarterbacks playing right now play the lot 290 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: worse than Eli Manning has, including in the Bills game 291 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: this past Week's right, I agree. I certainly they've got 292 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: their own level of expectations, and the way their fans 293 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: handled their team, that's fine. They can do anything want. 294 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: I would caution against thinking that Daniel Jones is going 295 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: to come in and play in the regular season of 296 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: an NFL game the exact same way he did in 297 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: the preseason. He was very good in the preseason, no 298 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: question about it. But if you think he's gonna come 299 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: in and play that well right out of the gate 300 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: for the same Giants team that Eli Manning did, I 301 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: think you're mistaken. There's a lot of teams that are 302 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: today are having to deal with that. The Jets being 303 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: another one. Trevor Simeon the backup to Sam Darnel who's 304 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: out with Mono out. You know now they've got Luke 305 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: falk in the third string quarterback. The New Orleans Saints 306 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: now have Teddy Bridgewater coming and he hasn't played in 307 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: three years. He's taking like twenty five snaps in that time. 308 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: This Pittsburgh Steelers now have Mason Rude getting ready to 309 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: take snaps for them. And there's still people in Pittsburgh 310 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: who are hopeful that Mason Rudolph is going to be 311 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: better and the offense will somehow change into something different 312 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: than it was with Ben Roethlisberger. You can hope at 313 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: all you want, but I'll tell you what, it's hard 314 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: to prove that stuff true in the NFL. And even 315 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: if the team rallies around these guys, there's a lot 316 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: of teams out there whose expectations have dropped and raised. 317 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: In fact, we were going to have that as as 318 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: one of our Twitter poll. We were thinking about has 319 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: that What has this two and o start done to 320 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: your expectations for the Bills Because now they're sitting there, 321 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: they got well, they got motors, got a little bit 322 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: of a hamstring. But we're getting Andre Roberts back maybe 323 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: this week. I'm thinking maybe he's gonna get back on 324 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: the field. If not, he's gonna be closed. We're looking 325 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: the Bills look great on the injury front. But you 326 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: got these other teams, two franchise quarterbacks going down on 327 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: one weekend. It doesn't happen very all. It might be 328 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: a third team. And this is just happening now. The 329 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay or the Carolina Panthers on the practice field 330 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: and quarterback Cam Newton not on the practice field. And 331 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: Marty Herney, the Panthers general manager, told the media that 332 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: after last Thursday's lost to Tampa Bay, Newton complained that 333 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: he had to them that he had aggravated his foot injury. 334 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: And he won twenty five to fifty one for three 335 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: hundred thirty yards passing against the Bucks, sack three times. 336 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: Head coach Ron Riveria will talk to the media at 337 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: two thirty. It looks like a foot injury. No timetable 338 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: for Cam Newton's return is the word from Carolina. There's 339 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: one other Cam Newton, notes our buddy Steve Palazzolo from 340 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, and they do all the analytics. The 341 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: highest percentage of uncatchable passes through the first two weeks 342 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: of the season, Cam Newton thirty four percent of his 343 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: passes were uncatchable. It's not what you want, Mitchell Trubisky, 344 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick Kirk Cousins also on that list. Buffalo's guy 345 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: not among the first six, but Cam Newton's thirty four 346 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: percent uncatchable passes through two weeks and now he is 347 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: out indefinitely. I guess no timetable for his return after 348 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: aggravating his foot injury last Thursday night. So there's another one. 349 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: It's we're seeing it's a different sort of start to 350 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: the season with some big name quarterbacks. Right, Newton breezes 351 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: out the Roethlisberg. Roethlisberger's out, the Giants bench, Eli Manning, 352 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold is out. It's it's a different sort of 353 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: start to the season. And it does this too, And 354 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: there was a question made yesterday. It makes you think, well, 355 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: who's our backup? Right, when you see what's going on, 356 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: who's our backup? Who do we got? Bill's got to 357 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: feel pretty good. They have Matt Barkley, right, former high 358 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: draft pick what was he a fourth rounder? Bounced around 359 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: the league a little bit, seems comfortable, happy, But he's 360 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: been here a while, he's acclimated. Not a full year 361 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: yet though, no, but he's been through here most of 362 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: a season and he's got the off season in that offense, 363 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: you know, so you think when he goes in, he's 364 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: gonna be able to call, to play and do all that. Yeah, 365 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: Bill's got to feel good about it. So some of 366 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: these teams, too, were making huge adjustments. The Pittsburgh Steelers 367 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: traded for Miami Dolphins Minca Fitzpatrick. They gave up this 368 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: coming year's number one pick, the Steelers number one pick 369 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: that's after Ben Roethlisberger's injury, whereas if they lose more 370 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: games they're going to get a higher draft pick. They 371 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: gave that to the Miami Dolphins for Minka Fitzpatrick and 372 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: Minca Fitzpatrick is one of those guys who has was 373 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: reported as being going after that Week one loss that 374 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: they looked so poor in as saying, listen, get me 375 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: out of here. That's a big topic around the National 376 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: Football League now too, as these great players. If you're 377 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: not winning, I'm out. Yeah. We'll talk about that, and 378 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: we'll talk and the thing about the Fitzpatrick training. We'll 379 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: talk with Arthur Moats about this bottom of the hour. 380 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: Does that mean that the Steelers think that they won't 381 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: need a first rounder next spring to go out and 382 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: get a quarterback that Ben Roethlisberger would be back. We'll 383 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: ask that question of Arthur Moats on the Matt Barkley thing. 384 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: And this came up yesterday. Sean McDermot talked to the 385 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: media yesterday was asked about, Hey, you must feel pretty good, 386 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: right you your backup quarterback that played really well in 387 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: training camp in preseason and mcdermot's answer was said, he 388 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: got a pretty good amount of playing time I'm in 389 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: training camp and the reps in practice and also in 390 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: the preseason there which was intentional. And he goes on 391 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: to say, McDermot talking about Mann Barkley, we thought collectively 392 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: he handled himself extremely well. Here's the part that I 393 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: liked when I heard McDermot say this yesterday. Mc Barkley 394 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: is a great young man with a great smile and 395 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: a great joy about him. Brings a great energy to 396 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: our football team. He does. You know him, He's he's 397 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: he's mister happy. He always is. I think he's exactly 398 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: what you need, you know. Josh Allen is the starter 399 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: and the unquestioned starter, and he's likely to go, especially 400 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: at a young age, maybe some ups and downs. And 401 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: there's Matt Barkley. A Shawn says with a smile on 402 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: his face and a pat on the back, ready to 403 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 1: play if you need him. I think the Bills. When 404 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: you look around the league and all the backup quarterbacks 405 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: who will start this week, you gotta think yourself, we're 406 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: okay if something happens, right, Okay, that great? Yeah okay, 407 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: Because let's face it, you want your backup quarterback to 408 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: be able to play. But what you're thinking is, and 409 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: we alluded to this last year when they had Derek 410 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: Anderson and Matt Barkley and they finally got that group 411 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: the way they wanted it, and how good that room is. 412 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: The reason you want that room to be good is 413 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: because it helps Josh Allen be a better quarterback every 414 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: week and get better every week. Matt Barkley's his job 415 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: description is exactly that help Josh win, and Barkeley's has 416 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: been a real asset in that to this point. They 417 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: like the chemistry he brings. Certainly he showed some things 418 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: in the preseason and his first game last year against 419 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: the Jets he won it on the road. He brings 420 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: that to the table. Plus his experience now in this 421 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: offense after having been in it for almost a calendar year. 422 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: This you know that's what you want in a quarterback. 423 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: But that's why you want to back up quarterback. The 424 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: New York Jets didn't want Trevor Simeon to play this year. 425 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: They wanted him to back up Matt darn Or Sam 426 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 1: Darnald and help him play well. Now Darnald's sick, Simeon 427 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: and snaps his tibia. I don't know if that's exactly 428 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: the injury. He gotta eats out. It looked like he 429 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: broke it in the play last week, but Trevor simmeons out. 430 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: Now they've got Luke falk in there. I mean, you 431 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: don't want the backup to play. You want him to 432 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: be a guy like Barkley who gets the starter ready. 433 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: That's what the quarterback coach does. The quarterback coach isn't 434 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. He doesn't call plays. He's there to 435 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: get the quarterback ready to play along with the backup 436 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: quarterback and the offensive coordinator. That's what they do. And 437 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: that's what Barkley does. And that's why you know, that's 438 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: stuff you see about Barkley's personality and what he is. 439 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: He's a helper, you know. Now you've got a guy 440 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: who's a future Hall of Famer in New York in 441 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: Eli Manning, Now he's got to help get Daniel Jones 442 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: ready to play. How's that gonna go? You know? And 443 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: I know Eli, Eli's a tremendous human being. He'll do 444 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: what he can, but I don't know if that's his strength. Right, 445 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: You gotta win by hitting on all cylinders with fifty 446 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: three guys on your roster. And that includes guys like 447 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley and Trevor Simeon and Luke Falk and all 448 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: these guys Mason Rudolph in Pittsburgh and Teddy Bridgewall are 449 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: in New Orleans's. It is fifty three guys. It's not 450 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: just the quarterback. It's fifty three guys. And these these 451 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: teams now are trading guys. Man man I just what 452 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: you've been doing for eight months. You're right, Hey, who's 453 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: the unsung here? Two weeks into the bill season? There two? 454 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: And oh, who's the unsung here? In the first couple 455 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: of weeks? Let us know what you think in the 456 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: Twitter poll. We'll read some tweets in a moment, but 457 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: let's start with a couple of phone calls. We'll go 458 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: to Chuck in East Aura. Hello, Chuck, welcome to the show. 459 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: You're on the air with us. Hey, Murphy, Steve, thanks 460 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: to taking my call. You bet Um. You know, I 461 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: get it with Mitch Morrison and I get it with 462 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: Trent Murphy. They're both doing a great job. I haven't 463 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: seen a center for the Bills pull the way Um 464 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: he's pulling since Ken holl Right. But my my unsung 465 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: hero was run Neil he Um good one, it's good. 466 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: It upened Um. He's taking that nickel corner position over 467 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: and and I'm the one kickoff return after we scored Um, 468 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: he really shut the door. And then when we were 469 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: swinging the momentum where we sort of reminded me of 470 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: number eighty nine from the years ago. So I'll hang 471 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: up and listen to He's Chuck. Yeah. You know, we 472 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: talked a little bit about Sir and Neil yesterday. It's 473 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: a good point. The Bills had sort of a complicated 474 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: three way approach to replacing Terry Johnson at the nickel 475 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: corner this past week. Sir and Neil had a huge 476 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: role to play in that. Dean Marlow did as well, 477 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: and Kevin Johnson got some snaps there as well, and 478 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: he did it and they executed it really well and 479 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: there was never an issue with who's up now, who's 480 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: on the field now. They knew who to get out 481 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 1: there and what their assignments were. And you're right, sir, 482 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: and Neil made a great tackle on was it a 483 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: kick coverage? Your kickcoff? Yeah, yeah, he made a great 484 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: tackle inside the twenty Really good candidate for unsung hero. 485 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: That's a great call. Yeah, you're right, he's because his 486 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: role has changed from week one to week two. It 487 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: has expanded and he still does the great job on 488 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: special teams and that's that's hard to do tackle him 489 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: inside the fifteen yard line. It was a great tackle 490 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: on kickoff and sirran Neil did it a couple of times. 491 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: He is also the guy on the sixty one yard 492 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: punt return who was the back end guy who finally 493 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: made the stop stopped it from going for a touchdown, 494 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: which of course ended up they never got a touchdown 495 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: and they never got any points on it. And every 496 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: little thing helps and sirrand Neil is responsible for that. 497 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, it was um it was a really that's 498 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: a great call, sirrand Neil. It really had a great 499 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: game against the Giants, and and uh uh yeah, so 500 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: I think he deserves to be on that list and 501 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: he deserves to have a call in about him. Well, 502 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: there's another one about him. R J and mcdina, go ahead, 503 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: our j're on the air. Yeah, I think I'm along 504 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: with Chuck. I think he's been a phenomenal special teams 505 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: just like you said, it reminds me a little bit 506 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: of number eighty nine. What's that eighty nine guy? What 507 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: was his deal? Yeah? Oh yeah, you know how mister 508 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: mister I wish you'd get in the Hall of Fame guy. Yeah, 509 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: r J, you're right. And you know, we didn't think 510 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: about it. And we were laughing too, because the three 511 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: choices we gave you were Murphy Milano and uh, Mitch Morris. 512 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: So we figured the next one we'd have to do 513 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: would be Isaiah McKenzie start with an M as well, 514 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: So when we just went down to the alphabet. But yeah, 515 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: that's great, And I hadn't thought about that until somebody 516 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: brought him up. And that's that game he had in 517 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: New York, the second New York game actually the Giant 518 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: game was was really good and he deserves a lot 519 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: of credit for the for the job he did. Sirrand Neil, 520 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: another candidate for the Bill's unsung hero through the first 521 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: two weeks. Let's go to Connor in Rochester. Is that 522 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: the right name? Right? Had that right? Connor? Yeah? You 523 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: got all right? Great? What do you think? So? I 524 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: think Shack Lawson has been the unsung hero of our defense. 525 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: He has just been so consistently getting pressure in the quarterback. 526 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: I feel like he's kind of thinking over Jerry Hughes 527 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: as the guy who's been getting all the pressures this 528 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: season so far. Well, I don't know about the second part. 529 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: I agree with the Shack Lawson has played a really 530 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: strong role. Look, Hughes, I was was. I watched the 531 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: game over the Giants game, and something I can't notice 532 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: when I'm doing play by play, Hughes, Jerry Hugh saw 533 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: consistent double teams from the Giants last Sunday. I mean 534 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: over and over and over again. He was getting double team. 535 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Didn't produce the kind of numbers he had the week 536 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: before against the Jets, But I think he's played well. 537 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, Shack Lawson, you know, part of their rotation 538 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: on the defensive line. He's he's had a role to 539 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: play and done it. Well, Steve, Yeah, he has and 540 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: he's and I think that's the thing. The thing that 541 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: you said, Connor, the one word that that has been 542 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: missing from some of the younger guys on the team 543 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: is consistency. You're right, he has played consistently well, uh 544 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: both games this season, and he did it. I think 545 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: of a lot better at it last year as well, 546 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: So I agree there. I don't know that he's played 547 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: as well as maybe Mitch Morris has offensively or some 548 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: of the other choices we've heard. But there's nothing there's 549 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: there's not too many guys so you can point out 550 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: and said, wow, he has not played well on this team. 551 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: There two and oh h and there they seem to 552 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: be improving from one week one to week two. So um, 553 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: but yeah, Shack's on. I like where Shack is. I'd 554 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: like to see him get some some more sacks. Uh. 555 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 1: Did he get one last against the Jets? He did? 556 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: Didn't he? I think they got four? They got one 557 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: of the four, right, so yeah, they I'd like to 558 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: see him get back to that again this week three. 559 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: They didn't get any sacks against Eli Manning, did they 560 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: or did they get one a half or one? Didn't 561 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: get any Yeah, that's got a change. So we'll see 562 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: tweet sheet answering our question who's been the unsung hero 563 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: in the first two weeks of the season. The tweet 564 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: sheet brought here by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers 565 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. We'll go ahead, see you get 566 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: us started, all right from Donald, He says, Matt Milano 567 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: for sure, back to back weeks against stud running backs, 568 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: and for the most party has more than held his 569 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: own yeat that the running backs they faced, Levion Bell 570 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: and sae Quon Barkley, or two the best in the league. 571 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: And although Barkley got a hundred yards on the day 572 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: one hundred and five against the Bills, fifty five of 573 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: it came on that opening drive and then they closed 574 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: him down the rest of the day. And Milano and 575 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: by the way I just looked it up, check did 576 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: not have a sacker against the Jets. Milano, however, had 577 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: an open field tackle against sae Quon Barkley the other day. 578 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: When I thought, you know, as I watched it, the 579 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: thought of Curzia, well, oh this might not go well. 580 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: And as I watched the game over on tape yesterday morning, 581 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: I thought that one great and Milana was right there 582 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: and that phades it all. By having the great se 583 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley one on one in open space, he just 584 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: brought him down almost routine. It was really good play. 585 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: That has been key as well. I think his ability 586 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: to tackle some guys in open spaces really set sets 587 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: Milano apart and m He's made a couple of big 588 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: hits as well, which which have been great. We've got 589 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: another one from the tweet sheet from Daryl f twenty nine. 590 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm leaning to Mitch Morris. He's been the best offensive 591 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: lineman through the first two games. It's surprising to see 592 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: his overall athleticism when he pulls and gets on the 593 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: outside on running plays, and so far we see why 594 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: he's the highest paid center in the in the league. Yeah, 595 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: and I think that's true. Morse has been I don't 596 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,239 Speaker 1: know surprisingly, but I guess all offensive linemen are kind 597 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: of unsung because you don't really say him, but because 598 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: we didn't see him at all in the previous No, 599 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: but he has been as advertised. I'll say that he's 600 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: been as advertised. He's playing as well as any center 601 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: in the league. I would wager. I'm seeing all the 602 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: guys in the league play, but man Oman is he 603 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: he'd done it for the Bills on his his snaps. 604 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: We'll turn We'll keep this discussion going throughout the afternoon, 605 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: the unsung hero through a couple of games for the Bills, 606 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: and we'll take your calls, read your tweets, talk about 607 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: it with You're gonna turn our attention to the Pittsburgh 608 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: Steelers who are in the news this week, the Roethlisberger injury, 609 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: the trade for Minka Fitzpatrick, and we will talk with 610 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: our buddy Arthur Moates, former Bills linebacker, former Steelers linebacker, 611 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: now radio host in Pittsburgh.

And besides, man, the 654 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: Bills are playing lights out right now, so I definitely 655 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: want to be an attendance for that. That's right. Yeah, 656 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: One of the reasons we want to have you on 657 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: is because things aren't so lights out in Pittsburgh. Ben 658 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: Rothsburgy was that with an elbow? Mason Rudolph's up and 659 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: then you make a big trade for Manca Fitzpatrick. What 660 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: how does all this affect the outlook for the Steelers, man, 661 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: I think obviously losing Ben franchise quarterback definitely has a 662 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: negative effect. But the guys here are rallying around Mason. 663 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: They have a ton of confidence in them, and I 664 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: think from an organizational standpoint, when you see Kevin Colbert 665 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: the GM go out and make that trade for Menca Fitzpatrick, 666 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: he feels that they still have enough talent compete this year. 667 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: Now we've been going down, I still don't think that 668 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: Mason is the end all be all. I think that 669 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: this team still has some other things they need to 670 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: address in terms of a second receiver and some things 671 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the wall they need to 672 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: show up. But ultimately, man, I think they still are 673 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: very optimistic. They're very optimistic here in terms of their 674 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: hopes for the rest of the season. Former Bills and 675 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats, now radio host in Pittsburgh on 676 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: the line with us talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers, primarily 677 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: here today. Arthur, Let's break down to some of what 678 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: you said. First of all, Roethlisberger age thirty eight, right, 679 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: does he come back from this injury, this elbow injury? 680 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: What do you think I mean, does his career over. Yeah, 681 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: so a lot of us initially thought that he wanted 682 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: to be coming back just because of him having to 683 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: have a season ending surgery at this stage of his career, 684 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: but he released a statement and through his social media 685 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: that said he still has two years remaining on his 686 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: contract extension and he plans to fulfill them. So I 687 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: really think it's going to come down to how his 688 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: rehab goes and ultimate how he's feeling once he's completely healthy. 689 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: If he feels that he still has enough in the 690 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: tank to be productive, I think we will see him again. 691 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: But if he feels that he doesn't have it anymore, 692 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: I think I could definitely understand him retiring. Elbows are 693 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: tough for quarterbacks and this kind of got my attention too. 694 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: I saw something this morning where Mason Rudolph said he 695 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: heard he heard from Roethlischrger about his elbow issues a 696 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: week ago. So it wasn't just one throw that made 697 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: this go bad, right, It's been something lingering? Uh? Yeah, correct. 698 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: Apparently he was dealing with some inflammation in his elbow 699 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: throughout the past week. And you know, Ben, he's a 700 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: tough guy. He plays through a ton of injuries and 701 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: things like that, but sometimes these soft tissue or not 702 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: even a soft tissues, sometimes these non contact injuries can 703 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: be the ones that really put you down. And I 704 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: think back also to Terry Brashaw on how he had 705 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: a similar thing going and ultimately was the end for 706 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: his career as well. What is the status of Ben's contract? 707 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: Didn't he just get extended? I mean, aren't they kind 708 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: of a little bit tied to him over the next year, 709 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: this year year, and certainly maybe even next year in 710 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: the year after well, I mean, how's that play out? 711 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: And what kind of wrenching the works is that? So 712 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: from a contractual standpoint, he did signed a three year 713 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: extension this all season. The big date comes into play 714 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: next after the season, where the new league he is 715 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: about to begin, they will be on the hook for 716 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: I think it's twenty three million dollars if they decide 717 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: to pick that up. So they will have a decision 718 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: to make depending on how healthy he is, and I 719 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: think also depending on how well Mason plays, because if 720 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: Mason comes out and lights it up, well, now, if 721 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: you're Kevin Colbert, are you ready to make that transition 722 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: to Mason being the guy for the future, or do 723 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: you feel that Biston has enough and they take that 724 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: you're willing to pick up that next year and go 725 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: ahead and get you on with him. Arthur Motar guests 726 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: he's a radio host in Pittsburgh these days. Are he's 727 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: talking about Mason Rudolph now who takes over third round 728 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: pick a year ago from Oklahoma State. He was inactive 729 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: all sixteen games last year, right, and to play this 730 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: will be his first regular season game, first regular season No, well, 731 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: he played a little bit last week to finish played 732 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: last week. Yes, yeah, but he hasn't He's never started 733 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: in an NFL game, right, correct. Yeah, so last year 734 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: he was the third quarterback behind Josh Dobbs as well, 735 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: and they competed this preseason. He won the preseason backup 736 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: quarterback job pretty handedly. And yeah, he's never had the 737 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: opportunity to start in the NFL. This past game verse 738 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: Seattle was the most action that he's seen in terms 739 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: of NFL gameplay, and I thought he did come in 740 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: and do some really impressive beings. He looked comfortable in 741 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: the offense. But at the same time, people had to 742 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: realize that that Seahawks defense wasn't game planning for Mason. 743 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: They were game planning for Ben, whereas Mason was already 744 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: game planning for that Seahawks defense, preparing as the backup. 745 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: So the situation did favor him in that particular instance. 746 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see what he looks like 747 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: this weekend in San Francisco, where they're gonna have a 748 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: full week to plan for him, where they're gonna prepare 749 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,959 Speaker 1: to see what his strengths and weaknesses are in different 750 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: ways to attack him. What are his strength I mean, 751 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: what was the book on him coming out of Oklahoma State? Man? Extreme, 752 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: only accurate, can make all the throws, doesn't have the 753 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: biggest arm in terms of do you think of Josh 754 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: Allen who has a cannon, But in terms of his 755 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: decision making, he's elite with that. Also, he's very similar 756 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: in the mold have been being a bigger body quarterback 757 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: and being able to have some elusive trying to be 758 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: elusive and stuff like that as well. Arthur tell us 759 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: about the first two games owing two Pittsburgh Steelers and 760 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: their offensive issues, It's easy to look at and say, well, 761 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: of Courts, they don't have Leveon Bell, they don't have 762 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, right, but was there more to it than that. 763 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: As far as the struggles with the Pittsburgh offense in 764 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: weeks one and two, absolutely, the two things they stuck 765 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: out the most from an offensive standpoint is number one, 766 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: the lack of a running game. They haven't been able 767 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: to sustain any type of success on the ground with 768 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: James Conner, who was the Pro Bowl running back for 769 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: this team last year when Leveon Bell set out. And 770 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: then the second thing is they don't haven't had a 771 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: suitable number two receiver right now. Yeah, I think Juju 772 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: Smith Shust was the number two receiver last year and 773 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: he was paired up with Antonio Brown, so they were 774 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: a dominant receiving group, whereas now Jujus receiving all the 775 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: attention and Dante Moncrief has been playing up to part 776 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: and James Washington he's had some success, he's flashed, but 777 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: we haven't seen anything from a long term standpoint yet. 778 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,479 Speaker 1: So those are the big issues right now with this team. 779 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: But I do think going forward, James Washington will start 780 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: to play a lot better due to the fact that 781 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: he's paired up with his quarterback from college and Mason Rudolph. Yeah, 782 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: let's talk about that. How is this offense gonna change 783 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 1: with Mason Rudolph taking the snaps instead of been Roethlisberger. 784 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: Certainly it will evolve in some way, right, Yeah, I 785 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 1: definitely think it will change. But from the schematic standpoint, 786 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: the changes I see is them having more focus on 787 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: the run game. They talked about wanting to be a 788 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: more balanced offense this all season, but they haven't really 789 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: done that these first two games. So when you implement 790 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 1: a young quarterback who's going to go into his first start, 791 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: hostile environment on the road, you definitely want to make 792 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: it a more assertive effort to run the ball and 793 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: commit to that. So that's what I see from the 794 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: biggest standpoint, But from the passing scheme and the routs 795 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, I don't really see a big change. 796 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: Just because Mason was a similar style quarterback, too big, 797 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: and that's why they brought him in. That's the day 798 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: that they liked about him. Whereas with Josh Dobbs, who 799 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 1: they traded for a fifth round pick to the Jacksonville 800 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: Jaguars earlier this season, he was more of the mobile quarterback, 801 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: like to use his legs, and I could have saw 802 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: them having to make drastic tweaks to the offense that 803 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: he was going to be the guy. Talking with Arthur Moatsfarmer, 804 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: Steelers and Bills linebacker now radio hosted in Pittsburgh. All right, 805 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: let's talk about MACKA. Fitzpatrick for a second here, but 806 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 1: I want to talk about him as a player. But 807 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: I said this to my buddy Steve here today Arthur 808 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: this morning. The fact that Pittsburgh traded away next year's 809 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: first rounder, does that indicate that they expect that Roethlisberger 810 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: is back, they won't need that for a quarterback this 811 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: next draft. I do think that's what they're believing right now, 812 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: and I think that it shows that they have a 813 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: ton of confidence in Mason Rudolph going forward. Because this 814 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: the Minca Fitzpatrick trade, it addresses the need that they 815 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: have right now in terms of safety Sean Davis being 816 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: put on injury reserve, So you're losing a starter, but 817 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: you're bringing in Minka who was the eleventh overall pick, 818 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: so that helps them out of ton. Then the second 819 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: aspect of that is, if you're the Steelers, do you 820 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: believe that you'll be picking in the top ten after 821 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: this season? If you feel that you would be or 822 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 1: you would have a top five pick, well, then okay, 823 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: maybe don't make the trade. But if you feel that 824 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna be picking in fifteen twenty pick range, well, 825 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: this is a great player that you're getting for that pick. 826 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: So it's really going to be how this season goes 827 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: and what draft position they have in terms of how 828 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 1: you rate this trade as a winner or loss. Yeah, 829 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: last year you're talking about whether it's a winner loss. 830 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: It kind of depends on how the Steelers play the 831 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: rest of the way with a Mason Rudolph a quarterback. Right, Absolutely, 832 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: they and you're right they threw the Ben Roethlisberger led 833 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: the league and yardage throwing last year, but he did 834 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: it by throwing way more than anybody else in the 835 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: National Football Are You threw it ninety more times than 836 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes did, so, I mean they really do need 837 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: to get back to the running game, don't they. Absolutely, 838 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: this team is its best when they have a valuable 839 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: threat at running back, when they have a player they 840 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: can go out there, ground it, pound it. And even 841 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: in what you saw with lay now where even if 842 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: you weren't handing him the ball up, you were still 843 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: getting him the ball early in the flats on passing roles. 844 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 1: They're a little checkdown rals. So just that teams can't 845 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: just play with, you know, all these different dbs out there. 846 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: They have to respect the running game, and right now 847 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 1: they're not respecting the running game, and that's why they've 848 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: been struggling these first two weeks from an offensive standpoint, Arthur, 849 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: the last thing I have for you, You know this Pittsburgh. 850 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: You know whether or not this Pittsburgh Steelers team has 851 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: been consistently excellent over many years in the Roethlisberger, Mike 852 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: tom Lineiro things have changed now and I just can't 853 00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: help but thinking we're gonna find out a lot about 854 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: Mike tom the rest of the season, the fourteen games 855 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: that remained. Do you agree? Yeah, absolutely. That's been one 856 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: of the big things that people have talked about in 857 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: terms of Mike Tomlin's coaching ability. Is he an elite 858 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 1: coach or is it more a product of him having 859 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback his whole tenure here, accompanied by having 860 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: what a defense that was ranked one and two for 861 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: how many amount of years under Dick Lebau with him 862 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: as well. So this is going to be an opportunity 863 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: for him to really showcase his coaching ability at this 864 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: level without having that franchise quarterback. And I think that 865 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: he definitely has a good group of players there, and 866 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be the guy to get 867 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: these guys motivated and rally and rally around the situation. 868 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: But it's definitely going to be a test for him 869 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: and he's going to be evaluated strongly off of this art. 870 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: Thanks yeah, man, I appreciate you guys.

They had 890 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: a ninety eight yard or the other day. Pretty amazing 891 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: New York State Lottery inside the numbers can break from 892 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: the expected play scratch off games from the New York Lottery. 893 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: John Murphy Steve Tasker talking about the Bills, and we 894 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: want to know from you your unsung hero through the 895 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,800 Speaker 1: first two weeks this year. It's a Twitter poll and 896 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: on Twitter seven hundred thirty votes in so far, almost 897 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: half of you say it is Mitch Morse who is 898 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: the unsung hero through the first two games so well, 899 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: more than half of you fifty six percent, eighteen percent 900 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: say Trent Murphy, seventeen percent say Matt Milano, other nine percent. 901 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: Let's hear from you let's hear what you think. Eight 902 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: h three oh five fifty toll free one eight eight 903 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,479 Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty A call from Paul 904 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: and Ken Moore. Go ahead, Paul, you're on the air 905 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: with this. Hey, guys, I just wanted to say I 906 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: think Brian Gable was my unsung hero. I think the 907 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: game plans for both games were near perfect. It wasn't 908 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: for the turnovers in the Jets game. I don't mean, 909 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that game is that close. And I 910 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 1: think with the new weapons he has, he's just done 911 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: a great job getting the offense to where to play 912 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: up to the opponents they're playing. It's a good point. 913 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 1: A lot of people have, you know, you usually in 914 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: seasons passing for obvious reasons. The team wasn't winning as 915 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: many games, but you always hear about, ah, they shouldn't 916 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: have called this play, they shouldn't have called that. What 917 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: are they doing here? I didn't, you know? And then 918 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator takes it on the chin. But not 919 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 1: so this first couple of weeks. I think people have 920 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: really liked the way he's been calling the games. Granted, 921 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: and we talked about this a lot on the show 922 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: last weekend a little bit yesterday. It's easier to this 923 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: is an offense. It's easier to call plays four because 924 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 1: you're not so limited. You actually have a running game 925 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 1: you can go to. You actually have a deep passing game, 926 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: an intermediate passing game, in a short passing game you 927 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: can go to. You have a quarterback that can read 928 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: the defense and knows the offense. Now you have some 929 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: guys on the outside that are gonna get that are 930 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna win. So yeah, it's it's got to be a 931 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: lot more fun for Brian Dable calling the plays this year. 932 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: And I think it goes be on calling plays too. 933 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: It's the design of the offense. You know, the way 934 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: they lined up against the Jets and put the you 935 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: know what, twenty one personnel on the field at the 936 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: start of the game against the Jets, spread them out. 937 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: Why they had a number of variations this past week 938 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,360 Speaker 1: against the Giants. It's not just play calling, it's what 939 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 1: you were you putting people, how you lining up? I 940 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: think Gabele has done a good job of that. Here 941 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: is a Bernie in Connecticut. Welcome to the show, Bernie, 942 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: unsung hero. What do you have? Hey? How you doing? John? 943 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: How are you doing. Steve's love you guys, so really 944 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: do you guys get used to me? So basically we've 945 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: got to say here in Connecticut is my unsung hero 946 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:29,839 Speaker 1: is Edmunds. Eight tackles the first game, Evan, I think 947 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,800 Speaker 1: the second game, but it's he's in the middle of everything, 948 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 1: calling everything. I just love it. I love it. I 949 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 1: love what this team is doing. I love the direction, 950 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 1: and you guys keep our head on straight. Well hopefully 951 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: if the bill fans are listening, so I appreciate what 952 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 1: you guys are doing. I'm going to hang up and 953 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: listen to what you have to say. Thanks, good call 954 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: good idea too, and Tremaine Edmunds. It's interesting, Steve. And 955 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: it's not just to this season thing. I think it 956 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 1: happened maybe two thirds of the way through last season, 957 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,879 Speaker 1: but you can see it still. He plays freer. Now 958 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 1: he flies around the field, He makes big plays, the 959 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: defensive play calling and getting people lined up. He seems 960 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: comfortable with that. He seems, you know, in total command 961 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: of what they want to do defensively. And now that 962 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: he plays freer, he makes more plays and is a 963 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,399 Speaker 1: better player. I think it's not just these last two weeks. 964 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 1: I think it began around two thirds of the way 965 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,359 Speaker 1: through last season. Yeah, and by all accounts, the guy, 966 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: the coaches, and the players around him have seen growth, 967 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: not only in and here's what it is. You're He's right, Bernie, 968 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: You're right, Thanks for the call. The thing about being 969 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: the guy in the middle linebacker, and Sean mcdermot's defense 970 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 1: or Leslie Fraser's defense, is that you know, you make 971 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: all the calls, you make the adjustments, and one of 972 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: the things also you do is you make sure the 973 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 1: guys up the front, the guys that are rushing the passer, 974 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 1: are in sync with their rush responsibilities with the coverage 975 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: responsibility of all the guys behind them. You got to 976 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: mesh those two together. And by all accounts, the players 977 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: around Tremaine Edmonds are giving him a lot of credit 978 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 1: for making sure they're all doing the exact same thing. 979 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,399 Speaker 1: You've other teams, most notably the Giants in Week one, 980 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 1: and maybe the Jets a little bit last night and 981 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: the Money Night game, and some of the other teams 982 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 1: around the league are blown coverages right and left because 983 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: they got things going on that they weren't in sync. Certainly, 984 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: you saw a huge change in the Jets defense in 985 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,439 Speaker 1: Week one when CJ. Mosley was out of that game. 986 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,840 Speaker 1: They didn't play well last night either. Without CJ. Mosley 987 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: in the game. A guy like Tremaine Edmonds makes an 988 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: enormous difference, and by all accounts, the players and the 989 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: coaches around him are giving him a lot of credit 990 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 1: for the way for the play he's put together and 991 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 1: for the way he handles all of that. Forget about 992 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: all the tackles he's making. It's helping everybody else to 993 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 1: make all the plays around him, getting him on the 994 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: same page. That is as big a responsibility for him 995 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,399 Speaker 1: as playing well. Qrick. Look at the tweet sheet brought 996 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of 997 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills from Lenwood on Twitter. Lenwood said, at 998 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: Oliver has been living in the backfield, but it's not 999 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: being talked about much. Yeah, you're right, overlooked a little bit. 1000 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 1: Chris Brown went to berserk last week about how well 1001 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: and Oliver played against the Jets, and I think he 1002 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: followed it up with another strong performance. You got one 1003 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 1: more from the Tweetchie, Yeah, I got one from Tiffany. 1004 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: Solid choices. I went off the board John Feliciano. He's 1005 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,919 Speaker 1: provided a much needed toughness to the right side that's 1006 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: been missing in the past. He's also a versatile, skilled player, 1007 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: a sneaky offseason ad his history with coach Johnson has 1008 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: shown up in these first two games, and that's you know, 1009 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 1: she's right. The one word everybody uses about John Feliciano 1010 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: is his toughness, and she's right, you need it, you 1011 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 1: gotta have it, and he's provided it. And the offensive line, 1012 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: all those guys up front, you know, they're never gonna get, 1013 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, headlines, but certainly they've been a huge difference 1014 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 1: in this year's all right, this needs to be said. 1015 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 1: One hour into the show and we're asking people to 1016 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: nominate their unsung hero. It's clear there's a ton of 1017 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 1: them on this roster. Right, everybody has somebody they think, well, 1018 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: he's not getting any credit and he's playing great. It's 1019 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,320 Speaker 1: a good sign when you're two and oh, I imagine 1020 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: that's what happens when you're two and oh, there's too 1021 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,840 Speaker 1: much credit to spread around everybody, Right, you forget about it. 1022 00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 1: Everybody deserves some You're right, everybody deserves a little for 1023 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 1: a two no start, And like I said earlier in 1024 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: the show. It's about the fifty three guys hitting on 1025 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 1: all cylinders. It's not just you know, the quarterback or 1026 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: the offensive line or the you know, the dbs playing well. 1027 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 1: It's fifty three guys and forty five on game day 1028 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 1: that are hitting on all cylinders. And I mean fifty three, 1029 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: I mean the games in this league. A lot of 1030 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: the work that goes into winning them is done between 1031 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: Monday and Saturday.

Let's get a new king, a new air, okay, 1096 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: and let's get it from a quarterback, a quarterback, and 1097 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a quarterback who's won this segment before. 1098 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,080 Speaker 1: See a big old dude for wyoming and Josh Allen 1099 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 1: said that off for me. Oh my goodness, oh, Josh Sallen, 1100 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,359 Speaker 1: this is so good. This is a bad, bad buffalo bill. 1101 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 1: It puts the lotion in the basket, or it gets 1102 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: the host again. It does this whenever it's tall. Oh 1103 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 1: oh weak, was just a big batchniff arm. Yes, it 1104 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,879 Speaker 1: was looking the Renzo Carter getting the ear hold by 1105 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,839 Speaker 1: a second year quarter Josh Sallen could slide, he could 1106 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 1: run out of bounds, he could do see dough and 1107 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 1: said he decides to throw a left cross like he's 1108 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 1: back on the Cantaloupe farm chucking around Alon. Oh for me, 1109 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: we don't. We don't mess around with corners in this segment. 1110 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 1: We don't even mess with safe. Bring him the linebackers. 1111 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,839 Speaker 1: Bring on the gas where I'm about to hit. Josh 1112 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: Sallen is supposed to be this big old long arm 1113 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham. I'm telling you this, this guy's your row bettest. 1114 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:44,840 Speaker 1: When he gets out of there, call you know what. 1115 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: I love. Watch Eli and Daniel Jones on the sideline 1116 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 1: from this angle here, Okay, I'm gonna see two other 1117 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 1: quarterbacks say, oh man, that's really good. Dam Jones is like, 1118 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 1: put me the hell on the game. You can actually hide. Yeah, 1119 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: linebacker dapped him up and hits helmet afterward, as he should. 1120 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen goes out to get Carter and I absolutely 1121 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 1: love it. But does that win? I would love the 1122 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 1: Senate to Western New York. Two and oh, by the way, 1123 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 1: two and oh Kyle Brand, Kyle, I was wrong. That's 1124 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 1: a nominee. You'll announce the winner later this week. How 1125 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: can any other Angry Run win? Though? After that presentation 1126 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 1: you gave today? Do you gotta understand I black out 1127 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 1: and know that segment. I don't know what I'm saying. 1128 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 1: I don't know where I am. I'm on a different planet. 1129 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 1: So to play that back, I'm saying I said that 1130 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: I said put the lotion in the past. Yeah, that 1131 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,919 Speaker 1: question right was at me. We can give it to Josh, 1132 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 1: but as you guys know, Josh came on the show 1133 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,439 Speaker 1: last year and accepted the Angry Runs Trophy. We can't 1134 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,040 Speaker 1: give it to him every time, even during the Jordan 1135 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,560 Speaker 1: eras sometimes you gotta give the MVP to car Malone 1136 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: or David Robinson. Josh Allen will win it again, and 1137 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: I guarantee you this. If he does that, let's say, 1138 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks against the team that plays 1139 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 1: in New England, he will get the trophy again. That's right. Well, 1140 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:58,719 Speaker 1: for the second week in a row, the team that 1141 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 1: the Bills beat lost their starting quarterback. Of course, the 1142 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,320 Speaker 1: Jets did it to an illness in Mono, but the 1143 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 1: Giants have benched Eli. A lot of people say they 1144 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 1: saw it coming, and I don't know how much of 1145 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: it has to do with the Buffalo Bills, except that 1146 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 1: they made both those quarterbacks look a little pedestrian. Yeah, 1147 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,759 Speaker 1: I mean, but I pray for Andy Dalton right now 1148 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: because that's the next man up. And I honestly, no 1149 00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 1: matter what this Bill's defense accomplishes next week, next month, 1150 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,320 Speaker 1: this year, their legacy right now, as far as i'mers, 1151 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,760 Speaker 1: they're the team that ended Eli. After years and years 1152 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 1: and Super Bowls and everything, and they did it and 1153 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 1: not a second too soon. I love Eli, we all do. 1154 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,439 Speaker 1: We respect him. It feels like a family member watching 1155 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 1: them for years. But at some point, if you you 1156 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,840 Speaker 1: just gotta say enough enough of this, it's enough of 1157 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 1: this average play in the body language and just no juice. 1158 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 1: I'm so glad they're going to Daniel Jones and I'm 1159 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: so glad they waited one more week so the Bills 1160 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: could be the last team to beat Eli. He watched 1161 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,919 Speaker 1: that game and no point did you think, Wow, Eli, 1162 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: I might pull this thing out. Elon might turn the 1163 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 1: thing around. They had a great first drive where Sequan 1164 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 1: did the heavy lifting, and then it was just milktoast 1165 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 1: like it's been for two three years. Guys, the Giants 1166 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: made a good choice. What does put the lotion in 1167 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: the basket meaning in the football? I'm still struggling with 1168 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,280 Speaker 1: that one. You know, it sounds like it's suspiciously dirty, 1169 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: but it's not. We go back to Silence of the Lambs, 1170 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,720 Speaker 1: of course, and it's all about being on the basement. 1171 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 1: It's very creepy. But it predates Josh Allen by far. 1172 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 1: I bet he would not know the reference. It would 1173 00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:30,799 Speaker 1: have to go to something. I bet Frank Gore would 1174 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,800 Speaker 1: know that reference. Kind of an older guy who appreciates 1175 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,440 Speaker 1: Sound of the Lambs. I love it. It's still early, 1176 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 1: and what does Week two show us about the Buffalo 1177 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 1: Bills in your opinion? You know, I looked at that 1178 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,640 Speaker 1: game and it was like, I don't know if you 1179 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 1: guys are into boxing. Mmmam as you are at least 1180 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,600 Speaker 1: a little. Sometimes a guy gets up on the rounds, 1181 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 1: he gets up on the cards, and he just kind 1182 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 1: of leans on him. He grabs, he leans, he knows 1183 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna win. This was the Buffalo Bills playing a 1184 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 1: much inferior opponent, hit in a few strikes early, and 1185 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 1: then the defense just held on for the rest of 1186 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 1: the way. It was like one of these wins that 1187 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: the first drive for the Giants, they got it out. 1188 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 1: Maybe they had a scripted or something. And what it 1189 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,840 Speaker 1: tells me about the Bills is they can beat a 1190 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:14,879 Speaker 1: team this lesser to them. They did not play down 1191 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,239 Speaker 1: to their competition. I don't know how great they are. 1192 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna find out in a couple of weeks. 1193 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,919 Speaker 1: But man, Josh Helen gets me excited. He really does 1194 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 1: not only look I love the running. I loved that 1195 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: touchdown where they pulled two linemen and had Frank Gore 1196 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 1: out in front of him running went in. But there 1197 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 1: was one throw in the first quarter. I think it 1198 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,359 Speaker 1: was to the tight end knocks where Alan rolled out 1199 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,280 Speaker 1: and just had this frozen rope right across the middle 1200 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 1: and I just kept saying it's all there, and we've 1201 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 1: seen us a million times now, thankfully, it's just he's running, 1202 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,439 Speaker 1: he's throwing, and he's doing it on the road. Again. 1203 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,799 Speaker 1: He hasn't even had his home opener, and he did 1204 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: it against an inferior opponent. We see it every week. 1205 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 1: Good teams lose to teams are played down to them, 1206 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 1: teams that are worse than them. I think the Browns 1207 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 1: did it last night. The Bills did not. They have 1208 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 1: them for two straight weeks, and I don't think they 1209 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 1: will this week. Cal Brander guests, I was a Good 1210 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 1: Morning Football on NFL Network. He joined us every Tuesday 1211 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 1: at this time. A lot to like about what the 1212 00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 1: Bills have done offensively in twenty eight points on the 1213 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 1: board against the Giants Sunday. But any thoughts on the 1214 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 1: Buffalo defense a couple of games into the season, Kyle, 1215 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 1: what do you think? I mean? I love it. This 1216 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 1: is what it was gonna be under McDermott, right. I mean, 1217 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 1: it's reminding me of a couple of years ago, the 1218 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor season, except I think we have a better 1219 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,880 Speaker 1: quarterback now. And look, there's this sense with the defense 1220 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 1: of all Right, So the opener against the Jets that 1221 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 1: maybe the Jets didn't have it. And frankly, looking back, 1222 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 1: now I can't say this for sure, but I'm not 1223 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 1: sure that Sam Donald was right for that game with 1224 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 1: what I ended up happening to him. He didn't look 1225 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 1: like himself. Shortly after the game he comes out. So 1226 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,439 Speaker 1: the Jets, the Giants obviously broken. When is the Bills 1227 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,960 Speaker 1: Demon's gonna get a test? When are they really gonna 1228 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: get tested? Andy Dalton's throwing the ball around some shirt, 1229 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 1: But it's the Bengals. They just got house by San Francisco. 1230 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 1: We'll see in week four. I mean, we know who 1231 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 1: we're playing Week four. We know I'm called the Bills. 1232 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 1: We now, I must have done two weeks with you guys, 1233 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,680 Speaker 1: but I'm excited about it. I really feel that way. 1234 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,959 Speaker 1: I think the Bills defense is good? Are they great? 1235 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 1: I would say the same thing about Josh down huge 1236 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 1: test in a couple of weeks. Right, Well, let's talk 1237 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: about the game last night. The Browns into New York 1238 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 1: to take on the Jets. And I don't know how 1239 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,080 Speaker 1: fast or how far the Jets can possibly fall in 1240 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 1: just two weeks, but man, here they are. It looks 1241 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 1: it gets worse as the game went on last night, 1242 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,920 Speaker 1: with Simeon now going out. It's a shame too, because 1243 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: even if you're a Bills fan and you say, oh, 1244 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: to hell with the Jets, I'm here in Manhattan. This 1245 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 1: was the most exciting offseason for the Jets in a decade. 1246 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 1: I really mean that, with all the money they spent 1247 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 1: and all the players, Levon and Mosley. Here's the facts 1248 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 1: of last night, the state of the twenty nine New 1249 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:52,600 Speaker 1: York Jets. C J. Mosley didn't play, Quinnin Williams didn't play, obviously, 1250 00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,520 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold didn't play. Levion Bells out there doing everything 1251 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,560 Speaker 1: you can. But it's a joke. I mean this. Luke 1252 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 1: Fawk had never dressed for a game before he was 1253 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,200 Speaker 1: activated eight hours before kickoff. And this is the New 1254 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 1: York Jets on Monday night football. Guys. It's really And 1255 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: there was a discussion about if Luke Funk gets hurt, 1256 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,760 Speaker 1: who's even the backup. I don't even know if they 1257 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 1: had somebody, I think it might have been Levy On. 1258 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,200 Speaker 1: Just in Wildcat again on Monday Night football. Then the 1259 00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 1: Jets are out there and they're they're stealth black uniforms, 1260 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 1: and they're fancy helmets. And I've seen seasons we all 1261 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 1: have completely bottom out and just fall apart, and oh 1262 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 1: my gosh, we just gotta get to next year. It's 1263 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,920 Speaker 1: week two, it's hits September. We didn't even even had 1264 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 1: the pumpkin spice lattes yet. No one's even going apple 1265 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,360 Speaker 1: picking yet, and the Jets season still feels like it's 1266 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 1: rotting on the vine. And I'm not Relishy, and I 1267 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 1: feel terrible about it because the Jets put in a 1268 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: lot of money and they tried new things. New coach too, 1269 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 1: running back, new everything. Guys, it seems like last night 1270 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 1: that team, that Jets team would have lost to the 1271 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 1: Dolphins this year. I really mean that it was that decrepit. 1272 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 1: I feel terrible for late Worred two from the Jets. 1273 00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 1: Just moments ago that the Adam Gates announces that Trevor 1274 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,280 Speaker 1: Simeon is out for the year, so Luke Falk may 1275 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 1: have to start. I thought one of the great sidelights 1276 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,120 Speaker 1: in last night's game was Odell Beckham versus Greg Williams, 1277 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: and there's no question about who won that battle, right. 1278 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 1: There was a great shot of Greg Williams. What I 1279 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 1: call triple G on the sideline reacting to Odell's touchdown 1280 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 1: and just what is he supposed to do again? Greg 1281 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: Williams took over a defense at the best middle linebacker 1282 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: in the game, and this great rookie Quinnon Williams, and 1283 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 1: he's out there with guy's rookie linebackers and O'Dell is 1284 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 1: running free through the stadium. I do think it's interesting 1285 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 1: with O'Dell that you know, it's this great story comes back. 1286 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 1: He makes the one headed catch, he has the long 1287 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 1: touchdown back in his old stadium, and there's always something. 1288 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 1: It can't just be this clean, great game. This issue 1289 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,840 Speaker 1: with him. If you watched the game last night, after 1290 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 1: he makes the one handed catch, he is pulled out 1291 01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,480 Speaker 1: of the game and miss is a critical third down 1292 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,840 Speaker 1: in which the Browns could have scored because of his 1293 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 1: helmet visor. Which is a very strange thing. We've seen 1294 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:02,920 Speaker 1: guys wear visor's anything wristbands that they're not allowed to 1295 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 1: but for a ref free to say get out of 1296 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 1: the game as your team is in the red zone, 1297 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,680 Speaker 1: I've never heard of before. Typically it's on the sideline 1298 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,600 Speaker 1: between series or after a game. You get fine. There's 1299 01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,800 Speaker 1: always something with Odell, you had to wear the visor. 1300 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: You couldn't just come in like the rest of your 1301 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,560 Speaker 1: teammates with the clear one. It can't just be cleaned football. 1302 01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 1: I don't get it. Yeah, And I don't get why 1303 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 1: it took them till midway through the first quarter or 1304 01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 1: whenever it was to find that out. Don't they have 1305 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 1: guys on the sideline look at that during pregame unless 1306 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 1: he had a different helmet, of which I doubt, all 1307 01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden they decide to do something about that 1308 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 1: that they he'd been wearing that helmet for two and 1309 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 1: a half hours before they actually got around to pulling 1310 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: him off the field. Well, it's a weird thing, Steve, 1311 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 1: because now it's like, okay, so the guys come out 1312 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 1: and there's the gloves and the cleats that they wear 1313 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 1: and warm ups, which is the different set of rules 1314 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,920 Speaker 1: for what they can wear in the game, And so 1315 01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,760 Speaker 1: was that Odell's warm up visor? What is this real? 1316 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,800 Speaker 1: It is an interesting point though, is how many people 1317 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 1: on the Browns on staff and their teammates, they know 1318 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 1: the rules. You can't wear this crazy blue blocker visor thing. 1319 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,880 Speaker 1: Nobody said to him. Odell, By the way, you shouldn't 1320 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 1: wear that thing, and I would be willing to bet 1321 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: that somebody on the Jets narked him for wearing it 1322 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 1: and maybe even did it in the middle of that 1323 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 1: first series that they could pull him out. It was 1324 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 1: one of the greatest things that Jets did last all Right, 1325 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:27,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you. I know, I know you're a 1326 01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,960 Speaker 1: big Chicago guy in the Bears. How about are a 1327 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 1: kicker for the Bears? I mean that a regular season reaction. 1328 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 1: You may not see a better one. Well, Eddie Pinero, 1329 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,800 Speaker 1: who they are now calling Eddie Dinero for out of 1330 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,200 Speaker 1: respect for the late great Eddie Money. I mean, this 1331 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 1: was an unbelievable moment. You think, oh, it's a week 1332 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 1: two kick to beat the Broncos. This is an almost 1333 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 1: biblical saga of what the Chicago Bears have gone through 1334 01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,640 Speaker 1: to find this kicker, the cliffs Notes version of which 1335 01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:05,840 Speaker 1: is nine kickers and OTAs doing unbelievable drills like kicking 1336 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 1: from the same distance that they're kicker Tody Parkey, who 1337 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 1: they cut after he appeared on the Today Show and 1338 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,480 Speaker 1: who they're still paying missed from. Then they narrowed down 1339 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 1: to three, then two, then one, and wouldn't you know it. 1340 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,640 Speaker 1: In the second week of the season, Eddie de Niro 1341 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 1: has a kick to win the game with one second left, 1342 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 1: and oh my god, he's split it. So there's the 1343 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 1: sake of rejoicing in Chicago, which is we got a kicker, 1344 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:32,760 Speaker 1: but do we have a quarterback? The Bears are really intrigued. 1345 01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: They do have a kicker. I don't know if they 1346 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 1: have a quarterback. I agree, I think the Bears. Steve 1347 01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: and I kind of disagree and this. I think the 1348 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,560 Speaker 1: Bears are better than loose. The loss of the Packers 1349 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: and a squeaky victory over Denver. You know what I mean. 1350 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:45,480 Speaker 1: It does come down to the quarterback. But I think 1351 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 1: they'll be all right when it's all said and done, 1352 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 1: don't you Here's what I think. Week one I tend 1353 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,440 Speaker 1: to throw out. I say this to last week. Week 1354 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: one is a liar. Week two at Denver, Denver, I've 1355 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 1: looked this up as seventeen and one in their last 1356 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,920 Speaker 1: home openers. There's a crazy place to play when it's 1357 01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,000 Speaker 1: hot and when there's altitude. Khalil Mack, who is in 1358 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 1: better shape than like Greek gods, was on the sideline 1359 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,080 Speaker 1: for key snaps because he was gassed, he couldn't get 1360 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 1: in the game. So going into Denver in September and 1361 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 1: getting out of them with a win, fine, it counts. 1362 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 1: But now I don't know. I still don't. We talked 1363 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,960 Speaker 1: about this last week. I don't know. If Trubisky has 1364 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,560 Speaker 1: the dog in him, I don't know. And after week 1365 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,560 Speaker 1: two it's just raised more questions. Well, there's a guy 1366 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 1: who's there's no question about he was the MVP last year, 1367 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 1: and he started out everybody said, well, he can't have 1368 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 1: another year like he did last year. It's just statistically impossible. 1369 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 1: But then pack Mahomes throws for almost three hundred yards 1370 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 1: in a quarter. He may put it out of sight. Yeah, 1371 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,200 Speaker 1: and and the Bears could have drafted him, by the way. 1372 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,640 Speaker 1: But here's the thing that I love about this. First 1373 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:52,000 Speaker 1: of all, how do you not love watching Patrick Mahomes. Well, 1374 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 1: I don't care what if you're a Raiders fan, a 1375 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:58,280 Speaker 1: Bronchos fan, Bills fan. Everything about him is cool. He 1376 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 1: plays different, he talks different, He's got extremely positive vibe 1377 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 1: around them. And I love seeing this because you guys 1378 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: probably were onto this in the off season. There was 1379 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,960 Speaker 1: this band of people I don't know who they were, 1380 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 1: if they were fantasy geeks or or saber metrics wizards 1381 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:18,040 Speaker 1: who were not only predicting this regression for Patrick Mahomes, 1382 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 1: there was almost a sense that they were almost pulling 1383 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,800 Speaker 1: for it, like they did not want him to play 1384 01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 1: as well and they wanted to see him regress. He's 1385 01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 1: not regressing, He's getting better. He was out there doing 1386 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,160 Speaker 1: this against the Raiders two hundred and something seventy yards 1387 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 1: in the second quarter, and he was without the greatest 1388 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 1: deep thread in football, Tyreek Hill. This was him with 1389 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: one arm behind his back. He's playing Mortal Kombat and 1390 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,880 Speaker 1: the kick button doesn't work and he's still getting the fatality. 1391 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,960 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, there's no scene that he can go sixty 1392 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns this year. Sixty and I'll throw twelve of them 1393 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:51,600 Speaker 1: without looking with Kyle Brand from NFL never goes some 1394 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 1: Good Morning football on NFL Network. We're in a weird time. 1395 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 1: I believe Kyle in the NFL right now. Jalen Ramsey 1396 01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,320 Speaker 1: wants to be traded after his little dusk up with 1397 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: Doug Morone. Micky Fitzpatrick got traded last night. Antonio Brown 1398 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,800 Speaker 1: did his thing. It's somebody pointed this out. It's a 1399 01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 1: little bit like the NBA. The players are starting to 1400 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 1: take over where they want to go huh yeah, or 1401 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,720 Speaker 1: if it's a weird thing where they're getting empowered in 1402 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,560 Speaker 1: one season, another one do it. And there's running backs 1403 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 1: who watch Levion Bell and we'll see how I can 1404 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 1: do It. Doesn't always work that way. I mean, ask 1405 01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,040 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon if the Levion Bell plan works, to ask 1406 01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:27,920 Speaker 1: some of these other players are just begging to be 1407 01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,439 Speaker 1: traded works. It's an interesting with Jalen Ramsey because first 1408 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: and foremost, you know, teams can say no, they can 1409 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:36,840 Speaker 1: say screw it. I don't care if you want to 1410 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: be traded. We're gonna put up with you, and we're 1411 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,640 Speaker 1: gonna keep you because you're that good. If I'm the Jaguars, 1412 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: I am going behind Jalen Ramsey's car in the parking 1413 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 1: lot and lying down and not letting him leave. He 1414 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,400 Speaker 1: is one of the best players in all of football 1415 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,959 Speaker 1: and he had what a dust up with the head coach. 1416 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if Jalen Ramsey is not more important 1417 01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 1: than the Jacksonville Jaguars than Doug Morone is right now. 1418 01:06:58,040 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because we were talking about this more 1419 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,920 Speaker 1: in a Good Morning Football, with what Jalen comes with, 1420 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 1: with the attitude, with the GQ interviews, with the quotes 1421 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 1: and everything. If you were a fan, if you were 1422 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 1: a teammate, if you were in the front office, do 1423 01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,280 Speaker 1: you openly want Jalen Ramsey on your team or is 1424 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,280 Speaker 1: that a guy that you want to join the organization? 1425 01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 1: My answer is a resounding yes, because did you see 1426 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,200 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins this past week? I didn't. He had about 1427 01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 1: forty yards receiving because Jalen was all over him. He 1428 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 1: has a lot of opinions, he has a lot to say, 1429 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 1: but he is a great, great player, and he is 1430 01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 1: nowhere near even the universe of someone like Antonio Brown 1431 01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 1: who was off the reservation who sabotaged his team. Jalen 1432 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,280 Speaker 1: just gets a little worked up sometimes. He's one of 1433 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,240 Speaker 1: the best players in all of football. Jacksonville should keep him, 1434 01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 1: but any team that lands a trade for him wins 1435 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,400 Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, And I think it's interesting question because 1436 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 1: you get to these point where these guys are so important, 1437 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,760 Speaker 1: particularly at the quarterback position. What are you gonna do 1438 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 1: an elite quarterback pulls this one of these things where 1439 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 1: I want to be traded and how important is it 1440 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,320 Speaker 1: and how difficult is it to replace a head coach. 1441 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,840 Speaker 1: Now you look at Jacksonville, there's a guy in the 1442 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,200 Speaker 1: front office up above him who won two Super Bowls 1443 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,040 Speaker 1: in New York and Tom Coughlin. How easy would it 1444 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:15,040 Speaker 1: be for him to come downstairs and kick Doug Marone 1445 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:16,599 Speaker 1: out the front door and say, you know what, Jalen, 1446 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 1: I'll get you and what do you want you know? 1447 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 1: And we'll go on ahead. You know, it's a huge 1448 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 1: dynamic shift in the NFL that has a potential of 1449 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,559 Speaker 1: changing the way they do business. It feels generational, Steve. 1450 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,640 Speaker 1: I would turn it back to you if at the 1451 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 1: height of their powers, somebody like Thurman or Andre had 1452 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: said I'm done here, I want to be traded, get 1453 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:37,320 Speaker 1: out of here, and I want to be I don't 1454 01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,479 Speaker 1: want to play for this team anymore. With the team, 1455 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,760 Speaker 1: how with the team respond ho would the locker room respond? Yeah, 1456 01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 1: it wouldn't. It'd be a negative, There's no question it was. 1457 01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 1: If you got a group that wants to do things together, 1458 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: it's because they want to do it together. And if 1459 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,560 Speaker 1: somebody wants off this ship, I think players would be 1460 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,639 Speaker 1: pretty much willing to say, okay, take off, We'll get 1461 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,800 Speaker 1: the next guy. But it would but let's face it, 1462 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:57,920 Speaker 1: you lose a good player, it's harder to win. There's 1463 01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,400 Speaker 1: no question about it, no matter who it is. And 1464 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 1: I wonder what somebody like Kalais Campbell or Yan you 1465 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 1: can Goquay or some of these guys who have been 1466 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,519 Speaker 1: to the FC title game with Jacksonville. I'm sure they're 1467 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,320 Speaker 1: good with Jayleen. I'm sure they're tight with them, but 1468 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,519 Speaker 1: they go to practice today and they're reading on their 1469 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,479 Speaker 1: phones that his agent wants him out of Jacksonville. And guys, 1470 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,680 Speaker 1: they got to play a game in two days Thursday night, 1471 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:17,680 Speaker 1: and they're trying not to go in three. So they 1472 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:19,800 Speaker 1: got big, big issues. It's an interesting how that would 1473 01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,560 Speaker 1: play in the locker room. Yeah, and an interesting You 1474 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,200 Speaker 1: gotta have the conversation though. The old guys got to 1475 01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,680 Speaker 1: go to the young guys or the lesser players got 1476 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 1: to go to the star players and say, okay, what 1477 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,160 Speaker 1: about it? What's problem? Can we fix it? And it's 1478 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 1: you know, most conversations don't get into therapeutic territory in 1479 01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,959 Speaker 1: a locker you know what I'm saying, it's new territory. 1480 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:40,880 Speaker 1: But you got to talk the guy off the ledge 1481 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,680 Speaker 1: if you can. And I think that if you've got 1482 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: a guy like Kalais Campbell, maybe they will go out 1483 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:46,880 Speaker 1: there and sit down with a lunch pail and say, hey, 1484 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:48,479 Speaker 1: you want to share a sandwich out here before you 1485 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: jump right. Well, he badly wants to be traded. This 1486 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:54,960 Speaker 1: is the guy who showed up the training camp and 1487 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:56,880 Speaker 1: a Brinks truck. Maybe he's just sew up to Thursday 1488 01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 1: night football on a moving truck, one of those old 1489 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:02,599 Speaker 1: mayflowers to send the message, Kyle Blessing, we got for you. Kyle. 1490 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,560 Speaker 1: You talked about the Bills Patriots game a couple of 1491 01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 1: games away, a couple of weeks away. Now the Patriots 1492 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 1: get the Jets with probably Luke Fowk at quarterback this week. 1493 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 1: There's a chance of Patriots could come to Buffalo without 1494 01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: having surrendered to touchdown yet this season on defense. That 1495 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:21,960 Speaker 1: would be incredible. Would now, even to this point, they 1496 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,400 Speaker 1: haven't surrendered one going back to the last touchdown that's 1497 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 1: Patriots surrendered was to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1498 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 1: title game. That's the street guys. That includes the Super Bowl. Yeah, 1499 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,560 Speaker 1: So I mean, look, I'm gonna I'm gonna we do 1500 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 1: this every week, and I love and I'm thrilled to 1501 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 1: come on, and I'm gonna pledge to you that I'm 1502 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,439 Speaker 1: never gonna come on and disingenuously hype the Bills if 1503 01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't mean it. Because I see all these guys 1504 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,000 Speaker 1: who go on a team show or anything they say, oh, 1505 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,000 Speaker 1: you're the greatest team ever. I'm not gonna come on 1506 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 1: in here and tell you and be like, you know what, 1507 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,800 Speaker 1: I think the Bills can take This Patriots team, I'm 1508 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,560 Speaker 1: not gonna do that. This Patriots team is probably the 1509 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,719 Speaker 1: best one they've had in a decade. They're absolutely loaded, 1510 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 1: and all the eyeballs go to Brady and Antonio and everything. 1511 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,800 Speaker 1: The defense is incredible, I mean incredible. Say what you 1512 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,560 Speaker 1: want about the Jets or whoever they're gonna this is 1513 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,840 Speaker 1: the team that that completely ended mc vania and shut 1514 01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,120 Speaker 1: down the Rams and the super Bowl. That's it is 1515 01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 1: a juggernaut right now. Yeah, well, we appreciate about that. 1516 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:16,680 Speaker 1: Bad about you, Kyle, Thank you very much.

Well it's 1527 01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,400 Speaker 1: interesting too because the guy who says it down the 1528 01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:50,840 Speaker 1: hole in the movie is nicknamed the Buffalo Bill.

And I only 1600 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,320 Speaker 1: have one home opener under my belt, and we were 1601 01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,760 Speaker 1: oh and one. I think at the time and um, 1602 01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:21,000 Speaker 1: but it was still absolutely infectious. And I tried to 1603 01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 1: tell some of the younger guys and the newer players 1604 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,120 Speaker 1: to our team, and all of us do like it's 1605 01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 1: special playing here. Um. And you know, we really truly 1606 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,040 Speaker 1: care about our fans and the fact that they show up. 1607 01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,240 Speaker 1: And you look at the fourth preseason game, and we 1608 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:38,000 Speaker 1: had a bunch of people at that game who stayed 1609 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 1: the whole game, watched the comeback, and were rated. I mean, 1610 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:42,760 Speaker 1: it was like we won the super Bowl. People were going, 1611 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,639 Speaker 1: you know it was. It was so fun and so passionate, 1612 01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,040 Speaker 1: and that's that's the Buffalo Bills fan base. And so 1613 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,760 Speaker 1: to see that on a smaller scale there, it's gonna 1614 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:56,080 Speaker 1: be absolutely unbelievable guests Bills defensive linemen, and it's been 1615 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:57,720 Speaker 1: fun on the road for a couple of weeks. Is 1616 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,560 Speaker 1: there a chance, Harry, Harry, that this defense better this 1617 01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:02,680 Speaker 1: year than you were a year ago? You know, I 1618 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,320 Speaker 1: think that we have a chance for sure, um. And 1619 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,479 Speaker 1: somewhat what's kind of hard about football is that the 1620 01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:12,160 Speaker 1: win lost column or the sack column, UM, or you know, 1621 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,720 Speaker 1: tackles for a lost sometimes that doesn't always indicate how 1622 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,280 Speaker 1: good of a football team you are and what you know, 1623 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,840 Speaker 1: Sean and Brandon, all those, all of our coaches, what 1624 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,360 Speaker 1: they keep preaching is we don't focus on those results. 1625 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,160 Speaker 1: We're just focused on the process and in every game, 1626 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: every play, can we be better if our technique grades 1627 01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,439 Speaker 1: are better each week, by the end of the season, 1628 01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,479 Speaker 1: we'll be up there in the conversation. And so, um, 1629 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,920 Speaker 1: we're just focusing on being getting our best for out 1630 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,479 Speaker 1: there rotating and um making making some plays when we can. Yeah, 1631 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,719 Speaker 1: and that I've said that a little bit this offseason. 1632 01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:43,479 Speaker 1: Or where do you go from you know, a top 1633 01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 1: defense in the league. How do you improve? But and 1634 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 1: I made that same point that this could be a 1635 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 1: better defense even if you're not at ranked as highly 1636 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,880 Speaker 1: given the way your play, your techniques individually, the way 1637 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 1: the games fall, and way other defense is another play 1638 01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,840 Speaker 1: teams playing, particularly way other offenses take play that are 1639 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,479 Speaker 1: so good that other you know, it's it pumps teams up. 1640 01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,759 Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about this game. I mean, you're 1641 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,000 Speaker 1: getting wrecked up into this home open. You come in 1642 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:11,240 Speaker 1: two and oh and you're playing a team well it's 1643 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:12,720 Speaker 1: O and two. I mean you got to kind of 1644 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:16,200 Speaker 1: fight the urge to like think about the next week 1645 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:19,519 Speaker 1: almost right, Yeah, I mean, definitely, you have to stay 1646 01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:21,680 Speaker 1: in the moment. And again, they've done such a good 1647 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 1: job of bringing guys in here who are all like 1648 01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,400 Speaker 1: minded individuals, focusing on going one to know every week. 1649 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,519 Speaker 1: But I mean, I can't even think of that many 1650 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,759 Speaker 1: games I've been a part of that. We were the favorites, 1651 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,960 Speaker 1: you know last year. Just that's not the way it 1652 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,600 Speaker 1: fell often, and so it's cool and we're excited about it, 1653 01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,280 Speaker 1: but we're still you know, we're still oh and no 1654 01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 1: going into this week and just trying to get one 1655 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,600 Speaker 1: to know this week. Harry Phillips, Bill's defensive lineman with us. 1656 01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:47,240 Speaker 1: One of the trademarks early of this UH Buffalo defense 1657 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,400 Speaker 1: has been tip passes. You've got two of them against 1658 01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,720 Speaker 1: the Giants, Officially seven credited to the Buffalo defense for 1659 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:54,880 Speaker 1: the first two weeks. What's going on there? Why why 1660 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,200 Speaker 1: so many tip passes? Do you think? Well? I think 1661 01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,840 Speaker 1: it's because, you know, we talk about it, we emphasize 1662 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,200 Speaker 1: it up front. We know that in this league, the 1663 01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,840 Speaker 1: way that it's going nowadays, quarterbacks aren't sitting back there 1664 01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 1: and humming the ball and patting the ball and patting 1665 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,920 Speaker 1: the ball. They're they're getting to their set and they're 1666 01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 1: throwing that ball in two seconds, one point eight seconds, 1667 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,840 Speaker 1: two point two seconds, And so if you can't get home, 1668 01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:19,920 Speaker 1: you know one of the ways to affect the quarterback 1669 01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,759 Speaker 1: is with your hands and getting his vision or bat 1670 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,599 Speaker 1: a ball down, and so knowing the situation, getting smart 1671 01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,400 Speaker 1: players out there. If they're in an empty he's not 1672 01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 1: going to sit back there and hold the ball for forever. 1673 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:32,439 Speaker 1: So you got to dictate that in your rush. Don't 1674 01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,520 Speaker 1: dial up some elaborate move, just get close to get 1675 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,800 Speaker 1: some pressure and get it get a hand up you had. 1676 01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,040 Speaker 1: You're getting to the point now where you're almost splitting 1677 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,880 Speaker 1: reps equally with Star Low tu Lelee. What is different 1678 01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,479 Speaker 1: about your second year coming into this same defense than 1679 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,679 Speaker 1: it was a year ago when you were seeing everything 1680 01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 1: for the first time. Well, there's a lot more confidence 1681 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,280 Speaker 1: going into year two, and I feel like a lot 1682 01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,760 Speaker 1: smarter player because having a whole year with Kyle in 1683 01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 1: the room and also a whole year to watch Star 1684 01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,559 Speaker 1: who's also veteran in this league and has played amazing 1685 01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,120 Speaker 1: football and is still playing at a very very high caliber, 1686 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,920 Speaker 1: and so working with him and he understands how eager 1687 01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 1: and passionate I am to get out there, so he's 1688 01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,200 Speaker 1: not afraid to say, hey, Harrison, you can go get 1689 01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 1: this series or you know, only staying for a few 1690 01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 1: plays and give it his all, So then I can 1691 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 1: come in and give it my all. And we have 1692 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,479 Speaker 1: a good rotation going. But it's really nice, and I 1693 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 1: think that I'm a firm believer that you're a better 1694 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,040 Speaker 1: player as the game goes on. I would think that 1695 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:29,840 Speaker 1: most people get their sacks towards the end of the 1696 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,719 Speaker 1: game because you get to set up your your offensive 1697 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 1: lineman a handful of times working inside move, working inside move, 1698 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 1: and then work the outside move. And so the more 1699 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,400 Speaker 1: opportunities you get like that, the more production is going 1700 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,200 Speaker 1: to come. Defensive line rotation has been healthy through the 1701 01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,800 Speaker 1: first two weeks, and shoot, it was seventy eight seventy 1702 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:46,600 Speaker 1: ninety grees is past Sunday. You needed to have a 1703 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:48,320 Speaker 1: lot of guys getting a lot of snaps up front. 1704 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,200 Speaker 1: Huh yeah. And the way that we want to go 1705 01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 1: is just go one hundred percent as fast as you can. 1706 01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:54,639 Speaker 1: And a second, you can't go one hundred percent anymore. 1707 01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 1: Come on out, and we have the depth to do that. 1708 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:00,439 Speaker 1: We have eight players who can play, eight players who 1709 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,600 Speaker 1: I believe could probably start somewhere in the NFL. And 1710 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,120 Speaker 1: the way that they word it with us is we 1711 01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,679 Speaker 1: all are all are all starters and so we're all playing. 1712 01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:10,640 Speaker 1: One of the things about this team that has been 1713 01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,920 Speaker 1: coming out of the locker room and all the media 1714 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,560 Speaker 1: coming outs about the culture that has been establishers a 1715 01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 1: third year Sean McDermott, and certainly it seems to be 1716 01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:23,120 Speaker 1: really well entrenched. What is the culture on this team 1717 01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:27,680 Speaker 1: and why is it important? Well, I guess that's the 1718 01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:29,519 Speaker 1: easier a question to ask them what our identity is, 1719 01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,680 Speaker 1: because your identity is going to be found out through 1720 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:33,560 Speaker 1: this season. But you know, our culture is one of 1721 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 1: growth mindset, one of focusing on the process and really 1722 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 1: selfless players understanding that you know, I, I guess me personally, 1723 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,439 Speaker 1: I could have probably more tackles. I could probably have 1724 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,519 Speaker 1: more production, more hurries, maybe more sacks if I did 1725 01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 1: my own thing, But that's not what we're here to do. 1726 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:53,840 Speaker 1: We're here to win football games. And so all across 1727 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:55,920 Speaker 1: the board, you got eleven people on offense when they're 1728 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,839 Speaker 1: in e loving people on defense and almost most importantly 1729 01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,519 Speaker 1: loving people on spec teams who are all bought in 1730 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,640 Speaker 1: to that play and how that play is supposed to 1731 01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,240 Speaker 1: be blocked, or how that play is supposed to be protected, 1732 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:07,960 Speaker 1: and what gap we're supposed to be in. And so 1733 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:10,360 Speaker 1: when you get a hand a team that can do 1734 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,640 Speaker 1: that collectively, I think that's how you win games in 1735 01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:15,000 Speaker 1: this league. When do you dig into the Bengals this week, 1736 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,640 Speaker 1: we already started a little bit um. You know, Tuesdays 1737 01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:20,640 Speaker 1: are off days, but a lot of guys still come in. 1738 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 1: We have a D line group chat, so I textually it. 1739 01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:26,760 Speaker 1: We all met at noon today and watched the first 1740 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,040 Speaker 1: couple of games they had this season. I know, I 1741 01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,320 Speaker 1: saw some linebackers in here, the quarterbacks. You know, we 1742 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:32,840 Speaker 1: all kind of get to do it on our own time, 1743 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,439 Speaker 1: around our lifts and our our massages and stuff on 1744 01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,240 Speaker 1: the off day. But just trying to create a healthy 1745 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,800 Speaker 1: habit and get into it early so that by the 1746 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:44,240 Speaker 1: time we get into meetings tomorrow morning and they're you know, 1747 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:46,720 Speaker 1: talking some stuff about the Bengals, Well, actually, coach, yeah, 1748 01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 1: we already know some of that. We know some of 1749 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 1: the runs day. Like one of the things about that 1750 01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:54,720 Speaker 1: happened to all season was the building got bigger. They 1751 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:57,000 Speaker 1: built this new thing. It's really cool. It's and they're 1752 01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:58,680 Speaker 1: using a ton all of the guys are in there 1753 01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:01,280 Speaker 1: all the time. But we were mentioned just before we 1754 01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:02,680 Speaker 1: came on the air one of the other things that, 1755 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:04,800 Speaker 1: unlike some of the teams we're looking at, and we've 1756 01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:06,559 Speaker 1: been talking about the whole show, the builds are na 1757 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 1: relatively healthy. The injuries they've got are can do it 1758 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 1: like a shaving nick. You know, they're just they're minor injuries. 1759 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,880 Speaker 1: And even in the preseason it was that same way. 1760 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,680 Speaker 1: Can you attribute maybe the good fortune they've had on 1761 01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,680 Speaker 1: the injury front collectively speaking to what's going on in 1762 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:27,280 Speaker 1: this building, I definitely think so, and also somewhat too 1763 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:31,639 Speaker 1: about what our team is pushing and our coaching staff 1764 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,040 Speaker 1: and everybody in the building says the training room is 1765 01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 1: a good place to be in. You want to be 1766 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,760 Speaker 1: in the training room. You want to be with our 1767 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:41,559 Speaker 1: strength coaches and everybody in our performance enhancement area because 1768 01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 1: you know, they know the best way to the best 1769 01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,320 Speaker 1: rehab is is prevention, and so to stay on top 1770 01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,680 Speaker 1: of things. And I think another thing we can tip 1771 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 1: our hats to is how hard we went in OTAs 1772 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,519 Speaker 1: and how hard we went in training camp. You know 1773 01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,200 Speaker 1: if so often, if you take it easy and you 1774 01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 1: go to game and you strain, that's when you get 1775 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,320 Speaker 1: the polls and the and the injuries like that. But 1776 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:03,800 Speaker 1: we had a heck of an OTA period and a 1777 01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,200 Speaker 1: heck of a training camp and so um, we're in 1778 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 1: We're in fantastic shape. Harry, did our producer came across 1779 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 1: this on Twitter? Did you see what Turnavious White posted with? 1780 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:17,439 Speaker 1: You have? What's a big deal? You're in Subway? So 1781 01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,639 Speaker 1: what you have? You have the right to go out right? Look, Yeah, 1782 01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't understand what he was all upset about. 1783 01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 1: I think the first comment that should be made is 1784 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:28,000 Speaker 1: why was he at Subway? Too? Right? And I wish 1785 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:29,920 Speaker 1: you would have kept the video going because you would 1786 01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:35,639 Speaker 1: have seen my healthy sandwich veggiegie. Yeah right, no cookies, 1787 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,400 Speaker 1: no no chips. But you know, if I do love 1788 01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:41,760 Speaker 1: Subway cookies, and if Subway would ever like me to 1789 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,360 Speaker 1: come on air and eat as many cookies as I can, 1790 01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:48,720 Speaker 1: I will happily do that. I'll get the big, close 1791 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,000 Speaker 1: knit group. And here's Turnavius throwing you under the bus 1792 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,960 Speaker 1: at a fast food restaurant. I guess it's okay. Did 1793 01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,960 Speaker 1: did he put my reply to Turdavius? I said something 1794 01:23:58,000 --> 01:23:59,920 Speaker 1: along the lines of like, hey, Trey must not trust 1795 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 1: the process. The process this Sunday includes the pregame ceremony 1796 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,840 Speaker 1: to remember Poncho Bia. You'll be part of that meet 1797 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,560 Speaker 1: with the family. And it's important to note that a 1798 01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:13,240 Speaker 1: lot of people benefited. Right, the one hundred kids benefited 1799 01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:17,160 Speaker 1: from the teacher's task and Pancho's legacy that lives on. Right, 1800 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,360 Speaker 1: they're packing those backpacks all last spring, right, Yeah, it 1801 01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,719 Speaker 1: was a really cool thing. A bunch of US player 1802 01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,000 Speaker 1: got to show out, and just a bunch of people 1803 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:26,600 Speaker 1: here in Western New York who wanted to come and 1804 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:30,200 Speaker 1: support and any time that you can affect some of 1805 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,759 Speaker 1: these kids who maybe don't have the opportunity to afford 1806 01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:36,439 Speaker 1: these these goodies before school starts. I always remember going 1807 01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,400 Speaker 1: school shopping. It was an exciting time to get fired 1808 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:40,439 Speaker 1: up for school, and so to get that excitement for 1809 01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:42,640 Speaker 1: these kids, it's fantastic. It's more than a hundred that 1810 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:44,640 Speaker 1: were that were affected by it, but a hundred of 1811 01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,760 Speaker 1: those kids will be on the field pregame coming up, 1812 01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:49,880 Speaker 1: and you can still actually that's still an organization that's 1813 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:51,439 Speaker 1: still live and up and run it. You can still 1814 01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:54,799 Speaker 1: contribute to the Teacher's Desk dot org, forward slash donate. 1815 01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:56,840 Speaker 1: A lot of kids were helped at the game in 1816 01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: the school and those schools started, but still a lot 1817 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,960 Speaker 1: to be done. And and it really does say something 1818 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,880 Speaker 1: about Ponto's legacy that that's that's continuing and so many 1819 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,240 Speaker 1: people were affected by it. Yeah, and and not only 1820 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 1: just Poncho, because yes, obviously he's the catalyst who pushed 1821 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,439 Speaker 1: this thing going, and it's it's all on his shoulders, 1822 01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:14,720 Speaker 1: but how about all of Western New York supporting it, 1823 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:16,640 Speaker 1: and not only just Western New York, but all of 1824 01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:19,680 Speaker 1: Bill's backers across the nation. And that's truly why our 1825 01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 1: fan base is undefeated and that I hope I could 1826 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:25,800 Speaker 1: beat Buffalo Bill for a very long time. Thanks, thanks 1827 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,280 Speaker 1: for appreciate it. Thank you guys for having me. Arison Phillips, 1828 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,200 Speaker 1: Harry he joins us here in the studio. Steve and 1829 01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,559 Speaker 1: I coming back when more. One Bills Live presented by 1830 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:50,560 Speaker 1: Kalida Health Live from the Seneca Studio. Welcome back to 1831 01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,280 Speaker 1: the show. One Bills live from our Seneca Studio in 1832 01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,479 Speaker 1: Orchard Park, Hay Sound for Milestones presented by Reach Jewelers, 1833 01:25:57,560 --> 01:25:59,880 Speaker 1: the official jeweler of the Buffalo Bills. With a win 1834 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,280 Speaker 1: on Sunday, the Bills would start the season three and oh. 1835 01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,679 Speaker 1: They have opened three and o nine times in their history. 1836 01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:08,479 Speaker 1: Seven of those nine teams qualified for the playoffs. Well, 1837 01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 1: it's also known here and I wrote this for a 1838 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,000 Speaker 1: piece that's going up. The last time they started three 1839 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:14,880 Speaker 1: and old, they finished with just six wins. That's not 1840 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,479 Speaker 1: what you're looking at, right, So it can go either way. 1841 01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,920 Speaker 1: The point is to the point is anything can happen here. 1842 01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,840 Speaker 1: It's a good start. It's already a good start two 1843 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: and old, but there's still a long way to go. 1844 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,760 Speaker 1: Fourteen games left, thirteen games left, still a long long 1845 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,439 Speaker 1: way to go? Right? You agree? Oh, I totally agree. 1846 01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:35,040 Speaker 1: But I will say this, it seems like like last 1847 01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:39,080 Speaker 1: night we were like in Carolina. What do you mean. 1848 01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:43,800 Speaker 1: Once the season starts, man, it goes, Oh the Jets 1849 01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,160 Speaker 1: were old? Why now the Giants are gone? Now we're oh, 1850 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 1: Bengals are writing today? You know that season it slips 1851 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,439 Speaker 1: and if you fall behind, it's hard to catch. Up, 1852 01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,800 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to week three here, but I'm trying 1853 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:57,200 Speaker 1: hard to keep up because there's a lot going on 1854 01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,280 Speaker 1: around the league, and of course here you gotta you 1855 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:01,880 Speaker 1: gotta keep up with your process there, Murph. I'm trying 1856 01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:05,680 Speaker 1: to adhere to that, you know, respecting the process. Your 1857 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,599 Speaker 1: buddy Frankreicher, former teammate head coach in the Indianapolis Colts, 1858 01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:11,679 Speaker 1: has an interesting issue on his hands with his longtime kicker, 1859 01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,120 Speaker 1: the veteran kicker Anna vent Terry, the future Hall of Famers, 1860 01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:18,040 Speaker 1: had a rough goal. He's missed a couple of extra points. 1861 01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 1: I believe he's missed a couple of field goals already 1862 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,240 Speaker 1: the season. In two games they are one and one, 1863 01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:24,120 Speaker 1: So it costs him a little bit in the one 1864 01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,120 Speaker 1: first game and in the second. But Frank Greich had 1865 01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:30,679 Speaker 1: a stirring defense of his kicker in a radio interview yesterday. 1866 01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,360 Speaker 1: Here's Frank Greek on the Adam Vineteria. Here's what he said. 1867 01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,719 Speaker 1: I just want to make this clear. Adam's our kicker. 1868 01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:40,920 Speaker 1: Like I said yesterday, we have zero concerned. He's not 1869 01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,479 Speaker 1: only our kicker, He's an instrumental leader on our team. 1870 01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:46,320 Speaker 1: You know, when we talk about toughness and what we're 1871 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:50,040 Speaker 1: all about as a team in a program. There's probably 1872 01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,599 Speaker 1: no one who epitomizes that more than Adam. Adam will 1873 01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,920 Speaker 1: figure it out. That's we have the confidence and belief 1874 01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,320 Speaker 1: that he will figure it out, He'll do what he 1875 01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:03,400 Speaker 1: needs to do. Yes, has it been two weeks of 1876 01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:08,800 Speaker 1: subpar Yes? Is it catastrophic? No? To me, it's far 1877 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 1: from catastrophic. You know, this is the NFL. I mean, 1878 01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 1: it's a court. You know, some of the most elite 1879 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,920 Speaker 1: players that I've ever seen or played with or coached, 1880 01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 1: I've seen them have two bad games back to back. 1881 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,840 Speaker 1: So that's just the way I see it. Frank Rereich 1882 01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 1: strong defense for his struggling venteran kicker and a Vinteria. 1883 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:34,040 Speaker 1: You don't hear coaches defend kickers. That's strongly usually right, 1884 01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,320 Speaker 1: they missed a few kicks, and most dudes are like, 1885 01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 1: oh me, maybe you should look around a little bit. 1886 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,000 Speaker 1: It's happened in the past. A lot of coaches aren't 1887 01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,160 Speaker 1: as good as leaders as Frank Reich is. I mean, 1888 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 1: Adam Vinatari is going to figure it out. And you 1889 01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:47,920 Speaker 1: saw some of the kick. The kick they're always shown 1890 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:49,240 Speaker 1: is that I think I believe it was an extra 1891 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:50,560 Speaker 1: point where they were going to go up twenty to 1892 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,720 Speaker 1: seventeen on the Titans. And he kicks it right down 1893 01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,880 Speaker 1: the middle and not this one. He kicked one hard left, 1894 01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:58,880 Speaker 1: no question. But he kicked one right down the middle 1895 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 1: and it curved wide right. He missed, I mean he 1896 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:03,680 Speaker 1: missed it and jointed it off the upright. It was 1897 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,479 Speaker 1: going right down the middle and it just bent. He 1898 01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:08,720 Speaker 1: missed it. Yeah, he slide. He missed a slider, so 1899 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:13,320 Speaker 1: he missed it. Yeah. Well, yeah, if you fired every 1900 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,920 Speaker 1: kicker who missed a kick, we'd all have to be 1901 01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,160 Speaker 1: kickers because he'd run out of people. He's missed more 1902 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,640 Speaker 1: than one. Here's the thing. He's a twenty year vet 1903 01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:22,360 Speaker 1: who's missed a hundred. He's on his way to the 1904 01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,559 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, a twenty plus year vet who has 1905 01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,519 Speaker 1: been great, sensational. One Super Bowl. Let me tell you this, 1906 01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:29,439 Speaker 1: but let me finish my point first place. All right, 1907 01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:31,720 Speaker 1: He's been had a great career, and the question has 1908 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,479 Speaker 1: to be gone through everybody's mind, including Frank Reikes. Is 1909 01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:36,120 Speaker 1: it over for him? Is this the end? And for 1910 01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:39,080 Speaker 1: Frank to go so strong in his defense, I'm impressed 1911 01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,240 Speaker 1: by that, And I'm intrigued by that because you got 1912 01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,160 Speaker 1: to be intelligent enough to know if you put another 1913 01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:44,559 Speaker 1: guy in there and you have a game winning kick, 1914 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:46,639 Speaker 1: would you rather have Adam Vne Terry making your kick 1915 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:48,880 Speaker 1: or some guy who you picked up off the bus 1916 01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,160 Speaker 1: stop right now, Adam Vinetary right now, Yeah, you'd have 1917 01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 1: to think about it. After the way he started, you 1918 01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:57,640 Speaker 1: would take a guy from the bus stop over, Adam Vinetari. 1919 01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:00,439 Speaker 1: That was the point, Adam Vinetari, and not take a 1920 01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,360 Speaker 1: guy to thank you that you're gonna get. We're taking 1921 01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:06,400 Speaker 1: a break, we're back. You're wrong. Nobody saying to think 1922 01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:09,120 Speaker 1: about a bus stop. There are kickers out there, and 1923 01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,360 Speaker 1: if you your kicker is playing poorly, then you look around. 1924 01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:14,439 Speaker 1: Maybe we need another guy, Maybe we need to look 1925 01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:16,600 Speaker 1: at it. That's all I'm saying. By the way, I 1926 01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,320 Speaker 1: salute Frank right for standing so strongly in defense of 1927 01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,800 Speaker 1: his kicker. You don't. Here's my point, The main point 1928 01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:25,679 Speaker 1: I'm making. Normally coaches don't defend their kickers to that extent. 1929 01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,559 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Don't misinterpret it, all right, Carl. 1930 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:30,880 Speaker 1: And the reason he is doing it is because it 1931 01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 1: is Adam Vinitari and guys have a bad spots. There's 1932 01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:37,920 Speaker 1: never been a kicker who's kicked at that age for 1933 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 1: that long at that's not true. George Blanna kicked older 1934 01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:45,479 Speaker 1: than that. Of course, he was only at the end. 1935 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:47,559 Speaker 1: He was only kicking extra points. He didn't kick field goals. 1936 01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:49,200 Speaker 1: So there you go. But all that, I get it. 1937 01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,640 Speaker 1: Adam Vinetarry is in a bad spot. And when you're 1938 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 1: that age, particularly guy like Adam Vannetari. Here's the thing, 1939 01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:57,240 Speaker 1: here's why the question comes up, and here's the only 1940 01:30:57,280 --> 01:30:59,760 Speaker 1: reason it's even up, because we knew he was thinking 1941 01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,719 Speaker 1: about calling it quits himself. Yeah, that's the point, because 1942 01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:04,960 Speaker 1: he told a reporter Sunday night, I'll talk to you tomorrow. 1943 01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,200 Speaker 1: We don't have access to you tomorrow. Well, I will 1944 01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:08,840 Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow. He's got to be thinking it. 1945 01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:11,200 Speaker 1: The owner's got to be thinking it. And I maintained 1946 01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,080 Speaker 1: that Frank Regg's got to at least think about it, 1947 01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:14,760 Speaker 1: and for him to think about it and come to 1948 01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:18,840 Speaker 1: his defense at strongly intrigues me. Impresses me. I think 1949 01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:23,000 Speaker 1: so too, But I also think he's right in this case. 1950 01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:27,400 Speaker 1: You think about we just had Adam Kyle Brandon, You 1951 01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:29,639 Speaker 1: know what, the Chicago Bears did this last on nine 1952 01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:32,840 Speaker 1: Guys in OTNs. I mean, this has become and the Jets, 1953 01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:40,599 Speaker 1: it's become a thing to give that position, in my opinion, 1954 01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:44,120 Speaker 1: in this context a lack of respect. If he can't 1955 01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,679 Speaker 1: make this kick in this situation, kick him to the curb, 1956 01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:50,599 Speaker 1: Let's get another guy in here. And I think it's 1957 01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,280 Speaker 1: a mistake. I think it's a better option, in a 1958 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,800 Speaker 1: better way to have a guy in there who is 1959 01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:58,880 Speaker 1: trying to fix it with the same snapper and the 1960 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,320 Speaker 1: same holder in different situations. And I think Frank is right, 1961 01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:04,080 Speaker 1: and I think the Bears would have been right. I 1962 01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:08,719 Speaker 1: think the Jets completely bungled it by benching or getting 1963 01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:10,639 Speaker 1: rid of a guy who is in the Pro Bowl 1964 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:12,680 Speaker 1: and letting him walk in free agency. How did you 1965 01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:14,600 Speaker 1: let it go before it bites you, before it kills you, 1966 01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:17,040 Speaker 1: before you lose a game that you shouldn't lose. That's 1967 01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:19,560 Speaker 1: the calculation they have to make. Yeah, that's I get it. 1968 01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:22,640 Speaker 1: And the Bears, what are the Bears are going to 1969 01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:26,320 Speaker 1: switch their kicker out before the championship game, before the 1970 01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 1: not the championship game, the playoff game they lost last 1971 01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,439 Speaker 1: week last year, they're gonna change him out that week. 1972 01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:34,920 Speaker 1: You don't know what's You don't never know what's when 1973 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:36,599 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. But you gotta have a guy 1974 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,479 Speaker 1: you trust. And plus it's not about trusting to make 1975 01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,200 Speaker 1: just that kick. It's also trusting that he's got a 1976 01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:45,679 Speaker 1: process that he's gonna fix the problem and vinitary. Sometimes 1977 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:48,080 Speaker 1: the problem isn't just a thought process in one kick, 1978 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:51,559 Speaker 1: he's gonna fix it. Sometimes it takes some mechanical work. 1979 01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:54,280 Speaker 1: It takes a lot. I repeat my point, It takes 1980 01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,680 Speaker 1: a lot to me for Frank Wreich to defend him 1981 01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:59,800 Speaker 1: that strongly, knowing that everybody's thinking, oh, is this the end? 1982 01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:02,479 Speaker 1: Is the end? This is a special circumstance where the 1983 01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:04,040 Speaker 1: guy has been doing it for that long. Okay, let 1984 01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:07,320 Speaker 1: me make this point, as valid or invalid as it is, 1985 01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:08,960 Speaker 1: it does take a lot for him. Well, let that 1986 01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:13,120 Speaker 1: stout right right exactly for coach Toguat and defend him. 1987 01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they all should have been defending the guy they 1988 01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:19,439 Speaker 1: had because they he's on the team for a reason. 1989 01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:23,639 Speaker 1: Now they're bailing on the guy. What's the New York 1990 01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,800 Speaker 1: The New York head coach, the Chicago head coach, the 1991 01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:30,120 Speaker 1: Denver head coach. You name a kicker who's been kicked 1992 01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:32,880 Speaker 1: to the curb that head coach bailed on him after 1993 01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:34,800 Speaker 1: letting the guy win the job. I know you're not 1994 01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:37,559 Speaker 1: saying no kicker has ever deserved to be replaced. You're 1995 01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:40,679 Speaker 1: not saying that, aren't you not at all? Okay, because 1996 01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:43,439 Speaker 1: it sounds like it. If he makes the team in 1997 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,519 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, why does he not get 1998 01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,519 Speaker 1: to make mistakes? Maybe he just barely made. You got 1999 01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:50,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback that throws five interceptions, He will lose his 2000 01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:52,320 Speaker 1: job as well if that keep If that keeps going, sure, 2001 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:55,720 Speaker 1: sure they will. Quarter quarterbacks get benched. You know this. 2002 01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:57,880 Speaker 1: We're breaking. We're coming back.

A lot going 2051 01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,720 Speaker 1: on there for the Steelers. We had Kyle Brandt on 2052 01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 1: the line talking about putting the lotion in the basket 2053 01:36:34,479 --> 01:36:37,559 Speaker 1: and Harrison Phillips just moments ago, Kyle Bran cracks me up. 2054 01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:39,800 Speaker 1: I knew he was funny. He had two weeks now 2055 01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,519 Speaker 1: he's been when thus we'll be on with us next Tuesday. 2056 01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:43,479 Speaker 1: He has been funnier than I thought he would be. 2057 01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:45,519 Speaker 1: He's really good. Yeah, he's really good. He's got a 2058 01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:49,479 Speaker 1: high energy too, and and he's you know, they they scattered. 2059 01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,040 Speaker 1: They're kind of like us a little even more so 2060 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:53,200 Speaker 1: that they scatter all over the league, of course, and 2061 01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:55,960 Speaker 1: we're kind of focused here on Western New York and Buffalo, 2062 01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:58,720 Speaker 1: but those guys on Good Morning Football talk about the 2063 01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:00,720 Speaker 1: entire league, So we can bring stuff up to him. 2064 01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:03,559 Speaker 1: He um and he's on top of it. He nominated 2065 01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:06,920 Speaker 1: nominated Josh Allen for the Angry Run Award, and it 2066 01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,120 Speaker 1: was it was nice, Josh and deserved. It was fun, 2067 01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:12,320 Speaker 1: fun stuff. Uh, Frank Gore could have gotten the angry 2068 01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:15,439 Speaker 1: run thing too, for hitting he bowled over that linebacker. 2069 01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:17,920 Speaker 1: And were good with the Colts, And yeah, we're good. 2070 01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,400 Speaker 1: I like when we have those conversations. Heated exchange on 2071 01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,120 Speaker 1: our part by about I don't think you heard me. 2072 01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:26,200 Speaker 1: I didn't say I would not finding fault with what 2073 01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,519 Speaker 1: they're doing. I just say it's it's not often that 2074 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:31,200 Speaker 1: the coach will come to that stronger defense for a kicker. 2075 01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:33,800 Speaker 1: And this is a kicker who has to be at 2076 01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 1: least near the tail end of his career. Right. Oh, 2077 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:39,920 Speaker 1: he's had a rough go here. Um. You know, if 2078 01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:41,800 Speaker 1: you're a coach, you know you gotta find something you 2079 01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,000 Speaker 1: can make those kicks on a consistent basis. I get 2080 01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:48,080 Speaker 1: it too. And and Adam Vinataire's probably knowing the kind 2081 01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:50,200 Speaker 1: of guy isn't the kind of you know, guys won 2082 01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 1: some world championships and he's had some big kicks in 2083 01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:55,799 Speaker 1: his day. Shall we say, he's probably a little embarrassing 2084 01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:58,880 Speaker 1: and disappointed. And that's hard to and when you've had 2085 01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:00,800 Speaker 1: a career like he has. Do you really want to 2086 01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:05,360 Speaker 1: go out like that? Um? Probably not. And he's probably 2087 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 1: at this point. Listen, he needs he needs the pressure 2088 01:38:09,479 --> 01:38:11,680 Speaker 1: and the criticism for being the Colts kicker about as 2089 01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:13,240 Speaker 1: much as he needs an extra hole in his head. 2090 01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:15,439 Speaker 1: He's you know, I mean the guys like you said, 2091 01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,800 Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer. Um, he's made a pile 2092 01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:22,519 Speaker 1: of money in his career. And the reason guys do that, 2093 01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:25,200 Speaker 1: Guys like Adam Vinatari and Peyton Manning and all these 2094 01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,080 Speaker 1: guys you can name that played a long long time 2095 01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:28,840 Speaker 1: in the league. They do it because it's important to 2096 01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:31,360 Speaker 1: them to keep winning. They don't play for the money, 2097 01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:33,080 Speaker 1: they don't play for all that other stuff. They want 2098 01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:34,600 Speaker 1: to play because they're good at it and it's what 2099 01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:36,760 Speaker 1: they do and it's what they love to do. And 2100 01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,439 Speaker 1: I think that's why he is and I think that's 2101 01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:40,400 Speaker 1: probably one of the reasons why Frank Reich has so 2102 01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 1: much confidence and gave him that really unprecedented vote a 2103 01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:51,040 Speaker 1: confidence going forward. Um, he knows the guy is gonna 2104 01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:54,599 Speaker 1: work it out. And you think about it, probably hopes 2105 01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:57,479 Speaker 1: and yes, this is you may hope more than he knows. 2106 01:38:57,600 --> 01:38:59,639 Speaker 1: And you know, you think about it. With what's happened 2107 01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:02,200 Speaker 1: at their quarterback position with Andrew Luck retire, probably gonna 2108 01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:05,560 Speaker 1: need that guy more than ever, right, Yeah, I don't know. 2109 01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:07,400 Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't want to hand it over to anybody 2110 01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:11,160 Speaker 1: who they just found on you know, he didn't want 2111 01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:12,880 Speaker 1: to have to think about that. I guess. So you're 2112 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:16,840 Speaker 1: saying he's gonna go about that tomorrow, right exactly. Yeah. Hey, 2113 01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:19,560 Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today deals with the Bills. They usually do. 2114 01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:21,160 Speaker 1: We'd love to get you involved.

Take a 2138 01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 1: few calls here. Carl on the line in Buffalo. Hello, Carl, 2139 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:30,080 Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Hey John, how are 2140 01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:33,920 Speaker 1: you joining? Okay? A quick question? What happened if what 2141 01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:37,080 Speaker 1: happened to the kicker of the Bills head in camp McLoughlin. Yeah, 2142 01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:40,000 Speaker 1: so he put two fifty yards into the napte made 2143 01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:42,840 Speaker 1: I think two luster points during the preseason. Is he 2144 01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:45,599 Speaker 1: on the practice squad? No, nope, I don't know where 2145 01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,120 Speaker 1: he is not. See, let me look it up real 2146 01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:49,800 Speaker 1: quick and see if on anybody's practice squads. Yeah, I 2147 01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:51,920 Speaker 1: don't know if he's in the league or not. You 2148 01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,320 Speaker 1: can bet he's probably somewhere with a bag of football's 2149 01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:57,400 Speaker 1: kicking through uprights staying ready, though, because the climate in 2150 01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:59,880 Speaker 1: the National Football League is anything but what Frank Right 2151 01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:04,479 Speaker 1: attested to when his defense of his kicker. Most of 2152 01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:08,200 Speaker 1: these coaches are kicking these guys out like a revolving 2153 01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:11,360 Speaker 1: door when I'm you know, the last segment, Murph and 2154 01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 1: I were going back and forth. How I think that's 2155 01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:17,400 Speaker 1: a mistake. And I think that I think it says 2156 01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,800 Speaker 1: something about each kicker, or each coach, or each situation 2157 01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:23,320 Speaker 1: that most of these clubs do have different levels of 2158 01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:27,360 Speaker 1: patients with these guys sometimes. Now, okay, I think it 2159 01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:30,679 Speaker 1: all depends on the outcome of the game, the rest 2160 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:33,600 Speaker 1: of the way, and or the whether the kick was 2161 01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:37,120 Speaker 1: to make or miss to win a game, or extra 2162 01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:40,120 Speaker 1: point or any extenuating circumstances out of that. Outside of that, 2163 01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:45,840 Speaker 1: I think the critical nature of the miss and its 2164 01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:48,040 Speaker 1: effect on the team has as much to do with 2165 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:51,120 Speaker 1: the patience of the head coach as the actual kick. 2166 01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,479 Speaker 1: You know. So I'm saying is if he misses a 2167 01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:56,120 Speaker 1: kick and they still win the game, it kind of 2168 01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:57,960 Speaker 1: as I He'll be all right that kind of thing, right, 2169 01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,640 Speaker 1: It's easier to do it the exactly mclock. And I 2170 01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:04,040 Speaker 1: believe signed with the Vikings on their practice squad. But 2171 01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,240 Speaker 1: that means he's still a free agent. If somebody wanted 2172 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,240 Speaker 1: to add him to their fifty three, they could do that, 2173 01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:10,840 Speaker 1: but I believe he's with Minnesota on the practice squad 2174 01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:12,759 Speaker 1: right now. He was pretty good, He was pretty solid. 2175 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:15,080 Speaker 1: Bills have a really good kicker, Yes, Carl, go ahead 2176 01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:17,400 Speaker 1: and anything else. I got one question. It was about 2177 01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:21,519 Speaker 1: the end of the Denver Chicago game, and Steve, maybe 2178 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:23,160 Speaker 1: you can help me with this because I I looked 2179 01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:25,519 Speaker 1: it up online on the NFL rules and I couldn't 2180 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:29,000 Speaker 1: find a rule that fits the scenario. At the end 2181 01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,040 Speaker 1: of the game, the Denver went for two points and 2182 01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:34,800 Speaker 1: they took They took the delay game penalty to remember 2183 01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:37,680 Speaker 1: helped the game end it right, They took it, and 2184 01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:41,160 Speaker 1: the referees that they had the option of drawing a 2185 01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,640 Speaker 1: two point five verse from the seven yard line or 2186 01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:47,080 Speaker 1: kicking an extra point for the twenty yard line, right Okay, 2187 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:51,880 Speaker 1: done done. Chicago went off site on the extra point 2188 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,600 Speaker 1: they missed, right, and you're talking that they should have 2189 01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:56,680 Speaker 1: taken it half the distance instead of down to the 2190 01:42:56,960 --> 01:42:58,960 Speaker 1: five yard line or whatever they did. They're down to 2191 01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:00,800 Speaker 1: the one yard line thinking of it to the I 2192 01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,120 Speaker 1: thought the three and a half yard line, right, Instead, 2193 01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:05,200 Speaker 1: they put the ball on the one yard line, And 2194 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:08,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't find a rule classification in the NFL rules 2195 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:10,080 Speaker 1: about it. Do you know what I think about it? No, 2196 01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:12,320 Speaker 1: I think it is there is it's different than it 2197 01:43:12,479 --> 01:43:14,519 Speaker 1: is when it's not an extra point, like if it's 2198 01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:17,400 Speaker 1: on the I think it's different. But you're right, there 2199 01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,760 Speaker 1: was some question about that. I think what happens is 2200 01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:24,280 Speaker 1: if you're gonna trade penalties, you trade the yardage on penalties. 2201 01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,280 Speaker 1: On extra points, you don't, and you still get the 2202 01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:28,320 Speaker 1: same choices. So if you want to kick, if you 2203 01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:30,320 Speaker 1: want to make a kick, you go back to the 2204 01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:32,840 Speaker 1: fifteen or whatever yard line. If you want to try 2205 01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:36,600 Speaker 1: the extra point, it goes back to the original of 2206 01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:39,240 Speaker 1: the two or the one yard line if you're going 2207 01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:44,360 Speaker 1: to try for the two point conversion. And so because 2208 01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:47,840 Speaker 1: of that, I think they just if you trade penalties, 2209 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:50,400 Speaker 1: I think the normal half the distance of the goal 2210 01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:53,960 Speaker 1: on the second penalty is wiped away. You know what 2211 01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think they just wipe away that. I 2212 01:43:56,760 --> 01:43:58,760 Speaker 1: think you have to if you're going to trade penalties, 2213 01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:01,600 Speaker 1: you don't get a half the distance from inside the 2214 01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:03,560 Speaker 1: whatever whatever on the on the comeback. You know what 2215 01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying, I think they just trade back. The yard 2216 01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:07,560 Speaker 1: is the exact yard as you gave up instead of 2217 01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:11,720 Speaker 1: instead of going half the distance. So I don't know, 2218 01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:13,800 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Does that make sense, Carl? 2219 01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:16,599 Speaker 1: It makes sense. It's only the NFL. If you ever 2220 01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:18,920 Speaker 1: saw the rules from the NFL, I mean they took up, 2221 01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, so much rum on the computer, just looking 2222 01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:25,400 Speaker 1: up every game, right, every scenario and that one there 2223 01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:27,880 Speaker 1: was no scenario part in there, right, And that's yeah, 2224 01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:30,559 Speaker 1: you're right, they've got it wired. But and they've got 2225 01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,000 Speaker 1: it all mapped out. But I think that's that's what 2226 01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:34,640 Speaker 1: makes most sense to me, and I think that's the 2227 01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:37,240 Speaker 1: way it is. But I'll have to get a clarification. 2228 01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:39,800 Speaker 1: I know that question was brought up because what we're 2229 01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,320 Speaker 1: saying is, and I don't know if anybody knows. At 2230 01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,080 Speaker 1: the end of the Denver Chicago game. The Denver Broncos 2231 01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:49,200 Speaker 1: went for two. There was a penalty of was a 2232 01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:52,320 Speaker 1: delay a game or yeah, delay a game. So that's 2233 01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:54,800 Speaker 1: a five yard penalty. So they go back to from 2234 01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:56,439 Speaker 1: the two yard line. They'd go to the seven yard 2235 01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:58,360 Speaker 1: line and that's where they would have to try for 2236 01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:02,320 Speaker 1: two or if which they didn't think they could make 2237 01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:04,160 Speaker 1: so they wanted to kick the extra point. Well, then 2238 01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,280 Speaker 1: it goes back. Instead of kicking it from the fifteen 2239 01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:08,519 Speaker 1: yard line, they kicked it from the twenty yard line. Okay, 2240 01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,559 Speaker 1: on the twenty On the kick, there was another there 2241 01:45:11,640 --> 01:45:16,720 Speaker 1: was an off side correct Carl on the defense. So 2242 01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:20,560 Speaker 1: what what what that means is you go back. You 2243 01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:23,280 Speaker 1: can have the same scenario going. They just traded penalties, 2244 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:26,160 Speaker 1: so it goes back. But you're telling me that the 2245 01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:28,800 Speaker 1: officials put it at the one not the two. That 2246 01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:32,479 Speaker 1: is correct. Yeah, that makes no sense to me. No, 2247 01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm totally I'm totally with you. It should have been 2248 01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:36,960 Speaker 1: a traded and they should have gone back to the 2249 01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:41,000 Speaker 1: two yard line instead of half the distance. Uh yeah, 2250 01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:43,720 Speaker 1: I think they messed that up. Carl. Thanks for your call. 2251 01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:47,880 Speaker 1: Here's John calling from Las Vegas. Hello, John, go ahead, Hey, guys, 2252 01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:50,280 Speaker 1: thanks to taking my call. I appreciate it. Sure, So 2253 01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:52,000 Speaker 1: I just got I got a couple of things for you, 2254 01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,400 Speaker 1: just like really quick. My own song here is gonna 2255 01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:58,440 Speaker 1: be Brandon Bean. Uh, simply because of the the remanufactured 2256 01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,320 Speaker 1: front line that we did. I Fliciano would have to 2257 01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:04,880 Speaker 1: be on the top of that list. My second thing, guys, 2258 01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:08,240 Speaker 1: would have to be Zay Jones. He's got seven targets 2259 01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:10,840 Speaker 1: for the year. Catch it. I really think Dave Jones 2260 01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:13,720 Speaker 1: needs to be taken out of the top four in 2261 01:46:13,920 --> 01:46:17,000 Speaker 1: favor of Robert Forrester. I mean last year. Of of course, 2262 01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:19,639 Speaker 1: the average depth of target was first in the NFL 2263 01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:22,160 Speaker 1: with the last seven games of the season with twenty 2264 01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:25,400 Speaker 1: point nine. Also, John Brown was on that list, he 2265 01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:29,280 Speaker 1: was fourth with seventeen. Can't you stopped there? So it 2266 01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:32,320 Speaker 1: doesn't you're what you're telling us is that Foster and 2267 01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:36,479 Speaker 1: John Brown have kind of similar traits. Maybe, so maybe 2268 01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:38,519 Speaker 1: that's where Zay Jones comes in to get somebody else 2269 01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,240 Speaker 1: in there. I totally agrieve with that. I totally agrieved that. 2270 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:45,000 Speaker 1: But the problem is they also been putting m Foster 2271 01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:46,960 Speaker 1: in the slot, and he's been looking pretty well in 2272 01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:50,599 Speaker 1: the slot. I just rewatched the game again, and Dave 2273 01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:54,160 Speaker 1: Jones really hasn't gotten much separation in the last two weeks, 2274 01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:56,160 Speaker 1: especially in the first game against the Jets, which I 2275 01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:59,840 Speaker 1: was there. It was I really think I've seen him 2276 01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:03,720 Speaker 1: ageor problem with that aspect of the game, especially if 2277 01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:06,519 Speaker 1: they're going to leave him in the slots. Um, you know, 2278 01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:10,799 Speaker 1: lining him up sometimes opposite of you know, when Beasley 2279 01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:12,800 Speaker 1: lines up in the slot, then he'll go out to 2280 01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,200 Speaker 1: the end Beasley and they move around a little bit. 2281 01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:18,639 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and then you know when he goes inside John. 2282 01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:21,599 Speaker 1: I just I really believe we need to start looking 2283 01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:24,160 Speaker 1: away from him and starting to put Robert Horster back 2284 01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:26,719 Speaker 1: in it, because he's looked really well. And my last 2285 01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:29,519 Speaker 1: thing is, how on God's Juni Earth are we put 2286 01:47:29,600 --> 01:47:33,120 Speaker 1: him anybody in the same aspects as the task you're 2287 01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:37,960 Speaker 1: on special teams, Steve, in my opinion, you are guaranteed 2288 01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:40,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. It's it's a shame you haven't even 2289 01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:42,960 Speaker 1: been there now. And it even put Sirannio in that 2290 01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:50,240 Speaker 1: conversation is embarrassing. Well yeah, so okay, that outrageous side. Um, 2291 01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:52,559 Speaker 1: here's the thing about the receivers. You got to think 2292 01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:54,760 Speaker 1: about this Robert Foster was like when he was playing 2293 01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:56,920 Speaker 1: last year with all those things, Like the caller John 2294 01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:59,640 Speaker 1: just said he was the number two receiver on the 2295 01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:02,320 Speaker 1: Bills at that point because they they got rid of 2296 01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:06,400 Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin and Zay Jones then got elevated to the 2297 01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:09,800 Speaker 1: kind of the number one spot and then John Robert 2298 01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:11,760 Speaker 1: Foster got on the field then and they started hitting 2299 01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:17,519 Speaker 1: those deep passes. But think about this, Zay Jones finished 2300 01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:20,639 Speaker 1: the season as the top wide receiver on the team 2301 01:48:20,680 --> 01:48:24,880 Speaker 1: with fifty seven catches. He's the third wide receiver on 2302 01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:27,759 Speaker 1: the depth chart right now, behind John Brown and Cole Beasley. 2303 01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:32,879 Speaker 1: And behind him, who hasn't been playing yet is our estimation, 2304 01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:37,120 Speaker 1: was Andre Roberts, who has got a hamstring and who's 2305 01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:39,400 Speaker 1: got a quad not a hamstring, a quad muscle injury, 2306 01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:41,840 Speaker 1: and he hasn't been on the field yet, and Robert 2307 01:48:41,880 --> 01:48:45,840 Speaker 1: Foster is probably behind him and as well as Isaiah McKenzie. 2308 01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:48,920 Speaker 1: So Robert Foster, there are reasons for that, and I 2309 01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:51,040 Speaker 1: don't know what they are. Maybe you think Robert Foster 2310 01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:54,840 Speaker 1: is getting undersold by the Bill's coaching step, but there 2311 01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:56,960 Speaker 1: are reasons these other guys are playing ahead of him. 2312 01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:59,360 Speaker 1: And he does get some snaps he doesn't and he has. 2313 01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:01,639 Speaker 1: He didn't get a single target in the Giants game 2314 01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:04,519 Speaker 1: Robert Foster. There are reasons for that, and one of 2315 01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,439 Speaker 1: the reasons he got a lot of targets last year 2316 01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:08,920 Speaker 1: and the last half of the season are different from 2317 01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:11,639 Speaker 1: the reasons he's not getting him this year. The reasons 2318 01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:13,479 Speaker 1: he got a lot of targets last year they didn't 2319 01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:15,360 Speaker 1: have a running game. They didn't have time to throw 2320 01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,320 Speaker 1: the football. They sent him deep and let Josh Allen 2321 01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:21,400 Speaker 1: buy time and then heave it deep. That was their 2322 01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:24,519 Speaker 1: game plan, almost exclusively in their passing game a year ago. 2323 01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:26,439 Speaker 1: And that's why Robert Foster made Hay. It was a 2324 01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:30,520 Speaker 1: simple offense for him go deep. This year, it's more complicated, 2325 01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:32,640 Speaker 1: and he doesn't seem to excel at that as much 2326 01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:34,800 Speaker 1: as he did that a year ago. There are many 2327 01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:37,759 Speaker 1: more weapons that are much more reliable in the coaching 2328 01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:41,280 Speaker 1: staff likes better Cole Beasley, John Brown and Zay Jones 2329 01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:46,760 Speaker 1: and Isaiah McKenzie and Robert Foster and Andre Roberts. So 2330 01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:49,880 Speaker 1: Robert Foster's got a tall mountain to climb. I mean, 2331 01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:52,000 Speaker 1: I know you liked him and a lot of us 2332 01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:54,520 Speaker 1: loved what he did last year as a rookie undrafted 2333 01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:57,400 Speaker 1: free agent, but there are reasons he was there as 2334 01:49:57,439 --> 01:49:59,639 Speaker 1: a rookie undrafted free agent and all these other guys 2335 01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:02,680 Speaker 1: or where they are in the NFL, and those are 2336 01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,320 Speaker 1: being played out in the snap counts and the targets 2337 01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:07,120 Speaker 1: and the way the offense is being run this year. 2338 01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:11,559 Speaker 1: So it's I mean, Robert Foster at this point, he's 2339 01:50:11,640 --> 01:50:14,240 Speaker 1: on the field and he's active for these games. But 2340 01:50:14,320 --> 01:50:16,720 Speaker 1: when Andre Roberts comes back, who are you going to 2341 01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:23,280 Speaker 1: deactivate except Isaiah McKenzie or Robert Foster. That probably might 2342 01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:26,240 Speaker 1: be Robert Foster might be. So I mean, that's where 2343 01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:28,160 Speaker 1: he's at on the depth chart, and that's just because 2344 01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:30,439 Speaker 1: the team's gotten that much better around him. Thank for 2345 01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:32,080 Speaker 1: your call. We'll go to one more call here, Mike 2346 01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:35,400 Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Mike, go ahead, you're on the air.

Um, yes, 2348 01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:40,760 Speaker 1: I want to say, you know, it was a good game. 2349 01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:46,280 Speaker 1: Was a lot of honeysum. Thank god the Giants went 2350 01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:49,960 Speaker 1: off side with the field roll Kip didn't win Hash 2351 01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:52,320 Speaker 1: Drive You got those two million dollars. He's rid on 2352 01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:55,640 Speaker 1: them money, and that's good with him, even though and 2353 01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:59,280 Speaker 1: debating was at home. It's stunning me. That's crazy fan. 2354 01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:03,880 Speaker 1: While um, I'm happy that we got busy because we 2355 01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:07,479 Speaker 1: need him to field opening will be honest to going 2356 01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:11,200 Speaker 1: to the field goals and touched on to see when 2357 01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:16,120 Speaker 1: they Patriots. I think we're ten games and going to playoffs. 2358 01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:18,360 Speaker 1: So all right, thanks Mike. Yeah, I got ten wins. 2359 01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:21,280 Speaker 1: That was I'm not changing either. I'm not I got 2360 01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:24,479 Speaker 1: eleven plus you have eleven. I don't know where the 2361 01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:27,800 Speaker 1: plus comes. Plus is something other than a game. I 2362 01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:32,000 Speaker 1: win a game, you have a left Yeah, I have 2363 01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:36,120 Speaker 1: eleven wins for the season. Plus the plus means nothing, um, 2364 01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:40,920 Speaker 1: Sean mcgo I haven't decided what the plus. John McDermott 2365 01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:43,400 Speaker 1: talked to the media yesterday and he talked about getting 2366 01:51:43,439 --> 01:51:45,160 Speaker 1: set for this game. The bill is getting set for 2367 01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:47,840 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, the home opener. Here's what he had 2368 01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:49,519 Speaker 1: to say on how to get ready for your first 2369 01:51:49,560 --> 01:51:52,760 Speaker 1: home game. You know, we talked about a little bit 2370 01:51:52,800 --> 01:51:55,720 Speaker 1: this morning. We're first of all, we're excited to play 2371 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,040 Speaker 1: at home. It's good to be home, um in front 2372 01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:01,519 Speaker 1: of our fans and UM. Yet the preparation still has 2373 01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:04,479 Speaker 1: to be the same in terms of our process, and 2374 01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:07,120 Speaker 1: within that they have to understand that there are a 2375 01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:10,839 Speaker 1: little bit sometimes there's some some things we have to handle. Tickets, 2376 01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:13,120 Speaker 1: they're you know, all that process a little bit different. 2377 01:52:13,200 --> 01:52:14,800 Speaker 1: So we want to get that squared away as early 2378 01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:17,320 Speaker 1: as we can and get focused on our preparation. This 2379 01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:20,080 Speaker 1: is a good football team coming in here. Um, it's 2380 01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:21,560 Speaker 1: early in the season and we have a lot of 2381 01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:23,720 Speaker 1: work to do, and I think how we work this 2382 01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:26,519 Speaker 1: week and how we prepare we'll be key to our success. Steve, 2383 01:52:26,600 --> 01:52:29,479 Speaker 1: I've heard people talk about, oh, this is a trap 2384 01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:32,240 Speaker 1: game for the Bills. It's a trap game, which I 2385 01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:34,360 Speaker 1: think it's kind of a ridiculous if. If if you're 2386 01:52:34,439 --> 01:52:36,800 Speaker 1: anybody in the NFL, yes even the Patriots, and you 2387 01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:39,360 Speaker 1: get caught in a trap game, I think you're foolish. 2388 01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to know it's not college football. 2389 01:52:41,479 --> 01:52:44,720 Speaker 1: You're not playing you know, FCS schools, You're you're kind 2390 01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:47,200 Speaker 1: of even more much more evenly matched, and probably any 2391 01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:49,479 Speaker 1: other league. So it's not a trap game, right Bills 2392 01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:53,720 Speaker 1: and Bengals. Bengals are going too, They're not a trap game. 2393 01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:55,599 Speaker 1: If a team falls for a trap game. It's poor 2394 01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:58,360 Speaker 1: leadership at the top or somebody at the top made 2395 01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:00,640 Speaker 1: a mistake. You can't let your team get into that 2396 01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:04,040 Speaker 1: mindset and you have to take steps, active steps. But 2397 01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:07,800 Speaker 1: you know, during the preparation of that game to head 2398 01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:10,760 Speaker 1: that off, you know what I mean, Yeah, you got 2399 01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:12,720 Speaker 1: to preach that message. You got to think about you 2400 01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:15,320 Speaker 1: got to sell how important the game is. And you 2401 01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:17,280 Speaker 1: can't let a game, even if you think it is. 2402 01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:19,880 Speaker 1: If the players happen to think they've got this game 2403 01:53:19,960 --> 01:53:21,680 Speaker 1: in the bag, you've got to make sure they know 2404 01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:23,599 Speaker 1: how important it is. They don't let it get away 2405 01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:27,320 Speaker 1: and it stimulates their preparation. And that's what it is. 2406 01:53:27,400 --> 01:53:30,679 Speaker 1: And that's why m McDermott and all these guys, Brandon 2407 01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:32,800 Speaker 1: Bean and the coaching stats and the players all echo 2408 01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:36,839 Speaker 1: that it's a process. You don't treat this game differently 2409 01:53:36,920 --> 01:53:39,160 Speaker 1: because it's not different. You got to play it just 2410 01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:41,240 Speaker 1: as well and hard and prepare it just as well 2411 01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:43,720 Speaker 1: and as hard as you did for the last game 2412 01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:46,120 Speaker 1: that you won. Shan McDermot was asked about it yesterday. 2413 01:53:46,360 --> 01:53:48,800 Speaker 1: How do you keep your team grounded after starting a 2414 01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:50,640 Speaker 1: season two? And oh does he have to do that? 2415 01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:53,360 Speaker 1: Here's what he said. Here's what here with Sean mcdermot's 2416 01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:57,720 Speaker 1: answer to that question. Been around this league long enough 2417 01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:01,920 Speaker 1: to know that we got to continue to grow or 2418 01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:05,519 Speaker 1: not where we need to be, and you know, we've 2419 01:54:05,560 --> 01:54:08,559 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do. And the penalties, Um, 2420 01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:10,240 Speaker 1: I thought we lost our edge a little bit yet 2421 01:54:10,280 --> 01:54:13,400 Speaker 1: in yesterday's game, particular in the early part of the 2422 01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:16,280 Speaker 1: third quarter and the and the way we finished the game. 2423 01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:18,280 Speaker 1: Blush you. The way we finished the game. I didn't 2424 01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:19,760 Speaker 1: think we finished it the right way. So I was 2425 01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,160 Speaker 1: I was not happy with that. Yeah, it's funny. And 2426 01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:24,960 Speaker 1: as I heard the comments from coach McDermott and he 2427 01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:28,719 Speaker 1: jumped right on the penalties, I thought he's finding things 2428 01:54:28,800 --> 01:54:30,840 Speaker 1: to correct, you know what I mean, if this is 2429 01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:32,680 Speaker 1: what I'm going to talk about this week, because you know, 2430 01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:34,240 Speaker 1: I look today, I said, Yeah, I guess there's been 2431 01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:35,760 Speaker 1: a lot of penalties. Bills are right in the middle 2432 01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:38,080 Speaker 1: of the pack. I think they have fifteen sixteen penalties 2433 01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:40,240 Speaker 1: after two games, seven or eight per game. Not good. 2434 01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:42,760 Speaker 1: There've been some issues of penalties, but it's not like 2435 01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:45,000 Speaker 1: they're leading the league. They're in the middle of the pack. Yeah, 2436 01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:47,360 Speaker 1: it's not And it's not saying, hey, you gotta, you 2437 01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:50,200 Speaker 1: gotta get do this against these guys. You gotta you know, 2438 01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:52,600 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, listen, you got some problem. It's talked 2439 01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:54,200 Speaker 1: to his players saying, hey, we got some problems. We 2440 01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:56,800 Speaker 1: gotta fix. We got too many penalties, we didn't finish 2441 01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:59,240 Speaker 1: the game the right way. You gotta straighten that out, 2442 01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:02,240 Speaker 1: you know. And it's it's great to give them tangible 2443 01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:06,600 Speaker 1: aspects about the games they played so well, in tangible 2444 01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:08,120 Speaker 1: things that they can look at and say, you know what, 2445 01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:10,080 Speaker 1: He's right. I got to do that. And they keep 2446 01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:12,520 Speaker 1: their nose on the grindstone, just like you and me 2447 01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:15,760 Speaker 1: on the show, keeping their nose on the grindstone and 2448 01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:18,400 Speaker 1: trying to get better. And that's that's really the key 2449 01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:21,080 Speaker 1: to the whole thing. And that's why these trap games. 2450 01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't know in reason, I hadn't thought about this 2451 01:55:24,120 --> 01:55:27,240 Speaker 1: until we just had this brief conversation before the show 2452 01:55:27,240 --> 01:55:30,280 Speaker 1: and then this one. You really don't see that too 2453 01:55:30,400 --> 01:55:34,200 Speaker 1: much in the NFL because the game has become so 2454 01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't know whether the bad 2455 01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:39,440 Speaker 1: word homogenized. You know, there's not that much difference between 2456 01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:42,240 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins and a team like the pages where 2457 01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:44,520 Speaker 1: you go in there and they you know, obviously they did, 2458 01:55:44,720 --> 01:55:46,920 Speaker 1: you know they got beat badly, But man, you don't 2459 01:55:46,960 --> 01:55:49,040 Speaker 1: know that going in. There's a lot of doubt in 2460 01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:51,040 Speaker 1: everybody's minds about who's gonna win that game, and you 2461 01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:53,960 Speaker 1: don't know until it's over how good that team's gonna look. 2462 01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:58,920 Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, you're right. Trap games are for 2463 01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, for SEC teams playing you know, playing Division 2464 01:56:03,320 --> 01:56:05,520 Speaker 1: two football, not this not this week, Steve.

Yeah, I do, 2510 01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:26,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know that it's good. And it's the 2511 01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:31,800 Speaker 1: trend of players demanding asking to be traded, flexing their muscle. 2512 01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:33,760 Speaker 1: You know, Levan Bell sat out a year. He took 2513 01:58:33,800 --> 01:58:36,760 Speaker 1: a financial hit for that. Antonio Brown, some people think 2514 01:58:36,840 --> 01:58:40,400 Speaker 1: engineered his departure from the Raiders and subsequent signing by 2515 01:58:40,440 --> 01:58:43,440 Speaker 1: the dowing the Patriots. There are those who maintained that 2516 01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,800 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown insisted he would not come to Buffalo, Minca. 2517 01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:50,040 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick given permission by the Dolphins to find a trade. 2518 01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:53,320 Speaker 1: He found one. Went from the Dolphins to Pittsburgh last night. 2519 01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:56,560 Speaker 1: And now Jalen Ramsey of the Jacksonville Jaguars is looking 2520 01:58:56,600 --> 01:58:59,640 Speaker 1: for a trade. He wants out of Jacksonville's agent says 2521 01:59:00,080 --> 01:59:03,040 Speaker 1: the Jaguars to trade his client. Steve Young, who I 2522 01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:06,920 Speaker 1: consider one of the foremost observers of the NFL. Former 2523 01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:09,120 Speaker 1: quarterback Steve Young, had something to say about this on 2524 01:59:09,200 --> 01:59:12,520 Speaker 1: the ESPN last night. Here's what he said. But there's 2525 01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:15,960 Speaker 1: no mobility. It's like, where are you gonna go? It 2526 01:59:16,160 --> 01:59:18,960 Speaker 1: is now the NBA. I think obviously Antonio Brown food 2527 01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:20,600 Speaker 1: that he's ended up with the Patriots. Just act that 2528 01:59:20,720 --> 01:59:22,440 Speaker 1: way and you end up with the Patriots. And look 2529 01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:24,840 Speaker 1: what the Dolphins did. Lose a game the first game, 2530 01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:27,360 Speaker 1: like call them acallm agent, I want out of here. 2531 01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:30,680 Speaker 1: This is the NBA now and burnt office. In the NFL, 2532 01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:32,480 Speaker 1: you have to deal the fact that if you lose 2533 01:59:32,520 --> 01:59:34,120 Speaker 1: a couple of games or get into all sideline art 2534 01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:36,680 Speaker 1: to altercation. That guy's gonna demand a trade. He's a 2535 01:59:36,760 --> 01:59:38,800 Speaker 1: big name. What are you gonna do about it? And 2536 01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:41,000 Speaker 1: I think at this point it seems like they're capitulating 2537 01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:43,360 Speaker 1: to it. They gonna put out a hardline. There's no 2538 01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:45,480 Speaker 1: one gonna be even traded. They're gonna have to They're 2539 01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:47,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to come together as as a league and 2540 01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:50,200 Speaker 1: say we're not gonna do this because it'll be insane. 2541 01:59:50,480 --> 01:59:52,640 Speaker 1: Every every guy that's not a bad team's like, give 2542 01:59:52,720 --> 01:59:53,960 Speaker 1: me out of here, give me the Patriots, give me 2543 01:59:53,960 --> 01:59:56,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs called the agent and they'll start talking about it, 2544 01:59:56,600 --> 01:59:58,720 Speaker 1: and then it become true. Yeah, Steve Young, he's got 2545 01:59:58,760 --> 02:00:01,160 Speaker 1: an interesting point. A couple of zo. He is right, 2546 02:00:01,200 --> 02:00:04,000 Speaker 1: it's getting like the NBA. The Golden State Warriors took advantage, right, 2547 02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant is taking advantage of it a couple of times. 2548 02:00:07,040 --> 02:00:10,480 Speaker 1: It is like the NBA. I also think it's the 2549 02:00:10,640 --> 02:00:14,600 Speaker 1: way it's gonna have to be. Players with their increasing 2550 02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:21,040 Speaker 1: financial independence and they're increasing profile, celebrity profile, are gonna 2551 02:00:21,120 --> 02:00:22,840 Speaker 1: ask to get to the place they want to be. 2552 02:00:23,040 --> 02:00:24,400 Speaker 1: Is it good for the league, No, But I don't 2553 02:00:24,400 --> 02:00:26,000 Speaker 1: know what the league can do about it. Steve yeah, 2554 02:00:26,040 --> 02:00:28,360 Speaker 1: and I get it. One of the things that was 2555 02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:30,280 Speaker 1: brought up in the control room. Steve Young wrote a 2556 02:00:30,320 --> 02:00:33,080 Speaker 1: book after he retired it and it said it was 2557 02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:35,680 Speaker 1: told to me. He's when he was playing with the 2558 02:00:35,760 --> 02:00:38,040 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers early in his career, after he was 2559 02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:40,720 Speaker 1: in the USFL. Tampa Bay was going to trade him 2560 02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:43,600 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals, and Steve Young, the guy who you 2561 02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:47,680 Speaker 1: just there, said they're ranting about the players saying how 2562 02:00:47,720 --> 02:00:50,400 Speaker 1: they want it to be, and having it happened, he 2563 02:00:50,600 --> 02:00:53,200 Speaker 1: stopped the trade. He called the owner directly and said, 2564 02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:57,160 Speaker 1: you can't trade me. And here's the thing that is 2565 02:00:57,200 --> 02:01:00,919 Speaker 1: a little bit different than what we're talking about. Everybody's 2566 02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:03,680 Speaker 1: saying a little bit hyppocritical. For Steve Young to worry 2567 02:01:03,680 --> 02:01:05,280 Speaker 1: about these guys saying where they want to play and 2568 02:01:05,400 --> 02:01:07,440 Speaker 1: him saying he didn't want to be traded, it is 2569 02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:10,000 Speaker 1: a little different. If the team wants to trade you 2570 02:01:11,200 --> 02:01:13,360 Speaker 1: and you stop it, that's a little bit different than 2571 02:01:13,400 --> 02:01:16,440 Speaker 1: saying I want out of this organization. It's a little 2572 02:01:16,440 --> 02:01:18,160 Speaker 1: bit of the same, but it's a lot different as well. 2573 02:01:18,200 --> 02:01:21,000 Speaker 1: It's not the same exact example, but I will say this, 2574 02:01:24,520 --> 02:01:26,640 Speaker 1: you have to make if if you're gonna trade if 2575 02:01:26,680 --> 02:01:28,080 Speaker 1: you say you want out of this place here, I 2576 02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:29,800 Speaker 1: want out of this place, out out of this place here, 2577 02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:33,680 Speaker 1: these clubs, you have to have a willing partner, say 2578 02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:36,080 Speaker 1: where are you gonna where you want to go? It's 2579 02:01:36,080 --> 02:01:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting to see where this evolves too, 2580 02:01:38,680 --> 02:01:41,160 Speaker 1: because you're right, Murph. I mean, if these guys don't 2581 02:01:41,200 --> 02:01:43,640 Speaker 1: want to play, and we make a big deal out 2582 02:01:43,680 --> 02:01:46,600 Speaker 1: of culture here in Buffalo, you don't want anybody to 2583 02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:49,640 Speaker 1: blow that up over the course of a two week period, 2584 02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:52,320 Speaker 1: that you spent three years building up this this culture 2585 02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:55,480 Speaker 1: and to have it blown up by some guy who says, 2586 02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, this team stinks, they treated me badly, dada 2587 02:01:58,760 --> 02:02:03,920 Speaker 1: all this, Where are you gonna go? You know, are 2588 02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:05,720 Speaker 1: you gonna want that guy still on this team to 2589 02:02:06,240 --> 02:02:08,880 Speaker 1: ruin that ruin that What if he's a high draft pick? 2590 02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:11,440 Speaker 1: What if Ed Oliver turned into Antonio Brown all of 2591 02:02:11,480 --> 02:02:13,440 Speaker 1: a sudden, you got a lot invested in that guy, 2592 02:02:14,280 --> 02:02:16,720 Speaker 1: and if he wants out, you'd better get something good 2593 02:02:16,800 --> 02:02:20,440 Speaker 1: for him. But then, by the same token, I don't 2594 02:02:20,440 --> 02:02:22,240 Speaker 1: know why this doesn't happen if you're a team, if 2595 02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:24,600 Speaker 1: you're a player who wants out, and this just occurred 2596 02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:27,720 Speaker 1: to me, Murph, wouldn't saying you want to trade be 2597 02:02:27,800 --> 02:02:30,760 Speaker 1: traded from your team be conduct detrimental to that team? 2598 02:02:32,280 --> 02:02:35,120 Speaker 1: I would suspend the guy. Yeah, I think what Steve 2599 02:02:35,200 --> 02:02:38,560 Speaker 1: Young's talking about, and it's a it's a classic typical 2600 02:02:38,640 --> 02:02:41,800 Speaker 1: old guy rant. Is we're talking about control here, right? 2601 02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:44,320 Speaker 1: Who has control? Get it? Who has control? If you're 2602 02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:46,240 Speaker 1: a player, do I have control of my fate where 2603 02:02:46,320 --> 02:02:49,200 Speaker 1: I go? This has been the fight and for decades 2604 02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:51,160 Speaker 1: in all sports. You know, this is where free agency 2605 02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:54,640 Speaker 1: comes from. This is where Baseball's reserve clause forty years 2606 02:02:54,640 --> 02:02:57,280 Speaker 1: ago came from. Who has control about where I play 2607 02:02:57,320 --> 02:02:59,920 Speaker 1: and who I play for? Steve Young, again, it's a 2608 02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:02,440 Speaker 1: classic old guy rant, which I've heard before, and I 2609 02:03:02,560 --> 02:03:05,440 Speaker 1: understand it well. The team has control, And as you said, 2610 02:03:05,480 --> 02:03:09,080 Speaker 1: it's interesting to Steve Young made that argument based on 2611 02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:11,160 Speaker 1: what you told me about the book that he wrote. 2612 02:03:11,480 --> 02:03:14,960 Speaker 1: But um, I get it. Players. The more money they make, 2613 02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:19,360 Speaker 1: the more stature they gain, the bigger celebrities they are. 2614 02:03:19,480 --> 02:03:22,400 Speaker 1: They're like, well, shoot, I don't. I'm Kevin Durant. I 2615 02:03:22,400 --> 02:03:24,120 Speaker 1: don't want to play in Oklahoma City. I want to 2616 02:03:24,160 --> 02:03:26,480 Speaker 1: play with those great guys out west in Golden State 2617 02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:29,520 Speaker 1: or you know, hey, I'm Antonio Brown. Don't bury me 2618 02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:32,200 Speaker 1: in Oakland where those guys never win, where where you 2619 02:03:32,280 --> 02:03:34,280 Speaker 1: know they probably won't win this year. Send me to 2620 02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:38,160 Speaker 1: the premium team, the New England Patriots. They're gonna they're 2621 02:03:38,160 --> 02:03:40,200 Speaker 1: gonna have that right, They're no, they're gonna have that 2622 02:03:40,320 --> 02:03:42,600 Speaker 1: power to do that, not right, the power to do that, 2623 02:03:42,760 --> 02:03:44,960 Speaker 1: and they're gonna exercise that power whenever they can. And 2624 02:03:45,040 --> 02:03:46,560 Speaker 1: that's what I think we're looking at. The only thing 2625 02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:49,000 Speaker 1: that will stop it will be a team like the Patriots, 2626 02:03:50,040 --> 02:03:53,920 Speaker 1: who supposedly they find out about all the sexual misconduct 2627 02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:57,760 Speaker 1: allegations against Antonio Brown before the fact, they kind of 2628 02:03:57,800 --> 02:03:59,000 Speaker 1: know about this guy, they say, you know, and no, 2629 02:03:59,120 --> 02:04:02,160 Speaker 1: we don't want you. Thanks for thanks, but no thanks. 2630 02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:05,879 Speaker 1: Certainly it takes a level of skill to attain that stature, 2631 02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:09,200 Speaker 1: but it also takes a level of tolerance by the 2632 02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:12,080 Speaker 1: team you want to go play for, uh and you can. 2633 02:04:12,280 --> 02:04:14,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, I think the most important tolerance 2634 02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:17,200 Speaker 1: is tolerance for your salary. Do we want to pay 2635 02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:19,480 Speaker 1: that game as much? That's right, not about off field 2636 02:04:19,480 --> 02:04:21,720 Speaker 1: stuff as much as it's is he worth what that 2637 02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:24,640 Speaker 1: contract says? He's playing him right, and maybe it will, 2638 02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:30,240 Speaker 1: maybe the the standard for conduct will deteriorate to a 2639 02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:33,440 Speaker 1: point where it's commonplace for a team to look the 2640 02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:37,320 Speaker 1: other way for whatever allegations are right to some of them. 2641 02:04:37,360 --> 02:04:39,200 Speaker 1: And there's some teams that you can make that argument for, 2642 02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:41,960 Speaker 1: and there's and on both sides of it. I think 2643 02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:44,400 Speaker 1: it's a decision that it comes down from the guy 2644 02:04:44,960 --> 02:04:47,360 Speaker 1: who signs the checks for every team what kind of 2645 02:04:47,480 --> 02:04:51,960 Speaker 1: organization he wants to put together. And the Patriots have 2646 02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:55,320 Speaker 1: said had they known about this allegation that came out 2647 02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:58,480 Speaker 1: after they signed Antonio Brown, they would not have signed him. 2648 02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:01,600 Speaker 1: I don't know different our it's different path. You're going 2649 02:05:01,640 --> 02:05:04,800 Speaker 1: to say it now, well you can say it cut 2650 02:05:04,840 --> 02:05:07,440 Speaker 1: him now, you knoww you know, the allegations are there 2651 02:05:09,080 --> 02:05:11,120 Speaker 1: if you feel that strongly, right exactly, they don't feel 2652 02:05:11,120 --> 02:05:12,960 Speaker 1: that strongly about it. They don't feel nine million bucks 2653 02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,200 Speaker 1: strongly about it. They're gonna they're not gonna do this. 2654 02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:17,520 Speaker 1: Says well, we got this financial and that lets him 2655 02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:20,360 Speaker 1: off the hook. Right, So their principles are for or 2656 02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:22,960 Speaker 1: for higher you know, their principles are rentable. If they're 2657 02:05:22,960 --> 02:05:25,280 Speaker 1: gonna say that for nine million bucks, I'll look the 2658 02:05:25,360 --> 02:05:28,000 Speaker 1: other way. For whatever you did, I don't care because 2659 02:05:28,040 --> 02:05:30,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna cost me nine million bucks. Well, that, you know, 2660 02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:32,280 Speaker 1: kind of rings a little bit hollow. My point is. 2661 02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:36,760 Speaker 1: My point is there has to be a team that's 2662 02:05:36,800 --> 02:05:39,760 Speaker 1: willing to take whatever this guy is and whatever he 2663 02:05:39,880 --> 02:05:42,480 Speaker 1: purports to be onto their squad. Now, a guy like 2664 02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:46,040 Speaker 1: Minka Fitzpatrick, he's pretty widely accepted as a pretty good player, 2665 02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:49,560 Speaker 1: a very good player, and a pretty solid guy. And 2666 02:05:49,800 --> 02:05:54,040 Speaker 1: to see what he's seen in Miami, I think that's 2667 02:05:54,240 --> 02:05:57,160 Speaker 1: that's also a warning shot against these teams who want 2668 02:05:57,200 --> 02:06:01,480 Speaker 1: to tear it down. You may it may go further 2669 02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:05,240 Speaker 1: than you wanted to go. Um, you know, you might. 2670 02:06:05,480 --> 02:06:07,960 Speaker 1: You might have the Dolphins might have said, make a Fitzpatrick, 2671 02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:11,040 Speaker 1: we need him. But now even he's bailing on us, 2672 02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, And I think that's a I think that's 2673 02:06:14,160 --> 02:06:16,200 Speaker 1: maybe for me, maybe one of the good things that 2674 02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:17,960 Speaker 1: come out of this keeps your team from ever having 2675 02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:21,080 Speaker 1: an excuse that they're tearing it down. You know. It's 2676 02:06:21,120 --> 02:06:23,520 Speaker 1: an interesting development, and I think you know a lot 2677 02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:25,720 Speaker 1: about this. It is just like the NBA. Now it's 2678 02:06:25,760 --> 02:06:28,840 Speaker 1: getting there. There there is a it is a there's 2679 02:06:28,880 --> 02:06:31,680 Speaker 1: a lot of layers to that onion. Let's do true 2680 02:06:31,720 --> 02:06:33,480 Speaker 1: or false NFL True or False brought to you by 2681 02:06:33,560 --> 02:06:36,680 Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York's Chartists and Chiefs. True and false 2682 02:06:36,720 --> 02:06:38,480 Speaker 1: time and only a few minutes for this true or 2683 02:06:38,520 --> 02:06:41,440 Speaker 1: False number one. The Giants were right to name rookie 2684 02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:44,160 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and starting quarterback. I can listen arguments on 2685 02:06:44,320 --> 02:06:47,040 Speaker 1: both sides, um and we listen to some of them 2686 02:06:47,160 --> 02:06:51,000 Speaker 1: from from um our guests that want o'clock today, Kyle Brandt, 2687 02:06:51,880 --> 02:06:55,960 Speaker 1: But I say false and and and in this sense, 2688 02:06:56,400 --> 02:07:00,120 Speaker 1: Elia has not played poorly, really badly in the a 2689 02:07:00,160 --> 02:07:02,400 Speaker 1: few games. And I think as somebody, and I think 2690 02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,440 Speaker 1: it was Kyle Brandt said on our show, Well yeah, 2691 02:07:04,480 --> 02:07:06,240 Speaker 1: but it's the same old Eli. You know, you're down 2692 02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:07,880 Speaker 1: by a couple of touchdowns and he just sort of 2693 02:07:07,960 --> 02:07:10,080 Speaker 1: plodding along. Well, that's who he is. That's how he 2694 02:07:10,160 --> 02:07:12,760 Speaker 1: became a Super Bowl MVP two times. That's how he 2695 02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:16,160 Speaker 1: has carved his path into the to the Pro Football 2696 02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:19,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. You're two games down, You're not ten 2697 02:07:19,160 --> 02:07:22,680 Speaker 1: games down. Daniel Jones, I would think needs tons of development. 2698 02:07:22,880 --> 02:07:24,480 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go false with this one. But I 2699 02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:26,720 Speaker 1: understand the argument why they would want to do it 2700 02:07:26,840 --> 02:07:30,360 Speaker 1: here that given up on the season. Yeah, which is 2701 02:07:30,360 --> 02:07:33,320 Speaker 1: too early, right, it's way too early for that. They 2702 02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:35,280 Speaker 1: have no one to blame but themselves. They can blame 2703 02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:38,440 Speaker 1: Eli all they want. It's not his fault. It's their fault. Eli, 2704 02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:43,800 Speaker 1: and you're and you said it. Their rhetoric themselves is 2705 02:07:43,840 --> 02:07:46,080 Speaker 1: their own. They're digging their own grave. You knew what 2706 02:07:46,200 --> 02:07:48,200 Speaker 1: Eli was. Why didn't you give him what it was 2707 02:07:48,200 --> 02:07:50,160 Speaker 1: gonna take for him to be successful? Instead of trading 2708 02:07:50,200 --> 02:07:53,440 Speaker 1: away Odell Beckham Junior, instead of letting all these guys 2709 02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:56,480 Speaker 1: free agents walk, or having or sign any free agents 2710 02:07:56,520 --> 02:07:58,120 Speaker 1: so late in their career, you were never going to 2711 02:07:58,160 --> 02:08:01,600 Speaker 1: be able to sustain it if your fault. You got 2712 02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:04,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback who's been a two time MVP of the 2713 02:08:04,120 --> 02:08:06,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and yet you let the team around him 2714 02:08:07,280 --> 02:08:09,560 Speaker 1: deteriorate to the point where he can't win. You know 2715 02:08:09,720 --> 02:08:12,000 Speaker 1: exactly what it takes for Eli Manning to win, and 2716 02:08:12,120 --> 02:08:13,800 Speaker 1: you won't give it to him. Whose fault is that? 2717 02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:17,960 Speaker 1: It's yours? So you say false, say yeah, no, you 2718 02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:20,520 Speaker 1: should change him now? But why why would you get 2719 02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:23,360 Speaker 1: Why would you start a season like this? Why would 2720 02:08:23,360 --> 02:08:26,840 Speaker 1: you even start a season like this, So you say true, Yeah, 2721 02:08:26,880 --> 02:08:30,200 Speaker 1: it's true, it's true, but that they're idiots for wait 2722 02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:35,560 Speaker 1: until week two. Week two, one more tu or false. 2723 02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:38,760 Speaker 1: Patriots defense will match the nineteen thirty seven Bears by 2724 02:08:38,840 --> 02:08:42,760 Speaker 1: holding the Jets without a touchdown. Yeah, I don't see 2725 02:08:42,800 --> 02:08:45,360 Speaker 1: a touchdown coming, sorry, Jets fans. If the Browns can 2726 02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:48,720 Speaker 1: do it right, the Patriots are gonna say, sure, Kim, Yeah, 2727 02:08:48,760 --> 02:08:50,480 Speaker 1: I think that's true. All right, there you go. NFL 2728 02:08:50,560 --> 02:08:53,200 Speaker 1: true or false. I'll resigned to that or I'll resigned 2729 02:08:53,240 --> 02:08:56,760 Speaker 1: to that. Are we Yeah?

It was a lot of fun. 2747 02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:43,600 Speaker 1: East Roa Blue Devils did a nice job that night. 2748 02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:45,720 Speaker 1: It was good at Pro Sports high School Coaches of 2749 02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:47,680 Speaker 1: the Week. Steve and I coming back with more. One 2750 02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:50,560 Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalaida Health from the Seneca Studio. 2751 02:09:50,680 --> 02:10:05,920 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio Time for what have we 2752 02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:08,640 Speaker 1: learned from today's show. It is brought to you by Skyworks, 2753 02:10:08,920 --> 02:10:13,000 Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bill. Skyworks, 2754 02:10:13,040 --> 02:10:15,480 Speaker 1: what do we learned to A good show today? Solid show? Today? 2755 02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:19,120 Speaker 1: Arthur Moats joined us former Bills linebacker, former Steelers linebacker, 2756 02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:22,400 Speaker 1: now a radio host in Pittsburgh, talking about the Seelers 2757 02:10:22,480 --> 02:10:25,840 Speaker 1: make a trade for Manka Fitzpatrick. Last night. Ben Roethlisberger's 2758 02:10:25,840 --> 02:10:28,880 Speaker 1: season is over. We asked Arthur Moats if Roethlisberger will 2759 02:10:28,920 --> 02:10:32,640 Speaker 1: retire after this injury rehab is done. Here's what he said. 2760 02:10:34,560 --> 02:10:36,240 Speaker 1: A lot of us initially thought that he wanted to 2761 02:10:36,280 --> 02:10:38,600 Speaker 1: be coming back just because of him having to have 2762 02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:41,880 Speaker 1: a season ending surgery at this stage of his career, 2763 02:10:42,320 --> 02:10:44,560 Speaker 1: but he released a statement and through his social media 2764 02:10:44,760 --> 02:10:47,360 Speaker 1: that said he still has two years remaining on his 2765 02:10:47,680 --> 02:10:50,320 Speaker 1: contract extension and he plans to fulfill them. So I 2766 02:10:50,400 --> 02:10:52,240 Speaker 1: really think it's going to come down to how his 2767 02:10:52,560 --> 02:10:56,560 Speaker 1: rehab goes and ultimately how he's filling once he's completely healthy. 2768 02:10:56,600 --> 02:10:58,080 Speaker 1: If he feels that he still has enough in the 2769 02:10:58,160 --> 02:11:00,680 Speaker 1: tank to be productive, I think we will see him again. 2770 02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:03,520 Speaker 1: But if he feels that he doesn't have it anymore, 2771 02:11:03,520 --> 02:11:07,120 Speaker 1: I think I can definitely understand retiring. Arthur Moatson ben 2772 02:11:07,240 --> 02:11:10,040 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's future. We had our buddy Kyle Brandt from the 2773 02:11:10,160 --> 02:11:12,280 Speaker 1: NFL Network. He is one of the hosts of Good 2774 02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:14,600 Speaker 1: Morning Football. He comes on the show with us every 2775 02:11:14,640 --> 02:11:18,240 Speaker 1: Tuesday at one o'clock. He was hilarious as usual today, 2776 02:11:18,280 --> 02:11:20,040 Speaker 1: but he wasn't funny about this when he asked about 2777 02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:22,720 Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense and just how good this Buffalo defense 2778 02:11:22,800 --> 02:11:27,120 Speaker 1: might be. Here's what Kyle brand had to say. I mean, 2779 02:11:27,280 --> 02:11:28,720 Speaker 1: I love it. This is what it was gonna be 2780 02:11:28,880 --> 02:11:31,240 Speaker 1: under McDermott, right, I mean, it's reminded me of a 2781 02:11:31,320 --> 02:11:33,720 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, the Tyrod Taylor season, except I 2782 02:11:33,800 --> 02:11:36,520 Speaker 1: think we have a better quarterback now. And look, there's 2783 02:11:36,560 --> 02:11:39,720 Speaker 1: this sense with the defense of all Right, so the 2784 02:11:39,880 --> 02:11:43,200 Speaker 1: opener against the Jets did maybe the Jets didn't have 2785 02:11:43,320 --> 02:11:46,240 Speaker 1: it and frankly, looking back now, I can't say this 2786 02:11:46,400 --> 02:11:48,360 Speaker 1: for sure, but I'm not sure that Sam Donald was 2787 02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:50,320 Speaker 1: right for that game. Was what I ended up happening 2788 02:11:50,360 --> 02:11:52,640 Speaker 1: to him. He didn't look like himself. Shortly after the 2789 02:11:52,680 --> 02:11:56,040 Speaker 1: game he comes out. So the Jets, the Giants obviously broken. 2790 02:11:56,600 --> 02:11:58,640 Speaker 1: When is the Bills demon's gonna get a test? When 2791 02:11:58,720 --> 02:12:01,680 Speaker 1: are they really gonna get Andy Dalton's throwing the ball 2792 02:12:01,720 --> 02:12:03,680 Speaker 1: around some shirt But it's the Bengals. They just got 2793 02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:06,360 Speaker 1: a house by San Francisco. We'll see in week four. 2794 02:12:06,440 --> 02:12:08,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we know who we're playing week four. We 2795 02:12:08,360 --> 02:12:10,040 Speaker 1: know I've called the Bills. We now it must have 2796 02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:12,360 Speaker 1: done two weeks got it. But I'm excited about it. 2797 02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:15,800 Speaker 1: I really feel that way. We can't start talking about 2798 02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:18,680 Speaker 1: week four, Steve, not yet, although you want to talk. No, 2799 02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:20,640 Speaker 1: we can't, like we know what's out there, and we 2800 02:12:20,720 --> 02:12:22,480 Speaker 1: know the Bills. You know, it's a home opener. The 2801 02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:24,160 Speaker 1: Bengals are owing two, the Bills are two and oh, 2802 02:12:24,240 --> 02:12:26,480 Speaker 1: but you got to win this game, Kyle, Yeah, Kyle 2803 02:12:26,520 --> 02:12:29,640 Speaker 1: Brant was right. Week four's the yard stick. No matter 2804 02:12:29,720 --> 02:12:33,640 Speaker 1: what happens in Week three to the Bengals, barring sun, 2805 02:12:33,720 --> 02:12:35,280 Speaker 1: even if it's a close game one way or the 2806 02:12:35,320 --> 02:12:37,240 Speaker 1: other and we go two and one or or three 2807 02:12:37,320 --> 02:12:41,160 Speaker 1: and oz, it's not gonna be anything. If if if 2808 02:12:41,240 --> 02:12:43,240 Speaker 1: you're two and one going into the Week four game 2809 02:12:43,280 --> 02:12:46,280 Speaker 1: against New England and you win that game, people are 2810 02:12:46,320 --> 02:12:49,200 Speaker 1: still over the moon. And it doesn't matter whether you 2811 02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:52,280 Speaker 1: beat or lose to Cincinnati. Betters don't tell me better. 2812 02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:55,240 Speaker 1: It's tiebreakers, it matters, and of course it matters. But 2813 02:12:55,360 --> 02:12:57,400 Speaker 1: in your in your mind's eye, the fan base and 2814 02:12:57,480 --> 02:12:59,520 Speaker 1: the and the national media, when you beat New England, 2815 02:13:00,160 --> 02:13:02,160 Speaker 1: that says more about anything that happened the first three 2816 02:13:02,200 --> 02:13:05,240 Speaker 1: weeks of the season. The yardstick is Week four, not 2817 02:13:06,320 --> 02:13:08,960 Speaker 1: maybe the cumulative effect of the three games, but man 2818 02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:10,920 Speaker 1: oh man, that Week four game, it's big is the 2819 02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:13,720 Speaker 1: yards to talk about this. Don't discount this week's game. Please. Oh, 2820 02:13:13,760 --> 02:13:16,160 Speaker 1: I'm not discounting, and I'm just saying in the consciousness 2821 02:13:16,200 --> 02:13:18,040 Speaker 1: of the media and everything. Yeah, I think in the 2822 02:13:18,160 --> 02:13:20,520 Speaker 1: team and the and the mechanics of the league. You know, 2823 02:13:20,720 --> 02:13:23,120 Speaker 1: it's as important as any game on the schedule. But 2824 02:13:23,240 --> 02:13:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm telling you what the perception of this that game 2825 02:13:25,960 --> 02:13:28,760 Speaker 1: is different.
