63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: to be on the show. He was on Super Bowl

64
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: twenty one for the Giants super Bowl twenty five. I

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: played against him there, and you know what I didn't realize.

66
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: I played against him in college. He was at Michigan State.

67
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: We're the same, a same vintage. He came out a

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: year ahead of me. I read shirted a year Michigan State.

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: I remember as a college I went to Northwestern, of course,

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, and I do know that we were oh

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: and thirty one when I arrived, went to quick o

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: and thirty four before we finally won a game. But

73
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Michigan State was the first team that Northwestern beat as

74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: a road, big ten victory in over a decade. Were

75
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: you there? We did it. I was on the field.

76
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: I actually didn't finish the game. I got a twisted

77
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: ankle and we wanted on a quarterback throwback last play

78
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: we beat. I wonder if he remembers that. I better

79
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: not bring that up ask him. I guess I can

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: knew it over the phone. Yeah, yeah, maybe I will.

81
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: He was a really good player. He was a really

82
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: good He was the third overall pick of the nineteen

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: eighty four NFL draft, played for the Giants most of

84
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: his career, then finished up with the Skins and the Browns,

85
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: all eighties decade team. What a players. Impressive and yet

86
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: he was not the famous linebacker on his own team,

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: right right? Is there is there? Ever? Is there a

88
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: better example of a guy getting overshadowed by a teammate.

89
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: LT was on that team, Lawrence Taylor LT was his teammate,

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: so nobody talked to him much about Carl Banks. You

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: knew he was good, and it was all decade in

92
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, but it was all LT back then, right, Yeah,

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: you remember playing again? He was good? Right? Yeah? They

94
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: were well Listen, they went to two Super Bowls and

95
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: won both of them for a good reason. I mean

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: they were they were stacked with talent. They were really good,

97
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: and uh, Carl Banks was a big part of it. Yeah,

98
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: big tall, lanky dude, you know, could really run all

99
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: those guys. I mean they were stacked. One game and

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: the Bills and Giants don't have a glorious history, at

101
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: least from the Buffalo perspective of the Super Bowl of

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty five. But I want to ask you

103
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: about one game. I want to and we didn't talk

104
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: about this beforehand. We never talked about the show. That's

105
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: very same season, Bills at the Giants in the old

106
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: Giants Stadium Saturday afternoon in the medal ends. And the

107
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: Bills won that game, right, yeah, seventeen thirteen. What do

108
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: you remember about that one? Because they had to give you,

109
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: guys going to the Super Bowl a month later. I

110
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: had to make you feel like, well, I think we were.

111
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: I think we were eleven and two, and so were they.

112
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: It was a big game, yeah, And it was an

113
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: enormous regular season game because we felt as an AFC team,

114
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: it was our first real, you know, bounce back. We

115
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: had an eighty. We were in the playoffs of two

116
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: years before that. But that game late in the season

117
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: was a huge measuring stick for our squad. It was

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: December fifteenth. You're right, you both winning eleven and two.

119
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: The Bills wanted seventeen thirteen, and it was a good game.

120
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that Sims got the Sims got hurt.

121
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: So did Jim. Yeah, So listen, we we go in

122
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: there and I'm telling you, we knew we were up

123
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: against it. In their building, that team was rolling. We

124
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: didn't know we're going to meet him in the Super

125
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: Bowl four or five weeks later. I have never said

126
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: we had ted. You know, Marv was our head coach,

127
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: Teddy Marcher, Broto, you know, Chuck Lester, Walt Corey, you

128
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: know Nick Nikolau with these old guys on Our coaching

129
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: staff was a bunch of veteran guys. And we went

130
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: into the Meadowlands on that day, lost our quarterback, Jim

131
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: put their quarterback out and Phil and when we won

132
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: that game, it was the happiest locker room I ever

133
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: remember being a part of. Even even more so than

134
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: the championship games. We won the four championship games. We

135
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: won that locker room in that moment when we beat

136
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: the New York Giants in the Meadowlands in that regular

137
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: season before we went to our first Super Bowl, was

138
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: when we proved it to ourselves that we were good.

139
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: I remember the coaching. It was the coaching staff that

140
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: did it for me. The coaches were over the top. Man,

141
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: they were so stoked that we beat those guys because

142
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: they knew it's Bill Belichick, Tom Coughlin, Bill Parcels was

143
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the head coach, and all those guys on that on

144
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: that side of the coaching and we beat those guys

145
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: that even our coaches, man, were really thrilled with that win.

146
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: Our players, it was. It was a big moment for

147
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: that franchise, and I think it is one of the

148
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: things that really proved to us that man, we had

149
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: a chance to be really good. So that he may

150
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: not remember this. I remember telling Vic Carucci during the

151
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: week leading up to that game. I said, Vic, if

152
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: we beat these guys in that building, there's no stopping us.

153
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: There's no stopping us. And it was a big It

154
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: was a great win. Carl Banks was a member of

155
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: that team. He's gonna be on with us later. That's yeah,

156
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: that was a big win for us. I got one more,

157
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: the biggest regular season win of my career. One more

158
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Bills Giants. And they've only played twelve times of the

159
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: regular season, one super Bowl game and they're tied at

160
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: six one apiece. But there was a game here in

161
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo and you weren't playing. This is just two thousand

162
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: and seven. I'm looking it up here. December twenty third,

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. The Bills and the Giants, and

164
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: the Bills are crushing the Giants early on. They're up

165
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: fourteen to nothing. The Bills did not have a great year.

166
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Up fourteen to nothing in the first quarter at halftime.

167
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: The Giants came back in the second quarter. There was

168
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: a point in that game where it looked like the

169
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: Giants were done. Steve, I mean done, and I'm talking

170
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: about everybody done, the coaching staff, Eli Manning. This is

171
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: oh seven. So it was twelve years ago, and the

172
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: Giants came back and they won it big. But you

173
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: remember this game. It was nine, it was thirty eight

174
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: twenty one final score. Giants bounced back to beat the

175
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: Bills here in Orchard Park. And it was a kind

176
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: of game where the Giants Tom Coughlin game, Yes, and

177
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: that their season was on the precipice. The Giants two

178
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: thousand and seven season. They went on to win the

179
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Yes they did. They beat the perfect the Patriots. Yeah,

180
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: but they were in trouble here in Buffalo on December

181
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: twenty third. That had to be yeah, it had to

182
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: be Tom Coughlin then, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, wow. And

183
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: at the point where the Bills are up fourteen to nothing.

184
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: I recall thinking this is it for the Giants. Eli's gone,

185
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: Coughlin's probably gone, They're gonna break this whole thing up. No,

186
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: they came back from down fourteen and nothing, beat the

187
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: Bills and went on to win the Super Bowl. It

188
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: was an amazing game, amazing game. But that's history history

189
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: coming up this week. Think about what other infamous game

190
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Giants' strike game. Let's remember that.

191
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Remember that broadcast you want to talk about it, you

192
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: want to talk about a low point of where were

193
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: you for football history? Or I might have been in

194
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: the parking lot with kicking. I was in a broadcast

195
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: with with Van doing the game. Terrible game, terrible game.

196
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: That was when LT was on the field for that. Yeah,

197
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: and he was. He was a wrecking crew sixty three

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: final the Bills beat and some even the kicker the team, Yeah,

199
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: those guys, those guys Slope. Is that the guy's name

200
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: the kicker? Yeah, Jenny miss One and I can't remember,

201
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, terrible game. Who Bills One's part of

202
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: the series were tied at those counts. Unfortunately it counts,

203
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't there You go. We gotta kind of an

204
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: important game here. I think the Bills would love to

205
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: get off to a two and I start. I was

206
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: surprised to come across this little tidbit today, Steve, do

207
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: you realize the Bills in franchise history? Where is it?

208
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: Where is it? Where is it? They're looking to become

209
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: the It's with a second executive win on the road Sunday,

210
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: the Bills could open their season with back to back

211
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: road wins for the first time in team history. First

212
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: time they've opened the season with two straight wins on

213
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: the road. Have they gone to the same place back

214
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: to back weeks? No, this is the first time. We

215
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: know that. We've talked about that, but they have opened

216
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: on the road two straight games, and this would be

217
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: the first time in franchise history they would open with

218
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: two straight wins on the road if they get to

219
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: win here. And here's why this is important, Steve. You

220
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: know Friday mornings, I get up early, do a lot

221
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: of research. You realize the Bill Do you realize the

222
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Bills have not had a winning record on the road

223
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety nine, I mean twenty years. The nineteen

224
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: ninety nine Buffalo Bills had a chance to be a

225
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl team, and the home run throwback was, yeah,

226
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: the reason they lost that So last year though, they

227
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: had a better at the end of the year, a

228
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: better record on the road, a better or better one

229
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: loss record on the road. Since then, they've either been

230
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: four and four or had a losing record on the

231
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: road in twenty years. So to get off to a

232
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: two and I'll start doesn't guarantee anything, but it gets

233
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: you going here, right, It gets you going. Two straight

234
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: road wins, one of them against an NFC team. The

235
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: Bills have sort of, you know, cut it in half

236
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: when they played the NFC. Of the last four years,

237
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: they win half, they lose half. But two straight road

238
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: wins to come home with the fourteen games left and

239
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: eight of those fourteen at home, this makes it a

240
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: big game. And I know what I watched the I've

241
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: finished watching last night with how bad the Giants looked

242
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys. But I'm thinking, well, so what the

243
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: coin Giants are going to be that bad this weekend.

244
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: They're not going to be that bad year. The Giants

245
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: are number six overall in the offense in the NFL,

246
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: with the four hundred and seventy yards gained. They can

247
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: move the football, move the ball. Last week, um Quon

248
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: is A is the atomic bomb man. He's A. He's it.

249
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: He's the guy. You gotta stop him. And Eli Manning

250
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: we all know you can. People make fun of him

251
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: for it, but it's an asset. You can't rattle him.

252
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: He's he's like the flat line in the fourth quarter

253
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: of a super Bowl to win it, you can't. His

254
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: nickname is easy, he's his pulse didn't get above seventy

255
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of a super Bowl where he

256
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: was on a fourth and ten. I mean the guy,

257
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna rattle him. So you know you can

258
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: get off that right now. All the you know the

259
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: Twitter guys, Hey, yeah, we're gonna rattle Eli. I got

260
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: we got four sacks last week. We're gonna get it.

261
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna No, you're not gonna The guy's won two

262
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: super Bowls. You just get off that train right now.

263
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to beat him by playing sound, solid defense.

264
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: Get a hand on him, of course, get him to

265
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: the ground, but don't think he's gonna come back and

266
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: not work nowhere to throw the football. Yeah, you better

267
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: take his options away. He knows what he's doing now,

268
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: can he do it? And does he have weapons? That's

269
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: the question right weapons are limited. One he's got se

270
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley and Evan Ingram and after that it's a

271
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: little bid tight. Evan Ingram. Yesterday, wide receiver Cody Latimer

272
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: calf injury became the third Giants wide receiver to miss

273
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: practice this week. Sterling Shepard last we know, still in

274
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Rookie Darius Leeton with a hamstring. So they

275
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: got weapons, who are missing and do they get them

276
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 1: all back? We'll find out. The bills are on the

277
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: practice field right now. Steve and I took a look

278
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: outside and saw Cole Beasley, who did not work yesterday

279
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: because of illness. Looked like Beazy was taking a full

280
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: turn today. We'll get the post practice update coming up.

281
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Also saw Levi Wallace out there, look like he was

282
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: ready to go in practice. We'll see. We'll get an

283
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: update on that when practice ends. Didn't not look like

284
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: there was any work to be done by a return

285
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: specialist Andre Roberts or cornerback Terran Johnson when the same string.

308
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: I supposed to prepare for this? I'm sorry that I

309
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: was told. I think you have T shirts that say

310
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: is not gonna be any homework. That's a T shirt.

311
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: No turn. Yeah, you let me go to is the time?

312
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: I'll go first? You gonna go first? You don't sound

313
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: like you've thought it through yet. Yeah. Sa Quan is

314
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: the key. Handle him. You don't stop him. He's not

315
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna get zero yards. Handle sa Quon Barkley. He's the key.

316
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: One hundred twenty yards on what eleven touches last week?

317
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: He can do it fifty nine yards on his first touch.

318
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: It was an amazing run second play from scrimmage track

319
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: down from the other side of the field by Owoozy,

320
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys cornerback who was clocked at the fastest speed

321
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: on an NFL football field in two years. Give him

322
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: the punchline to Ooozy. What he got tested for peeds? Oh?

323
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: He did. That's because he was running so far they

324
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,479
Speaker 1: checked him from peeds. Sa Quan is the key. Uh,

325
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's great. And he's only in a second year, right,

326
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: He's only gonna play in his a second game of

327
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: his second year. But he's the key. Number one key

328
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: handle sa Quon Barkley number two key. Um, yeah, put

329
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: some pressure on Eli, you know, rattle him. You're not

330
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna spook them, but at least make him uncomfortable. And

331
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: number three, eliminate those turnovers. Right. Look, I think the

332
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense demonstrated last week that they can move the

333
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: football through the air. Now they have they have a

334
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: pretty decent passing attack as of last week. I think

335
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: they'll try to run it a little bit more this week.

336
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: I think, yes, they'll get it in Devin Singletary's hands,

337
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: maybe considerably more than last week, although it might be

338
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: more of a split. But those are my three keys. Handles.

339
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: Sa Quan put a little pressure on Ela so he

340
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: doesn't Eli, so he doesn't settle in, and run your offense,

341
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: which I think could be pretty decent. Don't you do

342
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: those three things? You win? Right? I agree, sa Quan

343
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: is the key, is the top key for me as well.

344
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: He's the focal point for the Buffalo Bills defensively and offensively.

345
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: For me. You gotta keep on keeping on. You gotta

346
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: limit the mistakes you get turnovers. Obviously, you can't do

347
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: what you did last week. Last week, they played much

348
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: better offensively than they're getting credit for because of the

349
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: fact they had the four first half turnovers. They if

350
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: they can show up and do that this week, they're

351
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: going to be in a much better position if they

352
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: can keep from turning the football over. And the last

353
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: one I've got is, I think you gotta take Eli's

354
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: options away on the outside. You know that sa Quan

355
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: is the focal point. It falls to Eli, your secondary.

356
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: I think you gotta put pressure on him. I think

357
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: you gotta put guys in the box to stop say Quon,

358
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: and I got to think you got to ask your

359
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: secondary to play big one on one outside. You gotta

360
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: take those guys away, load the box, dare him to

361
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: throw the football, and dare those guys outside that are

362
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: maybe backups and secondary players are usually number two or

363
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: three guys. You gotta dare them to beat you. Okay,

364
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: So say Quan is the key, right, Quan is the

365
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: top guy. I gotta you gotta load the box against

366
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: sa Quon, dare him to throw the football and cover

367
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: him up outside. I ask you this question that I

368
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: asked the head coach. Who does he remind you of?

369
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: I have had trouble with that all week watching him

370
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: because he's so good and he's kind of built physically

371
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: different than many backs are, you know, a little bit

372
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: taller and stature and certainly you know, big huge legs

373
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: and thighs. But I don't I don't have a comparison

374
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: to you. For Yeah, he's like an extra large Barry

375
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: Sanders kind of guy. You know, he's got he's real thick.

376
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: He's two hundred and forty pounds. There's not many guys

377
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: that we've seen that have his kind of physical, you

378
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: know build. I mean he's a big, thick, heavy guy.

379
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: He looks he runs a little bit like Maurice Jones.

380
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: Drew used to run, you know, a little bowling ball guy.

381
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: But Maurice Jones jews like five. He's a mid five nine.

382
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: Uh say, que's big. He's a Yeah, he's a he's

383
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: a one of a kind. He's one of a kind. Yeah,

384
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: I think so too. I think he's great and I

385
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: can't find a comparison. On Sunday, I'll tell you what

386
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott said his comparison to him. But you know,

387
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: McDermott has said this week he's great and he is

388
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: a challenge. He is the challenge. I think, what do

389
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 1: you think? Give us a call? Full line's open eight

390
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

391
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Want three keys to a

392
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: Bill's win over the Giants. Let's get to the phones.

Speaker 1: on the air, Hi, John and Steve. I just wanted

395
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: to comment on that Giants game you guys were talking

396
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: about early in the show. Which one remember watching that

397
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: game and the game in the Medal Ends nineteen ninety Yeah,

398
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: well Bill Wash was doing the commentary and if I'm

399
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: correctly wrong, if I'm rock Step. Wasn't it raining that day? Yeah,

400
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: it's a little rainy. Bill Walsh was commenting on Bruce

401
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: Smith says Bruce is unstoppable. Bruce has taken over the

402
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: game and gonna win it for the Buffalo Bills. Bruce

403
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: had a big day that day. I recall, Yeah, Phil

404
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: didn't Phil Simps didn't finish the game. Yeah, I don't

405
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: know if that was I can't remember if Bruce had

406
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: anything to do with it, but yeah, Bruce, Bruce was

407
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: the guy that he didn't say LT was going to

408
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: win the game. Right. You know what, I did not

409
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: do games that year. I was not on the broadcast,

410
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: so I went to most games covering for a Channel seven.

411
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: I did not go to that game that Saturday afternoon,

412
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: and I just remembered why, you know why, I was

413
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: doing college ban bsketball Canisius College of Basketball. If they

414
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: were home that night against Duke, Christian Latner and Duke

415
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: came here to the odds stayed home to do that game. Yeah,

416
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: that game. It was pretty cool Buffalo guy coming back. Yeah,

417
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: I get it. It It was cool. That's yeah. I don't

418
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: want to go off. Okay, you got me. I was

419
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: gonna say Duke used to do that. Yeah, they would

420
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: go back to their hometowns of seniors, probably still do. Yeah,

421
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: let's go to Cody and Rochester High. Cody, you're on

422
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: the air with us. Go ahead, Hey, guys, thanks for

423
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 1: taking my call. Sure. I think the I think the

424
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: main keiece of this game is, hey, um, limiting Sequon.

425
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: Obviously we're not going to be able to set him

426
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: down completely, but if we can keep them under our

427
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: under yards rushing, I think we could call that a

428
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: pretty big success. I also think that we need to

429
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: mimic the similar performance like we did last week in

430
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: regards to getting at the quarterback. You know, if we can,

431
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: if we can keep Eli constantly on the run, I

432
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: think that's going to take his throwing game away from,

433
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, where the few targets that he has out

434
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: there that he trusts. And then last but not, I

435
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: think we definitely got to limit our turnovers turnovers. You know.

436
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: If we're we're fortunate that we were able to walk

437
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: away with the win in spite of that, I don't

438
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: think we could really suffer that thing that's gonna turnovers

439
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and then expect to win against the giant. Yeah. I

440
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: think you got to win the turnover battle, even if

441
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: it's plus one, you know, or or zero zero you know. Um,

442
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: you've got to do it. And because turnovers even if

443
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: you get even if they get three and you get one,

444
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: if yours happen, if they you know, you get three

445
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: turnovers for them, and you give up one turnover if

446
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: yours happens at the wrong time, he still beat get

447
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: beat that way. Um certainly. Uh, it's the timeliness of

448
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: the turnovers are as important as given the ball back

449
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: to him. But um, like well, like one of the

450
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: turnovers on Sunday was a fourth down turnover. On downs

451
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: if you don't get it, he turn it over anyway.

452
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: But I agree with you say, quants the difference. If

453
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: you can pressure Eli, that's fine. I think it's about

454
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: covering the guys up on the back end as much

455
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: as it is get about getting pressure. Uh. And because

456
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: Eli is not going to run around you know, so

457
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: you keep him in the pocket, make him throw the

458
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: football on time, and cover those guys up in the

459
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: back end. Go with eight guys in the box and

460
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: see if they can see if they can get open.

461
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: What do you think we need? Your three keys to

462
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: a Bill's victory over the Giants. Let's go to the

463
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: tweet sheet to get some ideas. The tweet sheet brought

464
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of

465
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. On the tweet sheet, answer to this

466
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: question from Max onexploit exploit the week secondary secondary of

467
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: the Giants by taking downfield shots too. Maintain the strong

468
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: pass rush, making many uncomfortable. Three focus on gap integrity,

469
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: don't allow sa Quan to slip past the line of

470
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: scrimmage untouched, and pile up chunk plays even touched, he

471
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: creates problems. Even when you get him, even when you

472
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: hit him, he he creates problems. Q go ahead. You

473
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm noticing about all answers so far, most

474
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: of them center around our defense. You know, stop quon,

475
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: pressure the quarterback and certainly say don't turn it over.

476
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: And they don't say, like we want. Josh has got

477
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: to be you know, you know, can't you know what

478
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, that's amazing to me because are off

479
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: at the defense is something we felt like we hang

480
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: our hats on. So that's the one thing we think,

481
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: all right, we can do this defensively. Maybe that's why

482
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: people say that's the key to the game. Your strength's

483
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: got to be strengths. Yeah, you know, and the Bill

484
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: scored seventeen points last week, not a lot of points.

485
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: Scored seventeen two. Yeah, you're not gonna win many of

486
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: those games. Look if they can hold the Giants to seventeen,

487
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: they got a chance this week. Right Yeah. Yeah, But

488
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: and I here's the thing too. The Giants secondary which

489
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: didn't play well last week. Mostly it was due to

490
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: by all accounts, most accounts is that they had coverage blows.

491
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: You know, they just wanted the right coverage. They one

492
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: side of the field was making playing one coverage, the

493
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: other was playing another coverage. So to me, that's the

494
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: easiest thing to fix. It's the when you got guys

495
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: getting beat one on one, or you know, they just

496
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: can't cover guys up because they're not athletic enough, or

497
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: mis tackles or what have you, or the bad ball skills.

498
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: All that stuff's physical. You can't fix that in one week.

499
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: But you can fix commune location in one week. This

500
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: is something the Giants have got to feel good about.

501
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask Carl Banks about you know, he

502
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: was a great linebacker for those Giants teams back in

503
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: the day. He's played defense for a while. I'm gonna

504
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: ask him. How easy is it for the Giants to

505
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: fix that stuff? That's really the key, because you can't

506
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: just think the Bills are gonna go in there and

507
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: have guys running free down the field because the defense

508
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: isn't gonna talk to each other again. They're gonna try

509
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: and fix that. Yeah, well, Carl Banks is coming up,

510
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: the former linebacker for the Giants, their first round pick

511

00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: for joining us, Thanks for having me guys. Steve, how

538
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 1: you doing, man, I'm doing great. You know we were

539
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: talking about it the history. You came out of Michigan State.

540
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: Do you remember Northwestern University beating you guys on a

541
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: quarterback throwback in nineteen eight on that team, Steve, we

542
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: broke the streak exactly the longest losing streak and we

543
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: broke in I remember that play like it was yesterday.

544
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: It was so bad, you guys. But then the other

545
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: thing was Reggie Roby could bring rain. That's with his punch.

546
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: That's right, That's right, you were that. I can't believe

547
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: you remember that, because even I had troubled remember that

548
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: far back. But I gotta ask you, Carl, we gotta

549
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: go and talk about the Giants team this year in

550
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: the game they had last year last week in Dallas,

551
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: the problems seemed to be stemming from the defensive secondary.

552
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: It seems to be miscommunications, and you'd being a great

553
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: defensive player in your career and covering the team as

554
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: you have, can they fix some of these problems pretty quickly? Well? Yeah,

555
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: there's two ways to fix it, Steve. You either uh.

556
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: You either cram uh and and try to get everybody

557
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: to uh to fix the communication issues and I guess

558
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: the schematics, or you just simplify it. Listen, I've played

559
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: on some really really good defenses, and I know you

560
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: know about really really good defenses, and the mark of

561
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: a good defense is everybody being on the same page,

562
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: working as one. And when it doesn't happen that way,

563
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: you have to keep simplifying it until you get something

564
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: everybody can do. Because what happens is you'd rather give

565
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: up a twenty yarder than a seventy five yarder that

566
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: should only went for fifteen to twenty yards. So I

567
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: think it's important for them to evaluate, I mean, the

568
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: coaches to evaluate their schematics and weigh that against the

569
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: abilities of their talent and see if they can come

570
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: up with it. If they think they can still run

571
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: with their running. They just have to put a little

572
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: the players have to put a little more into their

573
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: study habits. But if they feel that it's something that

574
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: they're not capable of doing at this moment and getting

575
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: everybody on the same page, then the best, you know,

576
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: the best resort is to simplifying it a little bit, right,

577
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: Carlos I quote this week from Pat Schumer talking about

578
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: maybe making some lineup changes on defense and then looking

579
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: at the depth chart on the flip card for this game.

580
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: Is Ryan Connley the fifth round pick because he's slated

581
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: to start there on the inside at linebacker? Would you

582
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: think we love Ryan Connolly? Man, I'm not sure if

583
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: that's one of the changes he's gonna make, but I'm

584
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: sure Connolly's gonna see the field quite a bit, especially

585
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: against a Buffalo team that has pretty good running backs.

586
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: And what about corners? The one corner side last week

587
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: was Baker and Hamilton kind of splitting reps. They settling

588
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: on one or go with more of that platoon? Do

589
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: you think over there the coach haven't really said much

590
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: about that. He knew there was an issue at that position,

591
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: but he hasn't really said much about with the action

592
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: he's going to go in, other than they have to

593
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: make some improvements and players have to get better at

594
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: what they're doing. So I'm not sure what direction he's

595
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: going there. But then the conno league question I can

596
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: ask for more clearly. He will see to feel a lot. Okay, Carl,

597
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: how do you think in your estimation? What are the

598
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Giants view? How do the Giants view the Bills overall? Oh,

599
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: they can't stop talking enough about, you know, the physicality

600
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: of the defense, to different looks that they get. And

601
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: then having Nate Solder on the team, he has, i

602
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: mean spoken glowingly and with high regard for the Bills

603
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: defense because he's played it when he was in New England.

604
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any element of them not

605
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: taking the Bills as good as a good defense. So offensively,

606
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: you look at the quarterback and he he does a

607
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: lot of good things. I mean, he sees a threat

608
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: with his legs. He's got one of the biggest arms

609
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: in the league. So and then he's got two really

610
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: good running backs in a good offensive scheme. When you

611
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: look at the offensive scheme, they've got plays that are

612
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: his own beaters. They've got plays that are man and

613
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: man beaters, and they execute really well. When they get

614
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: it done, it normally turns into a big play around

615
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: the line. With Carl Banks, former Giants linebacker, color analysts

616
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: on the Giants Radio Network, Giants offense obviously the focal

617
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: point of sa Quon Barkley, Carl over the year in

618
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: one game, over seventeen games. How have most teams tried

619
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: to handle sae Quon? Nobody's had much success. But what

620
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: are most teams trying to do with Saquon Barkley? Well,

621
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: you got to put a lot of guys in the box.

622
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: It's just that simple. I mean, he's had some games

623
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: where he didn't have a lot of rushing yards, but

624
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: he's a he's a receiver as well as he is

625
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: a runner. But look, you've got to pay attention to him,

626
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: as simple as that. When you have that level of

627
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: a running back in the league, you've got to pay

628
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: attention and give it the attention it deserves. We've watched

629
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: him from afar here in Buffalo, and you're right, I

630
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: guess you know you try and stack the box against him,

631
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: But what I noticed is he's hard to bring down

632
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: just one guy, particularly if you get even a safety

633
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: on him, and particularly a cornerback. You know, those guys

634
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: struggle to get him on the ground. Is there anybody

635
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: you can compare him to in the past, Well, he's

636
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of Barry Sanders, the shiftiness of

637
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders, He's got, you know, a lot of that

638
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas with his ability to catch in space, make

639
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: guys miss, and just hard to bring down Carl The

640
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: numbers would suggest it. I Manning through it pretty well

641
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: last week in Dallas. Did you think that was the case? Well,

642
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line helped him there. They played

643
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: a good, pretty good defensive front and he was able

644
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: to really execute. And yeah he did did Okay, I

645
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: mean obviously he take to win any day, but yeah,

646
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: from production standpoint, he was pretty decent. How do you

647
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: account for the Giants? They got four hundred and seventy

648
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: yards total offense and after one week their number six

649
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: in the league and moving the football. Why does it

650
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: look like that when it was such a disappointing loss

651
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: for the Giants? Well, look at the offensive line. That's

652
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: where it all starts. But you know, it's not a

653
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: matter of how many you score, how many yards you get.

654
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: It's it's how many you allowed the opponent to get

655
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: and can you keep them off the scoreboard. Carl, what

656
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: do you think the atmosphere will be like for the

657
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: Giants home opener on Sunday. I'm certain that New York

658
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: fans have not bailed even after a difficult game in Dallas.

659
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: Huh No, they're gonna show up. But they're you know, listen,

660
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: they just came off of a tough year, so they're

661
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: everybody's hopeful, and but you know, the players have to

662
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: give them a reason to really get into it. But

663
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: they'll show up. One of the things we've been noticing

664
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: from over here in Western New York is Sterling Shepherd's

665
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: got a concussion, Darius Slayton's out of hamstring, Garrett Dickerson's

666
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: quad recept maybe out. Cody Lattimore it's got a calf.

667
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: They seem nicked up after one week. Is you know,

668
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: how does that affect there? Has got going to affect

669
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: them on both sides of the ball. These guys going

670
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 1: to be able to go or most of them, And

671
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: is it gonna be uh, you know, kind of a

672
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: skeleton crew. Well, listen, this is the nature of the NFL.

673
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: You look, guys go down all the time. Key, guys

674
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: go down all the time. In a matter of how

675
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: you adjust. That's what the league is all about, Carl.

676
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: We got to congratulate you. The list of semi guys

677
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: I have. I have the coach coming in, so I'm

678
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna have to run. But I appreciate your time. Than

679
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: appreciate thanks, Carl, appreciate you. Okay, bye bye, thank you.

680
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: I know how that goes. Carl Banks, Right, he did

681
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: sound distracted, didn't he yet? For a minute, he kind

682
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: of started giving a shorter and shorter answers. He was

683
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: probably getting some signs from the PR department of the

684
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Giant saying you better wrap it up. I was gonna

685
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: congratulate him for being a Hall of Fame, like, yeah,

686
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: well better than me. But yeah, I'll talk to him Sunday.

687
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: Carl Banks on the line with us. He's a great guy.

688
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: Could tell him he's well liked around the league. Has

689
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: been hanging around the broadcast thing now that he's finished playing,

690
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: and he's a Ring of Honor guy for the New

691
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 1: York Giants. He's part of some great teams, some really

692
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: great teams. Hey, the Giants injury report is out. We

693
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: hope to get an update on the Bills injury report,

694
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: but game status is and these are all big out

695
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, wide receiver concussion. He's been in concussion protocol

696
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: all week. He is out for the game. Out wide

697
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: receiver Darius Slayton, a rookie with a hamstring injury. He

698
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 1: is officially out for the game. Out tight end Garrett

699
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: Dickerson with a quad muscle injury, and questionable wide receiver

700
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: Cody Latimer with a calf. I want to look at

701
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: their depth chart here for a second. On the offense. No,

702
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: they have a four tight ends and the top two

703
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and Rhett Allison. Dickerson is out. Eric Thomason

704
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: would be their third ten end. But you know, we

705
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: know this field. Yates talked about it with us a

706
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, Steve there. Their big playmakers are

707
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: obviously Saquon Barkley and Evan Ingram, but Sterling Shepherd would

708
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: have been considered I think especially now that um who

709
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: am I thinking of out in four game suspension? Oh yeah,

710
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: you remember he's out there. He's out, Sterling Shepherd. Golden Tate,

711
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, Golden Tate four games. I had it before, Jay,

712
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: I know, right, Golden Tate four game suspension, he's out.

713
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: Shepherd would have been considered the number one receiver. Slayton

714
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: I would think was in line to get some reps. Uh.

715
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: They added a receiver just yesterday to the Giants offensive

716
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: guy who led them with twelve catches in preseason h

717
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: and he's probably gonna have to play. His name is

718
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: t J. Jones, number eighty. So at wide receiver they

719
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: have Benny Fowler, Russell's Shepherd, Um Cody Core, t J.

720
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: Jones and that's it. Four wide receivers going into this game. Wow, yeah,

721
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: they're up against it. Maybe they go five tight ends

722
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: and well they only have three. Yeah, they're up against it.

723
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: And yeah they get thin, they're pretty quick. And that's

724
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: that's the way. He's right. Carl Banks said it. The

725
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: guy's got to step up and unexpected things happened to

726
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: your top wide receivers going down the week. One. Squan

727
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: Barkley may touch at thirty times this game, thirty thirty

728
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: plus times this game. Yeah, you know, what do you

729
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: think three keys to a builds went over the Giants?

730
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: What do you think? Frank and Wayne's well have had

731
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: some thoughts. He's on the line with the side Frank, Hey,

732
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: how you guys, But today three keys are are single Terry,

733
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: single Arry, single Arry. If they shove him in the

734
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: ball enough in this dallage and then they give Allan

735
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: all the time in the world to throw. I thought

736
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: he was markedly better than than um, you know last week,

737
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: and um I think he deserves twenty fives terries. I

738
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: would hope to see this week. I want to ask

739
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 1: Steve a question too about Alana's okay, go ahead, okay.

740
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: I grew up playing baseball and some pitchers were known

741
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: for having thrown threw a heavy ball, they call it.

742
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't wonder it was that it seemed like it

743
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: had more rotation on it, or somebody when the catcher

744
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: caught it made a louder thought. I'm wondering about Alan's throws,

745
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering does he because it seems to me

746
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: his ball is hired to catch a lot of game

747
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: his passes, and I'm wondering does he throw the ball

748
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: a different way with is it just harder the way

749
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: he throws it, or or whatever it is that is.

750
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: It seems to me that a lot of guys have

751
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: difficulty grabbing the paths that he goes. That's a good call, Frank,

752
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: and you're right. Guys do throw heavy balls, and guys

753
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: throw other balls that are easier to catch. Dan Marino

754
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: throw a really easy ball to catch. Jim Through a

755
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: really nice easy ball to catch Alan's ball. And I

756
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: guess what it comes down to. I don't know if

757
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: I I don't know if his ball is that heavy

758
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: or not. Certainly the ball is heavy when it comes

759
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: to you and point down. When the front point to

760
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: the ball is down towards the ground, it's easier when

761
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: the ball comes in with the point of the ball

762
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: up or level, that's an easier ball to catch. Certainly,

763
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: when you throw it longer, the ball is always coming down.

764
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: But when the ball comes in with some velocity and

765
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: it's and it's moving with the point down the back

766
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: out and it's still moving with the trajectory, that's kind

767
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: of up. You know, that's a heavy ball to catch.

768
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: Some quarterbacks spin it a little better when it's spinning. Actually,

769
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: I think when it spins tighter and spins faster, it's

770
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: a little easier to catch. Because particularly with the technology

771
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: with the gloves they have these days, that ball sticks

772
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: a little better. It's like catching a cheese grater. Uh yeah,

773
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: it hurts. It hurts a little bit on your hands,

774
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: but it also digs in. You're not gonna drop it.

775
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: So that's when the ball spins tight. Uh, it's easier

776
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: to catch in some ways to me when the ball

777
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: comes in not spinning. Uh, it's something. It doesn't fly

778
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: as true as it does when it spins tight, So

779
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: it's a little harder to judge, maybe on the longer throws.

780
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, you're right, guys, some guys do have

781
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: characteristics where their ball is a little bit more difficult

782
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: to catch than others. But when you catch ball and

783
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: catch it from the same guy over and over, it's

784
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: pretty easy to get used to that. So I don't

785
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: think that I think that disappears as an issue. As

786
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, as the season rolls on, Frank, thanks for

787
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: your call. We're gonna take a breakcare. We're coming back

788
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: with more, and we want to get more ideas from you.

789
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: Three keys to a Bill's victory over the Giants? What

790
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: would they be? Did you hear how Frank got around

791
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: that singletary? Singletary singletary. Yeah, so he means there's one key.

792
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: He repeats, I don't know that the giants are sitting

793
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: there like we're saying, they're saying singletary singlestaries. I don't

794
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: think they're doing that. We're not there. I love motor,

795
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: but I don't think the giants are there. Not quite theory.

796
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna break. We're coming back with more, coming back.

797
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: One Builds Live presented by Kalidah Health. We're coming to

798
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: alive from the Seneca Studio and this is Buffalo Bill's

799
00:39:46,400 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: Radio on Bills Live, John Murphy, Steve Tasker from our

800
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: setup to studio at the One Bill's Drive. I scoff

801
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: at your weak attempt at humor, mister Harris. He's talking

802
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: to the producer. They went at it during the break. Hey,

803
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: three keys to a Bill's victory over the Giants, And

804
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: don't be one of these people says, Ah, they got this.

805
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: It's easy. I hear people, I hear seasoned announcers say that,

806
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: and I never, I very rarely at least feel that way.

807
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: This is not college football. This is not college basketball

808
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: where you're playing cupcakes at the start of the season. Steve, look,

809
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: I see what's going on with the Giants. I just

810
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: read you the injury list. I saw how many yards

811
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: they gave up and how many guys were open in

812
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: the secondary the other day. But look, the Giants, it's

813
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: their home opener. They have some talent, They've got the

814
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: best running back in the game, and they got to

815
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: walk over and they got embarrassed last week. Yeah, don't

816
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: think they don't want to come out and hit somebody

817
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: in the mouth because they they got lumped up last

818
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: week by a division rival, and they got to live

819
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: with that for another four months here. They want to

820
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: They got to make a statement for their home fans,

821
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: they really do. And that's that's what you're up against.

822
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: And they got the best offensive player maybe at his position.

823
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: They got the best running back in the league period,

824
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: and they're gonna turn him loose. I mean not Yeah,

825
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: you don't just walk in and win, That's all I'm saying.

826
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: You don't walk into the MetLife Stadium and just walk

827
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: off with the Giants. Now they should the Bills. Should

828
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: the Bills win, you sure they should, but you don't.

829
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: You don't just show up. Yeah, Kevin on the line

830
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: from Hamburger, Kevin, you have three keys for us for Buffalo,

831
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Okay? Um? The three keys are

832
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: no turnovers like last week, Keep Barkley in check as

833
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: much as you can, I mean, the cowboy him. We

834
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: still have an eight yard run. And most importantly, guys,

835
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: make sure that Eli Manning gets heavy feedback there. Every

836
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: team that beats on him knows he gets like, oh

837
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: my god, oh my god. Yeah, those are my three

838
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: keys too, maybe in a different order. Did you list

839
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: those in the order of importance? Do you think Derek

840
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 1: Kevin in reverse order? Maybe? He said most nauseating first

841
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: half up last week? Yeah, it was, it was. I

842
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: didn't I wasn't nauseated. I know, like I was. I

843
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: didn't like the turnovers, but you know what it was,

844
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: I was. I was befuddled. I was like, wait a minute,

845
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: how can they be moving the ball this well and

846
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: uh and turn it over that many times only be

847
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: down six points? And then that was the other part.

848
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: It wasn't nauseating. It was like, how can they turn

849
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: it over four times it only be down six points?

850
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: I was, I was, I was lost. I was Chris

851
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: Brown on that he said, you just watched They're gonna

852
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: come back. I wasn't like confident enough to maybe to

853
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: blurt it out, but I thought, you know, there's still

854
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: there's no way they can turn it over another four times.

855
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: And then, you know, so because I saw, I thought, yeah,

856
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna play better this second half. We'll see it.

857
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: They gotta be good. But then they come out and

858
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: they give up a they cough up a safety ride away.

859
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, you know. Then I

860
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: started and it was deep into the third quarter before

861
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: things started to get better. So this is gonna be

862
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: a tough game and there's gonna be some ups and

863
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: downs in this one too. So yeah, so hang in there,

864
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: hanging there. I don't think the Bills are in a

865
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: spot now where they can expect to win by like

866
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: double digits, you know what I mean. I think this

867
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: is going to be a very hard fought, one possession

868
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: game all the way through. Before we go off the

869
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: air today, we need a prediction from you. I think

870
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: I said seventeen thirteen last week I was off, it

871
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: was seventeen sixteen. I think I said seventeen. Oh, you

872
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of more points than that from the Bill,

873
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: I said twenty seven seventeen. Yeah, yeah, at least that many. Yeah,

874
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: I might have said we're gonna have keep for twenty

875
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: seven seventeen. Here's a Rick on a cell phone. Go ahead, Rickman,

876
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: you're on the air, I said, seventeen sixteen bills, go

877
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: ahead to call and just mention that this is one

878
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: of those games. I'm kind of Steve's agents back in

879
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: the day when you guys are stud this is one

880
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: of those games we kind of thought you might look over.

881
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: But my hope is this team hasn't won enough to

882
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: do that. I don't know your thoughts with that. I

883
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: think I don't think McDermott runs a kind of ship

884
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: that he'll allow that. And I don't think this is

885
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: the kind and you can say what you want, it's culture.

886
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: They're not going to do that. This is not a

887
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 1: team that's going to show up ready thinking they're gonna

888
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: do it. I think this is a team that still

889
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: has a chip on their shoulder with a lot to

890
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: prove uh. And I think this is a team that

891
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: knows that the only way that they're going to get

892
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: noticed on a national level is to win and to

893
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: play well. And I think I think they crave that

894
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: as much as they crave you know, walking in there

895
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: and you know, winning an easy game. They want to

896
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: be respected. This team does, and I don't think they

897
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: believe they're there yet. So yeah, I'm with you. I

898
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to look past this team at all.

899
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: And then when it comes to Josh Allen and the

900
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: way he throws the ball, he throws the hot half

901
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: ball and a heavy gun. And all I can say is,

902
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: I saw commercial on TV and I saw you catch it.

903
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: There's a trick of the camera, Jah, It's a trick

904
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: of the camera, Rick seeing that commercial. Was there a

905
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: body double for you or was that really there was

906
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: a stunt double? But I can give that. But I

907
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: did I did catch the ball. I did get stunt double.

908
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: What ran? Yeah? Ok, I have it's in my contract.

909
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: If I have to run two steps with intensity, I

910
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: don't start double, all right, they don't run please please? Yeah? Josh? Yeah,

911
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: the play. Yeah, Josh throws a good ball. I don't

912
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: think there's any question that. I don't think any of

913
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: these guys you know, would characterize his ball as heavier,

914
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: light or whatever. But and it's not the same with

915
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: every guy either. As some you know, some situations, a

916
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: guy throws a heavy ball because it just he's got

917
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: to get rid of it. And you know what I mean,

918
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: he's up to dress that. So yeah, some balls are

919
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: easy to catch than other, there's no question about it.

920
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: But it's not that consistent, even among the same guy

921
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: throwing the football. So there's that. Hey. One thing we

922
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: got out of a Carl Bank short appearance, very short

923
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: appearance on the show was the fact that the Giants

924
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: have made a switch at linebacker, right, Ryan Kinley, fifth

925
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: round pick from Wisconsin, and Carl Bank said they like

926
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: him a lot. I know they do. They played him

927
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot second half last week. But that's a rookie

928
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: starting insane linebacker for them. That's worth noting. I don't

929
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,959
Speaker 1: know he's a good player. It looks like a good player,

930
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: but he's a fifth round pick, Ryan Kinley. Yeah, and

931
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: I think it got to the point where it last

932
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: week where they were Yeah, and that we're seeing a

933
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 1: highlight of it um on television. Now, you're right, he's

934
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to start to find out about

935
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: some guys. Yeah, you know, they can't sit tight with

936
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: what they give up five hundred how many yards? Yea,

937
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: and the seeker was running wild Man, and so were

938
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: guys in the secondary. So they they were really bewildered.

939
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: Last week they did not look ready to play the Giants, didn't.

940
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: You gotta think they're gonna show up. But differently this week,

1004
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: in particular have looked at the Buffalo Bills. Greg, and

1005
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned in the break before we came on with you.

1006
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: I'll impressed you were with what you saw from Josh

1007
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: Allen last week. Huh, very impressed. And you know what,

1008
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: what I found very fascinating was their first eighteen plays

1009
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: through their first three possessions. Guys were called passes. Very

1010
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: interesting game plan, and I thought Josh was poised, composed.

1011
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: The game was not too fast for mentally. I like

1012
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: the kinds of throws they asked him to make. They

1013
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: were short throws, they were timing throws, the kinds of

1014
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: throws that we always talked about that he had to

1015
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: do better in order to become a consistent quarterback. I

1016
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: thought for the most part, he was pretty accurate, good

1017
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: ball placement. These were throws that demanded pace and touch,

1018
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: and he made these kinds of throws. I was it

1019
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: was kind of interesting and fun to watch. What do

1020
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: you make of the four turnovers? I mean, that's been

1021
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: the that was the story coming out of the first

1022
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: half of that game, how it all kind of seemed

1023
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: to go away except they were only down six points.

1024
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: What did you make of the four turnovers? I mean,

1025
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: the first interception, which was the touchdown by the Jets

1026
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: was not on Josh, you know, and then the obviously

1027
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: the Saka fumble. Those things can happen. Then the the

1028
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: bad snap situation. That's a flukey thing. We know it

1029
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: can happen, but that's flukey. And I'm trying to specifically

1030
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 1: remember the other one now, which oh it's a tip

1031
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: ballad scrimmage. You know that's flukey too. So I mean, look,

1032
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: it's easy to say they can't happen, and we know

1033
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: they can't, but I don't think they were representative in

1034
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: any way of poor play by Josh Allen, Greg what

1035
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: did you think of kind of the offensive look the

1036
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: Bills showed in that game. They came out there, started

1037
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: the game with kind of I personnel, eye formation, personnel,

1038
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: and then just spread everybody out wide. What were they

1039
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: doing and what did you think of that approach? Well,

1040
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: it's interesting because all of those first eighteen plays that

1041
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: we spoke about a moment ago that started the game

1042
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: all had what we call twenty one personnel, two backs

1043
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: and one tight end, and the backs were singled Terry

1044
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: and DeMarco. And what they did with that is something

1045
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: we've seen a team like the New England Patriots do

1046
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: for years, where they'll spread the formation, they'll be very

1047
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: multiple with their formations out of two backs and one

1048
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 1: tight end, and the Bills kind of did the same thing.

1049
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,280
Speaker 1: And it's I think it's a positive. You know, I was,

1050
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: it was. It was not what I expected to see

1051
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: in the hole in the opener for the Bills. I

1052
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: don't know what you guys thought. Yeah, you're right, we

1053
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: didn't know exactly what we're going to expect. But I

1054
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: think the thing that got us and that I noticed

1055
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: was that they went with a little pace early on,

1056
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,439
Speaker 1: and also they changed formations. Josh would go up under

1057
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: center and then back away, break the formation and force

1058
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: the defense to talk a lot. Yes, without question. You know.

1059
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about that is that also says that

1060
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 1: they there's a confidence level in Josh because you gotta

1061
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: remember one thing and you know that Steve, when you move,

1062
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: the defense moves too, so the quarterback has to be

1063
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: aware of all those things. The defense does not stay

1064
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: static when you move your personnel, so they feel obviously

1065
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: the coaching staff does that. Josh is comfortable with that,

1066
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: you know. And then they ran a lot of basic

1067
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: concepts which everybody runs, but they're defined concepts what we

1068
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: call mesh where you have the two shallow crossers levels

1069
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: concepts against zone where you have different levels of receivers

1070
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: to attack zone, one underneath, one over the top. You know,

1071
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 1: the basic concepts that provide relatively defined reads and looks.

1072
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: I actually thought that his third throw of the game

1073
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: was really good. It was it was only nine yards

1074
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: to Brown, but it came on that MESH concept and

1075
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: they played zone. And what you normally get with mesh

1076
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: is because mesh is meant for man with those crossers,

1077
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: but they put what's called a sit route right behind

1078
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: that mesh, and that's the throw you make versus zone

1079
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: because it's available, and he was. He read it immediately

1080
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: and he just hit Brown with a good throw for

1081
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,479
Speaker 1: nine yards. And you know, it's little plays like that,

1082
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: the detail plays that make for great quarterbacking. And Josh

1083
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: made a lot of those kinds of plays in this game,

1084
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: a lot of those throws. Well, coming into this year,

1085
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, you look back at last year he led

1086
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: the team in rushing. Yes, on Sunday it was ten

1087
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 1: rushes for thirty eight yards. What do you think of

1088
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: that stat line? Well, I think in an ideal world,

1089
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: as as he grows as quarterback, the rushes decrease because

1090
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: he becomes quicker with what he sees. He eliminates what's

1091
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: not there and isolates what is there, quicker the good

1092
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: ones doing before the snap. But then you also have

1093
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: to confirm and validate after the snap. So I think

1094
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: the more he plays, the more experience he gets, the

1095
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: more he sees, the more he gets comfortable. In an

1096
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: ideal world, the less he runs. Unless it's by design,

1097
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: there'll always be a few design runs for him, and

1098
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: there were some design runs in this game obviously. Well

1099
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: there were two that I can think of. One was

1100
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: a short yards where was eight yards around the end,

1101
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: the left end, and then another was a quarterback snake

1102
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 1: that he got stuffed on right before the turnover, so

1103
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: that if you take if you take those away, you

1104
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: get seven runs for thirty yards or eight runs for

1105
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: thirty yards. So that's a kind of about I think

1106
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: there was one other one that I remember that was

1107
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: the design where he took the snap and he ran

1108
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: the left. It was a designed run. I forget the distance,

1109
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: but you know, and I, like I said, gonna have

1110
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: a few design runs for him, Steve, because he can

1111
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: run well, obviously, and you do want to take advantage

1112
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: of that, depending on game situation, fuel location, things of

1113
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: that nature. But you certainly don't want him scrambling nine, ten,

1114
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: twelve times a game out of the pocket on called passes. Yeah.

1115
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: The one run that I forgot about, we just saw

1116
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: us a touchdown run. I forgot about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1117
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: Greg co Sam on the line with this executive producer

1118
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: analyst on NFL Matchup on ESPN this weekend. I had

1119
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: one more question for you about the Jets game and

1120
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: maybe how it translates into the future. Devin Singletary on

1121
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: the field for seventy percent of the snaps but limited

1122
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 1: carries for him, What do you think the future holds

1123
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: for him? And what do you think of his game

1124
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: against the Jets? Well, he only had four runs with

1125
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: all those snaps because of the way they chose to play.

1126
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: But I like Singletary. You know, his first two runs

1127
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 1: of twenty and twenty three yards, they were both eye

1128
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: back runs to the left side of the formation where

1129
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: they pulled Morrison Spain. His third run, if I remember correctly,

1130
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: was what we call same side hour. It was out

1131
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: of the gun, and his fourth run was another eye

1132
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: back run. So three of his four runs he was

1133
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: the eye back with Alan under center, you know, and

1134
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: I think that you'll see more of him. He's got

1135
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: some juice to him. You see this run right here

1136
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: where he bounced it outside. You see the lateral quickness,

1137
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: the lateral juice. You know he's got that. He'll be

1138
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: he'll definitely be a part of the rotation. How many

1139
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: runs he gets, you know, that will be determined on

1140
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: a week to week basis. I'm sure It'll be a

1141
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: function of the opponent as well, but I think he's clearly. Look,

1142
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: he was on the field for those first eighteen snaps.

1143
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: As you said, Murphy played seventy percent of the snaps.

1144
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: You're not out there unless the coaching staff believes that

1145
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: you can be out there and they trust what you

1146
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: can do. So we'll see I think we'll see more

1147
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: of him with the ball in his hand moving forward.

1148
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: Of the one other guy, I've got to ask you

1149
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: about after the Jets game. We came into the season

1150
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: and the Bills, you know, the number of the quote

1151
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: unquote number one receiver the Bills never had or didn't have,

1152
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: John Brown certainly emerged as the least Josh Allen's favorite target.

1153
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: With the catches in one hundred and twenty three yards.

1154
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: What did you think of John Brown's performance? Yeah, and

1155
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: John Brown's always been a guy who could run, you know.

1156
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: I think the kinds of throws they'll make to him.

1157
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: I remember the twenty eight yard crosser a late in

1158
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: the first half, which was a great throw by Josh.

1159
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: It was your basic post cross he ran away from

1160
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: from Johnson. You know, he can run away from people. Obviously,

1161
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 1: the winning touchdown. It was I believe it was cover

1162
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: one and he was matched up against Darryl Roberts, and

1163
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: you have to feel good about that matchup because Roberts

1164
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: is not a big time NFL corner. Brown is your guy.

1165
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: It was a kind of a stutter go or stop

1166
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,479
Speaker 1: and go, you know. And and they teach quarterback Steve

1167
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: as you well know, if the if the defender's back

1168
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: is turned and he can't see the ball, you throw

1169
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: it to that receiver. And that's basically what that play was.

1170
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: And Alan actually turned it loose through it a little

1171
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: bit to the inside, but because Darryl Roberts had no

1172
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: idea where the ball was, it was a touch down.

1173
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: We're talking with great co sal senior producer NFL Films.

1174
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: He crunches tape, breaks down tape, and we got to

1175
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: talk now about the Giants, and we start with Saquon

1176
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: Barkley over the year, well the years, over the year.

1177
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: In one game, what have team's done to try to

1178
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: handle sae Quon Barkley. What might be the best approach

1179
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: for the Bills to take in this game this week? Graig,

1180
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: I think they probably go to church on Saturday night. Yeah,

1181
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: I am I will, that's for sure. Yeah, Look, that

1182
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: guy's terrific. You know, we can sit here and debate,

1183
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: and I don't rip coaches. I just don't do that.

1184
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: We can sit here and debate how much he should

1185
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: or shouldn't get the ball. You know, the sense I

1186
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: think for a lot of people is that the Giants

1187
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: offense should run through se Quon Barkley. It hasn't really,

1188
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: and it certainly didn't last week in a game that

1189
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: was closer than the score. We know he's special. I'm

1190
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: not telling you anything you don't know. You know, he's

1191
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: one of those backs that can line up as an

1192
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: eyeback and be a phenomenal runner. You can detach him

1193
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: from the formation. He's an excellent pass receiver. He obviously

1194
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: is phenomenal contact balance, can run through people, run after catchability.

1195
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: There's nothing say Quon Barkley cannot do. I think your

1196
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: game plan starts with say Quon Barkley from a defensive perspective.

1197
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: And when I say that, I know that's a platitude

1198
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: and mistake. Miss I'm thinking more in terms of tactically

1199
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: how you approach it, you know, getting an extra guy

1200
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: in the box, making sure maybe there's always an unblocked

1201
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: defender based on their the Giants run concepts, things of

1202
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: that nature. Yeah, and I agree with you. It really

1203
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: does should run through and maybe even at this point,

1204
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: with the injuries that the Giants have coming into this week,

1205
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the passing game runs through him as well.

1206
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: Is that possible? Yeah, I mean they have a lot

1207
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: of injuries at wide receiver, and they weren't. You know,

1208
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: someone would argue that the receiving corps wasn't top line

1209
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: to begin with, but I mean it Shepherd's out, Lattimore,

1210
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: I guess is questionable. I know you mentioned Slayton being out.

1211
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: He's a he's a rookie from Auburn Um. You know,

1212
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: they're they're very thin, so you could easily see them

1213
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: line up with two tight ends a lot in this game,

1214
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: use Barkley as a wildcard, move him around or you know.

1215
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: And I think they're going to come out and run

1216
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: the ball. And you know, with the premise that, well,

1217
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: we need to just if I could quickly, we need

1218
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: to jump to the giant D because this is a

1219
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: game where the giant D has to be a factor

1220
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: and there's no other way to put it. But they

1221
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: were absolutely terrible last week and at times embarrassing, and

1222
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: it's it's I don't think they'll be that way for

1223
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: the season. Week one has some of those performances both

1224
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: positive and negative where everybody overreacts. But they were quite

1225
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: honestly very bad last week. Now they did have they

1226
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: exhibit a ton of problems in the back end of

1227
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:42,479
Speaker 1: their defense last week. Are those problems fixable in one week?

1228
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean, were they physical or were they mental? I

1229
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: think they were mental, yeah, and I think they're fixable.

1230
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Just you know, again, Steve, you know one thing the

1231
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: coaches coach players play, so it's going to be coached.

1232
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: The question is how do the players react on the

1233
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: field on Sunday. So we'll see. But those those are

1234
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: fixable errors. They were mental errors. Guys not recognizing things,

1235
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 1: not playing with their eyes. I mean, you're seeing a

1236
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: touchdown right here, nobody within seven eight nine yards of

1237
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,439
Speaker 1: the receiver. I remember the Randall Cobb touchdown as well.

1238
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: No one was around him. You know, these are fixable

1239
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 1: things because they have to do with eye discipline, they

1240
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: have to do with recognition of formations and splits. These

1241
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: are all coachable things. So what would the Buffalo Bills

1242
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: offense want to do to do attack what seemed to

1243
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: be weaknesses in the Cowboys defense. What should they be

1244
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: looking to do this week? Great, Well, what the Cowboys

1245
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: did a lot to the Giants. I mean is they

1246
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: really threw the ball, you know, in some ways more

1247
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: than they ran it. They threw they did the RPO

1248
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: game was very effective for the Cowboys against the Giants.

1249
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: I think you the one thing you want to be

1250
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: careful if you're the Bills is you're playing a defense

1251
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: overall that's not really good. Okay, So to me, and

1252
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a coach, but to me, you don't want

1253
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: to step outside of what you think you can do

1254
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: because you're not playing a defense that theoretically can take

1255
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: away a lot of things. So instead of saying, hey,

1256
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: let's try this this week, you stay with your approach.

1257
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: You continue to build on what you do well. You

1258
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: continue to build with Josh Allen with the kinds of

1259
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: throws and play calls that you believe he can do well.

1260
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 1: And I think that if you do that, you'll have

1261
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: success against this defense. Yeah. I think at this point,

1262
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: you just do what you do and play your game.

1263
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: Ask your guys to play what they do well. That is,

1264
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: if you know, at this early spot of the season,

1265
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: you have to know your guys, which some teams have

1266
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: a trouble knowing when the games are for real. None

1267
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: of these teams really know who they are anyway. But

1268
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: if you've got some things you're confident in, go with it.

1269
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. You know, look, every once in

1270
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: a while, you play a defense that you have to

1271
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: account for certain things and you must do that. The Giants,

1272
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: to me, are not that defense. So I think the

1273
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Bills run their offense, work on what they want to

1274
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: work on, keep getting better at what they do. One

1275
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: more question for you about this game, the Bills game

1276
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: coming up, that I have for you, Greg, and that's

1277
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: an aspect to the other side of the ball, Eli Manning.

1278
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: How did he look to you against Dallas And what's

1279
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: your the Bills expect to see from him. You know,

1280
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he looked bad at all. In fact,

1281
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: I was you know, again, they have so many injuries,

1282
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: but I was kind of impressed with their offense. I mean,

1283
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: I think that there are some things they can get done.

1284
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,439
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not this week because they'll be down so

1285
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: many people. But Eli was not the reason they lost

1286
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: that game. I thought he played solid football. You know.

1287
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,439
Speaker 1: I think he's at the point in his career where

1288
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: he's not the driving force of an offense, and to

1289
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: my way of thinking, shouldn't be asked to be that guy.

1290
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: So we'll see what they do this week with all

1291
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the injuries. But I would I would really expect Murph

1292
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: that Saquon Barkley. You look, unless the Bills run away

1293
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: with the score early, but if this game is close

1294
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: to me, this has to be a Saquon Barkley game.

1295
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: Twenty five carries, maybe seven eight receptions. He would to

1296
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: me he has to have over thirty touches in this game.

1297
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: I would agree with you. One of the things I

1298
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta move on to maybe around the league.

1299
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: One of the most unbelievable stories coming out of New

1300
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: York is had to do with the Jets. Sam Sam

1301
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: Darnold is sick. I'll just put it that way out

1302
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to ask you about any of

1303
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: the stuff and then what that means to the jetson

1304
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: But Trevor Simeon is going to get the start for

1305
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: the Jets. You've seen him play in the past. What

1306
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: do you think about Trevor Simeon. I think Trevor Simeon

1307
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: is one of those guys you can line up and

1308
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: play with as long as the other parts of your

1309
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 1: team more effectively. I guess Leveon Bell has a shoulder.

1310
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: I guess we don't know if he's going to play.

1311
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: If he can play and is capable of playing pretty

1312
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: much the full game, I think you have to lean

1313
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: on him. I think you have to work the play

1314
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: action pass game. I think you have to hope your

1315
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,919
Speaker 1: defense can keep the game in hand on Monday Night

1316
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: against Cleveland Simeon, you know when he was in Denver,

1317
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: there was a stretch there where he played effectively. They

1318
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,439
Speaker 1: ran the ball, they executed the play action pass game,

1319
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: and and he executed and orchestrated the offense. That's what

1320
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: he is. Is he a high level talent? No, But

1321
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: if the pieces are not working, Steve, then he's not

1322
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: the guy that's necessarily going to make the big time

1323
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: throws that allow you to win the game. Okay, So

1324
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: if that's Trevor Simeon, who is Gardner Minshew, the guy

1325
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: taking over Gary taking over for Nick Foles in Jacksonville? Well,

1326
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: I think we should probably put it on our gardner

1327
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Minshew mustaches before we talk about him. Yeah, you know,

1328
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: you know it's funny. I watched him coming out of

1329
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Washington stayed quite a bit, and he's under sixth one.

1330
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,919
Speaker 1: He's not physically imposing, so he doesn't look the part.

1331
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: But and he was in the air raid offense, which

1332
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people dismiss. But he played with a

1333
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: great sense of pace, touch timing, very accurate thrower, knew

1334
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: where to go with the ball. He exhibited those same

1335
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: traits last week. Now, the elevated completion percentage you have

1336
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: to be careful with because as the game progressed, Steve Spagnol,

1337
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: the DC for the Chiefs, went to a lot of

1338
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: prevent and he threw a lot of checkdowns and that

1339
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: elevated the completion percentage. But up to that point, he

1340
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: looked exactly like he looked at Washington State. Now they're

1341
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: going to go into Houston. Houston has a good d line,

1342
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: good front seven, a lot of past rush concepts. Will

1343
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: see when he plays from play one how all that

1344
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: works out. He'll clearly be under more pressure in this

1345
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: game than he was against the Chiefs. Should one more

1346
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: question I got about another team is Ben Roethlisberger and

1347
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: the Pitton Kansas or the Pittsburgh Steelers going in and

1348
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: getting thumped in New England or the Pittsburgh Steaers. Okay,

1349
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: I think they have some things Steve to work out.

1350
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: They couldn't run the ball, and I think that hurt them,

1351
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: and I think after Juju Smith Schuster, they're not certain

1352
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: yet what their wide receiver situation is. I mean, they

1353
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: have James Washington and Donte Moncrief, but I don't think

1354
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: they know yet what those guys are in the context

1355
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: of their offense. And when you just have one receiver

1356
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: like that, it's it's tough. So I think they're one

1357
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: of those teams that early in the Sea Seas they

1358
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: have some things that they need to get worked out,

1359
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: and we don't know how that'll play out just yet.

1360
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: Hey Greg, I'm sure you guys will talk about it

1361
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: on your show. The NFC Championship Game rematch out in

1362
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles four twenty five on Sunday, the Saints and

1363
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: the Rams, and a lot of the attention has been

1364
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: focused on the nickel Robie Coleman played, but this game

1365
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: is much more than that. Isn't it. That was a

1366
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: really good competitive game last year and these might be

1367
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: the two best teams in the NFC at least, right Yeah.

1368
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously this is a very tactical game. I mean,

1369
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: when you play against the Rams offense, and by the way,

1370
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: the Rams offense in the last two meaningful games, teams

1371
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: have figured some things out, and I think it's going

1372
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: to be up to Sean McVeigh to kind of, you know,

1373
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: see where he goes. But the two things you know

1374
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna get when you face the Rams offense, You're

1375
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna get tempo. They selectively play with tempo where they

1376
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: just get up on the ball. They may not snap

1377
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: it right away, but they'll get right up on the ball.

1378
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: And the other thing they do a ton of is

1379
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: that jet sweep action, and you have to figure out

1380
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: how you want to deal with that so guys don't

1381
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: get out of position. So those are two things. On

1382
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: the other side, I think when I watch tape, what

1383
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: really is a problem for defenses is the Saints tend

1384
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: to line up Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas on the

1385
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: same side of the formation to the boundary side, the

1386
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: short side of the field and that's a tough deal

1387
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: for defenses or one thing. One last team I want

1388
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: to ask you about. They're coming up on the bill

1389
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: schedule in a couple of weeks, and I thought it

1390
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,560
Speaker 1: was a really surprising outcome in Seattle when Cincinnati we

1391
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, they gave Seattle all they could handle week

1392
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: one of the season in on the roads. That outcomes

1393
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: surprised me. I know that Cincinnati Bengals lost, but they

1394
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: also by one point against a Seattle Seahawk team discussed

1395
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: some pretty high expectations. I thought their offense and I

1396
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: watched that tape their offense Steve looked really good. I mean,

1397
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,839
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor's the head coach there. He came from the Rams.

1398
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: There are a lot of those Ram principles. To me,

1399
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton fits that style of offense. It's a timing,

1400
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: rhythm offense. To find the reads, to find the throws,

1401
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 1: get the ball out let the quarterbacks stay in or rhythm.

1402
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: That's what Dalton is to me. Now, he's not as

1403
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: physically imposing or as smooth as smooth a thrower as

1404
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, but in some ways he's stylistically similar, and

1405
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: I think this offense fits him and he's kind of

1406
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: been you know, thrown in the dust spin a little bit,

1407
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: you know, relegated there because of the last couple of years.

1408
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: But you know what was it three four years ago

1409
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 1: he was on his way to being League MVP when

1410
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: he got hurt. You know, Andy Dalton is a capable

1411
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback and I think this is the style of

1412
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: offense that fits him. And hey, when you guys playing,

1413
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: maybe AJ Green's back too, So who knows. We'll talk

1414
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 1: a lot more about the Dalton and the Bengals and

1415

Speaker 1: AJ Green next week. Greg, thanks for this. Great to

1424
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: couple of players officially ruled out on the further Bills

1425
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: in Sunday's game at the Giants. Cornerback Arn Johnson with

Speaker 1: and wide receiver Andre Roberts with his quad muscle injury.

1428
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: He will miss his second consecutive game. One player questionable

1429
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: tight end Tyler Croft with a foot. They got a

1430
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: full practice today out of cornerback Leviy Wallace, who left

1431
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: early yesterday with a name. Tyler Croft questionable is an

1432
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 1: upgrade from where he was a week ago. Was he

1433
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I don't know if he was questionable

1434
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: last week, but he's starting to practice. You know, he's

1435
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: getting closer. And this is kind of getting in the

1436
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: timeframe of the reason they put him on the fifty

1437
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: three instead of on the pup list the early season.

1438
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: I are where they could activate him only after six weeks.

1439
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: This his next two three weeks where he might get

1440
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: on the field and give them a couple of weeks

1441
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,800

Speaker 1: feel like, all right, I'm set. I got a little

1456
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 1: more work to do to get ready for Sunday's game.

1457
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: And it's not just about the Bills, but the whole

1458
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: league year or the whole league schedule coming up. I

1459
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: feel like, let's go. I can't wait till Sunday now.

1460
01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: Because that's what Greg dust you he died, and that's

1461
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: what that show does. NFL matchup. He dives into the

1462
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts, right, and his segment is probably, well

1463
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: your segment it's are pretty good too. But his segment

1464
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: is one of my favorites of the show because it

1465
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 1: sets me up for the weekend. That's just the way

1466
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: I feel as a participant and a listener in this show.

1467
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,839
Speaker 1: As you know, Steve, this show, we are also listening

1468
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: as much as we are broadcasting, and we're listening to

1469
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: him say that about three hundred times. But no, it's great.

1470
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 1: It's a great segment there. It is a great segment.

1471
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: I always feel a little better because because he also

1472
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: it's it's an unvarnished and objective view about whether like

1473
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 1: he was, there's no emotion exactly because he has said

1474
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: things that weren't complimentary as well about the bills during

1475
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: his time here. And he also but he was effusive

1476
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: in his praise of Josh Allen. I you know when

1477
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: I sit here and say that and I watch it,

1478
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's me. We watch us to

1479
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 1: be good, right, we want him. We've got skin in

1480
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 1: the game. Greig doesn't have any skins because he couldn't

1481
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: care less. And he comes he said, Wow, he's doing

1482
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: some things that we didn't see him do last year.

1483
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:03,600
Speaker 1: He played really well and he made some throws we

1484
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 1: didn't know if he could, mean needed to work on it,

1485
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: and he made him really well in this game, and

1486
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: we have said that, yeah, the four turnovers seemed flukey.

1487
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 1: They weren't all his fault. And Greg chimed it on.

1488
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: He said that, yeah, that stuff hat can't happen. But

1489
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,600
Speaker 1: you know what happens the exchange of the center, a

1490
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: tipped pass, a two tipped pass interception, so all of

1491
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: that stuff. And they go, Okay, that's the way we

1492
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,640
Speaker 1: see it, But how do you see it? You know,

1493
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: how does somebody who doesn't, you know, care as much?

1494
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: He says, yeah, you're right. He Josh played really well,

1495
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: and I thought their offense moved the ball really well

1496
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:40,679
Speaker 1: when when Josh was throwing it, they were up tempo

1497
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: and they threw eighteen straight times in a row, and

1498
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: they were moving it down the field. Really it really was.

1499
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: They had twenty three first downs, but they only had

1500
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: a chance to convert on ten third downs, which means

1501
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: they were getting first downs on first and second down.

1502
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: They didn't even have to get the third down on

1503
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,759
Speaker 1: half of the first downs they got to. So pretty

1504
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: impressive stuff. And there is a reason to think this

1505
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,600
Speaker 1: offense is going to take a step forward at some point.

1506
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: They still they still can't get on the scoreboard often

1507
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: enough right, seventeen is not going to be enough. It's

1508
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: not enough, and that's the problem. Last year they'd move

1509
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: it and joshed it, all this stuff, and they were

1510
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: hitting these long bombs. Last year, they just didn't score

1511
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: enough points. And I think that's a step that they

1512
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: got to overcome. They certainly did a week seventeen last

1513
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: year forty two points on the Dolphins. Now, seventeen points

1514
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: and a half should be enough at that pace. That's

1515
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 1: a good point, you know, that's a good point. I

1516
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: haven't thought about that. They scored seventeen and a half,

1517
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: so I'd be thirty four. That's enough. That's enough with

1518
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 1: this defense, that's plenty. Great cosal you can see him

1519
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,879
Speaker 1: and uh South Palatonio and our buddy met Bowen Tomorrow

1520
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 1: eight thirty am on ESPN two. That's when I'll watch

1521
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 1: it Sunday, four am and six thirty am on ESPN.

1522
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: Somebody got to tell me why ESPN buries that show too? Right? What?

1523
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: Four am, six thirty am. It's it's the best. I

1524
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: don't know. There's got to be an audience for that show.

1525
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 1: That is a great TV show. Matt Bowen is outstanding.

1526
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: We've had him on the show for years. That's right.

1527
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, you know nowadays on the phone nowadays,

1528
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean you just go in and your DVR. I

1529
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: mean all right, but still they bury still, they go

1530
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: out of their way to bury it. We want to

1531
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 1: Jared's three. Go ahead, you're gonna come to the defense

1532
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 1: of ESPN. No, no, not the defense of them. And

1533
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: they do it because they don't have any superstars on

1534
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: the show. Right there, you go, good answer, right, And

1535
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 1: they don't have Dion Sanders on the show. This is

1536
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,679
Speaker 1: why we have Steve here, and you don't have Network

1537
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Ray Louis talent on that show. You're you know what

1538
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying, You're not just getting on all those guys

1539
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: even worked for you for ESPN. But that's the reason.

1540
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: None of those guys, none of those guys, none of

1541
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: the superstars want to do that much work. Now we're

1542
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: getting down to the aren't we They don't want to.

1543
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't don't want to grind tape like

1544
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 1: they have eighteen hours a week to sit down and

1545
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: grind through tape of the six matchups they're gonna go over. No,

1546
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 1: they don't have the time. They're busy signing autographs and

1547
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 1: they're doing fluff, yeah, exactly, and they're doing opinion stuff, right,

1548
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: you know. I mean that's why, that's what they do.

1549
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: They want to see what do you think about this?

1550
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 1: And they want to hear what those guys have to

1551
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: say about it, right, They don't, you know, they don't

1552
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: want to do the nuts and bolts stuff that you

1553
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: know and come up with opinions. That's very good. That's

1554
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: what it is, you know, That's what it That's why

1555
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: that I didn't know that four am, four AM and

1556
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: six thirty am on Sunday. Our question today, we want

1557
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: your three keys to a Bill's win over the Giants.

1558
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 1: What do you think? Eight O three five fifty toll

1559
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,759
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

1560
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,759
Speaker 1: Tom on the line from the West side of Buffalo.

1561
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Tom, Welcome to the show. Afternoon. Guys. They

1562
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 1: see you're gonna make the Hall of fam eventually. You're

1563
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 1: gonna be going as a senior member. You know, nothing wrong,

1564
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: We're going in. I'm gonna if I go in, it's

1565
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: gonna be posthumously goody, gonna have a picture of your

1566
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: tombstall mark. There you go. Okay, Well, listen, what it is.

1567
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 1: They got to stop Berkeley, and you do that, you

1568
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: gotta have shut down corners, and you gotta have shut

1569
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 1: down just shut down Barkley control the defensive line. But

1570
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 1: the other thing is they gotta protect Josh Allen. So

1571
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: if they protect Josh Allen and open up polls for

1572
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 1: the running game, they're gonna win the game. Yeah, well, yeah,

1573
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: if they can protect the passer and then also run

1574
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: the football. Giants had no sacks last week. They do

1575
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: not rush the passer. Well, I'm not saying it can't happen,

1576
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 1: but there's no evidence they suggest that the Giants can

1577
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: get a pass rush on anybody. Yes, there was wide

1578
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 1: open spaces in the backfield in the secondary last week,

1579
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 1: but there was no pressure at all on deck Prescott. None. Well,

1580
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: when there's yeah, when you got guys running loose, the

1581
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: balls coming out to the open guy and then you're

1582
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:42,680
Speaker 1: not going to get a chance to sack him. That's

1583
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 1: part of the problem that happened to the Giants last week.

1584
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 1: But I think also you got to know too, the

1585
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 1: Giants have a pretty good offensive line. They protected Eli

1586
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: Manning last week, and sae Quon Barkley had what eighty

1587
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: yards rushing last one hundred and twenty yards rushing last week.

1588
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 1: He can get it done. So the offensive line of

1589
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: the Giants maybe much better, and in fact, I think

1590
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: it is much better than the Jets offensive line was

1591
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: a week ago. We're gonna talk with one of those

1592
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, John Hallapio, their starting center. He's gonna join

1593
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: us after we break at the top of this hour

1594
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: at two o'clock. Patrick on the line from Virginia. Hello, Patrick,

1595
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 1: go ahead, and you're on the air with us. Oh hey, John, see, hey,

1596
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: thank you so much for putting me on here. Hold on,

1597
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: let me take you off speaker. Just walking my dog. Okay, Hey,

1598
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: so am I gonna get through all three? You just one?

1599
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: I think the last caller only had one. Go ahead.

1600
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: There are no rules here, Patrick, Oh okay, Well, you

1601
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 1: know the Barkley thing. Everyone gets that certainly got the tackling.

1602
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: They can make sure they tackle him with one guy

1603
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: who two slow them down, you know, because we missed

1604
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of tackles in the last game. But just

1605
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 1: to do a little bit baking against the offensive coordinator here,

1606
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: one play really stood out to me as the long

1607
01:18:56,439 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: bomb by John by Josh, you know why it was

1608
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 1: thrown to Zay Jones. I mean, clearly, you know we

1609
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: have John and we also have Robert Foster on the team.

1610
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,919
Speaker 1: Why not I want to use them for the long passes.

1611
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: We'll got this one. Well, here's the thing. I mean,

1612
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 1: when you get dropped back, you throw to the guy

1613
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: who has got the right coverage at the right time.

1614
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: It's not you can and you can certainly dial it

1615
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: up in the quarterback and say I'm gonna throw to

1616
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: that guy no matter what. But as far as picking

1617
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: a guy that you want to run deep with, I mean,

1618
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: Robert Foster got on the field for like fourteen snaps.

1619
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: A Jones is out there for a reason. They like

1620
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: him better than Robert Foster. So that's why they probably

1621
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: threw it to Zay Jones rather than Robert Foster. Now

1622
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 1: are you talking about John Brown? John Brown had seven

1623
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and twenty three yards, and I'm

1624
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: pretty sure the Jets started looking at him pretty much.

1625
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: And that's why Zay you go to Zay Jones because

1626
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: he's the guy left stand up with single coverage. John

1627
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: Brown's the guy that caught the touchdown pass. So when

1628
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback drops back. They don't tell him who to

1629
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 1: throw too. They tell him what the pattern is, what

1630
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 1: the and didn't look for this coverage. And if a

1631
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: certain coverage happens, you go here. If a different coverage happens,

1632
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,759
Speaker 1: you go someplace else. So it's not they can try

1633
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: and die all that stuff up to go to a

1634
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 1: specific guy, but it doesn't work out like that a

1635
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: lot of the time. And that's one of the reasons

1636
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 1: why they don't throw it to your favorite receiver all

1637
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 1: the time. Jeff and Buffalo on the line with some

1638
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on how to win this game on Sunday. What

1639
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: do you think, Jeff, Hey, two things. I think one

1640
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: the linebacker group covers Markley out of the backfields. Gotta

1641
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,919
Speaker 1: hit him, gotta keep up with him. Tough for Molano,

1642
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: but maybe Edmunds can. The other thing is heels on

1643
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: the ten yard line on the punt catch. Let it go,

1644
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: let it get in the end zone. I think three

1645
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 1: or four months they started within the ten yard line

1646
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: last game and that hurt their offense. Yeah, Lachlan Edwards

1647
01:20:58,320 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: did a good game. Punny you know, I heard an

1648
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: interview on our flagship here a week ago with Micah

1649
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: Hyde who said that heels on the ten yard line

1650
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: rule is no longer applicable in the NFL because of

1651
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 1: the way guys punt. That's our cake. Yeah, that's the

1652
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 1: way it was when I was punting, and then well

1653
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: it kind of changed during the time that that I

1654
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 1: started catching punts or the end of my career because

1655
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: of the AUSI kick, the end over end kick. That's

1656
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: made it impossible for guys to allow that ball to

1657
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 1: land outside the five yard line or so like that

1658
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: if you got to field it. They want to field

1659
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: the punt so that it doesn't bounce even closer down

1660
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:35,600
Speaker 1: to the goal line. The ten yard thing that the

1661
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: way the punters have evolved has started to maximize their

1662
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: ability to back a team up, and it's become a weapon.

1663
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Guys will not kick it into the end zone anymore.

1664
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,799
Speaker 1: They just don't do it very often, and it's become

1665
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 1: and it's one of the bad plays that Bill's Special

1666
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 1: Teams made last week was allowing it to happen to them.

1667
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: Burke has bounced one into the end zone because the

1668
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: guy called for a fair catch moved forward and nobody

1669
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: got their eyes on the kick, so it bounced on

1670
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 1: the three and bounced into the end zone. That was

1671
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: a huge mistake by the Bills. They could have backed

1672
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: the Jets up inside the five yard line by catching

1673
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: that ball, and they were too focused on the return man.

1674
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: So while you're while the special teams did play really

1675
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,600
Speaker 1: well this last week, I thought the one play that

1676
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: got away from him wasn't that they caught the ball

1677
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line. It was the fact that

1678
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: they let the one that we punted bounce inside the

1679
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: five yard line. You got to get to those, you know.

1680
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 1: It is point about tackling Barkley and covering Barkley all

1681
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: valid good points, you know what matchup, but just occurred

1682
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: to me. I did think about it early in the week.

1683
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm really eager to see how much Tremine Edmonds gets

1684
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: to cover sae Quon Barkley gets to try to tackle

1685
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 1: se Quon Barkley. Tremaine in his own way as a

1686
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 1: physical specimen. Yes, Barkley is a gifted runner, like a

1687
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: generational runner. Tremaine is a really good linebacker and is

1688
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: what twenty two years old. This could be a pretty

1689
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: good matchup to watch tomorrow. To think, I'm trying to

1690
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: think of an analogy. Tremaine is like a praying maddess

1691
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 1: and Barkley's like a beatle, you know, hard as rock,

1692
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that's what you're looking at.

1693
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: Your Tremaine is such a specimen. He is big, long

1694
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 1: arm tall, extremely tall, and ranging can run really fast

1695
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 1: when he gets his motor going. And Barkley is like

1696
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: trying to tackle a bowling ball. You know, it's it's

1697
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting matchup. And I don't think and

1698
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:35,799
Speaker 1: I hear people saying, hey, we gotta have one lineback.

1699
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna double Barkley. You're not gonna put mcmlano on

1700
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 1: Barkley one on one unless you're sending pressure and you're

1701
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,679
Speaker 1: gonna do it by a surprise. You gotta cover Barkley

1702
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 1: with two guys. It's gonna take a lot of times.

1703
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: The majority of the time, it takes more than one

1704
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: person to tackle, say Kewan Barkley. You gotta have guys

1705
01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: available to do that, and that means they've got to

1706
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: be in his vicinity when he's got the ball. You

1707
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: can't they spread him out. You can't have you can't

1708
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: have a small corner, even if it's tredavious wide or whatever.

1709
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: You can't have him out there. Barkeley will stiff arm

1710
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: and carry him sixteen yards before help gets there. He'll

1711
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: steamroll him and might get him hurt. So Barkeley's gonna

1712
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 1: get doubled. Don't think they're gonna say Tremaine Edmond is

1713
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 1: gonna cover him. He may, but he's gonna have help. Barkeley'

1714
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: is that good? It's just that simple. He is a

1715
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: weapon that commands a double team all the time. A break,

1716
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: We're back with more talk about this game. Let us

1717
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 1: know your three keys to a Buffalo victory. What would

1718
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: they be? Give us a call. We'll discuss one. Bill's

1719
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 1: Life presented by a Collada Health Life from the Seneca

1720
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 1: Studio in Archerd Park, Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes close.

1721
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 1: Got a busy hour coming up. After the top of

1722
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: the hour, here to a we're gonna talk with. We're

1723
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 1: gonna find out how to pronounce his darn name. First.

1724
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: I think it's John Hallapeo, but we're gonna make sure

1725
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 1: he is the center for the New York Giants. He

1726
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 1: got hurt last year, missed a significant portion played last week.

1727
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: It's pretty decent offensive line. John Hallopeo is going to

1728
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: join us after the top of the hour, and I

1729
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: know how to pronounce this guy's name. Lorenzo Alexander joins

1730
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: us after the top top of the hour as well.

1731
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: For the lowdown, it's our question of the day. We

1732
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: want three keys to a Bills win over the Giants.

1733
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 1: On the tweet sheet, by the way, brought to you

1734
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Steve,

1735
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: you got some tweets to read there people From James,

1736
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: he says, my three are keeping Barkley under one hundred

1737
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: yards pressure Eli and the safeties and linebackers keeping Ingram

1738
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,679
Speaker 1: in front of them. We cannot have linebackers over committing

1739
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 1: on the run. Say Quan is a game changer and

1740
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 1: we'll get better as the game progresses. Go Bills, good point, James,

1741
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 1: and I liked is over commit thing is right on.

1742
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, stay in your lanes right when you're paying

1743
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: a huge force. You know, when you've got a guy

1744
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: like say Quon Barkley, and you gotta think you're gonna

1745
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,679
Speaker 1: have you know, all picture Elon Manny coming out holding

1746
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 1: the ball out of say Quon Barkley. You know they're

1747
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 1: then pulling it back and everybody jumping on a guy

1748
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: who doesn't have the football and then hitting a guy

1749
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: open over the middle. That's yeah, you can just we've

1750
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: seen it all too often we have. Why don't we

1751
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: read one more tweet? All right? One more from Boo

1752
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 1: dot dot keep basally in one keep Beasley involved, two

1753
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 1: passed to set up the run, and three stay disciplined,

1754
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 1: avoid penalties. Does that mean anything passed to set up

1755
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: the run, run to set up the pass. Yeah. I

1756
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 1: think I think it's like kind of like last week,

1757
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: you start out with eighteen passes and you end up

1758
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 1: getting a guy with four carries for seventy yards in

1759
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 1: the second half of the game. Um, that kind of thing.

1760
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 1: So last week they passed to set up the run.

1761
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 1: Thing keeps seven guys in the boxes stead of eight,

1762
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: maybe six guys in the boxes. Set seven and I

1763
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 1: would accept that answer. Phone call here from Joe in Haynestown.

1764
01:26:55,640 --> 01:27:00,640
Speaker 1: Where's Haynestound? Joe, help me out Jamestound, JA Jamestown, It

1765
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 1: says Haynestown on my screen. I know where Jamestown is.

1766
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: Our producer, Jay Harris is a Jamestown guy. He's a legend. Yeah, Yeah,

1767
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 1: go ahead, what's up, Joe. Okay, I'm just gonna kind

1768
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: of read off what I got here, and then I'm

1769
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna hang up. Listen to you guys. Okay. I want

1770
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 1: to say the offensive lines got a little more time

1771
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 1: to get it on. I like to see them step

1772
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,719
Speaker 1: up and protect Josh Allen really good this week. Um.

1773
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:26,640
Speaker 1: And also I want to see him turn some of

1774
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: them uh rushers on that line and open up some

1775
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: holes for the running game, whether it's score singletary running

1776
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 1: the ball. Uh. Secondly, I want to say, Josh Allen

1777
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:38,599
Speaker 1: when he get when he does get his passing chances,

1778
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: he needs to be a little bit more accurate with

1779
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,839
Speaker 1: his passing and take full advantage. Other when he's flushed,

1780
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,600
Speaker 1: he needs to keep his eyes down and field and

1781
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: don't be, you know, be afraid to throw the ball away.

1782
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 1: He showed a little bit more of that last week

1783
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 1: instead of taking the loss. I agree totally. I want

1784
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: to say the defense pressure, pressure, pressure. Uh. They got

1785
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 1: to keep Eli manning off paths and uncomfortable in the

1786
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: pocket all day and you'll make mistakes on his own. Okay,

1787
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 1: good points. I agree about Josh. I thought he did

1788
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: a good job of throwing the ball away when he

1789
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:11,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a play to make. Much better than he

1790
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 1: did a year ago. I think there was a step

1791
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: forward and a little a little thing, but a step

1792
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 1: forward in his game last week. I think so too.

1793
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: I think he made pretty good decisions all the way around.

1794
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: Certainly he got caught not looking and not holding on

1795
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: the football with two hands when they had the first

1796
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 1: fumble in the in the pocket when they were driving,

1797
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: and it's the center exchange with Mitch Morris's a little

1798
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 1: troubling on that fourth and short. Although yeah, yeah, I

1799
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 1: mean they got stuffed on on the quarterback sneak righting

1800
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 1: to play before that, and they started to go forward

1801
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 1: on fourth and I was kind of bummed that, you

1802
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know, I just that's stunk, you

1803
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 1: know that, getting turned it over on downs or as

1804
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: you want to say, not getting the snap. But I'm

1805
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: kind of with Joe on that. Thanks for the call.

1806
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 1: By the way, Joe, the offensive line, I'd like to

1807
01:28:58,160 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 1: see them play better. I'd like to see him come

1808
01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 1: together if that cohesion was something that was missing through

1809
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: the off season or through the preseason. And they played

1810
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: okay this last week. I thought they played well this

1811
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,600
Speaker 1: last seat, last game against the Jets. I'd like to

1812
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: see them progress. Maybe go out and bulldoze some people

1813
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: get their running game going. Maybe you do come out

1814
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 1: in twenty two personnel, two backs, two tight ends and

1815
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 1: a wide out and go, you know, and you come

1816
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 1: out and you run the thing eighteen times to start

1817
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: the game, make some first downs, score some points that way.

1818
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 1: That'd be kind of awesome too. Yeah, that'd be a

1819
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 1: big statement. Well yeah, and especially in that it would

1820
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:36,760
Speaker 1: be different than what they did right. You and I

1821
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: came in here Monday talking about, Hey, they have this

1822
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 1: capability now to throw the ball effectively. The eighteen straight

1823
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,559
Speaker 1: passes passing plays called to start the game. To come

1824
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 1: out and run it a lot would be the other

1825
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:48,040
Speaker 1: side of the coin, which would be good to show

1826
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 1: how versatile they can be. I'm not I'm not saying,

1827
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, they that I don't want to throw the

1828
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it would if they can run the

1829
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 1: ball eighteen straight times to come away with like two

1830
01:29:56,479 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 1: and two nine play drives for touchdowns. Games old because

1831
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 1: if you can't stop the run, you're a defenseless So

1832
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:05,840
Speaker 1: the Giants are would be they'd be booed off the

1833
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: field by their own fans if they gave up. Like so,

1834
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating and make a point, But yeah, they're going

1835
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 1: to come out with a different game plan this week

1836
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: and this is I think this is one of the

1837
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 1: things I'm kind of looking forward to seeing. No question

1838
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: that the eighteen straight passes to start that game was

1839
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:21,920
Speaker 1: part of a plan, part of their study, part of

1840
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 1: the statement they wanted to make, part of what they

1841
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 1: wanted to unfurl with this new offense. Josh is better

1842
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 1: than he was last year. The coaches knew it, and

1843
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:31,640
Speaker 1: they depended on him. We heard Greg co Sill in

1844
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:33,679
Speaker 1: the last segment say, yeah, they you know, they couldn't

1845
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 1: do that last year, and now look at him, they've

1846
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:38,080
Speaker 1: got it. Says that they've got a lot of confidence

1847
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: in their quarterback and he's right to have him break,

1848
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:43,960
Speaker 1: break the formation, have points some people out and make

1849
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,760
Speaker 1: adjustments to the line, go with tempo. That says a

1850
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:48,559
Speaker 1: lot about what they think about Josh and the fact

1851
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,439
Speaker 1: that he played really well while they were doing that

1852
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,760
Speaker 1: says says it too. So now that you and I

1853
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: have said they couldn't do any of this stuff last year,

1854
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 1: they were just they were just trying to get the

1855
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands without having him run right,

1856
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 1: they couldn't. Their game plan was drop back if the

1857
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 1: deep ball's not there, get something, you know. That was

1858
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 1: basically their game plan. That's all the guys they had

1859
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,760
Speaker 1: last year. What's it gonna look like this week? It's

1860
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna be different. Right one o'clock Sunday, Bills and Giants, Hey,

Speaker 1: offensive lineman center for the New York Giants. Started last week,

1922
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:27,640
Speaker 1: started a little bit last year, came up with a

1923
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:29,720
Speaker 1: season ending injury. We'll talk with him about all of

1924
01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 1: that when he joins us and the lowdown will Lorenzo

1925
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:34,240
Speaker 1: Alexander coming up this hour as well. Did not get

1926
01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:37,320
Speaker 1: a chance to talk with Usteve much about the Miami Dolphins,

1927
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,599
Speaker 1: who continue to make news. Mike of Fitzpatrick, a premium

1928
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:43,559
Speaker 1: draft pick eleventh overall just a year ago, had a good,

1929
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 1: solid rookie year for the Dolphins, and he's been given

1930
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 1: permission by the Dolphins to seek a trade. What the

1931
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:51,720
Speaker 1: heck is going on to I know what's going on

1932
01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 1: down there, but come on, really, how much you got

1933
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:57,920
Speaker 1: to dismantle that team? Yeah, here's the sad part about it.

1934
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:01,599
Speaker 1: For if you're a player in the locker room. Certainly,

1935
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 1: Minka Fitzpatrick is a guy who's he's he's a hybrid

1936
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,320
Speaker 1: defensive back, his safety cornerback kind of guy, and they're

1937
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:11,599
Speaker 1: asking him to play different positions slot, corner, outside, corner

1938
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 1: of safety, those kind of things. He doesn't like bouncing

1939
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 1: around like that. But it's it's disconcerting I think for

1940
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room to have a guy

1941
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,760
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to be there. He wants to play

1942
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 1: someplace where he can he can do it. And some

1943
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 1: of it may have to do with the fact that

1944
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 1: the team is not in a position to to get

1945
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 1: to the playoffs this year. There, they don't have expectations

1946
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:34,120
Speaker 1: to do that. They've lost And think about Minka Fitzpatrick

1947
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 1: coming into his second year, he's got to look around

1948
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 1: him think we're not better than we were last year. Um,

1949
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, if Tannehill's gone, and all these were different

1950
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 1: were and the guys that I thought were really good

1951
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:50,519
Speaker 1: players they've let release, they didn't come back. We lost him.

1952
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 1: I think that's a big problem for a young player

1953
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:54,519
Speaker 1: to go in there and think, you know what, it's

1954
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:57,759
Speaker 1: hard enough to play this game when you've got guys

1955
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,440
Speaker 1: you really like and really think you can they can play,

1956
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 1: when you gut the team and none of those guys

1957
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: are here anymore. And I got these new guys. I

1958
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 1: like them well enough, but they can't play, you know,

1959
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 1: or they're not We're not We're not better this year.

1960
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 1: That's hard to bounce back and give the physical effort

1961
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 1: that football demands. I get what you're saying about if

1962
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:16,280
Speaker 1: if he doesn't want to be there, they don't want

1963
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,240
Speaker 1: him poisoning the atmosphere. But the fact that he doesn't

1964
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: want to be there says something about the atmosphere that's

1965
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: been created by the Dolphins by right up to ownership

1966
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 1: and the general manager and the Absolutely, you can't have

1967
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 1: that atmosphere and expect guys who want to stick around

1968
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:32,160
Speaker 1: and stay. Absolutely, And you know, the word tank is

1969
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 1: thrown around all the time. It's pro sports these days.

1970
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Everybody uses it and here's the thing. When it may

1971
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 1: it may work other places in some other sport, I

1972
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:42,880
Speaker 1: don't know, but here's the thing. It doesn't. It's not

1973
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 1: ever gonna work in this sport because this sport commands

1974
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:53,799
Speaker 1: emotional content and physical sacrifice. And if you get an inkling,

1975
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:58,439
Speaker 1: I mean an inkling that the organization is not in

1976
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 1: it one hundred percent to win, you will not give

1977
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 1: the effort and sacrifice that it takes to win consistently.

1978
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 1: At this league. You may get lucky and win a

1979
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 1: couple of games, you may be competitive, but you will

1980
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 1: never never accomplish all the goals that their franchise should

1981
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,040
Speaker 1: have for its fan base. You will never do it.

1982
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:18,479
Speaker 1: You have got to be all in to win, to

1983
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 1: get your players to play their best. That's why it's

1984
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 1: it's such a big issue with the word cultures tossed

1985
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 1: around a lot, because it's a big issue in locker rooms.

1986
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:36,640
Speaker 1: The game commands demands too much from its players physically,

1987
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 1: emotionally and pain tolerance. Twice. You know, you've got to

1988
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 1: be willing to suffer for the guys in and around

1989
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 1: that locker room and for the organization itself, for the

1990
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:49,600
Speaker 1: greater good of all you know, all those guys in

1991
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 1: the locker room, it's to win. And if you're not,

1992
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: if you've got a bunch of guys that aren't willing

1993
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 1: to do that, think about what that means, think about

1994
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 1: how that plays itself out on the field, and then

1995
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 1: you get you know, it's it's very easy to see why, guys.

1996
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm a second year player, I'm pulling

1997
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: the rip cord. Yeah, I got a long way to

1998
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:07,800
Speaker 1: play here. I know I can play. I want to

1999
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:10,120
Speaker 1: play on somebody that actually wants it's on board. And

2000
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:13,559
Speaker 1: I've heard that from coaches on staffs around the National

2001
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 1: Football League that the ownership is not like that. So

2002
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 1: I feel for Menca Fitzpatrick in this situation. And the

2003
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins have no one to blame but themselves. The Dolphins

2004
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: got smoked right by Baltimore last week. What was it,

2005
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 1: fifty ten? I'm looking at ut fifty nine to twenty

2006
01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 1: fifty nine to ten. But here's the thing, and it's

2007
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 1: a weird stat. You know, the Dolphins have won five

2008
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,679
Speaker 1: of the last six times they played the Patriots in Miami.

2009
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I don't know how to explain that. I

2010
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 1: can't I can't figure that out. Bill's got a game

2011
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 1: at the Meadowlands in New Jersey on Sunday one o'clock

2012
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 1: while the Dolphins are playing the Giants, and on the

2013
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:48,799
Speaker 1: line with us right now. The man will be manning

2014
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 1: the center spot for the New York Giants and is

2015
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 1: second years their starting center. We are very happy to

2016
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 1: have John Hallepino Hallepeo. Somebody said Hallepino. John Hallepeo is

2017
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 1: on line with us from from East Rutherford, New Jersey. Hi, John, Thanks,

01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:05,479
Speaker 1: sorry to butch your name. Thanks for joining us after

2019
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 1: practice today. No worries a lot of people mispronounce my name. Yeah,

2020
01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 1: but first thanks John. Hey, I gotta ask you emotional

2021
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:19,639
Speaker 1: return to Dallas for you. Last year you had finally

2022
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 1: after bouncing around practice squads after being in and out

2023
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,600
Speaker 1: of the league, getting a chance to start for the

2024
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: New York Giants early in the season. Last year, you

2025
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 1: lost your season to an injury, and for a guy

2026
01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 1: who had to go through as much as you did

2027
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:34,960
Speaker 1: personally to get on the field in the NFL, it

2028
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: was a crushing injury. And yet here you are. You

2029
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:39,799
Speaker 1: did it. You're back and you're starting for the Giants.

2030
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 1: What does that mean? To you, it means a lot.

2031
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 1: It means a lot that uh that the Giants UM

2032
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:47,240
Speaker 1: had a lot of confidence in bringing me back and

2033
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:50,439
Speaker 1: throwing me back into the first team lineup. UM means

2034
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: a lot that my hard work is not going unnoticed.

2035
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:55,400
Speaker 1: So I'm just excited to be a part of this

2036
01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:57,599
Speaker 1: group and a part of this offense. Was it emotional

2037
01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 1: for you on the field at Dallas last week where

2038
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,559
Speaker 1: you were carded off last year in Week two? Was

2039
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 1: that emotional for you last week to come No? Not really,

2040
01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:08,360
Speaker 1: not really. I was more excited than anything. UM. You know,

2041
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 1: when the schedule first came out, it was a little emotional,

2042
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 1: just you know, thinking about going back to Dallas. UM.

2043
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:16,719
Speaker 1: But when I got there, I was more excited than anything.

2044
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: That was the only emotion I really had on the

2045
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:21,720
Speaker 1: line with John Hallepo. He is in the New York

2046
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 1: Giants starting center getting set to go up against the

2047
01:40:24,160 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 1: Bills this week. UM. Overall, offensively, I know the outcome

2048
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 1: was poor for the Giants this week, but as an

2049
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 1: offensive unit, you guys had to be fairly happy with

2050
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:34,599
Speaker 1: what went down last week. How you moved the ball

2051
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:38,400
Speaker 1: against against the Cowboys defense. I would think, huh, Yeah, Yeah,

2052
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:40,599
Speaker 1: we did pretty when we did some some good things

2053
01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 1: and we didn't we made some mistakes. You know, we

2054
01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:44,679
Speaker 1: just we just got to finish those drives with points.

2055
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: You know, play a game where we the team that

2056
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:50,680
Speaker 1: scores the most points wins the game. So, UM, that's

2057
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 1: something that we look forward to trying to do against

2058
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 1: the Bills defense, and we do. We have a good

2059
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 1: challenge ahead of us. The Bills defense is really good,

2060
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 1: really sound. They can get after the quarterbacks, So we

2061
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,679
Speaker 1: have a challenge ahead. Um for the offensive line. Well,

2062
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 1: when you're in the in the game snapping too, Eli, man,

2063
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 1: and you've got a guy behind you that has you

2064
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:14,599
Speaker 1: won two Super Bowls. Uh, he's an entrenched, solid leader

2065
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 1: in charge of that offense. What's his demeanor? What does

2066
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 1: he bring to the table this year, at this stage

2067
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 1: of his career that gives you, guys, you know, always

2068
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 1: gives you a chance to win. I think it's just

2069
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,840
Speaker 1: his knowledge of the game, to the knowledge that he has, um,

2070
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, to see to see the defense through his eyes. Um,

2071
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, the way he checks different protections into into

2072
01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:40,400
Speaker 1: the blitzes. Um. Things like that you know, really helps

2073
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: us up front. Um, you know, to ultimately protect him,

2074
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's it's been it's been fun

2075
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: so far, and we just got to keep doing it. John,

2076
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 1: what's it like to block for se Quon Barkley? How

2077
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 1: does that feel knowing that you got basically a guycker

2078
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:55,200
Speaker 1: and he hit a home run every time, right, every

2079
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 1: time he touches the ball. Yeah. Yeah, he's a dynamic player,

2080
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, obviously very um you know, he's a dynamic player.

2081
01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:06,479
Speaker 1: You just never know where he's gonna be. And you know,

2082
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 1: something in our room that we always emphasize to stay

2083
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 1: on your blox because you never know when your block

2084
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 1: is going to be that touchdown block for say Quorn.

2085
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 1: So it's very exciting to u, you know, have an

2086
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,439
Speaker 1: opportunity to block for him. People here in Western New

2087
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,120
Speaker 1: York who cheer for the Bills are wondering, you know what,

2088
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,559
Speaker 1: how do you stop a guy like Saquon Barkley who

2089
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 1: seems like he's the ultimate weapon. He can get his

2090
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:29,479
Speaker 1: hands on the ball whenever you guys decide to hand

2091
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 1: it to him. What do teams do most of the

2092
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 1: time that you watch on film, how do teams really

2093
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: what's the philosophy they just put eight nine guys in

2094
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 1: the box and just kind of ways free to give

2095
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:43,479
Speaker 1: it to him. Yeah, that's pretty much it. You know,

2096
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 1: we're seeing more loaded up boxes. You know, he's he's

2097
01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 1: definitely a threat. So you know we do see a

2098
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:53,519
Speaker 1: lot more loaded boxes, um more more so than other teams.

2099
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:56,679
Speaker 1: And rightfully so you know, we have a special player

2100
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:59,200
Speaker 1: back there in the running back John Hallapo our guest

2101
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,320
Speaker 1: giant starting. I want to talk just for a minute

2102
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,320
Speaker 1: or d John about your path to the New York Giants,

2103
01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:06,720
Speaker 1: your path in the NFL M You were a sixth

2104
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 1: round pick of the Patriots right in twenty fourteen and

2105
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:11,160
Speaker 1: then had to make your way around a couple of

2106
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 1: practice squads for a while. Huh correct, yep, yep. I

2107
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:17,160
Speaker 1: was drafted to the New England Patriots. I was out.

2108
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: I was just there till the last cuts for twenty fourteen,

2109
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:23,080
Speaker 1: and then later on in the season I got picked

2110
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:28,760
Speaker 1: up by Denver for practice squad. Twenty fifteen. I was

2111
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 1: released from Denver and then in two thousand and fifteen,

2112
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: I was with Arizona Cardinals training camp. I was just

2113
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:37,639
Speaker 1: a training camp body there and then when I got

2114
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:41,360
Speaker 1: released there that whole entire year of twenty fifteen, I

2115
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 1: wasn't on a team and just working down in Saint Pete, Florida.

2116
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:48,640
Speaker 1: And then twenty sixteen I got another opportunity to go

2117
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: back to New England for training camp as a training

2118
01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 1: camp body, and actually played my best preseason game against

2119
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,679
Speaker 1: the Giants. So when I got released from New England,

2120
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 1: the Giants called me to be up or the practice

2121
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:03,599
Speaker 1: squad and there was a stint in the fx FL.

2122
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:07,160
Speaker 1: What was that? What? What? I don't even remember that league? John, Yeah,

2123
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:09,160
Speaker 1: it was just uh, you know, it was just a

2124
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:12,760
Speaker 1: trying to be trying to be a developmental league for uh,

2125
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 1: for players to continue to perfect their craft in football,

2126
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: and um didn't didn't last very long. Um, the competition

2127
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 1: was okay. It was just something that I was trying

2128
01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 1: to do to stay um in football shape, to hone

2129
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:31,800
Speaker 1: in on my craft, UM versus trying to go to

2130
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 1: arena where where it's not you know, very similar to

2131
01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:37,280
Speaker 1: football with the football rules, you know what I mean.

2132
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 1: So I was just trying to get some more film

2133
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: out there, trying to send it out to teams to

2134
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 1: show them that I'm still active and I'm still playing football.

2135
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 1: You must be proud of that path and how hard

2136
01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 1: you've had to work to make yourself and work your

2137
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:51,600
Speaker 1: way into a starting center spot in the NFL. Absolutely,

2138
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 1: you know it was a long road. Uh. I didn't

2139
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 1: anticipate this road, um to being here, to lead up

2140
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:02,479
Speaker 1: to this to I didn't anticipate it to being like

2141
01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:05,639
Speaker 1: this in college. So, um, you know I'm here now

2142
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 1: and I'm just grateful that I'm here for a great organization. Well,

2143
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:13,920
Speaker 1: if John Halapio saw himself five years earlier, what's the

2144
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:16,439
Speaker 1: biggest difference in your game now than it was back

2145
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:19,519
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen or fifteen. What's the biggest difference now

2146
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:21,960
Speaker 1: that you're a starter in the NFL. What's different about you?

2147
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 1: I think it's just you know, my understanding of the game, Um,

2148
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,760
Speaker 1: understanding how to be a professional in the NFL. I

2149
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:32,599
Speaker 1: think that was the hardest. That was the hardest thing

2150
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:34,160
Speaker 1: for me, was to grasp on how to be a

2151
01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:37,760
Speaker 1: pro um. You know, I thought I could just Uh

2152
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:39,600
Speaker 1: there was little parts of me that I thought I

2153
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:42,479
Speaker 1: could just come in and you know, ease into you

2154
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 1: know that I'll get it right. And uh, you know

2155
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 1: I learned that very quickly that you know, if you

2156
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: don't get it right, you know, the first second, third time,

2157
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 1: you know you're out of there. So it's a cut

2158
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: throat business, and uh, it's very competitive, and you know

2159
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:59,080
Speaker 1: it's the best league in the world. John, you're you're

2160
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,320
Speaker 1: your head coach, Pat Shermer played center in college in

2161
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Does he watch you closer than anybody else

2162
01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:08,760
Speaker 1: on the team? I wonder? Oh yeah, yeah. There's times

2163
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:13,120
Speaker 1: where he's coaching me up, giving me pointers and he

2164
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 1: still does it to this day. So it's cool that

2165
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 1: I could say that my head coach was a former

2166
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 1: center and former offensive linement. There you go, Thanks John,

2167
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Good Lucky. We appreciate your

2168
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 1: time today. Thanks, I appreciate you. Thank you for having me.

2169
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:30,400
Speaker 1: John Hallepeol is the Giants starting center. It's a great story.

2170
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean to bounce around practice squads. What they say,

2171
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,760
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, sixth round pick of the Patriots, although

2172
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 1: they've had some success with six round picks, but a

2173
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:40,920
Speaker 1: sixth round pick of the Patriots in twenty fourteen who

2174
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: bounced around practice squads playing in that development. I hope

2175
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:48,200
Speaker 1: John plays out standing in a losing effort, seem like

2176
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:50,839
Speaker 1: good guy. It cheer for Yeah, they got new bodies

2177
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:53,479
Speaker 1: up front. On the right side. They added Kevin Zeitler

2178
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:56,800
Speaker 1: and free agency the right guard who came over from

2179
01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:59,200
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, Mike Gremmers, who's been around the league a

2180
01:46:59,200 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 1: little bit new starting right tackle, and they have Nate Solder,

2181
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 1: the former Patriot at left tackle. Don't overlook these giants, Steve,

2182
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you again you've been saying after you came

2184
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta play well to beat these guys and

2185
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: their home opener, they're gonna come. They're not happy with

2186
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:18,920
Speaker 1: the way they looked, particularly defensively, and they're gonna fix

2187
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:20,519
Speaker 1: some things and you got to contend with them. We

Speaker 1: to set me up for Jay right there with that one?

2197
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:11,880
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, how he bumped me had a you know,

2198
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:14,760
Speaker 1: a guy from the Giants. I mean, you know, good guy.

2199
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, I'll see him a lot, you know,

2200
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't like at least you could

2201
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:19,560
Speaker 1: have told me who I was getting bumped for it,

2202
01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:21,640
Speaker 1: but I thought he was trying to save itself. And

2203
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:23,600
Speaker 1: once y'all tweeted it out, I said, men, yeah, you

2204
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:26,799
Speaker 1: bought me for the man off the line of the Giants.

2205
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 1: Really you couldn't put him later in the day, but hey,

2206
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:32,920
Speaker 1: it is what it is than a welcome to the

2207
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:35,360
Speaker 1: show regulations trying to win over the Jets. I know

2208
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,680
Speaker 1: it was five days ago, but yeah, everybody's talking about Yeah.

2209
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it was huge for us to be

2210
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 1: able to go out there when your first game, UM

2211
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 1: is always important to really set that tone, um and

2212
01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:47,760
Speaker 1: just start putting games in the bank. You know. It's

2213
01:48:47,880 --> 01:48:50,040
Speaker 1: it's definitely important to win early, and so when you

2214
01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:51,840
Speaker 1: start getting late in the in the in the year,

2215
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:53,880
Speaker 1: you can find yourself in a good position and so

2216
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: that was one we needed a special way. We won

2217
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:57,599
Speaker 1: that game ugly, That's what I was going to ask.

2218
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:00,519
Speaker 1: Certainly it wasn't didn't go well offensively, but now that

2219
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:04,160
Speaker 1: it's over right, that does tell you a little something about, hey,

2220
01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:05,639
Speaker 1: if it is go back, we still got a chance

2221
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 1: to pull us out. We got guys who to resilient,

2222
01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:08,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna bounce. The fact that you know they're gonna

2223
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:10,759
Speaker 1: get it together sooner or later. Well, it definitely showed

2224
01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:12,400
Speaker 1: a lot of growth, you know, from last year to

2225
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 1: this year. I mean last year was in a similar

2226
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: game and we got blown out and you know, turning

2227
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:19,400
Speaker 1: the ball over and our defense wasn't able to get

2228
01:49:19,439 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: them off the field or you know, create turnovers. And

2229
01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, this time around, we were able to stop them.

2230
01:49:25,040 --> 01:49:26,519
Speaker 1: When they did get the turnovers, they didn't get into

2231
01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 1: the end zone. I think they's only scored eight points

2232
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:31,680
Speaker 1: against us, and that a lot of that came in

2233
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 1: the second half, and so we were very fortunate obviously

2234
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 1: playing good defense and we kept ourselves close enough so

2235
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 1: when our offense came alive, we still had an opportunity

2236
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:42,599
Speaker 1: to put points on the board and win the game.

2237
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:45,439
Speaker 1: People see everything that Josh Allen doesn't look at it

2238
01:49:45,479 --> 01:49:48,120
Speaker 1: and inspect it and look at it with a microscope.

2239
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:51,600
Speaker 1: And UM Network TV caught him kind of going up

2240
01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:54,400
Speaker 1: to the defense and getting guys going, what does that

2241
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 1: mean to you? Did you did you notice that Sunday?

2242
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 1: Was that unusual? And I mean when the quarterback is

2243
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 1: concerned with let's get down here and talk to the defense. Yeah, No,

2244
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:03,960
Speaker 1: It's not unusual for him to do that at all.

2245
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's always constantly pumping everybody up. I mean,

2246
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:07,880
Speaker 1: that's why one of the reasons why he's a captain.

2247
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:10,320
Speaker 1: I think he transcends very well with this team, whether

2248
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:13,680
Speaker 1: it's an offense or defense, or young or old on

2249
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:16,680
Speaker 1: this team. And he has great relationships and so he

2250
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 1: has the ability to go and speak life into people,

2251
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: especially once you know, we kick a field goal, we're

2252
01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 1: right there and range and he's like, hey man, let's

2253
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:25,599
Speaker 1: get this thing back so we can win this game.

2254
01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:29,640
Speaker 1: And everybody can feel that energy and obviously responds to

2255
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:32,760
Speaker 1: his voice and his leadership. There were some dark times though,

2256
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 1: in that first half of that game, when he had

2257
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:37,840
Speaker 1: the offense had two successive plays or they end up

2258
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:39,840
Speaker 1: turning over. One was a sax strip fumble after they've

2259
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:41,720
Speaker 1: been driving the ball, moving it, and then they come

2260
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 1: back at the ball the next time after you force

2261
01:50:43,479 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 1: a punt and they tip interception, pick six. Right, that's

2262
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 1: a dark time in the game. I mean, it doesn't

2263
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 1: get worse than that. Yeah, very easy, I mean, and

2264
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot of times you can easily start pointing the finger,

2265
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, like we're doing our job. What's going on

2266
01:50:57,280 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 1: with you guys. But at the end of the day,

2267
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 1: I think the Jets have a very good defense, a

2268
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,719
Speaker 1: lot of playmakers, and they made some players on some balls. Obviously,

2269
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:06,720
Speaker 1: you know when you have a tip drop and you

2270
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:08,720
Speaker 1: know CJ. Mosley just has that in fact that we

2271
01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 1: always seems to be right in the right place Carter

2272
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:14,599
Speaker 1: to make made a play. But I think we always

2273
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:16,720
Speaker 1: felt we were moving the ball and it was some

2274
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 1: self inflicting rute wounds where we didn't execute with good

2275
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:22,679
Speaker 1: ball security or catching the rock, and so we felt

2276
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 1: like it was more us than them. And you know,

2277
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 1: just about the defense standing resilient, keep them off the

2278
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:31,439
Speaker 1: board for the most part, allowed the offense to kind

2279
01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 1: of bounce back. And then you know, when CJ went out,

2280
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:35,719
Speaker 1: the run game really started going off, you know, Devin

2281
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:37,680
Speaker 1: Singletary really opening up some runs and I think that

2282
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:40,080
Speaker 1: opened up the play action game and then put guys

2283
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,200
Speaker 1: on the outside like John Brown and gave him an

2284
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:44,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a play late in the game to

2285
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: go ahead. We noticed it and a lot of people

2286
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:48,720
Speaker 1: said that it was a coincidence And ain't no coincidence

2287
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:51,439
Speaker 1: that they started handing the ball off after CJ. Mosy left.

2288
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, not at all. I mean he's one of

2289
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:55,880
Speaker 1: the premier linebackers in his league. You know, when he

2290
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 1: was in Baltimore ball half always around it, you know,

2291
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: always having over one hundred tackles, and when a guy

2292
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:02,880
Speaker 1: that magnitude goes out of the game, it's a it's

2293
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:05,720
Speaker 1: a big shift and actually played out well for us,

2294
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:07,360
Speaker 1: and really it was able to get our run. Games

2295
01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:10,639
Speaker 1: started with the Wrenso Alexander Bills linebacker talking about last

2296
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 1: week's game. Let me ask you about this week of practice,

2297
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:15,880
Speaker 1: and people got pretty excited about that victory of both

2298
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:17,840
Speaker 1: in and outside of this building. Yeah, I was a

2299
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 1: practice weekend. What was said about calm down this week one?

2300
01:52:20,960 --> 01:52:23,479
Speaker 1: We got more work exactly. I mean that's that's our mindset.

2301
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:24,960
Speaker 1: Each and every week. And you know, we have a

2302
01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:26,920
Speaker 1: I guess a fairly young team, but we have some

2303
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:30,360
Speaker 1: good leadership in there as well. That just making sure

2304
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:34,160
Speaker 1: that guys don't get too high and really too low

2305
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,800
Speaker 1: if we have lost that game, because it is only

2306
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 1: week one, it's a long season. It was great that

2307
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: we were able to overcome a lot of adversity and

2308
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:44,360
Speaker 1: win that, but the way we won is not who

2309
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 1: we want to be at the entire year, because we

2310
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:48,479
Speaker 1: will lose a lot more games than we will win

2311
01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 1: if we continue to play like that. So just getting

2312
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 1: back to the basics. Obviously, as a defensive want to

2313
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 1: continue to rise up, try to figure out a way

2314
01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 1: to get some turnovers. We had that one late, but

2315
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:58,080
Speaker 1: we don't really even count that one with Trent Murphy.

2316
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:01,960
Speaker 1: And then obviously offensively, ball security, be able to finish

2317
01:53:01,960 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 1: off drives, protect the rock and put us at advantageous spots.

2318
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:08,600
Speaker 1: When we talk about field position, that that's going to

2319
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: lead to wins. So you're looking at the New York

2320
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:12,599
Speaker 1: Giants now and you watch them, you watch their table. Yeah,

2321
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:15,639
Speaker 1: now they moved the ball a ton. Yeah they're really good,

2322
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:18,599
Speaker 1: but they got embarrassed on the road this last week.

2323
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean, their defense really looked It was kind of

2324
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:24,080
Speaker 1: the opposite story for the from the Bills. The offense

2325
01:53:24,120 --> 01:53:26,479
Speaker 1: actually moved the ball couldn't, but they couldn't overcome the

2326
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:28,759
Speaker 1: fact their defense was giving up all those guys getting

2327
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:31,880
Speaker 1: over the top. Right, do you don't you expect the

2328
01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:35,000
Speaker 1: Giants come in there just ready, I mean fixed up.

2329
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, I mean it's a home opener for him.

2330
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:40,599
Speaker 1: They obviously want to bounce back. They have a salty

2331
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:43,719
Speaker 1: taste in their mouth, you know, in the media especially,

2332
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:45,559
Speaker 1: I think because the way they lost and they started

2333
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 1: getting down, uh say, quin wasn't able to be featured

2334
01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:50,280
Speaker 1: as much as as as they probably wanted to to

2335
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:52,200
Speaker 1: keep him in the game because I want to say,

2336
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 1: the first three or four plays in that first fifteen

2337
01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:56,760
Speaker 1: he was getting the rock and then obviously he kind

2338
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:59,080
Speaker 1: of faded later in the game. And so we're expecting

2339
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:01,839
Speaker 1: to get you know, uh say, Quon in the beginning,

2340
01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:05,479
Speaker 1: early and late in the game, and so we're gonna

2341
01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:07,880
Speaker 1: have our hands full. I mean, second player of the

2342
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:10,200
Speaker 1: game versus Dallas. Somebody jumps out there gap and he

2343
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:14,120
Speaker 1: goes for sixty, and so he has the ability to

2344
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:17,439
Speaker 1: pretty much very similar to Levion. I think he just

2345
01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:19,479
Speaker 1: has a little bit more juice than Levion once he

2346
01:54:19,479 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 1: gets out in the open. And obviously he's still prime

2347
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:23,040
Speaker 1: because he didn't have a whole year of football off.

2348
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:26,439
Speaker 1: But he is a is a monster, and so we

2349
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 1: have to we have that same mentality this week as

2350
01:54:29,120 --> 01:54:31,600
Speaker 1: far as being disciplined in our gaps, getting off the

2351
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:35,000
Speaker 1: getting off blocks, and have the game tackle him because

2352
01:54:35,280 --> 01:54:38,560
Speaker 1: obviously they call him, what is it, UH say, quad Barkley.

2353
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, so, I mean he guys bounce off him

2354
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:43,160
Speaker 1: when they tackle him, and so you gotta have a

2355
01:54:43,240 --> 01:54:46,000
Speaker 1: multitude of guys getting to him. They want our dbs

2356
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:48,200
Speaker 1: to uh to tackle him as well, to do a

2357
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:50,680
Speaker 1: lot of crack blocking our safeties and make putting him

2358
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:52,840
Speaker 1: on corners, and so corners have to wrap up and

2359
01:54:52,880 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 1: but the guys that are, you know, in the core

2360
01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 1: d lineman linebackers have to rally to the ball and

2361
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 1: help him get him down. For that second play from scrimmage,

2362
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 1: an amazing play not just by sae Quon, but the corner,

2363
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:07,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys corner on the other side of the woozy. Yeah,

2364
01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:09,600
Speaker 1: he chased him down. He read there was some next

2365
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:14,320
Speaker 1: gen stats steven Sick twenty one point something miles around,

2366
01:55:14,360 --> 01:55:16,800
Speaker 1: which is great. The corner ran twenty two points almost

2367
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 1: twenty three miles an hour to chase him down. An

2368
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 1: amazing play by him. Yeah, you know, he had a

2369
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:23,200
Speaker 1: great angle running and I mean it's all about it's

2370
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:24,960
Speaker 1: about effort. I mean, he was fresh. Deal two is

2371
01:55:24,960 --> 01:55:27,360
Speaker 1: the second play of the game. He didn't play point.

2372
01:55:27,440 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 1: He hadn't played quite Yeah, you know, yeah, so, I

2373
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:33,360
Speaker 1: mean it's just a great play. But again, you know,

2374
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:35,080
Speaker 1: the only reason why that play got out is because

2375
01:55:35,160 --> 01:55:37,280
Speaker 1: one of the safeties jumps outside his block. You have

2376
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:40,040
Speaker 1: two guys in the same gap in that ball. I mean,

2377
01:55:40,720 --> 01:55:42,880
Speaker 1: in most cases he's hitting his head on the goal post.

2378
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:44,240
Speaker 1: But obviously they had a guy that could run on

2379
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:45,880
Speaker 1: the other side of they but cut him off with

2380
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:48,400
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander the loaddown. Lorene is gonna give us a

2381
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:50,400
Speaker 1: loadown in a moment. If you have comments or questions,

2382
01:55:50,440 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 1: he can take your calls on the air. Eight three

2383
01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:55,760
Speaker 1: fifty toll free. He won eight eight eight five fifty two.

2384
01:55:56,360 --> 01:55:57,400
Speaker 1: One of the things I want to get back to

2385
01:55:57,440 --> 01:55:59,680
Speaker 1: the Jet game. If you look back at it, looked

2386
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:01,640
Speaker 1: like a great performance by the defense and it was

2387
01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 1: eight points giving up and you held them under you know,

2388
01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:09,560
Speaker 1: two hundred twenty three yards only got all day. If

2389
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 1: you were talking about what you were going to clean up,

2390
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:13,960
Speaker 1: what were you what were you guys not happy with?

2391
01:56:14,840 --> 01:56:17,440
Speaker 1: I would think probably third down. I think we gave

2392
01:56:17,520 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 1: up one too many there, or maybe a couple of

2393
01:56:20,240 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 1: I think where they were seven for seventeen, which is

2394
01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:24,720
Speaker 1: like forty one percent. We want to be down in

2395
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:27,200
Speaker 1: the low thirty range. I think there was a couple

2396
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:29,840
Speaker 1: of players just having some a little bit more of

2397
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:33,960
Speaker 1: awareness of threats by formation, which would have helped us out,

2398
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 1: and some of the calls weren't indicative as well. So

2399
01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean, just as players evolved, coaches want to evolved too,

2400
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:41,640
Speaker 1: to make some more adjustments to maybe within the game,

2401
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 1: maybe fix some of those little things up and then turnovers,

2402
01:56:45,480 --> 01:56:47,800
Speaker 1: figuring out ways to get the ball out and eventually

2403
01:56:47,840 --> 01:56:49,840
Speaker 1: scoring on defense. And so those are the things that

2404
01:56:49,840 --> 01:56:51,200
Speaker 1: we have to be able to do. How big an

2405
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:53,360
Speaker 1: issue was that we've kind of gotten away from talking

2406
01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:57,200
Speaker 1: about it, But it was week one, new defensive coordinator,

2407
01:56:57,320 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 1: new players on their team, new offensive play caller for

2408
01:57:00,440 --> 01:57:02,440
Speaker 1: the Jets. They didn't know anything about what they were

2409
01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 1: gonna look like. I mean, you could say it was

2410
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: like Dolphins last year, but it's a completely different team.

2411
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and it's always hard, so, you know, and

2412
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:10,360
Speaker 1: I even get got confused a little bit, like who

2413
01:57:10,360 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 1: are we playing this week? Because you watch Miami watching

2414
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:15,560
Speaker 1: Jets going back and forth. I don't know suggests the Jets,

2415
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:17,480
Speaker 1: you know. So they did have a lot of those

2416
01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 1: concepts because obviously Gays coming being the head coach, being

2417
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:22,480
Speaker 1: office a coordinator, coming from Miami, a lot of those

2418
01:57:22,520 --> 01:57:25,600
Speaker 1: same concepts, but you have different guys running them, and

2419
01:57:25,680 --> 01:57:28,960
Speaker 1: so everybody has their own flavor. And then you know,

2420
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:31,280
Speaker 1: Gas is a smart coach and so he's going to

2421
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:33,920
Speaker 1: maybe tweak some things that fit his personnel. And so

2422
01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: for the most part, it was all the same. But

2423
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:39,120
Speaker 1: they did make some good adjustments to what we were doing,

2424
01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 1: and that's why they were able to convert on some

2425
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:43,920
Speaker 1: of those third down plays. Lauren Jo Alexander, our guests.

2426
01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:46,120
Speaker 1: It's the lowdown where we go through his ideas on

2427
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:48,360
Speaker 1: what has to be done to produce a victory. And

2428
01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:50,680
Speaker 1: we'll start with the lowdown here and start with who

2429
01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:53,640
Speaker 1: we were just talking about a minute ago. Se Quon Berkeley.

2430
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 1: It says, here, stop Sequon Barkley. Can you stop him?

2431
01:57:57,280 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 1: Or did you can stop him? I mean, and it's

2432
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:03,320
Speaker 1: it's a mindset for for all four quarters, and it's

2433
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:06,800
Speaker 1: really for you know, it's everybody. You know, most of

2434
01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 1: the time we say sopped the run. You think about

2435
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:11,440
Speaker 1: the d line and linebackers. But the way they run

2436
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:14,240
Speaker 1: their game, their scheme is is that they're trying to

2437
01:58:14,280 --> 01:58:17,120
Speaker 1: get say Quon on a corner um. And if you're

2438
01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 1: at home watching this player, you just saw this play

2439
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 1: as the playoffs talking about where the receiver came down

2440
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:23,360
Speaker 1: to crack the safety. He jumps outside and they have

2441
01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 1: the safety and corner out in the same gap. He

2442
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:28,040
Speaker 1: finds that crease. So guys have to stay in their gap.

2443
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:31,040
Speaker 1: Corners have to wrap up tackling high. You really can't.

2444
01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:33,360
Speaker 1: You really can't tackle this guy anywhere but high for

2445
01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 1: the most part because of how big and quick he is.

2446
01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:37,280
Speaker 1: So you jump at his feet, he jumping over you. You

2447
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 1: You hit this quadry bouncing off, and we have to

2448
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 1: populate the ball. And it has to be for all

2449
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:45,560
Speaker 1: four quarters. And um, really um, if we have our

2450
01:58:45,600 --> 01:58:48,160
Speaker 1: offense scoring points where that's why it's a complimentary game,

2451
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 1: similar what Dallas did. Try to phase him out of

2452
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:53,080
Speaker 1: the run game because we're scoring points and they're not

2453
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:54,640
Speaker 1: able to score on us. Did you you must have

2454
01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:57,040
Speaker 1: played against Adrian Peterson in your career. Yes, I've played

2455
01:58:57,040 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 1: against a little bigger or no similar but different this

2456
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:07,840
Speaker 1: guy happen to Yeah, I would more. I think he's

2457
01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 1: more of a Leviyon Bell type. He can cut it back,

2458
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 1: hits the edge. I mean, I think he's more of

2459
01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:16,720
Speaker 1: that that Styllar back ap is more downhill, and but

2460
01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 1: they're all special, they just run a little bit different. Right. Um.

2461
01:59:20,120 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 1: I would say he's just a little bit more patient

2462
01:59:21,640 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 1: than aps. Right, all right, the lowdown continues number two,

2463
01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:27,680
Speaker 1: And we've talked about this. Too hard to win a

2464
01:59:27,720 --> 01:59:30,600
Speaker 1: game when when the offense turns it over four times? Yeah,

2465
01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't happen often. I mean, I'm pretty

2466
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:35,360
Speaker 1: sure if you look at the next gen stats as

2467
01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:37,400
Speaker 1: far as when you turn the ball over four times,

2468
01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:41,360
Speaker 1: we probably had like with a ninety five percent chance

2469
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 1: of winning that game. Using that game, I'm losing. I

2470
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:46,800
Speaker 1: mean I'm losing. Oh yeah, I'm losing that game with

2471
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:51,080
Speaker 1: four turnovers exactly. Then you're throwing up Yeah, then you're

2472
01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:53,960
Speaker 1: throwing up the safety, which I don't know if it

2473
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:56,160
Speaker 1: counts as a turnover or not, but that's a that's

2474
01:59:56,160 --> 02:00:00,920
Speaker 1: a turnover to me. With with points and h yeah,

2475
02:00:00,960 --> 02:00:02,280
Speaker 1: you're just not gonna win a lot of games. And

2476
02:00:02,280 --> 02:00:05,800
Speaker 1: so we were two percenters last week, and so we

2477
02:00:05,800 --> 02:00:10,200
Speaker 1: don't want to We don't want to live in that world, right,

2478
02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:12,000
Speaker 1: we don't want to live in that world all week

2479
02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:15,360
Speaker 1: are all year. So, UM, I know, Josh and the

2480
02:00:15,400 --> 02:00:17,480
Speaker 1: offense is really going to play close attention as far

2481
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,040
Speaker 1: as um taking good care of the ball, especially when

2482
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:22,520
Speaker 1: you're moving at whaling competing to you know, to kind

2483
02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:26,200
Speaker 1: of you know, shoot yourself in the foot. Uh. It's

2484
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:28,280
Speaker 1: even more frustrating because you're like, man, we got these

2485
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:30,760
Speaker 1: guys off balance. And so when you have a drive,

2486
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:34,040
Speaker 1: especially sustaining it, you want to be able to finish

2487
02:00:34,040 --> 02:00:36,040
Speaker 1: them off. And then even if you don't, you have

2488
02:00:36,080 --> 02:00:38,840
Speaker 1: confidence in your defense, let's punt it, play the field

2489
02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:41,080
Speaker 1: position game, and then we'll have expected points on that

2490
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:44,000
Speaker 1: ensuing drive. I'm gonna ask Steve to tell the story

2491
02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:45,880
Speaker 1: he told earlier this week Monday, you might have been

2492
02:00:45,920 --> 02:00:50,840
Speaker 1: even been about your conversation with Peyton Manning about interceptions turnover. Yeah,

2493
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:53,680
Speaker 1: it's great. When I was covering with the league early

2494
02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:56,040
Speaker 1: early in Peyton's career, actually it was about four or

2495
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: five years in. We have a production meeting with him

2496
02:00:58,520 --> 02:01:00,240
Speaker 1: the day before the game and we're asking about last

2497
02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:02,280
Speaker 1: week's game. He threw a pick and stuff and I

2498
02:01:02,320 --> 02:01:04,200
Speaker 1: was asking about and he goes listening. He goes every

2499
02:01:04,240 --> 02:01:10,960
Speaker 1: interception has a story. Nobody wants to hear it, right, Yeah,

2500
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,000
Speaker 1: those trips a little flukey last week. But in the

2501
02:01:13,080 --> 02:01:15,480
Speaker 1: end you're like, yeah, nobody wants to hear it. Man,

2502
02:01:15,520 --> 02:01:18,440
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta live with it. Um, what was

2503
02:01:18,440 --> 02:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I gonna say? I had one thing I was gonna

2504
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:22,520
Speaker 1: ask you about. I wasn't the last lowdown. Oh, it's

2505
02:01:22,520 --> 02:01:25,120
Speaker 1: just about what did you pet? No? No, oh, the

2506
02:01:25,240 --> 02:01:28,720
Speaker 1: third one? The third one? Eli? Yeah, Eli Is always

2507
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:30,440
Speaker 1: comes a card. Now we've got a ton of calls

2508
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:34,200
Speaker 1: like this are We asked everybody else out there, our listeners,

2509
02:01:34,200 --> 02:01:36,280
Speaker 1: to give us their three keys. So now you're giving

2510
02:01:36,320 --> 02:01:38,080
Speaker 1: us your three and you're the same as a lot

2511
02:01:38,080 --> 02:01:40,600
Speaker 1: of theirs. You gotta make Eli uncomfortable. He never looks

2512
02:01:40,680 --> 02:01:43,760
Speaker 1: uncomfortable to me, But you watch him on film, he

2513
02:01:43,800 --> 02:01:46,240
Speaker 1: shows some different things when he starts getting pressured. Yeah,

2514
02:01:46,240 --> 02:01:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's like with any quarterback. I think his

2515
02:01:48,240 --> 02:01:51,400
Speaker 1: quarterback raiding without pressure and I'm not saying blitzing or

2516
02:01:51,400 --> 02:01:53,440
Speaker 1: anything like that. Without pressure in his face, he's like

2517
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,240
Speaker 1: a hundred. You put pressure, whether it's a D line

2518
02:01:56,280 --> 02:01:58,560
Speaker 1: and beating a guy, you make him uncomfortable us to

2519
02:01:58,560 --> 02:01:59,960
Speaker 1: move his feet a little bit, it drops down to

2520
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:02,080
Speaker 1: fifty seven. And so that's what our mind is. Whether

2521
02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:04,960
Speaker 1: we're blitzing on, we're just rushing with four making him

2522
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:07,760
Speaker 1: get off his spot. And obviously he's not a mobile quarterback.

2523
02:02:07,760 --> 02:02:09,400
Speaker 1: He's not gonna run all over the place, so getting

2524
02:02:09,480 --> 02:02:11,720
Speaker 1: him off the SPOTET just been moving him three to

2525
02:02:11,800 --> 02:02:13,760
Speaker 1: five feet to his rider, where his left where he's

2526
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:17,000
Speaker 1: taking his eyes from downfield, and just fall into the

2527
02:02:17,040 --> 02:02:20,560
Speaker 1: ground because he's trying to protect himself because if you

2528
02:02:20,640 --> 02:02:23,000
Speaker 1: don't do that, and and I've been trying to make

2529
02:02:23,040 --> 02:02:25,280
Speaker 1: sure young guys do this because I fail on this

2530
02:02:25,320 --> 02:02:27,160
Speaker 1: when I was in that division for seven years playing

2531
02:02:27,160 --> 02:02:29,040
Speaker 1: against him. When you look at him and the way

2532
02:02:29,040 --> 02:02:31,880
Speaker 1: it cares himself, you're like, I don't I'm quite sure

2533
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:34,320
Speaker 1: if he's that guy. I'm like, na, this dude got

2534
02:02:34,320 --> 02:02:37,600
Speaker 1: two super Bowls now and it is legit and been

2535
02:02:37,680 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 1: his league a long time, has a ton of raps,

2536
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:43,400
Speaker 1: and so he knows how to manipulate defenses. He knows

2537
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:46,120
Speaker 1: how to put his offense in the most advantageous spot.

2538
02:02:46,160 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 1: And so we have to have a mindset because he

2539
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:50,880
Speaker 1: is a you know, a Hall of famer, waiting in

2540
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:54,320
Speaker 1: the wings like you should be. And and so we

2541
02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:56,040
Speaker 1: have to have that mindset of getting him off the spot,

2542
02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:58,640
Speaker 1: getting to him, making him feel us, making him uncomfortable,

2543
02:02:58,960 --> 02:03:01,200
Speaker 1: making him feel like he can go down the field,

2544
02:03:01,200 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 1: and throwing that check down all game and tackling that

2545
02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:05,760
Speaker 1: and that really is the way you have to stop them. Yeah,

2546
02:03:05,800 --> 02:03:07,400
Speaker 1: eli Is waiting in the wings, be a hall of Famer.

2547
02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm in the back alley. Yeah, I'm yeah, man, I'm

2548
02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:11,240
Speaker 1: trying every time I have I'm gonna talk about the

2549
02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:13,680
Speaker 1: thing about it, Think about it. Eli Is. He's got

2550
02:03:13,720 --> 02:03:17,600
Speaker 1: that personality that he never looks flustered. Right, it never looks.

2551
02:03:17,720 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 1: You can't tell it's the big moment. And I think

2552
02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:21,560
Speaker 1: his team kind of feeds off that. I mean, they

2553
02:03:21,560 --> 02:03:24,040
Speaker 1: take a little is a calming on calm breeds calm.

2554
02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:25,920
Speaker 1: You know, that's one of our principles that we have

2555
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 1: here because you know, obviously a football game is hectic.

2556
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,240
Speaker 1: But if you're a leadership, the guy you're looking to

2557
02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:33,680
Speaker 1: is calm, then you naturally breathe that same calmness. Last

2558
02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:35,240
Speaker 1: question before we go to some We got some sound.

2559
02:03:35,320 --> 02:03:37,880
Speaker 1: Have you ever had if you had mac and cheese lately? Yeah,

2560
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:39,520
Speaker 1: I've had a little bit of maca you might keeps

2561
02:03:39,560 --> 02:03:41,080
Speaker 1: it all the time. You know, after Dean said, we

2562
02:03:41,160 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 1: had to say, they had to go stir me something

2563
02:03:42,720 --> 02:03:45,160
Speaker 1: up too, you know, nice and slow takes a while,

2564
02:03:45,200 --> 02:03:51,160
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, stir that thing up, crafty.

2565
02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Let's hear this. This is great if you think about it.

2566
02:03:55,960 --> 02:03:58,400
Speaker 1: It's like a train. You gotta all that train up.

2567
02:03:58,520 --> 02:04:02,560
Speaker 1: You gotta start that engine. You gotta start off slow,

2568
02:04:02,680 --> 02:04:04,520
Speaker 1: and then that thing opens up and you're gone. And

2569
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:07,680
Speaker 1: that's exactly and what happened. You start off. Just keep turning,

2570
02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:10,280
Speaker 1: keep turning and keep turning. If you're making immac and cheese,

2571
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:12,480
Speaker 1: start that mac and cheese up, Start that immac and

2572
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 1: cheese up. Eventually the mac and cheese gonna be nice juice.

2573
02:04:16,080 --> 02:04:21,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying I didn't know that. Yeah, Yeah,

2574
02:04:21,600 --> 02:04:25,880
Speaker 1: it's funny. Man, how excited he he was stoked after Yeah,

2575
02:04:25,920 --> 02:04:27,800
Speaker 1: and then it was post game, so he was hungry too,

2576
02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:30,200
Speaker 1: that's right. Cheese, you know, I got he had to

2577
02:04:30,200 --> 02:04:35,520
Speaker 1: eat something. That's the fact. I'm hungry man and cheese

2578
02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:38,880
Speaker 1: and the last thing for me. Going back to the

2579
02:04:38,920 --> 02:04:45,160
Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium, same hotel, same pregame. It's gonna feel really familiar, right,

2580
02:04:45,200 --> 02:04:46,520
Speaker 1: and that's what I like about it. You know, it's

2581
02:04:46,520 --> 02:04:48,880
Speaker 1: a quick trip, so it's not just elongated trip. You know,

2582
02:04:48,920 --> 02:04:51,360
Speaker 1: forty five minutes there back, probably in the same room,

2583
02:04:51,880 --> 02:04:54,520
Speaker 1: same routine, your breakfast, feel the same way. Obviously, want

2584
02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:57,680
Speaker 1: a different uh um outcome once we get on the

2585
02:04:57,680 --> 02:05:00,480
Speaker 1: field as far as how we played initially, but I

2586
02:05:00,640 --> 02:05:03,120
Speaker 1: want the same outcome and resulting in the w I'm

2587
02:05:03,120 --> 02:05:08,320
Speaker 1: over the same room. I left some stuff in there, Yeah,

2588
02:05:05,640 --> 02:05:10,760
Speaker 1: I left everything. Lorentzo, thank you. Great to have you

2589
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:15,600
Speaker 1: here with us anytime, yea, Lorenzo Alexander with a Lowdown.

2590
02:05:15,600 --> 02:05:17,640
Speaker 1: It comes to us every Friday during the regular season.

2591
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:21,640
Speaker 1: The Lowdown presented by Hutches redefining City dining, Steve and

2592
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:23,960
Speaker 1: I coming back with more. One Bill's line presented by

2593
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:27,600
Speaker 1: kalidah Hell from the Seneca Studio. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2594
02:05:47,880 --> 02:05:49,800
Speaker 1: So what do we learned from today's show. It's always

2595
02:05:49,800 --> 02:05:51,600
Speaker 1: a good question. We had a good show today. Carl

2596
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:54,960
Speaker 1: Banks joined us briefly earlier today the color analyst I'm

2597
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:58,280
Speaker 1: the Giants Radio Network Farmer. Giants linebacker Carl Banks talked

2598
02:05:58,280 --> 02:06:00,600
Speaker 1: about how the Giants are looking at the Bill this week.

2599
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:07,120
Speaker 1: They can't stop talking enough about, you know, the physicality

2600
02:06:07,120 --> 02:06:10,600
Speaker 1: of the defense, the different looks that they get, and

2601
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:15,920
Speaker 1: then having Nate Solder on the team, he has, i

2602
02:06:15,960 --> 02:06:20,400
Speaker 1: mean spoken glowingly and with high regard for the Bills

2603
02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 1: defense because he's played it when he was in New England.

2604
02:06:23,320 --> 02:06:28,480
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any element of them not

2605
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:34,440
Speaker 1: taking the Bills as good as a good defense. So offensively,

2606
02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: you look at the quarterback and he does a lot

2607
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:41,080
Speaker 1: of good things. I mean, he sees a threat with

2608
02:06:41,120 --> 02:06:43,160
Speaker 1: his legs. He's got one of the biggest arms in

2609
02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:46,480
Speaker 1: the league. So and then he's got two really good

2610
02:06:46,520 --> 02:06:50,640
Speaker 1: running backs and a good offensive scheme. Carl Banks and

2611
02:06:50,680 --> 02:06:53,000
Speaker 1: the Giants look at the Buffalo Bills. There opponents this week,

2612
02:06:53,040 --> 02:06:55,680
Speaker 1: we had Greg Cosell I'm with us. At one o'clock today,

2613
02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:58,080
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell came away from the Bills Jets game with

2614
02:06:58,120 --> 02:07:01,240
Speaker 1: a very positive impression of quarterback Josh Allen. Here's what

2615
02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:05,280
Speaker 1: he said, very impressed. You know what I found very

2616
02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:09,600
Speaker 1: fascinating was their first eighteen plays through their first three possessions,

2617
02:07:09,640 --> 02:07:14,000
Speaker 1: guys were called passes. Very interesting game plan, and I

2618
02:07:14,040 --> 02:07:17,840
Speaker 1: thought Josh was poised, composed. The game was not too

2619
02:07:17,880 --> 02:07:20,800
Speaker 1: fast for a mentally. I liked the kinds of throws

2620
02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:23,480
Speaker 1: they asked him to make. They were short throws, they

2621
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:25,960
Speaker 1: were timing throws, the kinds of throws that we always

2622
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:28,920
Speaker 1: talked about that he had to do better in order

2623
02:07:28,960 --> 02:07:32,000
Speaker 1: to become a consistent quarterback. I thought, for the most part,

2624
02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:35,800
Speaker 1: he was pretty accurate, good ball placement. These were throws

2625
02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:38,720
Speaker 1: that demanded pace and touch, and he made these kinds

2626
02:07:38,720 --> 02:07:41,840
Speaker 1: of throws. I it was kind of interesting and fun

2627
02:07:41,880 --> 02:07:44,240
Speaker 1: to watch. It was fun, and maybe it'll be fun

2628
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:46,280
Speaker 1: this week too. The Bills and the Giants one o'clock

2629
02:07:46,360 --> 02:07:49,480
Speaker 1: kickoff at the same places, meant Life Stadium. Lorenzo made

2630
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:50,880
Speaker 1: a good point. See we got a minute or two

2631
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:53,960
Speaker 1: left here, and I was thinking about this today this

2632
02:07:54,080 --> 02:07:57,160
Speaker 1: morning yeah, it's two straight road games to start the year,

2633
02:07:57,200 --> 02:07:59,000
Speaker 1: and normally be like, oh man, we gotta start with

2634
02:07:59,040 --> 02:08:01,840
Speaker 1: two straight down the road. These really could not be

2635
02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:03,560
Speaker 1: a better set up. If you got only two in

2636
02:08:03,560 --> 02:08:05,200
Speaker 1: a row on the road. You're going to the same place,

2637
02:08:05,480 --> 02:08:08,320
Speaker 1: it's a forty five fifty minute flight, you're checking into

2638
02:08:08,360 --> 02:08:10,680
Speaker 1: the same hotel. The bus times are the exact same

2639
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 1: times they were a week ago. If you got to

2640
02:08:12,400 --> 02:08:13,960
Speaker 1: play two in a row on the road, this could

2641
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:16,080
Speaker 1: not be any easier. The only way it could be

2642
02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:17,840
Speaker 1: better is if they flip flop the games and had

2643
02:08:17,880 --> 02:08:19,720
Speaker 1: the one that was out of conference out of division

2644
02:08:19,800 --> 02:08:22,200
Speaker 1: first because it was you know, it's a less meaningful game,

2645
02:08:22,280 --> 02:08:23,800
Speaker 1: and then played the Jets. And it would have worked

2646
02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:28,720
Speaker 1: out better too, because the Giants played horribly on Week one,

2647
02:08:29,240 --> 02:08:32,160
Speaker 1: and then this week two, Darnold's out of the lineup.

2648
02:08:32,720 --> 02:08:35,640
Speaker 1: He got all these guys are for the Jets. It

2649
02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:37,720
Speaker 1: turned out all right, It turned out all right. Yeah,

2650
02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:39,800
Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna be a better team that I

2651
02:08:39,800 --> 02:08:41,760
Speaker 1: think this weekend than they were last weekend. Though the

2652
02:08:41,880 --> 02:08:45,120
Speaker 1: injury reports are out for each team, Tarren Johnson will

2653
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:47,800
Speaker 1: not play for the Bills, injured his hamstring last week.

2654
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:50,880
Speaker 1: The Bill's nickel corner. I would look for Sir and

2655
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:53,840
Speaker 1: Neil to fill in there at the cornerback spot. That's

2656
02:08:53,880 --> 02:08:56,760
Speaker 1: just my guests. Also out of the games wide receiver

2657
02:08:56,880 --> 02:08:59,480
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts with his quad muscle. It'll be his second

2658
02:08:59,520 --> 02:09:04,000
Speaker 1: Consett missed game. The Bill's a primary return specialists not

2659
02:09:04,080 --> 02:09:06,240
Speaker 1: expected well, he won't play. He has listed is out.

2660
02:09:06,360 --> 02:09:08,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft tight end is questionable for the game. Limited

2661
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:11,920
Speaker 1: practice all week long. The broken foot suffered way back

2662
02:09:11,960 --> 02:09:14,880
Speaker 1: in the spring coming along. Don't know if he'll play again.

2663
02:09:14,920 --> 02:09:17,640
Speaker 1: He is questionable fifty fifty. We'll see. I'd be surprised

2664
02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:20,680
Speaker 1: if he played. Levi Wallace, who left practice earlier yesterday

2665
02:09:20,720 --> 02:09:24,760
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. Limited in practice yesterday with the

2666
02:09:24,760 --> 02:09:27,160
Speaker 1: ankle injury yesterday, full today. He's not even on the

2667
02:09:27,160 --> 02:09:28,880
Speaker 1: injury list. So that's a good sign. There you go

2668
02:09:29,200 --> 02:09:32,640
Speaker 1: and walked it off. Giants game status is for Sunday.

2669
02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:36,720
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Sterling Shepherd is out with a concussion. Wide

2670
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:40,520
Speaker 1: receiver Darius Layton is out with a hamstring. He's a rookie.

2671
02:09:40,760 --> 02:09:44,760
Speaker 1: Wide receiver. Cody Latimer is questionable with a calf muscle.

2672
02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:48,280
Speaker 1: Tight End Garritt Dickerson is out with a quad muscle

2673
02:09:48,360 --> 02:09:52,560
Speaker 1: so Latimer questionable. Shepherd is out, Darius Layton is out,

2674
02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:56,640
Speaker 1: leaving the Giants with these receivers Benny Fowler, Russell Shepherd,

2675
02:09:57,200 --> 02:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Cody core Uh and t J. Jones just resigned to

2676
02:10:02,040 --> 02:10:05,560
Speaker 1: the roster on Wednesday. Four receivers healthy for the Giants.

2677
02:10:05,840 --> 02:10:08,240
Speaker 1: One of them just added to the roster Wednesday after

2678
02:10:08,320 --> 02:10:09,920
Speaker 1: having a good training camp with him cut on the

2679
02:10:09,920 --> 02:10:15,400
Speaker 1: final cutdown. This means something, right, it means something. It

2680
02:10:15,480 --> 02:10:19,200
Speaker 1: does mean something. Those receivers are. I mean, yeah, you

2681
02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:21,120
Speaker 1: don't want to go there, because this is exactly the

2682
02:10:21,200 --> 02:10:22,800
Speaker 1: kind of play. This is the kind of place where

2683
02:10:22,880 --> 02:10:27,440
Speaker 1: teams rally around these guys. Everything's going against them, and

2684
02:10:27,480 --> 02:10:29,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna like rise up. They were embarrassed last week.

2685
02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:31,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna come They're gonna come out and on their

2686
02:10:32,040 --> 02:10:38,640
Speaker 1: home opener. This is a disaster waiting tell you to

2687
02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:41,360
Speaker 1: show up. Man, you gotta show up. You definitely do.

2688
02:10:41,440 --> 02:10:43,080
Speaker 1: You gotta play up and you gotta play well now.

2689
02:10:43,200 --> 02:10:45,560
Speaker 1: I think Greg co Sell when we had him on

2690
02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:47,720
Speaker 1: earlier today, he said it the right way. He said, listen,

2691
02:10:47,720 --> 02:10:50,080
Speaker 1: you just gotta forget about what they did their ten

2692
02:10:50,240 --> 02:10:52,000
Speaker 1: is all that. Just come out and work on what

2693
02:10:52,040 --> 02:10:55,400
Speaker 1: you need to work on. Play your game, play the

2694
02:10:55,480 --> 02:10:57,720
Speaker 1: game the way you want to. Let your guys do

2695
02:10:57,760 --> 02:11:00,480
Speaker 1: what they do best, and see if the Giants can defended.

2696
02:11:00,880 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 1: See if the Giants can handle your your defensive front,

2697
02:11:03,720 --> 02:11:06,120
Speaker 1: See if say Kwan Bargler can make Hey against your defense.

2698
02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:08,920
Speaker 1: But play your game, and you know you're this early

2699
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:10,600
Speaker 1: in the week, you don't really have a great handle

2700
02:11:10,640 --> 02:11:12,480
Speaker 1: on what these teams are doing. Particularly the way the

2701
02:11:12,480 --> 02:11:15,440
Speaker 1: Giants played last week. There were certain guys who study films.

2702
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:18,280
Speaker 1: They couldn't tell what coverages these guys were playing. They

2703
02:11:18,280 --> 02:11:21,040
Speaker 1: were so out of sync. You can't count on that

2704
02:11:21,080 --> 02:11:23,640
Speaker 1: to happen again. You got to play the guys as

2705
02:11:23,680 --> 02:11:25,760
Speaker 1: if they're going to play their best, and it's hard

2706
02:11:25,760 --> 02:11:27,280
Speaker 1: to get a handle on what that is. So I

2707
02:11:27,320 --> 02:11:30,280
Speaker 1: think the bills, the game plans, you know what we

2708
02:11:30,360 --> 02:11:32,240
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be. I like the way we look

2709
02:11:32,240 --> 02:11:34,840
Speaker 1: when we do this, this, this and this, let's do

2710
02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:37,520
Speaker 1: that stuff and let's see let the chips fall where

2711
02:11:37,560 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 1: they make. But you know you're gonna get a full

2712
02:11:39,320 --> 02:11:42,280
Speaker 1: effort from the Giants. Oh yeah, I'm thinking you're gonna

2713
02:11:42,320 --> 02:11:45,800
Speaker 1: get an emotional outbursts. You got to really come in

2714
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:48,600
Speaker 1: there ready to go. So with all that said, and

2715
02:11:48,640 --> 02:11:50,880
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you've said, and knowing who's in

2716
02:11:50,960 --> 02:11:54,000
Speaker 1: who's out a little bit, we need a prediction. Last

2717
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:56,600
Speaker 1: week I went with seventeen thirteen Bills. I missed it

2718
02:11:56,640 --> 02:11:59,160
Speaker 1: with seventeen sixteen Bills. This week, I'm going with twenty

2719
02:11:59,160 --> 02:12:02,320
Speaker 1: seven to four Bills on top over the Giants. That's

2720
02:12:02,360 --> 02:12:04,760
Speaker 1: a comfortable margin on the road. They are favorite on

2721
02:12:04,800 --> 02:12:07,520
Speaker 1: the road, which is unusual for the Bills, but I

2722
02:12:07,560 --> 02:12:10,040
Speaker 1: think they win comfortably this week. Given the set up

2723
02:12:10,080 --> 02:12:17,680
Speaker 1: for this game, I'm saying twenty two sixteen Bills. That's close.

2724
02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:19,720
Speaker 1: Twenty to sixteen Bills. Yes, it's close. I think it's

2725
02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:21,480
Speaker 1: going to be a very close game. I think it's

2726
02:12:21,480 --> 02:12:24,520
Speaker 1: hard to go into a road opponent on their home

2727
02:12:24,520 --> 02:12:27,520
Speaker 1: opener and win in a large fashion. I think the

2728
02:12:27,560 --> 02:12:30,160
Speaker 1: Bills are a better team right now after one week.

2729
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:33,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not saying they're way, way, way better.

2730
02:12:33,320 --> 02:12:34,880
Speaker 1: I think they're a little better, and they got to

2731
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:37,240
Speaker 1: play more mistake free than they did last week or

2732
02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:40,440
Speaker 1: they will lose. So I'm saying twenty to sixteen. Patriots

2733
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:43,720
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins Sunday one o'clock, the same time we

2734
02:12:43,840 --> 02:12:46,000
Speaker 1: talked earlier the record. The Dolphins have won five of

2735
02:12:46,040 --> 02:12:48,720
Speaker 1: their last six home games against the Patriots, and yet

2736
02:12:49,120 --> 02:12:51,560
Speaker 1: this one has the look of a disaster right for Miami.

2737
02:12:51,640 --> 02:12:54,800
Speaker 1: I think, oh, yeah, right, Yeah, they got guys wanting

2738
02:12:54,840 --> 02:12:57,640
Speaker 1: out of there, and yeah, and Bill Belichick knows that

2739
02:12:57,680 --> 02:13:01,440
Speaker 1: they haven't won down there, and yeah, they're matt Yeah.

2740
02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:05,520
Speaker 1: When one game for Fuel four twenty five out west

2741
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:08,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday, the Rams home against New Orleans. I'm gonna

2742
02:13:08,880 --> 02:13:11,400
Speaker 1: win New Orleans here. I like. I love the way

2743
02:13:11,440 --> 02:13:14,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans one. Was it Monday night? Yeah, it was

2744
02:13:14,120 --> 02:13:16,080
Speaker 1: Monday night against Houston. I think New Orleans is for

2745
02:13:16,120 --> 02:13:18,040
Speaker 1: real again, and I think they'll take that on the

2746
02:13:18,120 --> 02:13:19,680
Speaker 1: road and win it. Now. I'll take the home team.

2747
02:13:19,680 --> 02:13:21,120
Speaker 1: I think the Ram is gonna win. I think they've

2748
02:13:21,120 --> 02:13:23,640
Speaker 1: got something to prove about. You know what happened in

2749
02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:26,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They're probably sick of hearing they didn't

2750
02:13:26,560 --> 02:13:28,080
Speaker 1: deserve to be there, and they're going to prove it

2751
02:13:28,080 --> 02:13:30,120
Speaker 1: against the Saints on Sunday. All right, we'll see him
