Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's roster with four three a couple of games

Speaker 1: agoing against Tennessee, Jordan Phillips will join us, will get

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: his take on how he fell going against his former

19
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: team last Sunday and the rest of the year for

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: the Bill's talented defensive linemen. All of that coming up

21
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: on the show today, plus plenty of you, plenty of

22
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: your comments and thoughts. It's an interesting week for the Bill, Steve,

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: I would submit that, and I will put the Patriots

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: game at the top of the list. To me, this

25
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: is the second, by far, the second most interesting game

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: the Bills have played this year. Coming up this Sunday,

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: the Bills on the Philadelphia Eagles. Look Eagles three and four.

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: I see it, I know it. And they've lost a

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: couple in a row on the road at Minnesota, at Dallas.

30
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: They are a little bit dysfunctional now, but the remnants

31
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: of that Super Bowl champion team remain for Philadelphia. The

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff remains, the quarterback remains well, he's even you know,

33
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: they didn't win the Super Bowl with Carson Wentz, but

34
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: he's probably an upgrade over the guy they won the

35
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with. It's a tough game for Buffalo. I'm

36
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: glad it's home, but it's a tough game for Buffalo.

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: And if you listen, which we do, if you'll listen

38
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: to Sean McDermot, I think he is spot on with

39
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: the strength of that Philadelphia roster it is the front seven,

40
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: the guys up front, they're just outstanding. They've always been

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: a Vinny Curry fan since he came out of the draft. Derek,

42
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: I was doing my chart last night. This is one

43
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: got my attention doing my spotting board. It was like

44
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: four first rounders in the front seven in front eight

45
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles. They are good players up and

46
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: that's what the Bills are going after this Sunday. It's

47
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: gonna be talent. Yeah, And that's why. And what happens

48
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: when you say that's it's their first round is what

49
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: it means is and I say this all the time,

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: and for those of you listen to regularly, sorry, being

51
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: in the first round in the NFL draft means you're

52
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: special physically. It means they can measure that stuff. They

53
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: know you've got a top end physically. You're gonna you're

54
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: gonna be able to dominate certain matchups. You're gonna be

55
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: faster than a bunch of the guys at your position.

56
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna be stronger or bigger than the guys at

57
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: your position around the National Football League. You've got things

58
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: they can measure physically that they know you look great

59
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: in a football uniform basically is what they're saying. You're faster,

60
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: you're bigger, you're stronger, you're more athletic, YadA, YadA, YadA,

61
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: on and on. That's what being first rounders means, particularly

62
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. So that's what

63
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: you're looking at with this this Philly front seven. They

64
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys up there who when they

65
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: get off the bus, you're like going, oh wow, look

66
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: at those dudes. Right, I mean, it's like, we're gonna

67
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: play those guys. That's what it looks like. And that's

68
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: and that's and they're playing like that right now. They're

69
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: playing well. You know what I'll say, also have kind

70
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: of in a similar way that the Dolphins had it

71
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: last week. They have desperation. It makes a team very

72
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: dangerous look And I know most teams are motivated in

73
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: the NFL when they line up and hit the field

74
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but desperation I think adds a new element

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: to it. The Dolphins had it last week and almost

76
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: pulled it off. The Eagles come in with a much

77
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: more talented and accomplished roster, with a year and a

78
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: half removed from a Super Bowl championship and they are desperate, right,

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: they can still win the NFC East. They probably think, huh,

80
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: they're a game back at all to the Cowboy It

81
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: probably they're probably aiming towards that, Hey, we know who

82
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: we are. We're in the super Bowl a couple of

83
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: years ago. We're gonna win this division despite these last

84
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: two losses. They are a desperate and I think dangerous team.

85
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: And I think it's a really fascinating game. I really

86
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this game. Fascinating. I mean the

87
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: one is when you say fascinating to me, it's like, wow,

88
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: it's a tough game to win. Yeah, both teams, I

89
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: think think about you think this And I don't think

90
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: Philly fans believe it about Buffalo yet. I think they feel.

91
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean they look at the teams they beat in

92
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: the windless the windless Bengals, the windless Jets, the windless Giants,

93
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 1: the windless Dolphins. Uh, they got beat by the only

94
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: good team they faced, and the Patriots. Uh they beat

95
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, who you know, they're they've gotten worse

96
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: since they played Buffalo, so that that win has got

97
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: the shine marked off of it. So the Philadelphi Eagles

98
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: are coming in here thinking, you know, we're playing the

99
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: best of the bad teams in the NFL. Right now,

100
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: the Eagles have three wins, one of them one of

101
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: them against Washington, one of the lesser lights, maybe one

102
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the league. A win against

103
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: the Jets, who the Bills beat the Eagles, beating them

104
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: thirty one to six. And when the win that, I

105
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: got to look at it. I'll probably take a look

106
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: at it today. A win at Green Bay just three

107
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago, the end of September, which is that's a

108
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: good win. That's a good win. And they especially now

109
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers had his big game this last weekend.

110
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: But you look at the game they had and they win.

111
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: Who'd you say against the the Jets, Washington Jets. The

112
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: Jets they boot beat Luke fall who's the guy that

113
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: Luke Falk with the Jets quarterback. So they played the

114
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Jets without Sam Darnold. This was in the mono when

115
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold got Mono, I was in week two or three.

116
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: And you know, so that's the win they got over

117
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: the Jets, and that's why they lumped them up pretty good.

118
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: So Luke Falk had an epically bad game that day

119
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles. That defense, so they you know,

120
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: they've got everybody's got warts on their record except perhaps

121
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Buffalo a team. The only work

122
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: you could say about it is the quality of teams

123
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: that they've beaten. So we'll see phil But I still

124
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Murph. This is a game against the

125
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles that the Bills are gonna have to play

126
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: and play better than they did this last week in

127
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: their win against Miami. They're gonna have to play better

128
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: than they did maybe against Tennessee to win this game.

129
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play a stout a defensive games

130
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: they did against the Patriots. So you know, there's a

131
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: lot of hoops to jump through, a lot of boxes

132
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: to check before you think you're gonna play the Philadelphia

133
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: Eagles and win. Yep, We're gonna take you out to

134

00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: the National Football League since twenty seventeen, the year he

156
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: came into the league with fourteen second half takeaways. We

157
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: talked yesterday about how clutch, whether you'd like to have

158
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen remain clutch or be more consistent, or whichever

159
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: however you want to put it. Tredevious White's clutch when

160
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: in the second half of games where and then let's

161
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: face of the Bills are seemed to always be in

162
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: a tight game, even even three years ago on Sean

163
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: mcdermot's first year, they were in tight ball games. And

164
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: Tredevious White is clutch with fourteen takeaways in the last

165
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: three years in the second half of those games, that

166
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: to me qualifies as clutch and good for him. He's

167
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. The interceptions coming

168
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: in bunches for Turdevious. He had two takeaways, two interceptions

169
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: in the winner of Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago,

170
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: and then the fumble forced fumble in the interception, big

171
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: huge interception down with the one yard line. This past

172
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: Sunday tradevis White the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.

173
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: Sean mcm noted that today Sean McDermott, head coach of

174
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: the Bills, talking about it today when he met the media,

175
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: he said, Tredavius White playing at a very high level,

176
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: and um, he's happy to see that he's the AFC

177
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the week. He's playing at a high level. Um.

178
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's week to week, but he's he seems

179
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: to um continue to grow. And I think it's really

180
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: a result of his habits during the week, um, and

181
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: what he learned from from his first two seasons as well.

182
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: He's he's he's using that uh and applying that every week.

183
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: What is it about hissibility that is to make plays

184
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: that cuts the way he's done. It's that most of

185
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: the first time he's stunned that give league of the league,

186
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: or he's a fourteen turns in the second time. Yeah,

187
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: he's you know, he just um, he's in the moment.

188
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: He plays in the moment, and he applies what he

189
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: does in practice to the game on Sundays. And that's

190
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: that's a good skill. Good skill, good guy. Fun guy

191
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: McDermot talking about that today too tevious white good for him.

192
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: It's funny. We talked about him yesterday with Kyle Brandt

193
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: from NFL Network and the very next I said, we

194
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: got to raise this help us, got to raise this

195
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: guy's profile. And there he is. Very next day AFC

196
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Week, and I know Brand talked

197
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: about him on the network today. Look that White is

198
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: a proble. He's one of the top four or five

199
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: corners in the league. I know there are some good ones.

200
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: New England's got one of them, but I think Tredevious

201
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: White belongs in that conversation as one of the top corners,

202
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: and it certainly doesn't. I think he's been consistent over

203
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: the first three years of his career, and I think

204
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: that as much as anything, because we all do the

205
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: same thing. You see a guy play well and then okay,

206
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: say okay, must have been something going on. And then

207
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: he does it the next year and it's like, Okay, wow,

208
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: they might well they got a good defense around him

209
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: and stuff. And then the third year he does and

210
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like, Wow, this guy's really good,

211
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: you know. And that's the kind of the progression it's

212
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: been for Tradevious White. Certainly, a little bit of the

213
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: good feelings people are starting to have towards Tredevius comes

214
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: from the success the entire team's having, and certainly the defense.

215
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: But last year they were a top three defense as well,

216
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: and they're doing it again this year. Tray's a big,

217
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: big reason why. I mean, he's he closes down a

218
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: top guy on your on your squad, and that's hard

219
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: to contend with. As you know, you're trying to hit

220
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: on all cylinders to beat a good defense. And Tradavious

221
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: White out there on the one corner has really been

222
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: an asset for this team, and I think it's showing through.

223
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: And they're not only in their past defense and in

224
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: their turnovers with him in the second half, but also

225
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: in their total team defensive rankings. They're good. He's good. Um,

226
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna get out to get you out to practice

227
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: in the moment, Steve, you had your hockey game last night.

228
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: You had a good one. I actually watched much of

229
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the third period and the entire overtime. What a what

230
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: a good win. That was down two to nothing early, right,

231
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: so yeah they were down two any entire Well, okay,

232
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: this is how are they gonna They came back and

233
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: tied it in the second period two to two, went

234
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: up early early in the third period, scored that quick

235
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: go ahead gold in late that you know, the Sharks

236
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: tied up. We had all of the friends we had

237
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: in town for the weekend, they're all Sharks fans. I

238
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: had jerseys on him and they're all right. So and

239
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: let me tell you this though, this is the great

240
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: part about it. So the last time they were here,

241
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: they came also for a Sharks game. The Sharks got

242
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: out to a four one lead. This was last year,

243
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: two years ago, I can't remember what it was. The

244
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: Sabers came back and tied it up in the third

245
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: period and then one and in overtime. The same thing

246
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: happened last night. They went into overtime and of course

247
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: Jack Chole puts the game winner in on a scrum

248
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: in front of the net, and they win it again

249
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: in overtime, the Sas win it and overtime again win

250
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: win for us because if we win, you know, if

251
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: we win, you know, we win, right and if the

252
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: Sabers somehow lost that in overtime, well, and at least

253
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: we were good hosts, you know, because but what a

254
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: great hockey And that's two games in a row, home

255
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: and home with the Sharks that have been really good

256
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: hockey games. Of course they were good hockey games for

257
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: us and Buffalo because the Sabers won them both. But

258
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: all the way through all three periods both teams really

259
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: played some great hockey. And I was thinking about this too,

260
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: and you think about the and I don't want to

261
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: go overboard, but the transformation from what we saw last

262
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: year to this year, right, I mean, now if they're

263
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: eight one and one with a very similar roster, right,

264
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: I mean, there's five new guys on this roster and

265
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: they didn't transform it. It's not like nineteen new guys.

266
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: It's just you know, but the transformation. You gotta give

267
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: Ralph Krueger a lot of credit for what's happened and

268
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: all that. And it's not just him standing up at

269
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: the front of the room. Whatever he's communicated to him,

270
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: the people he's brought in around him, the message he's

271
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: given to this team. You know, it's taken hold. And

272
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: you give the players a lot of credit as well.

273
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they bought in, they got these new players,

274
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: and they're kind of coming together. And obviously this and

275
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: I was thinking today about what I see in Ralph Krueger,

276
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: and this is and I'm a you can take what

277
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: I know about hockey and put it into a shot

278
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: glass and you still have room for liquor, right, I mean,

279
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: because I don't know that much about hockey. But I

280
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: was looking at Ralph and what he's bringing us, so

281
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: what's the deal? And I looking at him, you know who,

282
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: he reminds me, And it didn't I hadn't thought about

283
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: this until this morning. He reminds me of Marv. He's

284
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: an older kind of has this older kind of presence. Right,

285
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: he's only sixty. Marv was sixty eight when he got

286
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: the job in Buffalo, but he has this older, mature

287
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: kind of thing. He's way older than his players, or

288
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: seems way older than his players. He's a really calm

289
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: communicator and highly intelligent. Um so there's all of that going.

290
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: He has a real plan. And also in the in

291
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: his message to us, and when I saw heard Marv

292
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: speak to us, and when I hear about what Ralph

293
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: says to his players, he can always tell he's for

294
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: the players. He wants them to be better, he wants

295
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: them to be good. He's not this confrontational you gotta

296
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: be better, you got to do this, it's your fault

297
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: we're losing, or it's you gotta be better, or we

298
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: would we win in more it's always like, hey, let's

299
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: get better. Here's what we need to do. Better. Here's

300
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: let's do. It's a real positive. He's for the players, right,

301
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: He's for them. He's for them personally, he's for them

302
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: professionally because he knows that's for the good of the team.

303
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: That's a lot of what I've got and remember about

304
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: Marv being you know, I just looked at Marv with

305
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: sixty one when he came here. Okay, they're the same age. Okay, well,

306
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: I guess that's right, Mark Krueger sixty I heard this morning.

307
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: You're comparing though, And I just offer this Hall of

308
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: fame caliber coach, Mark Levy, a Hall of fame coach

309
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: to a guy who's got ten NHL games under on

310
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: his Yeah, that's who he reminds. I gotta tell you

311
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: who he reminds me of. Just and I don't know

312
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: if they're going to have the kind of success we're

313
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: talking about with Marv, but that but also the thing

314
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: about Kruge that reminds me a little another similarity to

315
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: Marv was a Marv had this persona when he came

316
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. Certainly he had coached in the NFL with

317
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and the USFL and the CFL,

318
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: but he also had this thing about him where he's

319
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: a Harvard grad and he was an English literature major, right,

320
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: So he had this kind of bigger possona that went

321
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: outside of the sport, right, and Krug coming over from

322
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm on a first name that were like this. So

323
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: he comes over from football and you're he was running

324
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: a soccer team, right, So he has this wider range

325
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: of experience that gives him. I don't know what it

326
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: gives him, what credibility or a wider experienced, a field

327
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: of experience, whatever it is. It's kind of the same

328
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: thing that I saw with Marv. So he kind of

329
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: gets this different sense of credibility with what the message

330
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: he's bringing with something that may work that it's not

331
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: just the same old thing, it's something outside of the

332
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: sport that's been brought in. Gruger is sixty just turned

333
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: to sixty in August, and yeah, and Marv quit when

334
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: he was seventy, so he was here eleven years. So yeah,

335
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: it would have been sixty one sixty seventy one when

336
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: he quit. Yeah, I hear you, you know what I mean.

337
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know if because listen, it wasn't a

338
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: transformative thing when Marv showed up. I mean, they got

339
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: a little better, but they still they played one eighth

340
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: of their season. There's a long way to go. Yeah,

341
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean I but I came in. I busted in

342
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: on the on the Instigators during one of their breaks today.

343
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: I got, okay, there's only one question about the saves

344
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: for me. Now, I'm like, how good are Yeah? How good?

345
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: How good are they? I mean, what am I looking at? Here?

346
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Are they? They? Are they this good? I'm like, what real?

347
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: Because I don't know, Like I told you, I don't

348
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: know anything. I'm just watching. I'm like, going, how good

349
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: are they? Because they just got there? They got punched

350
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: in the mouth by a team they just beat barely,

351
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: and they came back and won that game and overtime.

352
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: I got, how good are they? That's the only thing

353
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: I want to know? What am I looking at? Here?

354
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: Am I gonna have to, you know, start setting aside

355
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: of playoff money so I can buy tickets that you

356
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: won't let me buy? Yeah, probably right, because I gotta

357
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: buy him all myself for me, think about it. That's

358
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: really the only thing. And I know him in some

359
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: games and you and I were just talking, what's it

360
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: gonna be? Like when they go through it they're eight

361
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,720

364
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be like during that stretch? How's this

365
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna work out? How are they gonna be or maybe

366
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: there won't be I don't know, but that's that's the ted.

367
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: The game last night was. It was a great, big crowd,

368
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. You know what I didn't do.

369
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I did not go to the Fried Bologney place. After

370
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,160

371
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: a chance to go to the Friedlogny. I got one

372
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: more old coach to talk about. And he's a friend

373
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: of mine and he's sixty six years old and he's

383
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: final four, Yeah, this is for him. You gotta think,

384
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: you gotta think that this could be you know, you

385
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: never say everybody, it could be his last coaching style,

386
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: think right, and depending on what kind of success he has. Yeah,

387
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited for good for him. Yeah, look forward to

388
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: watching it tonight. It's pretty cool. Yeah, and it's great

389
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: to see a really successful college coach take that step

390
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: to the next set. Because it's different group, different guys,

391
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: different games, different different game, different strategy. Also different demographic.

392
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: In your locker room, you've got guys who are millionaires. Yeah,

393
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: every lot of every one of them a business, you know,

394
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: and and they got their own agendas. So you gotta like,

395
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, knit that together as Yeah, good for him,

396
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: good luck. Yeah, you and I we're gonna yeah, we're

397
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: going to Cleveland. We gotta go to creaking through the seas.

398
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: We'll do it. Yeah. We got a good show. As

399
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: we said, we got a good I think a good

400
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: Twitter pole. Look, the NFL trade deadline now is six

401
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: days away. The NFL, the trade deadline has been more

402
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: active in recent years. That's a good thing. I think

403
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: it adds some interest. It's not like the baseball trade deadline.

404
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: It's not like the hockey trade deadline where there's you know,

405
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: wal to wall coverage on trade deadline day. It's not

406
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: like really the NBA trade deadline. But it's a little

407
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: more active today. The Bills have been a little more

408
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: active on the trade market with Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott,

409
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: and I know there's sentiment out there and people say

410
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: make a deal. Let's go. They gotta make a deal.

411
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: Six days left. What are they gonna do? Receivers are

412
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: moving around the league, safety is moving on the league.

413
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: What do they need? What should they do? So that's

414
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today. The NFL trade deadline now less

415
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: than a week away, six days away. In your opinion,

416
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: we're only looking for your opinion here. How badly do

417
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: the Bills need to make a trade. How badly do

418
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: they need to make a trade? Call us up, let

419
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: us know eight oh three oh five fifty outside Buffalo.

420
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: It's a toll free call one eight eight eight five

421
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Send it a tweet. We can

422
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: read them on the tweet sheet. You got a couple

423
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: of lined up here. Or vote in the Twitter poll

424
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: how badly did the Bills need to make a trade

425
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: right now? We're just under way five hundred votes and

426
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll, seventy seven percent of you say,

427
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: make a trade. Only if it's a deal you cannot

428
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: pass up. That makes a lot of sense. Nineteen percent

429
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: of you say badly they need to make a trade.

430
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: This is our year. Five percent say not at all.

431
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: We're five and one. Relax, Look, I'll listen to it.

432
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: I would be I would vote with a majority there. Yeah,

433
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: somebody comes to you with a ridiculous offer, not likely

434
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: to happen. Somebody says, how'd you like this guy? And

435
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: you're thinking, I know this guy. I like this guy.

436
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: He can help us. You'll make that deal. Like three

437
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: quarters of our respondents say, but not at all, we're

438
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: five and one. Don't bother. Only five percent believe that.

439
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: Nineteen percent badly make a trade. We really need one

440
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: because this is our year. And that's an argument I

441
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: keep hearing, Steve. Look, look, it's a great start to

442
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: the season. I've heard people argue that they owe it

443
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: to the people in the locker room, the players in

444
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: the locker room, to make a trade, letting them know

445
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: that it's important. I don't know, what do you think, No,

446
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: I there's you look at it both ways, no question,

447
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: there's a there's a sentiment out there where the players,

448
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: you know. But when you look around the players, it's

449
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: hard to sell that to the players knowing that they

450
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: trade for a guy and your best buddy over here,

451
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: sitting in the locker next to you is gone because

452
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: now they don't have a roster spot for him. That's

453
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: kind of hard to sell to some guys. But uh,

454
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: there is. It's part of what they've put in place here. Listen,

455
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: you earn your way on and off the field. We've

456
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: seen guys get benched and put in the you know,

457
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 1: and all of this. You know, you do. Duke Williams

458
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: is on the field for a reason. They need some

459
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: more production out there, you got, So there's that mindset.

460
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: They know that it could happen, no question about it.

461
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: But I also think you got a guy like Sean

462
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: McDermot who stood up in the front of the room

463
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: this morning and said, Hey, I like the guys like

464
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: we got and he does. But let's face it, most

465
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: fans would say, listen, if we're gonna beat the Patriots,

466
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: we need one more guy at least on off. We

467
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: need that wide receiver on office, We need this weapon.

468
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: We gotta get into this in depth, and we gotta

469
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: get the brownie in practice. But my position is, I

470
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a guy that makes that different

471
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: that you get in late October in the trade deadline.

472
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: Who makes it? I'll tell you though, who I told

473
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: you this last year? I was doing the the Carolina

474
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati game. Carolina was Cincinnati was gonna win that

475
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: game until Aj Green went out of the game with

476
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: a pulled muscle, and all of a sudden, Carolina stole

477
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: that game from And I'm telling you what, it was

478
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: a palpable difference in Cincinnati's ability to move the ball

479
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: when Aj came out of that. He's a great player.

480
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: He's a great player. Needs a contract next year, and

481
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: you're giving up at least one first round again. See,

482
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm not up for that. I'm I'm sorry. We'll talk

483
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: more about this. Do the Bills how badly do the

484
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Bills need to make a trade? What do you think

485
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: give us a call. We'll have time to talk about it.

486
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk with Chris Brown standing on the sidelines

487
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: at Bill's practice and we return. Come on back. Shows

488
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: gets just getting started. We got a lot of room

489
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: to cover here. Come on back. One Bill's Live presented

490
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: by Kalidah Health Live from the Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts

491
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: in Casino. Nothing comes close. Come on back. We're going

492
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: to practice next. One Bill's Live or coming to you

493
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: from Orchard Park right where the Bills work. We're inside

494
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: the front end of the End Pro Sports Training Center

495
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: in the Seneca Studio. Outside one to three sets of

496
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: doors is Bill's practice. They just started about ten to

497
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes ago, and our man, Chris Brown, Bills insider

498
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: from Buffalo Bills dot Com, is standing by in the

499
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: sidelines at practice. Hello Brownie. It seems a little blustery

500
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: out there, a little blowy. Huh uh. It is windy, yeah,

501
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: about thirty to thirty five mile per hour gusts not sustained,

502
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: but kind of ebbing and flowing out here a little bit.

503
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: So there'll certainly be a challenge for the quarterbacks today

504
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, and getting reads on the football

505
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: for the receiving targets for sure. The weather forecast for

506
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: Sunday is supposed to be rain and fifty seven. I

507
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: don't see anything in there for winds, so I know

508
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: that this will necessarily be any beneficial prep for the weekend. Gotcha,

509
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about prep for the weekend and where the

510
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: Bills stand as far as some of they're injured. Matt

511
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Milano got hurt what two games ago, three weeks ago

512
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: and they win at Tennessee and he is McDermot said

513
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: he'd be limited today with his hamstring. What do you

514
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: see out there from Matt Milano? Yeah, I mean he's

515
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: moving around here during the individual position drills. He was

516
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: moving well last week too. He wasn't really holding back

517
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: at least from what I could observe. But again, as

518
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: we know, this is an organization and an athletic training

519
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: staff and a medical staff that airs on the side

520
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: of caution with soft tissue injuries. We saw Devin Singletary

521
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: and Tarren Johnson sit out for the better part of

522
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: a month, and it wouldn't surprise me if both of

523
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: those players were good enough to play in that Week

524
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: five game against Tennessee. They waited an extra week, and

525
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: coach McDermott did admit to me coming off of that

526
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: game against Tennessee that knowing the bye week was sitting

527
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: there the very next week did factor into their thinking

528
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: in sitting Devin Singletary and Tarren Johnson for that game

529
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: against Tennessee and waiting until week seven this past week

530
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: before they started to integrate them back into the lineup.

531
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: So we're only, as you mentioned, a few weeks removed

532
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: from the time that Milano sustained that injury. It will

533
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: be three weeks on Sunday. He may come all the

534
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: way through the week. If he's limited all week, I

535
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: really don't see him playing on Sunday. And if you remember,

536
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary was a full participant the Friday before the

537
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee game coming off his hamstring injury, and he still

538
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: did not play. So I don't know if we can

539
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: count on Milano being in the lineup this week. We'll

540
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: have to see other rest of the week pans out.

541
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: But knowing how they have operated to this point, I

542
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: think it's fifty fifty at best. I think the guy

543
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: that's got a better chance is Corey Thompson coming off

544
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: the ankle scope and if he is up and available

545
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: to play, I would expect him to start for Milano

546
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: rather than Maurice Alexander, who we saw last week. With

547
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: both Hobson and Milano out of the lineup, I was

548
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: gonna what I was gonna ask you next Brownie. If

549
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: Milano is out and Corey Thompson is available or if

550
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: he's not available, the Philadelphia Eagles have got some pretty

551
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: good tight ends that that you know. A lot of

552
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: Bills fans watched a defense without Matt Milano struggled to

553
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: be the kind of defense we'd expected this season. How

554
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: are they going to change? And maybe with an extra

555
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: week and seeing how their team played, they'll have a

556
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: different plan entirely about how to deploy their linebackers without

557
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: Matt Milano in what do you think about what the

558
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: how the defense will change given how they played last week? Well,

559
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: I think Thompson offers them more versatility at the linebacker position,

560
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: then Alexander. Miami had a good offensive scheme last week.

561
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: They made a point of keeping Buffalo's based personnel out

562
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: on the field by using their fullback and a lot

563
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: of their early personnel groupings. They wanted to take advantage

564
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: of a player who was inexperienced in this defense with

565
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: the ten other players in more Reice Alexander, and they

566
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: accomplish that by keeping Buffalo's bass personnel on the field.

567
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: What Thompson offers is better versatility at the linebacker position.

568
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: He has the athleticism to be a three down linebacker.

569
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: He's a better coverage player, and he's a better runner.

570
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: He's just simply faster and more athletic than more Reice Alexander.

571
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: And if you remember, you go back to the summer,

572
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: Corey Thompson had a really strong training camp, made big

573
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: strides with his game, knows this defense well now that

574
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: he's in his second year in it, and so I

575
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: think he would be the guy that gets the call

576
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: if Matt Malano doesn't play. On Sunday, Chris Brown joins

577
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: us from the sidelines of Bill's practice or outside on

578
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: the windy Grass practice field practice Field number one outside

579
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: the end Pro Sports Training Center. Chris, I was really,

580
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: really happy, And I don't usually care too much about

581
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: the AFC defensive offensive Players of the Weeks, but man

582
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: Tredavious White earned that honor this week. The AFC Defensive

583
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: Player of the week, and I'm sure his teammates and

584
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: you could tell Sean McDermot feel pretty good that he

585
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: was honored that way by the entire league today. Yeah,

586
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the spark that turned the game around.

587
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean I even asked coach McDermott that after the game.

588
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: I said, was Trudavious White the spark you needed to

589
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,479
Speaker 1: win this game? And he pretty much agreed that yes

590
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: he was. And even Josh Allen after the game said,

591
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, Trudevius with his play gave us some juice

592
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: on offense and that was evident because they drove ninety

593
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: eight yards down the field and stuck it in the

594
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 1: end zone. And so you look at that, and then

595
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: you look at his force fumble at the end of

596
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: the game. He turned the game around. And there's a

597
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: stat out there, and I hope I get this right,

598
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: but I believe twelve of Trudavius's career turnovers have come

599
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: in the second half of football games. I mean, he

600
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: doesn't just make turnover type plays, big type plays. He

601
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: makes them in big time situations. I mean, he had

602
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: two takeaways in the Cincinnati game that helped seal the

603
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: game against the Bengals. In Week three. You can go

604
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: back to the Kansas City game. The interception he had

605
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter to seal that game, which was

606
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: a one score game at the time, is in his

607
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: rookie season. The Tampa Bay game here in Buffalo his

608
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: rookie season, where he punches the ball out of Adam

609
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: Humphrey's hands, they get a recovery, they kick a game

610
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: winning field goal to win the game. So he does.

611
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: He not only makes big plays, he makes them in

612
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: big moments. One of the things about Tredavius's performance last

613
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: week was the fact that he didn't get targeted very

614
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: much because the team, the Miami Dolphins, were going right

615
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: at Levi Wallace. They were putting big time, physical receivers

616
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: on Wallace. And how do you expect the defense to

617
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,239
Speaker 1: evolve given the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles have got

618
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: all Shan Jefferies and they may do the exact same thing, right.

619
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: I think where Levi struggles is in press man That's

620
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: where he has problems. In zone coverage calls, he's outstanding,

621
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: but when they go to a man call, and they

622
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: had to do that a little bit more or less week,

623
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: they relied on their corners a little bit more than

624
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: they usually do. Levi had a little bit of trouble

625
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: in getting good jams on the guys at the line

626
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and they want a couple of times off

627
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: of good release technique. So it's going to be interesting

628
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: to see how Leslie Frazier calls the game this week,

629
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: knowing the size and stature of the receiving targets that

630
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Philadelphia can put on the field, chief among them al

631
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: Shan Jeffrey. As you mentioned, it's also gonna be a

632
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: challenge for Buffalo safeties this week, not only because of

633
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz, who's the leading receiver on the Eagles squad

634
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: the tight end, but his counterpart at tight end, Dallas Goddard,

635
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: who goes six five six six and has made plays

636
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: down the scene for them. So there are some size

637
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: mismatches that Philadelphia throws at opposing secondaries that really present problems.

638
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: Whether you're covering them in man or you have good

639
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: coverage on them or not. They simply outreach you for

640
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: the football. Chris Brown keeping an eye on practice for us.

641
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: He's outside on the grass practice field. I want to

642
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: ask you about the Buffalo offense, Chris and the three

643
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: of us spent a lot of time before the Dolphin

644
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: game talking about, you know, kind of the new additions

645
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: to the offense and some guys who may have a

646
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: role to play. And I'd love to see Duke Williams

647
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: jump into a more prominent role on the offense. But

648
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: limited today, I guess, right with his shoulder, who knows

649
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: if he'll be ready to play on Sunday. Yeah, he's

650
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: got a red non contact jersey out here, as does

651
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson, who's coming off the stinger that he suffered

652
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: in last Sunday's game. And John Brown is not out

653
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: on the field today, so you know, we know he

654
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: was dealing with a groin injury last week. Played almost

655
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the snaps last week. But perhaps

656
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: there's some residual soreness there and maybe he gets the

657
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: day off today for that and hopefully he's back out

658
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: here tomorrow. But yeah, he's not out here either. Kurt

659
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: Coleman is another veteran player getting a veteran rest day.

660
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: He left the game for a period last week, so

661
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's injury related or a veteran

662
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: rest day situation. And then Pat DeMarco and Lorenzo, Alexander, Tie,

663
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: and Secy all getting veteran rest days as has been

664
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: customary for those guys. So yeah, some some nicked up guys.

665
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: And John Brown obviously the biggest name on that list,

666
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: knowing his importance to Buffalo's offense. Yeah, right, that's exactly right. Also,

667
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a little bit about what

668
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: were you surprised at Devin Singletary's role in the offense

669
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. He was on the field for twenty

670
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: two of the fifty six snaps. Uh, didn't get that

671
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: many opportunities to touch the ball? Um, what do you

672
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: make of that? I see that as in, you know,

673
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: reacclimating him to the speed of the game, the reads

674
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: that he has to make. But I remember, guys, I

675
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: mean he he played a one and three quarters games

676
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: of NFL football in his life and then he missed

677
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: four weeks. Um, I think they were a little reluctant

678
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: to just throw him back in the fire and give

679
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: him fifteen to twenty carries. I just think that was

680
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: an unrealistic expectation. Knowing how methodically this coaching staff operates

681
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: in developing players, in immersing players in certain responsibilities in games,

682
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: and so I think the plan was, let's ease Devin

683
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: Singletary back into the fold here, remembering that he is

684
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: a rookie with limited experience, and see how he does.

685
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: And I thought he did okay last week. He did

686
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: good in adjusting to some of the changes at the

687
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. The one that comes to mind is

688
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: the past that went to Duke Williams as he ran

689
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: a pattern on a crosser right to left. Josh changed

690
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: the protection and that put Devin Singletary in a situation

691
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: where off of play action fake, he had to pick

692
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: up a blitzing slot corner and he did a good

693
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: job of that and the play went for a first

694
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: down to Duke Williams on an over the shoulder throw.

695
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: So I think he availed himself well despite the layoff,

696
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: and so I anticipate he will get more work this

697
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: week than he did last weeks. Kind of running short

698
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: on time. But I do want to ask you about

699
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: one I think intriguing matchup this game, and it's Buffalo's

700
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: developing young quarterback Josh Allen now will be his eighteenth

701
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: start going against Jim Schwartz. Schwartz is not you know,

702
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: the Belichick group there, but he's got a plan. He'll

703
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: know what to do with a young quarterback like Josh

704
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: Allen won'ty. Yeah, and you know we've we're gonna see

705
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: that wide nine technique that we remember from when he

706
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: was here with Buffalo, and uh, you know it's gonna

707
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna alter the spacing up front. It's gonna put

708
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: the tackles out on islands a little bit more. And

709
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: that has me a little bit concerned for Cody Ford,

710
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: knowing that he struggled in sometimes oversetting to account for

711
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: pass rushers taking a wide run at quarterbacks around the

712
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: pocket and sometimes he'll oversett and get beat inside. So

713
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see how they set up

714
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: the protections this week. Knowing the scheme that Philadelphia employs,

715
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: and it's a great defensive line, it absolutely is, but

716
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: they are nicked up to high heaven on that side

717
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia. They're they're banged up in a number of positions,

718
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: including corner where they're gonna probably have to reinsert Sidney

719
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: Jones as the nickel. And if you if you talk

720
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia fans and listen to Philadelphia Sports Radio, they

721
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: loathe the former first round pick. So they're banged up

722
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: at defensive tackle as well, and they're not gonna have

723
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: Tim jernikin. They already lost Malik Jackson, who's on IR

724
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: They picked up a couple of guys off waivers that

725
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: they have just as depth at defensive tackle. So hopefully

726
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: the thin numbers for Philadelphia's defensive line makes them a

727
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: little bit less effective than they're known to be. Hey, Chris,

728
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: thanks for this. Will check me there at practice again tomorrow.

729

746
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: a good afternoon, mister Murphy and mister Tasker, good afternoon.

747
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't need one of those veteran days off. From

748
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: the side of it, he's had one for two weeks.

749
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: Point by you, Mark, Yeah, thanks for calling. Goodbye. Now

750
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm teasing. Go ahead, Mark. They really do they really

751
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: have to make a trade. I mean, what are you

752
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna get. You're gonna have to give up really like

753
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: a first round pick for something really good. I mean,

754
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: if you can get an unbelievable trade, yeah, But if not,

755
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: I think you stay where you're at for two reasons. One,

756
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: you don't want to give up those big assets. And

757
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: number two, they still believe in all those guys in

758
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: the room and on the practice squad. So now if

759
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 1: you bring somebody in that bumps one of those players out.

760
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: So I'd stay where they're at and roll the dice

761
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: and go where they're at linebacker if they deem missing.

762
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: Matt mlnod that much was the big reason. I'll hang

763
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: up and listen, guys. I hear you, Mark, and I

764
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: kind of agree you all. And here's the thing. There's

765
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: three choices on our Twitter poll how badly do the

766
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: Bills need to make a trade? The second choice be

767
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: it is this only if it's a deal you can't

768
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: pass up. That applies to every moment, twelve months a year,

769
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days a year. They're always

770
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: gonna never pass up a deal they can't pass up, right, Yeah, right,

771
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: So that goes That means keep on keeping on my point,

772
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of right there. You're always in that mode.

773
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: You're willing to make a deal that you can't pass up,

774
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: but not at all. You're five and one. I'm kind

775
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: of there with you. It hasn't been perfect. We've got

776
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: ups and downs, but we also have a very young team,

777
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: and we also have an offense who I think we

778
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: all agree. You know, you got the top one of

779
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: the top two three defenses in the National Football League,

780
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: so you know who wants to tinker with that? So

781
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: you look at the other side of the ball, the offense. Okay,

782
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: well we got nine new starters. Let's you know, let's

783
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: give it a chance. And it's and we all expect

784
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: the things they did well last year, where nine of

785
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: the guys are not good enough to play on this team.

786
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: The things they were that only thing they were able

787
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: to do well last year, the long ball is the

788
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: one thing that kind of we're missing out of the

789
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: mixed here this year. Well, you know, that's a good

790
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: trade to me. Nine new starters that are virtually every well,

791
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: every single one of them is an upgrade like that.

792
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 1: It's not it's not as if they've been standing pat

793
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 1: as Steve said, nine new starters on offense. And it's

794
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: also not as if they've had a lot of time

795
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: together six games, you know, just getting together. Offensive line

796
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: never got together in preseason, you know, or the or

797
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: the training camp. Sean McDermott was asked this question today,

798
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: which kind of put it at the front of our agenda.

799
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: What do you think, coach McDermott, do the Buffalo Bills

800
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: need to make a trade. You need to show your

801
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,959
Speaker 1: players in the locker room that you're ready to strike

802
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: this year by making a trade. Here's what the head

803
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: coach said. I think they know where we stand, and

804
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: so I'm extremely confident the guys we have that pretty much.

805
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that ends it, but it kind of

806
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: lets you know where they're thinking. He ended it right there,

807
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: he likes, but that doesn't mean. Look, we know these

808
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: guys are and we were talking before him and down

809
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: the air. If it weren't for that, the trade deadline

810
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: activity that Bean and McDermot had two years ago and

811
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: the subsequent trade activity around the draft, for instance, you

812
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: might say, well, that's they're not making a trade, but

813
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: you don't know, these guys are pretty aggressive when it

814
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: comes to restocking person. I think that's why he kept

815
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: it too short answer. He goes, hey, I just like

816
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: the guys. I like the guys we've got right now.

817
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: That to me, ending it right there doesn't mean they're

818
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: not interested in making a trade. And I know brand

819
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean is one of these general managers. We're kind

820
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: of getting the sense of this when things come out,

821
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: like in the off season, they make the phone calls,

822
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: they're asking about what these guys are are out there for.

823
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: How can we get this guy? And I tell you

824
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: this too. And I said this before, and I don't

825
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: say it very often, but this is what I believe.

826
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: I think Brandon bean And and Dan Morgan, and you know,

827
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: all these guys, Dave Shane, Joe Shane and all the

828
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: guys Malik Jackson. I think they're calling teams about guys

829
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: who are not even on our radar. Oh sure, you

830
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They're talking to teams about their

831
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: second wide receiver, their third wide receiver out and you

832
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: know what or whatever, whatever team you want to pick.

833
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: They're asking about guys like that because they know about

834
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: They watched him on film, They've studied these guys. So

835
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: I think those are the kind of guys that the

836
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: Bills are asking out. Certainly, they've asked about the top

837
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: flight guys like the Julio Joneses and the AJ Greens.

838
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: I read a tweet today there's a rumbling out there

839
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: that the Cincinnati Bengals know that AJ Green is not

840
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: going to be back, and they're kind of extra holding

841
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: him out from his foot injury in the preseason to

842
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: make sure that he's healthy so they can get the

843
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: best deal for him in return. Cincinnati is notoriously hard

844
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: to deal with and they do not negotiate. They have

845
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: a price and you're gonna meet it, or they're not

846
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: gonna deal with a guy. We'll see if that happens.

847
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: But I think for sure the Bills have called about

848
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: all those top flight guys that we all know their names.

849
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: But I also know they're probably asking about guys whose

850
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: names we don't know. That's how much faith I haven't

851
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: and much knowledge I have about how they do things

852
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: here in the building these days. I don't know if

853
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: it's always been that way, but I certainly believe that's

854
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: the way it is now. So if there's a deal

855
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: out there to be had, the Bills are gonna take

856
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: have it, and that's it. It's gonna be the right deal,

857
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: or it's not gonna happen. Take your call here from

858
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: Joe in Town. I wanted to Joe, what do you

859
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: think do the Bills need to make a deal before

860
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: the deadline next Tuesday? Yeah, well, I just I just

861
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: agree with everything that was just said. What I want.

862
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: I want a j Green now because injuries are so possible.

863
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: Look what just happens to Brown and Williams. I don't

864
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: care what it takes if we get Green now and

865
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: still loves to New England. At least we know we

866
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: tried our best rather than not know and wonder what

867
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: if Green is injured and as yet to play. He

868
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: is injured, when is he ready to play? I don't know. Okay,

869
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm really in a red hot panic to trade for

870
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: a guy who was yet to take a snap this year.

871
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: And also Joe and I hope Joe still Let Joe,

872
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: you're still there, Joe's not. Then cut him? He cut

873
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: him so far? Yeah, here's the thing. He's thirty one,

874
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: He's in the last year of his contract. Now, the

875
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: Bills do have some cap space, no question about it.

876
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: But here's the only problem I see with aj Green.

877
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: He I think he's the right kind of guy from

878
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: what I my dealings with him. He's he's a stand up,

879
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: good teammate, hard worker, all of the things you want

880
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: in the DNA that Sean mcdermot's working for. At least

881
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: that's what I know about him. They may have more

882
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: information than me, but that's given. Being that that is

883
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: a given in this scenario. The only thing that worries

884
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: you about him is he's thirty one, and he's injury prone.

885
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: He's he's has trouble these days staying healthy. But I'll

886
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: tell you what, no question. When he's healthy, he's the

887
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: best receiver on any team he's on. He's the best

888
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: receiver when he's healthy. He is unstoppable. So yeah, he's

889
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: a guy you'd love to have. But I don't know

890
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: that I'm willing to trade a player of the caliber

891
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen or Tremaine Edmonds or or Ed Oliver

892
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 1: or any other first round pick you can name, tradevious White.

893
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm ready to trade one of

894
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: those guys up for him at this point in his career,

895
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: because that's what you're giving at at first round draft.

896
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: To take one more call, here's Tom on the west side.

897
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: Hello Tom, you're on the air afternoon, guys, Steve, thanks

898
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: for clearing that up, because AJ Green is always getting

899
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: hurt and that's what scares me about him, and I

900
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't but the fire on him. But anyway, I don't

901
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: think that the Bills need to trade because they almost

902
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: beat New England the first time except for Alan getting injured,

903
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: and Berkeley almost won the game. If they could just

904
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: stop the penalties, then they're beating themselves and I hear

905
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Brant calling the Bills out needing one more offensive weapon,

906
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: But we're right there with them. We could play toe

907
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: to toe with New England right now. And Steve, don't

908
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: get too high on the Sabers because they did this

909
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: to us last remember that. Yeah, I'll tell you this though, Tom,

910
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: You're right, the penalties are a problem. You got to

911
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: fix those. But here's the thing too, And I'll say

912
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: this about the Patriots. I don't believe aside from the

913
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,959
Speaker 1: quarterback and whoever you line up there at that spot,

914
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: but at this point of forty two, maybe not. Talent

915
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: has never been the issue beating the Patriots. It's execution

916
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: and it's mistakes. The Patriots don't beat themselves, and you

917
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: have to, and you have to do it without making

918
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: it hard on yourself. You can't take a bad penalty.

919
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: You can't take a bad sack, you can't take a

920
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: you know, pre snap penalty, you can't take a bad

921
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: time out, you can't take a bad challenge, you can't

922
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: you know, miss step on punt protection to give up

923
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown. You can't do any of that stuff and

924
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots the talent level. I like our team better.

925
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, they execute and technique you to death.

926
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: They are prepared and their coaching staff doesn't miss a beat.

927
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: It's like I went on that tirade yesterday, not tirade,

928
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: more of a monologue yesterday about what the Patriots do.

929
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 1: They grow everything from within. Their assistants, their coordinators, everything

930
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: comes from inside the building. Their scouts, their quality control people,

931
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: their analytics people are all grown in house. They rarely

932
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: bring a guy from outside unless he's been there before.

933
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: They have a way of doing things, and they are

934
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: all on the same page, pull in the same direction,

935
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: and they have They have a way to get their

936
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: players to play mistake free better than any team in

937
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: the league. It's not the talent that beats you. It's

938
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: their preparation and their execution that beats you. So I'm

939
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: not aj Green. Isn't the ingredient to beat the Patriots.

940
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: It's preparation and your own guys that'll do it. Hey, Well,

995
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: You watched no World Series last night? Did you're watching

996
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: Hockey years? I forgot it was on. Okay, I did

997
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: reach time. In fact, I should have printed it out

998
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: and brought it into television. And I don't know why

999
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: that you're just gonna pile on here. Television ratings are

1000
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: down slightly this year for Major League Baseball. A lot

1001
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: of reasons for that. It's not you know, it's a

1002
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: good article though. I forget where I read it. Major

1003
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: League Baseball is not a great national network sports. It's

1004
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: become more of a regional like, Hey, the Nats are

1005
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: on here in Washington. Everybody in Washington follows and watches

1006
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: the NAT. Same thing in New York, same thing in Detroit, Cleveland,

1007
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,240
Speaker 1: you know what I get it. Kind of a different

1008
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: appeal on TV for people. I get it. Yeah, And

1009
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: it's ratings for whatever. We equate that too. Maybe some

1010
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 1: things we shouldn't. But there's always gonna be some people

1011
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: who watch any live sporting event on TV. There's always

1012
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody, particularly if you live in that region.

1013
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: You you kind of gotta watch, like you know, Sabers,

1014
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta watch them, you have to. All Right,

1015
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the Buffalo Bills in the NFL

1016
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: with our next guest. He joins us every Wednesday at

1017
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: this time. NFL Inside There on ESPN and the host

1018
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Focused Football podcast. Happy to have Field

1019
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: Yates on the line. Hello, Field, John Murphy, team taker

1020
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: Upper in Buffalo. How you doing today? Hey, guys, I'm

1021
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: doing well. I guess you don't want any of my

1022
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: Sabers takes. There is that one. I'm supposed to read

1023
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: into your recent comments like I mean, I can, I can,

1024
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: I can unload the the can of the Sabers takes.

1025
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: But if not, I'll take the Bills. You'll go to

1026
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: it with Steve here. Steve is the ultimate Savers fan. Well,

1027
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: not ultimate, but certainly I'm very interesting. I got to

1028
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: ask you about our football team, though. What do you

1029
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: think is the Buffalo Bills that good? Are they five

1030
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: and one good? Or there is their schedule soft? Is

1031
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: the league just set up that way as the conference bad?

1032
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: What are your what's your take on the Bills being

1033
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: five and one? Well, one thing that I'm starting to

1034
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: get a little bit annoyed with from fans around the

1035
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: NFL is that they're talking about how a team's success

1036
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: is sort of asterisk because they haven't played anybody. It's like,

1037
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of bad teams in the

1038
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: NFL right now, Like everybody is going to have their

1039
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: chunk of games against inferior opponents. Are the Bills perfect? No?

1040
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: Do they have some areas that I think put a

1041
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: limit on maybe what their outlook is for this year? Yes,

1042
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: but they're five and one. I think you know, I

1043
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: hate to use the word locks because I don't want

1044
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: to set up expectations, but I view them as a

1045
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: near lock for the playoffs this year, and I think

1046
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: the defense is already championship caliber. So I think as

1047
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: much as people may want to say, who have they played,

1048
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: and you know they barely squeak by the Dolphins last week,

1049
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: you play the teams that are on your schedule, and

1050
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I will take an

1051
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: ugly win over a pretty loss or a moral victory

1052
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: a thousand times out of a thousand in the game

1053
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: of football. They feel that perception of even among themselves,

1054
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: of where the Bills are, how good they are, plus

1055
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: what's going on around the AFC. I asked us asking

1056
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: this question in our Twitter poll today. Trade deadline six

1057
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: days away, should the Bills be active to the Bills

1058
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: in essence need to make a trade, and if so,

1059
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: how badly they don't need to? But I think they're

1060
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: one of the few teams in the NFL that is

1061
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: right there in terms of being a legitimate playoff contender

1062
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: this year who has the flexibility to kind of make

1063
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: any kind of move. I was listening to Adam Schefter's

1064
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: podcast earlier on today, he spoke with both less Need

1065
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: the Rams GM and Scott Pioli, a long time football executive.

1066
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: I hope they both made really unique points. Last was

1067
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: talking about just the recognition of where you are in

1068
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: your franchise's growth, right. You know, are we a building team?

1069
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: Are we rebuilding team? Are we a team that's contending?

1070
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: And you know his estimation contending means you have a

1071
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: chance to win the division because once you make the playoffs,

1072
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: anything can happen. It's only a twelve team tournament. And

1073
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: then Scott Pioli made the remark that you know, all

1074
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: players are not trade are trainable, but not all contracts

1075
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: are trainable. The Bills are in a position where they've

1076
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: got so much cap space available, and then that thing's endless.

1077
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,439
Speaker 1: No team has endless cap space, but they've got enough

1078
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: cap space available, but they can pip their toes into

1079
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: basically any player that might become available through a trade.

1080
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: And I'm not okay, I'm not reporting anything. I'm not

1081
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: speculating because as a matter of fact, I don't think

1082
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: he's moving. But if you look at the team, they

1083
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: could probably stand to use a wide receiver and then

1084
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: have the resources to actually acquire a player of this caliber.

1085
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: AJ Green. For example, the Bills might be one of

1086
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: the few teams that could actually PLoP a trade. Now Cincinnati,

1087
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 1: I think it is pretty hard in their stands, we're

1088
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: not trading him, But there are teams that people have

1089
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 1: linked AJ Green too. But like even if the Patriots

1090
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: wanted the trade to AJ Green and the Bengals wanted

1091
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: to trade him, I just don't know how it works

1092
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: from a cap standpoint. So I think the builds have

1093
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: the mindset, they have the assets, and I think they

1094
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: have the cap flexibility to potentially make some moves over

1095
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: the next seven days. Yeah, it's great to have that flexibility.

1096
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: I understand that field, but I wonder how much, not

1097
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: just for the Bills, but for all teams. I think

1098
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: it's almost an underrated part of scouting self scouting, knowing,

1099
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: as you said, I think you said Pioli said this,

1100
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: knowing who we are and where we are in our

1101
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: development and what we expect from the guys already on

1102
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: our roster. All of that goes into decisions being made

1103
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: about trade right. Absolutely part of it is knowing where

1104
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 1: you are as a franchise and knowing how a player

1105
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: is going to fit into what you do, so the

1106
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: Bills have been But you know, over the past year,

1107
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: we've learned a lot about the Bill obvious that they've

1108
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: got nucleus a talent, much of which has been added

1109
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 1: through the draft and then developed subsequently, which is always

1110
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: a good order of business to be following in football.

1111
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: But Branbean has been selectively aggressive and both free agency

1112
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: and trading, right. I mean, we've seen him make some

1113
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: moves that have paid dividend for the team and free agency,

1114
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 1: and then also he has been active on the trade market.

1115
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: So I think, while you're right that knowing who you

1116
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: are is most important, kanvasing the league has a lot

1117
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 1: of value because there are players that circumstantially have become

1118
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,479
Speaker 1: available that might do a lot to help the team.

1119
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: Go from a team that I think has a chance

1120
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: to just take the playoffs to a team that I

1121
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 1: think has a chance to do some damage comes January.

1122
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: Most of the Bills wins this year have kind of

1123
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: looked alike. They've fallen behind or struggled early in the

1124
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: game and then nipped their opponents at the end. Josh

1125
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: Allen once again had a fourth quarter comeback against the

1126
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins this past weekend, and he seems to have a

1127
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: knack for doing that. He was ten of eleven in

1128
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: the second half, and we had this question about him.

1129
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: How clutch could he be? What do you And there

1130
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: are some local reporters here who think maybe this game

1131
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins was a significant step forward for him,

1132
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: even though it was an ugly win. What are your

1133
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: thoughts on his progress? Yeah, so I am always of

1134
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: the mindset that first, I'm a positive person by nature,

1135
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: and I think that you know, that can be important

1136
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: in sports as well. So some might look at Josh

1137
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: allen struggles out of the gates and say it's a

1138
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: sign of him not having made enough progress by this

1139
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: juncture of his career, to which I would respond, He's

1140
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: played what six p NFL games now, twenty three years old,

1141
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: twenty two years old, Like, there is so much more

1142
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen to learn just by playing in games

1143
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: a ton more. I actually think that if you're the Bills,

1144
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: as much as you'd love to win every game forty

1145
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: to nothing, because everybody would, there's a lot to be

1146
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: gained from the way that they have come back in

1147
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: these top handful of games. I think it's developmental puffness.

1148
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: I think it's developed a certain robery, and I think

1149
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: you give these guys a belief if they can win

1150
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: every single Sunday around the line with Field Yates ESPN

1151
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: NFL Insider Field Bills Eagles this week. There's a lot

1152
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: of I think intrigue in this matchup, including the fact

1153
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: that the Eagles are susceptible to given a passing yardage

1154
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy one yards per game, I think

1155
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: they give up. Are the Bills equipped to take advantage

1156
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 1: of that? Would you think this Sunday? Yeah, they are,

1157
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: because everybody has been so far this season against Philadelphia,

1158
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: and if you listen to Philly right now, they don't

1159
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: seem to have an answer, Like I'm not even sure

1160
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: that they know how things can get better right now

1161
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: other than just playing significantly better. And when you're seven

1162
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: games into your season and three and four, I'm not

1163
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: sure how much room for hope that necessarily is. Really

1164
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: we're just talking about self scouting, and with Philadelphia right now,

1165
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 1: it feels like self scouting suggests that they just don't

1166
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: have the orders. Well, some of it has to be

1167
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: the fact that they've got like nineteen thousand guys on

1168
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: the injury report, and that they're not themselves. I mean,

1169
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: it would speak to the fact that they are not

1170
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: as deep as you would like to be going into

1171
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: the season. But then again, when all your injuries happen

1172
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: to the same position group, how deep do you have

1173
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: to be? So is there some sense that you know

1174
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: they've been bitten by the injury bug a little too

1175
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: much in the front front of their defense. Well, they

1176
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: certainly have been bitten by the injury bug in a

1177
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: way that you know you can't really you don't expect

1178
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: going into a season. At the same time, everybody has

1179
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: dealt with injuries too, you know. So if you look

1180
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: around and see teams around the NFL, like, hey, we're

1181
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: talking about I mean, you just name it. You know,

1182
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: the Rams have dealt with injuries of late along the

1183
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: offensive line. We've seen you know, I mean, even teams

1184
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: that might not necessarily be in contention for the playoffs

1185
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: this year, but like the Giants end a rash of

1186
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: injuries not that long ago to their offensive skilled players.

1187
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: So every team deals with injuries, and for Philadelphia, the

1188
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: hard part it's just that they fancied themselves in so

1189
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: many ways be a team that compend this season. And

1190
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of book all left and there's

1191
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: only one game out in the division. But at three

1192
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: and four, with a very difficult game against the build

1193
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: coming up, it's hard to call something a must win

1194
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: this early on in the season. But it kind of

1195
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: feels like, what, I have one more question for you

1196
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: about the Eagles if I may field, and that's all

1197
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: the reports of you know, dysfunction and leaks to the

1198
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: media coming out of the Philadelphia locker room. How much

1199
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: of any stock are you put in that as far

1200
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: as a factor in a game like this one on Sunday, Well,

1201
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: typically those things can do one of two things. They

1202
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: can that kind of media if you want it leaks

1203
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: and information that maybe doesn't shed a particularly positive light.

1204
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: Is that either strengthens you or it divides you when

1205
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: you face adversity. And you know, I don't know a ton,

1206
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't know the full context of all the information

1207
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: that is being perceived as leaked, but I think it's

1208
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: a test. It's a test for head coach Doug Peterson

1209
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: and the leaders on that roster, and it's ultimately this

1210
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: is a team that has a lot of players that

1211
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: were with them just a couple of years ago when

1212
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl, and they need to bet

1213
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: on themselves and show that they have the infrastructure in

1214
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: place to ignore the noise or turn the noise on

1215
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: its head and become a team that can fight through

1216
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: adversity as opposed to one that comes to adversity. I

1217
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: want to ask you a little bit about the other

1218
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: side of the ball. We've been talking about their defensive

1219
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: front and the injuries that have happened, But Carson, Carson

1220
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: Wentz is still a really good quarterback, still an accurate

1221
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: throw or, still has the ability to spread the football around.

1222
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,439
Speaker 1: Nelson aghaloor All, Sean Jeffrey, and of course zach Ertz.

1223
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: This the firepower that see it looks from the outside

1224
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: looking in, the firepower they have in Philly seems to

1225
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: be more than enough to score points on anybody. And

1226
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: yet at times it's been a roller coaster and they

1227
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: haven't been able to get it done. What are what's

1228
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: their problem? Offensively? Just not sure how well that skill

1229
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: group has really played so far this season. So the

1230
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: Bills make everybody look bad on offense for the most part,

1231
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: But the Eagles have really struggled and it could be

1232
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: a tough one on Sunday given how well Buffalo has

1233
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:10,959
Speaker 1: played throughout this season. But you know, the Eagles seem

1234
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: to lack the ability to consistently generate space against man Kirch,

1235
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: and part of that is because the Sean Jackson has

1236
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: not been available for multiple weeks now and he's not

1237
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: practicing as the team gets going with its preparation here today.

1238
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: But there doesn't seem to be a lot of juice

1239
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: right now amongst the pass catchers. It has been very

1240
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: complicated to understand because it doesn't look like the same

1241
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: team that we saw last season, but or at times

1242
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: last season, I should say it, but it's still a

1243
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: good test in terms of just like pure natural traits.

1244
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: They certainly have a lot of the right guys. It's

1245
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 1: just about them again playing better each week of the season.

1246
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: Talking with Field Yates from ESPNI is a host of

1247
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: the fantasy focused football podcasting. We will take your fantasy

1248
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: football questions for field Yates via Twitter. If you want

1249
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: to send them into one, Bill Sive we'll get to

1250
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: that in a couple of minutes. Want to get you

1251
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: around the league A little field We mentioned trade deadline

1252
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: coming up next Tuesday. The Patriots didn't wait. They got

1253
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu and the trade with Atlanta. What did the

1254
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Patriots get with Mohamed Sanu? And how badly do they

1255
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: need him? First of all, I mean they certainly need him,

1256
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: because they themselves I was talking about injuries earlier. My goodness,

1257
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots have dealt with so many injuries so far

1258
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: this season on offense. They're starting left packle Isaiah winn

1259
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Is on IR with the chance to return. They're starting

1260
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: center David Andrews is on IR without the chance to return.

1261
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: That They've been banged up along the offensive line. They've

1262
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: been banged up in the backfield with Rex Burkhead and

1263
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: now there's They've been banged up a wide receiver with

1264
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon missing time, and so many players that have

1265
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: played meaningful roles for them at tight end as well

1266
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: being banged up. So Patriots are still sort of figuring

1267
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: out their offense right now. But Mohamed Sanu is a

1268
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: player that is explosive in the middle of the field.

1269
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Maybe not necessarily a massive vertical threat, but a guy

1270
01:01:55,400 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: that has incredible dependability, very very powerful and reliable in

1271
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and a guy that should

1272
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: be able to pick up the nuances of this offense

1273
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: is a versatile player, and I think really quickly Mohammed

1274
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: Sanu is going to emerge as a player that brings

1275
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: a lot to the locker room for the Patriots as well.

1276
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: And you know, I think about culture a lot in

1277
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I think the Bills are a great

1278
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: example of maybe one of the teams that puts as

1279
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: much of a priority on it because they're smart. And

1280
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: here we are and the Patriots, I think have done

1281
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: a similar job. And I think that Mohammed Sanu is

1282
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that really brings a lot to

1283
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: the culture in the locker room the team. Well, one

1284
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: of the other things that we sit here in Buffalo

1285
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: and all the talk has been about maybe getting a

1286
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: guy like kJ Green a wide receiver. But you have

1287
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu going to the New England Patriots and then

1288
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: today Emmanuel Sanders wide receiver going to the forty nine Ers.

1289
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: How many of these guys do you think are going

1290
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: to trade places? And what does Emmanuel Sanders mean for

1291
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: the Niners? Yeah, I think Emmanuel Sanders I'll answer that

1292
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: one in reverse. I think Emmanuel Sanders for the Niners

1293
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: immediately becomes their most reliable wide receiver. They've got a

1294
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: talent in that wide receiver room, it's just all very

1295
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: young and relatively inexperienced. Dante pets Sebo Samuel the two

1296
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 1: pieces that really figure into the mixed long term for

1297
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco. But neither of those players right now is

1298
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: close to a finished product. So what Emmanuel Sanders brings

1299
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: is a guy that even if he hasn't played for

1300
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, he has played in enough systems and has

1301
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: enough chops to be a really reliable player for them

1302
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: in short order. Now. He had a acl excuse me,

1303
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: an achilles injury in December of last year, and yet

1304
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: he looks no worse for the wear right now. He

1305
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: has been unbelievable in his recovery, making it all the

1306
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: way back in time for the season opener, participating throughout

1307
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: much of training camp. He had a red hot start

1308
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,439
Speaker 1: to the season. He slowed down a bit of late,

1309
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: but I think he immediately becomes the wide receiver that

1310
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: I think probably within two weeks he would be the

1311
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: most reliable pass catcher on that fort nine Ers roster.

1312
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: That isn't meame George Kittle. If you're looking ahead to

1313
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: this weekend's game, the one that had potential to be

1314
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: a great game, maybe he lessens a little bit depending

1315
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,919
Speaker 1: on what happens with Patrick Mahomes the Chiefs and maybe

1316
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: the guy who's this year's MVP, Aaron Rodgers, and they're

1317
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: going to hook up, right, you might have the last

1318
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: the current two mbps playing in that game. Yeah, certainly

1319
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: still looking to this one very much. Sunday night football,

1320
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: which is always a good thing, and they play in

1321
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City, which you know gives it the Chiefs an

1322
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: advantage relative to playing on the road. But great test here,

1323
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: I think for the Packers, because you know, this is

1324
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: a team that six and one has succeeded some expectations.

1325
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: There has been so much promise from Aaron Rodgers, and

1326
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: especially over the past week where he was just dominant

1327
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: with six touchdowns and that resounding win over the Raiders.

1328
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Really looking forward to this game on Sunday. I think

1329
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: the Kansas City probably finds a way to I think

1330
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: has a chance to find a way to win at home.

1331
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: But I am unquestionably looking forward to this game. I

1332
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: don't know that too much of the luster has gone

1333
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: because I just think there's so much important to this

1334
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: game for both sides Green Bay. I don't want to

1335
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: say that you have to look at a game against

1336
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City as an easy win, But if you are

1337
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: the Packers, you're probably staying in yourself. We get to

1338
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: go to Arrowhead and not face Patrick Mahomes. That right,

1339
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: there is plenty to build your confidence and thinking of

1340
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: a chance to go in there and win. Can the

1341
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs win without Mahomes against this team, Packer team, Yeah,

1342
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: I think they can. And here's I'm you know, I'm

1343
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: just I'm not betting against the possibility of the Chiefs

1344
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: finding ways to be productive offensively. It's really difficult to

1345
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: win at home. The question will be do they make

1346
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: their Packers Lad offense or the Packers offense look like

1347
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: the group it was last week, or do they make

1348
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: it look like the group that it was for the

1349
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: first five or six weeks of the season. Because the

1350
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: first five weeks of the season, the Packers offense had

1351
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: some up and down moments. It wasn't as if Aaron

1352
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers was sailing with the level of efficiency that he

1353
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: was this past week. So not counting this one as

1354
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: an automatic win for the Packers. Yet I think the

1355
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs absolutely have a chance. On Sunday night, fell Gasp

1356
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 1: and NFL Insider and those of the Fantasy Focused foot

1357
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: Ball podcast. Time now for the fantasy questions that come

1358
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:04,919
Speaker 1: in via Twitter for you feel you're ready, We're gonna

1359
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: zip through some of these. You're ready to go. As

1360
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: always from h Babo, he says, who will get more

1361
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 1: targets at wide receiver? Now, the aforementioned Emmanuel Senders or

1362
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley. That's a great question right there. I will

1363
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 1: go with Calvin Ridley. And here's the reason why the

1364
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: Falcons need to throw it so much, because they're so

1365
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: poor defensively. The party nine ers and you would counter

1366
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: a game script is in like what the situations are

1367
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: are the run heaviest team in the NFL this season

1368
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: and the way they're playing defense, I'm not sure that's

1369
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: going to change, all right? Then listen another one from

1370
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: another fantasy football question for field Yates from Jack. He says,

1371
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: if it's a similar situation from last week, do you

1372
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: start David Johnson or Chase Edmonds. I think this situation

1373
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: is going to be resolved for you because David Johnson's

1374
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: not practicing today. The Cardinals did sign Zach Zenter and

1375
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris. You just do a little bit of deductive

1376
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: reasoning here makes me thinks that David Johnson won't be

1377
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: available on Sunday, so the decision will be made precisely

1378
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:08,439
Speaker 1: for you. Here's one from Aaron. He says, I must

1379
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: start to Chase Edmonds, Matt Breedo or David Montgomery. What

1380
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: do you do? I would sit David Montgomery operating under

1381
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: the premise that it's going to be Chase Edmonds playing

1382
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: in in place of David Johnson. With David Johnson seeming

1383
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: unlikely to play, he is not practicing today for the

1384
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Arizona card So you're gonna start Chase Edmonds and David

1385
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: Montgomery and throw Matt breedot. Okay, No, I'm gonna sit

1386
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: Matt Breed in that right. Okay. Here we go. Last

1387
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: another one here from Andrew says, do I start Philip

1388
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: Rivers or Josh Allen? Philip Rivers matched up against the

1389
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee defense. Josh Allen of course against Philadelphia. Yeah. I

1390
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: think it's actually Philip Rivers going up against Chicago this weekend.

1391
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Last weekend, and I'm definitely going I just Josh Allen

1392
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: have to do it, really because because of the job. Yeah, yeah,

1393
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: great matchup for Josh. I think we'll find his way

1394
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: not just as a but also as a runner. Tim

1395
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen over Philip Rivers, what do you know about that? One?

1396
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,439
Speaker 1: More from Trevor, what are field gage expectations for Kenny

1397
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: still stepping in for will Fuller? Yeah? So, great opportunity

1398
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: here for Kenny Steells, who's kind of like Will Fuller

1399
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: and the sense that he's got tons of speed, very

1400
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: good passing offense. I think he has a chance to

1401
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: like a top thirty five wide receiver until Will Fuller

1402
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: is back and reserve. Right now, when we're having this conversation,

1403
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: we really don't have any information as to when Will

1404
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 1: Fuller might be back for Houston. All right, feel like

1405
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: one last question for it's a league wide question, and

1406
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: who is your choice right now after one third of

1407
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: the season, a little more than a third of the

1408
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: season for NFL MVP. My answer remains Russell Wilson. I

1409
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: know that they're coming off of a loss which has

1410
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,440
Speaker 1: taken a little bit of a luster off of this candidacy,

1411
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: but I just think he has been so brilliant, such

1412
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: an incredible improvisational quarterback that team is playing well. He's

1413
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: so precise with the football, so accurate with the football,

1414
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: makes great decisions, has just one reception so far this year.

1415
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: Really good candidates including Aaron Rodgers, Them Jackson, Christian McCaffrey,

1416
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: and some others, But to me, it remains Russell will

1417
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Who's the best fantasy player in the league. It's Christian McCaffrey,

1418
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: with a close second being the Patriots defense given where

1419
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: you drafted them. But Christian McCaffrey has been the MVP.

1420
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: Even though he's missed the game because of the bye.

1421
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey has been the most valuable player in Fantasy football.

1422
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Good season. There you go, Feel Do you have any

1423
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: questions for us? I feel like it's been kind of

1424
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: one sided. I'm coming back with a with a notebook

1425

1435
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: same questions I'm asking. Yeah, here's the question we have

1436
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: for you, the listener at home or the viewer. I'll

1437
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: badly do the Bills need to make a trade. Let

1438
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: us know what you think. Eight three fifty toll free

1439
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two fifty six days

1440
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: away from the trade deadline. That's why we're asking, come

1441
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: on back, give us a call. It is One Bills

1442
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalidah Health live from the Seneca Studio

1443
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: in Archard Park, and this is Buffalo Bills Radio practice.

1444
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillip is going to join us when practice end

1445
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 1: should have been the next half hour or so. Welcome

1446
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: back to the show, John Murphy, Steve Tasker. We've already

1447
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: started last week. We didn't do this. We talked a

1448
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: lot about the Dolphins, how bad we were, they were.

1449
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: We've watch started talking about this matchup on Sunday though

1450
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: it gets me excited that we have an important game.

1451
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,600
Speaker 1: They're all pretty important, but a game against a recognizable

1452
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: team that they're gonna be desperate. I think it's gonna

1453
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 1: be a really fun matchup. I don't know if the

1454
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: bill is is gonna win. I haven't, I really haven't,

1455
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 1: you know, been able to dive into the Eagles video yet,

1456
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: but I kind of know what I'm gonna see. You're

1457
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:16,640
Speaker 1: gonna see a team that struggles on the back end

1458
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: of their defense a lot. They're pretty good on the

1459
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: front end of their defense and have been in consistent

1460
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: out offense. Three and four. There you go. Yeah, that's it,

1461
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: and they lost a tough You think about that, if

1462
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: they didn't won that game last week, I guess the Cowboys,

1463
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: which they didn't, and not even it wasn't even a

1464
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: close game that Cowboys ran off with it. You know,

1465
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: this is a much different feel. You got a four

1466
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: and three team coming in rather than a three and

1467
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: four team. And I know it's one game, but they're

1468
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,560
Speaker 1: leading the division and then NFC East. But this is

1469
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,560
Speaker 1: still I think a quality football team that's getting in

1470
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: here with a lot of talent, and like you said,

1471
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 1: we saw the big swing that the Bills took from

1472
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You and I both saw it with the

1473
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 1: game the Dolphins played of the season by far. They

1474
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: lost by tens of the Bills, but the Bills are

1475
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 1: no slouches, and they just couldn't get it done. A

1476
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,879
Speaker 1: couple of plays by some great players that the Dolphins

1477
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: don't have, and that game was the Bills to lose.

1478
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:15,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna get that same effort from a team that

1479
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: does have those guys. Yeah, They've got some guys that

1480
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: can take a big swing and make an account. So

1481
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna have to weather that storm and

1482
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: play better than they did in more mistake free than

1483
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: they did against the Dolphins to win this. I think

1484
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: this is going to be a really really good game,

1485
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: in a very difficult game for the Bills to win.

1486
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: I do too. The Eagles desperate. We know that they're

1487
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 1: gonna be desperate, and Doug Peterson, their head coach, talked

1488
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 1: earlier this week maybe and even this morning about just

1489
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: their mindset of desperation and even some of the turmoil

1490
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: they've had. Here's a Philadelphia Eagles head coach, Doug Peterson.

1491
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 1: The teams mad, they're upset, and they're disappointed in how

1492
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: we've we've lost these last two games. They're embarrassed obviously

1493
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: from the other day. And so they're which is good.

1494
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's not good that you lose, but

1495
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 1: it's good the fact that they're they're taking ownership of it. Uh,

1496
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, And and uh they're they're in a good spot.

1497
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 1: And and uh you know again, like I've said, this

1498
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 1: is a resilient group. They're gonna bounce back and and

1499
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: respawn positively. This team is mad. They should be, man right,

1500
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: they've lost a couple in a row on the road.

1501
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: They're off for their This Buffalo game will be their

1502
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: third straight down the road. Um, and they know where

1503
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: they're at. They know what it takes to win a

1504
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Most of that group was there a couple

1505
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: of years ago. Um, it's gonna be a heck of

1506
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: a game. Can I say that again. It's gonna be

1507
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: really good. It's gonna be the intriguing game. We were

1508
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 1: just told today, if you can get a seat, good luck. Yeah,

1509
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: because they're out. It's out. I mean it was, it's been.

1510
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: It's sold out already. You can't get a seat. Uh.

1511
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we we have these back channels we

1512
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: go through. We know people, right, you can't get tickets,

1513
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 1: you can't get a seat. I know it's brutal. I

1514
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 1: know it's not brutal. It's kind of that's the way

1515
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: you want one, right. Yeah, it's fun. This is a

1516
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: this is a big game. All of a sudden, it's

1517
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a live atmosphere once again in new era.

1518
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 1: And we're six days away from the NFL trade deadline.

1519
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 1: To how badly did the Bills need to make a deal.

1520
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: Let's sake a few phone calls here, let's go to

1521
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 1: uh Marie and am Hurst. Hello, Marie, welcome to the show.

1522
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: You waited a while, Thanks for coming on, all right,

1523
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: thank you. Um. I don't think the Bills need to

1524
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: make a trade at all. There's a guy in Kansas

1525
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. The head coach loves him so much, big

1526
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: time receiver. His name is Jody Sportsman. I don't know

1527
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: why the Bills don't go grab him off the practice squad.

1528
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 1: They love him in Kansas City, but they are so

1529
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,760
Speaker 1: deep at receiver they can't pull him up. And he's

1530
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: like six six big guy. He I saw the one

1531
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: game it had the defensive lineman. Coach talking for him,

1532
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: looked like he want him to come be a linebacker.

1533
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:52,440
Speaker 1: Tell us to get Marie. What's his name, Jody Sportsmen.

1534
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: He's from Buffalo, He's a chap at Aldosa State. I

1535
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: don't know why the Bills don't go snatch him off

1536
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: the Francis squad, make no trade, go get that kid.

1537
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Are you related to him, Marie? No, okay, you just

1538
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: know him? All right? I watched again. All right. Also,

1539
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 1: I gotta check him out. We go go wire look

1540
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 1: him up. Now you got me. Thanks Ray. Let's go

1541
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: to Bruce and Amherst, New York. Hello Bruce, welcome to

1542
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, thanks taking my call. Guys, Hello John

1543
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 1: and Little Steve. Great show, long time listener. Before I

1544
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: get to my comment or question, I'll probably see you sooner.

1545
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: John had upcoming Canisius games and they got something going

1546
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: out tonight at Russell's I meet and greet with coaches

1547
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: and players. I'll give you three names of players out

1548
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: there that could help the Bills. I've been hearing it

1549
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks. It might just be

1550
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 1: wistful thinking, but let me know your take on it.

1551
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: What you think if the Bills may grab one of

1552
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: them or none of them or whatever. And that's that.

1553
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: The running back from the Chargers. Diggs von Miller, they

1554
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 1: said we ever got him, and I'd love to get

1555
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 1: him for number one, I'd give up would make us

1556
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 1: historical defense like back in the day when you played

1557
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 1: Stephen A went to the four Super Bowl runs. Yeah,

1558
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, I've heard a couple of things. Diggs was

1559
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: just traded, right, so yeah, I would think he's out.

1560
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,920
Speaker 1: And Melvin Gordon, I don't know, is running back really

1561
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: a position to need for the Bills. But Vonton Miller.

1562
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,560
Speaker 1: I hear that name, and I'm thinking, really, are the

1563
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Broncos really considering trading the way von Miller? And do

1564
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,680
Speaker 1: the Bills really want him? I don't know. Well do

1565
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: you think kind of doubted? What do you gotta get

1566
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: do to get that guy? Right? I mean it's a

1567
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame caliber guy, right, like a hundred sacks

1568
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 1: in his career or something like that or not. Maybe

1569
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: not an hundred, but he's got a ton of sacks

1570
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 1: in his career. Yeah, I don't know that. Von Miller's Listen,

1571
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: we all know this, and I'm serious when I say this.

1572
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: Everybody is available for a trade if the price is right.

1573
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: And that's what you got to ask yourself, is the

1574
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: price is right, and how fast can you get the

1575
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: guy acclimated to your system. I think a guy like

1576
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: von Miller. Yeah, if you're gonna ask him to rush

1577
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: the passer, he'll be ready to go pretty quick. But

1578
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: and he'll he'll help. I mean, good grief, are you

1579
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: kidding me? The guy's a phenomenal player, a great one

1580
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: of the great press rushers in the game today and

1581
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: the most productive guy of the last you know what,

1582
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: handful ten years, five to ten years. He's a great player.

1583
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't and I get it. Everybody thinks that there's

1584
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: something you know that will and I get it. You

1585
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 1: want to put all your eggs into this basket, but don't.

1586
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: Don't forget. That's how the Bills got into all those problems.

1587
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 1: Over the course of the year, they'd go, they'd find

1588
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 1: some good players, overpay them, and then they wouldn't have

1589
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 1: anybody else to support those players, and those players were ineffective.

1590
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 1: As a result, he ended up trading him away to

1591
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: get out from underneath the contract so you could get

1592
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: some more more good players rather than just one or

1593
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: two good players. So you want to go back into

1594
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 1: that cycle, I know, because you feel like this team

1595
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 1: is just on the cusp of being really good. They're

1596
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: just one piece, like a von Miller or an aj

1597
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:10,680
Speaker 1: Green or a Julio Jones away from being unbeatable. And

1598
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: let me tell you it's not the case. There's too

1599
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: many things, there's too many moving parts that are going

1600
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: to keep you from doing that. And if you want

1601
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: to sustain this, if you want to be in this

1602
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: conversation that we've had over the last four weeks, every year,

1603
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 1: we want to go five and one or four and

1604
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 1: two every single season and be in this conversation for

1605
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You don't go out and spend three number

1606
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: ones on von Miller, or two ones and a two,

1607
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: or a or two twos and a one even, you know,

1608
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 1: don't You just don't go out and do that. You

1609
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: don't throw him his salary on top of everything else.

1610
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 1: You don't pay him twenty million dollars a year with

1611
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of it guaranteed, because you got other

1612
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 1: places you can spend the money. Now, no doubt, he

1613
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: is a he's a difference maker. But that's what you're

1614
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: talking about you're talking about going backwards in your philosophy

1615
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 1: rather than stay in the course that has gotten you

1616
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: to the point where you're on the cusp of this

1617
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: great thing. So don't go backwards. We're talking in the

1618
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: during the break with some of our crew about you'd

1619
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: love to really tap into Brandon Bean's thoughts on this

1620
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 1: and not like hey, Brandon, why don't you go get

1621
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: this guy? Or Brandon, you're gonna make a trade, but

1622
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: more it's more about us. I set the field Yates

1623
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 1: last half hour. Where do you see your roster? What

1624
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 1: do you think of what you have? What do you

1625
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: think you have? What you have coming up? By the way,

1626
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: what's next year's draft look like? You know? All those

1627
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: All of those are all calculations that go into the decision.

1628
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: I would think to make a mid season trade, deadline

1629
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,719
Speaker 1: type of deal. Where are we? What does the landscape

1630
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: look like around us in the AFC? And we all

1631
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 1: have answers to those questions, but where are we? And yeah,

1632
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: how badly do you need to make a trade? And

1633
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a really you'd love to get an

1634
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: honest and he can't do it because he can't let

1635
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 1: everybody know what he's thinking. But you'd love to get

1636
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: an honest appraisal from Brandon Bean on where he thinks

1637
01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: his roster is, where they're maybe a little like maybe

1638
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: little strong, where they might have some, uh, you know,

1639
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: assets that can bring somebody else in. And you know,

1640
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 1: because it's there's a lot of calculations and to a

1641
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: lesser extent, team chemistry and culture that's part of it,

1642
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 1: and that would have to be weighed into it. But

1643
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: more so I think it's self evaluation. What do we have,

1644
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: what do we need where? What are we going to

1645
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 1: have next year on this roster? Who do I got

1646
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: on my practice squad that I think might be as

1647
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: good as a receiver that might be available by a

1648
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: trade right now for example. You know what I'm saying.

1649
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: The real key to that whole sent and I agree

1650
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: with you one hundred percent, But the real key to

1651
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: it is knowing, not knowing who you are and what

1652
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: you what's knowing what you got and how good what

1653
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: you got compares to everything else everybody else's got. Yeah,

1654
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: it's it's how good is Duke Williams compared to the

1655
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: third guy over in New York Jets or anybody anyplace

1656
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: else you can name Cincinnati or whatever. Is how good

1657
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,640
Speaker 1: is your third guy compared to their third guy? Uh?

1658
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 1: Is that going to make you better? And how long

1659
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: will it take you there this new guy to learn

1660
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: the plays? You know? I mean, certainly you can give

1661
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: him a small menu a plays for every game and

1662
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:03,640
Speaker 1: it expands on that and you'll get it. If you

1663
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 1: really really work at it. You can get him to

1664
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: contribute right away. But that's what you're talking about. It's

1665
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: knowing how good your guys are that you have right now,

1666
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: and how much of an upgrade you could even hope

1667
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 1: to be on the top end with somebody new, and

1668
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: where he is compared to these other guys that you're

1669
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: talking about bringing in. So certainly, if you're talking about

1670
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: turning things upside down and you're not talking about your

1671
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: third or fourth wide receiver, you're talking about your number

1672
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: one guy, somebody that's better than John Brown, somebody that's

1673
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 1: better than Cole Beasley, and bringing them in like these

1674
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: other names we're talking about. And the caller a few

1675
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: minutes ago, Jody Fortson, he was a college tight end

1676
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: six six, two thirty. Now they've moved him to wide

1677
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:47,759
Speaker 1: receiver in Kansas City. Remember Kansas City threw in Kelvin

1678
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 1: Benjamin in there late last year. They want it, so

1679
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,560
Speaker 1: they're looking for a guy that's the opposite of what

1680
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is, a small hood ornament, you know, lightning

1681
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 1: fast guy. They want a big target for afferent kind

1682
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: of matchups. So they've they've got Jody Fortson on their

1683
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: practice squad. I don't know how fast he is. I

1684
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: don't know what his stuff is, but he was listed

1685
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver, I mean a tight end when

1686
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,639
Speaker 1: he came out, and now he's listed as a wide

1687
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,640
Speaker 1: receiver for the Chief. So it's interesting stuff. But I

1688
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 1: gotta say, Marie called in. That's exactly what the Bill's

1689
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: front office does. They scour everything and they're looking at

1690
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 1: things people we don't know about. John and I don't

1691
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: know about it, and a lot of other people don't

1692
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: know about. It's their job to know those guys, all

1693
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 1: these practice squad guys. So if Jody Fortson hasn't been

1694
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 1: signed by us, there's a reason for it. They're looking

1695
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: for something different, or they don't think his measurables are

1696
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 1: enough to give him a chance at our active roster.

1697
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: Take call here from Mike and Buffalo. Hello, Mike, you're

1698
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 1: on the air. Hey, John and Steve and nice talking

1699
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: to you guys. Hi. Hey, I got a quick question

1700
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 1: the way you phrase it, John, you say, how badly

1701
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 1: do we have to make a trade? Well, look at

1702
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: New England six? And oh, how badly did they need

1703
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: to make a trade. Well, to be honest with you, Mike,

1704
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: they needed receivers, right They've gone through a bunch already,

1705
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 1: they and we talked to Field Yates about it a

1706
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 1: minute ago. The Patriots needed hell receiver. With going through

1707
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and everybody else, and Edelman's banged up all

1708
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:07,679
Speaker 1: the time, there's somebody else another receiver they've lost recently.

1709
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 1: They needed a wide receiver badly. I get your head.

1710
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: I get your point, Mike. It's not all about the record.

1711
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,560
Speaker 1: It's about where you think your team are. That's what

1712
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: Murph was just saying. You got to know who you are.

1713
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: And the Patriots don't like who they are right now,

1714
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: even though they're six. And Oh and Mike, one more thing,

1715
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:20,639
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna let you come back up here. Another

1716
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: thing about assessing where you are. And there are those

1717
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:25,640
Speaker 1: of us, Steve, I think disagrees those of us who

1718
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 1: speculate the Patriots look and say, hey, we're running out

1719
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: of time with Brady. We better make a move here

1720
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: to make sure we surround him with whatever we can

1721
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: to get back to win another championship. There's people who

1722
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: think that might be a motivating force the Patriots. Right now,

1723
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 1: go ahead. I'm sorry, Mike. Teams are going to get better.

1724
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Repeat it again. If we don't make a

1725
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: move this year, the other teams are gonna get better.

1726
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 1: We're making a run for the playoffs, at least as

1727
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: a wildcard. Yeah, if we don't make a move now,

1728
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: the other teams are going to get better, and the

1729
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: Bills will get better too. Championship we're competing for the wildcard.

1730
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: Well yeah, you're talking about next year, this year, this year,

1731
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: well yeah, I mean the Bills are thinking they're getting

1732
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: better at week by week, particularly offensively. I mean, that's

1733
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 1: where they're sitting at now. They've got that mindset right now,

1734
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 1: and certainly they liked the guys they've got, they would

1735
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: out and signed them and brought them to training camp

1736
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 1: and all that. But it's like you said, at this point, Mike,

1737
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: if you're going to get better. The way you're talking about,

1738
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,799
Speaker 1: you've got to sabotage your ability to get better between

1739
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:29,719
Speaker 1: February and September of next year. Hey, Steve, what about

1740
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: this past Sunday, the Miami game. We were pathetic as

1741
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 1: far as offense except for maybe the fourth quarter. You

1742
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: know what, Our defense was bad. Our offense was bad.

1743
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: If we would have had maybe an extra player on

1744
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: offense or defense, maybe they would have got those runs.

1745
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: Maybe they wouldn't have got those passes. Maybe we would

1746
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 1: have got to Maybe we would have won by twelve

1747
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 1: instead of eleven or ten. Oh, we would have. Well,

1748
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 1: it's because if we'd have gotten better you're saying we were,

1749
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 1: we would have lost. No, if we didn't intercept that

1750
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: pass by Davis. Absolutely, what if we had traded the

1751
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: number one pick we got for Tredavis for some guy

1752
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: who's a different player, then where yet? I mean, that's

1753
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I mean I get it too,

1754
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 1: because you could always draft like Shack Lawson or or

1755
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: or Aaron Maybin or some of these other busts we've

1756
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: seen over the years. Certainly, but you also could get

1757
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: a guy like Tremaine Edmonds or Josh Allen. Plus you

1758
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: get Tremaine Allen's Edmonds and Josh Allen for ten years.

1759
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: You don't get who aj Green for two. You guys

1760
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: have both lost me. Mike. I get it, Mike get

1761
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 1: We're always trying to get better. Yeah, and there's always

1762
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 1: room to get better, but there are costs involved. I

1763
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: think that's what you're kind of ignoring. Yeah, you'd like

1764
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: to get better. Absolutely, what are you willing to pay

1765
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 1: to get better in the trade? I don't know that

1766
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: the bills. I think the years, and you know what

1767
01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: I want. I don't want to go through another twenty

1768
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: years where we're trying to just make the playoffs. Nobody does.

1769
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: What do they do to what they do to get here?

1770
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 1: Where do they do to get five and one and

1771
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 1: sitting with two game lead on this first wildcard spot

1772
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 1: and looking like a team that was one play away

1773
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: from being six and ozho and sitting here at the

1774
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: top of the conference. I mean, what did they do

1775
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 1: to get here? And I don't know that they would

1776
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:16,759
Speaker 1: need to deviate from that now just because we got close,

1777
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,600
Speaker 1: we're close and still growing. I still gotta better. We

1778
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 1: gotta move along. But let me just say and I don't.

1779
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 1: I'll let you come back. But to summarize I think

1780
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: your position, it would be the Bills need to have

1781
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: an urgency to make a trade right now because the

1782
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 1: Patriots did right. Is that what you're saying if they

1783
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 1: made a trade of sixth and oh, we gotta make

1784
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: a trade just to get here? No, No, I disagree.

1785
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, but I disagree. We gotta

1786
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 1: take a break. We're coming back. One Bill's Live presented

1787

01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: it all started back was I think October first, we

01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,720
Speaker 1: had one of our better guests is Andy Benoid, who

1800

Speaker 1: works for Sports Illustrated. Wrote for Sports Illustrated. He does

1801
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: a ton of films that he Steve knows him. He's

1802
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 1: a credible film reviewer. Right for a for a from

1803
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: an amateur right stand points Steve, would you agree, Oh yeah,

1804
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: at any rate? And he makes it seriously. Yeah, he changed.

1805
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 1: Andy Bnoight came out and said of all the Bills

1806
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: defensive tackles and everybody'd been playing well, he said, you

1807
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: were the best. Can I play the SoundBite? This is

1808
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:48,760
Speaker 1: Andy Benoid from three weeks ago talking about our guest

1809
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips. Jordan Phillips to me is one of the

1810
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: more undervalued players in the NFL, and he has been

1811
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 1: for a long time. And I think, guys, honestly, I

1812
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: think it's not even close right now, or at least

1813
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: it's very apparent, let's put it that way. It's very

1814
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 1: clear to me that he's been their most dynamic defensive

1815
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 1: lineman this year. Would you like to offer an argument

1816
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 1: against you know, I'm not going to argue with him.

1817
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't argue. I appreciate the recognition. What do you

1818
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: think he saw what have you been doing this year

1819
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: and even going back to last year when you were

1820
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 1: here with the Bills. U, it's just playing consistently, given

1821
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:26,599
Speaker 1: everybody the effort, and U just making a couple more

1822
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 1: plays than I have in the past years. There's no

1823
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: stark differences to what you're doing now than what you

1824
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 1: did before earlier in your career. You just getting more results.

1825
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 1: As as it may be playing with better guys around

1826
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 1: you're a better scheme or a better higher level defense

1827
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: that has freed you up to make more plays. I mean,

1828
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:44,719
Speaker 1: the coach is here give me a lot of confidence,

1829
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: and I feed off the confidence. And I wouldn't say

1830
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 1: they're cutting me loose, but they're They're giving me opportunities

1831
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 1: and I've been able to take advantage of them. Jordan,

1832
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: you were part have been a part of the Bill's

1833
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 1: regular defensive line rotation since you got here a year ago.

1834
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: This year, I wonder how much that change when Harrison

1835
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:03,639
Speaker 1: Phillips got hurt. Did you find more snaps and maybe

1836
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,600
Speaker 1: more opportunities to get out there and do things. I

1837
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:08,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that because me and Ed are the ones

1838
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 1: at rotating with each other, so you know, all of

1839
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 1: us are a real cohesive unit inside, and we just

1840
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: whenever somebody else gets tired with, somebody else rolls in

1841
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: and it's just kind of worked out. The rotation is healthy, though.

1842
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: I mean they still even without Harrison, right, Pecko's in

1843
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 1: there a lot now, right, Yeah, Kyle's a heck of

1844
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 1: a player as well. I can't speak for the upstairs

1845
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: where I'm sure they had a hard time not for

1846
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: him being on practice squad to get to start the season.

1847
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 1: So there's no drop off between him and Harrison, you know,

1848
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 1: it's it's nice having him in the room. I think

1849
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 1: I know the answer this question. I'm gonna ask anyway,

1850
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 1: so you can answer it for fans everybody out Here's

1851
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: this trade deadline's coming up, and tell us how the

1852
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: attitude of your locker room about whether the Bills needed

1853
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: to make a trade or whether they don't. Tell us

1854
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,439
Speaker 1: the attitude of the players in the locker room towards

1855
01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 1: a trade being made. Honestly, I haven't even thought about it.

1856
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we have who we want on locker room,

1857
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: we have who we need to win, and once again,

1858
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,519
Speaker 1: that's above my pay grade to make those decisions. But

1859
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:07,600
Speaker 1: as far as I know, we're happy where you know,

1860
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 1: we got who we need. Tell me about the Tennessee game.

1861
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 1: You're kind of a breakout game going in. What did

1862
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 1: you think about that game that did you have a

1863
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 1: premonition that might be a big afternoon for you? I didn't. Actually,

1864
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 1: I played against the Titans a lot, and I haven't

1865
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: had that much success against him. I normally played pretty well,

1866
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: but I've never had three sacks before in my career.

1867
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 1: So there it was, and it looked like you were

1868
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: having fun. Usually you have fun o the field, but

1869
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 1: that game in particular, looked like you were having fun.

1870
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 1: It's always a great time playing out there, especially when

1871
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,519
Speaker 1: the fans were on yeah crazy, I mean, it would

1872
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 1: seemed like a home game. It was. It was a

1873
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 1: great time. And then the players they have on the

1874
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: other sides that it gets chippy, especially with them, and

1875
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 1: that makes the guy even more fun. And the one

1876
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:51,720
Speaker 1: guy the tackle got a little chippy before during in

1877
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:55,360
Speaker 1: after it appeared right, yeah, yeah, law right, Yeah, Taylor.

1878
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. Yeah, promiss from what I've heard

1879
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:03,719
Speaker 1: about him, or actually actually yeah, he gets a little

1880
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 1: hippy on the field, and it makes it, like I said,

1881
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,560
Speaker 1: it makes a game a lot more fun. Yeah, you

1882
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 1: came out and he came out of the thing. There

1883
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,879
Speaker 1: was a chirping contest back and forth between the offensive

1884
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:15,880
Speaker 1: line or off their offensive line and some of you

1885
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,720
Speaker 1: guys on defense, and he kind of ganged up. He

1886
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 1: said something about somebody, and then all the guys gang

1887
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:22,600
Speaker 1: kind of ganged up on him on Twitter. It was

1888
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:24,680
Speaker 1: kind of kind of funny to see. I didn't see

1889
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:26,679
Speaker 1: anybody coming to his aid on his side. Did that happen?

1890
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you about, you know, I think Ed

1891
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,400
Speaker 1: said it earlier. When when you get one of us,

1892
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:33,720
Speaker 1: you get all of us. And that's the best thing

1893
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 1: about our locker room. It doesn't matter what it is,

1894
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter where it's at. If we're together, we're gonna

1895
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: get you. This past Sunday, you made a great play

1896
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 1: coming out of the end zone. You got Fitzpatrick tackle

1897
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 1: for a loss to set up the touchdown of the

1898
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: interception by Tradevious White. And I got to ask you

1899
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 1: as well that they're often you knew going in there,

1900
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: probably that Ryan Fitzpatrick is problem at quarterback. He's a

1901
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 1: really sharp guy and whatever's there he's gonna take and

1902
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna get so knew that, well, I mean, he

1903
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,120
Speaker 1: was gonna give their best effort. Yeah, I mean, Fitz

1904
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: is a fifteen year vet. He's went to Harvard. He's

1905
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 1: a smart guy. He's obviously he's been in the league

1906
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 1: for fifteen years. He knows what he's doing. Uh, as

1907
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: soon as they made that quarterback change, we knew it

1908
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 1: was going to be a lot more difficult of a game.

1909
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:19,599
Speaker 1: And he does He's either gonna throw for four hundred

1910
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:22,519
Speaker 1: or throw four picks. And you know, he had another

1911
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 1: one of those good games. And nobody was surprised about it,

1912
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 1: besides the people that didn't know what he could do.

1913
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:28,760
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about the play, but it

1914
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 1: was a huge sack two plays before, I believe two

1915
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:34,920
Speaker 1: plays before Trude devious interception, But it wasn't a sack.

1916
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:38,120
Speaker 1: Right then, they what's all that? We're turning it in now?

1917
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 1: So hopefully they'll they'll change serve that sack. Yeah, I hope.

1918
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: So what is he gonna do? He wasn't gonna run it, No,

1919
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:45,720
Speaker 1: he was going back to pass. Yeah. How did you

1920
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 1: burst through there so quickly? Though? What happened? Was there

1921
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 1: a breakdown up front for the Dolphins or No, it

1922
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: was pretty easy read. They gave me a big a

1923
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 1: gap and I saw Nick O'Leary motion across, and most

1924
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 1: time when that happens, I'm gonna get a wham block,

1925
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:01,400
Speaker 1: which is the full coming back back to get me,

1926
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 1: and I'm posted to run up field. But I just

1927
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: beat them, yeah, clean, So I can easy quick to

1928
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 1: surprise him perhaps, or I think so I do too.

1929
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 1: Give us some early thoughts about the Philadelphia Eagles, where

1930
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 1: they're at and what they look like offensively, Uh, you know,

1931
01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 1: they're explosive. They live off explosive plays. Wentz tries to

1932
01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:23,439
Speaker 1: take shots downfield. They have a great old line. It's

1933
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 1: going to be a big challenge for us this week.

1934
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:26,720
Speaker 1: They have some great receivers as well, and they have

1935
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 1: a heck of a defense, so it's gonna be fun.

1936
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 1: Do you guys, how much do you guys get wrapped

1937
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 1: up in who's going to play for them? Their injuries,

1938
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 1: especially on the offense, A lot of who your exact

1939
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:36,679
Speaker 1: guy as your m They may shuffle it around because

1940
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 1: of the injuries, that kind of thing. I mean, of

1941
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 1: course you take a look at it, but the message

1942
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 1: share is always it's about us. We dictate everything, and

1943
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 1: that's all our mindsets going into It doesn't matter who's playing,

1944
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 1: who isn't playing. We're gonna go do what we do

1945
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 1: this week week, game two of a three game homestant,

1946
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 1: back to back to back. I would guess that you

1947
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:56,679
Speaker 1: love playing at home, maybe more than many of your teammates.

1948
01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: It's just a great place to play, and you seem

1949
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,559
Speaker 1: to enjoy it. I mean, anytime you get the Fins

1950
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 1: into it, it's a it's a different ballgame. It takes

1951
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 1: out the hardcounts they have to go on silent. You

1952
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 1: can get off the ball faster. That just helps a

1953
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 1: defense out a lot. And Jordan, thanks, good luck, thanks

1954
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,360

Speaker 1: the show with us on the line on Friday. Great Cosell,

2007
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:50,000
Speaker 1: you know the drill on Friday. We got a good

2008
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: to talk with Drew. Yeah. Yeah, I've spoken with him

2009
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:58,200
Speaker 1: briefly over the years, but you know he was all

2010
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 1: too brief a time here in Buffalo. Yeah, I agree

2011
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:04,320
Speaker 1: he was. He was fairly effective for a while, and

2012
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 1: then they decided to go the other way to a

2013
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 1: lost man. We might not deal with that. We will

2014
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:10,599
Speaker 1: do him when he thinks about Josh. Josh Allen met

2015
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 1: with the media following today's practice, and here's what the

2016
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:16,120
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback had to say today. I mean, I wouldn't

2017
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 1: say it's frustrating. Obviously, you want to you want to

2018
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 1: hit every throw that you put out there. Um, I

2019
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:23,680
Speaker 1: don't know if we've attempted too many deep passes and

2020
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 1: when we've had him, I you know, I haven't done

2021
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 1: a good, good enough job within the ball where it

2022
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 1: needs to be, um, you know, and it's something we're

2023
01:37:30,040 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: working on. It's something that I don't have any worries

2024
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,720
Speaker 1: or any thoughts about, and that's something that'll be taken

2025
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 1: care of. And um, I got really no doubts on that. So, um,

2026
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, we're just kind of playing that one game

2027
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 1: at a time, trying to get better each and every week.

2028
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 1: I understand the fans want to see the deep ball,

2029
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:47,680
Speaker 1: but uh, you know that's not really the part of

2030
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: the job of the quarterback. You know, we're doing a

2031
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 1: good job moving the chains up there down and converting

2032
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 1: when we need too. So no, that's that's about it.

2033
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: Andrew was sure immediate reaction, and then when he watched

2034
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 1: the film, but when like, yeah, it came out hot

2035
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:04,639
Speaker 1: and um I saw I saw too high and Andre

2036
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 1: made a good read and he was flying and just

2037
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:08,840
Speaker 1: one of those balls where it's one of those split

2038
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 1: section decisions where you gotta find out how much strength

2039
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: you gotta put behind it. And it left a hand.

2040
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:14,960
Speaker 1: I thought it had a chance and got up in

2041
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:16,160
Speaker 1: that wind and the wind kind of took it a

2042
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:20,439
Speaker 1: little bit, and um, you know, obviously hindsights twenty twenty

2043
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 1: and wish we could have it back, But at the

2044
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,640
Speaker 1: end of the day, we got the job done. You know,

2045
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,559
Speaker 1: every situation is different, right, A ready passions throwing half? Yeah,

2046
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:30,680
Speaker 1: the number of factors that hard a flight. Can you

2047
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 1: shore to be light on what's going on? Because I

2048
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: mean your completion percentages up into the sixties. We see

2049
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 1: your overhaul from a fundamental standard calde exploded. Maybe what's

2050
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:44,960
Speaker 1: going right and what's going wrong? Brother too? Um, I

2051
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,559
Speaker 1: mean we've got we've got the concepts in, we've got

2052
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:49,639
Speaker 1: the guys that can run it. Um. Ultimately, it's tough

2053
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:50,760
Speaker 1: to me. We would put the ball where it needs

2054
01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 1: to be put. So you know, I take full responsibility

2055
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 1: for all that. And it's something like I said, we're

2056
01:38:55,960 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 1: working on it and I've got no worries or doubts

2057
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:00,600
Speaker 1: that that it'll be fixed. And we got a lot

2058
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 1: of guys that come in ready to work each and

2059
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 1: every day. And um, so we'll get on some pitch

2060
01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 1: the offense from a look, do you feel like it

2061
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 1: limits the ability to strutch the field? No, not at all. Nope.

2062
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 1: Is there a percentage to that that's still kind of

2063
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,719
Speaker 1: work with in a time to group of live receivers

2064
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 1: or CENTI I mean, I mean, I guess you could

2065
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 1: say that, but at the end of the day, the

2066
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 1: balls in my hand, um, I gotta figure out, you know,

2067
01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:30,840
Speaker 1: angle of departure um, the speed of which the guy's running,

2068
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 1: where they're guys and defenders are at and put the

2069
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 1: ball where it needs to be and allow ourselves to

2070
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 1: got a chance to go make a play. And you know,

2071
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:39,800
Speaker 1: honestly haven't been doing a good enough job with that.

2072
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 1: If I'm getting all these questions, where do you feel

2073
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:47,599
Speaker 1: you are prospect of diagnosi and stuff? Freeski Dave's just refers.

2074
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:50,160
Speaker 1: I know you're diagnosis last week when we get boot

2075
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 1: on the crosser. You change the protection and all that stuff.

2076
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: The time you talk to Chris Simms about your first

2077
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 1: story to get at the Chargets when you said it

2078
01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 1: was a scramble, maybe very you are now where are

2079
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:03,720
Speaker 1: you on that spectrum of diagnoses? Yeah, I mean I

2080
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:06,559
Speaker 1: feel like I've I've seen a good amount of football

2081
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 1: in my first year, and I think being in the

2082
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:14,519
Speaker 1: same system, the same protections understanding, where my answers are understanding,

2083
01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: where I may not be protected, I think that's where

2084
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 1: I've really improved this offseason. I'm not gonna say I'm

2085
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:21,559
Speaker 1: there yet, and there's still a lot to learn, lots

2086
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: to see. You I haven't seen everything in the game

2087
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,599
Speaker 1: of football. I don't think anybody has. But each week

2088
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:28,680
Speaker 1: is going to present a different opportunity, you know, to

2089
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:30,880
Speaker 1: learn a different challenge for me to go up there

2090
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: and make the right protections and can get ourselves in

2091
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 1: a suitable position where we can make a good play.

2092
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:40,439
Speaker 1: Step further, how does that you personally? Just from a

2093
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:44,559
Speaker 1: confidence standpoint of I put the ole the preparation here,

2094
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:46,840
Speaker 1: it is, I'm falling it. I know I'm right kind

2095
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:48,679
Speaker 1: of thing. No, that when you can go back there's

2096
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback and be comfortable and what is called you've

2097
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 1: got a clear vision in your head of what the

2098
01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 1: route concepts look like, and then you know you don't

2099
01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:57,479
Speaker 1: have to worry about the protection. Once you get it

2100
01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 1: right and you know where your answers are, it's you

2101
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:03,640
Speaker 1: to play free, very confident and uh, you know, our

2102
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 1: our front five has been doing a good job of

2103
01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, holding up for protecting um thus far, and

2104
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 1: you know, I don't see any reason that that wouldn't continue.

2105
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:15,679
Speaker 1: Its inconsistent season rolls in game offense through six games,

2106
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 1: if you noticed any sort of adam develop as to

2107
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 1: what maybe the leaves and why those moments are happening.

2108
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 1: You know, we've done a lot of self scouting and UM,

2109
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of shooting ourselves in the foot.

2110
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: Whether it's a mental error, UM, it's me not you know,

2111
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:33,640
Speaker 1: making the right decision at the line of scrimmage, UM,

2112
01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:36,800
Speaker 1: pre snap penalty, something like that. It's really not what

2113
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:40,000
Speaker 1: the other team's doing. UM. You know, we gotta go

2114
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 1: out there, we gotta execute our stuff. You know, we've

2115
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: got a good enough game plan with coach table and

2116
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 1: we're very well coached, and we're smart and tough team. UM.

2117
01:41:47,400 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 1: And I truly believe that. And I think that as

2118
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 1: long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot, UM,

2119
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 1: I make the right decisions, we put the ball in

2120
01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 1: our playmaker's hands. I think that's where we're gonna find

2121
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 1: our success. If you if you clean those things up,

2122
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,640
Speaker 1: how much these how much bigger steps forward do you

2123
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 1: think this offense can take? UM? I mean, and that's

2124
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't really like looking ahead like that. We're just

2125
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 1: trying to prove come out here and get better each

2126
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:11,840
Speaker 1: and every day working on things we need to work on. Um.

2127
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, each game presents a different

2128
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 1: opportunity and different challenge. We got a good one this week,

2129
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:19,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's a really good Eagles defense

2130
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: that we're gonna be playing. Um, So they're gonna be

2131
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 1: up to the task, ready to come into our stadium

2132
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 1: and take what what we want. So we got to

2133
01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:28,680
Speaker 1: be uh, you know, prepared, and we gotta have a

2134
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 1: good game plan for this. We can go out there

2135
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 1: next kill. Yet, when you know you're in a hole

2136
01:42:33,880 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 1: of the games on the line and that sort of thing,

2137
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 1: you collectively, as a group, we're able to kind of

2138
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:41,599
Speaker 1: flip that switch. What goes into that and what prevents

2139
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 1: it from happening. You know. It's yeah, it's not like

2140
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: somebody's up there giving a raw, raw speech and get

2141
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:50,680
Speaker 1: getting everybody inspired. It's it's collectively, we just kind of

2142
01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:52,760
Speaker 1: look at each other and it's time. It's time to

2143
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 1: like get to business here. Um. So our defense has

2144
01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 1: been doing a good job. They're doing a great job

2145
01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 1: over there. You guys are you guys are awesome. Guys

2146
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 1: are awesome. Now they've been in a good doing a

2147
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 1: good job of keeping us in the game. We've been

2148
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:07,479
Speaker 1: able to kind of execute in the fourth quarter. And

2149
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 1: I think let's do to the preparation that we have,

2150
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,880
Speaker 1: how we practice all the situations that coach Muderma gives

2151
01:43:12,920 --> 01:43:14,960
Speaker 1: us in practice. And it's just a group of men

2152
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 1: that we have. We truly do have a special group

2153
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:19,640
Speaker 1: here and um, you know, we care about each other.

2154
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 1: We lean on each other, and that's I think that's

2155
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 1: when it matters most. In the fourth week, one sean

2156
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:27,439
Speaker 1: said that the team wasn't looking to develop an identity.

2157
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 1: Elementary Sixty's so be anywhere, isn't it. Yeah, I definitely

2158
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 1: think we've got an identity. I think we've got a

2159
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:38,680
Speaker 1: lot of room for improvement as well. You know, we

2160
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 1: still haven't played our best game collectively as an offensive unit,

2161
01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:44,040
Speaker 1: um really as a team for that matter. And we're

2162
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 1: sitting at five and one, and you know, we feel

2163
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 1: good about what we've done, but we don't feel complacent

2164
01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 1: or good enough of what we want to be and

2165
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:54,760
Speaker 1: where we want to go. So um, you know, like

2166
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: I said, each week, we get to learn and grow

2167
01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:58,640
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be no different this week. We're just

2168
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 1: trying to tack it one game at a time. Seems

2169
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,680
Speaker 1: to be a team that we're saying, rally's in a

2170
01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:07,799
Speaker 1: four reporters. That part of this Ye, that's our identity

2171
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:10,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna play close games and then

2172
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 1: we believe that we're gonna pull it out. Yeah, this

2173
01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 1: is a team that's gonna play for sixty minutes. Um,

2174
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 1: We're tough, we're gritty, you know, we're buffalo. Um. I

2175
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 1: think coach, our front office, you know, being and and

2176
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 1: Joe have done a good job of putting the pieces

2177
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:26,519
Speaker 1: around us, and just a really good collective group of

2178
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:28,640
Speaker 1: men that really care about each other and what we do.

2179
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 1: Where on the issue of ball security, because I mean,

2180
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: you have the one bad roll against Tennessee maybe we

2181
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:39,840
Speaker 1: should have made or the game. How do you feel

2182
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:45,439
Speaker 1: you're as a group and maybe you individually. Yeah, I mean,

2183
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:47,639
Speaker 1: you know, last two games have been better. Um, obviously

2184
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 1: the one in Tennessee is still bad decision, bad throw

2185
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:53,600
Speaker 1: on my part. Um, But I feel like, you know,

2186
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 1: it's still something that we've got to be very aware of.

2187
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 1: It's a it's a very concerned effort of taking care

2188
01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,560
Speaker 1: of the football and we actually know the statistics of

2189
01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:06,559
Speaker 1: when you know, this league is very um ball security driven.

2190
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,680
Speaker 1: You know, you don't turn the ball over, you give

2191
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 1: yourself a chance for better success. There is a field

2192
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 1: third down conversion of the last game and afterwards he

2193
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:26,520
Speaker 1: said this competitive nature probably got the bestket ya as

2194
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 1: And as much as people want to say that, I

2195
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:32,639
Speaker 1: love that. I love that as as a football player,

2196
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:34,840
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, how much he cares, how much he

2197
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,040
Speaker 1: wants the ball, you know, on a third down call

2198
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:40,040
Speaker 1: like that, Um, he's someone that's got a lot of

2199
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 1: trust in me. I've got an extreme amount of trust

2200
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 1: in him that's going to continue to grow and continue

2201
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:46,880
Speaker 1: to get better. He's a very smart, savvy football player.

2202
01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 1: He finds a way to get open. Um. He's a

2203
01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 1: great teammate. You know, I don't think there's anybody on

2204
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 1: this team that can say a foul word on what

2205
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:54,800
Speaker 1: Coal is and who he is as a person, how

2206
01:45:54,840 --> 01:45:56,840
Speaker 1: he plays this game. So he's one of those guys,

2207
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 1: like I've said, that's humongous for us in the locker room. Uh,

2208
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:01,800
Speaker 1: to be in that receiver room and be a leader, um,

2209
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:03,120
Speaker 1: and then to go out there and you know, where's

2210
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:06,200
Speaker 1: emotions on a sleeve. You know, Uh, there's not much

2211
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:08,559
Speaker 1: more that you can ask there for that because that's

2212
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:12,560
Speaker 1: who you are. Yeah. Absolutely, So as a quarterback, do

2213
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:16,479
Speaker 1: you go against the corners on the other teams defensive?

2214
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 1: Look does a player like that to an opposing quarterback?

2215
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:23,640
Speaker 1: And obviously you're just speaking to the teammate, Yeah, but

2216
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 1: like going against the guy. Well, it's it's not just Trey. Obviously,

2217
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:29,840
Speaker 1: we know how great of a player Trey is and

2218
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:32,639
Speaker 1: how how great he's been, But it's that whole defensive unit.

2219
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: You know, the safeties, you know, Mike Unpo and then

2220
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:36,960
Speaker 1: you got Leave on the other side, you got Tarn

2221
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 1: and Kevin play inside. Then you got you know, those

2222
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 1: linebackers in the middle, Milano and uh Tremaine and what

2223
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:45,560
Speaker 1: Zoe does and he's always you know, hopping back and

2224
01:46:45,640 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 1: forth and in the front flour there. So it's a

2225
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:49,680
Speaker 1: collective group, you know. And to be able to go

2226
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:52,639
Speaker 1: against them in training camp, um, and to be able

2227
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:55,080
Speaker 1: to you know, compete against them each and every day

2228
01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 1: and try to try to get better. Um, it's very fun,

2229
01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 1: you know because iron Sharpern's iron. So the better they are,

2230
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:03,640
Speaker 1: the better they make us and vice versa, so umb

2231
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:05,760
Speaker 1: we got them. There's a lot to like about what

2232
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:08,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I'll tell you, and Steve and I probably

2233
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 1: fall into the category of, oh, you guys love him

2234
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:12,479
Speaker 1: too much. A couple of things, A couple of observations

2235
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 1: I want to make. Steve may I may make an

2236
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 1: observation the question, and it was a legitimate question. Cole

2237
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:21,439
Speaker 1: Beasley was visibly upset in the third quarter of the

2238
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:23,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins game that Josh missed him. He was open. I

2239
01:47:24,040 --> 01:47:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, the radio booth, you could see he was open.

2240
01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 1: The ball didn't come his way, and Beasley kind of

2241
01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:30,719
Speaker 1: chucked his helmet coming to the sideline. Josh just asked

2242
01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 1: about it. Now, some young quarterbacks, some twenty three year

2243
01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 1: old quarterbacks might uh, you know, they might take offense

2244
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: at that. They might say, well, yeah, I don't like that,

2245
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:43,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I have it out with them. No,

2246
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:45,520
Speaker 1: Josh said, I like that. I like to see that competitiveness.

2247
01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:47,479
Speaker 1: I like to see that fire. He wants a ball

2248
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 1: on third down. I like that. That is so mature

2249
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,040
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen to say that. It really is. I

2250
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:54,719
Speaker 1: can think of some younger quarterbacks. I won't name anybody

2251
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:58,519
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, maybe twenty three years old, maybe twenty eighteen

2252
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 1: draft picks in the first round, maybe playing you know,

2253
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 1: one hundred miles down the road west of us, who

2254
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 1: might not like that, who might say, hey, don't show

2255
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 1: me up. You're showing me up. Yeah, I missed you.

2256
01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:09,160
Speaker 1: Don't do that. No, Josh, you're saying, I like that.

2257
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 1: I like to see that kind of competitive fire. I

2258
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 1: just like the fact that Josh says that maturity at

2259
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:16,760
Speaker 1: a very young age to say, yeah, I saw it,

2260
01:48:16,880 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 1: and I know I missed him, and I'm glad that

2261
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 1: he's upset I didn't get him the ball. Yeah. I

2262
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 1: love that Josh thinks that way. Yeah, and there's nothing

2263
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:26,920
Speaker 1: He's old enough and mature enough to also know that

2264
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 1: that stuff happens on game day without it being personal,

2265
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, Cole Bees. He's not saying, hey, put Matt

2266
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:35,720
Speaker 1: Barkley in the game because I don't want to play

2267
01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:38,479
Speaker 1: with this guy anymore. He's saying, we missed a shot there,

2268
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:40,600
Speaker 1: and we gotta make we gotta hit our shots to

2269
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:44,000
Speaker 1: win these games. He's frustrated. He's frustrated that, you know,

2270
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:45,600
Speaker 1: you work hard to get open on a route and

2271
01:48:45,640 --> 01:48:47,640
Speaker 1: the ball goes your way, or it goes incomplete to

2272
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:50,200
Speaker 1: a guy who was covered and you're standing there by yourself. Yeah,

2273
01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:52,600
Speaker 1: it is frustrating, and a little bit of it is

2274
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 1: a ability, and I don't want to go you know too,

2275
01:48:56,200 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, two deep down the rabbit hole here. But

2276
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:02,960
Speaker 1: I could see scenarios. It's the best way to communicate

2277
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,680
Speaker 1: with your quarterback by throwing your helmet down, strow him

2278
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 1: how frustrated you are. Frustration breeds attention, and when your

2279
01:49:10,479 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 1: quarterback's over there and he says, well, what's going on

2280
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: over there, and you know, get a chance to look

2281
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 1: at it, and he says, yeah, all right, you're you

2282
01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:18,599
Speaker 1: know what, You're right, And next time you get your look, yeah,

2283
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback, you know, he understands. He goes, you're frustrated

2284
01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 1: over there because you're winning and he's not looking at you.

2285
01:49:25,640 --> 01:49:28,160
Speaker 1: The quarterback I played with was notorious for that. We'd

2286
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:29,640
Speaker 1: be in a film room watching a game and Jim

2287
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:32,080
Speaker 1: would sit there and he'd be watching the guy, not

2288
01:49:32,160 --> 01:49:33,680
Speaker 1: the guys that he threw the ball too. He'd be

2289
01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:36,080
Speaker 1: watching the guys he didn't throw the ball too, to

2290
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:38,720
Speaker 1: see if there was a better option. And when he

2291
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:41,639
Speaker 1: saw you could see him on the game days after

2292
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:43,640
Speaker 1: seeing it, going through that where he would look at

2293
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 1: guys because he knows they've been winning consistently and he

2294
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 1: didn't trust him yet or he didn't know that yet,

2295
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:51,519
Speaker 1: and he'd throw him the football. It's a way that

2296
01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:56,639
Speaker 1: receivers and athletes communicate to each other through their body language,

2297
01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:59,400
Speaker 1: through their through conversations in the film room, and certainly

2298
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 1: on game. Uh, in a game like that, you let

2299
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 1: all that stuff's like water off a duck's back to

2300
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:08,080
Speaker 1: Josh ain't gonna lose his mind over somebody throwing their

2301
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,679
Speaker 1: helmet when he didn't throw them the football on third down.

2302
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:13,679
Speaker 1: But he certainly hears it, and he's like, okay, I'll

2303
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'll keep my eyes open if I see

2304
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:19,439
Speaker 1: I'm giving it the ball. So it's there. That's about

2305
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: as deep as it goes emotionally. It's not like their

2306
01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:24,840
Speaker 1: relationship is damaged. It's communication, and that's the way guys

2307
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 1: do it, particularly when the intensity's ratcheted up like it

2308
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: is on games. I just want to give Josh credit

2309
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 1: an earlier yea for being like that. That's all. No, No,

2310
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:38,360
Speaker 1: it's unusually the way he handled it. It's not unusual

2311
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:40,800
Speaker 1: what Cole Beasley did, right. You see guys doing that

2312
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 1: all the time, and you see guys get into well

2313
01:50:43,200 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 1: nowadays you see it more than every because everybody has

2314
01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 1: cameras on the sidelines now, but it has happened since

2315
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of football. Guys get frustrated the way things

2316
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:53,280
Speaker 1: are going, and they have it out on the sidelines,

2317
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 1: or they throw a tantrum and they do something because

2318
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 1: nobody's listening to him, right, so they finally get some attention,

2319
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:01,719
Speaker 1: and then that's it. That's the safety valve. The pressure

2320
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:03,799
Speaker 1: is released. Okay, let's go play. I thought Josh handled

2321
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:06,479
Speaker 1: that great and it also handled like a flurry of

2322
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:09,880
Speaker 1: early questions in that news conference about forty minutes ago

2323
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 1: about the struggles that they've had, and yeah, they did

2324
01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:14,560
Speaker 1: struggle early in the game. You know, we talk a

2325
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 1: lot about the fourth quarter comebacks. Josh has not been perfect,

2326
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 1: not been near perfect in his place so far this year,

2327
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:23,760
Speaker 1: but he handled all of those questions. Laughed about it

2328
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 1: a little bit, right. I just think that everybody's talking

2329
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 1: about the long ball stiff and the long ball questions too.

2330
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:30,600
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. You'd like to see it.

2331
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:34,120
Speaker 1: They'll they'll continue to try, I think, and just keep it.

2332
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:36,720
Speaker 1: That's a low percentage pass and the Bills are on

2333
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:38,600
Speaker 1: the low end of the percentage now because it's a

2334
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 1: low percentage pass that a ninety eight yard touchdown pass

2335
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 1: last week. You can have a ninety eight yard twelve

2336
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:48,479
Speaker 1: play touchdown drive that takes off six and a half

2337
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:51,760
Speaker 1: minutes of game clock with the number two or three

2338
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:55,600
Speaker 1: defense in the National Football League, or you can have

2339
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:58,120
Speaker 1: a one play ninety eight yard touchdown passing put their

2340
01:51:58,200 --> 01:51:59,920
Speaker 1: offense back on the field with more time to win.

2341
01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Look, that's fine. I mean, I get it.

2342
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:05,720
Speaker 1: I got it. There's room for improving us fun to watch.

2343
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:07,840
Speaker 1: I get it. And they would love to be hitting

2344
01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:09,720
Speaker 1: these long balls and then they're missing on a number

2345
01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:11,439
Speaker 1: of them where these guys are getting behind him and

2346
01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 1: they don't like it. But they're working on it now.

2347
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 1: Josh even said it. He said, listen, it's on me.

2348
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:17,840
Speaker 1: I gotta execute it better. I gotta put a little

2349
01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:19,439
Speaker 1: more air on the ball here, a little less on

2350
01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:21,799
Speaker 1: the ball there. You know, they get it. He handles

2351
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 1: it well, that's my point. He's asked about the only

2352
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:32,840
Speaker 1: interception he's made in the last two games and right, hey,

2353
01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:35,320
Speaker 1: what do you think? Trade deadline six days away? How

2354
01:52:35,439 --> 01:52:37,680
Speaker 1: badly do the Bills need to make a trade? We

2355
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:40,599
Speaker 1: haven't checked up on Twitter yet. That's our Twitter question

2356
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 1: of the day and we put it out there for

2357
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:44,880
Speaker 1: you to answer. Do you think they need badly to

2358
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:47,240
Speaker 1: make a trade? We know what's happening around the AFC,

2359
01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:50,599
Speaker 1: we know the landscape has changed even since the season began,

2360
01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 1: uh six seven weeks ago, and the Bills are off

2361
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:55,000
Speaker 1: to a good start. So does that mean they should

2362
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:56,880
Speaker 1: make a trade? Do they owe it to their fans,

2363
01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:59,439
Speaker 1: their players to make a trade? On Twitter, the trade

2364
01:52:59,479 --> 01:53:02,360
Speaker 1: deadlines six days away? How badly do the Bills need

2365
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 1: to make a trade. We've got a lot of response

2366
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:07,000
Speaker 1: on this and it's pretty one sided. Eleven hundred votes

2367
01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:09,880
Speaker 1: so far, and most of you heavy margin seventy eight

2368
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 1: percent say only if it's a deal you cannot pass up.

2369
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:15,439
Speaker 1: I think we'd all go along with that. Seventeen percent

2370
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:17,640
Speaker 1: say badly they need to make a trade badly? This

2371
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:21,000
Speaker 1: is our year. Five percent say not at all. We're

2372
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 1: five and one. Let's hear from you about that. Eight

2373
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty toll free from outside Buffalo one

2374
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty sending a

2375
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:31,960
Speaker 1: tweet and we will read them. And let's do that now.

2376
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:34,839
Speaker 1: From the tweet sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems,

2377
01:53:34,840 --> 01:53:38,479
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. From Mike, he says,

2378
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 1: I chose be to me. This offense is not built

2379
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:43,560
Speaker 1: for the big pass play, and I'm okay with that.

2380
01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:47,000
Speaker 1: Pre snap penalties aside, moving the chains and avoiding third

2381
01:53:47,040 --> 01:53:49,040
Speaker 1: and long is what we'll keep this offense in every game.

2382
01:53:49,360 --> 01:53:53,720
Speaker 1: Beasley knocks Croft. I think he means in Brown can

2383
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:56,320
Speaker 1: get us to eleven plus wins. That's a magic number,

2384
01:53:56,320 --> 01:54:00,760
Speaker 1: eleven eleven plus. I love it, Okay, Steves magic. From Nick,

2385
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:02,640
Speaker 1: he says, in my opinion, the Bills are in need

2386
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:05,679
Speaker 1: of a linebacker defensive end help. Milano's absence was obvious

2387
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:08,680
Speaker 1: in the defense struggles to get sacks. Pressure, yes, but

2388
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:11,160
Speaker 1: no sacks. I'd love to see Von Miller with the Bills.

2389
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:14,600
Speaker 1: I also think I also think just trading Zay and

2390
01:54:14,680 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 1: adding Duke Bean will probably be fine with the wide receivers,

2391
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:21,640
Speaker 1: but if healthy AJ Green would be nice. Yeah, Von

2392
01:54:21,720 --> 01:54:24,200
Speaker 1: Miller and AJ Green? Wow? Any other Hall of Famers

2393
01:54:24,240 --> 01:54:27,840
Speaker 1: you want to add, right, why don't we think aj

2394
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:31,360
Speaker 1: Green von Miller? Yeah, first six of the seven. Yeah,

2395
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 1: I'll take you from NICKI how badly do the Bills

2396
01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 1: need to make a trade? Nikki tweets this, and we

2397
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:38,520
Speaker 1: should not sacrifice a ton for a big name star,

2398
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:41,560
Speaker 1: but we could use help a receiver and offensive line,

2399
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:43,640
Speaker 1: so I'd look for someone we could get with a

2400
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:47,000
Speaker 1: few mid round picks. A solid capable lineman in particular

2401
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:50,080
Speaker 1: would help our in line, which is definitely improved but

2402
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 1: not perfect. Okay, that's reasonable. I get that more assets

2403
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 1: into the offensive line. Listen, better offensive line, the better

2404
01:54:57,640 --> 01:55:00,960
Speaker 1: things are offensively. I know that I am. I'm never

2405
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 1: going to shy away from improving the offensive line if

2406
01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 1: you can get that done, no question. That's a quick question,

2407
01:55:06,080 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 1: all right from Tiffany. Here we go. The way the

2408
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 1: season is unfolding, we have a shot at the playoffs.

2409
01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:13,360
Speaker 1: Adding a weapon not only on offense, but an additional

2410
01:55:13,440 --> 01:55:16,240
Speaker 1: pass rusher would push our d to an elite game

2411
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:20,720
Speaker 1: changing an elite game changing force. Next year's pick, if

2412
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:23,040
Speaker 1: you have to give it up, would most likely be

2413
01:55:23,320 --> 01:55:26,160
Speaker 1: late in any round. I say go for it. Now.

2414
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 1: She's talking a little logic. If the Bills go to

2415
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:31,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they're not going to draft any better than

2416
01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:36,360
Speaker 1: number twenty four in the first round or twentieth in

2417
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 1: the first round. That's top twelve, believe right, Yeah, if

2418
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:41,280
Speaker 1: you're in the playoffs, that's where you're gonna end up.

2419
01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:44,240
Speaker 1: So she thinks that kind of pick late first round

2420
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:46,480
Speaker 1: is worth given up for a player who could make

2421
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:48,920
Speaker 1: a difference in the last half of this year and

2422
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:51,720
Speaker 1: maybe beyond. If it's that kind of contract setup. It's

2423
01:55:51,760 --> 01:55:55,160
Speaker 1: an interesting argument. I hear you. If the guy if

2424
01:55:55,520 --> 01:55:58,040
Speaker 1: for instance, a guy like what Jordan Phillips, who didn't

2425
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:00,320
Speaker 1: work out for his first team. We just had him

2426
01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 1: in here sitting next to me in the studio. A

2427
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 1: guy like Jordan Phillips didn't make it, but he's got

2428
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 1: second round grade and a little maybe even first round talent,

2429
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:10,280
Speaker 1: but he dropped to the second round, flamed out with

2430
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They didn't like him, he didn't like them.

2431
01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:15,400
Speaker 1: The Bills get him for really next to nothing, and

2432
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:18,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden in the last two Yeah, yeah,

2433
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 1: he's got three sacks and a sack for loss of

2434
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:24,640
Speaker 1: force fumble that they almost got. I mean, the guy's

2435
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 1: a force all of a sudden and as he heard.

2436
01:56:26,920 --> 01:56:29,760
Speaker 1: You know, Andy Benoit said he's the best defensive line

2437
01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 1: of the Bills have right now. So that kind of

2438
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:38,360
Speaker 1: addition would be Yeah, that's the definition of a deal

2439
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:40,520
Speaker 1: you can't pass up. That's the definition of a jew

2440
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 1: you cannot pass if you have a strong conviction. I'm

2441
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:46,040
Speaker 1: a guy like Jordan Phillips. Now, if we're talking Calvin

2442
01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:48,520
Speaker 1: Benjamin a trade, a trade deadline deal they made two

2443
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 1: years ago. I mean they were desperate for receivers back then.

2444
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:54,640
Speaker 1: I get it, but you know it, and believe me,

2445
01:56:54,720 --> 01:56:57,600
Speaker 1: there's a crap, you know, a roll of the dice

2446
01:56:57,640 --> 01:56:59,000
Speaker 1: on them in here too, right, a little bit like

2447
01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:01,680
Speaker 1: the draft. Let's right, for that guy, were sure about him? Well,

2448
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about him, right. There's no sure

2449
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:05,880
Speaker 1: things here. There are certain things you do know about

2450
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,400
Speaker 1: him because for most of these guys, particularly if he's

2451
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:13,360
Speaker 1: a young enough player that you guys in this building

2452
01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 1: are the ones with this team who interviewed the guy

2453
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:17,480
Speaker 1: for the draft he came out in for instance, the

2454
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:19,000
Speaker 1: last three years. If a guy came out in the

2455
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:22,040
Speaker 1: last three years, the guys in their building for the

2456
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:23,840
Speaker 1: Bills now are the guys who interviewed him before the

2457
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 1: draft to say, hey, maybe we will take the guy.

2458
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:29,640
Speaker 1: Particularly he's that talented, so you'll have an idea of

2459
01:57:29,760 --> 01:57:33,000
Speaker 1: who he is that way off the field in the

2460
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 1: locker room. But to see him play in an NFL

2461
01:57:36,840 --> 01:57:38,960
Speaker 1: setting for a couple of years also tells you more

2462
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 1: about him, even if it's not for your team. He's

2463
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:45,400
Speaker 1: playing against guys you're playing against, not against Duke or

2464
01:57:45,520 --> 01:57:48,720
Speaker 1: North Carolina. He's playing against the Jets and the Bengals

2465
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 1: and the you know, and the Cowboys. Right, So that's

2466
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:54,120
Speaker 1: there's more extensive knowledge about the guy now than there

2467
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 1: would be otherwise if he's one of these guys like

2468
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:58,520
Speaker 1: a Jordan Phillips or a j Green or what have you.

2469
01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 1: One more from the tweet cheat and a good one

2470
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:03,280
Speaker 1: from Jeremiah. How badly do the Bills need to make

2471
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 1: a trade? Jeremiah says, only for a deal they cannot

2472
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,960
Speaker 1: pass up for an elite pass rusher. They're said at

2473
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:13,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver, he says, hashtag free Robert Foster. There's a

2474
01:58:13,520 --> 01:58:16,240
Speaker 1: movement now to free Robert Foster. Free Robert Foster. I

2475
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:19,920
Speaker 1: don't are they said at wide receiver? I mean AJ

2476
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:22,200
Speaker 1: Green is a it's a difference maker, but I don't

2477
01:58:22,240 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 1: think that's likely to happen. They but without a receiver

2478
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:28,720
Speaker 1: of that caliber, I would say, yeah, they're probably set

2479
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:31,160
Speaker 1: what the best they can do right now, middle of

2480
01:58:31,200 --> 01:58:33,720
Speaker 1: a season at wide receiver. I really do John Brown

2481
01:58:34,400 --> 01:58:37,760
Speaker 1: is a number one caliber wide receiver. He's demonstrated he's

2482
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:39,680
Speaker 1: getting start of the season. You can see it. And

2483
01:58:39,800 --> 01:58:43,280
Speaker 1: I let's all be real and I we we're big

2484
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen supporters here. A little bit of their inability

2485
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 1: to make most of these guys is Josh. Sure, he's

2486
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 1: gotta get Josh. He's gotta get better. He's gotta get

2487
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:54,040
Speaker 1: more accurate on the deep ball. He's got to see

2488
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:56,400
Speaker 1: John Brown when he separates, you know, on one on

2489
01:58:56,480 --> 01:58:58,920
Speaker 1: one coverage. He's you know, it's a little bit on Josh.

2490
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:02,280
Speaker 1: I've said this is the beginning. I think being a

2491
01:59:02,360 --> 01:59:04,840
Speaker 1: great wide receiver in the NFL is more about the

2492
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:07,560
Speaker 1: guy pulling the trigger than it is the guy running

2493
01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:11,240
Speaker 1: the route and catching the ball. You gotta have opportunities.

2494
01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:14,920
Speaker 1: That's why you get and it's in stark it becomes

2495
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:18,400
Speaker 1: starkly apparent when you talk even fantasy football. Everybody talks

2496
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:21,680
Speaker 1: about opportunities touches. Are they gonna get him the football?

2497
01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:23,360
Speaker 1: Is this guy gonna be okay? Are they gonna be

2498
01:59:23,400 --> 01:59:25,640
Speaker 1: lost in the shuffle with all these other great offensive players,

2499
01:59:25,880 --> 01:59:29,040
Speaker 1: who's getting the most chances? It's exactly the same thing

2500
01:59:29,120 --> 01:59:31,640
Speaker 1: that happens when you're talking about how good a wide

2501
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:34,800
Speaker 1: receiver is in your own offense. Can our guy get

2502
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:37,840
Speaker 1: him the football? And certainly in some cases, we've never

2503
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: had a quarterback that can get guys the football. You know,

2504
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:42,280
Speaker 1: it's been a long time. Tyrod Taylor, he wouldn't pull

2505
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:44,680
Speaker 1: the trigger. He felt, you know, it had to be

2506
01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:49,720
Speaker 1: wide open and those windows were rare. Nate Peterman, Yeah,

2507
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:52,080
Speaker 1: he looked great in practice, but in the games the

2508
01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:55,880
Speaker 1: lid came off the guy. So you gotta have a

2509
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:57,720
Speaker 1: guy pulling the trigger if you're gonna get the most

2510
01:59:57,760 --> 01:59:59,320
Speaker 1: out of the guys we've even got on this roster.

2511
01:59:59,400 --> 02:00:01,440
Speaker 1: And I think that on Josh's shoulders a little yep,

2512
02:00:01,440 --> 02:00:04,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. Hey, more on this topic. Do they

2513
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:06,400
Speaker 1: need how badly do they need to make a train

2514
02:00:06,480 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 1: by next Tuesday? We'll talk about that. Plus Steve and

2515
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:12,480
Speaker 1: I got into a little minor spat yesterday about Tom

2516
02:00:12,520 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: Brady Oh yeah about your guaranteeing that he's coming back

2517
02:00:16,320 --> 02:00:18,360
Speaker 1: next year. No, I didn't say that, but I will

2518
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:21,680
Speaker 1: tell you this. Get the tape. Stop stop counting on

2519
02:00:21,840 --> 02:00:24,240
Speaker 1: that guy leaving. Well, let's hear what Brady says. We've

2538
02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:28,560
Speaker 1: And we argued about it yesterday. There's a chance, and

2539
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:30,520
Speaker 1: maybe more of a chance now than there was when

2540
02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:33,320
Speaker 1: the season began, that this could be it for Tom Brady.

2541
02:01:33,360 --> 02:01:35,040
Speaker 1: And let me just don't look at me yet and

2542
02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:39,760
Speaker 1: start yelling I'm listening tently. Today on the radio in Boston.

2543
02:01:40,200 --> 02:01:42,960
Speaker 1: On his radio show on w ee in Boston, Brady

2544
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:46,120
Speaker 1: acknowledged the uncertainty of his future with the franchise. He's

2545
02:01:46,160 --> 02:01:48,040
Speaker 1: in the final year of his contract. We had the

2546
02:01:48,080 --> 02:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter sound bite where Schefter said, look, he's home

2547
02:01:50,600 --> 02:01:53,120
Speaker 1: is up for sale, his trainer's home is up for sale.

2548
02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:56,360
Speaker 1: He's on the last year of his contract. Don't rule

2549
02:01:56,400 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 1: out the chance anyway that Brady might retire. Brady was

2550
02:01:59,800 --> 02:02:03,400
Speaker 1: about it today on his talk show on w EEI

2551
02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 1: radio in Boston. Here's what he said. I don't know,

2552
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:11,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's been a unique situation that you know,

2553
02:02:11,240 --> 02:02:13,680
Speaker 1: I've been in because I think when you commit to

2554
02:02:13,760 --> 02:02:17,280
Speaker 1: a team, you know for a certain amount of years,

2555
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:21,440
Speaker 1: you kind of feel like your responsibilities to always fulfill

2556
02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:24,360
Speaker 1: the contract. I mean, you know, for me, I'm just

2557
02:02:25,840 --> 02:02:27,680
Speaker 1: it's been good because I'm just taking a day by

2558
02:02:27,800 --> 02:02:29,920
Speaker 1: day and I'm joining what I have and I don't

2559
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:33,360
Speaker 1: know what the future holds. And the great part is,

2560
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, for me, football at this point is all

2561
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:39,920
Speaker 1: barrow of time. And I never expected to play twenty

2562
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:43,640
Speaker 1: years and I'm playing on a great team, and you know,

2563
02:02:44,480 --> 02:02:47,640
Speaker 1: it's just been a incredible twenty years of my life

2564
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:50,720
Speaker 1: to play for mister Kraft and Jonathan and the Craft

2565
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:53,640
Speaker 1: family and to coach Belichick and to have so much

2566
02:02:53,680 --> 02:02:56,840
Speaker 1: success to dream come true. So I don't, you know,

2567
02:02:56,960 --> 02:02:58,680
Speaker 1: one day I'll wake up and I feel like, okay,

2568
02:02:58,760 --> 02:03:01,840
Speaker 1: that that would be enough. And when that day comes,

2569
02:03:02,080 --> 02:03:03,920
Speaker 1: that day comes, and I don't know what it would

2570
02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:06,560
Speaker 1: be after this year, you know, I don't know what

2571
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:09,560
Speaker 1: it will be five years from more. He didn't close

2572
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:12,440
Speaker 1: the door. Your thoughts, please, What are your thoughts? What

2573
02:03:12,480 --> 02:03:15,320
Speaker 1: are my thoughts are? It could happen, It could happen,

2574
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:18,040
Speaker 1: And the outcome of this season for the Patriots I

2575
02:03:18,080 --> 02:03:21,000
Speaker 1: think matters too. They win another Super Bowl championship, he

2576
02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:24,400
Speaker 1: would probably think, Man, I'm feeling old. It's hard to

2577
02:03:24,480 --> 02:03:26,480
Speaker 1: put this back together again every year. Look at the

2578
02:03:26,520 --> 02:03:29,120
Speaker 1: moves they've had to make. Where without Rock? Now, who

2579
02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:31,200
Speaker 1: knows his next to go? Yeah, it could happen. That's

2580
02:03:31,200 --> 02:03:35,040
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. Your thoughts, please. You guaranteed basically yesterday

2581
02:03:35,120 --> 02:03:37,280
Speaker 1: it would not. I don't say it will. I think

2582
02:03:37,480 --> 02:03:39,480
Speaker 1: yesterday it was guaranteed. When you hear him talk, what

2583
02:03:39,520 --> 02:03:41,880
Speaker 1: do you think? Right? No, you did, you said, don't

2584
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:44,640
Speaker 1: count on it. It's not don't count I think it could. Listen,

2585
02:03:44,720 --> 02:03:48,120
Speaker 1: his contracts up. You don't think he's a He's not

2586
02:03:48,280 --> 02:03:52,720
Speaker 1: posturing for a contract. You think he played somewhere. Maybe

2587
02:03:52,800 --> 02:03:57,520
Speaker 1: that's simple. Yeah, you think a guy like Tom Brady's

2588
02:03:57,520 --> 02:04:00,640
Speaker 1: played twenty years, won all these championships, wants to squeeze

2589
02:04:00,640 --> 02:04:01,960
Speaker 1: out another couple of years. He wants to go back

2590
02:04:01,960 --> 02:04:03,720
Speaker 1: and maybe play in front of the hometown team. Maybe

2591
02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:06,480
Speaker 1: he wants to go over. Him and Garoppolo are good buddies.

2592
02:04:06,480 --> 02:04:08,000
Speaker 1: He goes, you know what, I'll come over to San Francisco.

2593
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I'll sit on the bench and let you guys win,

2594
02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:11,680
Speaker 1: help you win a champion. You think Tom Brady would

2595
02:04:11,680 --> 02:04:13,640
Speaker 1: do that? Why wouldn't he because he wouldn't want to

2596
02:04:13,680 --> 02:04:18,160
Speaker 1: sit on the bench. How do you know that? I

2597
02:04:18,280 --> 02:04:20,280
Speaker 1: am a pretty good feeling he would that would not

2598
02:04:20,520 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 1: He would not be up for that. He's pretty damn competitive.

2599
02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Thirty and three against the Bills. That's got a beautiful

2600
02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:28,160
Speaker 1: family who loves him, and he got a family back

2601
02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:30,720
Speaker 1: in California around the San Francisco area. A more reasons

2602
02:04:30,720 --> 02:04:33,800
Speaker 1: to just walk away. Yeah, I played for the hometown team,

2603
02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:36,160
Speaker 1: and I'm just saying that. I'm not saying it'll happen either.

2604
02:04:36,240 --> 02:04:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying that's something he could say might happen in

2605
02:04:39,280 --> 02:04:42,520
Speaker 1: order to get another contract another year. Yeah, I don't know.

2606
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Put his hat a home on the market. I mean

2607
02:04:45,160 --> 02:04:48,680
Speaker 1: sounds that's significant. One of his homes on the market. Yeah,

2608
02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:51,360
Speaker 1: there you go, and his trainers got his home on

2609
02:04:51,440 --> 02:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the market. Significant. All I'm saying is I wouldn't rule

2610
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:58,160
Speaker 1: it out. I would not release forty two. So he

2611
02:04:58,200 --> 02:05:00,000
Speaker 1: can't rule it out, you right, you rule it out

2612
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:03,200
Speaker 1: out yesterday. Everything's on the table. We don't know what's

2613
02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:04,720
Speaker 1: going to happen, but I don't I don't think the

2614
02:05:04,760 --> 02:05:07,200
Speaker 1: guy's leaving all right, I don't think Robert Kraft, if

2615
02:05:07,240 --> 02:05:09,800
Speaker 1: he wants Robert Kraft, will not let him go to

2616
02:05:09,880 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 1: another team. And if he knows that you just said

2617
02:05:12,080 --> 02:05:15,800
Speaker 1: he might go to the Niners, let me finish. Robert

2618
02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:17,480
Speaker 1: Kraft is not going to let him go to another team.

2619
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:19,400
Speaker 1: I think Tom Brady knows that, and I think he says,

2620
02:05:19,400 --> 02:05:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm willing to go to a backup in San Francisco

2621
02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:23,720
Speaker 1: if I don't get the right number from the Patriots,

2622
02:05:23,800 --> 02:05:25,840
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft will given the right number. If your body

2623
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:30,120
Speaker 1: language indicates that I'm just I'm just pretty setting stone,

2624
02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:33,000
Speaker 1: that I'm not your setting stone. I am not counting

2625
02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady out of next season for the New England

2626
02:05:34,920 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 1: Patriots until somebody drives a stake through his heart. Okay,

2627
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:40,320
Speaker 1: your body language tells us you're setting stone. I am.

2628
02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:42,760
Speaker 1: This is my body language right here, solid as a rock,

2629
02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:45,920
Speaker 1: my arms folded across my chest, not willing to listen

2630
02:05:45,960 --> 02:05:47,760
Speaker 1: to any looking at you dead in the eye, telling

2631
02:05:47,800 --> 02:05:51,400
Speaker 1: you you're nuts. I'm not nuts. Don't get your hopes up.

2632
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:54,440
Speaker 1: That's part of it, I know part of it. We

2633
02:05:54,520 --> 02:05:56,280
Speaker 1: gotta get an NFL true or false. Brought to you

2634
02:05:56,320 --> 02:05:59,080
Speaker 1: by Yancey's fancy New York's artists and cheese. John Payton

2635
02:05:59,200 --> 02:06:01,480
Speaker 1: is the NFL coach of the year so far. True false.

2636
02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:05,840
Speaker 1: Let's see yes say false. I think Frank reichs ahead

2637
02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:07,280
Speaker 1: NFL head coach of the year. I think there's a

2638
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,240
Speaker 1: guy who's got an office about one hundred and fifty

2639
02:06:09,280 --> 02:06:10,840
Speaker 1: yards away from here who might want to sound like

2640
02:06:10,880 --> 02:06:12,960
Speaker 1: a hole too. I don't care. I think he's done

2641
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:14,720
Speaker 1: a heck of a job. I think he could be

2642
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:17,000
Speaker 1: coach of the year. Two. Peyton is good. Peyton's got

2643
02:06:17,040 --> 02:06:20,480
Speaker 1: a ton of talent and a team that returns after

2644
02:06:20,560 --> 02:06:22,880
Speaker 1: playing in the championship game. Frank reichs don a great

2645
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:25,240
Speaker 1: job losing Andrew Luck. This coach here has done a

2646
02:06:25,240 --> 02:06:27,400
Speaker 1: really good job. So we're both saying false. Yea. Not

2647
02:06:27,480 --> 02:06:29,200
Speaker 1: only that, there's a couple other guys that are kind

2648
02:06:29,200 --> 02:06:30,840
Speaker 1: of probably in the money as well. All right, Anyway,

2649
02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:34,360
Speaker 1: Rogers game versus the Raiders shows that the Packers reset

2650
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:38,920
Speaker 1: was the right call. I'll say yes, I mean the

2651
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:42,160
Speaker 1: coaching change. Coaching change, I will say yes, that's a

2652
02:06:42,240 --> 02:06:44,720
Speaker 1: team that is talented, they're playing with a little bit

2653
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:48,040
Speaker 1: more and they're in vigored by the young coach. I

2654
02:06:48,080 --> 02:06:50,240
Speaker 1: think Aaron Rodgers was the key to the whole scenario.

2655
02:06:50,320 --> 02:06:52,520
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Whether it makes him look

2656
02:06:52,560 --> 02:06:54,720
Speaker 1: like a diva or a coach killer, or maybe he's

2657
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:57,440
Speaker 1: got too much power within the organization aside, it was

2658
02:06:57,480 --> 02:06:59,800
Speaker 1: the right call because it made everything click the right way.

2659
02:07:00,080 --> 02:07:02,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say yes, I think the Packers are

2660
02:07:02,240 --> 02:07:04,280
Speaker 1: back in the saddle as being one of the teams

2661
02:07:04,320 --> 02:07:05,960
Speaker 1: to beat in the NFC. And I think the coaching

2662
02:07:06,080 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 1: change was a big part of it. No matter what

2663
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:10,520
Speaker 1: the reason was, I'm gonna say true as well. I

2664
02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:12,720
Speaker 1: know we're very early in the season things could change,

2665
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:15,040
Speaker 1: but they're after a good start. They appeared to have

2666
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:19,400
Speaker 1: kind of assimilated all these new pieces into their offensive attack.

2667
02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:22,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, the relationship between Rogers and new head coach

2668
02:07:22,280 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur seems to work. And there were intimations during

2669
02:07:25,760 --> 02:07:28,160
Speaker 1: OTA's mini camp and even into training camp that that

2670
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:30,200
Speaker 1: might be a little bit of a tough relationship. It

2671
02:07:30,280 --> 02:07:32,400
Speaker 1: has not been. It looks like it was the right call.

2672
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:35,520
Speaker 1: And finally, NFL true or false, you're ready for this one.

2673
02:07:35,560 --> 02:07:38,440
Speaker 1: It would be beneficial for the Titans to trade away

2674
02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:41,880
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. What do you think? Absolutely true? He's not

2675
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:45,480
Speaker 1: playing and if they can get anything for him, maybe

2676
02:07:45,600 --> 02:07:47,320
Speaker 1: get an asset that'll help him win later on down

2677
02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:48,960
Speaker 1: the road. So yeah, I think so he's not They

2678
02:07:49,120 --> 02:07:51,040
Speaker 1: benched him for Ryan Tannehill, there gonna go with him.

2679
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:55,240
Speaker 1: I think that marks the end of the Marcus Mariota

2680
02:07:56,000 --> 02:07:59,200
Speaker 1: era in Tennessee. And if he's an asset that they

2681
02:07:59,240 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 1: can get anything four it means they won't lose him

2682
02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:04,000
Speaker 1: in free agency and they get at least something for

2683
02:08:04,080 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: the guy. So yeah, it would be beneficial for them

2684
02:08:06,440 --> 02:08:10,000
Speaker 1: to trade him. Although listen, he's a great team he's

2685
02:08:10,040 --> 02:08:12,280
Speaker 1: a great teammate, good person. He's got a lot of

2686
02:08:12,840 --> 02:08:16,400
Speaker 1: great qualities, which is why he was a Heisman Trophy

2687
02:08:16,440 --> 02:08:18,760
Speaker 1: winner and number one overall pick of the draft or

2688
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:21,800
Speaker 1: number two overall pick of the draft. He's got a

2689
02:08:21,880 --> 02:08:25,120
Speaker 1: lot going for him. It didn't work in Tennessee, and

2690
02:08:25,240 --> 02:08:26,600
Speaker 1: there are a lot of coaches out there with an

2691
02:08:26,640 --> 02:08:28,360
Speaker 1: ego that tells him they can get the right things

2692
02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:29,960
Speaker 1: out of him. So we'll see. But I think yes,

2693
02:08:30,040 --> 02:08:32,520
Speaker 1: it is it's time for the Tennessee Ties to move on.

2694
02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:36,560
Speaker 1: The sooner the better, I think. I think so too true. Look,

2695
02:08:36,600 --> 02:08:38,440
Speaker 1: the builds are just there, what three weeks ago, two

2696
02:08:38,480 --> 02:08:40,800
Speaker 1: games ago. I just have a feeling that's a franchise

2697
02:08:41,360 --> 02:08:42,880
Speaker 1: in a bit of a it's no, not a bit,

2698
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:45,200
Speaker 1: it's a mess. It's a mess. I mean, Derrick Henry

2699
02:08:45,320 --> 02:08:47,520
Speaker 1: is like their number one asset. He's really good. Other

2700
02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:49,640
Speaker 1: than that, I don't know what you have to build around.

2701
02:08:50,440 --> 02:08:52,640
Speaker 1: You're certainly not going to build put your pin, your

2702
02:08:52,680 --> 02:08:56,200
Speaker 1: fortin's fortunes on Ryan Tannehill. They've seen enough of Mariota.

2703
02:08:56,240 --> 02:08:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's up to the job. I didn't

2704
02:08:58,000 --> 02:09:00,640
Speaker 1: think that for the last couple of years. That place

2705
02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:04,280
Speaker 1: is a mess. Yes, start rebuild, Tennessee. Get what you can.

2706
02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:06,360
Speaker 1: What could you get for Marcus Mariota, by the way,

2707
02:09:06,760 --> 02:09:09,440
Speaker 1: second rounder? No, I don't even think so. Third round

2708
02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:11,720
Speaker 1: or fourth rounder, fifth or sixth rounder. They're not going

2709
02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:14,560
Speaker 1: to resign him, right, all right? This is the last

2710
02:09:14,640 --> 02:09:17,080
Speaker 1: year of his contract. He's gonna be a free agent.

2711
02:09:17,120 --> 02:09:19,120
Speaker 1: If you the only reason you trade anything for him

2712
02:09:19,200 --> 02:09:20,960
Speaker 1: is because you would you would covet him as a

2713
02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:23,680
Speaker 1: free agent, and you don't want to have to outbid

2714
02:09:23,760 --> 02:09:27,440
Speaker 1: other teams. All right, that's an NFL tour false brought

2715
02:09:27,440 --> 02:09:29,560
Speaker 1: to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's artist and chief

2716
02:09:29,560 --> 02:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Steve and I coming back. One Bill's Live, presented by

2717
02:09:31,560 --> 02:09:34,360
Speaker 1: Klada Health from the Seneca Studios in Orchard Park on

2718
02:09:34,520 --> 02:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Okay, so what do we learn from

2719
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:54,240
Speaker 1: today's show? Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction

2720
02:09:54,280 --> 02:09:56,800
Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. Good show today,

2721
02:09:56,880 --> 02:09:59,640
Speaker 1: Good show, Good show, Field Yates, ESPN, And that's what

2722
02:09:59,720 --> 02:10:06,840
Speaker 1: we say, hey to each other, ESPN. NFL insider Steve

2723
02:10:06,880 --> 02:10:08,760
Speaker 1: asking about the Bills five and one start, Are they

2724
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:11,120
Speaker 1: for real at five and one? Here's what Field Yates

2725
02:10:11,160 --> 02:10:14,520
Speaker 1: had to say. There's a lot of bad teams in

2726
02:10:14,600 --> 02:10:17,200
Speaker 1: the NFL right now, like everybody is going to have

2727
02:10:17,720 --> 02:10:22,480
Speaker 1: their chunk of games against interior opponents. Are the Bills perfect? No?

2728
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Do they have some areas that I think put a

2729
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:28,840
Speaker 1: limit on maybe what their outlook gifts for this year? Yes,

2730
02:10:29,240 --> 02:10:31,520
Speaker 1: but they're five and one. I think, you know, I

2731
02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:33,280
Speaker 1: hate to use the word locks because I don't want

2732
02:10:33,280 --> 02:10:35,760
Speaker 1: to tet upset of expectations, but I view them as

2733
02:10:35,800 --> 02:10:38,200
Speaker 1: a near lock for the playoffs this year, and I

2734
02:10:38,280 --> 02:10:41,920
Speaker 1: think their defense is already championship caliber. So I think,

2735
02:10:41,960 --> 02:10:43,880
Speaker 1: as much as people may want to say, who have

2736
02:10:43,960 --> 02:10:46,480
Speaker 1: they played and you know they barely squeak by the

2737
02:10:46,560 --> 02:10:48,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins last week, do you play the teams that are

2738
02:10:48,880 --> 02:10:50,560
Speaker 1: on your schedule? And at the end of the day,

2739
02:10:50,600 --> 02:10:53,320
Speaker 1: I will take an ugly win over a pretty loss

2740
02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:55,840
Speaker 1: or a moral victory a thousand times out of a

2741
02:10:55,880 --> 02:10:58,320
Speaker 1: thousand in the game of football. We would field Yates

2742
02:10:58,360 --> 02:11:00,760
Speaker 1: join just Jordan Phillips Jones just right off the practice field,

2743
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:03,440
Speaker 1: Bills defensive tackle. We asked him about playing the second

2744
02:11:03,480 --> 02:11:05,800
Speaker 1: of three consecutive home games, how sweet dead is for

2745
02:11:05,840 --> 02:11:08,320
Speaker 1: the Buffalo players, and about going against the Eagles at

2746
02:11:08,360 --> 02:11:13,520
Speaker 1: New Airfield this week. They're explosive, they live off explosive plays.

2747
02:11:14,960 --> 02:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Wentz tries to take shots downfield. They have a great

2748
02:11:17,040 --> 02:11:18,600
Speaker 1: old line. It's gonna be a big challenge for us

2749
02:11:18,640 --> 02:11:20,520
Speaker 1: this week. They have some great receivers as well, and

2750
02:11:20,600 --> 02:11:22,160
Speaker 1: they have a heck of a defense. So it's gonna

2751
02:11:22,160 --> 02:11:23,960
Speaker 1: be fun. And anytime you can get the Fins into it,

2752
02:11:24,880 --> 02:11:27,240
Speaker 1: it's a different ball game. It takes out the hardcounts

2753
02:11:27,600 --> 02:11:28,960
Speaker 1: they have to go on silent. You can get all

2754
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:31,360
Speaker 1: the ball faster. That just helps a defense out a lot.

2755
02:11:32,120 --> 02:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, Totally different from the guy you think you're

2756
02:11:35,400 --> 02:11:37,280
Speaker 1: watching on the field on Sunday, isn't when you get

2757
02:11:37,320 --> 02:11:41,800
Speaker 1: him into your calm, low key, soft spoken, articulate great

2758
02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:44,640
Speaker 1: like you know you turn them loose on Sundays at pokon.

2759
02:11:44,800 --> 02:11:48,240
Speaker 1: How you wait? Yeah? Hey. We had a good Twitter

2760
02:11:48,280 --> 02:11:51,120
Speaker 1: poll today. With the NFL trade deadline six days away,

2761
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:53,560
Speaker 1: we wanted to know how badly do the Bills need

2762
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 1: to make a trade in the next six days. Pretty

2763
02:11:56,480 --> 02:11:59,680
Speaker 1: overwhelming the responding seventy eight percent of you out of

2764
02:11:59,720 --> 02:12:02,160
Speaker 1: eleven one hundred and said only if it's a deal

2765
02:12:02,240 --> 02:12:04,960
Speaker 1: you cannot pass up. No. One wan't argue with that.

2766
02:12:05,280 --> 02:12:07,880
Speaker 1: Seventeen percent say they need to make a trade badly.

2767
02:12:08,040 --> 02:12:10,680
Speaker 1: This is our year. I understand that. Don't agree, but

2768
02:12:10,720 --> 02:12:12,960
Speaker 1: I understand it's six percent say no, not at all.

2769
02:12:13,040 --> 02:12:16,200
Speaker 1: We're five and one. That's good, even though. Look, here's

2770
02:12:16,240 --> 02:12:18,960
Speaker 1: the rarecase D where I think we are illuminated by

2771
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:21,040
Speaker 1: what the fans respond to on Twitter today A little.

2772
02:12:21,080 --> 02:12:23,360
Speaker 1: I feel that, no question, I think they're not out

2773
02:12:23,440 --> 02:12:25,160
Speaker 1: to make a deal at any cost. Most of them

2774
02:12:25,200 --> 02:12:27,040
Speaker 1: they're just saying, listen, if a deal is if it's

2775
02:12:27,040 --> 02:12:30,360
Speaker 1: a deal helps us win, and it's at the right price. Actually,

2776
02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:32,840
Speaker 1: if it's at a cheap price, right, you can't pass

2777
02:12:32,920 --> 02:12:35,560
Speaker 1: it up. Let's do it. And I agree with that

2778
02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:38,120
Speaker 1: a wholeheartedly. And I think that's no different than every

2779
02:12:38,160 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 1: other day of the calendar year. So I don't think

2780
02:12:40,200 --> 02:12:42,600
Speaker 1: if there's any urgency added urgency to make a deal

2781
02:12:42,600 --> 02:12:45,840
Speaker 1: at this point. Production assistant Today, George Blast, Jeff Coltonick Thomas,
