00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: practice field today, cold practice field with two new members,

6
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: one on the active roster, one on the practice squad.

7
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: They are both familiar faces, Brandon Bryant defensive tackle number

8
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: ninety six in your program, and a familiar number eleven

9
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: by the name of Cole Beasley on the practice squad.

10
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: We'll get to some comments by general manager Brandon Bean

11
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: who spoke a little over an hour ago about the

12
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: addition of Beasley, among other things, including the state of

13
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, the state of the passing game

14
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: right now. We'll get to all those in due course.

15
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: We also have Taryn Johnson coming on the show fresh

16
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: off the practice field this week. Look forward to talking

17
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: to him, and we'll give you the latest weather update.

18
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: Especially for you listeners and viewers that are outside the

19
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: Western New York viewing area. Let me just say, for

20
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: all the Dolphins players out there that might be listening,

21
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: get Youleias ready, get youleas ready. We're looking at wins

22
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: fifteen to thirty miles per hour. Now snow is happening

23
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: during the game, maybe at its heaviest and kickoff. Yeah,

24
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: during the day's chances of snow, and at night it

25
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: raises the chance of snow. Um it like it's cold.

26
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we were out there watching practice. It's clean, brilliant,

27
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: so like bumbing out these other days of our I

28
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: was bumming out. I went out. We got stuff, we

29
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: can go out there and just bundle up and go right.

30
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: So we're out there. I was out there for ten minute.

31
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I padded Brownie on the back, said, bro,

32
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: that's enough, I'm out tapping out. I am ten minutes.

33
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: It wasn't even it wasn't snowing or anything, or raining

34
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: or anything. And the wind wasn't even that bad. It's

35
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: just like all the way through the snowy weather is

36
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: supposed to move in on Friday, and uh, you know

37
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: about three to four inches on Friday. They're supposed to

38
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: be more measurable, so snow on Saturday. Now, the tricky

39
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: part here is we've heard the local meteorologists talk for

40
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: the last couple of days about a Lake effect snow

41
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: event that is supposed to set up shop write a

42
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: kickoff with its heaviest lake effect bands here in Orchard

43
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Park at that time, around eight fifteen pm. The other

44
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: thing that I haven't heard them mention at all, there's

45
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: a storm in the Midwest right now. It's over Lake, Michigan,

46
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: and they have a winter storm warning there in the

47
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Chicago area. They're supposed to get about eight inches of

48
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: snow in their forecast for a winter storm. Now, Steve,

49
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: you and I have lived here long enough to know

50
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: most of the time what Chicago gets, we usually get

51
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: a day later. That's supposed to hit them on Thursday.

52
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: So my question, because I haven't looked at it closely enough,

53
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: nor do I know enough about forecasting weather, is that

54
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: going to combine with are we going to have like

55
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: a confluence of snow events? I feel sick. Look, you

56
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: and I both know, and we joke about it all

57
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: the time. We just went through this in November, right

58
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: with the sixty inches. We got sixty five I think

59
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: in my house. But when they predict snow in Buffalo,

60
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: they don't miss well, definitely, if they're still talking about

61
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: it two days out, two days out, it's a lock.

62
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: They don't miss Yeah, two days out, it's a lot.

63
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: And if they get a lake effect band like we've

64
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: seen in the last month at eight fifty at kickoff,

65
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: by the third quarter, you're like, it's too deep, dishovel

66
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: bro sleeve. Yeah, especially if it's falling at a rate

67
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: of two to three inches an hour. Dude, it's nasty. Okay. So,

68
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: in the spirit of this forecasted weather event, which is

69
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: going to make this game all the more interesting, especially

70
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: for TV viewers at home if it looks like a

71
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: snow globe here at high Mark, we decided to reprise

72
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: our roles as prime time football introduction announcers. We did

73
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: this back in week two, I believe, in advance of

74
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: the Monday night football game between the Bills and the Titans.

75
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: And since that went awfully well for Buffalo, Steve and

76
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: I would thought we would do it this time. Now

77
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: we realize it is not Monday Night Football. This is

78
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: a game that's going to appear on NFL Network. So

79
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: we pulled up the NFL Network football theme. Now, Steve,

80
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: did you want to go first? Okay? So Steve went

81
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: first the last time, I will go first. This time.

82
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: We're each going to try our hand at doing the

83
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: prime time football lead up to the telecast. Okay, so

84
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: I will go first, Steve will go second. Guys, you

85
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: can roll the music whenever you're ready. It's a game

86
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: of epic proportions as the reeling Miami Dolphins, loss of

87
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: two straight, wrap up a three game road stretch against

88
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, who have won four in a row,

89
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: in the frigid confines of high Mark Stadium in Orchard Park,

90
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: New York, where the tables aren't broken, but flipped from

91
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: what the conditions were in Week three, when a shorthanded

92
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: Bills team had to deal with the unforgiving heat of

93
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty degrees on their sideline in the

94
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: blazing sun as players wilted in the conditions. Now, a

95
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: Samoan by heritage and Hawaiian by birth brings the Dolphins

96
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: to Western New York, where they'll be met not only

97
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: by the AFC conference leader, but blowing snow fifteen to

98
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: thirty mile per hour winds and wind hills in the teens.

99
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: For a quarterback who has never played in a snow

100
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 1: game two in pregame warm ups was quite literally shivering.

101
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: There were even goosebumps on his face, something that's never

102
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: been witnessed on a human before. We also saw dry

103
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: ice being put unto both benches before the game, and

104
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: gatorade buckets replaced by snow cone machines with up to

105
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: a foot of measurable snow possible on the ground too.

106
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: And the Dolphins won't be building sand castles. But he

107
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: glues Bills Mafia is ready, old man, winter is ready.

108
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Steve Jasker is shouting. It might be chilly. It's the

109
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: shivering Dolphins and Buffalo Bills Saturday Night Football. Next. What

110
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: do you think? Not bad? Maybe a little overstated. I

111
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: never I don't go that long. I'm a i'm a

112
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: i'm a too short to the suite because I like it.

113
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: Though it was good, it was good. I want these

114
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: conditions to be completely unbearable for the Dolphins in a

115
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: way you can't possibly imagine. All right here, I literally

116
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: want to see them shivering on the sideline. All right,

117
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: here we go. All right, Steve is going to welcome

118
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: to Saturday Night Football on the NFL network. These two teams.

119
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Week three saw the Buffalo Bills wilt in the heat

120
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: of September, losing by three points to a surging Miami

121
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins team led by Tuatanga Bloa and Tyreek Hill, but

122
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo has since recovered and now stands atop the entire AFC,

123
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: while the Dolphins have continued to flirt with Super Bowl aspirations. Tonight,

124
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: this AFC East rematch could keep alive the Dolphins hopes

125
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: for taking back a division they haven't won since two

126
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, and for Buffalo it's a chance to

127
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: clinch a playoff perth and to prove that revenge is

128
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: a dish best served. I like to finish a lot.

129
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: I like to finish a lot. Whoof stuff. I'm ready

130
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: to put a helmet on. Let's go. What's gool wow?

131
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: A dish best served cold? I love it, ah, And

132
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: it will be served cold. Yes, it will twenty six degrees.

133
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be the airtan we're out there today.

134
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: It's thirty three today, it's supposed to be it's supposed

135
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: to be twenty three. On Saturday night thirty I was

136
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: out there and thirty three it was cold, man. Yeah,

137
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: And the wind's not even blowing today. And the big

138
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: story of the week is the Dolphins were in La

139
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: last Sunday. It was fifty degrees and the fifty they

140
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: had heaters on their benches. It was fifty five in

141
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Bill's fans are wearing shorts in the stands in fifty

142
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: five degree weather. Yeah they don't. I don't know if

143
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: they know what they're in for. Here, you can. You

144
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: can turn your ac and your practice bubble down as

145
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: much as you want. You're not getting. It's gonna be bad.

146
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really really bad. And it was bad

147
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: this last week. This is gonna be colder than it

148
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: was last week, and it was. It was brutal last week. Yeah,

149
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: last time the Bills played in frigid conditions, I recalled

150
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: them scoring forty seven points just saying on New England

151
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: it was bad minus five with the windshill. It was.

152
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: It was very cold that game, so very so. Let's

153
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: just you know, and I'm far be it for me

154
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: to do the math on windshill. But if it's twenty

155
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: six air temperature and getting colder as the night goes on,

156
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: steady fifteen mile per hour wins, let me let me

157
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: see if there's gotta be a windshill calculators, right, you

158
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: would think we can find that on the internet. I

159
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: mean why not. I mean, let's let's just let's just

160
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: spell it all out. It's the intranet. So fahrenheit twenty six.

161
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: If the winds are sustained at fifteen miles per hour,

162
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: the real feel will be thirteen. So I'll cut it

163
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: in half if we get up because it said fifty

164
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: to thirty, so I guess gusting. So when it gusts

165
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: to twenty, it'll feel like twelve. The gusts to thirty,

166
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: it'll feel like nine single digits. Giddy yup. So yeah, um,

167
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be cold, really cold. It's not a

168
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: seven layer game playoff game, but that's probably a four

169
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: layer game. That game is against the Patriots, and I

170
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: went back and washed it a couple of times. You

171
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: can see on the All twenty two and even in

172
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: the in the condensed version on the broadcast, there's twenty

173
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: two guys out on the field. You can tell when

174
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: every one of them exhales. There's like it's like an

175
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: old steam engine. Yeah. The frost is just blowing out

176
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: of every helmet, on every breath. It looks like um,

177
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, Dawson Knox and Shorts. It looks like a yeah,

178
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: egs it really leaves. It looks like a pipe organ,

179
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, with all the steam coming out of there.

180
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: So um, it's gonna be that kind of game fans

181
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: will know. I mean, well, people here in Western New

182
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: York are going to be geared up for it, of course.

183
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: But man, o'man, o'man, there ain't no hiding from that.

184
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: So we've got Cole Beasley on the field today. He

185
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: is on the practice squad, and Brandon Bean, as we said,

186
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: addressed the media a little over an hour ago as

187
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: he addressed the addition of one Cole Beasley, and we'll

188
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: get to some of his comments here shortly. I think

189
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest thing to take away from that, actually,

190
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: let's do this first. Let's get the practice updates out

191
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: to you. First Practice Updates presented by Lee Coom Lake

192
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. And the news is this,

193
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates, Jordan Phillips, Matt Milano not practicing, Ed Oliver

194
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: and Reggie Gilliam limited in practice today. Ed Oliver's dealing

195
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: with a peck injury. Reggie Gilliam still trying to come

196
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: back from that ankle injury that held him out a

197
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: last week's game. Phillip says, we know miss last week's

198
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: game with the shoulder injury, Bates suffered the ankle injury

199
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: in the game last week, and Milano's still dealing with

200
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: the knee that had him questionable going into last week's game.

201
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: It looks like that is something he's just gonna have

202
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: to deal with for at least the immediate future. So

203
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: I would anticipate he is going to be a you know,

204
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: a non tlimited participant for the next few weeks until

205
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: it writes itself, and whether it can or not, I

206
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: don't know, but I think that's that's gonna be a

207
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: thing that's managed, I guess is the best way to

208
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: put it on Milano. So hopefully they give him the

209
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: proper rest and then he gets enough reps he can

210
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: play in the game just like he did last week. Yeah,

211
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: because he played the whole game last It'll be interesting

212
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: because yeah, he just it's you can understand what it is.

213
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: You take a couple of steps forward, you start feeling better.

214
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Then you play a game, you take a step back,

215
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: or you take a knock on it, you can take

216
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: a whack on it or something, and then you know,

217
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: you take another few more steps forward and you get

218
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: knocked back again by another game. It just takes a

219
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: long time to get get on. We saw the same

220
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: thing really with Josh's elbow. Um. You know, he fought

221
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: through it and could throw it, but he wasn't throwing

222
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: much during the week. Um. And then you throw it

223
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: in the game, then okay, then you don't go back

224
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: to the square one, but you go back to square three,

225
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: you know. Um. So that's that's kind of where you're at.

226
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: And these these games like this, this late in the season,

227
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: everybody's managing something, you know, sore ankle. I mean even

228
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: you know Gabe Davis and his sore ankle. Um. You

229
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: know Jordan pol You're still lugging around at elbow that

230
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: he did way back, and you know early in the

231
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: season he's still wearing the brace. So you got all

232
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: these guys that are managing symptoms of injuries. And it's

233
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: it's really it really is on a front burner. Yeah,

234
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's that management getting guys

235
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: on the field, uh and having them take part and

236
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: be productive. Is I mean the sports science guys in

237
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: the in the athletic train the trainers and the medical staff,

238
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: they are it is all hands on deck for all

239
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: of them. They are. They've got everything going trying to

240
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: focus on these players, getting them healthy and feeling good

241
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: enough to play, not just to get on the field,

242
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: but to play well. That's what they've been very good

243
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: at in year's pass and they continue to be. As

244
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, Matt Malone is a perfect example. He is, indeed.

245
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: But let's get to some of the comments by one

246
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: Brandon being earlier today just before the noon hour, when

247
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: he addressed the signing of one Cole Beasley. Obviously, Cole's

248
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: a unique signing this time of year. Kind of the

249
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: way it came about was Cole reached out a couple

250
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I think it was it was right

251
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving. He called and just said, listen, I know

252
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: I retired, but I still am open to plan. I

253
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: know you guys have had some injuries there and what

254
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if the doors closed or not,

255
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: but um, if you know, I'm interested if you guys

256
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: are interested. So that's kind of how it started. We

257
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: talked for ten fifteen minutes, life, family, whatever, and then

258
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: I just said, listen, we'll we'll think about it internally,

259
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: talk about it also dealing with injuries here, I got

260
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: to find a roster spot if we were to do it.

261
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how it started. I told him

262
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: i'd call him later that week. We played Let's see,

263
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: we played New England again that week on a Thursday.

264
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: I think I checked in with him that weekend and

265
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: just said, listen, we're still dealing with some injuries. You know,

266
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips had just gotten hurt. Trying to figure out,

267
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, if it made sense and how it would

268
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: how we'd get him on the roster. And so late

269
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: last week I called him and just said, listen, call

270
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can get you on the

271
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: fifty three. You know, we'd we'd be interested in bringing

272
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: you back, but you know you'd have to be open

273
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: to practice squad spot. And so um he said he was,

274
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: And I said, well, let us get through this game

275
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: and then I'll call you and we'll either say yeah,

276
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: your nay. Let's either do it or not to you know,

277
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: you running out of time in the games in the

278
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: season to get him back in the flow. So UH

279
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: called him Monday morning and we got him on a

280
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: flight within a couple hours. And and so that's kind

281
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: of how it all. Um, you know, we've lost a

282
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: couple of guys this year in Cumero and and way

283
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: back Crowder, so we're down to four and you know Isaiah.

284
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, the plan at the beginning of the year

285
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: was Isaiah and Crowder we're going to kind of split

286
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: the role, and we just you know, Cole kind of

287
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: feels what we've lost with Crowder from that standpoint, so

288
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: it kind of all made sense. He played very briefly

289
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: with the Bucks this year at yeah, it looked like,

290
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, he still could do what Cole Beasley used

291
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, you know, he didn't play a lot

292
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: of snaps. Um, but what you saw he still got

293
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: his separation quicks. I trust his hands. I mean I

294
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: said it was it was a very limited amount to say,

295
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: oh yes, but um, you know, we'll get him back

296
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: out here, and there's um, you know, there's no promises

297
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: on either side where his snaps will go to. When

298
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: he's ready for a game, whether he's ready for a

299
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: game this week, whether it's next week, whatever, it's just

300
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: kind of, hey, come jump in the team, help us

301
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: any way you can. That's his mindset and that's our mindset.

302
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't a clean departure in some ways with Cole,

303
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: you know back going on social media, this summer thing.

304
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: I won't regret leaving the bills. How do you deal

305
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: with that part of that? Uh? You know when when

306
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: that when it? Did it come up in conversation? How

307
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: did you how did you approach that part? Yeah, that's

308
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: a good question, John, I mean I think you know,

309
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: knowing Cole, Um, you know, Cole wears his emotions on

310
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: his sleeves. Um, that's what makes you know, for a

311
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: small guy, tough. And you know, we we in a

312
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: roundabout way, talked about things and um, you know, no

313
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: one's perfect, um deep in his heart calls a good person.

314
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: And I think ultimately, um, we appreciated who he was

315
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: when he was here. And um, you know, did everything

316
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: finish the way here or we wanted you know perfectly?

317
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: Probably not? Um, but I think a healthy respect on

318
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: both sides. And and you know, I think that's why

319
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: you you keep it open, you never close the door.

320
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: You I hopefully do you think you could use another move,

321
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: the chain's option against some elite defenses. Yeah, I mean

322
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: I think Cole provides you that he's you know the

323
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: way we've used him. He's an extension of the run

324
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: game mark um and said, you know when people are

325
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: just um trying to take away the deep stuff. Um,

326
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: and you need those guys finding the holes, you know,

327
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: in the middle when you got to throw it third

328
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: and three, third and five whatever, whatever the you know,

329
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: the down and distance is I think has proven to

330
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: be that. Um. And again we gotta this is this

331
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: is the first time in Ken Dorsey's offense. Not a

332
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: lot has changed. Ken's got his own wrinkles on it.

333
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: But um, he'll have to fit into that as well.

334
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: But Josh Evan and put on this, did you contact

335
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: him get his Yeah? I mean, um, the next week,

336
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: I think I think at some point Cole maybe after

337
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: he had talked to me, you know, I think he

338
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: probably mentioned a couple of guys that he reached out

339
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: and you know, would be interested. So Josh actually came

340
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: up to me at some point and said, hey, you

341
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: talked to Cole And I was like, yeah, I did,

342
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: and and he said what are you you know, what

343
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: are you thinking? And I just said I'm still thinking,

344
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: you know. And it's not just as simple as bringing

345
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: Cole back. It's I got to figure out the roster

346
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: piece here as well. But um, yeah, of course I said, well,

347
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, how do you think he'd fit, you know,

348
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: when in our room and you do you want to

349
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: make sure, not just if as a player, everything walk

350
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: back in fit like he never left type thing. And

351
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: of course Josh he felt like everything would be great

352
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: if if if we did make the move. Not realistic

353
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: to think he could play that at her. I don't

354
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: think it's unrealistic. Um no, I think you know, yesterday

355
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: we just had a walk through, so you know, I

356
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: think we'd have to see and make sure. What we

357
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to do if we played him is have

358
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: him have a setback, like you know, he's not in

359
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: football shape. You know, I know he went and you

360
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: know when I checked in with him a couple of times,

361
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: he started running routes. Again, I think he was playing

362
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: basketball mainly, but um started running routes. I don't think

363
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: he had a pro quarterback thrown to him, but you

364
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: know he was trying to get himself in shape. So um,

365
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: you know that would be up for you know, Sean

366
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: and Dorsey and Chad Hall to determine if he's ready

367
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: to roll along with our medical staff to make sure

368
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: there's no concern about you know, the soft tissue stuff.

369
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: You also mentioned Jamison earlier and how kind of cool

370
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: could fill that role. Yeah, is there still a possibility

371
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: at Jamison returns. I think it's still a possibility. Yes, Yeah,

372
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: he's still working his way back, you know, not being

373
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: cleared or anything like that. He would need to work hisself.

374
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: It's been so long back into football shape using the window, so, um,

375
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's improving. Um, I don't. I

376
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: don't know. If it's a couple of weeks, three weeks,

377
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure how close he is. But um, yeah,

378
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: we'd be open to you know, him back, um if

379
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, once deemed healthy. So the more kind and

380
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: those kind of questions. But that position, whether it be

381
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: Jameson's injury or performance related maybe with Isaiah whatever, that

382
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: dimension of the offense and with whatever is going on

383
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: with on that side of the ball, with it being

384
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: able to reach its highest gear at the most important time,

385
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: that's been the narrative obviously what people see. How much

386
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: has the lack of an answer at that slot receiver

387
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: position affected things in europinion? Yeah, I mean, m every

388
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: year is a new year, Adam every you know, every

389
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 1: season has its own ups and downs. Again, Um, I

390
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: think Crowder was really doing a good job through the

391
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: preseason and and he and Josh were kind of getting

392
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: their groove gone. Isaiah, you know, was going to continue

393
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: his role and maybe a little bit more than in

394
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: years past, but his role definitely expanded, you know when

395
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: Crowder went out, and so you're always trying to find

396
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: answers for every defense, and um, you know it's hard

397
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: when Cole Beasley against his own defense is you know,

398
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: he's got a really anate feel he sees the game.

399
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: It's very similar to how Josh sees it. Not a

400
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys see it, you know, that clear happening

401
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: like that, you know, and that's that's one of his

402
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: strengths why a guy his size has had such such

403
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: success in the league and in this offense. All right.

404
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: That's GM Brandon Bean addressing the media about hybody right

405
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: about two hours ago, and he was just kind of

406
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: spelling out how bringing Cole Beasley back to the roster,

407
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: I'll be on the practice squad came to fruition. Some

408
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: of the other things that he mentioned were important. Jamison

409
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: Crowder still has a chance to get back to the

410
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: roster before the end of the season, although it sounds

411
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: like it's going to be closer to the end of

412
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: the season. We've seen him working on the side with

413
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning staff and some athletic trainers the

414
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, so we thought, oh, maybe he's close,

415
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: but it looks like it might be towards the tail

416
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: end of the season, like week seventeen eighteen at the earliest.

417
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: Other things that Brandon being addressed that we did not

418
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: play for you because it just kind of went on

419
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: and on and on. Well, no, it was longer than

420
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: we have time for that's really the issue. But Brandon said,

421
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: the Cole Beasley signing is mutually exclusive from their interest

422
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: in Odell Beckham junior. He said that they haven't closed

423
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: the door on Odell just because they signed Cole Beasley,

424
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: so those two things are mutually exclusive. And then and

425
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: he also was asked about Jake Kumero, who's another receiver

426
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: on ir right now, and his answer was he is

427
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: not ready and even when he is ready, he will

428
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: need ramp up time, so it's gonna be a while

429
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: for him as well. So you kind of understand why

430
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: the team, which has been thin at wide receiver with

431
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: four on the active roster, add John Brown and Cole

432
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: Beasley the last few weeks. Yeah, you need guys you

433
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: can trust, who can who can play. That's it. I mean,

434
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: it's it's not complicated, And you don't need him for

435
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: a whole season. You don't need him to be great

436
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: right away. You don't need him to take one hundred

437
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: percent of the offensive snaps. You just need him to

438
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: be ready and when they come in perform and then theoretically,

439
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: in best case scenario, they go back to the bench

440
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: when the other guy's healthy or when they get back

441
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: to full strength at other places. So it's the right

442
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: time to do it. It's these are the guys who

443
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: who are gonna bring in. John Brown's already proven he

444
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: can still get loose. Cole bees that I was watching

445
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: him and you know at practice and yeah, he looks

446
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: he still looks capable to me of getting some separation

447
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: and catching the ball where Josh needs him in those

448
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: third down that he's got that short area explosion that

449
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: he can get away from a guy quick and have

450
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: the ball be there. And you know how tough he

451
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: is and I played in the playoff game with a

452
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: busted leg, so he'll be ready when the Bills line

453
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: it up if they need him. And that's exactly what

454
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: you're looking for at this time of year. So it

455
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense, particularly the guys they've signed,

456
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: Brandon Bryant, Cole Beasley, John Brown. So I'm they're all

457
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: injury related. If yes, they're all injury related, and that's

458
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: something the Bills haven't been through in a couple of years.

459
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: So here we are, yeah, and there is a decision

460
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: that will have to be made at the end of

461
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: the week. We saw John Brown get called up to

462
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: the game day roster from the practice squad two weeks

463
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: ago in New England, played fifteen snaps, got elevated again

464
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: last week and played Brandon Bean said he wouldn't rule

465
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: out Beasley being up for Saturday night's game. So what

466
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about here is route running capabilities. How sharp

467
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: is he You are his skills a little rusty, that

468
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: he's got a knock some rust off this week and

469
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: then maybe be a factor being on the active roster

470
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: next week or are we you know, concerned about his

471
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: level of fitness and conditioning where soft tissue injuries become

472
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: a concern. These are all things that are going to

473
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: have to be weighed and assessed not only by the

474
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: coaching staff, but by the athletic training staff. Like, hey, guys,

475
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: based on his conditioning level, if you play him, the

476
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: risk of a hamstring injury is seventy percent or you know,

477
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm just spitballing here because I don't know exactly how

478
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: it works. But these guys have it down to a

479
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: science in there. Yeah, it's yeah, it's about as high

480
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: level as you can get. I mean, they're at the

481
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: top of the food chain in that field. That's going

482
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: to be wayed before they say, yeah, well let's dress him.

483
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, but like we always know, when a team's desperate,

484
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: some of those some of those rules get bent. You know,

485
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: some of the good you know, the stuff you'd like

486
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: to do, becomes impossible because the time constrains, because a deadlines,

487
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: because a game you gotta kick it off and you

488
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: need the guy. So if he wants to go and

489
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: he's ready, whether you've vetted him thoroughly enough or not, bro,

490
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: you're in. Yeah, that's the way it goes. We're not

491
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: at that point yet for these guys right, and then

492
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: if he is in how much does he play? That's

493
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: the next question because John Brown his for like, if

494
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: you just want to use him as a barometer, you know,

495
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: John Brown goes to New England, he's here for a week,

496
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: plays fifteen snaps. Is that what we should expect for

497
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: Beasley or do we expect a little bit more? Well,

498
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: a lot of that's probably gonna be predicated on how

499
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: he looks in practice today and tomorrow and what the

500
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: athletic training staff teams is fitness level to be. I'll

501
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: say this though we talk about this all the time, Brownie,

502
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: if they come in and they look good, and they

503
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: and they're playing, and the Bills feel like they're the

504
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: best option in a given situation, they're gonna be on

505
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: the field. John Brown was that on the Jet game,

506
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: in the New England game, there were a couple of

507
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: instances where he was on there and he was the

508
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: guy and we're throwing it at him. You can bet

509
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: Beasley's going to be in that same situation as well.

510
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: The question is there's a couple of questions actually. One,

511
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: if somebody's hurt and they plug those guys in, what

512
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: happens if that guy gets better the next week, are

513
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: they back out? And if they if they aren't healthy

514
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: next week. Can these guys, you know, at their advanced

515
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: age and the fact they're just fresh back, can they

516
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: go long? Can they take a lot of snaps and

517
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: a lot of games in a row. That's a question.

518
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we come back. One

519
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: of the people who will be on the NFL Network

520
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,120

530
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: mccordy joining us on the line here. Jason, Welcome to

531
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. Hey you been I've been good. Appreciate

532
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: you guys having I can't complain I'm enjoying to transition

533
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: to retired life. Yeah. Yeah, I always get asked. I

534
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: got that ask when I when I retired from playing.

535
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: I always told people I recommended retirement if you could

536
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: swing it, no doubt about it. I can have drawn

537
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: up my transition into the sports media world any better. Up.

538
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: Wife still likes me. I'm still allowed in the house

539
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: now that I'm there more so. Everything is, everything's on

540
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: the up and up. That's good stuff. All right, Well,

541
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: let's begin here, Jason, especially being a former defensive back yourself.

542
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: The Dolphins and the offense has kind of hit the

543
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: skids the last two weeks, and San Francisco and the

544
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: Chargers took two different approaches to to in that passing game.

545
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: San fran played a lot more zone, Chargers came out

546
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: and pressed them up and shut down the middle of

547
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: the field. Both were successful. What do you make of

548
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: the last two weeks in terms of the defensive approach

549
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: to that Dolphins passing attack and the in which Miami

550
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: struggled to execute against both of those approaches. Yeah, it's

551
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: funny you say that because Miami struggled on offense the

552
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: last two weeks and a lot has been grouping those

553
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: two games together and say, all right, what did San

554
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: Francisco and the Chargers do a light that's shut down too,

555
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: and to your points, two totally different approaches. The forty

556
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: nine is our defense where they're stacked on each and

557
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: every level. So they go on a weekend and week

558
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: out and they just do what they do. They play

559
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: zone schemes because they're front four with Bolsa and Armstead,

560
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: they can get after any quarterback across the NFL. They

561
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: have really good linebackers Warner and green Law who understand

562
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: and know how to drop into those coverages and know

563
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: how to identify where the threats are. But then you

564
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: watch the Chargers on Sunday night versus Miami, and they

565
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: took a totally different approach. We're not gonna let Wildle

566
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: and Tyree Hill. We're not gonna let these speed guys

567
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: run on air and attack us while we're playing back

568
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: and we're playing passive. We're gonna get up there, we're

569
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: gonna get in their face, and we're gonna take away

570
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: to take away the space early on, and they did

571
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: solve its safety deep to protect him and then somebody

572
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 1: on the other side of the field to protect the inside.

573
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: So the Charges in the forty nineers both took vastly

574
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: different approaches. But the one thing I think that married

575
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: up with both of them is continue to put depressure

576
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: on two a tongue of vloa, not allowing him to

577
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: be comfortable in trying to force him to throw the

578
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: ball outside the numbers when we all know the anticipation

579
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: in his accuracy. What he loves is heading those routes

580
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: company into the middle. And they both teams did a

581
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: really nice job and make you know how we've seen

582
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: it a hundred times with two he drops back those

583
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: three steps and that ball is out on time. And

584
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: if you can jump on those routes or get somebody

585
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: on that and make him double clutch at his game

586
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: starts to deteriorate a little bit. But we all know it,

587
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: and it's not that easy to do. What's it take

588
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: for do you have forty nine Ers got a great

589
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: front they can do it, the Chargers not so much.

590
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: What's it take if a team doesn't have that great

591
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: front four to do that to ta I think what

592
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: the Charges did really well was they weren't afraid to challenge.

593
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: And I think when you have cornerbacks on the outside

594
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: that are used to weekend and week out playing man

595
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: and man Asante Samuel Michael Davis. Those were guys that

596
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: were totally comfortable standing at the line of scrimmage and

597
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: not being afraid of the speed of Tyreek Hill and

598
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: the speed of Jail and Waddle. And think about those

599
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: guys played for the Chargers. They played against tyreek Hill

600
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: in that offense. They've had to go up against it,

601
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: so they were comfortable in that space. And although tyreek

602
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: Hill has killed him at times when he was with

603
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, both of those guys did a

604
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: really good job of getting in in space and challenging them.

605
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: And the one thing that Miami does is they try

606
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: to get tyreek Hill in the waddle on the move,

607
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: those missile motions and then getting them up the field,

608
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: not allowing dbs to stand at the line of scrimmage

609
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: and press them to charge his Brandon staling. And what

610
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: they did is when that motion was coming, guys were

611
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 1: walking down to take away that space and forcing those

612
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: guys to run around them and keeping their inside leverage,

613
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: not allowing those quick slants and those routes that come

614
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: in to the middle of the field. So you think

615
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: about for Buffalo on Saturday night. I look at Buffalo

616
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: as a team. They're not going to change their entire

617
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: game plan to go against tah and to go against

618
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: this offense. Buffalo as a team with Leslie Fresh as

619
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, they do what they do, and they

620
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: do it really well. They go out there, they'll blitz

621
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: you a little bit, but a lot of it is

622
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: playings on and keeping the ball in front of you.

623
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: And if you're able to do that to Miami's offense,

624
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: you're limited drastically. All right. So let's let's take a

625
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: look at the Dolphins defense here, Jason, because defense did

626
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: you play for it just last year? It's the same

627
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: DC who's who's in charge, And for some reason, I

628
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: don't know what happens on the road. They're like a

629
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: top three defense at home in terms of points allowed,

630
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: fifteen point four points allowed per game. On the road

631
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: they're over thirty one points a game. It's last in

632
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: the league. They can't get off the field. They have

633
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: like the lowest three and out percentage in the league.

634
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: What's going on on that side of the ball? You

635
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: know that crew? Yeah, it's it's hard to explain the

636
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: drastic different from home in a way because there's so

637
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: many variables. It can be warm and Miami can be

638
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: warm on the role, so it's hard to explain the

639
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: difference between the two. But even if you look at

640
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: that first game in Miami where Buffalo played them, it

641
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: was so hot and that can be an advantage. Obviously

642
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: this week, all we're talking about is how cold is

643
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: going to be in Buffalo. Now, that's advantaged for them,

644
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: But Miami is a defense that is built on being

645
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: able to play man to man and having guys on

646
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: the outside and cornerbacks and Xavian Howard a year ago

647
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: was Byron Jones on the other side, having guys that

648
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: can play man to man and then being able to

649
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: bring pressure and making your quarterback uncomfortable. And from Miami

650
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: this year, they've had games where it's done really well,

651
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: in the games where it hasn't, and they've been really

652
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: banged up in the secondary. You just look at that

653
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: first game against Buffalo. I mean, you had Nick need

654
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: him out there. A guy who's now injured won't be

655
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: out there in the game. Another guy in Brandon Jones

656
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: who was out there who forced a bumble on Josh Allen,

657
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: who's a very aggressive blitzer and tackler. He's injured, he

658
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: won't be out there, So I think some of these

659
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: things go. But when you're facing injuries, especially when you

660
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: have a defense that's built on being able to cover

661
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: people in the back end, and makes it a lot

662
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: more difficult to figure out how to attack and what

663
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: to do. But I can't put my finger on why

664
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: they played so well at home and why they struggled

665
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: so much on the road. One of the things that

666
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: seems different about this Dolphin team has even gotten better

667
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: since even the first matchup in Week three is their

668
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: front four. Christian Wilkins is really playing extremely well. I

669
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: mean he was almost unblockable in that Charger or in

670
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: the Charger game this last Sunday night, he really seemed

671
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: like he was exploding off the ball. And Jalen Phillips

672
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: his athleticism which seemed to be non existent a year

673
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: ago when he was young, and this year with McDonald,

674
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: they've really unleashed him and he seems like he's quite

675
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: the player they thought he was gonna be when they

676
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: drafted him. Talk about this front four, how it's evolved

677
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: in this short time. Yeah, I'll start with Jalen Phillips,

678
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: the guy you just mentioned that the tailine to that question.

679
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: This is a guy that let us has been there.

680
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: This is a guy when he showed up in training

681
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: camp last year. We all do a condition test, all

682
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 1: thirty two teams in AFL do it when you show

683
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: up for training camp, making sure guys in the shape

684
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: and as often you have the bigs run together, the

685
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, a defensive linement. Then you have what we

686
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: call the mids, the running backs, linebackers tightens, and then

687
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: you have your skill your wide receivers and dbs gentlemen.

688
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: Phillips can fall in between kind of that defensive lineman linebackers.

689
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: He ran with the skill position the times that we

690
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: had to run on our conditioning test, he ran with

691
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: us as dvs and wide receivers and was not trailing

692
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: behind at wall. So this is a guy that is

693
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: extremely athletic. And you talk about making a jump from

694
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: year one to year two. Guys have such an understanding

695
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: of what you're trying to do on defense, but on

696
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: top of that, you have an expectation of what the

697
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: season is going to be like as a rookie, have

698
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: no idea what you're walking into. It's a long year

699
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 1: from college to bowl games to training for the Combine

700
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: and all of those things. Year two, you know, and

701
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins has just been a monster and it's a

702
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: contract year from man, he's taking advantage of it. He's

703
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: a leader on that team and in that locker room. Man,

704
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: he's a guy that comes out and plays every single Sunday,

705
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: and I think with him, you see the desire and

706
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: to love to just play football. It doesn't matter who

707
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: the opponent is. You see him antagonizing and doing things

708
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: its opponents trying to get under their skin. That's the

709
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: way he plays the game. And another guy you didn't

710
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: mention is Zach Steel, and he's a guy in the

711
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: middle of the defense that just RUPs things and doesn't

712
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: get a ton of credit, but in those third and shorts,

713
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: fourth and shorts, he's often the guy making a play.

714
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: And obviously they've added Bradley Chubb and then Melbourne Ingram

715
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: has been there. And Ingram had a huge impact in

716
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: that first game, being able to make plays and has

717
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: some tackles on Josh Allen that were really good. So

718
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: their front has played really well, and Miami's a team

719
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: that brings a lot of pressure. But I think this

720
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: front also allows Josh Border, the defensive coordinator, to be

721
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: able to say, hey, let me just let my guys

722
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: rush and force everybody else to stay in coverage and

723
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 1: keep their eyes on the quarterback. All Right, I'm curious, Jason,

724
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, because you'll I have more of an outside perspective.

725
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: We kind of suffer from Bill's myopia here talking about

726
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: it all the time. Bills are on a four game

727
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: winning streak, but their point total has decreased each successive

728
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: week on that streak. They've made a concerted effort to

729
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 1: try to diversify their offense kind of improve their run game.

730
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: So it's something they can turn to if and when

731
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: they need it, especially late in the season or in

732
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: a weather situation like we might have Saturday night. But

733
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: some fans get a little a little nervous about that

734
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: because they've become accustomed to seeing this explosive passing offense

735
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: the last two years, and they haven't really seen it

736
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. What is the outside perspective outside

737
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: maybe of Buffalo in Western New York, Like, is there

738
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: any concern that the Bills can't turn back to that

739
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: at the drop of a hat. Can they turn back

740
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: to a drop of a hat? I think that question

741
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: is more, will they need to? I think I'm a guy.

742
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: I guess the last three four years of my career

743
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: I've forced to play against the alien that you guys

744
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: played with that quarterback and Josh Allen, and I think

745
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: that's the gift and the curse. This guy is so

746
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: good that when he's not jumping over people, when he's

747
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: not throwing the ball seventy yards in the air to

748
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: Digs or Gay Davis, you sit there and you're just like, well,

749
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: what's going on? Is this elbow hurting? As he's second

750
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: guesting himself because he had a stretch of the three

751
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: games with the six interceptions, But to me, as I

752
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: watched him, I was I was there in person for

753
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: the game in Foxbor in New England, where they were

754
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: those guys in ouris by the way they were able

755
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: to control the game. They went in that third and

756
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and it was just all right, we're gonna

757
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to Singletary into James Cook and

758
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna let them do their thing. We're not gonna

759
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: force Josh Allen to feel like he has to be

760
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: a hero every time we step foot on the field.

761
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: And we can find ways to win with running the

762
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: ball and doing different things, then why not do it.

763
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: There have been times over the years while I played

764
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: against this offense where you finished out of the game

765
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: and you look at the running game and Singletary average

766
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 1: six yards to carry, but he only has seven carries,

767
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: And I think for them, when you look at how

768
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: you can be the best offense you possibly can be.

769
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: The connection with Josh Allen and Stefan Dicks, that's not

770
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: going anywhere. When those guys need to make a play,

771
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: they're able to make a play. When Josh Allen needs

772
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: to throw the ball fifty yards down the field, he's

773
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field. The game just passed me.

774
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: Versus New York Jets was a game and terrible conditions.

775
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: Another one where it may not be as easy to

776
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: throw the ball and make all of these completions. But

777
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: for me, a win is a win. When you're a

778
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: football team late in the season and you're finding ways

779
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: to win games that callouses you and that prepares you

780
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: for what the playoffs are going to be like and

781
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 1: how it's hard to finish games down the structs because

782
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: everybody's playing for the season. Jason, thanks, man, really appreciate

783
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: your time, No problem, Thanks for having me have a

784
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: good broadcast on Saturday night. That's Jason mccordy joining US

785
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: co host of Good Morning Football and also going to

786
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: be the color analyst on Westwood Ones national broadcast of

787
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: the game on Saturday Night between the Bill and the Dolphins.

788
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: We ran out of time. I ain't got to talk

789
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: to him about bundling up and stuff we did before

790
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: he came on a little bit, and he was saying, yeah,

791
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting down and that stuff anymore. He's not

792
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: a he's not a fan of the cold. I mean,

793
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: but he is. But yeah, yeah, but he played his

794
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: last season in Miami, So I just kind of wonder

795
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: what goes through those guys heads when they know they're

796
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: coming up to these conditions conditions they really haven't played

797
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: in yet this season. We'll talk more about that when

798
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: we return here on One Bills Live presented by Collid

Speaker 1: the official apple of your Buffalo bills. We were talking

803
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: about the weather that is forecast for the game on

804
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: Saturday night, and based on my cursory research, Steve Tuatagravoloa

805
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: has never played never played in a snow game. He

806
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: played in a game in which there was freezing rain

807
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and let's just say it did not go

808
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: well for Tuah and the Dolphins. So I am going

809
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: to try to pull that game up to get his

810
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: official stats. But he has never played in a snow game.

811
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: He has only played in a freezing rain game and

812
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: obviously some rainy conditions in college and playing format. Here's

813
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: what I'm getting on my little weather thing that I'm on.

814
00:44:55,280 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: It says Saturday, December seventeenth in or True Park, New York,

815
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: snow during the morning, transition to snow showers during the afternoon.

816
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: Wasn't interdens with snow and snow showers, I don't know anyway.

817
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: Tempts nearly steady in the load to mid thirties, wins

818
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: west southwest at ten to fifteen chances of snow sixty

819
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: percent one to three inches expected. So then you go

820
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: to the night says Saturday night, which I don't know

821
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: where it turns over in the night, but periods of

822
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: snow low twenty three, wins five to ten, chances of

823
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: snow seventy percent, accumulating one to three. Yeah, but they're

824
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: saying the snow band may set up here, write a kickoff.

825
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a little whole lot more than one

826
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: to three inches. Yeah. It could be the fact that

827
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: you get the one to three inches in about ten minutes.

828
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, we've seen that happen. Okay, So I

829
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: found the game two Atagavol year is last year, last year,

830
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: January second, twenty twenty two, Ammy at Tennessee week seventeen,

831
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: freezing rain, thirty four degrees and wins ten to twelve

832
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: miles per hour. Miami and their quarterback. Here are his stats,

833
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: are you ready? Eighteen of thirty eight for a forty

834
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: seven percent completion percentage, two hundred and five yards and

835
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: a pick. He was also sacked four times for a

836
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: loss of twenty three yards. The Dolphins lost that game

837
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: thirty four to three. That is the only game that

838
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: comes even remotely close to a snow game and it

839
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: was freezing rain was Tennessee. Was a temperature thirty four

840
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: ant cold. That ain't cold enough? Bro. I read somewhere

841
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: it is going to be in the twenty that Tua

842
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: has only played in games in which it was under

843
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: fifty degrees six times in his career. Under fifty in

844
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: the pros or is the pros in the pros? All right?

845
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: Because this is only his third season, right, Um? And

846
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: I think he only I don't know if he hasn't winning.

847
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: That's that's crazy. Because the guy's in the AFC East

848
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: and he plays in New York, buff in New Jersey, Buffalo,

849
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,240
Speaker 1: and Boston in New England. Those are all three northern cities.

850
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: And he's dodged that so far. Well, he's he's he

851
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: was injured this year. Well that was early in the season.

852
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be cold then. Um. And don't forget

853
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: his first year he didn't play until like week seven

854
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 1: because Fitz was playing, right, So I don't I think

855
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: the opportunities have not been as many as you might

856
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 1: have thought, right, So, yeah, and all they were at

857
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: they were at Cincinnati, at New York, at Baltimore, those

858
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: were all in September and early October. Yeah, there's a

859
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: winter storm warning and northern Wisconsin and northern Illinois from

860
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: noon today until nine am on Thursday. I wonder how

861
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: much of that day we're neck deep in it. If

862
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: that comes, Yeah, you're looking at more like a foot

863
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: then I would think then that, look, you know you're

864
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: in trouble. If let me just say this, if Governor Hokyl,

865
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: If Governor Hokel has another press conference on like Thursday,

866
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: when you worry when they're gonna say, okay, everybody, here

867
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: we go. That's when you really worry. When when Byron

868
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: Brown gets on the air and goes, all right, everybody,

869
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna buckle up, right, Mark Poland Cars got his

870
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: hands up, going okay, everybody, just hang on just for

871
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: a minute. We got You know, when those people start

872
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: showing up on two days ahead of the storm, that's

873
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: when you really worry. Yeah, that hasn't happened yet, no,

874
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: but it's it's too early. It's too early, but it

875
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: could if that had happened within the next forty eight hours.

876
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: If they're going to do that, Listen, it's gonna be

877
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: cold all day and then it's gonna get really, and

878
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: you know we all know what the sun goes down,

879
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: it gets even colder. Just and if the wind is

880
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: what they say it's gonna be. I mean, you don't,

881
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: like I said I was doing. I was doing the

882
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: windshill calculator. We had it down to like ten twelve degrees.

883
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: I mean you really, you really have to plan how

884
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna dress, when you're going, what you're gonna wear.

885
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: Your hand you gotta have those little hand warmer things

886
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: you gotta have every You really gotta get out there

887
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, here's what I'm gonna do, and you

888
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: gotta be right. If you miss it, you get to leave. Yeah. Yeah,

889
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: you can't last the whole game. One other thing I

890
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: left out from that Tennessee game that two have played

891
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: in freezing rain that they lost thirty four to three.

892
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: The interception he fumbled three times. Oh well, all security. Yeah,

893
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a whole different ball of wax than

894
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,239

Speaker 1: points allowed, allowing fifteen point four points per game, But

916
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: on the road this year they're allowing a league worst

917
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: thirty one point four points per game. How does that happen?

918
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: It's such a wide disparage. Yeah, I think it's a

919
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: number of things, and I think it's I don't think

920
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: it's indicative of the kind of game they play. A

921
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: two touchdown difference is enormous. Yeah it is, and you

922
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: could you can make all the inferences you want, but

923
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: I think it's probably a little bit of it is

924
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: is being at home. They communicate better, they have their

925
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 1: protocols better. They played New England at home. They can't score.

926
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 1: They played the Bills at home, the Bills only putting

927
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: nineteen points up at them. Impressive. One was the Bengals.

928
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: Bengals scored twenty seven on them. The Jets, I'm sorry,

929
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: that's not the Bengals were on the road. Then they

930
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 1: had Minnesota, who can only put twenty four up on them.

931
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: The Steelers can't play offense, and the Browns can't play offense,

932
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: and the Texans can't play offense. But that was at

933
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: at home, at home. Yeah, yeah, Houston, Cleveland, Pittsburgh. This year.

934
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: Minnesota was a tough game, but they scored twenty four

935
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: on on the Dolphins. The Buffalo Bills, which in they

936
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: you know, got baked and New England Patriots. It's a

937
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,959
Speaker 1: soft home schedule, Brownie. Okay, on the road, let's looking

938
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: at it. On the road. They were at Baltimore, gave

939
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: up thirty eight. Yeah, they were at Cincinnati, gave up

940
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven. They were at the Jets, gave up forty.

941
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: They were Detroit. They were at Detroit and gave up

942
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven. They were at Chicago, gave up thirty two.

943
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: They were at San Francisco gave up thirty three, and

944
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: at the Chargers and gave up twenty three. Wow. I mean,

945
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to look much further than that. Wow,

946
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: it's even so. I mean I realized schedule matters, man, No,

947
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: I know it matters. It shouldn't matter by two touchdowns

948
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: over the course of a season. Well, here's the thing too,

949
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: Usually in years past, two of those games, and most

950
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: notably the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers don't

951
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: go down there and score combined seventeen points. Right, they

952
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: don't lay an egg. They don't lay eggs. There's two

953
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: of them, and it was you know, there's only you know,

954
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: five or six of these games we're talking about, and

955
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: the Bills underperformed and the Browns. I think you can

956
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: say the Bills underperformance with a roster, that's right, half

957
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: a roster, and the Browns are scoring seventeen points. And

958
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: then they play the Texans on top of that. So yeah,

959
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: it's that's as much to do with it as anything.

960
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: I think. All right, I think that's a pretty good assessment.

961
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: I'll give that one to you, Steve. Good job. Um. Yeah,

962
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: the disparity is it's it's big, like in the span

963
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: of a season. You don't see wide swings like that

964
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: now and the perfect I'll give you a perfect example. Buffalo,

965
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 1: which has had the toughest schedule in football. At home,

966
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 1: they have the second best points allowed defense fourteen point

967
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: four points per game, just ahead of Miami in terms

968
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 1: of best home defenses in the NFL. On the road

969
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 1: their fifth. Now the number goes up, but not not

970
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: enormous two touchdowns. It goes from fourteen point four points

971
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: allowed in home games to eighteen points six points allowed

972
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: in road games. It's a four point difference. I get

973
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: four and a half point. I think it's a statistical

974
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: aberration because of the way their schedule felt fell and

975
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: the fact that you've got a couple of teams on

976
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: there that notoriously are pretty good scorers that didn't score

977
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:55,959
Speaker 1: or having down years, and you know they're yeah, so yeah,

978
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: and they're at Detroit, who is a team that can

979
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: really score but can't stop anybody. Yeah, you know, it's

980
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: just that's to me, that's it. Schedule matters. Schedule matters.

981
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: And I'll say this if going one step further and

982
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: you look at the Buffalo Bills and their schedule, They've

983
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: had the toughest schedule thing I've been I've been pounding

984
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: this dress. You have. Schedule matters, and the Bills are

985
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: in a four game on a four game winning streak

986
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: with you know, and you as you mentioned and rightfully so.

987
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: I mean they have scored fewer and fewer points as

988
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: this you know month has gone along, thirty one and

989
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: a win twenty eight, and a win twenty four and

990
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: a win and out twenty in a win this last

991
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: week against the Jets. They got hammered earlier and people were,

992
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: you know, kind of trying to you know, they're you're

993
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: splitting hairs with this team because they're so good, and

994
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: now they you know, they've got a four game winning

995
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: streak and everybody's like deducting from their expectations because of

996
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: style points. You know, just win. Hey, they won by

997
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: eight over the Cleveland Browns and the and the Detroit Lions.

998
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,879
Speaker 1: They didn't like. That was a tough game on the road.

999
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: Three the New England Patriots. They won by fourteen, and

1000
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: it could have been more. They won by fourteen, and

1001
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: it looked it felt like fifty, not only for the

1002
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: Bills fans, but for Patriot fans. Don't forget they had

1003
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: a forty one yard touchdown call back on a penalty.

1004
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: They were gasp. The Patriots were gasping to stale float

1005
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: in that game, and they just couldn't do it. And

1006
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: of course the Jet game, you're playing against the top

1007
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: five defense and cruddy conditions, so you're not going to

1008
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: score thirty eight. So I'm the thing about this the

1009
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: offense and we are they're doing. Oh my gosh, they

1010
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 1: signed Cole Beasley and John Brown. Listen, Hey, they're they're

1011
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: the best team in the conference, and they're there for

1012
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: a reason. They played the toughest schedule, They've been as

1013
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: injured as anybody in the league, and they've gotten not

1014
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: only gotten by doing it, they have thrived. I would

1015
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: I would consider they were I'll say it again, they

1016
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: were a quarterback sneak, executing a quarter back sneak for

1017
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: no gain away from being the number one seed. Eleven

1018
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: and two, they're ten and three and they're still the

1019
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: one seed. Yeah, so everybody take a deep breath and

1020
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: let's watch this game this week in a snowstorm together

1021
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: with Coco Hot Coco. Are there marshmallows and marshmallows an

1022
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: electric blanket? I don't need an electric blanket. I'll be okay.

1023
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 1: Hey those are money man, I got one. Oh, they're

1024
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: use it. They're great. Yeah, they are nice. My wife

1025
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: and one of those. It's always on high and I

1026
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: and I not for nothing. As a player, I remember

1027
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: looking down the road because we did this. We were

1028
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: in this exact scenario with the exact franchise coming down

1029
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: the stretch to win, either to get in or for

1030
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: the division title winner gets a home playoff game, probably

1031
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: against the other team. Yeah, well, it's all. Yeah, the

1032
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,919
Speaker 1: playoffs are a little bit more complex now that there's

1033
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: seventeen and it's a little further down the road than usual,

1034
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: but it's we're in week fifteen, and that's what this

1035
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: game is and I know this is a player when

1036
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: it saw it coming. You look, you know, we had

1037
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of pretty good players in my locker room.

1038
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: You could see it coming. They were let's go. It was.

1039
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: This is a this is a big game for players.

1040
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: It's almost treated like a playoff game itself. Yes, right, yeah,

1041
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: this is a chance to get in and make a

1042
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: statement about how good you are in that division. And

1043
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: plus you got a little bit of added fuel over

1044
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: the way that game went last time. I mean, you

1045
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: don't let me. Let me just tell you. It's not

1046
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: just the players either. You remember Ken Dorsey's a little

1047
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: fit he threw after the Miami game. You don't think

1048
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: he's thinking about that. Well, I think they felt they

1049
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: were an eyelash away from pulling off what was deemed

1050
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: by many to be an impossible task, beating a Dolphins

1051
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: team in extreme heat in which players were dropping like flies.

1052
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: And they when you only came to the game with

1053
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: like forty six to begin with, and you lost about

1054
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 1: eight by halftime, and you already had seven starters inactive

1055
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: due to injury, and then you and then you lose

1056
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: some of the guys that you had starting in the game.

1057
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown goes down. One of the guards went down

1058
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: late in the game. Mitch Morris went out of the

1059
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: game for a spell. Isaiah mackenzie's throwing up at halftime.

1060
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: They're getting Nieves everywhere. Um, Christian Benford breaks his hand

1061
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: and can only play on special teams. I mean it

1062
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: was it was one after another and Hyde were both

1063
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: there and they still almost won the game. Poye and

1064
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Hyde were both out. Yeps, wasn't there Edmonds? Yeah, good grief.

1065
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: It was long Stray lost by two. I said in

1066
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: my mock intro that lost three. There's only two. Yeah,

1067
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. Well, it was one of those things

1068
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: like you saw an animal house. Nevertheless, fix that on

1069
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: Twitter or something. Nevertheless, you're right. I mean the Bills

1070
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: have every had every reason to and and you know

1071
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: they had every excuse, but they also had every reason

1072
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: to be as frustrated as ken Dorsey was after that game.

1073
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Let's not forget this either, And Josh had that one

1074
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: to Isaim McKenzie that he just missed it, just missed it.

1075
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Let's not forget this. Josh Allen threw for four hundred

1076
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: yards in that game. He's probably not gonna throw it

1077
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: for four hundred, No, because he had sixty three pass attempts. Yes,

1078
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: and there's and it's gonna be twenty five degrees and snowing. Right,

1079
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,479
Speaker 1: it's twenty five and snow It's cold and bad out

1080
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm gonna be sitting up behind Murph in

1081
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: the radio booth. Yeah, I might bring a blank I

1082
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: might stuff and neck electric blanket in my backpack. It's cold, man,

1083
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: it is cold. We are going to take a break

1084
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: here though, because when we come back, practice is ended,

1085
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: and we expect to have one Tarn Johnson fresh off

1086
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: the field here in studio. Next on One Bill's Live,

1094
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: a little chilly practice there, and we were just talking

1095
01:02:58,240 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: about before he came on the air. It's like old

1096
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: home days right now, I mean you think about all that,

1097
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: you run down the list just from last season two

1098
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: now Jordan Phillips, Shack Laws and aj Klein a couple

1099
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, John Brown, now, Cole Beasley, Dean Marlo Man.

1100
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: I almost got the whole list, Dean Marlow. What's that

1101
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 1: feel like like when you've been you've been here the

1102
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: whole day time and then all that's like another guy's

1103
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: coming through the door, another guy's coming. What's that like?

1104
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, a little bit of day javu, you know

1105
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, I'm happy to have all

1106
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: those guys back, though, you know, I feel like obviously

1107
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: they helped us in the past, and I feel like

1108
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to do that moving forward. Yeah,

1109
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: you got And you said I was asking off the air.

1110
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: You're kind of in your process. You're going day at

1111
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: a time. This what happened in week three is kind

1112
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: of off your radar. You got this game to think about,

1113
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: this game plan to get ready for. So yeah, I

1114
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: mean that's just how I look at every game. You know, um,

1115
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: the next game is the most important, and this is

1116
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the next game, so I'm very excited for it. How

1117
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,479
Speaker 1: Cole looks in practice is going to go a long

1118
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: way in determining whether he's up for Saturday night's game.

1119
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: You know, on the part of the coaching staff, the

1120
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: athletic training staff, what have you. I'm sure you've probably

1121
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: got a few reps against him in practice today. Does

1122
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: he look like the same old Cole? Or to me

1123
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: he does? You know what I'm saying. He's still got

1124
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: that same quick twitch that that he's so famous for having.

1125
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: And um, yeah, I mean I'm excited that he's back,

1126
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: so hopefully we can get him out there and see

1127
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: what he does. You've you've been around and you've you know,

1128
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: played a bunch and you've seen these guys come in

1129
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: and out. What's the most what's the what you're worried

1130
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: about most when a guy comes off a little cold,

1131
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: like you know, John Brown came in a couple of

1132
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago, A J. Klein came in a couple of

1133
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Now Cole comes in. What's the biggest worry

1134
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: for the for the you know, for the I guess

1135
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: the sports science guys, and what were they worried about

1136
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,919
Speaker 1: with these guys coming in physically one? Um, just making

1137
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: sure that they're not going out there overworking themselves and

1138
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know what I'm saying. I don't

1139
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't know where they were before they were here,

1140
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, but just making sure they don't overwork themselves

1141
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: or strain something, because that's that's what tends to happen

1142
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: to some guys when they come back after being gone

1143
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: for a man, That's what happened to Xavier Roads. Right. Yeah, sure,

1144
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: I know that Week three is way in the rear

1145
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: view mirror, but you were one of the few guys

1146
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: that played one hundred percent of his snaps in that

1147
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: cauldron of one hundred and twenty degrees. Um, can you

1148
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: describe what that was like? Because I talked to Greg

1149
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: Russeau right after that game in the locker room. Here's

1150
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: a kid that played at the University of Miami. Yea.

1151
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Now they played a lot of their games at four,

1152
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: not one o'clock, And he said it's a huge difference,

1153
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: believe it or not, down there, but he said that

1154
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: was like one of the two hottest games he has

1155
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: ever played in back there in Week three. Where where

1156
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: would you rate it? And what was the most challenging

1157
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: thing about those specific conditions? I mean, it's tough because

1158
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: you're practicing in Buffalo and around that time it wasn't

1159
01:05:55,600 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: too too hot. It was probably around seventy sixty degrees. Yeah,

1160
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying here here in Buffalo, but

1161
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: the humidity is such a difference going to Miami and U.

1162
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough, it's hard to breathe, it's it's

1163
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: definitely a difference. But the good thing about it is

1164
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 1: they got to experience that when they come down here,

1165
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: not just the other way around. Yeah. Okay, so let's sorry, Steve,

1166
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: but let's let's move forward now because snow is in

1167
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: the forecast. Even write a kickoff, so if it becomes measurable.

1168
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: The challenge for a defensive player like yourself, the offensive

1169
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: player knows where he's going. You're in a reactive mode

1170
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: obviously as a cover player, how do you best keep

1171
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: yourself from losing ground when maybe your footing isn't ideal?

1172
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: Like do you balance your body differently to cover and

1173
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: plaster as best as you can when there's snow? Probably not?

1174
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean you still play the same Yeah, still, I

1175
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: still play the same way, But definitely there's some challenges

1176
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: with that because you definitely could slip, could I mean,

1177
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: and that's just that's just part of it. Hopefully that

1178
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Hopefully I don't take that wrong step or

1179
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: anything like that to put myself in a bad position.

1180
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: But I just gotta keep playing. So you've been, you've been.

1181
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: You're the Nickel corner. Have been? Is your fifth year? Yeah,

1182
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean you're a fixture now on that group with

1183
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, Mica and Jordan and Tredavious and you know Milano. Yeah,

1184
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean you're and you're probably maybe the only guy

1185
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: who's taking every snap you were supposed to this year.

1186
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: You're the only guy that's kind of still standing. What

1187
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: what does that give us some snopsis of this group

1188
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: this year? Your fifth year you're in the league. How

1189
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: is this team this year different than your four three,

1190
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: two and one. I'd say it's a it's a huge difference. Um.

1191
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: I'd say this year, I've been taking more of a

1192
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 1: leadership role, and um, just the fact that those guys

1193
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: haven't been on the field. It's been a little different

1194
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: with the safeties in the corner. It's just with communication

1195
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I mean, not taking anyway from

1196
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: those guys because I feel like they've done a good job,

1197
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. With Mike poll out, shadevious out,

1198
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So those guys came in

1199
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: and filled him very well. So I'm just happy we

1200
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: got trade back and Poe and Matt and pretty much

1201
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: most of the guys back, and I feel like that

1202
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: cohesive this we're gonna continue to go forward. You gotta

1203
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: shout out from one Michael Carter of the Jets, the

1204
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: running back, because he was asked after the game about

1205
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 1: his fumble play. You know, Damar punched it out there,

1206
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: but he said he had a chance for a big play,

1207
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: but he said, you made a good read on the

1208
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: play and screwed it all up basically for him, yea,

1209
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,480
Speaker 1: which sent him where he went and then he's lunging

1210
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: forward and that's when Damar punches it out. What walked

1211
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: me through that play before the fumble happened, She got

1212
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 1: a piece of him. Yeah. Yeah. So basically I'm in

1213
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: the box kind of like my linebackers show, and I

1214
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 1: get pullers and all the other linebackers are out, so

1215
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: it's me and the running back just basically one on one.

1216
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: I got dam right behind me, So I mean, I

1217
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: just hit him as hard as I can. Yeah, and

1218
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: he gets I mean he kind of gets over on

1219
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,640
Speaker 1: me a little bit, but luckily Dham was there to

1220
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: finish the play. Yeah, and this is that's one of

1221
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: the things. You have been the reason and coaches said

1222
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: it a number of times, or you know, Leslie Frasier

1223
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: said the reason the Bills are so because teams have

1224
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,919
Speaker 1: tried to pry you guys out of your nickel package,

1225
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: and Leslie has given you credit that you're the reason

1226
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: they don't have to because it plays like the one

1227
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 1: we're looking at you. I mean, you get it your

1228
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: box safety. Actually you're a box corner. And because of that,

1229
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: because of your ability and willingness to do that, Yeah,

1230
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: teams can't don't dictate personnel groups to the Bills defense.

1231
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: And you know that's you dictate to them. Yeah, you

1232
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: dictate to them. What does what benefits? Have you heard

1233
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier and those guys talk about that giving you

1234
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: over the course of the season. Why is that important?

1235
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: I feel like because a lot of times with teams

1236
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: try to do a spec now is they'll put big

1237
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: people on the field and spread you out. You know

1238
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, just trying to maybe try to get

1239
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: a small guy on a linebacker or something like that,

1240
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: and uh, really just trying to pass the ball on

1241
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: you with big personnel. And um, I think I'm I'm

1242
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,719
Speaker 1: pretty physical enough to be in there. Obviously I'm smaller,

1243
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm physical enough to play in

1244
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: the box, you know. And if they run the ball

1245
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: with the bigger people versus I mean, if they're spread out,

1246
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: then obviously I feel like I can go. Yeah, exactly.

1247
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 1: I know. You know, you guys have a lot of

1248
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: respect for this Dolphins offense. It's been high flying pretty

1249
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: much since after you guys played him the first time

1250
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 1: and after Twa got back in the lineup. The last

1251
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: two weeks have been a little bit of a struggle

1252
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: for them. So as you're reviewing film and you see

1253
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: some of these struggles, Obviously, coach Fraser handles a game

1254
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: plan and he'll tell you what you guys are gonna do.

1255
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: But what is the reaction when you know you're seeing

1256
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: all these highlights over the six weeks stretch, when we're

1257
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,759
Speaker 1: on a winning streak, and then you see two games

1258
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: back to back like this with two very different defensive

1259
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: approaches by the way. I mean, you know, San Franz

1260
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: playing their zone and they do their thing and they

1261
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: win that way, and then the Chargers say, we're gonna

1262
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: press him up and go and shut off everything in

1263
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. When you see two different

1264
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: approaches work, I'm just curious, like, how do you process

1265
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: all of that? Like, Oh, these guys stopped him with this,

1266
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: these guys stopped him with that, Like there's a whole

1267
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,680
Speaker 1: different there's a menu of options, it seems. How do

1268
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 1: you interpret like that stuff? I mean, you just you

1269
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: take watch the film and you just take what you

1270
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: learn from from what those two teams did, and even

1271
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 1: the team's previous that had maybe some success against them,

1272
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, so really just taking what we learned even

1273
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: our game, what we learn from our game, and just

1274
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: taking with it and just trying to tweak some things

1275
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: to be better at it. Well, it's good having you on.

1276
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:49,679
Speaker 1: I appreciate thanks for coming in after practice and stuff.

1277
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: Congratulations on a great season. I'm glad. He's got to

1278
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: feel good that you're the one guy who's been on

1279
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,600
Speaker 1: the field. I don't think you're the only guy in

1280
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: the back seven who's who's not missed any time. Is

1281
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah, thankfully, Yeah, I'll knock on wood for you. Sure.

1282
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 1: You know how important you are out there. Thanks for

1283
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 1: the time, Terran. We appreciate it. We're gonna turn now

1284
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 1: to the post practice podium where Cole Beasley is addressing

1285
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: the media. Let's go there now. I just knew I

1286
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: still wanted to play. UM. You know, the retirement was

1287
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: more of UM, it wasn't the situation. I thought it

1288
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: was gonna be going to Tampa. UM. So all I

1289
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: knew was h that wasn't where I wanted to be.

1290
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: So UM went home from there. But you know, if

1291
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 1: I've still been working out, still wanted to play. UM

1292
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: reached out to Brandon, you know I did. I didn't

1293
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: like the way things ended here. UM. I told him that.

1294
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: And you know when I first got here, UH, my

1295
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:49,599
Speaker 1: me and my family fell in love with this place.

1296
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 1: So UM just wanted to get back to that and

1297
01:12:52,800 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 1: UH ended off right, UM a lot of different reasons. UM.

1298
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: You know, as we know, you know, last two years. UH,

1299
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:11,679
Speaker 1: we're difficult on everybody. UM. But you know, I don't

1300
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: really want to go into all the things that we

1301
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: talked about, UM with uh me and Brandon and coach McDermott.

1302
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 1: But you know, there needed to be some conversations there

1303
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: that that we needed to have. And um, you know,

1304
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just happy that you know, we all

1305
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: could do that, um as men and and uh and

1306
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:36,560
Speaker 1: talk about it and resolve issues if you rejoin the

1307
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,640
Speaker 1: teammates and enjoin the team out here. Do you have

1308
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: a sense that that all of that is kind of

1309
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,679
Speaker 1: behind you guys? Does anything linger? Oh? Yeah, for sure? No, Yeah,

1310
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think I would be here if

1311
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: it if it were so, um, you know, and I

1312
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: never there was, there's never any problem with with teammates

1313
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: in locker room. Love these guys to death. We've been

1314
01:13:56,360 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: talking the whole season. Um, I've missed them so much.

1315
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: You know, the bond that I built, I built with

1316
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: these teammates here are knee bond with any team that

1317
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: I've I've ever been. I mean I only played for two,

1318
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: but um, you know it's a different team every year. Uh.

1319
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: I played seven with the Cowboys, but the three here

1320
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: just left a huge bark on me. And and you

1321
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: know it's hard being away from the guys. The market

1322
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: wasn't I'm sure you left here. I'm thinking you were

1323
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 1: going to be in a camp pretty so yeah, well

1324
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: there were opportunities, um, just not the ones that I

1325
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:37,679
Speaker 1: really wanted. Um. So I mean I was not surprised

1326
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:41,640
Speaker 1: a little bit, yes, Um, but you know, it is

1327
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 1: what it is. Um. But I'm happy to be back here.

1328
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the place I belong. Um.

1329
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: You know, being somewhere different for a little bit just

1330
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: didn't it didn't feel right to me. So, UM, I'm

1331
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 1: glad to be back here with with all the guys

1332
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with, and um, you know I missed him

1333
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: to death. So it's awesome. Like I said, exactly your

1334
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: rage when you reached such heights in your career that

1335
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 1: you do have to kind of have football away from

1336
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: you for a while, and what it means and maybe

1337
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: how your priorities changed a little bit. Can you go

1338
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 1: through that? Yeah, No, that's that's that's a great question,

1339
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: because you know, when you when you retire, you know,

1340
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of things to think about, and um,

1341
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 1: you know a lot of you know, thought about the

1342
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: past and and what happened or how someone should have

1343
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: handled things, you know, and um, there were a lot

1344
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 1: of things that I want back um, and you know,

1345
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to to sit there and watch people

1346
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 1: playing a game you love when you still you know,

1347
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: have the drive to do that. Um. Like I was retired,

1348
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: but I didn't want it that way, So it was

1349
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: it was it was hard just watching football every week

1350
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: and especially seeing the guys I missed being you know,

1351
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: just the this warm ups, like that's some of my

1352
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: favorite times, just with the guys in the locker room

1353
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: getting ready for game. I just missed that so much,

1354
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: and um, and then just playing the game itself. But yeah,

1355
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,680
Speaker 1: you definitely think about a lot of things and it

1356
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: puts things into perspective for you. And um, it's a

1357
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 1: humbling experience for sure watching it and the guys of

1358
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 1: a former players to watch a light of them. Uh yeah, yeah,

1359
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: it's hard to see everything, um watching it on TV.

1360
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, it wasn't it wasn't any I could

1361
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: I would have done this or I could have done that.

1362
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't that. But I watched him every week. I

1363
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: watched the Cowboys every week too, you know, just because

1364
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: there's guys I still talk to from there as well. Um.

1365
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I definitely kept um track of everybody and

1366
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: just you know, love to watch the games because we

1367
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: would talk about it. Um, I would talk about it

1368
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: with some of the players. Like I said, I was

1369
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: constantly talking to everybody here, um the whole season. So

1370
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, it's it's kind of see

1371
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: how I feel today and um, you know, we'll see

1372
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: where everything goes. But I don't I don't have too

1373
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: much information on that right now. So I think grandon mention,

1374
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: you were playing some basketball, You've were working out, trying

1375
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 1: to keep in shape, and obviously you would have familiarity

1376
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 1: with the how oft how familiar is this offense to

1377
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: you within a lot of that too, It's yeah, it's

1378
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 1: still it's still the same. They just called plays a

1379
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: little differently, but it's um, terminology is still the same,

1380
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 1: and it's just really getting used to hearing everything again.

1381
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot of moving parts, uh

1382
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: that you have to listen to with motions and stuff,

1383
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: and that changes where you are in the formation. So

1384
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: it's just getting getting back used to hearing everything and

1385
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: then lining up. But um, the offense is still the same.

1386
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,600
Speaker 1: And you know, my first five or six years in

1387
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: the league, that's you know, training all I used to

1388
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 1: do is I would work out for like an hour

1389
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:48,919
Speaker 1: and a half and I would play pick up basketball.

1390
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't touch a route the whole offseason until OTAs Um.

1391
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: That's how I trained my first six years. So because

1392
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 1: it's I mean, really, I played quarterback in high school,

1393
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: so me playing the slot was all just from from

1394
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: playing basketball. Is just trying to figure out how to

1395
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: get open um. So a lot of it comes from that.

1396
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: You were, Oh, yeah, yeah, I would. Well that's another

1397
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: reason why I played basketball, because I remember in high

1398
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: school going from football to basketball, I'd be dying on

1399
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 1: the court at first. You know, you wouldn't think it

1400
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 1: was that much different, but I ran a lot in

1401
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: high school playing football, so you wouldn't think it was

1402
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: that big of a difference. But it's definitely a different

1403
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, conditioning conversations with Brandon and Sean kind of

1404
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: talking through some things. You're pretty polarizing with the fan

1405
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,560
Speaker 1: base too at times. What's your message to them? I

1406
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of people that supported you, some

1407
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 1: that maybe were frustrated at times. What's your message to

1408
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: all of them? Yeah, No, I love the fan base here.

1409
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: There was, um, there were some times last year where

1410
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: where I would get some stuff from people and it

1411
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: would be a little frustrating just because you know, before

1412
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:55,759
Speaker 1: it was it wasn't like that. So it was a change,

1413
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, and nobody's perfect. You know. I didn't handle

1414
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: everything how you know, how I wanted to, and you know,

1415
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: a lot of that was was a big reason I

1416
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,879
Speaker 1: wanted to come back as well. You know, I got um,

1417
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's really the internet world, you know,

1418
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 1: with that because outside of there, it was nothing you

1419
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 1: know negative for the most part um and you know,

1420
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: most of it was just thinking about my kids and

1421
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, them having to deal with things too. I

1422
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 1: mean there was a there was a time last year

1423
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: and it really it really killed me and uh, I think, uh,

1424
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 1: my son, you know, there was a there was a

1425
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 1: kid that came up to him and and UH told

1426
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 1: him that he couldn't come to his his birthday party

1427
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: because his mom didn't like me. And my son had

1428
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: no idea what they have, no idea, what's going I don't,

1429
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't. We don't talk about anything political or anything.

1430
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 1: You know. There he's he was seven years or seven

1431
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: or six years old, seven years old at the time

1432
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: and you know, we didn't involve them in that. So

1433
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 1: him hearing something like that, it was just like he

1434
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: had no idea why though, you know, so it was

1435
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: it was difficult, man, um, Like I said, I just

1436
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 1: want to wanted to write a lot of wrong around

1437
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: here and be with teammates and play football again and

1438
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 1: just get back to football. Obviously you wanted to keep

1439
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: playing football all. Is there anything that changed on your

1440
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: perspective of like, is that a two way straight of

1441
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: both talking about how it ended it coming? How did that?

1442
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I don't understand what you're asking. Those

1443
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: conversations with Brandon and yeah, did anything change into your

1444
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: perspective of how things have been here? Well? Well, yeah,

1445
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: you know there was, Like I said, there was a

1446
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: lot of things that you know, I wish I could

1447
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: have done differently. So we we talked about a few

1448
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: of those things and got it sorted out. I was

1449
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: just gonna say, Isaiah said something like the floor is

1450
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: all yours coming back. You play this slot position, and

1451
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: it seems to me like that's still a hard thing

1452
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 1: for teams to find the guys that can really play that.

1453
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: Do you believe you bring something different in that sense

1454
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 1: that they is talented as the other guy's own and

1455
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,719
Speaker 1: maybe it is missing or that you feel it fits

1456
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: you the best. Uh, well, you know they've done a

1457
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: good job. It's not like you know they're I mean

1458
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: they're ten and three right now, right, So I mean

1459
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 1: it's not like it's I'm coming to a bad football team.

1460
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're good in all areas. But um,

1461
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: like like you said, I have I have played it

1462
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: for a long time. I got a good understanding for

1463
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: defenses and how they work, and I know how to

1464
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: manipulate defenders and um create more space within whatever defense

1465
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: they're they're playing. UM, And I've I've been able to

1466
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: do that for a long time with playing quarterback. My

1467
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 1: dad was my head coach. UM, so I had a

1468
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: good knowledge of coverages and how they worked early and

1469
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: not everybody gets to grow up like that. And you know,

1470
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: have your dad behind you kind of you, kind of

1471
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: schooling you up on everything. So UM, I feel like

1472
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 1: I can do that better than anyone, um, you know,

1473
01:21:56,400 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: as far as reading coverages and and a dad to

1474
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: react to what they're doing and then control and how

1475
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: they play it. So, UM, you know, I feel like

1476
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: I can still do that for sure. All right. That's

1477
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: Coal basically addressing the media. Clearly humbled by the way

1478
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: his tenure ended with the Bills, and you know all

1479
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: of the engagements he had on social media dealing with

1480
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: the COVID situation, and it looks like he really did

1481
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 1: want to atone for a lot of that stuff in

1482
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,639
Speaker 1: coming back to the team. He said himself he wasn't

1483
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 1: happy with the way it ended. Yeah, I get it totally,

1484
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:38,639
Speaker 1: even not just for him, for his family as well

1485
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: in his football career, and he had too many I

1486
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: think he had probably had too many good time. You

1487
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: could tell by the things he was saying about the

1488
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 1: players and the games that he had too many good

1489
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,759
Speaker 1: times here, both on the field and with his family

1490
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 1: and professionally and personally to see it end the way

1491
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 1: it did and just just just not come back. So

1492
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 1: it's I'm sure he's very anxious to come in and

1493
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: and gain some good feelings back about how it was

1494
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. It certainly sounds like he has the

1495
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: right mindset going forward now, and we'll see where it

1496
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: goes whether he plays this week or whether it has

1497
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: to wait until next week. Either way, Cole Beasley back

1498
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: in the fold. We'll take a break here. When we

1499
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 1: come back, Josh Allen addressing the media, we'll get his

1500
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: thoughts on the upcoming game Saturday night against the Dolphins.

1501
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 1: Next here on one Bills Live, presented by Collied of Health,

1502
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:35,439

1503
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 1: Bills Live, going straight to the post practice podium once again.

1504
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: This time it's Josh Allen addressing the media. Who's h

1505
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: It's good to have him back. Obviously we've missed him,

1506
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 1: just his presence. You know, everybody in lock room loves

1507
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: that guy. Now. I kind of found out about it

1508
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 1: last week. Being kind of told me like, hey, we're

1509
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: thinking about doing this. You know. I was like, I'm

1510
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm all for it, and I know that the guys

1511
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room would feel the same way. UM,

1512
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, happy that I'm back. Actually, eighty two sets

1513
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: perceptions his last two years here, So obviously you've got

1514
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: a nice feel for him. Do you expect you could

1515
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 1: pick that up relatively quickly here if he gets out

1516
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: the field? I definitely think so. I think you know,

1517
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: the rapport that we've had with each other the last

1518
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: few years. Um, again, the communication that you know, he

1519
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 1: sees the field like a quarterback when he's out there,

1520
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 1: you know, especially in his own coverages, and just being

1521
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: able to trust him. Obviously it's gonna it's not gonna

1522
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 1: be perfect right away, but to kind of go back

1523
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: and maybe sit down and watch some film and just

1524
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: talk about some different things maybe that we're doing. Um. Again,

1525
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's playing or not. I don't

1526
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 1: know really what the plan is, um, But if he's

1527
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:49,799
Speaker 1: ready to go, we'll be ready to go with him. Um.

1528
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's it field to day. I think he's

1529
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: ready to go out there this week if given the opportunity.

1530
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think so, that's I think that is

1531
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: U remains to be seen. I think it's really relying

1532
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 1: upon him and how he's feeling too. UM. Don't want

1533
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: to rush somebody out there, and especially if you know,

1534
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: not sure what the game plan is and things of

1535
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: that nature. So again, just making sure that we have

1536
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: the ultimate trust when we put him out there. He

1537
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 1: knows what's going on, and I got no no doubt

1538
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: that he does. But again we'll see already. Yeah, absolutely,

1539
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: this morning he said that that goal is unique and

1540
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: that he sees the field like you do. Um, now

1541
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 1: I think I understand that. Can you kind of take

1542
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: me inside that though how it actually applies you know,

1543
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 1: within game and it leads to maybe some of the

1544
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:40,919
Speaker 1: success that Yeah, when it comes to his own coverages,

1545
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 1: like he he knows where defenders should be at, he

1546
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 1: knows leverages, he knows what windows that I'm looking at, um,

1547
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: and he's just got such a good feel you know,

1548
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: if he if he's not seeing me, he's going to

1549
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:57,480
Speaker 1: find a window where he can see me. And um,

1550
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: again just smart where he knows when it's man its zone.

1551
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 1: We run different concepts with him because he can again

1552
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: he can read basically two guys at one time, um,

1553
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 1: which not everybody can do. It's not the easiest thing, um.

1554
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 1: But definitely some concepts that maybe we'll bring back if

1555
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: he's if he's back, but again, who knows if that's

1556
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna happen to replace that obviously taking nothing away from

1557
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 1: anyone else, and obviously you're dealing with an injury with Davison,

1558
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: But as you look at running this offense, to have

1559
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 1: that element back, how valuable of that relative to to

1560
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 1: everything that you guys praying? Yeah, Well, I think our

1561
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: guys have been doing a really good job. I think, Um,

1562
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Isaiah, you know, taking advantage from some

1563
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 1: man demand reps inside, running away from guys, and that's

1564
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: that's what he's that's what he's really good at. Throwing

1565
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 1: Steph in the slot a few times. UM this season

1566
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: has been really beneficial for us as well too. UM.

1567
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just another option for us, you know,

1568
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:50,599
Speaker 1: for for him to go out there and be an

1569
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: extension of the run game. UM, maybe do some again,

1570
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: just some some older concepts that maybe we haven't ran

1571
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: that much this year. UM. But again, I think I

1572
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: think we feel comfortable with where we're at with him

1573
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: and with the other guys that we got going. As

1574
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,600
Speaker 1: you've looked at the tape, as we up of Dolphins.

1575
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: What is different about them right now with Bradley Chubbs. Um, again,

1576
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 1: I think they're they're playing really well. I think um

1577
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 1: Phillips is playing at a high level right now. Obviously

1578
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: bringing in trading for a guy like Bradley chub who's,

1579
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,839
Speaker 1: you know, one of the premier pass rushers in the league. Um.

1580
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 1: They're safety number eight halland is flying around. He makes

1581
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 1: a lot of plays he's their captain. UM makes all

1582
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 1: their calls for them, and he's he's flying around. He's

1583
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 1: a he's a heck of a young talent too. And

1584
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 1: again they do such a good job of getting to

1585
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback and making um, let me getting hard for

1586
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: for the quarterback to see things. And they're you know,

1587
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 1: bringing pressure from this way and bringing it from that way.

1588
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: And Um, again, we just got to be on our

1589
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 1: p's and q's, understand our base rules, UM, and I

1590
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: gotta be uh spot on with protection and if we're

1591
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna make any adjustments to their pressure that they were

1592
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: after him almost every spat, Are you expecting that you're

1593
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:05,640
Speaker 1: gonna probably see something like that? I mean, I'd like

1594
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 1: to say yes, but who knows. Um, you know, these

1595
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 1: division games, especially when you play teams twice and we've

1596
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 1: played we've played them a lot, um, you know, and

1597
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 1: they know us and we know them, and you know,

1598
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: I can sit here and say they're gonna bring you

1599
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:21,599
Speaker 1: zero every play and they might not bring it at all.

1600
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: And so again we're gonna have to justin game and

1601
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: feel the flow of what what their game plan is

1602
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: going to be. But again, the first few drives would

1603
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,639
Speaker 1: be a fill out process and just kind of understand,

1604
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, again trusting my eyes, trusting the protection, trusting

1605
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: the rules that we have, and um again making adjustments

1606
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 1: as we go. It is gonna be a cat and

1607
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 1: mouse game with that Dolphins defense. You know, they brought

1608
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 1: pressure a good amount of the time back in Week

1609
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: three and Josh was killing him with the checkdowns, absolutely

1610
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:53,800
Speaker 1: killing him. Singletary had like seven eight catches in that

1611
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 1: game because he kept utilizing the checkdown options. Cook had

1612
01:28:57,160 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 1: a couple of catches in that game too, and he

1613
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 1: took a lot of the short dump off stuff and

1614
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:03,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day he's got four hundred

1615
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 1: yards passing. Yeah, it was a big day for Josh.

1616
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 1: They had a ton of snaps in that game too,

1617
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: and they dominated time of possession and actually, ironically, I

1618
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 1: think that costs him because they were out there so

1619
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: much in the heat, they never got a chance to recover.

1620
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: And the Bill's defense really did a nice job on

1621
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins as well. So yeah, I'm I'm anxious to

1622
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: see this game. I don't know, We'll see We'll see

1623
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,599
Speaker 1: you tomorrow with Field Yates and Thurman Thomas
