25
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: get ready for the opener. Marvel Duh had a way

26
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: with words. But that is one of his greatest right

27
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: when you think about it, and it's I use that

28
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: a lot. I think about that a lot in a

29
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: variety of different circumstances, like wow, look at this just happened,

30
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: or would you rather be He's right, Yeah, it's a

31
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: psych video. The people on MSG got a chance to

32
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: see the video that goes with it. I would encourage everybody,

33
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: all the Bills fans everywhere, to go watch that. I

34
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: I watched this morning. Got choked me. I got choked up.

35
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: It is awesome. Man, are you kidding me? That was awesome.

36
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: It was great. And there's so much that that goes

37
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: with being a Bills fan, a person that grew up

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: and lived in Buffalo and for me, a guy who

39
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: was transplanted here over thirty years ago. The kind of

40
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: you know now has become part of the furniture. It's yeah,

41
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: it's just pretty awesome this time of year, and particularly

42
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: on a year like this, they come long all too

43
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: infrequently when there's such optimism, such high hopes. You got

44
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: a cup, you got a bunch of guys on the

45
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: team that you really like, that you really love, and

46
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: players that you're calling by their first name again you know,

47
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: Josh and Ed and Tremaine, and you know, it's pretty cool.

48
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool, and that that video was awesome. Yeah,

49
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: this is always my favorite day of the season, you

50
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, the Friday before the open. No

51
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: matter how what the expectation level is for the team,

52
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: there's always hope today. And it's not just here in

53
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo obviously, thirty one or maybe thirty other cities, maybe

54
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: the exception of Chicago today, thirty other cities feel the

55
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: same way, like this could be it, this could be

56
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: the year. And that kind of hope, that kind of

57
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: excitement that is contagious. It's infectious, and it is throughout

58
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: this building. We are in here at one build dry

59
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about that game or this game Sunday.

60
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about this season with you today. But

61
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait. The only thing Steve the only only, only,

62
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: only only thing that can make it a little bit

63
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: better if the game were a home game Sunday, you

64
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean, we'll get this again. In two

65
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: weeks we'll have excitement and maybe the bills are two

66
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: and oh. In two weeks we'll have the excitement of

67
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: a home opener and all that that means. And by

68
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: this time, in two weeks from today, we'll have campers

69
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: parked outside right and people get tailgating all ready for

70
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: a game forty eight hours away. But that is that

71
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: is another pregame rush, if you will, do you know,

72
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: another pregame rush of excitement and emotion. We're feeling it

73
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: today though I think I think all of us here

74
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: in the building are today. Yeah, it's after today. When

75
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: those guys walk off the field today, it's you know,

76
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: kind of that mentality of haze in the barn. You know,

77
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: there's not much you can do now to get more

78
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: ready than you are. And that's a that's kind of

79
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: an empowering feeling for players and I think fans too.

80
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean, let's go, you know, let's we saw that

81
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: game last night. We'll get it. We'll talk about the

82
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: Bears Packers game last night. There's a lot of stuff

83
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: flying around, a lot of opinions today about how that

84
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: game looked and went. We're going to talk about all

85
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: that as well. I mean that I watched every snap

86
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: of the Bears Packers last night, and you I was.

87
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: It's rare that I'm begging for the fourth preseason game again.

88
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: But the fourth preseason game we had was better than

89
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: the Bears Packers last night. It was awful talking about it,

90
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: and we do have to talk about this. What if?

91
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: What if that's the uh the look of this first

92
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: week of the regular season. I hope it's not. I

93
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: pray it's not, especially for the game of MetLife on

94
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: Sunday in one, but oh it is and a road

95
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: team wins. No, I don't want to sit through a

96
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: game like that. It was terrible. It was It's a

97
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: hard game to call. We'll talk about that game as

00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: And we want to get a sense from you, and

137
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,800

138
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: season now with our regular season schedule. I want to

139
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: get a sense from you about where this team is

140
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: at and what kind of a season you expect. As

141
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 1: I said just a minute ago, no matter what you expect,

142
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: there is excitement when a season begins, and that video

143
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: piece put together by the folks here at PSC kind

144
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: of captures that perfectly. With Marvel lee be talking about

145
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: where would you rather be? The sixty years, the highs

146
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: and lows, the bond between the community and the team.

147
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean, those are those are strong words. I don't

148
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: know if you can. You can try to do that

149
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: in other NFL cities, but I don't know if it

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: has the same meeting as it does here in Buffalo.

151
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: I've seen this in the years that I was covering

152
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: the National Football League all over for CBS, going to

153
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: different city every week, in different NFL city every week.

154
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: And let's be real, I mean, all the cities are

155
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: unique and different. They all have their plus is in mind.

156
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: This is some and they're but they're all unique and

157
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: they're all different. And Buffalo is unique in a number

158
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: of ways that allow this fan base not only to

159
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: embrace its team in a in a more close knit way,

160
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: but also embrace each other as fans in a more

161
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: close knit way and also know that there are things

162
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: about this city and the relationship it has with this team,

163
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: and the geographic region that it sits in, and the

164
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: history behind it that run really deep. Not that there

165
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: are other aren't other franchises where the fandom runs deep

166
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: as well, But it's a unique relationship not only between

167
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: the fans and the team, but the fans and each other.

168
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Uh and and it's ongoing, and it's something that they

169
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: take great pride in being a fan of this team.

170
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: There's a lot to be you know, I don't know,

171
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: there's just a lot to share. Yeah, I guess is

172
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: basically what I'm saying. And there are certain things that

173
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: aren't part part of the larger consciousness of the country

174
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: that Bills fans know as part of you know, part

175
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: of the family, as part of the family history, right

176
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: you know. And yeah, it's not the it's not for

177
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: public knowledge, but we in the family, we know about

178
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: that stuff, right. It's stuff like that. So it and

179
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: when you hear Marv come on this video that they

180
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, this video for the kickoff of the sixtieth

181
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: season of the team and the hundredth year of the NFL,

182
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: it hits a lot of Yeah, it checks a lot

183
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: of boxes. Yeah, can we play it once more with

184
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: that for you overkill? I think I like it better

185
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: than the first time I saw it. I've seen it twice.

186
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Now let's do it one more time. And if you're

187
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: listening on the radio, you can you can pick up

188
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: on the kind of the highlights that are coming and

189
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: and Marv's narrative it's pretty good with some play by

190
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: play calls. Let's do it once more. Here's the sixtieth

191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: the start of the sixtieth anniversary for the Bills. The

192
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: video put up on the Bill's website today. It's been

193
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: quite a journey sixtieth season. We've seen it all the AFL,

194
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: the AFC, the Bill are in the super from Jack,

195
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: the Jim, the Josh and so many more. Bills give

196
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: everything they have and they received even more. Here we go.

197
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: This isn't just a team, it's a community banded together.

198
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: We push and we persevere. Is fantastic. We've carried each

199
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: other from good time and tough break. I know I've

200
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: never felt for love. Right now, at the end of

201
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: every hint, we rise and fight again. That tenacity, sacrifice

202
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: strain Ashon is ingrained in Buffalo and in its people.

203
00:10:53,640 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: Let's go, God, You're gonna knock their ass off. So

204
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: after sixty years, I'll still saying, where else would you

205
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: rather be than right here right now. Sixty years is

206
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: a long time, but Mark's right, you know that the

207
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: fact that the Bills still maintained and maybe maintained this

208
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: hole on the community more than ever, I think is

209
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: really significant. It's not like this in every NFL city.

210
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: It's and it's been a hard road over the last

211
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: decade or two, two decades. You know, it's been hard.

212
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: It hasn't been easy. There's been some ups, and there's

213
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: been some cool moments, no question about it, and some

214
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: stuff we've all enjoyed together. One of the great moments

215
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: of all was the two years ago when this team

216
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: broke the route. I told all the old guys that

217
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm you know, my buddies on the five President's tex Loop.

218
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: Isn't one of the great moments in franchise history because

219
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: we all shared it together. You know, Thurman was standing

220
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: on some table in the in the concourse in Miami

221
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: Stadium when we all watched them good into the playoffs together.

222
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. It was a moment that unlike

223
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: any other. And you go back to the moments with

224
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: the comeback game and wide right and the home run throwback,

225
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. You know, the Kyle Williams touchdowns.

226
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: You know that all of the things that, you know,

227
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: getting a win last year in New York against the

228
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: Jets with Matt Barkley, who has become now you're kind

229
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: of a pillar of the community here in the locker room.

230
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: But right, he's kind of a guy here in the

231
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: locker room. Now for those of you who don't know,

232
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: he's he's a fixture and u Guys have come and

233
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: guys have gone. But it you know, the one thing

234
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: that has been constant has been the relationship between this

235
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: town and this city. And you know the how they

236
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: all feel about it. You know how it what it

237
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: has meant over this of course of this you know,

238
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: the last sixty years. Yeah, and it's sixty years, and

239
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those you stand here now and

240
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: every you can say this at any point in history,

241
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: but you stand here in the present moment and look backwards,

242
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: it's easy to see how cool it's been. Yeah, but

243
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: let's face it. You know, we got a hard season ahead. Yeah,

244
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, we got some stuff going on here. We

245
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: got high hopes, but we've all had our hopes dashed before.

246
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: But you know, we know what it's like to suffer

247
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: through it. But there's nothing like today, right, you know,

248
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: you're right, you know you wouldn't. You wouldn't. You're not

249
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: bailing out on it today. You're jumping on board. You're

250
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: jumping on board today. That's a fun part about it, man.

251
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's reaching off the bandwagon, pulling their friends on. Let's

252
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: go right. Today, two days before the start of the

253
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: sixtieth season is the day for hope and the day

254
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: and we're talking about that hope and that expectation. So

255
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today, it is a poll how many

256
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: it's simple and the simple ones are the best ones.

257
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: How many wins do you predict for the twenty nineteen

258
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. That's our Twitter poll. We got more than

259
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: three hundred votes in so far in fifteen minutes. How

260
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: many wins do you predict for the Bills this season?

261
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: On the Twitter poll? Forty six percent of you almost

262
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: half say ten or more. That's a lot. Fifty two

263
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: percent of you even more say seven to nine wins.

264
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Two percent of you say zero to six wins. And

265
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: the early returns on the Twitter poll, and let's talk

266
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: about it on the telephone, nine too, how many wins

267
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: do you predict for the Buffalo Bills this season zero

268
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: to six, seven to nine or ten or more. I

269
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: gotta say team. For months now, I've been saying nine

270
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: or ten, nine or ten wins, and so that Jay Harrison,

271
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: I put that there. And I'm trying to avoid the

272
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: normal excitement about a season opener and in the preseason,

273
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: the four and o preseason for each let's just show

274
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: the video one more time, and then you gotta put

275
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: the fourteen plus some because I watched it twice, I've

276
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: added two of my prediction. Yeah, it's not that video,

277
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: it's not it's it's the look it is. However, I

278
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: think the way this preseason has gone, and I'm not

279
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: talking about the four and oh record in preseason, as

280
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: I justified my pick here, my pick for the season.

281
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking about how business like this team has been,

282
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: how this team has had some preseason setbacks, injuries, some

283
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: uncertainty about who's playing up front on the offensive line.

284
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a lot of things about the preseason.

285
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the ups of the preseason. The draft

286
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: class is incredible, right, the draft class almost to a

287
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: man ready to contribute this year. All but one of

288
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: them on the roster right, just Vante Joseph none on

289
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: the roster, He's on IR. I'm talking about the signs

290
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: of improvement. Yes, I've seen him in limited work from

291
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, which is critical. I'm talking about the running

292
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: of Devin Singleton. I'm talking about a defense which right

293
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: down the line, first team, second team, even third team

294
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: looked outstanding against preseason competition. I know it's only preseason competition,

295
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: so I'm ready to say it's a ten win season

296
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I've been saying nine or ten for

297
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: a while, but I'll go to the top of the

298
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: list there. I'll say ten wins along with the forty

299
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: six percent who say that ten or more wins for

300
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: the Bills. That's where I would choose. I think either way,

301
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. By the way, I don't know

302
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: if ten wins gets him in the postseason. You know,

303
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: the Jets had a ten win season back in twenty

304
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: fifteen and got knocked out of the playoffs right here

305
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: on Archer Park on the last day of the season.

306
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: But ten wins, I'm good with seeing ten wins, which

307
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: is a four game improvement over last year. I'm going

308
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: with ten. What about you here, here's where I'm at.

309
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: I have talked about all off season about how they

310
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: have over the last not forget this last offseason, not

311
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: just this last offseason, but think go back two off seasons.

312
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: They started like three off seasons ago with Sean McDermott

313
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: doing everything with a vision in mind. And so many

314
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: times we have seen new regimes come in with a

315
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: plan and all that, but unlike for the first time

316
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: over this stretch of period that we've had, they have

317
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: never wavered from their philosophy. They have never gone outside

318
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: the lines. They've gotten their financial house in order, their

319
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: draft picks, their free agency approach, their culture approach, the

320
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: cuts they've made at the end of each preseason, and

321
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: now the fact they've gone four and on the preseason.

322
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: It's a little bit and let maybe a little cherry

323
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: on the top of everything, but I've never but it's

324
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: been so long, well I'll put it this way, it

325
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: was in my memory. I've never felt this good about

326
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: a defense coming back the way it finished last year,

327
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: coming back looking even better than it did a year ago,

328
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: even deeper. I've never felt as good about the upgrades

329
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: they made to an offensive line that struggled last year.

330
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: The receiving corps that they have upgraded. I have great

331
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: faith in the youth in their tight end position. They've

332
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: got a first ballot Hall of Famer, Yes, in his

333
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: sixteenth year, but there's a reason he's in the Hall

334
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: of Fame, and he's headed for the Hall of Fame.

335
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: He's got a draft pick in the third round. They

336
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: took him. Devin Singletary that at every level of his career,

337
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: he has out done expectations. He has outdone what everybody

338
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: thought he was capable of doing, and not only outdone it,

339
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: but done it in a big way. They brought a

340
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: guy like t J. Yellen, who is a professional guy

341
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: who has fit into the culture of this group. They

342
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: brought him in because he did something with another team

343
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: that was outstanding, and he brings something to the table.

344
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: And of course at the very top of the not

345
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: just the guy who's gonna be taking snaps at quarterback,

346
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: but also the guy who backs him up. It's been

347
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: a long time since I've had as much optimism about

348
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: any quarterback the Bills have had on their roster as

349
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: I do about this guy. All of that stuff brings

350
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: me to the fact that there's no reason to back

351
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: away from this team and hold your hold your hors.

352
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: Yet certainly they're gonna be some hard times. And I'm

353
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: not saying they're gonna go one to know this weekend

354
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: with no question about it. They may lose this game

355
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: this weekend. To me, it doesn't matter. This is a

356
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: team that's gonna get better from week one all the

357
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: way to week six, seventeen of the season and beyond.

358
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna it's gonna come through in

359
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: their one loss record. Not only am I I'm picking

360
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: him eleven plus wins eleven plus. This is gonna be

361
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: this like they're gonna win eleven. They're gonna win eleven

362
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: and the next the plus is a playoff win. Well,

363
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: you don't get okay, you don't get credit for twelve thirteen.

364
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: You're not picking twelve thirty. Win at least eleven games,

365
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: and I think more. I think if they get into

366
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: and there it has eleven plus, I'm gonna say they're

367
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: gonna do eleven and they're gonna get in the playoffs.

368
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: That's fine. I listen, I'm telling you they're gonna win

369
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: eleven games plus this year, maybe twelve, maybe thirteen, I

370
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: don't know, but they're gonna win. Eleven is the floor,

371
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you there has been times in the seat,

372
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna throw a damper on it. But

373
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: you're right. Ten wins doesn't guarantee you getting in. Eleven

374
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of does. But I know this too. Eleven wins

375
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: has shut a team out years ago. A team with

376
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: eleven wins Denver Broncos. This is way back in I

377
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe the nineties, maybe whenever. A team with

378
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: eleven wins has been shut out of the playoffs. But

379
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: with the wild card in it, this year, you're gonna

380
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: get in. So yeah, I think they're gonna win eleven

381
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: games this year. Whether they win this weekend or not,

382
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't change it for me. I think they're gonna

383
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: win eleven games, okay, And that means yeah, that means

384
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: going up to New England or when the New England

385
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: Patriots show up here, they're gonna beat them once. They're

386
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna get a split with the Patriots this

387
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: year at least. Um, I think they're gonna be that good.

388
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: I think this is a team that's got things going

389
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: for it, and I think they're this coaching staff with

390
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: the mentality that they have, with the moves that they

391
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: have made. And don't forget, it's not just new players

392
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: on this team, it's also new coaches on this staff.

393
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: There's a there's a different vibe and a different feel,

394
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: and for me, that leads to me, that's different expectations

395
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, I think this is an eleven plus

396
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: win season. All right, Bills? You know what we think?

397
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: I am mister optimists. Well, yeah, you're a game more

398
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: optimistic than I am. And I was at actually where

399
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: you were earlier. But I saw Marv's video and I'm

400
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: going on, I'm I'm tacking it on saying eleven because

401
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: and I put the plus on the end. Don't let

402
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: forget my plus on the eleven plus doesn't count. The

403
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: plus doesn't count. All right? So are we gonna let

404
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: you pick four records for the Bills? No, everybody picks one.

405
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: How many wins more? Eleven is your pick? So you

406
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: don't get credit for twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen sixteen. I

407
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: get credit for a playoff win. A plus us is

408
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: a playoff win. Okay, I'm not gonna fight you. I'm

409
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: in too good a mood to fight. You get whatever

410
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: you are. I'm saying eleven you, Steve tasks you get

411
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: at least. Okay, what do you think? Give us a

00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: to get it started. John in Buffalo, Hello, John, go ahead,

423
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. How are you doing? Okay?

424
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: I just heard about what Steve just said, and he's

425
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: absolutely right. They're gonna go I just heard from Steve

426
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: and he is absolutely right. This town is hungry, this

427
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: team is hungry, and we're all hungry for a twelve

428
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: and fourth season. Awesome, Okay, thanks, Jash. I think I

429
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: think the I think the Bills are going to be

430
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears of last year. I think they're gonna

431
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: wow some people. I really do m they've got. They're

432
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: gonna be hard, They're gonna be hard to score on.

433
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: And this offense is going to be much more steady

434
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: and much more dependable and much more consistent than it

435
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: was a year ago. And this is a team that

436
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: was two bounces of the ball from being eight and

437
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: eight last year there were six and ten. That's what

438
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: they deserved to be. But they're two plays, seriously, two

439
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: bounces of the ball that didn't go their way from

440
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: being eight and eight to me, and I know this too.

441
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: You missed the field goal at the end of the

442
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee game and now you're five and eleven. But you're

443
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: talking about that's how close they were to being a

444
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: significantly different having a significantly different record than they did

445
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: this year. And I think that works to their advantage

446
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: now having lived through that. So I am way up

447
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: on this team today on the Friday before Opening Day.

448
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: If you're doing this game in New York today from

449
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: one Jets Drive, if you're in one Jets Live from

450
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: one Jets Drive, are you having a similar conversation you

451
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: might be. I was reading. I've been reading a lot

452
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: about the Jets obviously this week, and they're thinking nine

453
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: or ten wins down there, they should. They probably should, right,

454
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: they should. They're thinking they'll give the benefit of a

455
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: new head coach, an offensive minded coach, second year with

456
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, the addition of C. J. Mosley to anchor

457
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: their defense. Right in the middle, Quinnon Williams, a third

458
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft, should be a difference maker

459
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: in the middle. I guess my point is everybody's feeling

460
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: pretty good today around the NFL, except for Chicago, right,

461
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: everybody that's right, they got a chance here, that's right,

462
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: and and they yeah, exactly and every reason too. Sam

463
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: Darnold is a really good young prospect at quarterback. He's

464
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: a good player. They've got Levion Bell coming into the group,

465
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: and he is highly motivated with a chip on his

466
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: shoulder to show everybody he's he's not the idiot that

467
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: blew fifteen million dollars by sitting out an entire year.

468
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: He's got something to prove, he's got he wants. He

469
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: actually is one of the few guys that wants to

470
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: go out and earn the thirty million bucks they gave him,

471
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So they got a lot

472
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: of reason to feel good about it. They got some

473
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: really good defenders. Quinnon Williams is a really good player,

474
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: a new draft pick they got. They got Leonard Williams,

475
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: really good player. They've got Jamal Adams, the young safety

476
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: who's a really good player, a guy you and I

477
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: both had a chance to get to know and really

478
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: like him. And they've got a coaching staff that has

479
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: some experience in the National Football League and has had

480
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: some success in Greg Williams and Adam Gaze on both

481
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. I'm totally with the Jets optimism.

482
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: That's why this is game is like it's a big right,

483
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: It's a big one. Yeah, It's as big as the

484
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: It's as big as the Bears Packers game last night

485
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: for those two teams because their division rivals in a

486
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: in a division that's really competitive. And let's be honest,

487
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: my prediction of ten wins yours of eleven plus must

488
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: include I think a sweep with the Jets, right, sweep

489
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, sweep the Jets. Maybe you can split with

490
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots, right, you know, yeah, you don't. You don't

491
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: get to year eleven wins without a sweep of the

492
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: jets A division, right, you probably like to be better there.

493
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: Certainly when you go down there and we all do it,

494
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: you go down, you go down the kedun you go

495
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: whin here, whin here, whin here. You know that would

496
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: take some unexpected things other places. If you're not if

497
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: you go three and three in the division, it's gonna

498
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: take um, you're gonna go eight and two the rest

499
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: of the way. You know, think about that eight and

500
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: two the rest of the way against everybody else outside

501
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: the division. So you know that's pretty unexpected. But I

502
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: still think this team because is gonna do it. I

503
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: think they're that good. I think they're that talented. I

504
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: think they've got it together that much. I think their

505
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: culture is exactly where they want it to be. Certainly,

506
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: they got to show up and play on Sundays and Thursday.

507
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: But I think they're in it to do it. I

508
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: think they can do it. I think they got the

509
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: right mix of things certainly, and I've I've we've already

510
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: got some feedback people say, listen, there's still a little inexperienced,

511
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: you know, Josh is a little inexperienced. He's still got

512
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a wild streak in him. That

513
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: kind of act tends to act like a young player

514
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: making you're thinking about one play, right right? I said

515
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: it yesterday, and you know you think that's out there,

516
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: no question there, it's out there. I just don't. I

517
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: just don't see that happening. I just don't see it happening.

518
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: Let's take one more call here before we go to break.

519
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: We'll go to Paul and Ken Moore. Hi, Paul, go ahead,

520
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this, Hey, guys, Murph, I

521
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: agree with you. I'm thinking ten wins. Also, the only

522
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: thing that scares me is Vegas only has them with

523
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: seven wins, and it really hasn't moved much. Yeah, I know, yeah, Paul,

524
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: you know why Vegas has him at seven wins because

525
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: nobody will bet on him to win eight. They don't

526
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: care if they don't, actually not. It's not the many

527
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: amount of games that Vegas thinks the Bills are gonna win.

528
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: It's the amount of games that Vegas thinks people think

529
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna Well, but I think at Paul's point, Paul,

530
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: you can amplify this too. It's a reflection of what

531
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: the general public thinks the Bills will do or what

532
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: they will be this year, right, Paul, that's why their

533
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: their numbers at seven. Yeah, just not the people from

534
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: buffal obviously here, right, we know our teams a lot

535
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: better than it was last year, but the general population

536
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: pretty good. It seems we're a seven to seven win team, which, yeah,

537
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: me a lot. Well, you know what, PAULA doesn't scare me.

538
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: In fact, I kind of like it an opportunity maybe

539
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: to sneak up on opponents. I don't think it matters much.

540
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a whole lot of Steve can

541
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: talk to this. There's probably not a whole lot of

542
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: discussion about point spreads or wind projections in the locker

543
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: room among players right now, and they don't care. I

544
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: don't care that. I just think it'd be good if

545
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: you're regarded as a seven win team, you can't sneak

546
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: up on some opponents, and I like that. And it

547
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: started as a six win team they started, when they

548
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: opened it up, it was six. They had the Bills

549
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: for the over all, Right, Paul, do you know that

550
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: Steve could be right? Yeah, I am right, and yeah

551
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: I am right. I am right. It was a big

552
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: deal when it came out. There's a big deal. They'd

553
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: had him at six wins. Now it's moved to seven

554
00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: because everybody's betting the over. Well, let's hope. So thanks Paul. Okay,

555
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: he hunked this morning and we're just getting rolling here,

Speaker 1: some stuff on the Jets Bills game, and you can

579
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: get it on Apple or Google Play or on the

580
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: ESPN dot com, all those platforms, and each week we

581
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: have good guests. So I get into a little Jets

582
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: Bills I think it's a it's a really intriguing matchup

583
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: this week because I think the teams are so evenly matched. Yeah,

584
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, you pick pick the Jets by one point

585
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: over the Bills. It does have all the yearmarks of

586
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: a really closely contested content, you know, yet these division

587
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: games are always a little bit closer. Anyway, tell us

588
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: how you think this is going to play out? Well,

589
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it wouldn't be surprised if it goes either

590
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: way obviously by the score I picked. You know, I

591
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: think the Jets are you know, I get him a

592
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: slight edge because they're at home. I like the way

593
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: Donald's been playing, you know. I think laby on Bell

594
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: will give a boost to the offense, definitely an emotional boost,

595
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: and also his versatility. They're going to line them up

596
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: in different areas, so I think that's a plus for

597
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: the Jets. The concerns for me for the Jets, I

598
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: think their offensive line might have some issues with Buffalo's front.

599
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: The Jet offensive line has not played together all preseason.

600
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: This will be Ryan Khalil's first game action since coming

601
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: out of retirement, so that concerns me a little bit.

602
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: And I think they're special teams will be at a

603
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: disadvantage because they're so new. They have a new kicker

604
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: who's never kicked before in the NFL in Corey Vedvik.

605
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: You know, they have a punt returner who's never done

606
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: it in the NFL and Braxton Barrios. So I give

607
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: the Bills an edge in that area, but overall, probably

608
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: just because they're home, and I just like the rhythm

609
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: that Donald's been playing with. Two questions for you, Rich

610
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: about leby on Bell. What's the nature of the emotional

611
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: boost that you expect he provides the Jets number one

612
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: and number two. Any chance of rust at all or

613
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: is he just out of the box ready to go

614
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: after six hundred plus days on the sidelines. Yeah, well

615
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: there will be rust. I mean, even though and it's

616
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: he didn't play at all in the preseason. We know

617
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: that he hasn't played a game in twenty months. But

618
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: he did practice every day, which actually surprised me coming

619
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: into training camp. I thought for sure that'd be that,

620
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, hamstring injury or calf pull or something. But

621
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 1: he practiced every single day, and he took a lot

622
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: of reps in the last couple of weeks of training camp.

623
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: So but and Steve would know this. There's no you

624
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: can't simulate game speed in a practice. So there will

625
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: be I think an adjustment period for lady On. But

626
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: he's such an energetic guy. He plays with a lot

627
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: of passion. I see it on the practice field, and

628
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: so I think that will have an effect on the

629
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: rest of the offense as well. And talking about it

630
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: a little bit about the rest of the offense, what's

631
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line looked like in front of Levon Bell.

632
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: It's going to be much different than the Pittsburgh Steelers

633
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: offensive line that he played played behind twenty months ago. Yeah,

634
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: they're not as good as Pittsburgh's. I think that's pretty

635
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: easy to see. But it is a veteran group of guys.

636
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: It's not like they're throwing some rookies in there who's

637
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: never done it before. Ryan Khalil is a five time

638
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: pro bowler with Carolina. You know, you know, he was

639
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: basically came off his couch, came out of retirement when

640
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: the Jets called, and so I think it'll take him

641
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: a couple of games to get acclimated. But their guards

642
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: are good Collecheossemily a former pro bowler with the Raiders

643
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: and Ravens. The right guard is Brian Winters, who's solid.

644
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: The tackles are solid with Kelvin Beecham and Brandon Show.

645
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, all these guys have played multiple years

646
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: as starters. So this is not some you know, group

647
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: they've just thrown together. They just haven't played together, and

648
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: so there's going to be some transition. Tell me about

649
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: Sam Donald if you would, Rich Rich Simini our guests

650
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: from ESPN ESPN NFL Nation reporter covering the Jets Sam

651
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Donald and the improvement that you've seen and the good

652
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: feelings you get from watching him in preseason, tell me

653
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: maybe specifically what you see number one, number two, how

654
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: much of that can be traced back to having Adam

655
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: Gayson is year now? Yeah, I think for sure, you know,

656
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: having an offensive minded head coach I think helps you know, Gaze.

657
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets haven't having an offensive minded head

658
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: coach since nineteen ninety six when Rich co Tight was

659
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: the coach, so that's how long it's been. And I

660
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: think it helps Sam because Gaye will see the game

661
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: through the eyes of the quarterback and that'll help Sam.

662
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: Sam's throwing a better ball than last year. I see

663
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: a tighter spiral, more velocity, and I think that comes

664
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: with just knowing what he's doing and like where he's

665
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: going with the ball, so he's being more decisive in

666
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: his reads. And I think what Bills fans are going

667
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: to see from this Jet offense probably from the first possession.

668
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: They're going fast, They're they're really stressing tempo. They did

669
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: a lot of no huddle in the preseason games, so

670
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: their goal is to play fast and it's really like

671
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: a fast break offense. So I think that's something that

672
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: the Bills have probably prepared for and Bill's fans are

673
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: going to see which you really haven't seen from a

674
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: Jet offense the last couple of years. What about Jamison

675
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: Crowder added to the mix in the Jets wide receiver room?

676
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: Is he going to help Sam Darnold? Is that group

677
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: gonna be? I know Quincy and Noon Wall can really

678
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: play out a lot of respect for him as a player.

679
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: What's Crowder bring to the table? Steve, I honestly think

680
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: that Crowder was their best receiver on a day to

681
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: day basis and training camp, he and Sam just really

682
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 1: developed an instant chemistry. He'll be in the slot probably

683
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the time, and I think the way

684
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: he'll help him is this way. Sam had the lowest

685
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: completion percentage in the league last year on passes in

686
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: the one to ten yard range. I think having a

687
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: guy like Jamison Crowder who can separate quickly and find

688
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: a soft spot will increase Sam's completion percentage on those

689
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: short throws. So that's the way I think he's going

690
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: to help Sam Darnold. With Rich Simini, he covers the

691
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: Jet for ESPN, ESPN, NFL Nation. We know Greg Williams here,

692
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: and we know Greg Williams reputation. Now the defensive coordinator

693
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: for the Jets. What Greg Williams can he do it

694
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: what he likes to do given the group that he has,

695
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: especially at cornerback, where maybe the Jets have a couple

696
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: of questions there. Richard, Yeah, that's the weakest part of

697
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: the team. You know, their number one corner is Tremaine Johnson,

698
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: who quite frankly, is coming off a disappointing year and

699
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: basically didn't do anything in training camp. He's been coming

700
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: back from a hamstring injury. But he will play on

701
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: Sunday and they expect him to start. But after him,

702
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: there's just a big drop off in their corners. So

703
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: I think they'll struggle against teams that spread them out

704
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: and forced their corners to cover. But Greg will attack.

705
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: You guys know this, You've seen it everywhere. They'll be

706
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: blitzing from the time you know the national anthem is over.

707
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: You know, they'll be blitzing like crazy. Pressure and he

708
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: can do. He's got a good front. You know, Jet's

709
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 1: got some players up front. Now, they got Leonard Williams,

710
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: Quinn and Williams. Henry Anderson's a good player. C J.

711
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: Mosley in the middle is a good middle linebacker. They

712
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: lack edge rushers, so I think they're gonna have to

713
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: scheme that up to a certain degree. We'll talk a

714
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: little bit about Quinn and Williams. We thought perhaps Quinn

715
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: and Williams would be the guy that fell to the

716
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: Bills in this last draft, and it was at Oliver

717
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: instead who did How has Quinn and Williams stacked up

718
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of the Jets defense. He's not listed

719
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: as a starter, but man, he's gonna be on the

720
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: field a lot, is he not? Absolutely? In fact, Greg

721
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: Williams just said that a short time ago. Quinnan's gonna

722
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: play a lot. You know, he's not there yet as

723
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: a run defender, so I think I don't know how

724
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: much you'll see him on first and second down, but

725
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: he'll see him in third down packages, mostly over the center,

726
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, either a head on with the center or

727
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: in a one technique. He's really quick off the ball.

728
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: If the Bills are not ready for that, his first

729
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: step is very explosive. He did not have a great

730
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: preseason numbers, wise, but he did draw I think three

731
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: holding penalties, and he can be disruptive. We haven't seen

732
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: it yet, but he's only twenty one years old and

733
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: he's just got such a high ceiling as a interior

734
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. Hey, Rich, I thought this was a notable

735
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: move this week Monday, I think Labor Day when hines

736
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: Ward was added to the coaching staff. He was an

737
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: intern during the summer. What's his role now with the

738
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: Jets coaching staff. Yeah, he's an offensive assistant. He'll be

739
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: working with the wide receivers. They You're absolutely right, John,

740
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 1: you know he was an intern over the summer. Really,

741
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: the receivers really took to him, especially Robbie Anderson. You know,

742
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: Robbie is a guy with a lot of talent. I

743
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: think at times he's a soft player, and I think

744
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: being around hines I mean, we know hines Ward was

745
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: not a soft player. I mean he was, you know,

746
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: a very physical goal some would say too physical at times.

747
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: But I think just being around Hind's Ward is going

748
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: to help Robbie trying to develop more of an aggressive mindset. Well,

749
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: you're going into the opening day with a new head coach.

750
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: What has the vibe been for Adam Gay. I know

751
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: that early on in his tenure with this opening press

752
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: conference and all of that stuff. But he to me

753
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: when I covered him when he was with the Miami Dolphins,

754
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: he seemed to have this youthful energy that really connected

755
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: with his players. As have you seen any of that? Yeah,

756
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: I've totally seen, and you're right. I mean it got

757
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: off to a really bad start. I mean, first of all,

758
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: when the Jets announced that they hired Gays, I think

759
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: most of the fan base booed the move. I mean,

760
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: it was not a popular move. And then he proceeded

761
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: to you know, botch his opening press conference, which was

762
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: became like an internet meme right away. I mean it

763
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: was bad and but the tightest turned I think in

764
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: part because, like you said, Steve, I think that youthful exuberance,

765
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: he got a moxie about him that I think the

766
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: players can relate to. I think he speaks their language.

767
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: I think his language is PG thirteen slash R. You know,

768
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: he is one of those guys. I mean, the players

769
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: tell me, you know, they have over under bets on

770
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: how many times he'll he'll drop an F bomb in

771
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: a team meeting. So but you know, players relate to that.

772
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: You know, he's not a goody two shoes, and I

773
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: think there's a spreads around. I think that you know,

774
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: swagger is an overused word, but I think he has

775
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. So I think he's changed

776
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: the perception after the bad start. But ultimately I think

777
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: the fans will be looking on Sunday is can Adam

778
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: Gasee give us a legitimate offense for a change? I

779
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: think that's what the fans will be thinking to themselves.

780
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: And one other question that we had also is how

781
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: is the mix of the coaching staff. And I don't

782
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: know if you can get a real feel for this,

783
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: but with Greg Williams, Joe Vitt and Adam Gaseem, Greg's

784
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: got a strong personality and he has a history with

785
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: Joe Vitt. And there's some people us here from the

786
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: outside thought man, that's nitro glycer in waiting to explode.

787
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: How has the coaching staff in the harmony gone? At

788
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: the coaching level, it is very and we should also

789
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: mention that Joe vid is Adam's father in law, So

790
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a very interesting mix of coaches.

791
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: And you're right, Adam and Greg are alpha males. I mean,

792
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: their personalities are type. I think some bands expected to

793
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: watch training camp practices and see those guys you know

794
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: at each other, you know, but I mean I never

795
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: saw that. But they are loud, they are intent, and

796
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: I think it really created a very competitive atmosphere and

797
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: training camp, which ultimately is a good thing. The vit

798
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: Williams thing is fascinating because of their bounty Gate history.

799
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: They we know they were on opposite side of that.

800
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: You know, they testified against Williams. There was a lot

801
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: of harsh personal attacks in those hearings that led to

802
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: the bounty Gate suspensions. But I have not seen anything

803
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: that would suggest there's a lingering animosity. I think the

804
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: true test will be if things go bad with the

805
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: Jets and they start losing two or three games in

806
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: a row. I think that'll really test their relationship. But

807
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: everything seems okay so far. Let's sing guy it for you, Rich.

808
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: We know it's an important game, were you expect it's

809
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: going to be a close game. And we know they

810
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: finish up the season playing each other and the regular

811
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: seam in finale. So the winner Sunday Bills are Jets.

812
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: The Winter Sunday is what gets what what do you think? Well,

813
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Just like, what does it mean?

814
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: What does the victory mean if the Jets meet the

815
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: Bills or vice versa. Well, I think it's you know,

816
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: and I'm seeing things from the New York side of it,

817
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: so you know, you know, pardon me if I'm not

818
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: seeing the whole big picture. But I think the game

819
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: is more important to the Jets simply because it's a

820
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: new era. It's a new coaching staff, a new GM.

821
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: So many I counted this morning they have twenty six

822
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: new players on their fifth three man roster. So I

823
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: think anytime you have a new era and a new beginning,

824
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: there's just so much expectations. There's hype. The fans are excited,

825
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: even though personally I think the Jets are only a

826
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: seven and nine or eight and eighteen, But the fans

827
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: are hyped, and and it's a home game, and if

828
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: they come in there and lay an egg, then it'll

829
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: just be such a downer. We know from being around

830
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, all three of us, that there's no week

831
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL where there's more overreaction than Week one,

832
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: and so so if there's if the Jet lay an

833
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: egg like they did against the Bills last year at MetLife.

834
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean, man, I mean, it'll be just such a downer.

835
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: So I think for the Jet it's just such a

836
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: huge game. Yeah, yeah, I was looking for it. I

837
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard, but the Chicago Bears are

838
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: not going to win any games this year. I know,

839
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: like last night, I mean, Trubisky's garbage and the offense

840
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: is terrible, and so this week in Chicago is going

841
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: to be really tough for those guys. And it'll be

842
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: the same in Buffalo or in New York. Whichever team

843
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: loses on Sunday. She would be a great one. Rich.

844
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, We'll see you there Sunday. Thank you very much.

845
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, Take care. Rich Amani, ESPN NFL Nation reporter

846
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: for the Jets, host of The Flight Tech his podcast

847
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: on ESBM regarding the Jets. Been around that team for

848
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: thirty years. Steve and I coming back with more One

849
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo

850
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back One Bill's Live, John Murphy, Steve

851
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: Tasker in our one Buffalo studio already. See if I

852
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: can tell this, give me one of those shows that

853
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: flies by. It already feels like it, doesn't it. Yes,

854
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: I think it's it's flying by already. Other Bills coming

855
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: off the practice field. They have their Friday workout today

856
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: and head coach Sean McDermott. We will hear from him momentarily,

857
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: but he has ruled out wide receiver return specialist Andre Roberts.

858
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: More on that in a minute. Andre Roberts will not

859
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: play against the Jets. He's had that quad muscle injury.

860
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: And McDermott also announced the captains this year. Are you

861
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: ready the Bills twenty nineteen captains Stephen Hauska is a captain.

862
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: Linebacker's terall Edmonds and Lorenzo Alexander are captains. Quarterback Josh

863
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Allen is a captain in his second year, left tackled

864
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: Deon Dawkins as a captain in his third year, and

865
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: long snapper Read Ferguson is a captain as well. So

866
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: those are the Bills captains. I think it's notable that

867
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: Josh is a captain. That makes sense. But Deon Dawkins

868
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: is a captain. I think he's come a long way.

869
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: A year ago, Dion Dark people wondering about Deon Dawkins,

870
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: where's his head at? How could he take a step

871
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: back in a second year? Has come a long way,

872
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: I think in terms of his how they regard him

873
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: on that roster, Steve, I think it also speaks to

874
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: how he feels about himself. You know what I mean.

875
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: I think when you become that kind of guy in

876
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: a locker room, when you start to feel really comfortable

877
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: in the locker room and you start to feel like

878
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: you do have a voice and you're right, Murph, it

879
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: says a lot about Dawkins and where he's come in

880
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: this short period of time. I think all of us

881
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: will look. I mean Lorenzo Alexander, I mean, good greet,

882
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: he'd be a captain in armed forces, let alone on

883
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: a football team. Uh. And then he got Tremaine Edmonds

884
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: and Josh that they're called terrell I brother. And then

885
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: you know Haushka and uh uh read Ferguson, the long

886
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: snapper and the kicker. Long tenured guy. Read Ferguson. So

887
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: that's Reid. Fergus is probably one of the only guys

888
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: that were here that was here before anybody of those guys.

889
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: You know, Lorenzo was here, Um you mean under the previous. Yeah,

890
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if Yeah, but I think Reid was

891
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: here before him. I don't know. I mean, I don't

892
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: know anyway, Yeah, long long tenured guys, and so yeah,

893
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: I like the cap the captains are. You have to

894
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: trust the team that they know who the who they

895
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: listened to and who they want out there, and that

896
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: those are the guys. So I defer to them. Good stuff.

897
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: Congratulations to those guys. Andre Roberts out that Bill's primary

898
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: return man the former Jet, which is unfortunate he will

899
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: not get a chance to go against the Jets. And

900
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: yesterday Heath Farwell, Buffalo Special teams coach, was asked, Okay,

901
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: what do you do if Andre Roberts is out at

902
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: the return spot. Here's what he had to say. Um,

903
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: we're fortunate we have a bunch of guys that can

904
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: do it. Um. You know, Isaiah has done it here,

905
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: done it here for the last couple of years. Um,

906
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: we got Zay, Um you know, we got Robert Foster

907
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: has done it in practice. Of course, Micah Hyde has

908
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: done it in the past, you know years, you know,

909
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: like years ago and even last year filling in. So

910
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: we got plenty of guys. Um, you know, plenty of

911
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: guys have stepped up and we'll be fine back there.

912
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: It'll be fine. He farewell says, well, what can you do?

913
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate because I'm sure based on his who would

914
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: be more motivated exactly? He was ready to go for

915
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: this game. He's got a quad bet he is just bumming. Yes,

916
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: I can. I can relate to that totally. Yeah, I

917
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: get it. By the way, I don't ready go to break.

918
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: But are we gonna mention the fact that it's getting

919
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of attention? Today? The New England Patriots

920
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: released Russell Bodine, who they just traded for for the

921
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and a lot of people are kind of

922
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: ready to like clap for the Buffalo Bills saying he's

923
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: got a free draft pick, sixth round pick out of

924
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 1: the Patriots for Russ Bodine, who couldn't make our team

925
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: and didn't make theirs either. Not so fast for me.

926
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that what they think, what you think

927
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: they think the sixth round draft pick is worth. But

928
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, when Russell Bodine showed up in

929
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: New England, I don't know that he got to look

930
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: at any of the the New England playbook at all.

931
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: But they sat him down in a room with a

932
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: whiteboard and a white light shining in his face. And

933
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: then you know this, Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniel and

934
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators. May maybe it's just Bill Belichick. They

935
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: grilled him about what Buffalo was doing with their offense.

936
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: H and Russ Bodine played for the Patriots, so he

937
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: told them everything he could probably tell them about what

938
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: they wanted, what their terminology was, what the Bill's terminology was. Oh,

939
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: that's step one. Whenever something like this happens, you can

940
00:47:53,680 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: that's just a business as usual. And quarterback Bills me that, yeah,

941
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: Bills know that. Bills did it for Davis Webb when

942
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: he came over from the Jets. That's just the standard

943
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: operating procedure. What are their cadences, what are their philosophies,

944
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: What are they been talking about with the Buffalo Bills?

945
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: What are they you know, what do they think about?

946
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: And all that goes into the hopper. So depending on

947
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: how much that helps the Patriots in their first game

948
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: in Week four against the Buffalo Bills, did Russ Bodine

949
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: that was job one? When they traded for him, So

950
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: it remains to be seen if that sixth round draft

951
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: pick is going to yield any benefits for the Patriots

952
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: that they gave to the Buffalo Bills. At a breakcare

953
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,400

Speaker 1: Raiders team captain stood with him to the Raiders suspended

981
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: or not. That decision still to come from general manager

982
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock. The Rust Bodin era in New England did

983
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: not last very long. Just a week he was acquired

984
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: by a trade from the Bills. The Patriots sending a

985
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: six round draft picked in New England last week in

986
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: exchange for Bodain. They Obviously they did not like what

987
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 1: they saw, because they released him today. He spent Bodin

988
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: spent the first four years in the league with the Bengals,

989
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: last year with the Bill, starting seventy four games over

990
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: his career so far. Mitchell Trubisky, Bears quarterback, brushed off

991
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: the notion that only playing three snaps all handoffs in

992
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: the preseason was a factor in his lackluster game last night.

993
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: Chicago lost to Green Bay in the season opening game,

994
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,479
Speaker 1: ten to three last night. Trubisky twenty six to forty

995
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,560

1006
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: great Gaby with us here. Great death football back, isn't

1007
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: it if that's what you'd call last night? Yes, yeah, yeah,

1008
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: that was a tough one. How many years at NFL

1009
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: Films for you, Greg, I'm guessing thirty six? Maybe this

1010
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: year's thirty six year? Murph? You know, I just saw

1011
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: a Brady my fortieth year at films this summer. Oh Man, congratulations,

1012
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 1: congratulations and congratulations. Remember when Steve Tasker was a young guy.

1013
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: You know those days are long gone but for me too,

1014
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: believe me. That's rights. But let's jump into the Bill's

1015
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: jets right off the top of what do you think

1016
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: are the keys for this on both sides of the

1017
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: ball for these clubs? You know, I think for the

1018
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: Bills offensively, and again I certainly don't know how Sean

1019
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: thinks or Brian Dable, but I think on a certain

1020
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: level they need to develop an offense that has a

1021
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: sustaining element. I think we know that Josh Allen can

1022
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: be a very big play quarterback, both with his arm

1023
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: and his legs, and that's good. And it's a league

1024
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: where everybody is trying to orchestrate and manufacture explosive plays,

1025
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: particularly in the past game. But I think to be

1026
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: a really good team and a consistent team, I think

1027
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: what become the important plays in games. The plays that

1028
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: are not highlight plays are when it's third and six

1029
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: and you gain eight yards with a completion, or when

1030
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: it's second and eight and you choose to run the

1031
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: ball and you gain five yards, so it's third and

1032
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: three and you're in a much better position to convert

1033
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: on third down. I think those kinds of plays are

1034
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: the plays that I think are the ones that the

1035
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: Bills have to be able to make this season. They'll

1036
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: make their share of big plays, but I think that

1037
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: their offense needs to become more consistent in terms of

1038
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: those detail plays. What about the Jets offense? The Jets offense,

1039
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: to me is a little bit of an unknown look.

1040
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: They obviously signed Levion Bell, he did not play in

1041
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: the preseason. When I say it's an unknown, I'm not

1042
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 1: sure if Adam Gays and Darwyl Logins, their offensive coordinator,

1043
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: see their offense as starting with Levion Bell in the

1044
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: sense that he's going to get his twenty plus carries.

1045
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that because I think Adam Gaye is

1046
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 1: a very good designer and orchestrator in the past game,

1047
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: and I think they feel really good about Sam Darnold,

1048
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: and it would not surprise me to see them run

1049
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of tempo offense. Get up to the line

1050
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, go no huddle, not necessarily snap the ball

1051
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,959
Speaker 1: immediately and play fast, but just get into that tempo mode.

1052
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: Now you so obviously can run the ball, and you

1053
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: do that as well. I just don't have a great

1054
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: sense of what their run past balance who will be

1055
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: if they stay in relatively normal down in distant situations.

1056
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: Greg Lady on Bell can be a factor in the

1057
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: passing game right. Obviously he can make some plays in

1058
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: the passing game, and my sense is that Adam Gaze

1059
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: will expand Bell's pass game concepts in Pittsburgh. Much of

1060
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: what he did in the pass game were very short throws,

1061
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: check down screens. I think they see Bell as a

1062
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: guy that they can line up detached from the formation,

1063
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: even in the backfield, and then he can run more

1064
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: intermediate and even vertical routes, and I think that's something

1065
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: that the Bills have to be prepared for One of

1066
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: the things about this Jet team defensively speaking, is they

1067
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: seem to be really stout up front. They got a

1068
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: lot of big bodies up there, plus Quinnin Williams, who's

1069
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: a young, you know, energetic player. The back end of

1070
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: their defense may be what holds Greg Williams back from

1071
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: sending all the house at the Buffalo Bills. How do

1072
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: you think Greg Williams is going to deploy this new

1073
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: group of players he has defensively for the Jets. Look,

1074
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: we know that Greg Williams has a reputation for being

1075
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: very aggressive, and I think he will be but selectively

1076
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: in this game. I think that because of the corner situation,

1077
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: he may try to protect his corners at times, so

1078
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: it'll be a situational game. They have to be prepared

1079
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: for pressure, because yes, Greg will bring it. And I

1080
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: think Jamal Adams is a very interesting player for the

1081
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: Jets because he has a multidimensional skill set and he's

1082
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: very good near the line of scrimmage, both versus run

1083
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: and as a blitzer. As I'm sure Bills fans can

1084
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: remember from last year and I think even the year

1085
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: before that. But I think that Greg Williams won't be

1086
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: just all out aggressive with blitz. I think they'll be

1087
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: down in distant snaps in which he tries to protect

1088
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: his corners and look, he's a Cover two guys. Well,

1089
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: you turn on the tape of Greg Williams through the

1090
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: years and you'll see a lot of snaps of Cover two.

1091
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: I told you before he came out of the air, Greg.

1092
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: We had Rich Cannon on the show yesterday who said

1093
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: essentially what you're just telling us too. Although Rich said

1094
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: he thought Greg Gwyiams might test Josh Allen early by

1095
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: showing him blitz looks. Do you see that maybe in

1096
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: the cards, Yes, and not because of the pressure as

1097
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: much as making Josh and the old line id people.

1098
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: Because I think that's an area that Josh clearly, as

1099
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: a second year quarterback, needs to improve his ability to

1100
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: id pressure looks at the line of scrimmage before the

1101
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: ball is snapped. That doesn't mean you bledge it, just

1102
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: you line up people in pressure looks and make the

1103
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: quarterback in the old line have to identify who they

1104
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 1: think may or may not be coming. So I think

1105
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: you will absolutely see that. That doesn't mean people would

1106
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,479
Speaker 1: come will come. There's a lot of times and Steve

1107
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: knows this. Where teams show pressure looks, they try to

1108
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: get the offense to react to the pressure look. Then

1109
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: they drop into coverage and there's no throw because the

1110
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: offense changed what they were going to do anticipating pressure,

1111
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: and then the defense goes to coverage and the quarterback

1112
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: there's no throw. How prevalent is it in the NFL

1113
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: these days for a defense to do all of the

1114
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: things they normally do, except maybe perhaps to put a

1115
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: spy on a player like Josh Allen, a guy who

1116
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: runs the ball, who pulled it down so much last

1117
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: year led the team in rushing. Is there thought that

1118
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of a common way or not common, but

1119
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: one way that you can stop a guy from putting

1120
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: a cape on and playing hero ball. It forced him

1121
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: to play quarterback. How likely is it that Greg Williams

1122
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: uses like, say, for instance, Jamal Adams as a guy

1123
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: to shadow Josh Allen. Well, then you have to feel

1124
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: good about the guy you use as a spy because

1125
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot of times teams use linebackers, and you know,

1126
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen might be able to beat those guys.

1127
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,919
Speaker 1: But is it possible. I think it's possible that would

1128
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: be very situational, Steve, I don't think you'd see that

1129
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: ten snap in the game. You know, that would be

1130
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: a very situational kind of thing. Maybe that's something you

1131
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: do on third and four or five, So it's possible.

1132
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think back in my memory banks. You know,

1133
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: I could be totally wrong on this, but I don't.

1134
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't think of Greg Williams as a big spy guy.

1135
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: I think of him as either a pressure guy or

1136
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: a coverage guy. Right with Greg Kosell. He's executive producer

1137
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: analyst of NFL Matchup on ESPN. You can see it

1138
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: this weekend, senior producer in NFL Films. People have been

1139
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: fond of saying all this week, Greg that the Bills

1140
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: and the Jets are similar teams on similar paths anyway,

1141
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: Do you see it that way in terms of the

1142
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: way they line up, the way they're gonna want to play.

1143
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true tactically. I think they

1144
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: say that because they both have second year quarterbacks that

1145
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: people are excited about. So I don't know if i'd

1146
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: say that tactically. But you know, you have Sam Darnold,

1147
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: the third pick in the draft. You have Josh Allen,

1148
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: the seventh pick in the draft, two young quarterbacks. They're

1149
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: good friends. I believe they have the same agent group.

1150
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: So I think people look at the quarterbacks and think,

1151
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: therefore the teams are similar building around a young quarterback,

1152
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: but I think tactically they're not necessarily that's similar. What

1153
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: do you expect from Sam Darnald this year? As a

1154
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: guy who he and Murph and I have sat here

1155
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: and watched the Jets a couple of times since he's

1156
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: been drafted. We like that guy a lot. What do

1157
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: you expect from him? I would expect continued growth. I

1158
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: think that Adam Gais is very good at designing the

1159
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: past game. I would expect Darnald to improve. You know,

1160
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: I know that they'll play some no huddle, some tempo.

1161
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: They feel very good about Donald's ability to handle that.

1162
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: I think the season might start slowly. I think when

1163
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon comes back for the fifth game of the

1164
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: season the tight end for the Jets, I think you'll

1165
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: start to see more things in their offense because I

1166
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: think Herndon is an athletic tight end who can move

1167
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: around the formation, and without him there, I think they

1168
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: have so limitations personnel wise with the skill positions, but

1169
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: I would expect Arnold to continue to grow as a quarterback.

1170
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: He's an accurate thrower. I think he sees things well,

1171
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: so you know, I would expect improvement. Greg yourself from

1172
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: NFL matchup on the ESPN our guest, Hey, I want

1173
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: to take you back to the last night's game and

1174
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: kind of look around the league a little bit, Gregan

1175
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: And Yeah, I know how bad it was on offense

1176
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: for really both the Packers and the Bears last night.

1177
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: But I had the thought this morning that Mike Patton

1178
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: probably woke up Tony and thought to myself, I'm back right.

1179
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean that defense was outstanding for the Packers. Yeah,

1180
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: it's funny. I haven't been through that whole game yet

1181
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: because we shot matchup this morning. I watched it on

1182
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: TV through Oh, I guess the third quarter. I was

1183
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,959
Speaker 1: anxious to see what Mike did. You know, I didn't

1184
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: get the sense and from what I saw last night

1185
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: in front of what I've watched up to this point

1186
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: that he was super blitz heavy. But I don't know

1187
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: that for certain yet because I haven't, like I said,

1188
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: made it through the tape. He was playing both Nicole

1189
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: five dbs Dime sixty bs. Certain things stood out. Adrian

1190
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: Amos was used in a multidimensional way, both playing on

1191
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: the back end and also in the box, and is

1192
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: a blitzer. So I think he feels that from a

1193
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: secondary perspective, particularly with his safety's Amos and the rookie

1194
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Darnell Savage, that he's got two guys that he can

1195
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: move around and be very interchangeable and multidimensional. And I

1196
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: think that's always been important to Mike Petton, and I

1197
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: think that's the reason they drafted Savage, and that's the

1198
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: reason they signed Amos. What did it surprise you the

1199
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: amount of pressure they could get on Trubisky with Chicago's

1200
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: offensive line. Did Chicago's offensive line not play well or

1201
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: were they outskimed? They had some busts, I thought, you know,

1202
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: and again, don't forget Trubisky did not play in the preseason.

1203
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how many snaps their starting offensive line

1204
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: played together in the preseason, but to me, to me,

1205
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 1: the Bears offense had the feel of a preseason game. Steve,

1206
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what you thought. I don't know how

1207
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: much you saw the game, but it had to me

1208
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: it had the feel of a preseason game for the

1209
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Bears offense very much. So you can tell after the

1210
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: game said three points is unacceptable. But you know that

1211
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: was the feel I had watching it. Yeah, I felt

1212
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 1: he could even tell with Green Bay Aaron Rodgers just

1213
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: at the end or the first quarter, the beginning of

1214
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: the second quarter, Aaron Rodgers began to play much differently

1215
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: as though that was about as much preseason as he needed.

1216
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: He looked a little better throughout the rest of the game. Yeah,

1217
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: and Rodgers is a veteran with a lot of snaps

1218
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of repetition. Trubisky is not. And I'm

1219
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: not going to sit here and say what's right or

1220
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: what's wrong. You know, I'm not gonna knock Matt Naggy.

1221
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: It's just that I think someone like Trubisky needs reps.

1222
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: Now he got them last night. It was a regular

1223
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: season game. He didn't play particularly well. They lost, so ideally,

1224
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: now more reps plays next week and he starts to

1225
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,919
Speaker 1: get better. But you know, to me, it was clear

1226
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: that that Trubisky was a quarterback who kneed reps and

1227
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: didn't look particularly up last night at all. How did

1228
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers look I thought he was okay, you know,

1229
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: made a few throws. You know, he missed some throws

1230
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: as well. To me, it'll be interesting to see how

1231
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: their wide receiver cord develops. I mean, obviously, Valdes Scandaling

1232
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: made the big catch for forty seven yards, and I

1233
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: think there was a bust on that play by the

1234
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: backside safety. And we're looking at the play right now,

1235
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: but you know, I think there was a bust there.

1236
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: And I think Rodgers made a couple of other throws

1237
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: that were not necessarily difficult. But I thought he was

1238
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: very uneven. You know, I think he would tell you

1239
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't one of his best games. Yeah, I agree

1240
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: with you. I thought there were some even some short

1241
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: throws where his receivers were struggling to catch it because

1242
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: he didn't put on the right shoulder or it was

1243
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: a low throw, or I thought he was. I thought

1244
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: he was. I thought it was a bad for Aaron Rodgers.

1245
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was a bad performance. Yeah, I agree,

1246
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: I thought, and maybe this is crazy to say because

1247
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers, but I thought it looked like Steve

1248
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: he was playing a little fast, like you know, he was.

1249
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: He was hurrying himself. You know, sometimes pressure makes you

1250
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: play fast. I thought he played fast without the pressure.

1251
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: He just looked like he was hurrying himself. Arline mcgreg

1252
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: cosal from NFL matchup on ESPN. Another quarterback to think about.

1253
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: Now moving into the weekend, Greg, and that's the Colts.

1254
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,439
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette. Now he takes over for Andrew Luck. He's

1255
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: got a tall order going out west to the Chargers.

1256
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm playing out there this Sunday at four o'clock. Bressette

1257
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: will be tested by that team. Oney to some degree, yeah,

1258
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean with Derwin James out, I think I'm anxious

1259
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: to see what Gus Bradley does defensively, because James was

1260
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: really kind of an interesting player. He was kind of

1261
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: a back end safety, a monster back, a linebacker. I mean,

1262
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: he did a lot of things for that defense. And

1263
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,959
Speaker 1: one thing Gus Bradley morph into last year was playing

1264
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: a lot of six defensive backs, even against bass because

1265
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: Derwin James could do a lot of things Without James,

1266
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to see what Gus Bradley does. But getting

1267
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,919
Speaker 1: back to Brissette, I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy, Guys

1268
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: I liked Jacobe said, I think he's more than a backup.

1269
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: I think he's more than a stop gap. I think

1270
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: he could end up becoming a very solid NFL starting quarterback.

1271
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: Are they good enough around him to win enough games

1272
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs? I mean, look, I'm not

1273
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: going to compare him to Andrew Luck, but obviously they

1274
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs last year with Andrew Luck. Ideally,

1275
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: do I think they're good enough around him? No, But

1276
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: the one thing they do have is a solid old line. Hey, Greg,

1277
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: got another Sunday late game. The Lions go out West

1278
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: to face Kyler Murray in his NFL debut. We may

1279
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: have talked about this with you over the last couple

1280
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: of weeks. I saw Cardinals twice, I think in preseason.

1281
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: I know it's only preseason, but I think the Cardinals

1282
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: are in deep, deep trouble this year. Regardless of you know,

1283
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: how Murray does. You're agree? What do you think? You

1284
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: know what? That's a wait and see for me, Murph.

1285
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: I think their old line is going to be better

1286
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: than people think as the year progresses. I don't think

1287
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: it'll be really good, you know, necessarily week one, but

1288
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: I think if you look at the personnel, I think

1289
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: it'll get better. What we don't know is what that

1290
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: offense will look like. Obviously you didn't see in preseason

1291
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: what I'm sure Cliff Kingsbury is going to try to

1292
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: do once the regular season starts. And I do like

1293
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's skill set, so and they still have David Johnson,

1294
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: so I'm I'm a little I think their defense is

1295
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: a little interesting too, and could be a bigger problem

1296
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: than their offense. So I'm very anxious to see that game.

1297
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: That's one of the games that were from a film

1298
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: study perspective. I can't wait to look at Monday or

1299
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday after they play Sunday. I agree with you, what

1300
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: have you gotten any glimpse of? And I can't even

1301
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: remember the nickname that Cliff Kingsbury's offense had in college.

1302
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: But I have a hard time thinking that it's going

1303
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: to be transformative to the extent that they're kind of

1304
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: marketing it as. I agree, because I think there are

1305
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: certain things about the NFL that prevent a lot of

1306
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: these college offenses from sort of transitioning exactly the same way,

1307
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: and one of those things is the hash marks. You know,

1308
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: I think the NFL game becomes a little tighter, and

1309
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: it becomes more difficult to do some of the things

1310
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: you can do in college where the wide side of

1311
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: the field is really wide. So again, I'm not saying

1312
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: he's not going to have some good ideas or he's

1313
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: going to have some concepts that we say, wow, that's interesting.

1314
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: But I agree with you, Stephen, you used a good word.

1315
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be transformative. One last guy, I

1316
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: want to ask you about Ezekiel Elliott came back into

1317
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 1: training camp and got into the Cowboys just in time

1318
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: for Week one talk. I just want to know what's

1319
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: your opinion of his ability to affect everything around him

1320
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Well, I think for the last three

1321
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: years he's been the driving force of the team. The

1322
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: offense has worked through him. They've been able to control

1323
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: the football, they've been able to control patient tempo of games,

1324
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: they've been able to shorten the games. Their defense place

1325
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: fewer snaps, and they do have a good defense. So

1326
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: I think he's been the driving force of that team.

1327
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 1: I think it all somewhat stay that way. You know. Look,

1328
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 1: I think at some point they probably feel that Dak

1329
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Prescott can become a really good player. He's been a

1330
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 1: complimentary piece up to this point. They have a young

1331
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:27,480
Speaker 1: coordinator who I think will bring some college type concepts

1332
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: as far as backfield actions, run game with the quarterback.

1333
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: I think you'll see that. But look, we've been joking

1334
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: around in our matchup room that we wouldn't be surprised

1335
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: if Zeke has twenty five carries on Sunday. Yeah, well

1336
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: he's got over He's got between air and fifty and

1337
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: nine hundred for three years of his career. So yeah,

1338
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: he's got to get on schedule, no, no question. I

1339
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: mean they didn't sign him for him to become a

1340
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: complimentary piece. Yeah, he's no decoy. And one more for you, Greg,

1341
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: And it's about another offense that I think could be interesting.

1342
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: In fact, John Harbaugh said is Ravens offense will be

1343
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 1: like nothing we've ever seen before. They're going to Miami

1344
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: to play the Dolphins the one o'clock on Sunday. What

1345
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: do you think they have in mind? There is this

1346
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: all just belogny window dressing. What do you think of

1347
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Ravens have in mind? Well, I think those are easy

1348
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: things to say. Look, Greg Romans the offensive coordinator, He

1349
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator in San Francisco for the two

1350
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: years of Kaepernick. You know, I don't think it'll be

1351
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: anything we've never seen before. But I think Lamar Jackson

1352
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: in their mind, will be a significant part of the

1353
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 1: design of the offense as a runner. And we'll see

1354
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,600
Speaker 1: how many carries he gets. You know, we did some

1355
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: stat research. You know, Michael Vick had over one hundred

1356
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: twenty carries for a couple of years in Atlanta. Cam

1357
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:45,759
Speaker 1: Newton has had well over one hundred twenty carries numerous times.

1358
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But I think I don't think they're

1359
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: thinking about where Lamar Jackson stands seventy years from now.

1360
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to win a Super Bowl in

1361
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Yeah, I agree with that. Is is their

1362
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 1: defense going to be good enough? You know, they lost

1363
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,760
Speaker 1: some people. They have really good corners. So when you

1364
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: have really good corners, I think you feel like you

1365
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 1: can do a lot of things with your pressure concepts

1366
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: and with other parts of your coverage. Hey, Greg, what's

1367
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,320

1368

Speaker 1: game or what do you guys do for this No,

1369
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: we can't do that, Murph. So we only have twenty

1370
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,639
Speaker 1: one minutes of real time. So we did six games

1371
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: and we actually did a new segment we're calling rapid Fire,

1372
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: and this week we looked at some defensive tackles in

1373
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: the league. So yeah, so we really do six or

1374
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: seven games because you know what we try not to

1375
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 1: be as a SoundBite show. Yeah right, we got that covered.

1384
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: he's wired into what's going on. His take on what

1385
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: the Packers Bears game looked like, He's right, it was

1386
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: a fourth preseason game for not even a fourth presea

1387
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 1: It was a preseason game, and and that's just I mean,

1388
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: you can put this into the hopper by the conversation

1389
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: of what do they do with the preseason, how much

1390
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 1: it means, well, it meant something last night, right, The

1391
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 1: Packers didn't look very good, Aaron, Aaron Rodgers didn't look

1392
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: that good last night. Yeah. I forget about Mitch Trubisky.

1393
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the expectations were for him,

1394
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: but man, you expect Aaron Rodgers came. I remember last

1395
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: year an Opening Day, what a great game that Games

1396
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 1: of the year year. So now because yeah, so did

1397
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: they have the same valid to go back and look?

1398
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know if they had the exact same philosophy.

1399
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: But he didn't play a snap this year. I don't

1400
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: know if he played any last year. But whatever they

1401
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 1: did last year to get him reorridy for that game

1402
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: is what they should have done this year to get

1403
01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: him ridy for this game. Because he looked bad. It

1404
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: was awful, Okay, was bad. Hey, what do you think?

Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills. From James. From James,

1465
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: predict the Bills record this season. I'm sticking with my

1466
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 1: pick of ten. Listen, how do you say? Listen on Twitter?

1467
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Listen to Hey, Hey, I'm look I say it on

1468
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: the air all the time. Listen, but on Twitter listen.

1469
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,679
Speaker 1: Both are both should be both our court doing my Twitter?

1470
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 1: Am I going to correct Twitter? We're not getting very

1471
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: far on this tweet. Both our coordinators have losing records.

1472
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: I think that starts to change this season. I believe

1473
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: they're finally putting together a squad of their guys under

1474
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 1: the right leadership. Anything as possible, Go Bills. Sticking with

1475
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: ten win all right, it's from Andrew. He also says

1476
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 1: seven to nine wins seems very likely. They should be

1477
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: able to start off four and oh with teams they

1478
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: have in front of the schedule. In the front of

1479
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 1: the schedule, there you go. That includes the Patriots there too.

1480
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: From Andrew, who may not have read down, I don't know,

1481
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 1: did you look at all four we'll see. Jose tweets this,

1482
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: and I predict a nine and seven record that will

1483
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 1: be improvement from last year and will three games better.

1484
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: He goes on to say, I believe they had the

1485
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: potential to win ten or more if injuries stay away

1486
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:54,680
Speaker 1: from key players. Yeah, that's a major factor. Seven to ten.

1487
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: You can't pick seven to ten wins. Jose, you said

1488
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: ten plots, but ten and I said eleven plus? What

1489
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,679
Speaker 1: you said eleven plus? Yeah? Why do you get a plus?

1490
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: And he can't say ten or more same thing. You

1491
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: don't put a floor and ceiling on right, All Right,

1492
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: here we go from Max. He says this definitely, this

1493
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: is definitely a week to week league. That is a

1494
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 1: murphism right there. It's a week to week league, and

1495
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: after a couple of bad weeks, my mentality could definitely change.

1496
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: We know that, but right now, it's hard for me

1497
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: to envision less than ten wins. The talent and depth

1498
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 1: is there, with a good culture, they're built for success

1499
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:32,640
Speaker 1: this season. I kind of go along with all of that.

1500
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 1: This is kind of a year where I don't know

1501
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: that there's anything they would have done differently or done

1502
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: more of, or if there's somebody on the team or

1503
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 1: a facet of the team that they would say I

1504
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: wish this wasn't the same or were kind of we

1505
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: kind of may do with this group. I think this

1506
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: team is built exactly the way they like it. Don't

1507
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: you think exactly is talking? Okay, They're not perfect. I

1508
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 1: mean maybe they'd want a guy like Beyon Bell or

1509
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: se Quon Barkley or Zeke Elliott. I'm sure they'd love

1510
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: to have more time together with that offensive line, which

1511
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: will line up and play this Sunday. I wonder if

1512
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: they had a different view of what they might have

1513
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: a tight end. Right, Croft is not ready. You can't

1514
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: do anything about it. But yeah, so I think about

1515
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: that a little bit. It's hard to poke holes in

1516
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:24,760
Speaker 1: their off season though, You're right, given what they had

1517
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: in front of him. I mean, they could. They weren't

1518
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 1: getting Levy on Bell, they were going to spend that money.

1519
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: They weren't gonna get a guy like Zeke Elliott, and

1520
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: they got Croft and he didn't go down until, you know,

1521
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,680
Speaker 1: until his foot got injured. I mean, they felt he

1522
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: was going to be healthy, so, you know, and he's

1523
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 1: gonna be back before the six weeks. You know, it's

1524
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 1: hard to say that this offseason didn't go according to

1525
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 1: plan for the Buffalo Bills. And it's the you know,

1526
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,919
Speaker 1: the second full one with both Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott,

1527
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: third one with Sean McDermott. I don't know, it's kind

1528
01:17:58,200 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: of hard that. You got to think, man, they've got

1529
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: some expectations. Well yeah, and that's what we're gauging today

1530
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,719
Speaker 1: what the fans think predict the Bills record. Jack tweets

1531
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 1: this and my heart says ten or eleven, My head

1532
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: says nine. Either way, I think they will look much

1533
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: better than last year. The defense will be as good

1534
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: or better, the line will be improved. Hopefully Josh Allen

1535
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:18,640
Speaker 1: and the running game step up. They'll be in the

1536
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,679
Speaker 1: hunt for the playoffs and playing meaningful games. In December.

1537
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: You had the famous top five defense prediction right around

1538
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: this time last year. Yeah, I'm saying eleven wins now, right,

1539
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 1: But there's your defense. They're not going to get worse defensively, No,

1540
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 1: but when you get up might go down right, right,

1541
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: The ranking could change, But I think they're gonna play

1542
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 1: every bit as good as they did last year, probably better.

1543
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they're not gonna They're another team somewhere

1544
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: across the league might give up fewer yards than they

1545
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: do or whatever. And I think you got to look

1546
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: at the way they were last year. Some of it

1547
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 1: was helped or altered by the offenses they were playing,

1548
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: because those offenses were kind of playing against our offense.

1549
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, we had this was an offense last year

1550
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: for the Bills who struggle to score points, so they

1551
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: never really you know, so other teams would come in

1552
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: with that kind of mentality, playing complimentary football, not turning

1553
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: it over, and you felt like you were going to

1554
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,600
Speaker 1: be in it at the end with it and win it.

1555
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be the case this year.

1556
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: I think the Bills defense is going to be tested

1557
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: a lot more this year than it was a year ago.

1558
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: Even if they play better, you know they're going to

1559
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: be tested even more this year as well. So they

1560
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: may not, you know, I still think they're gonna be

1561
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: top ten with a bullet easy. Along with that easy,

1562
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: what do you think? How many wins for the Bills

1563
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: this year? Let's take a few phone calls on this.

1564
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: Jeremy on the line from Louisiana. Hello, Jeremy from way

1565
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: down south? How are you good? And do it well? So?

1566
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: I love y'all's enthusiasm. You are awesome, But I got

1567
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: to pump the brakes, man, I could say eight and eight.

1568
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: The AFC is just so stacked this year. I just

1569
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: like what San Diego Los Angeles is doing over there.

1570
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: We already know the Chiefs are gonna win that division.

1571
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is always bringing it. Were looking at Cleveland's up

1572
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: and coming. Baltimore looks good and even though the Colts

1573
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,600
Speaker 1: lost Andrew Luck. They still look like a lot of

1574
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: people think that they're going to do really well. And

1575
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: even the Jets, I got to give them the slight edge.

1576
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: I love Josh Allen, but I think Sam Donald's just

1577
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: a little bit ahead of them right now. And by

1578
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: the way, you did mention a team just north of Boston.

1579
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 1: I can't remember their name. No, I don't even got

1580
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: to mention them. Yeah, that's yeah, you're right. And if

1581
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: you if you go that, that's nine. That's eight teams

1582
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned there, and there's only room for

1583
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: six in the playoffs. Something's got to change, something's unexpected,

1584
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:45,679
Speaker 1: has to change with that hierarchy you said, And you're right, Jeremy.

1585
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: You go down the list of teams that kind of

1586
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 1: seemed to always be there, and it's in the AFC.

1587
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: It's New England, it's Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and it's also

1588
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: in this year, the last year or two, it's the

1589
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Chiefs. I like what Houston's all in

1590
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, they're gonna they're gonna make some

1591
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 1: noise this year. But hey, let me ask you, this

1592
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 1: is eight and eight a disappointing year. I mean it's

1593
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 1: still step in the right direction. I mean, I'd be

1594
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 1: okay with it. Nine to seven would be better, But

1595
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: that's what I think the ceiling is this year. Well,

1596
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 1: it depends on what it looks like. Yeah, I agree

1597
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:24,440
Speaker 1: with that. No, Yeah, eight wins would be a little disappointing,

1598
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 1: But I want to get something when you talk about, yes,

1599
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 1: you're right, the AFC is tough, but if it might

1600
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: help to look at it in these terms of all

1601
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 1: these AFC playoff contenders, who can the Bills affect? Right?

1602
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: And if you look at it that way, there's not

1603
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: a lot. They play Pittsburgh, they played Baltimore, they play

1604
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: New England twice, Cleveland, Right, So four of their opponents

1605
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 1: are legitimate AFC playoff contenders, I guess. And that's all

1606
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: they can affect, you know, So do your business with

1607
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,600
Speaker 1: the other teams in the AFC and the NFC they

1608
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: play and let those other teams kind of, you know,

1609
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 1: wipe themselves out in a year like this. In a

1610
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 1: year like this, you got to think the Giants and

1611
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: Angles don't have high expectations? Are the Titans are saying

1612
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: they do, But I don't know. The Dolphins twice, the Redskins,

1613
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, the Broncos or question Mark and that. You know.

1614
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of teams in there that you think, Okay,

1615
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: you might give the Bills the edge over some of those, Um,

1616
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: but playoff contenders, the playoffs can beat who in the AFC?

1617
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 1: Who do they face? Patriots twice got it, Um, Browns

1618
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: got it, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh got it, Baltimore got it. Anybody

1619
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,599
Speaker 1: else that you think, well, they're valuing for a playoff

1620
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,720
Speaker 1: position with that AFC team, I don't think. And you

1621
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets and the Bills, think of it.

1622
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: Recite that statue you did to me the last five years,

1623
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: the Jets and Bills. Who do you think has more wins?

1624
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 1: I asked Steve this question, and you I said Jets.

1625
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 1: I would have answered Jets too, and it was not.

1626
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: Over the last five years, the Bills have eleven more wins.

1627
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 1: There they have thirty nine wins. The Jets have twenty

1628
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: eight two wins a year on average. Over the last

1629
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: five years, the Bills have out outdone the Jets. That

1630
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 1: was surprising to me. Yeah, I thought it surprised me. Um.

1631
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: Let's take another phone call here, Stephen archer Park. Hello, Steve,

1632
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us on Guys. Okay, um um,

1633
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm with Steve. People are asking me about a month ago.

1634
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's laying their predictions. I was, I said

1635
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: eleven a month ago, and I'm I'm gonna stick with it.

1636
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: I think they'll go six and two on the front

1637
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: half and five and three on the back end. And

1638
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: I just think that the additions on offense are really

1639
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 1: going to put them in position to win a lot

1640
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:41,600
Speaker 1: more games than they did last year. And U you

1641
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 1: know we I think we scored twenty one points in

1642
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 1: four games last year or less. And I think I

1643
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: expect them to be a team that puts up at

1644
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 1: least I would say about twenty four points in average

1645
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: per game this year with some of the weapons they have.

1646
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: Hope or expect a little what do you hope or

1647
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: expect that? No, I truly expect them to be that

1648
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: type of offense with with the people they've added, and um,

1649
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 1: if you just you know, look around and see what

1650
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 1: kind of players we have now on offense and with

1651
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 1: the additions on the line, I just think that can

1652
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:20,759
Speaker 1: be a pretty strong team. And you know, our defense

1653
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: was number two in the league last year. What are

1654
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: they gonna be this year with a much better offense? Um? So,

1655
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: I just you know, I know it's football season because

1656
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: they already got the Sunday meal planned. And what do

1657
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 1: you got? What do you got going on Sunday? Well,

1658
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna start off with some steze pick an ox

1659
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 1: roast beef uh, chicken wings on the grill. Uh. We're

1660

01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: gonna have a Grandma Opal's homemade apple pie. Wow. So

1663
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: you're going locale and healthy this year. There is no

1664
01:24:54,240 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: calories on on Sunday, Johnny, Just so you know. Also, hey, Steve,

1665
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: six games last year the Bill scored twenty points or better.

1666
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 1: Six Okay, that's not good enough. You know, Well, of

1667
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 1: course a couple of them, you know, the Jet game

1668
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:11,760
Speaker 1: and then the Miami game at the end of the year.

1669
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 1: They scored forty in both of those games. But everything

1670
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: else there was you know, twenty points have used that

1671
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: as a as a floor. Only six times were they

1672
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: able to do it. And that's that's just not good enough.

1673
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,720
Speaker 1: That's just not good enough. But I'm pumped, so I'm

1674
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: ready to go. All right, I am too. I'm hungry

1675
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: after listening to where do you live? By the way,

1676
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: I want to come by. Okay, I'm teasing, don't say that.

1677
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 1: Got a break coming up? We're hungry. We're gonna play

1678
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: What's for lunch? When we return? Come on back. It

1679
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: is one Bills Live or Company from Arseneca Studio in

Speaker 1: Orchard Park, and this is Buffalo Bills. Reado, go rolls along.

1681
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,120
Speaker 1: We got Lorenzo Alexander coming by at two o'clock the

1682
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 1: Friday edition of The Lowdown Today. We are two days away,

1683
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: two days away from this season opening the Bills and

1684
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Giddy. I'm a little bit giddy.

1685
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm a little excited him too. What he got there?

1686
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm ready for Are you ready for lunch? Am? All right?

1687
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 1: Sit down on my restaurant and the waitress will come

1688
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 1: over and show poper gum while we wait. Seen you

1689
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 1: haven't seen these yet? I want that little tiny piece

1690
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 1: of mackerel in between. Right. This is like this is

1691
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 1: when you sit down and you don't you sit down

1692
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 1: a new restaurant and you're gonna open them on you

1693
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 1: for the first time. Here we go. What's more likely

1694
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: to happen versus the Jets? Josh Allen throws for three

1695
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,640
Speaker 1: hundred plus yards or he rushes for fifty plus. Who

1696
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: three hundred plus throwing or fifty passing? No, fifty fifty running.

1697
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm going with fifty running. I'm looking it up. He

1698
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 1: had a big run. What did they say in the

1699
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 1: loss to the Jets last year? He had one hundred

1700
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: and one yards rushing and he had a thirty one

1701
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 1: yard run in that game. So if he gets one

1702
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 1: of those, then he's close to fifty. I think it's

1703
01:26:57,040 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 1: more likely to happen. I'm not saying I'm rooming for

1704
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 1: it to happen, but I think it's more like happen

1705
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 1: if you get three hundred yards passing. You know, stop

1706
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:05,640
Speaker 1: the presses that we're having a parade down an. That's

1707
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: an easy appetizer because we've seen him do that in

1708
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: like one series. So I'm gonna say, yeah, that's good.

1709
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna run for Probably gonna run for fifty yards

1710
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: or more more is more likely than him throwing for

1711
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: three hundred All right, Second, who rushes for more yards

1712
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 1: the Jets are Bills. Who has more rushing yards at

1713
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day, good questions is a good question.

1714
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I think I have to I

1715
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 1: think I have to go to the Jets. I don't

1716
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 1: like to hear that. I know. Don't tell me why.

1717
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: I just think because they're gonna be committed to it.

1718
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: With Levon Bill, I think this is a I think

1719
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 1: a run defense is untested thus far this season. I

1720
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: think teams were doing a lot of stupid stuff in

1721
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: the preseason and it was all kind of anticipatory for

1722
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: the Bills defense. I think they're gonna get caught off

1723
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: guard by a couple of things. I'm gonna go Bills.

1724
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean we've hit now. Two expert observers, uh Greg

1725
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: Cosell today and Rich again and yesterday talk about a

1726
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 1: tempo based offense for the Jets right, which means to

1727
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:57,720
Speaker 1: me they're gonna want to throw it and move it

1728
01:27:57,760 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: down field quickly. So I think the Bills were probably

1729
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: more rushing attempts, so I think they'll probably get more

1730
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 1: yarm I like what you said there. That's pretty that's

1731
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: actually I think I want to change my order all

1732
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:09,639
Speaker 1: right now. I'll take the jet. You take it all

1733
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 1: right here, Packard, Now here's an outside of Buffalos is

1734
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 1: off the menu. Packers defense or offense will lead them

1735
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: in two thousand nineteen. That's a good question. You see

1736
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: that game last night. I watched two its entirety, and

1737
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 1: now I didn't pay the price. I am too. Um. Yeah,

1738
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:27,679
Speaker 1: it was a terrible segment in the show called nap time.

1739
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 1: What do you think? Do you think the Packard defense

1740
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:35,320
Speaker 1: can key them this year? No, I think they're still

1741
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers team and they're gonna be look a lot

1742
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 1: different once everybody gets I think they'll look a lot

1743
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 1: different once everybody gets warmed up and ready to go

1744
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 1: than they did last night. No, I think it's an

1745
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers team. I think they off I think it is,

1746
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: and I think Aaron Rodger's gonna play better than you

1747
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 1: did last night. But I still think the defense is

1748
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 1: what's been missing, and I think that's what's going to

1749
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 1: put them over the top this year. If they get

1750
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:54,599
Speaker 1: deep into the playoffs, it's gonna be because their defense

1751
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 1: plays a lot like it did last night against the Bears.

1752
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,679
Speaker 1: They were really good last night, really good. I'm gonna

1753
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:01,759
Speaker 1: say yes. I'm gonna say that they'll take the defense

1754
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: on that, you take the offense, all right, next mite,

1755
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm on the menu. What's the bigger upset in Week one?

1756
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Would it be Jaguars over the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville

1757
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: over Kansas City, or Carolina over the Rams? The Panthers

1758
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: over the Rams, which would be a bigger upset. I'm

1759
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: going Jaguars. I don't believe in the Jaguars. They are

1760
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:21,799
Speaker 1: home against Kansas City a one o'clock kickoff on Sunday.

1761
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City the favorite, so that would be an upset.

1762
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: A lot of people like the Jags. Who do we have?

1763
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 1: Was it Mortonson? Somebody just yesterday talked about how they

1764
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: could be the team to win the AFC South. I

1765
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 1: think they'd be a bigger upset, though. I think the

1766
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 1: Panthers are a quality team. The Rams on the road

1767
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 1: in Carolina, I think that's kind of a It's not

1768
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 1: a brutal game for them, but it's a test. I

1769
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 1: go with the Jags winning is a big rup I

1770
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: agree too. I think that I think the Jags are

1771
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,919
Speaker 1: coming back from further down last year than the Carolina

1772
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 1: Panthers were. They had a Panthers had an injured quarterback,

1773
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:53,599
Speaker 1: they get him one hundred percent this year to begin

1774
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 1: the season in the Chiefs. Nobody is picking them not

1775
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs and be in the mix of

1776
01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:01,240
Speaker 1: it deep into the postseason. And the Jags are coming

1777
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 1: from nowhere the AFC South, who's considered a weak division,

1778
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 1: and they're not even a couple of people have favored them.

1779
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Most people don't even mention them. So I'm gonna say.

1780
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Jags over the Chiefs would be

1781
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 1: a much bigger upset than if the Panthers beat the Rams. Okay,

1782
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 1: better season without Who's going to have a better season Roethlisberger,

1783
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger without Antonio Brown or Leveon Bell or Tom

1784
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:30,160
Speaker 1: Brady without Gronkowski, Who's gonna have the better season? This

1785
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 1: is individually? I would think, Wow, this was my next question. Yeah,

1786
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: I think it's individually. I think Roethlisberger will have better numbers, Yeah,

1787
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 1: because I think the Patriots demonstrated last year they're ready

1788
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: to run the ball more. But I think the Patriots

1789
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 1: will go farther in the playoffs probably, so Roethlisberger will

1790
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 1: have a better quarterback numbers and look like a better

1791
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 1: season than Brady. But Brady will look fine. I'm doing

1792
01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 1: the other way. I think Ben Roethlisberg is gonna do it.

1793
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a great season. He's got a chip

1794
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:58,599
Speaker 1: on his shoulder, He's got a lot of gas left

1795
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: in his tank. And I think the whole Pitsburg team

1796
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,720
Speaker 1: is going to be motivated to do it. I think

1797
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the division over the Cleveland Browns and

1798
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:07,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. And I think Pittsburgh is going to be

1799
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 1: a team that goes deep into the playoffs. And I

1800
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 1: think the rate the New England Patriots as per my

1801
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 1: eleven win season for the Bills, I think the Patriots

1802
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,679
Speaker 1: are going to take a little half baby step backwards.

1803
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: What ten wins, eight wins? Night maybe okay, yeah, that

1804
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 1: would be yeah, a baby step would be somewhere like

1805
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: eleven or ten wins ten wins? Right, that's my call?

1806
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 1: All right, So I think Roethlisberger. Okay, all right, last

1807
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:31,880
Speaker 1: item on the menu, and then we gotta go. Who

1808
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:40,040
Speaker 1: wins the NFC West, Rams, Niners, Seahawks, Cardinals. I didn't

1809
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 1: mean to laugh when I said Cardinals. You asking me,

1810
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm going Rams. I think the Niners are improved, but

1811
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 1: not quite ready. I think Seattle is probably better, but

1812
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 1: not quite ready. I think the Rams have at least

1813
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 1: one more year of winning that division. I'm not saying

1814
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 1: owning or dominating, but winning that division. Well coached. Defense

1815
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:03,800
Speaker 1: is with Wade, and the offense is pretty good too.

1816
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 1: It's great, nearly nearly great. I think the Rams win

1817
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:09,479
Speaker 1: that division. I'll say the Seattle Seahawks are gonna win

1818
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 1: it because of Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll, the stability of

1819
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 1: the organization, and the fact they just traded for Jadeveon

1820
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 1: Clowney that's going to help their defense. They have started

1821
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 1: to They are the one organization who has been in

1822
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:24,160
Speaker 1: the mix out there for a while now, and they've

1823
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 1: done it a couple of different ways. Certainly the Legion

1824
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 1: of Boom back in twenty twelve thirteen when they put

1825
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,600
Speaker 1: together a dominant run defensively. Now they've evolved and now

1826
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: it's Russell Wilson's team and they find way and found

1827
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: ways and built their team to win other ways. I've

1828
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:38,600
Speaker 1: really got to tip my hat to Pete Carroll in

1829
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: the job they did out in Seattle, and I think

1830
01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 1: they'll be rewarded this year with a division title. Good lunch.

1831
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 1: It was good lunch, good discussion. We're gonna have a

1832
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 1: good discussion with Lorenzo Alexander when we come back. I'm

1875
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 1: it seems like it's been a long time since I

1876
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 1: hung out with both of you guys. Everybody doing well.

1877
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 1: You've been busy, yeah, yeah, you know, obviously finishing up

1878
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 1: training camp and getting ready for this week. But it's

1879
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:36,680
Speaker 1: been it's been good. I'm glad to be back to

1880
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:40,000
Speaker 1: We've been doing good. We've been really good over here.

1881
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, everybody's doing good. You're doing well. The

1882
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:47,200
Speaker 1: captain again, fifteenth year in the league or fifteen year,

1883
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 1: fifteenth year, you know, thirteenth year, playing my first two

1884
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 1: were practice quid. You bet you've been a captain what

1885
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 1: at least eight or nine years? Yeah, probably around eight

1886
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 1: or nine because a couple of years when I was

1887
01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 1: here with Rex, he didn't have captains. And then when

1888
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 1: I was younger playing behind London Fletcher was and the captain.

1889
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:01,800
Speaker 1: So it took me a couple of years to earn

1890
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 1: the trust of my teammates. Because most teams allow the

1891
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:07,559
Speaker 1: locker rooms to vote on that share what it means

1892
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 1: to you. I mean, it's a huge honnerum because obviously

1893
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 1: here Sean allows the guys to vote for captains. And

1894
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, obviously for guys to recognize my leadership um

1895
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:19,640
Speaker 1: qualities and the way I play this game and the

1896
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 1: way I carry myself on and off the field means

1897
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:25,519
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, anytime your your your peers recognize you,

1898
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:28,080
Speaker 1: it means a lot more than when something is designated

1899
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:30,519
Speaker 1: by you know, the head coach or you know, the

1900
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:32,560
Speaker 1: media or something else of that nature. It's kind of

1901
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:35,519
Speaker 1: cool about this group of Bills captains. There are at

1902
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 1: least two second year players and one third year player

1903
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 1: Dan Dawkins. That's young to have captains a young well, yeah,

1904
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 1: this team is a young team, and I think you, UM,

1905
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 1: I think people recognize the talent and those guys, the

1906
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,400
Speaker 1: leadership qualities and those guys. And it also shows that

1907
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 1: age doesn't necessarily or your financial means necessarily doesn't mean

1908
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,680
Speaker 1: that you're a leader. UM. You know, you can be UM,

1909
01:36:58,240 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 1: a young guy in this league, can be a guy

1910
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, on a minimum deal in this league,

1911
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 1: and still we have leadership qualities. All right, enough about

1912
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 1: all that. I can tell me more about that. Don't

1913
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets coach McDermott in the past his head,

1914
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: I guess he called it a leadership council. Yeah, does

1915
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 1: that still existing? Is that? Yeah? That still exists. That's

1916
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,960
Speaker 1: actually a little bit different. Um that that group includes,

1917
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,839
Speaker 1: I want to say, everybody on there, UM, in addition

1918
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:24,439
Speaker 1: to some other leaders that um obviously we have on

1919
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:28,160
Speaker 1: our team, you know, like Michael Hyde, Star Lotton late league, UM,

1920
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:31,680
Speaker 1: other guys position groups or if not all the positions. Yeah,

1921
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:33,920
Speaker 1: he normally identifies one or two guys from each position

1922
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,439
Speaker 1: group to be a part of that UM leadership council.

1923
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 1: And how does he use that group? UM. Things may

1924
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 1: come up, whether like for example, do we want padded

1925
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:46,560
Speaker 1: practices on UM Wednesday versus Thursday, or you know, what

1926
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 1: does our dress code want to be, or how do

1927
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:50,080
Speaker 1: we want to travel maybe for a West Coast team,

1928
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:52,120
Speaker 1: do we want to leave two days early or or

1929
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 1: a day early or any other things that may come

1930
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 1: up internally that he feels that should be maybe player driven.

1931
01:37:58,200 --> 01:37:59,680
Speaker 1: Steve wants to move on. But we talked about this

1932
01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 1: little bit the other day. How Sean, Now he's only

1933
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,320
Speaker 1: in a third year, but he seems to have a

1934
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,439
Speaker 1: knack for wanting to being open to change. Right, he

1935
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:09,479
Speaker 1: will change what he's set up one year, right, Yeah,

1936
01:38:09,479 --> 01:38:12,639
Speaker 1: if it makes sense. I mean, I think he's he's

1937
01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:15,960
Speaker 1: locked in on his his standard and fundamentals or some

1938
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 1: things are non negotiable. But some things that really, you know,

1939
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 1: may may not make a big difference as far as

1940
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,720
Speaker 1: our process, you know, and it may be benefit. Like

1941
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 1: for example, UM, this year, I think we're going to

1942
01:38:29,439 --> 01:38:34,720
Speaker 1: come out and do individual m introductions before a game.

1943
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 1: When we first got here that the other I guess

1944
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,519
Speaker 1: our other team wanted to come out as a group.

1945
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 1: But this team has changed over the years. You have

1946
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 1: some younger guys who never really got a chance to

1947
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:45,800
Speaker 1: do that as much younger, and guys wanted to do

1948
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 1: individual introduction. It's not about me, me, me, but you

1949
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:50,599
Speaker 1: know when you grow up, that's something that you want

1950
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 1: to do. Gab to run out the tunnel, and so

1951
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, coming to him as a group of leaders, a,

1952
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 1: I think some of the guys rather do this, you know,

1953
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 1: they really like this to do it. Come and have

1954
01:38:57,920 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: him hammed up, and he's okay, that makes sense. Cool,

1955
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,160
Speaker 1: let's do that. You know. So things of that nature

1956
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 1: and some other things that are probably a little bit

1957
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 1: more important, definitely a change, a bunch of stuff. Three,

1958
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 1: he wants you to guys to disseminate. Maybe it heads up,

1959
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, like say hey, what do you think about this?

1960
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 1: And so it disseminates information a different way throughout the

1961
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 1: locker room. Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right, So what's gonna

1962
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 1: happen with Levy on this weekend? Nobody really knows. I know,

1963
01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 1: it's hard. I mean, he hasn't played football in over

1964
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:29,280
Speaker 1: five hundred days, almost two years now, and so for us,

1965
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, he had to go back and look at

1966
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: some Pittsburgh film and kind of refresh and remind yourself

1967
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 1: of how he runs. We know he's very patient, he

1968
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: takes his time and a very explosive wants he gets

1969
01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: to that whole, and very dynamic when he gets to

1970
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 1: the second level. So our job really this week is

1971
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:46,680
Speaker 1: to be very disciplined in our run gaps, making sure

1972
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 1: guys are ripping off of blocks to help get him down.

1973
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 1: Because he is an elite back. Obviously, we don't know

1974
01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:55,160
Speaker 1: how rusty or what the lag would be because he

1975
01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:58,439
Speaker 1: hasn't played in a real live environment. But from from

1976
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:00,160
Speaker 1: my perspective, when you have that because I've been in

1977
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:02,840
Speaker 1: that situation being on r and missing thirteen games, when

1978
01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:04,640
Speaker 1: you come back and get hit and getting off the

1979
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 1: ground the first time, it can be the shock. So

1980
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: we really need to be able to populate the ball,

1981
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,920
Speaker 1: put bodies on him, and tackle well all game. Because

1982
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 1: he's known for getting stronger as games go on. What

1983
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: does that patients due to a potential tackler that he's

1984
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 1: got also signature more. He'll get the ball and stand

1985
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 1: there you can count. I mean it makes you antcy

1986
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: because most guys, especially if you're on the defensive side,

1987
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: I know this is true for me. I'm a very

1988
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:31,040
Speaker 1: aggressive downhill player, and when a guy is kind of

1989
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 1: hiding back. Then I don't know where he is. I may, okay,

1990
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:35,640
Speaker 1: he's going over there. Let me just run over there

1991
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 1: real quick. And you end up leaving your gap, and

1992
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 1: then he finds your gap as you're leaving it, and

1993
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:42,400
Speaker 1: then you end up giving up a twenty you know

1994
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 1: plus type explosion type run. And so you really have

1995
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 1: to just be disciplined way till we can miss you know,

1996
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:49,280
Speaker 1: the point of no return as we call it, and

1997
01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:51,559
Speaker 1: then rip off and then pursue the ball, and he does.

1998
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,280
Speaker 1: It feels like if you're watching it, he's back there

1999
01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 1: for ten seconds. It's probably more like eight tens of

2000
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:58,800
Speaker 1: a second, right, yeah, it does. And but you know,

2001
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,719
Speaker 1: I think to kind of bad that if our mindset

2002
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:04,639
Speaker 1: is defensive lineman is to get up, get up the field,

2003
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 1: and be disruptive. So if you're knocking their guards back,

2004
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 1: knocking their tackles back, you can be disruptive in some

2005
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: of that because now he's being patient four or five

2006
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:15,680
Speaker 1: yards deep instead of you know, a yard behind the

2007
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, just kind of dancing back as well.

2008
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 1: So this defense Top five defense, Top three defense a

2009
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:25,720
Speaker 1: year ago, returning with ten starters, and he even got

2010
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 1: deeper at the cornerback position and you got You've replaced

2011
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old five time pro bowler with a

2012
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:35,800
Speaker 1: first round draft pick a lot of abilities. How much

2013
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:39,439
Speaker 1: difference is this different? Is this defense going to be

2014
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:41,840
Speaker 1: or is he can he take another step forward as

2015
01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 1: a defense. Well that's our goal. I mean, I think

2016
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 1: even as as good as we were last year, and

2017
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 1: you know the rankings, you know the way they do it,

2018
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't really agree with it. So the yards giving

2019
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,160
Speaker 1: up and all that, but there's you know, third down

2020
01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:56,560
Speaker 1: efficiency and red zone efficiency or some some areas that

2021
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:58,639
Speaker 1: we will need to take another step forward and turning

2022
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 1: the ball over so stripping it picking it off more

2023
01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 1: often to really become an elite defense. Because we were

2024
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 1: good last year, but we never I never felt we were.

2025
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 1: We we dominated a game and won it for us.

2026
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 1: You know, Houston's probably the closest we came to that

2027
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:15,280
Speaker 1: and we end up losing that game. So the elite

2028
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: d when you think about Chicago, you think about the

2029
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:24,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens or even like the Houston Texans defense, they

2030
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 1: were creating wins for their teams with their defense. And

2031
01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:29,840
Speaker 1: that's the next step that we have to do, and

2032
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: you really can't rely on what we did last year. Yeah,

2033
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,720
Speaker 1: that's a great builder and you know, motivational from a

2034
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 1: mental standpoint, but we have to go out there and

2035
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:38,600
Speaker 1: earn it and establish that in the week one and

2036
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 1: then grow into that as we developed through this season.

2037
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:44,679
Speaker 1: Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander and studio with us talking about Sunday's

2038
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:47,120
Speaker 1: game about the upcoming season. We talked about Levi on Bell.

2039
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,519
Speaker 1: What about Sam Donald and how do you come How

2040
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:53,720
Speaker 1: would you compare him to your very own Josh Allen Well,

2041
01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't like comparing guys. I think obviously there are

2042
01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:58,760
Speaker 1: different guys. I think Sam has done a great job

2043
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 1: of growing, just like Josh ask both of these guys,

2044
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 1: if I guess, take bleeps and bounds. As far as

2045
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:04,800
Speaker 1: from year one to year two. As far as what

2046
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 1: I've seen so far from afar from from Sam, I

2047
01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 1: think he's a lot more confident in the pocket, patient

2048
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:13,559
Speaker 1: trying to go through some of his reads. He has

2049
01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 1: a better handle on his on their scheme and so

2050
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 1: he is making sure he can put them in the

2051
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 1: best or the most advantageous play. So he'll wait, you know,

2052
01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 1: to four five seconds left on the play clock to

2053
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:27,639
Speaker 1: see as the safety is going to hold their disguise,

2054
01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, whether single high one single or safety in

2055
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 1: the middle of field or split safeties to see, okay,

2056
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: do I want to do a run or a pass?

2057
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:38,000
Speaker 1: And so he's gotten better in that aspect, but he's

2058
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:41,360
Speaker 1: still very dynamic with his feet, and so we just

2059
01:43:41,439 --> 01:43:42,840
Speaker 1: need to be able to make make sure we get

2060
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:46,600
Speaker 1: him off his spot and make him worry about us

2061
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 1: versus trying to keep his eyes down field, because as

2062
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 1: you see if you're watching this at home, he's scrambling

2063
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 1: right down He's he still does a great job, much

2064
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson scrambles and is able to find people

2065
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 1: down the field. So we wanted to get him off

2066
01:43:56,840 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 1: his spot, but still kind of keep him in the

2067
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:02,639
Speaker 1: pocket per se versus letting him get out of the pocket.

2068
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: One big difference last year to this year. When you

2069
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 1: come into an opening day this year, you've got Tremaine

2070
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: Edmonds with an entire football season under his belt and

2071
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:13,680
Speaker 1: an entire off season under his belt. What changes have

2072
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:15,479
Speaker 1: you seen in his play? I mean this huge just

2073
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:17,479
Speaker 1: night and day, and I think he's even going to

2074
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 1: be better than what we saw towards the end of

2075
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 1: the season. I mean we're at the point to even

2076
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 1: in some instances where a teammate like to go no

2077
01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:25,800
Speaker 1: hudder or speed things up and you feel like you

2078
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,040
Speaker 1: just have to stay in maybe Cover three the whole time,

2079
01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:31,719
Speaker 1: we're at the point to where we can give Tremaine

2080
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:33,560
Speaker 1: four or five calls and give him an option. You

2081
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:35,560
Speaker 1: just hey, you just call the defense. And to be

2082
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: in your second year and the second year really playing Mike,

2083
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:39,679
Speaker 1: to be able to handle that and still play fast

2084
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 1: and be dominant, I think it's it's special. And so

2085
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:46,599
Speaker 1: it just speaks to his character. He's wanted to be great,

2086
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,720
Speaker 1: not just rely on his athleticism, but really grow his mind,

2087
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:51,840
Speaker 1: because that's what allows you to have long jevit in

2088
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:54,519
Speaker 1: this league. And so, like I said, last year and

2089
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 1: the next, this year, next year, he's going to start

2090
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 1: being the standard of what a MIC linebacker is and

2091
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:01,880
Speaker 1: will be in his league in the future. Does he

2092
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 1: come to you for advice or for input, Yeah, I

2093
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:06,800
Speaker 1: mean it kind of happens naturally. I mean he doesn't

2094
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, if I see something, we'll talk or he

2095
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, on the sideline, he may come and ask

2096
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 1: me a question. But it's not like he goes way

2097
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:14,160
Speaker 1: out of his way to ask me. But we do

2098
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 1: have conversations just you know, just talking ball and trying

2099
01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:20,800
Speaker 1: to figure out how things could possibly played out or

2100
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, how would I do it? But what I

2101
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 1: really what I've tried to do with him because he's

2102
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 1: so hard on himself. I like to try to play

2103
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 1: the good cop and try to build him up because

2104
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't want him to go so far to where

2105
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:34,840
Speaker 1: he's so overly critical, where he starts second guesting himself,

2106
01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 1: because he's too good of a player to do that

2107
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:39,679
Speaker 1: to himself. There's only one new starter on defense, Jed Oliver.

2108
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 1: I guess who might Merriman? I'd be I don't know,

2109
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 1: he's a starter. What do you think of his development

2110
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:47,120
Speaker 1: over the six weeks of trading campus. It's been great. Um,

2111
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's he's really learned or is

2112
01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 1: still in still in this process, you know, you know,

2113
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 1: working with Kyle as well being a smaller d lineman.

2114
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 1: How to play with your pads, Dann when teams really

2115
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:58,759
Speaker 1: want to run power or some of them scoop blocks

2116
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:00,760
Speaker 1: where you're dealing with bigger bodies. I think that's been

2117
01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 1: his biggest growth as far as how he handles those blocks. Um,

2118
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:07,760
Speaker 1: he's a natural pass rusher, a national player and a

2119
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:11,679
Speaker 1: space um. But he's just he's learned a lot about

2120
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 1: protections as well, you know, with her center's coming, how

2121
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,880
Speaker 1: he can rush guys working edges and so it's growth.

2122
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:20,560
Speaker 1: And obviously it's going to be a weekly progression with

2123
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:22,599
Speaker 1: him because there's a lot of things he hasn't seen

2124
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: or experienced yet, and as they come up, he'll learn

2125
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:27,840
Speaker 1: from the tape. Obviously, Kyler being his ear, I'll be

2126
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:29,680
Speaker 1: in his ear as much as possible as well, just

2127
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:32,160
Speaker 1: trying to help him continue to develop those those little

2128
01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 1: skills that allow you to be great in this league

2129
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 1: and not just um good. And that's what he has

2130
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 1: the potential to be with his talent. And one of

2131
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:40,759
Speaker 1: the things I asked you before we get to your lowdown,

2132
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,200
Speaker 1: one of the big stories around the league lately has

2133
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:46,080
Speaker 1: been hearing Buffalo it's about the culture. You got, you

2134
01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: got the right, Yeah, around the league, their culture isn't

2135
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:52,040
Speaker 1: always a thing. And you go out to Oakland and

2136
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:56,920
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Yeah, had a dust up with the GM

2137
01:46:57,720 --> 01:47:00,080
Speaker 1: and then this morning it's and we haven't report that

2138
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,920
Speaker 1: really had. He had an emotional apology to the team

2139
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:04,880
Speaker 1: with the team captain standing next to him. It looks

2140
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 1: like he probably will not get suspended by the Raiders

2141
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 1: pause of the game. How big I mean, this seems

2142
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 1: like a real a whole bunch of drama going into

2143
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 1: an opening week. Yeah. I've been on teams that have

2144
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:18,040
Speaker 1: drama like that that's not really associated about what's what's

2145
01:47:18,080 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 1: going on on the field, and and and it's it's

2146
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:23,719
Speaker 1: draining in the sense that his teammates have to answer

2147
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 1: questions about it. Derek Carr has to answer questions, you know,

2148
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 1: Rodney has to answer questions about the guys that you

2149
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 1: know are seeing as leaders, and so you're constantly asking

2150
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 1: what about Ab? What about Ab? So um, it can

2151
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: be hard. And then obviously as young guys, you've seen

2152
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 1: him act like this and then the coach is not

2153
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:41,400
Speaker 1: going to suspend him or something, So can I get

2154
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 1: away with it? But you know, I just I hope Ab.

2155
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't and I don't know him at all, but

2156
01:47:46,479 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 1: just watching how he is acting for me, I think

2157
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:52,960
Speaker 1: it's it may be something more, you know, from a

2158
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:55,920
Speaker 1: health side, you know, mental health side, maybe because guys

2159
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,120
Speaker 1: just don't are not all over the place like that,

2160
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:00,439
Speaker 1: and so hopefully he gets to help that he needs.

2161
01:48:00,479 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 1: Hopefully his teammates are kind of coming around him as well,

2162
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,800
Speaker 1: and that he can work out through whatever personal things

2163
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 1: that he's going through, so that he can, you know,

2164
01:48:08,400 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 1: play a game that he loves because he's great at it.

2165
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:12,560
Speaker 1: Obviously a Hall of Fame caliber, top style player. But

2166
01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you as especially as

2167
01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 1: as a person that's you know, involved with the PA,

2168
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 1: I want to make sure our men are healthy away

2169
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 1: from the game, because you can't play this forever. It

2170
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:24,880
Speaker 1: can't be your escape goal forever. And then so getting

2171
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:28,040
Speaker 1: that help now so as he transitions away from it, um,

2172
01:48:28,160 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 1: he can live, you know, a full and healthy life

2173
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:33,240
Speaker 1: away from the game, say mental health. As a league

2174
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: having a program for players to keep an eye on

2175
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 1: that and um, they right, it's confidential. They have resources,

2176
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:43,479
Speaker 1: but most guys don't use them. Um. And then some

2177
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,439
Speaker 1: things can be Max as just a player being a diva,

2178
01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 1: he's a receiver, you know, he's just doing his own thing.

2179
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 1: And so but for me just looking at it and

2180
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:54,160
Speaker 1: knowing guys and seeing some signs just kind of being

2181
01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:56,560
Speaker 1: all over the place. You just I just hope that

2182
01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:59,680
Speaker 1: if there is an underlying issue there, that he is

2183
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 1: getting some help. And I'm just putting that on it

2184
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 1: from mid This is just my perspective looking at it

2185
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:06,400
Speaker 1: from outside in. You know, I don't really know him

2186
01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,280
Speaker 1: or anything. I just hope hopefully, because people just don't

2187
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:11,400
Speaker 1: act like this, you know, and it's it's if it's

2188
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:13,599
Speaker 1: not one thing, it's something else. There's not something else

2189
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:16,040
Speaker 1: or something else. It's like he's never he's not satisfied,

2190
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 1: and so um, just hopefully everything works out there and

2191
01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:22,720
Speaker 1: that they you know, they come they come through this

2192
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 1: this storm with him and he comes out good on it.

2193
01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 1: Joy Alexander with us for his Friday Lowdown, and this

2194
01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:30,400
Speaker 1: is the fourth year you've done this segment with us. Yeah,

2195
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:33,600
Speaker 1: it's been great. What do you let's just set the

2196
01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:36,879
Speaker 1: terms here. What do you see the lowdown? Ass you're scouting,

2197
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:39,880
Speaker 1: reporting on the game, your anticipation of what might happen,

2198
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 1: You're what's on your mind, A little bit of everything,

2199
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 1: you know. Um, yeah, it's not one thing, you know,

2200
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 1: it's shifted into a lot of things. For a little bit.

2201
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 1: It was a lot of trash talking, you know, before

2202
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 1: Steve got on, you know, and now it's less trash talking. Um,

2203
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:59,479
Speaker 1: but um, we each encourage stress talking if you feel comfortable.

2204
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 1: It's not the same. It's not the same. I have

2205
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 1: too much respect for Steve, you know what I mean.

2206
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:12,600
Speaker 1: That's a problem. Yeah, away, but yeah, just just my

2207
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:14,880
Speaker 1: thoughts about what I think is going to happen. What's

2208
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:17,720
Speaker 1: important for us, um to capitalize on if we're going

2209
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 1: to if we want to have a chance of winning,

2210
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:23,519
Speaker 1: you know, the game. And these are your thoughts game. Um. Yeah, well,

2211
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's probably impacted by what I've been um

2212
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: um sitting in meetings and learning all week, as well

2213
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:32,680
Speaker 1: as my own film study as well. All Right, I

2214
01:50:32,720 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 1: just wanted to set the terms on the lowdown. Steve

2215
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:41,360
Speaker 1: Ultimate research pretty persnickety about rules. So let's talk about lowdown.

2216
01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:43,600
Speaker 1: Number one. You're saying dominate the line of scrimmage. That

2217
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:46,080
Speaker 1: means guys up front. But yeah, yeah, I mean obviously

2218
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 1: dominating the scar and scrimmage. You know, we're thinking about

2219
01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 1: um Levion Bell the running game, UM and in the

2220
01:50:52,120 --> 01:50:54,640
Speaker 1: dynamic ability that he brings to the game and how

2221
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,080
Speaker 1: patient he is, and we really need to push their

2222
01:50:57,160 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 1: line back, UM, make him have to make a decision

2223
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 1: work and then he wants to get a gut him

2224
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:04,040
Speaker 1: out of his comfort zone. And this play downhill and

2225
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:07,280
Speaker 1: obviously that help us helps us on later downs as well,

2226
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, first second down, if you're winning, dominating the

2227
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:11,640
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage we saw last night, if you can

2228
01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:13,920
Speaker 1: put pressure on the quarterback and put them in um

2229
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:17,840
Speaker 1: and advantageous third downs for us from a defensive standpoint,

2230
01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:20,599
Speaker 1: it can it can be a really good and fun

2231
01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:22,080
Speaker 1: night for us as far as being able to swarm

2232
01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:25,200
Speaker 1: to the ball and make some plays. And then obviously

2233
01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:27,519
Speaker 1: for our offense, we want to be able to knock

2234
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 1: those guys back because obviously Greg Williams is known for

2235
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:32,840
Speaker 1: dialing some crazy stuff up on third downs, and and

2236
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 1: we want to put him in the most nil of

2237
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:38,400
Speaker 1: defense possible because we're in third and threes, you know,

2238
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 1: third and fives, where he really I'm not quite sure

2239
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:42,799
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, you know, what kind of formations

2240
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 1: are gonna come out in and and so that's why

2241
01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 1: it's so important that we dominate that line of scrimmage.

2242
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:50,400
Speaker 1: And then obviously keeping Josh cleaning as well, um when

2243
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 1: he is back there, so that he can go through

2244
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 1: his progressions and throw the ball with confidence. If you're

2245
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna dominate defensively, dominate their line of scrimmage. You're up

2246
01:51:57,880 --> 01:51:59,800
Speaker 1: against an offensive line that hasn't played much of it

2247
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:02,599
Speaker 1: all this preseason. But some guys you know that were

2248
01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:05,439
Speaker 1: your teammate of assemblies. Maybe no, me and Kao miss

2249
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:06,920
Speaker 1: each other year I came here. I think it's a

2250
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 1: year that he's signed there from from Baltimore. UM. I

2251
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 1: was with Khalil with the Panthers like my last year.

2252
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:17,320
Speaker 1: That's how far back in like two thousand and six. Um,

2253
01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:19,479
Speaker 1: So I'm familiar with him a little bit. And Um

2254
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 1: obviously throughout the years we've played against each other a

2255
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 1: couple of times. Yeah, Winners. Winners was there last year,

2256
01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 1: Shale was there last year the right tackle, and Beacham

2257
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:30,720
Speaker 1: was there as well last year. UM and so Um

2258
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:33,640
Speaker 1: the three interior guys have kind of been banged up

2259
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:36,240
Speaker 1: and didn't play much at all during the preseason. UM.

2260
01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:38,680
Speaker 1: I think Khalil was ready to retire and then you know,

2261
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 1: obviously changed his mind and now he's back. Um in

2262
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:45,120
Speaker 1: August first, Yeah, ko Um as well as Winners, I

2263
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:46,760
Speaker 1: think are banged up a little bit, and so they

2264
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:48,640
Speaker 1: kind of preserved them. But at the end of the day,

2265
01:52:48,640 --> 01:52:50,519
Speaker 1: obviously we want to try to take advantage of maybe

2266
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:52,559
Speaker 1: them not being on the same page and not having

2267
01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot of reps because I think that's offensive line

2268
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:57,679
Speaker 1: strength is in their continuity. So we can take advantage

2269
01:52:57,720 --> 01:52:59,600
Speaker 1: of that early. That would be great because I know

2270
01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:03,040
Speaker 1: Lil being the intelligent center that he is, if if

2271
01:53:03,080 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 1: we don't take advantage of the opportunity once it comes,

2272
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:08,280
Speaker 1: he's going to get it corrected, you know, between drives.

2273
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:10,880
Speaker 1: And that's the same kind of problems of Bills have

2274
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 1: had interior their offensive line with Mitch Moore's being injured

2275
01:53:15,160 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 1: and flipping back guys back and forth, and and we

2276
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,120
Speaker 1: still don't know what the offensive line combination is going

2277
01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:21,200
Speaker 1: to be. But you know, they could be saying the

2278
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:23,599
Speaker 1: same thing about Buffalo exactly. And it's it's all about

2279
01:53:23,640 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the opportunities you get early. Because guys

2280
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:28,920
Speaker 1: in this league they played enough. You have all these

2281
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:31,160
Speaker 1: pictures on the sideline, and once you missed that opportunity,

2282
01:53:31,280 --> 01:53:33,280
Speaker 1: they get it corrected, then you have to go something different.

2283
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:35,559
Speaker 1: It's too late and all. And Ko as a pro

2284
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:37,880
Speaker 1: bowler Khalil at one time as a pro bowler, So

2285
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:40,479
Speaker 1: they have some talent over there. A little down number two,

2286
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:42,920
Speaker 1: Be clean with your communication. What does that mean? You're

2287
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:46,080
Speaker 1: talking about defensive, defensively, offensively, you know, checks, all that

2288
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 1: type of stuff. Just in the first really the first

2289
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:51,320
Speaker 1: couple of games, there's not a lot of film to

2290
01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:53,000
Speaker 1: watch and a lot of schemes to draw up on.

2291
01:53:53,120 --> 01:53:55,280
Speaker 1: It just come down to your fundamentals and a lot

2292
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:57,960
Speaker 1: of times when guys get get beat. Oh I didn't know.

2293
01:53:58,040 --> 01:53:59,679
Speaker 1: I didn't know we were in cover two. I didn't

2294
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:01,360
Speaker 1: know we're cover three. You know, there was a lack

2295
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:03,720
Speaker 1: of communication, or I didn't get that check. I didn't

2296
01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:05,760
Speaker 1: know that that's where we were in. And so I

2297
01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:07,479
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that we're very clean and

2298
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:09,720
Speaker 1: precise whether it's an offensive line call. And so the

2299
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:13,240
Speaker 1: guards are working together and they know which everybody's sliding too,

2300
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 1: and they're not letting the lineman just run and hit

2301
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:18,000
Speaker 1: Josh or us on the back end where you know,

2302
01:54:18,120 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 1: the safeties are making a check or Tremaine has made

2303
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:21,720
Speaker 1: a check and then maybe the safeties didn't get it

2304
01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 1: out to the corners and were now we're playing single

2305
01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:25,600
Speaker 1: high and they thought we were playing cover two and

2306
01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:27,559
Speaker 1: then we give up a big bomb, and so those

2307
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 1: things lead to losing games. And so having good clean

2308
01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 1: communication is starting establishing that early and established that that

2309
01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:37,640
Speaker 1: trust when things are on the line for real now

2310
01:54:37,760 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 1: not in practice, guys can start playing and gain that

2311
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:43,120
Speaker 1: trust together. Load down number three. I don't I don't

2312
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:45,000
Speaker 1: know what this means. Dominate the ball. Is that what

2313
01:54:45,080 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 1: you're said? Yeah, the ball? So really just the turnovers,

2314
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 1: dominate the possession of the ball. Get the ball back

2315
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 1: for our offense. Again, when you look at historically, when

2316
01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 1: you look at Adam Gage, you look at Greg Williams

2317
01:54:57,240 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott, whoever really controls the ball ends up

2318
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 1: winning the game. So, whether that's the turnover ratio, obviously,

2319
01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:06,000
Speaker 1: getting the ball back and allowing our offense to drive

2320
01:55:06,080 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 1: it for an extended period of time and scoring touchdowns

2321
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:13,640
Speaker 1: really helps us in the long term outcome of this game.

2322
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:17,280
Speaker 1: Enough talk about You've got an event coming up next month.

2323
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:20,440
Speaker 1: It's the day before the Bills hosts the Dolphins, Saturday,

2324
01:55:20,520 --> 01:55:23,240
Speaker 1: October nineteenth. Right here at the ad Pro Sports Training Center,

2325
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:25,840
Speaker 1: sink Cancer with cornhole. What you got going on there

2326
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:28,480
Speaker 1: is this ACES Foundation. Yeah, Aces, we're partnering with the

2327
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:32,720
Speaker 1: organization that's out of Arizona's called Collein's Dream. In the

2328
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,080
Speaker 1: connection is Billy Cundiff was a kicking this long time.

2329
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 1: His mother in law passed due to a varying cancer.

2330
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:41,200
Speaker 1: And since I've been in the Buffalo community, I've met

2331
01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:45,840
Speaker 1: UM two awesome Bill Mafia's members, Patty and Mary. One

2332
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:47,760
Speaker 1: of the ladies has a varian cancer. She's a fire

2333
01:55:47,800 --> 01:55:50,640
Speaker 1: and she's fighting it. And so just from knowing them,

2334
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:52,680
Speaker 1: they volunteered at my events. They come to a lot

2335
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:55,240
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills events as well. I've gotten to

2336
01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:57,400
Speaker 1: know them a little bit. Um. They've told me their story.

2337
01:55:57,520 --> 01:56:00,320
Speaker 1: They tell them the story of other people in the um,

2338
01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo local community that are suffering from a varying

2339
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:05,280
Speaker 1: cancers UM and the and the bad thing about it,

2340
01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:09,360
Speaker 1: there's no early detection um process for the test for

2341
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:11,560
Speaker 1: it right now. And so we're trying to raise money

2342
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:14,120
Speaker 1: obviously to donate to College's Dream and the NAIL grant

2343
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 1: it to an organization or medical organization here locally in

2344
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo to kind of help that research and also help

2345
01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 1: families with some of the the day to day things

2346
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:27,440
Speaker 1: as well financially. Yes, yeah, so it before the Miami game.

2347
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:28,520
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people, if you're not

2348
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 1: even in town, know a lot of people will be

2349

2352
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:41,480

2353
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:45,640

2354

Speaker 1: Andre Roberts, wide receiver, special teamer returned specialists with his

2405
02:00:32,600 --> 02:00:35,120
Speaker 1: quad muscle, did not practice all week, and he is

2406
02:00:35,160 --> 02:00:39,480
Speaker 1: officially out for the game. Factor in the game, Andre Roberts,

2407
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:41,880
Speaker 1: I think raised to be seen. It's too early to tell.

2408
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how big a factory would have been

2409
02:00:43,200 --> 02:00:44,760
Speaker 1: if he'd have been in there. Would he certainly he

2410
02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:46,960
Speaker 1: would have been highly motivated to play against his old team.

2411
02:00:47,080 --> 02:00:50,760
Speaker 1: But you know they have other returns, Yeah, I mean

2412
02:00:50,840 --> 02:00:52,760
Speaker 1: something they got. There's a ton of guys out there

2413
02:00:52,840 --> 02:00:54,640
Speaker 1: that have caught punts in their career, maybe not in

2414
02:00:54,640 --> 02:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the NFL career, but certainly in their football career. Isai

2415
02:00:57,600 --> 02:01:01,680
Speaker 1: mackenzie would be a candidate, I would think for Devin

2416
02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Singletary High. Yeah, Cole Beasley can do it probably, So Yeah,

2417
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 1: there's guys out there, and really, basically the most important

2418
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:14,280
Speaker 1: thing certainly you give up the home run hit. You know,

2419
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts is kind of a home run. You think

2420
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:18,320
Speaker 1: maybe he can take a swing, he'll get you a

2421
02:01:18,360 --> 02:01:20,400
Speaker 1: forty five yard return, or maybe snap off one for

2422
02:01:20,440 --> 02:01:24,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown. But really, and I've said this to a

2423
02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 1: lot of people over the years, the most important thing

2424
02:01:27,520 --> 02:01:30,600
Speaker 1: on punt return team is this that when the play

2425
02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:33,840
Speaker 1: is over, you've still got the ball right, they punt

2426
02:01:33,880 --> 02:01:35,600
Speaker 1: it to you. You got to end up with possession

2427
02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:37,040
Speaker 1: matter where it is on the field. Just don't give

2428
02:01:37,080 --> 02:01:39,640
Speaker 1: it back to them, you know. And that's basically the

2429
02:01:39,720 --> 02:01:42,320
Speaker 1: importance of it. You just can't let anything bad happen.

2430
02:01:42,440 --> 02:01:44,840
Speaker 1: A lot of weird special teams things too. For the Jets,

2431
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 1: they kept their special teams coordinator. With the Adam Gates

2432
02:01:48,480 --> 02:01:51,000
Speaker 1: regime coming in, Brand Bowyer stayed on. They have a

2433
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:54,760
Speaker 1: new return specialist, Braxton Barrios, who was a Patriots draft

2434
02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:57,240
Speaker 1: pick a year ago. He's never handled a punt before.

2435
02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:00,520
Speaker 1: He would be their primary punt return man. And Trenton

2436
02:02:00,800 --> 02:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Cannon I'm checking. I think he is a rookie. Is

2437
02:02:03,480 --> 02:02:06,600
Speaker 1: their primary kick return specialists too? Let me double check.

2438
02:02:06,600 --> 02:02:08,400
Speaker 1: I think Trenton Cannon was a draft pick this year.

2439
02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Trenton Cannon running back. Nope, second year man. I'm wrong

2440
02:02:13,200 --> 02:02:15,240
Speaker 1: on that, second year man for Virginia State. But I

2441
02:02:15,280 --> 02:02:17,280
Speaker 1: don't believe he's handled a kick before. Those would be

2442
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:20,800
Speaker 1: their return specialist. Well, there you go. In a game

2443
02:02:20,840 --> 02:02:25,320
Speaker 1: that's just likely to be close. Those those things matter.

2444
02:02:25,480 --> 02:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Special teams like that, see well who's in, who's out. Etc.

2445
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:31,520
Speaker 1: The worst case scenario. You gotta be okay with a

2446
02:02:31,680 --> 02:02:36,760
Speaker 1: push you know, where there's no turnovers, no fumbles, none

2447
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:39,160
Speaker 1: of that big stuff. You don't get you know, four

2448
02:02:39,320 --> 02:02:42,160
Speaker 1: punts inside your five yard line, you know where you

2449
02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 1: have to start from your own end. Last night, it

2450
02:02:44,040 --> 02:02:45,480
Speaker 1: was a big factor in the first half of the

2451
02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Bears Packers game. You just don't want to have the

2452
02:02:48,480 --> 02:02:50,320
Speaker 1: field tilted. You don't want your guy to go oh

2453
02:02:50,400 --> 02:02:53,760
Speaker 1: for two on field goals and they've got to go three,

2454
02:02:54,120 --> 02:02:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, three for three. So if you can get

2455
02:02:57,600 --> 02:02:59,600
Speaker 1: it where your kicker is perfect and you don't care

2456
02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:02,280
Speaker 1: if they're kickers perfect or not, if if when you

2457
02:03:02,400 --> 02:03:04,880
Speaker 1: punt it you get your get a forty yard net.

2458
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:09,520
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. But what happens invariably, especially early

2459
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 1: in games, that special teams players aren't big plays, they're

2460
02:03:12,200 --> 02:03:15,320
Speaker 1: big mistakes. And that's what you're trying to stay away from.

2461
02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:16,960
Speaker 1: And that's when you start getting guys in there that

2462
02:03:17,120 --> 02:03:18,840
Speaker 1: may maybe you know or at that plus you get

2463
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:20,920
Speaker 1: him on an opening day the first three of the years,

2464
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 1: like you know, there's some there's some tensity, some tense

2465
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:27,440
Speaker 1: you know guys out there, well, Jets are gonna be

2466
02:03:27,480 --> 02:03:29,880
Speaker 1: kind of holding their breath when they kick their kicker.

2467
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:32,000
Speaker 1: Corey Bedvick. You just saw him last week the week

2468
02:03:32,120 --> 02:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Vikings with the Vikings. Yeah, never kicked before in an

2469
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 1: NFL game. He is their kicker. Sunday, the Norwegian import

2470
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:41,640
Speaker 1: who the Vikings sent a fifth round pick to Baltimore

2471
02:03:41,720 --> 02:03:43,560
Speaker 1: to get him and then cut him. He was one

2472
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:47,120
Speaker 1: of four this preseason with his placement kicks. Corey Bedvick

2473
02:03:47,240 --> 02:03:49,200
Speaker 1: is their kicker. I like the Bills with Stephen House

2474
02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 1: get what do you think? How many ones you predict

2475
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:52,520
Speaker 1: for the Bills this season? Give us a call to

2476
02:03:52,600 --> 02:03:55,680

02:04:06,920 --> 02:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Fifty percent say you expect seven to nine wins for

2482
02:04:09,800 --> 02:04:12,520
Speaker 1: the Bills this year, forty five percent say you expect

2483
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 1: ten or more. Five percent say you expect no wins

2486
02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:24,600
Speaker 1: two five fifty and we have some tweets in on

2487
02:04:24,720 --> 02:04:27,440
Speaker 1: this the tweet sheet brought you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

2488
02:04:27,480 --> 02:04:29,160
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. What do you

2489
02:04:29,200 --> 02:04:32,160
Speaker 1: got there? From Seth? He says ten and six maybe more.

2490
02:04:32,240 --> 02:04:34,000
Speaker 1: I think we'll win a lot of close games when

2491
02:04:34,360 --> 02:04:38,040
Speaker 1: all the so called experts count us out. Defense, running game,

2492
02:04:38,080 --> 02:04:40,440
Speaker 1: and big place from seventeen are going to bring glory

2493
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:45,200
Speaker 1: back to Buffalo. As from Seth and also get from JW. Socks,

2494
02:04:45,280 --> 02:04:47,680
Speaker 1: I love the team this year, but I'm still at

2495
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 1: eight or nine wins. I look at the schedule and

2496
02:04:50,040 --> 02:04:51,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be tough to get to eleven wins.

2497
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Putting pressure on the quarterbacks. Opposing quarterbacks will be the

2498
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:57,360
Speaker 1: key to more wins. The offense needs to take time

2499
02:04:57,520 --> 02:05:01,040
Speaker 1: off the clock and move the chains, eliminate three and ounce.

2500
02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 1: That's and those are whole over opinions from where they

2501
02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:05,600
Speaker 1: were a year ago, no question about it. I've said

2502
02:05:05,640 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: it all through the offseason. I've reminded people this is

2503
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:09,920
Speaker 1: a team that led the league in three and ounce

2504
02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:13,680
Speaker 1: last year. Offensively, I think that's going to change dramatically

2505
02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:16,440
Speaker 1: this year. It has to, right, It has to. Yeah,

2506
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Second called David Fort Lauderdale, Florida's on the line. Hello, Dave,

2507
02:05:19,800 --> 02:05:22,720
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Hey Steve, are you doing John,

2508
02:05:22,880 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 1: what's going on? Fella's good to have Dave. Yes, yesterday

2509
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:28,160
Speaker 1: you had a guy on that called you from New

2510
02:05:28,240 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 1: York City. That's right, Bills saying, Okay, well, I watched

2511
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:34,360
Speaker 1: the show. It's the Michael k Show, comes on the

2512
02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:39,080
Speaker 1: three o'clock And what they said, do not do not

2513
02:05:39,320 --> 02:05:42,840
Speaker 1: underestimate the Buffalo Bills. And these are the New York

2514
02:05:43,080 --> 02:05:46,360
Speaker 1: announcers up there, and they're a little bit worried about

2515
02:05:46,360 --> 02:05:49,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo coming in. They're letting nobody kids it. And I'd

2516
02:05:49,160 --> 02:05:52,000
Speaker 1: say Buffalo is gonna win at least ten games, maybe

2517
02:05:52,080 --> 02:05:55,280
Speaker 1: eleven unless they go ten, five and one. That's all

2518
02:05:55,320 --> 02:05:59,600
Speaker 1: I got for you today, Go Bills, Dave. Thanks thanks

2519
02:05:59,640 --> 02:06:03,480
Speaker 1: for in on the Twitter poll. I think it's I

2520
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:06,800
Speaker 1: think the New York media is has got enough on

2521
02:06:06,880 --> 02:06:08,360
Speaker 1: the ball if they know that this is a game

2522
02:06:08,440 --> 02:06:11,560
Speaker 1: that both these clubs think they can win, and I

2523
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:14,800
Speaker 1: think that they can see like weekend, both teams have

2524
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:17,400
Speaker 1: good reason to think they will. And I think that's

2525
02:06:17,440 --> 02:06:19,000
Speaker 1: why you and I are sitting here. Got to be

2526
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:21,080
Speaker 1: about last week. We started really thinking about it after

2527
02:06:21,120 --> 02:06:22,880
Speaker 1: the full preseason was over. It's like, man, this is

2528
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:25,280
Speaker 1: a big game. This is a really big game. And

2529
02:06:25,360 --> 02:06:28,400
Speaker 1: he started thinking it's a big game because you know,

2530
02:06:29,080 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: it's not going to be an easy win. It's not

2531
02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:33,200
Speaker 1: going to be an easy win. This is a jet

2532
02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:35,880
Speaker 1: team with a really great player at running back, with

2533
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:39,520
Speaker 1: an up and coming star at quarterback, with a defensive

2534
02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 1: front that has proven, a defensive coordinator that is very salty,

2535
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 1: and an offensive play caller who's, you know, widely accepted

2536
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:52,600
Speaker 1: as pretty gifted. Yeah, you got a lot of things

2537
02:06:52,600 --> 02:06:54,120
Speaker 1: you got to deal with, and you don't know what

2538
02:06:54,280 --> 02:06:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of philosophy or what their team looks like when

2539
02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:58,880
Speaker 1: they really let it go because they didn't play. They

2540
02:06:58,920 --> 02:07:01,720
Speaker 1: haven't played for a long time. A question there's a

2541
02:07:01,800 --> 02:07:04,640
Speaker 1: lot of question marks. Yeah, Hey, let's take a look ahead.

2542
02:07:04,640 --> 02:07:06,640
Speaker 1: It's the Weekend look Ahead. We'll do it on Fridays

2543
02:07:06,680 --> 02:07:10,320
Speaker 1: this season. It's presented by Amtrak on Amtrak Get carried away,

2544
02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:12,240
Speaker 1: A look ahead at the Bills game a little bit

2545
02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:14,560
Speaker 1: and what's going on this weekend in the NFL. We

2546
02:07:14,680 --> 02:07:18,040
Speaker 1: talked about this earlier, the Bills over the last five years. Look,

2547
02:07:18,240 --> 02:07:19,640
Speaker 1: we know they haven't torn it up, but they have

2548
02:07:19,760 --> 02:07:22,680
Speaker 1: a considerably better record than the Jets to over the

2549
02:07:22,760 --> 02:07:26,200
Speaker 1: last five years. Since twenty fourteen, the Bills have won

2550
02:07:26,320 --> 02:07:28,560
Speaker 1: thirty nine total games. The Jets have only won twenty eight.

2551
02:07:28,640 --> 02:07:30,960
Speaker 1: That's almost two per year, and Buffalo with the one

2552
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:33,640
Speaker 1: playoff appearance in that five year span, the Jets have none.

2553
02:07:33,960 --> 02:07:36,920
Speaker 1: Jets have new uniforms, a kind of a darker shaded green,

2554
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:40,120
Speaker 1: sleeker design. They have a all black third uniform. They're

2555
02:07:40,120 --> 02:07:42,720
Speaker 1: not gonna go, not gonna go with this Sunday. A

2556
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 1: great quote that I found Steve from Christopher Johnson, acting

2557
02:07:46,240 --> 02:07:49,000
Speaker 1: owner of the Jets. He said, how do you think

2558
02:07:49,040 --> 02:07:51,640
Speaker 1: the fans will like these new uniforms? He said, they'll

2559
02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:53,000
Speaker 1: like it a hell of a lot more if we

2560
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:56,520
Speaker 1: win games. That sounds like something mister Wilson would have said.

2561
02:07:56,640 --> 02:07:59,640
Speaker 1: That's true. It's true. There's a couple other you know,

2562
02:07:59,720 --> 02:08:02,160
Speaker 1: ThEC So he got the Bills and Jets. The Dolphins

2563
02:08:02,520 --> 02:08:06,400
Speaker 1: at home against Baltimore one o'clock on Sunday. Ryan Fitzpatrick,

2564
02:08:06,440 --> 02:08:08,720
Speaker 1: when we talked about that, what a great, great setup

2565
02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:12,320
Speaker 1: for Ryan Fitzpatrick to make his marketing in NFL history.

2566
02:08:12,400 --> 02:08:15,520
Speaker 1: This Sunday he'll be the only player to start a

2567
02:08:15,600 --> 02:08:19,360
Speaker 1: game for eight different franchises in his career, and we

2568
02:08:19,440 --> 02:08:22,160
Speaker 1: were talking about why is he starting for this franchise,

2569
02:08:22,240 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins this season. A lot of people said, why

2570
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:26,960
Speaker 1: not Josh Rosenliz It says this, if everything we hear

2571
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:30,640
Speaker 1: about is true, Josh Rosen's issues are this there. He's

2572
02:08:30,760 --> 02:08:33,440
Speaker 1: not a huggy, touchy feely guy. He's not a you know,

2573
02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:36,000
Speaker 1: one of these gregarious guys. That guy's rally and read

2574
02:08:36,040 --> 02:08:37,720
Speaker 1: a great buddy. He's not a bro. It's not a

2575
02:08:37,840 --> 02:08:41,000
Speaker 1: locker room guy. His body language and his attitude is

2576
02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:43,240
Speaker 1: one where he doesn't have that as a strength. His

2577
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:45,960
Speaker 1: football skill is obvious. I mean, the guy had a

2578
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:48,240
Speaker 1: really nice college career and looks like a pro quarterback

2579
02:08:48,280 --> 02:08:51,000
Speaker 1: at times, but he doesn't bring to the table a

2580
02:08:51,160 --> 02:08:58,000
Speaker 1: leadership quality that makes guys better or want to be better. Now. Physically,

2581
02:08:58,080 --> 02:09:01,919
Speaker 1: he's probably better than Ryan Fitzpatrick, but man, Ryan Fitzpatrick,

2582
02:09:01,960 --> 02:09:04,080
Speaker 1: all the things I just described about Josh Rosen that

2583
02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:07,320
Speaker 1: he lacks. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Scott that got bucket loads of it.

2584
02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:11,360
Speaker 1: All the eight teams he's played for have rallied around him.

2585
02:09:11,400 --> 02:09:13,760
Speaker 1: They love him when he gets on the field, every

2586
02:09:13,840 --> 02:09:15,200
Speaker 1: guy on the offense is going to be in the

2587
02:09:15,320 --> 02:09:17,880
Speaker 1: right spot and know what they're doing. He's gonna get

2588
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:20,640
Speaker 1: the protection set right. He's gonna give everybody around him

2589
02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:24,040
Speaker 1: a chance to be successful. Before the snap, they're gonna

2590
02:09:24,120 --> 02:09:26,080
Speaker 1: know and be on the same page, and they're gonna

2591
02:09:26,120 --> 02:09:29,280
Speaker 1: have a guy taking snaps that they all love. That

2592
02:09:29,480 --> 02:09:31,760
Speaker 1: goes a long way in the NFL. And Ryan Fitzpatrick

2593
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:35,760
Speaker 1: has made a real career for himself, actually a record

2594
02:09:35,840 --> 02:09:40,400
Speaker 1: setting career now because of those things. That's why Fitzpatrick,

2595
02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:42,480
Speaker 1: that's why fitz is starting for the Dolphins. This we

2596
02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:44,680
Speaker 1: can not Josh Rosen. To me, that's the only reason

2597
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:47,040
Speaker 1: it goes a long way. I wonder if it'll go

2598
02:09:47,160 --> 02:09:49,480
Speaker 1: for a long time. It seems to me the Dolphins

2599
02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:51,200
Speaker 1: are gonna struggle and there's gonna come a point in

2600
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:54,120
Speaker 1: the season where the coaching staff, maybe even the owners

2601
02:09:54,280 --> 02:09:56,840
Speaker 1: or personnel people say, hey, we gotta get an idea

2602
02:09:56,880 --> 02:09:58,840
Speaker 1: about Josh Rosen. We're gonna have to start him right.

2603
02:09:58,920 --> 02:10:03,880
Speaker 1: We'll see that happening maybe by mid season. Even for well,

2604
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I love fitz but we've seen this movie before seven times.

2605
02:10:07,760 --> 02:10:09,640
Speaker 1: You know he'll come in he's gonna have stretches where

2606
02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:12,600
Speaker 1: he that team wins because he's the quarterback, and then

2607
02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:14,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a game where they're gonna win in

2608
02:10:14,840 --> 02:10:16,880
Speaker 1: spite of him as quarterback. And then they're gonna have

2609
02:10:16,960 --> 02:10:19,520
Speaker 1: games where they lose because he's the quarterback, and then

2610
02:10:19,560 --> 02:10:23,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be over and that's when Rosen's gonna I

2611
02:10:23,960 --> 02:10:27,040
Speaker 1: think Josh Rosen's probably, in my call, the over under

2612
02:10:27,080 --> 02:10:28,800
Speaker 1: for how many games he starts for the Dolphins this

2613
02:10:28,920 --> 02:10:33,720
Speaker 1: year is ten. I think the overs the overall, I

2614
02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:35,480
Speaker 1: think it's I think you got to get six weeks

2615
02:10:35,520 --> 02:10:37,160
Speaker 1: into the season. I think he's gonna go. Now. That

2616
02:10:37,720 --> 02:10:39,600
Speaker 1: could change with an injury and stuff unexpected, but I

2617
02:10:39,680 --> 02:10:43,160
Speaker 1: think given what we've seen from Ryan Fitzpatrick, even if

2618
02:10:43,200 --> 02:10:45,680
Speaker 1: he comes in plays okay and they're you know, one

2619
02:10:45,760 --> 02:10:49,400
Speaker 1: and five or two and four with a three game

2620
02:10:49,520 --> 02:10:52,880
Speaker 1: losing streak, you know, he gets the game game seven

2621
02:10:52,960 --> 02:10:56,680
Speaker 1: of the season, it's time to move. And I think

2622
02:10:56,720 --> 02:10:58,600
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna see. And that's that's my call

2623
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:01,320
Speaker 1: for how it's gonna plan. And I hope it doesn't.

2624
02:11:01,320 --> 02:11:03,080
Speaker 1: I hope it's you know, plays the entire year, but

2625
02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:06,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. The other AFC East team,

2626
02:11:06,200 --> 02:11:10,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots Home Sunday Night, eight fifteen twenty against Pittsburgh.

2627
02:11:10,240 --> 02:11:12,160
Speaker 1: The perfect game to come home to, to jump off

2628
02:11:12,200 --> 02:11:15,320
Speaker 1: the plane, go home, relax and root for the steps.

2629
02:11:16,440 --> 02:11:18,760
Speaker 1: Perfect perfect Sunday Night. I can't wait. All right, We're

2630
02:11:18,800 --> 02:11:20,560
Speaker 1: coming back with more. Come on back One Bill's Live

2631
02:11:20,640 --> 02:11:23,520
Speaker 1: presented by Klaida Health. We're live from the Seneca Studio

2632
02:11:23,600 --> 02:11:41,320
Speaker 1: and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Good Show Today and

2633
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:43,840
Speaker 1: what do we learn from today's show. Greg Cosell joined

2634
02:11:43,920 --> 02:11:46,960
Speaker 1: us today from NFL matchup on ASBM, and he talked

2635
02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:49,880
Speaker 1: about the key did the Bills offensive success this season.

2636
02:11:51,600 --> 02:11:54,560
Speaker 1: On a certain level, they need to develop an offense

2637
02:11:54,640 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 1: that has a sustaining element. I think we know that

2638
02:11:57,840 --> 02:12:00,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can be a very big plague orderback, both

2639
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:03,560
Speaker 1: with his arm and his legs. And that's good. And

2640
02:12:03,680 --> 02:12:06,960
Speaker 1: it's a league where everybody is trying to orchestrate and

2641
02:12:07,080 --> 02:12:11,360
Speaker 1: manufacture explosive plays, particularly in the past game. But I

2642
02:12:11,480 --> 02:12:14,160
Speaker 1: think to be a really good team and a consistent team,

2643
02:12:14,520 --> 02:12:18,000
Speaker 1: I think what become the important plays in games. The

2644
02:12:18,080 --> 02:12:20,760
Speaker 1: plays that are not highlight plays are when it's third

2645
02:12:20,800 --> 02:12:23,080
Speaker 1: and six and you gain eight yards with a completion,

2646
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:26,200
Speaker 1: or when it's second and eight and you choose to

2647
02:12:26,320 --> 02:12:29,280
Speaker 1: run the ball and you gain five yards, so it's

2648
02:12:29,360 --> 02:12:32,000
Speaker 1: third and three and you're in a much better position

2649
02:12:32,040 --> 02:12:34,880
Speaker 1: to convert on third down. I think those kinds of

2650
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:38,280
Speaker 1: plays are the plays that I think are the ones

2651
02:12:38,360 --> 02:12:42,080
Speaker 1: that the Bills have to be able to make this season. Yeah,

2652
02:12:42,080 --> 02:12:43,720
Speaker 1: I agree with Greg co Sell. Steven, I want to

2653
02:12:43,720 --> 02:12:45,760
Speaker 1: get your prediction in your second but that it reminds

2654
02:12:45,800 --> 02:12:47,320
Speaker 1: me of something I said to you. I think when

2655
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:50,320
Speaker 1: training camp opened about they need a viable passing offense.

2656
02:12:51,520 --> 02:12:53,320
Speaker 1: That has been exactly what you've been talking about. And

2657
02:12:53,360 --> 02:12:56,160
Speaker 1: you're right, they need to look functional in both aspects

2658
02:12:56,200 --> 02:12:58,360
Speaker 1: of the run. In the past, certainly they're going to

2659
02:12:58,400 --> 02:13:00,680
Speaker 1: be games where they can't do one or the other,

2660
02:13:00,920 --> 02:13:03,400
Speaker 1: but they need to be a threat in both. I

2661
02:13:03,440 --> 02:13:05,000
Speaker 1: don't think they were last year. I think they got

2662
02:13:05,040 --> 02:13:08,080
Speaker 1: a chance this year. Hey, quickly, we had our season records.

2663
02:13:08,200 --> 02:13:10,440
Speaker 1: You say eleven Winsay say ten? What about Sunday? What's

2664
02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:13,240
Speaker 1: the score? What do you got twenty seven seventeen Bills? Okay,

2665
02:13:13,360 --> 02:13:16,040
Speaker 1: that's good. I got the bill seventeen thirteen. I think

2666
02:13:16,080 --> 02:13:19,080
Speaker 1: the offense is gonna require some ramp up time. Yeah,

2667
02:13:19,120 --> 02:13:20,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna be fun. We'll talk about it here

2668
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:23,040
Speaker 1: on Monday at twelve noon. Make sure you join us. Then.
