117

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: Because I know Rob, and I'm thinking here's the question.

119
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, what are you thinking? That's not you?

120
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: He's never had anything like that before or since? What

121
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: was that why did you have that we lost his temper.

122
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: That's what happened. Yeah, him say that, wouldn't you. I mean, yeah,

123
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't know has he ever given an explanation about it.

124
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you really talked about it at the

125
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: end after the game when he actually did it, So

126
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know, Yeah, Belichick didn't like he

127
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: apologized at the end of the game for to uh

128
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: sean right, and uh, I'm sure it came up in

129
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: film study, no question about it. But right, yeah, that's

130
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: yeah what that's what bad thing. It was a bad thing.

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: It's a bad thing. And it wasn't really in character

132
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: with the rest of his entire career, that's what. And

133
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't and it seems out of out of character

134
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: for him as a person too. Yeah, so I know,

135
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, I've lost my temper on

136
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: the field a bunch and your last game, you ever,

137
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: that's not even a dropping a bucket. That getting thrown

138
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: out my last game wasn't even dropping a bucket compared

139
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: to some of the times I've lost my temper. You

140
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: just I get it. I mean, you got to hold

141
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: on to it. You can't let it happen. But man,

142
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: oh man, it's happened to me more than a handful

143
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: of times where you just lose it. So I'm obviously

144
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: that's what happened to Rob frustration and Offsion. Yeah, well,

152
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: impressions of the Bills three And I'll start, well, you know,

153
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: I think the general impression from you know that I

154
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: have is that, you know, what, when are we going

155
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: to put together four quarters of good football? I think

156
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: that's been kind of I think you guys have probably

157
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: talked about it. The fans have probably talked about it.

158
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, because if you don't put four good quarters

159
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: of football together against this team, you might not be

160
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: in it in the fourth quarter, right, And so I

161
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: think obviously with that being said, you know, it's you

162
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: know it, it should feel like Sunday, it should feel

163
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: like a playoff game. It really should feel like a

164
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: playoff game because the fans are going to be in

165
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: it no matter what, from the start to the beginning.

166
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: But I think as the first, second, third, and four

167
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: quarter ago, we have to see the improvement of the

168
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: especially the Buffalo Bills offense in the second half. Yeah,

169
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: that's been kind of my main point, in my main

170
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: reason that I want to see this team do well.

171
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: I want to see them go up against a quality

172
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: football team and do well all four quarters. And that's

173
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: talking about all phases of the game too, Offense, defense,

174
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: as special teams. I mean, if it wasn't for the

175
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: penalty last week, they'd have a ninety two yard kickoff

176
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: return against them, right, and that's not good when you're

177
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: talking about playing a top tier team. This is what

178
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: you have to do for four quarters and they haven't

179
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: done that yet, and this will be a perfect time

180
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: for them to do it. It's been my kind of

181
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: chant all week because you gotta play mistake free. I mean,

182
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: the Bills have the Bills have the talent on this

183
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: roster to compete and win this game, but they got

184
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: to play mistake free because that's what the Patriots force

185
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: you to do you gotta play mistake free. You can't

186
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: turn it over, you can't throw interceptions, you can't fumble

187
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: the ball away going in. You can't, you know what

188
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: I mean. And so that's I think the mantra they

189
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: gotta go with. You just gotta know, you gotta play

190
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: your best, play hard, play fast, play loose and all

191
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: of that because that's where you play. But you got

192
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: to do it without any mistakes. You got to do

193
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: it not a mistake. And I think another factor is

194
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: that too. You know, you have to you have to

195
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: convert third downs. You have to convert third downs to

196
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: keep this offense off I mean we've said this over

197
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: the last fifteen twenty years. You keep Tom Brady on

198
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: the offense and don't give him a lot of chances

199
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: to be out there in the football fill on the offense.

200
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: You complete third down I mean you're talking about anywhere

201
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: from fifty to seventy five percent. If you can complete

202
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: that higher percentage, you should have a great opportunity to

203
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: win the football game. So, like you say, mistake free football,

204
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: that's what they have to do here. Yeah, um, I

205
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: want to know what you think of the opposition for

206
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: each of these teams. The Bill's opponents have gone one

207
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: and eight, so further this year, the Precords have gone

208
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: on nine. So although both teams are three and old,

209
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: you have to look at who they played, who they've beaten, right,

210
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: That's part of the that's part of the equation here.

211
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: It is it is, I mean, which team is going

212
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: to play better? I mean, are you going to be

213
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: in a situation where if you're in the Bills and

214
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: you're in this thing all the way until the fourth

215
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: quarter and it's thirteen thirteen or something like that, you know,

216
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: you feel more confident that, Okay, this is a quality

217
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: football team that you're hanging with right now, and that

218
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: should give you a little bit more confidence in this

219
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: game throughout this game really from the first and through

220
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: the fourth quarters. So yeah, it's interesting to see because,

221
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: like you said, nobody has really played anybody tough and

222
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: this is kind of their first game of the season

223
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: against somebody. Legit, both teams. We got a good Twitter

224
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: poll today. We want to get Thurman in on and

225

231
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: over the Patriots look like for the Bills? What would

232
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: a Bills victory over the Patriots look like? Would it

233
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: be a eight low scoring, good defensive game. Would it

234
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: be be a shootout in the Bills outscoring New England.

235
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Would it be see a close game that goes right

236
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: down to the final drive, or something else? So let

Speaker 1: right now, anyway, most of you forty five percent vote

244
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: see the Bills victory over the Patriots if it comes

245
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: with they be a game that goes down to the

246
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: final drive. Thirty four percent of you, about a third

247
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: like yeah, a third say low scoring, good defensive game.

248
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: It's all bad. You get it only fifteen percent say

249
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: you shoot out the Bills out score the Pants, and

250
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: six percent say other let's discuss. I like, you know,

251
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: I like thirty four two Thurman. I do think it's

252
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a low scoring, good defensive game. I think

253
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: I'll make pick. Steve and I are gonna make picks

254
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: the last segment right today. Yeah, I'm gonna pick the

255
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: Bills by a point seventeen sixteen, I think, yeah, by

256
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: one point and a scoring game. I'm picking them by

257
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: three seventeen fourteen. I think it's gonna two good defenses.

258
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: Patriots are great on paper defensively against those three week games,

259
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: but really two good defenses in this They played really

260
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: well and they they won those games. The Patriots won

261
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: those games the way you would think the world champions

262
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: should win those games. Bad opponents get crushed, good crushed

263
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: and they don't play, you know, they just and the

264
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: Patriots played great. Um, they're supposed to win games, like

265
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: you think, even at this level. It's hard to win

266
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: game that games that big. But the Patriots, they were

267
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: up twenty to nothing. Now it was Luke Falk for

268
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the Jets last one. I mean, I get it right,

269
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: you know. So They're up twenty to nothing with thirteen

270
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: minutes left in the second quarter, so you know, you

271
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: pull the rip chord at halftime and you know, not assist.

272
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: You guys are saying that it's gonna be the lowest,

273
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: probably gonna be a high schooling game. Forty three forty Yeah, yeah,

274
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: for sure, I'm going you know, we're gonna be. I

275
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: think the defenses for both teams are great, but I'm

276
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: gonna go a little bit hard. I'm gonna going twenty three,

277
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 1: twenty bills, three stilts, still relatively low Scott because I

278
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: think I think both of these defenses are good even

279
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: though they haven't played anybody. I do think the New

280
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: England Patriots are a really good football team. And uh

281
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: and once I got the really actually thinking about it,

282
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: you know who's playing really well for them, Stephan Gilmore. Yeah,

283
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: he's playing really well. And when you have a cornerback

284
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: that's playing that well and he can match up man

285
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: the man on anybody that cuts half of the field off,

286
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: that cuts half of the field off. So I don't

287
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: actually know if you know, like I said, they haven't

288
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: played anybody, but I think with them having that advantage

289
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: and having step on the on the football field and

290
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: really covering whoever Josh Brown or I know he won't

291
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: be inside on Cole Beasley, but he'll be on the

292
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: outside and that takes the way half of the field. So, um,

293
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: you know, it should be an interesting game. But I

294
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: think the Bills, you know, their secondary has really played

295
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: well too. They yes, absolutely they have. I am so

296
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: impressed with Mica Hot and Jordan Poor and how they've

297
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: really handled that secondary and been on point with every

298
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: single game. I mean, they've they've been outstanding. Poor was

299
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: supporting the run. I mean, those two guys, I think

300
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: they're probably the best to safety times in the National

301
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: Football League. When you talk about playing Brady and Belichick

302
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: in that offense, those the safeties are probably the biggest factor,

303
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: aren't that making sure they can disguise not known. Brady

304
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: won't know exactly what the coverage is until the ball

305
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: after the ball is snapped, and then you know, if

306
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: you can get some pressure or if the ball has

307
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: to come out quick. He may not be one hundred

308
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: percent sure what he's looking at in the back hand.

309
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: And one of the things that you have heard from

310
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick over the past couple of years is that

311
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: he's always talked about the Buffalo Bill's safeties, He's always

312
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: talked about their secondary, so right there, he knows that

313
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: they present a problem for Tom Brady. And I think

314
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: with even being in this system for a third year,

315
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: I think they're going to continue to give him problems.

316
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: I just I just feel that our secondary is playing very,

317
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: very well. Trede White, you know, obviously two interceptions last week,

318
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: and like those guys are playing well, It's gonna be

319
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: a big task for him. I mean because having Josh Josh,

320
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Gordon Dorset, Edelman don't know if he's going to play

321
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: or not. I mean, but I think when you look

322
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: at a guy like Edelman, I think because of the

323
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: offense that Bills are running now and Cole Beasley being

324
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: in that slot, the defensive backs have a little bit

325
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: bit more understanding of what Julian and edem are going

326
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: to do because they go against Cole Beasley a lot

327
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: every single day, says training camp in the slot, So

328
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: I think they have a good idea of of what

329
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna do and how they're going to do it.

330
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: And I'll say another for another person, I think Tremaine

331
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: Edmond is playing outstanding football right now. And he's gonna

332
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: be a key too, because they do throw to James

333
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: White a lot out of the backfield. Yeah, they got

334
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: three good backs page yet. Yeah, I think Rex Burkhead's

335
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: pretty good number thirty four for them. James White is

336
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: good in the course. Sony Michelle was one of the

337
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: top rookies last year. What do you think about this game?

338
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the game and what would have Bills

339
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: victory or the Patriots look like Thurmers with us for

340
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: the next fifteen minutes or so, give us a call.

341
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Let's take a few calls here. We'll go to David Hilton,

342
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: New York. You got you got airphone in right, Yeah, Dave,

343
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with this. Hey guys,

344
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: I love watching guys every day. Thank you, Dave. Thanks.

345
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: I just want to say, man, you are Mike. I

346
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: thanks man. I loved watching you. You You're the guy

347
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: in my heyday, you know, back when I was a

348
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: teenager into my twenties, and uh man, I just loved

349
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: watching you play. Thank you. I want to know what

350
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: you think about Kevin's singletary. He you know, he reminds

351
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: me a lot of the way that you played, so, um,

352
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: I was just wondering what you thought about him and

353
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: uh and just his overall game. Do you think he

354
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: reminds you of yourself? Um? I really, I mean I

355
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of it, you know. I mean

356
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: I've seen spurts of him whatever. But you know what,

357
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: I got ten carries. He's only got ten carries exactly,

358
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: So I mean I need to see a little bit more.

359
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: You can see obviously has an explosive get up when

360
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: he gets out of the backfield and gets in the

361
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: open space. You know, I haven't seen him really pick

362
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: up the blitz. I haven't really seen him catch the

363
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: ball out of the back field. I don't know if

364
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: they were allowing him to do that. But you know

365
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: his size and the way that he runs, the way

366
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: that he runs to daylight, as Eli's pitch used to

367
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: say all the time, run to daylight. He has a

368
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: great he has great balance, great visions. So I just

369
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: need to see a little bit more out of him.

370
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, this hamstring injury is going to bother him

371
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: the entire year. I don't know. You know, I just

372
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: still need to see a little bit more because as

373
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: you get deeper and deeper into the season and you

374
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: start playing defenses that have had you know, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

375
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: ten games a film on you. You know they planned

376
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: for stuff like that. Well, how can we not get

377
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: this guy in the in the passing game? Do we

378
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: blitz two guys to keep him in to see if

379
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: he can pick up the bliss package from a linebacker

380
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: or safety. So there was a lot more to go

381
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: into this. I know people are excited about it, and

382
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited about I mean, the Bills have always done

383
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: one thing throughout their history in the National Football League.

384
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: They've kept great running backs. They've always been able to

385
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: keep a good running back here in this system him

386
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: for a number of years and hopefully he can get

387
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: healthy and be a plus for his offense. Yeah, thanks, guys,

388
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: thank you. Let's go to Tom and Buffalo. Hello, Tom,

389
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey guys, how are you? How

390
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: are you? Big fan? I'm like forty five. To put

391
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: it in perspective, I saw you play your whole career.

392
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: You're fantastic. The way you would go into the hole

393
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: and out of the hall and make the guy commit

394
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: to the one hole. I have a question for you.

395
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: Last year at the Patriots game. I was in attendance,

396
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: and your Wall of Fame speech was it was great,

397
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: and I was completely into your speech. And then I

398
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: see the Bill's team respectfully watching from the tunnel. And

399
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: then about maybe halfway or maybe two thirds way into

400
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: the speech, I see all the Patriots come out onto

401
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: the field and just started warming up like they owned

402
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: the place. And I thought that was a disrespectful move,

403
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: and I wanted to ask you if you notice that

404
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: and if it impacted your speech at all. Not at all.

405
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: I was concentrating on the speech. I didn't care who

406
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: was on the field or whatever. You know, it was

407
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: a special moment for my former teammates there and really

408
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: for all a little alumni that were there that weekend,

409
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I wasn't even worried about whether the

410
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: pacier was out there warming up, kicking field goals, punting

411
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know. It was just it was just

412
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: a special moment for me. And when when those times

413
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: come along, you know, you block out the distractions and

414
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: all that goes into it. So no, it it didn't

415
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: distract me at all. I was I was, you know,

416
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: it was there for the fans and my former teammates,

417
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: and everybody. So no, sir, speech went long. No, Yeah,

418
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: that was a great night. Remember how good the stadium

419
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: looked at No, it was beautiful, was really good, absolutely beautiful,

420
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: really fantastic. But asted the questions. No, it wasn't. It

421
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: wasn't a distraction. Yeah, that's great, I get it. It was.

422
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: It was one of my fat might have been one

423
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: of my favorite all time since I've retired. One of

424

00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: Usually I don't get to be a stuff like that

429
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: because all the years I was in it. But man,

430
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,639

Speaker 1: Good morning, gentlemen. I want to tell you about my

436
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: exciting football experience. This morning. I woke up with the

437
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: television on as usual, and it was I'm the NFL Channel,

438
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: and guys, the NFL Channel crew just went nuts over

439
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: the bills. Yeah, we're watching it in our office. I'm

440
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, right, Kyle Brandt, Steve we were talking.

441
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: He's sort of the ringleader, right our guests. Yeah, he

442
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: comes on on Tuesdays. Now, he's full on buffalo maniac.

443
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: Now it's awesome. Oh, it's fantastic. But you know, they

444
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: were singing the praises of Ed Alva and the anticipation

445
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: that Ed's going to have a big game and sack

446
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: Brady Um. But the respect they've paid the Dawson Knox,

447
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: it just blew my socks off. Well, did you see

448
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: Kyle brand on our show? I mean, he had Dawson

449
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: knoxes his angry run winner this this week, and he

450
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: was on our show Tuesday talking about it. Right, he's

451
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: on every Tuesday. He's on the He's on the Jugger

452
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: Knox train right now. A lot of people are yeah, yeah,

453
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: he's and he's playing well. And it was just I

454
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: think he caught a little few people by surprise because

455
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: there was like some other tight ends in the draft

456
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: that were a little more highly touted coming out. Dawson

457
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: knock didn't have a touchdown, and since his junior year

458
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: of high school he hadn't caught a touchdown. Caught one

459
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: early in that game, and then then laid this angry

460
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: run that we're talking about on the whole crew at

461
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: him and I mean that guy, I mean it was

462
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: a bug on a windshield. That second guy it was.

463
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: It was a nice run. But yeah, the Good Morning

464
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: Football crew on the NFL network, they're on every morning.

465
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: They are really giving the Bills some love this week.

466
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: We'll see if it continues next week. What's your name?

467
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: It's coming here? What's your name? The hostess dam live

468
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: here at Oh god, I hope. My brother in law's

469
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: and looking at the show and just said, did you

470
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: just say that Kate Adams coming? Oh my god? Yeah,

471
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: never mind, I'm sure I get a text here in

472
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: a minute why she's coming. Let's take all here from

473
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: Mark and Buffalo. Mark, you're on the air of this

474
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: with me and Steve Tasker and Thurman Thomas. I think

475
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna be a big defensive game. Yeah,

476
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: I think so too. Patriots defensive numbers are sixth or

477
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: thirteen percent. Opponents third downs number one in every every

478
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: category that matters on defense and yet and I don't

479
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: think the Bills will rack up points, but I think

480
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: they can do some business against these guys. Look, we're

481
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: saying that the Patriots are the best team the Bills

482
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: that face you know what, The Bills are the best

483
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: teaming pat players. Yeah, yeah, you know, even though we're

484
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: talking about Singletary, I'm in the rest of the see

485
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: how Frank Gore does. Yeah, that that right there could

486
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: be a game changer that if he can control the boy,

487
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling he's an old engine exactly. He still runs

488
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: good man. I mean, look at that fourteen carres seven

489
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: to six year olds five point four yearsburg carry against

490
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: the Bengals last week wearing twenty five year old shoes,

491
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: twenty five year old shoes. If he can, I'm telling you,

492
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: if he can get that type of productive this Sunday, Yeah,

493
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: that's a difference maker. It really is a difference. He's

494
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: been there before. If you're if you win the turnover

495
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: battle in this game, you're gonna win the game, because

496
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be about being getting the points are gonna

497
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: be a premium. I think in this game. I don't

498
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be. I just there's no way these

499
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: teams are gonna score thirty points against each other. Thirty

500
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: thirty five, you know what I mean? Yeah, I think

501
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: you really need every field goal, every bit of field

502
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: position you can get, every first down. I think it's

503
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a really hard fought battling guys like Gore

504
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: and the running game for the pat Patriots, they you know,

505
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: they use their running game really effectively. If you don't

506
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: turn it over, you give yourself a chance in this

507
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: game because of your defense. I think that's what that's

508
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: got to be. What day Ball and Sean McDermot are telling,

509
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: Sean telling Josh Allen and certainly Belichick and those guys

510
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: they know you don't turn they don't overturn it over. Yeah,

511
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: I think this, if you win the turnover battle in

512
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: this game, it's gonna do it go a long way

513
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: towards giving me a chance to win. Give me a

514
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: chance of it, and just think about it. I mean,

515
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: four games into the season they four and over the

516
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: Patriots of three and one. How much confidence that'll get

517
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: that football team. I mean, it can really will. I

518
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question it'll mean more to the

519
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo fan base than it would the Patriots just another

520
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: week at the office, and for their fans, they're like, yes,

521
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: it's just Buffalo. Yeah. And I think and I think

522
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: they have the perfect coach forward to I think Sean

523
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: McDermot has been preaching to these guys, Hey, look, even

524
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: last week, don't look ahead. Don't look ahead to the Patriots.

525
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: And even after you win, if you have a chance

526
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: to win this ball game against hey celebrated Sunday, come

527
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: back Monday, ready to go to work against exactly right,

528
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be mistakes in the game, probably or whatever,

529
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to correct those mistakes. So I

530
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: think he's been man, he's been the perfect guy for

531
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: the job to keep these players on an even killed

532
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: level of looking forward at the big Patres. They got

533
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: to hit it on all cylindes. They gotta hit it

534
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: on all the selden and I think they will call

535
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: her from Peter and Boston. Hello, Peter, welcome to the show. Hey,

536
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: thank you for having me, and I'm calling true tell

537
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: you guys how much I respect the Buffalo fan base

538
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: and they're the reason they come out every years for

539
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: this Patriots game. And Buffo fans. Buffalo Mafia does not

540
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: get enough credit. I mean, I am amazed with how

541
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: law of the fan base was, you know, husband, especially

542
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: uh when Andy's dult and um, you know I made

543
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass and the fans got behind Andy Dalton

544
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: and uh, the fact that they made it back to

545
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Even I cried, you know it, Peter, do

546
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: you come all Patriots geared up for this game? Like?

547
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: Will you wear Patriots gear at the stadium here? I

548
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: used to wear my Matthew Slatter jersey because yeah, if

549
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: Matthew Slade is the closest thing to Steve Tasker's point

550
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: special team, you know, so you know, people that worked

551
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: hid in the task wishes he was Matthews Later. I

552
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: bet later would tell you different exactly. I think I've

553
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: heard of quote where he was talking about Tasker too.

554
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: We are you talking about this guy? Should? We're gonna

561
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: Well you're here. We'll take one more call while Thurman

562
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: is with us, and let's go to Adam and Rochester.

563
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Adam, you're on the air. Hey guys, thanks

564
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Thurman, thank you for coming on

565
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: the show today and taking time out of your data

566
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: talk to us. Um. I wanted to make the point

567
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: that Week one, they had a pick six and a safety,

568
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: so there's eight points that the defense did not allow.

569
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: And if you include the Week three pick against the

570
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: Bengals that they scored on, that would be fifteen points

571
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: from the offense that has allowed points to be scored.

572
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: So really, when you look at the total points allowed,

573
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of a stewed and I kind of wanted

574
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: you guys to elaborate on that and like, well, it's

575
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: the same thing for the Patriots, Adam. The Patriots gave

576
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: up a pick six last week and a muff and

577
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: what a muff punt for a touchdown and that goes

578
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: against them as well, So they're even better than their

579
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: stats say as well. But you're right, I mean I

580
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: get it. I think it's defensive points allowed are much

581
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: different than team points allowed. But that but the stats say,

582
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: what's the team allowed it? And it counts for pick

583
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: sixes as well. But I get it, but just more

584
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: of a comparison of like how egal these teams seem

585
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: to be, you know, by looking at it from both

586
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: of those perspectives. Yeah, that's a good point. You're right,

587
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: uh right, they've they've had their way with some bad

588
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: football teams. I mean, and you should they should. Now

589
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: the Bills have struggled more than the Patriots have. The

590
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: Bills have letting let the Bengals back in the game

591
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: when they couldn't, you know, with turnovers and all that

592
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: other stuff that you mentioned, And the Patriots didn't really

593
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: were never threatened in their games. Maybe the Steeler game

594
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: maybe got a little deeper into it before it was over,

595
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: but it was over early. And of course the Dolphins

596
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: and Jets games were over quick. So yeah, after the

597
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: coin flip. So you're right, both teams, Like I said,

598
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: both teams are really playing well against bad opponents, and

599
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: both I think, well, they're receiving their biggest test to

600
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: their season this weekend. Um, how do they measure up?

601
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out. We're gonna find out Hey, Thurmo.

602
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: To your point, I found the quote you and I

603
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: both remember two years ago Matthew Slater going to the

604
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl for the time. Yeah, don't yeah, don't listen.

605
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Matthew Slater said, I think about Steve Tasker. This Matthew

606
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: Slater number eighteen Sunday for the Patriots. He's obviously talking

607
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: about Tasker the best special teams player of all time

608
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: because of him, Slater said, guys like myself have a

609
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: job to me. He'll always be in a league of

610
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: his own. But it is certainly humbling to have your

611
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: name mentioned alongside Steve Taskers. Did we offend you somehow?

612
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: Totally offensive? Rury's coming to the game, watching the game.

613
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: You're going with family and hanging out yamily watching the game.

614
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Man dropped by Jim's thing. Obviously. Yeah I'll be there.

619
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: what's a big weekend for me? Really? I mean it's

622
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: so it's his own home opener too. So um no,

00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: we're excited this week. Keep it between the lines. Okay,

633
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: Patriots kick it up at one o'clock. Let's talk about

634
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots a little bit on the line with us

635
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: right now. Former Patriots linebacker now an NFL analyst for

636
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: Nesson in New England, writes for The Athletic. He gets

637
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: involved with ESPN and Patriots dot Com. Happy to have

638
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: Mett Chattam on the line with us hold on Matt

639
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: John Murphy's team tasker over here in Buffalo. Thank you

640
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: for joining us today. We appreciate its thanks for having me,

641
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: Guy A. Matt, you have written this, I guess the

642
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Patriots fans on the athletic telling them to pump the

643
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: brakes on the Patriots hype? What did you mean by that?

644
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: What do you see there? Well, roll to the Patriots.

645
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: I think you know, it's just it's an early season,

646
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, a tremendous early stretch. And I love the

647
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: roster makeup. I think all the reasons for optimism are there,

648
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: but it puts you in a sort of an odd

649
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: spot to be pumping up the notion of what this

650
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: team might be based upon September when we've seen so

651
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: many times where their September was irrelevant where they ended.

652
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of just, Hey, we've been through

653
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: this process before. I love the roster. I think there's

654
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: plenty of reasons for that optimism. But if we're gonna

655
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: be a little bit snarky to everyone else about, you know,

656
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 1: making too big of a deal about this time of year,

657
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: I think they have to do it themselves. Yeah, one

658
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: of the things I want to ask you about how

659
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: much of and now the Patriots have played extremely well,

660
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: they've beaten teams they should have beaten, and they've beaten

661
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: them soundly, how much of it goes to the roster

662
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: makeup that you refer to and the fact that they

663
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: played the Jets, Miami Dolphins, and a Steelers team that

664
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be what usual Steelers teams are. Well,

665
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, when you're beating teams by thirty and forty points, say,

666
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's what would it have been twentieth

667
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: opponent was better? I mean, I think it's some extent

668
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: it's it's the team that's kicking the other team's butt.

669
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: That's the real story. But to bring up the roster thing,

670
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: I think that's where I'll probably be contradicting myself here

671
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. But if if you want to last

672
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: the season and you want to continue to play at

673
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: a high level, I think it's it's awfully helpful to

674
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: be more than just one or two or three players

675
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: away from some sort of record change. And I think

676
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: that's where the roster is particularly strong. The wide receiver

677
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: group is is awful deep. You know, when a guy

678
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: like Antonio Brown, It comes in and out the door

679
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: in a week, and really the overall production doesn't change much.

680
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: I think that says a lot to what you're about.

681
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: I think the back end in a time now where

682
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: the NFL loves to, you know, sit out there in

683
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: eleven personnel or even ten and put three and four

684
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes even a fifth receiver on the field, and

685
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: they built a secondary that's awful strong right up into

686
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: that fifth and sixth dB, the pass rush group. I mean, shoot,

687
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: even covering this team and calling the games for them

688
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: for the preseason and trying to figure out who the

689
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: heck they're going to use week to week. I mean,

690
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: they've got so many different people, from Michael Bennett to

691
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: Dante high Tower to Jamie Collins now to Chase One

692
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: of which the new rookie Shalee Calhoun as a as

693
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: a sort of reclamation project, has been done an excellent

694
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: job for them. John Simons from Ohio State, who we

695
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: often forget about that but is always doing a good job.

696
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: It's just they're so incredibly deep, you know, and I

697
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: think that helps if you're sort of talking about long

698
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: term prospects, because you can weather a loss or two

699
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: or three kind of guys. Hey, I'm glad you're talking

700
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: about the defense, man, because I want to ask you

701
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: about this. I mean, the numbers for the Patriots defense

702
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 1: are staggering the first three games, and we know who

703
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: they played and all that, but um, I'm wanting there's

704
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: no one guy on that defense you point to and

705
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: say that's why they're so good. And I'm I was

706
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: looking at them all week thinking is its speed, is

707
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: it smarts, is it all of the above? Is it

708
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: familiarity with the defense? What would how would you account

709
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: for how well they played defensively so far through this

710
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: first three games this year? Yeah, I mean, I think

711
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: you hit on most of the high notes, and you

712
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: know it's not entirely fair because it's essentially two thirds,

713
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: maybe three quarters of the group. But I think this

714
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: extends back to a historical performance in the in the

715
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl. You know, you take you take the biggest

716
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: change and what a team does typically they're normal scoring

717
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: is up around thirty points and you hold them the three.

718
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of the biggest change deficits in

719
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: the super Bowl that's happened. I think it wasn't the

720
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: biggest in super Bowl history, so it's it's buying large

721
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: that same group. You trade out Trey Flowers for Michael Bennett,

722
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: you add that Juwan Williams to the draft, and there's

723
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: a secondround pick and Chase win Events who I mentioned.

724
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 1: But other than that, it's it's largely the same crew.

725
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: And then they, as you mentioned, to blow through their

726
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: first three opponents, and at least they did untill catch

727
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh while it was still Big Ben and you know,

728
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: Juju and those kind of guys. So I don't think

729
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: that's it's any small task keeping them to three, even

730
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: if they've struggled a little bit to not be a

731
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: thirty point kind of offense like other times. But I

732
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: think the biggest issues that they are great on, the

733
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: things that they cause problems for other people is that

734
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: they're so multiple. You know, they really have this sort

735
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: of feel of waves of personnel. You know, there's a

736
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: rush group that's entirely different from their base regular group,

737
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: and they really are good on both of those areas.

738
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 1: Danny Shelton has been a revelation for them in sort

739
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: of a minimal role player. But if they have to

740
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: go big and Lawrence guy and here beside one another

741
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: that's a great, big group and they can play traditional

742
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: three four and really really be great in that. But

743
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: then once the game transitions, and fortunately for those guys

744
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, you have someone scoring.

745
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: You know, Brady's group puts a couple scores up early

746
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: in the first half, and now you get to play

747
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: from ahead and when they're when they're trailing, they've got

748
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: that great rush personnel and I just think the combinations there,

749
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: and it was to find Gilmore there on the back

750
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: end obviously you guys know him well. And the depth

751
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: that they have on their back end as well. It's

752
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: just it's three levels and then the corresponding group on

753
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: the other side just make things work. So well, how's

754
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady playing in your eyes? You're saying he's been

755
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: able to score their very efficient offensively. They also, you know,

756
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: they can run the football through the football, and they've

757
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: got a depth of knowledge about their system that allows

758
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: them to go back in time and grab things that

759
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: will work against some wrinkle that a defense shows them.

760
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: And how's Tom Brady look to you at this point?

761
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: And especially you know what will happen if Edelman is

762
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: compromised in some way. Yeah, I mean, it's a great

763
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: question with Tom because it's something obviously that gets batted

764
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: around here quite a bit each year. And I think

765
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: the thing that has been so impressive over him of

766
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: the course of his career for you know, that dozen

767
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: different reasons, but I think his adaptability is one of

768
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: the biggest things. When you look at this year's crew

769
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: in the absence of Gronk and the absence now James

770
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: Devil and their fullback and the packages that sort of

771
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: came with that they led with twenty one personnel, you know,

772
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: it was a real big hammer for them down the

773
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: stretch and you've now essentially taken their lead group away

774
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 1: from them. You know that they're not running the fullback

775
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: stuff because Devon is now hurt. I mean, well, I

776
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: guess we'll see in the Bills game if they are

777
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: willing to bring up this guy, Jacob Johnson. He was

778
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: a German born player at the ninety first guy in

779
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: the roster kind of thing, and it looks like, well

780
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: they have activated him. He was active a week ago

781
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: but didn't take any fullback snaps. But relative to Tom,

782
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: to have something that was sort of, you know, in

783
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: a championship season, the thing that you did most and

784
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: completely wiped that off and then come back and score

785
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: whatever it is forty three thirty three thirty kind of

786
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: thing weeks in a row. It just shows that, Okay,

787
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: if that's not going to be there and there isn't

788
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: going to be much of a Sony Michelle package with

789
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: two backs and those kind of things, we'll transition, you know,

790
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: I'll spread the ball to four and five receivers. Well,

791
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: we'll just target other people. So I think the fact

792
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: that he can pretty much manage any offensive other than

793
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: maybe a read option kind of situation. But Tom can transition,

794
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's why they stay good. Hey man, I

795
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: have a sense and maybe a dread that even though

796
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon has not been the most productive Patriots wide receiver,

797
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: he is the most dangerous weapon they have in that group,

798
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: and one of these weeks he's going to break out.

799
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: What do you think, I'd say he's one of the

800
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: many dangerous let's put it that way. I mean, one

801
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: thing that has happened here that I've been sort of

802
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: pom pomming just because I think the guy got a bad,

803
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: bad knock for years was Philip Dorsett and Philip you know,

804
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: came as a first round pick in a trade, the

805
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette thing a couple of years ago. And you know,

806
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: when you're a first rounder and a team trade ye early,

807
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: people sort of think that you must have stunk it up.

808
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: You know, that's usually the bust idea, and that tends

809
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: to follow you, and I tend to He's got three

810
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns now. Some of the you know, three of the

811
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: big maybe top ten most explosive plays on the team

812
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: this year has just been breakaways by Philip out in

813
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: space and he just goes. I think there was a

814
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: stage here at one point where he caught twenty three

815
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: sunballs in a row, and there was a contested one

816
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: that they called an incompletion last week that he did catch.

817
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: But his dependability and explosiveness I think pairs pretty well

818
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: with Josh's and so Josh, yes, can be a vertical guy,

819
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: but I think Josh actually wins on a lot of

820
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: slants and in cuts and medium stuff as people sag

821
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: on him the beautiful part through of the offense. So

822
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: it is kind of dependent on jewels. If jewels is full,

823
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: go this weekend, and none of us really know that.

824
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the cover, just swing around

825
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: how he'll be handled, and Josh will sometimes get singled.

826
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: And then there are points of the game where ye

827
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: have people slide coverage to something going on with Josh

828
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: after a big catch or two. But I think it's

829
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: because defenses have to continue to do that shell game

830
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: because who knows. Then maybe it's now Jane James White

831
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: and Rex Burkhead and things have shifted again. But I

832
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: think it's just a lot of good players as opposed

833
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: to one real guy you got to worry about. Well,

834
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: the page has been so successful for so long. Everything

835
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 1: they do get scrutinized. Why did they sign Cody Kessler

836
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: a third quarterback? I thought last week, and I'd put

837
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: this out there here. Initially I was a big advocate

838
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: of keeping Brian Hoyer around. You know, I think that

839
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: at this stage a third quarterback is a super valuable

840
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: piece on the offense because the quarterbacks older. You know,

841
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: your main guy's older. It's not because Tom's gonna miss time.

842
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: I think it's knocking on wood here. You presume he'll

843
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: be available for the sixteen and he takes care of

844
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: his body so well. But yeah, you get nicks and scrapes.

845
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: And I think in the event that you want to

846
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: do rest periods with the quarterback, you know, you have

847
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: a Wednesday down or something like that, or he had

848
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: the calf thing that he was on he was on

849
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: the list for in the last couple of weeks, if

850
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: you're going to give him a down day, it's just

851
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: understanding what that does do a roster for a practice schedule.

852
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: It makes Jared stood him a rookie run all the

853
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: scout reps and all the first team reps and second

854
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: team reps. Quite frankly so, because they don't carry a

855
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: practice squad quarterback, there's not other way to sort of

856
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: logistically do that. And then last week, you know, Jared

857
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: gets his first professional snaps, makes a couple nice completions,

858
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: but then also does throw a pick six. So I

859
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: think the combination of the age of the starter, the

860
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: complexity of the offense. If you needed to plug someone in,

861
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: say even in the events that they were comfortable having

862
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: stoo him start, if something were to happen to Tom,

863
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: who backs him up. If you have a bad quarter

864
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: who backs him up. If it just doesn't working, you

865
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: really need to get someone up to speed in this

866
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: particular offense, So I'm an advocate of having the third there.

867
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: Brian was found an awesome situation another place there in Indy.

868
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: But if it's not Cody, I think it needed to

869
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: be someone, and you're going to be addressing just some

870
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: of those off field issues that you've got to deal with.

871

Speaker 1: about the Twitter poll? Or we're gonna talk about what

914
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: happened last night and Thursday night football? Well, I did

915
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: not watch thurs Day football, so I'm probably probably better.

916
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 1: I didn't I watched Patriots last night because I didn't

917
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: watch it either. Oh, let's talk talk about something didn't Yeah,

Speaker 1: let's watch let's talk about let's talk about the Twitter

919
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: poll that we got out today. Twitter poll, what would

920
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: it Bills victory over the Patriots? Look like we've gotten

921
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: more than seven hundred and sixty votes in so far,

922
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: and almost half of your forty seven percent of you

923
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: say a victory over the Patriots would be a close

924
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: game going down to the final drive. Thirty six percent

925
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: say it'll be a low scoring game with good defense,

926
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: ten percent it'll be a shootout and the Bills would

927
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: outscore the Pats, and seven percent say something else. Let's

928
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: talk about it. Eight h three five fifty toll free

929
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty Waiting

930
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: online patiently, Kevin and Hamburg. Hello, Kevin, go ahead, you're

931
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: on the air. How are you doing good? I think

932
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: there could be the final drive, But I want to

933
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: say emotionally, I remember September seven, nineteen eighty, when we

934
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: slayed the Dolphin dragon and go post came down. Yeah,

935
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: it was all it would be emotionally, like Dad, Why

936
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: would it rise to that level of emotion, do you think, Kevin?

937
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: Because well, and before then, the Dolmens usually pretty much

938
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: kicked our butts ninety percent of the time, well on

939
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: seventies one hundred percent time, and the Patriots pretty much

940
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: kicked our butte hundred percent of the time or so,

941
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: it'd be like that same feeling that I don't no doubt,

942
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: it's a similar feeling. I don't know that the gold

943
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: post will come down if they beat the Patriots on Sunday,

944
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: but yeah, and I at it. I think it's gonna

945
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: be a low scoring, good defensive battle. Um, if it

946
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: does come down to the final drive, Um, maybe that's

947
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: a maybe that's a Twitter poll, Murph, Well, do you

948
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: want us to have the ball in the final drive

949
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: to have to score to win it? Or do you

950
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 1: want our defense to have to stop them from scoring

951
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: to win it? Which you know, that's that's the question.

952
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: If it's a final drive, you want the ball or not?

953
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: You want the lead? You want the ball or the

954
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: lead lead. I think you always take the lead, right, Yeah,

955
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: I agree, But that's I think a lot of people, well,

956
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: as you said, you know, everybody think it's gonna be

957
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: a close game. It's gonna come down to the final drive.

958
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the first time, let's think about it,

959
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: Bills have had to play sixty minutes all three games,

960
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: mostly for weeks one and three, they really had to

961
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: play sixty minutes. The Patriots have had to play like

962
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: what eighteen minutes of football this year? Uh? And then

963
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: close to the finish. Uh, it's it's been out of

964
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: reach for them. It's it's gonna be you would think

965
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a close game. I think that would

966
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: might play into the favor of the Bills, particularly at

967
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: this early stretch of the season. Although the Patriots have

968
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: got so many veterans guys, they're they're used to tight

969
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: spots in close games, so I don't know that they'd

970
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: be that big of an advantage. But the Bills are

971
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of right there. That's their wheelhouse so far this season.

972
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: One more update from the Bills practice. Just wrapping up.

973
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: Maddie glab who covers the Bills for us. She was

974
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: on the show this couple of times this week. She says,

975
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: Seanmandermott says, uh, Devin Singletary got good work in today.

976
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: Don't have an official designation for him yet, but mean

977
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: Dermot said we will see in terms of whether Singletary

978
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: gets to play on Sunday against New England. He missed

979
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: last week's game call here from Pedro and Buffalo. Hello Pedro,

980
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey, how you doing, Murphy good? Hey, I

981
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: just want to go back to you know, I think

982
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: that Devin's Singletary it's gonna be one of our great

983
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: backs in Buffalo, but I just want everybody to know

984
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: he can't hold Thurman. Timmy's jockx Trap Dermot Thomas was

985
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: one of the greatest fact that we ever had, besides O. J.

986
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: Simpson and the only thing that came close determining what's

987
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: maybe what's the guy? Uh Mary Sanders, Right, I see

988
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders and maybe Shady as a close second. Um,

989
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: there's other good backs for the Bills. But I see

990
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: what you're saying. You're not getting get any argument from

991
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: us about Thurman and how good he was, and he's

992
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: All of Famer. You don't need to make that argument. Thanks, No, No,

993
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm looking at this injury report we just

994
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: got in Tyler Croft Corey Thompson. They were both declared

995
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,959
Speaker 1: out for Sunday. UM Maurice Alexander rested a sore knee.

996
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: He didn't practice today and we will see it with

997
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. It's probably a game time decision for Devon

998
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: And for the first time this year, the fellows at

1038
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:58,839

Speaker 1: and six thirty am at ESPN. We should make note,

1064
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: Greig that you don't have to get up that early

1065
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: to do that. That show was in the cam, right

1066
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: you did you did that today right just now? Yeah,

1067
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 1: this morning? Yeah, yeah, where I come on with you guys? Good, excellent,

1068
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: And you did a lot of work on the Bills

1069
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: Patriots matchup. First time the Bills have been involved. Tell

1070
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: us about what you saw and what you guys talked about. Yeah,

1071
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: first time, Yeah, the Bills this year. It's actually our

1072
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: our b block game, which is our monitor game, and

1073
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 1: so it's it was a big game for us. And

1074
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: actually Matt Bowen did a piece on the Bills offense

1075
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen and the feeling. Basically, the premise of

1076
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: his piece was that Josh will probably have to make

1077
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: some plays sort of outside of structure, second reaction plays

1078
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: in this game. As he can do that at this

1079
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: point in his career, he's probably not consistent enough to

1080
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: just pick that defense apart from the pocket, snap after snap,

1081
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: So they'll have to be some outside of structure second

1082
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: reaction plays for this offense to do what it needs

1083
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: to do to get a win. Yeah, it's all about

1084
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: this for us out here. We trust the Bills defense.

1085
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: It's the offense that's been a little bit of a

1086
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: roller coaster. How do they stack up? I guess the

1087
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: Patriots defense, Well, let's start with the Patriots defense to

1088
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: even kind of what they are. I think when you

1089
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: look at this defense sort of overtime and kind of

1090
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: the Belichick profile is I think what they do is

1091
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: they're very multiple with their defensive fronts. That's where their

1092
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: multiplicity comes in. They have a lot of different front alignments,

1093
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: they move people around along the fronts, they play different positions.

1094
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: That's sort of one of their foundations. The second part

1095
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: is the coverage. They're much more consistent and stable with

1096
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: their coverages. They tend to be very man based, so

1097
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: obviously they might do specific things for a specific opponent,

1098
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: if they feel a specific receiver is a problem. I

1099
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: don't know if they'll feel that way against the Bills,

1100
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: but for the most part, I would say that their

1101
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 1: profile is their front multiple and coverage consistent. Hey, good

1102
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: at it. Yeah. Coach mcdermot's been quoted this week talking

1103
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: about the Patriots defense, greg saying that they are a

1104
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: game plan defense. What do you think he means there?

1105
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: What does he have in mind? Well, I think what

1106
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: they do is they base much of their front approach

1107
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: anyway on the opponent. Now, they'll do that, as I said,

1108
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: with coverage as well. You know, for instance, in the

1109
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game last year, they double Tyreek Hill on

1110
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: every play and then they put a corner on Travis Kelsey.

1111
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: So that was specific to the Chiefs. So they'll decide

1112
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: how they want to approach a specific team and then

1113
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: they'll formulate something that speaks to that opponent. And it

1114
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: won't be maybe on every snap. It might be on

1115
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: third down, it might be in the red zone. You know,

1116
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: one thing Bill has always done is he might double team,

1117
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: based on his film study a particular receiver on third

1118
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: down in the red zone. He might go with one

1119
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: double team of receiver or two double teams of receivers.

1120
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: So he does specific things, but it's always based on

1121
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: the opponent. They don't just line up each week and

1122
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 1: do the same thing. You know, they're very opponent specific,

1123
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's what Shan meant. How good is

1124
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,879
Speaker 1: their secondary secondary, particularly Steph Gilmore playing at this point?

1125
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: Their secondary is really good and they play a ton

1126
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: of man coverage. It'd be interesting to see if Gilmore

1127
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: follows and travels with any of the Bills receivers. I

1128
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: don't know if they'll look at anyone particular and say, hey,

1129
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: that guy we have to shut down. I don't know

1130
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: if the Bill's offense is at that point yet, so

1131
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see. I mean maybe in

1132
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: certain situations, maybe it's John Brown, But I don't know

1133
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: if they'll look at one guy and say, hey, that's

1134
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: the guy we absolutely have to take out of the

1135
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: game or we can't beat the Bills. The Bills. Should

1136
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: the Bills be able to run against DONGLM? What do

1137
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: you think? Right? I guess we'll find out. So I

1138
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: don't like that answer. Yeah, I mean, I think they're

1139
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: gonna have to try to run. You know, I think

1140
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: Frank Gore's look really good, you know, given his age.

1141
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: Although I'd love to be Frank Or's age, Murph, you

1142
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: probably would be I would doom. Yeah. Um, you know,

1143
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 1: I think that Let's put it this way. You know,

1144
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: you hear a lot of people say sometimes it's not

1145
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: the amount of yards, it's the number of carries. That's

1146
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: all well and good, but you've got to gain yards. Um.

1147
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: You know, you want to be in the kind of

1148
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: game where you can stay with the run. That that

1149
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: that is the best way I think I would describe it.

1150
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: You don't want to get caught up in a game

1151
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: where you can't run the ball anymore because all of

1152
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 1: a sudden, early in the second quarter at seventeen nothing.

1153
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: So you want to be in the in the kind

1154
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: of game where the run game remains a significant part

1155
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: of your of your game plan approach. Well, Well, these

1156
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 1: two defenses, perhaps it will be a close game throughout.

1157
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: Certainly nobody's been able to kind of cause Brady and

1158
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: his offense to stumble. What are their offensive the Patriots?

1159
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: What are they doing so well that that allows him

1160
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: to jump out to these early leads? Uh? They score

1161
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: a lot steam Yeah, even I know that. That's my brilliant,

1162
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: profound answer on that one. Um. You know, I think

1163
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 1: they're one of those teams that is you know, I

1164
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: always try to when I watch tape of good offenses,

1165
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: I always try to think, why are they so good?

1166
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: And you know, because sometimes these good offenses make it

1167
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: look like it's easy and it's not easy, and I

1168
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 1: just think they're they're so good with what the little details,

1169
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: the little nuances. You know, everybody runs play action, okay,

1170
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: but when when good teams run play action, the details

1171
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: and the nuances of executing those kinds of things are

1172
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: so good. It's why when a team like the Patriots

1173
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: run their staple play action concepts, they get the linebackers

1174
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: to react the way they want them to react, because

1175
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: everything about what they do, starting with the old line

1176
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: and their steps and their helmets and all the little

1177
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: details that make that work are executed perfectly because they're

1178
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: not doing anything that no one's ever seen before, you know.

1179
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: And then they have someone like Edelman, who's really really

1180
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: good in the slot and who can win against anybody

1181
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: if you want to play man. Now, the bills are

1182
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: not a high percentage man team, but in some critical

1183
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: situations they'll play some man, and my guess is it'll

1184
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: be Kevin Johnson. Now, the other thing that they did

1185
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: is we've seen what the Bills have been doing the

1186
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. They've really been mixing and matching

1187
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: personnel a lot. They play with Neil a sort of

1188
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: a big nickel with three safeties against three wide receivers

1189
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: when it's kind of normal down in distance. If the

1190
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: opponent lines up with two tight ends, they bring Marlow

1191
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: in and they play another form of big nickel with

1192
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: three safeties. So they've been using a lot of different

1193
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: personnel packages, and we'll see if they do the same

1194
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing this week against the Patriots. Well, one

1195
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: of the things I got to ask you about this offense.

1196
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: Obviously Tom Brady's still there. Run is kind of the

1197
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: head of the snake. But besides him, who thrives in

1198
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: this offense for the Patriots, Besides Brady Edelman, I think

1199
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: he's critical to what they do. Gordon, you know, now

1200
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: that he's been on the field, I think is a

1201
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: real weapon on the perimeter. His size, his movement, his

1202
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: ability to make contested catches. I'm very anxious to see

1203
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: if the Bills take White and make him the matchup

1204
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: corner on Gordon. There are games they do that with White.

1205
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: We'll see if that happens. I think it probably will

1206
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: because I'll think that I think they'll see Gordon as

1207
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: the guy on the perimeter that they have to stop.

1208
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: Greg Kosell, our guest senior producer NFL Films, host of

1209
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: NFL Matchup on ESPN. Amateurs like me, Greg, A matchup

1210
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: that I would think would benefit the Bills as Buffalo's

1211
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: defensive front against you know, kind of a patchwork offensive

1212
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: line for New England. Right, they're missing their starting center

1213
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: at the start of the season. The left tackle New

1214
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: Ounce was in and out this week. Shouldn't the Bills

1215
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: have an advantage there? Well, But the Patriots are really

1216
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: really good at at camouflaging that and compensating for it

1217
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: by the nature of their offense. And you can do

1218
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: that good offense, can you know I can camouflage that now?

1219
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: Obviously you want to win the situations when it's long yardage,

1220
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: but it's in normal down in distant situations that the

1221
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: Patriots are very good at that. Now they've not run

1222
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,439
Speaker 1: the ball really well in fact Sony Michelle has not run.

1223
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he's not run. Well, they

1224
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: production hasn't been there. So maybe that's an area that's

1225
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: critical that the Bills have to force as best as

1226
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: they can the Patriots to be in longer yardage situations

1227
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: and then have Sean and Leslie Frasier with some defensive

1228
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: tweaks here and there, you know, create some some some situations. Look,

1229
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: Brady doesn't normally throw a lot of picks, but you

1230
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: at least get them off the field. Great, let's switch.

1231
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: You're good with will see. Let's move on to the

1232
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: rest of the NFL. And and I know Thursday night

1233
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: games are tough for you because you're working on your show.

1234
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: But that was a notable game last night, wasn't it.

1235
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: In the Packers failure to convert on a goal line

1236
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: sequence with four straight passes. I don't know what. Did

1237
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: you draw any conclusions about green Bay, either offensively or

1238
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 1: defensively from last night's game? Well, one conclusion that to

1239
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: draw for green Bay is is Mike Petton really likes

1240
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: to play. He's their decoordinator. You guys know, Mike, he

1241
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: really likes to play with sub Nickel and subdime personnel.

1242
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: And they got burned last night with playing that way

1243
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: in the run game, and that really stood out because

1244
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles ended up with about one hundred and seventy

1245
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: five yards rushing on over thirty carries. And the Eagles

1246
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: had not run the ball well up till last night

1247
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,479
Speaker 1: at all, and much of that came. And I haven't

1248
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: finished the tape. I've been through the first half, so

1249
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak out of turn here because

1250
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what Mike did in the second half.

1251
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: But in the first half, the Packers did not play

1252
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: one snap of bass defense. Every snap was either nickel

1253
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: or dime, so and that's something Mike Petton really likes

1254
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: to do. And maybe assuming the second half is somewhat similar,

1255
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, that got exposed a little bit. One of

1256
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the surprising things that came out of last night. I

1257
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,479
Speaker 1: just read this report that Aaron Rodgers is the first

1258
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: quarterback in forty years to have four in completions from

1259
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: the one yard line in any quarter, let alone any drive.

1260
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: He's the first quarterback in forty years plus to have

1261
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: an incomplete on four straight tries from the one yard line.

1262
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers couldn't complete a pass to anybody. That to

1263
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: me is the micro story of that entire game last night. Well,

1264
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure that mental floor is gonna answer

1265
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: a lot of questions if he hasn't already getting to

1266
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: the one yard line. Steven not running the ball one time,

1267
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: And that's a philosophy. You know, I'm not one who

1268
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: who second guess as coaches, but you know, I'm sure

1269
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: that there'll be a lot of people who believe that

1270
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: you get to the one yard line that at least

1271
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: one of those plays has to be a running play.

1272
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: So you know, we'll see. But they did not run

1273
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,959
Speaker 1: at one time. They threw the ball on all four plays. Great,

1274
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 1: another game. I want to ask you about Washington at

1275
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: the Giants. How are the Giants gonna handle this without

1276
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: sequon for a while? What four to eight weeks? And

1277
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: are they going to start to lean on the rookie

1278
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: quarterback Daniel Jones? You see that? Well, I still think

1279
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: they have to try to run the ball. I don't

1280
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 1: think they're going to ask him to drop back forty

1281
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: five times by design. But Jones looked good, And you know,

1282
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: it's funny. We're in an era now and you guys

1283
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen obviously, and Josh is really good at

1284
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: getting outside the pocket outside of structure, making plays on

1285
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the move. But one of the things that stood out

1286
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: to me watching Daniel Jones this week, and I actually

1287
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: did this in the Matchup show as well, is what

1288
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: we call pocket movement, so where he moved around within

1289
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: the pocket, so he slid, He didn't run out of

1290
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: the pocket, he felt pressure, slid away from it, kept

1291
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: his focus down field and made big time throws. And

1292
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: I think that that's becoming a little bit of an

1293
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: overlooked trait as quarterbacks from college who can really run

1294
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: come out into the NFL. But I think that's an

1295
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: essential trait for a quarterback. Certainly, he had a nice

1296
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: first outing. We'll see how it fares in the weeks

1297
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: to come with. There's another guy who also had his

1298
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: first outing, Gardner Minshew, for Jacksonville. He's going to go

1299
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: against the Broncos this week. That's a little bit of

1300
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: a it's a little different heat, he may, continues Gardner Minshew.

1301
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: The Broncos, for all that there's said about their defense,

1302
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: have not played that well defensively, particularly rushing Opposing quarterbacks

1303
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: have had zero sacks coming into this week, Gardner Minshew

1304
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: could continue his good streak against a team like the Broncos.

1305
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: As crazy as that sounds, Yeah, it's very surprising with

1306
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: a VIC fan Joe defense. Maybe it's just going to

1307
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: take a little time because I think he's one of

1308
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: the best in the league, if not the best, defensively.

1309
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: Bub with Chubb and Miller, you're very surprised, Steve as

1310
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: you just said that they have no sacks. I think

1311
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: that'll start to come. Although when you look at their

1312
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: overall defense, I mean, I think they've got some some

1313
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: weaknesses through their defense. You know, everybody just focuses on

1314
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Chub and Miller, who are two great players, but they've

1315
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: got no sacks and I don't believe they have any

1316
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: turnovers either through three games, and I think they're playing

1317
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: offense expecting their defense to be really good. Here's another

1318
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: interesting game with a young quarterback Kyle Allend Carolina going

1319
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: to Houston. I would think the Panthers got to be

1320
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised what they got from Kyle Allen or maybe

1321
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: hopful about the future from him. Huh Yeah, I mean, look,

1322
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys. I don't. I don't annoint

1323
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: and I don't crown people, but I can tell you

1324
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: what the tape showed, And the tape showed a quarterback

1325
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: that was very decisive, knew where to go with the football,

1326
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: He had precise ball placement. He was able to take

1327
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: advantage of some matchups with Greg Olsen. He looked very,

1328
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: very comfortable and poised in the pocket. One of the question.

1329
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: I got another question for you about another young quarterback,

1330
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He has really shifted gears this offseason, and

1331
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens are scoring points a ton. Are they

1332
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: going to be able to pile up points against the

1333
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Well, we'll see. I mean, look, Lamar did

1334
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: not throw the ball well this week at all, after

1335
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: two weeks of throwing the ball well, So we'll see

1336
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: how that plays out. You know, I don't think that

1337
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 1: by I don't think he's a great natural thrower, which

1338
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he can't make throws. He's an NFL starting quarterback.

1339
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: He can make throws. But this week he missed an

1340
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: awful lot of throws in a game in which he

1341
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: had to make them. So I think that the sample

1342
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: size is not large enough for him as an NFL

1343
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: quarterback to make a determination as to what he is

1344
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: as a passer. I think we need more time and

1345
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: more throws. Greg. The Chargers got their running back back,

1346
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, and Anthony Lynn says when he's ready, he'll

1347
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: be the number one. How much of a difference does

1348
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: that make for the Los Angeles Chargers this week and

1349
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: into the future. I mean, this week, it's only the Dolphins, right, right, boy,

1350
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: that's only the Dolphin's unbarth. Wow. Yeah, I love that.

1351
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: It's a new Bill world. Yeah wow. You know, look,

1352
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon's a good back. I don't think that they're

1353
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: running back tandem of Jackson and kel Or is the

1354
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: reason they're one and two. You know, I'm not saying

1355
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: Gordon's not a good player. And when he's ready, I'm

1356
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: sure he'll play because he's a good player. So we'll see,

1357
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, how they decide to map that out. I'm

1358
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: sure after a week or two he'll go back to

1359
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: being their number one back. One of the other matchups

1360
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: that's going to be really interesting is the New Orleans

1361
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: Saints at the Dallas Cowboys. This is going to be

1362
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: a really nice game, but there's only really there's nothing

1363
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: missing except Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater against the Dallas defense.

1364
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: How do you see this one playing out? Well? I

1365
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: thought last week they were very fortunate that the Saints

1366
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: the way the game played out is they could pretty

1367
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: much limit what Bridgewater had to do in that game.

1368
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: And I think that played out perfectly because he needs,

1369
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, Bridgewater to me as a guy that needs

1370
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: to start playing a lot of football, I think that

1371
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: he get hopefully he keeps getting better. He's not a

1372
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: high level passer as a you know, as a talent,

1373
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: so you know, he's very much a function of a

1374
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 1: complete offense. It'll be interesting to see if Michael Thomas

1375
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: is still the same factor in their past game with

1376
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: Bridgewater obviously the player that has to be stopped as

1377
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. And you know, these two teams played last year,

1378
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: by the way, and and the Cowboys did something really

1379
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: interesting on third down. They put a they went dime

1380
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: six defensive backs and they matched a corner Jordan Lewis

1381
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: on Alvin Kamara and Kamara only he had eight matches

1382
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: in the game, but only for thirty six yards. Hey,

1383
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: back to the Bills as we wrap things up with you, Greg,

1384
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: and I'm going to assume that you don't think this

1385
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 1: is an absolute lock win for New England. So if

1386
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: the Bills were to come out of Sunday's game of

1387
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: the victory, what would that path to victory for Buffalo

1388
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: look like? Yeah, I thought it was going to be

1389
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: an absolute lock win for the Bills. I know you

1390
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: are no. It took it took the Bills four weeks

1391
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 1: to make your show come on. Good response. Well, first

1392
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: of all, I don't think the Bills can win a

1393
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: high scoring game. I don't think the game can play

1394
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: out that way. So it's going to have to start

1395
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: with two things. To me, in this game, the Bills

1396
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: defense is going to have to keep the Patriots particularly

1397
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: early in the game. This game has to get to

1398
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: the third quarter close and probably in the teams and

1399
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: so it's the Bills defense. So that will come down

1400
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: to third downs. In particular on offense, I think that

1401
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: they're going to have to be able to the game

1402
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: has to play out to where the run game can

1403
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: be a factor and where the run game can be sustaining. Look,

1404
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Gore is not going to break off forty yard runs,

1405
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: but the run game has to be sustaining. I heard

1406
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: what you said about Singletary, and it's kind of a

1407
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: wait and see if he can play. He gives them

1408
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: a little juice, maybe he can create some explosion as

1409
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: a runner. But for the most part, you don't get big,

1410
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: big plays against the Patriots. And the second part, which

1411
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: we detailed in the Matchup show, is I think Josh

1412
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: Allen has to make positive second reaction plays, not negative

1413
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 1: second reaction plays. He can't do what he did in

1414
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: the third quarter last week when he threw that up

1415
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: for grabs against the Bengals. That can't happen. I like

1416
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: everything you said. I agree, Steve. You're good, sounds great. Greg.

1417
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on. It's good seeing you again. Great

1418
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: to see you guys. Thanks a lot. Thanks you great

1419
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: great Gosal Senior producer at NFL Films, host of NFL

1420
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Matchup on the ESPN Executive producer and host. You can

1421
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: catch that show with the bill's feature prominently. As Greg said,

1422
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: tomorrow six fifty five am at ESPN two Sunday four

1423
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: am and six thirty am on ESPN. That's when your

1424
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,560
Speaker 1: DBR goes to work. Steve, I'm gonna roll tape on

1425
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: four am, Are you kidding? You bet? But it'll be

1426
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: worth watching the way they break it down. Yeah, it's great.

1427
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: And Matt Bowen, right, I mean, they do a great job.

1428
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 1: And Matt Bowen, a former Buffalo Bill, is a guy

1429
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,679
Speaker 1: who does the breakdown for that game. And I think

1430
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: we've been talking about it all week, and I think

1431
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: Greg's right. I mean, this looks like two defensive teams

1432
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 1: playing each other, which means you're gonna be maybe in

1433
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: the teams deep into the second half, and then you

1434
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,639
Speaker 1: gotta keep your running game involved. The team that makes

1435
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: the fewest mistakes, he's gonna probably gonna have the lead

1436
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: late in this game. And Josh Allen, what he's good

1437
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: at is off the page stuff. He's got to make

1438
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: it count for the Bills, not for the Patriots. We

1439
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: need the good off the page stuff, that's right. Yeah,

1440
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: not the crazy, the not the deep late over the

1441
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: middle to the other team's team meeting, I was thinking

1442
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: the same thing. All right, We're gonna hear what Sean

1443
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: McDermott said to the media after practice today. That's coming

01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: up next. Come on back for that one goes Live

01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 1: been up for a couple of hours and we think

01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: it's a good one seven hundred sixty seven votes in

1457
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: so far Sunday. What would a Bill's victory over the

1458
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: Patriots look like? What do you think? On Twitter? On

1459
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 1: the poll, forty seven percent of you say it would

1460
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: be a close game coming down to the final drive.

1461
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Thirty six percent of you say it'll be a low

1462
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: scoring game with good defense. That's where I'm at. Ten

1463
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: percent say it'll be a shootout in the Bills will

1464
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: outscore New England. Seven percent of something else in mind.

Speaker 1: Let's hear from you. Eight O three five fifty toll

1469
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 1: sheet in a moment here to talk about some of

1470
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: those responses. But not yet, not yet, because right now

1471
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: we have Sean McDermott. So he meets with the media

1472
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: briefly after practice today. The injury update Devin Singletary, McDermot

1473
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,879
Speaker 1: said he got in good work today with his hamstring.

1474
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: He was limited today though, and we will see, McDermot

1475
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: said when he was asked if Singletary will play on Sunday.

1476
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: That's the big one, right. Tyler Croft is declared out

1477
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: with his foot and ankle injury. Linebacker Corey Thompson his

1478
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: out ankle surgery on Monday. Both declared out. Linebacker Maurice

1479
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: Alexander rested today Soreny did not practice and McDermott talked

1480
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 1: about other issues today as well. He was asked today

1481
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: after practice about his routine and how much he varied

1482
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 1: his team's routine this week with the big game against

1483
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots. He says, not that much. Here he is

1484
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: John McDermott. We believe in what we do. You know,

1485
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: and you guys asked a questions someone asked a question,

1486
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: I think earlier in the week about what does it

1487
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, what does it mean? It means that just

1488
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 1: in terms of we're doing things right. You know, we

1489
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,799
Speaker 1: believe we're doing things right in terms of our routines

1490
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: and the players. I think the players like consistency and

1491
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: they like routines, and that's important that they're in the

1492
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: right routines though too. That's part of I know it's

1493
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: not exactly your question, but it's also part of bringing

1494
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: our young guys along coming from college to the pro game,

1495
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: of what's your routine, what's it look like Monday, what's

1496
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: it look like Wednesday, Thursday? Fight? You know, so on

1497
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: so forth, that we that our development team that we're

1498
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: developing those players with there with proper routines as well.

1499
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 1: How much Yeah, he didn't say about he actually said

1500
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: he appreciated that. Yeah, I was messing aroun how much

1501
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: have you tweaked those routines? Obviously probably not during the season,

1502
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 1: but maybe in the offseason go back and look the

1503
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 1: kind of study and and that's big. I mean, yeah,

1504
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 1: that's a great question, Matt. It's it's ongoing evaluation of

1505
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 1: what we do. Ongoing evaluation for me of learn and

1506
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: continue to learn as a as a leader and a

1507
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: motivator and as a team as well as a staff.

1508
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 1: You know, just making sure we're we're saying the right things,

1509
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: we're doing the right things, going about things the right

1510
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: way with steam. That's the growth mindset to the tea.

1511
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's that's a that's a long answer, I know,

1512
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: but that's it, from top to bottom and left to right.

1513
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Right there Sean mcdermmer talking to the media just about

1514
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: half hour forty five minutes ago. I like what he's saying,

1515
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Steve in this respect. Um, it's a big game. We

1516
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: all know that. We've talked about it all week, some

1517
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: of us you were talking about it last week. But

1518
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: it's the thing. Here's the thing. You have got, the

1519
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 1: state of your routine. You've got and because I said,

1520
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: i'veset all week twelve games left after this one, no

1521
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 1: matter what happened Sunday, I hope they win. I hope

1522
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,640
Speaker 1: they go all out and win Sunday, but win or

1523
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: lose seventy five percent of the season of waits. You've

1524
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: got to have a routine that you go back to

1525
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: win or lose, and you got to stick to that

1526
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: routine this week, right, if you Shun's into Sean's perfect

1527
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: for there. If you're in into this and you say, well,

1528
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: now we've really got to prepare, prepare extra hard, Well,

1529
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: there is no extra you know, you can't if you're not.

1530
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,719
Speaker 1: If you're leaving pre preparation on the table the week before,

1531
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: why wasn't that game important? You know, you've got to

1532
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: have a routine that gets you completely prepared to play

1533
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 1: and win. And you go to that routine and you

1534
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 1: continue to try and get better, and like he said,

1535
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: it's an ongoing process. You you evaluate your routine, you

1536
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 1: make sure you're doing things right to make sure you

1537
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: don't leave anything on the table so there's nothing left

1538
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: undone in your run up to this game, so that

1539
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: when the game happens, you're at your best. Now if

1540
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:37,760
Speaker 1: you come out of that game and you can look

1541
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: back and say, well, we left this on the table

1542
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: or didn't do this, and then you change it and

1543
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 1: do that. But there's no extra special preparation you do

1544
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,680
Speaker 1: because every week is equally important. Like we've been you know,

1545
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: like we've been saying, we had that Twitter poll about

1546
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, does this game, does this game wigh more

1547
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: than the others. Yeah, it doesn't define the season. Well, now,

1548
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: it's just one of sixteen. All of them are important equally.

1549
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:00,640
Speaker 1: You've got to play and prepare the same way. So

1550
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,640
Speaker 1: that's the mindset they have. You've got to trust what

1551
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: you do. You trust why you do it. You see

1552
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: behind just going through the motions, You see the reason

1553
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: and the why, the why you're doing it, and you

1554
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 1: focus on that and when you do that, you kind

1555
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: of get to the place where you're doing it the

1556
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: exact best way possible to make you completely ready. And

1557
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: that's why, you know, that's why in these NFL games,

1558
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: you know, you you get your starters like that. Everybody says,

1559
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,679
Speaker 1: why don't you get your you know, give your backup

1560
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and reps and stuff. Listen, you're trying to get

1561
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: your starters ready to play, not your starter and your

1562
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: backup both half ready to play. You know, you want

1563
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: to get this guy ready to play so he can win,

1564
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: because that's what it takes to win in this league.

1565
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: So it's all about this game. Everything's about this game.

1566
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: And then not just because it's the Patriots, but because

1567
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: it's the only game you've got. You know, that's that's

1568
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,719
Speaker 1: the mindset. Hey, um, I like our Twitter poll today.

1569
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: I liked where the responsors are going. What would have

1570
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 1: Bill's victory over the Patriots look like? I really like

1571
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 1: what Greg co sal said about that because I guess

1572
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: I agree with him. You know, it'll be a low

1573
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: scoring game. I believe that it'll be a game where

1574
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen kind of has to make some plays but

1575
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 1: doesn't go, you know, off off off the air making plays.

1576
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 1: I think that's what it would look like, and that's

1577
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: what we're getting that kind of response from folks on

1578
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. We can hear from you on the

1579
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: phone lines lines open now eight h three oh five

1580
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: fifty toll free from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight

1581
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty, or we can read some

1582
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 1: of the tweets from the tweet sheet brought to you

1583
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

1584
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: What do you got there on your tweet sheet? There?

1585
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: Steve Well from Jeremiah, he says for the Bills to win,

1586
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,799
Speaker 1: they've got to come out attacking and continue to attack

1587
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 1: for sixty minutes. Even if you're winning seven hundred to nothing.

1588
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: You got to play sixty minutes from Bill. He says,

1589
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,680
Speaker 1: the Patch you're gonna need to turn the ball over

1590
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: two more times than us, so we don't have and

1591
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,679
Speaker 1: we can't have any That's just my opinion. He says,

1592
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 1: they don't have to, but certainly if they do, you're

1593
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna win that game. Yeah, you can get

1594
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 1: the Pats to turn it over two more times than yourself. Yeah,

1595
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: they they're not gonna win very many of those. Also

1596
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: from Team any twenty two. It's gonna be tough. But

1597
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 1: if they're gonna win, they have to win the line

1598
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and win

1599
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: the turnover battle. If they do that, I think they

1600
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: could win. Yes, people are kind of echoing that turnover things.

1601
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: That's when you do the unexpected thing against the Patriots

1602
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 1: that they you don't expect to see them turn the

1603
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 1: football over. It doesn't happen all that much, and when

1604
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 1: they do it, I think that's the one thing. It's

1605
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,600
Speaker 1: a little bit like putting Tom Brady under pressure and

1606
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,639
Speaker 1: getting in before the ball is out. It doesn't happen

1607
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: all that often. When it does, I think that's the

1608
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: one thing that really catches the Patriots off guard. When

1609
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, when you catch them in mistakes, sometimes those

1610
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 1: things can spiral out of control and you start to

1611
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: get a cluster of those things. On Twitter from Andrew,

1612
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: he says, we need to respond when the Patriots score.

1613
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 1: We can't go three and out. Need to be aggressive

1614
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: but also smart. Alan cannot afford any turnovers. This game

1615
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 1: tests our defense and our offense, mental and physical toughness.

1616
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Let's go out and get this wind buffalo. They can

1617
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: go three and out, and I would venture a guest

1618
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: that they will go three and out probably more than once.

1619
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 1: You know what the Patriot the Bills might force the

1620
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: Patriot's offense to go three and out. Two there, not one,

1621
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean two great defenses here. Patriot's numbers are stunning

1622
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 1: what they've done defensively. And I asked that of a

1623
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: great Cosell, and the first words out of his mouth

1624
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 1: is caliber of competition, who they beat and who they played? Right,

1625
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: You've talked about at the quarterback, sir face. Now, look,

1626
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: they're good defensively, and they're multiple and varied, and they

1627
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: disguise looks, and they have guys that can line up

1628
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: anywhere play to play and second year quarterback Josh Allen

1629
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 1: and his fifteenth NFL start, will be challenged to identify, Okay,

1630
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: where's Jamie Collins this down? You know, where's Simon? What's

1631
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: his name, John Simon, number fifty five? Where's he this

1632
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: down here? That'll be much of the game for him

1633
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: for Josh's to identify who's lined up where here? We

1634
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of all know where we stand the Patriot These

1635
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: two teams are the biggest test the other has faced

1636
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,599
Speaker 1: at this point of the season. The Bills are by

1637
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: far the most difficult opponent that the Patriots have faced,

1638
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: and vice versa. Here's the question for Bills fans. We've

1639
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:12,560
Speaker 1: seen the Patriots pass these tests before they rise to

1640
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: the occasion and they get into a tough third down

1641
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 1: in a tight game, they seem to kind of convert those.

1642
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: For the Bills, we haven't seen enough of that yet.

1643
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 1: This is still a new offense. They're still kind of

1644
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: getting to know each other. We're still trying to get

1645
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: to know what they look like. And Devin Singletary hasn't

1646
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 1: been out there for all three games. How's he going

1647
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: to fit into this? There's some things we don't know

1648
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 1: about this offense, but we do know this. This is

1649
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,639
Speaker 1: as good a Bills team and as good as start

1650
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: as they've had in quite a while. And this is

1651
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: a good group of guys who You've got a quarterback

1652
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 1: now that's got something under the hood that when the

1653
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: chips come down, he's shown kind of a propensity to

1654
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: rise up to that who wins. That's what's it gonna

1655
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:51,640
Speaker 1: look like. And that's that's a real It's gonna be

1656
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: a really good football game, I think. I gat. I'm

1657
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 1: glad Great Cosell mentioned the potential matchup and the fact

1658
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: that the Patriots might put Stephan Gilmo on John Brown.

1659
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: I mean, not that that's a good matchup for the Bills.

1660
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:08,719
Speaker 1: It might make John Brown a little less effective. Gilmore

1661
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: is really good. But that got me thinking about, Okay,

1662
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: then somebody else has to make a play, right, whoever

1663
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 1: it is. Zay Jones due for a play, right, Robert

1664
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,719
Speaker 1: Foster is way due for a play. Bezie's a different

1665
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: sort of wide receiver. Isaia McKenzie. I just checked it.

1666
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: We don't have today's injury report yet. McKenzie did not

1667
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: practice yesterday with his ank with an ankle injury, but

1668
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: we're told he did practice any I don't know if

1669
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the injury report, I haven't seen it.

1670
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 1: But if in fact they put Stephan Gilmore on John

1671
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: Brown to an in effect try to shut him down,

1672
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: somebody else is gonna have to step up. McKenzie, Zay Jones,

1673
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: Beasley to a lesser extent because he'll have his role

1674
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,880
Speaker 1: to play, and even Robert Foster, I believe Steve Yeah.

1675
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: I think if if the Bills were to look like

1676
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots usually do, would probably be a guy like

1677
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: Zay Jones getting twelve targets, you know, with nine catches

1678
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: for one hundred and thirty five yards, and you know,

1679
01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of the guy come out of nowhere that

1680
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots really weren't thinking about as being a factor

1681
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: in the offense. All of a sudden he does it.

1682
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:06,600
Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of the way the Patriots have

1683
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 1: always operated, where they come in and they you know,

1684
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 1: you say, we're gonna beat your left handed. Well, for

1685
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: the Bills, it might be this year, with as few

1686
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: of targets as he's gotten, Zay Jones might be that

1687
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: left hand And if the Bills are able to beat

1688
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: him left handed, it's because Zay Jones. Is it he

1689
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: turns into a guy that's gets the most targets, gets

1690
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: the most catches, gets the most yards, and gets a

1691
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: touchdown or two. That's that kind of way. This game

1692
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: has a feel for me. I don't know what Brian

1693
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: Daybole has up his sleeve. I have no clue and

1694
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 1: vice versa. I don't know what the other Patriots get.

1695
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 1: And I said yesterday, it still intrigues me what the

1696
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: Patriots see and this team. Yeah, offensively, what are they

1697
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: going to do to this team offensively and defensively as well?

1698
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 1: But I want to see what their game plan is

1699
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: and I want to see what the Bills game plan

1700
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: is against that defense they planned. Gilmore on John Brown,

1701
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 1: would you do that? I don't know if I will.

1702
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes they will, no question they as he said, Greg

1703
01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: go Sell said, they play a lot of man. That's

1704
01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: their thing. They've some guys that can do it. And

1705
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 1: we heard Matt Chatham, the former Patriots linebacker earlier in

1706
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: the show. He says, man, they got a deep, very

1707
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: deep secondary. They can go deep in a man to

1708
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: man stuff. So they feel like they're gonna win those matchups.

1709
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: So they may do that. They may do that yeah,

1710
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 1: and force the Bills to go to Cole Beasley and

1711
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 1: Zay Jones. We'll take more calls as the show moves along.

1712
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: We got Lorenzo Alexander coming up at two. The Gronkowski

1713
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 1: brothers including Rob schedule to join us at two thirty.

1714
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: Question on the table, what would have Bill's victory over

1715
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: New England looked like? What would it look like to

1716
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: your eyes? Hey? Want to change gears a little bit.

1717
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 1: This just came out the NFL's one hundredth anniversary, right,

1718
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: and the league is celebrating the greatest moments in NFL history.

1719
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: So the Bills recently called upon their fans to identify

1720
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's top team moment. There were four iconic

1721
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: names games rather to choose from the nineteen sixty five

1722
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: AFL Championship, the twenty three to nothing shut out in

1723
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: San Diego, the nineteen ninety AFC Championship, the fifteen one

1724
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 1: to three win over the Raiders, the nineteen ninety three

1725
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:00,040
Speaker 1: comeback game, what was at forty one thirty eight I

1726
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: believe over the Houston Texans overtime, and the two seventeen

1727
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 1: season finale at Miami that put the Bills in the playoffs,

1728
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: even though the other half of that story took place

1729
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,640
Speaker 1: somewhere else. So Bills answered. Bills fans answered the call.

1730
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 1: The verdict is in. They voted for the Bill's iconic game,

1731
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 1: the all time Buffalo Bills game, and it probably is

1732
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: no surprise the Comeback Game got fifty four percent of

1733
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: the votes. It's the winning choice. The wild card matchup

1734
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Oilers forty one thirty eight

1735
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 1: in overtime at home, Frank Wright, backup quarterback, orchestrates the

1736
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: victory Bills down by thirty two points and come back

1737
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: to beat the Oilers Steve Christie with a thirty two

1738
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 1: yard game winning field goal. The Bills, of course, and

1739
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of good victories to choose from, but that's

1740
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,759
Speaker 1: what fans voted for. The comeback game as the greatest

1741
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: moment enfranchise history and the Bills celebrating six decades of

1742
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: outstanding players, coaches and passionate fans. This is Fantennial Weekend,

1743
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: and that's part of the celebration, identifying the top moment

1744
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 1: in team history. So later this year, the Bill's Comeback

1745
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: Game and selections from all of the other teams around

1746
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: the league. Thirty one teams will go in a bracket

1747
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 1: to determine the all time greatest moment in the NFL's

1748
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: one hundred year history. A fan vote that's gonna get. Look,

1749
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: I know that's a buffalo choice, but around the league,

1750
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:14,679
Speaker 1: people I think acknowledged that game is pretty special. Steve Right, Yeah,

1751
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: regardless of you, there's still a large that there's still

1752
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: a large segment of the population here that was around

1753
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: watching that game. They were part of that group. That

1754
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 1: was a game that was on the way to the

1755
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 1: third Super Bowl for the team out of the four

1756
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,759
Speaker 1: that they went to in a row. It was a winner,

1757
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, winner go home scenario. And I remember too

1758
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: that the team struggled to get into the playoffs. They

1759
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, and they the game wasn't sold out in

1760
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 1: time to lift the blackouts so any nobody could watch it.

1761
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 1: And back then we didn't have you know, the red

1762
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: zone channel and all of that. You couldn't watch it

1763
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: any other way other than to be there and so

1764
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: many people. And the joke goes amongst all our guys

1765
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: on our team. Marv even makes the joke sometimes, you know,

1766
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 1: we've met one point two million or the seven three

1767
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 1: thousand people that were there. Let's say they were the

1768
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: guy that didn't leave, right, there's a ton of people

1769
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 1: that wanted to go home for that. It was a

1770
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 1: cold winner's day, and it was it was the run

1771
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 1: was going to be over, two Super Bowls and done.

1772
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 1: Then the second half started to take shape late and

1773
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 1: people started to flock back into the stadium and mister

1774
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Wilson said, you know, they wouldn't let you don't have

1775
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 1: re entry tickets in the NFL. And mister Wilson said

1776
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: that cool. Just opened the gates and let everybody back in.

1777
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 1: And they did finally, and when the when the game

1778
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: was over, it was full again. Yeah, one point two

1779
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: million people in. Yeah, one point two million people. So

1780
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: that's the Bills fans pick for the top moment in

1781
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: franchise history. And it's a good one, the comeback game.

1782
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: There are other worthy contenders. When we were in New

1783
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:42,960
Speaker 1: York a couple of weeks ago for the Bills Giants game,

1784
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:46,600
Speaker 1: they were celebrating the similar, similar situation for their fantannial

1785
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 1: and I believe I'm not mistaken at halftime to announce

1786
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: that the Alan Amici run the greatest game ever played,

1787
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,719
Speaker 1: was the top moment in Giant's history. No, wait a minute,

1788
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: we had that, right, No, the Colts won that game.

1789
01:25:57,840 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: They can't have that. That was one of the great moments.

1790
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah that I think it was one of their Super Bowls.

1791
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: So that was one that was more dominees. That was there.

1792
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 1: One of their NFL championships. Yeah, in the day before

1793
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,600
Speaker 1: the merger. Yeah, yeah, that was the first. It was

1794
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: the first championship that was actually on television, and it

1795
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: was an overtime game, and it is a great dramatic game.

1796
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: Is a great for the great moment for the league. Yeah,

1797
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: but the Colts won it. Yeah, yeah, it was one

1798
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 1: of their candidates at any rate. Gratulations on that. Bills fans,

1799
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: you got a good one that you chose the comeback game,

1800
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 1: all right, we got a lot more to come. Oh

1801
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 1: I know what it was. Jeff Manthrews just said the

1802
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: Tyree catch super Bowl helmet catch. That was their greatest moment. Yeah,

1803
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 1: pretty good. That was a good one too, super Bowl win,

1804

Speaker 1: up in about fifteen minutes. So stick around One Goes

1810
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 1: Live presented by Collaida Health, coming to you from the

1811
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 1: Seneca studio at One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

1812
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 1: Even I just recounting the Patriots off season, an eventabole

1813
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 1: off season. How did they get the three? And ol?

1814
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 1: And and I don't We'll see you know what? This

1815
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:20,760
Speaker 1: is what started it? And we always say we have

1816
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: more fun during the breaks. I said, I got it

1817
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: in the next forty eight hours or less. I got

1818
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 1: to work up my hatred level for the Patriots because

1819
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 1: we've been too nice to them all a week. I

1820
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 1: think you know what I mean this? Yeah, And then

1821
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 1: you didn't have it, didn't It was about five seconds

1822
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 1: later where you had a list of I think whatever.

1823
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 1: Maybe it was a David Tyree reminder that got me

1824
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: going about that was great? You remember that Super Bowl? Yeah? Great? Yeah,

1825
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 1: watching those guys and weren't they they were unbeaten going

1826
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 1: into that game. Giants, weren't they? Yeah? Nineteen And I

1827
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: got a friend who's a Giants fan who had the

1828
01:27:53,280 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 1: dead t shirts made up. Nineteen wins and one giant loss. Right, perfect,

1829
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: It's perfect. Yeah, if I can watch that game. Look,

1830
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm motivated. But you know we've been to night, don't

1831
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: you agree? You know what, Brady has had a great career.

1832
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 1: We've been talking like that all week. You know, let's

1833
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:13,760
Speaker 1: let's try to plug into some of this fan karma here,

1834
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, don't You don't have to do anything crazy

1835
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,600
Speaker 1: or say anything crazy. But look, they are not a

1836
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,639
Speaker 1: likable team. They're not a likable champion there. And I'll

1837
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 1: say this, they are a difficult team. It's it's hard

1838
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 1: to appreciate them because they made it difficult with all

1839
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: of their transgressions, whether it's Spygate or anything else. Gate,

1840
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: Deflake Gate, Spygate, spy Gate. Yeah, it's hard to say, Wow,

1841
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 1: there's a true champion. No chung Gate now, Patrick chung Gate.

1842
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: Now they got some things Antonio brown Gate. Yeah, it

1843
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 1: was good enough for them for a week and a

1844
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 1: half until they realize what everybody else has seen. Whatever,

1845
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 1: let's hear from you. What do you think? What would

1846
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:53,439
Speaker 1: Bill's victory over the Patriots look like? We know how

1847
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 1: it would feel. What would it look like, let's go

1848
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: to Joe and Tonawanda. Hello Joe, you're on the air

1849
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 1: with this, Hi guys, HI think would key to a victory?

1850
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: Who checked this out? Would look like a qv sneak

1851
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: on fourth and one instead of a field goal. We

1852
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't need that. And how about a screen with awesome

1853
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:17,799
Speaker 1: Knox blacking or possibly a tight end screen with Knox

1854
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll see ramble part two? Thank you, thank you.

1855
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 1: I do think Knox is probably going to get a

1856
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: second look, Steve, you're in after his production last week

1857
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: and yes, one big play forty nine yards. I think

1858
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is going to get a chance to show

1859
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff at least that he's for real, that

1860
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: he can be a major contributor. And I think he

1861
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: would be a good weapon to have in this game.

1862
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:42,759
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact. Yeah, yeah, he's the flavor

1863
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 1: of the week, no question about it, and people want

1864
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,600
Speaker 1: to see more of what he showed him against the

1865
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:54,839
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. I'm still this of this mind. All forty

1866
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: five guys that are active on Sunday are going to

1867
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: have to contribute for the Bills to win this game.

1868
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,720
Speaker 1: You got to hit on all forty five cylinders. You

1869
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: got to play mistake free football and you got to

1870
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 1: play great football. Uh. The Patriots just don't make any mistakes.

1871
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,760
Speaker 1: And they're gifted. They got guys playing roles that they're

1872
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 1: very good at. They're very experienced in the system. They're

1873
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:19,240
Speaker 1: everything you would expect a really good NFL team to be.

1874
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 1: And the Bills. While they've got that we we think

1875
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:24,880
Speaker 1: and I believe they've got that in the under the hood,

1876
01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 1: they haven't really shown it that they can call on

1877
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: it and have it show up right when they need it.

1878
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 1: It may show up, and I think they're just gonna

1879
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 1: need to show up at times this Sunday. I think

1880
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 1: the Bills have got a lot of talent. They're deep.

1881
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 1: This is as good a football team we've had in

1882
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo for a long long time, and it shows it's

1883
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,160
Speaker 1: it's shown in the first three games. Now it's going

1884
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 1: to get tested and tested in a big way. Here's

1885
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Carl in Clarence. Go ahead, Carl, Welcome to the show.

1886
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 1: The whole reason I feel better about this New England

1887
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 1: game I have against in the last ten years. We

1888
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 1: have the guns, we have the continuity, and I think

1889
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:10,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear the cadence of the Bill's Mafia like

1890
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 1: you've never heard it before after Spree wins in a row.

1891
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 1: And I know that doesn't come for much, but don't

1892
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,240
Speaker 1: think for a second that don't stalls on one and

1893
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: half of one percent of their mind their second geez,

1894
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:26,000
Speaker 1: I gotta go play in that stadium. Yeah, I'm Brady

1895
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 1: has said it this week, what a great atmosphere it is.

1896
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: And see if you can handle this question. I think

1897
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:34,800
Speaker 1: in some ways coming to Buffalo as an opponent, Yes,

1898
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 1: it's a paint of the neck, as Carl just pointed out,

1899
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure, and it makes things difficult for the offense

1900
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: in some ways, though, I bet it is a motivator

1901
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:45,839
Speaker 1: for visiting teams like, Wow, this is a real loud, involved,

1902
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:49,600
Speaker 1: energized place. This reminds me of playing at LSU or

1903
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 1: at Alabama or wherever I played in my college career. Right,

1904
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 1: don't you think I'm not saying it motivates him, but

1905
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure it gets her attention like, oh, we're on

1906
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 1: a Buffalo. That'll be nuts. I think it's I think

1907
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 1: now it's particularly this year teams are shown up here

1908
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 1: going why they've got a good team and now they've

1909
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:07,680
Speaker 1: always then they've got that thing they've always had, and

1910
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 1: that's his crowd. Certainly, it was always a spectacle coming

1911
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:12,840
Speaker 1: in here as a team, but you always felt like, okay,

1912
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 1: for a lot of years, teams probably thought, Okay, this

1913
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 1: is how we all do. You go down the list,

1914
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:20,679
Speaker 1: and when you come to Buffalo, everybody was circling. Okay,

1915
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 1: that's a win. That's a win, that's a win. You know,

1916
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:23,880
Speaker 1: all these teams were saying, you know, we're gonna beat

1917
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,080
Speaker 1: that team. But they knew too. If they played him

1918
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, there was an added degree of difficulty because

1919
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 1: the fans were gonna show up. It's an atmosphere that's unique,

1920
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 1: no question about it. We saw it last week in

1921
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 1: the home open against Cincinnati. I think this game is

1922
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 1: gonna be off the charts because, unlike the players would

1923
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:44,040
Speaker 1: have the routine, the Bills fans routine they do crescendo.

1924
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 1: There are big games in this market. There are big

1925
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:50,759
Speaker 1: games in that stadium, and the crowd treats those games differently,

1926
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 1: and you know this game is one of those. It's

1927
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:56,840
Speaker 1: gonna be different in there. I think the Patriots realize it.

1928
01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Hard to imagine it being any than it will be.

1929
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 1: How how does it get louder than that lesson? There

1930
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 1: will be more people screaming louder, so you know, and

1931
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 1: they'll do it. I know. I'm in the front or

1932
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 1: our boot with headphones on so I can hear Eric

1933
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 1: Eric Wood and hear everything. And a couple of times

1934
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:15,919
Speaker 1: bills on defense. I just kind of removed the headphones

1935
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I couldn't hear anything. Yeah, anything,

1936
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 1: you can't the people next year you can hear. I'm

1937
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 1: literally meeting you that far away from here, quod his

1938
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 1: mouth's movement. I can't ever think that's how louder. How

1939
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 1: could I gilled be louder? I don't know. I could sure,

1940
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. We're breaking air coming back.

1941

Speaker 1: We got Lorenzo Alexander coming up in the next hour.

1943
01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:40,559
Speaker 1: and about this game. And the Bronkowski brothers, including Rob,

1944

01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 1: but head coach On McDermot says Singletary got in good

1957
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 1: work today and when he was asked whether Singletary might

1958
01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 1: play against New England, mcdermot's response was, we will see.

1959
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:34,800
Speaker 1: He has ruled out tight end Tyler Croft with his

1960
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 1: foot and ankle issues, and linebacker Corey Thompson, who an

1961
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 1: ankle surgery earlier this week. Both of them declared out

1962
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 1: for Sunday. Patriot's injury list well yesterday, Julian Edelman was

Speaker 1: he did practice today. Weather's gonna be great. Sixteen ninetygrees,

1967

Speaker 1: o'clock kickoff Sunday the Bills and the New England Patriots,

1969
01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,559

Speaker 1: canal the game with Eric Wood in the booth and

1973
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Sal Capaccio down on the sidelines. Jacksonville Jaguars looks like

1974
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,600
Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to repair their relationship

1975
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 1: with cornerback Jalen Ramsey. He reiterated yesterday he still wants

1976
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: out of Jacksonville. The Jaguars twenty to seven victory over

1977
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 1: Tennessee last week. Ramsey believed that that was his final

1978
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 1: game of the franchise. He was the fifth overall pick

1979
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, and nothing has happened to patch up

1980
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,640
Speaker 1: that relationship. You be Football on the road tomorrow, their

Speaker 1: to play Miami. The Bulls have won five of their

1984
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 1: last seven meetings against the RedHawks. You'd be running the

1985
01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: ball well. They rushed for two hundred yards or more

1986
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:50,759
Speaker 1: in three of their four games so far this season.

1987

01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 1: you guys doing well? We are well. We're all sideways

2000
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 1: about the Patriots this week. Nobody can sleep yeah, no,

2001
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 1: I hear, huh. I'm missleeping like a baby. That's good.

2002
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 1: That's good. Ye. We were talking to here Sean and

2003
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: was on after the meeting after practice with the meeting,

2004
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 1: he said, listen, we trust our process, we trust our preparation,

2005
01:36:57,439 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 1: we trust what we're doing. We're doing things right, and

2006
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 1: that's what I've been I told Murph a little bit

2007
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:03,680
Speaker 1: about it, and the listeners too. That's kind of what

2008
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:05,600
Speaker 1: you lean on. Yeah, you have to. Every game is

2009
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 1: a big game, right, and this one you're preparing like

2010
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,640
Speaker 1: it's a big game like the rest. Yeah, I mean

2011
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:14,120
Speaker 1: every week there's a certain standard that you want to

2012
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 1: achieve when you go out there and play, and coaches

2013
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:19,800
Speaker 1: put in a a plan in order to achieve that

2014
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 1: and it doesn't change a week to week. And once

2015
01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:25,519
Speaker 1: you start changing things based on who you playing, you

2016
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 1: know what are you really doing, not the game plan,

2017
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 1: but the routine team, how you practice, you know what

2018
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 1: time meetings are, even game plan, how much stuff are

2019
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 1: you gonna put in? Um, because sometimes coaches get a

2020
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 1: little tight and we got to put all this stuff

2021
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:43,120
Speaker 1: in and then it becomes overwhelming. And so this continue

2022
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 1: process like you would and approach them like any other team,

2023
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 1: because once you start doing that, then you don't really

2024
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:51,960
Speaker 1: have a process or an identity because it's all over

2025
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 1: the place. Because one team one week, you maybe playing

2026
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 1: somebody that's not really good in your eyes. Next week

2027
01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:57,920
Speaker 1: you may be playing a team like the Page that

2028
01:37:58,000 --> 01:37:59,600
Speaker 1: are really good. I mean, And so where do you

2029
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 1: find your balance as a player. The Patriots have always

2030
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 1: been doing that. Certainly, they're really really talented. Got a

2031
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:06,720
Speaker 1: lot of great players, starting with the quarterback all the

2032
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: way through the defensive side of the ball. They got

2033
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:10,599
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. But the way that notoriously they

2034
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 1: win games is they execute you to death, right. They

2035
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,479
Speaker 1: just don't make any mistakes anywhere. No, they played great

2036
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 1: sound football fundamentally. You know, they protect the ball, they

2037
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:23,600
Speaker 1: don't give up big plays. You really see them have

2038
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:28,639
Speaker 1: penalties and so or turnovers for that matter. And it's

2039
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 1: hard to do that for four quarters as a team,

2040
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:35,120
Speaker 1: and they've been able to do that consistently throughout fair

2041
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:37,799
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I guess rain over the NFL.

2042
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 1: You know, for the lack of a better phrase, Sean,

2043
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 1: as are you at the point this team at the

2044
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 1: point three years into McDermott's tenure here does he have

2045
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:48,160
Speaker 1: to settle people down or talk about the process or

2046
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 1: is it pretty much understood that, hey, this is how

2047
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:52,599
Speaker 1: we approach big games. No, I think you never can

2048
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,040
Speaker 1: assume anything, because that's when you know, I can make

2049
01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 1: an ass out of you and me. And especially when

2050
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 1: you have a lot of young guys because we are

2051
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:02,800
Speaker 1: a young team, you have to verbalize that and make

2052
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:04,920
Speaker 1: sure guys understand it because you never want to just

2053
01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about it and kind of around it.

2054
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:09,560
Speaker 1: Now you want to be very blunt and clear so

2055
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: everybody knows what the standard is, what our message messaging

2056
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 1: is for that week, and then it allows the leadership

2057
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 1: to kind to reflect that in how we practice and

2058
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 1: how we do meetings and making sure nothing's changing and

2059
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: be able to give that message the same thing into

2060
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:26,920
Speaker 1: the locker room and when we speak to the meeting.

2061
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far down this road

2062
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:32,240
Speaker 1: before we go back and and ask you about the

2063
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: fact that Harry Phillips man acl tough injury and I know, listen,

2064
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I know you don't have time to wait on him

2065
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:40,120
Speaker 1: and the league rolls on. Do you feel bad for

2066
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: the guy? My question is you know what kind of

2067
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 1: voyages that lead and leave. I mean, he's a second

2068
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 1: year guy coming in, but he was really transforming himself, right, Yeah, Yeah,

2069
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:50,600
Speaker 1: obviously Harry's great um, you know, love him like a

2070
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 1: little brother, and it's definitely hard to see a guy

2071
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: that was really starting to come to his own, really

2072
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 1: starting to understand how he can play, starting to play

2073
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 1: a lot faster, and and because the game before he

2074
01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: had he was he got the game ball and it

2075
01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 1: just shows you his his progression, especially losing Kyle and

2076
01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 1: not losing another great communicator on the defensive line and

2077
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 1: player is definitely a hard void. You know, we're gonna

2078
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: bring up Kyle Peco and he's going to fill in

2079
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 1: and continue that rotation. And like you said, you know

2080
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:20,719
Speaker 1: the it's kind of like that next man up type

2081
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 1: of mentality. But at the same time, which I've really loved,

2082
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:25,240
Speaker 1: is Harry still come to the meeting, still being engaged

2083
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 1: until he gets his surgery. And I'm pretty sure once

2084
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:29,560
Speaker 1: he's still able to, you know, either crutch around or

2085
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 1: scooter around, whatever it is, he'll still be back in

2086
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 1: there giving his perspective, whether it's breaking down off as

2087
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 1: a lineman with how they like to run, and kind

2088
01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:39,680
Speaker 1: of being a pseudo extra coach for us as well,

2089
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: which is really great for a young player. A couple times, Yeah, yeah,

2090
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: he has a call she in his hand, um, you know,

2091
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 1: looking at the things and just helping guys. I mean,

2092
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:49,840
Speaker 1: it's so much value you can bring to a team

2093
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:53,679
Speaker 1: outside of you know, obviously playing it's the most value,

2094
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:56,719
Speaker 1: but coaching guys up, helping them because you see different eyes,

2095
01:40:56,800 --> 01:40:58,560
Speaker 1: you can maybe talk to them differently than maybe a

2096
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 1: coach would, and it really helps out the team. UM

2097
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 1: in a hole when guys still want to contribute and

2098
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 1: not kind of go into that Woe is me. I'm

2099
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 1: assault because I can't be a part of the team

2100
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:10,240
Speaker 1: the way I would like to do. You got a

2101
01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 1: guy who retired who comes back to practice back all week. Yeah,

2102
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 1: it's been great. He kind of pops in and pops out.

2103
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of been a great, UM resource for us.

2104
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 1: He texts us every week as far as what he

2105
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:25,880
Speaker 1: sees from the opposing offensive line, the run game, some

2106
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 1: of the weaknesses that we could see. Text everybody. Um,

2107
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:31,640
Speaker 1: he touches everybody, predominantly me and Harrison, and then we

2108
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: kind of relay that message when he's not in the building.

2109
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:38,720
Speaker 1: When he's here, obviously he shares with everybody. UM, just

2110
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 1: trying to you know, give us some um, you know,

2111
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: some points from his perspective because he did it for

2112
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 1: so long, so it's still great to still have that

2113
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 1: resource even though he's not physically out there on the

2114
01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: field with us. And this came this last week. One

2115
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:51,960
Speaker 1: of the highlights that keeps get getting played over and

2116
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 1: over is your hit on autumn tape. Yeah. Yeah, I

2117
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:56,720
Speaker 1: was in the back of the boot, isn't the first

2118
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 1: half us in the back of the merch boot. I

2119
01:41:58,479 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 1: don't know if I came out over the are, but

2120
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:03,360
Speaker 1: that hit happened and I can be out. You know,

2121
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:05,720
Speaker 1: it was a reaction played by me because the kid,

2122
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, he took a little hop step and stepped

2123
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 1: right back. Yeah. Yeah. And the only thing it would

2124
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 1: have made it better if the ball would have came

2125
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 1: out kind of like the AJ Green hit and we

2126
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 1: could have got the ball right there. But you know,

2127
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:18,240
Speaker 1: just running to the ball. That's that's where we talk

2128
01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: about sharks running because the players never over And what

2129
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 1: I found out, you know, good defenses, there's gonna be

2130
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:26,240
Speaker 1: a lot of mistackles, but if you got guys hunting

2131
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,920
Speaker 1: it up, running hard, playing hard, you're gonna get a

2132
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 1: chance to hit a guy like this. And he was

2133
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 1: six five, cutting back and it was a big targeting

2134
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 1: it and it felt good. You mistackles a good defense,

2135
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,560
Speaker 1: it happens, I mean, because guys are flying and you

2136
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: have great athletes in this league is a cutback league,

2137
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:43,439
Speaker 1: and you can't always be in the perfect spot, so

2138
01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:45,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have guys like on that. On that play,

2139
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:47,640
Speaker 1: Tremaine overran it, but I was there to cover him up.

2140
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:49,800
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure that a lot of times where

2141
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:51,720
Speaker 1: I've overran it and Tremaine is making the play for me.

2142
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:54,160
Speaker 1: So that's why you have to have That's why people

2143
01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 1: love to populate the ball because there are such great athletes.

2144
01:42:57,240 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 1: It's hard to tackle guys one on one and you

2145
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:01,599
Speaker 1: have mistack, but if you have three four guys around

2146
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 1: the ball, somebody's going to get a big hit. I

2147
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:05,839
Speaker 1: was trying to think all week about how the Patriots

2148
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 1: have managed to have this outstanding, I mean, really ridiculous

2149
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:11,759
Speaker 1: defensive numbers. You've seen them. They're number one in every category.

2150
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,639
Speaker 1: And I landed on this um kind of pro football

2151
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:19,960
Speaker 1: focused stats. Um Patriots right now miss tackles on six

2152
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:22,280
Speaker 1: percent of the plays, which is by far the lowest

2153
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,560
Speaker 1: amount of the league, which I'm thinking is at it

2154
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:27,680
Speaker 1: some people think it because they're fast. People think are

2155
01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 1: all smart. I don't know. I'm only missing six. Yeah,

2156
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean I haven't watched the defense, so I don't

2157
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,560
Speaker 1: know how how it was being played. But I know

2158
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:36,960
Speaker 1: when you're getting up on people, people have to pass

2159
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 1: the ball and if you know catching throw, you're throwing

2160
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:42,759
Speaker 1: a deep ball. DB's there knocking down easy stuff, easy tackles.

2161
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:44,880
Speaker 1: You get away from the run game. So they're not

2162
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:47,080
Speaker 1: It's not like they have to tackle running backs constantly.

2163
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:49,439
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's probably a lot of factors that's

2164
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 1: playing into that, but that is obviously a great job

2165
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 1: as far as tackling in space. Before we get into

2166
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 1: the lowdown, I want to take a call to you

2167
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:58,240
Speaker 1: got your earpiece in. Let's take a call. Let's go

2168
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:02,439
Speaker 1: to a Tom Loose on the line for Budapest in Hungary.

2169
01:44:02,640 --> 01:44:05,880
Speaker 1: Is that right, Tom? Yes? Hey, how are you guys

2170
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 1: doing today? Good? What time is it in Budapest? Right

2171
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:14,160
Speaker 1: on the Budapest guys. Um. I'm sorry for the connection

2172
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:16,240
Speaker 1: because it might be a little bit slow, but I've

2173
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:18,759
Speaker 1: been listening to the show. I always have actually watched

2174
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:21,519
Speaker 1: the games on Sunday. I'm not gonna get into howel

2175
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 1: but I do, and Um, I gotta tell you, guys,

2176
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be the opposite of what I've

2177
01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:33,479
Speaker 1: been hearing and reading on all the sports talks and

2178
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:37,040
Speaker 1: everything else, is I don't think that it's gonna be

2179
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:39,559
Speaker 1: as close as people think. I think the first half

2180
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,280
Speaker 1: is going to be close, like New England will do.

2181
01:44:42,439 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 1: They'll make you play left handed. Therefore, Sweeney and Knox

2182
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:49,960
Speaker 1: are gonna have big games. Brown's gonna get taken out,

2183
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 1: and so Beasley. They're they're gonna shut down down. They're

2184
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:56,240
Speaker 1: eventually gonna shut down our run game the first half

2185
01:44:56,280 --> 01:44:59,640
Speaker 1: of the game. And that's where Knox and Sweeney are

2186
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna and we're going to give him a taste of

2187
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 1: the old Gronk medicine. Okay, all right, Actually I see

2188
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:10,200
Speaker 1: that coming, and I see the second half being a big,

2189
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,400
Speaker 1: big open up because we're gonna actually start running the

2190
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:17,000
Speaker 1: game because we could run New England cannot uh. And

2191
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:19,680
Speaker 1: with New House being out and New House is not

2192
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 1: gonna play this weekend, I know he's sick. Um he

2193
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:27,080
Speaker 1: practiced today. Yeah, he'll be back in all right, thanks,

2194
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm um. I was gonna ask him what time it

2195
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:30,600
Speaker 1: was I didn't get answer. It's gonna be midnight, right,

2196
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:35,880
Speaker 1: was a force and in this division we all knew

2197
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:37,880
Speaker 1: what he did. In fact, that Rob's coming up on

2198
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:39,320
Speaker 1: the show with us with his brothers in a couple

2199
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:41,840
Speaker 1: of minutes. But is it easier to look at New

2200
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 1: England and not have to start with what do we

2201
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:46,360
Speaker 1: do with that guy? Yeah? I mean it's obviously easier

2202
01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 1: because he was a you know, a generational style player,

2203
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean it's going to be easy because

2204
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:54,800
Speaker 1: they still have number twelve back there and all the

2205
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 1: other weapons that go along with them. Edelman, you think

2206
01:45:57,080 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 1: about white something, Michelle, Um, they're just really good, Gordon outside.

2207
01:46:01,040 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they still have always been able to overcome,

2208
01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, a star player leaving. They just insert the

2209
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 1: next guy, coach him up, and then eventually he becomes

2210
01:46:11,080 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 1: a stud as well. And so I don't ever downplay

2211
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: anybody that's out on that field, you know, when especially

2212
01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 1: when we start taking Gronk or whoever else. I know, Um,

2213
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:24,000
Speaker 1: the fullback isn't playing every Devlin, but they're gonna find

2214
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:26,720
Speaker 1: somebody to go out there, execute and play, you know,

2215
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:28,680
Speaker 1: And that's just what they've known for for doing and

2216
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 1: whoever out there is gonna line up right and he's

2217
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna do it and execute. And that's all you have

2218
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:35,040
Speaker 1: to do in the NFL. If you can do that

2219
01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:37,160
Speaker 1: at a high level, you have a chance of being

2220
01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 1: productive and impactful. Yeah, and that's that's the reason they're

2221
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:42,080
Speaker 1: so difficult to beat. They hit on they hit on

2222
01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:43,960
Speaker 1: that side of the ball all the time. They you know,

2223
01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:45,800
Speaker 1: all eleven guys do what they're supposed to do, and

2224
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 1: then three different guys come in and it's a different

2225
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,360
Speaker 1: eleven guys. They still do the exact same thing, right,

2226
01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 1: you know they do this. That's why you know you've

2227
01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: got to you really got to play all four quarters

2228
01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 1: against this team and get off to a fast start too,

2229
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 1: because you can't get into a spot where you to

2230
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 1: change your your tech exactly. And that's key. One more

2231
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:06,719
Speaker 1: call before for you, Lorenzo, before we get to the lowdown.

2232
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:09,160
Speaker 1: This one from a little bit closer George and Cheekawaga.

2233
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 1: Hello George, Welcome to the show. George, Yes you're on

2234
01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:17,840
Speaker 1: the air. Oh sorry about that. That's all right. We

2235
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,519
Speaker 1: had no problem with the guy from Hungary and go ahead.

2236
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:26,120
Speaker 1: I heard that. Yeah, first of all, I know Lorenzo

2237
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:29,160
Speaker 1: is on. But I was truly at the New Orleans

2238
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: comeback game. I was working security that day, and after

2239
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:34,679
Speaker 1: Frank threw that pick six to start the second half,

2240
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:37,560
Speaker 1: three quarter of the stadium leapt. Yeah. It wasn't the

2241
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 1: New Orleans game as the Oilers game. Yeah, but I

2242
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:43,160
Speaker 1: get you the Oilers game. That's what I said, right, Okay,

2243
01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 1: they all, I know what you mean about how loud

2244
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:51,680
Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was crazy. Um. As far

2245
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:55,600
Speaker 1: as winning this week, I think Brady has made his

2246
01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 1: career out of timing passes and short ones over the middle.

2247
01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:02,720
Speaker 1: Since Randy Moss left when he and he through the

2248
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 1: long ones, he doesn't do that that much anymore. And

2249
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 1: I think if we get the defensive line to keep

2250
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:12,719
Speaker 1: pushing the offensive our defensive line to push their offensive

2251
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:16,639
Speaker 1: line guys back and keep jumping and blocking those passes

2252
01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 1: like they have the first couple of weeks, I think

2253
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:22,400
Speaker 1: we can be really effective. And if we jam their

2254
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 1: receivers at the line and break up their timing routes

2255
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. What do you make of that?

2256
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean there's always key, uh you know,

2257
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 1: obviously being able to win your matchups. Obviously, Tom loves

2258
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 1: to throw over the middle Edelman, you know, counterpass, which

2259
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 1: is over the middle, and if you can get your

2260
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:40,000
Speaker 1: hands on some balls and maybe break up some of

2261
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 1: those plays, especially on you know, second and long, third

2262
01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:47,000
Speaker 1: and long and put him in some advantageous spots for

2263
01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 1: us defensively. Um definitely helps out. I mean, but he's

2264
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 1: always anytime that he's off his spot, er has to

2265
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: really worry about the rush or feel like people are

2266
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:59,760
Speaker 1: in his face. Like any quarterback, he struggles a little bit.

2267
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 1: He's as effective correct and you know, and he's mobile

2268
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 1: within the quarterback, I'm within the pocket. And so the

2269
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:09,320
Speaker 1: key is to you know, obviously just collapsing as much

2270
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:12,200
Speaker 1: as you can, to have him really looking at guys

2271
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:14,800
Speaker 1: that may have a chance of hitting him and taking

2272
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 1: his eyes down field and so and you know, that's

2273
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 1: that's always the key, no matter when when you're planning

2274
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: nd Alexander, whether it's every Friday for the lowdown, he's

2275
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:24,880
Speaker 1: got some keys to the Buffalo Bills a game. Let's

2276
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:27,040
Speaker 1: start with that. And I like your first one. I'm

2277
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:29,959
Speaker 1: intrigued by your first one. Don't feed into the Patriots

2278
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:32,519
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I think we've talked about this a

2279
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:34,599
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, obviously they are what a six

2280
01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:38,000
Speaker 1: time super Bowl champs, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and I

2281
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 1: think teams a lot of times lose the game even

2282
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 1: before they play it because they approach the week differently.

2283
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:48,200
Speaker 1: Coaches tightened up, They want to put in fifteen new

2284
01:49:48,280 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 1: calls to try to stop all this stuff that they're doing. Um,

2285
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:55,639
Speaker 1: you know, they coach different. Players are tight and you can't.

2286
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:57,720
Speaker 1: You can't play like that. You have to approach every

2287
01:49:57,880 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: like we said the same way. You have to have

2288
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:02,600
Speaker 1: a flow um that you've created and if you have

2289
01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 1: to feel like you have to change, you're doing something

2290
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:06,040
Speaker 1: completely wrong. And so don't get caught up in that

2291
01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:08,599
Speaker 1: and who they are what or who they have been,

2292
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 1: because when you do that, Tom and Belicheck coul end

2293
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 1: up come out there to destroy you because they really

2294
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:17,400
Speaker 1: don't care about that that stuff, what they've done. They

2295
01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:19,400
Speaker 1: trying to get another one. They live in the in

2296
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:21,720
Speaker 1: the in the present, and we have to do the

2297
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 1: same thing and not worry about what they've been and

2298
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 1: where they've been, but worry about this current game and

2299
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 1: go out there and execute. It's. Um. We've been saying

2300
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 1: that all week right since Monday, you and I started

2301
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 1: the history of this matchup, which is irrelevant. It really

2302
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:39,080
Speaker 1: at one o'clock on Sunday, does It doesn't matter and

2303
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 1: we all know that we have those numbers are but

2304
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:44,880
Speaker 1: who cares right that one o'clock on Sunday. You guys

2305
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 1: can't worry about it exactly. And half this team hasn't

2306
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 1: even been here. I mean even for the last the

2307
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:52,000
Speaker 1: last two seasons that Shine has coached against this team,

2308
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:54,000
Speaker 1: majority of the guys who haven't even been here. This

2309
01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:56,040
Speaker 1: is a new team, and that's how we have to

2310
01:50:56,120 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: approach it. And obviously from a fan perspective of a

2311
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:00,200
Speaker 1: little bit different because they've lived through all that. It's

2312
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 1: still part of it, you know, the whole thing. And

2313
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:04,000
Speaker 1: so that's why there's always a little bit of a

2314
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:06,080
Speaker 1: disconnect when we talk about what's a big game and

2315
01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 1: how you approach it as far as fan versus player.

2316
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, low down Number two played play football. Yeah, yeah,

2317
01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:16,720
Speaker 1: we've kind of been talking about it. I mean, that's

2318
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:18,599
Speaker 1: how they win games. I mean, they don't do anything

2319
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:22,599
Speaker 1: that's out of this world of spectacular um. Because Tom

2320
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 1: does make mistakes at the time, you have to take

2321
01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 1: advantage of them when you get them. But at the

2322
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 1: end of it, they protect the football, the sound, fundamentally,

2323
01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:32,519
Speaker 1: the execute the great situation of football. As far as

2324
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 1: understanding you know, third down, second down, backed up, red zone,

2325
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:39,240
Speaker 1: special teams clock. They have a great sense of all

2326
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 1: that time challenge up the double dip, score right before

2327
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:45,240
Speaker 1: the half, and then get the ball back and come

2328
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:48,120
Speaker 1: back and score again. Now they have two scores. They

2329
01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 1: don't beat themselves as far as penalties ever. Really you

2330
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 1: see teams doing that against them, like the AFC Championship

2331
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 1: game last years, somebody lining up off side. They capitalize

2332
01:51:56,280 --> 01:51:58,559
Speaker 1: in the game, right, yeah, yeah, So all these things

2333
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:00,680
Speaker 1: feel position, all these things how they play when you

2334
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 1: look at them when they're planning or when the opposing

2335
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 1: team is planning, it's like fourth and fifteen. They can

2336
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:08,240
Speaker 1: double vice return and they get more field position that way.

2337
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:12,600
Speaker 1: So you as as as the opponent playing them, you

2338
01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: have to be able to do all that they do

2339
01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:16,040
Speaker 1: and do it for four quarters, because they do it

2340
01:52:16,120 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 1: for four quarters and most teams typically crumble and we've

2341
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 1: been you know, a product of this as well, late third,

2342
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:27,519
Speaker 1: early fourth, just because it's it's it's tough, it's mentally

2343
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: tough to play a team that's not giving you anything

2344
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:31,800
Speaker 1: and you have to be able to match that for

2345
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 1: four quarters. Correct me from wrong, but it seems like

2346
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:37,559
Speaker 1: over the years less several years especially, pace has been

2347
01:52:37,600 --> 01:52:39,880
Speaker 1: important to their offense. Like fourth downs, they will rush

2348
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:41,720
Speaker 1: to the landscape. Yeah, I mean they do that. Yeah,

2349
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 1: they sprinkle that in and for me and last year

2350
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,600
Speaker 1: Monday Night, they came out and went no huddle and

2351
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 1: bass for the first series and ran it right. Yeah,

2352
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:53,040
Speaker 1: And I don't think that they necessarily like doing that.

2353
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,840
Speaker 1: They do that to get you uncomfortable and get you

2354
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,640
Speaker 1: all flustered. And now you on the sideline trying to

2355
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:00,760
Speaker 1: check everything and doing all other stuff and that's not

2356
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:02,760
Speaker 1: even their game plan. And they come back and get

2357
01:53:02,800 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 1: out of their first fifteen and they're doing the regular stuff,

2358
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 1: but you over there flustered about what they did two

2359
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 1: series ago. Still, so you know, they kind of mix

2360
01:53:10,360 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 1: it in just to kind of get you panicked. And

2361
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 1: so we constantly talk about calm, breeds calm because Tom

2362
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:19,479
Speaker 1: is obviously a great manipulator of tempo, go fast, go slow,

2363
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:22,040
Speaker 1: so you can't allow him to really dictate your emotions.

2364
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,840
Speaker 1: You have to just stay calm, you're prepared, and rely

2365
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:27,040
Speaker 1: on your fundamentals and technique and what we've looked at

2366
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 1: all week and rely on that. Now. Last thing low

2367
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:31,920
Speaker 1: down number three is when your matchup, it comes down

2368
01:53:31,960 --> 01:53:33,800
Speaker 1: to you. Every guy's got to think about his little

2369
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 1: part of the plan. Yeah, you gotta do your thing,

2370
01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:38,000
Speaker 1: no matter what else goes exactly. And this is another

2371
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:41,120
Speaker 1: thing they do great too, obviously offense or defense. They

2372
01:53:41,200 --> 01:53:43,639
Speaker 1: always you know, defensively they take away your two best

2373
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:47,559
Speaker 1: options and figure, you know, this other guy, we're gonna

2374
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 1: make him if y'all win, he has to have a

2375
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:52,559
Speaker 1: great game. And as far as offensively with Tom bred

2376
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:54,360
Speaker 1: they always trying to figure out who's on Edelman, you know,

2377
01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 1: back into the who's on ground? How are you? How

2378
01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:57,760
Speaker 1: are you going to match up or your or your

2379
01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 1: corners traveling or they staying, or you're playing man, you're

2380
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:02,120
Speaker 1: playing his own so they can exploit. Okay, well we

2381
01:54:02,200 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: think he's the weak link. Let's go after him. So

2382
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:08,759
Speaker 1: we have to be able to obviously from a defensive perspective,

2383
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:11,439
Speaker 1: not worry about Tom Brady, but the guy that you're

2384
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:13,639
Speaker 1: lining up on. So for me, when I'm rushing, I'm

2385
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:15,920
Speaker 1: worried about the offensive line and beating that guy, because

2386
01:54:15,960 --> 01:54:18,000
Speaker 1: that guy, as good as he is in NFL, he's

2387
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 1: not Tom Brady. You know, he's not the goat of

2388
01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,960
Speaker 1: all time. The receivers whoever you line up there, they're good,

2389
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:25,760
Speaker 1: but they're not Tom Brady. So if you can beat

2390
01:54:25,880 --> 01:54:30,639
Speaker 1: and win those matchups, whether it's rushing or defensively, being

2391
01:54:30,720 --> 01:54:34,120
Speaker 1: aggressive and playing good sound coverage, you make Tom Brady

2392
01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:36,760
Speaker 1: uncomfortable because now those passes that he's putting in, he

2393
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:39,760
Speaker 1: got to be even more precise, and over time, like anybody,

2394
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:41,840
Speaker 1: you eventually make a mistake or we get a couple

2395
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: of hits on him, and maybe he's not as crisp.

2396
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:45,200
Speaker 1: And that's what you have to worry about, not so

2397
01:54:45,400 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 1: much of what he's doing and commanding and talking about,

2398
01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:49,760
Speaker 1: because if you get enamored with him, that's when they

2399
01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:51,800
Speaker 1: eat you alive. One more thing, and that's the lowdown.

2400
01:54:51,880 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for that before we let you go last night.

2401
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:55,720
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot of good things happening for watching

2402
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:58,400
Speaker 1: him last night. But they did put a former Bill

2403
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:00,560

2492
01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:39,880
Speaker 1: my throne. It's that just run though right down. It's

2493
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:43,880
Speaker 1: much more than a wow. Jeez. Yeah. So it's a

2494
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:46,160
Speaker 1: five K. We're gonna be going to a bunch of stadiums.

2495
01:59:46,200 --> 01:59:49,240
Speaker 1: Are starting in Buffalo. We're bringing into Buffalo first, our hometown,

Speaker 1: going to Tampa two weeks later than hitting the college

2497
01:59:51,720 --> 01:59:54,200
Speaker 1: circuit in the spring. But you're basically running a five

2498
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:57,720
Speaker 1: k through the stadiums and then there's about fifteen obstacles

2499
01:59:57,800 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: between that you can choose to do or not and

2500
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:03,200
Speaker 1: you get points for everything you do and how fast

2501
02:00:03,240 --> 02:00:05,440
Speaker 1: you finish. So it's gonna be a good event for

2502
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:08,880
Speaker 1: people who are intense like Obsocle course racers, and it's

2503
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a good event for people who are just

2504
02:00:10,800 --> 02:00:13,960
Speaker 1: like fitness, want to enjoy something and uh want to

2505
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:16,080

2506
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:20,360
Speaker 1: sponsors and a good after party too. So and for

2507
02:00:20,440 --> 02:00:22,440
Speaker 1: those of you who listen on radio, it's a it's

2508
02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:24,440
Speaker 1: a it's a co ed thing and it is a

2509
02:00:24,520 --> 02:00:26,640
Speaker 1: competition though, right, I mean you can eat it, but

2510
02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:28,120
Speaker 1: it is kind of like a road race as well.

2511
02:00:28,160 --> 02:00:30,280
Speaker 1: People just come out for the fun of it, yep, exactly.

2512
02:00:30,320 --> 02:00:32,200
Speaker 1: So it covers all the bases we're trying to we're

2513
02:00:32,240 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 1: trying to hit everyone with this and more fun just

2514
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:38,200
Speaker 1: getting into the stadiums. We're gonna bring an awesome atmosphere.

2515
02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what we're all about, fitness and having fun. Um,

2516
02:00:41,840 --> 02:00:43,880
Speaker 1: that's what we've always been about. So that's what we're

2517
02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:46,560
Speaker 1: bringing into this. Glenn and Chris one, do you guys

2518
02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:48,960
Speaker 1: handle this? So who's the target audience here? Who's this

2519
02:00:49,080 --> 02:00:52,160
Speaker 1: set up for stadium Blitz? Yeah? So the best part

2520
02:00:52,200 --> 02:00:54,680
Speaker 1: about it is is that it's actually geared towards everybody

2521
02:00:55,440 --> 02:00:57,440
Speaker 1: from age of seven and up. You can go out

2522
02:00:57,480 --> 02:00:59,080
Speaker 1: there and you can do any obstacle you want you

2523
02:00:59,080 --> 02:01:02,120
Speaker 1: can actually skip pstacles if you want. So, if you're young,

2524
02:01:02,200 --> 02:01:03,640
Speaker 1: you just want to go out have a good time,

2525
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,760
Speaker 1: be there in your stadium under the lights and on

2526
02:01:06,880 --> 02:01:09,720
Speaker 1: the same field that your favorite players play on as well.

2527
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go out there. You can just

2528
02:01:11,440 --> 02:01:13,880
Speaker 1: do some obstacles. You can make a team of people

2529
02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:16,240
Speaker 1: that are the same age and do just a certain

2530
02:01:16,240 --> 02:01:18,680
Speaker 1: amount of obstacles if you want. So, it's really geared

2531
02:01:18,680 --> 02:01:20,600
Speaker 1: towards everybody. You can either go out and have fun,

2532
02:01:20,680 --> 02:01:23,480
Speaker 1: you can go out incompete, and it's says I mean really,

2533
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:25,160
Speaker 1: we try to make it so that anybody can go

2534
02:01:25,280 --> 02:01:27,760
Speaker 1: out and experience what the players get to experience on

2535
02:01:27,840 --> 02:01:29,920
Speaker 1: game day. And Chris, there's point to sign right for

2536
02:01:30,080 --> 02:01:33,560
Speaker 1: all the event you're completing. Ow well you do, Yeah,

2537
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:35,680
Speaker 1: so listen to this. You can get a team of

2538
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:39,400
Speaker 1: five together and you could try to beat plus five

2539
02:01:39,480 --> 02:01:42,600
Speaker 1: bros By getting more points than us all together. So

2540
02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:46,040
Speaker 1: get your best team of five. We got our best

2541
02:01:46,120 --> 02:01:50,880
Speaker 1: team of five and that's pretty impressive. Yeah, but if

2542
02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:54,600
Speaker 1: you could still brag that we will do so this

2543
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:57,960
Speaker 1: is the whole thing contained inside the stadium, or do

2544
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:00,200
Speaker 1: you go outside, run some road races and come back

2545
02:02:00,240 --> 02:02:01,920
Speaker 1: in for the obstacles. How does that work as it

2546
02:02:02,120 --> 02:02:04,600
Speaker 1: is the surrounding area involved or is this all strictly

2547
02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 1: inside the stadium? So a new area. It's going to

2548
02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:09,680
Speaker 1: be in the stadium. You're gonna be at a three

2549
02:02:09,760 --> 02:02:11,720
Speaker 1: hund level. You're gonna be running out of the stairs,

2550
02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:14,600
Speaker 1: the ramps all that. When we go to college stadium,

2551
02:02:14,640 --> 02:02:16,200
Speaker 1: some of them are going to allow us to leave

2552
02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:18,800
Speaker 1: the stadiums going to some of the fieldhouses to run

2553
02:02:18,880 --> 02:02:21,720
Speaker 1: through the locker rooms. And so it's going to be

2554
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:24,520
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty cool And would you advise the rab

2555
02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Let's ask you this question. Should people get their buddies

2556
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:28,680
Speaker 1: together and do this or do you do it individually?

2557
02:02:28,720 --> 02:02:31,240
Speaker 1: What do you think? No, I mean, it's whatever it

2558
02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:33,320
Speaker 1: is if you want to get some buddies. I mean,

2559
02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:36,200
Speaker 1: for me, I love working out with buddies. I love

2560
02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:38,000
Speaker 1: working out with my friends. I love working out with

2561
02:02:38,120 --> 02:02:40,600
Speaker 1: my brothers. Um, I just feel like you just pick

2562
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:43,000
Speaker 1: it up to another notch um. But if you're you

2563
02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:45,760
Speaker 1: know you're an individual and you know someone else can't

2564
02:02:45,760 --> 02:02:47,800
Speaker 1: make it with you, you can definitely come by yourself.

2565
02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:50,160
Speaker 1: You can compete with everyone there. We're all gonna be

2566
02:02:50,240 --> 02:02:53,440
Speaker 1: friendly It's gonna be a friendly atmosphere, no doubt, but

2567
02:02:53,520 --> 02:02:56,280
Speaker 1: it's also going to be a competition at the same time.

2568
02:02:56,440 --> 02:02:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, you want to push yourself, you want to

2569
02:02:58,440 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: bring your body to the next limits, and this is

2570
02:03:00,840 --> 02:03:02,840
Speaker 1: this is a time and place to do it. You know,

2571
02:03:02,920 --> 02:03:05,560
Speaker 1: you get the jitters from going into your favorite stadium,

2572
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:10,240
Speaker 1: and then also you got players NFL players around you,

2573
02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:12,840
Speaker 1: you got athletes around you. It's gonna take your game

2574
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 1: to the next level too, And that's what it's all about.

2575
02:03:15,880 --> 02:03:17,920
Speaker 1: And that's what we want to bring the people to

2576
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:20,080
Speaker 1: bring it to the next level. But at the same time,

2577
02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:23,000
Speaker 1: we're having fun, we're having competition and you can come

2578
02:03:23,080 --> 02:03:25,480
Speaker 1: by yourself or you can come with some buddies however

2579
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:27,600
Speaker 1: you would like. So what you're telling me this is

2580
02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:30,720
Speaker 1: this is for the highest stakes possible bragging rights to

2581
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:34,480
Speaker 1: your guys. Right, It isn't a way. I mean, it's

2582
02:03:34,520 --> 02:03:37,000
Speaker 1: a friendly competition, but also at the same time, you

2583
02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:39,160
Speaker 1: know you got you gotta make it bragging rights to

2584
02:03:39,400 --> 02:03:42,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. But also we're pushing each other, we're

2585
02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:44,680
Speaker 1: helping each other out. But in the end, you know,

2586
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:47,960
Speaker 1: whoever wins is going to have the bragging rights for sure, Dan,

2587
02:03:48,040 --> 02:03:50,680
Speaker 1: How much does it cost? Um? Yeah, So that's the

2588
02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:53,320
Speaker 1: thing right now, Buffalo is all about getting the people

2589
02:03:53,360 --> 02:03:55,680
Speaker 1: there the first one, getting the atmosphere going. So I

2590
02:03:55,760 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 1: think right now the main tickets are forty two dollars

2591
02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:05,000
Speaker 1: for general mission, and kids and college students are around

2592
02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:07,600
Speaker 1: twenty dollars on me, so that's that's about a quarter

2593
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:09,320
Speaker 1: of the price of what you're gonna get for normal

2594
02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:11,960
Speaker 1: ops of course race. So, like I said, we're just

2595
02:04:12,040 --> 02:04:14,200
Speaker 1: trying to pile everyone in for this first one. And

2596

2625
02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:55,440
Speaker 1: you guys, and anybody can handle this question. But years ago,

2626
02:05:55,520 --> 02:05:57,320
Speaker 1: when when I think with the three of you were

2627
02:05:57,360 --> 02:06:00,120
Speaker 1: in the league, I interviewed your dad Gordy to let

2628
02:06:00,120 --> 02:06:01,760
Speaker 1: me get this joy, I said, Gordy, who could imagine

2629
02:06:01,840 --> 02:06:03,480
Speaker 1: right that you'd have three kids in the NFL? And

2630
02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Gordy said, oh, I could. I kind of planned it

2631
02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:09,440
Speaker 1: this way. Is that true? Did he really believe that? Well,

2632
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:13,360
Speaker 1: he got four totals? Yeah, he had big His goal

2633
02:06:13,480 --> 02:06:16,240
Speaker 1: was to get us UM in college and that's after

2634
02:06:16,360 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 1: that was it was a plus. He always said, so

2635
02:06:19,040 --> 02:06:20,800
Speaker 1: that was more the goal. But I think, yeah, he's

2636
02:06:20,840 --> 02:06:23,400
Speaker 1: he's always kind of believed that. I believe Glenn, Chris Rob,

2637

Speaker 1: The five of No, No, everyone does does the course themselves,

2652
02:07:02,920 --> 02:07:04,800
Speaker 1: and then you could tell you the points as a team.

2653
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:07,360
Speaker 1: But you got to get your own score no matter what.

2654
02:07:07,600 --> 02:07:09,160
Speaker 1: How long does it take to get through the leaves,

2655
02:07:09,320 --> 02:07:11,200
Speaker 1: the goal is to beat it in forty minutes and

2658
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:19,800
Speaker 1: you go at your own pace. We'll probably all leave

2660
02:07:21,960 --> 02:07:24,600

02:09:48,360 --> 02:09:50,720
Speaker 1: good football team. And U and once I got the

2700
02:09:50,840 --> 02:09:54,360
Speaker 1: really actually thinking about it, you know who's playing really

2701
02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:58,200
Speaker 1: well for them, Stephan Gilmour. Yeah, he's playing really well.

2702
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:00,920
Speaker 1: And when you have a cornerback that's playing and that well,

2703
02:10:02,040 --> 02:10:05,000
Speaker 1: and he can match up man to man on anybody

2704
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:07,640
Speaker 1: that cuts half of the field off, that cuts half

2705
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:10,400
Speaker 1: of the field off, So you know, it should be

2706
02:10:10,440 --> 02:10:13,560
Speaker 1: an interesting game. But I think the Bills, you know,

2707
02:10:13,760 --> 02:10:17,200
Speaker 1: their secondary has really played well too, Buffalo, they yes,

2708
02:10:17,480 --> 02:10:21,840
Speaker 1: absolutely they have. I am so impressed with Mica Hot

2709
02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:25,640
Speaker 1: and Jordan Poor and how they've really handled that secondary

2710
02:10:25,680 --> 02:10:27,800
Speaker 1: and been on point with every single game. I mean

2711
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 1: they've they've been outstanding. Dermantowns, how about Thurman in the middle.

2712
02:10:32,080 --> 02:10:36,200
Speaker 1: It should be an interesting game, you think, really? Yeah,

2713
02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:38,160
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be an interesting game. He was

2714
02:10:38,160 --> 02:10:41,360
Speaker 1: talking about the Buffalo secondary the Patriots secondary. Gregg co

2715
02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Seal had similar thoughts. Gregg co Sell, executive producer analysts

2716
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:47,960
Speaker 1: for NFL Matchup on ESPN. He joins us every Friday

2717
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:50,960
Speaker 1: at one, says, the Patriots defense obviously very good, and

2718
02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 1: it all starts on the back end of their defense

2719
02:10:53,280 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: in the secondary. Their secondary is really good and they

2720
02:10:57,360 --> 02:10:59,680
Speaker 1: play a ton of man coverage. It'd be interesting to

2721
02:10:59,680 --> 02:11:02,680
Speaker 1: see feel more follows and travels with any of the

2722
02:11:02,760 --> 02:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Bills receivers. I don't know if they'll look at at

2723
02:11:05,880 --> 02:11:08,320
Speaker 1: anyone in particular and say, hey, that guy we have

2724
02:11:08,440 --> 02:11:10,600
Speaker 1: to shut down. I don't know if the Bill's offense

2725
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:14,000
Speaker 1: is at that point yet, so we'll have to wait

2726
02:11:14,080 --> 02:11:16,560
Speaker 1: and see. I mean maybe in certain situations, maybe it's

2727
02:11:16,640 --> 02:11:18,640
Speaker 1: John Brown, But I don't know if they'll look at

2728
02:11:18,880 --> 02:11:22,000
Speaker 1: one guy and say, hey, that's the guy, we absolutely

2729
02:11:22,160 --> 02:11:24,160
Speaker 1: have to take out of the game or we can't

2730
02:11:24,200 --> 02:11:27,200
Speaker 1: beat the Bills. Fair point, I think I thought at

2731
02:11:27,240 --> 02:11:29,120
Speaker 1: the time and still think by Greg go Sell, Steven,

2732
02:11:29,160 --> 02:11:30,880
Speaker 1: you know what I think back all this week on

2733
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 1: all the programming we've done, And there were comments from

2734
02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt on Tuesday about Josh Allen and a signature game.

2735
02:11:38,920 --> 02:11:41,280
Speaker 1: A victory this week for Josh Allen and the Bills

2736
02:11:41,600 --> 02:11:44,240
Speaker 1: would be his signature game and would really put him

2737
02:11:44,280 --> 02:11:46,600
Speaker 1: on the map. Not that. Look, I know he's developing,

2738
02:11:46,680 --> 02:11:49,600
Speaker 1: and I know the processes get better every week and

2739
02:11:50,120 --> 02:11:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, try to get better than you were last week.

2740
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:54,440
Speaker 1: But that's one of the most intriguing things about this

2741
02:11:54,520 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 1: As Greg go Sell said, you know who is the

2742
02:11:56,520 --> 02:11:58,600
Speaker 1: number you've mentioned it? What do the Patriots think of

2743
02:11:58,640 --> 02:12:00,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense? Who do they team? Do they worry

2744
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:03,120
Speaker 1: about John Brown? Do they worry about Josh Allen running?

2745
02:12:03,160 --> 02:12:04,920
Speaker 1: There are a lot of unanswered questions we'll have an

2746
02:12:04,920 --> 02:12:07,560
Speaker 1: answer to next week. Yeah, can the Bills do anything

2747
02:12:07,680 --> 02:12:10,280
Speaker 1: left handed? Can they beat you with their secondary personnel,

2748
02:12:10,280 --> 02:12:13,360
Speaker 1: their secondary targets? Can Josh Allen play mistake free enough?

2749
02:12:14,240 --> 02:12:16,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on in this game. And as

2750
02:12:16,520 --> 02:12:21,000
Speaker 1: for a signature win, there's no question for the public

2751
02:12:21,080 --> 02:12:24,120
Speaker 1: at large outside of this fan base, all of a sudden,

2752
02:12:24,160 --> 02:12:26,400
Speaker 1: the NFL would sit up and say, Wow, look they

2753
02:12:26,480 --> 02:12:28,880
Speaker 1: are doing it. It does work in Buffalo. That's stuff

2754
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:31,000
Speaker 1: they're talking about. That stuff. They're doing this stuff. We

2755
02:12:31,160 --> 02:12:34,560
Speaker 1: think we see them doing right. It is being done right,

2756
02:12:34,640 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 1: and it's taken hold and they are a tough team

2757
02:12:37,840 --> 02:12:41,080
Speaker 1: to beat. It's not just just one more taking one

2758
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:43,720
Speaker 1: more team taking a shot at at the Patriots. It's

2759
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:46,280
Speaker 1: it's something better than that. And I think if they

2760
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:49,360
Speaker 1: Duke are able to come out with a victory this Sunday,

2761
02:12:51,800 --> 02:12:54,560
Speaker 1: it's a statement win for everybody else, not for this team.

2762
02:12:54,600 --> 02:12:56,160
Speaker 1: This team is going to keep on rolling where they

2763
02:12:56,200 --> 02:12:57,840
Speaker 1: win or lose or draw. They're gonna keep up with

2764
02:12:57,880 --> 02:13:00,440
Speaker 1: their process because they believe in it. But foreverybody else,

2765
02:13:00,480 --> 02:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a paradigm shift in the feast and

2766
02:13:02,720 --> 02:13:04,400
Speaker 1: we'll see. We don't have any answers for you yet.

2767
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:06,080
Speaker 1: On the injury report, keep an eye out for that.

2768

2771
02:13:14,760 --> 02:13:17,920
Speaker 1: he was asked whether Singletary will play, mcdermot's response was,

2772
