1
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: At a Steve tester who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: player for Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: the stratiphere of normalcy here. We're right, they're back out

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: of the field. It's Thursday. We're closer to the game now,

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Monday night football. We gotta wait through the entire weekend

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: of action before we get to the bills, and we

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: have to wait all day Monday. This is Yeah, it's

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: reminded me a little bit now. For the first I

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: have zero patience when we're playing on Monday night because

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: because I was out of town for like three weekends

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: or two. Yes, we remember badly. Only now does it

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more like twenty twenty when you

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: can't wait for the next game, you know, week because

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: because Week one stunk, had to get over that when

16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: it's a week two wasn't the same. In three, four

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: and five, Week two was pretty good. Anytime you'll shut

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: out the Dolphins and just wax him in their place

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: was good. That's pretty taste good. But anyway, but now

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: this now it's getting to the point where it's kind

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: of like twenty twenty because I was doing the games

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: on radio last year, right and so it was I

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: was like one of the few people who was watching

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: these home games in the stadium right there. And so

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: it's I'm kind of getting back into that mindset of

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: man wins the next game, come on, come on, come on,

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: come on, going back and watching these games. I was

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: watching Tennessee game Tennessee Jacksonville this morning a little bit. Um. Yeah,

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: it's it's fun. It's a fun season. It's been a

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,639
Speaker 1: fun couple of seasons now. And there was good news

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: on the injury front as Matt Milano returns to practice

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: today after missing last week's game with the hamstring injury,

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: and coach where he left it is very much in

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: a day to day scenario. He said, we'll see how

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: he does today and take it from there, which is

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: probably the best way to go. Hamstrings are tricky. And

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: although he was asked, Steve, you've got the buye next week,

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: is there a temptation to sit him again this week

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: because that would give him the equivalent of three full

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: weeks before he plays again to get that hamstring right,

41
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: And coach did say he's aware that that is out there,

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: but it sounds like this is something where they're going

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: to see how he comes through the week and then

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: probably just make a decision at the end of the week. Yes,

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: you're ready, go get him, or you know what, let's

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: just let's just put a cork in this for now

47
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: and we'll see in week eight after the bye. He

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: didn't say he was limited. He say he's gonna practice. Well, yes,

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: and we'll have to see what he's listed as when

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: the injury report comes out of day. I'm just for me.

51
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't do this very much, and I think it's

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: crazy to do it, but I'm gonna do it anyway, because, yeah,

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: wild man, he didn't really sound hopeful when he said

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: he was going to go out and practice. You know,

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Coach didn't sense. I didn't get a sense that he

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: was like, we're gonna see how he did. I think

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: he tries. I think he tries right so that he

58
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: doesn't give anybody an indication like I'm overly optimistic or

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm very pessimist. Yes, he just tries to stay right

60
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: at today. I got the pessimistic side of you did. Yeah,

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: I did. He's gonna be out there, We're gonna see

62
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: how it goes and I don't know whether that is

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: like nonchalanting, yeah he's one hundred percent. He probably could

64
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: have gone this last week if we don't wanted to

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: push it, or but but then asking if hey, if

66
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: he's you know, are you attempted to keep him out?

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: The problem is the thing is this The only time

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: that becomes an issue is if he gets one hundred

69
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: percent late in the week, Like he's not one hundred

70
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: percent today, but in two days tracking that way he

71
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent. Then it's like, oh, you know,

72
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: can he practice, can he get ready to play? Is

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: he gonna be good? Or is it gonna be just

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: a nip and tuck thing where you think he could

75
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: be Because I mean that's when you get into this

76
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: scenario of you know, dragging it along well and I

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: think it I think it's largely predicated on what was

78
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: the severity of the hamstring injury. Is it a Grade

79
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: one strain where it's just wise to keep him out

80
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: a week so it doesn't get any worse because he

81
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: had one of those scenarios last year. It goes deep

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: one at a hamstring injury missed week two, it goes

83
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: deeper than just saying he can play, he's ready one

84
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: hundred percent, and he's not because not only he all

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: right physically, yeah he's one hundred percent, he can go. Well,

86
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't practiced for two weeks, right, he's not prepared

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: to play. He's not in the gameplay, he hasn't taken reps.

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: He hasn't it's been a long time since he's been

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: on the field. That means something. So physically he may

90
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: be ready, but he's not prepared, you know what I'm saying.

91
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: If he can be prepared and one hundred percent, then

92
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: he's in. Forget about the bye week. Nobody cares. He's

93
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: if he's if he's physically one hundred percent ready to go,

94
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: probably Matt Milana, what one hundred percent physically without a

95
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: week of practice is as good as you need him

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: to be to be out there, you know what I'm saying,

97
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: Because he's he's a three year guy in this system

98
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: for your guy in the system, so he'll know what

99
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: he's doing. But that's the that's the only gray area

100
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: there is because if if he's not one hundred percent,

101
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: or if he's not yeah, if he's not one hundred percent,

102
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't play. Period. But if he is, yeah, I

103
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: think he get him out there, don't. You don't care

104
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: about the bye week or you know, taking an extra

105
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: week off being safe, and if he's ready, he's ready.

106
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: It seems simple. Yeah, yeah, and it's all I think

107
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: it's all going to be based on what was the

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: severity of the injury in the first place, and that

109
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: will largely determine how much he practices today, how he

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: makes his way through the week, and then ultimately whether

111
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: he plays or not. It's not Monday night and he

112
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: gets at the benefit of an extra day as well

113
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: with the game being Monday night, so right, you know,

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: there are all these things that at least seem to

115
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: be working in his favor. So there's that. We'll have

116
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: the injury report out today, hopefully before we're off the

117
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: air at three, and we'll pass that along to you

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: as soon as we get it. Other news and notes,

119
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: it looks like Tuah is back practicing for the first

120
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: time since Week two when he was injured on the

121
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: hit by aj Epenessa, so trending towards being in the lineup.

122
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Certainly by the time the Bills play him post by

123
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: they are the first game out of the bye in

124
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: Week eight, so all indications, provided he doesn't get reinjured

125
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: or that he'll probably be the starting quarterback against the

126
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Bills in Week eight, and with the time he has

127
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: missed Steve he is looking at a nine game job

128
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: audition for the future, because the Dolphins have to be saying,

129
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: make the most of these nine games, guy, prove to

130
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: me that you are the guy. Otherwise we're back in

131
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: the draft looking again. If he's horrible, I wonder what

132
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: the job security of one Brian Flores. It puts Bills

133
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: fans in a in a weird predicament a little bit

134
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: because a lot of Bills fans have spent the last

135
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: two years, last certainly two of the last four years

136
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: defending their quarterback to people who were saying he's not

137
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: the guy and he's never gonna be the guy. Right now.

138
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: He last year obviously he proved he was and now

139
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: we're moving along with that. But then, you know, Bills

140
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: fans know what it's like to have a young quarterback

141
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: that everybody's down on us and you guys got the

142
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: wrong guy and they're laughing at you. That's where the

143
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: Dolphin fans are now. So the Bills fans kind of

144
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: if you, if you're any kind of person with any

145
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: kind of memory, you realize it's it's not all that

146
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: cool to have people bagging on your young quarterback. Give

147
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: him a chance to be successful. But that's where Bills,

148
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: that's where you and I have been. We haven't liked

149
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: him from the beginning. Yeah, and whether we're right or

150
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: wrong kind is irrelevant to the Dolphin fans. They don't

151
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: care what we think. But we were. We were in

152
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: their spot for two years with Josh. Yeah, they're believing

153
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: in our heart that he was. There's a few differences there, Oh,

154
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: just a few. Those are the differences that you and

155
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: I saw from the beginning. And we still Josh's six five,

156
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty eight pounds with a rocket arm

157
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: and the ability to run like a de TOOLSI and

158
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: to is six foot barely two hundred pounds average arm,

159
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: not supermobile, coming off a major injury in college, and

160
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: is a system quarterback. Well, okay, yeah, here's the thing.

161
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: But now the Dolphins are in the exact same spot

162
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: the Bills are, And as Bills fans, secretly, maybe not

163
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: so secretly, you're hoping that they hang on to that guy,

164
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: because you know he's not the guy they'll dwell in mediocrity. Yes, forever,

165
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: hang on to him. Don't waste that pick you can't give.

166
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: You gotta support him. He needs, he needs just a

167
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: couple things before he gets it right, and you're gonna

168
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: be fine with him that. You know. That's where Bills

169
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: fans are for the Dolphins because as long as they've

170
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: got that guy and we've got this guy, yeah, we win.

171
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Maybe we should start a tie yourself to to a campaign.

172
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Two is the guy tie to Tuah? Buffalo Bills fans

173
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: are harping that Tuah is a fantastic qu to believe

174
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins, we've even consider getting rid of him,

175
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: were moving on from this early point of his career

176
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: absolutely terrified of that guy. Right. So it's a weird

177
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: place because Bills, you gotta you gotta look yourself in

178
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: the eyes of Bills fans. And I was there, We

179
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: were there, man, I get it. You know. Bucks Eagles

180
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: tonight looks like Brady is going to play Gronkowski and

181
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: one of their top two linebackers, Lavante David out of

182
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: the lineup, so there'll be a little bit shorthanded there

183
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's going to make a tremendous

184
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: difference in the outcome. It's pretty crazy when you think

185
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Oh no, they don't have Gronk, oh, but

186
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: they have Cameron brad No, j Howard what like. They

187
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: gotta be one of the deepest teams at the tight

188
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: end position I've ever scene. Yeah. There, it's that's gonna

189
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: shape up to be a pretty dang good game. And

190
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: to me, there was never a doubt Tom Brady was

191
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: going to play thumb or not from the way he

192
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: handled the first question about it when he walked into

193
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: his press conference this week and said, and he has

194
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: thumb wrap, and they asked him about he says, I'm

195
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I think it's just baggage that every

196
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: football player deals with. Certainly, it's on his throwing hand

197
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: and all that. But if it was an issue, we

198
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: would have heard more about it now, right, and he

199
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: would have and he would have been forced to be

200
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: a bigger part of their injury report. You'd be hearing

201
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: about it if it was. I think it's just I

202
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: think it's a hangnail and he's gonna move on now.

203
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: It's not a hangnail, but I'm saying that's kind of

204
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: the severity of it. He's gonna play through it. We

205
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: have a full show for you today, fully loaded here

206
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: as in about twenty minutes or so, we will have

207
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: ESPN's Field Yates with us. We'll have him comment on

208
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Bill's Chiefs from Sunday night, look ahead to Bill's Titans

209
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: on Monday night, and he's also going to give us

210
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: his ultimate fantasy lineup, presented by FanDuel in about twenty

211
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: minutes time, So stay tuned for that, especially if you're

212
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: a fantasy player in need of some help, or you

213
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: play fantasy in the way Field puts together his lineup

214
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: with a cap which can always be challenging from week

215
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: to week, So stay tuned for that second hour of

216
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: the show. Oh, I'd say about fifty minutes from now,

217
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: we'll have ESPN Titans beat reporter Toron Davenport joining us.

218
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: He's really plugged into the Titans, so we'll get his

219
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: thoughts as to what the heck's going on down there.

220
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: They just wax the Jaguars pretty good, but the Jaguars

221
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: are a winless team, and I know the Bill has

222
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: had an easy schedule, but that's a game that the

223
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: Titans are expected to win and they did thirty seven

224
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: sixteen want it pretty handily. But there are a few

225
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: chinks in the armor down there that I'm sure if

226
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: Steve and I will ask him about. So we'll see

227
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: where things stand there. And then final half hour of

228
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: the show, we hope to have Tarn Johnson, who is

229
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: part of a new Beyond Blue and Red featured piece

230
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: on Buffalo bills dot com, the Bills YouTube channel, and

231
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: other outlets media outlets for the Bills, basically called Going

232
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: the Distance, which is a playoff is one hundred one

233
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: yard interception return and the divisional playoff against Baltimore that

234
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: broke the game completely open. So we look forward to

235
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: talking to Tarn about that, gets maybe some behind the

236
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: scenes details on the whole filming of that, because they

237
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: kind of had him relive the interception return on the field.

238
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: He's walking around with the football and stuff, so kind

239
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: of neat the way they did that. So I want

240
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: to talk to him about that and how it all

241
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: came down and how he's kicking. But this season, I mean,

242
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: he's playing really well and also, by the way, just

243
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: got a new bag of money contract extension. Good for him.

244
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, I had no idea. In

245
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: most of us, we had no idea Terren Johnson was

246
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: even in the process of renegotiating or getting a new deal.

247
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: Nobody knew he was in the last year of his

248
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: rookie deal. We knew it was yeah, yeah, we knew

249
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: he might go away after the season. But I'll say this,

250
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: during the first couple of weeks of the season before

251
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: he signed the deal, I noticed him making plays. He

252
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: was all over the field. He had a pick that

253
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: was called back against the Washington football team. The next

254
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: play he was right in the middle of another almost interception.

255
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: He had also done a couple of things in the

256
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of this sea. He's just showing

257
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: up everywhere. Well. He had the forest fumble on the

258
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: fourth and fourth down go for it played by the

259
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins in Week two. Him Alto hops on the fumble there,

260
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: he had to hit the jar of the ball loose.

261
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: He was really really playing well right before he signed

262
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: the contract. Even in the Pittsburgh game and the opener

263
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's in the red zone there, he's got Eric Ebron

264
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: six five tight end and he makes the pass breakup

265
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: at the goal line in the end zone, at the

266
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: tunnel end. I mean, that might have been one of

267
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: the best pass breakups I've seen for a five ten

268
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: guy on a six five tight end. He out leaps

269
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: him for the ball to knock it away at a

270
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: nice show. So he's been playing at a high level.

271
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: And when you see that and you talk it, the

272
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: contract he signed to me seems, wow, we can that's

273
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: a contract the Bills can live with, yea, and certainly

274
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: Taren can live with it as well. It's it's going

275
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: to change his life probably and for the better hopefully.

276
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: And it's just good to see a guy who was

277
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: really showing up, you know, get rewarded for it. And

278
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: that's been that's been one of the most It seems

279
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: simple when you say it the way we say it

280
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: on this show, but man, when guys work hard and

281
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: play well, they get rewarded in this organization YEA, one

282
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: way or another. In this case, we're talking about a

283
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: new contract, but in other cases you're talking about practice

284
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: squad guys who all of a sudden, I wonder why,

285
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, why is Duke Johnson elevated this week? He's

286
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: actually on the field else you find out because he

287
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: was playing great, practicing grade, working hard, doing everything better,

288
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: and he showed up and they rewarded him with a game.

289
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: Then you see other it's the same thing with other guys.

290
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Why is this guy, why is this offensive lineman getting

291
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: this week? Well, because he's been playing, you know all

292
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: that stuff. It's really it sounds simple, but so many

293
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: teams don't spend the energy or invest in those rewards

294
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: because they think it'll somehow upset the apple cart. If

295
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: a guy who's established player has to sit down for

296
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: a minute while this other guy who's been working hard

297
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: and doing things gets a reward, they think somehow it's

298
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna throw a big upfield evil in the locker room.

299
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: And actually just the opposite is the case. It motivates

300
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: everybody in the locker room. And it has been one

301
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: of the things about this organization that I think has

302
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: aided in its ascension is the fact that every guy

303
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: on a fifty three man roster and all the guys

304
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: on the practice squad feel like the club is engaged

305
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: with them personally. And I can't say enough about how

306
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: hard that is to accomplish. And yet you know, here

307
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: we are Yeah, it has been one of the things

308
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: that has set this organization apart and one of the

309
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: reasons they've got a program. It doesn'tee me like anybody's duplicating, right,

310
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: And you know, we think about some of the places

311
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: where the Bills stubbed their toe last season on a

312
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: fourteen and three campaign in the regular season. One of

313
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: those places was where they'll be returning here on Monday

314
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: night at Tennessee Nissan Stadium, prime time. And last year's

315
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: game in Week five was a complete scheduling debacle. As

316
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: we all know, Tennessee had an outbreak with COVID upwards

317
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: at nineteen twenty. Players coaches, they basically got isolated, put

318
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: on an island. A game with Pittsburgh got moved to

319
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's bye week, and then the following week the Bills

320
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: got jerked around as to who they were playing when

321
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: they were playing, the order in which they were playing

322
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: the Titans in the Chiefs, and then they got about

323
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: forty eight hours notice that they're playing the Titans on

324
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: a Tuesday in Nashville, get on a plane and get

325
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: down there. Let's just say it did not leave a

326
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: savory table in the mouth of any of the players,

327
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: let alone the coaches, and they're not going to say

328
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: anything about it this week. But I'm telling you right now,

329
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: the gas pedal is going to be pushed to the

330
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: floor from the moment that ball is kicked off at

331
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: eight fifteen on Monday night. Yeah, so that's why we

332
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: are asking you because I'm curious, and Steve kind of

333
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: came up with this question, which I think is a

334
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: good one. How will the twenty twenty one Bills versus

335
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: Titans matchup be different than last year's What is going

336
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: to be different about the game, the elements surrounding the game,

337
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: maybe even your emotions going into the game based on

338
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: what happened last year. Let us know at eight oh

339
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

340
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: two five fifty, or you can hit us up on

341
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet at one bills five. I'll say this

342
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 1: and this. I'll give sal A Capaccio some credit for this.

343
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: He came up with this, Yester. I didn't realize this,

344
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: but last year when they went down there yet we

345
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: asked the question, is what's going to be different this year?

346
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: Listen to the lineup of the Bills defense from a

347
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: year ago was Trent Murphy at Oliver Harrison, phil up

348
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes up front. You can bet two of those.

349
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: Three of those guys are going to be different. Two

350
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: of those guys anyway, Yeah, great, Russo's star instead of

351
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips. Jerry Hughes might be out there, but it's

352
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna be Rousseau and those guys. Then it's gonna be

353
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: Tremayne Edmonds of course, and then Terrell Dodson was in

354
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: there last year, cam Lewis was out there last year,

355
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: and Dean marlow was out there along with Josh Norman

356
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: and of course poor year in Hyde. A lot of

357
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: different faces this year than last year on the defensive

358
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: side of the football. And we still don't know if

359
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: Malone was going to be out there, but it's certainly

360
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: a possibility. But you got Trent Murphy, Harrison Phillips, Terrell Dodson,

361
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: Cam Lewis and Dean Marlowe five guys or and Josh Norman.

362
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: Six out of the eleven guys are going to be

363
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: absolutely different than they were a year ago when they

364
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: played on a Tuesday night. That's pretty remarkable considering who

365
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: they were without for that game. I don't know I

366
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: think it. I'm not saying that the Titans aren't going

367
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: to give him a game. I think they will absolutely.

368
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: I maintain that the Titans are one of the most

369
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: mentally tough teams that I think exists in this league

370
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: right now. When that team looks like they're dead and buried,

371
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: they just keep grinding. I just think it's a reflection

372
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: of their coach, Vrabel, who was, you know, a blue

373
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: collar linebacker type. So I expect them to battle for

374
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: sixteen minutes. But I don't know. There's something in the

375
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: back of my head that just thinks what the Bills

376
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to put on the field in

377
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: all three phases, it's just simply going to be overwhelming.

378
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: I gotta take care of the football, as we know,

379
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I just I know. We had

380
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: Kyle Branton earlier this week, Steve, and he picked the

381
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: Bills twenty one twenty, so he's expecting a nail biter,

382
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: and we never know how these games are gonna go. Yeah,

383
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: their offense is a is a handful because of Derrick

384
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: Henry and their ability to for Ryan Tannehill to move.

385
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: He's a good athlete and he can deliver the football

386
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: and they've got some guys to catch it. Are off.

387
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: The Bills offense hasn't played its best, I don't think

388
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: the best football yet this season, but they've got a

389
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: big engine. The Bills offense does as well. It's gonna

390
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: come down to how many plays the Titan defense can

391
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: make against the Buffalo Bills and what their plan is

392
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: going to be. Can they keep them off the field,

393
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: can they get them off the field? Can you know,

394
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: can the Bills convert third downs to stay viable in it?

395
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: And so I think there's a lot of question marks

396
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: about this game because the Tennessee Titans are good enough,

397
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: as you said, physically and mentally tough enough to hang

398
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: in there with a really good team, which is the Bill,

399
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: which the Bills are. But I think except for the Chiefs, well,

400
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't think the Chiefs played very well on Monday

401
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: night or Sunday night. If the Titans play well, it'll

402
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: be it will be the toughest game the Bills have

403
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: faced yet this season. Now the Bills got beat and say,

404
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: well they got beat by this. The Bill didn't play well. Yeah,

405
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: and I'd love you know, the Steelers game. That was

406
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: a team that I don't think is as talented as

407
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: this Tennessee team. So you're gonna get a better performance

408
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: from them. It's gonna be a bigger challenge. I think.

409
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: This what I guess I want to get into is

410
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm thinking this Tennessee game may be the biggest challenge

411
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: yet for the Bills. Even we had that specter of

412
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and all that stuff that they bring, you think, wow,

413
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: there's nobody can go into Kansas City, and when they

414
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: beat us by two touchdowns, it was a huge game,

415
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: no question about it. But in hindsight, their defense stinks. Yeah,

416
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: and that was the difference. This Tennessee team doesn't stink

417
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: in any aspect of it. Now. They may not be

418
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: as talented as other teams, but they don't play bad usually.

419
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Now there's an interesting development with regard to their kicking game.

420
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: They're punter. Brett Kerrn went on the COVID list this week.

421
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: Now there's no word as to whether or not he'll

422
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: be back in time for the game. Maybe he will,

423
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: maybe he won't. We'll try to get an update from

424
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: Toront Davenport when we talk to him on what the

425
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: expectation is there. And with an extra day to get

426
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: to Monday night. Maybe he's out of the protocols by

427
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: then and available to play on Monday night. The Titans

428
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: are last in the league in punt coverage. Roll in

429
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: the fact that they may not have their punter. I

430
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: mean they might be going for it on fourth down

431
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: anytime they're on the plus side. Yeah, that's a good

432
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: point too. Might change their tactics a little bit with

433
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: a backup hunter. I mean, you can't cover the punt

434
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: to begin with, then you're backup. You gotta go with

435
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: a backup hunter, right, Yeah, that'll be interesting to see

436
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: how they're handling that down there and who they bring in.

437
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: Certainly they got they can't go out there without a punter,

438
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: but even with Kern in there, they have been very effective. Well,

439
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: it's interesting to seem certainly the Bills have got to

440
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: think they've got a leg up. But but you still

441
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: got to play. Well, you gotta figure out why they stink,

442
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: see if they can fix it, or if they're gonna

443
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: fix it, or what you would do to fix it,

444
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: and then tactically mesh your plan with that. Yeah, and

445
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: we'll see what they can do the Bills can do.

446
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: But it certainly something the Titans are concerned about. Yeah,

447
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: no question about it. How will the twenty twenty one

448
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: Bills versus Titans matchup on Monday Night be different than

449
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: last year's forty two to sixteen loss. When you go

450
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet, which is brought to you by

451
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving provider of the

452
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and Jack says, will have Trey White, a

453
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: healthy Edmonds hopefully Milano, and a better D line to

454
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: contain Tannehill, plus a full compliment of healthy wide receivers

455
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: and running backs to attack a porous Tennessee defense. Also,

456
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: the Titans won't have the COVID woe is us chip,

457
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: Bills will want revenge for those Shenanigans. How much of

458
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: an emotional boost will all of that garbage from last

459
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: year provide? If anything? A little bit, not a lot.

460
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: I knew going into last year's game the Bills had

461
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: no shot at that. I've seen that kind of scenario

462
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: play out at other levels of football, and even in

463
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 1: the pros, where one team you can't prepare, something happens.

464
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: You know you've completely disrupted the disrupted their schalu team.

465
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: Their routine's done their and now then also the whole league,

466
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: and every fan of every other team in the league

467
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: was piling on Tennessee like they were some sort of

468
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: idiot bunch of fools who had disregarded the protocols and

469
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: had cheated and done all this stuff. They were getting

470
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: hammered in the media and public, in the court of

471
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: public opinion. So they had hunkered down and had this

472
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: bunker mentality, and indeed, in a real sense, it was

473
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: them against everybody else. And when they could finally get

474
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: on the field after like one day of practice, they

475
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: had no Nobody had any expectations of them to be

476
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: able to play. Nobody had any expectations or any They

477
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: had every excuse in the book. They had nothing to

478
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: worry about, nothing to fear. They were supposed to lose

479
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: the game, and they could cut loose and play. Meanwhile,

480
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: the Bills were just the opposite of that, where the

481
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans were playing and playing that game as though

482
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: they had been reprieved off death row. Just like whoa,

483
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: it's like a free week in in Vegas. You don't

484
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: have to pay the marker, right, let's just go. That's

485
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: a great way to play, a great way to play,

486
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: and the Bills, on the other hand, we're doing just

487
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: the opposite of that. They were being forced to do

488
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: something nobody wanted any part of. Yeah, Tiffany on the

489
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: tweet sheet says, Rousseau and company destroying the Titans o

490
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: line the entire game. It's gonna be a long day

491
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: for the Titans. Ryan Tannehill right now is the most

492
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: sack quarterback in football, which is saying something knowing all

493
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterbacks that are playing right now. Twenty times

494
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: in two hundred and two dropbacks, it's ten percent of

495
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: the time he's getting dropped for a sack. He's lost

496
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards on twenty sacks. Yeah, that's

497
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: kind of hidden yardage too. I think some of that

498
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: is a little bit the way they run their offense.

499
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: A lot of play action, exactly a lot of play actions,

500
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: so when guys dive in to stop the run, you

501
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: know kind of already halfway there, you're halfway there, and

502
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: you know they get there. They get home doing that,

503
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: And I think when they try to come off the

504
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: ball as a offensive line and show run, it's easier

505
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: to slip that block when the guy's coming at you

506
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: when the offensive lineman's shooting out to coming as a

507
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: run play than it is when he's backing up, and

508
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: you've got to kind of find a way to get

509
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 1: around him. So I think some of that leaves him

510
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: vulnerable back there. So if that first read isn't there

511
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: and the balls not out on time, somebody's there. I

512
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: think part that may be part of what happens to Tennessee,

513
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: but that can't be all of it. Yeah, there are

514
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: problems there, I think. So all right, we have to

515
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we return, it'll be

516
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: the Ultimate Fantasy Lineup presented by one ESPN's Field Yates.

Speaker 1: He comes in for his weekly segment. We'll also ask

518
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: him about Bills Titans on Monday night. So stay where

Speaker 1: you are. We're back in a moment here on One

Speaker 1: Focus Football podcast. It is the one and only Field

526
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: Yates joining us here field, How are you doing? First,

527
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: and then second, give us your biggest takeaway from the

528
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: Sunday Night duel between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. Yeah. So,

529
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: first of all, great to be on with you guys.

530
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. It's a beautiful day here. I'm down

531
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: in Kenneticut. I can imagine it's a nice day up

532
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: there in Western New York as well. It's about seventy

533
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: five degree. I don't have too many days like this

534
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: in the get over, so we count when we do.

535
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: My big takeaway from Sunday Night is we all know

536
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: that the Bills have players. I mean, the roster was

537
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: one of the best in football. Brandon Being's done an

538
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 1: incredible job. I mean he's one of the best gms

539
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: in football. We've talked about that many times over. We

540
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: could probably talk about it every time I come on

541
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: the show. He would not get sick of it. But

542
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: it's not just the players now, it's the plan too.

543
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying the Bills haven't had plans in

544
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: the past. They've been extremely well coached as well. That's

545
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: why I think there's a case for them. Is the

546
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: clear favorites right now in the NFL. But the plan

547
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday night was remarkable both sides of the ball.

548
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: You know, the Chiefs are struggling defensively, there's no mystery

549
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: around that. The Chiefs are undermanned, and I'm not sure

550
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: schematically they're dialing up the right calls right now on defense,

551
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: but on offense they're very good. But we saw the

552
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: Bills do on Sunday what's going with the plan? Remain

553
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: committed to the plan and execute the plan. And the

554
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: plan was pretty clear to me. I think the numbers

555
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: sort of board out as well. The Bills once on

556
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Patrick Mahomes dropped back over sixty times. The

557
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: idea is simple. The best way you have a chance

558
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: to at least contain that Chiefs offense is to rush

559
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: for at maximum play coverage and limit big plays. And

560
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had just two plays of twenty plus yards

561
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 1: last week, and one of them was a scramble from

562
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, which you live with every Sunday or every

563
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: Monday or Thursday whenever you're playing. So big opportunity for

564
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: the Bills to capitalize. They sure did a plan, and

565
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: the people are all aligning. Yeah, I would, I would

566
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: agree with you. That's and it's sometimes when you get

567
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: into a game with the Chiefs like that, it's hard

568
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: to stay and we talked, they talked about it a

569
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: lot during the game, but to stay disciplined and not

570
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: get flustered when a play does happen that hurts you.

571
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: And certainly the Bills were able to keep the you know,

572
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs off the board in that regard, so it

573
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: may have been a little easier to stay patient defensively,

574
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: but Mantleman, you're right, tip your hat to the coaching

575
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: staffor stay in disciplined and and going with the plan

576
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: and trusting. And this week, as we move on, we're

577
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: already at week six. Amazing. It's it's amazing how fast

578
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: this season slips. I mean good, but some of these

579
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: got some things are happening around the league, and the

580
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: AFC in particular is stacked to the gills with great

581
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks. And one of those young quarterbacks is at

582
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: the top of your fantasy list this week. That's right

583
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, who was awesome last week and people have

584
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: thought that the Browns might provide some resistance against him.

585
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: It did not, and so we look ahead to our

586
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: week sixth lineup presented by fan Duel. We look at

587
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: some of the players that are available. I think you

588
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: have to consider Justin Herbert at eight thousand dollars a quarterback.

589
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: Remind people every single week that the idea is you

590
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: take the player's price, you divide it by one thousand,

591
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: So eight thousand divided by a thousand is obviously eight.

592
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Multiply that number by three. That gets you to twenty four.

593
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: That's how many points you're looking for from that player

594
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: to to consider it a good return on investments. Well,

595
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert this year is averaging over twenty five Fantasy

596
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: points per game. And this Ravens team, I think is

597
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: a little bit tricky because they're four and one and

598
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: the old Bill parcels adage is notable. You are what

599
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: your record says you are. But Marcus Peters out for

600
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: the year. They've been dealing with some injuries on defense

601
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: and frankly some inconsistent play that I don't know that

602
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: moving the football is going to be the issue for

603
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers on Sunday, and a great, great matchup. If anything,

604
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: what most concerns do is just the fact that they

605
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: have to stop Lamar Jackson. Well, the good news is

606
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: if they can't stop Lamar Jackson, that just means more

607
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: opportunities for Justin Herbert to throw and score points. And

608
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is doing things not just on schedule, but

609
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: off schedule. And we see it with Josh see with

610
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, we see it with a few of the

611
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: other best quarterbacks in the NFL right now. That it's

612
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: one thing to have a plan, but when that plan

613
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: falls apart, the quarterback can beat you in a litany

614
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: of ways. That's where a defensive coordinators kind of take

615
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: their hands and throw them up in the air and

616
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: just say, I'm not sure what I can do anymore.

617
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: So Justin Herbert has been awesome, been really fun to

618
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: watch the Chargers win close games for a change, something

619
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 1: they have not done in the past. They've found ways

620
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: to undo their own efforts. So far this season, they

621
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: have not. Talking to ESPN, NFL Insider fantasy football expert

622
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: Field Yates, who's given us his ultimate fantasy lineup presented

623
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: by fan Duel, make every moment more the running backs

624
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: you go with what we tend to see Field this

625
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: time of year, some guys get nicked up. You're looking

626
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: for a backup if you're playing weekly fantasy. If you're

627
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: playing daily fantasy, you're looking to take advantage of an

628
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for a guy that might be undervalued because he

629
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been in the lineup prior to the week he's

630
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: scheduled to start and places somebody. You took that route

631
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: with one of your running back decisions here, that's right,

632
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: that's Dry Williams of the Chiefs, who's expected to fill

633
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: it for Clyde Edwards Hilaire is the starting running back

634
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: for Kansas City, and you guys saw him a bit

635
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: last Sunday night. He'd played for Kansas City in the

636
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: third quarter and fourth quarter when CEH was not available,

637
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: and he's a pretty good player. He is a very

638
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: capable pass catcher. And one of the big concerns with

639
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire and fantasies that the Chiefs have been

640
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: so reticent to use him as a goal line runner. Well,

641
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: they're not nearly as reticent to use Darrow Williams as

642
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: a goal line runner. As a matter of fact, it's

643
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: got four carries inside the ten yard line this year,

644
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: two of which have gone for touchdowns. Clydewards Hilaire has

645
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: one of those carries it did not go for a touchdown,

646
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: So he's a better bet to be a finisher for

647
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Good in the running game, good in the

648
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: passing game, and the opportunity is ripe right now. Guys.

649
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are obviously mad after how they got completely

650
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: dominated last week, and they play a defense that I

651
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: can't imagine what it will be like if you guys

652
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: were doing one football team Live every day covering the

653
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: Washington football team defense, because the way they're playing right

654
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: now makes you I mean, it just would be completely

655
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: you can't even make sense of it. It's supposed to

656
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: be the most talented defense, or one of them on

657
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: paper in the NFL, and they've been one of the worst.

658
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: So the matchup is great here for Damian for Darryl

659
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: Williams as well, and along with your quarterback Justin Herbert,

660
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: the other running back is his running mate Austin Eckler.

661
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: Both those guys going into Baltimore this week. That's right,

662
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler, who's been great this year. If we were

663
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: talking about season long fantasy, there's a case for him

664
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: is the first second third best player. He's just been

665
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: awesome for Los Angeles in every way, shape or form.

666
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, in draftking, excuse me, in FanDuel scoring, you're

667
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: always looking for guys that have an opportunity to catch

668
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of passes. PPR scoring is very valuable, and

669
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler is about as talented as it gets out

670
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: of the backfield, especially amongst the healthy running backs right now.

671
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: Is Christian McCaffrey is still banged up. It As a

672
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: matter of fact, just seconds before we started this conversation,

673
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: we learned that Christian McCaffrey was not available during the

674
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: media portion of the Panthers practice today. So you've got

675
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: all these notable names at running back banged up. Meanwhile,

676
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler keeps chugging along. He's been great for the

677
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: Chargers so far this season. He's priced at eight thousand,

678
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars for this week. It's a big number,

679
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: but I'm okay with it because remember that Ravens run

680
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: game at Ravens defense last week had really no answers

681
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: for the Colts running game, both on the ground and

682
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: also through the air, as Jonathan Taylor had a seventy

683
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: plus yard receiving touchdown early in the game. They kind

684
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: of got things rolling for Indie and lead they obviously

685
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: eventually squandered. All right, So receiver is where you've often

686
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: spent a lot of your money. Yeah, no, different here,

687
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: at least with two of your three choices. Yeah, let's

688
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: spend big. Let's go to Tiffany's for some shopping. It's

689
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's almost holiday season and you want to

690
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: buy your significant others something nice. How about Tyreek Hill

691
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams and two of your three receiver spots.

692
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: So Tyree Hill is priced at eighty seven hundred dollars,

693
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: Vante Adams just behind him at eighty five hundred dollars.

694
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you, guys. I talked about

695
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: how the Chiefs are going to be frustrated after last week.

696
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: This opportunity on Sunday against the Washington football team reminds

697
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: me of what happened to them after they lost their

698
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: second game of the season and then played It was

699
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: two weeks ago they played the Eagles and they just

700
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: decimated that Eagle secondary. Tyree Hill had three touchdowns, nearly

701
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: two hundred receiving yards, I could see him having just

702
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: a clinic day on Sunday against a Washington football team

703
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: defense that again, they're not doing anything well right now,

704
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: nothing whatsoever. And then for the Bears and the Packers game,

705
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, I mean, I don't know who can slow

706
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: Davante Adams down. More receiving yards than any player in

707
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: the NFL since the start of last season, most receiving

708
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: yards in the NFL this season alone, coming off of

709
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: just a monster effort against the Bengals, he and Aaron

710
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: Rodgers are obviously in lockstep. They have been for close

711
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 1: to a decade now. This Bears defense has some good

712
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: defensive players, Jail and John their second year cornerback out

713
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: of Utah is a good player. But there's some times

714
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: where you just sort of ignore the matchup because the

715
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: offensive talent's just that unique. I think Davanta Adams checks

716
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: that box right now. And then, of course, your last

717
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: receiver is a guy that you went more of an

718
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: economic move and a nice one too. I think Darius Tony,

719
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: who flashed last week for the Giants against the Cowboys,

720
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: do you think he's coming on and living up to

721
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: his first round status? It seems like he really did

722
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: last week. Those past two weeks have been everything the

723
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: Giants could have hoped for and more. If you watched

724
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Florida football last year, you saw him. He was everywhere.

725
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean just I compared him to like watching someone

726
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: playing a game of Frogger. Right. You just can't keep

727
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: up with them. You can't find a way to get

728
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: your hands on him. And over the past two weeks,

729
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: he's actually second in the NFL and receiving yards, behind

730
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: only Davante Adams. What we have to figure out is

731
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: that the past two weeks, the Giants have been without

732
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: both Sterling Shepherd and Darius Slay. Those players could be

733
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,959
Speaker 1: back this week. If that's the case, do they shy

734
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: away from utilizing Kadarius Tony as much as they have?

735
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: The counterpoint to that would be, Heykadarius Tony has been

736
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: one of the best players on the field each of

737
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: the past two weeks. How could you possibly not give

738
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: him the football? It's not like he is you know,

739
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: some average you know been around the league for a while.

740
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: It's hot stretch. He's Kadarius Tony's the twentieth overall pick

741
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: for a reason. So Kadarius Tony as six thousand dollars

742
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: is the upside play that I like right there, which

743
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: for the Giants, hopefully they just continue to be consistent

744
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 1: with their play calling over the past couple of weeks,

745
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: it's been red hot. And then at tight end, are

746
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: you hoping your choice here dips into the Dawson nas

747
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: success pool because based on I mean, you're going purely

748
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: based on who this guy is playing this week? Yeah, seriously, right,

749
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Dawson's obviously been incredible for three straight weeks

750
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: right now, scoring four touchdowns in that time. But Ricky

751
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: Seals Jones for the Washington football team is priced of

752
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: just five thousand dollars and a tight end if you're

753
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: not spending big on a Travis Kelsey or Darren Waller

754
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: or Mark Andrews, but you have to find as a

755
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: guy who actually has a legit role weekend and week outs,

756
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: and Ricky Seals Jones since Logan Thomas went down, has

757
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: been on the field for almost every single snap for Washington.

758
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: He has been everywhere for them, and the production is

759
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: not going to be monumental. But his chief's defense can't

760
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: stop anybody right now. And if you're thinking there's a

761
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: chance that Taylor Heine. He throws for three hundred and

762
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: twenty five yards on Sunday, you know, might mean that

763
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin gets one hundred or so, but not expecting

764
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel and Logan Thomas is on ir So Ricky

765
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: seals Joe and stands the benefit the most for this

766
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: football team. And in your flex position from in a

767
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: matchup against Las Vegas, you've got Tim Patrick. Yeah, Tim Patrick,

768
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: who I just think is one of the more underrated

769
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: players in the NFL. I think that if he was

770
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: playing somewhere else, he probably wouldn't be the team's fourth

771
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver when everybody is healthy. But he plays in Denver,

772
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: where they've made some big investments in wide receivers over

773
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: the past two drafts, three drafts, four drafts. Really, but

774
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: right now it's just him and Courtland Sutton who are

775
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: getting all the work. And this radar secondary has probably

776
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: been better by the numbers than we maybe realize. That

777
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: being said, I still think that Tim Patrick is just

778
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: so reliable. He's playing a ton of snaps. It's got

779
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three straight targets without a cat,

780
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: without a drop, I should say, and I think that

781
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater has been good enough this year to support

782
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: two Fantasy wide receivers weekend and week out. Courtland Sutton

783
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: has more upside. He actually leads the NFL in a

784
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: stat we call air yards, which does not factor in

785
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: just completions. It's throws which you're targeted if you're forty

786
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: yards down the field and the ball is incomplete. They

787
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: still count those air yards, which I know, obviously you

788
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: want to see those turn into completions, but it's also

789
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: instructive to note that Courtland Sutton is running a ton

790
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: of vertical patterns, which is great when he hits them,

791
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: but they're also inefficient relative to some of the stuff

792
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: that you're seeing from Tim Patrick, most the short intermediate

793
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: game stuff. So I think that when you look at

794
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: the types of targets that Tim Patrick is getting, they're

795
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: too valuable to not enjoy a weekend and week out.

796
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: And then you wrap it up with Carolina on defense,

797
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: and I'll dovetail off of that quickly. So after you

798
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: kind of explain your reasoning there, just give us your

799
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: thoughts on Monday Night's matchup with Bills Titans two of

800
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: their field. Yeah, so Panther's defense has been pretty solid

801
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: so far this year, forcing a lot of turnovers, generating

802
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure, a lot of sacks lay a

803
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota team on Sunday that you know, certainly are they

804
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: were good for the first three weeks offensively, But you

805
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: guys have probably watched enough and seen enough Kirk Cousins

806
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: to know that it's a little bit of a yo

807
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: yo experience when you're watching him. Right, some weeks good,

808
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: some weeks bad. Offensive line, some weeks good, some weeks bad.

809
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook might be in the lineup, might be out

810
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: of the lineup. So enough confidence in this Panthers defense

811
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: to have them in my lineup and then just quickly

812
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: on Monday Night. You know, this is one of those

813
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: where I don't know that the Bills have. You know,

814
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: they certainly wouldn't admit it themselves about like turning a corner.

815
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: But I think, at least in my mind, my feeling

816
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: is that pretty much every game, especially at the upcoming schedule,

817
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: like I say to myself, the Bills, if the Bills

818
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: do what they need to do, they win this game comfortably.

819
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: And that's the case on Monday Night against the Titans,

820
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: team that has the most dominant running back in football

821
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: obviously and Derrick Henry, but notable injuries. A j Brown

822
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 1: wide receiver has not been himself so far this year.

823
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: Julio Jones has missed the past two weeks. Sounds like

824
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: it sounds like he has a chance to play him

825
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: Monday Night. They have not been explosive in the passing

826
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: game so far this year. All the explosive plays have

827
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: basically been stemming from the running game. And on defense, well,

828
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: they've got some players that have been improved, Harold Landry

829
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: and an excellent pass rusher of generaing a ton of

830
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: pressures right now. They have vulnerabilities in the secondary. Wouldn't

831
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: be surprised if Josh has one of his bigger days

832
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 1: through the air so far this season. Sounds good, Field,

833
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: great to catch up with you again. We will see

834
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: you next week. Mans. Sounds good. Guys, Take care and

835
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: enjoy the game Monday night. All right. That's ESPN NFL

836
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: Insider and see football expert Field Yates giving us his

837
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: ultimate fantasy lineup, presented by fan Duel. Make every moment more.

838
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: We got to take a break when we come back.

839
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: More of your thoughts on the tweet sheet as we've

840
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: been asking you today, how will the twenty twenty one

841
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: Bills Titans matchup be different than the last year's Hit

842
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: us up on the tweet sheet. Let us know, or

843
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: give us a call back in a moment here on

844
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. All right, welcome back. It's one Bills Live.

845
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: It's Thursday. It's Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, as

846
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: we've been discussing with you. How will the twenty twenty

847
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: one Bills versus Titans matchup be different from last year's,

848
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: which was a forty two to sixteen defeat at the

849
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: hands of the Titans in Nashville. JT says, the game

850
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: actually being played on the day it's supposed to be,

851
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: and we know this time we are actually facing the Titans.

852
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: Another thing that will be different is we will get

853
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: the w Like Tasker said, I smell a forty burger,

854
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: maybe even a shutout. The King will be put in check.

855
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: Go Bills, I will say this. Steve Derrick Henry has

856
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: played the Bills three times in his career since he

857
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: entered the league in twenty sixteen. He has never run

858
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: for more for eighty yards or more in any one

859
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: of those three meetings. They held him under sixty yards twice.

860
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: Seventy eight yards rushing is his high against the Bills. Yeah,

861
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't care how many yards he runs for. I

862
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: just hope they don't score points. Okay, I mean that's

863
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna he's gonna get some plays. He's gonna make

864
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: some plays against He's just too good and they're too

865
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: good at what they do not to do now they

866
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: they've held him in check. But sevent eight yards a

867
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: pretty good day. It's not a hundred, but it's still

868
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: a pretty good day average. I don't know how many

869
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: yards it took him to get those either, you know,

870
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: I don't how many carries, but his you know, yards

871
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: per carry average is something that's really important. Well, his

872
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: yards per carry average in three games against the Bills.

873
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: I will tell you, Steve, it's three point nine two. Yeah,

874
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: that's it's not great, it's not horrible. It's almost four

875
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: yards of carry. It's down for him, but it's down

876
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, we'll see. I still think this is

877
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: a really good Tennessee offense and it goes behind, it

878
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: all runs through him. He is an absolutely, he's a beast,

879
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: dominating force, just one of the all time, all the

880
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: all time impressive running backs you'll ever see. You have

881
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: guys that are maybe more fun to watch, Barry Sanders,

882
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: Walter Payton. You can go back, you know, Earl Campbell.

883
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: We can go back and look at guys throughout the history.

884
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: But that guy's unique. He is massively big. Somebody that

885
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: big has no right out running defensive backs to the

886
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: end zone. That's what's nuts about him, right And and

887
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: the fact and the thing about it too is and

888
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: this was brought up as well, You think, okay, he

889
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: had he had a gazillion carries two years ago, he

890
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: had a gazillion carries last year, and now he's carrying

891
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: it even more than this year. And it doesn't seem

892
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: like it's he doesn't even have a chip in his paint,

893
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, the guy is really a phenomenal,

894
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: phenomenally gifted and able to recover week to week, to

895
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: get back right back in the saddle and carry the

896
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: ball again a number of times a game. You watch

897
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: some of his offseason training videos, your eyes will pop

898
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: right out of your head. Some of the stuff he's

899
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: got hanging off his neck doing push ups with rubber bands.

900
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: It's just stupid. Stuff. We have to take a break.

901
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: One more tweet though before we go from Herb, who

902
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: is already in a lather Steve, and it's Thursday. In

903
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: terms of what will be different this year between Bills

904
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: Titans as opposed to last year, he said, simple, the

905
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: Bills will go into Tennessee and punch them right in

906
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: the mouth. Seven exclamation points. Got to calm Herb down.

907
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: We don't want him to You don't want him to

908
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: get over prepared here. He's going to be exhausted by

909
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: the time we get to kickoff the pace. Yourself came

910
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: looking for the game, all right, break time for us.

911
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will talk about those various

912
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: heightens and what the Bills can spect on Monday night

913
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: when we have ESPN Titans beat reporter to Ron Davenport

914
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: joining us. He'll be up next here on one Bills Live,

915
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at

916
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

917
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

918
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: fighter for you state a little Steve a blimp. We're

919
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: not even in the stratedere of normalcy. All right here

920
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: we are our number two Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

921
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: you on a Thursday edition of One Bills Live, and

922
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: it's time to talk Titans and to do that with

923
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: us now is ESPN NFL Nation Titans Reporter, also a

924
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: host of the Talking with TV podcast, member of the

925
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: pfwa at is One to Run Havanport joining the show

926
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: again as we are set to talk Titans Toronto. Good

927
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 1: to have you, Hope you're well. We're trying to figure

928
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: out just what to expect from this Titans team. They

929
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: have a lot of turnover on defense in the off season,

930
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: as we know, you know, Julio Jones was a big act,

931
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: was big name acquisition, but he's been out of the lineup.

932
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like the passing game is taken off

933
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: the way they wanted it to to kind of balance

934
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: out the offense. What kind of team are we should

935
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: we expect here on Monday night? Yeah, I think it's

936
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: really a team that's absolutely a work in progress, and

937
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: they're working to get Julio Jones back in the lineup.

938
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: A J. Brown was just reinserted into the lineup. Both

939
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: of those guys are struggling with hamstring issues, so you

940
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: haven't really seen these guys all come together and be

941
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: able to show what this offense is capable of. So

942
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're what you're looking at. I

943
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: think it's really interesting just with Derek Henry and what

944
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: he's able to do running the football. He's actually ahead

945
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: of his pace last year in which he got two

946
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: thousand yards. He's rejecting over a seventeen game season for

947
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: two thousand, one hundred and seventy six. So what you're

948
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna see is a whole lot of Derrick Henry and

949
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: possibly if Julio Jones plays some sprinkled in passing plays,

950
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: maybe some even deep shots. What about the offensive line?

951
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: Have they come together as well? I mean they you know,

952
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: they got some familiar faces on the in front of

953
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanney or how they evolved. Yeah, Really, the only

954
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: spot that was going to have a new starter was

955
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: right tackle, and that's where David Questenbury has come in

956
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 1: and kind of settled in as the starter. However, there's

957
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: so many injuries that that left side is dealing with,

958
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, from center Ben Jones to the left, you

959
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: know with Roger Stafford, the left guard, Taylor Lawan at

960
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: left tackle, one or two of these guys goes down.

961
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: They go down almost every game and then they work

962
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: their way back in, so that is something to watch.

963
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: Tyson Brilo, who was their reserve tackle who would come

964
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: in for Lawan when Lauan went down, he actually retired

965
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, so now they're just kind

966
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,439
Speaker 1: of up in the flux. Their second round pick, daling

967
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: radents if an injury should occur, he's going to be

968
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: rushed into duty and we'll just have to see how

969
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: he's able to pan out. He's worked so much at guard,

970
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: both guard spots and tackle spots, so it'll be a

971
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: bit of a challenge for the rookie if he's caught upon.

972
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: What can be said about the fact that Ryan Tannehill

973
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: is the most sack quarterback in the league right now

974
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: with twenty through five games to what do you attribute

975
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: most of those situations to having seen every snap. Yeah,

976
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: it's a balance of things. I won't dare put that

977
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: all on the offensive line, right because there are times

978
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: where guys are getting smoked up front. There are times

979
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: where you see delayed blitzes and you know the running

980
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: back may not pick up the linebacker who's blitzing. There

981
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: are other times where Channehill did have opportunities to throw

982
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: the football but he getting he held onto it for

983
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: some reason. And then there's times where guys just simply

984
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 1: aren't getting open. And you know, when you have all

985
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: three of those things happen consistently, that's where you're going

986
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: to leave the league in sacks. And that's that's what's

987
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: happening with the Titans offense. What you need to do

988
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: as far as the offensive coordinator is concerned, and he's

989
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: done it over the last couple of weeks. A little

990
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: more bunch fromation, get rob routes, stacked receivers at the

991
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. You know, allow these guys, you know,

992
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 1: with those zero splits, to have the dbs be forced

993
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: to back up, so this way you're getting that quick separation,

994
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: so it's a catch and throw. And that's something that

995
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: Tied Downing is starting to do. They've they've had a

996
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: pretty stout schedule. They played the Seahawks, the Colts, who

997
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 1: always played tough, and Arizona, who's the only unbeaten team

998
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: in the league. So how have they fared against the

999
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: upper echelon of competition. Yeah, well, I mean I think

1000
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: they fared Okay, they're they're three and two. The Cardinals

1001
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: game was just they were dominated in that game right

1002
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: from the start, and that's something. You know, Chandler Jones

1003
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: five sacks on his own, so that just speaks for itself.

1004
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: Are the other games were just tough, hard fought games,

1005
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 1: you know, even the Jaguars one that was a tough game.

1006
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: The big issue, you know in those games against the

1007
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: Jets and the Jaguars is they elect teams that shouldn't

1008
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: have been in the game stay in the game, and

1009
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: that's something that they can't do. You know, this week,

1010
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: going against Buffalo, you absolutely have to get off to

1011
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: a quick start because that Bill's offense is so good.

1012
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: They strike quickly and they will keep loading at that scoreboard.

1013
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: So you definitely have to get off to a better

1014
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: start than they have in these last couple of games.

1015
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: There's a curious development on special teams with punter Bred

1016
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: Kern going on the COVID reserve list earlier this week.

1017
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: I know that punt coverage has been a little bit

1018
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: of an issue. They're last in the league in terms

1019
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: of yards allowed on that particular area of the team.

1020
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: Is Kern gonna be back in time? For Monday Night.

1021
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: Is that the anticipation and if not, how much does

1022
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: that kind of throw a wrench into the works of

1023
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: a unit that's already had a couple of struggles here

1024
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: and there. Just based on the numbers anyway, Yeah, Karn's

1025
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: going to be out a bit and Johnny Townsend is

1026
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 1: the putter. That's why they called upon He's been solid.

1027
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, he shanked one it was like a twelve

1028
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 1: yard and he bounced back with a sixty yarder weeks

1029
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: ago in his first game. So that's pretty much what

1030
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go with. And you know, when

1031
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: you have a guy that former defensive coordinator DMP's joke

1032
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: jokingly called him the defensive MVP and Brett Kerrn the punter,

1033
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, because the alix flips the field. When you

1034
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: take that away, that definitely makes it a lot tougher.

1035
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: And the thing with Kern that was so good is

1036
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: he had different ways upon the football. He had a knuckler,

1037
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: he had, you know, the ability to pin it in

1038
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 1: each each corner and those type of things. With Stevens,

1039
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, that helps you as a cover guy on

1040
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: a punt team. So that is something that's taken away

1041
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: and it's been tough for them, just as far as

1042
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm working with Townsend, but you know, he's held his

1043
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: own and they just have to do what they can,

1044
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: you know, to limit Mackenzie this week and we'll see

1045
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: how that pans out. You've said that you think it's

1046
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: important for the Tennessee Titans to get off to a

1047
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: fast start because of the Bill's offense and their ability

1048
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: to score points. What do you think they're defensive plan

1049
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: will be against the offensive the Bill? Certainly you'd love

1050
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: to have, you know, Josh Allen and company standing on

1051
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: the sidelines for most of the game, but when they

1052
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: do take the field, how do you think the Tennessee

1053
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: Titans will match up defensively? What will be their scheme? Yeah?

1054
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: I think you know, and talk him to the defensive backs.

1055
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: You know, what they've said is plaster. That's really the

1056
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: main thing. And you have to do that against a

1057
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: guy like Josh Allen because it's unique because he's able

1058
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: to extend plays and he's so big that even when

1059
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: he's in the pocket, guys are bouncing off of him.

1060
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: And when he does that, he has his eyes down

1061
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: the field and he's gotten so much better as a

1062
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: deep ball passer. And you saw it last week where

1063
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,479
Speaker 1: he extended to play, went off schedule and Dawson Knox

1064
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: turn his route up the field and it was a

1065
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: long touchdown, one of five Touchdow passes that Allan has

1066
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: a forty yards or more. So, really it's about plastering

1067
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: up front that guys are trying to keep him in

1068
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: the pocket. But I mean, like I said, even within

1069
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: the pocket, he could make plays extending it and doing

1070
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: those things. So it's a really tall order going against

1071
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: a guy like Josh Allen, who I feel is over

1072
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, probably the most quarterback in

1073
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. So, Taran, what what do we make of?

1074
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: You know, the draft choices. You know they wisely invested

1075
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: in some defensive backs, Caleb Farley, Elijah Molden, who's a

1076
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: player I loved. He's just a flat out football player.

1077
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: How have they been worked into playing time in the secondary.

1078
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: What's been the rotation like there? Because there are you know,

1079
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: there is a veteran and Genoras Jenkins and Christian Fulton

1080
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: who was a high draft choice just a year ago. Yeah, well, Chraiz,

1081
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: you're right. Elijah Molden is as he's a flat out

1082
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: football player. He's a joy to watch, a joy to

1083
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: talk to, and you're seeing a transfer onto the field.

1084
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: He's beginning to get a lot more comfortable as a

1085
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: nickel guy. He had struggles against Seattle, but last week

1086
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: he had a forced fumble, you know, one of the

1087
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: early players in the game, and a result in a touchdown.

1088
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 1: So the team is desperately in need of turnovers and

1089
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: he helped establish one. So I think he's going to

1090
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: continue to play in that nickel spot in him as

1091
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: well as Chris Jackson. But as far as Caleb Farth's concern,

1092
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: he didn't practice on Thursday, so that's something to be

1093
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned about. You know, you want the

1094
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: rookie to be able to get out there and get

1095
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: his his you know, his ability to get into the

1096
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: floor of the game, you know, the flow of the

1097
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: game plan, and not practicing hurt him. And he actually

1098
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: he played twenty two snaps last week in place of Fulton,

1099
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: who also didn't practice. So that right corner position is

1100
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: going to be an interesting spot. You know. Whoever the

1101
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 1: Bill's line up out there, it's gonna be one to watch.

1102
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: Just because I'm not sure exactly who's gonna play the position.

1103
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: If Fulton's gonna be ready to go, if Farley's gonna

1104
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: be ready to go, and if neither those guys are ready,

1105
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: then it'll be Bryond Borders. But you know, getting back

1106
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 1: to the rookies themselves, um Dalan Raidents I mentioned him

1107
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: at the tackle position. He may get some get some reps,

1108
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, pending injury. But I mean they quite frankly,

1109
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten much out of their draft picks, to

1110
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Molden has played the most Sydney

1111
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 1: Rice excuse me, the Sydney Rights, thinking of a receiver,

1112
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: Manti Rice. He's been kind of in and out of

1113
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: the lineup. He has a growing situation he's dealing with

1114
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: as well. So it's been tough sledding for his rookie class,

1115
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: and it's been that way for our last year's rookie

1116
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: class as well. Outside of four, so, Tennessee sits at

1117
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: three and two and they're playing the NFC West this season.

1118
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: They got a stretch here in the next four games.

1119
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: They've got the Bills, then they've got Kansas City, then

1120
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: a division game with the Colts, who are gonna be

1121
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: desperate to win football games, and then they've got the Rams.

1122
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: This next month could really make or break the season

1123
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: for the Titans. Is that the way you see it? Oh? Yeah, absolutely.

1124
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: And before the season even started, you know, looking at

1125
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: the schedule, I said that that was the murderers Row

1126
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: part of the schedule and if they could survive that,

1127
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: they'll be okay. But I mean it's tough to survive

1128
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: back to back to back games like this, you know all.

1129
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: And the thing is all of those teams that they're

1130
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: going against a very physical team, So it's almost like

1131
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: one week will roll into into the next one and

1132
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: then starting with this one against a very physical Bills defense.

1133
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: Just a physical team overall, you know, offensively running at

1134
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: QB power and the things that they do. Talking with ESPN,

1135
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: NFL Nation Titans reporter Toront Davenport, last one, I've got

1136
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: four your Toront, is what do we make of their

1137
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: pass rush? Obviously everybody got excited when they got Bud

1138
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: Dupree to kind of work as a bookend opposite Harold Landry.

1139
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: I know the numbers aren't speaking to sack production per se,

1140
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: and maybe it's a byproduct and maybe not getting enough

1141
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: down in distance opportunities on third down to really get

1142
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. But what do you attribute or what

1143
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: have you seen basically from this tandem through five games?

1144
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: Have they kind of found their way? Are they peeking?

1145
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: Where are these guys as a tandem? Well, Harold Landry

1146
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: is playing the best football he's played yet. He has

1147
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: four and a half sacks. He's right up there top

1148
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: three with the pressures that he's getting, So can't really

1149
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: say much about him. He's doing a really good job,

1150
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: but just finished and you see him playing well against

1151
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: the run also, but on the opposite side, you know,

1152
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: but Duprix has been hurt. He's still distancing himself from

1153
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: that knee injury that he had just in December last year,

1154
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: so it's kind of asking a lot to have him,

1155
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, play as well as he did before the

1156
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: injury at this point. And he acknowledged that he kind

1157
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: of tried to go a little bit too early and

1158
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 1: pushed it a little bit and tried to fight through

1159
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: the pain when he shouldn't have. So he's still kind

1160
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: of up and down, not sure if he's going to

1161
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: play this week. He didn't play the previous couple of games,

1162
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: so that's obviously won to watch. But a guy who

1163
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: actually has stepped in in his place as Ola and Danny,

1164
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: and he's he's primarily a special teams player, you know,

1165
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: for the Steelers, but the Titans signed him to do

1166
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: that same role, but he's played some outside backer as

1167
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: two and a half sacks. He actually had a sack

1168
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: that should have been a safety against the Seahawks to

1169
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: really turn the momentum and overtime. So that's pretty much

1170
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: what you're getting up front. You know, in the middle,

1171
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: you have Jeffrey Simmons, who he's not getting as many sacks,

1172
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: but he's still causing the pressure. And one other guy

1173
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: that I definitely have to point out is de Nico Autry,

1174
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: who was playing really well. You see him as a

1175
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: stand up a guy, you know, outside linebacker, but also

1176
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: as as a you know, a five tech. He's playing

1177
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: there as well. So you know, those are really the

1178
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: primary guys are they've been hit with injury. Derek Roberson

1179
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: was a guy they were expecting a lot from, but

1180
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: he's on IR so it's it's been a difficult situation

1181
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: just as far as what they have available to them.

1182
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: I am I you know, I feel like they're they're

1183
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: making the best of it, but but they do need

1184
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: to get more sack production in addition to impact in

1185
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback. One last one for me, turn you've been

1186
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: covering this team, You cover this team, you know day

1187
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. What's Mike Vrabel been saying a

1188
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: little bit about this team that may be different from

1189
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: years past or what has been his point of emphasis

1190
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: for you guys in the media. What do you think

1191
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: he's thinking about these days that maybe he didn't know

1192
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: he was going to be thinking about, or maybe it's

1193
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: just more of the same. What about Mike Able in

1194
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: his message? Yeah, well, his message to the team this

1195
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: week has primarily been, you know, to get away from

1196
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: the stats. You know, because if you look at the stats,

1197
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: this Bill's team is their top five and pretty much everything.

1198
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: So he's saying, get away from the stats and let's

1199
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: look at, you know, the task at hand. As far

1200
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: as what his message or just anything different for him,

1201
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: I think this injury situation is a bit different. He's

1202
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: always said that football is a one hundred percent injury sport,

1203
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: but things that have really been powered up. I mean,

1204
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: they had twenty plus guys on the injury report last week,

1205
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: so I think that's something that's just kind of been

1206
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: a bit of a challenge for him. But it's the

1207
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: next man up mindset, and that's something that you know,

1208
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: he's preached since training KEMP when Julio Jones and A. J.

1209
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: Brown weren't able to participate, he told these receivers, next

1210
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: man up. And you saw guys and Marcus Johnson and

1211
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Chester Rogers emerged from bubble roster guys to significant game

1212
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: rep guys. So it's that's really what it's been. Man

1213
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: next month, next man up, and that's been a focus

1214
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: for those guys. Well, Tron, listen, thanks very much for

1215
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: the time. We appreciate it. Do your best to keep

1216
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: those sunny skies going out there. We want this Bills

1217

Speaker 1: Titans be reporter Toron Davenport always plugged into the scene

1226
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: down there. That's why we try to get him on

1227
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: the show anytime the Bills are facing the Titans with

1228
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: will be the fourth time in the last four years. Yeah, familiar.

1229
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy um that you keep, you know, coming up

1230
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: against these teams seemingly every year. Chiefs Titans just seems

1231
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: to be frequent AFC opponents. We have to break here,

1232
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we hope to have Arn

1233
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: Johnson joining us here on the show. He of the

1234
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: three year contract extension signed just last Saturday before balling

1235
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: out in the wind over the Kansas City Chiefs back

1236
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: in a moment here on One Bill's Live, presented by

1237
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: Kellid to health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. I just wanted

1238
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: to stamp myself in the NFL, and I feel like

1239
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: I've shown glimpses of it. Ball comes down to the

1240
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: Jocketters intercepted. He just the ultimate competitor and mean public

1241
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: said that for a while, So add my name to

1242
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: that's a dog. I mean, he's a dog pound for pounds,

1243
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: just the best nipple in the league. You don't even

1244
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: how to finish the sentence, Budge, It's the way he

1245
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: played today was incredible. Listen, we want across from two

1246
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: for it's gonna be a long day for you. And

1247
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: he brings it out and he's still on the run.

1248
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: He may go all the way, all right. That is

1249
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: just the opening. So that Beyond Blue and latest edition

1250
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:06,360

Speaker 1: first and foremost, congratulations on the contract extension. You signed

1255
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: it quietly over the weekend. I mean we tried to

1256
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: pump it up on the website, you know, do our

1257
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: best over here. But how did that come together? Were

1258
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: you just kind of talking with your agents saying, hey, man,

1259
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: I know where I want to be. It's here in Buffalo,

1260
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: let's get this done. Or did they kind of come

1261
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: to you. I think it was a little bit of both,

1262
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: you know. I mean I definitely wanted to stay with

1263
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: the Bills, and being came to me just said we're

1264
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna start looking on an extension. Hopefully we can get

1265
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: a deal done before the bye week. So just that

1266
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: being said, I talked to my agent and he talks

1267
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: to me about the numbers and it ended up being

1268
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: where I wanted it to be. And yeah, I'm just

1269
01:04:58,360 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: happy to be here and I was happy to sign.

1270
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: How happy And what kind of locker room was it

1271
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: when you all got back into the locker room in

1272
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City, had an hour long rain delay, you came

1273
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: back in, You beat them by eighteen You beat them

1274
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: by more than they beat you in the AFC Championship game.

1275
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: Describe what it felt like in the locker room last

1276
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Amazing. I mean, one of the one of

1277
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: the best experiences I felt in a minute. So it

1278
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: was just it was just exciting. You know, it's always

1279
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: fun to to get back out a team who beat

1280
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: us in the past, especially in a big game like

1281
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship and just being able to basically have

1282
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: that rematch U and win on their home fields. Everything fartune,

1283
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: I know. You know last year in the AFC title game,

1284
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, Coach Frasier had you guys moving around different

1285
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: coverage assignments through the course of the game, and you

1286
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: guys were trying to mix it up on Kelsey and Hill,

1287
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: and it looked like it did some of that to

1288
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: some extent. This week could get this past week again.

1289
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: What made you, guys, guys more effective? Do you think

1290
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: this time around or help make you more effective in

1291
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: this performance than maybe the last performance when those guys

1292
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: leaked out on you a little biteel like our game

1293
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: plan was a little bit better. The coaches did a

1294
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: great job is finding from from the teams that Kansas

1295
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: City has played and learning from our losses against him.

1296
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: Just our game planning and our d line was definitely

1297
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: we can hav it back there. So just a combination

1298
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: of those things and we ended up with the what

1299
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: about moving forward? You look, you turn your sights now

1300
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: on a Monday night game, it's got an another primetime game,

1301
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: another night game. Those are always a little bit difficult

1302
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: during the day kind of waiting around to get the

1303
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: game kicked off. Also, it's another team you guys played.

1304
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: You've played every year your career, right, I mean you

1305
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: got you guys know these guys, so what do you

1306
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: know that? And we've talked about it. The Chiefs are

1307
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: a completely different animal than the Tennessee Titans. What how

1308
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: do things change for you guys? This week? We got

1309
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: to stop the run. You know Derek Henry, he's a

1310
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: horseback there. But us just made sure that we're doing

1311
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do our one eleventh. I feel like

1312
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: it's going to come down more more about us in

1313
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: us doing our jobs more than them. Tarn I know

1314
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: you're not one that you know, seeks the spotlight all

1315
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: that much. So how weird was it for you filming

1316
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: this Beyond Blue and Red piece that's on all our

1317
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: bills social platforms? Now? I mean they basically had you

1318
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: literally rewalk you're one of your one yard interception return

1319
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: They you know, some of the producers Michelle and others

1320
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: were joking that they had to slow you down because

1321
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: you were walking it too fast. And yeah, I mean,

1322
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: I know that's not what your career is. You know,

1323
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: your your job is to play football, not look good

1324
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: on camera. But how was it kind of going through that,

1325
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: maybe for the first time as the focal point of

1326
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: a piece. Uh, it's a little awkward for me, Like

1327
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: you said, I don't really like too much of being

1328
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the focal point. But you know, it came out very

1329
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: very well, and the producers and everyone who made it

1330
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: to a very great job and represented the team well

1331
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: and myself. So it's just a good piece overall. Yeah,

1332
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: And I know that, you know, when you think back

1333
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: about it, that's gonna be a play that's gonna kind

1334
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: of stick with you for your entire career. It was

1335
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: a it was a kind of a historic play for

1336
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: the franchise, and that it puts you into the AFC

1337
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 1: Championship Game. What do you you know, what are your

1338
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: thoughts you look back on that. Certainly You've got a

1339
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: lot of football left in you, but certainly that had

1340
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: to be a stamp of validation for you that, you know,

1341
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: you made a name for yourself and a place for

1342
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: yourself on this roster in this town, with this franchise.

1343
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just I mean, I'm just thankful

1344
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: that I had that opportunity. You know, Um, obviously I

1345
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 1: couldn't have got into the end zone without my teammates,

1346
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: So I'm really just thankful for those guys to basically

1347
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 1: escort me into the end zone and without them wouldn't

1348
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have been a touchdown. So I'm just thankful

1349
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: for the opportune unity, and hopefully I can make more

1350
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: plays like that in the future. Karen. I remember after

1351
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 1: that game, You're in the zoom room post game and

1352
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 1: I asked you did you think about taking a knee?

1353
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: And you were honest and you said yes, because I

1354
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: kind of saw your knee flinch like you were gonna

1355
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: take a knee. I was like, holy cow, I think

1356
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: he was thinking about taking a knee, and you you

1357
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: confirmed that you were honest. But the fact that you

1358
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: didn't and you turned it into probably your most noteworthy

1359
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,879
Speaker 1: play of your career, does that make you think differently

1360
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: now whenever you get an interception, like because it turned

1361
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,600
Speaker 1: out so well, do you always think I don't know

1362
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: if I'm ever gonna take a knee again. No, anytime

1363
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 1: I get the ball in my hands, I'm trying to

1364
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: score a touchdown. And that's just that's just the way

1365
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: it is. That's just the way it is. So my

1366
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: next interception, I will be trying to score a touchdown. Yeah. No. Also,

1367
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: and I know I said this, uh, And you know

1368
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: about this season, it seemed to me like you were

1369
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 1: you have been playing maybe at another level this season

1370
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,719
Speaker 1: than you did at any point last season. I felt

1371
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 1: like during the first three, four or five game and

1372
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: fifth game as well. This season, you have been in

1373
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: the middle of a lot of plays. You had an

1374
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: interception called back in the Washington game and the very

1375
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: next play you had a pass breakup. It just seems

1376
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,680
Speaker 1: like you have really elevated yourself to a point where

1377
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of it a lot. Does it

1378
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 1: feel that way to you or is that just me

1379
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: U catching sight of you or what? Do you feel

1380
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 1: like this is a season where your game has taken

1381
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 1: another step? I do? I do. I definitely feel like

1382
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm better this year than I was even towards the

1383
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: end of last year, you know. So, Um, I just

1384
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: want to focus on keep on keep on getting better,

1385
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: you know, and hopefully I could keep keep making plays

1386
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: and and and making this help make the team better. So, Tarn,

1387
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: I'm curious because I remember talking to in the locker

1388
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: room your first and second year and you're you're battling

1389
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: through that shoulder problem where you had to get surgery.

1390
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: And I remember talking after your first year and you said,

1391
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: the biggest thing I learned is I have to get stronger,

1392
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: bigger and stronger. Um, And you had a rehab to

1393
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: deal with the whole offseason to begin with. Where I mean, now,

1394
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 1: you know you're a young vet now and it's clear

1395
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: that you are stronger, But how is your body composition

1396
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 1: different now here in year four than what it was

1397
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 1: as a rookie or even a second year player coming

1398
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: off rehab. Uh I had actually lost like I can't remember,

1399
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: but I had lost like I want to say, like

1400
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: four percent body fat, percent of my body fat that

1401
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: I've had in uh my my second year in the

1402
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL versus now. And I mean that's that's

1403
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: a huge credit to the to the guys in the

1404
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 1: weight room and our nutrition people. Just um, just making

1405
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: sure I'm taking care of my body, you know, and

1406
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: that comes lifting, That comes with eating right, and that

1407
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: comes with taking care of my body even if I

1408
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: feel a little banged up. Tarn enjoy it. Congratulations once again,

1409
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 1: we encourage everybody to go to the website and watch

1410
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: the for the Blue and Red beyond blue and Red.

1411
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: Congratulations on the new contract, and good luck this weekend

1412
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. I appreciate it. Thank you guys. All right, Ron,

1413
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: thanks for the time. Appreciate it. As always, go get

1414
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: him on Monday night, all right, that's Tarn Johnson joining

1415
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: us here as he is part of our Fresh off

1416
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: the Field interviews, brought to you by Austin Air, the

1417
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: official clean air provider of the Buffalo Bills. I gotta

1418
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: tell you, because going into the offseason, Steve I was

1419
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: concerned he was probably the top priority, at least for

1420
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: me among the impending free agents on this roster to

1421
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 1: have him locked up before Halloween. Who that's one thing

1422
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,799
Speaker 1: off the to do list, A big one. Slot corners

1423
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 1: are in this defense. The slot corner. I mean, it's

1424
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: a starting cornerback. Yes, you know, and he's you think

1425
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: about it, and I know someday it's gonna have to

1426
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: change because the guys get long in the tooth and

1427
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: they guys get in art or whatever whatever. But you

1428
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: need guys that can really play back there. You need athletes,

1429
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: guys who are familiar with the system, guys you trust.

1430
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: And the Bills have got them all and Tarn Johnson

1431
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: is a huge part of that. He's a starting corner

1432
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And not only that, he's a slot corner,

1433
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: which is a totally different skill set that a lot

1434
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 1: of corners possessed. Is they're hard to find and he

1435
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: is really good at it. And kudos are the Bills

1436
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: for getting him locked up and getting another guy who's

1437
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: really helped them win a lot of games, getting him

1438
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: on the roster for the foreseeable future. And if you

1439
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: watch the Beyond Blue and Red feature on him that's

1440
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: up now on Buffalo bills dot com and on all

1441
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,639
Speaker 1: the Bills social platforms, you'll hear some of his teammates

1442
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: say playing that position is multifaceted. There are times where

1443
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: you got to cover like a slot guy, but there

1444
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: are times you got to play the run like a linebacker.

1445
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: And there are a multitude of different responsibilities that that

1446
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: position demands of the guy who lines up and plays it.

1447
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 1: And I thought it was a very astute moved by

1448
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: the Bills to have one of their assistant coaches specifically

1449
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: coach the nickel corner position because it is that complex

1450
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: and multifaceted in this scheme, and Jimmy Salgado does a

1451
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: heck of a job. He's he's been instrumental in Tarren

1452
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: Johnson's development, and we're kind of seeing the rewards of

1453
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: that on the field from him each and every week.

1454
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: Because you mentioned he's probably playing his best football right now.

1455
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: I think he is. I think he really got out

1456
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: of the gate fast this season. As a slot corner,

1457
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: he's you know, teams, when you play slot corner, here's

1458
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: the thing you can't hide. You're gonna get the ball

1459
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: thrown at. Yet, no matter how good you are, you're

1460
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 1: gonna get opportunities to cover up and step in front

1461
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: of place because a lot of times when your team

1462
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: brings pressure, the ball has to come out quick, and

1463
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: it comes out quick to the tight end, quick to

1464
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: the slot receiver, and that's your guy. There's just no

1465
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: escaping being challenged at the slot receiver slot corner position.

1466
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: You're always gonna get challenged, and you're gonna get opportunities

1467
01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: to play the ball. It's not like being a tradavious

1468
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: white of war. If you shut your outside guy down,

1469
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 1: you know you maybe you'll see three targets the entire game.

1470
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: You don't escape targets as a slot guy. Break time

1471
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: for us here when Steve and I come back, might

1472
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 1: be a little time for some NFL true false. Steve

1473
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:18,560
Speaker 1: and I'll bring that TNX when we return here on

1474
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo

1475
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:37,679
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. This week's game sponsor is the BF Bello Store,

1476
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: the official retailer of the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen has

1477
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: just stepped to the podium after practice here today, So

1478
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: let's get the quarterbacks thoughts on the upcoming game against

1479
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: the Titans on Monday Night Football. But obviously last year

1480
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: things did not go There were a lot of factors

1481
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,560
Speaker 1: in that game. But we walk back at that and

1482
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 1: it felt like a lot didn't play. You know, what

1483
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: do you take from that now forward? I mean, it's

1484
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 1: it's a week two week league, and you know we understand, uh,

1485
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen these guys the last few years,

1486
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: I think the last four years. Um, so we're pretty

1487
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: familiar with each other. Um, and ultimately we got to

1488
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: go out there and executive game plan. You know, they

1489
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: came out last year and they played better than we did.

1490
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,680
Speaker 1: And um, there's no understanding that fact. And you know,

1491
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 1: going into an away game, a hostile environment, it's never easy.

1492
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: So we got to be ready for for whatever they

1493
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,679
Speaker 1: throw it throw away. And you know they're playing playing

1494
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 1: really well. Um. You know on defense especially they get

1495
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: they got some dudes that can make some plays. Now,

1496
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 1: so and we understand the type of offense that they

1497
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: have and trying to limit you know, them having the ball. Um,

1498
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 1: because they're they're they're a really really good football team. UM,

1499
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: and we gotta be ready for it. But do you

1500
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 1: get any answer? He was playing like a primetime game,

1501
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, on the big stage. It seems like, you know,

1502
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: you guys have sat up on that stage the last

1503
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,680
Speaker 1: couple of times. Personally, I don't, Um, you know, I

1504
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: just kind of you know, try to live by never

1505
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 1: too high, never too low, and just try to keep

1506
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:10,600
Speaker 1: the common grounds somewhere. Um. You know, we understand what

1507
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: we're the only only team, our only game on the

1508
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 1: uh on the screen that day, and it's Monday night.

1509
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: It's big time and um, but at the end of

1510
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: the day, it's it's the same football, same game we've

1511
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: been playing for as long as we remember. And we

1512
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: got to go out there and play as such Tuesday night.

1513
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 1: I mean again, it's it's a week to week league

1514
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: and uh, every every week's a different challenge. And UM,

1515
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, we understand that this is a team that's

1516
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: gonna bring it. You know, they they they're extremely well coached. Uh,

1517
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: they're extremely disciplined. So we uh, we gotta be prepared,

1518
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: like I said, for anything, and um, they're probably gonna

1519
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,639
Speaker 1: try some new wrinkles here. We're there and every every

1520
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: year they seem like they play us better, So uh,

1521
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: we got to come out ready to go. You always

1522
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: say that specific and whoever gets the ball is the

1523
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: guy that gainst the wall. Have you've gotten with Cole

1524
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 1: the last day or two, he's he's kind of got

1525
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: a frustrated scutcher about being targeted the last two games

1526
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:12,799
Speaker 1: that he was sure. Any thoughts with him he Saturday,

1527
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: then you maybe give us little wins cold of that.

1528
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: He's been around this league for a long time. You know,

1529
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,560
Speaker 1: he's a huge piece of our offense, and he understands

1530
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 1: some games we're gonna need a more more than others.

1531
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: And I think everybody on the team understands that. But

1532
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 1: he's ready to go at all times. You know, I've

1533
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 1: got no loss of faith or confidence in him, um,

1534
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 1: And I know he feels the same way, and he

1535
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 1: just wants to help this team win football games, and

1536
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be for that, he's willing to do. UM.

1537
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: But you know, again, I got no doubt that he's

1538
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 1: going to continue to help us win games. Last week

1539
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 1: he only had twenty two steps and you guys, Cheers

1540
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: Jolian and Sweeney Isaiah, is that just a factor of

1541
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: you're trying to against the Chiefs team and he was

1542
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: throwing everything you could have them do? Is that maybe

1543
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: part of that? You know? I mean, I think it's

1544
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: it was just game plan specific, just trying to get

1545
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 1: them to see different looks and feel different things. Um

1546
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: and who knows, we might continue to do that, we

1547
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: might go back to kind of our normal stuff. But again,

1548
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: this is a team and I think really our identity

1549
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: is execute a game plan. Whatever coach Jabele has in mind,

1550
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: whether it be you know, ten personnel or twenty one

1551
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: purse or you know, twenty two personnel, whatever the case

1552
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 1: may be. We want to go out there and execute, um,

1553
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: whatever plays being called at that given time. And you know,

1554
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: that's why I love the guys that we got on

1555
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: this team. We're we're willing to do whatever it takes

1556
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: to win a football game. Um No, that's not going

1557
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:46,640
Speaker 1: to change. Looks like, well, he got down field and

1558
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: you gave him, kind of gave up take him as

1559
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: you strand up a lot of them pocket. He'll SUPs

1560
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: were you to see as that wide open? I mean

1561
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 1: it was man in and they brought us safety down

1562
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: to try to um, you know, play a little thief.

1563
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: And you know, our guys know at any given time,

1564
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: any given play, you can get the ball, you know.

1565
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 1: So it was a great job by Dawson just keeping

1566
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,640
Speaker 1: the you know, keeping the play alive, finding space and

1567
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: running to it. Um. You know it typically scrambled jewels.

1568
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 1: You want to come back to the quarterback. When he

1569
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 1: saw Steph, I think it was Steph in that area already,

1570
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: so we decided to take it the other way and

1571
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 1: it worked out in our favor. So um. But again

1572
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,759
Speaker 1: that's just the type of guys that we got. Savvy,

1573
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: want to play, want to win. Um. He made the

1574
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 1: right play and just trying to get him the ball.

1575
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: Second touchdown. Like to go back to the Texans game

1576
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: where everybody went you faked the ball towards stepped and

1577
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: Dawson was wide open. I mean, how how valuable is

1578
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: having Dawson there now and and and not to one

1579
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: of your step was a deep pot. But how valuable

1580
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: is stepped and hit that role and then you can

1581
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 1: playoff Dawson defense is no, we're steps at at all times.

1582
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: You know, you have to pay attention to him and um,

1583
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: you know, I know he hasn't had a whole lot

1584
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: of productions so far this year and taking two guys

1585
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 1: and clearing it out for somebody else behind him, um,

1586
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: because he knows, you know, sometimes the roles are gonna

1587
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: be reversed and he's gonna have his opportunities. So um.

1588
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: But again, it just kind of shows the self and

1589
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: selflessness of the guys that we got. I just you know, he's, uh,

1590
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: he's you know, an up and coming talent um and

1591
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: he's only gonna get better. You know, he's becoming more

1592
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: confident in himself. And I've had you know a lot

1593
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: of confidence in him for a long time. And um,

1594
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 1: you know, he's just one of those guys that's just

1595
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: kind of a unicorn. He's big, fast, strong, smart. You

1596
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: don't get get those guys too often. H So um

1597
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: but again, you know, whatever whatever defenses due, it's my

1598
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: job just to try to execute a game plan and

1599
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: get it to the open guy. And um, you know,

1600
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 1: our guys got open and made some plays last week,

1601
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: but this week's gonna be a different challenge, and we're

1602
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: gonna have to find ways to move the ball in

1603
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 1: this defense talked a few weeks. Are you getting over them? Really?

1604
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 1: How you do that? Last week? Three designed runs on

1605
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: the opening series. Sometimes it maybe early settle you down,

1606
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: and I think in the past that's kind of helped.

1607
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say so much now, Um to P I

1608
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: like to get the ball out quick and let our

1609
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: guys make some plays. But you know, um, whatever it's

1610
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 1: called upon me to do is what I'm willing to do.

1611
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 1: And Coach Table called up some good, good plays for

1612
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:32,640
Speaker 1: us there and I worked out in our favor. So

1613
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 1: whether that's part of our our offense moving forward, who knows. Um.

1614
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: But again it's just whatever the task at hand is,

1615
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: especially throwing the ball. Does it still feel like time

1616
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: take the ball down? Back the ball or kind of? Um?

1617
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, in different situations, I guess you know,

1618
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: when I'm dropping back and I see a lane open,

1619
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 1: first thought is like, let's take it now, you know,

1620
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 1: and you can never go broke taking a profit. Um.

1621
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: But again, I get paid to get it to this.

1622
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 1: The other guys that get paid to make people missing

1623
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: in the end zone. So um, that's what I try

1624
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: to do well. Other than energy and juice, you know,

1625
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 1: he brings knowledge. Um, he's played in the league for

1626
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 1: a long time. He's he's a savvy vet. He knows

1627
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: his job, he studies hard, he runs his routes as

1628
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: hard as he can in practice included. Um, just a

1629
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: guy that I got a lot of trust in, and

1630
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, he shows kind of the younger guys how

1631
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 1: to do it. And he's a he's a great role model,

1632
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: and he's a great dude. And uh, I love having around. Um.

1633
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 1: You know, we give each other a lot of crap

1634
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 1: throughout the day. He's I think he's the oldest guy

1635
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: on the team and I let him know it every

1636
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 1: day I can so. But he's been awesome to be

1637
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: around and I'm super super glad we were fortunate enough

1638
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: to grab him last one for Josh talk so much

1639
01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: about the Hostile Layer. What was house? What did you

1640
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:06,600
Speaker 1: guys do? I mean it was it was such a

1641
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 1: such a good environment. Um, you know, we really enjoy

1642
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: and thrive playing in those types of situations, and um,

1643
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: you know it was a lot of fun. But you know,

1644
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: going into Tennessee again, it's gonna be the same thing.

1645
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: A lot of loud fans. I know we travel well

1646
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: there pretty much. Um you know every year we go there.

1647
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 1: But uh, you know they're playing playing good football right now,

1648
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: so I expect to be on silent in the entire game.

1649
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 1: And um again, it's gonna be another another dog fight,

1650
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: and we got to be prepared for it. I guess right.

1651
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: More jelly, more jelly than peanut butter. What what? I

1652
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: am floored by the final comment, and it was very

1653
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: much in passing. Well, here's the thing too, there's a

1654
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 1: lot of sixty forty jelly to peanut butter. It's always

1655
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 1: got to be more peanut butter, doesn't it. Yeah, I

1656
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: think in my pace. But here's the thing too. And

1657
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 1: one of the things I can't believe we're talking about.

1658
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm that here's the thing. My last week, first day

1659
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,720
Speaker 1: and went the Tuesday last this week, three days ago,

1660
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:13,759
Speaker 1: I came and had two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

1661
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 1: as a precursor to this conversation. My wife made them.

1662
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: Not only do you have to have the right ratio

1663
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,720
Speaker 1: of peanut butter and jelly, but she made him my

1664
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: sandwiches like she used to make our kids sandwiches for school.

1665
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 1: Would you get triangle cuts? No? Oh, thin, real thin

1666
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,600
Speaker 1: peanut butter. You know, the sandwich is about what's in

1667
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: the sandwich, not the bread. I agree. So you gotta

1668
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: have enough peanut butter and enough jelly both to make

1669
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 1: it a sandwich and not just you know, bread with

1670
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: something smeared on it. Look, it was like a stuck

1671
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: together doorflap. It's basically what that's that is unacceptable. Yeah,

1672
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm completely the other way. I'm seventy thirty peanut butter

1673
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 1: and jelly. No, I got If you have that much jelly,

1674
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a dish rag for a sandwich if

1675
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: you're not eating it right away away, then if you're picking. No,

1676
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you're pack your lunch in the morning and

1677
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: you go sixty percent jelly, that other side of the

1678
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 1: sandwich is gonna be a dish rag. It's gonna soak

1679
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: up all the gelatin. It really does. Message doesn't bother

1680
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: me that much though, So it's not about the taste

1681
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 1: for you, it's about the getting well. I want I

1682
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: want to be able to taste the jelly because here's

1683
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: what you but I don't want it to overpower the sandwich. Yeah,

1684
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 1: so I'm with you. Seventy thirty, I mean sixty five

1685
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: thirty five is the farthest. Not saying. I'm not saying

1686
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: fifty fifty sixty forty is aggressive. Jelly to peanut butter.

1687
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,679
Speaker 1: Sixty forty peanut butter to jelly is what I like. Yeah,

1688
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I get it. I'm not I'm

1689
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: with you. It's a great sandwich, no matter what's on it,

1690
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:50,759
Speaker 1: no matter what kind of jelly. But I'm an American.

1691
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm a red jelly guy. More jelly. Yeah, I'm a strawberry, raspberry,

1692
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:59,640
Speaker 1: grape jelly, grape jelly. I don't mind grape jelly at all,

1693
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 1: but I'm I like the red jellies better raspberries and

1694
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 1: the strawberries and venture into that terry. Yeah, it's it's

1695
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 1: good stuff anyway. It's an iconic meal, and it's it's

1696
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: almost it's proud as American is most right, I think

1697
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: so too most of us. You kind of make your

1698
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: own right. I mean, kids want to the moms make it.

1699
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 1: The moms make it right right, if you want to

1700
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 1: be done right, That's exactly my point. Preference. Do not

1701
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: complain about a sandwich that you made. Yeah. Uh, some

1702
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 1: interesting comments from Josh there more importantly than the peanut

1703
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:34,799
Speaker 1: butter and jelly. I'm sorry I forgot about it. He shoked,

1704
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,639
Speaker 1: didn't he? Uh. There were a lot of questions about

1705
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: Beasley's lack of usage within the scope of the offense.

1706
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 1: I think he only got twenty two snaps last week,

1707
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: one reception. I think he only got targeted twice, didn't

1708
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 1: even go out there on a couple of third downs.

1709
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: Josh seemed to indicate it was game plan related and

1710
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 1: that they were trying to throw some different things at

1711
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. That's what echoed through in mcdermot's comments right

1712
01:27:57,840 --> 01:27:59,719
Speaker 1: after the game as well. Game plans. So it wouldn't

1713
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 1: bries me at all if you know, the very next

1714
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: game he's I mean, we shouldn't forget against Washington, he

1715
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: had eleven receptions, right, you know what I mean. So

1716
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of game plan specific stuff, I

1717
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: think more than anything else. And Brian Dable, if he

1718
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: believes that going with other resources to win a football

1719
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: game is going to be more effective, he's going to

1720
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 1: do that. And he trusts that the veterans and other

1721
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 1: players on this team that have roles will understand that

1722
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:29,560
Speaker 1: it is game plan specific. It has nothing to do

1723
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:31,479
Speaker 1: with their abilities as a player. I think you can

1724
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 1: tip your hat to the roster too, because most of

1725
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 1: the guys, Steph Diggs, they are they have been selfless

1726
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 1: in their words and what they say about each other.

1727
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: They have noticed it about each other, about how the

1728
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: room is unselfish, about how everybody's for each other. And

1729
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 1: that's a great atmosphere to be a part of. So

1730
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the coaches have been harping on that

1731
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: and cultivating that kind of atmosphere. And it comes from

1732
01:28:57,200 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 1: the best players because guys like you know, Steph Diggs

1733
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 1: and Josh and Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders and all

1734
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 1: these guys, you know, they're not going to be in

1735
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: the middle of it all the time, and how they

1736
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: handle it is really important to the guys who are

1737
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: down the roster, and so far it's been stellar. All Right,

1738
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: we're done for today, but we'll be back tomorrow with

1739
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 1: the triumphant return of Tasker's teammates rereg co Sell and

1740
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 1: some players sound as well. You don't want to miss it.

1741
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 1: We'll be jam packed for you tomorrow. See that
