1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields,

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: of pleader for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: in the strated fere of normalcy here, all right? There

5
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: we go on a Thursday, Chris Brown with the Hall

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: of Famer Thurman Thomas joining me on the show. Thur,

7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: I'm still laughing at my comment. But do you know

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: where that comes from? Do you know what that whole

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: conversation was about? A blimp? No? So, the College Football

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame was inducting a class. I'm not going

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: to remember the year. I want to say it was

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen class. And in the induction class with

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: players like rocket Ismael and people like that, the Goodyear blimp. Yes,

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life.

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: I was like, how much money did Good Year give

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: the College Football Hall of Fame to get like not

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: an honorary remember remember actual inductee. I was like, get

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: a go away with it. I'm glad I wasn't watching

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: the show at that time because I would have remembered

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: because I went in a college Football Hall of Fame

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, and so you get all

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: the nominees that come in. I remember opening the package

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: and seeing the blip, like, are they kidding me? Yeah?

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if you went in, if you're if

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: part of your induction class was the good year when

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: you have been insulted, It's like, yeah, I probably wouldn't

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,279
Speaker 1: showed though, yea, what are we doing back? Duck's probably

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: going in next. Yeah, I mean I thought it was

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: bad when you know, ESPN was doing Sports Century and

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: they were putting in horses with people, right, you know,

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: like nothing, I got nothing against Secretariat. Hell of a

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: race horse. Yeah, but I think we're talking about human athletes.

33
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: Yere right, Like I thought that was bad, and then

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: the College Football Hall of Fame completely jumped the shark

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: and went okay, moving up. Thanks thanks for being here.

65
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: he's been kind of crazy, you know, because we got

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: the dogs and animals and they're sniffing around like what

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,079

00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: and one dog, one dog has become very like protective.

69
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: You're protective already, And I'm like, isn't it crazy how

70
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: dogs do that? We got two dogs in our house

71
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: and they it's like they just know. Yeah, like they

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: know about babies and like I gotta protect this thing,

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: like it's like an innate thing. And it's like that's

74
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: a human, you're a dog. How do you know this?

75
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: Like they just know, they just know, they just know.

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: So but no, everything's been good man. Good to see

00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: you again. Yeah, it's good to see you too. Yeah.

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: You like me, married a Buffalo girl and you know,

79
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: all sudden you're a Buffalonian two, you know what I mean.

80
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: We just we just celebrated thirty four years ago. Yeah, yeah,

81
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: that's all. Yeah. So, by the way, the Bills have

82
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: a game on Sunday. They got Washington coming up here.

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: We didn't get a chance to go out to practice

84
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: because it started a little late, so we didn't get

85
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: a chance to get an eyeball on that, but we

86
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: will eventually and we'll get the updated injury report. We

87
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: know Gabe Davis is still dealing with a little bit

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: of an ankle issue. He's practicing on a limited basis,

89
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: so it's nothing, doesn't sound like anything catastrophic. But we

90
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: saw Dane Jackson pop up on the injury report with

91
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: a knee. He was limited in practice yesterday, so we'll

92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: try to get updates to see where all that's going.

93
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Star Latoula did not practice yesterday, so we hope to

94
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: get an update on that. It's a new injury for him,

95
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: it's a groin injury. You came back from the calf

96
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: last week, played well, so we'll see what's going on

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: with him too, when we get those updates from some

98
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: of our eyes and ears out there on the field.

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Did you see the new nominee list for the twenty

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: twenty two class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: He got a couple of your former teammates on the

102
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: initial list, including Steve including Steve was on, Ruben was on. Yeah,

103
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's uh Spikes, Fletcher, Troy Vincent, Larry Centers,

104
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean Jess but you know, you look at that listen, like, wow,

105
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: Tequillo Spice really played for the Bills. Yeah, I mean

106
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: it's still I mean, one of the top tacklers in

107
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: the history of the game. Yeah. And he was an

108
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: iron man too. He played long stretch of consecutive starts too,

109
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: like that guy who was dragging himself out there. Yeah.

110
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: But like I said this morning, I was talking to

111
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Brian Mitchell us to play for the red Skins, and

112
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: I told him and once I got on, I was saying, uh,

113
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: you know what, two of the best special team players,

114
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: they should be in the Hall of Fame. Brian Mitchell

115
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: was a great special team player as he was, and

116
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: did a lot of great things, you know, on the offense,

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: and I would put him in Steve's special Yeah. Absolutely.

118
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: And I told him, I said, two best Bester team

119
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: players are not in the Hall of Famer, and that's

120
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: you and Steve Tasker. You guys should be. And there's

121
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: another one on the nominee list this year, the guy

122
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: who's got the record for the most returns for touchdowns

123
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: in league history. He's on a list too. So we

124
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: were talking about that the other day in Steve's absence,

125
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Steve was already away and we were talking about it

126
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: a little bit on the show, and I wonder. I'm

127
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: wondering if a guy with all that flash and dash,

128
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: with all of those big plays on a highlight reel

129
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: for scores would potentially leap Frock somebody like Steve or

130
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: Brian Mitchell. Brian Mitchell was a return man in his

131
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: own right and had some returns for touchdowns too. I

132
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: think Steve might even have a couple from his earlier days.

133
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: But Devin Hester's numbers as a return man our record breaking.

134
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: And I think when people say Devin Hester, their immediate

135
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: transported to the highlight reel of him taking things back

136
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: for touching the punt and kick, and I think he

137
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: had I want to say he had twenty in his career.

138
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: Maybe I gotta look at I'll look it up to

139
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: make sure he break Dion Sanders record. So he's got

140
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: more total returns for touchdowns and any other player that's

141
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: ever played the game. And so it gives me pause.

142
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: It makes me wonder like does that guy do that

143
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: guy's credentials get him in and does that help some

144
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: of the older guys or does it hurt because he's

145
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: passed over. You know, he's kind of over there. They're

146
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: getting overlooked in favor of him. I don't know how

147
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: it's looking with that, and I'm just very curious how

148
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: that's going to kind of come down when it all

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: comes out in the wash and then you get down

150
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: to the semi finalist list and then the finalists and

151
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: then you know, the Hall of Fame son show up

152
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: and do what they do. Could it could come down

153
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: to where you know, he probably if it goes a

154
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: couple of more years, he probably would get him four

155
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: task And Mitchell, I'm very curious to see how it

156
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: goes because we've we saw it at Receiver, you know,

157
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we're dealing with it with Andre where everybody's like, well,

158
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta wait your turn. We got a

159
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: log jam here, and this guy's got to go in

160
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: before that guy and this guy like you know, you know,

161
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: and then it's going like that, and it's like, Okay,

162
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, we got Andre in before Tory Holt or

163
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, anybody from those late nineties early two thousands teams. Okay, great,

164
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: is it gonna happen? Are we gonna take care of

165
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: the special teamers too? Like what's right is right here

166
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: kind of thing, And so I'm really wondering how it's

167
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: all gonna come out in the wash when they make

168
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: those decisions. What about Biscuit? What about Um Ruben? Like,

169
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a As we know, this

170
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: is a list of ridiculous players. So you know, you

171
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: could pick just about anybody and say, yeah, he's a

172
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. But we've seen Cornelius on this list before.

173
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Um Ruben obviously has the Pro Bowl credentials, appeared in

174
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with Chicago in addition to his time here.

175
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know what are your thoughts on those

176
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: two guys. Man, It's tough to really um say, obviously,

177
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: I think both of those guys should be in. Yeah, eventually,

178
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: we're a little boy, yeah, a little boys. But I think,

179
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, if I go back and you look at

180
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: some of the stats of some of the guys who

181
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: have played their position, I think Ruben probably, I think

182
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Ruben is right up there with like Will Shills. I

183
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: think Will Shiels played like nine to ten really good

184
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: guard too, really good guard for the chief for a

185
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: long period of time. So you're talking about that type

186
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: of guy. Yeah, Ruben should be in. Yeah, and guy

187
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: with a guy like Corneis. I know, you know everybody

188
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: looks at the linebacker position. They in the first thing

189
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: you think of it's lt and one hundred and thirty

190
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: seven sacks and a half. Yeah, right, Well Corneians didn't

191
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: have that. He didn't have that. Darrel didn't have that.

192
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Corneers was a guy who could rush the passer when

193
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: called upon. If he had Bruce Smith on the other side, yeah, yeah,

194
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: it made him, but he was more of a talented

195
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: football player. When you talk about a guy in space,

196
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: a guy that can cover the running back, a guy

197
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: that can run down the field with a title, you

198
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: don't find out having the linebackers that can do that.

199
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: Well you didn't back then, No, you didn't back There's

200
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: more of them now. And the difference is they're all

201
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty five, two hundred and thirty pounds, right,

202
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Cornelius was two fifty five two fifty five. Yeah, And

203
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: and they're running down the field with tight is that?

204
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: Who are sixty four two fifty that are running four

205
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: fourth prize down the football on a roster, on a

206
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: Bill's roster of ridiculous athletes, Cornelius is right up there,

207
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: right like he's right up there with Bruce. Like Bruce

208
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: did things that some people just can't do. I mean,

209
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: I remember talking to Marcella's Wiley and I'm saying, well,

210
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: what are you learning from Bruce. He's like, well, he

211
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: tried to show me how I dropped my shoulder and

212
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, kind of run at a forty five degree

213
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: angle around the tackle. He goes, I tried to do

214
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: what Bruce did and I fell down. You know, there

215
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: were things that Bruce could do that nobody else could do. UM.

216
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: But so you know you so, okay, maybe you have

217
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: Bruce as like the ultimate athlete on a ridiculous roster

218
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: of athletes, but Cornelius is not here. There were some

219
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: things that he could do. He was not far behind.

220
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: I can remember what the year in nineteen eighty seven,

221
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: I was still in college. Yeah, yeah, my senior year

222
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma State when I remember when he got where

223
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: he got traded here. But his last game against the

224
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles with seventeen tackles, with four or five sacks

225
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: in the game. Um, in that game, the last game

226
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: of the season, and I'm thinking to myself, I'm in

227
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: college and I see this and I hear about it,

228
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: and I get here and I always tell people Corneers

229
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: and Dare helped me so much with my career. Try

230
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: blocking those guys and training him and then you know,

231
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: trying to run a pass pattern on Corneians who just

232
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: as fast as I am, tried doing that. Those guys

233
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: helped me so much to get to where I was

234
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: at because because oh yeah, I'm like, well, well, who's

235
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: gonna be trying to guard me, Corneez or Derek, because

236
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: you better be on top of your game because there's

237
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: no way that you, yeah, that you're gonna stop me.

238
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: After training against those guys for six weeks for two months,

239
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: but I man, you know, guy made game changing place.

240
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 1: I just remember. I don't know why it sticks in

241
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: my head, but I just remember him batting down so

242
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: many dang passes in the pass game. He might not

243
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: always get to the quarterback, but he's jumping like three

244
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: feet in the air knocking stuff down. You know, even

245
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: with big pocket quarterbacks. You know, whether it's I mean,

246
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: run down the list. You know, Warren Moon's back there passing.

247
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: He's no shrimp and he's throwing it trying to throw

248
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: it out to the flat and biscuits out there batting

249
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: stuff down and like whacking balls out of the air.

250
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: And I mean, he's just a freaking nature. Yeah. I

251
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: just gotta watch and see, you know how many guys

252
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: who were on that list and who's gonna get cut now? Yeah,

253
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean right now, there's just so many nominees that

254
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: are out there right now, so you know, you're just

255
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: kind of waiting until when they do the next Okay,

256
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: let's see you on this narrowing now right now, let's

257
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: narrow it down. They got down to the to the

258
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: twenty five. Now, okay, well, next week they're gonna know

259
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: who's who's in and who's out. But you you, you

260
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: go by the numbers and then you stack up a

261
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: guy like Corneia's numbers and Ruben brown numbers against some

262
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: of the guys that are in the Pro Football Hall

263
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: of Fame right now. And the thing is, the thing

264
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: that always kind of rolls in my head is they

265
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: took care of that log jam at the receiver position

266
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: for the most part. Um, they probably didn't make everybody happy,

267
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: but man, they even got um Drew Pearson in last

268
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: year after he kind of felt like he got left

269
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: out of the cold. He was with his squeaky wheel

270
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: gets the grease, I guess right. I mean he had

271
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: a great career, don't get me wrong, but yeah, he

272
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: was he was not happy. He was like holding press

273
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: conferences and doing all kinds of stuff. I was like,

274
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the approach you want to

275
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: take with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He may

276
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: just want to hang out for a little bit um.

277
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: But they took care of the log jam receiver. And

278
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, like, all you've got is Ray

279
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: Guy and Morton Anderson on special teams in the Hall

280
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: of Fame. Like room, You're right. So I'm like, you

281
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: gotta kind of you gotta address that in some way.

282
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: And and and the thing about it is that you

283
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: hear all these coaches that they still talk about special

284
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: team and how important is I mean, look what happened

285
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: the first week of the season, right, difference in the game,

286
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: just a difference in the game. Yeah. And and Tasker

287
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: did that his our entire career. Yeah, he did that

288
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: in his entire career. Marvel Levy always said, the most

289
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: exciting play that can change the momentum out of anything

290
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: besides the interception for a touchdown or a long pass play.

291
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: Is A is A is a special teams play. If

292
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: it goes for a touchdown, it changes the entire momentum

293
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: of everything, the fans, the other team, your team, It

294
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: changes everything. And hey, man, I'm a I'm a sitting

295
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: up here in calling the Hall of Fame and throw

296
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: Tasker name out there as much as I have been. Yeah. Yeah,

297
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: I looked up Hester's numbers. Nineteen, So he's got fourteen

298
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: punt returns for touchdowns and he's got five kick returns

299
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: for touchdowns. Now four of those listen to this, Okay.

300
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: His first two years in Chicago two thousand and six,

301
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, he had seven punt returns for

302
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns and four kick returns for touchdowns in two seasons.

303
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: So he had returns for touchdowns in his first two seasons.

304
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: And how long did he play? He played eleven years years.

305
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: Next nine years he only got what eight? Yeah, so

306
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: he had five six, seven, eight yeah, eight eight. But

307
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: those first two years, man, he went to the Pro

308
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: Bowl both years for special teams, as you would expect.

309
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: And now, I mean, nowadays, nobody's touching at nobody's touching

310
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: that total because you can't it's almost impossible to return

311
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: kicks for touchdowns. Now you can do it with them

312
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: kicking off at the thirty five no, right, especially, you

313
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: haven't been a chance of And the kickers now are

314
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot better. They're just putting it through the back

315
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: of the end. I mean, you see Tyler Bass here,

316
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: he's already got ten touchbacks, or he'd be lucky to

317
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: have a guy get that in half a season back.

318
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: And when you guys were playing kicking from the thirty right,

319
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: Bruce Hayman, you say, I'm kicking in the corner, right, Yeah, yeah,

320
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: kicking in the corner. Yeah, we want to let them

321
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: return it, but make sure that ball is right there

322
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: in the corner. Yeah, So I know one that probably

323
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna take. I don't know if anybody's ever gonna

324
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: touch nineteen return total returns for touchdowns in a career.

325
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot. That's a lot. That's a lot.

326
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: So that's hard to ignore. So that's why I'm curious

327
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: how he's gonna factor in to the Special Team's candidacy

328
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Uh, Going forward,

329
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, what did you think of the to

330
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: a situation early in the week, it's bruised ribs, bruised ribs,

331
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: no cartilage damage, X ray negative. We took Mriyes, he's

332
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: only got bruised ribs. Then they come out yesterday like, uh,

333
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: we got a couple of cracked ribs now, so he's

334
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: not playing this week and we don't even gonna play again.

335
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: It's like, what new tests did you do? How did

336
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: you miss that? Like MRI, Like, if you've got cracked ribs,

337
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: even if they're hairline, doctors can see that, right, I

338
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: mean they X rays around the body now, And what

339
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: was Tour doing. I mean he had to be in

340
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: pain or well he was in obvious pain him coming

341
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: off the field, right. But I'm just saying, I'm just

342
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: wondering how the hell they missed that? How did they

343
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: miss that? I don't know, because you know what I'm

344
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: talking about. They got those like three hundred and sixty

345
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: degree X rays things. Now, where they can they go

346
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: the whole thing? I've seen it. It It goes all the

347
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: way around your body, YEA to check out for cracks, bones, anything,

348
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: nothing negative negative. On Monday, they're saying, and then yesterday

349
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: Flores comes out and he's like, oh, yeah, you know

350
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: what after for the testing he actually has for actor ribs,

351
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play. Um, yeah, I don't know. It's

352
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: just strange and the history down there with the doctors

353
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: and everything, and I'm sure you know they're all well

354
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: qualified to work in the NFL, good people trying to

355
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: do the right thing. But immediately Dolphins fans, they go

356
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: right back to the whole Drew Brees thing when they

357
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: didn't clear his shoulder and said, no, you don't want

358
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: that guy, right, you don't want that guy. Yeah, that's

359
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: a bad shoulder. You don't want. You miss your quarterback.

360
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: He goes down to New Orleans play for another fourteen years.

361
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: It can't be right, It can't it can't be. Please

362
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: tell me it's not. Please, it's something that wanted to.

363
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: Everything tells me those doctors didn't last very long after

364
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: Drew Brees was going to Pro Bowls every year in

365
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: New Orleans. So these mighty two it might not be.

366
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: But we missed this one here. Yeah we got problems. Yeah. Um,

367
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: and there are other quarterback issues too, because Tyrod's got

368
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. He went on IR for Houston. So

369
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Davis Mills, the rookie out of Stanford

370
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: playing quarterback for Houston against the Panthers tonight. So that's

371
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. Um, and Sam Donald's off to a

372
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: decent start in Carolina. They got a good defense. Now

373
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: got a good defense. They do have a good defense.

374
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: And you know what, it just you know, sometimes you

375
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: can draft the right guy. I just don't think Sam

376
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: Donald was that guy for the Jet to be down there.

377
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: I mean now that you look at him, yeah, and

378
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: look at what I mean he's not I mean he's

379
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: putting up numbers there two and oh, and he's with

380
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 1: a different environment, with a different team. He's got a

381
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: really good running game with the yes, exactly, so you

382
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: get the and I don't think he had that in

383
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: New York. Well that's the thing. They didn't build it

384
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: around him. Well, they had a coaching change, a GM change. Right,

385
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: it's just too much stuff in a state of flux,

386
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: which unfortunately has been the story in New York for

387
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: a long time. Are they gonna do the same thing

388
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: with Zach Wilson, Well, are they gonname some guys in there? Yeah,

389
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I do think Joe Douglas has a

390
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: vision as GM and the Jets. He's a former offensive

391
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: lineman himself, so I think he knows that he knows

392
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: he has a plan and a vision as to how

393
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: to build it around Zach Wilson and I think for

394
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, they got the

395
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: head coaching higher right. I think Robert sala is good

396
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: for that team. I think he's he's got a vision,

397
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: knows how he wants to lay it out. Um. They've

398
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries here to start the season.

399
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: I mean they were losing people left and right in

400
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: training camp and joint practices with the Packers. They're losing

401
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: people all over the place. They lost McKay Beckton, their

402
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: left tackle last week. He just had surgeries. Gonna be

403
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 1: out for like half the season. That's tough. I'm so

404
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: glad to join it because I have absolutely no idea

405
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, who's injured or what. They've lost

406
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people, that's all you need to know.

407
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: They've lost a lot of the build. I don't know

408
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: what other teams are really doing something. I'm so glad

409
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: that you are sitting over there because you asked the question,

410
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: you ought to go down the rabbit hole. So I'm

411
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: taking it. I did, and that's why I'm only filling

412
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: in today. So that's why, that's why the Jet. It's

413
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna take some time with the Jets. But I think

414
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: they have the right head coach in place. Now, let's

415
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: see what he can do with what they're doing down there.

416
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: And they got more draft picks that lined up for

417
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: next year or two. So if they if they make,

418
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: if hit on some some guys, you know, they could

419
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: gain some traction and not just being also ran in

420
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: this division anymore. But it's gonna it's gonna take one time.

421
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: One of the hardest places to play man. Zach Wilson

422
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: found that outlet. Did you see his press conference after

423
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: game last So he throws four picks in the game

424
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: last week because you know, so they start asking this kid,

425
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: you know, who really hasn't been outside of Provo, Utah

426
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: his entire life exactly, and they you know, now you're

427
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: dropped into New York, good luck son, right, So they're

428
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: asking him all the questions about the interception he threw

429
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: over here, what happened over there, you know, And it's

430
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: New England, so you know, the whole thing with New

431
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: York and New England over the last several years. So

432
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: then somebody asks him the question, did you see any ghosts?

433
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: Because you remember what Sam Arnold said last year when

434
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: he said I was seeing ghosts out there. So somebody

435
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: fires that question. Believe that. Oh so he kind of

436
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: nervously chuckled, and he's like, no, right, So I'm glad

437
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: he gave a short answer to that. Who was that guy?

438
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: Come on, I don't know, but like, come on, right,

439
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: you know what Belichick does the rookie quarterbacks. What I mean,

440
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: no matter what, He's done that to every single rookie

441
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and he's going to continue to do it. So yeah,

442
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: I just for me, it's just so tough being and

443
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: playing in New York. You have to be so especially

444
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: playing at that that position, that's tough. That is tough.

445
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean who you got, you got Daniel Jones and

446
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. I mean, that's a tough environment to be in. Man.

447
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: I really a lot of the guys around here really

448
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: appreciate kind of being in the small market here in Buffalo.

449
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: We didn't have to ask answer to those hard questions

450
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, all the newspapers in New York have

451
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: been relentless this week because you saw that. You saw

452
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson throw four picks and lose to the hated

453
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: New England Patriots twenty five to six. And then the

454
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: Giants last Thursday night have a guy jump off sides

455
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: on a game winning field goal that goes wide right,

456
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: and the guy gets a second chance, and you know,

457
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: you know when kickers get a practice swing, Oh yeah,

458
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, so, yeah, they always there the second one. Yeah,

459
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: So did that guy get cut? Oh the defensive line?

460
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think that would have

461
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: been classic Belichick right there. Well, Joe Judge is trying

462
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: as he can, right yeah, I mean yeah, Oh, running

463
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: running penalty laps at training camp, and oh my gosh,

464
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: it's like you gotta read the room, buddy, read the room.

465
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: I wanted about this off your therm. So we know

466
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: that fans are back in the stands this year, right,

467
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: and so I think there were some that anticipated all

468
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: fans are back in the stands, teams are gonna have

469
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: real home field advantage again. Crowd noise, that kind of

470
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: stuff messing up the visiting offense, this, that, and whatever.

471
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: But home field advantage it hasn't shown up yet, at

472
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: least in terms of wins and losses. So through the

473
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: first two weeks, thirty two games home teams sixteen and sixteen,

474
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: right right down the middle, no advantage whatsoever. One sixteen

475
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: and lost sixteen. Now we'll see. I mean that's a

476
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: small sample size, right right, right right, isn't a home

477
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: field advantage? I'm not so sure. I mean, wow, those

478
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: sixteen and sixteen. Yeah, I mean the record would say

479
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: no Bills lost their first home game, right, Yeah. You

480
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: heard how loud it was here. Yeah, So I don't know.

481
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think about that. I want

482
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: to see if let's let a few more weeks. Yeah, yeah,

483
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't think two weeks is an enough for a trend. No, No,

484
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look, look how look how bad Aaron Rodgers

485
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: looked his first week and then look what happened right exactly. So,

486
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean he's and he's the classic guy up. Yeah

487
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: that was nothing. Yeah, I didn't play well, Relax, Yeah,

488
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: I got this. He comes down and throws four touchdowns

489
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: and him and Aaron Jones, uh yeah, and uh so yeah,

490
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, but it's early in the year.

491
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Teams are really still I think once you get down

492
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: to maybe after what four or five games, Yeah, I

493
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: think it starts. Well. We had we had Kyle Brandt

494
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: from NFL Network on the show from Good Morning Football

495
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. He's on every Tuesday here, and I thought

496
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: he had one of the most true statements I have

497
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: ever heard about early season football. He said, week one

498
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: is a lie. Yeah, Week one is a lie. Don't

499
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: be fooled by it, right. Yeah. You know, we had people,

500
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, with their undis in a bunch, you know,

501
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: after that first game against the Steelers here, and we

502
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: were getting phone calls left and right, you know, and

503
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: then things kind of drift back to where we expected

504
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: him to be, maybe even more so with the thirty

505
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: five nothing win last week. But you mentioned Green Bay.

506
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: They laid an egg in week one, right, bounce back

507
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: in week two, and you know, off we go. So, yeah,

508
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: week one is a lie. You can't take anything out

509
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: of week one, No, you really can't, Like you know,

510
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: the only thing that I got out of week one

511
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: is that Tom Brady is still good. Yeah, and unfortunately

512
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: that remains true. Yeah, that remains true, thinking to myself

513
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: the other day, I was talking to my son on

514
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: the phone. It was like, could he play's fifty? Well,

515
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: it's funny you mentioned that, because he did like a

516
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: little video segment with Gronk for their team website where

517
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: they're sitting by a kiddie pool, you know, they get

518
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: the feet in the pool. They're in lounge chairs, they're

519
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: sipping drinks with umbrellas in them, and Gronk's firing off

520
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: questions and some and one of the fans asked, can

521
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: you play till you're fifty? And he's like, uh, you

522
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: think about that. He's like, I'm forty four. Everybody interests, Yeah,

523
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think he's out of the

524
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: realm of possibility. I'm like, dear Jesus, dear Jesus, if

525
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: there is a god in heaven, are you really gonna

526
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: make the rest of the fans of other teams in

527
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: this league deal with this guy for another six six years?

528
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I really thought back in like twenty ten,

529
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, this is awful. Okay, we can't

530
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: beat this guy. All he does is go to Super Bowls.

531
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: He's won six out of the nine he's been to

532
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: or set. What is it six? Yeah, he's won six? Right? Seven?

533
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Is it? Oh my god, it's seven? Can't even keep tracking? Seven?

534
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: Seven out of ten he's won. Yeah, we're all suffering

535
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: with this. Okay. So it's like, this is like ten

536
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: years ago. I'm thinking of myself, Wow, it's bad now, okay,

537
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: but there is gonna come a time where he's not

538
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: playing anymore. And I'm doing the math in my head

539
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: back in two thoy ten and I'm saying, okay, sa, wow,

540
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: he'll definitely be gone by twenty twenty, like he'll he'll

541
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: be out of the league by twenty twenty. He want

542
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: a super Bowl in twenty twenty. I thought when it

543
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 1: was like when Peyton Manning went down, I thought he

544
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 1: was going down with him. Stephen I have had these

545
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: discussions all the time. He was like, don't worry, Brownie.

546
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: He's like, father time is undefeatd I was like, I'm

547
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: watching the Super Bowl asking I'm like, is it is

548
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: Father time? I defeat it yet? Because it ain't looking good. Here,

549
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: wait a minute. They have a picture up on Twitter

550
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: and if you can find it, it's a picture of

551
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in his twenty second year. Yeah, this year. Yeah,

552
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: and George Blanda in his twenty second year with the Raiders. Oh,

553
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: that's not gonna be a good lark. Oh, there's no

554
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: Oh it looks it looked like George brown had to

555
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: be at least eighty Yeah, and he was only kicking

556
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: back at the end of his career. But oh my,

557
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: I was like wathering, who put this up? Yeah? I

558
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know Brownie, I could he I'm

559
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: not paying and I'm not to doubt if he plays

560
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: for another six years, he might end up with ten

561
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Where the hell is the drop off? That's

562
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: what I want to know. Guy's got nine touchdowns through

563
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: the first two weeks. I mean he's surrounded by Oodle's

564
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: a talent there too. So I tell people this all

565
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: the time. How many actually deep balls have you ever

566
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: seen Tom Brady through? There's not a lot, there's some,

567
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: but his his passes, man, are in between five or

568
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: fifteen yards pretty much all it. Never throw the deep

569
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: pay me through it all the time. What happened to him?

570
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: Arm just died and then he had the neck problems problem.

571
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: But tom Brady, man, it's fifteen here seven here. Yeah,

572
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: and he doesn't look at him and he looks different,

573
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: and he doesn't touched. No, he doesn't get touched at all.

574
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: All right, my stomach's turning. Okay, all right, I can't

575
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: talk about Brady anymore. Hey, we play them this year.

576
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, well let's hope let's hope their teams

577
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: struggling or something at that time between. Let's keep playing

606
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: So Jay Harris, our producer, is fantastic, no question about it.

607
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: Before we dive into your lineup field, which I am

608
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: very interested in seeing because I don't have a whole

609
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: lot of experience with the salary cap lineup stuff, so

610
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see what your choices are just wanted

611
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: to get your initial thoughts on the Week three matchup

612
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: up here in Buffalo this week. Washington coming off a

613
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: thrilling victory on Thursday Night Football from last week against

614
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: the Giants, Bills coming off a thirty five nothing whitewash

615
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins. So it's kind of interesting two teams

616
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: coming in, one riding high on a motion, the other

617
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 1: riding high off a convincing division victory. Yeah, and it

618
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: feels like though the Washington football team has not been

619
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: as dominant defensively as we expected coming into this season.

620
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: They allowed Daniel Jones to have maybe the best game

621
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: of his career last Thursday Night, and that came after

622
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: losing to the Chart week on justin it was good. Well,

623
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: the Bills offense got on track a little bit in

624
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: Week two, but it feels like it's an offense that

625
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: will tell you right now they can be decidedly better

626
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: to fond eggs under seventy receiving yards in the first

627
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: two games of the season. Obviously, that's like that's like

628
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: a low bar for him to clear. So it feels

629
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: like this is a matchup of two teams that their

630
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: best football is ahead of them. I think the Bill's

631
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: offense is too overwhelming for this Washington football team to

632
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: go on the road and win the game. But I

633
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: do think this is a good opportunity for each of

634
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: them to kickstart things or maybe level up a little

635
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: bit based off where they were during the first two

636
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Yeah, all right, well, let's jump

637
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: into it here the ultimate Fantasy lineup presented by FanDuel

638
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: by one Field Yate. So, salary cap is a part

639
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: of the equation here, which makes it a little tougher

640
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: than you know, some of those traditional leagues that don't

641
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: do that. So at the quarterback position, keeping cost in mind,

642
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: where did you go here? Yeah, So, just to make

643
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: clear for everybody that hasn't yet dipped their toes into

644
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: the water of a fan duel lineup, you are restricted

645
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: by a salary cap, and every player has an assigned

646
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: salary that is usually generated at some point during the

647
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: day on Monday. Now, with injuries, with Monday night football performances,

648
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: and anything else that could come up during the week,

649
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: sometimes those prices look too steep or too cheap. You're

650
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: always looking for value to offset some of the highest

651
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: priced players in your lineup. So now that I've gotten

652
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: kind of the rules of the game out. I'm going

653
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: to start a quarterback with Daniel Jones. We just talked

654
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: about coming off of that great game against the Washington

655
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: football team. He plays the Falcons on Sunday. That game

656
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 1: is in New York. I'm not sure the homebuild advantage

657
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: matters that much. But what was really encouraging from Daniel

658
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: Jones last week was that he had six designed runs.

659
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: And the goal in daily fantasy, just for people that

660
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: have not yet played before, is typically to try to

661
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: return three times the salary. The salary for Daniel Jones

662
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: is seventy four hundred dollars, which means you're looking for

663
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: like twenty two or so points out of him to

664
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: feel like you're getting good return on investment. He's averaging

665
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: over twenty five points per game. I think it's a

666
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: very good matchup as well. Wow, I can't this is amazing.

667
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: I've never seen I've never even seen anything like this before.

668
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I've really been missing out on a lot

669
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: of fantasy football. Fantasy football. Yeah, I mean I joined

670
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: the league maybe would four years ago and won it

671
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: four years and really and they never called me back.

672
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: They never called me back. I never got the wide

673
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: oh yeah, so yeah, I don't even speak to those

674
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: people in the wall anything no more. But coming up

675
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: with Alvin Kamara, I mean, who is he playing, because

676
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: right now you got him now running backs? Yeah, who

677
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: don't run any running back? Yeah? Yeah. As we moved

678
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: to running backs, Thurman Thomas was a little bit outside

679
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: of my budget, so I could fit him into my

680
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: lineup Alvin Kamara instead. And Kamara has priced at eight

681
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, which is a huge number. You're gonna see that.

682
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: I really went value hunting at a few other spots

683
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: in my lineup and with com Era. While it was

684
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: not a good game this past week for anybody, for

685
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, the beauty and Alvin Kamara is

686
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: his pass catching ability. And the Patriots have earlier linebackers.

687
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: They don't have Matt Milano types playing every snap for

688
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: them or Tremaine Edmunds, these guys that are premium athletes

689
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: for the position. So I think that Alvin Kamara could

690
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: be busy as a pass catcher on Sunday. There's almost

691
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: always a good reason to have Alvin Kamara in your lineup.

692
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: It feels like the matchup on Sunday against the Patriots

693
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: makes it that much more worthwhile. And I'll just get

694
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: to the next running back in my lineup the same

695
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 1: exact game is James White for the Patriots, who last

696
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: year with Cam Newton under center, was not as productive

697
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: as we normally see him. Matt Jones has been looking

698
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: for him early and often, and you know, the Patriots

699
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: like what they've seen from Mac Jones. It's also been

700
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: a pretty conservative approach for them offensively. James White has

701
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: twelve catches already, and in fantasy football there is sincere

702
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: value in a running back that's going to catch a

703
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: bunch of asses. So I like the number there for

704
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: James White and has this ultimately ultimate fantasy lineup got

705
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: ppr Field just to check real quickness. Yeah all right,

706
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: Well then White for reception scorer. Yep. So for those

707
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: less acquainted, every catch counts as of points, and there

708
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: are different kinds of bonuses as well, Chris, based off

709
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: of yardages and things of that nature. But for running backs,

710
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to have a running back in your lineup

711
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: who's not going to catch a lot of passes in

712
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, well, that's a hell of a pick

713
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: then wide receiver. Now you got to fill three spots here,

714
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,959
Speaker 1: so layout where you went here? Yeah, I went big

715
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: in terms of my wide receivers this week. I'll start

716
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins, another player that you really don't need

717
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: to justify with a matchup or the weather or the opponents,

718
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: but DeAndre Hopkins does have a good spot in all

719
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: of those categories. They go to Jacksonville, a Jaguars team

720
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: that right now has done nothing to scare you in

721
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: terms of their secondary in Week one. The Texans did

722
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: whatever they wanted against the Jaguars in Week two, and Sutton,

723
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: who was held to one catch in Week one, was

724
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: one of the best players on the field regardless of

725
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: position in every NFL game. In Week two, he was awesome.

726
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: I think DeAndre Hopkins, who's coming off of yet another

727
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: strong start to the season, belongs in your daily fantasy

728
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: lineup and we'll just keep things right rolling from there.

729
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: How about Tyler Lockett, who has been unbelievable for the

730
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks through two games. It's the over under in this

731
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: game with Minnesota is fifty five and a half points,

732
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: one of the highest numbers on the board this week.

733
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: Everybody foresees this being a shootout, so throw Tyler Lockett

734
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: into your lineup. We dive deep into the wide receiver

735
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: and cornerback matchups for daily Fantasy. I expect that based

736
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: off of where the Vikings have utilized Patrick Peterson and

737
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: where the Seahawks have utilized DK Metcalf, that it's more

738
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: Metcalf versus Peterson than Lockett versus Peterson, and Peterson has

739
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: been the best player in that Minnesota cornerback room so far.

740
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: And then we'll wrap things up wide receiver with Ceedee Lamb,

741
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: who's been off to a red hot start himself eight

742
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: catches this past week. One of the breakthrough players in

743
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: the NFL this year, aside from the fact that he

744
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: went to Oklahoma. There's so much to like about Ceedee Lamb.

745
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: I know you appreciate that right there for me. But

746
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: Lamb also also could be the number one wide receiver

747
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: in this offense on Monday because Mary Cooper is currently

748
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: banged up. He's got a ribs issue. Doesn't sound like

749
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss the game on Monday night, but if

750
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: he does, that would mean that it would be Ceedee

751
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: Lamb and Cedric Wilson is the two top wide receiver

752
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott. You gotta figure Ceedee Lamb as the

753
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: most is the busiest of those two? Is gallop out?

754
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: Is gallop out still up? Yeah? He got a cat

755
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: issue right now? Right? Okay? Awesome tight end. Yet the

756
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: more I think everybody who watched Monday Night football probably

757
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: understands why I'm thinking TJ Hockinson because he was great

758
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: on Monday Night, and you know DJ Hockinson is. I

759
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: think if you he saw him at a different offense

760
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: right now, he might have even better numbers than what

761
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: we saw in Detroit. But so few wide receivers catching

762
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: passes right now for the Lions, and they are eight

763
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: point underdogs against the Baltimore Ravens, who obviously are coming

764
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: off of a spirited win in Week two against the Chiefs.

765
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: So you got to figure the script for Detroit could

766
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: be the same in week three as it was in

767
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: Week one and week two. Down big early, And you

768
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: have to throw it a ton, lady, because this game

769
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: that Hockinson played last week was on Monday Night. I

770
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: think he's undervalue. The price was set before the game

771
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: on Monday. I think sixty three hundred bucks is a

772
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 1: pretty good, I would say overall discount. So Teja Hockinson

773
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: is my tight end in this lineup. And then for

774
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: flex and defense, what position did you go with At flex? Yeah,

775
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: I went with Eagles wide receiver Jalen Rager. And this

776
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: game on Monday Night features a very good cornerback for

777
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,959
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Trevon Diggs, of course, the younger brother

778
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: of Stefon Diggs, Bills excellent wide receiver. So Dix has

779
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: been great so far this year. I think he'll cover

780
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: Davante Smith, the all everything receiver at Alabama last year

781
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: in the first round pick of the Eagles, Jalen Ragor

782
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: scored in Week one against the Falcons. And then I

783
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys saw this play because of

784
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: course the Bills game was taking place at the same

785
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: time last Sunday, but jale and Ragor had a touchdown

786
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: that was called back. It was like a forty nine

787
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: yard or against the forty nine ers, and he had

788
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: stepped out of bounds like the four yard line, and

789
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: you know the NFL, obviously you have to re establish

790
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: your position or else you can't be the first player

791
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: to touch the ball. I think if Ragor had caught

792
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: that touchdown cleanly, his price would be a lot more.

793
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: So I got him in my flex spot. And then

794
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: on the defense, I mean the Raiders. Man, this Raiders

795
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: defense looked like the truth against very good Baltimore offense

796
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,479
Speaker 1: and you know, at least a talented wide receiver group

797
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. They now played Miami on Sunday. This game

798
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: is in Las Vegas and no tool Tungo Byloa. The

799
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins offensive line has been a mess. You guys saw

800
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: that last weekend, right, and I'm not sure that Jacobe

801
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: Present is gonna strike a lot of fear into opposing defenses.

802
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: So I think the Raiders are one of those deals. Yeah, yeah,

803
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even think about any other defense besides that.

804
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: Looking at the Raiders, it's gonna be another blowout. Yeah,

805
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: I feel bad for me. I mean, I don't feel

806
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: bad for Miami, but I mean they're up against a

807
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: team right now who was two or old. Derek Carr

808
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: is playing well a defensive player. Chris Brown and I

809
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: just should up been talking about how great their defensive

810
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: line is playing. And Miami's offensive line is a mess

811
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, I think I can go out

812
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: and get a sack. Yeah, I'd pay to see that. Yeah,

813
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: that's right, Field, I would pay to see that. You're

814
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. All right, listen, Unfortunately we are

815
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: out of time here, Field. We could talk to you

816
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: all day about this, but we'll catch up with you

817

911
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: seven pm. But if you can't swing on by, THURM

912
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: be happy to say hi. We'd love to see you,

913
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: so maybe take a couple of pictures there. We'll get

914
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: that little bonus, little bonus that you get. In addition,

915
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: we told you at the top of the show we

916
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you what will play the biggest role

917
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: in a Bill's win over Washington on Sunday. There are

918
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: some choices there on the tweet sheet for you, JT.

919
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: On the tweet sheet, which is brought to you by

920
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

921
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, JT says the old line controlling Washington's great

922
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: pass rush. In week one, we had trouble blocking Watt

923
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: and the Steelers defense which caused a crucial strip sack

924
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: fumble from what if we give Alan time, we will

925
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 1: crush Washington this week. Kind of hope to see Fitzy,

926
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: but we will feast on Heineke. That is the story

927
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: coming out of Washington, theirm that this pass rush of Washington.

928
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean they have first round picks across the board

929
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: board up front with Chase Young and Montes Sweat both

930
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: coming off the edges. But they haven't had as much

931
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: pass rush success as everybody thought they would through the

932
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: first two weeks, and I gotta believe with Josh still

933
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: convinced he hasn't played his best game yet, and I

934
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: think we'd all agree with that based on how he

935
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: played last year in comparison, I think quick game is

936
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: the way to go to just get him in that

937
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: early rhythm. That not only helps him getting an early rhythm,

938
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: it neutralizes that pass rush coming at him. Yeah, and

939
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: I think so too. And when you talk about the

940
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: quick hitting plays, I'm more talking about the outside play.

941
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: I know that we have cold Beasley inside. I mean,

942
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: that's a throwing catch right there all the time. But

943
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: to have that timing pattern like ten fifteen yards out

944
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 1: to save Diggs or Gabe Davis being a little hitch pattern,

945
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, that's timing, that's rhythm if you can because

946
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: I think the first couple of game he missed on

947
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: a couple of those. He did, he did miss up

948
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: and those are like longer throws, but you have to

949
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: be on the money on the hitch play, and he wasn't.

950
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: So I think if he used those a little bit more,

951
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: get the time and now I think then you can

952
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: take it down to fifteen yards maybe, and then you

953
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: can start doing the shots down the field. But obviously

954
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: he said he's not. He hasn't played well the first

955
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and so I don't know if he

956
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: want to come out and you know what, jobs, just

957
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: play your game, Just play your game. Yeah, you know.

958
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: And we saw a good balance last week thirty three

959
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: passes thirty runs, which I know is right up your alley,

960
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: but hey, if you know. And the run defense for

961
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: Washington has been a little bit of an issue too.

962
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Barkley busted off that forty one yard or

963
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: last week. Daniel Jones even had a big run on

964
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: and had six design runs as we heard field Yates

965
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: tell us in last week's game, and had some success.

966
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: So whether you want Josh on a design run or

967
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: you can get that run game going, I want to

968
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: see them go back to the play action more. Remember

969
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 1: how well that worked for them last year. I wouldn't

970
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: mind seeing more of that in the game plan this week. Yeah,

971
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: and I liked some of the players that dab would

972
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: uh da da dable draw drew up you know, some

973
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: of the how many times did we see last year

974
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: Josh under the center not a ton, not a ton,

975
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: but enough but enough. And I think this Miami game,

976
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: he was under the center a little bit more, Yes,

977
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more, And so I think that gives

978
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: really for me the running back. I love what they're doing,

979
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 1: but you men an opportunity to see the entire field

980
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: when we're when you're handing off like that, or a

981
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: running back okay, yeah, to be right there next to

982
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback, it's hard to see what's over here. It's

983
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: hard to see what's over here. And uh, I think

984
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: with those guys being back there seven yards, yeah, you

985
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: can do still do play action, still do all your

986
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: stuff that you need to do, but when you're handing

987
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: off like that, it gives it gives that running back

988
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to see everything instead of just kind of

989
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: getting the ball from the sad. Yeah, it's interesting you

990
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 1: say that because here's the question that I've always had

991
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: And I don't even know if you ever had an

992
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: opportunity to play in this presnap formation, but Davil will

993
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: use a little pistol every once in a while too.

994
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: Did you ever get to line up in the pistol? Never? Yeah,

995
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't even know. What do you think of that?

996
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: Because technically you can see everything except what's right in

997
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: front of you, because that's the quarterbacks rear end. But

998
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, you've got you've got a field division where

999
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: you can kind of pick up your keys pre snap.

1000
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: I would think from the pistol as long as you

1001
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: set back far. Yeah, but uh yeah, I don't think

1002
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: we'll see that a lot. Yeah, I think, well, no,

1003
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: he only goes to it like two or three times

1004
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: a time. Yeah, but you sit more down in the

1005
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: red zone too, more down in the rid zone. Yeah,

1006
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean I was never put in that

1007
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: position to do it, so I don't really kind of

1008
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: understand what's going on when you're during a pistol or

1009
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: whatever you're doing. Is I would have liked to see

1010
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: you on that a little bit. I would have that

1011
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: would have been interesting because it forces the defense because

1012
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: there's no there's no strength of you know what I mean,

1013
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: because you're you're all in a lot. It's kind of

1014
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: like a hybrid eye formation. I guess you just you

1015
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: got the only two people instead of three, right, But yeah,

1016
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just I like the little wrinkle

1017
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: at it gives them. He does it every week every week.

1018
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: He's got fifteen things he's throwing at them. What do

1019
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: you think of this? What do you think of that?

1020
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: And then you know he's good. He's really good as

1021
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: a play caller. I love watching day Ball work every week. Yeah,

1022
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: I know. And to have him watch him work the

1023
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: past three years, four years or wherever. Big you know

1024
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: he's going to get a head coaching job. Oh yeah,

1025
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: sometimes enjoy it, Jordan. Now what we have now because

1026
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, who's the uh god,

1027
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: I keep forgetting who's the offensive coordinator beside him? Dorsey?

1028
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, quarterback coach. So hopefully he is getting his

1029
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 1: knowledge announcer where they don't have to change. Yeah, that'll

1030
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: be that'll be something. But I know Jim's and here's

1031
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 1: here a loot the whole Miami connection there, Jim Zone

1032
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: is talking to Dorsey. That's pretty funny. All right, We

1033
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: gotta take a break here. When we come back, we'll

1034
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: get more your thoughts on the tweet sheet. And we

1035
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: also have from espn dot com Washington football team beat

1036
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: reporter John come to give us the lowdown on what

1037
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: we can expect from Washington, how some of their units

1038
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: are playing as if late. So we'll get to all

1039
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 1: of that when we come back here on One Bill's Live,

1040

00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

1042
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1043
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: player for State, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

1044

00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 1: too much fun. I can't get that out of my mind.

1047
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Chris Brown and Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas

1048
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: in for Steve Tasker, and uh, we don't want to

1049
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: waste any time here because we do have to get

1050
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: right to ESPN dot com. Washington Football team beat reporter

1051
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: John Kime. He's here to fill us in on what

1052
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: is going on with the Washington football team as the

1053
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: Bills prepare for their arrival on Sunday. So here is

1054
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: John Kime. All right, John, thanks for taking the time

1055
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: to join us here. We appreciate it. I want to

1056
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: begin with I guess the Washington injury report. It kind

1057
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: of surprised me a little bit to see Antonio Gibson

1058
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: pop up there with the shoulder injury, and then I

1059
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: know matt Ianitis isn't a starter, but he's an important

1060
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: part of that defensive line rotation. What is What do

1061
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: you think the chances are of these two having these

1062
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: injuries linger into the weekend well as you know, like

1063
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: for a running back, especially like Antonio Gibson, I don't.

1064
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: I think those things are going to linger for a while.

1065
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna stop them. They played two

1066
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: games in five days, and yesterday was the well I

1067
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: guess this week. You know, they came back on Tuesday,

1068
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: so I think just the normal wear and terror or

1069
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: for normal week, you're probably not going to practice much

1070
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: on Wednesday in that situation. So because they started practice

1071
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier this week on a Tuesday, I

1072
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: think they wanted to make sure. So I don't get

1073
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 1: the sense that they are necessarily worried about him at all.

1074
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: I just think it's a seventeen game season, two games

1075
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: and five days. Be careful with matt Ionitis. I don't know,

1076
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: because he hurt that knee during the game against the

1077
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: Giants on Thursday, but he did go back in. He's

1078
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: been limited all week. At least Gibson's been out there

1079
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: and pads and all that going through drills, Ionitis has

1080
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: been limited and working off on a side field, just

1081
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: kind of doing some whether it's agility or whatever. So

1082
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would assume he's going to play

1083
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: because he was able to come back in, but I

1084
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 1: don't know that for sure at this point. You are right,

1085
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: he's very important. He might be. I know John Allen

1086
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: has more sacks right now, but I think Ionitis might

1087
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: be their best interior pass rusher. So if he can't play,

1088
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: it would be a loss. But I would think at

1089
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: this point that he would. But we don't know for sure.

1090
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera, has he been asked or has he made

1091
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: any mention of the benefit of having three extra days

1092
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: of preparation coming off, you know, the third day night

1093
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: game to get ready for this Bill's team. We've seen

1094
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,720
Speaker 1: some teams make a bigger issue of it than others.

1095
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm just curious if it's even been raised as a

1096
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 1: as an issue or a benefit of any kind. Knowing

1097
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: that that's an extra three days for coaches to pour

1098
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: over film and maybe tweak the game plan or make

1099
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: it a little more complex with the extra time they

1100
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: have on their hands. A little bit, but not a

1101
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: huge topic. I think a bigger topic with that, one

1102
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: of which was this is, as you know, those Thursday

1103
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: games are almost like a byeweek because you get that

1104
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: weekend off, so you have a long time, and it

1105
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: was more about do you like having that kind of

1106
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: week this early in the year. I think the answers

1107
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,919
Speaker 1: you'd rather have that later in the year. And then

1108
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: it's more about the familiarity with the staffs because of

1109
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: the crossover with the Carolina Times and all that, and

1110
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: how that can impact the game more so than the

1111
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: extra preparation. I think that I think the extra preparation

1112
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 1: I think, as you know, is always probably a good thing.

1113
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: But we've also seen coaches who and players who do

1114
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: it's paralysis by analysis, So I think you have to

1115
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: make sure that you're not going too hard over preparing

1116
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: for something like this too, right. The defensive line obviously

1117
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: gets a lot of the pub there with first round

1118
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: picks across the board. I'm just curious though, because defensively,

1119
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, out of the gate here their rankings aren't

1120
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: great in terms of yards allowed in the like, So

1121
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: in your opinion, is this a defense that relies on

1122
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: the pass rush and their front you know, putting creating

1123
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: long down and distant situations. And if their effort is

1124
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: absent or if that is absent from the equation, does

1125
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: this defense struggle or do you believe this is a

1126
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: defense that has more to offer than just that front four.

1127
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: I think they have a little bit more to offer

1128
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: than just the front four. I do think though, I

1129
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: think the secondary could develop into a solid one. They

1130
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: signed William Jackson the offseason. They drafted a rookie corner

1131
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: on the third round, Benjamin Saint Jus. He's playing a lot,

1132
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: so you know, and they have Landing Colens back at safety,

1133
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: Cam Curl Bobby McCain who had been in Miami. So

1134
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: I think it's I think they have the potential be solid.

1135
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: I think they feel pretty good about depth there the linebackers.

1136
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: Linebackers where I think people have their biggest concerns. They

1137
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: have a rookie and first round pick Jamon Davis, who

1138
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: is progressing, but he's not playing at a level where

1139
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: they need to to take this defense to the quote

1140
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: unquote next step. John Bostick plays a lot journeyman linebacker,

1141
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, will make some plays, has some men stings,

1142
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: but he's a guy that I think at this point

1143
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: you'd rather have someone else starting to elevate this defense

1144
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: and that you know, so, yes, I think that is

1145
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: an issue if the front four is not getting it

1146
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: done with the pass rush. But even against the Giants

1147
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: last week, their pass rush against the Giants at the

1148
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: front four was actually pretty good. You know what, you're

1149
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: seeing a lot. But when they started to get when

1150
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: they started to bother Danny Jones Moore is when they

1151
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: started to send an extra rusher, so they'd send five

1152
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: guys more in the second half, and that seemed to

1153
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: work for them. But yes, ideally any coach will tell

1154
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: you as you know that you want it with the

1155
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: front four, especially when you have that much invested in

1156
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: that group. And against the Chargers in the first game

1157
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: they weren't winning one on ones. The Charger line was

1158
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: really good and held them back. Chase Young and Montes

1159
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: sweat Um they you've seen what you've seen Chris too,

1160
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: are a lot of play action passes slowing the pass rush.

1161
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: You see a little bit more double teams and chipping

1162
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: I think on the ends, although Chase Young got that

1163
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: a lot last year, but I think you see some

1164
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: more of that, So I think you know there's their

1165
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: teams are really trying to plan to stop that front four.

1166
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: So yes, this back seven has got to come through.

1167
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: And I think where the issues sometimes come about are

1168
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: that with the back as much the run fits, the

1169
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: gap fits, and you'll see guys getting out of the gap.

1170
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: And when I watched Buffalo's defense, it looks like those

1171
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: linebackers do a pretty good job fitting in the gaps

1172
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: and they've been pretty good against the run because of it.

1173
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: And you'll see here or that every big run comes

1174
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: off a blown assignment, whether it's landing Collins against the

1175
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: zone read look or a linebacker not fitting right in

1176
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: a run where Barkley, say Quon Barkley gets forty one yards,

1177
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: it's almost always off a poor gap fit. Talking with

1178
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: Washington Football team beat reporter for ESPN dot Com John

1179
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Kime and flipping it over to the offensive side here, John,

1180
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: a rookie at right tackle in Sam Cosmey, How has

1181
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: that line kind of blended here? Because there were some

1182
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 1: changes from last season. What's it looking like here in

1183
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: the early going? I kind of say up and down

1184
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: because there have been some times where let's start, let's

1185
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: go back in a second, so you have a new

1186
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: right tackle in Sam Cosmy, you have a new left

1187
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: tackle in Charles Leno Junior. And then they also brought

1188
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: back Eric Flowers who is now starting the left guard,

1189
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: so they have three new starters compared to last year.

1190
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: So yes, there's been an adjustment there. Um Cosmi at

1191
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: times will look pretty good in the run game, plays

1192
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: with some power, but then in the past game he

1193
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: kind of gets himself in trouble with some technique issues.

1194
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: You'll see him lowering his head a little bit too

1195
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: much and maybe bending at the waist a little bit

1196
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: too much, so guys can take advantage of that. M

1197
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: Leno has been he's been At times, he's been fine.

1198
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: He's been professional as a you know, just a he's

1199
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: a professional right left tackle. But he also will give

1200
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: up some pressure the inside at times too, and you know,

1201
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: he's not a perfect tackle. So I think I think

1202
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: it's still a line that is um I guess finding

1203
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: its way for lack of a better phrase. There are

1204
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: times in the run game I think it's been pretty good.

1205
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I thought they ran the ball well against the Chargers,

1206
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: as Dallas did as well, so you know, I think

1207
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: they I think they're certainly room for improvement. I always

1208
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: felt like this line had more depth than a year ago.

1209
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: But what you didn't know is if the front, if

1210
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: they would be better than a year ago. And I

1211
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: think that still remains to be seen. And then Terry McLaurin,

1212
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm just curious about how matchups have gone with him

1213
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: through the first couple of weeks because we've got, you know,

1214
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: a corner here, a number one corner in Trudavious White,

1215
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: who earlier in his career would be asked to travel

1216
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: with true number one threats on occasion. They've done that

1217
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: less and less with each passing year for him, as

1218
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the defense has kind of been strengthened

1219
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: around him. How much have you seen opponents have maybe

1220
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: number one corners travel with Terry McLaurin. This isn't a

1221
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 1: defense that plays a lot of man. They're a zone

1222
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: defense at its core, but when they do go man,

1223
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like McLaurin, how much does he find

1224
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: a number one corner traveling with him? You see it

1225
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I apologize for my dog bark.

1226
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: That's fine. I got to myself, no worries, but yeah,

1227
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: you see it, You see it. A little bit, but

1228
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: they moved and around a lot, so it's not always

1229
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: a major issue. But you do certainly see teams trying

1230
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: to take him, whether it's with some bracket coverage or whatever.

1231
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: And I think they hope that by drafting a guy

1232
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: like Dammy Brown in the third round and then Simmy

1233
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel who has yet to play, that that would

1234
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: offset some of that. He remains a target, so I think,

1235
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: like even last week, you saw them do make a

1236
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: concerted effort early in the game to get him more

1237
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: involved than he was in the opener, certainly in the

1238
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: first half. So you know, I think it just depends

1239
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: on the matchup. I don't you know. The Giants don't

1240
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: tend to rotate guys like that a lot. They played

1241
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: a lot of zone too, so I just think it

1242
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: depends on the corner as well. And then Logan Thomas

1243
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: is obviously a great story. He began his transition to

1244
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: tight end here in Buffalo before making his way down

1245
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: to Washington, and really I don't have to tell you this,

1246
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: but had a breakout season last year. What is how

1247
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: do they you him? Is it strictly just as a

1248
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: detached pass catching option or do they ask him to

1249
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: do a little bit more than that. Well, it's I mean,

1250
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: he'll you know, you're talking about blocking. He's got a

1251
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: block He's he's an okay, he's an okay blocker. At

1252
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the times he's gotten better, I think, you know, is

1253
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: coming over from quarterback. I think that's still something that

1254
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: you get used to the past. Game is a lot

1255
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: easier for him. He uses his size very well, and

1256
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: you'll see like he doesn't always create a lot of separation.

1257
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: He's not a burner or anything like that. He's not

1258
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: like how Jordan Reed was back here a few years ago,

1259
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: where he can just shake guys and get open. He

1260
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,439
Speaker 1: uses his size a lot, and he uses it very well.

1261
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times there's more a little

1262
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: bit more subtlety to his game than there is just

1263
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: outright wow. You know you're not going to see this

1264
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: flash from him. But but yeah, they use him as

1265
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 1: a blocker. They have to because in that run game,

1266
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: if he's not blocking, well, I don't think they're going

1267
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: to run the ball. Well. So you know that that

1268
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: is a part of his game. So and then we've

1269
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: gotten about eight nine minutes into this and we haven't

1270
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: even talked about Taylor Heineck. Yet I know some Bills

1271
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: fans will be disappointed that it's not Ryan Fitzpatrick playing.

1272
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: He's still beloved up here. But Heineck is almost like

1273
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: a mini fits in a way. He's a little bit shorter,

1274
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: I know, But I guess what I'm getting at is

1275
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's not afraid to sling the ball around,

1276
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: and it looks like the offensive staff has the confidence

1277
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: to let him do that. The thing that struck me

1278
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: watching some of last week's game against the Giants was

1279
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: they gave him a ton of time in the pocket,

1280
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: and if you do that, he can beat you. So

1281
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: what's to be said about him? I know he was

1282
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: under more pressure in the playoff game last year against

1283
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and still played well. So what is your

1284
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: assessment of what he can be for this offense? No One,

1285
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: he's going to be playing for the next several weeks. Yeah,

1286
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that's in his favor, one

1287
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: of the primary thing in his favor is how familiar

1288
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: is with this offense. Is really the only offense he's

1289
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: been in since he's been in the NFL for the

1290
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: most part, or he's been he's been with a He's

1291
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: was indoctrinated in the in the Turner offense back in

1292
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota when he came out of college. So he's been

1293
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: in this offense in some way for about six years,

1294
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: so he's known it for that long. That really helps him.

1295
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: I think you can see that. You saw that right

1296
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: away last year when he came in and he replaced

1297
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins last year in a game late in the year,

1298
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: and the difference in how they ran it was unbelievable

1299
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: for a guy who had just gotten here. It was

1300
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: eye opening. But a lot of it stems from his

1301
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Some of the scent from from Dwayne Haskins not being ready,

1302
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: but a big part stents from his from Heineke's familiarity

1303
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 1: and confidence in that offense. So yeah, I think even

1304
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: compared to Fitzpatrick, he was deeper in the playbook than

1305
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick was because of that familiarity. So what they what

1306
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: he's what he does pretty well as he does go

1307
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: through his progressions and if you watched the Giants game,

1308
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: the game when he touchdown passed to Ricky Seals Jones

1309
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: or the game the go ahead touchdown passed to him,

1310
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: that was his third option, and I think one of

1311
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: the things that was impressive with that was and they

1312
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: always talk about his poison. I think that poise reflected

1313
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: it on that But also he could have run on

1314
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: that play. And his legs are a big part of

1315
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: his game. But in the first two games, it's not

1316
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: like he's running around wild and just trying to make

1317
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: plays like that. He made a concerted effort to become

1318
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,919
Speaker 1: a little bit better, to become better in the pocket.

1319
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: And I think he saw that play because he could

1320
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: have run in the play. There was an opening for

1321
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: him to take it and get seven or eight yards

1322
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: and get to the next play, but instead he took

1323
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: advantage of what he considered a mismatch because the size

1324
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: and all that, and it worked out. So, you know,

1325
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: you see that he doesn't have a great arms. He's

1326
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: not a big guy. He's only I think he's two

1327
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty more muscle on his body than there

1328
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: was last year and probably then in the past. But

1329
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: you know that's the durability is a concern. Again, not

1330
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 1: a big arm, but he makes up for it by

1331
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: when he's able to anticipate throws well, right, So he

1332
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: does have something to offer but he's you know, there's

1333
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: a reason he was in the league for a couple

1334
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: of years. And again, you look at him, he's not

1335
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 1: going to overwhelm you with his physical stature. He's not

1336
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: gonna wow you with his arm. But he's a guy

1337
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: that needs to be on the field showing you what

1338
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 1: he can do and then how players react to him,

1339
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: which is something that again too has been eye opening.

1340
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Last one I've got for you, John is concerning the

1341
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: University at Buffalo product Jared Patterson makes the roster as

1342
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie. Is there any chance he's even up

1343
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: and active? Has he been active the first couple of

1344
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 1: weeks here? What kind of role, if any, could we

1345
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: anticipate for him? Obviously Gibson, you know, the shoulder or whatever,

1346
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: But what are we looking at for for Jared Patterson

1347
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 1: going forward? He is, he's been up. He's their third

1348
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,639
Speaker 1: running back, so they need him up and he's been.

1349
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,719
Speaker 1: He got a few carries in the opener, um plays

1350
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: a lot on plays more on special teams, like in

1351
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: punt you know, in punt coverage and all that. You know. Um,

1352
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: So that's been his role so far. If there's anything

1353
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: with Gibson, they'll they'll give him some staff. They also

1354
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: have JD. McKissick, whom they absolutely love. So it's going

1355
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: to be hard for Jared to get some snaps right away.

1356
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: But he definitely impressed them. And then you know, for

1357
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: people who watch him in college are probably saying, well,

1358
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 1: no kidding, but you know, again, just like Heineke, you're

1359
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: looking at a guy that's under sized and people are

1360
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: going to give him you know, because of that, people

1361
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: aren't going to gravitate to him as far as a

1362
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: team in drafting or anything like that. But when you

1363
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: watch him play, you know he has a has really

1364
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: good vision through the hole, and he has jump cuts well,

1365
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: and um he's a tough runner. He has natural instincts

1366
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: as a running back. So at some point I would

1367
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: think he'll get some more chances, but that's really going

1368
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: to be dependent on the health of Gibson and j D. McKissick. So, um,

1369
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that he impressed them, and it's

1370
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of an amazing story. Um so. And and

1371
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: he's he's fun. He's fun to watch because he does

1372
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: run with some passion and and I think again the

1373
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: fans in buff he probably know that very well. They

1374
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: certainly do. Washington Football Team Beat Reporter John Kime, Thanks

1380
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: ESPN Washington Football Team beat reporter. We have to take

1381
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: a break, but we'll be back with more here on

1382
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kelli to help. It's Buffalo

1383
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bills Live.

1384
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Chris Brown with Hall of Famers Tournament thomasin for Steve Tasker,

1385
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: and we wanted to get back to your thoughts on

1386
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,560
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet where we were asking you today what

1387
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: we'll play the biggest role in a Bill's win over

1388
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: Washington on Sunday. And Nate says, Washington has a good

1389
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: defense that hasn't played to its full potential yet. That

1390
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent true. Buffalo has a splendid offense

1391
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: that had and played up to its potential yet. I'm

1392
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: excited for this game. Also, you can't sleep on Heineke.

1393
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: He's quick and can make plays. Did you catch Heineke's

1394
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 1: performance against the Bucks in the playoffs last year the

1395
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: wild card playoff game when Washington played at Tampa. Threw

1396
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: for over three hundred yards in that game. Yeah, he

1397
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: was lucky. Yeah. The only thing I remember about that

1398
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 1: game is the game after Washington one Chief's young going

1399
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: into the locker room saying, I can't wait for Tom Brady. Yeah.

1400
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:33,719
Speaker 1: I don't even remember the game. Man, those are great stats.

1401
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: But hey, look I yes, um, it's gonna be Yeah.

1402
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean watching this defense is ready to go, but

1403
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 1: so's our offense. Yeah. I think with us being at

1404
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: home this week for the next two weeks, Yeah, I

1405
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: don't my opinion, I don't even think it's gonna be close. Yeah.

1406
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 1: Bumped that record up to three and one and absolutely

1407
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 1: out of the first quarter of the season exactly like

1408
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 1: Martha should say, win the month. Yeah, if you can

1409
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: get out of here three and one, that's perfect. But

1410
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 1: I don't think it could be close for a little bit.

1411
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 1: But I think our defense is playing really lights out

1412
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: right now. And Sean Sean McDermot has the d line

1413
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: that he wants right now, they're getting they're splitting them

1414
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: reps up. I mean, the guys are getting to the

1415
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,919
Speaker 1: pass rusher. I mean, it's uh, it's it's a defense

1416
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: that is very solid. They were picking on Levi Wallace

1417
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: last weekend. All of a sudden, he comes up with

1418
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,560
Speaker 1: a pick. Yeah. And and I don't know if you

1419
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: heard Jordan Poyer talking yesterday, but he said Levi actually

1420
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: bailed him out on that play. So Poyer I think

1421
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: had the deep middle on that play, but he bit

1422
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: on a on a fake quarterback sneak by Brissette or

1423
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: something on the play, he said. And so Levi dropped

1424
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,480
Speaker 1: to get the deep man, left his man underneath uncovered,

1425
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: and then once he saw Brissette go to the underneath man,

1426
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 1: he jumped the route right yeah, and made the pick.

1427
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 1: And that's why Payer's talking about. He's like, you just

1428
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: bailed me out, right because he bit on the playfing Yeah.

1429
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, this defense is playing really well

1430
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: right now. I know it's only two games right now,

1431
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: but you know the way they're performing right now. I mean,

1432
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: to be honest, we shouldn't be too and though, well

1433
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: yeah we should be too. It though, but if this

1434
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: defense can play like this from now all the way

1435
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: to the end. I think we still could have one

1436
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 1: of the best records in football. Yeah, and they look

1437
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: more like the twenty nineteen defense, don't they. Yes, they do. Yes,

1438
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 1: they do. A lot more guys out there making a

1439
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 1: lot of plays who probably with a better pass rush

1440
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: than they had in twenty nineteen, a better pass for rush.

1441
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: And you're seeing Edmund's really, you know, be the linebacker

1442
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 1: because you have Ed Oliver, you have Harrison Philip, you

1443
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 1: have Star right there. Those guys make a difference. And

1444
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: I remember when people were talking about Tremaine about he's

1445
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 1: not the guy. Well, if you don't have those front

1446
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: two guys right there, you're not going to be the guy.

1447
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: Luke Keikley same thing. Yeah, he had Kawan Short and

1448
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Star exactly, and those guys were bringing it every single place.

1449
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: So that freed him up to do a lot of

1450
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: different things. And you go back to guys like ray

1451
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: Lewis Naga and a couple of years, those two guys

1452
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: right there in the middle, they helped the linebacker tremendously,

1453
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: And I think that's what you're seeing there from Tumaine. Now,

1454
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: that's the way he's playing in Mulatto. I mean, he

1455
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: just he's everywhere. He is a juice player, isn't he

1456
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: Like he's just he's believable. Yeah. I think I think

1457
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 1: he gives that whole defensive unit juice because he is

1458
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 1: so he's such an intense player. Yeah. Um and what

1459
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and his his role in the past rush last week

1460
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 1: was pretty impressive, Like they were bringing him on delays

1461
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: and then they were dropping Rousseau out and rushing him

1462
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: and Tay Brissette neither of him knew what the hell

1463
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: was going on there. And I think, like I said, yeah,

1464
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott has it together right now. There's a great

1465
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 1: game called by coach Frasier. Absolutely Veto on the tweet

1466
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: sheets says, oh line controlling the line of scrimmage in

1467
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: general allows the run to set up the pass. Hopefully

1468
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: that gets Josh into his rhythm, starting with some short

1469
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: underneath passing. We talked about that, and Eli says Dable

1470
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:18,720
Speaker 1: and his play calling will be the most important part

1471
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: of the game. The defense will be good against the

1472
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: Washington offense, but Dable and his play calls is what

1473
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: concerns me. I think we'll win, but I hope to

1474
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: see some good play calls. I gotta be the first

1475
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: to tell you. The players themselves on offense have said

1476
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:37,600
Speaker 1: it's not about Dable's play calls, it's about our exec Yeah. Absolutely,

1477
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 1: I totally agree with what you're just saying right there.

1478
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,839
Speaker 1: There's been some great play calls. We just haven't executed

1479
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: on a lot of plays. That's been our fault. Yeah.

1480
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,720
Speaker 1: So I mean he's throwing the plays out there what

1481
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: the players want, and we just haven't been executing them

1482
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: the first couple of games, and that's why our offense

1483
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: is struggling. And I agree with you. I think the

1484
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 1: run game, you know, it can work out either way.

1485
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: Run game up a pass game in the past game,

1486
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: but right now I think the running game is really

1487
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: important because we're waiting on Josh too to have that

1488
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: game that we're used to seeing in the last couple

1489
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: of years. We're used to seeing him having three close

1490
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,639
Speaker 1: to three hundred yards in the first half. It happened

1491
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: a couple of It happened a couple of times, right,

1492
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 1: so we're used to We're we're kind of like on

1493
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 1: that level now of wanting him to be that guy.

1494
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 1: But I think with the running game, and I think

1495
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: they have to stick with a little bit this week.

1496
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 1: I think they do to kind of keep that pass

1497
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 1: rush at Bay right, Yeah, absolutely, yeah, you know, I

1498
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: mean don't let that like because that week one we

1499
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: went empty backfield thirteen times. Yeah, and Pittsburgh's like, all right,

1500
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 1: we don't know, it's a pass here we come. You know.

1501
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: So last week last week, with that balance, it really

1502
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 1: kind of held up you know, Miami being aggressive or anything,

1503
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: not that they really have been the edge guys on

1504
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:55,600
Speaker 1: that roster. Anyway, this team does Chase Young like that

1505
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 1: guy's the real deal. Montes sweat, he can get around.

1506
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: He can with those two as guys like that, and

1507
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna be coming for Josh Allen. Yeah, I might

1508
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: see a couple of drawers of screens in there. Well yeah,

1509
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to say yes, then here's my concern and

1510
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: you could speak to this. So I watched Dabo try

1511
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 1: to call some screenplays in the preseason and they didn't

1512
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,759
Speaker 1: look good. I think the only screens that this team

1513
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: can run are receiver screens out wide with bigger receivers

1514
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: to block in front, you know, like Kumero and Gabe.

1515
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: Those guys are big receivers can block, you know, on

1516
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 1: a receiver screen to Digs or Beasley or somebody like that.

1517
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: But those those classic screens, the running back screens. I

1518
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 1: don't know if they've got the guards that can get

1519
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: out and move Morse can move worse, can get out

1520
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: in front and lead a convoy. You know, they got

1521
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: big drive blocking guards. I don't know if they got

1522
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: guys that can get out. Okay, okay, if they can't,

1523
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 1: if they can't get out on the flat or whatever,

1524
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: just run a middle screen. Okay, there you heard it.

1525
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: They heard it all Famer at middle screen. Dial it up. Well,

1526
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: we'll get you on speed dial with coach Dable. We'll

1527
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: see if we can help him out with that. Jason

1528
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says Heineck doesn't know what's about

1529
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: to hit him. Last week was one of the most

1530
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 1: dominant defensive line performances I've seen from the Bills. If

1531
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,719
Speaker 1: Heinek isn't able to get the ball out quick, he's

1532
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: going to take a beating. Now. I will say this

1533
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: Therm I watched. I didn't watch the whole game against

1534
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: the Giants last week by Washington, but I will say this,

1535
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: Heineke had a lot of time to sit in that

1536
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: pocket last week, so it wasn't surprising to me that

1537
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: he completed seventy four percent of his passes for three

1538
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven yards. He had all day back there,

1539
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: all day right there. But I don't know. I mean,

1540
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 1: it's they. They gotta get to him, give him off

1541
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: his spot. You have to get to him. Yeah, you

1542
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: have to let him be aware that you were there.

1543
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 1: And that's what Bruce hallways to say. Yeah, let him

1544
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 1: know that you were aware. I may not sack him,

1545
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: but if I get a couple of hits on him,

1546
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm very very close, and he's gonna remember that, so

1547
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: it'll be good. I mean, hey, look our offensive line

1548
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: against their D line, our offensive line again, it's gonna

1549
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: be a matchup. Is gone gonna be one upfront like

1550
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: always and uh yeah, but I do think the Bills

1551
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: come up victorious. Yes, And I mean Heinichy does have

1552
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: some mobility. He is known as a guy that will

1553
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 1: use his legs when necessary. So I don't know that

1554
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: the pass rush can be reckless. Yeah, you gotta watch

1555
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: and stay in those rush lanes because the last thing

1556
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 1: you want is going by him. And then he just

1557
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 1: tucks under and you got a wide open space out

1558
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: to the flank there. Because that's the that's the discipline.

1559
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: The rushers maybe have to have a little bit more

1560
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, and with Roethlisberger and we haven't saw

1561
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: that yet. Yeah, we haven't saw that type of quarterback

1562
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 1: in the system this year for the first two games,

1563
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: and now we're going to see a guy who can scramble. Yeah,

1564
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 1: it could make a big difference. Last one on the

1565
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Chris. I think that Alan has a

1566
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: better game in this one and he shuts down all

1567
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: the naysayers. He proves that he is worth the big

1568
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 1: money he was given. It's a week to week league,

1569
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: and one bad game doesn't define you. I hope he

1570
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 1: gets back to his twenty twenty. Josh Allen for him,

1571
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: Let's go Bills. I don't think he's been bad, No, No,

1572
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: he's just he's just been a little off, a little

1573
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 1: a little off. And now you know, I know people

1574
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 1: are gonna look at his completion percentage, which through two

1575
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 1: games is fifty six percent, and they're like, oh my god,

1576
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:16,639
Speaker 1: he's bad. That's what we're seeing when we're draft him.

1577
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: I think you just give it a little time. I

1578
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 1: think it's gonna come around and he'll be good. So

1579
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: we'll see how the game plan unfolds this. Like I said,

1580
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, just come out in the first couple of series, man,

1581
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: and hit those hitch routes y percentage plays and you know,

1582
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: let him do his thing, man, scramble whatever. Man, he's hey,

1583
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: look the guy finished one second in the MVP last year. Yeah,

1584
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,559
Speaker 1: come on, don't don't be saying that doesn't just go away. Yeah,

1585
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:46,759
Speaker 1: it doesn't just go away. People know that for a reason.

1586
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: And he was kind of the odds on favor to

1587
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,799
Speaker 1: win the MVP this year and some of the polls

1588
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: that I saw. So let's not day he's our quarterback

1589
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: here for the next ten years. Yeah, for the next

1590
01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: ten year. Let's not based this on two games. Not

1591
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 1: only that. Like, as we've said, he's his own worst critic,

1592
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 1: so you know, he's working, you know, tooth and nail

1593
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 1: to kind of nail down some of the things he's

1594
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: not happy with, which are probably some of the same

1595
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: things that fans are wondering about. He'll get it sorted out,

1596
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: I would get Yeah, I mean, you don't you don't

1597
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 1: you don't give out two hundred and fifty million dollar contracts.

1598
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,879
Speaker 1: I think that he's not going to figure it out. Yeah,

1599
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: he's going to figure it out. Yeah. So that is

1600
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,679
Speaker 1: the your thoughts on the tweet, cheet, thanks for sending

1601
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:27,679
Speaker 1: all of those in. We want to turn now though

1602
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,799
Speaker 1: to a little NFL true false alright, NFL true false,

1603
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,759
Speaker 1: brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese.

1604
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:39,759
Speaker 1: So Thurman first up on NFL. True false. John Gruden

1605
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:43,640
Speaker 1: and the Raiders have finally figured it out after a

1606
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: two and oh start. True or false. That's false. That's fit.

1607
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: That's I'm going, oh wow, yeah, definitive false. Yeah, that's

1608
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,680
Speaker 1: false right there. I mean this is classic kind of

1609
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: John Gruten, Okay, getting off to a start like this,

1610
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: feeling comfortable about everything, okay, and then goes into the tape.

1611
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: They could they could start off three and all, well, yeah,

1612
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: they got the Dolphins. I guarantee you they'll finish nine

1613
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: and eight, nine and eight, nine and eight. Guys, we

1614
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 1: gotta put that down on the whiteboard. Go get Steve's whiteboard.

1615
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: Put down. Thurman says Raiders will be nine and eight

1616
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, nine and eight. I am gonna

1617
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: I am gonna be keeping a close eye on that.

1618
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 1: See if you're right. I do kind of tend to

1619
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: think they're still in that pretender category. The thing about

1620
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: John Gruden, just watching him over the years, I just

1621
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: don't feel like his coaching staff sweats the details, right, Um,

1622
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: I think this game is more scripted and detail oriented

1623
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 1: than it's ever been, with analytics coming in and all

1624
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: of that stuff. Um, I just don't feel like Gruden

1625
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: and his staff sweats the details. We've seen clock mismanagement

1626
01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:00,679
Speaker 1: by his staff. At how about that about that first

1627
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: overtime game, So they come out, it's overtime. Like once,

1628
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: I say it, I don't watch a lot of football.

1629
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: So here's what happened. So it's overtime and the Raiders

1630
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:15,799
Speaker 1: are in field goal range and it's first and ten,

1631
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: and Gruden decides, us, screw it, We're just gonna throw

1632
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:20,640
Speaker 1: the kicking unit on. We're gonna end it here. We're

1633
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna kick it on first and ten. So offense comes off,

1634
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 1: special teams unit comes out. They tell everybody we're kicking

1635
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 1: it except the kicker. Daniel Carlson's still on the sideline.

1636
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: He doesn't get out on the field until ten seconds

1637
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: left in the play clock. So I don't know if

1638
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 1: you've seen Peyton and Eli Manning yet. Have you seen guys?

1639
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: So Monday night football, they got a little ESPN two.

1640
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: They're kind of talking through the game, just like sitting

1641
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: around like a bunch of buddies watching a game. They're

1642
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 1: watching this unfold. Peyton Manning is about to have a

1643
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: heart attack with the lack of execution here. He's like,

1644
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: oh my god. And Eli is going, holy cow. There's

1645
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 1: ten seconds on the play clock. They're gonna have to

1646
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 1: call the time and they're gonna ce the their own kicker.

1647
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: So what happens. They don't call time out because they

1648
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 1: don't have any left. They take delay of game. They

1649
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 1: take a delay of game. So now they move it

1650
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 1: back five yards. So now what happens. They gotta bring

1651
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: their offense back out on the field because it's still

1652
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: first down. So they bring their offense back out on

1653
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 1: the field. And they lucked into this. But they ran

1654
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: a play, Like I think the defense for the other

1655
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 1: team didn't think they were gonna run a play. They

1656
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 1: thought they were just gonna run a simple inside hand

1657
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 1: I'll try to get the yards back and then come

1658
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 1: on and kill it next to No, they run a

1659
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 1: play fake and Zay Jones is wide open. Here's the

1660
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: play day Jones is wide open for the game winning

1661
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:46,640
Speaker 1: play in overtime. So their clock mismanagement and lack of

1662
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 1: communication on the sideline turns into a game winning overtime touchdown.

1663
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: They locked into that. They lucked into that. So I

1664
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: agree with you, false, they are pretenders after did I

1665
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: just saw right there David Carr running down the field

1666
01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: and he was holding up two? What were he trying

1667
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 1: to go for two? Or? No, game's over, it's over time.

1668
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: You don't even need to do it. Why is he

1669
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 1: doing that? Is he saying the two? Or that was

1670
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:12,560
Speaker 1: the first game of the season. Oh, that was the

1671
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: first game of the season. So they lucked into all

1672
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:18,679
Speaker 1: that mismanagement with the clock, and they mismanaged the clock

1673
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 1: when they played the Dolphins last year. Do you remember

1674
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 1: that the field goal enoft enough time for Fits to

1675
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: come on and go win the game. Terrible, So I

1676
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 1: agree with you, false, they are not They didn't have

1677
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 1: it all right? True. False Number two. Ben Roethlisberger is

1678
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: capping the Steelers potential. What do we think about that?

1679
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: Do you think he's holding back the Steelers because of

1680
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 1: his limitations as a thirty nine year old quarterback. Now

1681
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: for that, I will say true, Okay, I will say true.

1682
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 1: Can't throw it deep end, he can't throw it deep anymore.

1683
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean that was and that was evident last year. Well, yeah,

1684
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: that he couldn't throw the ball deep last year until

1685
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: coming into this year. I think he took a bait

1686
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 1: cut ye to help some some of the other guys

1687
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 1: on the team. But yeah, I just think you know,

1688
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 1: there comes a time when you have to say enough

1689
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: is enough. And I think Ben should have realized that

1690
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, I don't think he should be playing

1691
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: this year. You can tell that the arm is it's

1692
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 1: just not there. It's just not there. And they got

1693
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: some I mean trying to throw, trying to throw to

1694
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 1: James Washington, who's a speed guy down the field. Probably

1695
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 1: haven't did that yet. The other guy, Chase Claypool. Chase

1696
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 1: Claypool down the field. You haven't seen that. I mean,

1697
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 1: is it Mason Rudolph? How about that one week one

1698
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:34,640
Speaker 1: dawn the sideline here to Claypool when he made that

1699
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 1: fantastic yeah, I think he's wobbling. He's heated from his hip.

1700
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 1: He looked like Bernie Kozar trying to throw that thing.

1701
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: So yes, I will say true too. That is NFL

1702
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:47,719
Speaker 1: True False presented by Yancy's Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese.
