1
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Callida Health. All Right,

2
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: welcome to a Thursday edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

3
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab with you. Steve will be by in just

4
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: a little while. He was detained today for reasons he'll

5
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: explain later, but good to have Mattie back in here

6
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: helping us out today. And some new additions to the

7
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: practice field as Rasul Douglas is taking part in his

8
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: first practice as a Buffalo Bill and so too is

9
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: Lynn Val Joseph signed just this morning. We're in Jersey

10
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 1: number ninety three and out there on the practice field.

11
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know how familiar Bill's fans

12
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: are with him. Second round pick in the twenty ten

13
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: draft and has had a long and successful career with

14
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: a few clubs. Played eight games for the Eagles last

15
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: year as a thirty four year old. He's thirty five.

16
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: But when I tell you, if you talk to other

17
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: linemen in the league, you know, over the years, you know,

18
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: just having picked the brains of people, this guy is

19
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: one of the strongest humans in the NFL over the

20
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: last fifteen years. There are a lot of strong guys

21
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, A lot of guys over three hundred pounds.

22
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: This dude like puts three hundred pound over his head. Yeah,

23
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: weightlifting champion in Florida. Just a naturally strong guy. And

24
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: then once he started a football career and started training

25
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: for a professional career in football, his strength just went

26
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: through the roof. He is pretty much superhuman. So I

27
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: know there was some criticism on social media when the

28
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: announcement came out this morning that the Bills had signed

29
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: him to a contract, Like, oh, thirty five years old?

30
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: Was he have left in the tank. Let's just wait

31
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: and see. Let's just wait and see, And Maddie, we

32
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: listened to head coach Sean McDermott about an hour ago,

33
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: and he did not rule out the possibility of both

34
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Linval Joseph and Rasul Douglas suiting up this week. I

35
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: don't know if it's likely, but I think it's pretty

36
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: telling that here on Thursday he hasn't ruled it out.

37
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, I think that speaks to

38
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: the veteran presence of both of these guys, especially Lynval Joseph,

39
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: to come in here today he suit up for his

40
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: first practice as a Buffalo Bill and have the potential

41
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: to be in the lineup, be in the defensive line

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: rotation for Sunday night. I mean, this guy is going

43
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: into his fourteenth NFL season right now, He's read up

44
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: on a lot of playbooks, He's played for a few teams.

45
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: I think it says a lot about his ability to

46
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: learn another defense quickly, or at least learn enough to

47
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: be able to get into the rotation. And Brandon Bean

48
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: was on WGR earlier this morning and he was talking

49
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: about Linvall's strength and said, this guy is a guy

50
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: like you said. He can squat six hundred pounds and

51
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: that's what we like from him. He's a proven veteran

52
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: and we believe he can be used as a one

53
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: tech run stuffer in this defensive line rotation. We lost

54
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: that with de Kwon Jones not being a part of

55
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: the lineup right now, and we were looking for a

56
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: bigger body guy and he fits that.

57
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: And what that allows the Bills to do is it

58
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: allows them to move Jordan Phillips back to the three

59
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: technique position, which is the more penetrating defensive tackle. He

60
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: had been filled in as a one tech in the

61
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: absence of de Quon for the last three or four games.

62
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: Now he can go back to more of that penetrating position,

63
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: line up behind Ed Oliver and play in that role

64
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: where I think he actually is a more effective player.

65
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: I just think he likes getting after the quarterback rather

66
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: than tying up two linemen and let another guys make plays.

67
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: Jordan's the kind of guy that wants to go and

68
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: make plays by himself. And that's not to say you

69
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: can't do it at the one technique, but at the three.

70
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: It's designed to be a penetrating player. You're schemed to

71
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: get more one on ones, and so I think it

72
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: enhances Jordan Phillips one on one abilities by having Joseph

73
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: to plug in, you know, as chiefly as a run

74
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: stuffer along with Poona Ford. So now that rotation is

75
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: back to the full compliment of players that they've had

76
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: all along. Now how much does he play? Is he

77
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: the rotational guy? We'll have to wait and see, first

78
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: of all, if he's up this week, and then second

79
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: of all, is he going to play a full compliment

80
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: of rotation reps. We'll have to wait and see. Maybe

81
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: not this week, maybe it's next week. But this is

82
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: an important game this week, and if they feel he

83
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: can make that much of a difference, and I don't

84
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: think they would have signed him if they didn't. He

85
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: could be on the field on Sunday night very easily.

86
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, Chris, just about the moves

87
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: that the Bills made around the trade deadline here. What

88
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: do you think of their additions in Leonard Fournette, in

89
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: Linval Joseph and in our new cornerback.

90
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think knowing the constraints under which

91
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean was operating very limited in terms of cap space,

92
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: and even going forward, knowing there are players, young players

93
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: they're probably going to have to pay, you know, in

94
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: the next offseason here, that you had to be careful

95
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: about what you were inheriting on your roster in terms

96
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: of the financials, and so I think that was an

97
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: extra layer that kind of whittled down the pool of

98
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: what the Bills could conceivably go after to enhance the roster.

99
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: The fact that they were able to land Rastaul Douglas,

100
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: I think is almost of coup like proportions because you

101
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: gave up a third. You clearly had to sweeten the

102
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: pot to get Green Bay to part with him. But

103
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: that is a number two corner in this league a

104
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: starting corner and you got that guy here along with

105
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick in exchange for a three, and

106
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: knowing come next March you're probably gonna get a compensatory

107
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: three for the loss of Tremaine Edmunds, you get that

108
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: back anyway. So for my money, that's the best move

109
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: of the bunch, because I think cornerback was the one

110
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: that was the most precariously thin of the defensive positions

111
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: based on the starters they lost. And I think this

112
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: is a guy where in a couple of weeks, if

113
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: you need to start him, you're not losing anything. You

114
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: might even be getting a shade or two better. So

115
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: that's a big ad at the deadline in my estimation. Fournette,

116
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: you know a guy that has a talent level that

117
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: makes you say this guy shouldn't be out on the

118
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: street without a team. But he got all the way

119
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: to mid season before he found a team. And here

120
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: we are, And the thing that impressed me the most

121
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: is how fit this guy is.

122
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, like.

123
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: He remember the last couple of years in Tampa, he

124
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: had a little boiler going like he was about two

125
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: forty five. I don't think he's two thirty right now,

126
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: I think he's like two twenty five. He is rocked up.

127
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: This is as fit as I have seen him in

128
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: some time. That is encouraging to me, he did admit,

129
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: because I know fans are asking, hey, is he gonna

130
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: be up this week? They're gonna elevate him? What are

131
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: they gonna do? He did say. The biggest learning curve

132
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: for him is going to be the past game concept.

133
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: Right.

134
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: They are very different from what he has been accustomed to.

135
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: So he is estimating it's gonna take him about two

136
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: to four weeks to get fully up to speed where

137
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: he feels comfortable in this offensive system. So just hold

138
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: your water on when you may see Leonard Fournette. Obviously,

139
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: if there is an injury at the running back position,

140
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: that could accelerate things. But for a player of this

141
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: talent level to just get him off the street and

142
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: add to your arsenal of backs, I think is a

143
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: very good thing. And this is nothing against Ty Johnson.

144
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: This is just how I kind of see it in

145
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: my mind's eye. I think once Leonard Fournette is ready,

146
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: I think those two players probably flip. I think Ty

147
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: Johnson goes back to the practice squad and Leonard Fournette

148
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: comes up to the roster. This, of course, all considering

149
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: the fact that Damian Harris isn't brought back off ir

150
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: by that point in time. So there are some there

151
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: are some very good options here for the Bills to

152
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: choose from as far as their run game is concerned

153
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: and their offensive backfield is concerned. And then finally with

154
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: Lynval Joseph again, a guy that is out in free agency.

155
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: We understand he's in the twilight of his career, but

156
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: I think for a rotational role he can be effective

157
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: for this team and is an upgrade from what they

158
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: had been relying upon. He is a one technique two

159
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: gapper by trade, and in this defense, he is going

160
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: to give you solid play upfront in terms of preventing

161
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: offensive linemen from climbing to the second level. We talk

162
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: all the time, Maddie about how the two linebackers in

163
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: this defense on average are a little undersized. You've got

164
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: to protect them. They can't have guards climbing to the

165
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: second level and taking them out of the play. And

166
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I think they recognize our run defense has slipped in

167
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: recent weeks since Day Kwon has been out of the lineup.

168
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: It's been down near the bottom of the leak. They

169
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: needed a guy like this to kind of stem the

170
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: tide and get more consistent in that area. You know,

171
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: people are like, how did we lose to the Patriots?

172
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: They lost to the Patriots because they and stop the

173
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: run game, and the Patriots stayed on schedule the whole game.

174
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: I think they only had four third downs of third

175
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: and seven or more because they were running the ball

176
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: so effectively. This guy hopefully stems the tide in that

177
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: area of Buffalo's defense and gets them in more third

178
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: and longs, which then allows the strength of the defense

179
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: to come out the pass rush.

180
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

181
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: The Bills are allowing one hundred and twenty two rushing

182
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: yards per game, that's what they average. Ranks twenty second

183
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and then if you look at yards

184
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: per carry, it's even lower. They're thirty first in the NFL,

185
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: one of the worst teams in the NFL at allowing

186
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: yards per rush. That's at five point one right now.

187
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: The Bengals defense is actually right around there as well.

188
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: They both allow quite a bit of yards per carry

189
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: in the run game. And when you talk about these additions,

190
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: Chris and three guys that were added to this roster.

191
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean was asked about it yesterday. You know, what

192
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 2: are what encourages you or concerns you about this raw

193
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: right now, sitting at five and three, and he said,

194
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: I still believe in this team. Yes we've lost games,

195
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: but it's not like we're getting our doors blown off.

196
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 2: We're losing games by one score, and we've had some injuries,

197
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: and I believe we're still figuring out our identity, and yes,

198
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: we have to clean some things up, but I think

199
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: additions like this to the roster places where there were

200
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: some holes due to injuries. I think says Brandon's point

201
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: even more that he still believes in this group. He knows, Okay,

202
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: we got to tweak something here or there, and if

203
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: we're able to do something like that, I think that's

204
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: gonna make us even better. I think he said at

205
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: some point in the press conference yesterday, I believe these

206
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: moves are going to set us up for more success

207
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: because we're.

208
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: Going to be able to cover some of those holes

209
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: that we had.

210
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: You're sitting here at week nine, halfway point through the

211
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: NFL season. November games, December games, these games start to mean.

212
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: Something now when you're looking at.

213
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: The playoff picture, seating, the AFC East Conference standings, the

214
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: whole thing, and so to be able to get some

215
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: guys on your roster who may not be able to

216
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: help come the first game, but in due time, I

217
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: think says a lot about where this team could go

218
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: as they're starting to get healthier as well.

219
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: Hopefully.

220
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and keep in mind, you know, it's not all

221
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: going to look, you know, like a freshly picked rose

222
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: this first week with these guys trying to blend in

223
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: to the scheme. It's going to take a little bit

224
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: of time. But knowing it is mid season, you would

225
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: hope by the time you get to the last four

226
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: or five weeks of the schedule that the blend has

227
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: taken hold and it looks good and the Bills are

228
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: playing their best football at the end of the season

229
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: with the new pieces that they've added. We've gotten this

230
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: far without mentioning Josh allen status. As we know, he

231
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: did not practice at all yesterday. That was part of

232
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: the plan, and Josh basically explained yesterday at his post

233
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: practice press conference, which we carry live here on One

234
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, that he is feeling a lot better the

235
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: shoulder feels considerably better, and by not practicing yesterday, he

236
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: essentially has given that throwing shoulder a week off. They

237
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: played Thursday night, he hasn't done anything since, so it's

238
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: a week to rest that thing. So the Bills took

239
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: as big advantage as big an advantage as they could

240
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: with this mini buy and extended it even an extra

241
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: day to give that shoulder the rest they believed it

242
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: needed to get it back to a place where it's

243
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: better than it was last week at this time, which

244
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: Josh confirmed. So he says, at this point it's not

245
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: even pain. It's more discomfort, like something doesn't feel quite

246
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: right in there. But it's not like somebody's shoving an

247
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: ice pick into his shoulder. It's not pain like that,

248
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: So that's an encouraging thing. The plan where's, according to

249
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: coach McDermott, was for him to do most everything today.

250
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: We'll see what the designation is when the Thursday injury

251
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: report comes out. Maybe he's just limited because if you

252
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: take off one series in practice you have to be

253
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: listed as a limited participant. So coach McDermott said, he'll

254
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: do most everything. We'll see what the designation is. But

255
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: It's all part of the plan to have him ready

256
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday, and that is the full intention

257
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen, Sean McDermott, the medical team, and the

258
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: athletic training staff. The two players not practicing Baylor Bail

259
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: Inspector and aj Klein, the two linebackers. As we know,

260
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: Specter re injured the hamstring last week against Tampa, so

261
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: he's on the road to recovery again, and then aj

262
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: Klein tweaked his back in practice yesterday, so they're down

263
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: a couple of linebackers. Not that that necessarily affects the

264
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: game day roster those two guys, per se can't have

265
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: another injury at linebacker, otherwise you're gonna be playing three

266
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: safeties even more than maybe you have in the game

267
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: plan to begin with.

268
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to be down another guy. They

269
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: still got Dorian Williams in there and Terrell Bernard and

270
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: Tyrel Dodson who've been out there practice as well as

271
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: Tyler Menikevitch. So they've got some guys, but you don't

272
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: want to lose anybody else at that position group. And

273
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: Josh Allen said yesterday when asked about that injury, he said,

274
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: you know, I wish I could have practiced yesterday, but

275
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: I know it's probably in my best interest to have

276
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: sat out and kind of watched things unfold in terms

277
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: of how practice went. Talk about taking care of your body, sliding,

278
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: making smart decisions, not practicing another one of those smart decisions.

279
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: But if he gets a couple of days of practice.

280
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: Under his belt, I'm sure Josh will be just fine

281
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: for Sunday night.

282
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: So those are your bills practice updates. They're presented by

283
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Lee Coom Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. We also

284
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: want to remind you today is Thursday, and for those

285
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: that listen regularly to the show, you know Thursdays are

286
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: the days that the Football Relationship Hotline is here to

287
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: serve you. It's football viewing season. Football is your top priority,

288
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: we understand, so some times things like your relationships, your spouse,

289
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,320

290
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: viewing habits. Steve and I, along with Maddie are experts

292
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: dilemma with your football viewing priorities, we're here to help. So,

293
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: whether it's a birthday party that is scheduled for the

294
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: evening this weekend. Let's just say somebody's having at fiftieth

295
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: birthday party and they've decided to schedule it for Sunday

296
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: at seven pm. What the hell are you doing? So

297
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: we're here to give you an answer on that and

298
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: find a work around and a suitable solution so you

299
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: don't tick off the people that are expecting you and

300
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: you still get your football viewing, in which, as we know,

301
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: is priority number one. We've had a host of different

302
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: scenarios over the last several weeks from people. We've even't

303
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: had people Mattie call back in and let us know

304
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: how everything went. We've gotten some like recaps of how

305
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: our advice played out, most of it for the good good,

306
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: most of it for the good. The one I am

307
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: most worried about. We had this guy call from Dallas

308
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. He is a Bills fan,

309
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: but he's a pilgrim in an unholy land. He's in

310
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys country, but he saw a Bill's flag flying

311
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: outside a house down the street for him, goes down

312
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: the down the street, introduces himself. Apparently the husband is

313
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: a giant Cowboys fan, but the wife is a Bills fan,

314
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: So he invites them to come over to watch the

315
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: Bills game that week. But he's concerned because he said,

316
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: the husband doesn't want to come. He wants to watch

317
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at his house. So then he's a married guy,

318
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: she's a married woman. He's worried about the dynamics there

319
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: of watching a game with you know, someone who is

320
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, of the other gender, but you know they

321
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: share the bills in common. How do they handle it?

322
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: And we were talking about how to seat yourselves in

323
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: the room. High fives are the only physical contact allowed.

324
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: So the responses to that situation were probably more entertaining

325
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: than our advice in that situation, I really I think

326
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: it was lou in Dallas. I hope he's doing okay

327
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: and I hope it worked out well for him. But

328
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: that was one of the more interesting scenarios because you know,

329
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: going all the way back to that movie when Harry

330
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: met Sally, the guy that you know, Billy Crystal tells

331
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: Meg Ryan a man and a woman can't be friends.

332
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: It's impossible. I don't know if it is. I would

333
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: like to think you can have a platonic relationship, especially

334
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: when football is what you have in common. But let's

335
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: just say there are people out there in the Bills

336
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: fan base that don't know if it's feasible, and they

337
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: didn't have a whole lot of confidence that that lou

338
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: was going to succeed. But I hope he did, so

339
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: we're here. Football Relationship Hotline is open at eight oh

340
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,600

00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: So if you have any issues there, feel free to

00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: get on board. And if you have any thoughts on

347
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: Bill's Bengals on Sunday, are you concerned? Where do your

348
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: concerns lie? Do you feel confident? I found it interesting,

349
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Maddie that yesterday Dawson Knox made himself available to the media. Obviously,

350
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: he's on injured reserve, he's not going to play in

351
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: this game. Incidentally, he was the leading receiver in the

352
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: playoff game for the Bills last year in that game

353
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. He's down this week, but you know,

354
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: they were talking to him, seeing how he's doing and

355
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: all of that stuff, and then he was asked the

356
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: much anticipated Damar Hamlin question. This is the first time

357
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: the Bills are going back to pay Course Stadium since

358
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: the Damar Hamlin incident, and he was asked, how do

359
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: you think the players are going to be able to

360
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: handle it? And I thought he had a very intelligent response.

361
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: He essentially said, I think that it's not that we're

362
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: not going to acknowledge it. We will when we get there,

363
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: everybody in their own way. But in his mind it's

364
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: passed because cause of how DeMar came out of the situation,

365
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: he's fully healthy, not only that he's still playing football

366
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: for this football team, still has a professional career intact,

367
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: and so because of that, Dawson said, I actually think

368
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a little extra juice for this game

369
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: because we didn't get to finish the last one. Damar

370
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: is good to go, and this is a game we

371
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: know we have to have, so he thinks they're gonna

372
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: be actually a little juiced up. I was very I

373
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't say I was very surprised to hear it, but

374
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't the thought that I had about how they're

375
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: gonna go into that game. What did you make of

376
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: that comment?

377
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sean and Brandon said a little bit of similar

378
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 2: things to that when they were asked about it yesterday.

379
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: Knowing that, like, hey, of course we're gonna acknowledge this,

380
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: but it's not negated. It's a little bit different of

381
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: an acknowledgment, knowing how Damar came out of the situation,

382
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: knowing how positive it is now, the fact that he's

383
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: on the team, the fact that he's on an NFL roster,

384
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: the fact that he's healthy.

385
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: Enough to play on an NFL team.

386
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: So I think that's something. And of course everybody deals

387
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: with things differently. Everybody has different mindsets, everybody is a

388
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 2: different person, and they're totally allowed to experience this however

389
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: they want to or.

390
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 3: However they see fit.

391
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: But I do think there's there's the light at the

392
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 2: end of the tunnel that we've already reached, knowing that, hey,

393
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: Damar's outside right now practicing.

394
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: So I like that. He added the I.

395
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: Think there's gonna be a little bit of juice to

396
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: it on Sunday night.

397
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 3: I think that's a cool thing.

398
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: If you can flip something like this, turn it into

399
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 2: a little bit of a celebration, turn it into something

400
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: that can be used for good when you hit the

401
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: field on Sunday night, because this team is going to

402
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: need everything they can get to get up for a

403
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: game against a Cincinnati Bengals team that looks like they're

404
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 2: back to their old ways from last season. We know

405
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: they had this slow start, but they beat the Eagles.

406
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: They put thirty one points on the scoreboard. They scored

407
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: over thirty points in the last in two of the

408
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: last three games. And you're facing a defensive minded defensive coordinator,

409
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 2: I should say.

410
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 3: Who was able to trick the Eagles?

411
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: And that's a pretty great offense. I know are the

412
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, I should say, but I know they're

413
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: going through their own things. But still to be able

414
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: to beat the forty nine ers thirty one to seventeen

415
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 2: and do what they did against an offense like that

416
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 2: hold them to seventeen points, I think says a lot

417
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: about their capability on the defensive end of things. So

418
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 2: I think in a game like this, you're going to

419
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: need everything you can get to get you up, to

420
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 2: get you ready, and if you can use something like

421
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: this to be able to flip it to having some

422
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: more juice, having some more positivity.

423
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 3: I am all about that.

424
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: That's just a sense I get from the players because

425
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: we had Khalil Shakira in here yesterday in studio and

426
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: I asked them the same thing. You know, how is

427
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: that going to play this week when you guys get

428
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: to the stadium, and he essentially said, look, we're gonna

429
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: acknowledge it. I'm sure we're all going to feel a

430
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: certain way when we first walk in there, but through

431
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: the course of warmups, I think we all have to

432
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: remind ourselves Damar's good and we had a positive outcome

433
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: for that. Now let's use that as a motivator. Let's

434
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: finish what we tried to start here last year and

435
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: get a win that we need to have against an

436
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: AFC opponent that's had our number a little bit and oh,

437
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: by the way, embarrassed us in the playoffs last year.

438
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: So I can see I hadn't really given it much thought,

439
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: but I can see how they can turn that into

440
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: a motivating factor along you know, lumped in obviously with

441
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: a playoff loss, when I think every player to a

442
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: man would tell you that wasn't us last year. In

443
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 1: the divisional playoff. We were not the same team, and

444
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: I think the demor Hamlin incident play played a role

445
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: in that, you know, facing the same team against which

446
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: that happened three and a half weeks earlier. You know,

447
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: there's it's almost like a little bit of PTSD.

448
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: And and the Bengals are going to be motivated in

449
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: their own ways. They they want to prove that they're

450
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: not the team that started this season. They're zero to

451
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: three in the AFC right now, and they have they

452
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: have a chance to pick up their first win in

453
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: the AFC. Hopefully that is not the case. But they're

454
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: also going to be motivated by several different factors heading

455
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: into this one as well.

456
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm very interested to see how the early

457
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: stages of this game play out. In other words, you know,

458
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: if you win the coin toss, are you taking the

459
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: ball to set the tone on off?

460
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: Do you think this is a tone setting game here?

461
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think it is like this could be.

462
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: You know, we saw the Bills gain some of that

463
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: offensive momentum back last week. It kind of stalled out

464
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, you know, is what they did

465
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: in three quarters enough to keep them on that same

466
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: path against what you could argue is a much better

467
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: opponent in Cincinnati. And you know that's not an easy

468
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: place to win football games. And I don't need to

469
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: tell you this, Maddy, because I know you're aware of it.

470
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: The Bills play on the road has not been good

471
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: of Lake.

472
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 3: It's been interesting.

473
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: No, they're one in three on the season on the road.

474
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: Their only win was at Washington and that was a

475
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: month and a half ago. And their scoring is about

476
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: a touchdown less on the road, about twenty four in

477
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: change in terms of points per game as opposed to

478
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: thirty one points per game at home, So it's a

479
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: one touchdown less. They're scoring on the road, and they're

480
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: turning the ball over at a rate of three to

481
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: one in their road games compared to their home games.

482
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: Nine turnovers on the road, three at home all season

483
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: so far. So those numbers have to change.

484
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: The environment that they're going to be playing in on

485
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,239
Speaker 2: Sunday night too. It's not like they're going to a

486
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: stadium and playing a one o'clock game like this is

487
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: going to be an electric environment. Hopefully there's gonna be

488
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: some Bills fans there, but we know it's going to

489
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: be packed with Bengals fans.

490
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I know there's some Bills fans making this

491
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: trip because it's like a seven hour and change kind

492
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: of drive. And I've already heard about three different people

493
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: that just kind of travel in some of the same

494
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: circles as me, or are on tech sloops on my phone,

495
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: and they're going I think they're going to be the

496
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: minority because it's a primetime game, it's a big matchup.

497
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: The Bengals are back in it.

498
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 5: Now.

499
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of Bengals fans, you know,

500
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: putting their tickets on the second hand market for Bills

501
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: fans to scoop up, per se. So with and from

502
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing, it's supposed to be a pretty decent

503
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: weather night in Cincinnati, which kind of is a little

504
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: eerie for me because January second last year, it was

505
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: like forty five degrees, yes, at a night game in January,

506
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: and now it really it kind of surprised me, like

507
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: I almost my code off that night, you know, calling

508
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 1: the game because it was I couldn't have expected it

509
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: at all, because I think the previous game that the

510
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: Bills had was super cold. Here. I don't know why

511
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that, but going there January second, I'm like,

512
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: we are going to freeze at night and it wasn't

513
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: bad at all. And it looks and granted this is November,

514
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: early November, not early January, but I was kind of

515
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: happy to see that. So hopefully that is in fact

516
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: the case.

517
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 3: The game before that was the Bears game.

518
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: That's why. Now you know why I thought that way.

519
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: So I'm coming off that Bears game and I'm thinking

520
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: night game and we're going to freeze. And it was fine.

521
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: It was It was really bizarre. I could not make

522
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: any rhyme or reason of that. I know Chicago is

523
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: further north in Cincinnati. I'm aware of the geography, but

524
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: it's wintertime. Like I thought, we were going to freeze.

525
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: Fortunately we didn't. We got to take a break here

526
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: because when we come back, we're going to be joined

527
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: by ESPN, NFL insider and fantasy football expert Field Yates

528
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: with his ultimate fantasy lineup for a Week nine presented

529
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: by FanDuel. Next here on One Bill's Live, presented by

530

00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: Tasker has joined us back in studio after a well

533
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: interesting day for you, but yeah, we can get into

534
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: it later. Yeah, good to have you here. And also

535
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: here and as he is every Thursday, is one Field Yates, ESPN,

536
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: NFL insider and fantasy football expert, and the reason why

537
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: is because it's time for him to deliver you his

538
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: Week nine Ultimate Fantasy Lineup, which is presented by FanDuel,

540
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: and make every moment more Field. We're making the turn

541
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: here mid season, although it's actually past mid season for

542
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: most fantasy people because those seasons don't as quite as long.

543
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: But we've made the turn.

544
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 6: How does it always fly by? It just always does, right,

545
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 6: I mean, Tuesday morning, we will wake up and we

546
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 6: will be just over halfway through or exactly halfway through

547
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 6: the NFL's regular season. Certainly fans of the Buffalo Bills

548
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 6: are thinking about things much larger than just the regular season,

549
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 6: but as always, the football season flies by. I've always

550
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 6: felt like Thanksgiving is kind of the point where you're

551
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 6: realizer there's just not that much football left.

552
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 7: And we're in the month of November.

553
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 6: So we are now three weeks exactly to Thanksgiving. It

554
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 6: is going by way too fast.

555
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 8: Before we get into the lineup, I gotta ask you

556
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 8: one of the things I noticed about some of the

557
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 8: matchups this week, and I haven't really taken this. It

558
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 8: didn't click for me in weeks past. Does it make

559
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 8: any difference for fantasy owners when you get a bunch

560
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 8: of AFC NFC matchups like you've got, you know, you got,

561
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 8: you know, Tampa Bay and Houston and Carolina and Indianapolis,

562
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 8: the Raiders and the Giants. It's a lot of cross

563
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 8: conference conference stuff that's going on. Does that at all

564
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 8: on the radar in some way, shape or form. I

565
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 8: don't think it does, does it?

566
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 6: It wasn't on my mindset when I made this lineup.

567
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 6: I'll have to dive deeper into whether there is some

568
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 6: sort of correlation. The lack of familiarity between these teams

569
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 6: perhaps leads to an offensive advantage because there's less exposure

570
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 6: to those offensive players. It's a good thought. It wasn't

571
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 6: contributing to my lineup this week. It's probably more coincidence

572
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 6: than anything else.

573
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: All Right, So let's begin, And this has been a

574
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: theme of your lineups of late here field it's another

575
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: stack week, and it starts at the quarterback spot it is.

576
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 6: And by the way, no Bills bangles in this slate

577
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 6: with them playing in the Sunday night game, so no

578
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 6: Buffalo talk here. But we have the Texans and the

579
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a heavily featured game that starts

580
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 6: with c. J. Stroud priced at seven thousand dollars. Good

581
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 6: matchup here, as Tampa Bay's defense has some good individual

582
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 6: talent but has not been that dominant so far defensively

583
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 6: this season. You guys of course saw them up close

584
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 6: and personal last Thursday night and Josh Allen had his way.

585
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 6: Josh tends to do that with a lot of defenses,

586
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 6: but Tampa Bay is not to be confused with the

587
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 6: team like perhaps San Francisco or Dallas defensively right now.

588
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 8: And so as you get down and jump into the

589
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 8: running backs with Jonathan Taylor Josh Jacobs, those are kind

590
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 8: of two heavy hitters for running backs this week, right.

591
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, big names, and we're paying up eight thousand dollars

592
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 6: for Jonathan Taylor seventy five hundred dollars for Josh Jacobs.

593
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 6: But it's the matchup and perhaps the coaching change in

594
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 6: New York. That has us thinking about Taylor and Jacobs respectively.

595
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 6: The Colts traveled to Carolina. They play against the Panthers,

596
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 6: who have been the second most generous defense in terms

597
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 6: of fantasy points per game allowed to opposing running backs.

598
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 6: Taylor is still being sort of blocked from becoming a

599
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 6: dominant fantasy player by Zach Moss, who has been very,

600
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 6: very good for Indianapolis as it turns out out, but

601
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 6: Taylor has been the much more efficient player and recently

602
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 6: has seen his snap edge grow and grow and grow. Meanwhile,

603
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 6: Josh Jacobs, guys, you just kind of wonder if with

604
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 6: all the coaching changes this week in Las Vegas, obviously

605
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 6: a new offensive coordinator, new play caller, you know, is

606
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 6: part of the thought process for Antonio Pierce, the interim

607
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 6: head coach, and his staff. Let's just boil this down

608
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 6: to the basics. Who are the best players on our team,

609
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 6: and it's some combination offensively of Josh Jacobs and DeVante Adams.

610
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 6: Let's find a way to get them the football as

611
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 6: much as humanly possible, because when we do, good things

612
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 6: tend to happen. Meanwhile, it's a good matchup against the

613
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 6: Giants who have been in the bottom ten in terms

614
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 6: of Fantasy points per game allowed to opposing running backs.

615
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: And I would think with their rookie Aidan O'Connell starting

616
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback, they're going to be relying on Jacobs all

617
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: the more to kind of take the burden off O'Connell.

618
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: So that's another reason why I like this pick you

619
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: made of Josh Jacobs moving on to wide receiver, this

620
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: is where we see the stack come into play with CJ. Stroud.

621
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: It's an all Texas lineup here field pretty much.

622
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 7: That's right. The three wide receivers all play in Texas.

623
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 6: Start with City Lamb, priced at eighty eight hundred dollars,

624
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 6: one of the most expensive players.

625
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 7: On the board.

626
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 6: He's been red hot of late, though, and Dallas plays

627
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 6: at Philadelphia defense and all of a sudden can't stop

628
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 6: anybody in the passing game. The Eagles kryptonite might be

629
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 6: Sam Howe, who threw for three hundred and ninety nine

630
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 6: yards last week. He had a big game the last

631
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 6: time those two teams played earlier on this season. I

632
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 6: expect Dallas to be able to do the same thing

633
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 6: against a Philly defense that whether it's the change that

634
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 6: they had up the middle in terms of safety play,

635
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 6: whether it's a less consistent pass rush, whether it's just

636
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 6: teams having them solved a little bit more, their production

637
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 6: has really fallen off a cliff in the secondary. So

638
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 6: Ceedee Lamb gets the first wide receiver spot, followed by

639
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 6: a pair of Texans. We've got Nico Collins and also

640
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 6: Tank Dell Dell the rookie out of Houston, Nico who's

641
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 6: been good this season, a much bigger bodied player who

642
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 6: plays on the perimeter, and each of those players priced

643
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 6: Nico Collins sixty eight hundred bucks, tank Dell price at

644
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 6: fifty one hundred bucks. Dell has been solid when he's

645
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 6: been healthy, back to being healthy again. And what the

646
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 6: Texans can't do has run the ball. Damian Pierce, They're

647
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 6: very talented second year player has been incredibly inefficient this

648
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 6: season as a runner. That should lead to just that

649
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 6: much more play calling influence towards throwing the ball.

650
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 7: And c J.

651
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 6: Stroud did not have a great game this past week,

652
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 6: But as you guys know, one of the early storylines

653
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 6: of this NFL season has been that CJ. Stroud has

654
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 6: looked like the player that perhaps was most deserving of

655
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 6: going number one overall.

656
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 8: A lot of Tampa Bay and Houston matchups in your lineup,

657
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 8: and also Dallas and Philly, and Dallas Goddard gets the

658
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 8: call for doubt for the Cowboys or for the Eagles

659
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 8: against the Cowboys.

660
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'm surprised he's priced under five thousand, under

661
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 6: set six thousand dollars. Excuse me, he's been much better

662
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 6: of laid has Alice got her very slow start. But

663
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 6: this Cowboys defense bottom ten in terms of Fantasy points

664
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 6: per game allowed to opposing tight ends. So you like

665
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 6: the matchup here, And there's something called implied scoring totals

666
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 6: that is announced or issued each week for the various games,

667
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 6: and the idea is how many combined points will be scored.

668
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 6: Dallas and Philly should not surprise you, guys, a lot

669
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 6: of implied points. This game could be a shootout, even

670
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 6: though on paper both of these defenses can be very good.

671
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 6: That Eagles offense is just too good to ever really

672
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 6: be slowed down, and their defense is not good enough

673
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 6: to slow the very best offense is down. So would

674
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 6: it be surprised if this is a high scoring matchup?

675
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 6: I want a lot of it right now.

676
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: All right, And how would you characterize your choice at

677
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: the flex player here? Is this just taking a flyer

678
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: on somebody, or is to Mario Douglas kind of turning

679
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: in some playmaking type efforts of late for New England

680
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: because they don't have a lot of consistent playmakers as

681
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, a little bit.

682
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 6: Of that last point you made. He has been turning

683
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 6: out some consistent play making for them, and he's now

684
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 6: They're number one wide receiver Kendrick pourn out for the year,

685
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 6: So the Patriots are They're already fit at wide receiver,

686
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 6: but they get thinner and tomorrow. Douglas passes the eye

687
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 6: test for them as probably the most talented wide out

688
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 6: they have available right now.

689
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 7: But the matchup is also just too good to ignore.

690
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 6: The Commanders have been just brutaled this year defensively, and

691
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 6: as you guys both very well know, they traded the

692
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 6: way their two best defensive front players, and Montesquett and

693
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 6: Chase Young at least their two best edge rushers. I

694
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 6: should say, as a matter of fact, they're only two

695
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 6: edge rushing threats. So if mac Jones is able to

696
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 6: have some time on Sunday, he should be able to

697
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 6: carve this second area up, which leads us to Tomorrow Douglas,

698
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 6: who could well play seventy five eighty five percent of

699
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 6: the snaps. You don't find a lot of teams number

700
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 6: one pass catching options priced at fifty four hundred dollars

701
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 6: for daily Fantasy. So all those factors led him into

702
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 6: the flex consideration right there.

703
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 8: And then at the end, of course, the defense kind

704
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 8: of a throwaway spot.

705
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: But this is a layup.

706
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 8: It's really almost pick. You almost picked the worst possible

707
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 8: offensive matchup. But here, when I got all these teams

708
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 8: where they're switching quarterbacks, benching guys, Arizona, seems like whoever

709
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 8: they're playing might be the perfect matchup. And they got

710
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 8: not only just anybody, they got Cleveland. This is a

711
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 8: no brainer, right.

712
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 7: I'm with you there. That's why we're praying.

713
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 6: That's where we're paying nearly five thousand dollars for our

714
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 6: defense as opposed to just punting and paying you know,

715
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 6: two three grand. But the matchup is excellent. Clayton Tune,

716
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 6: expected to make his first career start. He's a fifth

717
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 6: round pick out of Houston, is not a mobility threat

718
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 6: in the way that even Josh Dobbs was.

719
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 7: For Arizona.

720
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 6: So if the Browns can decimate this offensive line like

721
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 6: I expect them to decimate this offensive line, they should

722
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 6: be able to keep this offense in check for the

723
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 6: most part. So it wouldn't surprise me if the Browns

724
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 6: not only keep the Cardinals off the scoreboard much, but

725
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 6: maybe even score one of their own. That Browns defense

726
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 6: has been just nasty.

727
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 7: So far this season.

728
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 6: So in daily fantasy, you're not always looking to grab

729
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 6: the low hanging fruit. But this was an example of

730
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 6: where I went right for the low hanging fruit and

731
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 6: said give it to me, and I have no regrets

732
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 6: about that four thousand, seven hundred dollars spent.

733
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't overthink that one for sure. Okay, So that's

734
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: the ultimate fantasy lineup here for Week nine. Quickly field

735
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Bengals Sunday Night. I gotta tell you, I already

736
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: had a ton of respect for lou Anarumo as a

737
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in this league, but the way in which

738
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: he effectively neutralized the forty nine Ers offense last week,

739
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: particularly their favorite personnel grouping of twenty one personnel, was

740
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: nothing short of even more impressive play and scheming by him.

741
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't really know what to expect from him this week.

742
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: I think we're anticipating that he's going to try to

743
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: do his best to force Josh to be patient in

744
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: the passing game by flooding the underneath areas of the field,

745
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, while also protecting over the top. Of course,

746
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: I think Josh is gonna have time to throw because

747
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: I think he might only rush two or three guys

748
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: the whole game.

749
00:38:58,960 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 7: That's right.

750
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 6: That's been the secret for Loui an romo is rush

751
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 6: four and figure it out upfront and then play great

752
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 6: coverage in the back end. And the Bengals have the

753
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 6: rushers up front to really make things difficult for an

754
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 6: opposing offensive line, no matter who that offensive line is.

755
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 6: But Trey Henderson is just relentless upfront. I don't know

756
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 6: if he's underrated when he makes like seventeen million bucks

757
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 6: a year. Maybe perhaps not talked about enough in the

758
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 6: national spotlight as he deserves to be. So this is

759
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 6: a great chess matchup on Sunday night, just match, I

760
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 6: should say.

761
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 7: In Cincinnati.

762
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 6: Josh has had back to back games in which he

763
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 6: hasn't quite figured out against this defense. But I think

764
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 6: it's really hard to contain Josh Allen for three straight efforts,

765
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 6: So I can't wait to watch this one on Sunday.

766
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 6: I'm guessing that whoever loses this matchup will be discussed

767
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 6: in a certain light the day after. Are they for real?

768
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 6: My general sense is that these two teams might meet

769
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 6: once Sunday nights and then potentially again come January, because

770
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 6: at their very I think there are two of the

771
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 6: five best teams in the entire league.

772
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's You're probably right, Field, But there's a lot

773
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 8: of football between now and then. We're gonna see you

774
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 8: again next week for and play some fantasy football while

775
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 8: it passes by.

776
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us.

777
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 7: Let's do it again, guys. Suck to you soon.

778
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 1: All right. That's Field Yates joining us as he does

779
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: every week on Thursday with the ultimate fantasy lineup presented

780
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: by FanDuel make every moment more And I gotta tell you,

781
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little concerned about this matchup because I

782
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: just think that, for whatever reason, it just seems like

783
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: Cincinnati has answers for Buffalo in a way that other

784
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: teams don't seem to have answers. I don't know if

785
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,959
Speaker 1: that makes any sense. I just feel like Cincinnati has

786
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: answers and then is effective in executing those answers on

787
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: the field in terms of neutralizing the Bills both offensively

788
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: and having answers for what they do defensively. Now, there

789
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: is a secret part of me that's hoping that with

790
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott as the defensive coordinator, that can change the

791
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: conversation somewhat at least on that side of the ball.

792
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: But you just don't know going in right. A lot.

793
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a lot we don't know about this. This

794
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 8: has been a matchup that's been tough for Buffalo and

795
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 8: I think too. Yeah, coaching obviously makes a huge difference

796
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 8: in this. Lou Anarumo is a great coordinator and seems

797
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 8: to have a knack or a feel for what the

798
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 8: Bills do offensively. But to me, Cincinnati is a tough

799
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 8: matchup for Buffalo because they got a ton of really

800
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 8: good players. That's what it boils down to you, just

801
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 8: like Buffalo is a tough matchup for a lot of

802
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 8: teams because we have more good players than most teams do.

803
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 8: It's going to come down to the best players on

804
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 8: either side of the ball making the most plays. And

805
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 8: despite what the coaches may do. These are players on

806
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 8: both sides that can go outside the playbook and beat you.

807
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: Break time for us here, Steve and I back with more,

808

Speaker 1: now please to have with us here. Alec White, Bill's

814
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: content writer for Buffalo Bills dot com, as he is

815
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: here for our what They're Saying segment. Basically, Alec is

816
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: combing the world Wide Web and watching press conferences out

817
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: the wazoo to see what the Bengals are saying in

818
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: advance of this game. And as we know, the Bengals

819
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: aren't shy about talking, Alec, so they were big talkers

820
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: last year going into the playoff game. What are they

821
00:42:58,960 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: saying this week?

822
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 9: Got a lot of bulletin board material yet for the Bills,

823
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 9: but they did say that they felt they played their

824
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 9: best game of the year against the forty nine ers,

825
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 9: which there's there's video Evans to support that, but the

826
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 9: Bengals never felt like they were out of it even

827
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 9: when people were doubting them. They weren't shy about that part.

828
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 9: But now we're hearing them outwardly express that they think

829
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 9: they're playing their best football right now.

830
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's well, that's when you get You get

831
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 8: them when you get them. And I've said this too,

832
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 8: there's two and a half there's nine games left, There's

833
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 8: over two months of football, and the Bills have a

834
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 8: bye week spread in there as well. It's hard to

835
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 8: play your best for two and a half months. You

836
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 8: want to play your best in when the two months

837
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 8: is over and get in the playoffs and then play

838
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 8: your best. And Cincinnati has been playing at a high

839
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 8: level when Joe's been healthy for a long time now,

840
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 8: and kudos to them, they are playing well that game

841
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 8: going into San Francisco, I think it may be at

842
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 8: this point the most impressive win by a by a

843
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 8: team this year in the regular season, given what we know,

844
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 8: what we thought we knew about the forty nine ers,

845
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 8: and having the Bengals go in there not having known

846
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 8: because Joe hasn't been healthy that much and that long

847
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 8: to go into San Francisco. I think it is as

848
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 8: impressive a regular season wins you've seen in the in

849
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 8: the league yet.

850
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 9: And not just as a team, but Burrow too. That

851
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 9: was his best performance. He was, you know, twenty eight

852
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 9: of thirty two, just shy of under three hundred yards passing,

853
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 9: you know, multiple touchdowns. He had that one to Jamar Chase,

854
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 9: and then he said after the game that, you know,

855
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 9: the I'm back moment was when in that first quarter

856
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 9: he stiff arms Nick Bosa, gets out of a sack

857
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 9: and completes a first down pass to to te Higgins

858
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 9: along the sideline. That was like the first team where

859
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 9: everyone's like, okay, Joe Burrow is back, and then you

860
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 9: see as they go down and march down the field

861
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 9: and eventually you know, pull away there in the second half.

862
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, ran for some yardage as well. I think he

863
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: finished with like forty something yards, just to kind of

864
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: show you that he and just by the fact that

865
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: he's going back under center again shows you that that

866
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: caf is okay. He was restricted to shotgun snaps only

867
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: because they didn't want him dropping back and sticking that

868
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: foot in the ground and taxing that calf. So as

869
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: soon as he's back under center on a regular basis,

870
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: you knew that his CAF had to be feeling good.

871
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: The Bengals offense has taken a little bit of a

872
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: page out of the Bills playbook in terms of moving

873
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: their top wide receiver around. We know the Bills have

874
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: done it for the last two plus years with Digs.

875
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: Bengals now doing it with Jamar Chase.

876
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that really started against the Rams in Week three.

877
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 9: You know, the week prior, Joe Burrow tweaks his calf

878
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 9: and that's when they started running out of shotgun exclusively

879
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 9: and to get Jamar Chase freed up. Because when he's

880
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 9: out wide, he's run a lot of vertical routes. You

881
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 9: move him inside, he can run some shorter routes across

882
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 9: the middle of the field. That's when they really started

883
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 9: putting Chase in the slot. And Zach Taylor said that,

884
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 9: you know, they've done it in the past couple of years.

885
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 9: You know, this is Chase's third year. But as Chase

886
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 9: has matured and has understood what defenses are doing to

887
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 9: take away, that allows him to understand and the nuances

888
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 9: of being in the slot more like we see with Diggs, right, Yeah,

889
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 9: so very similar there. They're both Digs and Chase are

890
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 9: both in the top ten this season in yards per

891
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 9: route run out of the slot. So I think we're

892
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 9: gonna see a lot of both players, Chase and Sefon

893
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 9: Diggs this Sunday running out of the slot.

894
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 8: What about the run game of Cincinnati.

895
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean Brownie just mentioned it. Joe Mixon, they're

896
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 9: back under center. That handicapped a lot of what they

897
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 9: were going to do out of the shotgun. Bengals head

898
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 9: coach Zach Taylor said, you can really only go so

899
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 9: many directions with your runs out of shotgun. Then you

900
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 9: go under center. Joe Burrow can fake you know, you

901
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 9: could run to the right, you can run to the left,

902
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 9: you can go up the middle. So we're going to

903
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 9: see a heavy dose of Joe Mixon and maybe we

904
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 9: see our first dose of of Lynnville Joseph trying to

905
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 9: plug up those those run gaps as well.

906
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Mixon's coming off his most productive game

907
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: of the season last week, over one hundred total yards

908
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: from scrimmage. We know that lou An Arumo has a

909
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: knack for coming up with effective stop signs for opposing offenses.

910
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: Now he's facing this Bills offense against whom it appeared

911
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: last year he had their number. I know. Josh said

912
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: yesterday that he felt that their failures in the playoff

913
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: game were chiefly on third down and not executing on

914
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: the money down, so to speak. What is ana Arumo

915
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: and that defensive staff saying, if anything, about how they

916
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: want to handle Josh and this Bills offense this time.

917
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, because the Bills offense has been up and

918
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 9: down through the course of this season so far. Their

919
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 9: plan isn't to look at a week to week basis

920
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 9: of the Bills because there's so much difference from a

921
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 9: week to week between twelve personnel eleven personnel. Lou an

922
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 9: Erumo said, they're looking more at the overall concepts that

923
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 9: they run when it's third down. What are the plays

924
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 9: that the Bills like to go to. That's what they're

925
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 9: studying this week on film. And he wasn't giving away

926
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 9: any specifics because you know, he didn't want to, you know,

927
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 9: tip his hand, but he said, you know, they're looking

928
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 9: at the overall picture of Okay, when the Bills are

929
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 9: in a pinch, when they need a first down, when

930
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 9: they need a big play, what are some of their

931
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 9: favorite concepts to run and that's what they're going to

932
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 9: key in on.

933
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, and this last game would probably throw a little

934
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 8: bit of a wrench into their analytics because the Bills

935
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 8: didn't run that many play different plays. They ran like

936
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 8: ten to twelve, ten RPOs and a handful and they

937
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 8: ran out of that fast pace. So they kept the

938
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 8: menu short and they just went with some pace and

939
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 8: stuck with the personnel that was on the field. We

940
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 8: saw him change a little bit of personnel more often

941
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 8: in the pre in the early in the season than

942
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 8: when Knox goes down. Obviously they made the adjustment. What

943
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 8: do you think that does to the strategy this week?

944
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 9: Well, I think they're they're preparing for Josh to be

945
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 9: his normal healthy self. I know there's you know, Josh

946
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 9: in practice yesterday he said if the game was Sunday,

947
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 9: he'd play. But the Bengals are preparing as if Josh

948
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 9: Allen's going to be fully healthy and can run. That's

949
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 9: the big the RPO stuff, you know, with the eleven

950
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 9: personnel with three receivers on the field, that's what they're

951
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 9: preparing for is for Josh Allen to still be a

952
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 9: big factor in the run game. And then you know

953
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 9: they're keying in on Dalton Kincaid as well. He had

954
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 9: his breakout game. So lou Ana Roumo said, you know

955
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 9: Josh Allen in the run game and you know Dalton

956
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 9: Kincaid are some of the things they're looking at as well.

957
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big piece. And that's a difference in

958
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: this Bill's offense with Kincaid now working the middle of

959
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: the field there, and if Shakir can help in that

960
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: regard to after what he did last week, all the better. Okay,

961
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: So the Bill's defense last year, they played the Bengals

962
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 1: without day Kwon Jones, without Micah Hyde, hide his back,

963
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: Joanes still down. You mentioned Linval Joseph, but I know

964
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 1: that Tyler Boyd had an interesting comment about this defense

965
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: last year, which you know, the Bills in essence where

966
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 1: a nickel defense. Here we are, we're lining up, let's play.

967
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser would seem to rely more upon the talent

968
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: that he had on his defensive unit than to scheme

969
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: up tricky answers for the Cincinnati Bengals offense to solve

970
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: it didn't work very well last year, as we know,

971
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: so are they saying anything different about how Sean McDermott

972
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: has run this defense so far this season.

973
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 9: Well, like we've heard other opponents talk about the Bill's defense,

974
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 9: they sensed mcdermot's canna be more aggressive in his play

975
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 9: Colin whether that means, you know, being closer to the

976
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 9: line of scrimmage, more blitzes, some dime packages that we

977
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 9: saw against the Buccaneers. They're prepared for that. But the

978
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 9: one key difference from last year to this year is

979
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 9: that both Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer are healthy. The

980
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 9: Bengals did not see a healthy version of Jordan Poyer

981
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 9: and Micah Hyde wasn't even in that playoff game. So

982
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 9: Joe Burrow specifically said that Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer

983
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 9: do as good a job as any safety duo in

984
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 9: the league in terms of their disguises for the coverages,

985
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 9: and that they don't really show their cards until very

986
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 9: late in the snap. So that's going to be on

987
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 9: the back end the chess match to watch.

988
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's a big difference with the longer they

989
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 8: can put doubt in Joe Burrow's mind about what exact

990
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 8: coverage they're running, the more time the pass rush has

991
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 8: to get there and everything else takes. It's a ripple effect.

992
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 1: And you're talking.

993
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 8: When Heide and Porter began gaining their reputation, every coach

994
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 8: in the league if they were giving problems too.

995
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: And that's that's including Belichick.

996
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, including Belichick. That's why they are who they are.

997
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 8: And we'll see if and we've always I said it, Brownie,

998
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 8: good players make you better, and when you have you

999
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 8: good players on the field, you're better.

1000
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 1: We'll see, no question about it. Alec, thanks for bringing

00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: the phones and leading us off here is Steve in

1028
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. What do you have for What do you

1029
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: have for a Steve? You're all want to Bills live

1030
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: and hey.

1031
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 5: Doing guys good? Just a couple of comments. You know,

1032
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 5: obviously this is going to be a big game. You know,

1033
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 5: I wouldn't put too much stock on if we win

1034
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 5: over for you to lose. There's just so much more

1035
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 5: football to be played, but I think the Bengals will

1036
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 5: definitely get our best game. The Bills don't really talk

1037
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 5: a lot, they keep most of their feelings internal, but

1038
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 5: I got a feeling where to come out and definitely

1039
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 5: show up and play a tough game. As far as

1040
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 5: the Bengals go, you know, they're definitely a very good team.

1041
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 5: Last week's game against the Niners, that kind of watched

1042
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 5: it twice, and they didn't exactly stop them. I mean,

1043
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 5: I think they only the Animals gave up almost five

1044
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 5: hundred yards of offense, so it was more like the

1045
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,919
Speaker 5: turnovers that really hurt the Niners in that game. And

1046
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 5: you know, the Niners had their own injuries, so they

1047
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 5: certainly weren't the team that was five and zero. They

1048
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 5: fell back to the pack themselves and are on a

1049
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 5: three game losing streak. But take nothing away from the Bengals.

1050
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 5: They played a pretty good game, especially Joe Burrow. I

1051
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 5: just think that with the additions we've made, it's going

1052
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 5: to take time for everything to come together. So I'm

1053
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 5: looking forward more so than to, you know, a few

1054
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 5: weeks from now and see how everything falls in place.

1055
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 5: Then maybe even in this next game. I just want

1056
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 5: to know what you guys think about that.

1057
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you are. You are an exception to the rules, Steve,

1058
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: a Bills fan with patience. That is a very reasonable

1059
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 1: and well thought out approach to the season, because, yeah,

1060
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: they are still in the process of trying to fill

1061
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: some holes and some deficiencies that exist, primarily on the

1062
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Their run defense is plummeted

1063
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: to the bottom third of the league since they've lost

1064
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 1: a Kwon Jones and Matt Mulano in their front seven.

1065
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: So they try to address that in the form of

1066
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: Linvall Joseph and in terms of being better in coverage

1067
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 1: by utilizing a dime package with three safeties on the field,

1068
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, and then they also add Rasul Douglas to

1069
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: help in the past defense on the back end in case,

1070
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, God forbid somebody gets injured and more of

1071
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: a veteran presence back there, knowing Tredavious White is no

1072
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: longer a part of the equation, so those things may

1073
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: need a few weeks to settle in and coalesce, so,

1074
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: you know, and you've got to You've got to line

1075
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: up and play a Bengals offense that is humming right now.

1076
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, you you very well could be right, Steve.

1077
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: It might be a situation where all those pieces of

1078
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: the new puzzle that they are trying to put together

1079
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: are not fitting seamlessly just yet. It could very well

1080
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: cost you a game this Sunday night. You may not

1081
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: have enough to pull out a victory on the road, right, Yeah,

1082
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: But it's not the end of your season.

1083
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 8: No, this is this is a big game for fans,

1084
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 8: But it's one of those games that you know, you've

1085
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 8: got to your two games over five hundred right now

1086
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 8: in a in a league where you've got to be

1087
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 8: two games over five hundred to get in the playoffs.

1088
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 8: That's that's where they sit the Bills because of the injuries,

1089
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 8: and because of the new faces, and because of you know,

1090
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 8: the direction they were headed offensively got derailed by injuries.

1091
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 8: You know, because there on the two tight end sets

1092
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 8: and all of that. Now that's kind of been derailed.

1093
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 8: They kind of it's going to take a minute cert

1094
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 8: and the defense as well. When you lose the middle

1095
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 8: of your defense going up through there, it's going to

1096
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 8: change things. And there's been a lot of talk both

1097
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 8: locally and nationally about the Bills trying to find their identity.

1098
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 8: Even Brandon Being mentioned it in his press conversation that

1099
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 8: they don't quite know, you know what our identity is

1100
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 8: yet offensively that kind of thing. Injuries make it harder

1101
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 8: to find out. Coaches will tell you this all the

1102
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 8: time when you're in a game, and you're in these

1103
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 8: big games, these big moments, even situationally in short yardage

1104
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 8: and goal line, when you got to have a play,

1105
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 8: got to have a first down, yaha, YadA, all that stuff.

1106
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 8: When you're in those moments, fans always think run or

1107
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 8: pass or blitz or coverage or that kind of thing.

1108
00:57:55,240 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 8: Coaches think, who's my guy? Who's the guy I gotta

1109
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 8: have the ball get to? Who is it?

1110
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: Or who do I need to be the guy.

1111
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 8: That this defense hinges on? Who do I need to

1112
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 8: make a play right here? They think who do I trust?

1113
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 8: And who on the other team is gonna get it?

1114
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 8: Who's gonna get the ball? Coaches think players, not plays,

1115
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 8: And when you start think getting back into that mindset,

1116
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 8: you realize why it takes a minute because the coaches

1117
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 8: don't know and they know too that if a defense

1118
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 8: wants to no way, shape or form, are.

1119
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: They gonna let you get it?

1120
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 8: To that guy, So you got to have a contingency,

1121
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 8: so you start getting down this rabbit hole of who's next,

1122
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 8: and then who do I want to get it?

1123
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: What are my options?

1124
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 7: So you don't know.

1125
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 8: So if the coaches don't know, certainly the players don't.

1126
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 8: Is a rare guy who goes up to the line

1127
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 8: of scrimmage who knows in those situations, I'm the guy

1128
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 8: I'm getting it. I know I'm getting it before the

1129
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 8: play's called.

1130
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 3: He knows.

1131
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 8: Those guys are rare. Yeah, and they're even rare the

1132
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 8: guys who are saying, please give me the ball, right,

1133
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 8: those guys are really rare.

1134
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: Turning Steve's argument around our last caller. It was interesting

1135
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: to hear Dawson Knox address the media yesterday. He's on

1136
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: IR he's obviously not playing, but it was his opinion

1137
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: that the Damar Hamlin situation, because it ended on such

1138
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: a positive note, will be very easily compartmentalized and put

1139
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: over here. And he believes that, based on recent circumstances

1140
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: and recent dealings with this Bengals team, that this Bills

1141
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: team is actually going to go into the Sunday night

1142
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: game at the same stadium where the Hamlin incident happened

1143
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: with a little bit of juice. Because Damar is fully healthy,

1144
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: his football career is continue and he's good to go.

1145
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: That in Dawson Knox's opinion, is enough to push that

1146
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: over here and put it on the shelf. And because

1147
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: of their lack of success against the Bengals, particularly in

1148
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, he believes the Bills are going

1149
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: into that game with a little extra juice on Sunday night.

1150
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: What do you think of that?

1151
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, we've seen it a ton. We talk about a

1152
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 8: lot about Cinnatis. One of the teams that have beaten

1153
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 8: the Bills by double digits or two possessions in a game,

1154
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 8: and it was in this playoff game this last January.

1155
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 8: One other team that was able to do that to

1156
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 8: the Bills was the Indianapolis Colts, the team that the

1157
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 8: Bills bounced out of the playoffs the year before that.

1158
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 8: Then they came in here in the regular season and

1159
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 8: lumped the Bills up forty five saves, maybe the worst

1160
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 8: loss since Sean McDermott or Josh Allen's rookie year. And

1161
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 8: it was because they remember getting put out of the

1162
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 8: playoffs by that team. We lost the nineteen eighty eight

1163
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 8: championship game in Cincinnati to Boomer and Ikey Woods and

1164
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 8: all that crew there last year. They came in here

1165
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 8: the next year on a Monday night and we lumped

1166
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 8: them up, Sam Weiss and all those guys. You remember

1167
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 8: those that stuff, and it does give you some jews.

1168
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 8: So I'm Dawson Knox is right. They may walk into

1169
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 8: that stadium with a little extra.

1170
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: I think you have to have. You got to come

1171
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: in there with a little bit of swagger and confidence.

1172
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, you you rediscovered some things that worked for

1173
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: you on offense last week. So you got to go

1174
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: in there and you got to swing big. You gotta

1175
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: be aggressive, and most importantly, you've got an you've got

1176
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: to execute. So I think there is there is an

1177
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 1: underbelly of that defense that can be victimized. You've got

1178
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: two brand new safeties in the back end for them,

1179
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: Dax Hill, who is an elite athlete but is a

1180
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: first year starter, and then the other safety, Nick Scott

1181
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: I believe is his name. Yeah, I'm gonna look it

1182
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: up really quick to sure I've got that right. I

1183
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: think have that right, Nick Scott. Yeah, they got him

1184
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: over from the Rams. Young player as well, starting at

1185
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: the other safety spot. Those two guys are still growing together.

1186
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: They've got seven games of experience together. And granted Dax

1187
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: Hill was in this defensive system last year but didn't play.

1188
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: They had Von Bell and Jesse Bates as their two safeties.

1189
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: If you can somehow find a way to work that

1190
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: middle of the field look safeties off that Josh's job

1191
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: chiefly there. I think it can make some plays against

1192
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: his team in the past game, you know, provided your

1193
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: protection holds up. So be interesting to see how this

1194
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: game unfolds, particularly in the early going. Let's get back

1195
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: to the phones, though, and leading us off here is

1196
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: Dominic in Buffalo. What do you got for his dominic?

1197
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 5: Good?

1198
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: Dominic? What do you got for us?

1199
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 10: I just wanted to make a small take. I understand

1200
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 10: that Joe Burrow has has used a forty nine ers

1201
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 10: game to kind of re implement his dominant and who

1202
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 10: he can be. But I'd just like to say that

1203
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 10: we're a bigger threat to them than what it seems.

1204
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 10: The Bengals have had one game that we're going to

1205
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 10: give them to say Okay, they're back. Buffalo has overcame

1206
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 10: adversity to still be where we are to even be

1207
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 10: any kind of threat. I'd just like to say that

1208
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 10: they're looking at us as more of a threat than

1209
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 10: what than what it seems like, although they are playing

1210
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 10: great after one great game, so I just I feel

1211
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 10: like we're going to go into this game as a

1212
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 10: bigger threat than what it seems to those Bengals, even

1213
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 10: with all the factors that are going to be built up,

1214
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 10: as far as the damar situation back on the back

1215
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 10: in the same stadium, I still believe that those Bengals

1216
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 10: look at the Bills as a huge threat.

1217
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair, Dominic. Thanks for the call.

1218
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: And look the Bengals, I mean, you can argue it

1219
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: as much as you want. They get to play the

1220
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers without Deebo Samuel. I understand. It's probably

1221
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: their most dynamic play playmaker at the receiver position on

1222
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: the roster. You know, McCaffrey's probably a close second, if

1223
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: not ahead of him in terms of an all purpose player.

1224
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: But they're pretty neck and neck. That's a big loss.

1225
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: So you have that, and you know the other two victories,

1226
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: all right, you beat Arizona, who hasn't And I watched

1227
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals Seahawks game a couple of weeks ago. It

1228
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: was a punt fest in the second half. The defenses

1229
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: ran that game. I think it finished like seventeen thirteen.

1230
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Did they flip the switch last week?

1231
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: And are they back to be in the Bengals I

1232
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: tend to think so. I realize it's only one game,

1233
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: but that's a team that's a potential sleeping giant because

1234
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: when they put it into gear, it's tough to get

1235
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: him back out of gear and throw them in neutral again.

1236
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: That's the danger with them. They're one of those teams,

1237
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: much like the Chiefs, who can flip a switch and

1238
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: then once it's on, it's hard to get them to

1239
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: turn it off again. That's the scary thing about that

1240
01:04:58,760 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: football team for me.

1241
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I don't know whether Dominic was saying, you know,

1242
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 8: because we here in Buffalo are seeing this game as

1243
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 8: a roadblock. I mean, it's going to be a really

1244
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 8: tough game to win, and there are people who, you know,

1245
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 8: the Bills are the underdog for the first time in

1246
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 8: a while. It's been a minute since the Bills have

1247
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 8: been in that position. So all of that put together

1248
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 8: makes Bills fans think like you know, people are writing

1249
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 8: the Bills off. I guarantee that the Cincinnati Bengals aren't

1250
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 8: writing the Bills off. They know they're in a tussle.

1251
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 8: They know it. They can watch film and see it

1252
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 8: just like anybody else can. Now, they may have some confidence,

1253
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 8: like the Bills have confidence when they go to play

1254
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 8: Kansas City. The Bills have played extremely well in that stadium,

1255
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 8: beating them multiple times in the regular season, have yet

1256
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 8: to do it in the playoffs. But the Chiefs know

1257
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 8: the Bills are not gonna flinch when they go in there.

1258
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 8: And I think that's what the Cincinnati Bengals believe about

1259
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 8: the Bills in this in this stadium as well. I

1260
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 8: don't think the Bills will flinch at all. So I

1261
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 8: don't think And from what Dominic said, you know, he

1262
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 8: thinks the Bills are going to be it is going

1263
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 8: to be a tough game, and I would agree with him.

1264
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 8: I think the Bills are going to put up a

1265
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 8: tussle with these guys. I think it'll be a really

1266
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 8: close game, a really close game.

1267
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: Back to the phones and to Carol in Tonawanda, what

1268
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: do you got for us? Carol?

1269
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 11: Yeah, I have a couple comments and questions. If you

1270
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 11: don't mind, then they'd like to hear what you have

1271
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 11: to say. But what they drafted Alan, they knew the

1272
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 11: kind of player he was and had his attributes, and

1273
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 11: at the end of the season last year and with

1274
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 11: the playoffs, it looks like some of the teams had

1275
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 11: the Bills number and they knew they had to go

1276
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 11: get a running game and some weapons, so they did that.

1277
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 11: But why do they think they have to revamp the

1278
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 11: entire offense. It looks like they're trying to put a

1279
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 11: square peg in a round the hole instead of just

1280
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 11: letting Alan play do what he does best and utilize

1281
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 11: the new weapons that he has. The other thing that

1282
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 11: I want to say is that you know, we're at

1283
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 11: the point in the season where there aren't any more excuses.

1284
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 11: The team and the players really need to play their

1285
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 11: hardst and I'm sure that they are. During the Miami game,

1286
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 11: you saw them fight for every inch in every yard,

1287
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 11: and then against Week they seem to have done this.

1288
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 11: So I hope that they can continue to really show

1289
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 11: up and persist that way. And I just want to

1290
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 11: say hope that those that are injured are doing well.

1291
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 11: And just to thank them for helping us get to

1292
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 11: the point where we are in the season. And I

1293
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 11: just want to hear what you have to say, so

1294
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 11: thank you.

1295
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carol, thanks for the good good. Yeah.

1296
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 8: They did draft Josh with some huge traits, and when

1297
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 8: he was a young player and before he knew how

1298
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 8: to play quarterback at the NFL level, he kind of

1299
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 8: he reverted to Listen, I'm just going to take this

1300
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 8: myself and run it. And nobody has a problem with that.

1301
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 8: If Josh never gets hurt, if he never pays a

1302
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 8: price for that, But in this league, you pay an

1303
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 8: enormous price for that. Cam Newton should still be playing

1304
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 8: professional football, and he can't because because of the toll

1305
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 8: it took on his body. Josh Allen is tied for

1306
01:07:54,960 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 8: the second leading rushing touchdowns by a quarter back in

1307
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 8: NFL history with forty three. He's tied for second place

1308
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 8: with Steve Young. Cam Newton has seventy five. He can't

1309
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 8: play anymore. He was an MVP in twenty fifteen and

1310
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,759
Speaker 8: was out of the league by what twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.

1311
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: On a couple of shoulders shirts they throw the ball anymore.

1312
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: He can't throw the ball.

1313
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 8: So you can say, why are they making Josh fitness

1314
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 8: square peg into a round hole. Well, they're trying to

1315
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 8: get Josh to play quarterback with the school the skills

1316
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 8: that he has, which means his arm, in his brain

1317
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 8: and his athleticism and make it last and help their

1318
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 8: team win without blowing it up in his face.

1319
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: They're trying to prolong his career.

1320
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 8: So that's that's why they're changing the offense. They've taken

1321
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 8: out the cold quarterbacks run quarterback runs. They've changed it,

1322
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 8: and Josh is aware of it. And when he does run,

1323
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 8: now you see him go down and he's not jumping guys,

1324
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 8: he's not dropping his shoulder and doing all of that stuff.

1325
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 8: They should let him play, no question about it. But

1326
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 8: he's good enough from the pocket as a pocket quarterback

1327
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 8: pass a quarterback to win games and win him big

1328
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 8: just like we would expect him to do because he's

1329
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 8: done it in the past. And you're right, there are

1330
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 8: no excuses. Nobody's shedding a tear for the Bills injuries,

1331
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 8: nobody's changing their schedule so they can have easier teams

1332
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 8: to play because they got guys hurt. You got no excuses.

1333
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 8: You got to show up and you got to play.

1334
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 8: And the version of the Bills that they have on

1335
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 8: the field every week has got a play well on

1336
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 8: that day or they will get beat. That's the mantra

1337
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 8: I've been. I've got a T shirt here. You got

1338
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 8: to play well on that day. If you don't, you lose.

1339
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 8: And it doesn't matter if you're playing any NFL team

1340
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 8: you want or any high school team you want. If

1341
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 8: you don't play well, you lose. So that's where they're at,

1342
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 8: and that's why all that stuff with Josh is going on.

1343
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 8: That's why they tinker with the offense the way they do.

1344
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 8: They don't want to they've got a guy that can

1345
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 8: win games on his own, or they don't want to

1346
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 8: lose him.

1347
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Back to the phones into Bruce on a celle, what

1348
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: do you got for his Bruce.

1349
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 12: Hey, this is for Steve. He's talked routinely about the

1350
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 12: fact that the players have a routine that they go

1351
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 12: through for a week every week, every week, every week,

1352
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 12: and since London, our team has not had the same

1353
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,600
Speaker 12: pattern routine secondary to the you know the time of

1354
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 12: the games, you know, from Sunday morning to Thursday night,

1355
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 12: Monday night. Do you think that that's why the team

1356
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 12: is so inconsistent at this point.

1357
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's why they're inconsistent. If you

1358
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 1: want to call it a factor, I would listen to that,

1359
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: Coach Marmott. It was interesting. Coach McDermott actually mentioned that

1360
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 1: very thing after the Tampa game in his postgame press conference.

1361
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: He said, I'm really proud of these players because they

1362
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 1: really us did to what was a difficult schedule and

1363
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: was not routine in any sense of the word. Going

1364
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 1: to London game six days later, primetime, short week, play

1365
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: another game. Now we get a mini bye. It'll be

1366
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: a welcome rest. He knows the toll it takes.

1367
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 8: Yes, and it might be a factor in what some

1368
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 8: of the inconsistencies we've seen. That's no excuse this week.

1369
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 8: They got a mini bie, got a chance to stretch,

1370
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 8: take a.

1371
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: Breath, more prep time for the coaching staff.

1372
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 8: You know, do a take a dip in the pool,

1373
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 8: you know, drink my tie and get ready for the

1374
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 8: on a regular game week, on a night game, on

1375
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 8: a Sunday night. Yeah, so there's no excuses for that

1376
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 8: this week. And you're right, it does make a difference.

1377
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 8: But here's the thing. That in today's NFL, they don't

1378
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 8: just you know, you can all we can all picture

1379
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 8: the old stereotype where the coach goes, I don't care

1380
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 8: when we play it. Well'll be there and we're gonna

1381
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 8: be showing. Well, now it's like, okay, here the coach

1382
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 8: stands up in front of these guys and he'll say,

1383
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 8: or have somebody in the meetings say, hey, guys, games

01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 15: I mean we were we were two and five, so

1456
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 15: uh yeah, this definitely was a winning team.

1457
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 7: So what was that?

1458
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 13: Like, I I I red what your comments from after

1459
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 13: something's got little down on yourself? Yeah, I think it

1460
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,560
Speaker 13: was trying to you know, inspire the team, you know,

1461
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 13: to t to come.

1462
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 7: You know, you're inspiring a turnaround. Yeah.

1463
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 14: How does it go from going from there to you

1464
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 14: now being here and you're five and three?

1465
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 13: Uh?

1466
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 15: I mean yeah, I was. I was just trying to

1467
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 15: leave them boys out there, but gonna coming here. Uh.

1468
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 15: And it's a good locker room and they they got leaders.

1469
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 15: So I don't think I have to do that job here.

1470
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:14,679
Speaker 15: I don't think that that's my role here.

1471
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 7: But what about the packers. A lot of packers.

1472

01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 15: mean it's reality. I'm missing to it. That was that

1476
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 15: was a home for me, you know what I mean.

Speaker 15: cause you know exactly what you supposed to me playing.

1535
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 4: You mentioned the leadership in this locker room. What have

1536
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 4: your impressions been of that? You know, if you guy

1537
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 4: like Bomb there and Jordan and Micah, they've got a

1538
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:14,600
Speaker 4: lot of veterans.

1539
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:14,639
Speaker 12: In the room.

1540
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 6: Yeah for sure.

1541
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 7: And Hi he was in Green Bay.

1542
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 15: So everyone told me to come out here and talk

1543
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 15: tell me stuff, but not all leaders. As soon as

1544
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 15: I got here, they all welcomed me, and they was like, man,

1545
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 15: we're gonna welcome you to hear right, like we do

1546
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 15: things the right way around here. Just listening to them

1547
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 15: how they talk, you know what I mean that they're

1548
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:29,839
Speaker 15: good leaders.

1549
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 14: How valuable was your time in Green Day after having

1550
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 14: trying to find your way through in the NFL things

1551
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:40,680
Speaker 14: to them for whatever reason, things that have worked out

1552
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 14: for Philly and then you have that COVID here where

1553
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,480
Speaker 14: you're like the speak teams. How valuable was your experience

1554
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 14: in time in Green Bay to find your way?

1555
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: It was vibe.

1556
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 15: I had a coach who actually knew the game and

1557
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 15: taught me the game, and they allowed me to play

1558
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 15: the game how I play the game with no restrictions.

1559
01:19:56,520 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 15: It was you do this really really well better than

1560
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 15: and a lot of guys I've coached, and I've coached

1561
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 15: all pro guys, so I'm gonna let you do that.

1562
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 15: But I'm going to coach that for you to get

1563
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 15: better at that, and that would just it. He just

1564
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:10,759
Speaker 15: gave me the freedom to just to play football.

1565
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 7: So this time three days ago, you know, you don't

1566
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 7: know what's going to happen. When you finally find out

1567
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,599
Speaker 7: the news and all the emotions kind of run their course.

1568
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 7: What are the first things you think about about the Bills?

1569
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 6: Like, what is the perception maybe from the outside before

1570
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 6: you altimately get traded.

1571
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 7: To this team?

1572
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,600
Speaker 15: They got crazy fans, they throw snowballs at reps and

1573
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 15: players on the field. They're winning team. They've been close

1574
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 15: but haven't yet finished. Even back on history, they went

1575
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 15: what four years in a row so and then last

1576
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 15: few years they've been there but just just trying to

1577
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 15: get over that hump. So that was my initue thoughts.

1578
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 3: But what is it like.

1579
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 6: Joining a team?

1580
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 15: I mean going off of that, that is you know

1581
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,560
Speaker 15: they've come close, and you know they've been these consistent

1582
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 15: contenders year after a year.

1583
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 7: What is it like joining ex team like that?

1584
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 15: Uh, just knowing what it takes, knowing that like I've

1585
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 15: done it before. I got a Super Bowl ring and

1586
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 15: I've been in NFC championships and won so and I

1587
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 15: think it's guys here that have won as well, Von

1588
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 15: Miller and stuff. So it's just you just come here

1589
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 15: and just ready to help them get over that.

1590
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 8: You know.

1591
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 9: You mentioned of the top of the phone call you

1592
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 9: got and you didn't believe was real.

1593
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 5: Good.

1594
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1595
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 14: So although the NFL hundred or little interaction with Josh

1596
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 14: during last.

1597
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:36,679
Speaker 7: Year's game, yeah, for sure, what was it like coming back.

1598
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 6: Here and being faced to based on the same lock.

1599
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:39,799
Speaker 7: Group with Josh.

1600
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 15: Oh no, we we we taught the songs we got here,

1601
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 15: but that was that was a good moment, you know

1602
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 15: what I'm saying. Like I said the same thing to

1603
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 15: him a few times. It just wasn't recorded. You know,

1604
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 15: that's football though, you know what I mean? Like that,

1605
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 15: that's what happens with football, and that's that's what you want.

1606
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 15: Like everyone's passionate, everybody wants to win, everybody wants to

1607
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 15: be great, and that's what brings it all together as

1608
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,600
Speaker 15: one of the best game in like America. So now

1609
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 15: I mean just that type of emotion. So, oh no,

1610
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 15: for sure, it was it was all It was all

1611
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 15: good when it happened. I wasn't you know what I mean?

1612
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 7: So do you feel like you're a good fit for

1613
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 7: the stepense.

1614
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 15: Yes, early, it's definitely a this first day early type

1615
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 15: for me. I do my fordam, but now I feel

1616
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 15: like it's gonna be good for me.

1617
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 5: Thank you?

1618
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: Ay, all right. That's Raseuel Douglas meeting the media for

1619
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,679
Speaker 1: the first time and right after his first practice on

1620
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: the field with his new Teammate's interesting how much he

1621
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: shared how emotional it was for him, you know, leaving

1622
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 1: his packer teammates behind. It seemed very abrupt to him, like, hey,

1623
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: you've been traded, thanks for everything, but come in so

1624
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: you can say goodbye. And it's their off day, It's Tuesday,

1625
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: and players start filing in to the facility to make

1626
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: sure they can say goodbye to Rasull Douglas's, which I

1627
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: think speaks to the veteran leader that he was for

1628
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 1: that club, and that is what attracts coaches like Sean

1629
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: McDermott to players of that ILK.

1630
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's kind of part of the DNA thing

1631
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 8: that Sean always drops into those comra you know, when

1632
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 8: we talk about scouting and prospects and new players, he

1633
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 8: talks about their you know, finger quotes their DNA guys

1634
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 8: like Rasull Douglas who you know, they become totally invested

1635
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 8: in the organization the way he has been in green Bay.

1636
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 8: Green Bay was where it kind of clicked for him.

1637
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 8: He got plucked off a practice squad and put him

1638
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 8: in the Green Bay and you know, got a chance

1639
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 8: to see like what it was going to be like

1640
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 8: if you know he practice squad, you're kind of a

1641
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 8: tenuous existence in the NFL on a practice squad, not

1642
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 8: knowing and not knowing if you're gonna ever get a

1643
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 8: chance to play or what's gonna happen. And you know

1644
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 8: that every other team in the league knows you're there,

1645
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 8: and nobody's calling you to play. And finally he gets

1646
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 8: a call from Green Bay and he plops down in

1647
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 8: Green Bay and realizes how thankful he should be for

1648
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 8: it and has lived his life like that, trying to

1649
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 8: be a leader, trying to step up and be a

1650
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 8: guy that they can count on. And obviously a lot

1651
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 8: of people in that building notice now, having said all

1652
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 8: of that, they traded him, right.

1653
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: So why that is you don't another two and five? Right?

1654
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: Maybe they're saying, look, let's punt on this season and

1655
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, try to rebuild the roster get some extra

1656
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 1: draft capital. Maybe that's the impetus here. He is an

1657
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: older player, he's twenty nine. He's probably not going to

1658
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:40,560
Speaker 1: be there when they're good again, right, So yeah, and

1659
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: now it took some doing. They didn't just do it

1660
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: because Brandon Bean said it took him over a week

1661
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: to get this deal finalized. And I would imagine that

1662
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 1: Brandon had to sweeten the pot a little bit to

1663
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 1: get Brian guten Kutzt. The Packers gm to pull the

1664
01:24:55,720 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: trigger on it. So, you know, they got something that

1665
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 1: they felt was suitable to what they were giving up,

1666
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 1: which is a number two corner starter in the NFL. Yeah,

1667
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 1: so you know, and they sent a fifth back here,

1668
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: so it wasn't just the player. It was player and

1669
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: some draft capital for some larger investment draft capital. And

1670
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, how soon does he find his way into

1671
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: the lineup. We'll have to wait and see. I think

1672
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: the most attractive thing about him is six two two

1673
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: oh nine. I mean he is a big dude. I

1674
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,719
Speaker 1: mean that guy could be playing safety without a second

1675
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: thought in this league at that size. I've given this

1676
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:43,640
Speaker 1: some thoughts, Steve. We know how important you know the

1677
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: run support element is four corners in this defensive scheme. Now,

1678
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: Dan Jackson is a very effective run support corner, and

1679
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 1: so is Benford. You imagine if you have Benford and

1680
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: Douglas out there, you got six ' to one, you know,

1681
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds on one side, two two nine on

1682
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 1: the other. You want to talk about run support corners?

1683
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:04,720
Speaker 1: Holy cow?

1684
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 8: Right?

1685
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: That and.

1686
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 8: That's that's the kind of guy you need out there.

1687
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 8: You got to have some bulk so you can stand

1688
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 8: up to it because you'll get a chance to do

1689
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 8: that in the NFL when they they either throw it

1690
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 8: at you or run it at you. And one of

Speaker 8: and so were the Bills, I guess.

1697
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. And he referenced that one interception he got off

1698
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:42,559
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen last year in the Packers Bills game

Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two here on Sunday Night, Right, we

1701
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: we will do so by handing out some advice to

1702
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:55,639
Speaker 1: a question from the Football Relationship Hotline. Maybe it applies

1703

Speaker 1: to you as well. We're here to help here on

1704

01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 1: All right, before we leave you, we've got to help

1706
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: somebody on the football relationship hotline. This one coming in

1707
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheets from Mike and he says, so

1708
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 1: the wife and I have a scheduled bowling meet Sunday night,

1709
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:32,480
Speaker 1: seven to ten pm. I know, right, it's a nightmare.

1710
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: So what is the best way to go about this conundrum?

1711
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: Please help? Dude.

1712
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:39,000
Speaker 8: You're in a bowling alley.

1713
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are TVs in most bowling air and you

1714
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: most self respecting bowling alleys have television.

1715
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 8: If you're in Western New York, that bowling alley better

1716
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 8: have a TV, and it better be on the Bills game,

1717
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 8: and it better be loud. Now, otherwise, tell them you're

1718
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 8: going to take your bowling business elsewhere elsewhere.

1719
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: Now, keep in mind, I know you have to focus

1720
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 1: on the game that you're playing in, but you and

1721
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: your life are gonna have to operate in shifts here

1722
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 1: in terms of retreating to the bar area, especially if

1723
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 1: the lane you're designated to is not within eyesight right

1724
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: of the television. So you two are gonna have to

1725
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 1: ferret yourselves back and forth to keep tabs on the game. Uh,

1726
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 1: so you're you're completely updated on you know what's going on.

1727
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 8: You can also have your phone there too, if you

1728
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 8: have the tech that you can watch it live on

1729
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 8: your phone. But yeah, you gotta have they gotta have

1730
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,400

01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, put the audio through them.

1732
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,920
