1
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: player for this state of a lily, Steve a blimp.

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strategyre of normalcy here, neither

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: normal here. On One Bill's Drive Thursday edition, Chris Brown,

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, broadcasting from the Seneca Studios in

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, as the players are headed out to the

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: practice field for a Thursday of work, and we'll be

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: checking in with Maddy Glable on the sidelines later on

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: this hour when they get rolling and see who is

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: and who is not participating. There are seven starters currently

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: on the Bill's injury list, with varying degrees of participation

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: in practice yesterday. Among them Dion Dawkins, the starting left

14
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: tackle and a written contact jersey yesterday and he was

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: milling about early in practice but was listed as a

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: non participant. So we'll try to get an update on

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: him among others as we see what the likelihood is

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: for a good number of those starters playing on Sunday

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, and we'll get into the Raiders situation

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: as we know. The big part of our show yesterday

21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: was addressing the players for the Raiders that went maskless

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: to a charity event Monday night in Henderson, Nevada and

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: clearly violated COVID nineteen protocols. And Tom Pellisio of NFL

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: Network has an update on that, so we'll get to

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: that shortly. But Steve, you had an interesting story to

26
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: share with respect to some family viewing of the Week

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: three game against the Ranks. So I'm talking on one

28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: of my I have three older brothers, right, so we're

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: all old guys, right, So picture this, my three older

30
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: brothers and their kids and we've got a big family

31
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: group back. And my family's from Kansas, so you can

32
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: imagine right in the middle of their pilgrims in an

33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: unholy land, right, because they're they're big Bills fans in

34
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs Country. So they go to this huge place to

35
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: watch the game, which is its normal and stuff. So

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: they're all watching the Bills game, but the only game,

37
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: the only TV they give them. And I'm sure and

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: we can get into this on your tomorrow maybe on

39
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: your Bills on the hotline, the football football crisis hot

40
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: because it is a crisis when you go into a

41
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: place and you're gonna watch the game and there's no

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: TV left for your team because you're, like I say,

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: you're in an unholy land. So my brothers are in

44
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: this place and they're watching. They have to watch at

45
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: the bar. There's like the place is full of tables.

46
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: It's one of those big like Buster Douglas places. What

47
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: is it called David Buss. Yeah, they're one of those.

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: So it's a huge place and they're sitting. They're sitting,

49
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: they have to sit at the bar, and there's like,

50
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, there's like ten of them. And they got

51
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: like my grand nephew there with him, my brother's grandson there.

52
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: He's a one year old, right, so he's there. So

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: they got all these people and they're watching. They they're

54
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: watching on this little teeny tiny TV above the bar,

55
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: and they asked the guy, hey, can you since everybody's

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: down at that into the place and you got this

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: big TV here, can you put it on this big TV?

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: And he goes, he goes, you know what, I'm kind

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: of stuck with what I can do with the TV's

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: And they got no problem, no problem. So they start

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: watching the game and then the Bills get out to

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: a twenty eight to three lead, and it's going awesome,

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: and they're like high five and it's going great, and

64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: he goes, you know what got the barcher. Listen, nobody's

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: watching this. I'll see what I can do and I'll

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: get it up on the big screen. So they do

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: puts it up on the big screen. They are a

68
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: great They go over and stuff and as soon as

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: they start watching on the big screen, yeah yeah, it's

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: it's thirty two twenty eight, you know, fifteen twenty minutes

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: later and they're like, you know, well, so they all

72
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: migrate back to the other end and they start watching

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: on the little tea. They forget that big TV. They

74
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: walk back together end of the TV for the Bills

75
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: win so and they said, you know, you can thank

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: us later, but we've all done that, right. And I

77
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: know that just on my own Twitter feed on Sunday because,

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: as you know, Maddie Glavin, I do Bills Field Pass,

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: the pregame show that we stream on all of our

80
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: online platforms before a lot of the home games. And

81
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, we're putting out questions to fans all the time.

82
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: We want them to be part of the program. And

83
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: one of the fans tweeted at me that for the

84
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: third straight week she was wearing the same exact clothes

85
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: on game day so as not to mess with the

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: karma for the football team. So whatever Bills gear she

87
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: wore in week one, she wore it again in week two,

88
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: and then wore it again in week three, and I'm

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: presuming she's going to be wearing it again here in

90
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: week four. I've done something a little while. I'm kind

91
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: of down that line. I'm you know, I'm a Sabers guy.

92
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: I like going to the stake because he's only it's

93
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: a real aside from the Bills, which I kind of

94
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: I've got skin in this game, right, Yeah, Sabers, I don't, right,

95
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: They're just a I can love them, and you know,

96
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: and all the and all their problems and all the

97
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: ups and the downs and the great you know. So

98
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: I got season tickets everything, right, So when I go

99
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: to the Sabers game, listen to this. If they go out,

100
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: if they they don't have to, it's not like a

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: win lose kind of thing or anything, but if they're

102
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: going and it's a great game, fun times, good stuff.

103
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I always wear a Sabers hat right when I go

104
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: of some kind, right, And if it's not a good

105
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: game if they if they play well, even if they

106
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: lose an overtime or whatever, but if they get their

107
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: heads caved in, if you know, if it's a bad game,

108
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: bad night, no energy and all that, Well, I go

109
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: buy a new hat. I go buy a different sabers hat.

110
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Oh dear lord, how many hats do you have? Yeah? Yeah,

111
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: oh boy, but I do I buy. I buy a

112
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: sabers hat for trying to change their luck. Okay, I've

113
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: got some that that That is what I have not

114
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: heard buying a new a new hat to change your

115
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the team you root for his luck. Well, you know,

116
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: it's just to change clothes, like changing clothes. I suppose

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: we're in the right socks. And that's a heck of

118
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: an investment. Though. And there were got and there was

119
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you're playing, when I was on the build,

120
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: when I was playing in the locker room and all that,

121
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, every it was like a guy. You know,

122
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: it was like everything except you know, throwing chicken bones

123
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: on the floor and trying to read them. They were

124
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: so superstitious. Yeah. So I was at the stadium here

125
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: last week, as you know, because it's a home game,

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: and we can kind of cover it pretty close to

127
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: the way we regularly cover a game. And my family

128
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: was watching the game on the back patio with a

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: couple of people. They wanted to be outside, so they

130
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: watch it on this TV. We put on the back

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: patio obviously so you could have people over because you

132
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: can't have them indoors. So they were watching the game,

133
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: things are going great. Their neighbors, our neighbors who lived

134
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: behind us, came over to kind of watch it, and

135
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: that's when the game started turning. And this is the

136
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: third instance where the neighbors upon joining the party, the

137
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: game has completely flipped. There was a prior Bills game

138
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: where that happened and the Bills ended up losing. And

139
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl between the Patres and the Falcons. Wow,

140
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: it was twenty eight to three when they got there,

141
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: and we know how that end, and it was the

142
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: show up, so it's twenty eight to three when they

143
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: show it now. Fortunately, all all parties involved identified what

144
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: was happening there, right okay, and so they said, yeah,

145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: we gotta go. Yeah, we're gonna leave because nothing good

146
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: has gone on since we got here. And so they

147
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: went back to their ass and you know, the bills

148
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: pulled the game out, So yes, it is that happens

149
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: a lot. I got a question for you, and you

150
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: can help me out here. You got a back patio TV?

151
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Now is that a thing you leave out there? It's

152
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: like an oh so so again because I'm having this conversation. Yeah,

153
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: well here's here's here was where it all started. Where

154
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: it all started was my daughter was graduating high school

155
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: and we're supposed to have a grad party. There's no

156
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: graduation ceremony live. They did a virtual graduation ceremony that

157
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: aired on television. Well we've we've got all the family

158
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: coming over to watch this graduation ceremony airing on television.

159
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: But we can't have him inside to watch it on television.

160
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: So outside, Chris has got to open up the wallet

161
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: and you know, get a flat screen to put on

162
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: the back patio. Oh you got an extra you didn't

163
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: bring the inside? No, yeah, you just got an extra.

164
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: Just what do you do with it? Then? So hold on?

165
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at televisions, like, are there specific television's

166
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: built to be outdoors? You know this kind of stuff.

167
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at because you can get regular fifty

168
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: inch flat screens for like a three hundred and twenty dollars. Yeah,

169
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: that's that's really good. It used to be, so I

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: guess too. Yeah. So so I'm looking at that, I'm like, okay,

171
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: well that's definitely an option, even if I have to

172
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: bring it in in the winter. And then I say, well,

173
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: let me just see how much does an outdoor television cost?

174
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: Five thousand dollars? Five thousand dollars for an all weather

175
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: television that can you just leave outside of year round?

176
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: So I said, yeah, you know what, I'm just gonna

177
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: take out the two bolts on the mounting arm and

178
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: bring her in when we start getting down to freezing

179
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: temps at night, and that'll be the end of watching

180
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: TV on the patty. I grant, is that insane? You

181
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: can get a regular one for three twenty bucks. How

182
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: how much is weatherproofing technology cost? Couldn't you just slip

183
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: telling me it costs forty seven hundred dollars? Didn't you

184
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: just slip like a plexiglass sleeve over the time. That

185
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: doesn't control the temperature though, you know what I mean.

186
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: It's the temperature it's low, too low. You know, you

187
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: got all that wiring and the semiconductors and all that

188
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: stuff in there that come on the LEDs, all that jazz.

189
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: I Well, I mean they're telling you don't leave it

190
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: out there in freezing temperature. So you know, we're hoping

191
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: we can get a couple more weeks. You want to

192
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: tell you this is how old I am. So while

193
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: I was playing, I was doing some media work, like well,

194
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: you know, like now, and one of the I did

195
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: a show for station in Rochester, and as payment, instead

196
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: of giving me money or write me a check or whatever,

197
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: they'd gave me trade outs, like you can to this

198
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: store and this store and this store. You got this

199
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: much money to spend, right, Okay, So they sent me

200
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: to an electronics store and this was my best buy

201
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: was a yeah, who there was not such a thing, right.

202
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: This was a small store. So I go in and

203
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: they sell TVs and they sell printers and they you know,

204
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: all this stuff. What do I You know, I don't

205
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: need any of that stuff except they sell TVs. They

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: had a listen to this browdy you'll love it. Okay.

207
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: They got a sixty inch flat screen, but it was

208
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: one of those It wasn't a flat screen like we

209
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: know flat screens today. It was a regular projection screen

210
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: TV right with the you know that they projected down

211
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: here and it reflects up into the screen. Remember those Yes, Okay,

212
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: I guess how much that thing costs? Now cost me?

213
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: I had to trade I trade it out for it.

214
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: But how much did it cost back? It was nineteen

215
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, mid mid to late nineties. Yeah, that's

216
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: gonna be. That's gonna cost You're like, I don't know,

217
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: three grand, eight grand? Whoa in nineteen nine, he's something dollars.

218
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: Who it's like a it's like a thirty thousand dollars

219
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: TV in these days. And it was like and listen,

220
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: I used it for a long time. But now I've

221
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: got this now projecting thing. I got a place in

222
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: my house where you can project it from an actual

223
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: projector you know us. Yeah yeah, yeah right, and I

224
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: I s d n think in right to the team

225
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: boom right up on the wall. Right. Wow. Yeah. If

226
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: you got a split spot for it, which I got

227
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: a basement is a dark and you can close the windows.

228
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: It's all dark down there, so you can make a

229
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: it's like a movie theater. It's it's it's a movie theater.

230
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: It costs me like six hundred bucks. Yeah, the technology

231
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: is rapidly advancing and it's becoming a regular part of

232
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: the Prices have come way down because there's more competitors.

233
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: You know what, though, here's about the community, the human condition,

234
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: and it's still that I still got there's still family

235
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: like my family going to it. But you still rather

236
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: go out and watch it with friends. Yeah, I mean

237
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: you got all this stuff. This technic is just harder

238
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: to do now because you can't the pandemic so you

239
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: can't all meet at a bar now everybody wants to

240
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: go out stuff. But still technology, man, it's amazing. It

241
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: is all right, eight three five fifty one eight eight

242
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty As we've got the following

243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: coming up on the show, as we mentioned, around twelve

244
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: forty or so, we'll check in with Maddy Glab at

245
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: practice see who is participating, who is not participating. As

246
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: it is a long injury list for the Bills this week,

247
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: people trying to come back from injury, new players on

248
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: the injury list, so we'll get the lowdown on that

249
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: at twelve forty and then at two o'clock we will

250
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: have Brad Ganio. Did i pronounce that right from Bleacher Report,

251
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: who had some interesting pieces that he put together on

252
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: the Bills and whether they are a contender or a pretender.

253
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: So he had an interesting take on that, and we'll

254
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: talk to him about that, among some other things that

255
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: he's put together for that site. And we'll also hear

256
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: from a number of players and coaches from their media

257
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: access on Wednesday. Some interesting things said by Josh Allen

258
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: along with Trudavious White, who addressed the situation with the

259
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: Titans game, the situation with the Raiders and a lot

260
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: of their players going out to a charity event without masks,

261
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: to an indoor event with over one hundred people, none

262
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: of whom they know, so we'll see what their thoughts

263
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: are on that. And we also have new developments regarding

264
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Titans game. Mainly the game has

265
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: been completely postponed. It will not take place in the

266
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: next week, so essentially the Titans and the Steelers have

267
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: a bye this coming week, which gives the Titans a

268
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: bye before they play the Bills in Week five. Aj Brown,

269
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: I know, is a player that was not going to

270
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: play this week. He didn't play last week, one of

271
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: their top receivers he has injury, but all indications are

272
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: he will be ready to go for Week five against

273
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: the Bills. And this is going to be a bit

274
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: of a scheduling conundrum because the Steelers and Titans do

275
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: not share the same bye week, which could have been

276
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: an easy fix. I don't know where you're wedging this

277
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: into the schedule. I haven't taken the time to look

278
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: to see when the Titans and or the Steelers perhaps

279
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: play on a Thursday night, which could afford you a

280
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: couple of extra days of breathing room to wedge a

281
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: game in. Although I don't know how you play three

282
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: games in the span of eleven days. Players will be

283
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: hanging after that, but they may not have a choice

284
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: unless they choose to push back the playoff schedule for

285
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: this one game. I don't anticipate them doing that all

286
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: for one game, but you never know. It's going to

287
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: be interesting to see where this season heads, because, as

288
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: Steve has mentioned before, the bye weeks I think are

289
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: of great concern to the league and to a lot

290
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: of coaches around the league because it is time away

291
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: from work for three or four days for an abundance

292
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: of players, and the bye weeks start this weekend. I

293
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: believe there's two teams on the buy here in week four,

294
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: and then that continues all the way up to week eleven,

295
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: So you're going to have players idol, not playing and

296
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: left to their own devices. Now, you would like to

297
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: believe that they've been beaten over the head with remaining

298
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: diligent with the COVID nineteen protocols so that they can

299
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: get through the season as healthy as possible. And I

300
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: realize that even adhering to all those protocols, that is

301
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: no guarantee, because the Titans, by all indications, adhere to

302
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: all of their protocols and still ended up with an outbreak.

303
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: But that being said, it is the subject of our

304
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today, which is what are the chances in

305
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: your estimation that all thirty two NFL teams play all

306
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: sixteen of their games this season. Your choices are as follows. A.

307
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: The NFL will do everything they can to play all

308
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: the games. B It's going to be tough to pull

309
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: it off too many variables without a bubble. See no way,

310
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: We've already got an outbreak and we haven't even reached

311
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: the bye week. So weigh in on the tweet sheet

312
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: there and let us know what you think. And uh

313
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: here can also call us on the line at eight

314
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: three fifty. You told me this before we got on

315
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: the air, that the reason that they can't just play

316
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: this game on Tuesday of next week is because there's

317
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: a soccer game in the Titan Stadium in Nashville. Um okay, Um,

318
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: well play somewhere else, Go play in Knoxville, play on Wednesday.

319
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: Play go play at Tennessee Stadium. Right, do you not

320
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna have any fans anyway, University of Tennessee. Yeah, there's

321
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: no fans anyway. Moving games is probably in terms of

322
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: venue is probably easier than ever because fans are not impacted.

323
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: Although the Titans were going to host seven thousand fans

324
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: at the game this weekend, that was the plan that

325
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: we're going to have a reduced capacity crowd in Nashville

326
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: at the Titan Steelers game. Of course that's gone by

327
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: the board too, So you wonder how that figures into

328
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: the conversation, if at all, when it comes to rescheduling

329
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: this game. So there's a lot to be determined there

330
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: in terms of what they do and how the league

331
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: finds a hole somewhere in the schedule to wedge this

332
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: game in. And this is just the first of what

333
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: could be a handful of games that have to get

334
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: moved rescheduled. What have you think about it? If they

335
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: move the game to say a Wednesday, so that they

336
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: can have the stadium in Nashville, that gives you Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

337
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: then you got another game on Sunday. But if they wanted,

338
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: they could move all those games to Monday night, so

339
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: you'd have four days. It'd be even better. It'd be

340
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 1: like a Thursday game after a Sunday game of Thanksgiving

341
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: and then you could get back on schedule after that theoretically,

342
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: but that's the ripple effect you're talking about. So the

343
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: two teams that like Pittsburgh and Tennessee, those two teams

344
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: play on a Wednesday instead of a Sunday, then the

345
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Pittsburgh opponents for the next week would be

346
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: on a Monday night game. You'd have a triple header

347
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: on a Monday night. So with and that's six that's different.

348
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: That's three other teams that have to do that, right,

349
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: So our two other teams that have to do that

350
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: along with the two teams Tennessee and Pittsburgh that have

351
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: also had to alter their schedule, so it's a ripple

352
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: effect that kind of goes big and Yeah, I don't know.

353
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: It just seems to me like getting that game in

354
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: now and taking your chances down the line. I think

355
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: taking your chances down the line is a big mistake.

356
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. At eight three fifty we

357
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: go to Chris in West Seneca to lead us off today. Chris,

358
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. What do you have for us?

359
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: Do we have Chris online one in West Seneca? Hello? Hey,

360
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: how we're doing Chris? What do you have for us?

361
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Yeah. I was going to ask

362
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: about the Taytan's, but you've already went through all that.

363
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm confused that the Titans, if we can't play them,

364
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: what happens is we waste half our bide because we've

365
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: got that Thursday night, can't follow that right after. Yeah,

366
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: you're right, that isn't going to have to be a

367
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: consideration here because just the reason, the reason the Bills

368
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: excuse me, the reason the Titans Steelers game was completely

369
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: scrapped for next week is because another person tested positive

370
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: today and the reason that through a fly in the

371
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: ointment is because now you're past the eight days, you

372
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: know where you can have a game next week because

373
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: it's already Thursday and somebody turned up positive again, So

374
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: the numbers are still increasing for the Titans organization, and

375
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: that just compromised everything that they were trying to reschedule

376
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: for early next week between the Titans and the Steelers.

377
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Now you're right. You bring up a good point, Chris.

378
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: It's entirely possible that the Week five game for the Titans,

379
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: which is against the Bills, could be somehow compromised if

380
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: this outbreak with the Titans continues. And we don't know

381
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: where it's going to go. Nobody does, but it is

382
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: a possibility. I think we should also mention Steve that

383
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: we know a lot of those Raiders players went to

384
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: that indoor event without masks on Monday night. We know

385
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the incubation period is two to eight days, Okay, so

386
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: that takes us to Wednesday night, which means the tests

387
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: that the Raiders take this morning out west on their

388
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: way into work. The results of those tests, which will

389
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: come back tomorrow, will be the first day where there

390
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: is a chance somebody could turn up positive based on

391
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: whatever they may or may not have been exposed to

392
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: at the charity event. Right, So yeah, we could have

393
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: a problem with this weekend's game. Forget about next week. Right,

394
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: they're going to get to a point where and it's

395
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: going to be today, tomorrow or yesterday's tests, today's tests,

396
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow's tests, and Saturday's tests. They could have guys pop

397
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: up on Saturday, on Sunday morning testing positive Saturday morning.

398
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: Then they're gonna have to go into and I don't

399
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: think that would compromise the game. Those guys would be isolated.

400
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: But what if there's too many of them? Yeah, if

401
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: there's too many of them, then you got a problem

402
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: because you had I mean we saw the footage. You

403
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: had upwards of ten to twelve players at the event.

404
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: And here's including including starting two quarterbacks Peterman and Carr

405
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 1: and Mariota's on ir Phil think about that, We think

406
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: about this if it's unbelievable. We were talking all day

407
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: yesterday about the league, what the league's gonna do whatever.

408
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, who's responsible for disciplining the players, the teams,

409
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: the teams. So you think the Raiders are gonna do

410
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: anything at all about this, Well, no, they're gonna sit

411
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: tight and hope they skate by, right, But the problem

412
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: is they can't knowingly put somebody on the field that's positive.

413
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 1: So whether they want to punish their players or not,

414
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: the results of the tests. So the results of the tests,

415
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: and that kicks in all of the preventative safety measures

416
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: where it's like, bro, you're positive, go home in quarantine

417
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: for ten to fourteen days. And so were all the

418
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: other guys who came into contact with you by inside you?

419
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: And that's face problem because where were they all yesterday

420
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: practicing with the entire roster and coaching staff. Now the

421
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: bills I know, you can go. You could have guys

422
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: come in test negative and then test positive the next day,

423
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: and they still would never have been within some within

424
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: shouting distance of somebody. I say shouting distance, but it's

425
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: the six feet of some tracers for the fifteen minutes

426
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: because they've got tracers, and even in their meetings and

427
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: their film studying all that, these guys are all spaced

428
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: out all day, right, So it that, but there's data

429
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: with the bracelets that they wear, they're going to be

430
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: able to tell us, like, you know what, this guy's

431
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: a little suspect, that guy's a little suspect those guys

432
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: are out too, So there'll be there'll be data to

433
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: look at to see all these guys that were at

434
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: this event on Monday night that they'll be subject to

435
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: data searches to say, Okay, if any of those guys

436
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: pop up positive, all of these people have to be

437
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: sequestered as well. Now here's the what about this brownie?

438
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: What if none of those guys show up positive, somebody

439
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: else does on the raiders, that seems to me like

440
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: a rabbit hole. Yeah, I don't. Well, they do ultimately

441
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: have to find patient zero, so to speak. They have

442
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: to know where where it began. But yeah, if none

443
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: of the twelve player, well yeah, because even if you're asymptomatic,

444
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: you can test positive. So even if there's a player

445
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: that was at the event that is showing no symptoms

446
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: but test positive, well then you know where it likely

447
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: came from. So the two day days we talk about

448
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: is the days which was a radial exposure. You could

449
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: test negative all the way up until the eighth day,

450
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: then test positive. Right, that's the problem. So right, because

451
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: who knows how many different people you've come into contact

452
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: with between the time you were first exposed and the

453
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: time you finally test positive. And that's the rub and

454
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why they test every day

455
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: to try to eliminate that risk. But still there are

456
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: holes in the system. I don't think there's any question

457
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: about that. Just look at the Titan situation. They their

458
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: patient zero did not make the trip up to Minnesota

459
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: with the team on the plane, but they did travel

460
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: to the visiting city in Minnesota and then accompanied the

461
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: team on the way back, and that's where the problem started.

462
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: So that person was exposed at some point between late

463
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: in the week and Sunday, where he was a positive

464
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: case that turned up on Monday and then led to

465
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: or maybe even well no Monday, and it led to

466
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: more cases, eight in total initially you know, Tuesday morning.

467
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's uh, there are holes in the system.

468
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: And the other the other thing that blows my mind

469
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: is the players are not tested Sunday morning, game day.

470
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: Why not, Like that's a big hole. What if somebody

471
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: because you're going into hotels on Saturday and I know

472
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: everybody's boarded up, nobody's leaving the hotel. You basically get

473
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: on the plane, you get off the plane, you get

474
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: on the bus, you go to the hotel. You don't

475
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: leave the hotel. Heck, they don't want guys leaving their rooms, right,

476
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: And then you get back on the bus, you go

477
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: to the stadium, you play the game. Back on the bus,

478
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: you go to the plane, you fly home. That's it.

479
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: You can't even see family if they happen to live

480
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: in the city that you're visiting to play a Let's

481
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: play a game. That's right. So, but why aren't you

482
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: testing Sunday morning? That's a hole in the daily testing

483
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: that leaves upwards of forty eight hours open to exposure

484
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: that you're completely unaware of. I don't understand why that's

485
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: not being done. In any event, we go back to

486
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: the phones at eight five, Rex or I'm sorry, Yes,

487
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: Rex in Tonawanda. You're on one Bill's Live. Thanks for

488
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: coming to board. What do you got for us? Hey, guys? First,

489
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: I want to say congratulations to Josh Allena. So he

490
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: is offensive Player of the Month for the AFC. That

491
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: is correct, great honor, well deserved. So happy for the

492
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: young man. He's doing such a great job. Secondly, you know,

493
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: I want to say, you know, yesterday I love the

494
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: passion Brownie on this issue. You know, I felt like

495
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: it was a carryover from the presidential debate a little bit,

496
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: but I understand it. It's a hot topic. We're all

497
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: fired up about it. We want to see everybody say

498
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: as healthy as possible and the season go on. And

499
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: I swear, if this season gets shut down with the

500
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: bills to this good, I don't know what I'm gonna

501
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: do with myself. And that's where some of my anger lies.

502
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: I mean, really, because how long has everybody in this

503
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: town been waiting for a season like this where this

504
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: team looks like they could really be something. And it's

505
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: bad enough that we can't have fans in the stands

506
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: to witness this. Okay, that's bad enough, number one, But

507
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: number two, if you get some people acting irresponsibly, you

508
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: could essentially run the risk of deep sixing the entire

509
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. And I know that might sound like hyperbole,

510
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: but when we've had enough time over these last seven

511
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: or eight months to witness how fast this thing spreads

512
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: and you want a trifle with that, the virus is

513
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 1: going to win. And I think that's the most disappointing

514
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: thing for me. I thought that something of this magnitude

515
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: in this country would inspire everybody to pull together and

516
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: work together to get rid of this thing, and it's

517
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: actually gone the opposite direction. I can't wrap my head

518
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: around that. I don't know how as a country we

519
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: can't mobilize and say we got to all work together

520
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: to kick this thing. And what I'm hoping though, it's

521
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: not that way at all. This incident with the Titans

522
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: and the Raiders, it will be a wake up call

523
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: to the rest of the league, our team to just

524
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: we gotta be careful about this and if if there

525
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: is an outbreak, I hope the league could just say, hey,

526
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: let's take a two week pause, shut it down for

527
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: two weeks, everybody quarantine and they get back to work

528
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: after that. Is there anything like that built into the

529
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: NFL protocol? Do you think? Well, it all comes down

530
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: to the availability of venues. It comes down to a

531
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: lot of scheduling. It's not that simple. I get what

532
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: you're saying, but I don't it's not that simple. It's

533
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: not that simple. There are too many variables involved with

534
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: the players, union, the league, all the stadiums and whether

535
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: they're ready or not, or can be played in or not.

536
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: You'd have to start almost from scratch with the schedule.

537
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: If you pause for two weeks, it's not just you

538
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: can't just hit the pause button and then go. They

539
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: could try it, and maybe they've got contingency players for that.

540
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: They do because I know with Tampa Bay's Stadium, which

541
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: is where the super Bowl is scheduled, they've got that

542
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: they have built in all four Sundays in the month

543
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 1: of February for the super Bowl to be played, So

544
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: conceivably they could move back the playoff schedule as many

545
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: as three weeks if they need to squeeze in or

546
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: reschedule some games at the end of Week seventeen, which

547
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: could be where the Titan Steelers game goes, and any

548
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: other games that might come up go. It could go

549
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: to a week eighteen for lack of a better term,

550
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: and then push the rest of the playoff schedule back

551
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: a week, especially if the teams involved are in playoff contention.

552
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: So there are contingency plans with the schedule to do that.

553
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: Because the league has reserved basically Tampa Stadium for all

554
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: four Sundays in the month of February, that's the only

555
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: one that's reserved. None of the other stadiums are now

556
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: some of them, it's not an issue. But you go

557
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: down to Pittsburgh and they've got college and high school

558
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: games going on there all the time. If they're playing football, right,

559
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: you've got soccer stadiums, You've got all this stuff going on.

560
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 1: To push pause for all thirty two teams for an

561
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: outbreak of the one we're watching. I you know, I

562
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: just think I think if a team gets an outbreak,

563
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: you gotta make them bite the bullet and kind of

564
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: fit their games in. I'm really now, they probably know

565
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: way more than I do. I'm just talking. Here is

566
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: one more radio voice. But it seems to me like

567
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: if a team gets an outbreak, they're gonna have to

568
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: suffer for it. Don't make the ripple effect go across

569
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: the league and say, listen, now you got to play

570
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: on the road six weeks in a row or something

571
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: crazy like that. You know, just don't go there, push

572
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: the game, put the game on a on a Wednesday

573
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: or even a Thursday. Who cares, and then push their

574
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: other game back. But you got to you gotta fit

575
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: these games in. If you start pushing them back, you're

576
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: asking for it. Well yeah, and that's all well and good,

577
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: but I think the league has told all thirty two

578
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: teams from the very beginning this season is not going

579
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: to be fair for everyone because of the different twists

580
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: and turns it could take. So go into this thing

581
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: knowing that it's not going to be a level playing

582
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: field because of what Kobe we can do, because of

583
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: what COVID can do to this regular season, and we're

584
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: beginning to see that. Unfortunately right now with this Titan

585
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: Steelers game and where it ultimately lands on the regular

586
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: season calendar, we have to take a break. But when

587
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll hear from coach McDermott as well

588
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: as Leslie Frazier about getting this defense into a more

589
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: fundamentally sound place going forward as they face one of

590
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: the biggest offensive lines in the league in the Las

591
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. That and more when we come back here

592
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Line presented by Kalida Health, This is

593
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris Brown Steve Tasker back with you

594
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: here on a Thursday edition of One Bills Live. We'll

595
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: get out to the practice field and just a little

596
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: bit and see what's going on out there. We're hearing

597
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: there are some encouraging signs with regard to the Bill's

598
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: injury report, so we'll see where it goes. We do

599
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: want to get to the tweet sheet as we are

600
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: asking you in light of the Titans Steelers game now

601
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: rescheduled for a later date to be determined, it is

602
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: not going to take place anytime next week. Essentially, the

603
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: Steelers and Titans will be getting a buye as the

604
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: Titans had another positive test today along with some defensive

605
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: assistance I heard are also on that list. So with

606
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: new cases, it wiped out the opportunity for them to

607
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: play this game next week. So with that in mind

608
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: and those developments taking place, what do you think are

609
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: the chances that all thirty two NFL clubs will play

610
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: all sixteen of their regular season games this season? And

611
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet is brought to you, as always by

612
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

613
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and Adam leads off and says I'm going

614
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: with b which was it's going to be tough to

615
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: pull off. The NFL will do everything in their power

616
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: to play one hundred percent of the games, but the

617
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: nature of the virus is uncertain to say that they'll

618
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: be able to accomplish that. An outbreak this early in

619
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: the season unfortunately does not bode well for the rest

620
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah. I mean, I don't know where

621
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: you came down on this, Steve, but I'm in the

622
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: same boat here. I based on what we've seen to

623
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: this point, I thought it was gonna it's gonna be

624
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: an uphill climb to get all sixteen games in for

625
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams. Yeah, considering we didn't think they're

626
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna be able to play any games about six months ago,

627
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: it's something that they've gotten this far. But I'm I'm

628
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm of a mind to say no, I think they're

629
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna get it done. I think they will get it done.

630
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: I think they've got a lot of smart people attacking it.

631
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: I think they got a lot of disciplined and great

632
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: leadership in the coaching ranks of this league and at

633
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: the top. I think they're gonna get it in. They'll

634
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: get all them in. It won't look like a normal

635
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: season obviously, even we've already seen this delay in a game.

636
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: But I think they're gonna get them all in, and

637
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: I think the season is going to take place all

638
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: sixteen games for all thirty two teams. So I think

639
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: they can do it. And I didn't think that even

640
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: as recently as five six weeks ago. But as soon

641
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: as we got close, as soon as they started practicing

642
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: and getting ready for that game, and as soon as

643
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: we got through the first two actually the first well

644
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: two weeks of the season unscathed, it gives me great

645
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: hope that they're going to be able to pull this off.

646
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: Even with the outbreak in Minnesota this last week, I'm

647
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: pretty sure with a contact tracing and the way that

648
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 1: they will examine what they did in Minnesota and spread

649
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: that information out to all the other teams and say, listen,

650
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: this is what happened. Here's where we think that the

651
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: bubble burst. Watch out for this. I think they'll get

652
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: better and better at doing it, and I don't think so.

653
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: That's my thought about how it's going to work, and

654
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: so I'm optimistic they're still going to do it. Yeah.

655
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't debate for a second that there are people

656
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: diligently working at this at the league level, at the

657
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: team and club level. I just worry that there are

658
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: a way too many other variables out there that are

659
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: out of their control that are going to compromise this season.

660
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: In some way, shape or form. And then when you

661
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 1: have people being irresponsible the Raiders were on Monday night,

662
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: that gives me even more concern that something's going to

663
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: go awry and make it difficult for them to pull

664
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: this off. All right, we have to take a break,

665
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: but when we return, we'll get out to the sidelines

666
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: on the practice field with One Maddi Glabish. She will

667
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 1: bring us up to speed on just what we're looking

668
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: at in terms of the Bill's injury list and who's

669
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: participating and who is not. That's coming up next here

670
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida Help. This is

671
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you One

672
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: Bills Live Thursday edition, And without any further delay, we

673
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: head out to the practice field where we join multimedia

674
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: reporter Maddy glab who's along the sidelines taking in practice

675
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: and Maddie, good news on the riskiver front with respect

676
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: to the Bills injury report. Correct, the receivers are so

677
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: hype and happy today. I'm watching them as individual drills

678
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: are about to start. Ida mcknzie Gabriel Davis just like

679
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: splid across the grass and started dancing it looked like

680
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: there was some breakdancing action. That group is so fun

681
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: to watch. But yes, some good news. John Brown, who

682
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: was not at practice yesterday with that calf injury he's

683
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: been dealing with. He's at practice today and dressed fully.

684
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: Now I've got to say, they don't have any pads

685
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: on today. It's just jerseys and helmets, so that could

686
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: be different if they were, you know, in full pads today.

687
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: But it's good to see John Brown is back out

688
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: there going through drills right now with his teammates. And

689
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: we also have on the injury board. You know, last

690
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: week Zach Moss was out of the game, and so

691
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: was Dawson Knox. Any word on how those guys are faring,

692
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: And we heard also that I think Jawson Knox actually

693
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: practiced yesterday. Yeah, Dawson Knox yesterday did practice. It had

694
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: on the practice report that he was full yesterday. Of

695
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: course he was dealing with a concussion. We're not sure

696
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: if he's out of the pro call yet. We should

697
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: get word about that tomorrow. Once we talked to Sean McDermott.

698
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: He is out here today in a white jersey, which

699
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: the offense is and why the defense is in blue.

700
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: And then Zach Moss is also out here in a

701
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: white jersey. Doesn't look to be limited at all. But again,

702
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: we'll get a full practice report this afternoon once practice

703
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: finishes up. Moss was dealing with that toe injury and

704
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: he was limited in yesterday's practice when they're in full pads.

705
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: And I guess there's two other players that are back

706
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: practicing after missing Wednesday in on the defensive side of

707
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: the ball, Mica and quintin right. Yeah, Quinton Jefferson is

708
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: out here dressed. He did not practice yesterday with that

709
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: foot injury. And then Mica, who got that ankle injury

710
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: during the game on Sunday. He did not practice yesterday.

711
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: He did go back into the game after he got

712
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: injured to finish the game out but he's out here too,

713
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: wearing blue. I've got to add that. Ed Oliver also

714
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: he was limited yesterday. He's out here again. Edward was

715
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: limited with that knee injury. And then also, I gotta

716
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: update you guys about Delshan Phillips. We really haven't seen

717
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: him dressed at all in the last two weeks. Today

718
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: he was out here in a jersey. Now he was

719
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: off to the side doing a lot of stuff with

720
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: the trainers. But he did have a helmet, so it's

721
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: good to see that he has put a jersey on

722
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: and a helmet. We'll see how much he does in

723
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: practice today. Yeah, that's good. That certainly indicates he's getting

724
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: closer to a return from that quad injury for sure.

725
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins, though, who left the game with a shoulder

726
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: injury last week, where is he at at this point? Yeah,

727
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: Dion did not practice yesterday. He is in a red

728
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: jersey today. He is the only player aside from the

729
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that is in a red jersey. So we'll see

730
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: how much he does. I'm looking over at him right now.

731
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: It just looks like the offensive line is doing some

732
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: individual drills. But he's up right now going up against

733
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: doing some drills with the bags. So we'll see what

734
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: the status is on Dion again, it'd be awesome to

735
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: have him in the game this Sunday, going up the

736
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: Raiders defensive line. What about Tremaine Edmonds. He was back

737
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: in the lineup this last week and he was limited yesterday.

738
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: What's he looked like today? Yeah, Tremaine Edmonds. We really

739
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen Tremaine without a red jersey lately. But Tremaine

740
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: is not sporting the red jersey today, so that's a

741
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: good sign for him and his health. Of course, he

742
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: played in the game, but you know said that he

743
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: wasn't really full, so hopefully by this week he may

744
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: be fully recovered. Of course, he was needed in the game,

745
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: so that's why he played, and Leslie Frasier commented on

746
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: how good it was to have Tremaine back in the game,

747
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: but it's even better not seeing him in a red

748
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: jersey in practice because he was in a red jersey

749
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: all throughout last week. Yeah, no question about it. Anybody

750
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: else catch your eye from the injury report, Maddie that

751
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: we need to be aware of with respect to their

752
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: participation level today. Yeah, nobody else on the injury report

753
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: that I can think of. Of course, it was a

754
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: longer list yesterday and last week. It seems like a

755
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: lot of these players who were limited or who we

756
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: do not practice are out here today and aren't wearing red.

757
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: So that's a good sign. And the Raiders are dealing

758
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: with a lot of injuries right now, so I would

759
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: say it looks like we're faring better than Oakland right

760
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: not Oakland, Las Vegas right now. Due to their injury

761
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: report that came out yesterday, quite a few starters did

762
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: not practice on their team. That's okay, Maddie that you

763
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: said Oakland, because Steve still says San Diego for the

764
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: Chargers and that's two years in the rear viewers, right, Thanks, Mattie.

765
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate the update, Maddie, appreciate you. Yeah, of course,

766
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: all right, Maddie glab out at the sidelines keeping tabs

767
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: on practice for us, but mostly good news from the

768
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: Bill's practice field today because John Brown is back, as

769
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: is Micah Hyde, as is Quentin Jefferson. All three of

770
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: those players did not practice at all yesterday, dealing with

771
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: some nagging things, it seems like more than anything else.

772
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: And you know, coach McDermott is not shy about giving players,

773
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: especially veteran players, that extra day of recovery if it

774
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: means they're going to be that much better on the

775
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: practice field Thursday and Friday getting ready for Sunday, right,

776
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: And you would expect this too. You got to think

777
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: about it this way, Well, what used to be in

778
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: normal years ago and what has been the case for

779
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: years This kind of happens during training Camper to get

780
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: a lot of soft tissue injury, and most teams do

781
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: go through a larger number of injuries, and the Bills

782
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: have had to suffer through the last couple of years

783
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And I would say that after these

784
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: first four weeks this week and then next week included,

785
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: that they'll start to get their hand their feet underneath them.

786
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: With the injuries as well, it'll be much less a factor. Now.

787
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: You're always going to get guys with bumps and get

788
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: in game stuff like Micah Hyde did this week, but

789
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: you'll get fewer and fewer injuries of not an impact nature,

790
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: so you'll get fewer pulled muscles, and most of the

791
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: injuries will be you know, like that Tremaine Edmonds and

792
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: Micah Hide injuries and the Dion Dawkins injury rather than

793
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: the guys like Zach Moss and you know that kind

794
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: of thing. So and the pulled muscles and all that.

795
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: So those are the injuries that kind of come with

796
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: playing football. The other injuries, the soft tissue injuries, are

797
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: more about guys just trying to get back into shape

798
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: and competing at a high level when you can't really

799
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: train at a high level, right and The other thing

800
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: that we did neglect to mention with respect to participation

801
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: is Josh Norman, who is practicing this week. He is

802
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: still on injured reserve. The Bills do have the option

803
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: if they like what they see and believe Josh Norman

804
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: is completely ready to play coming off of the hamstring injury,

805
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: they can activate him off injured reserve. Obviously, they would

806
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: have to make room for him on the active roster

807
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: to do that, and they would have up until four

808
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 1: pm on Saturday to make that move, so he would

809
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: be eligible to play on Sunday if they felt they

810
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: wanted to go that route. So they're going to be

811
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on him, see how he makes his

812
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: way through practice through the course of the week, and

813
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: then at the end of the week, if they want

814
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: to make the decision to pull him up to the

815
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: active roster, they could do that. So right, and then

816
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: you get into the guessing game about who's gonna my guess.

817
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: My guess would be cam Lewis, who is on the

818
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: active roster right now, was previously on the practice squad

819
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: and they called him up to kind of be extra

820
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: depth with Norman on IR. So you logic to me

821
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: would say you just flip those two guys, get Lewis

822
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: back through and on the practice squad and the way

823
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: you go right, so makes sense to see. I'd be

824
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know about is Josh Norman. Yeah,

825
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: I want to see that guy practice and play, and

826
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: if he gets back in the lineup, yeah, into the

827
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: lineup for the first time, it'll be interesting to see.

828
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if there is a pressing need to

829
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: get him up and play in a game on Sunday,

830
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: only because it's looking more and more. As Maddy mentioned,

831
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders injury list is even longer than Buffalo is.

832
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: That's sixteen players on their injury list this week. Six

833
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: players trying to come back from injury and looking good

834
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: to do so for them, but ten others who are

835
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 1: real question marks for the Raiders to play this week,

836
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: including their two rookie wide receivers who are starters and

837
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: Brian Edwards who was already ruled out by John Gruden

838
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, and Henry Ruggs, they're one of their top

839
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: picks who's dealing with knee and hamstring injuries and is

840
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: a long shot to play by all indications as well.

841
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: So you take out their two starting wide receivers, and

842
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: suddenly it's a much easier cross to bear for Buffalo's

843
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: defensive back. So do you Josh Norman back out on

844
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: the field if you're not one hundred percent certain that

845
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: he's ready. I don't know that you do because you

846
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: want to believe that the guys you have are gonna

847
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: match up pretty well without the Raiders having two of

848
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: their top receivers, right right, And that's and it might

849
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: be on a week like this where you say, okay,

850
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: let's let's get Josh Norman a chance to play, or

851
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: let's try something if we're gonna expere It also might

852
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: be a good week, yeah, to get him up to speed.

853
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: He might get him up to speed against a depleted

854
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Plus it also gets him and he's also

855
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: a veteran guy and he's been around the block nineteen

856
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: thousand times, so right, so you want you might be

857
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: the week to bring him up and also get him

858
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: on the road trip to get him acclimated that way,

859
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: and let and just because it won't be a big

860
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: deal to him. Uh, all of that stuff goes into

861
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: the mix. Not that not that all these none of

862
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: these guys know how to play in a road game

863
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: or anything. But I just think getting him acclimated and

864
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: get him on the road in a road game first, uh,

865
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: would do a lot of I think it just does

866
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: a lot of It makes a lot of sense to me.

867
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: Getting a guy who's got a ton of experience in

868
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: the NFL on the road, going to Vegas for the

869
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: first time with this team against a depleted wide receiver corps.

870
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: His technique and his savvy may pay dividends if they

871
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: can get him on the field, and I think it

872
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: might be. Yeah, I mean they can because I don't

873
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 1: think that this whole team and I've said it a ton, Brownie,

874
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: We've talked about it a bunch this whole first month

875
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: of the season. They're still finding out stuff. And they've

876
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: got a guy here and Josh Norman. They were so

877
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: now without a preseason right and they're they've got a

878
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 1: guy in Josh Norman who they brought in to compete

879
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: for this to be a starter, and they haven't even

880
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: seen him play on the field yet. So I think

881
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: there's still a lot to learn about this football team.

882
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: They're still finding out and if he's ready to go,

883
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: man oh Man, I don't know how you resist finding out. Yeah,

884
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: So you could look at this two ways. One way is, hey,

885
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: the other team looks like they're gonna be without their

886
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 1: top two wide receiver. We don't need to rush Josh

887
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: Norman back if we think he's ninety percent of the

888
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: way there will wait another week and he'll be good

889
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: to go the following week for sure. Or you say,

890
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: if you think he is ready, hey, this is a

891
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: perfect opportunity for him to get his feet wet again

892
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: back in a regular season game setting after being out

893
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: for the better part of a month. He's not going

894
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: to be going against top flight talent. Let's get him

895
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: on the field, get him some reps, so he's that

896
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: much more ready the following week when you play a

897
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,479
Speaker 1: Titans team that's got some pretty darn good receivers. So

898
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: that's Those are the two ways to look at that situation.

899
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: So we'll see what the Bills ultimately decide when they

900
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: get to the end of the week. The gamesmanship might

901
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: come into it saying, listen, let's hold him out. He's ready,

902
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: but you know what, let's spring him on the Titans

903
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: because we've got a package for him and the Titans

904
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: won't have seen it, they won't be able to prepare

905
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: for it. Let's do it, then, yeah they could. I

906
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: don't sense that that's the way coach McDermott operations. He's

907
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: usually like this game this week, nothing else, So I

908
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: don't know if he goes that route, But yeah, I

909
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. The Titans certainly looked like a

910
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: much more remidable task in terms of competition level than

911
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Although the Raiders are scoring points at twenty

912
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: nine point three per game, I mean they're less than

913
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: a point behind or a point or two behind what

914
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: the Bills have been putting up on offense. And they've

915
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: played some pretty good teams, including the Patriots in the Saints,

916
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: So you know, the Raiders are nobody to sneeze at now.

917
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: They have problems stopping people, but they'll keep up with

918
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: you on the scoreboard. At least they've proven the ability

919
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: to do that up until last week. So I got

920
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: some guys, there's quite They're a talented squad and they've

921
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, they've blown I think they've made some mistakes

922
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: on the field that have cost them at times, and

923
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's kind of been there. What has

924
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: happened to them, but they you know, listen, they're two

925
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: and one and they got beat by the Patriots. Yeah,

926
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: all right, we have to take a break. But before

Speaker 1: two clubs play all sixteen of their regular season games

950

951

Speaker 1: be determined as to when they will play that game

952

Speaker 1: your comments on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live

955
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: back in a moment here on one Bills Live, presented

956
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Hello,

957
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: Bills Radio Network. Sports Update. Your sports update from one

958
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: Bills Drive. The news good on the Bills practice field

959
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: after seven starters popped up on the Bill's injury report

960
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: this week, The news today is good. John Brown, Micah Hyde,

961
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: and Quentin Jefferson all return to practice after missing Wednesday's session.

962
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: Zach Moss and Dawson Knox, who both missed last week's game,

963
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: practicing for a second straight day today, and Tremaine Edmonds

964
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: out of the red non contact jersey for the first

965
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 1: time since suffering a shoulder injury back in Week one.

966
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins, however, in a red non contact jersey, so

967
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: likely to be a limited participant at best today. Josh

968
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: Norman also back practicing but still on injured reserve. With

969
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: one thirty eight passing yards, ten passing touchdowns, eighty four

970
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, Bill's quarterback Josh Allen

971
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month

972
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: four September. Allen is the first player to earn this

973
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: honor for the Bills since former quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick all

974
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: the way back in two eleven amazing. The Tennessee Titans

975
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh Steelers game won't be played this week or

976
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: even early next week on Monday or Tuesday, as originally hoped.

977
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: It's a first game postponed due to the COVID nineteen pandemic.

978
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: The NFL is rescheduling the matchup for later in the

979
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 1: season at a date to be determined. After an additional

980
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: Titans player and one staff member tested positive for COVID

981
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: nineteen from Wednesday's round of testing. The NFL today, it

982
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: hoped to play the game this week, possibly pushing it

983
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 1: to Monday or Tuesday, but these new positive tests wiped

984
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: out that possibility. When members of the Las Vegas Raiders

985
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 1: attended a charity event Monday night that saw several players

986
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 1: not wearing masks indoors with more than a hundred people,

987
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: it brought a focus on how seriously those players were

988
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 1: adhering to the protocols. Head coach John Gruden addressed a

989
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: situation with his players, saying, quote, I'll just say this,

990
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: We've done a good job. We've done an excellent job.

991
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: Last night it was addressed with our players. They walked

992
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: in with their masks on. There was an event. Sometimes

993
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: you go to a restaurant, take your mask off. They're

994
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: aware of their mistake. End quote, and that is your

995
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: sports update. Somehow, I don't think it was that simple.

996
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: With the video footage we have on that event, they

997
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: had their masks off for more than just a moment.

998
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: It was an extended period of time and it's certainly troubling.

999
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: We obviously hope that there are no Raiders players who

1000
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: test positive, because then, of course it runs the risk

1001
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: of compromising Sunday's game against the Bill. To what extent,

1002
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: we don't really know, and we won't until we see

1003
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: if and when some players turn up positive. But knowing

1004
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: that event was Monday night, Steve, and the incubation period

1005
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: is two to eight days, tonight would mark forty eight

1006
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 1: hours for them, I'm sorry, last night would mark forty

1007
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: eight hours for them. So when they come into work

1008
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: this morning and take their daily test, those test results,

1009
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: which will come back Friday morning, that's the first day

1010
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: where you could potentially see some positives, right, but it

1011
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 1: could be as late as next Tuesday, could be Yeah, well,

1012
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: you just gotta hold your breath, yep, because the Raiders

1013
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: obviously are not going to punish these guys for doing

1014
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: something that's blatantly against the protocols that the league and

1015
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: the union have laid out. And they couldn't have been

1016
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,959
Speaker 1: more wrong. And it's on video and whatever put spin

1017
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: they put on it, maybe this what they Maybe they

1018
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: had their mass off for thirty seconds of this video

1019
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: two different times. And the thing where none of them

1020
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: were and there you know, they wouldn't even have a

1021
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: mask visible hobnob and shaking hands with other people. Whatever,

1022
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: Maybe this was all we saw and maybe they'll get

1023
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: off scott free, that's great. But nevertheless, they're completely busted

1024
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: and we'll shaking hands with people. We will see if

1025
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: the virus is a part of this or not, you know,

1026
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if they're gonna get nailed for this or not.

1027
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: You hope they don't because there's a lot of teams

1028
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: that don't deserve to be exposed like that. And if

1029
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: these guys did, yeah, that's yeah. You just hope it

1030
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: doesn't come to that. We just hope. You got to

1031
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: hold your breath and hope these guys skated through in

1032
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: a room full of people and nobody had nobody of

1033
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 1: all the two hundred people in the room had a virus. Nobody.

1034
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: I don't like the odds, but fingers crossed eight three,

1035
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: five fifty to join us as we are asking you

1036
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: your level of confidence that all thirty two NFL clubs

1037
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: will play all sixteen of their regular season games this season.

1038
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: We already know what's happened with the Titans and the Steelers.

1039
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: We're crossing our fingers that nothing happens here with the

1040
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: Raiders in light of their irresponsible behavior. So feel free

1041
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: to chime in if you want at one Bills Live

1042
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet or at eight fifty. We are

1043
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: going to go to the phones here and talk to

1044
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: Kevin in La who's got something to say about this. Kevin,

1045
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. What do you have for us?

1046
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: Hey Fellas, thanks for taking my call, and Chris, thanks

1047
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: for hammering this home. Steve as well, Thank you guys

1048
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: for just hitting this on the head. I think the

1049
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 1: problem I have with the way things are being viewed

1050
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: from my perspective is exactly what you said. You know,

1051
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: John Bruden comes out with that statement when the video

1052
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: says otherwise. And it seems that there's a level of

1053
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: lack of punitive, lack of a punitive nature to what's

1054
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: going on here, especially given the seriousness from a health perspective,

1055
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: but also jeopardizing the league. And it seems like teams

1056
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: like the Steelers, teams like the Bills, you know, they're

1057
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: being forced into physicians that have inconvenience them. Two different

1058
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: scenarios here, but I think that the league wants to

1059
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: play sixteen games, there needs to be something in place

1060
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: as significant or severe as safe forfeiture of games. It's

1061
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: not the Bill's fault that the Raiders are out there

1062
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: hobnab and slapping five hugging and things like that. And

1063
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, and the last point I'll make is, and

1064
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 1: I'll play to a regular citizen like myself who works

1065
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: in business, and everything's a business decision for yourself and

1066
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: for your family. I have some co workers that are

1067
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 1: flying out from Los Angeles to Texas for weddings and

1068
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: having family barbecues. While most people I work with, at

1069
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: least what they represent, are similar to myself. It's my wife,

1070
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: my four year old, and myself in the home and

1071
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: we pretty much locked it down like that. So I

1072
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: think the decision making people need to be more accountable

1073
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: for that, held accountable for that. I just don't think

1074
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: it's fair to the Bills. I think the Raiders and

1075
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: the Titans to be more punished for this. Well, there's

1076
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: nothing that says the Titans did anything wrong except come

1077
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: down with a positive test, unlike the Raiders. Now here's

1078
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: and here's the problem. We said this in the first segment.

1079
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: What happens when the Titans go through and did all

1080
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: the protocols, went on a road trip, came home somewhere

1081
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: along the line, eight guys tested or seven guys got

1082
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: tested positive, and then another one this week as they

1083
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: got back and they for as far as they know,

1084
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: they can't even figure out where they got it or

1085
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: and then the other thing, and this is was things

1086
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: so maddening for all of us out here in the

1087
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: general population. Then you got the Raiders totally like skimming by,

1088
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: like no no mask, going out partying with all these

1089
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: strange people in a strange country club, and and none

1090
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: of them get it. That's the injustice of this whole thing.

1091
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: You think, what are we doing here? You can't outsmart

1092
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: this thing and the protocols that you follow, you get

1093
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: nicked because of it for somehow, some way. And these

1094
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: guys go out and just totally flout the rules and

1095
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: do this, and you know, so far nobody's been tested positive.

1096
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: It's that's the maddening part about the whole thing. And

1097
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: there's there's no getting your mind around it because it's

1098
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: so illogical. As this news was all coming down yesterday

1099
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: between the Titans and the Steelers game being postponed and

1100
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: then the Raiders irresponsible behavior captured on video. Trudevious White,

1101
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: who was made available to the media on a Zoom

1102
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: conference call after practice yesterday was asked about this very subject,

1103
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: and let's not forget it was only about five weeks ago.

1104
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: We're six weeks ago where Trudevious White was very upfront

1105
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: about being on the fantis to whether he was going

1106
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: to play this season. He was strongly considering opting out.

1107
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: So he was asked yesterday by the media how all

1108
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: of this recent COVID news with the Titans and the

1109
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: Steelers and with the irresponsible behavior of the Raiders grabbed him.

1110
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: Let's hear what he's said. It's definitely something that you know,

1111
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: guys mentioned it in the locker room too, so you

1112
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: know it raised a lot of in talents. But I

1113
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: feel like, but we could tell to take the precautions

1114
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: and do all the things that we're supposed to do

1115
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: and going to place that we're supposed to go in,

1116
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: just you know, not being selfish with it. I think

1117
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: we'll be fine for having his job and not being

1118
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: able to do anything and enjoy yourself. It's definitely tough,

1119
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: but if you got to know what's important. You got

1120
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: a lot of teammates and guys on your team that's

1121
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: depending on you too, So you don't want to let

1122
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 1: your teammates down, your coaches down, or anybody else down,

1123
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: your teammates family down. So if you say you keep

1124
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: that in perspective, man, it's bigger than one guy. It'd

1125
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: be bigger than you. So I mean, if you think

1126
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: about other people which our teammates been doing, I feel

1127
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: like it'd be okay. Yeah. The only problem with that

1128
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: approach is even if the Bills do everything right to

1129
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: the letter, they can't control what the Raiders are or

1130
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: are not doing right. And this is a perfect example

1131
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: of it. You're ready and preparing to play the Raiders,

1132
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: you're doing everything right. When you leave the team facility

1133
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: and go home, you basically hold yourself up with your family.

1134
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: You're not going out running around anywhere restaurants, You're nothing

1135
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: like that. You're making those you're making the right sacrifices

1136
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: to do right by your teammates and your coaches. Here

1137
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and across the country, you've got a Raiders

1138
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: team doing the exact opposite. I can't imagine how frustrating

1139
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: that's got to be. It's like, hey, man, what are

1140
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: you guys doing out there? Like we're trying to do

1141
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: the right thing over here, what's the deal, Like, you

1142
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: got to be better than that, and they're just not,

1143
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: or they weren't on Monday night. So and I know,

1144
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: I saw that Derek Carr was asked about it yesterday

1145
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, it's unfortunate that we kind of

1146
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: took our masks off for a few moments. A few moments.

1147
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we have three minutes of video footage alone

1148
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 1: without their masks on, and that's just cut up, edited

1149
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: video footage. What was the real length of time? Don't

1150
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: tell me a few moments. We've got three minutes. We

1151
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: got a three minute loop of video with nobody's mask on,

1152
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: So don't tell me a few moments that's that's not right. Uh,

1153
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: don't misconstrue it. If you're wrong, you're wrong, and say

1154
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: you're wrong. Here's the thing, too, got to own it.

1155
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Charity events abound in our country. They're everywhere in every city,

1156
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: and every NFL team is subject to going to a

1157
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: lot of them. And different it's a different animal in

1158
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. There are different considerations, There are different, uh,

1159
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: circumstances that you have to take into consideration whether you

1160
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: can even attend these things. And I'm all about these

1161
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: guys doing it. It's a it's a fact cause it's

1162
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: part of their it's part of their job description as

1163
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: a as a public figure in an NFL athlete, to

1164
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: be a part of their community that they're playing in

1165
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: and giving a passion of financial to all that and

1166
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: encourage others to give and be a part of these

1167
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: charity organizations. Nobody's saying anything like that. This has to

1168
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: do with this has to do with the virus and

1169
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: what you do in an interpersonal setting in a place

1170
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: where there's a ton of people, and you have been

1171
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: expressly told by your place of employment not to do this,

1172
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: and they did it. And now, because of the competitive

1173
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: nature of the business that they're in, the Raiders aren't

1174
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: going to do anything to punish them or any They

1175
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: just say, hey, we noted it, we told them not

1176
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: to do that anymore, and that's it. That's the end

1177
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: of it. So whether that's enough or not, there's nothing

1178
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: else going to happen to these guys unless they test positive. Right,

1179
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: that's I know you're convinced of that. I know you're

1180
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: convinced that the Raiders are not going to come down

1181
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: on these players despite the irresponsible behavior and really they're

1182
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: the only to t that can punish them. I don't

1183
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: know what the league's powers are. I don't believe they

1184
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: have any specifically with COVID nineteen violations. I believe they

1185
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,439
Speaker 1: left that at the team level. I'll throw a double

1186
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: check in the break when we have an opportunity, but

1187
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: it sits at the team level to our knowledge based

1188
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: on what we have read and researched on this. So

1189
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: that's why Steve is convinced that they will not face

1190
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: any repercussions because he's not of the belief that the

1191
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: Raiders are going to act and lay down punitive consequences

1192
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: as a result of their irresponsible actions because quite frankly,

1193
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: they need the players that were involved, especially with all

1194
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: the injured players that they currently have. That's neither here

1195
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: nor there. But let's go back to the phones at

1196
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: eight oh three, five fifty and we start here with

1197
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: Nathan and Amherst. Nathan, Welcome to the show. What do

1198
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: you have for us? Thanks guys, appreciating it, you know,

1199
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: a long time, first time, so you know, it's really

1200
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: nice to be talking to you guys, and obviously love you.

1201
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean what you brought up about, you know, the

1202
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: fact that the Titans really didn't do anything wrong. They

1203
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: probably got the virus in Minnesota, like, and you know,

1204
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: their game has got to be postponed, and the Raiders

1205
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: are just shrugging their shoulders, which shouldn't even be too surprising.

1206
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: You're just th Gruden, like, you know, flouting not wearing

1207
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: his mask, and it's like, you know, you are a

1208
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: mask for a half hour. You're used to it, like,

1209
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: get over it, you know. So it's just maddening that

1210
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,919
Speaker 1: other teams have to deal with this, like because it's

1211
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: just so stupid and something like, you know, I'm glad

1212
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: that Trey used the word selfish. You know, it's just

1213
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's maddening. And I also started to point

1214
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: out I was watching Yester or listening yesterday when the

1215
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: when Greg came on, and I Brownie, you you are

1216
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 1: you should you? I would not have been. I have

1217
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: gotten fired for trying to respond to that guy. So

1218
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: I lovely response to it. And I'm gonna just hang

1219
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: up and listen and just commend you for being a

1220
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: better man than me talking to that guy. Well, Steve

1221
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: was even better than I was because I was getting

1222
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: hot and had to take a time out. And I said, Steve,

1223
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm hot right now. You got to talk because I

1224
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: didn't know where I was going there. So Steve's got

1225
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. His blood doesn't boil as quickly as

1226
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: mind does with stuff like that. But and I said

1227
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: it yesterday. My anger and frustration with all of this

1228
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: is rooted primarily in the fact that I thought something

1229
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: of this magnitude that literally affects every single American in

1230
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: this country. It affects everyone coast to coast, north to south,

1231
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: east to west. I thought something of this magnitude would

1232
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: pull everybody closer together, because it really is one fight

1233
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: for every single one of us. I thought it would

1234
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: unify this country, and it has divided it even more.

1235
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: And it's so maddening for me. Why this isn't something

1236
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: that everybody can get behind and rally together too. Beat

1237
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: It's just it's really disappointing to me, number one. And

1238
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: then it's frustrating to me number two. And so when

1239
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: somebody said, how can you knock these guys going to

1240
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 1: a charity event, it's okay to break COVID, you know,

1241
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: insinuating almost that it's okay to break COVID nineteen protocols

1242
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: if it's for a charity event and it's just one

1243
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: is completely irrelevant from the other. As Steve was just outlining,

1244
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, these charity events are great, they are noble causes.

1245
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: We don't dispute that for a second. But to completely

1246
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: flout the COVID nineteen protocols to support something like this

1247
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: and put yourself in a dangerous situation that could compromise

1248
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: your own team and at a larger level, the league's schedule,

1249
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: it's just it's unconscionable. You don't have to say it,

1250
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: but I guess you do have to say it these days.

1251
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Just because it's a charity event doesn't mean the virus

1252
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: is going to say to itself, oh gosh, it's a

1253
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: charity event. I'm going to stay away. And on a

1254
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: lesser level, and on a lesser level, I'm annoyed and

1255
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: frustrated because we haven't got a handle on this pandemic,

1256
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: because we are not unified, and how we are trying

1257
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: who fight it with everybody fighting in the same way

1258
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: and doing right by their common by their fellow citizens.

1259
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just about protecting yourself, it's about

1260
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: protecting others too. And on a second, level. I'm frustrated

1261
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: because of the way this season has started and where

1262
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 1: we believe it can go for the Bills. And it's

1263
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: bad enough that we don't have fans in the stands,

1264
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: But if this season gets compromised because of irresponsible behavior

1265
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: like that of the Raiders and potentially Deep six, is

1266
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: the season altogether with where we think this team is going,

1267
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be through the roof like you thought I

1268
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: was angry yesterday. If that happens, Oh man, what I mean?

1269
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: Think about it? Say, for instance, the Bills, somehow they

1270
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: get this game in with the Raiders. The Bills win,

1271
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: and then they go into Tennessee and Tennessee's not quite

1272
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: right and there and the Bills win there, And you've

1273
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: got a Thursday night game as an undefeated team hosting

1274
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game in your building against the defending

1275
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: world champion Kansas City Chiefs, and all of a sudden,

1276
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: because of something that happened with the Titans, you can't play. Yeah,

1277
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: you're undefeated. You got a Thursday night game against the

1278
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: Chiefs or something that happens with the Chiefs and they

1279
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: can't play. You know, you got a game like you've

1280
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: got a season going like that, with a game like

1281
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: that on the her Hyson and the league says, you

1282
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: know what we can do. And the league, from the

1283
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: very beginning of this season, not knowing what the future

1284
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: would hold with all the various variables involved with travel

1285
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: and relying on every single player, coach, support staff member

1286
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: to do the right thing one hundred percent of the time,

1287
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: they said, look, you need to be prepared for the

1288
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: fact that, in all likelihood, this is not going to

1289
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: be a level playing field this season for all thirty

1290
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: two clubs. And my greatest fear is the Bills have

1291
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: this monster season. They're playing well, but a game gets

1292
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: scrapped because a team like the Raiders does something. The

1293
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: Bills can't play that game. They can't find a way

1294
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,560
Speaker 1: to reschedule it. They say, okay, well, the Bills and

1295
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: Raiders this season are only gonna play fifteen games, and

1296
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers and Titans this season are only gonna play

1297
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,799
Speaker 1: fifteen games. And the Bills lose the division on winning

1298
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: percentage because they can't play a sixteenth game, and they

1299
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:13,600
Speaker 1: lose the division to the Patriots because they have a

1300
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: better winning percentage, and they get no home field exactly.

1301
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: Those are the kinds of things and maybe I'm crazy,

1302
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: but those are the kinds of things that I think

1303
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: about and get concerned about when I see these things happening. Yeah,

1304
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: there's a I get it, and that we can. Yeah,

1305
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: you can all conjure up all kinds of nightmare scenarios

1306
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: like you and I just did. But you know, there's

1307
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 1: a lot of football to be played. It looks like

1308
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Raiders game is gonna go off

1309
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,640
Speaker 1: without a hitch. But the next test come into the

1310
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: next seventy two hours. Critic means something, and it has

1311
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: nothing to do with what's going on in the practice fields.

1312
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: It has to do with what's going on in a

1313
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: lab somewhere in Jersey. Eight oh three five fifty one

1314
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty To join us,

1315
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: we go to Mark in Buffalo. Mark, Welcome to the show.

1316
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Hey, how's it going? Guy?

1317
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. You know, I pretty much

1318
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: agree one hundred percent with what you're saying. It's everything

1319
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: going on, bigger than the individual, bigger than football. The

1320
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: football players are out there though we're a lot of

1321
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: young kids. They're seeing what they're doing and everything, and

1322
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: the thought of example kind of pops in my head

1323
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: with Gruden though, because you got Gruden on the sideline

1324
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: without a mask, he gets fined. Next time you see him,

1325
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: looks like he's wearing like a shoe string for a mask. Basically,

1326
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he looks I mean, it looks like

1327
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: he's wearing an Abraham Lincoln beard. It's ridiculous. But I mean,

1328
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: you got you got all the players that see you know,

1329
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: spend the time with him in the locker room, spend

1330
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,560
Speaker 1: time with him in practice. They they see what the

1331
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: coach is doing and they're taking example on that, you

1332
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And to me, it's kind of

1333
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 1: like you got a whole coach over there who's leading,

1334
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, by example, and it's it's not the good example.

1335
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: You know it. Whether you agree with having a mask

1336
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 1: on or not, if you got a point one percent

1337
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: chance of helping somebody out in their health, I'm I'm

1338
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: all for something like that. Thank you. I mean, you

1339
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,560
Speaker 1: got a call. It's like Sean McDermott, you know, my

1340
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: guests would be even if some of the players over

1341
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 1: here didn't agree with it. You got a guy who

1342
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,560
Speaker 1: leads by examples as we do this. We do it

1343
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 1: because you know it's right, it's the rules, that's what

1344
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna do. But you know, you see somebody like Ruten,

1345
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: he just seems like he always does what he wants

1346
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: to do. And I feel like that's I don't know,

1347
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: like what else you do? You know, you find the

1348
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: club a quarter million dollars and yeah, or however much

1349
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 1: it ended up being, you know, and then you still

1350
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: see him kind of like not caring. It seems like money,

1351
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: money doesn't matter, the rules don't matter. At what point

1352
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,600
Speaker 1: do you do? You do something else? And then what

1353
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: else do you do? I guess you know that's that's

1354
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 1: my thought problem, right, and and the other And thanks

1355
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: for the call, Mark, We appreciate it. Um. The thing

1356
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: for me, Steve is we hear this all the time.

1357
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:46,640
Speaker 1: Players are often the reflection of their head coach, and

1358
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: this doesn't reflect very well on John Gruden. No, it doesn't,

1359
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: particularly in the he and he's sitting there saying we've

1360
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: done We've done an outstanding job. We've done this, we're

1361
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: doing an an outstanding job. I don't know if I

1362
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: can agree, but that's not the right tone to take.

1363
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: In that interview. Uh, yeah, it looks bad. It's bad optics.

1364
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: It's uh and I and listen to that. We would

1365
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: never and listen, we would never have heard about any

1366
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: of this had it not been for some random guy

1367
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: taken video at a charity event and putting it out

1368
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 1: on the internet, or or somebody got wind of the

1369
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 1: fine that the country club incurred and then started taking

1370
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 1: a closer look at what went on over there. Right,

1371
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: there's a there's a lot of things. There's a lot

1372
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: of uh layers to it. Um, not the least of

1373
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: which this happened in Vegas and at a country club,

1374
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, there's all kinds of red flags

1375
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: about this and just the stuff, you know, and it's

1376
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: there's just no, there's no. It's indefensible. It's the problem.

1377
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: It's really indefensible. And it's and to have the raiders

1378
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: just you know, kind of shrug it off. And I

1379
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 1: heard Derek Carr and he seemed genuine enough. He said, listen,

1380
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 1: we had our masks on. We showed up with him. Man,

1381
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: we took him off for a few minutes. So when

1382
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 1: they introduced us so we could they could see our

1383
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: faces and stuff. Well, then you see these guys off

1384
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: on the side and they're they're walking around they and

1385
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:22,640
Speaker 1: he's auctioning off masks. So it doesn't seem exactly like

1386
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,760
Speaker 1: he said it um, and he seemed genuinely apologetic about it.

1387
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 1: But it's too late now, Yeah, it's too late, and

1388
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: I don't know how and I guess this is not

1389
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: a competitive thing. It's a it's a health issue. Uh.

1390
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: The rules are stated by the union, in the in

1391
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: the league that this is what should happen, and these

1392
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: guys did not do it, and they were caught not

1393
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: doing it, and there's not going to be any repercussions

1394
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: because the team they play for are the ones that

1395
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 1: are supposed to punish, and they've been relatively lay's affair

1396
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 1: with their actions, whether it's John Gruden wearing a mask

1397
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: like a chin strap on the sidelines on Monday Night football,

1398
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: the general manager coming down on the field afterwards and

1399
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:09,600
Speaker 1: doing the same exact thing, or having the wrong personnel

1400
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: staff in their postgame locker room who's not on the

1401
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: proper level of the tier system to be allowed in

1402
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: there in the first place. These protocols are all in

1403
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 1: place for a reason, and the Raiders just seem to

1404
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: do whatever the heck they want, at least up to

1405
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: this point. So to tell me they're doing a very

1406
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: good job just seems very inaccurate to me. We have

1407
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we come back, we

1408
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: will get to some comments from your reigning AFC Offensive

1409
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 1: Player of the Month Josh Allen, as he's going to

1410
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 1: be discussing his relationship with offensive coordinator Brian Dable and

1411
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: this new propensity to spread the field on offense with

1412
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: eleven and ten personnel. Will also hear from Stefon Diggs

1413
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,639
Speaker 1: on Brian Dabele and his progression with this offensive scheme.

1414
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 1: It's all coming up next here on One Bills Live,

1415
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio

1418
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Seneca Studios in Orchard Park, and we do want to

1419
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 1: get to some comments made by Josh Allen and Stefan

1420
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: Diggs about this high flying Bill's offense. We do have

1421
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: a feature story on the evolution of this offense on

1422
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills dot com. If you get a chance, please

1423
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: check it out. It dives in pretty deep into the numbers,

1424
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: the personnel usage, and what the general consensus is from

1425
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: experts around the country as to what this Bill's offense

1426
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: is all about now, So if you get a chance

1427
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 1: to go check it out at Buffalo bills dot com.

1428
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen has been asked several times about his

1429
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 1: relationship with Brian Dable over the course of the first

1430
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: few weeks of this season, and I think for the

1431
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: first time Josh shed some new light on why though

1432
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 1: was to get along so well together. Here's what he said.

1433
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: You have, you know, very similar mindsets, and uh, he's

1434
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: very very competitive, um as am I. You know, he's

1435
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: got some good stories of uh, you know when he

1436
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 1: was a younger guy, and um, he was chewing tobacco

1437
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: and he made a bet with some of his other

1438
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: coaches that he'd stop, and um, you know he was

1439
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna he was gonna stop at any point, but he

1440
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,599
Speaker 1: wanted to win that bet extremely bad and he stopped

1441
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: cold turkey like that. That's just the type of person

1442
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: he is. You you dare him to do something, you

1443
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: bet him to do something, He's gonna do everything in

1444
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: his power to make sure that he comes through. And

1445
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: bets on himself. So, UM, I think that's that's where

1446
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: we were very very similar, and I think that's why

1447
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: we've jailed so well. Um, you know, I appreciate what

1448
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 1: coach Tabel's done for me, and you know, the offense

1449
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: that he that he's put around us here in Buffalo,

1450
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: and the way that he calls games, the way that

1451
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: he trusts his players. Um, you know, the way that

1452
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: he can see a game on Thursday night or Monday

1453
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: night or something whatever it is, and look at that

1454
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 1: that concept and be like, you know, this would be

1455
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: pretty cools. Let's see if we can use it here.

1456
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: And he's been able to adapt and adjust and U

1457
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, find new ways we can get the ball

1458
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: to our guys outside selling, it's been been a pleasure

1459
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: to play for him. So we can readily see Josh's

1460
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: competitive fire as a player watching him on the field.

1461
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: You can't really see that in an offensive coordinator for

1462
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: obvious reasons. But with Josh explaining that Brian Dabele has

1463
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: that same exact competitive fire that he does, it really

1464
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: makes you understand all the more why these two are

1465
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 1: in lockstep together. Yeah, it is. I remember hanging around

1466
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 1: the offensive that I played with in the early nineties,

1467
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: when you know they've started it started to evolve pretty quickly.

1468
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty eight with Jim and the guy was

1469
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: Teddy Marcha Brota right. Teddy was a phenomenal I think

1470
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: the world of him. He's a Hall of Famer in

1471
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: my book for all the work that he did with

1472
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of quarterbacks over his career. His he was

1473
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: just the nicest, low key talking, I've got great, great leader,

1474
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: a very servant leader kind of guy. But also you know,

1475
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: he had this a way to motivate you when he

1476
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: spoke to you, and his competitive fire was kind of hidden,

1477
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: but he was. That's the way his mind worked. If

1478
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna we can beat him here, let's beat him here,

1479
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: Let's do this, and let's do that. Well, listen, we're

1480
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: doing this really well. Let's do more of this over.

1481
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,480
Speaker 1: You know. It was just always looking for an opportunity

1482
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: to improve you. And I get and I've rubbed up

1483
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 1: against I'd say rubbed again. I've spent some time with

1484
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball as well, and you get that that

1485
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: idea about him being a guy that wants to win

1486
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: at everything, in everything and in every way that rubs

1487
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: off on the guys that you coach and it starts

1488
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: to get them into that mindset as well. I think

1489
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: it's interesting that and that's good leadership was when you

1490
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: can get all the guys in your room to be

1491
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: in your mindset. And like Josh said, we are the

1492
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: same mindset. You know, not only we both come petitors,

1493
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 1: but you all start thinking alike and looking for new

1494
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 1: ways to be better. And that growth mindset, it's all

1495
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: sprinkled down from Sean McDermott and I say, you know,

1496
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: you start talking about, you know, the Spider Web, that

1497
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: this thing is how it touches everybody on the team

1498
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: and where how you know, Steph Diggs competing with Tredavious

1499
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: White and Josh Norman coming in as as a smack

1500
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 1: talker in the difference. You know, how the Spider webs

1501
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: reach out and elevate everybody. And to have a guy

1502
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,559
Speaker 1: like you know, Brian day Ball in that quarterback's room

1503
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: and in that offense with that kind of mindset, it

1504
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: every little bit of that stuff elevates everybody around him

1505
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: and it's you know that the results have been are

1506
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 1: obvious now, but you know, you think about where they

1507
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: were two years ago when they didn't have an offensive line,

1508
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: they didn't have anybody to throw the football too, and

1509
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: they were just kind of cultivating a you know, a

1510
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: relationship and as trying to find some way to do it.

1511
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: And now that they've got tools, and now their toolbox

1512
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 1: isn't empty, or that Josh isn't the only tool they have. Yeah,

1513
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: now it must be so refreshing for them to be

1514
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,680
Speaker 1: able to think of all kinds of stuff to do

1515
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: and to win games looking for more stuff. And he

1516
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 1: was saying Ryan Day was looking on Thursday Night football. Oh,

1517
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 1: I like that concept and how about and how about

1518
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: it being successful too, and Josh finding getting to a

1519
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 1: point where he can be successful doing it. It's a

1520
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 1: lot of fun for the It's just got to be

1521
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,599
Speaker 1: a phenomenal atmosphere it brings, you know, I can relate

1522
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: to it in the years past that I was in

1523
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: that offense and watching those guys work in that room.

1524
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: It's a it's a fun, fun atmosphere to be a

1525
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: part of. So Josh was also asked about the effectiveness

1526
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: of this offense and the spreading of the field, and

1527
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: I've crunched some of the numbers which you can also

1528
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:54,799
Speaker 1: read at Buffalo bills dot com shameless plug and ninety

1529
01:20:54,880 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 1: two percent of Buffalo's offensive plays I've been in either

1530
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: eleven or ten personnel through the first three games this season,

1531
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,839
Speaker 1: ninety two percent. So Josh was asked about the impact

1532
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: of spreading the offense out to that degree just allows

1533
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 1: us to kind of force the hand of a defense. Um,

1534
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:18,679
Speaker 1: you know, if they don't want to bring in another

1535
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: defensive back, I think we've got a guy that can

1536
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 1: can run, run after catch, guy that can block, and

1537
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis and he can do all these little things. Um,

1538
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, if if they want to or again, if

1539
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: they don't want to bring an extra dB, we're gonna throw.

1540
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: If they bring in an extra dB, we got a

1541
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: guy that can go in there and block, you know,

1542
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 1: block another dB for extra guy in the run games.

1543
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 1: So I think it just kind of forces the hand

1544
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: of a defense of what they're gonna do. Um. And

1545
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: also it's another really good playmaker out in the field.

1546
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I love our tight ends um as well.

1547
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 1: So it's it's like we're gaining that much an advantage.

1548
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: But with what Gabe can do, he's been you know,

1549
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:58,640
Speaker 1: great for us so far, and I expect him to

1550
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: only get better there. I think the NFL is moving

1551
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 1: to this kind of more spread out system and it's

1552
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 1: harder for defenses to kind of disguise things. And if

1553
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 1: they want to bring a guy from depth, and we've

1554
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: got built in reads where we throw the ball quick,

1555
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: if they want to come from death it you know,

1556
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's okay because we're gonna get out before

1557
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: they get there. And it just kind of opens up

1558
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: some passing lanes. So, um, you know, you see a

1559
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: lot of it now in the NFL, and you see

1560
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,680
Speaker 1: a lot of RPOs and read options and this and

1561
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,720
Speaker 1: that and forcing teams to kind of spread out, and

1562
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, you rvore, you attack them where they're weak. Yeah,

1563
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:37,720
Speaker 1: it's to me. You think about their place. They're in

1564
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: ten or eleven and really, I know, we had this

1565
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: conversation with dani Orlovskia a couple of weeks ago and

1566
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 1: he said, look look at the Chiefs. They're in eleven personnel,

1567
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: but really they're in big ten. Um Kelsey because of Kelsey. Um,

1568
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: it's not eleven, it's big ten because Kelsey's not there

1569
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 1: to play tight end. He's detached, he's another receiver. You're

1570
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 1: essentially playing four wide with a tight end, so you

1571
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: could call it big ten personnel, and you're using a

1572
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 1: tight end instead of a fourth receiver in Travis Kelsey.

1573
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: The Bills technically kind of do some of that too.

1574
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 1: They're an eleven personnel, But Dawson Knox more often than not,

1575
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: he's not an inline tight end who's blocking. He's detached.

1576
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: He's ready to run with So when they but that, notwithstanding,

1577
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: they're an eleven personnel if you want to count the

1578
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,679
Speaker 1: tight end as a true tight end, sixty eight point

1579
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 1: two percent of the time. They're in ten personnel with

1580
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 1: four true wide receivers twenty four percent of the time,

1581
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: which is far and away the most in the league.

1582
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: It's not yet blows. I'll tell you what. Pump the

1583
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,760
Speaker 1: brakes on that though, because I would like to see

1584
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: the numbers when Knox wasn't out of the lineup, because

1585
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I think they went more Did they go more ten

1586
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: or in this last game because Knox caught a couple

1587
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. Well I can look it up because they

1588
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: do have it. But because some of that kind to

1589
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: be game, and it might it might be true they

1590
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,719
Speaker 1: may be doing it all the time, but if Knox

1591
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: is out with if their number one tight ends out

1592
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 1: with a concussion and they got and they've got Croft

1593
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,759
Speaker 1: in there, they may have gone more ten than eleven

1594
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: than they otherwise would. Yeah, I don't know that it

1595
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: increased all that much because through the first two weeks

1596
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,679
Speaker 1: it was around twenty four percent ten personnel with Knox

1597
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 1: in the lineup, and then last week Croft basically filled

1598
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: in for Knox, and I don't think they went more

1599
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 1: ten than eleven. Eleven is still their number one personnel

1600
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: grouping as it is for most teams around the league

1601
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,639
Speaker 1: these days. I mean, it's the number one personnel formation

1602
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: for the Rams and has been for the last three years,

1603
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of people followed them and copied them

1604
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: with that, and same thing with the Chiefs. It's eleven,

1605
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 1: but it's with Kelsey, so it's not really eleven. And

1606
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 1: like I said, truth in the traditional sense, and the

1607
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: fact that you know, Knox did catch two touchdowns in

1608
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 1: this last game, So no matter what personnel Loft Croft,

1609
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,559
Speaker 1: no matter what personnel they had in there, they're they're

1610
01:24:55,600 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: still thrown to that guy. So and Gabe Davis is

1611
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: making some catches out of that ten personnel as well.

1612
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 1: So I have a hard time thinking. I think off

1613
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 1: the get a lot of teams are struggling with Gabe

1614
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: Davis because they got John Brown and Steph Digs ahead

1615
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: of him and Cole Beasley, and they're saying, well, all

1616
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: these guys are rookie, what's he gonna do? And Gabe

1617
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 1: Davis made him pay well. And that's the problem we've

1618
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: talked about here for a couple of weeks now, Steve,

1619
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: the reason the Bills are going to ten personnel is

1620
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: because they get the matchups they want because they're four

1621
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers top to bottom. I think they got a

1622
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 1: lot of faith in Davis. Are better than just about

1623
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 1: every other team in the league's fourth corner. They're winning

1624
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,959
Speaker 1: on the third and fourth guys because most teams cornerback

1625
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 1: contingents aren't that talented with their third and fourth guy.

1626
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: They can play in the league, but they're not shutting

1627
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 1: people down. Think about this too, if if they if

1628
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: teams start to flip that over on him, and the

1629
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: teams are growing four wide, well you know it kind

1630
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: of feels good to me. You got Taryn John in

1631
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 1: the slot, but you also have Josh Norman and Levi

1632
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 1: Wallace behind Tredavious White. Are four Yeah, when everybody's healthy. Yeah,

1633
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 1: when everybody's healthy, are four corners. I feel pretty good

1634
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 1: about that. Pretty good. I feel pretty good about them.

1635
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 1: Now they're not our team's not going to old latch

1636
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,720
Speaker 1: up and go, you know, cover zero all day. Well, no,

1637
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: but those four corners, I feel pretty good about it.

1638
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 1: Played more man last week, yeah, than they usually do.

1639
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: I think they play more man than people think. Traditionally,

1640
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: the you know, the Bills play a lot of three deep,

1641
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: they play a lot of quarters. Um, they're playing a

1642
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: little more man now. They're mixing it up, and I

1643
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: think with good reason, because I think they know there's

1644
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: this long three year history of them being this, and

1645
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to diversify it ever so slightly

1646
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: just to keep people guessing. Right, all right, we have

1647
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we return, we'll try

1648
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:54,759
Speaker 1: to get to some more sound. Including that from Stefan Diggs.

1649
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: I was going to call them defon Stiggs. That doesn't work.

1650
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:01,679
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs, who my fantasy team name, yeah, who also

1651
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 1: had some good things to say about Brian Dable in

1652
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 1: the progression of the offense and also why he was

1653
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: so happy and was all up in Tyler Croft's kitchen.

1654
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: He was the first one on the scene for each

1655
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:15,760
Speaker 1: of his touchdowns. He explains that relationship. Next, you're on

1656
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo

1657
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

1658
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:38,600
Speaker 1: motoring through the second hour of the program, and we

1659
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: do want to get to a couple of more comments,

1660
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 1: chiefly from that of one Stefan Diggs, who was asked

1661
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,560
Speaker 1: about Brian Dable's offense and while this is only his

1662
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 1: first year in this scheme, he is encouraged by what

1663
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: he thinks what he sees from this offensive scheme, and

1664
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 1: he also knows that it requires a lot of due

1665
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: diligence on part of the players. Here's what he said. No,

1666
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 1: I didn't to too much of coaching or anything like that,

1667
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 1: but I've had a series of coaches that OC's head coaches,

1668
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: all types of coaches, position coaches. I've had some great guys,

1669
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 1: and he's definitely at the top of the this when

1670
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,680
Speaker 1: it comes to having a creative mind, and you know,

1671
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 1: not necessarily just being a players coach, but understanding the

1672
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 1: game and understanding what works. I have a great time

1673
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 1: out there working with him. He let guys pay to

1674
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: their strength and that guys just beat him. So my

1675
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: level of appreciating that respect for him is that the

1676
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 1: is that the you know, at the highest amount, and

1677
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 1: he's definitely up there. I'm not an expert in picking coaches,

1678
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: but I love him and that I wasn't here last year.

1679
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't have too much to compare it to, but

1680
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: I can say from the guy's feedback and what they've

1681
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: been saying, I guess it's been like, uh, you know,

1682
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: kind of like a work through a type of thing,

1683
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys around him, and all the

1684
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: tribute also goes to the players, a lot of guys

1685
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 1: getting better year in and year out. I wasn't here

1686
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 1: with Joss last year, but you know, I've obviously seen him,

1687
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, these past couple of weeks, take take steps.

1688
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:01,760
Speaker 1: I guess everybody else seeing at the same time too.

1689
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: For me, this is my first time, so this is

1690
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: all I know him to be is pretty good. So, uh,

1691
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like you know, when you when

1692
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: you're playing as a team, you're playing fast you're playing together,

1693
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 1: good things happen. And speaking of players like that last year,

1694
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 1: so I just played with him this year, so this

1695
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 1: is all I see. So he's pretty good. Yeah, I

1696
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: think it's only the AFC Offensive Player of the Month.

1697
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,639
Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoyed that, Steve. That's great speaking, that's

1698
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:26,599
Speaker 1: great because we all see. Yeah, I haven't see him.

1699
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 1: I've never played with him before, so these first three weeks, Yeah,

1700
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. So speaking of you know, being good

1701
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: teammates to one another. On both of Tyler Croft's touchdowns

1702
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: this past week and the win over the Rams, Stefan

1703
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 1: Diggs was one of the first players on the scene

1704
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 1: to celebrate with him when he made those two touchdown catches.

1705
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 1: And so Stefan was kind of asked about that because

1706
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: we are still kind of learning what kind of players

1707
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,800
Speaker 1: Stefen is and what kind of teammates Stefan is, so

1708
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: seeing that it prompted the question. So here was Stefan's

1709
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: answer to, uh, Tyler Croft and him being eager to

1710
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: celebrate with his teammate in the end zone. I was

1711
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 1: more so excited for him because when I got here,

1712
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:10,600
Speaker 1: I kind of got uh. I didn't really get his

1713
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:12,960
Speaker 1: whole story. But you know, I heard heard he had

1714
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 1: battles from injuries and and he had went through his

1715
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 1: little it went through a little couple of troubles or whatever,

1716
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 1: and um, to see him out there playing at a

1717
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 1: high level and next sailing and being happy and having

1718
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:24,680
Speaker 1: fun again, I didn't know the whole story, but I

1719
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: just saw him. I just saw him really happy in

1720
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,920
Speaker 1: those moments. And I kind of saw like we got

1721
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:31,559
Speaker 1: a team whereas a lot we got a lot of fighters.

1722
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 1: We got guys that they don't give up. And um,

1723
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 1: I don't like talking about calls or whatever, but the

1724
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:38,200
Speaker 1: interception had happened, and I saw him in his eye,

1725
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 1: and I could see it in his eye that he

1726
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 1: was gonna make a play, you know, and the next

1727
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:42,960
Speaker 1: war that came asway, he was gonna make a play,

1728
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 1: and the next play he did his next opportunity from

1729
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 1: what I remember at least, Yeah, he's talking about, you know,

1730
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:52,280
Speaker 1: the call that obviously went against Croft, which he clearly

1731
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: made a catch and everybody was up in arms about

1732
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 1: and deservedly so it was unfairly ruled and interception. But

1733
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 1: he came back and basically turned in a couple of

1734
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns and said, how about them apples? But each of

1735
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns, the one that our MSG viewers are

1736
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 1: looking at along with the game winners, Stefan Diggs is

1737
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,280
Speaker 1: the first guy all up in his kitchen celebrating with him. Right, Um,

1738
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:18,599
Speaker 1: it's it's cool. It's just cool, very cool, and it's

1739
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:21,639
Speaker 1: I did it once in my career. It was difficult.

1740
01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 1: It was a hard adjustment for me to come to

1741
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: a new team. I did it mid season, so I

1742
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:28,680
Speaker 1: didn't really have a chance to do it. And I

1743
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 1: knew that. A couple of times during my career we

1744
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 1: had new guys come to our team and I kind

1745
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,560
Speaker 1: of tried to and I, you know, I did my

1746
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: best to go out of my way to make sure

1747
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:39,720
Speaker 1: those guys knew that, you know, I was for them,

1748
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to help him out. So he

1749
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: comes in and you get to know these guys, and

1750
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 1: you know, Steph Diggs has had some success in this

1751
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:51,600
Speaker 1: career and and in this league, and it's good to

1752
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 1: see other guys have success like that. When it's it's awesome, man,

1753
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, kudos to him, and of course

1754
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:03,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft for persevering through what had to be a

1755
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:06,840
Speaker 1: tortuous year last year, and he's finally ready to come

1756
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:09,679
Speaker 1: back from that broken foot. He got the first day

1757
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:14,880
Speaker 1: of OTA's new team, first practice breaks his foot, which

1758
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 1: is his history of injuries, right, so it's just like,

1759
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 1: oh man, series another foot. So then he comes back,

1760
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 1: comes all the way back through mini camp, training camp,

1761
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 1: he's working his way back. He gets on the practice field,

1762
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 1: it's week three, he's going to play against his former team,

1763
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 1: the Bengals. The Thursday before the game, he has a

1764
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 1: high ankle spring and it's just like, seriously, like I

1765
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:44,479
Speaker 1: can't even imagine what he was thinking at that point

1766
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 1: in time. And then he missed another four or five

1767
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: weeks before he came back, and you know, you think

1768
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 1: about his contributions. He had the game winning touchdown in

1769
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game, you know, Renegade and all that thing,

1770
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 1: and then two big touchdowns here, including the game winner

1771
01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 1: with fifteen seconds left. So his contributions have been few

1772
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:02,640
Speaker 1: and far between, doing doing main part to injury. But

1773
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 1: when he's had the chance to perform, he's performed, so

1774
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:07,240
Speaker 1: so good on him for that. All right, we have

1775
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:09,719
Speaker 1: to take a break, but our number three will begin

1776
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,680
Speaker 1: with one Brad Ganio from Bleacher Report. He had an

1777
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:17,639
Speaker 1: interesting piece on the bills in a column about true

1778
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 1: contenders and pretenders. Where did he have the bills and

1779
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 1: that we'll talk to him about that next Here on

1780
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 1: one Bill's Line, presented by Kalid to Health. This is

1781
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has spent

1782
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 1: all all over our fields. Kind of unique. He was

1783
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:51,799
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve

1784
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 1: a blimp. We're not even in the strategy fere of

1785
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:01,599
Speaker 1: normalcy our number three if one bills live Chris Brown,

1786
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you and joining us on the line

1787
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 1: right now from the Bleacher Report is NFL writer Brad Ganio,

1788
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 1: who had some interesting stuff in terms of listing some

1789
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 1: contenders and pretenders, and he's got some stuff on Josh

1790
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:18,280
Speaker 1: Allen as well. We want to get all of that

1791
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:20,760
Speaker 1: in with him now. So Brad, welcome to the show.

1792
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 1: Glad to have you with us, Thanks for making some

1793
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:26,840
Speaker 1: time for us, Thanks for having me. So go ahead, Steve.

1794
01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: We saw the article you had, went down the list,

1795
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,560
Speaker 1: and of course there's contenders like Kansas City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh,

1796
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 1: the usual suspects, the Patriots everybody, and the ones who

1797
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 1: aren't continually in the playoffs fall into some middle case.

1798
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 1: Then there's always the teams at the other end, the

1799
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:47,720
Speaker 1: Cincinnatis and Detroits and teams like that, and then the

1800
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 1: Jets and the Giants this year who are not going

1801
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 1: to be and everybody else is kind of in the

1802
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:55,560
Speaker 1: middle there. This week you picked the Bills over the Raiders,

1803
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: and you had the Bills ask contenders in your article

1804
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:01,160
Speaker 1: and the Raiders as pre anders. Why are the Raiders

1805
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 1: not among that group that you think has a shot

1806
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: or why do you think that they're a little bit

1807
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:09,519
Speaker 1: less than what their record says they are. I think

1808
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 1: they just they might have a little bit more to

1809
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,599
Speaker 1: prove than than the Bills. The Bills are hitting deep plays,

1810
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 1: They're hitting splashed plays. I think that's an important part

1811
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:20,720
Speaker 1: of being successful in this league. I don't know if

1812
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 1: I fully trust Derek Carr's arm compared to Josh Allen's

1813
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 1: arm at this point in time, or even compared to

1814
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:30,440
Speaker 1: an average NFL arm in terms of getting those downfield

1815
01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:33,040
Speaker 1: plays and moving the ball. Also, of course, you know

1816
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo defensively is is in a different league than the

1817
01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:38,920
Speaker 1: Oakland There it goes first time I've done that this season.

1818
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:42,960
Speaker 1: The Las Vegas too defensively obviously, you know it starts

1819
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 1: with Trey White, but you know, Buffalo at all three levels,

1820
01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:47,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent, and as much as the

1821
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:50,400
Speaker 1: Raiders do have a lot of young talent that they

1822
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of hope for in that defense, it's

1823
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:56,599
Speaker 1: just it's it's not at the same it's not established

1824
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 1: in the same extent. They're still very vulnerable in the

1825
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 1: back end, and they're more injured as well. They've taken

1826
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: a few hits on top of all that. So yeah,

1827
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:08,679
Speaker 1: I don't trust the Raiders yet. And it was hard

1828
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:10,519
Speaker 1: for the Bills to earn my trust. It was hard

1829
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen to earn it, and I'm sure a

1830
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of folks in Western New York

1831
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 1: feel the same way based on a couple of decades

1832
01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 1: of not being overly trustworthy. But the Bills have gotten

1833
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:24,280
Speaker 1: there through first of all, the play of Josh Allen

1834
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,680
Speaker 1: in particular, but also just the very fact that he's

1835
01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:29,680
Speaker 1: got the support that he has on both sides of

1836
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:32,000
Speaker 1: the ball. And speaking of Josh, you know, I know

1837
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:34,560
Speaker 1: much was made of his lack of deep ball accuracy

1838
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 1: in previous years. I think it was about twenty five

1839
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: percent completion percentage on throws of over twenty yards just

1840
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:43,679
Speaker 1: last year alone, and he has completely turned that statistic

1841
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 1: on its head. Why don't you just kind of share

1842
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,439
Speaker 1: with us some of what has convinced you with his

1843
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: deep ball accuracy into being a believer. I guess more

1844
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:56,840
Speaker 1: than anything else, we know it's funny he was passing

1845
01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 1: the eyeball test in terms of that. You know that

1846
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 1: deep ball accuracy, in that deep ball success. The first

1847
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:04,320
Speaker 1: three weeks of the season, I hadn't looked up, I

1848
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:07,400
Speaker 1: hadn't gone to online and really dug deep into the

1849
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 1: advanced statistics to see exactly if the numbers were jibing

1850
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: with that, And then I did that after three weeks.

1851
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:16,800
Speaker 1: I did that on Monday morning, and it was astonishing.

1852
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: Sixteen and twenty one fifty two point one passer rating,

1853
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 1: the number one passer rating in all football, and passes

1854
01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:28,400
Speaker 1: to travel these fifteen yards. Now you alluded the plush

1855
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 1: yards Statuh, don't have that number offhand. I'm sure it's

1856
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 1: not far off it. Usually there's a correlation obviously between

1857
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty yards. You see the forty yards that are

1858
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 1: obviously a smaller sample, and so that was encouraging to

1859
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:40,600
Speaker 1: begin with. Beyond that, you want to look at a

1860
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 1: quarterbacks clutch rights. That's not the other sort of tough

1861
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:46,639
Speaker 1: to measure factor and something that we saw from Josh

1862
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 1: Allen the first two years to an extent, and we've

1863
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 1: continued to see as well into year three, which is

1864
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:54,800
Speaker 1: another another indication that that wasn't necessarily an aberration within

1865
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:58,639
Speaker 1: a small sample. Fourteen for nineteen in the fourth quarter

1866
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:00,640
Speaker 1: of one score game, so he's with, you know, if

1867
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 1: they're down by as money as eight points or up

1868
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 1: by as money as eight points, and in most cases

1869
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 1: this year it's been they've been trying to hold on

1870
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:09,799
Speaker 1: to a lead. He's only had five incompletions on nineteen attempts,

1871
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:16,760
Speaker 1: one fifty two point or pass rating under those circumstances.

1872
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: It's just three weeks, but incredibly, incredibly encouraging in terms

1873
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 1: of his ability to do two of the most important

1874
01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:24,240
Speaker 1: things a quarterback can do, which is stretched the field

1875
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 1: with success without risking losing the ball, which he hasn't

1876
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 1: done um and uh, you know, carrying his team in

1877
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in close games and being able to

1878
01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:34,760
Speaker 1: make those throws when they're trying to protect the lead,

1879
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: which they barely did or they didn't for a while

1880
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 1: against the rams Um, and then make those throws when

1881
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 1: they need to come back, which essentially it became as

1882
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:47,360
Speaker 1: a reversal of rolls after Los Angeles came back on

1883
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:51,519
Speaker 1: them Sunday, and then with taking that a step further

1884
01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:57,640
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. Obviously, the trade was a headliner across the

1885
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 1: league when it happened back in March, and people made

1886
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: all the prognostications and predictions as to what he might

1887
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:07,360
Speaker 1: bring to this passing attack. He's not only raised the

1888
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:10,000
Speaker 1: level of Josh Allen's game, he has probably raised the

1889
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 1: level of the receivers around him as well. And the

1890
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: Bills are convinced of that because they're either going ten

1891
01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:18,560
Speaker 1: or eleven personnel on the field ninety two percent of

1892
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: the plays that they've called on offense through the first

1893
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:25,719
Speaker 1: three weeks. We are seeing a completely different receiving corps

1894
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:29,880
Speaker 1: that is being utilized in spread formations with a higher

1895
01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:33,920
Speaker 1: percentage than we've ever seen before. Under Brian Dable. Well,

1896
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:37,400
Speaker 1: it's really amazing what an elite number one receiver can

1897
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:40,599
Speaker 1: do to an offense. And you know, with all due

1898
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 1: respect to John Brown, who's a great deep threat and

1899
01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:47,240
Speaker 1: a very good quality starting NFL receiver, he really isn't

1900
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, on that that same level as a Stefan Diggs.

1901
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:53,479
Speaker 1: And and you look what's happened to the Arizona Cardinals

1902
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins being added to their offense. You look

1903
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 1: what's happened to the Buffalo Bills with Stefon Diggs being

1904
01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 1: the new number one target for joh Shallon. Um, it's

1905
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 1: not a coincidence those teams have taken off where is

1906
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:09,480
Speaker 1: the team lost their number one receivers? Um in Minnesota

1907
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:12,639
Speaker 1: and Houston are meeting this week with combined owen six records,

1908
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,280
Speaker 1: So um, you know, it's not all about that, but

1909
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:17,640
Speaker 1: it certainly is interesting to see these two teams in

1910
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 1: particular flourish after stealing number one receivers, stealing, trading for

1911
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: trading a big price. In Buffalo's case, the first round

1912
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:25,320
Speaker 1: pick there was used on jeff Justin Jefferson, who by

1913
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:27,519
Speaker 1: the way, has been very good for Minnesota. So it's

1914
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:31,840
Speaker 1: not as simple as um as necessarily just look at

1915
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 1: this three game sample, but there's no doubt that having him.

1916
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: Um as that you know that a route runner in

1917
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:42,719
Speaker 1: particular UM leading the way in that offense, UM makes

1918
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 1: things easier on first of all Alan, but also everybody else,

1919
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:49,760
Speaker 1: also Cole Beasley, you know who has that ability in

1920
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 1: the in the slot to get open. And also the

1921
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 1: running game, which is experienced some success as well. Of course,

1922
01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: so um the presence is a game changer. And that

1923
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:00,519
Speaker 1: was the two things that the bill had to have

1924
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:02,519
Speaker 1: happened this year to finally turn that corner to win

1925
01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 1: that first playoff game. Potentially it is Josh Allen has

1926
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 1: to take that next step and Stephan Diggs has to

1927
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 1: become that number one guy. Those two things are probably

1928
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:14,840
Speaker 1: correlated from the beginning, and sure enough three weeks and

1929
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 1: both both have gone in the direction that I think

1930
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking with Brad Gan. You know, I got one

1931
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 1: thing I want to know about your thoughts on the

1932
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:27,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee Pittsburgh game being postponed and the ripple effects and

1933
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:30,640
Speaker 1: how likely it is we've been talking about maybe the

1934
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 1: league will just stockpile these games. If there's another game

1935
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 1: that needs to be skipped or whatever, they can just

1936
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:38,840
Speaker 1: throw them onto the back, create a Week eighteen schedule

1937
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:41,760
Speaker 1: and just play all of these games that are missed

1938
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 1: because one team is stricken with the virus, play them

1939
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:46,840
Speaker 1: all in the eighteenth week, and then go from there

1940
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:48,639
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. What are your thoughts about the ripple

1941
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:53,000
Speaker 1: effects of what happened to the Tennessee Titans in Minnesota. Well,

1942
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:54,639
Speaker 1: I mean that's a really good point. I mean, that's

1943
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:57,160
Speaker 1: where that's where you get. Eventually, the NFL got acts

1944
01:41:57,200 --> 01:41:59,600
Speaker 1: pretty lucky here and that Baltimore and Pittsburgh share a

1945
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:03,519
Speaker 1: buy and that's one week prior to Tennessee is by.

1946
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: So it looks like all they need to do is

1947
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 1: shift Baltimore just by a week back and Pittsburgh and

1948
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee can play in week seven. I believe it is.

1949
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 1: So that's a break. I mean, you think about what

1950
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,160
Speaker 1: could happen in these other scenarios if all of a sudden,

1951
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:19,080
Speaker 1: there's not a perfect little only one team moves, one

1952
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:21,920
Speaker 1: game being moved could result in like four or five

1953
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,559
Speaker 1: or six games having to be moved by the schedule makers.

1954
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:26,920
Speaker 1: And so if you get into a situation where four

1955
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 1: or five games have to be moved moved at some point,

1956
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:31,679
Speaker 1: then yeah, maybe you're looking at a week eighteen scenario.

1957
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 1: The only question is what if we get into a

1958
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: situation where one team has hit several weeks in a

1959
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:37,400
Speaker 1: row and then all of a sudden, you're not you know,

1960
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 1: they can only play one game in one week, and

1961
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 1: you've got to figure out if the team's gonna have

1962
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,400
Speaker 1: to play fourteen games this year or fifteen games, and

1963
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: ideally it won't impact the playoff race or contention, or

1964
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:49,519
Speaker 1: move the Super Bowl back too far or shorten the playoffs.

1965
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 1: But those are all scenarios that are unfortunately on the

1966
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 1: table right now, and we just have to hope. And

1967
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 1: this is incredible right as far as we can tell,

1968
01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:59,560
Speaker 1: was one employee that had it on the weekend and

1969
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:03,680
Speaker 1: now it's it's shifted a schedule, all right, So all

1970
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:05,519
Speaker 1: is all it will take is a few more these

1971
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:09,879
Speaker 1: types of incidents and we might have a threatened seasons.

1972
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:12,080
Speaker 1: So that's a concern we have to consider right now.

1973
01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:15,200
Speaker 1: And it's going to take a lot of diligence from

1974
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 1: all these players and all these staff members and these huge,

1975
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:21,839
Speaker 1: huge organizations. As you guys know. Talking to Brad Ganiel,

1976
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,680
Speaker 1: NFL writer for Bleacher Report, and the last one I've

1977
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: got for you, Brad, is because it's hard to ignore

1978
01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:29,600
Speaker 1: the Bears. I think are a surprising three and o

1979
01:43:29,720 --> 01:43:31,559
Speaker 1: football team. And I know you said never rule out

1980
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:34,000
Speaker 1: nick foles magic and one of your recent writeups, and

1981
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 1: Nick Foles provided some magic this past week to lift

1982
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 1: them to the three and oh mark they're currently enjoying.

1983
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:41,719
Speaker 1: And it looks like he's the starter for the foreseeable future.

1984
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: But how realistic is this Bear's success in terms of

1985
01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 1: it being sustainable. Bears fans don't like me because I

1986
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 1: haven't seen the sustainability there. It just it doesn't feel

1987
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 1: sustainable at all. It didn't feel like this was a

1988
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:01,800
Speaker 1: team that was in to be very successful this year.

1989
01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:03,600
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, they spent so much money on

1990
01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack and they were bleeding elsewhere, and they hadn't

1991
01:44:06,439 --> 01:44:09,360
Speaker 1: invested properly in the quarterback position. They invested, I guess,

1992
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 1: but the investments hadn't paid off. And you know, Nick

1993
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,719
Speaker 1: Foles has had some moments. He's got the fourth highest

1994
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:17,679
Speaker 1: single season passer rating in NFL history from twenty thirteen.

1995
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: He's got a Super Bowl MVP on his record, He's

1996
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 1: got several playoff wins on his record. He's also never

1997
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,840
Speaker 1: started twelve games in the season. He hasn't had much

1998
01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:28,720
Speaker 1: or any success really outside of Philadelphia. At least he

1999
01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:32,800
Speaker 1: has the same, you know, a similar system now that

2000
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:36,599
Speaker 1: he didn't Philly. But it's hard to imagine this holding up,

2001
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:39,800
Speaker 1: and he hasn't held up physically or consistently in terms

2002
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:41,760
Speaker 1: of his effectiveness over the course of what is now

2003
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:44,799
Speaker 1: a nine year career. So I don't think he's saving

2004
01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:46,519
Speaker 1: the Bears. I don't think they have the depth on

2005
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:48,719
Speaker 1: either side of the ball to compete in the top division.

2006
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 1: And ultimately I think the Packers are running away with

2007
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 1: that because they still get a wild card spot seven

2008
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,160
Speaker 1: playoff teams this season. They're three and o already. Absolutely,

2009
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 1: but I'm not ready to call the Bears a Super

2010
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:01,000
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. Just say had that's for sure. Brad, Thanks

2011
01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 1: for coming on with us. We appreciate we know you've

2012
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:04,760
Speaker 1: got a tight schedule, and we'll look forward to having

2013
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 1: on the show to future date. Thanks for having me, guys,

2014
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 1: you bet, Brad all right, Brad Daniel from Bleacher Report

2015
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 1: joining us there, and we do want to get back

2016
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 1: to your thoughts and comments with respect to you know,

2017
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with with the Titans and the Steelers,

2018
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 1: and what we could potentially be dealing with if some

2019
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:28,639
Speaker 1: Raiders end up turning a positive after their irresponsible actions

2020
01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:30,840
Speaker 1: on Monday night going to an indoor event with more

2021
01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:33,640
Speaker 1: than a hundred people and not wearing masks. So we

2022
01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:35,320
Speaker 1: will go back to the phones because we do have

2023
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 1: some people waiting patiently there as we're also asking you

2024
01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:41,000
Speaker 1: on the Tweetchee, what level of confidence you have that

2025
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 1: all thirty two NFL clubs will play all sixteen of

2026
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 1: their regular season games this year? And we go to

2027
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:50,840
Speaker 1: Mary and Boston, who has been waiting patiently. Mary, thanks

2028
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 1: for joining us. What do you have for us? Thanks? Chris.

2029
01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 1: Earlier you mentioned about the win percentage for games that

2030
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:03,600
Speaker 1: may not be able to be rescheduled. Yeah, that's just

2031
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:09,439
Speaker 1: like a fear I have, frash. I think that if

2032
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: a team has blatant disregard for COVID precautions, such as

2033
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:17,599
Speaker 1: the Raiders players just did, that if a game has

2034
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:21,679
Speaker 1: to be forfeited I mean cancels, excuse me, and cannot

2035
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:25,560
Speaker 1: be rescheduled, then it should be considered forfeited that the

2036
01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 1: team like through no falls of the bills. Hypothetically the

2037
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 1: game was canceled the bill should be able to count

2038
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 1: it as a win, and the Raiders should count it

2039
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,719
Speaker 1: as a loss. That would wake up so many players

2040
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: and teams around the league, and I bet you you'd

2041
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: see a huge change in behavior. Yeah, that's true. But

2042
01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:50,320
Speaker 1: even so, even that's not fair to a team that's

2043
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:54,879
Speaker 1: in a competition. Say, for instance, if if the Tennessee

2044
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 1: Titans had had to forfeit their game this weekend with

2045
01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Steeters get a win, that's not

2046
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:04,719
Speaker 1: fair to a team like Buffalo who's trying to compete

2047
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:08,280
Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh for a wild card spot or for a

2048
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, for a playoff spot. So the team that

2049
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:14,599
Speaker 1: gets the free win, yeah they get. The other team

2050
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:16,600
Speaker 1: gets penalized, but so do all the other teams that

2051
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:18,640
Speaker 1: are in direct competition with the team that gets an

2052
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:20,880
Speaker 1: easy win. Yeah, that's a good point. That's a problem

2053
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:24,599
Speaker 1: as well. Sorry, Mary, didn't mean to cut you off there,

2054
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:28,400
Speaker 1: but I do thank you for the comment. And Steve,

2055
01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:30,160
Speaker 1: you bring up a good point. It's a valid point

2056
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:33,280
Speaker 1: because that's the ripple effects that we're talking about here,

2057
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:36,759
Speaker 1: the very ripple effects that we're talking about. You can say, well,

2058
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:39,680
Speaker 1: you take care of the team that's been inconvenience by

2059
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:43,280
Speaker 1: giving them a forfeit your win. But there's other teams

2060
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 1: in the league. They're like, whoa hold on a second

2061
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,639
Speaker 1: about it. We gotta fight for three and a half

2062
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:48,719
Speaker 1: hours to get our victory. You just got one handed

2063
01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 1: to you. What the heck is that? So San Francisco

2064
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 1: has an outbreak, they have to forfeit a game to

2065
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:58,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots, right, so, and the Bills got to play

2066
01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:01,760
Speaker 1: out How do people gonna feel them? Buffalo Bills got

2067
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:03,920
Speaker 1: to play the Niners right when they're at full strength

2068
01:48:04,040 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 1: or you know, in a month when they get there,

2069
01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots twice, and we got to pay the

2070
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 1: play the Patriots twice. So that's you know, that's what

2071
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Yeah, the Niners get penalized for that

2072
01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 1: game because they did something stupid and one of their

2073
01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: guys whatever at like the Raiders did and they didn't

2074
01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 1: get away with it. But and then you make the

2075
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:23,519
Speaker 1: Bills pay for it. That's that's the problem with that.

2076
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 1: I get you, I get it. Uh, it does hurt

2077
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 1: the team badly that flouted the rules, but it also

2078
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:35,439
Speaker 1: hurts everybody else who's in conjection with the team that

2079
01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: gets the benefit from that. Let's go back to the phones.

2080
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: We go to Jason in Buffalo. Jason, thanks for joining us.

2081
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:43,320
Speaker 1: What do you have? Hey, thanks guys. I just want

2082
01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:44,960
Speaker 1: to say how great to show you guys put on

2083
01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 1: every week. You know, I listened to you guys every Sunday.

2084
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you, and Tasker, you're a comments

2085
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:54,720
Speaker 1: this weekend where especially awesome. Thanks um checks in the

2086
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 1: mail Jason, Yeah, which one? Yeah, but yeah. I did

2087
01:48:58,080 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 1: just want to mention a little bit about the numbers

2088
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 1: because I'm a numbers guy, and you know, numbers can

2089
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: be predictive because I wager a few dollars each week

2090
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:08,280
Speaker 1: on a couple of different games, but they're not exactly predictive.

2091
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:12,440
Speaker 1: Like what I saw as that first sac by aj Ecanessen.

2092
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:17,200
Speaker 1: That really set kind of a tone because I feel

2093
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:19,040
Speaker 1: like there was a lot of emotion in that particular

2094
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:22,599
Speaker 1: sack which could have led to the sack after it, which,

2095
01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:25,439
Speaker 1: like I said, like like you were talking about ripple effects,

2096
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 1: ripple effects in the game, right, I feel like it

2097
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:32,720
Speaker 1: set it up pretty nice. And I was going to

2098
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,040
Speaker 1: talk about Tiffon Diggs. He's a great addition, great attitude

2099
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 1: to the whole culture that Sean McDermott is trying to

2100
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:42,120
Speaker 1: build up, and I just wanted to, you know, ask

2101
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 1: what you guys think about that interception, like what kind

2102
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,759
Speaker 1: of precedent it sets for contested catches in the future,

2103
01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:53,439
Speaker 1: because I mean, you know, we've are maybe finally kind

2104
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: of starting to get a little bit of respect from

2105
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:59,240
Speaker 1: the national media, and I think kind of respect and

2106
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 1: good efficiating might go kind of hand in hand. So

2107
01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know what you guys think. Oh,

2108
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:06,599
Speaker 1: you're hoping that follows up. That might be visual thinking,

2109
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 1: But thanks for the call, James. A view process is

2110
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 1: flawed at the in its current state, yeah, and so,

2111
01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:19,759
Speaker 1: and it's flawed. Yeah, it's flawed. Well, it's flawed because

2112
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:23,479
Speaker 1: it rules out, as we said on Monday, Steve, the

2113
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,599
Speaker 1: whole point of common sense, Like if you look at

2114
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,360
Speaker 1: that play, even though it has ruled an interception on

2115
01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:35,280
Speaker 1: the field, to not at least entertain the thought that

2116
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: the outcome of the play was something else because you

2117
01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 1: are strictly forced to adhere to what the call on

2118
01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:47,000
Speaker 1: the field was, even though it is patently wrong. That's

2119
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:49,600
Speaker 1: a process that is broken. I don't know, it's a

2120
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:54,719
Speaker 1: review process. That's broken. It's very yes, exactly, so yeah,

2121
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:57,599
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to beat a dead horse.

2122
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 1: Which if they blew that call, they blew the review.

2123
01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:03,519
Speaker 1: It's a travesty and it's a Joe. So I'll just say, Jason,

2124
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:06,680
Speaker 1: it is very wishful thinking to believe that because the

2125
01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 1: Bills look like true AFC contenders this year and are

2126
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 1: getting more nationwide respect, that they'll get better officiating as

2127
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:17,479
Speaker 1: a result. As much as I wish that was the case, Jason,

2128
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 1: my level of confidence that it is is about zero

2129
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 1: point one percent. That's where I'm at. Minds zero point zero, right,

2130
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 1: who zero point zero incomplete in all courses. That's right.

2131
01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:37,400
Speaker 1: That's from a movie, right, I can't remember. Oh, it's

2132
01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 1: a it's a animal house. Thank you. I knew that

2133
01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:42,560
Speaker 1: I was channeling that from somewhere. It's no way to

2134
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:45,920
Speaker 1: go through life. Zero point zero. Yeah, all right, eight

2135
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:49,600
Speaker 1: oh three fifty five fifty two, five fifty to join us,

2136
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:52,559
Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe and Tonawanda. Joe, thanks for joining us.

2137
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:57,559
Speaker 1: What do you have, sir h Basically you've got ten

2138
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 1: or twelve players at all, not all Las Vegas. Step

2139
01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:04,479
Speaker 1: didn't follow the world. It says in the first time.

2140
01:52:05,200 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 1: But you don't, you don't want to talk for the game,

2141
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:13,000
Speaker 1: Like the one person said, for obvious reasons, why should

2142
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:15,400
Speaker 1: they be allowed to play. They should be in quarantine.

2143
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 1: They are in quarantine for ten days. That could solve

2144
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:21,519
Speaker 1: the problem, right, You would like to think that the

2145
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:23,599
Speaker 1: problem is they were all at practice with the rest

2146
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:26,920
Speaker 1: of the roster on Wednesday because they didn't have symptoms

2147
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: and they didn't turn up positive in the daily testing.

2148
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 1: So they go to practice yesterday, and presumably they're going

2149
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: to practice today provided there were no positives from yesterday's testing,

2150
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:43,599
Speaker 1: and by the time that maybe they do turn up positive,

2151
01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 1: which maybe tomorrow morning, because that'll be the full two

2152
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,200
Speaker 1: day incubation period from Monday night based on today's testing,

2153
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:53,639
Speaker 1: which they'll get back tomorrow. Well, then you say, oh,

2154
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:57,680
Speaker 1: well we've got positive tests. Oh crap. They've practiced with

2155
01:52:57,760 --> 01:52:59,599
Speaker 1: the rest of the roster for the last two days.

2156
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:02,560
Speaker 1: They have probably exposed all of them as well, and

2157
01:53:02,680 --> 01:53:05,240
Speaker 1: then you have a situation where you may not even

2158
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:09,720
Speaker 1: have enough players to play. That's the problem. And yeah,

2159
01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:12,800
Speaker 1: the problem is this nobody knew about this until it

2160
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:16,240
Speaker 1: was too late after the fact, where these guys were

2161
01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:18,559
Speaker 1: actually already on the practice field, practicing with the rest

2162
01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 1: of their team, and like nothing was happening. Now they

2163
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 1: get tested every day, no question, but still they're in

2164
01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:29,840
Speaker 1: a situation where they were all it was too when

2165
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 1: this information came, at least from my mind, and when

2166
01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:34,640
Speaker 1: this information came out, it was too late to do

2167
01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:37,240
Speaker 1: anything about it. They had already been at work. So

2168
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, now they got to hope that they're testing

2169
01:53:41,120 --> 01:53:45,200
Speaker 1: procedures are accurate and timely enough to keep this from

2170
01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:49,439
Speaker 1: spreading outside off if indeed there is anything to spread,

2171
01:53:49,520 --> 01:53:52,760
Speaker 1: which nobody's tested positive yet to our knowledge, so and

2172
01:53:52,880 --> 01:53:55,479
Speaker 1: hopefully they're not, so we can play this game on Sunday.

2173
01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:58,400
Speaker 1: An issue. I'll say it again. It's the craziest thing

2174
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:00,439
Speaker 1: ever that the Tennessee Titans went on the road trip,

2175
01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 1: did a road trip like everybody always has allowed everything

2176
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:05,479
Speaker 1: followed everything, did all the protocols, everything. They come back

2177
01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 1: and they got seven guys that tested positive, and then

2178
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 1: an eighth on Wednesday, and now another one today. They've

2179
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:14,799
Speaker 1: done everything right and they got nicked with the virus.

2180
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:17,439
Speaker 1: It looks like, at least in this early stage, the

2181
01:54:17,960 --> 01:54:21,960
Speaker 1: Raiders they like caution to the wind. Yeah, they just

2182
01:54:22,040 --> 01:54:24,040
Speaker 1: went out, didn't They did anything they wanted, They don't,

2183
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:26,400
Speaker 1: forget about it. They were out there hobnobbing, drinking and

2184
01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:30,000
Speaker 1: eating with all these strange shaking hands, shaking hands. They

2185
01:54:30,040 --> 01:54:32,680
Speaker 1: were doing all this hob not taking pick whatever. And

2186
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 1: they didn't And they're gonna skate because they didn't have

2187
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:37,880
Speaker 1: any positive tests. So that's the maddening part about this.

2188
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:40,680
Speaker 1: You do everything right and you get nicked with the virus.

2189
01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:43,920
Speaker 1: These guys didn't, didn't, couldn't care less what the rules are,

2190
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 1: and they and they go through Scott free. That's the

2191
01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:48,640
Speaker 1: frustrating thing. I'm not convinced it'll be Scott three. We'll

2192
01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 1: see where it goes, because there's still time on the

2193
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 1: clock here for this stuff to surface out in Las Vegas.

2194
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:55,840
Speaker 1: We'll see if it does come to which I hope

2195
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:57,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I hope. Yeah. And that's the thing too, now,

2196
01:54:57,800 --> 01:55:00,320
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't because the bills to be impacted advice.

2197
01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 1: I hope the Raiders get away with it. Well, yeah,

2198
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 1: I hope they'd get away with that, because if they don't,

2199
01:55:10,360 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 1: we're all going down with the ship. Yeah, And that's

2200
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 1: the issue. One more call here, before the break, Let's

2201
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:18,040
Speaker 1: go to Pete and Buffalo. Pete, thanks for joining us.

2202
01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Sir? And I just

2203
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 1: wanted to talk a little bit about the faith that

2204
01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:26,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo has. And Josh Allen, I mean, I'm sitting there

2205
01:55:26,440 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 1: watching the game with my girlfriend Alexa on Sunday and

2206
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 1: she she looks at me in the fourth quarter and

2207
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:34,640
Speaker 1: she goes, Josh, She's gonna win his game for us.

2208
01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:37,280
Speaker 1: And you know, she doesn't even really watch the game,

2209
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:39,440
Speaker 1: but she knew she had the confidence in him that

2210
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:41,680
Speaker 1: he'd get it done. Guys, I think she'd leave me

2211
01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: for him, and I don't think I could blame her.

2212
01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 1: Wanted to. I wanted to ask you, guys, what do

2213
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:50,560
Speaker 1: you think is still the greatest room that he needs

2214
01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 1: to develop? And what's what's the one trait that he's

2215
01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 1: currently missing? With all the good, what's the bad? Um

2216
01:55:56,400 --> 01:55:59,120
Speaker 1: I would say, ball security, Yeah, that would be mine.

2217
01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:01,520
Speaker 1: He needs to stop fumbling it. That's about it. He's

2218
01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:04,320
Speaker 1: got three fumbles in the last in the first three games.

2219
01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 1: Is a three or two? Well? Yeah, one the play

2220
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 1: was called dead in Miami when he trucked Van Noy

2221
01:56:09,280 --> 01:56:11,480
Speaker 1: and then fumbled the ball. But fortunately the whistle had

2222
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 1: blown already because that would have been another one, so

2223
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:18,960
Speaker 1: he would have had four in three games. Instead, he

2224
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:21,200
Speaker 1: has three in three games, two in the Jets game

2225
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:24,720
Speaker 1: and then one against the Rams when Aaron Donald breaked

2226
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,720
Speaker 1: it out. So that that that's it as far as

2227
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:30,080
Speaker 1: I know, as far as you tell me, Whereas he

2228
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 1: still got room to grow. Ball security, especially when he

2229
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:35,400
Speaker 1: tucks and runs or when he's handling it like a

2230
01:56:35,480 --> 01:56:38,040
Speaker 1: loaf of bread to avoid pass rushers in the pocket.

2231
01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 1: That's what it is for me. It's ball security, and

2232
01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything else. It's a short list. Yeah,

2233
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:44,640
Speaker 1: and let's face it, he's the He's in one of them.

2234
01:56:44,640 --> 01:56:46,320
Speaker 1: He's in the best month of any quarterback in the

2235
01:56:46,360 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 1: league right now, nobody's you know, he's the offensive player

2236
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:53,400
Speaker 1: of the month. So there's not much to improve now,

2237
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:56,920
Speaker 1: certainly he's not Maybe I don't think he's gonna be

2238
01:56:56,960 --> 01:56:59,960
Speaker 1: able to sustain this higher numbers and this plateau he's

2239
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:04,160
Speaker 1: so you're now it's gonna level off at some point,

2240
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,680
Speaker 1: either by design or just by the other teams saying

2241
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:11,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna stop him. Um, so there's not much to

2242
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 1: improve upon and you're right, Brownie. It's the ball security

2243
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 1: that's probably the thing. And other than that, I think

2244
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:20,960
Speaker 1: any quarterback in the league could trade places with him. Um,

2245
01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 1: maybe not Russell Wilson. He's got more touchdowns. But yeah,

2246
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:28,880
Speaker 1: there's not much to improve on this month. Yeah, all right,

2247
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:30,680
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. But when we return

2248
01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:33,240
Speaker 1: more of your answers on the tweet sheet in terms

2249
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: of your level of confidence that all thirty two NFL

2250
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 1: clubs will play all sixteen of their regular season games,

2251
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:42,200
Speaker 1: we'll see what you think about that on the tweet sheet,

2252
01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:44,720
Speaker 1: and then maybe we'll have time for a little NFL

2253
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:48,120
Speaker 1: true false. We'll put Steve through that next. Here on

2254
01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:50,320
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, this is

2255
01:57:50,360 --> 01:58:05,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live. It

2256
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,520
Speaker 1: is now time for Coffee with the Bills, presented by

2257
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 1: Tim Horton's Cafe in Bake Shop. Our guy Chris Brown

2258
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 1: had a chance to sit down with rookie tight end

2259
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:17,880
Speaker 1: Reggie Gilliam and here's what happened. Reggie, thanks very much

2260
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 1: for giving us some time. How you doing, I'm good?

2261
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 1: How are you I'm doing okay? So the number one

2262
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:27,680
Speaker 1: question here for you is did the feeling of scoring

2263
01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 1: your first NFL touchdown exceed the feeling of signing with

2264
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:34,920
Speaker 1: the Bills as an undrafted rookie, or the feeling of

2265
01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 1: making the fifty three man roster? Why don't you rank

2266
01:58:37,440 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 1: those three things? For making the fifty three was definitely

2267
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 1: number one, And then I'd probably say the signing two

2268
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:47,160
Speaker 1: and the touchdown for three. Okay, why the roster? Why

2269
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 1: the roster? Why is that number one? Because that was

2270
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 1: just that was my whole goal from the beginning. That

2271
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:54,760
Speaker 1: was that was what I was dreaming for it. I mean,

2272
01:58:54,840 --> 01:58:57,040
Speaker 1: of course you're dreaming about touchdowns too, but you can't

2273
01:58:57,080 --> 01:59:00,760
Speaker 1: make the touchdown nless you make the roster. That's gravy, right,

2274
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:04,040
Speaker 1: it's gravy. Now, in twenty eighteen at Toledo, you had

2275
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 1: three touchdown receptions on just six touches, and now you

2276
01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:12,560
Speaker 1: got one touchdown on one reception. So should we expect

2277
01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:15,120
Speaker 1: to see like your touchdown percentage, John Catches to be

2278
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 1: somewhere between fifteen. Yeah, it's just a game plan. It

2279
01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:23,560
Speaker 1: just works out that way. I know after the Dolphins game,

2280
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 1: you said on that touchdown tech you adjusted your route

2281
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:30,880
Speaker 1: to try to improve the passing angle for Josh to

2282
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:34,840
Speaker 1: throw it. Can you explain what you're seeing as that

2283
01:59:35,040 --> 01:59:39,400
Speaker 1: play unfolded and how you're able to think and act

2284
01:59:39,760 --> 01:59:44,000
Speaker 1: that quickly to increase the likelihood of that play being successful. Yeah,

2285
01:59:44,040 --> 01:59:46,240
Speaker 1: it's just trying to say in phase with the quarterback.

2286
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:47,840
Speaker 1: So I knew if I would have came out of

2287
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,720
Speaker 1: that and spreads it straight to the sideline, he wouldn't

2288
01:59:50,720 --> 01:59:52,480
Speaker 1: have had I mean, he was still trying to evade

2289
01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:54,600
Speaker 1: whoever was staying in there. So I wanted to give

2290
01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:56,720
Speaker 1: him a good I didn't want to like a good temper,

2291
01:59:56,760 --> 01:59:58,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I didn't want to

2292
01:59:58,280 --> 02:00:00,000
Speaker 1: just spread straight and just kind of like a knife

2293
02:00:00,120 --> 02:00:02,120
Speaker 1: soft jog. So you can see me and I can

2294
02:00:02,160 --> 02:00:05,440
Speaker 1: give him a good angling. Brow Definitely did Dad. Okay,

2295
02:00:05,560 --> 02:00:08,200
Speaker 1: So now Reggie, time for a little game we play

2296
02:00:08,280 --> 02:00:11,080

02:01:00,280 --> 02:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Reggie White I would have worked. Also. Yeah, nice job

02:01:26,360 --> 02:01:29,600
Speaker 1: in another edition after that. So appreciate Tim Horton's helping

2318
02:01:29,680 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 1: us out to bring those to you, because we do

2319
02:01:32,880 --> 02:01:35,800
Speaker 1: like to kind of humanize the players a little bit,

2320
02:01:35,840 --> 02:01:38,240
Speaker 1: show you that they're more than just some dude under

2321
02:01:38,280 --> 02:01:41,480
Speaker 1: a helmet. And Reggie's he's got a good personality. It

2322
02:01:41,560 --> 02:01:43,480
Speaker 1: was nice to kind of talk with him a little

2323
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:45,840
Speaker 1: bit because we're not seeing these guys face to face

2324
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:47,680
Speaker 1: right now, you know what I mean, We're seeing guys

2325
02:01:47,720 --> 02:01:49,840
Speaker 1: over zoom. We haven't met any of these rookies face

2326
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:52,680
Speaker 1: to face, haven't shaken anybody's hand because you can't do

2327
02:01:52,840 --> 02:01:55,200
Speaker 1: that either. It's weird, man, It's weird. It is. It's

2328
02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:57,480
Speaker 1: been really strange. But I will say this about you know,

2329
02:01:57,560 --> 02:02:00,280
Speaker 1: you're saying there's a there's a ton of great guys

2330
02:02:00,320 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 1: in this organization at this point in history. They have

2331
02:02:02,920 --> 02:02:07,040
Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job of making that really high in

2332
02:02:07,120 --> 02:02:09,680
Speaker 1: their priority list of what brings what it takes to

2333
02:02:09,720 --> 02:02:12,800
Speaker 1: be a Buffalo Bill. Certainly it takes a great football player.

2334
02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 1: But even the guy, even Steph Diggs last year, they thought, Wow,

2335
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:19,280
Speaker 1: this guy's a malcontent. He's not very happy. He's a

2336
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 1: kind of a problem child. And when he left Minnesota,

2337
02:02:22,720 --> 02:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer said that ain't that's not the case. I

2338
02:02:25,280 --> 02:02:29,240
Speaker 1: like the guy. He worked hard for us. That discontent

2339
02:02:29,480 --> 02:02:31,560
Speaker 1: one time on the sideline was because he wasn't getting

2340
02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:34,640
Speaker 1: asked to contribute. And certainly his time in here in

2341
02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:38,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo has been as screamed the fact that he's been

2342
02:02:38,480 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: nothing but a great teammate so far. So we're gonna

2343
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 1: go back to the tweet sheet now, which has brought

2344
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:45,840
Speaker 1: to you, as always by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

2345
02:02:45,880 --> 02:02:48,280
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. As we are

2346
02:02:48,280 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 1: asking you, what are the chances that all thirty two

2347
02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:54,040
Speaker 1: NFL teams play all sixteen of their games this season?

2348
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:56,880
Speaker 1: And your level of confidence you had a few choices there,

2349
02:02:57,400 --> 02:03:00,280
Speaker 1: and Tiffany on the tweet sheet says, I believe leave

2350
02:03:00,720 --> 02:03:03,400
Speaker 1: they will get it all in. If teams are non

2351
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:07,320
Speaker 1: compliant with the COVID protocols, the fines handed down by

2352
02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:10,320
Speaker 1: the league will be massive. Owners don't like to lose money,

2353
02:03:10,600 --> 02:03:13,240
Speaker 1: and I can see owners being more proactive moving forward

2354
02:03:13,320 --> 02:03:16,600
Speaker 1: holding their coaches and players accountable. Now, we do know

2355
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:19,040
Speaker 1: that most of the penalties they're in will be at

2356
02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:24,600
Speaker 1: the team level. Now, if a team is blatantly irresponsible,

2357
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:27,400
Speaker 1: I wonder if the league steps in in some way,

2358
02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:32,200
Speaker 1: shape or form and just docks them in some way,

2359
02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:35,520
Speaker 1: be it monetarily or well. They've already done that. I mean,

2360
02:03:35,560 --> 02:03:39,840
Speaker 1: they've already find coaches and teams according millions accordingly, so

2361
02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:43,040
Speaker 1: to the tune to one point seven million so far,

2362
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:46,240
Speaker 1: I would league wide, Yeah, right, league wide, So I

2363
02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:49,440
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, there will be ramifications if they have

2364
02:03:49,680 --> 02:03:52,040
Speaker 1: more reason to believe the teams aren't doing that. The

2365
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Raiders are again at the center of an investigation. They

2366
02:03:55,840 --> 02:03:58,040
Speaker 1: let somebody who was unauthorized to be in the locker

2367
02:03:58,120 --> 02:04:01,560
Speaker 1: room in the locker room after the game, so that

2368
02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:04,320
Speaker 1: stuff's still going on as well. What happens with that

2369
02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:07,600
Speaker 1: remains to be seen too. We may not find out

2370
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:09,960
Speaker 1: until later date what they did with that or what

2371
02:04:10,160 --> 02:04:13,120
Speaker 1: was found. So they are investigating and keeping tabs on

2372
02:04:13,200 --> 02:04:14,880
Speaker 1: these teams in some way, shape or form at the

2373
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:17,200
Speaker 1: league office. But by the same token too, they got

2374
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:22,040
Speaker 1: It's not like they have an enforcement an enforcement group

2375
02:04:22,120 --> 02:04:25,000
Speaker 1: who goes out and watches these It's all like social media,

2376
02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:28,080
Speaker 1: like we found out with the Raiders, it's all you know, happenstance.

2377
02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:30,720
Speaker 1: It's all media members reporting what they see at these

2378
02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:34,120
Speaker 1: teams facilities and all of that too. So there's really

2379
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:38,080
Speaker 1: no nobody out there looking over the shoulder of these teams.

2380
02:04:38,120 --> 02:04:40,160
Speaker 1: It's just you know, how they find out about it

2381
02:04:40,280 --> 02:04:43,320
Speaker 1: on game days and on road trips and the like.

2382
02:04:43,800 --> 02:04:46,200
Speaker 1: From Jeremy. He says, I believe all the games will

2383
02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:49,520
Speaker 1: be played, but probably not according to the current schedule

2384
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:53,320
Speaker 1: as it sits. I'm guessing some games could be added

2385
02:04:53,360 --> 02:04:56,280
Speaker 1: to the end of the season, or teams will trade

2386
02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:59,280
Speaker 1: bye weeks. Brad Daniel our guests earlier this hour. Maybe

2387
02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:02,760
Speaker 1: that suggest in terms of moving the Ravens off of

2388
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:05,879
Speaker 1: their Week seven game against the Steelers, knowing the Titans

2389
02:05:05,960 --> 02:05:08,280
Speaker 1: have a bye there, and just plug the Titans in

2390
02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:13,360
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Move the Ravens by two week, what

2391
02:05:13,480 --> 02:05:16,400
Speaker 1: would that be We well, we'd have to see one week,

2392
02:05:16,480 --> 02:05:20,720
Speaker 1: but to a later week to accommodate the Titans Steelers game.

2393
02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:24,280
Speaker 1: But he says, with the situation as it is, with

2394
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 1: no fans for the most part, the league has options,

2395
02:05:26,680 --> 02:05:28,920
Speaker 1: and he's right. You can move games a little bit

2396
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:31,520
Speaker 1: easier without impacting fans because there are no fans in

2397
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:35,440
Speaker 1: most cases at stadiums, or at the very least reduced

2398
02:05:35,520 --> 02:05:37,360
Speaker 1: number of fans. And then you just say, well, sorry,

2399
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:39,680
Speaker 1: we got a reschedule game. Yeah the Titans. We're supposed

2400
02:05:39,680 --> 02:05:42,520
Speaker 1: to have seven thousand fans in the seats this week, right,

2401
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 1: So I get it. I mean, you don't you want

2402
02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:48,280
Speaker 1: to inconvenience those seven thousand fans. But at this point,

2403
02:05:48,400 --> 02:05:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, that seems a little bit lower on the

2404
02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:52,640
Speaker 1: number one priorities playing the game, right, That seems a

2405
02:05:52,640 --> 02:05:54,880
Speaker 1: little lower on the priority list than it normally would be.

2406
02:05:55,080 --> 02:06:00,720
Speaker 1: But still there is that consideration from Joshua. The NFL

2407
02:06:00,840 --> 02:06:04,040
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything about the Las Vegas situation. The players

2408
02:06:04,080 --> 02:06:06,280
Speaker 1: are not quarantined, and they have been practicing like it's

2409
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:08,600
Speaker 1: a typical week. If the NFL isn't going to take

2410
02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:11,400
Speaker 1: situations like this seriously, there is zero chance of a

2411
02:06:11,480 --> 02:06:15,520
Speaker 1: full season. It's a bad look for the NFL, says Joshua. Yeah.

2412
02:06:15,560 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 1: It's interesting too because back when they negotiated this deal

2413
02:06:18,400 --> 02:06:21,640
Speaker 1: with the union, everybody was like, so like, we just

2414
02:06:21,720 --> 02:06:24,960
Speaker 1: gotta get this in. Man, that will do anything. The

2415
02:06:25,120 --> 02:06:28,000
Speaker 1: teams and the coaches and the players and the league,

2416
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:31,880
Speaker 1: the owners, the union. They were saying, listen, let's work

2417
02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:34,640
Speaker 1: together and get these games, and we'll all be diligent.

2418
02:06:34,720 --> 02:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Will you know, nobody's gonna nobody's gonna be flouting these rules.

2419
02:06:37,240 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: We all want to get this in. Let's do this, letten.

2420
02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:40,640
Speaker 1: So they agree to these things, and all of a sudden,

2421
02:06:41,240 --> 02:06:43,400
Speaker 1: the teams are in charge. We find out that the

2422
02:06:43,480 --> 02:06:46,080
Speaker 1: teams were left in charge of disciplining their own players.

2423
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:51,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna do that in the heat of the season. Yeah,

2424
02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:55,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna just hope that they skate by the Raiders.

2425
02:06:55,760 --> 02:07:00,520
Speaker 1: This could go up in smoke this weekend if the

2426
02:07:00,640 --> 02:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Raiders get an outbreak. Yeah, I mean up in smoke.

2427
02:07:07,040 --> 02:07:09,800
Speaker 1: The next seventy two hours at least are critical. Yeah,

2428
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:12,200
Speaker 1: at least the Bills Raiders game could go up in smoke.

2429
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:16,000
Speaker 1: If Raiders come in tomorrow and there are positive tests

2430
02:07:16,480 --> 02:07:19,000
Speaker 1: and they get sent home and they have to quarantine,

2431
02:07:19,200 --> 02:07:21,080
Speaker 1: and they're out of the picture for this weekend, and

2432
02:07:21,160 --> 02:07:23,520
Speaker 1: you've got upwards of ten twelve players, including the two

2433
02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:29,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in Nathan Peterman and Derek Carr, you're up a creek.

2434
02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:33,240
Speaker 1: You're you're up a creek now. Not only because and

2435
02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:35,440
Speaker 1: for those of you out there that say, well, if

2436
02:07:35,480 --> 02:07:38,080
Speaker 1: they have ten positives, that's on them. They got to

2437
02:07:38,080 --> 02:07:40,520
Speaker 1: play the game without those ten players. And while I'd

2438
02:07:40,520 --> 02:07:42,400
Speaker 1: be the first to agree with you, the problem is

2439
02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:45,040
Speaker 1: those ten players have been practicing with the balance of

2440
02:07:45,080 --> 02:07:47,160
Speaker 1: the roster for the better part of the last two days,

2441
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:51,000
Speaker 1: and they've exposed all of those players potentially, and you

2442
02:07:51,120 --> 02:07:53,880
Speaker 1: can't have those players take the field against the Bills

2443
02:07:53,880 --> 02:07:57,160
Speaker 1: and tell the Bills everything's fine. It's it's not in

2444
02:07:57,240 --> 02:07:59,920
Speaker 1: the best interest of the Bills. So because there's a

2445
02:08:00,040 --> 02:08:02,440
Speaker 1: domino effect there where they're the Bills become exposed, it's

2446
02:08:02,440 --> 02:08:05,720
Speaker 1: a huge risk because if if you do that, it's

2447
02:08:05,760 --> 02:08:07,320
Speaker 1: like what we're talking about with the Raiders in this

2448
02:08:07,480 --> 02:08:11,600
Speaker 1: charity event that they got caught doing. If if you

2449
02:08:11,720 --> 02:08:13,600
Speaker 1: go through it and you get away with it, okay,

2450
02:08:13,640 --> 02:08:16,680
Speaker 1: everything's fine. But if you don't, now the Bills are

2451
02:08:16,760 --> 02:08:22,000
Speaker 1: infected and and it just and it's like wildfire, then

2452
02:08:22,160 --> 02:08:26,320
Speaker 1: we've seen it. You gotta hem it in as best

2453
02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:28,600
Speaker 1: you can. I think the league probably made a smart move,

2454
02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:33,680
Speaker 1: particularly since Tennessee's still stringing along. They haven't even been

2455
02:08:33,760 --> 02:08:36,640
Speaker 1: back in their building yet, right, and they probably won't

2456
02:08:36,680 --> 02:08:39,120
Speaker 1: be until after the weekend. The Vikings did get back

2457
02:08:39,160 --> 02:08:43,800
Speaker 1: in their building, but with severely enhanced and stricter protocols.

2458
02:08:45,360 --> 02:08:48,040
Speaker 1: I can't begin to list what those are. I've just

2459
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:50,520
Speaker 1: read that they are allowed back in the building and

2460
02:08:50,600 --> 02:08:53,200
Speaker 1: with stricter protocols, because to this point, they are still

2461
02:08:53,440 --> 02:08:57,200
Speaker 1: no positives. Thankfully, for them as they were just caught

2462
02:08:57,240 --> 02:08:59,880
Speaker 1: in the crossfire of what happened to the Titans. Right,

2463
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:03,080
Speaker 1: you don't even know that they were even in the

2464
02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:05,920
Speaker 1: impacted at all, even in the possibility of being exposed,

2465
02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:09,160
Speaker 1: because it could be that the Tennessee players and coaches

2466
02:09:09,200 --> 02:09:13,640
Speaker 1: were exposed after the game. Yeah, although that would have

2467
02:09:13,680 --> 02:09:16,840
Speaker 1: been a tight window for somebody to show symptoms or

2468
02:09:17,120 --> 02:09:24,400
Speaker 1: be infected. So it's right now because it happened ostensibly

2469
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:28,960
Speaker 1: over the weekend of a road trip. Man, it's hard

2470
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:31,400
Speaker 1: to pin it down. Yeah, it's hard to go back

2471
02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:35,160
Speaker 1: and find patient zero. Yeah. From Jack on the tweet sheet,

2472
02:09:35,200 --> 02:09:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm cautiously optimistic they'll get the majority of a season in.

2473
02:09:38,840 --> 02:09:42,880
Speaker 1: But to speak in any exactitude is a fool's Errand

2474
02:09:43,440 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 1: what a sentence Jack provity. This bug spread so fast

2475
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:51,160
Speaker 1: and can pop up anytime. It's likely that most teams

2476
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:55,040
Speaker 1: will face issues. Either they'll have positives or their opponent

2477
02:09:55,120 --> 02:10:01,280
Speaker 1: will delaying or costing games. It's all thought out. It's

2478
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:03,200
Speaker 1: well thought out, and we've already seen it. You know this.

2479
02:10:03,640 --> 02:10:05,640
Speaker 1: We put this out this morning and now we've you know,

2480
02:10:05,680 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 1: we've only now just found out this is going to

2481
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:11,160
Speaker 1: affect the schedule. It already has. The Pittsburgh Tennessee game

2482
02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:13,520
Speaker 1: is not going to happen until later. Don't know exactly

2483
02:10:13,560 --> 02:10:15,800
Speaker 1: when that's gonna be, but it's gonna be set up,

2484
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:19,600
Speaker 1: and we've we've had one our guest, Brad Gannon, has

2485
02:10:19,720 --> 02:10:24,040
Speaker 1: said that the plausible scenario is to put the Tennessee

2486
02:10:24,160 --> 02:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game later in the week on Pittsburgh's bye week,

2487
02:10:30,040 --> 02:10:33,040
Speaker 1: and Tennessee will not take their bye week because the

2488
02:10:33,160 --> 02:10:37,960
Speaker 1: next week they will play Baltimore and Baltimore will play

2489
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:41,160
Speaker 1: on their bye week. They're moving Baltimore to one of

2490
02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:43,960
Speaker 1: those two teams bye week, right knowing that Baltimore and

2491
02:10:43,960 --> 02:10:47,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh share a bye week. So that's how they're gonna

2492
02:10:47,760 --> 02:10:50,640
Speaker 1: try to finagle this and wedge it in. Now, are

2493
02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:52,440
Speaker 1: our people in the control room just put up the

2494
02:10:52,440 --> 02:10:55,080
Speaker 1: Twitter poll because it did flip from where it was earlier, Steve,

2495
02:10:55,200 --> 02:10:57,040
Speaker 1: So guys bring that back up real quick before we

2496
02:10:57,120 --> 02:11:01,640
Speaker 1: go to break here. It originally was the leader in

2497
02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:04,080
Speaker 1: the clubhouse with what are the chances that all thirty

2498
02:11:04,120 --> 02:11:06,840
Speaker 1: two NFL teams play all sixteen games this season? The

2499
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:10,200
Speaker 1: leader in the clubhouse early was it's gonna be tough too,

2500
02:11:10,240 --> 02:11:13,720
Speaker 1: many variables at play. That was getting like sixty percent

2501
02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:16,160
Speaker 1: of the vote out to shoot, but now that's fallen

2502
02:11:16,200 --> 02:11:20,520
Speaker 1: into second place, and the respondents have said one hundred

2503
02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:23,840
Speaker 1: percent the NFL will do everything they can to play

2504
02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:26,280
Speaker 1: every single game. And while I believe that to be true,

2505
02:11:26,800 --> 02:11:28,720
Speaker 1: I worry there are going to be circumstances that are

2506
02:11:28,760 --> 02:11:32,000
Speaker 1: going to render that impossible. Well, there is, but I'll

2507
02:11:32,040 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 1: tell you this. We know this too, and we've seen

2508
02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:37,040
Speaker 1: it even in this first little outbreak after three weeks.

2509
02:11:38,080 --> 02:11:42,160
Speaker 1: They've got flexibility. They've got some flexibility in their schedule,

2510
02:11:42,200 --> 02:11:45,680
Speaker 1: and they're willing to use it. And kudos to them

2511
02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:47,800
Speaker 1: if they can pull this one off and get it done.

2512
02:11:49,520 --> 02:11:51,880
Speaker 1: And they've got some flexibility in the back end of

2513
02:11:51,920 --> 02:11:54,120
Speaker 1: the schedules too. And you've said it, and I thought

2514
02:11:54,160 --> 02:11:56,840
Speaker 1: it's a really good idea, Brownie. If you get one

2515
02:11:56,880 --> 02:11:58,920
Speaker 1: of these games in the middle of the season that

2516
02:11:59,360 --> 02:12:04,480
Speaker 1: is not able to happen, like the Tennessee Pittsburgh game,

2517
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:08,160
Speaker 1: just hang on to it and if until the end

2518
02:12:08,160 --> 02:12:09,960
Speaker 1: of the seat, put it at week eighteen, and if

2519
02:12:10,480 --> 02:12:12,400
Speaker 1: nothing else happens, you can play it. Then The only

2520
02:12:12,440 --> 02:12:14,520
Speaker 1: problem with that is what if it happens twice to

2521
02:12:14,600 --> 02:12:17,680
Speaker 1: one team. What if they both can't play Week eighteen? Right?

2522
02:12:17,760 --> 02:12:21,280
Speaker 1: What if tennessee? Yeah, right, So there's your problem. So

2523
02:12:21,320 --> 02:12:23,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and fit this one in and maybe

2524
02:12:23,320 --> 02:12:25,000
Speaker 1: as they get closer to the end of the season,

2525
02:12:25,000 --> 02:12:27,720
Speaker 1: they'll be able to like say, Okay, we got three games,

2526
02:12:27,760 --> 02:12:29,560
Speaker 1: we've got to fit in Week eighteen. We're gonna have

2527
02:12:29,560 --> 02:12:31,040
Speaker 1: a triple head or that day, yea, and push the

2528
02:12:31,080 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 1: playoffs back a week. All right, We have to take

2529
02:12:33,120 --> 02:12:35,520
Speaker 1: a break, but one more segment when we return, What

2530
02:12:35,680 --> 02:12:37,880
Speaker 1: have we learned? We'll get to that after this on

2531
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:39,840
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is

2532
02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:56,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. What Have We Learned? Brought to you

2533
02:12:56,840 --> 02:12:59,800
Speaker 1: by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of the

2534
02:12:59,800 --> 02:13:05,280
Speaker 1: Bufalo Bills and Steve still chewing and stewing about this

2535
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:08,440
Speaker 1: Raiders team and their irresponsible behavior at the Monday night

2536
02:13:08,560 --> 02:13:12,080
Speaker 1: event with no masks indoors. It's clear that a lot

2537
02:13:12,120 --> 02:13:14,440
Speaker 1: of Bills fans are kind of ticked about it, knowing

2538
02:13:14,520 --> 02:13:17,840
Speaker 1: that there could be an impact indirectly on the Bills

2539
02:13:17,920 --> 02:13:21,600
Speaker 1: and their schedule if God forbid, some Raiders turn up

2540
02:13:21,640 --> 02:13:26,280
Speaker 1: positive here on Friday or Man Saturday, after the team

2541
02:13:26,400 --> 02:13:29,160
Speaker 1: is probably already in the air and headed to Las Vegas.

2542
02:13:30,600 --> 02:13:32,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how it all plays out,

2543
02:13:33,120 --> 02:13:36,160
Speaker 1: and it's it's not over yet. This won't be the

2544
02:13:36,280 --> 02:13:38,840
Speaker 1: only time that teams get you know, brush up against

2545
02:13:38,840 --> 02:13:41,200
Speaker 1: the virus and have to handle it. The league has

2546
02:13:41,200 --> 02:13:44,200
Speaker 1: already pushed one game back, and that was a team

2547
02:13:44,320 --> 02:13:47,200
Speaker 1: that did everything right on a road trip. The Lowdown

2548
02:13:47,760 --> 02:13:52,520
Speaker 1: Tasker's teammate Greg co Sell, and the football crisis all

2549
02:13:52,640 --> 02:13:55,680
Speaker 1: on Friday's edition to one Bills Live Join us tomorrow.

2550
02:14:00,480 --> 02:14:03,040
Speaker 1: It counts f
