1
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live presented by called Light to Health.

2
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: Here we be on a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve Jasker

3
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: with you. One Bill's Live is the show, and we'll

4
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: be diving into a bunch of stuff today, which we'll

5
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: get to in a second. Steve, do you have your

6
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Powerball ticket? Uh? No, not yet. I'm gonna get another.

7
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get one, so you better hold you better

8
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: hurt night. Right now? It's Wednesday night. Whether it's the

9
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: next yeah, oh yeah, today's Tuesday. Wednesday night's the next drawing.

10
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: There was a well there was a delay last night.

11
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: So they have drawings Monday Wednesday, and I want to

12
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: say Saturday, I believe is how it goes for Powerball.

13
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: And I just picked up a ticket last night at

14
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: the grocery store, came home just so we had it.

15
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: I wake up this morning, I'm trying to look up

16
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: the numbers. Can't find them. Where are the numbers? And

17
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: apparently there was a snaffo in Virginia. So there's these

18
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: stringent checks and balances for Powerball. I feel like there's

19
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: more for that than a lot of other more important things.

20
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: But when it comes to money, people are pretty strict anyway,

21
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: So there was no quote unquote Powerball winner for Monday night,

22
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: which was one point nine billion, because there was no drawing.

23
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: The winging numbers were finally drawn this morning. And the

24
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: reason why, Steve, we have the state of Virginia to blame.

25
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: That was the state that was causing the delay. Apparently

26
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: rampant ticket sales in the state of Virginia overran the system,

27
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: causing a delay in their checks and balances for their

28
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: security requirements to uphold the integrity of the game. Now,

29
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if it had been determined yet as

30
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: to whether or not there was a winner, because it

31
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: just got announced this morning. So I guess we'll find

32
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: out probably later today whether that jackpot is going to

33
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: increase and then get drawn on Wednesday. I am no mathematicians, Steve,

34
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: but isn't it fascinating to know how many people are

35
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: buying these dang tickets. They're doing random quick pick things

36
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: and stuff, and nobody's won this thing for like the

37
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: last three drawings. It's been like twenty You got hundreds

38
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: of millions of people buying most of them not buying

39
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: one ticket, but multiple tickets with different strings and numbers

40
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: and still nobody's hit the dang thing. That's just that's

41
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: crazy to me. Yeah, well but I think that just

42
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: goes to prove how astronomical it is that you or

43
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: I are going to win this dang thing. So yeah,

44
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: so there it is, just said he said the powerball

45
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: there was said there was one winner. Is this Thomas

46
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: Holland or a guy out there? Oh? There was one

47
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: winner in California? Is that what it was? Ah? Oh,

48
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: that's twenty million dollars. Oh yeah, that's right. They did

49
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: November ninth, gonna be that's tomorrow. It'll be a twenty

50
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: million dollars jackpot and somebody won, somebody one. Oh, for

51
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: goodness sake, there you go. Well the party's over, I

52
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: guess yeah, living the dream has come to an end.

53
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: We've all we've all been awakened from our slumber. Billions

54
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: of dollars dancing in our heads. Well, there you go.

55
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Well that was short lived, all right? One one guy

56
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: wanted one person? Wont it come on? Spread the wealth? Literally,

57
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: let's go. Really what is going on with that? We

58
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: have a different numbers discussion to have with you today,

59
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: and it concerns what is suddenly a real bona FIDE

60
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: race in the AFC East, and we'll get to our

61
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: Twitter poll in just a second, but first we have

62
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: to discuss the injury situation concerning the Bills, and there

63
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: are some pretty big names on Bill Buffalo's injury list

64
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: right now. We're still awaiting the return of Jordan Poyer

65
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: and Matt Milano and Tradavious White for that matter, from

66
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, his long recovery. Those three players, I think

67
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: all have a pretty good chance to come back this week,

68
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: but we'll obviously know more on Wednesday when they're back

69
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: out on the practice field and the injury report comes out.

70
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau, however, not the case. Steve suffered an ankle

71
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: injury in the Jets game on Sunday, left the game,

72
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: did not return in the second half, and coach McDermott

73
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: said it is a high ankle sprain. He is determined

74
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: to be weak to week, and that usually means he's

75
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: going to miss some time, certainly this week and maybe

76
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: even after that. So we'll have to wait and see,

77
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: especially knowing Spencer Brown had an ankle injury has missed

78
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: a few weeks now, So yeah, tough loss there on

79
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: the defensive front. And then obviously the one that everybody's

80
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: chewing their fingernails about. Josh Allen's elbow injury on his

81
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: throwing elbow. Suffered the injury late in the game, I

82
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: think when Bryce Huff hit him coming off the left side,

83
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: and you know, his elbow kind of got his arm

84
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: got bent backwards in an awkward way and he started

85
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 1: feeling his elbow after that. He did throw passes after

86
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: that play had happened, including seventy yard rocket down the

87
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: left sideline, but at that point in time, you know

88
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: he's playing on adrenaline, you know all that. So we'll

89
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 1: have to see what it is. We asked him after

90
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: the game and he said, slight pain. We'll get through it.

91
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: But today is the day where he's going to meet

92
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: with the doctors. He's going to get the MRIs and

93
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: the screenings and the examinations and all of that. And

94
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: basically where coach McDermott left it when he dressed the

95
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: media yesterday afternoon, he said, we're just going through it

96
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: and evaluating. We'll see where it goes. I'll know more

97
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: in the next twenty four hours and have more on

98
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: it Wednesday. We all know Josh and how competitive he is.

99
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: He loves competing out there with his teammates. I would

100
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: never count him out. The medical piece, we're still evaluating.

101
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: I'll know more tomorrow and update you Wednesday. So that's

102
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: kind of where we are. As you know, Bill's mafia

103
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: again choose their fingernails. Yeah, it's it's serious. I mean

104
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: that he had this same injury, well not same injury,

105
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: but the same elbow in two nineteen in the as

106
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: they made their push to the playoffs, got it hurt

107
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: in Houston in week five. Week five, missed four games.

108
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: So obviously there's never hasn't many long term problems with that. Um,

109
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: he hit that on a helmet. It wasn't like his

110
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: arm got bent back his arm hit a helmet on

111
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: a follow through. Um no, that's not right. No, No,

112
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: I thought I could get in the pocket his arm.

113
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 1: He threw the ball and his arm came down. Somebody

114
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: hit him and it bent his arm. I thought it

115
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: inverted and it was the same. I don't know they,

116
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: but that hurt him immediately. He couldn't continue with that.

117
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Remember the doctors came out on the field back in

118
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: the eighteen or nineteen and they could feel Yeah, eighteen

119
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: they could feel that in there, so uh he had

120
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: that that was the same elbow too. I don't know

121
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: that this is the same one as that, But they've

122
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: been down this road before. Last time it was four weeks. Um. Yeah,

123
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: helmet hit him. It got sandwiched by a helmet and

124
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: shoulder pain. Yeah. Um, and it got it got bent

125
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: bent inward and in and out way. It's the same

126
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: kind of motion, um that the hit on Sunday entailed.

127
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: So you would hope that he's not out for that

128
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: long because that would get a little dicey. Uh what

129
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: did you make I don't want to read too much

130
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: into what coach McDermott said, but what do you What

131
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: do you make of his comment that he'll never count

132
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: Josh out. Is there something to be read into that

133
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: or is he just speaking generally about his competitive nature? Oh?

134
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I don't. There's no way he can

135
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: know how that is hurt. I don't think we're getting

136
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: anything disinttinuous. I mean, if Josh can go, Josh's gonna go. Um.

137
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that says anything about the injury. I

138
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: think he trusted Josh in his judgment. But yeah, I'm

139
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: not reading anything into it. It's a good question though. Yeah,

140
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: and so obviously we'll find out more tomorrow. We'll have

141
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: full coverage that here on one Bills Live. And you know,

142
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: coach was also asked about case Keenum. Naturally, you know,

143
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: the media already thinking about the possibility of case Keenum

144
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: having to start for the Bills, And essentially he was asked,

145
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, why are you glad you have case Keenum

146
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: on the roster, this, that, and the other, And he said,

147
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: he's a veteran player who's taken a lot of snaps

148
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: in one games. Just his presence on our team carries

149
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: an influence in a unique way. He knows his role.

150
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: It's been good to have him with us here. And

151
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: I went to look up Steve. The last two starts

152
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: by case Keenum in the NFL. They came last season

153
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: with Cleveland Week seven against Denver twenty one or thirty three,

154
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: passing for one hundred and ninety nine yards and a

155
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: touchdown ninety point three rating. They beat Denver seventeen fourteen

156
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: Week seventeen starts again Cincinnati seventeen of twenty four one

157
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six yards, two touchdowns in a pick

158
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: one oh two rating. They won twenty one sixteen, So

159
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: he won his last two starts last season for Cleveland,

160
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: and people are like, oh my god, one hundred and

161
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine passing yards, one hundred and seventy six passing yards.

162
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you, if Case Keenom has to

163
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: play on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, people are going

164
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: to have to adjust their expectations because you're going and

165
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: that's no knock on Case, because you're talking about one

166
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the entire game, and then

167
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: you're going down a peg on the depth chart. There's

168
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: a reason they're one and two on the depth chart.

169
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: So people are going to have to adjust their expectations accordingly.

170
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: I think sure. I mean, it's it's not about Case

171
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: Keenom winning the MVP. It's about the team just eking

172
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: out of victory over an NFC opponent, which, by the way,

173
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a little poetic poetic justice, case

174
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: Keenum going back and playing against the Minnesota Vikings might

175
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: be it. You know, he'd led them to a thirteen

176
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: and three record a few years ago. I'm trying to

177
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: remember how many did he play that year. I don't know,

178
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: but he connected with Steph Diggs on the Miracle in

179
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Minneapolis as well, So there's a little something in that,

180
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: I think, But this is yeah, this you're not Your

181
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: expectation of the team is to win with case Keenum

182
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: or not or Josh Allen. How what it looks like

183
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: is certainly going to be vastly different between those two guys, right,

184
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: So that was the twenty seventeen season. Let me see.

185
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: He started fourteen games. Yeah, they went eleven and three

186
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: with Keenum in the lineup. Completed sixty a little over

187
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: sixty seven percent of his passes, thirty five hundred yards,

188
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: twenty two touchdown, seven picks, and he was the What

189
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: is this he got? I think he got an award

190
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: that season. Let me see what it was he was.

191
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: Let me see where are we? I think he was

192
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: second in voting. Was that for Offensive Player of the Year?

193
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: Now I can't find it. I'll try to find it

194
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: during the break, But oh, here he is Comeback Player

195
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: of the Year. That's what it was. He was second

196
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: in Comeback Player of the Year voting to only Keenan Allen,

197
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: who had been out for the year and then had

198
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: a monster season with the Chargers. So that's interesting. Yeah,

199
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought of that. That's, of course five years

200
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: in the rearview mirror. I was more pleased to see

201
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: that he had won his last two starts last season.

202
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: You know, what have you done for me lately? You

203
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But it'll be interesting to see

204
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: what comes down the pike here in terms of Josh's

205
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: status going forward and what the team is looking at,

206
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: because you know, after we heard from coach Dorsey yesterday

207
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: that you know, they're trying to look for some things too,

208
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: better in corporate Gabe Davis into the flow a little

209
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: bit more often. They're trying to find a way to

210
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: more effectively utilize the run game and get more production

211
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: from it when they turned to it. So there are

212
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts right now, and Josh Allen

213
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: is an additional potential moving part. Based on what the

214
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: examinations and MRI say today about his elbow injury, let's

215
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: see where it goes. It's not as bad, There's no

216
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: way it's as bad as the one he had suffered

217
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen, his rookie season that

218
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: kept him out four Yeah, it didn't look there's no way.

219
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't react the same way he heaved

220
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: and has said the next pass he threw was a

221
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: third down pass that was short and he kind of

222
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: short armed it and it didn't look good. And then

223
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: the next throw he heaves at seventy yards and throws

224
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: it and puts it right between the one and the

225
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: three on Gabe Davis's jersey, nevertheless, was incomplete. So structurally

226
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to think there's something wrong with it.

227
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: But Payne is another issue that is true. There's no

228
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: debating that. We want to take one last look at

229
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: what the heck went down in Indie yesterday. Jeff Saturday

230
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: the new head coach. His only coaching experience is as

231
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: a high school coach for a team down in his

232
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: native Georgia, and Jim Ersey at a heck of a

233
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: press conference last night. He was talking analytics and top

234
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: court tiles and you know, fourth winning his team since

235
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and There's already a bunch of spoofs out

236
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: there on what Ersay was talking about last night. I

237
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if Saturday Night Live takes a hold

238
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: of that and runs with it, especially with the head

239
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: coach being his last name is Saturday. So yeah, I

240
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have a field day with that. I

241
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: don't know it. There's there's I say. It just seemed

242
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: like a wayward franchise. Well they are, and right now

243
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know Jim Ersey at all, um,

244
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: but there's no doubt to me, there's no doubt anybody

245
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: affiliated with the franchise, even a fan or whatever, can

246
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: There's no way you can have positive expectations for how

247
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: this is going to turn out for Jeff Saturday. There's

248
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: just no realistic way for this for the expectation to

249
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: being any other than abject failure. Having said that, to me,

250
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: given what we know about football, that's exactly the way

251
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: Jim Ersey wants it. They want first pick of the draft.

252
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: They brought in a guy who's gonna take one for

253
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: the team. I mean, you know, m Jeff Saturday has

254
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: been a consultant for Jim Ersey since his I guess

255
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: since he retired, and now Ersey's asking him to come

256
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: in take it over for a few months and during

257
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: the interim, no doubt the Colts will be conducting interviews

258
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: for their future head coach to whoever they can, whoever's

259
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: not working at the time, or who is available for

260
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: a h an interview. But there is no way anybody

261
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: can look at that situation and think that they're the

262
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Colts are not tanking the rest of the season. They

263
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: are absolutely thrown in the towel. Now they say whatever

264
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: they want publicly, but they just hired a guy off

265
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: the street to be a head coach of a multi

266
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: of a multi billion dollar business in a multi billion

267
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: dollar industry that is highly competitive and even in the

268
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: AFC South right, Sorry, was right. There's no way this

269
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: is gonna go well for Jeff Saturday. Absolutely no way.

270
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: That's what it is. So that's why. And you know,

271
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm not even caught up in the Rooney rule and

272
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: the fact that they hired an interim head coach from

273
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: outside the building, which is never done, ever, ever done.

274
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: That's you got to be off your rocker to bring

275
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: somebody in and outside the building. Not for nothing. You

276
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: got Gus Bradley and John Fox on your staff who

277
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: have been head coaches before. And if you're going to

278
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: go for that Bubba Ventrone guy who is an up

279
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: and coming assistant coach who's considered to be and if

280
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: you want to go for somebody who has been a

281
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: play Reggie Wayne is on the staff, who's a Hall

282
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: of Fame worthy player. So they absolutely this hire, absolutely

283
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: knowingly sabotages any success they could possibly have the rest

284
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: of this season. They're gonna they could go over absolutely

285
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: over the rest of the way, and that's I think

286
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: what they want the master plan. Yeah, Monday Night football.

287
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: If you want to assess the depth of talent of conferences,

288
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: the AFC certainly looked good last night against NFC. Of course,

289
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: the Saints are in the worst division in football, arguably

290
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: the NFC South. As the Ravens handled the Saints without

291
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: an issue twenty seven thirteen. Justin Houston looked like he

292
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: took a dip in the fountain of youth. I think

293
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: he had two sacks and an interception. And Lamar Jackson

294
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: played a really good game. He looked The Saints defense

295
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: looked slow. I know Lamar Jackson is fast, but the

296
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: difference in speed with defensive backs and Lamar Jackson should

297
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: not be as great as it looked last night when

298
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: he took off and started running some in that game,

299
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: and it really wasn't much of a game. And it's

300
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: interesting too. The Bills beat that team. They looked good

301
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: last night. We know that. We've seen it here Rokuan

302
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: Smith a linebacker for them. Now, yeah, that's a that's

303
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: a big, huge boost for them. But the Baltimore Ravens

304
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: have that unique offense and Greg Roman does an outstanding job.

305
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: They do a lot of motions, misdirections, and with the

306
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: speed in their backfield starting with Lamar and everybody else,

307
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: they get to the edge fast. And their offensive line

308
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: is good too. It moving guys around so they can

309
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: go power and speed with the ball on the ground

310
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: and that's a huge boost. And they don't throw it

311
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: as well as a lot of teams do in the NFL.

312
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: But Lamar does have a strong arm and on throws

313
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: he makes, they're accurate. Baltimore is a problem, you know

314
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: for teams going in. They are a really tough team

315
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: to beat and going forward, I think they're gonna get better,

316
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: gonna get better. That should Last night was a showcase

317
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: of why they're tough to beat. Indeed, there has been

318
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: a game that has been flexed the first I think

319
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: this is the first flex of the season. I think

320
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: it is right week eleven, the Chiefs at the Chargers

321
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: has been flexed to Sunday Night football as basically Sunday

322
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: Night says give us all the mahomes you got, I mean,

323
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: it was just on Sunday Night this past week. He's

324
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: gonna be on in week eleven against the division rival Chargers,

325
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: as that game has been flexed to Sunday night. The

326
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: game that was in that spot was Bengals at Steelers,

327
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: and with the Steelers firmly and also ran status, that

328
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: game has been moved to four twenty five pm on CBS,

329
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: So that'll be the big or a clock window Kansas

330
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: City's playing on primetime someplace other than Kansas City. Yeah

331
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: for once, right, Wow, there you go, So that game

332
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: will be out in LA. As Steve mentioned, week eleven

333
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: flex to Sunday night Chiefs at Chargers. The Monday night

334
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: game that week is San Francisco Arizona. And that's the

335
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: week that Miami, the Jaguars, Theahawks, and Buccaneers are all

336
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: on buys. So that'll be they'll start white wrapping those

337
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: up here a week week thirteen or fourteen at the buys.

338
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: Quit stop. I'll have to check. I thought they updated

339
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: it to I think week eleven. I think week eleven's

340
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: the last week. Is that I'll have to check it out.

341
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm checking. Okay, you let me know. Yep, that's the

342
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: last week. Week eleven's the bye. Yeah that's what I

343
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: thought it was. Um, yeah, that's the last week. Teams

344
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: are often then it's seven weeks sprint to the finish

345
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: or a six weeks sprint to the finish. We got

346
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: to get the topic of the day out to you

347
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: because after eight games played for the Bills, the AFC

348
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: East Race has some credibility. It is officially a race

349
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: now with three teams with six victories. And you told

350
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: me today the Patriots had five. I said, are you sure?

351
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: And they do. They have five victories. So three teams,

352
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: four teams, sorry, all four teams within two games in

353
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: the lost column of one another, including three six win

354
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: club or three six win clubs. And so we're asking

355
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: you today in the AFC East for the second half

356
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: of the season, give us your favorite, your top contender,

357
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: your dark horse, and your bottom feeder for this AFC

358
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: East Race. How do you think this thing's going to

359
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: finish out? You let us know at eighth three oh five,

360
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

361
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: or hit us up on the tweet sheet at one

362
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: Bills Live, Steve, do you have a order of finish

363
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: just like it looks? Oh? Really, you're gonna keep it

364
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: right like that. I from what I saw this last

365
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: week of the Jets, I'm more afraid of the rematch

366
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: with the Jets than I am with the rematch of

367
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I'm surprised by that. I think the Jets

368
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: defense is a real problem. The Dolphins offense has really

369
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: found itself, no question, and two is playing out of

370
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: his mind, playing really good football. Tyreek is putting up

371
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: huge numbers. I like the Bills playing against those guys.

372
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: I think they can match up with them better than

373
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: most teams can. And I don't think two of presents

374
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: as many problems as you know Zach Wilson did if

375
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: he can, just because Zach Wilson's margin of air is

376
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: much larger. To me, their defense gives them a chance

377
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: and their run game gives them a chance. Miami does not.

378
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: And I think the Bills are gonna be highly motivated

379
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: against Miami and against the Jets too. But I just

380
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: and New England I don't know, let's just wait and see.

381
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: But New England's got too many problems. They're starting to

382
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: get it together. They are five five and three football

383
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: team or five five and four football team. New England's

384
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: playing really good football too, a little bit better on defense,

385
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: they're still patching it together. On offense, they can run

386
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: the ball. But the word up there is they feel

387
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: like mac Jones is regretting. And we'll have NFL Networks

388
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: Mike Giardi on us in the second hour the show

389
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: to talk AFC East with us, and he lives up

390
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: that way and he's got his ear to the ground

391
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: up there in New England, so we'll get a better

392
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: assessment as to just what's going on up there, because

393
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: they feel like mac jones game is going backwards, not forwards,

394
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: and they're relying heavily on a run game and a defense,

395
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: and it's been enough to keep their head above five hundred,

396
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: but not by much. And they haven't had a very

397
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: difficult front half of the schedule, unlike the Bills, who

398
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: kind of ran the gauntlet early, you know. And yes

399
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: they've gotten Minnesota this week, but I think by and

400
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: large most people would think Buffalo's tail end of the

401
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: schedule was easier than the front half, especially considering all

402
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: the teams that are at the top of their respective

403
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: divisions that the Bills have played already. So with that

404
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: in mind, you kind of wonder, is New England gonna

405
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: stumble here? Is their series of opponents gets a little

406
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: stiffer down the stretch, believe so my favorite remains the Bills,

407
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: my top contender. As we're looking at our MSG viewers

408
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: are looking at the Patriots schedule the rest of the way.

409
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: They have the Vikings as well. They have to play

410
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: the Bills twice, which won't be fun. They have to

411
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: play Miami once, and they have Cincinnati. The other teams

412
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: not so difficult, but both are on the road, two

413
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: long trips to Arizona and Las Vegas. Las Vegas obviously

414
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: a beatable team, they're not beating anybody these days. Arizona

415
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: is kind of you never know what you're gonna get

416
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: with them. You might have a shootout game or they

417
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: might be awful. So two very inconsistent teams in the

418
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: middle of what they have left, but some tough games Minnesota,

419
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo twice, Miami, Cincinnati. Those would be tough games for

420
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots. But for me, Steve, my favorite remains the

421
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: Bills in the division. Top contender for me is Miami

422
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: dark horses, the Jets. Bottom feeder is the Patriots, which

423
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: I said was a distinct possibility a couple of months

424
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: they could be last in the divis. The only reason

425
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was because I thought the Jets were

426
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 1: going to make some strides. I wasn't thinking they were

427
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: going to be this good this early. I don't know

428
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: if I'm as concerned about your matchup issues with the Jets.

429
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,239
Speaker 1: The reason I think Miami is a better team than

430
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: New York right now is because they can put up points.

431
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean they're quickly. They're now in the top ten

432
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: in scoring Miami because of what they've been able to

433
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: do offensively. The ironic thing, Steve, is Miami all of

434
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: a sudden can't stop people. Their defense is having problems,

435
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: which is part of the reason they traded for beat

436
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb at the deadline, hoping he could provide some

437
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: more pass pressure reduce the effectiveness of opposing passers against them.

438
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: But they're having all sorts of problems. Their run defense

439
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: ranking has slipped in recent weeks. They're now twenty fifth

440
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: in the league and points allowed. They got problems on defense,

441
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: which I don't think at the beginning of the season

442
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: anybody would have thought that was the question. The problem was, Hey,

443
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: is their offense is going to be able to produce?

444
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: The whole script is flipped down there. They're winning games,

445
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: but they're not stopping anybody. They got to score thirty

446
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: points now to win. I don't yes to me, that's

447
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of the atmosphere. You're trying to catch Kansas City

448
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: and you're trying to catch Buffalo. Yeah, that's what you

449
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: gotta do. You gotta score. And Mike McDaniels put together

450
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: a whale of a scheme down there because teams are

451
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: having trouble with it. They're struggling. They're struggling with their

452
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: run schemes. And they can do both. They can do

453
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: that pin and pull. They can also do zone reads too.

454
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: The thing that Miami doesn't have is a quarterback that's

455
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: really mobile like the other teams in the conference do Baltimore,

456
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo and go down the list, but he gets it

457
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: out so fast it doesn't matter. That's he does. Get

458
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: it out fast. And as long as they can do that,

459
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: that gives you know, fine, if they can, if they

460
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: can win that way, but if the ball comes out fast,

461
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna go deep all that Often. The only

462
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: time they can do is if they play action and

463
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: give him a chance to drop back and set it

464
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: up and he can wind it up and throw it

465
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: early because his guy's out simply outrun his arm. So

466
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: the limitations of Miami's offense are your quarterback's not gonna

467
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: make a first down with his legs, he's not gonna

468
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: beat you with his legs, and his arm strength doesn't

469
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: make you defend everything deep down the field. Other than that,

470
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: they're clicking on all cylinders, and unless their defense gets

471
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, that lucky stop or a tipped interception something

472
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: like that, you're gonna it's gonna be one of those

473
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: games like we all thought Bill's Chiefs were gonna be.

474
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: That's where That's where these teams are. They're chasing Josh

475
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: Allen and Pat Mahomes. They're all chasing them, and they

476
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: got to build their They gotta build their teams to

477
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: give themselves a chance. Curiously, the Titans are doing the

478
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: same kind of chasing, and they continue to do it

479
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: a different way. They just don't care. Yeah, which is interesting. Well,

480
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: they they're kind of and they were reminded that, well

481
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: they had Malik Willis. Yeah, I mean, so I get it.

482
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: And so a rookie coming in trying to make this

483
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: happen was going to be rough in Kansas City anyway.

484
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, they came close. They came close.

485
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: They failed grind out games with the best of them. Tennessee.

486
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: I We've said it a bunch. There's a bunch of

487
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: guys out there, a bunch of coaches out there that

488
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: are a lot of them are worthy of a lot

489
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: of respect. And Vrabel's got it for me and also

490
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: does Mike Tomlin as well as our guys here. And

491
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: there are guys around the league that I really kind

492
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: of like, Wow, that guy's pretty good, you know, beating

493
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll in Seattle as a guy like kind of

494
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: like kind of nod your head at he knows. Kyle Shanahan,

495
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: same thing. But the Tennessee Titans and John Harball is

496
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: the same thing. I like John Harball a lot. They

497
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: those coaches make philosophical choices and then due to the

498
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: I guess they're good relationship with the GM or maybe

499
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: their power with a New Yorkers. They get their roster

500
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: built how they need to to win like that, they

501
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: get it done. John Harbaugh transformed his offense from Joe

502
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: Flacco standalone tall pocket pocket guy and turned it into

503
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: this Lamar Jackson thing and did it in like a

504
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: year and a half and turned it into this unbelievable

505
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: this thing we saw last night. I mean, it's hard

506
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: to defend, fast, powerful, throw it well enough, and a

507
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: defense that's you know. Now they got Roquan Smith, that's

508
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Did you see that guy play

509
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: last night? He gets to the spot pretty quickly. His

510
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: lights are on right. I mean that guy knows what

511
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: he sees it. So all these coaches that you know

512
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: that are like that and make these philosophical choices and

513
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: go with it. You can, you can win a different way.

514
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, think of how many hoops Tennessee

515
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: has to jump through to win and Baltimore has to

516
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: jump through to win. And they're and they're both still

517
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: trying to catch teams like Buffalo in Kansas City with

518
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks that can sling it from the pocket and

519
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: then extend the play unmercifully. So it's fun to think about,

520
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: but most of the teams we're talking about or in

521
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: the AFC. We've got to take a break here, but

522
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400

Speaker 1: AFC East Division race. We'll take your phone calls next.

525
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: Have to step aside here, but Lew and Rochester, Kevin

00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: and Hamburg, Marie and Emperor's Tank Tight. We'll get to

527

Speaker 1: all three of you next. Here on One Bills Live

00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: the phones in half a second here. Kyle Brandt, as

534
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, has his weekly podcast called Kyle Brandt's Basement

535
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: and on Tuesdays he has Josh Alan sitting in with him.

536
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 1: Kyle brand Is announced he has canceled his podcast with

537
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: Josh this week. He is citing logistics because he is

538
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: still in Germany for the upcoming game this week. Over there,

539
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: there was one last week, there's one this week. I

540
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: don't know. We could read into that whatever we want.

541
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine that Josh for an hour doesn't want

542
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: to talk about his injury. That would be my that

543
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: would be my thought on that. So no, Kyle Brand's

544
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: Basement podcast today or maybe Brandon Bean or Sean McDermott

545
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: or somebody said, Josh, you need to not talk about

546
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: it if you're going to do this podcast, and Josh said,

547
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna be able to and

548
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: he said no, you get said, we don't know. We're

549
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: speculating either way. Listen, we're gonna get an injury report tomorrow.

550
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna be limited, and it's gonna be hopefully it'll

551
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: be day to day. That's what we're gonna Can I

552
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: just cross your fingers and toes. Well, yeah, and if

553
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: if it's not day to day, it'll be away's week

554
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: to week. And if he's out this week, we may

555
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: find out. We were having this conversation, say say Josh

556
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: is not going to play this week, and you always

557
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: hear that, and the Patriots did it a couple of

558
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: weeks ago with Mac Jones and his ankle injury with

559
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy. They didn't you know, mac Jones going to

560
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: be back in is he not? And Mac Jones couldn't

561
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: even step to throw a football, but they kept it

562
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: out there that he may or may not play. I

563
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: think the Bills will probably pop it out there as

564
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: soon as they know. They'll say, hey, listen, we're gonna go.

565
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: And because then your locker room gets a chance to

566
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: rally around it, and they don't have to dodge the questions.

567
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: They don't have to worry like, well, I don't know

568
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: if Josh you're gonna play or not, you know where

569
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: they don't have to lie to their friends if indeed

570
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: the team is trying to get away with something and

571
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, not to let anybody know Josh is not

572
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: playing all that stuff. So I think he come out

573
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: and you just say, hey, he's out. There was a situation.

574
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: They did it with Poyer last week. Yeah, they put

575
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: he was out like Wednesday or Thursday as well, that's right.

576
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: So I think they'll do that with Josh so that

577
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: their team can rally around case Keenum and whoever it is,

578
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: and they'll they'll be ready to go. So if it

579
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: is going to be that Josh isn't out, and he

580
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: comes out tomorrow and says, well, he's day to day.

581
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: If he's day to day, Josh's got a chance to

582
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: be in there. But if they know he's not, they'll

583
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: probably come out and say, yeah, he's out. Yeah. Let's

584
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: go to the phones though, now, as promised, because we

585
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,479
Speaker 1: asked you for your favorite, your top contender, your dark horse,

586
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: and your bottom feeder for the AFC East Race, how

587
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: is it going to finish up here? Three teams with

588
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 1: six victories and the Patriots behind those top three with five?

589
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Let's lead off with lou and Rochester. What you got

590
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: for us? LOUI, You're all one, Bills live. Hey guys,

591
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: great show as usual. Thanks AFC East. I'm going with

592
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: New England is the bottom feeders, Okay, I'm just I'm

593
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: just not impressed him with their winning recently. I'm not

594
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: impressed with them. And as far as the Jets in Miami,

595
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: you can somersault down, but I gotta go with Miami

596
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: because the quarterback situation, He's I have more consequence in

597
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: ta than I do m Zach Wilson. So that's why

598
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm putting my Miami second. And the Bills built healthy

599
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: Josh Allen bills are on top number one? All right,

600
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: and let me could I make one quick comment on

601
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: the next week. Um, First of all, I'm not liking fan,

602
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: and I really want to. I want to see Josh

603
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Ellen in there only because I want to see how

604
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: good we are. We're seven to one, yeah, but I'm

605
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: not impressed. As a fan, I'm not impressed. So it

606
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: would have been a nice test to see them against

607
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: the healthy Josh Allen. Did you watch him, Lucy? Did

608
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: you watch him every week? What? What is it that

609
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: doesn't have you sold on your seven and one football team?

610
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: They can strike the Vikings constrike, they can strike quickly,

611
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: but they go into periods where they just do nothing

612
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: on offense. Okay, you know, too many, too many threas

613
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: and outs. They There's no reason for a team that

614
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 1: well built to go three and out. And I blame

615
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 1: in my cousins. Okay, I've never believed in the guy,

616
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, and now that I see

617
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: him without a shirt and what they bling around him,

618
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: I have I have even less confidence in I'm okay,

619
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: to be honest. So you know it's gonna come passion

620
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,959
Speaker 1: down I feel we're gonna, you know, once, we haven't

621
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: played anybody really that good. And that's why I wanted

622
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: to play the Bills with Josh all I think we lose,

623
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: but as a barameter, I would see how much he lost,

624
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: by how good a game it would have been. And

625
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: now if he doesn't play, to no win situation for us,

626
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: actually no wins. You know, all right, good call, good

627
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: call it, Thanks very much for it, appreciate it. If

628
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: if Josh doesn't play this weekend and the Vice come

629
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: in here, um, they won't get any credit for beating

630
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: a Bills team without Josh Allen. True, and if they

631
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: don't beat a team with Case Keenam at quarterback that

632
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna get, they're gonna get roasted. Um, they're gonna

633
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: be labeled as frauds. And for for the Bills, it's

634
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: a little bit the same way. Um. I was just

635
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: curious to get his take being a Vikings fan. He's

636
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: got his, he's watched all of their games. They can

637
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: hit the big one right then, Jefferson, Now you got

638
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: t J. Hawkinson talks play well. They got him last week,

639
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: had nine catches and they've got theland Adam Theeland too,

640
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: So they've got some guys some weapons over there, and

641
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: Cousins can throw it and he sees it and he

642
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: makes good throws, and he you know, he reads defenses,

643
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: all of that stuff that you'll get that out of them.

644
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 1: They'll play well against the Bills, but can they play

645
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: well enough to beat the Bills? That remains to be

646
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones into Kevin and Hamburg. Kevin,

647
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: you're on one Bills live. Hey, guys, how are you doing? Banks?

648
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: For taking my calls? You're saying, what do you got

649
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: for us? I'm gonna pick the Patriots is the bottom faders,

650
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: but in the Bills is a favorite, and I'm gonna

651
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: switch to make the Chests the top Kim Pintender over

652
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I'll tell you why. You want to hear why? Yeah,

653
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: I do want to hear why. Okay two has been

654
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: under throwing a lot of passes, even in warm weather.

655
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna under threw a couple in the game. He

656
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: beat us when it was one hundred degrees. What's he

657
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna do when he comes to cold place like Buffalo

658
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: or even bots and it's like Siberia weather and he

659
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: don't have arm strength by Josh does or Patrick Mahomes does,

660
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: or even Big Ben when he played, what's he gonna do?

661
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: And Zach Wilson is just the cold weather and with

662
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 1: weather coming up, your jersey may not be as cold

663
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,479
Speaker 1: as Buffalo, but it ain't California or Miami Beach. And

664
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: that's the thing I'd be worried about by the Dolphins fan,

665
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: is what he's gonna do when he undergrows and ten

666
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:07,959
Speaker 1: degree weather? If seven that's a fair point, you're yeah,

667
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: two is gonna have cold weather. Yeah, some guys don't

668
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: play well in cold weather. It is a native Hawaiian

669
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: and I think one of the things, what was it? Um?

670
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: We heard somebody. I think it might have been Marcus

671
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: Mariota when he came. He's from Hawaiian and played at USC.

672
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: He hadn't played in like sub in a fifty degree day.

673
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: Even you know, it's one of those Oregon right, Okay,

674
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: So um, some of those things happen. It's true, bad

675
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: weather effects guys that can't throw it with high velocity.

676
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: But I would be shocked if you know by this

677
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: time eighteenth up here, come up here, it's gonna be cold.

678
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: I ain't no two ways about. It's not gonna be

679
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: like it has been this last week. No, it's not.

680
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: We'll find out on Friday. I mean that that's when

681
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: it's gonna do. That's one of the things that happened

682
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: to Buffalo last year, and they're run to it. They

683
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: would they could have been the one seat had it

684
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: not been for multiple games with really bad conditions. Yeah,

685
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: really bad conditions. Let's go to Marie and Amhurst next.

686
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: Well you got for us Maria on One Bill's Life. Hey,

687
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: good afternoon, Good afternoon. So I was thinking, what do

688
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: you both think about? I know right now Josh's up

689
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: in arms about his elbow. We don't know what's going

690
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: on yet, but him just taking like an extra day

691
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: off each week because I know they get veterans read

692
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: and just have a mental day. Though, don't come into

693
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: the facility because he was making a lot of mistakes

694
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe he's just overthinking it, and

695
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: I know he really wants it really bad. But we

696
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: can use those off days to do some other stuff

697
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: with the offense, like get the wildcat going, get some

698
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: guys back there. They're they're really good, really fast and space.

699
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: Just try some different offense out there. He needs some

700
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: extra time, he needs some rest. You think Josh needs

701
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: a break? How you look a little bit like he's

702
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: gripping too tight. We're looking like the old Josh a

703
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: little bit that the last two weeks. And I know

704
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: he's better than that. We all know, and I'm not

705
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna you know, no matter how bad the team has

706
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: certain plays that you know, we can't get down on them,

707
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: they're still the best team in football. And that's why

708
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: your question is, you know who's the favorite darkforce and

709
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: the bottom I don't. I don't know. I think we

710
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: have the best team in football and they're only getting healthier.

711
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: But the leader is Josh. And if he's not getting

712
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: that extra day arrest, you know, we could be perfecting

713
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: that wild that wildcat on his days off and getting

714
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: a running back more in a groove and involved. You know,

715
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, because we saw one year in Miami

716
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: did the Wildcat. They was tearing the league up, and

717
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: we got we got some guys that could tear it up.

718
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: So I just wonder what you think of that extra

719
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: day off. Yeah, I'm totally with you, Marie, no question.

720
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: If Josh needs a break, they need to give him

721
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: a break. It's hard too, and I will understand this

722
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: too from a coach's perspective. Starting quarterback needs to take

723
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of reps because a lot of guys depend

724
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: on how he plays, and as you've seen, he is not.

725
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: When he doesn't play well, the whole team looks bad

726
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: or worse than it does, doesn't look like itself. So

727
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: it's hard to give guys like that a day off.

728
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: But you can give them a break without giving him

729
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: a day off, meaning you can he can be standing there,

730
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: call to play and then stand there while case Keenan

731
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: runs it. That kind of thing. That's not the way

732
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: Josh operates either, to be fair, Yeah, I mean with

733
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: something doesn't go right, He's one of those redouble his

734
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: efforts kind of people. And that's you know a lot

735
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: of guys are like that. I don't Yeah, I'm with you. Though.

736
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: It's easy to look at the way he has played

737
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: and the two interceptions in the second half of the

738
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay game and the two interceptions against the Jets,

739
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: and what those ment It's easy to say, you know what,

740
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: give the guy a you know, a day off. Um, yeah,

741
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: they'll be on top of that. But but he's got

742
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: a practice and that's provided he's healthy. Um, that's the

743
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: that's you're right. It is a tough call to make

744
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: because there are some guys who need days off that

745
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: you don't really want. They can't afford to take a

746
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: day off, somebody like Mitch Morris for example. Yeah, that's

747
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 1: you know, we have to take a break though here

748
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: when we come back. More of your phone calls and

749
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: don't forget coming up second hour of the show NFL

750
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: Networks Mike Giardi, as we continue to dive headlong into

751
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: this AFC East Race. More coming up here on one

752
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Stay tuned. Oh, as the world turns. In Indianapolis,

753
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday is going to have thirty

754
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: year old pass game specialist slash assistant quarterbacks coach Parks

755
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: Frasier serve as the offensive play caller starting Sunday against

756
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Now there's a reason for this. First of all,

757
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: Marcus Brady, the offensive coordinator, was let go by Frank

758
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: Reich last week. And now Frank Reich, who was the

759
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: play caller, was obviously fired by Jim Urse yesterday, So

760
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: you're moving down the pecking order. Anyway, and so I

761
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: would estimate that Parks Frasier is the next most likely

762
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: candidate because you don't have anybody else that knows the

763
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: system and can call plays. So it looks like it's

764
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: going to be Parks Frasier calling the plays when the

765
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: Colts play the Raiders this weekend. Yippie kai yo. That

766
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: should be interesting. Let's get back to the phones, though, Steve.

767
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: We're talking AFC East race because it is a race

768
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: now with three teams of six wins, Bills are a

769
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: top it based on win percentage with only two losses.

770
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: The other two teams, the Jets in the Dolphins one

771
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: game back in the lost column. Let's go to Jay

772
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: in Buffalo next. What do you got for us? Jay?

773
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: R A one bills? Life is it? Judy? Oh? Judy? Okay?

774
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: They wrote Jay down here. I'm sorry, Judy? What do

775
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: you got for us? You know, at the beginning of

776
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: the season, I expected the Bills, I called in. I

777
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: expected the Bills to be able to score thirty to

778
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: thirty five points per game. We lost two games when

779
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: we couldn't do that. We lost by a total of

780
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: five points. Now, if Josh Allen is any way impaired.

781
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: To me, the front murder is going to become the

782
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins simply because they can put up thirty to

783
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: thirty five points even with a deficient defense. So I

784
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: think we could be in big trouble. So are you

785
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: assue are you are you taking that opinion under the

786
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 1: guise of Josh missing one game or are you thinking

787
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: multiple games? Probably? Multiple games? Okay, well, you know what, No,

788
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: we can't even afford one game. I'm sorry. We cannot

789
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: afford Miami. Our whole division is simply on the upgrade.

790
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: We cannot afford any laps in what our team can perform. Yeah.

791
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: I would tend to agree with that, only because you're

792
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: already oh and two in the division. And as you know, Judy,

793
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: you got to win your division first and then worry

794
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: about where you shake out in the conference seatings. The

795
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: irony is the Bills took care of the division without

796
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: much of a problem in the last two years, due

797
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: in part because many of the teams were in transition

798
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: and had a problem winning the conference tiebreakers over the

799
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: likes of Baltimore, Tennessee in Kansas City. Now this year,

800
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: they've taken care of those head to head matchups with Baltimore,

801
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City in Tennessee all in succession, and now the

802
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: problem it's a division. Yeah, yeah, it's Judy. You're right.

803
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: If if Josh is out, yeah, things change, things changed dramatically.

804
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: That's true of every team. If something happens to Lamar

805
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: in Baltimore or Herbert look at last year Borough, if

806
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: something happens to pat Mahomes, where do you think the

807
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna be? You know, So that's just the

808
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: way it's gonna be. Um, That's why these guys are

809
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: who they are. And now that's why they get paid

810
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: the money they get paid. Um. I don't think this

811
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: injuries that um. And you're right, the Bills are the

812
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 1: one seed now and obviously it's theirs to lose, but

813
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean that they've got to win out

814
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: the rest of their games to keep the number one seed.

815
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's along ten games to go

816
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: or nine games to go, what is it ten? These

817
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: teams are gonna kock each other off too, and in

818
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: the coming weeks also, I mean, the Bills have to

819
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: play the Patriots twice, and they got to play the

820
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Jets again three of their last four division

821
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: games will be at home, and I believe each of

822
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: those teams nobody's I don't think anybody's I'm gonna check

823
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: the standings so quick, but I know that. But what

824
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: I what I was getting at was nobody's played more

825
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: than three division games, is the thing I'm saying. The

826
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: Jets in Miami have played three division games, even they

827
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: still have three more left. So these teams are gonna

828
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: be knocking each other off in the coming weeks in

829
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: addition to whoever else they have to play. So I

830
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: think that lends itself to some flip flopping here in

831
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: the order that we might see in the coming weeks

832
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: as well. So what you see right now, Bill's Jets, Dolphins, Patriots,

833
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some churn there, just based on how

834
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:58,439
Speaker 1: the schedules laid out the rest of the way. I

835
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: still think our other caller made a good point. If

836
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: you're looking for the hierarchy, I think he's still might

837
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: Earlier I said, I put the Jets out because the

838
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: Jets look better against the Bills than the Miami Dolphins did,

839
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: or at least they look more in control than the

840
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins did. Even when they beat the Bill and

841
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: shut down with the Bills do offensively better, I think,

842
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: is what you're kind of getting now. The problem. Yeah,

843
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: what I do see and I will acknowledge is that

844
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: their quarterback toa is way ahead of Zach Wilson. That

845
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: gives them a chance at the end. And that's what's

846
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: going to be the difference for these teams. And I

847
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: think that in and of itself at this point puts

848
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: Miami ahead of the Jets. Certainly, the Jet defense gave

849
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: the Bills all they could handle on Sunday, But nevertheless,

850
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: sooner or later, Zach Wilson is going to have to

851
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: win some games, and I don't think he's up to it.

852
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: I do think Tas can do it and has done it,

853
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: and over the last month, break time for us here.

854
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 1: When we come back, this conversation will continue with NFL

855
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 1: Networks Mike Giardi. He covers the AFC East, so we'll

856
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: dive into this race a little bit deeper with him,

857
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: find out what the heck's going on up in New England,

858
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: among other places, and how he thinks this division is

859
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: going to stack up at the end. This one Bill's

860
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: Live presented by called Light to Health all right, here

861
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: we are our number two on a Tuesday, Chris Brown,

862
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: Steve tasking with you, and we're joined now by NFL

863
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: Network's Mike Giardi, who spends it AWF a lot of

864
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: time covering the AFC East. And who better to talk

865
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: to then is we officially have Mike an AFC East

866
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: Division race with three teams with six wins and the

867
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: Patriots right behind him with five. How surprised are you

868
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: that it is this tightly packed at mid season? Yeah,

869
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: a little bit surprised for sure. I thought Miami had

870
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: sort of slightly closed the gap on the Bills. And

871
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: that's not to say that the guy I still thought

872
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: the gap was pretty wide. But I think that the

873
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: fact that the Jets have maybe matured as much as

874
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: they have this season in a short time is surprising

875
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: to me. And you know, I thought the Patriots were

876
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: going to be a middling football team, and at five

877
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: and four, I think that still qualifies as a middling

878
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: football team. But when you look around the rest of

879
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: the the AFC, you say, well, maybe there's a chance

880
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: that you get three, maybe four teams in it's crazy

881
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: to think, Yeah, it is, because there is a drop

882
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: off after the five win threshold. Everybody else has only

883
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: got three or less. So those nine teams or so

884
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: that have those five wins got to feel like they're

885
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: right on the cusp of being a part of the

886
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: conversation when it's all over. How do you think this division? Now,

887
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: certainly we're sitting here and Josh Allen as a question

888
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: mark and all the YadA YadA, But if Josh Allen,

889
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: if he misses one game or if he misses no games,

890
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: let's go with that premise, how do you think this

891
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: shakes out? Because there is a real chance that four

892
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: teams in the division get in. We've never seen that before. Yeah,

893
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: I still think the Bills are the cream of the crop,

894
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: not only in the division, but I think in the AFC.

895
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: And again, as you mentioned, a lot of hinges obviously

896
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: on Josh's health, and I think we're all sort of

897
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: just waiting to hear the news on that and then

898
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: kind of figure out where you go from there. But

899
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: the roster that Brandon Being has built I think is deep.

900
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: You know, they struggle a little bit against the run

901
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: in the recent weeks, but I think that's something that

902
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: they can fix. So I still look at them as

903
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: that ahead above the rest, Miami obviously looked two is

904
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: playing well within that system. Tyree Hill has given them

905
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,959
Speaker 1: another dimension. So he and Waddle are just a difficult cover.

906
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: So I think if TWA can stay healthy, and that

907
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: again has been a big thing for him. If he

908
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: can stay healthy, I think they're you know, they're an

909
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: eleven win team probably, And then it's the Jets. You know,

910
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: can the Jets get from Zach more of what we

911
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: saw last week and completely eliminate what we saw two

912
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: weeks ago against the Patriots, where he was just an

913
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 1: absolute disaster, Thrown balls, you know, directly at defenders. It

914
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: didn't make any sense whatsoever. If he can be more

915
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: of a guy who he made a couple of throws,

916
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: made a couple of players of his legs against the Bills,

917
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: but mainly just didn't get in the way, you know,

918
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: didn't didn't cause any big problems for the Jets. If

919
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: he can be that guy, I think with their defense

920
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: and the defensive talent they have, they could be a

921
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 1: ten win team. And like I said, I think the Patriots,

922
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: if you spent any time, we're spending a lot of

923
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: time talking about the Colts nationally, because of all the

924
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: things that they're going through. They just turned in I

925
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: think it was the worst offensive performance I've ever seen

926
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: in my twenty plus years of covering the National Football League.

927
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 1: But the Patriots performance on Sunday against the Colts wasn't

928
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: much better. So they were a team that's winning games,

929
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: but not doing it at all with any kind of

930
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: explosiveness on offense, any kind of consistency. The quarterback has

931
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: definitely taken a step back. And I just I just

932
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: look at them, and I can't I can't envision a

933
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: scenario in which they get to ten wins, maybe nine

934
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: if the rest of the you know, they need some

935
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: breaks in the schedule. But I'd say those three teams

936
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: above them are more talented than them. So I kind

937
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: of look at the Patriots is fourth in the pecking

938
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: order here. Yeah, knowing that not one of these teams

939
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 1: in the division have played more than three division games,

940
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot more head to head down

941
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: the stretch here with these four teams. How much flip

942
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: flopping could you see in this current alignment of the division?

943
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are gonna be presumably knocking each

944
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: other off over the next two months. Yeah, I mean

945
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: I look at the bottom three that I mentioned in Miami,

946
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: New York, and New England. Like, if you want to

947
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 1: you're in New York and New England and you want

948
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: to climb the ladder and want to give yourself in

949
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: position to be in the playoffs, get into the playoffs,

950
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to knock off some of these division opponents.

951
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: And like Miami's had a good run of success recently

952
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and now that's translated into two different

953
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: regimes with the Floors regime and now Mike McDaniel, they

954
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,919
Speaker 1: win that opener, they come here late in the year,

955
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 1: which normally hasn't been a good recipe for them. But

956
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: again they're just I think they have more talent than

957
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots. So if they don't get a minus ten

958
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 1: degree day and the wind blowing sideways, I think Miami

959
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: is the more talented team. Can New York steal one

960
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: from one of these opponents that you know, I think

961
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: we can say they probably feel good about stealing one

962
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: from the Bills this past weekend. So that to me

963
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: is where I think that things are all going to

964
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,919
Speaker 1: shake out again. If Josh stays healthy, I think they're

965
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: a twelve thirteen yeah, twelve thirteen win team is. And

966
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: you look at the division as well from another angle,

967
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 1: and that's strictly who the lens of the quarterback. Josh

968
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 1: Allen has got to be at the top of it.

969
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: Then you've got the two mac Jones Zach Wilson. How

970
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: I guess two of would be the next one more

971
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: established obviously, more and playing better than most of those

972
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: guys week to week basis, but Zach Wilson and mac Jones.

973
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson probably got a better arm, more athletic, no

974
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: question he can. He put together mistake free football enough

975
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: to match a mac Jones even. I think they did

976
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: a great job with him last week. Stephen, you guys

977
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: watched the game obviously closely, and I went back because

978
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: I was doing Patriots colds. I went back and watched

979
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday night and watched more kind of

980
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: went back and watched it again on Monday, just to

981
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: get a good handle on what happened. I just thought

982
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: that got him confidence early, which is I think really

983
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: key for any young quarterback, but especially when coming off

984
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: as bad a performance as you could have the week

985
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,479
Speaker 1: before against the Patriots, which honestly, I was at that game.

986
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: The Jets should have won by ten points. If Zach

987
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,879
Speaker 1: plays competent football in that game, it's a ten point game.

988
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: It's not close. Like I think they were comfortable, and

989
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: they would have been comfortable the entire game. Instead, he's

990
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: just turning them all over repeatedly and making bad decisions.

991
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: And you know, they went away from the run game,

992
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 1: and I think they went back to the drawing board.

993
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: It's like, we're gonna run the ball with Michael Carter

994
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: and James Robinson. I know, Bruce holl isn't here. We've

995
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: had a week to sort of get ourselves around that

996
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: and Elijah Vara Tucker absence, and we're gonna run the

997
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: ball with these two guys and we're gonna stick with it.

998
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: But I think they did a nice job of sort

999
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: of rebuilding Zack's confidence, and again, I think just hammering

1000
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: the points home. Dude, take the easy throw. Don't try

1001
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: to be special back there. You don't have to be superman.

1002
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: Just be smart. And if you're smart, with the defense

1003
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: that we have and with the running game we feel

1004
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: like we have, we're gonna be in a lot of

1005
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: football games and we're gonna win a lot of football games.

1006
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: And if he can play that way, I think, like

1007
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: I said, they're a dangerous team for the Patriots. Guys

1008
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: like I can't stress enough how much they've regressed offensively,

1009
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: and you know, locally, it's is that the coordinators is

1010
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: that strictly on the quarterback. To me, there's so many

1011
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: different factors to this. The scheme change was understandable to

1012
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: a certain degree because it was a Tom Brady Josh

1013
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: McDaniel's offense. The verbiage was really lengthy. They kept adding

1014
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: stuff to it, and it was guys were coming in

1015
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: and they just couldn't play fast. The receivers couldn't play fast.

1016
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: So they wanted to strip that down some give them

1017
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: a few less options, and that made sense. But the

1018
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: quarterback was good in that system, including this quarterback, Mac Jones.

1019
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:27,919
Speaker 1: He was good in that system last year. And now

1020
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,959
Speaker 1: I think they've taken the two things that he does well,

1021
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: which are his intelligence, his ability to process, and his accuracy.

1022
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: And I think they took the first part, the intelligence part,

1023
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: and I kind of they lopped his head off a

1024
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: little bit here. It's almost like we're just gonna do

1025
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: this and it's not very complex. And I think I

1026
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: talked to guys in the league, and I've talked at

1027
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: people quarterbacks outside the league, guys that played in the

1028
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: league and no longer playing the league, and they're like,

1029
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: we're the easy buttons, and it's boring and it's simple,

1030
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: and it's just you know, I just tweeted Bill Belichick

1031
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: who just told us they thought that maybe the Colts

1032
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: and Jets kind of knew what was coming the last

1033
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: few weeks and we're calling out plays. Well, I would say,

1034
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: when you have a limited playbook now and you're not

1035
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: doing very many of these things, well, they're looking for

1036
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: the things that you did well, and I think they're

1037
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: able to identify based on how you're running it and saying,

1038
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: hey they're gonna do this, Bam they make a play.

1039
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: So it's pretty shocking. I think how far they've fallen

1040
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: here in the last nine weeks. And you know, there's

1041
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: a lot of conversation now like, well as Mac the

1042
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: quarterback next year, well, well, I guess there's a big

1043
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: audition here in the next eight nine weeks for him

1044
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: to figure this out with the group of coaches that

1045
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: he has around him. Mike Another interesting development is concerning

1046
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: Miami's defense. I mean, all the publicity is going to

1047
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: their offense, which obviously has been lightening up the scoreboard,

1048
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: but they've had to light up the scoreboard just to

1049
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: win a game. Suddenly their defense is the major question mark,

1050
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: which I doesn't I don't think was the case going

1051
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: in at all. Everybody said, oh, same defensive coordinator. Defense

1052
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: is going to be locked and barrel. It's the offense

1053
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: that really has to make a change for the better,

1054
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: and they have. But they've given up twenty four points

1055
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,959
Speaker 1: or more in three of their last four games. And

1056
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean two of those teams are the Lions and

1057
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: the Bears. Nothing against them, but they're not historically known

1058
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: for running it up on the scoreboard. What's going on there? No, yeah, no,

1059
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right. It's been a surprise. I

1060
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: think it's clear that they're struggling to get pressure when

1061
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: they don't blitz. And look, they've been a heavy blitz

1062
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: team the last few years. So Josh Boyer is partly

1063
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: responsible with that. It's Brian Flores's philosophy going in. But

1064
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: they had success, but I think they also had success

1065
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: when they could get you with four. You know, Ogbon

1066
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: one side Wilkins coming up the gun. They had some

1067
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: people to do that, and it just they haven't generated

1068
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: any real pressure with the four man front and it

1069
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: had to rely so heavily on the blitz that they've

1070
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: been caught far too many times. You know, they go

1071
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: make the big trade for Bradley Chubb, and look, Chubb's

1072
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: a good player. He has had problems with his health.

1073
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: He's also not the most Blosi's athlete. Like it's I

1074
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: thought it was an interesting move, Like I understand why

1075
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: they did it, because they're clearly putting all their chips

1076
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: in because they think there's an opportunity here and maybe

1077
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: next year as well to be in the mix. But

1078
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's a game changer. And you know,

1079
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: look it was the first week, so kind of hard

1080
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: to get a good grasp on it. But he had

1081
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: a half a tackle, I think, yeah, but he played

1082
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: a fair number of snaps. But then they turned right

1083
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: around and signed him to an extension, like he hadn't

1084
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: even played it down for them yet and he already win.

1085
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand why they gave up a one

1086
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: if you just have him as a rental and you

1087
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: gave up a one, you look like an idiot. But

1088
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, man, like, here's one hundred and twenty million,

1089
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: like what or one hundred and ten? Yeah, yeah, he's

1090
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: not Like, look he's not Miles Garrett. That's like, that's

1091
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,439
Speaker 1: why I look at him and I say, I get

1092
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: why they did it, but I don't know that he's

1093
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: this elite pass rusher. I think there are a lot

1094
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: of things to have that go along with him for

1095
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: him to be a double digit sack guy. So you know,

1096
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: he got to play somewhat with von Miller before they

1097
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: traded on Miller a couple of years ago. Like, I

1098
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: think he's someone that can be blocked, and I don't

1099
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: know that I would have given up that sort of

1100
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: draft capital go get him and then certainly the dollars

1101
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: and cents and to your point, like, yeah, maybe you're

1102
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: crazy to give up a one and then not have

1103
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: the contract ready to go, But why are you gonna

1104
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: look worse if you give him one hundred and ten

1105
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: million dollars? And he's just a guy, right, He's just

1106
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: a he's an above average edge guy. Well, those aren't

1107
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: the guys that you pay one hundred and ten million

1108
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,479
Speaker 1: dollars to give us an idea of the schedule coming

1109
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I mean, we've got, you know, the

1110
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: Bills are sitting there at six and three. They just

1111
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: got you know, took their lumps to the Jets, but

1112
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: they've got the seven and one Vikings this week. But

1113
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: then they go Cleveland, Detroit, New England, the Jets, the Dolphins,

1114
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: the Bears, and then they end up with the Bengals

1115
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots at the end. This is the this

1116
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: is stretch where before the season began, when you're gonna

1117
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: start plowing through the NFC North teams Minnesota, the Lions,

1118
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: and the Bears, and then the Browns with Jacobe Brissette

1119
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: or Jacobe Brissette with yes, that's right. Yeah. And so

1120
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: it looked like the first six or seven eight games

1121
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: of the season we're going to be the games that

1122
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,479
Speaker 1: the Bills had to make Hay or we're gonna really

1123
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: struggle to make Hay in and then they were going

1124
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: to run the table at the end. I don't know,

1125
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: the division has really changed all of that, And I

1126
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: don't know, how do you see this this schedule working

1127
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: out it'sself out here in the big picture for the Bills.

1128
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: So if I put the astick up and say, assuming

1129
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: Josh's health right, right, I don't. I know Minnesota has

1130
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: a good record and there there is talent there for

1131
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: without question, I think the Bills are a better team,

1132
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: and if they're healthy, I think it's a kind of

1133
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: a I think Sean and Leslie and Ken, I think

1134
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: they got their attention now, like it was so easy early,

1135
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, first six seven weeks and then the second

1136
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: half of that Packers game, and then this past week

1137
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: they got sloppy, and I think it's a good week

1138
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: to get their attention like, Okay, guys, we're good, but

1139
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: if you don't prepare and play at a high level,

1140
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: this is what can happen to us. So take care

1141
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: of the ball and kind of get tightened up the

1142
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: things that you've gotten loose on here. So I think

1143
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: it's a good chance for them to sort of announce

1144
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: their presence with authority again, right and say like, Okay,

1145
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota's coming in here feeling good, but we're better and

1146
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna show you were better then. I think those

1147
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: next three games that you showed there on the screen

1148
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: and it's what three games in twelve days, I think

1149
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: I think if the Bills are playing like the Bills,

1150
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: those are three ws and now look now you're you know,

1151
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: you're rolling again and you're feeling good and then you

1152
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: got you know, some tougher division games. But to me,

1153
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: that's where I think this four week stretch year is

1154
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: where they can sort of build back a little bit

1155
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: of a cushion in the division before they get into

1156
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: a couple more tight division games. You already addressed the

1157
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: Chub acquisition by the Dolphins at the deadline. What were

1158
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: your initial impressions of the Niheim Heinz acquisition by Buffalo

1159
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: and where it could go? Yeah, I mean, to me,

1160
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: it was again it's been sort of a rich get

1161
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: richer thing with the offense, with the way they treated

1162
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: the draft, you know, drafting Cook who by the way

1163
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: he's coming on. I thought he had some really nice plays,

1164
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: again limited touches, but running hard, making the plays out

1165
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: of the backfield with his hands like that guy's on

1166
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: the comb and that he's an explosive player. That makes

1167
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: you more versatile. And I think Hines obviously, I mean

1168
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: you've seen the body of work someone that Frank Reich.

1169
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: They targeted a bunch when he was out there, and

1170
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 1: you know, he was sort of complaining about the number

1171
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: of touches he got this year. But I just think

1172
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: that whole thing in Indianapolis, as we're seeing, was a

1173
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: complete mess. Coming here now, being with this group of playmakers,

1174
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: it gives them so many options, and you know, I

1175
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: guess I don't know how you guys feel about I've

1176
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: been a little bit surprised. I kind of felt like

1177
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: the Isaiah Mackenzie thing was coming. You know that he

1178
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: was going to be a big part of the offense.

1179
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: And there's been moments obviously, but I haven't seen that consistency.

1180
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if Hines, because of his ability to

1181
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,919
Speaker 1: run routes, can also slide into that slot roll at

1182
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: times to give them another option there, because it does

1183
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: feel like, at least in the last couple of weeks

1184
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: that they've become way too reliant on Stefan and so

1185
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: it's Josh and Stefan and like where's Gabe and this,

1186
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: where's Isaiah and this? They need some more playmakers. I mean,

1187
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:19,919
Speaker 1: they have them on the roster, they need to find

1188
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: ways to get those guys more involved. And Nahaim gives

1189
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: them another opportunity. I mean, think of the idea of

1190
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: like Cook and Naheim in the backfield. Both guys are burners,

1191
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: both guys got great wiggle like they can do some

1192
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: things here, scheme some things up that will really make

1193
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: it challenging for defenses beyond just the normal stuff they

1194
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 1: have to do with. Yeah, we were talking just yesterday

1195
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: about how no one has really filled either singularly or

1196
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: with a group of guys that Beasley safety valve receiver options.

1197
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're waiting to see how that shakes out too. Yeah,

1198
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: and that's what we're gonna ask next. I was gonna

1199
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: ask next what characteristic had the Bills had in the

1200
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: last couple of years that you've noticed that got them

1201
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: on the level with the Chiefs, that got them to

1202
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: the ABC Championship game. In the division around, they're winning

1203
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: playoff games. What do you not see this year from

1204
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: a Bill's offense that you know, maybe you're looking for.

1205
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,959
Speaker 1: Maybe we just answered that question. Yeah, I would also

1206
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: say too, just I think and look, they went through

1207
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: a little last year, right and there was sort of

1208
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: a little push and pull between McDermott and Dable about

1209
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: let's be more physical, let's run the ball a little

1210
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: bit more. Maybe they're starting to get to that point

1211
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: again where you start to look at it and say,

1212
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: let's try to get motor and some of these other

1213
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: guys cook. Let's get them some touches in the run

1214
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: game and see if you can be a little bit

1215
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: more physical that way. But I think, to me, when

1216
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: I look just at recent weeks, I don't think the

1217
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: pass blocking has been great, and I think I think

1218
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: they have the personnel there to be good at it.

1219
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I think they've been good at it during the course

1220
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: of the season, but it just feels like they've hit

1221
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: one of those lulls. And because there's one game a week,

1222
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: we obviously you're hyper focused on it, especially coming off

1223
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: a loss. So to me, sort of just cleaning some

1224
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: of those little things up and yeah, find that find

1225
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: that safety val, find that guy that can get you

1226
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: five six, seven yards underneath consistently that you know where

1227
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna be. Because I think, go back to the summer,

1228
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: we didn't even talk about Cole right. It was like, oh, no,

1229
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Isaiah has come along and she cursed the nice little player,

1230
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: and you had Jamison Crowder in the mixture. Like you

1231
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: hear me fine. I didn't hear anyone talking about him

1232
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: at least you guys are no better. But I didn't

1233
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,680
Speaker 1: hear anybody come across that stand like, oh, we're really

1234
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: gonna miss Cole. But yeah, there have been some points

1235
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: now where you're like, you're nice to have that guy, right.

1236
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: So I think there's a little bit of internal competition there,

1237
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: and I think this is just again, I think sort

1238
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: of back to the drawing board a little bit and

1239
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 1: figuring out ways. And Ken talked about it yesterday, just

1240
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: about like trust your reads. Let's go through the process

1241
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: here and don't just naturally go well, I'm in trouble,

1242
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: I go to Diggs. Just go through the process, and

1243
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: if your eyes take you to that place, go to

1244
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: that place. Yeah, Mike, thanks very much for the time.

1245
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 1: We appreciate the insight. We'll catch up with you down

1246
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: the line. Thanks Mike, thanks a lot. Guys. All right,

1247
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: that's Mike Giardi. NFL Network covers the AFC East in

1248
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: large part, and uh man doesn't sound good up in

1249
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: New England. Jeez, it's I didn't realize that the offensive

1250
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: system had changed that greatly. I knew you had a

1251
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: new coordinator in there, but man like to. I understand

1252
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 1: you want to strip it down a little bit for

1253
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 1: the receivers, but at the expense of your quarterback play

1254
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 1: that seems counterintuitive. Yeah, I mean maybe they didn't anticipate that, right,

1255
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: That's probably wasn't the plan. It just ended up and

1256
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: it may be too. We've said this a ton on

1257
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: this show. When you become predictable, you become vulnerable. And

1258
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: you know, obviously if you've got Jet defenders hollering out

1259
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 1: plays and where they were expecting, and it's not good

1260
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: at all. And it's also it's not just bad tactically.

1261
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: It breaks your heart as a player to know that

1262
01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: other team knows exactly what we're doing, certainly defend its Yeah,

1263
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: crushes your morale, crushes your confidence in your coaching staff, Yeah,

1264
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: in your system, in your plan. And let's face it,

1265
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots have always been throughout the Belichick airs. It

1266
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:19,680
Speaker 1: was so maddening for Bills fans. Patriots always seemed to

1267
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 1: step ahead, right, and this kind of scenario, it looks

1268
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: like they're a step behind, and that means that's unusual.

1269
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: Did you hear his characterization of the game last week?

1270
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he was he was there for Colts Patriots,

1271
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: and he said the Colts were an absolute abomination of offense,

1272
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:41,440
Speaker 1: and then followed and said the Patriots were barely better. Yeah,

1273
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, whether it was the score, they won't

1274
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: like handily. It was like twenty something to three, or

1275
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: the score of the game Patriots Colts was twenty three

1276
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: to six to twenty three for the Colts, twenty six

1277
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 1: for the Past like shut out. It was bad. But

1278
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: he said the page weren't good either. Yeah. Well, Ellinger

1279
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 1: obviously didn't play very well. Yeah. How happy is nihiim

1280
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 1: hinz right now that he's not in Indianapolis? Yeah, I

1281
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: get it. One of the problems with Yeah, he's happy

1282
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 1: where he's had. I'm sure he's gonna make the most

1283
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: of this. But you know, he's probably got a lot

1284
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: of really close friends on that could team. He feels

1285
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,839
Speaker 1: for them that they're just you know, can't get it together.

1286
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: You know, that's a rough day. And that's and that

1287
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,880
Speaker 1: right there is the last time Frank Reich shook hands

1288
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: with the Another head coach is head coach of the Colts. YEA,

1289
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: who's let go m Yeah, it's an amazing it's amazing league.

1290
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: It's the second, it's the second firing mid season. Yeah,

1291
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: I know, Matt Rules already out. And here's the thing.

1292
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 1: Matt Rule got fired like a month ago. He's like

1293
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,759
Speaker 1: one of the major candidates for some top college jobs already.

1294
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: Guy might have two different coaching jobs in the same

1295
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: the same season, one of the frozen one in college. Sure,

1296
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: he'll be pulling down some big money. He'll be in

1297
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: demand at the level he will. He's a really good leader,

1298
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: no question about it. But I've said this not lately,

1299
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 1: but it's true. And coaching at the college level and

1300
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: guys who've had much great success there, Um, sometimes it's

1301
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: difficult to come. It doesn't translate. It doesn't translate. Look

1302
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: at Nick saban Um, look at Pete Carroll did it? Uh?

1303
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 1: But there are others who haven't, you know so well,

1304
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: don't forget Pete Carroll was in the NFL first, it

1305
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: didn't work too well. Then he went to college, had wild,

1306
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: just came back to the NFL again, was good. Yeah,

1307
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the guy from from Oregon who's

1308
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: now at UCLA, Chip chip Kelly. Chip Kelly couldn't make

1309
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 1: it work in the NFL. Uh. The old ball coach

1310
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier from college to the Washington Redskins and then

1311
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: back and now and commanders didn't work for him. The

1312
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: one reason it doesn't work well for a lot of

1313
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: college coaches is because of the vast differences in the

1314
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: job that there are. It is not college head coaching

1315
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 1: sometimes is not about football. It's about recruiting and personnel acquisition. Yeah,

1316
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 1: and once you do that, then you've got football guys

1317
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 1: to take care of the exes and ohs, and you

1318
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: take care of timeouts. You kind of thing. At that level,

1319
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: you turn your turn. Your superior athletes loose on another team.

1320
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: Most other teams, Yeah, because the talent is spread over far.

1321
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's over three hundred Division one college football programs.

1322
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: The talent, even if you are a pretty good recruiter,

1323
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: you gets spread thinly. Where in the NFL it's thirty

1324
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: go to teams and it's the best of the best.

1325
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: You go to teams like Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame. Go

1326
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: down the list, Ohio State, go down the list of Georgia, Georgia, Tennessee.

1327
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: This year, you'll go down there and they'll have ninety

1328
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:00,600
Speaker 1: guys or you have sixty seven guys. On scholarship or

1329
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is. They'll have twenty guys are thirty twenty

1330
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: guys that are on scholarship and thirty plus that are

1331
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: not on scholarship. None of them can play. None of

1332
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: them can play. And that's just the way it is.

1333
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: That's the industry. So at the NFL level, it's it's

1334
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: completely different, completely different. It is focused on the xs

1335
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: and os and your talent level. You have to win

1336
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: with whatever it is you have, and sometimes you've You've

1337
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: got everybody's got good players, including you, including the bad

1338
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: football teams. You're The thing is can you mold them?

1339
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: So you get a guy like you know, Matt Rule,

1340
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: great leader. But once you get those people, what are

1341
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: you gonna You gotta do something with them xs and

1342
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 1: os and And it's on the fly. I mean, it's

1343
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: it's constant adjustment. It's in game adjustment, having them ready

1344
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 1: to take those adjustments and put those adjustments into into

1345
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 1: action on the field in the next series. Adjusting a

1346
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: game plan that you've only for six days and being

1347
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 1: able to nuance it on the fly. Yeah, it's it's

1348
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: a lot of mental gymnastics. And that's why you know,

1349
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: most of these guys that play for a long time

1350
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: are really sharp guys. They can assimilate that information and

1351
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: put it to work. It's not easy, and it's a

1352
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 1: it's a completely different job than it is in college.

1353
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: And that's why you know, you get these guys in

1354
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 1: New England, like Mike Jordi said, if you get predictable, yeah,

1355
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get your head caved in. As we mentioned,

1356
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: So the Patriots won that game twenty six to three.

1357
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 1: They had a block punt for a touchdown and they

1358
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: had to pick six for a touchdown. So fourteen to

1359
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: their twenty six points came from special teams. In defense

1360
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: said twelve points on our offense. On offense, So there

1361
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 1: you go. We have to take a break here. When

1362
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: we come back, I think we're gonna fire up the

1363
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 1: NFL true false cannon and fire some things off at

1364
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: Steve and myself coming up next here on One Bills

1365
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 1: Live presented by Collid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1366
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: All right, here we are one Bills Live and just

1367
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: an update for you on NFL Network. Mike Aarafolo, one

1368
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 1: of their NFL insiders, did say, and this is a

1369
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: direct quote, there's Hope and Buffalo Josh Allen will be

1370
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: able to practice and play his way through this injury.

1371
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 1: But then he withheld, making that a firm statement, saying,

1372
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: we'll have to see what the doctors say. But that's

1373
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 1: what he is obviously being told by someone somewhere, so

1374
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what comes of it. But just thought we'd

1375
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: pass that along to you. Wanted to get to some

1376
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: NFL true false, which is brought to you by Patrone Tequila,

1377
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:53,720
Speaker 1: the official tequila of the Buffalo Bills, and Steve. We

1378
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: begin with a little bit of an AFC East feel

1379
01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,719
Speaker 1: talking about the AFC East Division race, which is firmly

1380
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: a race now, and we begin NFL true false with

1381
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins True or false, Steve, the Dolphins winning shootouts

1382
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 1: with Tua and Tyreek is not sustainable. Well, if it's

1383
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Tua and Tyreek, it's not. But if it's Ta, Tyreek

1384
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: and Waddle and Gisecki and the rest of them, I mean,

1385
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: that's how things are getting done. And the we had

1386
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: this conversation earlier in the show. Teams are building it

1387
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: offensively to hang in there with Buffalo and hang in

1388
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: there with Kansas City, and those teams score points. You

1389
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: gotta have You got to have an answer for that,

1390
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: and so I think at the current state, yeah, I

1391
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: think it is sustainable. They got Tyreek's not going anywhere,

1392
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: Waddle's a really good player, Gisecki catches the ball really well.

1393
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: Tua is ingrained now and they've got to you know,

1394
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: they've got this philosophy that's starting to build around him.

1395
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would say probably that's the way it's

1396
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo is doing it, That's the way Kansas City's

1397
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: doing it. So I'd say, yeah, I am kind of

1398
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: on the fence with this one only because you know,

1399
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:15,679
Speaker 1: you're giving up twenty seven thirty points to the Lions

1400
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: and the Bears. And I know the Bears have kind

1401
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 1: of turned things around there with offensive coordinator Bill Laser

1402
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields with some design runs for him. You know,

1403
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: they're they're making him threaten a defense in different ways

1404
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 1: instead of trying to just make him a strict pocket quarterback.

1405
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy ran for one hundred and seventy

1406
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: eight yards one hundred and seventy eight yards. What's going

1407
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: on with the Dolphins defense. I think that's gonna bite

1408
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: them a few times down the stretch unless they get it.

1409
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, a lot of defenses in this day

1410
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: and age, a lot of defenses are struggling with quarterbacks

1411
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,560
Speaker 1: who can really run like Josh, like Pat Mahomes, like Fields,

1412
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: like Lamar, like Kyler Murray. All these quarterbacks who can

1413
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 1: really get out and move are really given defense as problems.

1414
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: And the Dolphins are notorious for that. Josh owns those

1415
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: jokers and they struggle with that. So they're gonna struggle

1416
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: with a guy like Justin Fields, who is exactly like

1417
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 1: Josh was young in his career. So that to me,

1418
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: if you can say, yeah, Justin Fields or Josh Allen

1419
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: or Pat Mahomes or Kyler Murray or one of those

1420
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: guys is gonna be playing the Dolphins every week. Yeah,

1421
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna get there. They're gonna take their lumps because

1422
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: they struggle with that. But not everybody's got those guys.

1423
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: Certainly the Patriots don't. The Jets guy you can make

1424
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: say what you want, but Zach Wilson isn't quite there yet.

1425
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 1: He runs well, but he doesn't make those kind of decisions.

1426
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:41,799
Speaker 1: So I think, while well, yeah, I mean their defense

1427
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 1: has stung a little bit, there's it's still the same

1428
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: thing that gets them, and not everybody can do that

1429
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: enough teams cannot run their quarterback the way Buffalo can.

1430
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: In Kansas City and Chicago and Lamar and Baltimore, not

1431
01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: as many teams can do that to the to the

1432
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins because it's what they struggle with. But not too

1433
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: many teams can do it. So I think they're gonna

1434
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: be all right. I think the Dolphins can kind of

1435
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,599
Speaker 1: ride with this philosophy, particularly the rest of this year.

1436
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna, you know, win the division.

1437
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: They ain't gonna beat us, they're gonna beat the Buffalo

1438
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 1: Bills or you know, but they can get in the

1439
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: playoffs and make some waves. I think, Yeah, I'm trying

1440
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: to look to see if they have any running quarterbacks

1441
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:26,560
Speaker 1: coming up on the list, and really, Jacoby Brisset not

1442
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: a runner. Davis Mills, no, Garoppolo, no, Justin Herbert can run,

1443
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: but he doesn't make it a habit, you know. Then

1444
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 1: it's Josh and then it's Rogers who can move around,

1445
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: but he's not a runner per se. And then Mac

1446
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 1: Jones no, and Zach Wilson can run around, but he

1447
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: doesn't make it a habit. Eat right, he doesn't make

1448
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: it habit. He doesn't make really good plays out of

1449
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 1: it either. So yeah, so you go down there, say,

1450
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: you know, if you do that strictly by that, it's

1451
01:20:55,200 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: when when when when all Chargers? Yeah, you think they

1452
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: win that too, they can win that. Even so, they

1453
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 1: win there with three game winning streak, that makes it

1454
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: that give them six in a row. So maybe they're due.

1455
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 1: Maybe they lose to the Chargers or the Bills, or

1456
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: maybe both of them, but either even so, they're sitting

1457
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,759
Speaker 1: there now at a nine with nine wins with the Packers,

1458
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 1: New England and the Jets at the end of the season, right,

1459
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: you know, depending on what they do with the Chargers

1460
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 1: and Bills. So going nine wins with six games to

1461
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: play or five games to play, Yeah, five games to play,

1462
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty good spot to be in. Yeah.

1463
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: Uh is it sustainable though? I don't think it's a

1464
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: winning shootouts, Like, at some point in time your offense

1465
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: is not gonna be able to come through for you.

1466
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose a game. So I'm want to say false.

1467
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 1: Even so, there's they they're they're six wins up now,

1468
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 1: so they're you know, they're halfway to you know, division

1469
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:55,680
Speaker 1: titles if you go twelve wins. Yeah, I understand what

1470
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: you're saying, So I yeah, I think it's sustainable, and

1471
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: I think it gives them a chance and they play

1472
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 1: able to stop people in the playoffs. Though, I mean, yeah,

1473
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: but let's face it. Though we've heard it, and Eric

1474
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Wood told us this on Monday yesterday, it's the same

1475
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 1: thing on offense. Everybody's got to be hitting that same page.

1476
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: You gotta be working together. It's a team effort. It's

1477
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:20,519
Speaker 1: like choreography. Everything's mapped out. Every guy's footsteps and hand

1478
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: placement and ball placement, snap count motion, it's all choreographed.

1479
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 1: On defense, you got one guy to make a play,

1480
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: one to just show up, see what's going on, and

1481
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 1: get there. That can happen a lot easier than than

1482
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: the offensive choreography that has to take place. NFL true

1483
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 1: false Number two. Justin Fields and the Bears hibernation is over.

1484
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: What do we say about that? Are they still called

1485
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears? They are? It's not over, Steve, you

1486
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 1: really have a problem with these guys. Yeah, I mean yeah,

1487
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna, They're gonna. Justin Fields is a really quality player.

1488
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: I like where he's at, and I think a lot

1489
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 1: of people should. You would if you're a Chicago fan.

1490
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:08,720
Speaker 1: He gives you hope. It's a dangerous thing, but for

1491
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: a football team, you know, but they are what they

1492
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: are right now. The Bears, well, I mean there were

1493
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 1: three and sixteen. They're not going anywhere this year, that's right.

1494
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: But they have two winnable games coming up, Detroit and Atlanta.

1495
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Then they have the Jets on the road, and you know,

1496
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: then it's the Packers. That's I mean, three in their

1497
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: next four games are winnable games. I never thought I

1498
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: would say that, but it's true. And I don't think

1499
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: the goal here is trying to climb into contention in

1500
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: the NFC this year. I think the goal here is

1501
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: to know exactly what you have in justin fields, and

1502
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 1: I think they're starting to find that out, and to me,

1503
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: that's a victory for them going forward. So if we're

1504
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: talking about is the hibernation over. It may not be

1505
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: over this year, but going into next year, if new

1506
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 1: gm Ian Poles can make some good moves with the

1507
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,759
Speaker 1: extra draft capital he has now after shipping out Roquan

1508
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: Smith and Quinn Robert Quinn the hibernation might be over

1509
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 1: next year. It's not over yet, so I will say

1510
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: false for now because we're talking about this year. But

1511
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: next year it could be. Things could be looking up

1512
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: for the Bears. Who knows what we're talking about? How

1513
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: great it is for the Bears. They're in a two

1514
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: game winning streak, they've lost five out of their last six,

1515
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: and we're talking about how rosy things are in Chicago.

1516
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 1: That right there is a synopsis of where they are

1517
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,640
Speaker 1: and I've always been as a franchise. How great is

1518
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: it that this guy almost beat a Miami team with

1519
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 1: all those that's awesome. They've lost five out of their

1520
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: last six. So that's where the Bears are. Okay, fair enough?

1521
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: NFL true false Numero trace. The Colts will win one

1522
01:24:56,360 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 1: game or less under interim head coach jeffs Saturday. Let's

1523
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 1: just go and take a quick look at the Colts.

1524
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: The rest of the Colts. Their schedule, yes, exactly, their schedule,

1525
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: and it starts on the road. It starts at the Raiders.

1526
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: The Raiders, Okay, goes Raiders, Eagles, Steelers, Cowboys. Okay, so

1527
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: the two winnable games there, the Raiders stink and the

1528
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: Steelers stink. The Raiders have blown seventeen point leads on

1529
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:32,799
Speaker 1: multiple occasions this year. There are times when the Raiders

1530
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: play really good, the Colts will not, and they will

1531
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 1: not be able to get back into us. They won't.

1532
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 1: They won't overtake any seventeen point lead no matter how

1533
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: bad the Raiders start to play. So the Raiders are

1534
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: gonna win that game because they're good enough to get

1535
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: up on a lot of these teams that they've been

1536
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: losing to the Eagles. The Colts aren't beating the Eagles,

1537
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, they're not beating the Cowboys, but they play

1538
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers sandwich between the Eagles and the Cowboys. The

1539
01:25:56,439 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: Steelers interesting at the Texans at the end too. One

1540
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 1: or less, I still don't think so. I still don't

1541
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: think that. I think they're gonna get I think they're

1542
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna get wiped. Oh so you're gonna say true, one

1543
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 1: game or less, I don't think they'll win a game.

1544
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 1: I am going to say stamping in ink as well,

1545
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 1: I'll say true, that's the plan, that's what they're doing. Yeah,

1546
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 1: they're they're tanking. Yeah, they hired a good quarterback draft. Yeah, Actually,

1547
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 1: it's interesting Steve. They say this year and next year,

1548
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty four is shaping out to be

1549
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: good quarterback draft classes. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to

1550
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 1: see how some of these teams position themselves. As we

1551
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 1: already have sniffed out the Colts intentions here well with

1552
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:51,799
Speaker 1: the Jeff Saturday point, that's like sniffing out a skunk

1553
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 1: on your front porch. Yeah, I've done that. He's there

1554
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 1: all right. That is NFL True False presented by I

1575
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:18,640
Speaker 1: releasing former first round pick safety Jonathan Abram No One

1576
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: as a physical, hard hitting safety. They did shop him

1577
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,680
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline, didn't have any takers. Do you

1578
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: think there might be somebody that scoops him up now

1579
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen draft, twenty six years old. It will probably

1580
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:34,880
Speaker 1: think about what you thought about him as a draft

1581
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 1: pick and what you know about him as a pro.

1582
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 1: All you know about him as a pro really is

1583
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: what you see on film. As a draft prospect. You

1584
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: could have interviewed him and gotten to know him a

1585
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 1: little bit. Obviously, he's as you mentioned, Mike Mayock pick.

1586
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: So Josh McDaniels has no ties to him, but if

1587
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:54,680
Speaker 1: he's a first round pick, certainly he's got measurables in

1588
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 1: the bills or safety light light, I mean thin because

1589
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 1: of you're in hide pour years injuries, mica hide being out, Um,

1590
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. You certainly kick the tires to find

1591
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: out what he's looking at and what he's doing the

1592
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 1: safety to help you in the run front. That kid

1593
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: will do it. That kid he brings the wood. He's

1594
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: a banger. Yeah, he brings the wood up sometimes to

1595
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: his own detriment healthwise. All right, that'll do it for
