1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: the strated here of normalcy. All right. There we go

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: off and running on a Tuesday. We pay a lot

6
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: for sound effects around here. Thank you, Steve, Chris Brown,

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you as we dive headlong into Patriots Week,

8
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: Bills and Patriots in a Gigundo matchup on Monday night football.

9
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: It's still six days away, Nick tomorrow. We gotta come

10
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: out with a pole, like, what does Patriots meet Week

11
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: mean to you as a Bills fan? What, what single word,

12
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: what emotion bring? Does it like? I was already joking

13
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: when we had Eric Wood on yesterday saying, Bills win

14
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: that game on Monday night. I don't know who's going

15
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: to work on Tuesday. Oh it's true. By no means

16
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: does it lock anything up, But it would put Buffalo

17
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat in the division. I don't know

18
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: that it greatly enhances their chances of getting the one seat,

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: per se, because there's still a lot of football left

20
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: to be played. There's still be five games left and

21
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: the Bills only we would at that point would have

22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: two Division two conference games remaining. Everything else's NFC wise,

23
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: not to mention the fact that they got a pretty

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: challenging road game the following week at Tampa, so the

25
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: celebration would be short lived if they are able to

26
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: post a victory. And I don't know if you saw

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: the lines at Vegas throughout there, but the Bills are

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: favored by the customary three points as the home team,

29
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: which basically means Vegas sees this as a relatively even matchup,

30
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: as I think most of most Bills and Patriots fans do.

31
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: Flip a coin, says Las Vegas. It's a It's a

32
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: massive game for both clubs, no question about it. Two

33
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: very different football teams than we saw a year ago

34
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. Um, I think this is gonna

35
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: be I think this is gonna be a massively watched

36
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: game on Yeah. I think even non Bills, non Patriots

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: fans are gonna watch this one. The tenor of it

38
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: is different, and the reason why is for the first time,

39
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: maybe ever, the Patriots fan base may actually see it

40
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: as a rivalry game. For twenty years, this was a

41
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: joke that this was the Who's Your Daddy game for

42
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Patriots fans when they unceremoniously owned the Bills twenty years.

43
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: This is the first time in a long time where

44
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots fans are probably saying they embarrassed us last

45
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: time we played thirty eight to nine. Let's get that.

46
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit of that. I don't think they're

47
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: very worried. They have been so spoiled. They were crappy

48
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: for a year, and even then they were seven and nine,

49
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: and now it's like they're good again. They've won six

50
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: in a row. The hubrists is back in New England.

51
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they're feeling, they're feeling themselves. You can say

52
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: that with disgusting your voice, but man, you got it.

53
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: I'll always say it with this. They're good. Yeah, they're

54
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: really good. They have been for a long time, no

55
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: question about it. But you gotta get your mind around

56
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: the fact that they're not going anywhere. As long as

57
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is the head coach, They're they're gonna be

58
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: very very good. And so you just gotta get used

59
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: to it. And this I think it's better place now

60
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: that the AFC East is in because now it's not

61
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: like the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North, where

62
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: you got a Hall of Fame back in a well

63
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: run franchise playing with others, you know, And for a

64
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: long time, that's what the AFC East was. It was

65
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: the Patriots and everybody else. Now the Bills are really

66
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: good football team, a really good organization, and they're gonna

67
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: be for a while. They've got a program here that's

68
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna make them competitive, and they got players here in

69
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: place signed a long term. They're gonna be competitive. You're in,

70
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: you're out. The division is in a better place this

71
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: year than it was, certainly twenty years ago, for the

72
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: last twenty years, and even last year where the Patriots

73
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: weren't any good and it was just the Bills running around.

74
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: The Bills swept the thing last year. So I think

75
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: it's in a better place now. And I'll say it again,

76
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: it's so cool that you got these massive regular season

77
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: games on the schedule now, and they become massive because

78
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: both teams make them that way. They're both seven and

79
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: four walking into this game with a lot on the line.

80
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: It's huge, and I think it's right where the league

81
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: wants it to be. This is we're two thirds of

82
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: the way through the season, man, this is awesome six

83
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: to play two of them against the Patriots. So basically

84
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: one third of your remaining schedule is against your chief

85
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: division rival, which is going to say a lot about

86
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: who wins this division, who gets the division champion seed, etc. Etc. Etc.

87
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, our number two Kyle Brandt

88
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: for his weekly appearance. He had a Bills nominee in

89
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: his Angry Runs segment Today, we'll talk about that along

90
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: with this upcoming Jugundo game between the Bills and the Patriots,

91
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: and then final half hour of the show, we're expecting

92
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: to hear from head coach Sean McDermott as well as

93
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Brian Dable and defensive coordinator Leaslie Frazier, who

94
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: will make themselves available to the media and we will

95
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: carry whatever those Q and a's provide live here on

96
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: the show, provided everybody's on time and ready to roll.

97
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: As basically, the media schedule lays out a day later

98
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: than normal. Usually, coach McDermott and the coordinators addressed the

99
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: media late Monday afternoon. That's been pushed back to today

100
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: because of the Monday nine game. The schedule essentially shifts

101
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: back a day throughout the week, So it'd be interesting

102
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: to see if coach McDermott provides any updates on the

103
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: likes of Star Latulae and Spencer Brown, who at this

104
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: point remain on the COVID reserve list. Tredavious White, this

105
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: will be the first time coach will be commenting on

106
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: losing him for the season and what plans they have

107
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: in store going forward for their secondary And then you know,

108
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: well Tim Harris was signed to the practice squad. Does

109
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: that mean that a corner is being promoted from the

110
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: practice squad at some point this week? Knowing their short

111
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: one with Trudevius set to go on injured reserve. So

112
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: that's all in the hopper for what could be asked

113
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: to coach McDermot today, So we'll bring that to you

114
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: live in the final half hour of the show Twitter

115
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: Conversation today. Who will be a surprise contributor for the

116
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: Bills on Monday Night Football against the Patriots. Very often,

117
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: in games like this where the two opponents are very

118
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: easily evenly matched, you often need a role player to

119
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: step up and give you something extra to tilt the

120
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: balance in your favor. So with that in mind, we

121
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: ask who will be a surprise contributor for the Bills

122
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football against the Patriots. Eighth three fifty

123
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty the

124
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: number two call. Or you can hit us up on

125
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet at one Bills Live. You got a

126
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 1: surprise contributor you're feeling good about No, I'm just gonna

127
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: say this. It's this game is going to come down

128
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: to the turnover battle. In my mind, both these clubs

129
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: have been fueled when their success this season. Now the

130
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: Bills have been up and down, and even up and down,

131
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: there's fuel their success has been fueled by turnovers. Certainly,

132
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: you can point to the Patriots and say the exact

133
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: same thing. Their six game winning streak is fueled by

134
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: them being number two now overall in the league in

135
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: turnover ratio. So this is going to come down to

136
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: ball protection, ball security and playing discipline football. And I

137
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: know it's you know, it's fun to think about some

138
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: guy making a pick six or doing something mass spectager.

139
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: I think this game is going to be won by

140
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: which team executes the best. I think the Patriots run

141
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: their team that way. They've won tons of games that

142
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: way over the years, and this year more so than ever,

143
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: you're seeing a really disciplined team that makes zero mistakes

144
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: and does their best to capitalize on your mistakes and

145
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: your miscues. They've done an outstanding job of it, and

146
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: they're six in a row because of it. That's what

147
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: hinges this game on. So I don't know how it's

148
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: gonna look, but I think it comes down to Canjosh

149
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: not throw it to the other team and our running

150
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: back can they onto the football? That's to me, that

151
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: is the question. I think this team, the Bills team

152
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: is more talented starting with Josh against Mac, but down

153
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: the line it's not as far apart as it was

154
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: a year ago, no question about it. And I think

155
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: on the outside, Josh and the playmakers are the difference

156
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: in this game, and if they don't turn it over,

157
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be tough to beat. Both teams have twenty

158
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: five takeaways on the season. The Bills have done it

159
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: in eleven games. The Patriots have done it in twelve,

160
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: but they are tied for second most takeaways in the

161
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: league with twenty five, behind only Indianapolis. But let's get

162
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: to the phones. At eight oh three five fifty one

163
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: eighty five fifty two five fifty we go to Tom

164
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: on the west side leading us off today. Tom, what

165
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Good afternoon, guys. I'm getting

166
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: tired of hearing about New England being praised by beating

167
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: lesser teams and Bubba Wall gets criticized because they say, oh,

168
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: they are to beat those teams, and everybody's having trouble

169
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: with every other team this year. Now, first, New England's

170
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: got a rookie quarterback and always doing is Duncan, and

171
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Duncan he's not thrown very many long balls. So can't

172
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: we throw another linebacker in there since we lost Stray

173
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: instead of playing a nickel, draw another big body in

174
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: there and let's jam the line. And to answer your question,

175
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: I think it could be Davidson Sanders. Okay, very good.

176
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call of time. We appreciate it. We've

177
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: we've been presented with this argument before more base personnel.

178
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know the Patriots are going to run

179
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: the football and you know short short to intermediate passing.

180
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: But I think Leslie Fraser said everything that needs to

181
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: be said about the subject, because coming out of the

182
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: Colts game, he was asked, did you even give any

183
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: thought to putting three linebackers on the field when Jonathan

184
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Taylor was running you over, and he said no, because

185
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: they believe in Tarn Johnson that much as a nickel

186
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,239
Speaker 1: corner to serve as a de facto a third linebacker.

187
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: And he said the problem was not being in the

188
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: nickel defense. The problem was gap integrity and tackling. And

189
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: it was his opinion that tackling was a problem. And

190
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: the reason he had proof of that was because even

191
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: when they had eight in the box, they couldn't stop

192
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: the run. And when you put eight up there, you

193
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: should be able to have some measure of effectiveness, maybe

194
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: not on every play, but a good amount of the time.

195
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: And they did not against the Colts. And he attributes

196
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: that to poor gap control, poor tackling more than anything else.

197
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Not who was on the field, but what was failing

198
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: to get executed. And one thing too. I mean, there's

199
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: no question that by adjusting your personnel on the field,

200
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: you get a different result and perhaps a different you're

201
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: able to call a different scheme or a different defense

202
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: with different people on the field. Don't think the Bills

203
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: aren't all over that when there's reasons why nobody else

204
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: has done that, or if teams white teams did do it.

205
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Some teams do do that against Patriots and some teams

206
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: do not. There's all kinds of reasons within each other

207
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: every other team, it is why they do it, and

208
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: it has to do with what their guys are capable

209
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: of and what they're not. Know this, The Bills will

210
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: do every even think outside the box of personnel combinations, substitutions,

211
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: rotation patterns, all of that stuff is on the table

212
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: that will give them the best chance to get the

213
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: right defense called with the right people on the field

214
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: against the Patriots every play. So forever, there's no one

215
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: defensive personnel group that's going to be the magic elixir

216
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: that beats the Patriots on Monday Night. You're gonna have

217
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: to do it with multiple personnel packages defensively maybe, or

218
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna go out there with your nickel defense just

219
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: like you've played everybody else and play it at a

220
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: high level, which do you think they do. It's gonna

221
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: be hard to do that without Davous White out there.

222
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: That is going to dictate a lot of what the

223
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: Bills adjust to. Because I know this, the Patriots aren't

224
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna let whoever you line up at cornerback two. They're

225
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: not gonna let him give him a free pass. I mean,

226
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: they're not gonna let them sit out there and just

227
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: guard air, you know. So they're if they're gonna attack,

228
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: somebody're gonna attack that guy first and foremost right. And

229
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: how are you gonna help him? Are you gonna help him?

230
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: What are you gonna ask him to do? That's what

231
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots want to know. So there's all that stuff

232
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: on the table, and it works both directions. I mean,

233
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,599
Speaker 1: the Patriots don't know who the Bills offensive line is

234
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna be. They don't know how that offensive line is

235
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna affect the Bills thought process about what it means

236
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. So for all the things that we think,

237
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: we don't know anything because there's so many moving parts

238
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: as these teams head towards Monday nights, six days away less.

239
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: So for the Patriots in terms of who's gonna be

240
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: lining up, the Bills themselves probably don't know who they're

241
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: going to have. They know they're not going to have

242
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: Dradevious White, but Feliciano's status could be up in the air.

243
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: Brown status could be up in the air, and Latoulle

244
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: status could be up in the air. So those are

245
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: three pretty important players, you know, three starting linemen on

246
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: two sides of the ball. So it will have an

247
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: impact on the game depending on who is and who

248
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: is not up for Monday night. Let's go back to

249
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: the phones. We go to Dan and Rochester. Next, Dan,

250
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Year on one bills Live.

251
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: I agree with Steve, Steve should get in the Hall

252
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: of Fame. And I agree with Steve. I'm tired of

253
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: yes Dan talking about the page just like they won't

254
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. I really sick of them, you know,

255
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: especially step and a Smith at all of them. Well,

256
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: Bob was going to kick the crap out of them.

257
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: I know they are. Thanks for my call, Okay, fair enough,

258
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: short and sweet, Thank you, Dan. Look I get it,

259
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: I get just as frustrated as the next person with

260
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: the bottom line is this, They've won six in a row,

261
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: and they've convinced everybody at every national network to jump

262
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: right back on the bandwagon. Hey, we might have a

263
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, but we're going places jump on. Oh okay, yeah,

264
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: I remember, Patriots are really good. All right, I'll do that, sure,

265
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: And you know they're singing their praise, isn't that's fine?

266
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: Let them get all the attention. Let the Bill sit

267
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: in the weeds here at home, all right. I don't

268
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: want to be a wet blanket on this good feeling.

269
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: We get about hate and Patriots, but they were doing

270
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: the same thing when the Bills had a three game,

271
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: four game winning streak two I mean every time a team,

272
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: because this whole conference has been that story this year.

273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: Right now, it happens to be the Patriots because they

274
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: got the longest winning streak in the league right now.

275
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Before them, it was Tennessee and then they lost Derek Henry.

276
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Then before then it was Cincinnati, and before then it

277
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: was Baltimore. It's somebody knew every weekend, until somebody knocks

278
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots off and makes them one of those teams

279
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: that has a bad week's going to continue to be them.

280
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: That's just the way it's gonna be. Last week it

281
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: was the Baltimore, I mean, the Indianapolis Colts. They were

282
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: making a surge. Now they've stumbled, So that's just you

283
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: gotta live with it. And if it's if it's the

284
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Patriot's turn to be the flavor of the week or

285
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: the flavor of the month. We kind of gotta live

286
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: with until somebody beats him, and you know, most Bills

287
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: fans are hoping it happens this weekend. Yeah, let's go

288
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: back to the phones and we go to Zoe and Buffalo. Zoe,

289
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's life. Hey,

290
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: how you doing good? Afternoon? M Yeah, people are always

291
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Bills. You know, they haven't done

292
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: nothing and who they be. Okay, we'd be some mediocre

293
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: team with not big green record, but those teams also

294
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: be good teams too, and just about every team in

295
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: the league got about three losses. So but my surprise

296
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: people gonna pick it up this week is I'm gonna

297
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: go with you know, Dane Jackson, like Steve said, they're

298
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: going to attack them, and Nan kind of remind me

299
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: of the old Norman a little bit where he gonna

300
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: punch the ball out somewhere and I'll get a turn

301
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: over in um Matt Brea, you know, get him into

302
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: space might be a screenplay because he could catch him.

303
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: He got that speed. Those of guys I think gonna

304
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: make a difference. I know we need on Brown at tackle,

305
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: but just you know, if Josh Allen could get back

306
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: to his Dincon dunc, you know, everything will be good

307
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: because he looking for the big player. But he got

308
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: to go back to his Dincon ducts and it's gonna

309
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: open up the deep ball. That's what I gotta say.

310
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the calls. He appreciate it. Matt

311
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: Brida and Dane Jackson. You know, Jackson, I'm interested to

312
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: see in a full game, start to finish. He's been

313
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: a fill in when somebody's getting nicked. Saw some time

314
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: last year as a rookie as well. I think he's

315
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: instinctive and he's gonna see a lot of the ball.

316
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: I think that's safe to say, you know, and we're

317
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: assuming he's starting in place of White. I don't see

318
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: why he wouldn't be the guy, but I like his

319
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: instant so I think he has some natural instincts in

320
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: terms of defending the ball, defending passes, mirroring routes, etc.

321
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: U just feel like he's got a nose for the ball,

322
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: so hopefully he can fact you're in there. He almost

323
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: for a young guy. I called him young. He's not

324
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: completely you know, brand new, but he strikes me as

325
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: a guy that's really confident, and he he jumps stuff,

326
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: like even last week when he came in off the bench.

327
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to know they're gonna he's got

328
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: to know they're gonna come after him, right, So he's

329
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: kind of got to be on pins and needles out

330
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: there thinking, Okay, here it comes, and lo and behold,

331
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: they gave him a double move right off the top.

332
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: He almost got got one put over the top of

333
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: him as soon as he got in the game, like

334
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: a third snap he was in the game. I don't

335
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: think that's being shown on on loop right in the

336
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: film room in New England, right, and probably here in

337
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo as well. If they're gonna come after you, they're

338
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: not gonna take it. They're not gonna come after you

339
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: for a five yard game. You know they're gonna try

340
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: and nick you big um. So that I agree with you.

341
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: I like Dane Jackson. You and I spoke about him

342
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: in the offseason. You were I liked him. Yeah, you

343
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: had him a lot. You had a man crush on him,

344
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: are you kid? Anyway, I liked him a lot. I

345
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: like him too because he plays like that. He plays

346
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: like that, he flushes a bad play comes back and

347
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: lines up and let's you know, he's nod in his

348
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: head saying, let's go. You gotta love guys like that.

349
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: We'll see how good he does. He's gonna, I mean,

350
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: there's no going back, there's no like, Okay, you're gonna

351
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: get a couple of reps here and then you're gonna

352
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: come out. You don't get to think about it. You

353
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: gotta go out, and you gotta play, and you gotta

354
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: play the whole game, and you gotta be ready for

355
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: it and every situation and your antenna have to be

356
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: up as a player because they are gonna target you.

357
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: You are going to be in the center of attention

358
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: for that offense and they're gonna find ways to scheme

359
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: guys open that you're guarding. And you know, that's where

360
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: it really begins. I think in the passing game for

361
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I like Breeda in this game a lot

362
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: because I think his speed is a weapon that can

363
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: be used effectively, especially at the second level of the

364
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: Patriots defense. Eye Tower is a nice physical linebacker, so

365
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: as Juwan Bentley. They are not athletes in terms of

366
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: pure speed, and while they're good anticipatory defenders, I think

367
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: Brita puts stress on the second level of New England's defense,

368
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: so I hope he has a role in this game.

369
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: I think Mackenzie should come back off the inactive list

370
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: stretch this defense horizontally create some gaps in the middle

371
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: of the field for Beasley to exploit underneath. So I

372
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: think you have to put your speed players on the

373
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: field in this one because that can give you an

374
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: edge in some of the matchups and creates space for

375
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: your playmakers, as you pointed out, to exploit through the

376
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: course of the game. Think at all, it's going to

377
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: come down to how well they execute. You know, New

378
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: England is the most disciplined football team in the league,

379
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: and because of that, you've got to be You've got

380
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: to match that. You've got to do what you're supposed

381
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: to do and be where you're supposed to be. Your

382
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: quarterback has to make the right reads right away, and

383
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: you have to know what they're willing to give up

384
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: on every single play and take it. And I you know,

385
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: I think I think the Bills coaching staff's got to

386
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: be thinking, you know, there's they're just gonna force us

387
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: to take the small, intermediate routes and live with it,

388
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: and I don't. They probably don't believe Josh Allen's willing

389
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: to sit there and be that patient during a four

390
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: quarter game, not for four quarters. Sooner or later, he's

391
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna try and go deep and we're gonna pick it off. Yeah.

392
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: I think this all falls down to how well you

393
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: execute your routes and in the run game and the

394
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: passing game. And certainly Brita Mackenzie Stevenson give you something

395
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: that they haven't had a lot of this year, meaning

396
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: speed on the edges. I don't know, I just yeah,

397
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: maybe maybe that helps, but we certainly didn't. You know,

398
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't need that last year on the outside.

399
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean they executed two Patriots are playing with half

400
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: a deck. Though on playing with half a deck would've

401
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: got a real nose tackle. Now they've got a real

402
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: pass rusher now, a premier pass rusher in Judean. Their

403
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: secondary is healthy again. Kyle Dugger, you know, talking about

404
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: nickel package, Steve Kyle Dugger. They use as like a

405
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: big nickel guy. They'll start him as like their de

406
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: facto third linebacker, big safety, you know, play four on

407
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: the back end with him and two linebackers and it's

408
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of a hybrid Nickel scheme, if you will.

409
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: They've done that from time to time, so it'd be

410
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: interesting to see if they choose to go that route

411
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: against the Bills, and they're propensity to go three and

412
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: four wide. Back to the phones into Herman and ken Moore.

413
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: What do you got herm? Hermany there? Oh, herm, I'll

414
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: put him back on hold. Let's go to Mark and

415
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: Rochester next, Mark, what do you have for us? You're

416
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: on one? Bills, live a little, Chris Steve, thank you

417
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: very much for my call. Sure haven't to do with

418
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: the strategy. And we know it takes a ten to

419
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: sixteen plays for the offense to move down eighty yards

420
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: as per score. And the builds are very well documented

421
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: in that they use a rotational defensive line to keep

422
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: of course the advantage of fresh legs out there on

423
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: the line as well as you know, keeping the lineman

424
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: as fresh as possible later in the game. So my

425
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: question is why I do the Bills and not consider

426
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: a rotational offensive line. And I'll hang up and listen,

427
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: because there's not enough good offensive lineman to go around

428
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: for that. It's number one, Number two there's there's a

429
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: way in which an offensive line has to operate together

430
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: as a five man unit, which is enhanced by playing

431
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: together more. Any offensive lineman will tell you the more

432
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: time on the field they have with the linemates on

433
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: either side of them, the more effective they will be

434
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: as a group. Where defensive line play, while there is

435
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: elements of playing off of one another, stunt twist games,

436
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: things like that, more often than not you're just trying

437
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: to win your one on ones, you know, and that

438
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: and that's it's more individualistic than offensive line play, I guess,

439
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. It's hard to rotate in a

440
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: left tackle, um, because it's such a physically demanding position

441
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: that the guys you're playing against or basically gifted, and

442
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to I mean, you usually don't have two

443
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: guys on your roster that physically gifted enough to rotate in.

444
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: If you do have two guys that can physically do that,

445
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: one of them is playing on the other side at

446
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: right tackle. So you don't rotate those guys in because

447
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: you know that, you know you lose the benefit because

448
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: nobody gets to rest then, right, I mean, so, um,

449
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: if you've got five if you've got eight guys who

450
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: are all starting caliber guys. Yeah, I get it, but

451
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: I got I got news I ain't. Nobody got that.

452
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: There is not enough big men in the pool to

453
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: have that many on one team. That's just that's just

454
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: there's just not enough. I mean, you talk to Eric Wood.

455
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: He'll come in here and tell you. He says, listen,

456
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: it's you know this the drop off that the Bills

457
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: have seen when they started shuffling their offensive line around.

458
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: He goes, that is absolutely you can. You can etch

459
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: it in stone because every other team in the NFL,

460
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: same way you talk. You take those five guys off

461
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: and start tinkering with him up front. You don't have

462
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: the guys behind him. No team has the guys behind him,

463
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: like there's to have no drop off when you substitute

464
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: a guy in for injury. There's just no team in

465
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: the NFL that does it. Nobody's comfortable doing that. Those

466
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: guys are hard to find. They're hard to find. So

467
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: you and this too. It's different being on the D line.

468
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: That is in the offensive line. D line, look see react,

469
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta gap to look after. But if

470
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: there's not a run play to your gap. You're rushing

471
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: the passer. That's the extent of it. Offensive line. You

472
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: got communications. You gotta work with your buddy. You gotta

473
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: play this run. The point of attacks over there, No,

474
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: it's over here. Now. You gotta read, you gotta listen

475
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: to them. You gotta talk. There's a offensive line is

476
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: far and away a more mental exercise than the defensive

477
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: line is. Defensive line is just about read, reacting, a

478
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: great and of athletic ability. Offensive line is about athletic

479
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: ability and you're and having an awareness. It's between your ears.

480
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: Offensive line is as much about between your ears as

481
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: it is about from the neck down, which all these

482
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: guys have. So yeah, it's you can't just pick and

483
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,239
Speaker 1: choose offensive linemen to throw in and out of that game.

484
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: That's why they don't rotate those guys. I mean, I

485
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: get it. Your defensive lines always fresh, and it'd be

486
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: nice to have fresh offensive lineman. You just there ain't

487
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: enough guys. There is not enough guys to go around.

488
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: Back to the phones. We'll try Herman and Ken Moore

489
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: a second time. Here, Herman, are you there? Oh? Herman, Okay,

490
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: are you ready? Yeah, we're ready? Hit me Herman. You

491
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: gotta turn your radio off, bro. Go ahead, Yes, I'm here,

492
00:27:51,359 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Okay, listen, listen to my question. This is

493
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: my question. Okay, this is my question. One more time

494
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: question is what is mcdermots record against Belichick? Two and four? Two?

495
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: You got two wins last year, so two and two

496
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: and six, two and six, he's two and six as

497
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: a head coach. What else herman? Now he's gone, we're done.

498
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: If you're gonna call me, turn your radio down, bro.

499
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: The radio feed is on delay, so what you hear

500
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: on your phone is going to be about five to

501
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: seven seconds ahead of what you hear on your radio.

502
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: So it's very easy. I think there are people that don't.

503
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: I guess there is public service announcement has been brought

504
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: to you by One Bill's Live. Uh, let's go to

505
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: David and Orlando. David, what do you have for us?

506
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: You're on One Bills Live. Hey, guys, a good afternoon.

507
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 1: So you know, I think if we don't have a

508
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: good game on Monday, it's probably going to be because

509
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: they frustrated Josh. I don't know if you guys noticed,

510
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: but he I think he's on Thanksgiving and some months

511
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: that when he doesn't play well and he gets frustrated

512
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't play well, and I'm sure Belichick wrote dead down,

513
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: so I'm sure they're gonna try to frustrate him so

514
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: that way they could slow down on offense. And also,

515
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: what does the Patriots do. They always try to take

516
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: your number one guy, you know, I know it's Josh,

517
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna try to take our digs. Also,

518
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: so Josh gonna have to you know, play you know,

519
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: under control, use his mind and work and take what

520
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: the defense gives us. That's the only way I think

521
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: we're going to show the Patriots that we're a better team.

522
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: And also, I think the surprise player it's gotta be

523
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: Isaiah mackenzie because he was sat out last week, so

524
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: I know he's got to have a chip on the show,

525
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: do so, so he's gonna come out and I know

526
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna try the ball. I mean that's what I think. Anyway. Yeah,

527
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. And thanks for the call, David,

528
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: um so he picks you know, Isaiah McKenzie is a

529
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: surprise player in the game. I just think that, uh yeah,

530
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: I think it's well founded. And Josh has admitted as

531
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: much that he gets frustrated when they don't get off

532
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: to a fast starter, he doesn't get into an early rhythm,

533
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: and then if the game goes long enough with them

534
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: still struggling on offense, he starts to force things and

535
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: that's when those turnovers happen. And as we mentioned yesterday,

536
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: last four games, he's got seven picks and a fumble

537
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: lost that cannot happen, as Steve outlined at the top

538
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: of the show, cannot happen against this team. It happens,

539
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: the game is gonna be over early, early, right, And

540
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: I think if if the coaching staff, which I'm sure

541
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: they do, believes that anticipates the Patriots taken away some

542
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: facet of the of the offense. And here's the thing too,

543
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: that the Bills are a little bit different animal, probably

544
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: even in the Saint in the Patriot's eyes, because they

545
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: do have Beasley, they do have Steph Diggs, they do

546
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: have Dawson Knox who's emerged and got become a little

547
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: bit bigger role. In Emmanuel Sanders. They've got more guys

548
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: than just like this one guy. Certainly Diggs is the centerpiece,

549
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: and if they want to take him away, okay, but

550
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: depending on how thin they are every place else. Um,

551
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: there's some guys that can can win around this offense.

552
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: I think it. I'm I'm kind of with David from Orlando.

553
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots are gonna center this around Josh.

554
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna force Josh into doing things that

555
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: he's uncomfortable doing, taking the easy quick completion, uh, getting

556
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: rid of the football quick, probably defending against his run

557
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: game very well if they, if they so desire. I

558
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: think that's where this starts for the Patriots. I think

559
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna dare Josh to make to have an eighty

560
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: five ninety nine completion percentage, you know, and go you know,

561
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: twenty eight of thirty two or something like that. You

562
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think they're gonna dare him

563
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: to do it because I don't think they'll think he's

564
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: patient enough. Yeah, we have to take a break here,

565
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: Dan and Youngstown, Steve on a sale, Connor and Buffalo

566
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: hang right where we are. We'll get to you when

567
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: we return. As we're asking you who will be a

568
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: surprise contributor for the Bills on Monday Night Football against

569
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Your answer is coming up next here on

570
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

571
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

572
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: with you. We'll get to the phone calls and just

573
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: a second Tom Pella Sero. NFL Network was recording today

574
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: that Amari Cooper, who is unvaccinated, was required to miss

575
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: two games because of his ten day isolation as an

576
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: unvaccinated player. He's now at the risk of missing their

577
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: Thursday night game because of ongoing symptoms. Basically, head coach

578
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, who also has COVID, now said that Amari

579
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 1: Cooper is no longer contagious. He's back in the building,

580
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: but he still has a cough and it's going to

581
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: be determined whether he'll practice today. McCarthy said, his gut

582
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: says if he doesn't practice tomorrow, I don't see him

583
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: playing in the game. So even though unvaccinated players have

584
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: this ten day window where they can come back, if

585
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: they have ongoing symptoms that they're struggling with, it's kind

586
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: of hard to play football, especially at receiver. All the

587
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: running you gotta do with this is a respiratory illness,

588
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: as we know, so that's that's tough for the Cowboys

589
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: who really need this one against the Saints on Thursday night.

590
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones at eight oh three,

591
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: five fifty and we go to Dan and Youngstown here

592
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: to lead us off. Dan, what do you got for us? Hey, guys,

593
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: good to talk with you. I had a question on

594
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Day game and then an observation about the

595
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: upcoming game. On the game Thursday, the play the touchdown

596
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: to Dawson Knox that got called back because of an

597
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: illegal man down field, it sure looked to me like

598
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: when Josh dropped back there, he was looking for somebody

599
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: out to the left to throw some type of screen,

600
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: but nobody until the right. I just wanted your take on,

601
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, was that a botched play or what do

602
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: you think happened there? Yeah, that was a botched play

603
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: on somebody's part. They added three guys in the backfield.

604
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: They all broke as I remember it, they all broke

605
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: to the right and the offensive line went to the left.

606
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be a screen passed the left,

607
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: and all the guys who were eligible to catch the

608
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: screen were still on the other side of the field.

609
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought it was a botched play from

610
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: the word go, somebody got a different message. Even if

611
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: you look at the film, Steph Diggs kind of stood

612
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: up straight at the line screams, who's the ball of snaff?

613
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs kind of stood up and kind of like

614
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: backed up towards the sideline like he didn't know what

615
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: was going on here. He and Brido went to the

616
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: same spot as Yeah, they were all. It was all discombobulated.

617
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: So either Josh it could have been that Josh transposed

618
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: a couple of words in the in the play call,

619
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: or he called the play funky in a funky way

620
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: that nobody realized until they got out there and did it,

621
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: or they just whatever. I think probably it has to

622
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: do with Josh miscall in the play. So there's a

623
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: possibility you're saying that based on the strength of the defense,

624
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: he made a flipped the play and not everybody got it.

625
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: There could have been Yeah, there could have been an

626
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: audible air, or it could have been just a botched

627
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: call in the huddle. Either way, no doubt that was

628
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: a busted play that the Bills made good on because

629
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: Well sort of made good on Well eventually made good

630
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 1: on Yeah on the next play. The next play because

631
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: they got a call for ineligible. Man. Yeah, that was

632
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: a botched play from the word go. Let's go back

633
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: to the phones and to Connor in Buffalo. Connor, what

634
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: do you got for us, Chris Steve, I think for

635
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: bringing me on the show. Sure, I just want to

636
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: talk about the absolute stud that we all know as

637
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: Matt Rita. We've seen him in actually the basketball and

638
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: he's done pretty well on his limited snaps. Obviously, this

639
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: Patriots defense one of the best of the league. They're

640
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: going to play a lot of two eye safeties take

641
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: away a lot of Josh's play making ability in his

642
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: deep ball. So I think it would be a great

643
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: idea to bring Matt Brita in into a lot of

644
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: these snaps as kind of like a third down back wall. Uh.

645
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: You know, if he did score that touchdown off a

646
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen pass in New Orleans this past Thursday, and

647
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: I think he'd be great on Monday. You know, Josh

648
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: won't be able to throw deep that much, like I

649
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: said earlier, and I think that if he can just

650
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: throw a bunch of screens Sabrita. You know, I think

651
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: they'd officially moved the ball downfield, and you know, work

652
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: out everything despite this is tough Patriots defense. Well you

653
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: guys think, all right, I appreciate the call. Connor, Yeah,

654
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm on board with that. Um Brita's provided a spark.

655
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about it. Just about

656
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: every game he's played, and he hasn't got in a

657
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: huge workload either, hasn't taken him a lot of touches

658
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: of the ball to make something happen. He had twelve

659
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 1: touches of the football in his first two games when

660
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: he was up active, you know, against the Jets and

661
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: the Colts and did some things. And then Thursday night

662
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving he gets twelve total touches and he's you know,

663
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: he's got another touchdown on the board for you. So

664
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: you have three touchdowns in three games. So I mean,

665
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: granted tour in the Jets game, you know, none in

666
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: the Colts game. But the guy makes a difference. And

667
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if they're gonna play too high safety

668
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: and keep everything in front of him, I'm all for

669
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: breed To being a big part of the game plan

670
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: because I think he outraces linebackers to the edges. And

671
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: now you now, as a defense, you better bring a

672
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: safety down if you want to stop him, because he's

673
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: gonna be moving the sticks. Yeah, with the quality of

674
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: the defensive line play that the Patriots you're getting, you

675
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: gotta know you're gonna have to run around him. That

676
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: means the edges, their defensive tackles are really really studs

677
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: up inside and they're hard to push off the ball.

678
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: So it's hard to find any room up inside the tackles.

679
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: And with a guy like Breed, at least you can

680
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: stretch them a little faster and they can be a

681
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: step behind and maybe you can get it, get get

682
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: to the edges a little better. Screen passes, sure, of course,

683
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: but you can't you know, if you're going to start

684
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: giving the defense a steady diet of screen passes, it

685
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: doesn't take long for them to adjust to that. So yeah,

686
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: screen pass here and there, certainly it'll work. And I

687
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: think with Breed in there, they've run more of those.

688
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: But like I say, once in a while, yeah, you

689
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: can sprinkle those in and yeah, Breed as speed to

690
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: the edge might give you an it might give you

691
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: the difference maker on a couple of plays. But this

692
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: is a game that's going to be about everything, not

693
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: just about one aspect of the offense or one strategy

694
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna win it. You've got to bring all those

695
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: strategies and you've got to execute them perfectly. Both these

696
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: clubs believe that the Bill's defense is nothing to be

697
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: try with. Either. Don't think the Patriots don't have a

698
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: healthy respect for what the Bills are doing defensively. So, um,

699
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: it's all about execution in this game and ball security.

700
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: So if you don't, if neither, if you win the

701
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: turnover battle in this game, chances are you going to

702
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: win the game. And that's I think that's going to

703
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: be critical to this, to the way this thing works out.

704
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: That the Bills have a better, more explosive offense, so

705
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: you feel like they could get back in it offensively

706
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: if they get down more so than the Patriots. But

707
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: other than that, I mean, this is it's like it's

708
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: like you know, the the oddsmakers say it's a kind

709
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: of a Pickham game on a Monday night. This is

710
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: this is really going to be a hard fought game.

711
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, in games like this, mistakes are what decided,

712
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: and the Patriots are known for not doing that. Yeah,

713
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: they're pretty good at so you gotta match that. Yeah,

714
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: let's go to Julian and Rochester next. What do you

715
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: got for us? Julian Um, I got a Williant lush

716
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: for Steve. I went to the Miami game and what

717
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: I sound really disturbed was the amount of commercials the

718
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: NFL is putting in and just the guys standing on

719
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: the field for like a minute or two minutes. It

720
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: felt like, I mean, that's I'm thinking, that's got to

721
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: really disrupt their game. I mean, if they're all of

722
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: a sudden in a good flow and next you know

723
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: they're just standing there. I really it bothers me. The

724
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: amount of commercials right now. It hasn't changed from what

725
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: it's been, and players kind of get used to it.

726
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: They know that after a kickoff, or after a kickoff,

727
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: or after a touchdown an extra point, they'll do it,

728
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: and if the game has gone fast to a certain point,

729
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: they may be forced to double up. And once in

730
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: a while what that means is touchdown, extra point, go

731
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: to commercial, comeback, kickoff, go to commercial. Yeah that is

732
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: a that's a show, stop or no question, But it

733
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: doesn't always happen, and it happens when they get down.

734
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: So if you get a couple of different and if

735
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: it's a punt punt returned commercial. So depending on how

736
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: many times those natural breaks in the action come and

737
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: they can put in a natural spot where they can

738
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: go to commercial, the game flows a little better. But

739
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: sometimes the game goes in such a way so like

740
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: if there's a turnover or whatever, then the game comes

741
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: out and they just keep the game keeps going, or

742
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: if they get a ten or twelve or fourteen play drive,

743
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: they can't go to commercial during that. So all of

744
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: those things combined sometimes back up the commercial breaks into

745
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: spots where they double up. They go to commercial after something,

746
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 1: after they finally get a chance to come back watch

747
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: the kickoff, go right back to commercial. Yeah, that is

748
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: what I think you're talking about. And sometimes the games

749
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: free flow before those breaks dictates the fact that it's

750
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: going to get choppy later in the half or later

751
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: in the quarter. That's just that's the way it works.

752
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: They have a set amount of commercials they run. It

753
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: doesn't vary, and they have strict rules as to when

754
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 1: they can run them. So they do have to get

755
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: them in, but they yes, they you have to get

756
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: them in, so so any extra opportunity and injury, right,

757
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: something like that, they're going to commercial that's exactly right,

758
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: so that it's it's set in stone, and sometimes the

759
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: game dictates that it's going to be choppy because of it,

760
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: because of the smooth flow up to that point. All right,

761
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: break time for us here. We'll get some more of

762
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: your phone calls in a second. Who's going to be

763
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 1: a surprise contributor in the Bills Monday night game against

764
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Let us know At eight o three five fifty.

765
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: We're back in a flash here on One Bill's Live,

766
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio, going

767
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: right back to your phone calls at eight three five fifty,

768
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: and we lead off here with Lauren in Webster. What

769
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Lauren, you're on One Bills Live.

770
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: Turn down your radio, Lauren trying to talk to you. Okay,

771
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: all right, we'll put Lauren on hold. Okay, and we

772
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: will move on to who's been holding the longest year?

773
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: Rick and cheeked Waga is next. What do you got? Rick? Hey? Guys, Hey, Steve,

774
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: you're wrong. And the reason I think you're wrong is

775
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: is because Tennessee exposed New England last week and what

776
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: they did was they ran quick hitters with speed with

777
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: back that they just got off the street. And I

778
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: think the Bills can do the same thing, especially if

779
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: Brown and Feliciano are back. I think they have ability

780
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: to steal off the inside runs and the A, B

781
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: and S gaps. I would run straight at Judean the

782
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: guys more interested in sacks than he is defending the run,

783
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: and I don't think hitting on the outside is the

784
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: right thing to do. I think the defense flows well,

785
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: their linebackers flow well. I don't think the outside is

786
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: going to be available from a past situation. I think

787
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: they ought to run a lot of cover two man,

788
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: minimize the windows and run some robber where you run

789
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: some zone and then allow Poyer to go ahead and

790
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: roam the middle of the field and read Jones's eyes.

791
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: If you guys notice from the games that I've seen

792
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: with New England, they're really good at beating zone coverage

793
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: because Josh McDaniels does a great job putting together some

794
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: route concepts and the receivers do a good job sitting

795
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: in the zones. But they're not gonna beat anybody man

796
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: to man. You let Poyer and Michael Hyde be able

797
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: to you know, stay you know, they don't have to

798
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: stay too deep and that cover too shell and run

799
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: a man underneath. I think we shut this offense down

800
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: and make life help from them. Do you think the

801
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: Bills can hold up man to man without Trey? Yes,

802
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: because I don't think New England's got received Born and Myers.

803
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I think our dvs have the capability.

804
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: And the other thing, too, is is they don't have

805
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: to worry about getting hit over the top. First of all,

806
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: Matt Jones doesn't throw the ball well, especially if the

807
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: weather is bad. His balls are gonna be floating all

808
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: over the place. And if you I'll tell you right now,

809
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: if you did a heat map on where he puts

810
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: most of his throws, they're probably the middle third of

811
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: the field in that ten to fifteen yard range. And

812
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: if we run man and take away those and allow

813
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: Micah and Jordan Poyer to be able to roam and

814
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: be able to read his eyes, I think it's gonna

815
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: be a tough day from mac Jones. I'm telling you

816
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: right now, I'm predicting it. Well. The Bill's defense is good,

817
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: and Josh McDaniel's already gone on record saying it's the

818
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: best group they faced all year. But we'll see, and

819
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: I I'll de free you can. I like your opinions.

820
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: You backed him up. Well, do you think that the

821
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: best thing to do is run right at jude On

822
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: and pound it right up inside and forget about getting

823
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: to the edge at least for the most part. Okay,

824
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: I hear you, and I see that too. There's no

825
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: question that if the Tennessee game plan, I mean, Mike

826
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: Vrabel came out after the game and said, hey, I

827
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: loved our game plan against these guys, and our coordinators

828
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: put together a really good plan to beat New England

829
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: and just couldn't get it. We just couldn't get it

830
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: done because of the turnovers late and all of a sudden.

831
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: We all saw that. So we'll see what the Bills

832
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: learn from the Tennessee tape because it's Copcat League, and

833
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: if the Bills think they can use some of it,

834
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: they will. So that's that's good on you, Rick from

835
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: cheek to Wagga for calling out and I don't mind

836
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: being wrong. It happens might often. The only thing that

837
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: gives me pause with that is you know that they're

838
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: going to be correcting that eight ways to Monday night

839
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: between now and then after getting exploited the way they

840
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: did last week. So you're you're you're fine to test it.

841
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm just not convinced they're not going to have that

842
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: buttoned up by Monday night, and then you are going

843
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: to have to turn to something else. So that's my

844
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: only concern with that approach, because they usually don't get

845
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: beat on the same thing twice in a row, especially

846
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: in successive weeks. Let's go back to the phones and

847
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: we go to Joe and Tonawanda. Next, Joe, what do

848
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one bills live, oh Gays.

849
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with a real surprise. I'm gonna

850
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: go with Levi Wallace. Now that he's in the number

851
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: one position. You know, maybe he could actually prove himself

852
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: and turn his head around and get a pick instead

853
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: of running through the guy. All right, that was one thing.

854
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: My next question is for Steve rule both of you

855
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 1: guys on field goals and extra points? Why uh yeah?

856
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: Why is the ball placement sometimes on the left the right?

857
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: Why isn't it right down the middle every time? Is

858
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: there different rules for the extra points like the Cols game.

859
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: He kicked from the left and he hit the left

860
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: up right. If it was in the middle, it would

861
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: have went in. Well, Joe, what are the actual rules

862
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: for that? Tell you every time, Joe, I'll tell you

863
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: what the rule is. The team that's attempting the extra

864
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: point gets to pick where the ball's placed. Uh, all right,

865
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: So if the guy, if the guy picks the left

866
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: hash and hits it off the left upright, it's his

867
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: vault and he list just in. If he hits it

868
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: on the right up right and it hits the left

869
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: up right, if it hits the right hash, it hits

870
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: left up right, still his fault. So I get you,

871
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: but I got you know what is funny because I

872
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: was getting to ask that at home. We had some

873
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: people over washing. They go, why why is it on

874
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: that hash this time? Why? You know, because it you know,

875
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: you'd think middle's better, But the kickers are the kickers,

876
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, and and they like, I think it is. Yeah,

877
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,479
Speaker 1: I think it is. And if it's wonder I wonder

878
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: if it's a sight line thing for the snapper too, well,

879
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: it's also put it on the hash. Yes, it could

880
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: be that, And it can also be you want. They

881
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: typically if you're on the left hash, they rush from

882
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: the right side because it's more in line with the

883
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: goalpost right correct, So they you might like your offensive

884
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: line on that side better. They're better protectors, you know

885
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Um, But I think it has

886
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: more to do with the kickers more comfortable on that

887
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: on that side of the field, and you'll do it.

888
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: And my Bills in high Mark Stadium says, listen, the

889
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: winds come in this direction, I'm gonna put it over

890
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: here because the angle's better and the wind pushes it

891
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: more consistently instead of knocking it down or swirling that

892
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Forecast early forecast for Monday night here

893
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. Low of twenty nine, mostly cloudy skies,

894
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: wins out of the west southwest at ten to twenty

895
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: miles per hour. There is snow in the forecast, but

896
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: it's for the morning on Monday, not at night. Now.

897
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: We're still six days out. That could change five times

898
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: between now and then, but that's the early forecast for now.

899
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here because coming up

900
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: next making his weekly appearance from Good Morning Football is

901
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: one Kyle Brandt, who had a Bills nominee in his

902
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: Angry Run segment also gave us an all two kind

903
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: shout out last week where we review that as well

904
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,719

00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

908
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the stragedyre of normalcy.

Speaker 1: are the beating heart of the Bills media and they

915
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: do the local show One Bills Live every week, and

916
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago they were like, oh, come on,

917
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: this Patriots thing is over. It is stupid, ridiculous, over hyped.

918
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: And but then it's like, but are you guys scared?

919
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: You can't, absolutely terrified. We cannot even sleep at night.

920
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: And here he is one Kyle brand Uh, you appreciate

921
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: the shout out the checks in the mail, Kyle, But

922
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: my god, you made us look like a bunch of

923
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: quivering people in the corner of the fatal position. You

924
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: totally out of us. All right. First of all, I

925
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: called you guys the beating hearts. I thought that was

926
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: very nice. I take I was buttering you up. I

927
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: don't remember you calling the Patriots things stupid. That just

928
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: came out. I'm gonna have to wear that one. And

929
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: then I do really think my account of your one

930
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: eighty when I asked if you guys are scared? I

931
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: do think it did go something like that. Am I mistaken? No? No,

932
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: not at all. Ah, that's true. I knew it's a

933
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: big month of football we got coming up here. That's

934
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: why you lift all those weights. Yes, there's a big

935
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: stretch right here. And either I don't know halfier right now,

936
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: it's either gonna be the folding table manufacturers and Buffalo

937
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: or the psychiatrists. One of the two is about to

938
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: have an upshooting business the team, which one we're part

939
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: we're part time therapists on Monday's half the season anyway,

940
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, yeah it is. And I said

941
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: this as well, This isn't. For a long time, it

942
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: was the Patriots and everybody else in the division. It

943
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: was the Bill's Jets, Dolphins. Now at least, and I

944
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: hearkened back to the times when I was playing and

945
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: it was Don Shula and Dan Marino and Marv from Jim.

946
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: You get these particularly in this scenario where you got

947
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: these guys in the last half of the season and

948
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: it's within a month of each other, both games, it

949
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: is massive. The meaning of this game. It is massive,

950
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: and you we're gonna chew it up. We are chewing

951
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: this thing up. We got an extra day to do it.

952
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: And it comes down to we got all these Every

953
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: caller we got has a different strategy for beating these guys.

954
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 1: We have another caller calls up. He's got a different

955
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: fear to be afraid of for these guys, a different

956
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: thing to think about for these guys. It has been

957
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: a long long time since that. Even last year when

958
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: the Bill swept the whole thing, it's been a long

959
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: time since we've had a division in the division game

960
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: in the AFC East that's been this big. I know

961
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: you're right, it doesn't feel like back in the nineties

962
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: when it was that big and this big and on

963
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, number one scoring defense against the number

964
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: one total defense, and I don't know. I mean, I'd

965
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: be fascinated to hear what the callers are saying. But

966
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: I gotta say I was firmly in the camp last year,

967
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: and at the beginning of this year, I was starting

968
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 1: to write the book mentally in my head that listen

969
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: that twenty years that the Patriots that was Brady. Brady

970
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: was the tent pole that held that thing up. He

971
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: was the machine that made that go. In the Scorsese

972
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: DeNiro relationship he had with Belichick, no no, no, it

973
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: was all de Niro carrying those movies. And I have

974
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: a handoff I was wrong. It was not all Brady's magical,

975
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: Brady's Brady, but this Belichick thing now it's it's disappointed

976
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: if I speak for Buffalo like I was hoping that

977
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: he was some sort of quack who just got lucky

978
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 1: with the six round draft pick twenty years ago and

979
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: can't coach at all. But now here he is, and

980
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 1: he's got this other rookie quarter back, this h sort

981
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: of Anakin Skywalker King Joffrey Malgam who is doing things

982
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: that rookies aren't supposed to do. And if I look

983
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: at the game, I'm not sitting around witting for Mac

984
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: Jones to make a mistake. I'm waiting for other teams

985
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: otherwise to beat this team because I wouldn't count on that. Yeah,

986
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: And the thing that bothers me, And we've talked about

987
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: this several times with you, Kyle already this season, the

988
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,959
Speaker 1: physical front that they bring on offense, the running game

989
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: by committee granted, but still very effective, that has proven

990
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: to not be a great matchup for Buffalo. Whether they

991
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 1: have Tremaine Edmonds, whether they have Star Latoule or whatever else.

992
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: It's been a problem this year and Monday night they

993
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: better have it fixed. I know. I'm not. I'm not

994
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: here to do a page. It's infomercial. It's just the

995
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 1: fact is they haven't lost, and I don't know, going

996
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: on close to two months. And you know me, like

997
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: my wheelhouse is physical running. That's what I love. It's

998
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 1: the Anger runs and all that stuff. Here's our process.

999
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: We do Anger runs a good morning football. It's a

1000
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: producer and I this producer, Quab, this great guy, and

1001
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,879
Speaker 1: we look through all the most physical runs every single

1002
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: week to try to pick our finalists. I am telling

1003
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: you every single week, it's either this Damien Harris or

1004
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: this Remindery Stevenson, and a lot of times it's both.

1005
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they run so hard. They got this

1006
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: running back coach there, Ivan Fears. He's been there for

1007
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 1: over twenty years. He's been through all the Super Bowls, everything.

1008
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't think these are the most talented running backs

1009
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: in the league. I'm not saying anybody should be scared

1010
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 1: of them, but they're scared of nothing. They run really hard.

1011
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: It's going to take two or three guys to get

1012
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: them down. And if you buy into scar tissue that

1013
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,760
Speaker 1: Bills fans may have about Derrick Henry or Jonathan Taylor,

1014
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: the evidence is there. I'm telling you this game is

1015
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: going to come down to tackling the pay Riots running

1016
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 1: backs because Mat Jones is not gonna throw for three

1017
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards against this team. Those two guys,

1018
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: these two kind of unremembered, unspectacular, undrafted type players, got

1019
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: to bring them down because they they These guys have

1020
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: a full head of team. Every time they touch it,

1021
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: they're good. What do you think the Patriots think about

1022
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: Trey White being out for the season. How's that change things? Man?

1023
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: First of all, Steve, I hate it, and I know

1024
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: you guys have talked about it, and I don't want

1025
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: to hold another funeral for the twenty twenty one Trey

1026
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: White thing. But good God, I watched that. I was

1027
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 1: so pissed, and it's this feeling of God. I don't

1028
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: know anybody but Trey, not only what he means that

1029
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 1: the defense, just how he is as a person, the energy.

1030
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: Let me just take a moment and address it from

1031
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: my perspective and say, this sucks and I hate it

1032
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: and the injury. Gods are cruel and they demand sacrifice,

1033
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: but the Patriots and Bill Belichick are also really cruel,

1034
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: and believe it like we will find out very early

1035
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: how this secondary, this great, proud, passionate secondary, is going

1036
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 1: to figure out without him. And by early, I don't

1037
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: mean in the first quarter. I don't even know if

1038
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: I mean the first dry. It might be the first play.

1039
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 1: It may be the first play that they daka shot

1040
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: with this. Kendrick Bourne or all these guys were getting

1041
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: hot for them now, because damn, even when the Bills

1042
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: secondary wasn't playing its best game necessarily in a given week.

1043
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: They always had the juice, you know, those those guys

1044
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: always had energy and they're still out there. But the

1045
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: white thing, I'm not going to patronize any fans listening

1046
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: and say it's okay, it's not a big it's a

1047
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: big loss, and they all know that, and we'll find

1048
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: out how big. On Monday Night you mentioned Angry Runs.

1049
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: There was a Bill's nominee as well. In addition to

1050
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: the page it was Motor Singletary. I don't know if

1051
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: you were more fired up about his run or Sean

1052
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: McDermott's gritty sideline demeanor. I think I might have been

1053
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: most impressed, though, Kyle with the Testless Psychotic Supper album reference,

1054
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: how do you work that in? Well, listen, Brownie, you

1055
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: just have to pay attention because signs signs everywhere, the

1056
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: signs and it's a five man acoustical jam. Sometimes with

1057
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: that offensive line they have there, it's not what you got,

1058
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: it's what you give, and Devin Singletary gave everything. I

1059
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: did reference Tesla on the show today and it wasn't

1060
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't even on this play. The Jaguars have a

1061
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: safety who has long hair and he looks like a

1062
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: Roadie for Tesla, And when I'm in the middle of

1063
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: that ridiculous segment, things just pop in there and some

1064
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: synaps in my head fire that said I need a

1065
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: like an early nineties metal band, and I said, Tesla.

1066
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: But you are paying attention to so closely, Bronnie, because

1067
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: we're seeing everybody watching this right now, We're seeing the

1068
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: motor Singletary and there's McDermott, okay, and he's sort of

1069
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: doing that that flex. I'm the dip king in college type,

1070
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: hard tough guy clap. But I think that's a loaded

1071
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: celebration because I'll put it this way, if Josh completed

1072
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: a twenty six yard pass Sefon Diggs on the sideline,

1073
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing, I don't think McDermott is doing that.

1074
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: I think he nods his head and goes to the

1075
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: next play. He knows, he knows how big a big

1076
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: run for the Bills running game is, whether it Brita

1077
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: or Singletary. He knows what time it is with this

1078
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: running game, as we've discussed many many times, a running game,

1079
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: who again they're going to need Monday night. Yeah, I

1080
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: don't know how well versed you are in in McDermott's

1081
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: sideline demeanor. But he is a certified clap addict, Like

1082
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: it's a thing he's I don't know if you've seen

1083
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: it on our social media and stuff, but he is

1084
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: a clap addict. You're correct in the suit and saying too,

1085
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: it's his facial expression along with it. Yes, he's like

1086
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: he's got that. Yeah, that's what I like. Like, yes,

1087
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: he's doing it. And listen, we've seen a lot of clappers,

1088
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, Jason Garrett got a lot of run for

1089
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: being a clapper, but he is more of like an

1090
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: eighteenth green clapper, right, I feel like McDermott's doing reps

1091
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: and slapping him. Yeah, he's the guy. That's when you're

1092
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: that's when your homeboy has a has an alley fight

1093
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: and you're standing around and he's and he's winning. That's

1094
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,919
Speaker 1: that right there that I've been there, Right, So yeah,

1095
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: I like, you know, maybe your horse is coming in

1096
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, like you're you're fired up. Alright,

1097
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: we're officially in the weeds here. Let's get back on track. Yes,

1098
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: all right, So the AFC is an absolute It's a

1099
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Kentucky derby with a bunch of really good horses. I mean,

1100
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: everybody's coming down. They're at the three quarter poll. Now

1101
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're on the back street, at the

1102
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: top of the back street. I guess not coming down

1103
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: the stretch yet, but man oh man, there's a big

1104
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: bunch of horses coming down around the track in this

1105
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: horse race. How do you see this shaken out look

1106
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: at the AFC West. Three teams with six wins, one

1107
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: with seven. You got Baltimore, New England, Tennessee, Buffalo, Cincinnati.

1108
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: This is it's a lot of fun to look at

1109
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: right now with six games to play, It's incredible. So

1110
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't have said a better Steve. It's so fun

1111
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: because one of these teams is gonna shock us. I

1112
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: know it. There's gonna be a team that not only

1113
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: gets in, but wins a playoff game or two that

1114
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: we're not expecting. I gotta if I'm just gonna pick

1115
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: who I think is partly the strangest but partly the

1116
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: most exciting team in the AC race. Aside from Buffalo.

1117
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: This Cincinnati thing is crazy. I mean it really is,

1118
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: because just look at their season. They've got these unbelievably

1119
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: impressive wins where they look like they're the best of

1120
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: the team in the league, and then like they lost

1121
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: to the Jets, they lost to the Bears, like they've

1122
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: gotten their clock clean by Cleveland. And so I was

1123
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: just in the a FC. I'm like, I watched them

1124
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:26,439
Speaker 1: plagainst Pittsburgh. I'm like, is this like the current Warner Rams.

1125
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking at These teams are awesome, and yet the

1126
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: next week they'll completely let you down. The word is

1127
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: trust in the AFC. It's not who's good, because whoever

1128
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: is good is going to be terrible. The next week

1129
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: we sign the Ravens looked awful in a win. The

1130
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Ravens got destroyed by the Dolphins. I can go down

1131
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: the list. The Bills certainly have their wards. So the

1132
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: only teams you're looking at right now who are doing

1133
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: it consistently are New England. So I guess you could

1134
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: say Kansas City, who hasn't lost in a long time either.

1135
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 1: But I go back to my code always, if you

1136
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 1: if you're trying to find someone to trust and you have,

1137
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: you have to close your eyes and pick a team

1138
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: if your life depended on it head coach and defense

1139
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: head coach. In the quarterbacks are two up and down

1140
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: the offenses are hit or missed sometimes who is a

1141
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: dean who has a head coach? That brings me to

1142
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: New England. It brings me to Buffalo and maybe Baltimore.

1143
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: But those are the teams I would count on that

1144
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: just if you if all else fails, defense and head

1145
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: coach and who who who is currently in a playoff position?

1146
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: Now Kyle that a month from now, you wouldn't be

1147
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: surprised if they are just completely out of it. The

1148
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: jockey hit the whip way too early and they are

1149
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: just done on the backstretch and fading mightily. If you

1150
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: had to pick somebody that's currently one of the top

1151
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: seven that fade, I was thinking Tennessee because they're so

1152
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: beat up and their schedule is pretty tough the rest

1153
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: of the way, I think Tennessee. I think Tennessee. Brownie

1154
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: is the obvious answer, and they're they're trying, and look,

1155
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: I love rabel I really do. I love what he

1156
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: does with that team. It's tough. They know, Julio, no

1157
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: aj no Derek, one of those guys out would be

1158
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: really tough. Tannehill your favorite player, Brownie. I know you're

1159
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: a huge Ryan Tannehill fan. As good as he is,

1160
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: can't carry without all those guys. If anybody's just listening

1161
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: right now, quick quick sidebar. For some reason, like a

1162
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: month ago, Brownie like came off the top rope on

1163
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill as probably as least favorite player in the league,

1164
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: if not least favorite person in the world. So I

1165
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: know you're relishing this inevitable demise. Did you watch his

1166
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: performance last week? You watched his performance last week? What

1167
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: did he throw for eighty yards? That guy can't carry

1168
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: his own jock. He's not carrying a team. It's an amazing,

1169
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: amazing take Brownie that I respects okay to not like people,

1170
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: but I will also answer it this way. The Chargers,

1171
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: I can't. I want to love them, I really do.

1172
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: I think this Brandon Staley, their coach, is really smart,

1173
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: and I think he is afraid of nothing. Everybody likes Herbert.

1174
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: I knew they were gonna lose that game. But Denver,

1175
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: I just knew it. There was no way it was.

1176
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Denver was coming off a bye. They usually have the

1177
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: good success against the Chargers. They were going in Denver,

1178
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: and sure enough it's like, oh, Herbert, You're the next

1179
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: great thing. You know, You're the next Josh Allen, You're

1180
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: the next Mahomes. He throws two picks, it gets a

1181
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: rookie intercepts some two times. Like, I can't count on

1182
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: that team in December. I want to. I like the team.

1183
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: I like that they don't really have any home fans.

1184
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: They don't give a damn and they play every game

1185
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: on the road, even the ones in their home stadium.

1186
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: But they got trounced by like I think, kind of

1187
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: a middling Denver team, so Tennessee and and the Chargers

1188
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: are the ones I would not have faith. Yeah, Chargers

1189
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: are last in the league and run defense. To your point,

1190
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: do you have a defense? They do not? Yeah that

1191
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: no they don't. They got star players, but it doesn't matter.

1192
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: We're seeing these teams all of a sudden with star

1193
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: household names. They can't win a damn game. I mean, this,

1194
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: this thing we're watching with the La Rams is crazy.

1195
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: It's like they they've lost three in a row, they've

1196
01:04:56,320 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: they're getting trounced and they got the ninety two Dream

1197
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: Team recast and just think that they're gonna waltz to

1198
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. They can't stop anybody. You watch the

1199
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: game and Von and Aaron Donald aren't doing anything. It's

1200
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: really strange, and it's like they just have this funk

1201
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: and Stafford all of a sudden doesn't look like himself.

1202
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't expect anything from that seam either. It's tough.

1203
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: So this is where I'm sitting now. I look at

1204
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: this and it is a week to weekly. One week

1205
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: he's bashing Ryan Tannehill. The next week, the Tennessee's the

1206
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: one seed, right, I mean, it's it's gonna be that way,

1207
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be that way all the

1208
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: way to the end. Now I'm looking right now as

1209
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: we sit in Week one is a week eleven. We

1210
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: know it's like all week I keep think for htting

1211
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: the eighteen one team. All right, So we're in week

1212
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 1: thirteen and you've got teams as far back as Cleveland

1213
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: who's the twelve seed, Pittsburgh who's the eleven? And Indianapolis

1214
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: who's the ten seed. Yeah, I'll bet you one of

1215
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: those teams gonna make it. I know Cleveland, or I'll

1216
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: bet you Jim Maps can fight back in and I'll

1217
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: give you particularly particularly with Tennessee falling off them and

1218
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati the Chargers Buffalo at the five, six, and seven.

1219
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: You know they could any one of those teams could

1220
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: be replaced by a team that goes on a run.

1221
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Indianapolis is playing too good a football. I know they

1222
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: took a loss to the World Champions, but man old

1223
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Man and any of the Pittsburgh as well, that that

1224
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: tie may help Pittsburgh sneak in the back end. But

1225
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: man old Man, Innapolis for sure, for sure, go back

1226
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: in Denburg. I'm not a buyer in Denver. The Raiders

1227
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden have this like, uh, incredibly crispy

1228
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: game this weekend with Washington. Who knew the Raiders versus

1229
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: Washington was mattered, but it does. Um what was I

1230
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna say? Oh, yeah, Indianapolis, you have to ride on

1231
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: them too. I mean, how that was a really quality

1232
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: loss in which they ran, and you know, Wentz has

1233
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: played better than most And of course, Frank, we've talked

1234
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: about a million times. I still would ride with Indianapolis too.

1235
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: All right, So now I need your gauge on this scenario.

1236
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: So we here after the Packers game with the Ramps

1237
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: that OBJ apparently asked Davante Adams for a jersey swap,

1238
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: and then he tells him why don't you go ask

1239
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: for Cooper Cups jersey since that's who you wanted to

1240
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,439
Speaker 1: be with, because obviously the Packers were in the running

1241
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: for OBJ, which I know is a sore subject for you.

1242
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: You he's your Tannehill for you, so um, you know essentially,

1243
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: so you know Obj? Where where do you rank Davante

1244
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Adams on Smack Talk with that one? Because I got

1245
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: him right up at the top. Man, Okay, I'm actually

1246
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: gonna zag on this one, Brownie, Okay, I'm actually gonna

1247
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: go to OBJ because it is a great line by

1248
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,479
Speaker 1: Davante and he will have one and will you wanted

1249
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: to be with Cooper Cups? So once you go get

1250
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: his jersey. If I was Odell, I would have said, well,

1251
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: speaking of Cups, why don't you take a paper one

1252
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: and walk up to your front office and ask them

1253
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: to actually put some money in it for me? And

1254
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: then I would have joined the Packers. They offered me

1255
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: the league minimum, like you can't dial this thing up

1256
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: a little bit to win a Super Bowl. I actually

1257
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 1: think there's a the other foot drops because the Packers

1258
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: nickeled and dimed it like they always do. And that's

1259
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: the reason that Odell's not there, and you know, as

1260
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: the Packers are every single year, they're gonna be one

1261
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 1: player short of the Super Bowl. It's gonna happen. And

1262
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: maybe that would have been Odell. And I would say

1263
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:26,720
Speaker 1: this too, and I said this back in the offseason,

1264
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: and I and I was reiterated early in this season

1265
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: as the Packers play Pittsburgh. And there was a moment

1266
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: when when Aaron Rodgers is about to run a play,

1267
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's caught shorthanded and Mike Tomlin calls the time out

1268
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers gives him the man, that was a

1269
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: sharp time out. I had you, And Mike Common goes, oh,

1270
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: I know you did. I I have put Aaron Rodgers

1271
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh since March of this last year. This may

1272
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: be his last year in green Bay. Pittsburgh's gonna have

1273
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: a lot of caps based this next offseason, and that

1274
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: would be a transition from Big Bend to that they

1275
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: could make work in Pittsburgh with Aaron Rodgers. I just

1276
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: think you say Green Bay is gonna be one player

1277
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 1: away when Aaron Rodgers goes away, They're gonna be five

1278
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: players away. And I think I think you think that

1279
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I mean, and I love it, Steve, I

1280
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: totally respect it. It's a great it's a great take.

1281
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: Do you think the Steelers pay the ransom and whoever

1282
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: it may be in trade the Packers everything for Rodgers

1283
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: off season? I think for a month, I think so.

1284
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the key. Because Rogers wants to go.

1285
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 1: He may get out of the conference. The Packers will

1286
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: go along with that. That's fine, get him out of

1287
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: our conference, goes to another team, Fine, you can go

1288
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: to that team. But they've got capital they can give

1289
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: to us, and and we make we make the transition.

1290
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen. And I think depending and

1291
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think Roger's gonna take him deep,

1292
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: but not not to the super Bowl, not the way

1293
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: they're past. The only thing I wouldn't like it about

1294
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 1: it if I was Rodgers is that you look, the

1295
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: dirt secret about Rogers for all these years is that

1296
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: the Lions are always terrible and the Bears never have

1297
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Rogers would be signing up to go against

1298
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: Lamar and Burrow and who knows who for I don't

1299
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: know the next three or four years, at least this

1300
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: isn't like Brady going down to Tampa, you know, like

1301
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 1: where he's got what's left of Drew Brees and the

1302
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: Falcons and the Panthers. It would be tough. It would

1303
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: be tough for Rogers. But listen, I like that a lot,

1304
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: and I would only say the only reason that what's

1305
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna weigh huge in the offseason and now we're getting

1306
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: way into March night. For all that bat Packers chief's

1307
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 1: game is gonna play a role in what happens with

1308
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers because Jordan loved to not look the part,

1309
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 1: did not look ready. And I think it's gonna make

1310
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: the Packers much more loath to trade Rodgers to anybody.

1311
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: This thing is skill still has yet to play out.

1312
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: The only thing that any think about divisions? Who what

1313
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: other division would go to that has crappy quarterbacks? And

1314
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:54,719
Speaker 1: he started thinking about his hometown, the Niners. Yeah, Russ Wilson,

1315
01:10:55,680 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a dalla. He's got Tyler Murray, okay,

1316
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: and Matt Stafford, who I don't know. He's younger than

1317
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: Aaron I guess, but he's still he's you know, he's

1318
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: That may be the only other division that would satisfy

1319
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback who wants to go where he can be

1320
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: the better quarterback in every game he plays. I know,

1321
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: and it's true, and it's so fun to look at

1322
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: the map and see where he fits. Like I still

1323
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 1: don't know if if I'm if I'm one of the

1324
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: presidents and of the Packers, or if I'm Matt Lafleur.

1325
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm still lying down in the parking lot behind Aaron

1326
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Rodgers car and making him drive over me to leave

1327
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: the facility. I don't want him to leave. The crazy

1328
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: thing is about here's the thing about Rogers. If he

1329
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: had not missed the game that he had to miss,

1330
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: I think he's the MVP like again. Really, he really

1331
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 1: has been that good again, and he's out there destroying

1332
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 1: the rams with whatever injury he has, it doesn't have

1333
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: the game he had to sit out may actually keep

1334
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: him from winning an MVP again. When this is all

1335
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: said and done. He's been that good. Maybe six games left.

1336
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,640
Speaker 1: That's and maybe and a COVID if it's close and

1337
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: he loses. You don't want to be that game. And

1338
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 1: I hate to say it. Far be it from me

1339
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: to cast dispersions on our industry, but there may be

1340
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the media, the odd media person out there who will

1341
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: refuse to vote for him because he lied to them

1342
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: about being vaccinated. I mean I don't want. I mean, yeah,

1343
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if you know anything about this,

1344
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: Steve about finicky voters to get into hollowod institutions. I

1345
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you know anything about that. But there

1346
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: may be some people with the with Rogers who kind

1347
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 1: of hold the grudge or see I was in those

1348
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: rooms and you put me at risk, or you put

1349
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: my colleagues at risk. Who knows. Yeah, it's certainly possible,

1350
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: but frankly, like who else are you voting for? Brady

1351
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: is sort of just floating there. It's not going to

1352
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: be one of these running backs. That Taylor thing's not

1353
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 1: going to happen, and no other quarterback has gone and

1354
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: grabbed it. A lot of football left, but there's no

1355
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,759
Speaker 1: night and shining armor right now in that right Kyle, listen,

1356
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: we've kept you way too long. Thanks for going down

1357
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 1: Steve's rabbit hole with him. We do it about four

1358
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: times a week, so we appreciate that. And uh, hopefully

1359
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,600
Speaker 1: we're talking to you about the Bills being in the

1360
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: driver's seat for the AFC East next week. At this time,

1361
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: it is always a pleasure to cast dispersions with YouTube.

1362
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Thanks all right, Kyle be good, Yeah, all right, it's

1363
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt from Good Morning Football joining us. Always a

1364
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 1: pleasure having him on the show. Um, yeah, you were

1365
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: really going far out there with the Aaron Rodgers thing.

1366
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: And then he said, you know, the Packers think about it.

1367
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: They have been like that one player away for five years.

1368
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean they've been in the championship game and deep

1369
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They went't playoff game every year, it

1370
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: seems like, and they're always one or two players short.

1371
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: And then Rogers is he's been the guy. I mean,

1372
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: he's been everything that could have ever hoped for. He's

1373
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 1: playing unbelievable and he wants out and he wants out,

1374
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: and they've said and it kind of this big you know,

1375
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 1: collective conscious says, Okay, this is this is it, this

1376
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 1: is the last dance. This is I don't think they're

1377
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna have a meeting of the mind moments. I don't know. No,

1378
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything there or that there is

1379
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: enough things on the table that the Packers would do

1380
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,680
Speaker 1: to make Aaron Rodgers go maybe I will give him

1381
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,560
Speaker 1: another year or what's that gonna be? What would it be?

1382
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: There ain't nothing. There's nothing they can do to like say,

1383
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I you know, I yeah, I'm all everything.

1384
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: Everything in the past is all good. Now he's leaving

1385
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,639
Speaker 1: and I want to know where. And I think he's

1386
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna go to a team like Pittsburgh who has a

1387
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: tradition of putting good teams together. Kyle's one hundred percent right, though.

1388
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: That's a tough division to jump into. Tough, Yeah, but

1389
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: you gotta know that the Steelers are always like at

1390
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: the top. It may not be this year because but

1391
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: they got a six thousand year old quarterback who's kind

1392
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: of gutting it out. That's a team that can go

1393
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: right back to the top really quickly, really quickly, I think,

1394
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: and I and I think he'll see it that way too.

1395
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: I think that's a team that's just continually getting the

1396
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: most out of its roster. And Mike Tomlin is an

1397
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: impressive dude. He is an impressive dude. I don't deny

1398
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: that for a second. Um. Yes, Mike Tomlin actually had

1399
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 1: a comment today where somebody somebody was talking today in

1400
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: in the media. They were relaying something to Mike Tomlin

1401
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: about what Juju Smiths show Chase Claypool. Chase Claypool's said

1402
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: he thought that there should be music at practice. Practice

1403
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: would be make it more fun. And Tomlin's response is,

1404
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: Claypool plays wide out and I'll let him do that.

1405
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: I'll formulate the practice approach, and that division of labor

1406
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: is probably appropriate. Sit down and shut up. Basically a division.

1407
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: That guy he's the that's that's why that guy would

1408
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 1: appeal to a guy like Aaron Rodgers, who's who's forever

1409
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: the smartest guy in the room. Maybe not, Yeah, with

1410
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,959
Speaker 1: Mike tie and I think he would relish that relationship.

1411
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 1: All right, we'll put it on the board. We'll see

1412
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: if it comes true. We're gonna write that on the

1413
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 1: white board house. Yeah, right, with five thousand passing yards

1414
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: for Josh, we'll see if we get there. May not

1415
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna be an uphill climb. He's averaging more yards per

1416
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: per attempt or your more yards per game this year

1417
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: than did last year. Yeah, a little bit higher. Yeah,

1418
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's at the number he needs

1419
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 1: to be, though, we're gonna find out. You gonna have

1420
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: to spike that I'm gonna write that. I'm gonna get

1421
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: this on in this next break. There we go, all right,

1422
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: break time for us. When we come back, more of

1423
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: your phone calls. We've also got coach McDermott, who we're

1424
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: anticipating we'll be addressing the media here shortly. We'll bring

1425
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: that to you live as soon as it's available here

1426
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. It's

1427
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. We're gonna act to One bill is Live.

1428
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: We should mention that the referee assignments have been issued

1429
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: and for the Monday night game between the Patriots and Bill,

1430
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:06,680
Speaker 1: It's Bill Vinovich's crew and his crew averages Steve a

1431
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: league low eleven point seven penalties per game this season,

1432
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 1: according to ESPN stats in Info. That was a tweet

1433
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 1: by Mike Reeves's Patriots, So expect him clutching and grabbing

1434
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 1: on our receivers. I know it's kind of getting it called.

1435
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna come down to who can cheat best, right. Well,

1436
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: if that's the case, we don't have a chance, not

1437
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 1: against that team, right, So there you go. What are

1438
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Here's now. Before we went to the break,

1439
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: we were talking about what Josh you gotta do. I

1440
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: picked Josha threw for five grand this season because of

1441
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: seventeen games. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, So up to

1442
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 1: this point he's averaged two hundred and just shy at

1443
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty yards a game, two seventy nine

1444
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: point one eight. Last year it was two seventy four game.

1445
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: So he's on the same pace, a little little ahead

1446
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: of it, right. That projects if he kept going to

1447
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 1: seventy nine a game, that projects to about forty seven

1448
01:17:57,720 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: hundred and forty six yards. He's gonna co out about

1449
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 1: two hundred fift yards short, two fifty four yards short

1450
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: at the current pace. To get to five thousand, he

1451
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: needs to average three hundred and twenty one yards a

1452
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: game down the stretch for six games. And if the

1453
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: Bills split with New England, he's probably got to play

1454
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: the Jets game in Week eighteen. They're gonna need that

1455
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: AFC game, that's right, He's gonna need the game. So

1456
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 1: if they split with New England, he's gonna need he's

1457
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna need a couple of big monster games down the stretch. Now,

1458
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 1: you don't have to go like he doesn't have to

1459
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: have three hundred and twenty yards. He could have one

1460
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 1: of those three hundred and sixty five yards four seventy

1461
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: and then he can drop, you know, he can have

1462
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 1: He's got to average three twenty one and a half

1463
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: down the stretch to get to five thousand. That's gonna

1464
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: be a heavy lift. Yeah, will it will. I don't

1465
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: know that he's gonna make it, but he's in the ballpark, man,

1466
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna throw for over forty five hundred yards,

1467
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: that's for sure. All right, let's go to Tom in Lackawanna,

1468
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 1: who's waiting patiently? Tom, what do you have for us

1469
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's life? I just hit, ah, something

1470
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: I noticed in Thursday's game. I just hid a question

1471
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 1: on it and then if it should be corrected. I

1472
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: noticed throughout the third it might have happened in the

1473
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: first half. Throughout the third and fourth quarter, the left

1474
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: guard doctor just before Morris would snap the ball, he'd

1475
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:17,719
Speaker 1: put his right arm up to me. Isn't that false start?

1476
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 1: And if not, it was like a split second before that.

1477
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: Doesn't that tip off the defense that they're snapping the ball? Yeah,

1478
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 1: that's that's an account. That's a road snap count. Thing

1479
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 1: on a noise. It's a silent count thing where they've

1480
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: got everything set and he gives them. He gives the

1481
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: center is the guy that makes the calls. And when

1482
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: they get everything set, the guard turns around looks at

1483
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback because the center doesn't want to take his

1484
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: eyes off the defense, and so then the cent then

1485
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: the guard sticks his arm out and says, okay, we're

1486
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: all good, and then the center can snap the ball

1487
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: when he's ready or when when he's supposed to. Now

1488
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: it flashes his hand in his eyesight. Yeah, he's eyes

1489
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,679
Speaker 1: his hand. So the center gets a look at his hand, says, okay,

1490
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 1: we're all set. That gives him the go ahead. That

1491
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback set, the backfield set, and everything's good to go.

1492
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: Now what happens after that, whether it's snapped immediately or

1493
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: whether there's a delay, that's another story. I don't know

1494
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: whether it could be either. So, but that's how that works,

1495
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 1: and you'll see other teams do that as well. Every

1496
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: other team in the league just about does it. I'm

1497
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: a little surprised you haven't noticed if you're watching that.

1498
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 1: Last year, that's what happens. Last year there was less

1499
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: less of that hand flashing in front of the center.

1500
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: It was more tapping his leg right. Yeah. A lot

1501
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: of the guards last year would just tap the center's

1502
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: legs to say we're good. Yeah that they'll do that too.

1503
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: They'll just slap him on the thigh. Let's slap him

1504
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: on the thigh right there and say hey, we're good.

1505
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: And that's what it is. It's a communication thing. The

1506
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: center doesn't want to take his eyes off the defensive

1507
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 1: front because when he goes down to look at the

1508
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: quarterback the defense, the defense will shift on their front.

1509
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: He raised his head, snaps it and it's too late

1510
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 1: to make a call. So the center keeps watching all

1511
01:20:58,080 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: that stuff. The guard slaps him when the when the

1512
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,680
Speaker 1: backfield set and the quarterback then gives the cadence or

1513
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: the center snaps on a silent count. That's yes, it's

1514
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: a good notice by you, and it's pretty common. Back

1515
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 1: to the phones until Lauren and Webster. What do you

1516
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: have for us? Lauren, Hey, Chris, say see how you're

1517
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 1: doing good? A quick question on the defense? Um Ed

1518
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 1: Oliver is a stud I mean he's has a name

1519
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 1: for himself. But I'm just wondering about Greg Russell. I

1520
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 1: haven't really heard his name called, And I don't know

1521
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: if he can you know, if they can figure out

1522
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: what he can do more to help the defense because

1523
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 1: with him, I mean, the defense is pretty good with

1524
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: him with him there too. And I know he's a rookie,

1525
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: he's you know, time to learn, but I just wonder

1526
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: if he can, you know, just start this year and

1527
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: see what he can do it to help the defense

1528
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 1: out more. And another one last game, it was fourth

1529
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 1: and inches and they went out in the field and

1530
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: they're trying to get the off defense offside and then

1531
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: they didn't do it, and then they call it time out.

1532
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: Why would Shan McDermott call a time out on that, Well,

1533
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 1: probably because you want to get a free five yards

1534
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: and try and get them to jump to jump I mean,

1535
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: and certainly as the play wears on and they're not

1536
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: snapping it. You know, that's a thing. You know, you

1537
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: try and get him to jump off side. Then you

1538
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 1: take the time out just in case the other team

1539
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 1: is undisciplined. Um, you try it and not if you're

1540
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: ready to take a time out and the and the

1541
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 1: clock is not a factor, which it wasn't a factor,

1542
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: then you try it. Sean mcdermot's done that on a

1543
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: number of occasions. There's a couple of things that Sean

1544
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 1: McDermott does that a lot of other code I don't

1545
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,879
Speaker 1: notice other coaches do once in a while on crucial downs,

1546
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 1: you'll notice this. You'll remember this as well. He'll take

1547
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: a time out on the defensive side of the ball.

1548
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 1: Offense will come out, break the huddle, they're going to

1549
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: come out with a play, and there it's a crucial down,

1550
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: third and three and they've got to have they've got

1551
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,600
Speaker 1: to have this conversion, and a Sean will call a

1552
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: time out and then reset his defense so that if

1553
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 1: the team that's play, they're gonna run their best play

1554
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 1: now at least they have to run their second best

1555
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: play if they switch out of it, or they don't

1556
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:08,560
Speaker 1: know exactly what your defense is going to be, but

1557
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: you know what they wanted to do offensively. So he's

1558
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: done that as well. All both of those things, both

1559
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 1: the fourth and short trying to get him to jump

1560
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: off sides and taking that defensive time out, those are

1561
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: things that I've seen Sean doing a number of occasions.

1562
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 1: That gives you a little bit of an edge, small edge,

1563
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: no questions, and it's a you know, it's a basic move,

1564
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 1: no question, and most defenses will not jump off sides,

1565
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,600
Speaker 1: but you never know, and if you're gonna take the

1566
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: time out anyway, try it. And I think that's where

1567
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:42,560
Speaker 1: the case was. Any they were going to take a

1568
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 1: time out, and they said, well, you know what, let's

1569
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: see even get him jump off sides first and then

1570
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: take the time out. Let's quickly go to the tweet sheet,

1571
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:51,759
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by a Corrigan Moving System.

1572
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 1: It's the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills.

1573
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: In terms of who will be a surprise contributor for

1574
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 1: the Bills on Monday Night football against the Patriots, Bando

1575
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: says Dan Jackson stepping up with some big hits, Matt

1576
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: Breedo at that breakaway speed, and he's not alone. We

1577
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: had a couple of callers that suggested those guys, so

1578
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: not surprised that somebody picked those from Mark. I'd say

1579
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde when he turns turns receiver on Mac Jones,

1580
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 1: but then that wouldn't be much of a surprise. Mac

1581
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: Jones hasn't turned it over much this year. Mac Jones

1582
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 1: has been I think better than I think better than

1583
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: most Bills fans want to admit. Well, yeah, and I

1584
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: think we knew coming in Steve that of all the

1585
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this year's draft, he probably had the highest floor.

1586
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: He came in with the highest floor, so you knew

1587
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 1: he was going to be at least serviceable if and

1588
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: when he got the opportunity. And then they clipped Cam

1589
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 1: before the season even starts and off they go. But

1590
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: I would say that he has probably made more significant

1591
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 1: progress than most anticipated through the course of his rookie season.

1592
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: I think that's safe to say absolutely. And I've said

1593
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: this a number of times. You know, I do radio

1594
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:06,759
Speaker 1: interviews are around everywhere, and then we know you're in demand,

1595
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 1: right so these you know, these other teams that we're doing,

1596
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: having games with New Orleans and all that, I'll do

1597
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 1: radio interviews with their people. And and I think I've

1598
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:17,680
Speaker 1: said this a lot. I think the Patriots, and I've

1599
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: said it on this show. Patriots did it right with

1600
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback because they started getting ready to have

1601
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback last year when they had Cam Newton.

1602
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 1: They started revving up, they started getting they said, Okay,

1603
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: we don't have a defense, but let's see if we

1604
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: can get an offensive line back in here, start cultivating

1605
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 1: our run game, list, you know, all of this stuff.

1606
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: So when Mac Jones shows up, they've got a much

1607
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,600
Speaker 1: better offensive line, They've got a running game, and of

1608
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:46,600
Speaker 1: course when they got all their opt outs back, they

1609
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: knew they were going to have a better defense. Plus

1610
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: the addition of Judeon they went out in free agency

1611
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 1: and got two tight ends. I mean, how else do

1612
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:57,799
Speaker 1: you help a young quarterback. They revd up and started

1613
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: laying the groundwork for a rookie quarterback before they ever

1614
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:05,120
Speaker 1: knew who was going to be. And that's a huge lesson,

1615
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of franchises that just don't

1616
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: tend to think that far. Out last one here for

1617
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: this segment on the tweet sheet from one R two,

1618
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:17,560
Speaker 1: Tis Marquez Stevenson, Bills find a way to use his

1619
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 1: big playability and he makes a big play against the Pats.

1620
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would have a problem with that.

1621
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 1: If that happened. There was a roof on the building,

1622
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,200
Speaker 1: it might come off on Monday night. If something like

1623
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: that goes down, all right, we gotta take a break here.

1624
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 1: When we come back. Steve and I will close it

1625
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: up unless coach McDermott is ready to address the media.

1626
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: We'll be right back here on one Bill's Line Presenterbody

1627
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Colloid to health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, back

1628
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet here before we wrap things up.

1629
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:57,839
Speaker 1: Surprise contributor for Monday Night Game, Jack says Gabe Davis

1630
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: will make his presence felt and Sanders could make the

1631
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 1: difference in the passing game. I predict the Hood will

1632
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: double digs and we'll use linebackers to squad on underneath

1633
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: routes to limit Knox and Beasley. So it'll be up

1634
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: to Davis and Sanders to find the saft spots in

1635
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: the zones and get open fast. Yeah, this just in

1636
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 1: say the Patriots will do exactly that for a certain

1637
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 1: number of snaps, and they're going to do everything else

1638
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:23,600
Speaker 1: for certain number of snaps as well. The question is

1639
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 1: going to be can Josh see it? Then can the

1640
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 1: guys execute against whatever it is they do enough to

1641
01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:31,560
Speaker 1: move the football because the Patriots aren't going to do

1642
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 1: one thing defensively. I mean, I remember when you know

1643
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: Tampa went up there for the return of tom game

1644
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 1: and after the game, Brady said they threw the kitchen

1645
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 1: sink at us. They threw absolutely everything at us, and

1646
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 1: it came down to a potential game winning field goal

1647
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: at the end, which was missed and the Bucks held

1648
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: on nineteen seventeen. So yeah, I'm expecting all of that

1649
01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 1: and more. That's right. So you're gonna get I think

1650
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: Josh going to be taxed to the limit of what

1651
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: he sees and what's actually going to be played against him.

1652
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 1: They've got a much better defensive front than they did

1653
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 1: a year ago. Josh is gonna get pressured at times.

1654
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to sort through which rushers are coming,

1655
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 1: which rushers aren't. We might see that jumbled up line

1656
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,679
Speaker 1: of scrimmage like we did a year or two ago,

1657
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 1: where they had like seven or eight guys milling around

1658
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, none of them have their hand

1659
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 1: on the ground until the snap of the ball and

1660
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 1: you have to kind of sort through it. We'll probably

1661
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: see some of that as well. So yeah, it's gonna

1662
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 1: be very interesting game, and it's gonna come down to

1663
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:36,040
Speaker 1: who plays better, it's all there is to it, and

1664
01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 1: who makes the fewest mistakes. Last one here from Nick.

1665
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 1: I hope it's one of our defensive alignment. With Trey out,

1666
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 1: it's even more important that we can get pressure on

1667
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: mac Jones so he doesn't have time to get comfortable

1668
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:50,519
Speaker 1: and pick apart or secondary. I want someone like Rousseau

1669
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 1: or Epinessa to have a multi sack game. We really

1670
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen those two guys flash much in the last

1671
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 1: month or so, Steve. They've been sorely absent from the

1672
01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:02,560
Speaker 1: pass rush side of the ledger. Yeah. We had this

1673
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: a quick discussion about this, and you know that that

1674
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: old thing called the rookie wall. I don't know if

1675
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: it's a thing or not, but certainly those young guys

1676
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 1: are in the midst of a very long season, the

1677
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 1: longest in history. Yeah, and they're trying to adapt to it.

1678
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 1: We'll see. I don't write them off. Yeah. I think

1679
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: Rousseau has got to get his hands up on Monday

1680
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Night more than anything, because I think it comes out

1681
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,880
Speaker 1: fast with mac Jones. Getting hands up and batting down

1682
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 1: passes is almost just as good. Steve and I right

1683
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,479
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow to talk more Bill's Patriots. We'll see

1684
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 1: it at one
