00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: and everybody, John Murphy here, Steve Tasker ready for the show,

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of getting settled in here. Yeah, I did the

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: same thing. I forgot my I forgot my earpiece to it.

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: Every back and get it. But we're preoccupied. We got

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: a lot going on. We got them. Steve's got a

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: game in New England coming up on Sunday, a lot

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: of moving parks. We got hockey on the mine, right,

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: we both I participated. You may have followed along with this,

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: but Steve is a long time Saber season ticket holder,

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: right a couple of years at two years, two years,

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: and he is in decades. He's recruited me to buy

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: some of his seats, so I did. I'm in for

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: three games where you had our ticket draft last night,

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: and I gotta say, Steve, like most teams say after

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: the NFL draft, I couldn't believe that the games that

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: I wanted were there. When it came my time to pick,

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: I had six games targeted, and I got three of

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: the six. Your mock draft came through. I can't forget.

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm happy with my picks. Nothing before the first of

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: the year. Figure I'd let the football season clear out

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: and then get get into hockey after the first of

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: the year. Just nice. A couple of weeknight games in

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: one Saturday night game. It's a nice schedule. I'm excited

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: about my schedule. You, on the other hand, have like

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: twenty one games. Yeah, you're gonna need to get an

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: apartment down. Yeah. The thing is too because you know,

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: because of us, and I gotta do my games up

37
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: until late January. I gotta do them all weekdays. I

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: can't take any of the Saturday Sunday game, yeah, because

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: I'll be out of town traveling on the weekend. So

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: it was fun though. It had fun with your son

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: Deak and your buddies, and always got a couple of

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: beers involved, just a couple, which is fine. It was

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: a good good got me, actually, you managed to do it.

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: I thought was impossible. Steve got me a little bit

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: excited for the hockey season. I haven't been excited for

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Yeah. I admire you and your

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: stance against the against the tank. I do. And now

48
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: that you've made you have made your point. I made

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: my piece. It's like you're gonna slowly let them earn back. Yeah,

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: you're free time. Yeah, that's great. It's it's a great move.

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: I think it's the right way to do it, if

52
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: that's the way you feel about it. I felt about it.

53
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: I still I don't care about the tank anymore. I

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: didn't like it when it went on. I didn't like it.

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: After nobody, I don't think anybody liked it. I think

56
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: it was a lot of people have that that rationale

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: that it was a necessary evenly get to where they

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: wanted to go. We'll see if it does didn't work.

59
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: It didn't work. Yeah, it didn't work. And then yeah,

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: even when they started, and I'll tell you the truth,

61
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: that's as a football as a guy in another sport,

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: I think that they were. I think that organization was

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: scarred by that when it was when it became evident.

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: I think, I think, and I told I might have

65
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: told you this. You almost have to clear everybody out

66
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: of the building after you do that, because if you

67
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: have anybody, I mean, if you get have an atmosphere

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: where you're you know, under the table doing all this,

69
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: you know, trying to you can't have anybody all of

70
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: a sudden say hey, I'm gonna lay it on the line.

71
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: But because you know, two years ago you weren't landed

72
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: on the line from me, you weren't trying to give

73
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: me the best chance to win, why should I give

74
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: you the best chance? I think you almost have to

75
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: fire everybody involved with that, you know, particularly the players

76
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: pretty much have right, I mean, you have to. I'll

77
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: send you to a dark place it was place. Yeah,

78
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: I do too, And I'm the section of I think

79
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: everything I like and I like Phil Howsley, I like

80
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, I like the moves they made, like the

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: guys on the team. I like the atmosphere. Yeah, so

82
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm back on board with it. I think

83
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: they're a good place. Now we'll see it and taking

84
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: me along with you. I've got a couple of games,

85
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: and I tell you I have a stake in the

86
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: game now. Even back when when I was playing for

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: the I got into the Buffalo Bills and they weren't

88
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: very good. In nineteen eighty six eighty seven they kind

89
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: of made some strides, but then in eighty eight they

90
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: took a huge step forward and didn't know how good

91
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: they could be. Eighty nine they got back in the playoffs,

92
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: and you're talking about your teams. Yeah, you're calling your teams, Yeah, okay, us,

93
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: thank you. The fun part of it is it's a

94
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: little bit like we're at with the Bills now. It's

95
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: like you feel like, man, we're on the rise now, right,

96
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: So it's the fun part is climbing out of it

97
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: and doing unexpected things like I win last night, last

98
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: weekend Minnesota. Those are the fun ones, man, the ones

99
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: when you expect to win and things are going good, Wow,

100
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: we did it, you know that kind of a little

101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: bit like last year making the playoff run unexpectedly. That's

102
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the fun part of it because then I believe I

103
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: was in this part too. When you've been winning for

104
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: so long with the Bills, like we did back then.

105
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: Losses crush you. They crush you because every law this

106
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: is a completely unexpected event. You know, most coaches that

107
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: I know in most sports will tell you that the

108
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: losses you feel those uh and the feeling stays longer

109
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: than if the euphoria or the elation of a victory.

110
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Do you find that to be the case. You feel

111
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: the losses more and that feeling stays with you longer

112
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: than after a win. At the end of my career,

113
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: it was you could not recover from losses. You couldn't

114
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: recover from them, and the winds that you got weren't satisfying.

115
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Why is that you weren't saded, they weren't satisfying. And

116
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: that's what really, that's what really the emotion that, that's

117
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: really what drained the desire to play longer. I mean,

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: I retired. I was very lucky in mirand I retired.

119
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: They didn't kick me out, and then I decided to

120
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: retire after I was nobody wanted me and I walked out.

121
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 1: I think and Wade would have let me play another

122
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: year if I would want them to. But I was done.

123
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: You know, I was really done. And I think that

124
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: was a large contributor to my mindset of just being

125
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 1: ready to say goodbye. The loss felt worse the loss.

126
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: I couldn't recover from the losses, and the winds didn't.

127
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: What do you mean mentally, Yeah, I mean it's just

128
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: they were so disappointing. Uh, and so disheartening. It's not

129
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: listen ninety seven. Uh, it was a bad year. It

130
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: was a bad year. Yeah. Todd Collins was a quarterback. Jims.

131
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: It was a full year without Jim Kelly at at

132
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: the Helm, and things changed so drastically from what it

133
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: had been. Just you know two years before that. It

134
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: was I couldn't exist like that. I was ready to

135
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: walk away. Wells, you know a lot of people are

136
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, bills on the way up now, you

137
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: would think, and Sunday's game, we'll have a long way.

138
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: We'll go a long way towards explaining to us exactly

139
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: what the twenty eighteen Buffalo bills are all about. One

140
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: more sports I've been talking about before we get into

141
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: the business of the day is Ryder Cup. We headed

142
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: on in the office the other day. I did not

143
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: watch the early early morning morning rounds, but we both

144
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: were keeping an eye on the foursomes, the afternoon rounds

145
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: over there, the mid morning rounds here, the early rounds

146
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: went great, right, US up three one in the early rounds,

147
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: but then they lost all four matches in the afternoon

148
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: rounds over there in France, the US is down five

149
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: to three for the first day. Then they'll have a

150
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: two man, they'll have a four ball tomorrow, and then

151
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: I think a scramble tomorrow afternoon, and then they'll go

152
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: into the singles matches on Sunday and that's that'll be.

153
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Then that'll be the Rider Cup that they got crushed

154
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: this afternoon, crushed in the afternoon. More to say, yeah, wow,

155
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: I'll see how it plays. I'll get a chance to

156
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: watch some of that over the weekend, probably before Sunday.

157
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Bills and Packers. The injury list from both teams going

158
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: to be interesting. The Bills out on the practice field

159
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: right now, the grass practice field here at one Bills

160
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: Drive La Sean McCoy. We are expecting he will remain limited,

161
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: but we also are expecting that he'll be ready to play.

162
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: Gotta keep an eye in the Buffalo tight end injury list.

163
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Charles Clay did not practice yesterday with got a couple

164
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: of nagging injuries, and Jason Croom was limited yesterday with

165
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: a knee injury. We'll see how that plays out over

166
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: the weekend. Out in Green Bay. The Packers, I think

167
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: the dealer they do not practice on Friday, so they'll

168
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: probably be issuing some sort of injury report today. It'll

169
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: probably look a lot like yesterday, and that means they'll

170
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: probably show Aaron Rodgers as limited and most likely ready

171
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: to go. But they have other issues too, offensive line issues,

172
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: offensive line injuries on their injury report and at linebacker too.

173
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: So it's only four weeks in, but it seems like

174
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: injuries are going to be of consequence in this game.

175
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: It is a big game. We're going to talk about

176
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: it a lot today. Mark Kelso, color analysts on the

177
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: Bills Radio, and then Work joins us about ten minutes

178
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: from now to give us his take on what to

179
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: expect on Sunday. Greg Cosell from NFL Matchup on ESPN.

180
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: He's got some interesting stats about the league involving the

181
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: Bills as well through the first three weeks, and of

182
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: course he'll give us his view comprehensive film breakdown view

183
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: of the Bills, the Packers, and some of the other

184
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, including the Rams. Our producer Jeff

185
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: Coltnik asked me on the way and the Rams the

186
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: best team in the NFL. I think looks like they're

187
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: in the conversation, that's for sure. And I'm having trouble

188
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: think of somebody else who might be in that conversation,

189
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: and I don't. I mean, yeah, the Dolphins are three

190
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: and oh, but come on, you know, come on, they

191
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: they haven't played the Vikings, they played Oakland, they played Tennessee,

192
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: and they played Jet the Jets, so the competition hasn't

193
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: been there for the Jets for the Dolphins to really

194
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: prove themselves as being that team. But the Rams, they are.

195
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: They look they look good on the field, and they

196
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: look good on paper and just leave it at that.

197
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: They are really clicking. And Jared Golf put together a

198
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: game last night on National TV. I mean they drew.

199
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: They drew a ten point seven rating last night. Everybody

200
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: wanted to see that game. They're up. That was up

201
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: eight percent from the year before. So everybody wants to

202
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: see the Jet the Rams play, and they're worth watching.

203
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: They're really worth watching. It was fun to it. It

204
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: was team in the league. They're another three and o team. Yeah,

205
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: I could say I'd like to see that game. They're

206
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: gonna play in November eighth. I believe the Chiefs and

207
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: the Rams. I'd love to see that game. Yeah, but

208
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: I want to see it now because by then, you know,

209
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: their mahomes might be out, or you know, golf might

210
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: be heard or all these you know, everything changes by

211
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: then another month. But yeah, that's going to be a

212
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: really good game. It looks like right now, I want

213
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: to talk a lot today. As I said, great Cosal

214

Speaker 1: Mark Kelso and Lorenzo Alegender joins us at two. We're

215
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: gonna talk a lot today about the Bills and the Packers.

216
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: And our Twitter poll today deals with this game. It's

217
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: up on Twitter right now. We've got several hundred responses

218
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: already for here. It is for the Bills to beat

219
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the Packers on Sunday, which long shot would help the most.

220

Speaker 1: You can vote on the Twitter poll. You can tweet

221
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,560

Speaker 1: on the phone line eight oh three oh five fifty,

224
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: the number outside Buffalo toll free one eight eight eight

225
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty for the Bills will beat

226
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: the Packers Sunday, Which long shot would help the most.

227
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: We offer a couple of suggestions there and right now.

228
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: In the early going. Forty seven percent of you say,

229
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy run game one hundred and fifty yards that

230
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: would help the most. Twenty nine percent of you say

231
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers throwing a couple of picks would help the most.

232
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Twenty two percent of you saying Josh Allen hitting down

233
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: the deep ball would help the most. Kind of an

234
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: unexpected outcome, which long shot, I don't expected outcome would

235
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: help the most for the Bills to win. Already getting

236
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: some responses, including this one, see we got we got

237
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: a Twitter critic already in the early going here. Yeah,

238
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: you know how people like twa Colten burn our tweets

239
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: and which long shot lol our own our own Twitter

240
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: even thinks it's impossible. Wrong. We're not saying it's impossible.

241
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: We're saying which unlikely event, which thing that might not

242
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: you might not bet on. I don't think if anybody

243
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: would guarantee that McCoy's gonna get one hundred fifty yards

244
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: on the running game, they haven't done it anything close

245
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: to that yet. Rogers has not thrown an interception, So

246
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: for him to get two games or get two in

247
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: one game, that's a long shot. Deep passes from Josh

248
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Allen haven't seen that yet. They haven't connected yet. That's

249
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: a long shot. We don't think it's impossible, wrong, Colton

250
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: burn Hard, which long shot? Lool our own Twitter even

251
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: thinks it is impossible. Twitter is great, Twitter is fantastic.

252
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: It's just it's such quality people on there pleading you

253
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: and me, right, But I mean it's just uh, you,

254
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: that's the problem. That's why I'd rather have people call

255
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 1: then respond on Twitter, because you can misinterpret things so

256
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: easily on Twitter. It's like texting. People call him. You know,

257
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: you text him and you're not quite sure what does

258
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: he mean by that? What are they say? Yeah, you know,

259
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Colton Burnhard, you missed it, You missed the point. Give

260
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: us a call. We got phone lines open. Eight fifty twelve,

261
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: three one, eight fifty two. I got to tell you though,

262
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: as it is usual, we've noticed this is week four,

263
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: and you know, with what happened last week in Minnesota,

264
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: you've now you've really got to say, wow, how how

265
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: much more are you looking forward to this week's game

266
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: than we were seven days ago? Yesterday? We've kind of

267
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: dreaded it seven days ago after the way of weeks

268
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: one and two went, and how was gonna go and

269
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: what was going to happen and the vikings are you know, Wow?

270
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: That changes everything. Here's what I think the long shot

271
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: experience that could help the Bills the most on Sunday.

272
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: And this is the case in most games, but there's

273
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: some history here. Takeaways. If the Bills get some takeaways,

274
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: and that's why one of the responses on the Twitter

275
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: poll is Rogers two interceptions. Takeaways are critical here. Look,

276
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: Green Bay has a very effective offensive machine. They have

277
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: a new coordinator Joe Philbin, who's actually their old new coordinator,

278
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: but a very good They've got a great quarterback and

279
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: enough firepower on offense to do some damage if the

280
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: Bills take it away. Different story. The Bills took it

281
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: away three times last week, right, a couple of fumble recoveries,

282
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: the one kick interception by Mulano, and it was I

283
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: was looking at this earliest morning, Steve. It was just

284
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: about a year ago Week four. So the Bills have

285
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: a total of account three takeaways. Yeah, three takeaways so

286
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: far this year or maybe four. It was just about

287
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: this time last year Week four when the Bills went

288
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: to Atlanta and the takeaways went wild, and the next

289
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: four weeks starting in Week four last year, Bills had

290
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: thirteen takeaways. Yeah, they won three of those four. It

291
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: really turned the season around for them. They need to

292
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: have that start happening here. Take the ball away from

293
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, maybe get him into a pick. Maybe Poyer

294
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: and Mike Hiken disguise coverage and who knows, maybe full

295
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: the veteran Rodgers a little bit and get a pick.

296
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: To me. That would be the biggest, you know, long shot.

297
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: It is a long shot to get Rodgers throw and

298
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: two interceptions. He doesn't do that often, So that's why

299
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: we qualify it as a long shot. They get two

300
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: interceptions against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, they got a

301
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: real chance to win this game. Yeah. I mean, I

302
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: don't even have to do the research. Aaron Rodgers doesn't

303
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: throw two picks at home very often. I mean, it

304
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. It would be unexpected, But that's you're right,

305
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: Murph and I we harped on this all in the offseason.

306
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons this team with the

307
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: finger quotes overachieved last year was because of their ability

308
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: to get turnovers. As you said, in the next three

309
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: or four games, I got thirteen turnovers. That did it

310
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: for him, and I won those games because of those turnovers.

311
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: And it's and it's what happened last week in Minnesota.

312
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: The team jumped out seventeen nothing on a couple of

313
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: turnovers and one nice drive and a penalty. It was

314
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: its driven by complimentary football. And the thing that was

315
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: complimentary about it is not only the defense get get

316
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: the ball back, the offense scored. And you know, so

317
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: both teams, both sides of the football, working in concert

318
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: with one another. You know, it's almost impossible to beat

319
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: that team. And that's what the Bill showed last year

320
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: when when they were able to get that done, they

321
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: were winning games and winning them handily. And it was

322
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: and they did it with well, with Tyrod Taylor a quarterback.

323
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: You know, it was a different it was a different

324
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: world back then. Let's uh talk about this. What long

325
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: shot factor will help the Bills beat the Packers on Sunday.

326
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: They're ten ten and a half point underdogs. For a reason. Right,

327
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Packers are home. Do you know the Packers have not

328
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: lost a home game in September in six years? Um,

329
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot working against the Bills in this game.

330
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: It's not impossible a lot working against them. And so

331
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: we want you to think about which long shot things

332
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: could happen, you know, viable long shot things that could

333
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: happen that would lead to a Buffalo victory. Is it

334
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: a couple of takeaways, a couple of Rodgers interceptions. Maybe

335
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: it's uh Lashawan McCoy, you know, hitting his stride, getting

336
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: back into the getting the Bills back into the strong

337
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: run game that they featured for a couple of years.

338
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: Maybe that's it. Maybe it's a couple of deep passes

339
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen. Which long shot factor do you think

340
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: will go the farthest way towards putting the Bills in

341
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: the victory column this week? It's it's a long shot

342
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: to win this game. What do you yeah, we're underdogs

343
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: once again. What do you think? What's your call? Murph?

344
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think? Which one do you

345
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: think is more important? You think it is about away?

346
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: Here's one thing I think you could make a case

347
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: for and A lot of people are making the case

348
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: from a core in the run game because if you

349
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: and I think more so than one hundred and fifty yards,

350
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: because what if he struggles a little bit and then

351
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: snaps one off for seventy five yards and it looks

352
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: like a good day. I think it's more about the

353
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: run attempts than it is the yards almost. I mean,

354
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: if you have, like last week in Minnesota, was a

355
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: function of the game and how the score went. The

356
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: Bills ran at thirty eight times in that game. They

357
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: only threw it twenty two times. That's that said a

358
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: lot about how that game went. When you run the

359
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: football more than you throw it, it's usually a really

360
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: good symptom of how the game is going in your favor.

361
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: A lot of that second half obviously exactly, And so

362
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: I think if more so than McCoy running the ball

363
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: for a one hundred and fifty yards plus, it'd be

364
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: nice if he ran it for thirty times plus. But

365
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: the same thing is there. It's it's ball control and

366
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: the more you can And Thurman Thomas told us this

367
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: when he was on the show earlier in the week.

368
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: You know you want sustained drives just convert on third

369
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: down and keep Aaron Rodgers off the field. He can't

370
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: beat you on the bench. And that's what the Bills

371
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: need to do, I think. And McCoy and a lot

372
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: of people voting for McCoy, I think is a reflection

373
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: of that. Give us a call. Let's don't you think

374
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: eighth three fifty toll free one eight eighty five fifty two,

375
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: five fifty. What long shot needs to come through for

376
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills to come out of Green Bay with

377
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: a victory. It's not gonna be easy. We know that

378
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: mcause it's not impossible to either Stephen and think about

379
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: how you know they think about how the I was

380
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: talking to Sean McDermott about this this morning, how the

381
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: attitude has changed among the fan base from last week

382
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: to this. A week ago, we'd have been laughed at

383
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: to say, hey, what could happen that the Bills beat

384
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: the Vikings. We all thought it wasn't happen. Well it did.

385
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of the NFL. It did happen last week.

386
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: Now you know a couple of things come through for

387
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: you and you can go out to Green Bay and

388
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: win that game too. Absolutely, And now that and now

389
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: it's not just the guys in the locker room who

390
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: think it can happen. Now it's jokers like you and me.

391
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: You know, we were they were in our time, convincing

392
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: us that they were going to be able to do

393
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: it in Minnesota, and they walk out of there with

394
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: a twenty one point victory. They beat it by twenty

395
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: one points. Yeah, it's unbelievable. How this game. I mean,

396
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: you know, we'd all be broke if we had to

397
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: make our living betting on it. You can't bet on it.

398
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: One's crazy talk. I want to mention Friday mornings, I

399
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: do a segment on our flagship here, WGR Radio with

400
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: Howard Simon and Jeremy White, and then before that, I

401
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: do a little five minute segment Markelso and I with

402
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: w b N Radio. And they asked me today on Ben, Wow,

403
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: what a difference the atmosphere must be out there among

404
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: the players after the win over Minnesota compared to the

405
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: the week two weeks before that? And I thought about

406
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: it because I'm thoughtful, and I said, you know, not really,

407
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: And I mentioned this to Sean. I talked to Sean

408
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: about it today. This is a product I think of

409
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: the way McDermott handles his team. The atmosphere not that

410
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: much different, Steve. They're pretty business like there. You can

411
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: tell them. They say it all the time and we

412
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: sort of the highest role in the back of our head,

413
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: but they say, you know, we're focused on getting better today.

414
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: We're involved in the process. That was the approach in

415
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: the weeks after the Baltimore loss and the Chargers loss.

416
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: That paid off with the Minnesota win last week, And

417
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: I see the same kind of approach this week. No,

418
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: the answer was, no, I don't see that much of

419
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: a difference, or you know, I mean, everybody's happy that

420
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: they won, players and non players here at One Bills Drive.

421
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: But I give McDermot a lot of credit. This goes

422
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: to the culture part. He has created a culture where

423
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: you don't ride the wave that much. You know, you

424
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: worry about the process. What are we getting done today

425
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: to be better tomorrow? Right? And how did that game,

426
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: whether it was a win or lass, help us for

427
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: this next week? You know, what are we going to

428
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: learn about it? And it's you know, they just yeah,

429
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: they were happy, there's no question about it. It was

430
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: and it was a big I think probably a relief

431
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: in the building say get that monkey off their back

432
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: after playing support in week two. But basically you're right, Murph.

433
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: They were like, okay, let's go. I mean, we got

434
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: to turn our and and I did this when they

435
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: were losing. I was because we were in a dark

436
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: place after Baltimore. Yeah, listen, let's think about the next one.

437
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: You know, you got to think about the next one.

438
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: And that's what the players and coaches did. They came out,

439
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: watched the film on Monday morning. Then they were, you know,

440
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: they they're thinking about they're thinking about the Green Bay Packers.

441
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: They got to look forward. They can't celebrate it all

442
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: that much. They got to learn some things and get better.

443
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, we got football on Sunday, obviously, the

00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: and studio with us. Hello, coach Kelso, how are you.

478
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm well, sir, how are you? We're doing great. I'm

479
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to this game. I will say this, and

480
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: Steve has kind of dogged me about this this week. Well,

481
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: this is just one of the things on the list

482
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: of friendly right friendly banter. Yes, I don't believe. Look,

483
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: I like lambeau Field. I like nice historic venues like this,

484
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: but there's nothing sacred. There's nothing magical about the lambeau Field, right,

485
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's not even look there's history there.

486
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: There's history right over there too. It's history right down

487
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: the street here that I went. Don't give me a look.

488
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: It's well, then I would concur with I do think

489
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: there's I do think there's some magic about Lambeau, and

490
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's because of the fan base.

491
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: But I would think there's equal magic here at what's

492
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: the new air field. There's no question about that. I'm

493
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: just I'm just the passion with which they they exhibit

494
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: support for their team. I mean, there's no question about it.

495
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: The league. It goes on all over the league. But

496
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: I would contend that the Bills have the best fans,

497
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: and probably the second best fans might be the Steelers

498
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: or the Packers, but I'll put those two up there

499
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: pretty close, all right, Murphy, Sir. Does Fenway Park have

500
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: magical mystical qualities? No, I've been to Fenway. You know what,

501
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: Fenway is not a very fan friendly place. If you're

502
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: going to a game at Fenway, yeah, it's there's nothing special,

503
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: but it's a shack. Yeah, you can't really see what's

504
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: a lean to in the woods. Is the same thing

505
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: with Rigley Field. You can't say what you want about

506
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: it there. It's a it's a barn with a dirt floor.

507
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: There's a magic at Lamba, but let's what are you

508
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: talking about? Just the same way there is here. You

509
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: got to win in your own building. They have a

510
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: really good record when they play in their own building. Yeah,

511
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: and they'll do at home in September in six years.

512
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're they're good in their own building.

513
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: They've got that because they're good. They've got because they

514
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: got and they got energy from the crowd and everybody's opposition.

515
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: There's everybody's good on their own build. That doesn't mean

516
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: the building's magic. Come on the building. I'm talking about

517
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: the building. The fans are great. They're they're building because

518
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: they're getting their own building, because they got Aaron Rodgers.

519
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: It's true. Well this is just like Carolina is good

520
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: in their buildings. They got cam they got some other

521
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: good players. All that I do. Recall you're talking about

522
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: the fans and they're nice, nice people. Just says they

523
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: were in Minnesota. There was a game a couple of

524
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: years ago. It might have been when Steve made his

525
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: quick departure um when the Bills lost at Lamb a

526
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Yeah, while ago Bills lost. We're

527
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: driving a decade on the buses and in some places

528
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: the bus caravan gets like the one finger salute and

529
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: stuff being thrown not there there, it's like goodbye, hey,

530
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: thanks for coming, exactly, appreciate going home. Yeah, they right there. Well,

531
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: it's that's why. That's why it's a lot like Look,

532
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: most stadiums are in that metropolitan area here in western

533
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: New York where we're in a small community area. And

534
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: same with Lambau. It's a small community. It's a neighborhood

535
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: and it's a village. Yeah, it's it's It's fantastic, is

536
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: what it is, and it's gonna be it is I see.

537
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: I think you know that people make fun of it

538
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: and this and this inconvenient, particularly when the things open

539
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: and you got to get the traffic patterns just right.

540
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: Once they get that ironed out, I think there's no

541
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: better place to be. Even Foxborough is that way. Foxborough

542
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: is in a kind of a neighborhood where you kind

543
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: of go in there and it's by itself. I think

544
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: it adds a lot, and I think it adds a

545
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: positive to the stadium and the experience of being their pregame,

546
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: post game and getting into and out of it. Maybe

547
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: an issue, no question about it. But I'm telling you what,

548
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: once once they get those stadiums like Foxboro, like Buffalo,

549
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: like Green Bay into these neighborhoods and know what else,

550
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. It's in a neighborhood and its one

551
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people. Yeah, it's it makes it unique in

552
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: a very I think, a very positive way. Yeah, but

553
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: the atmosphere outside of it. Mark Kelso joins us, they're

554
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: ready to call the Bills and the Packers this week

555
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field in Green Bay. And you start with

556
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. M. Yeah, you want to compare them to

557
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: Tom Brady because it's the only the two of them

558
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: are the only two in that league. I think Drew Brees, No, well,

559
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: Drew Drew Brees and he's a little different, I think

560
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: as far as the similarities of style of play with

561
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and and quite frankly, Aaron Rodgers has more

562
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: scapability than Tom Brady, probably throws a little bit a

563
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: ball with a little bit more velocity than Tom Brady.

564
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: But both of those guys can do when a lot

565
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: of other quarterbacks can out too. I mean, there's some

566
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: unique things about about this team. First of all, when

567
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: when you look at them and you start to analyze

568
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: their offense, you're saying, God, it's gracious. They throw the

569
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: ball all the time. They're like seventy percent past thirty

570
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: percent run, so they have no balance. They're looking for

571
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: personnel mismatches. They're looking for scheme mismatches where they feel

572
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: like they can. If you're playing some zone, they're gonna

573
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: run a double dig with two guys in the middle

574
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: of the field and expect one guy that you're going

575
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: to cover one of them, and one of them is

576
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: going to be open, and Aaron Rodgers is going to deliver.

577
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: If you're if you're if you're favoring a strong side,

578
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna run a personnel mismatch to the weak side

579
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: with a single receiver or Jimmy Graham over on that side,

580
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: or they're gonna use the back and bring that back

581
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. If you play off, he just

582
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: might change the play and throw it to that guy

583
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: out there and get some blockers and see if that

584
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: playmaker can make a play in space, and and and

585
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: he's going to recognize what you're trying to do, and

586
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: then he's going to take advantage of it. He'll change

587
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: plays at the line of scrimmage. There's a lot of

588
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: things he can do in addition to throwing a beautiful

589
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: just a beautiful ball, he throws over the top, throws

590
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: a beautiful back shoulder fade. And the only thing negative,

591
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: not negative at all. But when I analyzed quarterbacks I have,

592
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: I told you I got like twenty five things that

593
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: I look at what can they do well? And one

594
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: of him is he steps into his throws. He doesn't.

595
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: He throws flat foot at all the time, but it's

596
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: still a dart and it's still on target. Yeah, and

597
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: he's even with a sore knee, he's been effective. And

598
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: I think one of the things I went off on

599
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: this yesterday and did a little, you know, a rant

600
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: about how good and why he is It doesn't matter

601
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: what happens around him. Not only does he do it well,

602
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: he makes it look easy doing it, keeping his eyes

603
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: down the field when the pressure is coming to him,

604
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: moving away from the pressure. He never looks at the pressure.

605
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: When he steps up in the pocket, he always steps

606
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: to the most open in the pocket. He slides away

607
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: from the pressure wherever it's coming from. He hears it,

608
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: feels it, sees it, whatever you want to call it.

609
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: He never looks at it, and he moves away and

610
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: keeps his eyes down the field, and you're right, their

611
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: offense for him, particularly at this point in his career,

612
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: when he's been doing it for so long, whatever matchup

613
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: he wants, he'll set it up. Priest now going to

614
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: get it, and he's gonna get it well. And he's

615
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: emotionally a nephthesized. Is that a right word? So he's like,

616
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: it's like he doesn't like his emotion. It doesn't matter

617
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: if they're up by twenty or down by twenty. He

618
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: has the same demeanor and kind of the same focus

619
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: for his offense. And again you see him changing things

620
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: all the time, recognizing where the mismatches are from a

621
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: personnel or scheme standpoint, and trying to put his players

622
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: in best position to succeed. And quite often he does that.

623
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: And when there's great coverage, then he has an opportunity

624
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: to throw that guy open, and he does that numerous

625
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: times throughout a ballgame. And you're right, he has some escapability,

626
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: but he doesn't tend to use it, particularly with the

627
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: knee injury he suffered earlier in the season, that he'll

628
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: escape just suddenly sliding to the pocket. He always has

629
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: a great feel, you know, I watched that game last

630
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: night and at one point when the Rams actually capped

631
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: that game and that secured that victory, when they had

632
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: the fumble that they caused on Cousins, it didn't look

633
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: like he felt the pressure from the backside. He didn't

634
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: step up. Aaron Rodgers is not like that. He will

635
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: step up because he will feel it coming from the backside.

636
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: Mark Kelso in studio with us talking about Sunday's matchup

637
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: Bills and Packers, and you mentioned, you're right, the numbers

638
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: show it. They throw at seventy percent of the time,

639
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: run it just about thirty percent of the time. They

640
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: got the second year running back back in their lineup

641
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: last week, who I think might have something to say

642
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: about that a little bit. Mark. I think you know,

643
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy who played at UTEP. He had a

644
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: two game suspension to serve and he did serve that

645
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: and now he's back with them, and I think he

646
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: might have something to say as far as I'm running

647
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: the football more. Aaron Jones number thirty three, who I

648
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: think it's a nice little compact, kind of shifty back.

649
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: I think they might look to get him in both

650
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: a little bit well, and that could be true, But

651
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: again I think it's about for them, it's about personnel mismatches,

652
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: and it's about expanding the defense so you and to

653
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: your point, so that perhaps they can run the ball

654
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: up inside a little bit, or they're gonna run. They're

655
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna attack the outside zone. They're gonna attack. They have

656
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: that little wing trap where they have a tight end

657
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: who's in a typical tight end position, but off the

658
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: ball comes across the formation, then they hand it off

659
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: to the running back. Now they can go he can

660
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: go straight into the line of scrimmage as an inside

661
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: zone play, he can follow that wing back, or he

662
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: can cut back, and he does that really well, both

663
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: of their backs and Williams and I mean in Montgomery

664
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: as well. All three of them really like to look

665
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: for that cutback lane and have had some success doing that,

666
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: and then that opens up the bootleg pass off of

667
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: the whole situation. But yeah, they may tend to run

668
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I suspect it. I mean, it

669
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: may go to sixty forty, but it's probably not going

670
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: to go more than that because Aaron Rodgers likes to

671
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: have the ball in his hands. But that being said,

672
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: he's going to deliver it to those running backs in

673
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: short spaces, whether it's a circle ride across the middle,

674
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: or whether it's on an h read out of the

675
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: backside with one received or a tight end so he

676
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: can get the ball in the hands of those playmakers.

677
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: What about on the other side of the football, A

678
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: lot has been said. Of course, Clay Matthews is getting

679
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: one routing the passer call a week, and it's been

680
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: a big fervor in the in the league about you know,

681
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: whether they were good calls or not. And that's beside

682
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: the point talking. Their secondary has been torched a little bit.

683
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: They've struggled back there, and Clay Matthews is their elite

684
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: pass rushers. Though what do you see in the defensive

685
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: side of the football. Yeah, and only have six sacks

686
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: on the year right now. But on the defensive side,

687
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: they've had trouble putting pressure on the pass where there's

688
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: no question they run. They play from a fifty defense,

689
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: so they're typically you're gonna use and those tackle two

690
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: defensive ends and then two outside linebackers. They're gonna play

691
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: nickel personnel. If you're gonna have eleven guys or eleven

692
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: personnel on the field with the three wire receivers and

693
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: one tight end, and if you have less than that,

694
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: if you have less than three wire receivers, then they'll

695
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: stay in the regular package and they'll just expand and

696
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: contract those outside linebackers. But I think there's some opportunities.

697
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: And on the back end, Stevie about that with the

698
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: secondary secondary is really they are confusing to me a

699
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: little bit. Sometimes I can't tell what covers they're playing,

700
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure they know what covers they're playing.

701
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: They play in the half turn most of their corners do,

702
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: which means they're not gonna backpedal. They typically don't press

703
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot a little bit, but even when they press,

704
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna jam that receiver and then they're gonna turn

705
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: their body and they're gonna run with the receiver. And

706
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: that that's what the half turns called. They keep their

707
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: eyes on a quarterback, right, they kind of feel the

708
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: receiver and keep the eyes in the backfield when they're

709
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean in his own situation, yet still in man,

710
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: I think their focuses on them, but they're again, they're turning,

711
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: so they're not there's no backpedal there, and they're not

712
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: they're not running in a trail position they're gonna play.

713
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: So when if they come out, let's say that we

714
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: got the right cornerback. Let's say we got um who's

715
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: out there, whether it's King or Ty Traymont Williams. So

716
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: let's say the receiver's inside. So they're gonna jam that

717
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: receiver inside, or they're gonna start early in the down.

718
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna turn their body inside towards the quarterback in

719
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: his own situation, and he's gonna start running backwards and

720
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: he's going to try to keep good lateral positioning on

721
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: that receiver. But that being said, if you push him,

722
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: if you push those guys and work to their opposite

723
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: hip from where you're going to run the pattern, and

724
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: you can create some good separation right on the break.

725
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: But the timing has got to be there for Josh

726
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: Allen to be able to make that throw. And I

727
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: think there's some opportunities. I think there's some opportunities where

728
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: they combo coverage and the safeties can be moved all

729
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: over the place just with a look from the quarterback.

730
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: And if Josh Allen has an opportunity to do that

731
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 1: and can throw it down field, they have an opportunity

732
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: for some big plays. I think down the kind of

733
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, right around the hashes against

734
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: this secondary unit. Mark Kelso is with us in studio

735
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: talking about Sunday's game. Mark Mike Petton is the defensive

736
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Packers. He spent the twenty thirteen season

737
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills, and the one thing they weren't

738
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: great on defensive Bills were tenth ranked defense when he

739
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: was here. But the one thing that I always kind

740
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: of admired, I guess about Patton was and he called

741
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: a controlled chaos. He has a great way of mixing

742
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: up so that you might not know where it's coming from.

743
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: And I would think, going up against the rocky quarterback

744
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: this week, Mike Patton's going to throw the book at

745
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen when you think, yeah, And I didn't see

746
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: a ton of pressure. It seemed like when they got

747
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: backed up in certain situations. They like to be aggressive

748
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: in those situations and play man with with two deep

749
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: safeties or with one safety. And and but but the

750
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: one thing that they do, you're right, is there's some

751
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: creative pressures. They'll put six guys up on the line

752
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and they're only going to rush four. Sometimes

753
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: they'll rush three, well against Washington and one and what

754
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: they'll do sometimes as well as those guys, particularly Martinez,

755
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: when he's up at the line of scrimmage, and now

756
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: he's a middle linebacker, so typically not at the line

757
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, but when he's up there, does a really

758
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: nice job of stepping and drawing an offensive lineman block

759
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: and then stepping back into a passing lane through the

760
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: middle of the field. So he I mean they're inside guys.

761
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean they do get some good pressure. I mean,

762
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: some of these guys got to have a really nice

763
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: like Kenny Clark has a great push pull move that

764
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: they can create some escapability. And Clay on the outside

765
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: is he likes to inside a lot on those defensive

766
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: or those offensive tackles. So he starts to the outside

767
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: and comes flying inside and likes to spill the running

768
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: backs as well, So he likes to come inside and

769
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: cut off that inside running lane and force them to

770
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: go to the edge. And I think there's some opportunities

771
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: there from the Bills. There's no question. We asked this question.

772
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: We gotta let Mark go in a minute here, But

773
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: what if the Bills have an advantage anywhere around the

774
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: field over Green Bay. What would be their biggest advantage.

775
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: What's the thing that they should be able to do

776
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: against their opponents? Well, I mean I'm gonna say, well,

777
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: there's two things, so I'll go I'll give way on

778
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: each side of the ball. So I think on the

779
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. I do think there's opportunities

780
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: down the field against this team. Now that being said,

781
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: you are going to have to protect pretty well, maybe

782
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: a max protection situation. It may be off a bootleg

783
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: when you've run a play similar to that prior in

784
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: the game, and now you're gonna half sprint and then

785
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw the ball down the field by moving

786
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: those safeties with your eyes and buy a look one way.

787
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: Those safeties don't they rarely backpedal. I mean Clinton dix is,

788
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's a terrific athlete. He's gonna play deep,

789
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: really deep, and he's gonna everything's gonna be downhill. He's

790
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna be running forward and not back pedaling very much,

791
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: and aggressive on the run as well. So I think

792
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: there's some play as well. I mean, I can't I

793
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: think it's a scheme that will move it. So if

794
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: you run the play, and you run a play successfully

795
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: two or three times to one side, and now you

796
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: execute the same thing and then he comes out, runs

797
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: the play action fake and then goes the other way.

798
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: Now the safeties are looking for that previous play and

799
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity down the field. So that's the

800
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: first you can go in with your mindset too, the

801
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: quarterback says, And even when you're calling the play, Daboll

802
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: just say, hey, remember look left correct thinking you're going right,

803
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: and that's all it needs. Just what about the other

804
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Bills on defense, Yeah, bills on defense,

805
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: they need some pressure, I mean, And the only way

806
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: to disrupt Aaron Rodgers is to disrupt his timing. And

807
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: that means, in my mind, you've got to have collisions

808
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. Not all the time, but

809
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: sometimes you'll be up there and collisions. Sometimes you'll step

810
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: out earlier. I think they did a really good job

811
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: last week against Kurt Cousins in that Minnesota offense of

812
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: spinning the safeties and not giving him a clean look

813
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: at whether he was seeing two high safeties. That's what

814
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks looking for. They're two back there, and there's

815
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: their one. And if there's two, okay, I have an

816
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: idea what the coverage is. I'll understand when the ball

817
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: is snapped. And now they switch on me. So okay,

818
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: Now I'm not sure they're coming down and playing a

819
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: three zone or they're playing a man situation. So they're

820
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: gonna have to do things to disrupt the timing of

821
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And they can't play off very much because

822
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: if they play off too much, He's just going to

823
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: throw it out there on the edge and let those

824
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: playmakers make a play. And there's the other thing about

825
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: this team, and we've talked many, many times about this.

826
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: Receivers who are good blockers are really productive for your

827
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: running game. And they have receivers that are willing blockers

828
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: in the screen game and that outside zone run game.

829
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: And so you've got to be really careful with those

830
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: guys because they will they will stick their nose in

831
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: there and try to create some seams for those running backs.

832
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: What's the difference a week makes a week ago, We're

833
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: out here desponding, trying to fire at all. How can

834
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: they compete with these guys? Now, look, if they beat them,

835
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: it would be a surprise, but it wouldn't be, you know,

836
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: stop the press a shocker. Well. And the weird thing

837
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 1: to me is, I'm a I'm not a betting guy

838
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: or even look at those lines, but I heard in

839
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: the car coming in that I think they're fourteen point underdogs.

840
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, after last league it was a ten. I

841
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: mean after last week, I think they might have modified

842
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: that a little bit. But the point here is that

843
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: we talk about regularly is that there is a real

844
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: fine line between playing well and not playing well. And

845
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: it takes all eleven guys. And that's what I think

846
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: I love about the game. That's what Steve loves it.

847
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: I think that's what we all love about the game.

848
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: It takes the synergy of all eleven guys doing the

849
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: right thing, everybody executing their job so that there's there's

850
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: no holes. And if there are, if you're not getting

851
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: pressure on the passer from from the opposing offense and

852
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: and you're not in great lateral positioning when that ball

853
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: comes out of the quarterback's hands, you have no chance

854
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: to make a play. If you execute perfectly, then you've

855
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: got a chance, and only a chance. If they don't

856
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: execute perfectly, and I think last week you saw a team,

857
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: a Bill's team that executed much much better than they

858
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: had the previous two weeks in a Minnesota, a team

859
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: that was thinking about this Thursday night game and had

860
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: some issues going on, the whole Everson Griffin situation that

861
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: unfolded that we didn't know about, but certainly they knew

862
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: about in the locker room. Imagine there's a lot of

863
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: concern from his teammates about that situation. So their heads

864
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: certainly were not in the game, and they were not precise,

865
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: they were not sharp in their drops, they didn't rush

866
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: the passer particularly well, and then the Bills created some turnover.

867
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: So if they that's a template for success if they

868
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: can execute it again. Mark, thanks for this. We'll see

869
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: Mark Kelso joins us Sunday for a kickoff one o'clock

Speaker 1: Greg go Sell joins us a little bit after one

883
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: o'clock today. In the meantime, let's hear from you our

884
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today, what unlikely event somewhat unlikely? What long

885
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: shot event would go the farthest in helping the Bills

886
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: knock off the you know, surprise upset the Green Bay

887
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: Packers On Twitter. We've worded it this way, probably better

888
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: than I have just articulated it for the Buffo Bills

889
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: to beat the Packers on Sunday. Which long shot would

890
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: help the most? On Twitter? On the poll, forty seven

891
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: percent of you say a big game from Lashawn McCoy

892
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: fIF one hundred fifty yards or more would help. Twenty

893
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: eight percent of you say Aaron Rodgers throws a couple

894
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 1: of picks that would help the most. Twenty two percent

895
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: say Josh Ellen hits on a deep ball just one.

896
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: I guess twenty two percent say that, five percent say

897
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: something else hasn't pretty close. Twitter pole, Yeah it is

898
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good Twitter poll. I think the thing

899
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: about Rodgers throwing two interceptions, I think that kind of

900
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: COEs hand and handed with if Rogers not playing well,

901
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: because we've seen the Packers are not a very good

902
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: football team without him. Yeah, and if he's not playing

903
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers plays, that's a huge boost for the

904
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: whoever they're playing. And I think that's one of the

905
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: things that gets lost in that. You know, if he's

906
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: throwing two interceptions, I don't know if he might throw

907
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: for five touchdowns and two interceptions. You know that kind

908
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: of thing. I mean, you know, I mean it's not

909
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: out the realm of possibility with a guy throw it

910
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: up a lot. But if he plays bad, yeah, they

911
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: they're not a very good football team. So that's I

912
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: think he is the crux of the problem. But I

913
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: think also me flip it over for Bills fans, you

914
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: give Shady the ball enough that he gets one hundred

915
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: and fifty yards, and you hang onto the football and

916
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: get some ball control going down there and limit Aaron

917
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers possessions. Yeah, that's a good thing too. You got

918
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: a chance, you got a chance. Here's a call from

919
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: Jeff and Jamestown. Hello, Jeff, welcome to the show. You're

920
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: on the air with this. Hey, guys, I got a

921
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: couple of points. It's as far as your questions concerning that,

922
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: I want to end with a specific question for Steve.

923
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: I think what the Bills need to do is, you know,

924
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: they relied a lot on the turnovers, and I'd like

925
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: to see him have a well balanced game. And yeah,

926
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: I'd love turnovers, but to win despite turnovers. So we're

927
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: not saying whether those three interceptions. And as far as

928
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: the individual performances, i'd like to see them actually hit

929
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: on some of them de throws, maybe the foster and

930
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: kind of just like Thurman Thomas, I'd like to see

931
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: a you know, McCoy get you know, his touches in

932
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: the running game and the passing game, maybe scoring a

933
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: reception and then a rushing touchdown on. My last thing

934
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: is Steve uh used to play with a tough fullback.

935
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: Remember Jamie Mueller for Benedictine College. Yeah, he was a

936
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: really tough runner, but he couldn't catch a called. I

937
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: remember Jim Kelly was meant was talking about Don beebe

938
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: to his speed, and then he said, well, you know,

939
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: don Baby's not the fast kind of team Jamie Mueller is.

940
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: Is that true? Well, here's the thing, Jamie Mueller, when

941
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: he first got to Buffalo, a lot of what you

942
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: said is true. He didn't catch the ball very well,

943
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: and he was a little heavy, and he's a little raw,

944
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: untalented and unpolished coming out of been addicting. And then

945
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: after a year or two, and this is the reason

946
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: he hung around the National Football League for a while.

947
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: He was a pretty sharp kid. He saw what he

948
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: needed to do. He worked on his speed, and then

949
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: the Bills switched from and went from a two back

950
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: set when Jamie was a full back and went from

951
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: a two back set to a one back set. Jamie

952
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: lost like twenty five or thirty pounds and got himself

953
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: down to be where he was running a four three

954
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: forty so and he could catch everything. I mean, he

955
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: was making one handed catches. He was doing all kinds

956
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: of stuff in training camp that next year. So yeah,

957
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: Jamie at one point probably could have been the fastest

958
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: guy on the team. He um won a game against

959
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 1: the Jets with a touchdown catch. Remember late in the game,

960
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: and he called you out in the post game. He

961
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 1: calls you listen. So Jamie, Jamie catches against the Jets.

962
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: Remember Jim double clutches a throw and because Jim had

963
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: this arm, he flicks it with his rist. It's about

964
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard pass into the end zone. Jamie had

965
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: worked to get open, caught it and fell down. He's

966
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: a big hero. So ever, we're gonna come and we

967
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: were getting beat by the Jets, and they win it.

968
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: We win it literally in the like last second of

969
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: the game. We come into the thing and Jamie is

970
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: in the post game and Murf said, what was the

971
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: play on that? Where you just trying to get open

972
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: or what? And Jamie looked at me, yeah, Murf, I

973
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: was trying to get over. It was a dumb question.

974
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: It was a stupid question. But he hadn't up in

975
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: a pass catcher up until that. He could not My question,

976
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: what were you doing down there in the end zone?

977
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: Jamie Mueller. When Jamie Mueller was drafted, Jamie Mueller was drafted,

978
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: he couldn't catch his own behind with both hands. But

979
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: after a year of working and he wore the training

980
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: staff out, Bud and Woody and all these guys that

981
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: used to be down there with us. He warm out

982
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: in the offseason and they had to go down there

983
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: and shoot five hundred balls a day out of the

984
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: guns at him. It was hard work, and he was

985
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: working hard. And he came back that next year in

986
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: training camp and like I said, dropped all that weight,

987
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: was very fast and was making one handed catches. He

988
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: was doing it was amazing. He made himself into a

989
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 1: really quality NFL player over the course of an off season.

990
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: There was one off season where he stayed here. A

991
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: lot of guys did back then, a lot more anyway,

992
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: and he and Joe Devlin used to go to Joe

993
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: Devlin's house. They were dragging jeeps and cars around the

994
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: property and stuff, just to get stronger. Remember that. Now

995
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: you got guys flipping tires and stuff too. Those guys

996
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: were doing him back then on their own. A break care.

997
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,080

00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: favor in the Tennessee Titans offense. Last night Thursday Night Football,

Speaker 1: perfect passing performance. Yesterday, NFL issued a clarification on it's

1032
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: much debated roughing the passer rule after three weeks of

1033
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: outrage from players and coaches and fans. Last week, after

1034
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 1: more than twice as many flags for roughing the passer

1035
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: over the first couple of weeks of the season, the

1036
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: league says the lead the rule has not going away.

1037
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: They released a video showing exactly what qualifies as roughing

1038
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: the Passers. Savers finish up their preseason tonight. Final preseason

00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: against Boston and the Ryder Cup to the US started strong,

1042
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: but Europe now leads it five to three after day one.

1043
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: For the first time since eighty nine, the European Ryder

1044
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: Cup team swept an entire session, claimed all four of

1045
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: the matches Friday afternoon outside Paris, after falling behind three

1046
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: to one in the morning. Is it over, Steve for

1047
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: the US Ryder Cup team? I don't think so, do you?

1048
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so, not yet. I hope I get

1049
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: a chance to watch some tomorrow. Did they have a replay? Like?

1050
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to get up at

1051
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: two in the morning to watch Ryder Cup, but they'll

1052
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: have a replay later in the day. Right it sounds

1053
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: like the type of thing I would like to Tea's

1056
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: Ryder Cup? That sounded reasonable? Re question? So I asked thee.

1057

1064
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: He used to be an old one. Heck is it? Um?

1065
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: What's the name of the Old Time Secret Society? Masonic Temple?

1066
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: Used to be an old Masonic temple. It's a huge

1067
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: it's a really cool architectural bill and they made it

1068
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: into a Well. That's where we're staying. Okay, Sorry, didn't

1069
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: mean to get out. Steve's got the three and old

1070
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins and the one and two Patriots tomorrow. Do you

1071
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: have any doubt at all that the Patriots will win

1072
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: that game? Yeah? I do? I have stouts. Yeah, they

1073
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: still don't have Edelman in the in the lineup if

1074
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: you take Gronkowski away, which the you know, the vikings

1075
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: are the vikings which the Dolphins are really gonna try

1076
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: and do. Um, I don't know how the Patriots beat you.

1077
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is not a threat unless he's in the

1078
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: pocket thrown it. If you pressure him and get him off,

1079
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: he's not going to run for a first down. They

1080
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: don't have the guys. The matchup real well offensively with

1081
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense, and the Dolphins offense has got some

1082
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: speed on it. So yeah, the Dolphins could go in

1083
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: there and win. They really couldn't. I think they feel

1084
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: like they will, but yeah, I mean it doesn't. If

1085
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: it was Tom Brady and the seven Dwarfs would I

1086
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: would pick them in no borrow. Hey, let's talk a

1087
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: little bit more about this game on Sunday. Our Twitter

1088
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: poll deals with the Bills and the Packers. Want to

1089
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: hear from you as far as what long shots. So

1090
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: the Bills need to come through for them to beat

1091
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: the Packers on Sunday? Which long shot would help the most?

1092
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: On Twitter? Right now with the almost eight hundred votes in,

1093
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: forty five percent of you say the best thing. The

1094
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: best long shot that could come in to help the

1095
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: Bills would be for Sean McCoy to run well get

1096
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and fifty yards. Twenty eight percent

1097
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: say the best long shot that comes through would be

1098
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: if Rogers throws two interceptions, twenty three percent of you

1099
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: say Josh Allen hitting on deep ball. Four percent have

1100
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: something else in mind. Give us a call. Let's discuss

1101
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: eight oh three h five fifty or twll three one

1102
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: eight eight by fifty two five fifteen. Steve, you got

1103
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: a couple of things on the tweet sheet, folks. If

1104
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 1: usual in responses from Daniel Burrow, successful run game controls

1105
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: the clock and keeps the ball away from Rogers, that's

1106
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: a good one. James Cravelettes. If Rogers those two picks,

1107
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: we're bringing the pressure. Hopefully one of those picks is

1108
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: to hide. Two picks would go a long way to

1109
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: sealing the deal. In Green Bay on Sunday, Go Bills,

1110
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: Jason Crandall McCoy. In the run game, we need to

1111
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: keep Rogers off the field for long stretches. The longer

1112
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: you sit between playing with an injury, the more at bother's.

1113
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: That's something we ever really talked about, is how bad

1114
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: his knee. His knee injury is getting better, There's no

1115
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: doubt about it. He practiced yesterday in a limited way.

1116
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: That's the first time he practiced since you know, the

1117
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: day before the game last week so, and he hadn't

1118
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: practiced since the game the week before that. So Rogers

1119
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: is starting to get a little more active outside the game,

1120
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: so he is getting better also, and never more sports

1121
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: Zay Jones going off for over a hundred yards and

1122
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: two tds would be the most help if I agree

1123
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: with that, but it would be it would be the

1124
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: long shot, and it'd be the long shot part of

1125
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing. James Livingston on Twitter. McCoy getting one

1126
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 1: hundred plus yards as well as Ivory and Murphy getting

1127
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: positive yards throughout as well, would be an immense help

1128
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: to bring the bills of victory. Time of possess is

1129
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: going to be huge to keep Aaron Rodgers off the

1130
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: field as well as keeping our d line fresh, so

1131
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers to rush Rogers all day. All those people are

1132
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 1: kind of coming down to the same thing. No matter

1133
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: how you slice those long shot choices that we give you,

1134
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: it all comes down to how they handle Aaron Rodgers,

1135
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: whether they keep him off the field with the running game,

1136
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: or whether they put more pressure on him by making

1137
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: him throw picks, or if Josh Allen throws a lot

1138
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, on the long ball and put pressure on

1139
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: them to keep up on the scoreboard. Either way you slide,

1140
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: anyway you slice this. When you talk about the Green

1141
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, it circles back to Aaron Rodgers and how

1142
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 1: he plays. I don't think you can get around that, Murph.

1143
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: I just I just don't. I think he's the focal

1144
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: point of everything you've got to do, and it's all

1145
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: got to be focused on getting him off his game

1146
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: and making it difficult for him to be successful. If

1147
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: you're starting the team in the NFL to play next

1148
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: year twenty nineteen, and you had to choose a quarterback

1149
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: between Rodgers and Brady, I'm going with Rogers, aren't you.

1150
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, no question. And then not just

1151
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: because of the Patriots rough start, but there's a couple

1152
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: of years difference here, four or five years age difference,

1153
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: and I just think Rogers is stronger and just as

1154
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: competitive as Tom Brady. He's got a better ultra competitive

1155
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: he's got a better arm. Absolutely, you go with Rodgers

1156
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: right as Brady's face it. We've seen Tom Brady more

1157
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: so than most teams right here in the AFC East.

1158
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: I think one of the things you have to acknowledge

1159
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: is the fact that the Packers and the Packers the

1160
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: Patriots have an institutional culture that Brady has been a

1161
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: part of for so long. He's almost one and the same.

1162
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 1: I think if you take if you pick Tom Brady

1163
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: up and put him out on the West Coast in

1164
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: the Rams offense, or you put him out in the

1165
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City offense, or you put him in to any

1166
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: other successful offense, he'd be good, but he wouldn't be

1167
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady that he is with the New Orleans,

1168
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots. Now you take Aaron Rodgers

1169
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: and you plug him into any of those offenses, there's

1170
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: a chance any of those really good offense could be

1171
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: even better with Aaron Rodgers. Um, that's the way I

1172
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: see those two shaping up, and I would compare the two. So, yeah,

1173
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 1: if you're starting a team from scratch, Aaron Rodgers is

1174
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: the guy ahead of Tom Brady and those two. There

1175
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: might be other quarterbacks maybe, Yeah, there might be a

1176
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: couple of others. There would be good fits as well.

1177
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, it starts with It starts with

1178
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers quarterback. Let's take a few phone

1179
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 1: calls here as you give us your thoughts on Sunday's game.

1180
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: A call here from Mitch in Pittsfurgh, New York. Come on, Mitch,

1181
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: howur things in Pittsburgh? Oh? Good? Thanks? Man? Um, guys,

1182
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: I have a quick question Um, in regards for to

1183
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: main Henmans. I don't know if you guys follow Pro

1184
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 1: Football Focus, but he's currently rated as their lowest player

1185
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: on defense. I want to know how act you thought

1186
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: that was and just overall how he's playing now. I mean,

1187
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: is that to indicate he's the worst? He's the Bill's

1188
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: worst lowest rated player on defense or NFL or what

1189
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: do you see? Yeah? And he's and he's far below

1190
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: the league average of that position as well. He's the

1191
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: league's lowest rated player. Yeah. You know what, I gotta

1192
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Yeah, Mitch, which is it the Bill,

1193
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: the NFL? He Bills? Right now, he's the lowest rated player.

1194
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: It's true, but it might be it might be on

1195
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: the Bills because of the way Milano's playing and the

1196
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: way Lorenzo Alexander's playing. I mean, if you're gonna compare

1197
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: him to the other linebackers, those are the two guys

1198
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: and Matt and Matt Milano was the AFC Defensive Player

1199
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: of the Week and uh Lorenzo Alexander rushed the passer

1200
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: all day. So you know I'm not listening. I gotta

1201
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: be on. I can't tell you why Pro Football Focus

1202
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: rated him like that. I think the Bills are happy

1203
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: with the way he's been playing. There's no question he's

1204
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: not coming off the field. And I'll tell you this,

1205
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: as long as that's continues to be the case, I'm

1206
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: I have not been unhappy with the way he's playing. Now,

1207
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: I'll grant you this. He hasn't shown up. He hasn't

1208
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: been making tackles, interceptions, that kind of stuff. He hasn't

1209
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: been making the splash plays that Matt Milano has been making,

1210
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,720
Speaker 1: no question about it. So but if you're a comparing

1211
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 1: in Matt Milano, he's the AFC Defensive Player of the week.

1212
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: He's better than anybody. So sure he's going to be

1213
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: better than any of the linebackers on the Bills team.

1214
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: So I'm perfectly fine with you. I'm not unhappy with

1215
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm not unhappy with Youermaine progress on an almost weekly basis.

1216
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: He's on the field, As Steve said, every play. He

1217
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: doesn't come off. I'm perfectly fine where he is and

1218
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: more importantly, where he's going. I don't have a problem

1219
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: with that at all. And you know, the PFF grades

1220
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: are what they are, right, we use them sometimes to

1221
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: talk about them, but um, I'm not sure why how

1222
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: they get to that, you know grading point. Here's Rick

1223
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: and Amherst. Hello, Rick, welcome, you're on the air with us.

1224
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: You're doing today? Okayod Hey, I just wanted to say

1225
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the Bills. They look like they're

1226
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: starting to come around a little. I'm super excited about

1227
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You know, he's you know him, know he's wrong.

1228
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: The potential looks like it's there. But the whole reason

1229
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: I called is I'm a big golf fan. I had

1230
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: to tell you, guys. I was listening to Sirius this morning,

1231
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 1: early morning to the wider type and the guy who's

1232
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: literally said, yeah, the US team came out like the

1233
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: phil Adelphia Eagles and then they shot up in the

1234
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: second round like the Buffalo Bills. Wow, I know what

1235
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: a smack right. I'm like, I'm done listening to that station.

1236
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: Who said that? Who is it said that? Who are

1237
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: the announcers? You know dat SARS Radio is okay, there

1238
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: you go. Chuckles. Yeah, I'm sure you gotta. Hey, you

1239
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: gotta earn it. That's all you can say. If they're

1240
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk like that, you got to earn your way

1241
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: out of it. If you're the Bills, and uh um,

1242
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: we'll see if they can do it. Thanks very much

1243
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: for a call, Steve. We want to dive into this game.

1244
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it with Great co Sello a couple

1245
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: of minutes from NFL Films. Great co sell will join

1246
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: us and we'll talk about his show, which they tape

1247
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: on Fridays, gets his thoughts on a variety of topics.

1248
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: But let's talk a little bit about this Bill's Packers

1249
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: matchup and what we're looking for. What do you think

1250
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: you know you're looking for in terms of what the

1251
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: Bills need to do to win? You can go first.

1252
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: I've got a couple ideas. But what do you need

1253
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: to see against Green Bay Packers and the Buffalo Bills. Well,

1254
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: I think, for one, like most people, I think they

1255
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: have to pressure Aaron Rodgers. You know, his knee's gonna

1256
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: be bothering him. You know he's not going to be

1257
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: as mobile that you've got to take advantage of that.

1258
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: In any weakness he shows, you've got to jump on it.

1259
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: You've got to send pressure on him and force him

1260
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: to do some things he's uncomfortable doing. He's not as

1261
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: good under pressure as he is normally. But that doesn't

1262
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: mean to say it's easy to get pressure on him.

1263
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: He handles it well, he moves around well, like I've said,

1264
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: but I think that's the key. If you let him

1265
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: sit back there and throw it, he's gonna win the game.

1266
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: You can't let him win the game. You've got to

1267
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: get the ball either out of his hands or he's

1268
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: got to go down, and he's got to go down hard.

1269
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: If you can manage it in the current atmosphere of

1270
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, if you can hit him, get in his face.

1271
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: You've got to get him to throw the football before

1272
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: or after he wants to throw the football. That's number one.

1273
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: Number two, I think Josh Allen's got to go deep,

1274
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: and he's got to go deep off and he's got

1275
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 1: to connect on those passes. Their secondary struggles in the

1276
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: long ball, and if you can take the lid off

1277
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: it and put some points on the board with easy scores,

1278
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: I think that's going to put the pressure on the

1279
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. I think they'll start to press. Their

1280
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: defense is going to start to do things it doesn't

1281
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,439
Speaker 1: want to do, and that opens it up underneath as well.

1282
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: So I think Josh Allen, we've seen him go deep

1283
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: a couple of times. They've just missed on a couple.

1284
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: One when he under threw the ball and early in

1285
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: the game and Robert Foster broke it up for the interception,

1286
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: and then the one that Robert Foster got let get

1287
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: through his hands. If you hit on those two, that

1288
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: entire game is more of what we saw. I mean,

1289
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: they're going to score in the thirties, maybe even put

1290
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: forty points up on the board. Because then the Packers,

1291
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the vikings in that last game are going

1292
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: to change everything and that's what will happen against the Packers.

1293
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: So that's what I think. You've got to make Rogers

1294
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: uncomfortable in one way or another, and you've got to

1295
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: hit deep balls on that secondary because that's where they're weak,

1296
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: and I think that'll go a long way towards getting

1297
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: into the helmet of the Packers. You only need to

1298
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: get one or two of those deep pass completions don't

1299
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,919
Speaker 1: you think you don't need to You know, you don't

1300
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: need to fire footballs all over the field. A couple

1301
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: will do it. You gotta go deep with whether you're

1302
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: successful or not. You gotta go at least once a quarter,

1303
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: and if you're successful, you got to go once more

1304
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: in that quarter. Okay, what I need to see? What

1305
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: I think would go a long way towards us bringing

1306
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: the Bills of victory on Sunday. Number one, taking the

1307
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: ball away. Right, they had three takeaways against Minnesota. More

1308
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: of that take the ball away. When they were at

1309
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: their best last year, they were taking the ball away.

1310
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: I talked about it started in Week four. There was

1311
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: a four week span last year when the Bills took

1312
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 1: it away thirteen times. They won three of those four,

1313
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: including a win at Atlanta. Pretty good win a year ago,

1314
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 1: right at this time this week last year. So taking

1315
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: the ball away is number one, and they showed a

1316
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: propensity to do that with pressure, the kind of pressure

1317
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Steve talked about, you know, pressuring. Even Rogers would be

1318
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: susceptible to pressure, as you have to throw an interception

1319
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: this year, A perfect time to start it this week.

1320
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Take the ball away. Defensive takeaways is what I need

1321
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: to see most in this game. Number two, more first downs.

1322
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: We talked about the stat earlier in the week. How yes,

1323
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: it's only three games, but the Bills have gone three

1324
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: and out on more than half of their offensive possessions.

1325
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent of their possessions wind up with three

1326
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: plays in a punt. That's not going to work here,

1327
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Not with Aaron Rodgers coming out in the field after that,

1328
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: That's not going to work at all. That's exactly what

1329
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are going to need to do.

1330
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: Take the ball away and do a much better job

1331
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: of moving the change. And it's sometimes you move the

1332
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: change and you get a six seven play drive and

1333
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: you still punt it away, and you know what, Steve

1334
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: against this bad That's okay, that's okay. The key back

1335
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: in the day when we were doing we started doing

1336
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: the analytics and what has now got to be considered

1337
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: a rudimentary way. The number back in the day was

1338
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: your drive had to be seven plays to make a

1339
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: difference in the game. If you didn't score, seven plays

1340
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: gave you either one or two first downs or three

1341
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: first downs, and then if you punted after that, it

1342
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: was still had an effect, a positive effect on your

1343
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: percentages of winning the game. Seven play drives are a

1344
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: benchmark that really shift the percentages in your favor offensively

1345
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: and overall for your defense as well, because obviously you

1346
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: hang on to the football on time of possession and

1347
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: field position changes to a significant degree aft even if

1348
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: you punt it. So that's one of the things that happened.

1349
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, that speaks to what you're saying, Murphy.

1350
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: If you can put long drives together, and that means

1351
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: seven play drives, you go first down, second down, third down,

1352
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: he get a first down. Then the fourth play of

1353
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: the drive is a first down and he goes second,

1354
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: third and that means, you know, basically you got to

1355
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: get a first down, you know, on third downs yea.

1356
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: And that's situational football, which last week the Bills were

1357
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: really good at and the Vikings weren't. They were off

1358
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: the field and getting sacked on their third downs and

1359
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: that was a huge factor in the game. The Bill's

1360
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: injury report is out as practice has concluded on this Friday.

1361
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: Four players listed as questionable for a Sunday's game. Are

1362

1384
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve up here in Buffalo, how are you, hey, guys?

1385
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Doing great? I you know, I know that we all

1386
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: had Buffalo winning easily in Minnesota last week, right, not

1387
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: at all? I'm nuts they saved me in my suicide pool.

1388
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't I don't do that stuff, you know. Yeah, No,

1389
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: me neither, because I don't know how, I said in

1390
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: a friend of me, I don't know how anybody bets

1391
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm pro football. You get results like that last week.

1392
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: It was a it was a shocking victory, but it

1393
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: was it was not an accident. Great, Greg, I mean,

1394
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: the Bills earned that win last week without question. You know,

1395
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I almost I know that we spend all of our

1396
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: time starting anyway talking about Josh Allen for obvious reasons.

1397
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: But I really think you have to start with the

1398
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: defense this week, you know, particularly since I mean you're

1399
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: starting Ryan Lewis at corner opposite White. Uh, You're you're

1400
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, you're doing You're having to do some different things.

1401
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 1: But I thought the defense played really well. I thought

1402
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: that particularly in their in their nickel, they were really

1403
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: interesting and some of the things they did, you know,

1404
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: things that I really picked up on tape. They were

1405
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: really very multiple with what they did with their fronts,

1406
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: and I think that was important because I think the

1407
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: vikings Old line is a little bit of a liability

1408
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: at times and past protection. I thought their nickel profile,

1409
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: what the Bills did with their nickel was a lot

1410
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: of front multiplicity and a lot of coverage consistency, and

1411
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: I thought it played out really really well. They had

1412
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: some very impressive and effective selective blitzes. Normally shown as

1413
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: not a high percentage blitzer, but he had some really

1414
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: selective pressure concepts, different concepts that worked really really well. Yeah,

1415
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: And one of the things I noticed they did with

1416
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: their personnel was they put Lorenzo Alexander down into a

1417
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: defensive tackle spot a couple of times, and Jerry Hughes

1418
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: was an absolute machine coming off the left side, so

1419
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: they really gave him Kirk Cousins some fists. Cousins had

1420
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: to step up in the pocket and that led to

1421
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: problems during that football game. Their pressure really was the

1422
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: difference I think defensively. Yeah, it was really a factor.

1423
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,919
Speaker 1: You know, the fronts really helped because by the way

1424
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 1: you set up your front, Steve and you know this

1425
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: is you can dictate protections. And what they did really

1426
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: well was dictate that the left tackle Riley Reef was

1427
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: going to block Jerry Us one on one by a

1428
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: lot of what they did with their fronts, and that

1429
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 1: was not a good day for Riley Reef. Jerry Use

1430
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: had a really really good game. I mean you have

1431
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: when you watch the tape. Obviously it's not as if

1432
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: he had seven sacks or anything, but he he was

1433
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: just he was working Riley Reef throughout that game. I

1434
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: think it was a Pro Football Focus had a metric

1435
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: up this week, Greg about Jerry Hughes has the exact

1436
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: same number of pressures quarterback pressures through three weeks is

1437
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. He's never mentioned in that category, but he's

1438
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: been really the best Bills defender for the first three

1439
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: games this season, hasn't he? Yah? Yeah, chose up on tape.

1440
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I mean he really worked Reef.

1441
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: The other guy who I'm sure we talked about prior

1442
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: to the season starting, and he had a very good game,

1443
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: and I really liked the player in the context of

1444
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's defense is Matt Milano. I think he really

1445
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: fits this well as a particularly as a nickel player.

1446
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Now he plays in the bass as well, but in

1447
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: the nickel, I think with his speed, his movement, his

1448
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: sort of versatility to do different things, I think he

1449
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: really fits this defense well. Well, now that you're sticking

1450
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: with the defense, let's flip it over and start talking

1451
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: about the quarterback. I mean a lot of people, there

1452
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: are two plays in this game that are going to

1453
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: be signature plays I think for the season for Josh Allen,

1454
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: the hurdle over the linebacker and then out running the

1455
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: same linebacker to the end at the pylon. But overall,

1456
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: aside from those two kind of signature plays by Josh Allen,

1457
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: how would you rate his day? His completion percentage was

1458
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: sixty eight percent, which is a little bit ipopp and

1459
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:02,439
Speaker 1: giving where he started, I mean he was up and down.

1460
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: I actually thought the Bill's coaching staff did an outstanding

1461
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: job with their approach to design some basic concepts and

1462
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: defined throws. You saw screens, flat routes, one on ones

1463
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, throwing to Benjamin. Benjamin dropped but probably

1464
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: could have been a touchdown. It certainly would have been

1465
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,480
Speaker 1: a first down on a quick slant. The Croom touchdown

1466
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: was all designed, beautifully done. You guys know, the play

1467
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: with Murphy motioning and showing the screen with Croom blocking,

1468
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: and then Croom released into what was essentially a wheel

1469
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: route and he was wide open. So I really think

1470
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,560
Speaker 1: they helped him tremendously. I think they know what he

1471
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 1: is and what he isn't. At this point, he's somewhat

1472
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: limited in his progression reading, so they limited that a bit.

1473
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: You know. They took two shot plays in the first half,

1474
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 1: both to Foster. One he under threw. The second one

1475
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: was actually I thought a very good throw that Foster

1476
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: probably should have come up with. He's a little reckless,

1477
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: and he may always be a little reckless. That may

1478
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: be his game. If you're not turning it over and

1479
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: you can make some plays with your legs, then maybe

1480
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: you can live with that. If you can do other

1481
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: things well like they did defensively in this game. I

1482
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 1: think sometimes, and we saw in a Minnesota Greg that

1483
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 1: his recklessness and it is reckless, and it also demonstrates

1484
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: his competitiveness and I think that's a benefit for a

1485
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: team that, let's face it could be a little bit

1486
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: to you know, talent challenged on the offensive side of

1487
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: the ball could be you know, I think he played

1488
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: that way a bit in college. Again, now it comes

1489
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 1: down to coaching and how you want him to play.

1490
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: I think with quarterbacks who have very good movement ability

1491
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: and second reaction ability and running ability, there's always a balance.

1492
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 1: And I'm not a coach and I'm not with the team,

1493
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: so I don't know where that balance is. But I

1494
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: think there's always a balance between getting a guy to

1495
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: be patient in the pocket and become efficient in the

1496
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: pocket versus the ability to make those second reaction type plays.

1497
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 1: I think with each quarterback and with each team those

1498
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: the answer to that balance is different. Well, let's talk

1499
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: a little bit about one of the reasons he was

1500
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: successful or we're not successful, and one of the reasons

1501
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: he's reckless or competitive, which everyone put it in the

1502
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: guys around him as wide receivers drop some balls, Like

1503
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: you said, Robert Foster dropped a deep when Calvin Benjamin's

1504
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 1: been criticized for not catching it. What about the guys

1505
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: around Josh Allen and is he making the most out

1506
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: of little or is he maybe, you know, part of

1507
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,600
Speaker 1: the problem as well, because he's missing open guys. I

1508
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: think there's there's two ways to answer that. I think

1509
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: you can always evaluate a quarterback in a vacuum, isolate

1510
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: his traits, his attributes, his characteristics, and I think when

1511
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,759
Speaker 1: you evaluate quarterbacks coming into the NFL and the draft,

1512
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: you need to do that. But then there's the team elements. Steven,

1513
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 1: You're one hundred percent right. Every team has its own

1514
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: set of demands for the quarterback, and on this team,

1515
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 1: I think we're dealing with a running game that through

1516
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: three weeks has clearly been up and down, an old

1517
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 1: line that's not an overly athletic group, a receiving cord

1518
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,560
Speaker 1: that's a work in progress. So given all of that,

1519
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: your quarterback probably needs and I hate to be cliched,

1520
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: but you guys will know what I mean. Your quarterback

1521
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: probably needs to make some plays. And Josh Allen is

1522
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: that style of quarterback. He's a little bit of a

1523
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: gun slinger, he's a little bit of a playmaker. I

1524
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't call him a precision player by any stretch of

1525
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: the imagination at this point, but this team demands that

1526
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: he'd do some of those other things or else they're

1527
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 1: gonna have a tough time scoring. We're on the line

1528
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: with Greg co Sale, executive producer, analyst of NFL Matchup

1529
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: on ESPN, long time senior producer at NFL Film. So

1530
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: the Bills take their act back on the road to

1531
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,799
Speaker 1: Green Bay this week, Greg to go up against Aaron Rodgers,

1532
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: who you know, I had the knee injury in the

1533
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 1: season opener, the Sunday Night game. What have you seen

1534
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 1: from Rogers the last few weeks and are you thinking

1535
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 1: that that knee is no longer an issue if it

1536
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: really was a limiting factor for him at all this year? Well,

1537
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: I think it is a limiting factor. And as good

1538
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: as Rodgers is, and we don't need to discuss that,

1539
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: we know he's really good, but their past game at times,

1540
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: even when Rogers is at his best, lacks a sense

1541
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: of rhythm and timing because Rogers is very much of

1542
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: a second reaction, improvisational player. You know, I've always described

1543
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: him this way. He's more of a jazz musician than

1544
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: a classical pianist. He likes to make plays outside of structure.

1545
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 1: He can't really do that right now the way he

1546
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: can when he's healthy. So they have not made a

1547
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: lot of big plays in the passing game because he

1548
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 1: can't do that. So their offense, he's still a great

1549
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 1: thrower and he still can make throws and he can't

1550
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: fall asleep on him, but many of their explosive pass

1551
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: plays come from him making second reaction improvisational plays and

1552
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: he hasn't quite been able to do that. So I

1553
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,600
Speaker 1: don't know where he is in his rehabilitation for this

1554
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 1: week's game against you guys. And how have you seen

1555
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,600
Speaker 1: his teammates around him on the offensive side react to

1556
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: his is the difference in his abilities in his style?

1557
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Have they adjusted well? Now you get into trying to

1558
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: run structure a structured pass game, Steve and every team

1559
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 1: obviously has designed and scheme to run a structured pass game,

1560
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: but that's not been their mo for the most part.

1561
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: And the other issue they're facing is their run game.

1562
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: And I think they have a couple of good backs,

1563
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: but it's very week to week as far as whether

1564
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: they decide to commit to running the football, and they

1565
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: may who knows, they may decide that they need to

1566
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: do that more. They have Aaron Jones, they have Jamal Williams.

1567
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: I think both those guys are pretty solid backs. I

1568
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: studied both those guys coming out of college. Aaron Jones

1569
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: went to UTEP. There were times watching him in college

1570
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: I thought he had some similar traits to a back

1571
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: like Frank Gore. So I don't know where they stand

1572
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 1: and how they see their own offense, but they really

1573
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: haven't played with much balance. Greg what about the Green

1574
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 1: Bay defense. It's been a liability in the first three weeks,

1575
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: hasn't it. Well, it's brand. You guys know Mike Petton,

1576
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: you know he does. Mike Petton is a very interesting guy.

1577
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of disguise. There's a lot of different

1578
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: front looks. It's a defense that I think needs time

1579
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: to gel because I think you're asking players to do

1580
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: a lot of things. There's a very mental aspect to

1581
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: this defense, and so I think it's going to take time.

1582
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: I think it's very corner based because there's a lot

1583
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: of man coverage. We know they drafted the rookie Jarry

1584
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: Alexander from Louisville in the first round, Josh Jackson from

1585
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: Iowa in the second round. So Kevin King I think

1586
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 1: has been hurting. He's missed some time, so I think

1587
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: it's it's a work in progress right now. Talk a

1588
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: little bit about did you watch Thursday Night Football last night?

1589
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are talking about how great

1590
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,799
Speaker 1: that game looked on TV. It was a high scoring

1591
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,680
Speaker 1: of thirty eight thirty one game and the Rams look

1592
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: unbelievably good offensively. Well, you know, since I'm old, Steve,

1593
01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: I fall asleep in the third quarter. But I actually

1594
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,680
Speaker 1: watch the Rams offense on tape this morning when I

1595
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 1: got in because I was getting early. And they do

1596
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 1: a lot of things. I mean, we know that Goss good,

1597
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: he was the first pick in the draft. We know

1598
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 1: they have talented players, But when I watched them, I

1599
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:16,600
Speaker 1: look for the tactics and they have a specific profile

1600
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: to me. First of all, they line up with one back,

1601
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,440
Speaker 1: one tight end, and three wide receivers, meaning eleven personnel

1602
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 1: on ninety eight percent of their snaps, far and away

1603
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: the highest percentage in the NFL. Another thing they do

1604
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: is and you'll know what I'm talking about, Steve, as

1605
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: they line up with their wide receivers more often than

1606
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: not in what we call minus or nasty splits, where

1607
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,600
Speaker 1: they're very close to the line of scrimmage to the

1608
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: tight end or the tackle, the offensive tackle, and that's

1609
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: very difficult for defenses. It helps their run game. It

1610
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: also makes it difficult for safeties and corners because of

1611
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 1: the kinds of routes you can run. You usually don't

1612
01:15:56,320 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: press receivers like that. They're very good with with run action.

1613
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 1: There are a zone running team and they do so

1614
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: many things off of that in the play action pass game.

1615
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 1: I want to move around to some of the other

1616
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: games around the league of this weekend. Greg Steve my

1617
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 1: partner here with his NFL on CBS duty. He's going

1618
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: to be in Foxborough Sunday for the unbeaten Dolphins and

1619
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,560
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Patriots have lost a couple in

1620
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 1: a row, and you mentioned us before he came on

1621
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: the air. You saw some issues with the Patriots offense

1622
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: on third downs at the Detroit last week. I thought

1623
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia was brilliant. What he decided was, given the

1624
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 1: state of the wide receiver corps in New England, that

1625
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: on third down there were two players you have to

1626
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: deal with, Rob Gronkowski and James White. So what he

1627
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: did on third down is he lined up with seven

1628
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: defensive backs which you rarely see in the league seven

1629
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: defensive backs, So he doubled Gronkowski with a safety in

1630
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,719
Speaker 1: a corner. He matched up to White with a safety

1631
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: better than a linebacker. Plus he had the widest pass

1632
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 1: rusher on the side that White was off set too

1633
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 1: in the backfield, rushed through White, meeting run right at

1634
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:09,560
Speaker 1: White before he would rush the quarterback, kind of what

1635
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: we call the bulls eye technique. And he did those

1636
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,919
Speaker 1: things on third down, and he caused all kinds of problems.

1637
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: By the way, it's the same thing Bill Belichick did

1638
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: with that bulls eye technique when they won the Super

1639
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: Bowl against the Saint Louis Rams. He did that to

1640
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,640
Speaker 1: Marshall Falk and it was very very effective. Is that

1641
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: a function of Patricia's familiarity spending that time in New England. Sure,

1642
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,560
Speaker 1: it's also a function of thinking outside the box and

1643
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,640
Speaker 1: lining up with seven defensive backs. There's a lot of

1644
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: teams that won't do that. It's not part of what

1645
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: they do, what they teach. I think you have to

1646
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: think a little bit outside the box. What do you

1647
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: think about the start that the Miami Dolphins are off to.

1648
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,600
Speaker 1: They're headed up to New England, this week, Ryan Tannehills

1649
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: played solidly. Certainly, you know, beating beating Oakland, beating Tennessee,

1650
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: you know hasn't doesn't really make you think they've run

1651
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: the gauntlet to get to three and oh, but nevertheless

1652
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 1: here they stand unbeaten. Yeah, I think they're doing some

1653
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,679
Speaker 1: good things offensively. Tannehill has been playing with a nice

1654
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: sense of timing and refinement. He's been very accurate. When

1655
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 1: you called shot plays and want to get the ball

1656
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 1: down the field and you connect, it makes your offense

1657
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: look very good. I mean, week one, they called a

1658
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: shot play and he hit Stills for a seventy yard touchdown.

1659
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: When he beat Malcolm Butler. Last week, he threw a

1660
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: beautiful ball to Stills on an inside corner route. You

1661
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 1: couldn't have handed it to him any better for a

1662
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: thirty four yard touchdown. When you call those plays and

1663
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: you connect, your offense will look good. And then they have.

1664
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 1: They scored the two touchdowns last week. They're technically passes,

1665
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 1: but they're really jet sweeps and so they're doing some

1666
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: different things. But the one thing they do have, they

1667
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: do have weapons on offense. Greg Cosell joins US from

1668
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 1: NFL matchup on ESPN Senior producer at NFL Films. Look,

1669
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm a big Jimmy Garoppolo fan. I hated to see

1670
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 1: him go down now be out for the rest of

1671
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: the year, and that really does I mean the nine

1672
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 1: years go with CJ. Bethard, second year player, but they

1673
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: don't give themselves much of a chance there, do they.

1674
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: I think that the Niners are probably going to just

1675
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: fall off the table here, don't you think, right? I mean, look,

1676
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is better than Bethard, that that's not in question,

1677
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 1: but beth was there a year ago. I think Kyle

1678
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: Shanahan has a very good scheme and system that creates

1679
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: opportunities for your quarterback. I think Bethard will be a

1680
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: little better than we think not. I'm not suggesting they'll

1681
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: now go twelve and four, but I think he'll be

1682
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: better than he was as a rookie last year. Don't

1683
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: forget he was a fifth, maybe a third fourth. I mean,

1684
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,799
Speaker 1: he wasn't a high pick, although I know Kyle Shanahan

1685
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 1: really liked him coming out of Iowa. So I'm anxious

1686
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: to see CJ. Bethard. I've met him. He's a tough kid.

1687
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: We saw that last year. He's not a great thrower.

1688
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: Accuracy can be an issue, so there's some obviously concerns,

1689
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: but I would bet he'll hang in there and do

1690
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: a little better than you might think. Okay, all right,

1691
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 1: now that sounds better than I thought. I thought it

1692
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: was going to it. Yeah, but let's face it. I

1693
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: mean getting back to one last thing as we kind

1694
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: of wrapped this up and finish up top back with

1695
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:13,679
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and the Green Bay Packers. The Bills,

1696
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: no question, shocked a lot of people in beating the

1697
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota last weekend. What will it take for you to

1698
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: see the Bills shock the Green Bay Packers. Well, defense

1699
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: has to continue to be a staple Steve. Yeah. At

1700
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: this point, they're not going to win games unless the

1701
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 1: defense helps like it did this week. They're not gonna

1702
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: win games thirty five thirty one, So they cook. They

1703
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: got the two fumbles early in the game, that's set

1704
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: up short fields. You can't count on that every week,

1705
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 1: But their defense has to be the number one factor.

1706
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 1: They need to run it with a little more consistency. Obviously,

1707
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: they were able to run it a lot last week

1708
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 1: because they got ahead and Josh is at least going

1709
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:59,560
Speaker 1: to have to make some some big throws. Obviously, the

1710
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: complete le percentage was high last week. I don't think

1711
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: it has to be sixty seven sixty percent every week.

1712
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 1: But he's going to have to make some some big

1713
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: throws down field, whether the scheme gives them to him

1714
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 1: or whether he just makes good throws. Now, like I said,

1715
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 1: they took some shots. They're gonna have to hit some

1716
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 1: of those, so I think that has to be their profile.

1717
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,679
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Thanks very much. Greg. We'll watch

1718
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,880

01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:46,320

1725
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: what has to happen? Those are the three issues right now.

1726
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 1: Twitter poll going into the day was what long shot

1727
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: things have to happen for the bills that come out

1728
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 1: on top? And Greg kinda went one, two three. Right,

1729
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: defense has got to play give maybe get some turnovers, friends,

1730
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: get some turnovers. Right, got to run the football really well. Yep,

1731
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: we got that, and we gotta hit a deep pad

1732
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: in a deep pass. That's our Twitter poll for the

1733
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: Bills to beat the Packers? Which long shot would help

1734
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 1: the most? Forty five percent say the run game mccoye

1735
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: plus others. Twenty eight percent say Rodgers throws two picks.

1736
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: Twenty two percent say Allen hits the deep ball. And

1737
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: before you add us, we didn't rehearse that with him,

1738

Speaker 1: and oh, we're coming up with it, and we came

01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 1: Eighty eight. So they take a nap during this, probably

1764
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: took a nap during Kelso's. That's a good one. He

1765
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 1: would like that laugh at that one. Shots fired Bills

1766
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: Packers coming up Sunday. I don't know from you what

1767
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: you think about the game and what the what long

1768
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: shot has to happen for the Bills to win this game?

1769
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: Of course, Aaron Rodgers is playing, and he was limited

1770
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 1: in practice yesterday, his first his first week day practice

1771
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: other than Saturday through the last few weeks. Rogers talked

1772
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: to media in Green Bay yesterday. He was asked if

1773
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: once a game starts, if he still notices his sore

1774
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: left knee, if he forgets about the injury once the

1775
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: game starts. Here's what he had to say. When the

1776
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: adrenaline is going, whether it's a calf or a knee

1777
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: or a shoulder, you can forget about in the moment.

1778
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: But sometimes he's forget about it too much and it

1779
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 1: comes up and grabs you when you're running and thinking

1780
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 1: when you're fine. But that's just that's part of dealing

1781
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: with an injury. And hopefully at some point this season

1782
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 1: that goes away. Do you guys need to run the

1783
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more? And I just put it gone,

1784
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: just some stuffleb me. Just make your life a little

1785
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 1: bit easier until your full goal. You think, I'm not

1786
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: worried about my life being any easier. I mean, this

1787
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: is what I signed up for, and this is you

1788
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: know why my lockers right here, and why they pay

1789
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: me what they pay me. You know, I'm gonna do

1790
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 1: whatever it takes for us to win. You know, it's

1791
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: it differs each week to put on the opponent of

1792
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 1: plan and where you feel like the matchups are in

1793
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 1: your face and we gotta do what we do best

1794
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 1: that week to get the win, whether that's throwing it

1795
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 1: forty five times or maybe not run a forty five,

1796
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 1: but maybe run it a little more, a little bit

1797
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:14,639
Speaker 1: more than we Have you ever heard Aaron Rodgers saying

1798
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,600
Speaker 1: anything funny mildly amusing? I don't know if I have.

1799
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 1: He kind of chuckled there, he did. I wasn't laughing.

1800
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 1: Were you was that funny? It wasn't that funny. I've

1801
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 1: never heard him say anything that funny. Just he's not that.

1802
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:26,560
Speaker 1: He's deadly serious. But he just started a matter of

1803
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 1: fact everything. You are answer my question if you ever

1804
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: heard Aaron Rodgers saying anything that would make you go No,

1805
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: I haven't heard him talk that much. He's not that funny.

1806
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: I think he's a great quarterback, a Hall of famer

1807
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 1: for sure, just not that funny. And they do throw

1808
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: I love it when you talk about other teams players.

1809
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 1: He's a great player. He just wow, he's not I'm sure,

1810
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: he's not a great interview. By the way plays an

1811
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:54,719
Speaker 1: he plays in a crap stadium. That doesn't mean anything

1812
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: to anyone say that. No, no, don't misinterpret what I said.

1813
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: If Rogers should have to leave the game for any reason,

1814
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: Deshaun Kaiser is his back up, the former Cleveland Brown,

1815
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 1: the farmer, notre Damer. Actually, I was watching the other

1816
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:10,639
Speaker 1: day the opener of their game against Chicago on Sunday

1817
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: Night Football Week one. Kaiser had to come in. As

1818
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: you recall, when Rogers got hurt and he played pretty

1819
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 1: well Steve he did. Yeah, Yeah, I don't think they

1820
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: want to go I don't. I don't think he was

1821
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,719
Speaker 1: as good as he can be last year in Cleveland

1822
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons. I think there's still more

1823
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 1: to you can still we'll still hear more from Deshaun

1824
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,640
Speaker 1: Kaiser in his career. Yeah, certainly, not gonna hear much

1825
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: from him playing to get behind Aaron Rodgers. But he's

1826
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: he's a pretty good player, got good size, he got

1827
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 1: good athletic ability, and he's gonna learn a lot playing

1828
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: there in Cleveland. I'm playing there in Green Bay, so

1829
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: we haven't heard the last of him. I'm with you,

1830
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 1: they don't run it very often. Jamal Williams is their

1831
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: number one back, number eighty eight. Time Montgomery with a

1832
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver and number, we'll get some carries. And last

1833
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 1: week they got Aaron Jones back. Greg Cosell talked about him,

1834
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,600
Speaker 1: a second year player from Texas El Paso who he

1835
01:26:57,720 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: was out the first two weeks. He had to serve

1836
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 1: a two game suspension for substance abuse. But like Greg

1837
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: goes out, I was impressed with what I saw from

1838
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. I thought, um, you know, there's something there

1839
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: that may work to their benefit. I'm sure the Bills

1840
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: are a little bit worried about him. Rodgers as Aaron

1841
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: Rodgers was asked about using guys like Aaron Jones and

1842
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 1: maybe they get the more manageable down and distance situations.

1843
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: Here's what the quarterback said, We got to win first

1844
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 1: and second down. I'm more consistently. It doesn't mean run

1845
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 1: into football, you know, every first down, but we have

1846
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: to have a good run in pass mix early in

1847
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 1: the game and keep finding a way to get the

1848
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: ball out of playmakers. You know, when you bring thirty

1849
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: three back on the field like we did last week,

1850
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,560
Speaker 1: you kind of forget when he's out the kind of

1851
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 1: dynamic abilities he can bring to a game. With his

1852
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 1: running style, He's a different type of runner than we've

1853
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: had here in a while. He's very similar to Ryan Grant,

1854
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 1: I think that we had for years with a slashing style.

1855
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: He's probably a little more elusive in the open field

1856
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: than Ryan was, and maybe slightly you know, greater top

1857
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: end speed, but you gotta find ways to getting the ball.

1858
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: And then what Tie is doing out of the backfield,

1859
01:27:57,240 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: You've got to keep expanding his role and then and

1860
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: then Jamal has proven he's he's a three down back.

1861
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 1: So we need to find a way to get those

1862
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 1: guys in their in their comfort zones and give them

1863
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 1: more opportunities, and then hopefully I can set up some

1864
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: of the down the field play acts and stuff. Sounds

1865
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: like they're planning on maybe running it a little bit

1866
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 1: more Steve, especially with Aaron Jones back in the lineup.

1867
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that every team would

1868
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 1: like to do a little better, particularly the Packers on

1869
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 1: first and second down. There's no way they want to

1870
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: get into third and seven, third and eight plus all

1871
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 1: day against Buffalo because it plays into what their problems

1872
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 1: are right now. On the Packer offense. Aaron cannot run

1873
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 1: around like he did, and it takes their running backs

1874
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:37,640
Speaker 1: out of the mix, and it allows the Bills to

1875
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 1: dictate defensively, like we heard Greg Cosell, I mean they can.

1876
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 1: The Bills will be able to dictate with their front

1877
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 1: who gets single blocked on the defense in the pass rush.

1878
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 1: And that's not a place where the Packers are going

1879
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 1: to be successful doing it, no matter who they're playing. Finally,

1880
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:55,559
Speaker 1: there's this about Aaron Rodgers and you know the story, right,

1881
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 1: first round draft pick, but sat behind Brett Fire for

1882
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 1: three years before he actually became their starting quarterback. Now

1883
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: this year, you've got four first round draft pick quarterbacks

1884
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: all going to start on Sunday. Right, let's go through them.

1885
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 1: Steve Josh Rosen in Arizona, Josh Allen and Buffalo Sam

1886
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 1: Darnald with the Jets will start again this week, and

1887
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield making his first start. You wonder what's the

1888
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,639
Speaker 1: best way to break an a young quarterback. Rogers talked

1889
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: about that in the Green Bay locker room yesterday. He

1890
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: believes the Packers quarterback thinks that today's quarterbacks may be

1891
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 1: more ready to play right away than he was, say,

1892
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 1: when he came into the league about a decade or

1893
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 1: more ago. The quarterback today is a lot more ready

1894
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,560
Speaker 1: to play than I was. And the best thing to

1895
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 1: happen to me was sitting behind far for three years

1896
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: and learned the game and getting my body in the

1897
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 1: right shape and being ready to play in year four.

1898
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 1: But some of these guys, because the coach has improved

1899
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 1: and the quarterback play in general, I think it's improved

1900
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: at the lower levels, and you're seeing more of the

1901
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 1: spread stuff coming up from the high school ranks and

1902
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: the college ranks. These guys are ready to play, and

1903
01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:03,719
Speaker 1: they're playing well. Interesting, very interesting, and from an interesting perspective.

1904
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 1: By the way, even though I don't believe Rogers I've

1905
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 1: ever heard seen anything funny. I do think he's very bright,

1906
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 1: and I think he just says I don't know if

1907
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 1: I he said. I believe he just said, the quarterbacks

1908
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 1: are more ready now. I wonder if the game is

1909
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:20,560
Speaker 1: a little bit easier now for quarterbacks to play the

1910
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 1: NFL game than it was when he came in years

1911
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 1: and years. Both can be true. I mean, they're more

1912
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:29,679
Speaker 1: ready because the game is more skewed to what they've

1913
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:31,519
Speaker 1: already been playing. And it used to be that the

1914
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 1: college game was vastly different than the pro game offensively

1915
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: in their concepts and the way they ran it, and

1916
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 1: and players came out and he was a huge adjustment.

1917
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 1: Now because of you know, the pressure of the economics

1918
01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: of it, the pressure of the value of the draft

1919
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: picks where these guys are picked, the importance of that

1920
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:52,400
Speaker 1: position in the NFL level, it's important for coaching staffs

1921
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: to evolve a way to get these guys on the

1922
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,759
Speaker 1: field faster because there is no patience to wait. Deshaun

1923
01:30:57,880 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 1: Kaiser is a great example of that. They gave him

1924
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:01,639
Speaker 1: a half a year in Cleveland. Man he's and he's

1925
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 1: already in Green Bay. There's no patience for a quarterback

1926
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 1: who doesn't show a certain level of promise. And so

1927
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 1: I think the NFL has adapted. It's you know, vetting

1928
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 1: process and it's coaching techniques to make these guys ready

1929
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:21,160
Speaker 1: and to make this possible for them to play. You

1930
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 1: talk to the quarterbacks, like what Sean McVay has done

1931
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:30,240
Speaker 1: in LA with with Jared Goff. You've got quarterbacks, old

1932
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that I work with CBA all those guys are

1933
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 1: getting up off the couch corn what you know, where's that? Ben?

1934
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 1: Where was that when I was trying to learn? You

1935
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 1: know where? You know, they're just all about how the

1936
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: coaching has made it possible for these guys to be

1937
01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 1: more successful as younger players. Yeah, it's an interesting question.

1938
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: And like Aaron Moore from Aaron Rodgers on that, and

1939
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 1: from the young guys from Josh Allen and the others,

1940
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'd be an interesting exchange of ideas. Problem is,

1941
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,719
Speaker 1: so you get these young guys like Josh, Josh, Sam

1942
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 1: and Baker, they don't know what it's like to be

1943
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 1: an old guy. You know, after this year, they'll have

1944
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 1: this year's experience to talk about like this is the

1945
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 1: thing that's surprised anyway. Anyway, that's a discussion for a

1946
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 1: future date. You know. The guy who knows a little

1947
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 1: bit about Aaron Rodgers played college football with us is

1948
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:14,760
Speaker 1: Bill's line with him is Bill's linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, and

1949
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 1: he's standing by for his regular Friday visit with us

1950
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 1: with the Lowdown. We've got Lorenzo standing by to join

1951
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 1: us when we come back. Come on back with us.

1952

Speaker 1: you move around a lot though the last couple of

2004
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 1: weeks here. Yeah, it's been a lot of fun, you know.

2005
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 1: And that's just my emo since I've been in the league.

2006
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 1: You know, just put me out there and let me

2007
01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 1: run around and be productive. And anytime you have some

2008
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:20,559
Speaker 1: subs success, especially with your team, is it's a lot

2009
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:21,600
Speaker 1: of fun to be had to go out there and

2010
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:23,439
Speaker 1: do it real had You had a lot of success

2011
01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 1: last week, and I guess it surprises everybody except the

2012
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:30,040
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room. I'll put it that way, right.

2013
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys joined there as this huge underdog

2014
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 1: and nobody believed. And I say it all the time,

2015
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 1: I know you guys thought you were gonna win that game.

2016
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 1: Nobody else did. And people looking at you like he does, Okay,

2017
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 1: they believe, they believe that they did well. St. Steve

2018
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:51,600
Speaker 1: just has a great perspective because he lived in the

2019
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 1: locker room. He's been in there, and and you knew

2020
01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 1: too that you were a huge For me, it's refreshing

2021
01:35:57,439 --> 01:36:00,679
Speaker 1: for somebody to know knows the mindset of a football team,

2022
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 1: no matter what the national perception or what it looks

2023
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 1: like from outside end, because we understand it's a week

2024
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 1: to week league. And we even saw it last night.

2025
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 1: Obviously we we dominate the Minnesota Vikings, and they came

2026
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:15,800
Speaker 1: out last night offensively and put up some great yards.

2027
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins looked great, Their offensive was moving the ball

2028
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 1: pretty much keeping up with the rams um. So we

2029
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:24,280
Speaker 1: knew if we came out and played great football South Football.

2030
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:26,719
Speaker 1: We had an opportunity to beat them in their house,

2031
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: just like any other week. The thing is is, now,

2032
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 1: how do you recover from that win? Being on a

2033
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:34,200
Speaker 1: high after the first two weeks is easy to go

2034
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 1: to work and grind because you got your butts whooped.

2035
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Now how do you bounce back? And that's really been

2036
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 1: our focus all week. I know you don't really like

2037
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,760
Speaker 1: nobody likes talking about other teams, but do you think

2038
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:45,400
Speaker 1: you're win in Minnesota? Counter for two wins against the Vikings?

2039
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 1: Against the Vikings had counted two losses, and you know

2040
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, they couldn't recover from that. I think,

2041
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a short week frame, a Thursday game,

2042
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, I don't know. I think they

2043
01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:57,560
Speaker 1: were looking a little bit past us as well. You know,

2044
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 1: here comes to owing two team limping in. We got

2045
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: to the Rams on national TV coming up. Let's just

2046
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 1: get through this game, rest some of our star players

2047
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,720
Speaker 1: up and then unleashing on them, you know, on Thursday night.

2048
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,639
Speaker 1: But they just weren't ready, you know, for the type

2049
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:13,759
Speaker 1: of savvy guys and the and the type of prifule

2050
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: guys that we have on our team. Because we came

2051
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:18,240
Speaker 1: out and played some good physical football for four quarters

2052
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,439
Speaker 1: and was able to sustain playing at a high level.

2053
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 1: The takeaways were huge last week. Ten points off turnovers. Yeah,

2054
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:26,760
Speaker 1: all really much generated by you guys up front. The

2055
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: pressure you're put on Kirk Cousins last week, Yeah, it

2056
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:30,680
Speaker 1: was great, I mean the first third day and was

2057
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 1: able to fluster him a little bit, a great effort

2058
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 1: played by Trent Murphy's able to turn the corner, but

2059
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: he ran in another guy, got back on his feet,

2060
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: came back down retracing and was able to get get

2061
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:42,720
Speaker 1: the ball out. I was able to recover that one.

2062
01:37:43,400 --> 01:37:45,760
Speaker 1: The second time. We gave him a different look where

2063
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if he knew if I was coming

2064
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 1: or not. We dropped black, play some cover two held

2065
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: the ball. Obviously. Jerry was beating his guy all day

2066
01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:57,560
Speaker 1: like a drum in strip sack and Matt Malona, you know,

2067
01:37:57,680 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 1: falls on the ball on that one and then another

2068
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:01,640
Speaker 1: one where some more pressure in his face and the

2069
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:03,960
Speaker 1: ball falls right in the Matt Malone's lap. So it

2070
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:06,599
Speaker 1: was just great pressure and that's something that we haven't had.

2071
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 1: And I guess the first six quarters is turnovers. Really

2072
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 1: the first two games, not having any turnovers, you know,

2073
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 1: we had something on the ground, weren't able to find them.

2074
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,040
Speaker 1: Finally the starting to bounce our way. And when we

2075
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 1: get up like that and our offense was really rolling

2076
01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:23,000
Speaker 1: putting points on the board. We're a hard team to

2077
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:24,880
Speaker 1: beat because we are a good team if we can

2078
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 1: find success and take advantage of other people's mistakes. Yeah,

2079
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:29,640
Speaker 1: it turned it into a big win. And now you

2080
01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:32,400
Speaker 1: gotta you know, how do you recover? People talk about

2081
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:35,000
Speaker 1: recovering and flushing the laws? How hard was it to

2082
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 1: flush a really nice game like the one you put

2083
01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 1: together and think about, well, now we got to do

2084
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 1: it again, right, Yeah, And I think it's it's all

2085
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 1: about great leadership and shine addressed earlier in the week.

2086
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think our leadership group throughout the week

2087
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: are also dressed within our rooms, whether it's position or

2088
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:52,640
Speaker 1: offense and defense. Just making sure because we do have

2089
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 1: a group of young guys. Hey, it's on to the

2090
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:57,360
Speaker 1: next one now, because as you saw, you know, nobody

2091
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 1: thought we could be in Minnesota go in and beat them,

2092
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 1: and that Minnesota comes out last night and plays really well,

2093
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 1: even though they lost the game, play really well. You

2094
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 1: can see It's a week to week league. So just

2095
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: because we played great on defense and great on offense

2096
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:11,640
Speaker 1: last week doesn't promise you anything moving forward. Just use

2097
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 1: that as a springboard to use that confense to carry in.

2098
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 1: But you have to have a mindset that I got

2099
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 1: to go out and whip this next team or this

2100
01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 1: next man every single play. All right, what are they

2101
01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 1: doing with you defensively? Why do we see your lining

2102
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:26,680
Speaker 1: up all over? And what more than that, what kind

2103
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:30,800
Speaker 1: of impact does it? I mean, I just have I

2104
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: think a unique skill set where I you know, throughout

2105
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 1: my career I've done a lot of different things, so

2106
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:37,639
Speaker 1: they trust me and feel comfortable with moving me around,

2107
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:42,680
Speaker 1: whether it's that end linebacker or down the three technique rushing. Um.

2108
01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:46,439
Speaker 1: It just gives us some some different looks, you know,

2109
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 1: rushing different guys after dealing with Star, you know, for

2110
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, first second down throughout the game. Here I

2111
01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 1: come on third down and giving the guard a little

2112
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 1: bit more different speed rush, mixing me and Trent and

2113
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: Nate on the outside. We're all three different types of rushers,

2114
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 1: so a TA having to deal with us as hard

2115
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 1: and it just keeps guys fresh and you never want

2116
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,640
Speaker 1: to have good football players sitting on the sideline, so

2117
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 1: you try to find different ways to incorporate everybody. And

2118
01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 1: now we have shot coming back, so we have to

2119
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 1: figure out ways we can get all of us on

2120
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: the field and getting a good rotation and everybody out

2121
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 1: there flying around stead fresh. You're getting pressure. But as

2122
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 1: they think about it and watch some of the video over,

2123
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,280
Speaker 1: it's not like the Bills the last six quarters have

2124
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:27,120
Speaker 1: dialed up a ton of different blitzer or pressures. You're

2125
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 1: doing kind of creative things to get pressure. It seems

2126
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 1: well some assimulated pressure. You know, it looks like we

2127
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,800
Speaker 1: may be blitzing you know, maybe five or six, but

2128
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:37,639
Speaker 1: we're really only really bringing forward maybe overloading the side.

2129
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 1: So we just have to continue to be able to

2130
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: execute a lot of us some you know, just executing

2131
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 1: and trying to get the quarterback really just to maybe

2132
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: pat and saying, oh, I thought they were uncovered three,

2133
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 1: but now they're uncovered two, or vice versa. I thought

2134
01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:53,800
Speaker 1: he was coming, but he's coming, you know. Do I

2135
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:55,560
Speaker 1: just dump it down and maybe we rarely up and

2136
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:58,200
Speaker 1: get a tackle for maybe a one or two yard game,

2137
01:40:58,320 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 1: or does he pat it and then it allows one

2138
01:40:59,880 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 1: of the rushers to get a sack or forcing in

2139
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:04,759
Speaker 1: air and throw, or we can maybe get an interception

2140
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: on it. What are you? What you're scouting? In films,

2141
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 1: so they tell you about how the Green Bay Packers

2142
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 1: are playing up front in front of Aaron Rodgers, he

2143
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:15,519
Speaker 1: does a good job of helping them out. I think

2144
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:19,200
Speaker 1: they have some solid pieces up there, but collectively he

2145
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 1: does a lot of things. Obviously with his legs moving around,

2146
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:23,559
Speaker 1: changing up the snap count, he does a great job

2147
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:26,600
Speaker 1: of that, giving you hard counts and even taking it

2148
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 1: down to one second. At times, it's still hard counting

2149
01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 1: you because most people you know, okay, hardcount, hard count,

2150
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 1: Especially for me, I will look up, okay, it's four seconds,

2151
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 1: it's next one, it's coming. So you're trying to get

2152
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 1: a jump and he's still a hard counting. He's gotten

2153
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: some big plays out of that where guys jump off

2154
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:44,800
Speaker 1: side and he's this is kind of Aaron Rodgers esque

2155
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: where he get a Jobe to jump off side and

2156
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 1: all the receivers just break down straight field because they

2157
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 1: know they're gonna throw a shot and maybe get a

2158
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 1: big play of pass interference out of somebody jumping off

2159
01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:56,600
Speaker 1: sides and so we have to be very disciplined in

2160
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,639
Speaker 1: our approach this week and showing some looks but also

2161
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 1: finding up so we can see the ball when we're

2162
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 1: getting off so he doesn't draw us off side and

2163
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 1: maybe create a big play because of a lack of discipline.

2164
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 1: Getting a low down from Lorenzo. Alexander Bill's a veteran linebacker,

2165
01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. You know Aaron Rodgers, right, you played with

2166
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 1: the mccau What was he like back then fifteen years

2167
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:18,960
Speaker 1: Good dude, I mean we had a lot of, you know,

2168
01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:22,360
Speaker 1: great times hanging out obviously in the doing rooms and

2169
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:24,640
Speaker 1: going out and stuff. But on a football field, I

2170
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: saw a guy that had the skill set and the

2171
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:29,760
Speaker 1: ability to play at a high level. I think that

2172
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: year his senior year at least, because he actually went

2173
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,559
Speaker 1: to Juco, And like I was telling you guys off air,

2174
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: we weren't even recruiting him. Nobody was out of Juco.

2175
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:39,519
Speaker 1: We were recruiting a guy that played for Green Bay

2176
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: two in the league for a couple of years, Garrett

2177
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:43,640
Speaker 1: Cross and then tesfor saw him on film when we

2178
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 1: off from a scholarship his first year, had to battle

2179
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: it out with another guy. Didn't even earn it out

2180
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 1: out right. I think we lost maybe a game and

2181
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,720
Speaker 1: then he got the spot and then took over from there.

2182
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 1: And my senior year were number five in the country,

2183
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: had one of the top offenses. We had two I

2184
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 1: think two rushers with a thousand yards rusher housing yards rushing.

2185
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:04,599
Speaker 1: We had um jj Arrington, Marshawn Lynch and then Jeff

2186
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:06,760
Speaker 1: what was Jeff last? And I can't think we had

2187
01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 1: another top receiver on the outside. And Aaron was putting

2188
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:10,679
Speaker 1: up some big yards. So I knew he was gonna

2189
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:12,639
Speaker 1: be able to transition and maybe have a great career

2190
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,200
Speaker 1: and obviously not a Hall of Fame career. I never

2191
01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:20,120
Speaker 1: knew that. But he had all the skill and the attitude,

2192
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:21,800
Speaker 1: the mentality. I think that's his best that he's so

2193
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 1: cool out there with how he approaches the game that

2194
01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: never really gets rattled. Or do you notice about his

2195
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 1: knee and how he's starting to recover from that, because

2196
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 1: it seems like he's getting better and better as the

2197
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:35,680
Speaker 1: week's past days. Yes, obviously yet kids getting better. He's

2198
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna feel better the longer you get away from that

2199
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: the initial injury. But he's not moving as well. But

2200
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 1: in our mind he's moving like he's not hurt. And

2201
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: that's how you got to attack him, because at the

2202
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:50,479
Speaker 1: end of the day, he's gonna put his body on

2203
01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 1: the line to make plays, to extend drives, to create

2204
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:55,800
Speaker 1: a big play if he has to. And now he's

2205
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:57,920
Speaker 1: smart and he'll slide a little bit if he needs to.

2206
01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 1: But a couple of these games, you know, watching last

2207
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:04,120
Speaker 1: week versus Washington and even in Minnesota, he's limping around,

2208
01:44:04,200 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 1: but he's getting some yards and extending some drives when

2209
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 1: he has to and being smarter about it. Our guests

2210
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:12,559
Speaker 1: lash our Great Coachell from NFL Films and ESPN said

2211
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:14,840
Speaker 1: he likes to think of Aaron Rodgers is like a

2212
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,919
Speaker 1: jazz musician who you know, he'll play with the destructure

2213
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,360
Speaker 1: of your offense, but he wants to get outside the

2214
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:22,599
Speaker 1: pocket once and while don't make plays and do different things,

2215
01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 1: you'll throw it from a different bunch of different angles, right,

2216
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,120
Speaker 1: different angles, and he can make all the throws. I mean,

2217
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:29,800
Speaker 1: he's one of those quarterbacks that rolling out to us left.

2218
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 1: And we saw this a couple of years ago in

2219
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 1: um they're playing in Arizona, rolling out to his left,

2220
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 1: pressure in his face and throws the ball fifty yards

2221
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:39,479
Speaker 1: on a dime and give his guys an opportunity to

2222
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: make a play. And he does that all the time

2223
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 1: for that playoff game, right the playoff game, Yeah, to

2224
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:46,000
Speaker 1: take it the overtime and then um, you know if

2225
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 1: he and he has a great ability to sits pressure

2226
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 1: and c D lineman with keeping his eyes down field.

2227
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:53,559
Speaker 1: So you have to be very careful about making an

2228
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:56,160
Speaker 1: inside move and not making sure your guys are covering

2229
01:44:56,160 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 1: you up because as soon as he see an edge

2230
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:01,439
Speaker 1: get lost, he's rolling out right now and looking for

2231
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:04,840
Speaker 1: guys and God start playing at backyard football jerk routes

2232
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:07,519
Speaker 1: and going deep and then he always seems to find him.

2233
01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 1: And so we have to have great eye discipline because

2234
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:11,680
Speaker 1: we know he's going to get out even though we

2235
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: want to keep him in the pocket and try to

2236
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 1: corral him. We got to have great eye discipline on

2237
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:17,640
Speaker 1: the back end and plaster your coverage and let the

2238
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: D lineman rush and get him down. And you find

2239
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:22,760
Speaker 1: the closest man in his own or your man lock

2240
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:25,120
Speaker 1: on him and not let them get away because they're

2241
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: taught to find space. Well, one of the things you

2242
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:28,720
Speaker 1: can look at there are two things. You can look

2243
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:30,880
Speaker 1: at it Aaron Rodgers and find out how important he

2244
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:33,840
Speaker 1: is to the Packers. One last year, when he wasn't there,

2245
01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 1: they fell off the face of the earth. They weren't

2246
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 1: a very good football team. This year Week one, Yeah,

2247
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: comes off, comes back and the guy comes back and

2248
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 1: leads them to a win one leg right, and that

2249
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: those two things in and m is when he's not there,

2250
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 1: and even when he's there, not one hundred percent. Yeah,

2251
01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 1: they're a different foot Its confidence, you know what you're

2252
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna get out of him. Obviously. The guy behind him

2253
01:45:57,240 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 1: is a younger guy and doesn't quite understand the game

2254
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:01,280
Speaker 1: like Aaron's. So it's definitely gonna be a drop off

2255
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 1: just because of the experience in the skill set he's not.

2256
01:46:04,160 --> 01:46:06,679
Speaker 1: He's not Aaron Rodgers, and guys around that sense team

2257
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:09,080
Speaker 1: the old lineman. Okay, where are you gonna be at?

2258
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure. Um, So, yeah, he's definitely a

2259
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:14,760
Speaker 1: game change. He's a Hall of Fame caliber player, and

2260
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 1: so we have to respect him and try to corral him.

2261
01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: And luckily he's not one hundred percent right now, but

2262
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:25,160
Speaker 1: he's closed. I'm just saying you, Ranger, Alexander here with us.

2263
01:46:25,200 --> 01:46:27,559
Speaker 1: He comes up on Friday to go through the lowdown

2264
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:30,200
Speaker 1: and let's go, dude, your first slowdown. Actually it was

2265
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: gonna be number two, but you already reference it. Yeah,

2266
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 1: I disciplined. Tell our listeners, tell me what exactly that

2267
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: means in terms of a defensive player and discipline. Well,

2268
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: I kind of mentioned it, you know earlier, just about

2269
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 1: our dbs. You know when when when Aaron gets out

2270
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:45,800
Speaker 1: of the pocket, whether he's scrambling left or right or

2271
01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 1: kind of up the middle, you have a tendency to

2272
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 1: look at him like what is he going to do?

2273
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:53,320
Speaker 1: You can't get caught watching him because the guy that's

2274
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:56,920
Speaker 1: in your zone or running around, um, if you're a

2275
01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 1: man and man is a little bit easier. But in

2276
01:46:58,240 --> 01:47:00,240
Speaker 1: your zone you have to locate him and find him

2277
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:01,880
Speaker 1: and lock on and turn it into man and man.

2278
01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:04,400
Speaker 1: Because he has a great knack, as we mentioned earlier,

2279
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,800
Speaker 1: throwing the ball anywhere with all type of angles. It

2280
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:10,759
Speaker 1: could be fifty yards down the field, thirty yards opposite

2281
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:13,360
Speaker 1: sideline and locking on him because you don't you want

2282
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: to be able to prevent big plays, and that's where

2283
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,440
Speaker 1: a lot of his big plays happens. Guy, he scrambles.

2284
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:19,720
Speaker 1: Guys are looking at him. No, go find a man

2285
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 1: lock on we call that plaster um and lock him

2286
01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 1: up so that the d line has a chance to

2287
01:47:25,040 --> 01:47:26,960
Speaker 1: either run him out of the bounds or get him down,

2288
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:29,880
Speaker 1: especially since he's not one hundred percent legwise right now,

2289
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 1: you're insects. Would be to keep an eye in him. Yeah, yeah,

2290
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:37,599
Speaker 1: don't you're Yeah, you gotta fight that you start watching

2291
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:41,559
Speaker 1: the game. Rush guys, rush. And then also that also

2292
01:47:41,600 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 1: applies to the guys at the line of scrimmers because

2293
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:46,600
Speaker 1: I mentioned also his hard accounts. You can't listen to

2294
01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:49,120
Speaker 1: to his hard accounts. You gotta dis kind of zone

2295
01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 1: that out wash the ball, get into the position where

2296
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:53,600
Speaker 1: you can see it, and just react to when the

2297
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:55,640
Speaker 1: center decides to snap it. Then you have one of

2298
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 1: the other lowdowns is of course, it's something that really

2299
01:47:57,680 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 1: helped I thought last week. I guess menso a score

2300
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 1: for score first, and that really sets the tone. And

2301
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,080
Speaker 1: that's regardless if they get the ball or we get

2302
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:06,280
Speaker 1: the ball first. You know, because if they get the

2303
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,280
Speaker 1: ball first, if we can go three and out make

2304
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 1: a punnet, maybe they get up first down and then

2305
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 1: make a punnet. We kind of Okay, we got away.

2306
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:15,519
Speaker 1: Now let's have joshing them go down and set the

2307
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 1: tone while scoring the first. And obviously if we get

2308
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:19,639
Speaker 1: the ball, we want joshing them to create a series,

2309
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:22,760
Speaker 1: get some rhythm, because the best defense is when Aaron

2310
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 1: is sitting on the bench. So if you can create

2311
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:27,479
Speaker 1: some series, elongate that, get some points out of it.

2312
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:30,360
Speaker 1: We prefer touchdowns, but just get some points out to

2313
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 1: kind of start taking the crowd out of the game.

2314
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:33,800
Speaker 1: Both sides of that so far the season, right with

2315
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore and the Chargers getting an early lead to take

2316
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:37,640
Speaker 1: your guys right out of the game, and then the

2317
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:40,000
Speaker 1: turnaround last week in Minnesota. Yeah, and also when you

2318
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:43,200
Speaker 1: score early, you know, obviously you're playing from a league,

2319
01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 1: but it also allows you when you don't get too

2320
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:47,880
Speaker 1: far behind. It always allows the office to stay within

2321
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:51,680
Speaker 1: their game plan longer, you know. So we have to

2322
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:53,960
Speaker 1: be able score first, get up on them, and if

2323
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 1: they do end up scoring some touchdowns or some field goals,

2324
01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 1: we still we don't feel like we have to get

2325
01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 1: away completely from what we played on initially in the game,

2326
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 1: and a certain element of the lowdown you think the

2327
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:06,160
Speaker 1: Bills need to produce when they're getting the red jump

2328
01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 1: get down there. Yeah, and this is really on both sides. Obviously,

2329
01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:10,640
Speaker 1: Aaron could put up fifty points on you. So we

2330
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:12,519
Speaker 1: have to make them kick field goals. And that was

2331
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:14,679
Speaker 1: the thing I talked about when we played the Charges.

2332
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: If we could have made Philip Rivers and them kick

2333
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: some field goals, we're in that game still. And you

2334
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:21,920
Speaker 1: know people are going to get yards. It's the NFL.

2335
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:25,040
Speaker 1: Everything is obviously geared towards the offense, and so if

2336
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: you give up, you know, you never want to do

2337
01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 1: this six hundred yards, but make teams kick field goals,

2338
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:32,559
Speaker 1: you know, mentally and on the scoreboard you said, we're

2339
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 1: still in this. We don't even score away, or we

2340
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 1: just need a touchdown, We're right back in it. And

2341
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:40,599
Speaker 1: I think that's always important when you're playing against guys

2342
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:43,120
Speaker 1: of the caliber of Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers,

2343
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:44,639
Speaker 1: because those guys can put up a lot of points.

2344
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:46,479
Speaker 1: And we saw like Jared Goss, if you can make him,

2345
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 1: make those teams kick field goals, and it also takes

2346
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 1: the air out of them because they want touchdowns, and

2347
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:52,840
Speaker 1: if you can make them kick field goals, they feel

2348
01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:55,640
Speaker 1: like they have a failure in their mind. This came

2349
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:57,920
Speaker 1: across my desk just today. You wrote this a couple

2350
01:49:57,960 --> 01:50:00,639
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, published in USA Today two weeks ago,

2351
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 1: about athletes, and it's totally our football here. But I

2352
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:06,080
Speaker 1: know you can handle this, and I want to get

2353
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 1: your opinion on that. You wrote a piece and I

2354
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 1: beat piece for USA Today about how important it was

2355
01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:14,600
Speaker 1: for athletes, professional athletes to vote to participate. There are

2356
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:17,360
Speaker 1: some people who say, um, stick to football, stay away,

2357
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:18,800
Speaker 1: We don't want to hear your thoughts on this, and

2358
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:20,600
Speaker 1: you say, no, that's not the way to do it

2359
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: at all, not at all. I mean, obviously, I'm a

2360
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:24,519
Speaker 1: citizen as well, and you know, the things that we

2361
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 1: vote on, the things that are near and dear to

2362
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:28,960
Speaker 1: our hearts, to you know, all us as Americans, I

2363
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:32,600
Speaker 1: have an opinion on and the way to voice that

2364
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 1: is the way I vote, and I you know, I

2365
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 1: just you know, the piece was really just giving that

2366
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:40,840
Speaker 1: charge to everybody to have your voice heard instead of

2367
01:50:40,920 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 1: just complaining a lot of times that's the easy thing

2368
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,680
Speaker 1: to do. But get involved in the political process. I know,

2369
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:47,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's kind of hard too. It's a

2370
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:50,760
Speaker 1: lot of crummy stuff around it. But if you really

2371
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 1: want some change in your community, find a candidate you

2372
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: feel real passionate about, read up on them, and vote.

2373
01:50:57,360 --> 01:50:59,680
Speaker 1: And that's how we really change our communities because you know,

2374
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:01,760
Speaker 1: I think people, oh, I can't do nothing, But if

2375
01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: you vote put somebody in place that you feel is

2376
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 1: going to work for you, you tend to get more

2377
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 1: positive things out of it versus just complaining about it.

2378
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, It's one of the things I've always thought too,

2379
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:14,160
Speaker 1: that the world on outside of football should be more

2380
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 1: like the world inside of locker room football because you

2381
01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:19,439
Speaker 1: got guys like you, me, and you have all these

2382
01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:21,920
Speaker 1: discuss nothing's off limits. You talk about You talk about

2383
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:23,880
Speaker 1: each other's wives, talking about each other's kids, you talk

2384
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,080
Speaker 1: about political views, what happened you as a kid, would

2385
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 1: happened to him as a kid, your career, their career,

2386
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 1: every you talk about everything. Nothing is off limits, and

2387
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: you can really disagree, but you're not enemies because of it.

2388
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:37,400
Speaker 1: You're not You don't dislike each other because you disagree

2389
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 1: and you try and understand each other. And that's one

2390
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 1: of the things that is really cool about football because

2391
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:44,560
Speaker 1: you can have a guy on your team that you

2392
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:48,240
Speaker 1: don't come on, man, right, right, and you don't agree

2393
01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:50,640
Speaker 1: with it, yeah, but you still teammates team, and you

2394
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:52,280
Speaker 1: still come in the next day and you continue and

2395
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:55,519
Speaker 1: you continue the conversation the next day. Yeah, and you know,

2396
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 1: there's just you finally understand each other and even though

2397
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:01,760
Speaker 1: you may not agree ever, you still are friends or

2398
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:04,599
Speaker 1: at least yeah friends, Yeah, I mean, you are, I mean,

2399
01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 1: and that's key and even closer friends. Yeah. Just having

2400
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:09,479
Speaker 1: a respect for each other and having an understanding where

2401
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:11,920
Speaker 1: you come from. And you won't have that without conversation, right,

2402
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: So you have to engage people that you normally wouldn't

2403
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:16,320
Speaker 1: gage on a certain level. And that's the thing. Every

2404
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:18,400
Speaker 1: nothing's awful. You gotta be able to talk about everything,

2405
01:52:18,520 --> 01:52:21,240
Speaker 1: and you gotta make yourself understood. And honestly, some of

2406
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 1: my opinions have changed after having some conversation with folks

2407
01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:26,840
Speaker 1: because they may be a little bit more educated about

2408
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:29,240
Speaker 1: how certain things work. And I'm like, okay, that I

2409
01:52:29,320 --> 01:52:31,280
Speaker 1: never thought about it like that. That makes sense. It's

2410
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:34,120
Speaker 1: easier to have your mind changed by someone you love

2411
01:52:34,160 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 1: and respect that it is by just some guy, right, right,

2412
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,720
Speaker 1: So when you get to know somebody and you do disagree,

2413
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,240
Speaker 1: that's when it really changes your mind because you know

2414
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:46,679
Speaker 1: how much you respect you have for them, and that's

2415
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 1: when the conversation becomes meaningful. And that's you know, that's

2416
01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:51,519
Speaker 1: why you know, I wish the whole world was like

2417
01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:54,320
Speaker 1: a locker room, because then, you know, you you get

2418
01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot more done. Yeah, yeah, you don't happen. You

2419
01:52:56,760 --> 01:52:59,400
Speaker 1: can't hide. You can't go behind the stream there, Yeah,

2420
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:02,640
Speaker 1: because when you're walking across the room, button naked, you

2421
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 1: can't hide who you are, right right. You got to

2422
01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:08,120
Speaker 1: tell the truth, yea. And that's when that's when change

2423
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 1: is made and relationships are formed, and it's it's I'm

2424
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:13,880
Speaker 1: telling you, murf, you should you should live in walked

2425
01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 1: across the local button all right, It's true. You can't

2426
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:20,639
Speaker 1: hide who you are. And that's the aid. You see

2427
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:23,200
Speaker 1: all these guys and I'm like that you're from across

2428
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:24,920
Speaker 1: the country, sound like that guy, like that guy on

2429
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 1: that team. That guy's but if his teammates like him,

2430
01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 1: that's the acid test. Yeah, you can't hide who you

2431
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,720
Speaker 1: are exactly if they because they know him, if they

2432
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:35,640
Speaker 1: like him, he's got to be Okay. Runser wrote this

2433
01:53:35,720 --> 01:53:37,519
Speaker 1: piece for USA Today, and I didn't realize. But this

2434
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:40,439
Speaker 1: past summer you actually help with voter registration, right. We

2435
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:42,479
Speaker 1: had we had a community event at the Bail Center,

2436
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:45,200
Speaker 1: and that was part of it, is having the opportunity

2437
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:47,200
Speaker 1: for people in the community to register to vote, to

2438
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:50,400
Speaker 1: hear about what's kind of going on UM, and to

2439
01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:52,240
Speaker 1: figure out, you know, when voting day is all that

2440
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:55,200
Speaker 1: information that tends to get lost into and then I

2441
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:57,639
Speaker 1: didn't know. Just trying to eliminate some of those excuses

2442
01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 1: and giving them some resources to empower them runs a

2443
01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 1: road in USA today and op ed piece. Don't tell

2444
01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:05,400
Speaker 1: athletes or anyone to stay out of politics. We share

2445
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:07,559
Speaker 1: the right to vote. One more question about Sunday's game,

2446
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:11,879
Speaker 1: UM settle a disagreement. Steve and I have had lambeau

2447
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:16,519
Speaker 1: Field sacred ground, magical place or just another stadium. What

2448
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:19,240
Speaker 1: do you think it has a lot of historical value

2449
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:23,360
Speaker 1: to it? Yeah, I agree with You're fast becoming finish

2450
01:54:23,439 --> 01:54:25,640
Speaker 1: the island of me. I mean I don't. I mean,

2451
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:28,559
Speaker 1: I'm not walking in there. Worried about the mystique though,

2452
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:32,160
Speaker 1: of see the mystique word you said you have to

2453
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:35,160
Speaker 1: worry about it. It exists, may it may exist, But

2454
01:54:35,280 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 1: I think it's so past this generation that it doesn't

2455
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:43,320
Speaker 1: matter anymore. It's it's you know, it just doesn't It's

2456
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: not the same thing. It's like Notre Dame. They don't

2457
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:47,640
Speaker 1: have they okay, the same weight as they once did.

2458
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 1: You know, twenty years ago, if you took a poll

2459
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:52,320
Speaker 1: in your locker roo, I know you got a lot

2460
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:53,760
Speaker 1: of good guys, a lot of smart guys in there.

2461
01:54:54,040 --> 01:54:56,080
Speaker 1: What percentage of guys would know if you said, hey,

2462
01:54:56,200 --> 01:55:00,840
Speaker 1: who is Vince Lombardi half a? They would know that

2463
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 1: the trophies that they would say the trophy before they

2464
01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 1: said the coach. That's what I would say, Lombardi trophy. Yeah,

2465
01:55:07,880 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 1: So the argument was, I just said it's a it's

2466
01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:12,200
Speaker 1: a great venue, it's got tons of history, but it's

2467
01:55:12,280 --> 01:55:16,560
Speaker 1: not sacred territory or anything. Now that mistake to say, yeah,

2468
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 1: Steve doesn't like it, I'm sorry. I mean, I understand,

2469
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:25,680
Speaker 1: I respector I'm saying, get off my lawn. Were walking

2470
01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:29,600
Speaker 1: in the right you listen, you probably were be able

2471
01:55:29,640 --> 01:55:35,000
Speaker 1: to play. You better not worry about Curly Lambo. You

2472
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 1: better worry about Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I'm worried about him.

2473
01:55:38,120 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 1: I'll believe me. I'm worried about him, Lorenzo. Thanks great

2474
01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 1: to see you have a great game with Alexanders. The

2475

Speaker 1: with more and One Bill's Life from One Bill's Drive

2477
01:55:48,440 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back, It's got Murphy, Steve Kassaker,

2478
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:05,880
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. We got thirty minutes or so left

2479
01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 1: in the show. And then see when I go our

2480
01:56:08,080 --> 01:56:10,000
Speaker 1: separate ways for a couple of day, Steve said at

2481
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:13,880
Speaker 1: the Foxborough to watch the to work the Patriots home

2482
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 1: game against Miami, I'm head of the Green Bay to

2483
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:18,680
Speaker 1: work the Bills road game at the I'll be keeping

2484
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 1: track of it, though, I mean, why do you do

2485
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:21,840
Speaker 1: that when you're working on the size of the app

2486
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:25,000
Speaker 1: on the phone? CBS CBS Sports app as hard as

2487
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:28,240
Speaker 1: the one I use. No, it's no. Actually the app

2488
01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:30,520
Speaker 1: makes it easy and I do it quick, and I

2489
01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 1: had to do it this last week. You know, most

2490
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:34,280
Speaker 1: of the stadiums now are up to date, and I'm

2491
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:36,160
Speaker 1: sure Lambo will be no different. They have these out

2492
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:38,000
Speaker 1: of town scoreboards, you know, I know they do it

2493
01:56:38,040 --> 01:56:40,120
Speaker 1: in One Bills. They're a new air of field they have,

2494
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, the out of town scores, you know, they

2495
01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:43,960
Speaker 1: have the scores of interest, you know, in the in

2496
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 1: the division games and or whatever, and they put them

2497
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:48,560
Speaker 1: up on going. They keep them up to date, and

2498
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 1: they they didn't do that in Carolina, but the yeah,

2499
01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:55,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't find them anywhere. If they did, I kept

2500
01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:57,920
Speaker 1: missing them. I could not find an out of town

2501
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:01,280
Speaker 1: score anywhere in that stadium. So I was like tooling

2502
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 1: along doing my thing and not really you know how

2503
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 1: you get distracted. I was into this, the game I

2504
01:57:06,200 --> 01:57:10,080
Speaker 1: was doing, and then well, I'll just say Jay Harris

2505
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:15,360
Speaker 1: tweeted me. The producer tweeted me big Caps, you know Bills. Yeah.

2506
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I was like, okay, let me check.

2507
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 1: And because I figured whatever happened, you must be an

2508
01:57:20,840 --> 01:57:23,280
Speaker 1: at least a close game or whatever. So I turned

2509
01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 1: it up and by that time, it was twenty seven

2510
01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:29,600
Speaker 1: to nothing, and I was, I was. I took my head,

2511
01:57:29,640 --> 01:57:31,480
Speaker 1: picked my phone and shook my phone to see if

2512
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:35,320
Speaker 1: it was real, slapped the phone, like thumped the phone

2513
01:57:35,320 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 1: and see if they had reversed, and sure enough, it

2514
01:57:38,440 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 1: turned out to be what it was, and there you go.

2515
01:57:41,680 --> 01:57:44,120
Speaker 1: May I was. I was had a little spring in

2516
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:47,000
Speaker 1: my step on the sidelines of Carolina Cincinnati. Every Bills

2517
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:49,160
Speaker 1: fan did the Bill's injury list. They packers not out

2518
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:52,160
Speaker 1: yet today. The Bill's injury list four players questionable, Two

2519
01:57:52,200 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 1: running backs, Leshan McCoy, Marcus Murphy, two tight ends, Charles

2520
01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:58,000
Speaker 1: Clay and Jason Crum. I do believe McCoys. I mean

2521
01:57:58,040 --> 01:58:00,720
Speaker 1: he said it himself Wednesday. McCoy said, I'm gonna it's

2522
01:58:00,760 --> 01:58:02,640
Speaker 1: easy enough to say on Wednesday, right. You know who

2523
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:07,040
Speaker 1: knows well? I think I think he'll listen. If he's

2524
01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:09,560
Speaker 1: not ready to go, they're not going to let him go. Now,

2525
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:12,520
Speaker 1: certainly he has a say in it, but you know,

2526
01:58:12,800 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 1: it comes down to his symptoms and what he's capable

2527
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:17,680
Speaker 1: of doing. They don't want him to go out there

2528
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:19,960
Speaker 1: in such a way that he's gonna last three plays

2529
01:58:19,960 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 1: and have to come right back off right, or if

2530
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:24,280
Speaker 1: he goes out there, he's going to do more than

2531
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,600
Speaker 1: just go, you know, split out wide and stand there

2532
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:30,600
Speaker 1: as a decoy or something. So if he's ready to go,

2533
01:58:30,720 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 1: if he's out there, they're gonna use him. They're gonna

2534
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 1: use him. Got a thousand responses to our Twitter poll today,

2535
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:38,960
Speaker 1: and the shady figures into it for the Bills to

2536
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,720
Speaker 1: beat the Packers Sunday, which long shot would help the most?

2537
01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:44,480
Speaker 1: Thousand responses so far. We still have time for more,

2538
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:45,840
Speaker 1: and of course you can phone us up and let

2539
01:58:45,880 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 1: us know what you think. Eight oh three fifty toll

2540
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:51,080
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2541
01:58:51,120 --> 01:58:53,080
Speaker 1: Time to do that. But if the Bills were to

2542
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:55,400
Speaker 1: win again on Sunday, which long shot would help the most?

2543
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:58,080
Speaker 1: Forty five percent of you say it would be McCoy

2544
01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 1: and the run game one hundred fifty yards more. Twenty

2545
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 1: seven percent of you say would be turnovers. Aaron Rodgers

2546
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:06,000
Speaker 1: throws two interceptions, you think that would help the most?

2547
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 1: Twenty three percent of you say Josh Allen hits on

2548
01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:10,880
Speaker 1: the deep ball. Five percent have something else. In my

2549
01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:13,400
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty and toll free one

2550
01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:16,400
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty from the

2551
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:19,280
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Andrew North, he says we need all

2552
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 1: of the above. Defense needs to play like last week.

2553
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:24,880
Speaker 1: Allen needs to throw the ball more, not run as much.

2554
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:27,440
Speaker 1: That's why we have Shady didn't have him last week.

2555
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 1: And wide receivers need to catch the ball and stop

2556
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:33,200
Speaker 1: dropping the passes. Double exclamation point even with Rogers on

2557
01:59:33,320 --> 01:59:37,080
Speaker 1: one leg, he's dangerous. Triple exclamation points, all right, nice work,

2558
01:59:37,120 --> 01:59:38,920
Speaker 1: Andrew a lot of exclamation point Wait, man, let me

2559
01:59:38,920 --> 01:59:41,000
Speaker 1: see how me that one tweet. Let me just count

2560
01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:47,240
Speaker 1: the two four seven exclamation points in a three sentence tweet.

2561
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 1: He's pretty passion making his points. See. That's why Bills

2562
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:53,920
Speaker 1: fans are the most passionate fans the NFL, because they

2563
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:57,840
Speaker 1: know how to use, accuse the most exclamation points. Yeah.

2564
01:59:58,160 --> 01:59:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't use exclamation points. I don't believe in the

2565
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't unless you know fire. If you're telling somebody fire,

2566
02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:08,960
Speaker 1: get out, okay, then you put in the exclamation points.

2567
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Otherwise they're you know, unnecessary, you don't believe, and I don't.

2568
02:00:13,360 --> 02:00:16,200
Speaker 1: I think they're overused. All right. Maybe if you're telling

2569
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:19,720
Speaker 1: somebody look out and use an exclamation point. If you're

2570
02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:21,600
Speaker 1: telling somebody, I mean, you don't write it. That's the

2571
02:00:21,640 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 1: whole point. Well, you can text somebody that you know,

2572
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 1: heads up exclamation point. Immediately you would go, WHOA, No,

2573
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:31,920
Speaker 1: I am not looking up. If he texted me what lookout?

2574
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god? What you got on your tweets for Mary,

2575
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:36,840
Speaker 1: Marty Rogers and McCoy running for one hundred and fifty.

2576
02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:39,720
Speaker 1: This means Roger stays on the sidelines and gets less opportunities.

2577
02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:43,120
Speaker 1: It will also draw the defense in, giving Josh more

2578
02:00:43,200 --> 02:00:46,560
Speaker 1: big play opportunities. So yeah, McCoy Russian having a big

2579
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:48,520
Speaker 1: day on the ground is going to be a big boost.

2580
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:53,480
Speaker 1: It will also be something that you know, for whatever reason,

2581
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:55,640
Speaker 1: the Bills haven't been able to do yet, and if

2582
02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:58,280
Speaker 1: they can do that, it'll be I think comforting for

2583
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:00,320
Speaker 1: Bill's fans to know that I've got that in their

2584
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:03,520
Speaker 1: toolbox and they can pull that out along with Josh Allen,

2585
02:01:03,680 --> 02:01:05,640
Speaker 1: the and the deep ball that they've just missed it

2586
02:01:05,840 --> 02:01:09,120
Speaker 1: this last week and on other occasions. You put that

2587
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 1: in with Josh Allen's ability to run, and then you've

2588
02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:14,000
Speaker 1: got also got a running game that's really up and going.

2589
02:01:14,120 --> 02:01:17,320
Speaker 1: And uh, that would that would mean that the Bills

2590
02:01:17,320 --> 02:01:19,600
Speaker 1: at this point four games into the season, have at

2591
02:01:19,680 --> 02:01:22,400
Speaker 1: least showed flashes in every phase of their offense that

2592
02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:24,520
Speaker 1: they've got it under the hood and they can find

2593
02:01:24,560 --> 02:01:27,520
Speaker 1: it somewhere. Here's an interesting tweet I don't understand totally

2594
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:30,560
Speaker 1: from Marcel Wilson on this topic. For the Bills to

2595
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:33,080
Speaker 1: win on Sunday, which long shot would help them, he

2596
02:01:33,160 --> 02:01:36,560
Speaker 1: respond most. He responds, if Rogers throws two picks, the

2597
02:01:36,760 --> 02:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Bills would be in control of the game and Shady

2598
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:42,000
Speaker 1: would likely have over one hundred yards rushing. Anyway, a

2599
02:01:42,120 --> 02:01:45,040
Speaker 1: couple of deep hook ups with Alan and the wide

2600
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:49,320
Speaker 1: receivers would be the chef's kiss. What's that? Exactly? What

2601
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:51,280
Speaker 1: that's it? That's gotta be it right where you kiss

2602
02:01:51,320 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 1: the tips of your fingers and open them up. Is

2603
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:56,200
Speaker 1: that what that means? I think that my guess. Okay,

2604
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'd take it for granted. That's what it is.

2605
02:01:58,480 --> 02:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you for educing. That's that's a nice

2606
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:05,320
Speaker 1: little picture. And your guy postman Pilot saw a fake

2607
02:02:05,400 --> 02:02:06,920
Speaker 1: punt last night from the Rams and it got me

2608
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:09,280
Speaker 1: thinking about a few we converted years back. How about

2609
02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:12,960
Speaker 1: some trickery or a kick punt return TD I missed that?

2610
02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:15,640
Speaker 1: Sure you. I'm sure you do too, Steve Tasker, game

2611
02:02:15,720 --> 02:02:18,800
Speaker 1: changing special teams play can break breathe momentum into the

2612
02:02:18,880 --> 02:02:22,720
Speaker 1: team like no other. Yeah, he's right. Um. There was

2613
02:02:22,720 --> 02:02:25,240
Speaker 1: an old thing on Good Morning Football where they talked

2614
02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:27,560
Speaker 1: about what a difference of block punt can make because

2615
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 1: because of the chaos it can that ensues afterwards, and

2616
02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:34,240
Speaker 1: how fun it is to catch it. Everybody's so off guard,

2617
02:02:34,320 --> 02:02:36,600
Speaker 1: even you know the play by play call goes crazy

2618
02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:41,000
Speaker 1: and gets caught off guard. It's fun. I mean, it's fun.

2619
02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm there was nothing like block in a punt in

2620
02:02:43,280 --> 02:02:47,560
Speaker 1: a game because it is so unexpected and it's it

2621
02:02:47,720 --> 02:02:49,200
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun. I've heard you say this

2622
02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:52,360
Speaker 1: and I distinctly we call it the laite great Bruce

2623
02:02:52,440 --> 02:02:54,840
Speaker 1: de Haven, our mutual friend, talking about how when you

2624
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:58,960
Speaker 1: have a punt block that is absolutely disaster, the absolute

2625
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:01,360
Speaker 1: worst thing that could happen to a special team's unit

2626
02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: when you get one block. Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's

2627
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:07,840
Speaker 1: worse than a turnover. It's yeah, it's it's in your face.

2628
02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:10,560
Speaker 1: It's yeah, I mean it's there's nothing worse because it's

2629
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Whenever you start preparing for a season, the first special

2630
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:18,440
Speaker 1: team you put in is your punt team because it's

2631
02:03:18,480 --> 02:03:20,840
Speaker 1: the most important. That's how important it is to make

2632
02:03:20,920 --> 02:03:24,560
Speaker 1: sure that every punt gets off the punter's foot untouched.

2633
02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:28,960
Speaker 1: The protection is key, and when it happens against you,

2634
02:03:29,080 --> 02:03:32,320
Speaker 1: you're always backed up. You're it's just because it adds

2635
02:03:32,480 --> 02:03:34,760
Speaker 1: it piles onto a bad thing that already happened. Your

2636
02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:37,240
Speaker 1: offense getting stopped and then to pile on a block

2637
02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:41,880
Speaker 1: punt um. That means two phases of your game stink.

2638
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah you know. Yeah. As far as Postman is it

2639
02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:49,400
Speaker 1: pilot pilot. As far as his tweet he saw the

2640
02:03:49,440 --> 02:03:53,600
Speaker 1: fake punt last night, How where do you drive the line? Like,

2641
02:03:53,760 --> 02:03:56,360
Speaker 1: if you fake a punt, you succeed. You want to

2642
02:03:56,400 --> 02:03:59,160
Speaker 1: do it every punt after that? You can't. Right where

2643
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,200
Speaker 1: do you say, we can't keep doing that, They're gonna

2644
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:05,240
Speaker 1: get us. You do it whenever. Here's the thing. You

2645
02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:08,000
Speaker 1: do it when it's there. When you see something you

2646
02:04:08,080 --> 02:04:10,280
Speaker 1: can create and say, hey, they always do this, always

2647
02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:14,040
Speaker 1: do that. If they always do this, if if if

2648
02:04:14,120 --> 02:04:16,320
Speaker 1: a return, if they set up in a certain front

2649
02:04:16,360 --> 02:04:18,680
Speaker 1: and they always run the end guy off and they

2650
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:21,080
Speaker 1: leave this end open. If they always leave that end open,

2651
02:04:21,200 --> 02:04:24,760
Speaker 1: you can snap it, release your run back and throw

2652
02:04:24,800 --> 02:04:26,120
Speaker 1: it to him, or just have your punch or run

2653
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:29,120
Speaker 1: off that edge. You can take advantage anytime your punt

2654
02:04:29,200 --> 02:04:33,120
Speaker 1: return team you've watched and they're scouting, anytime they become predictable.

2655
02:04:33,800 --> 02:04:35,600
Speaker 1: You can take advantage of it in some way, shape

2656
02:04:35,680 --> 02:04:37,040
Speaker 1: or form. If you feel you've got the guys to

2657
02:04:37,080 --> 02:04:41,320
Speaker 1: do it, and usually you always do. Anytime your opponent

2658
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:45,280
Speaker 1: is predictable, they are vulnerable. That's when the fake punts

2659
02:04:45,320 --> 02:04:48,440
Speaker 1: and fake kicks happen. Now when you call it, that's

2660
02:04:48,480 --> 02:04:50,200
Speaker 1: totally up to your coaching staff. I know a guy

2661
02:04:50,320 --> 02:04:54,520
Speaker 1: like Bill Parcels. He used to say, we always called

2662
02:04:54,600 --> 02:04:57,440
Speaker 1: fake punts when we were in our end because they're

2663
02:04:57,440 --> 02:04:59,600
Speaker 1: gonna get good feel position here. We're gonna try and punt,

2664
02:04:59,600 --> 02:05:01,280
Speaker 1: like if we're our own end zone or an inside

2665
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:04,200
Speaker 1: our own twenty or whatever, they're gonna get good feel position. Anyway,

2666
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Let's try and get it so we can change the

2667
02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:10,480
Speaker 1: field position in our favor and keep the football. Let's

2668
02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:12,960
Speaker 1: if we if we're at a midfield or past the

2669
02:05:13,080 --> 02:05:15,160
Speaker 1: fifty and we'll get that gray area where we finally

2670
02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:17,680
Speaker 1: do have to punt it. We're gonna punt it because

2671
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:19,840
Speaker 1: we're putting them inside there in we're getting a good

2672
02:05:19,840 --> 02:05:21,480
Speaker 1: break out of this no matter how we slice it.

2673
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: Let's not give them good field position if the bad

2674
02:05:24,480 --> 02:05:27,840
Speaker 1: thing happens and it doesn't work. So there's two and

2675
02:05:27,920 --> 02:05:29,560
Speaker 1: then the other ways is like you never want to

2676
02:05:29,560 --> 02:05:31,000
Speaker 1: do it out of your own end zone. Because then

2677
02:05:31,040 --> 02:05:33,960
Speaker 1: it's catastrophic and you always want to do it where

2678
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:36,360
Speaker 1: if it's something bad happens, you don't give them great

2679
02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:38,520
Speaker 1: feel position, just give them good field positions. So there's

2680
02:05:38,560 --> 02:05:40,520
Speaker 1: two sides of the coin. It all comes down to

2681
02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:42,280
Speaker 1: your coaching staff. Do you Everard think you want to

2682
02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:46,680
Speaker 1: coach special teams? Now? Why you know what you're doing coaching? Yeah,

2683
02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:49,560
Speaker 1: coaching is a lifestyle, man, It's not my lifestyle. It's

2684
02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:52,680
Speaker 1: a I mean, I I would have something to offer

2685
02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:56,960
Speaker 1: some guys, but you know that's a that's a lifestyle.

2686
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:59,839
Speaker 1: It's not who I don't think it's who I am. Besides,

2687
02:06:00,240 --> 02:06:03,560
Speaker 1: between market would be difficult enough to coach. Sometimes they

2688
02:06:03,680 --> 02:06:05,880
Speaker 1: make the best between Marvel Leaving and Bruce Ave and

2689
02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:08,840
Speaker 1: you played for arguably two of the best what ten

2690
02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:11,520
Speaker 1: special teams coaches probably all time? Right, those two are

2691
02:06:12,120 --> 02:06:14,840
Speaker 1: on that list? Doubt Yeah, yeah, Hey, we got a

2692
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:17,160
Speaker 1: Packard's injury report that we want to read to you.

2693
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:19,440
Speaker 1: One player out and he's still on the roster, which

2694
02:06:19,440 --> 02:06:23,000
Speaker 1: is surprising. Mohammad Wilkerson, the former Jet, former Jet first

2695
02:06:23,040 --> 02:06:25,440
Speaker 1: rounder who they acquired in free agency this year. He's

2696
02:06:25,440 --> 02:06:26,920
Speaker 1: been out. I think the season is over, but he's

2697
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:28,680
Speaker 1: still on the roster and he is listed as out

2698
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:31,040
Speaker 1: for Green Bay this year or this week. One player

2699
02:06:31,120 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 1: listed as doubtful. That's right guard Justin McCrae, a starter

2700
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:36,960
Speaker 1: listed as doubtful, hasn't practiced all week, not expected to play.

2701
02:06:37,160 --> 02:06:40,320
Speaker 1: And they have five players questionable, including Aaron Rodgers. And

2702
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 1: they want to bet that he plays. Questionable is fifty fifty?

2703
02:06:42,800 --> 02:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Which fifty you think he comes up? Yeah? Yeah, he

2704
02:06:44,920 --> 02:06:47,360
Speaker 1: is a questionable limited participation in the last two days.

2705
02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Starting linebacker Nick Perry has a concussion. Questionable today, limited

2706
02:06:52,520 --> 02:06:56,560
Speaker 1: participation today for them, Packers did not practice today. The

2707
02:06:56,640 --> 02:07:01,200
Speaker 1: Friday practice are an estimation. They say. Cornerback starter Kevin

2708
02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:06,440
Speaker 1: King questionable with groyn, safety Josh Jones questionable with an ankle,

2709
02:07:06,760 --> 02:07:11,000
Speaker 1: and wide receiver Randall Cobb, who came up with the

2710
02:07:11,360 --> 02:07:15,040
Speaker 1: injury hamstring limited yesterday, did not practice today. Randall Cobb's

2711
02:07:15,040 --> 02:07:18,040
Speaker 1: going in the wrong direction. Yeah, he was. He practiced

2712
02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:20,720
Speaker 1: full on Wednesday and then Thursday he was limited. Today

2713
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:23,040
Speaker 1: he was limited. He yeah, he seemed he probably injured

2714
02:07:23,120 --> 02:07:25,760
Speaker 1: himself in practice. It looks like from from the injury report,

2715
02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:29,400
Speaker 1: although I don't know from this distance, we can't be sure,

2716
02:07:29,560 --> 02:07:34,640
Speaker 1: but that's it. Yeah, he's uh, and that's listen, and

2717
02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:36,920
Speaker 1: we talk about the Bills issues all the times with injuries.

2718
02:07:36,920 --> 02:07:39,280
Speaker 1: Who were worried about Trent Murphy this week? Shack Lawson,

2719
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:43,640
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be ready? Lashawn McCoy, Marcus Murphy. Every

2720
02:07:43,720 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 1: team is in that exact same boat. You just change

2721
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the names, and it's who's gonna and how much a

2722
02:07:50,160 --> 02:07:52,720
Speaker 1: difference those players are gonna make, what kind of ripple

2723
02:07:52,760 --> 02:07:55,960
Speaker 1: effect those have across the offense, and also what kind

2724
02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:57,680
Speaker 1: of effect they'll have on the game plan those teams

2725
02:07:57,680 --> 02:08:00,920
Speaker 1: can implement. It's there's so many moving parts in football.

2726
02:08:00,960 --> 02:08:03,080
Speaker 1: It becomes more and more complicated as you get closer

2727
02:08:03,120 --> 02:08:04,680
Speaker 1: and closer to the game and the injuries start to

2728
02:08:04,840 --> 02:08:11,040
Speaker 1: be random. Yeah, it's I think that I think that

2729
02:08:11,440 --> 02:08:14,200
Speaker 1: affects the outcome of games more so than a lot

2730
02:08:14,240 --> 02:08:16,600
Speaker 1: of people give it credit for NFL True and false.

2731
02:08:16,640 --> 02:08:18,360
Speaker 1: We got about a minute to do this, Steve. Here

2732
02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:21,640
Speaker 1: we go. It's presented by Yancy's fancy New York chartist

2733
02:08:21,680 --> 02:08:25,000
Speaker 1: in chiefs Jared Goff. Another great performance last night, four

2734
02:08:25,080 --> 02:08:27,640
Speaker 1: hundred some yards passing last night. The Rams are four

2735
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:30,080
Speaker 1: and oh Jared Goff four hundred and sixty five yards

2736
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:34,720
Speaker 1: five touchdown passes. He's becoming an elite quarterback boom. True. Absolutely,

2737
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:36,880
Speaker 1: not just because of him. It's the coaching he gets

2738
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:39,240
Speaker 1: out there and the talent he's surrounded with. But yes,

2739
02:08:39,440 --> 02:08:41,880
Speaker 1: Jared Goff is an elite quarterback. I would say, right now,

2740
02:08:41,960 --> 02:08:44,200
Speaker 1: what do you I would say, no, he is not.

2741
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:48,600
Speaker 1: I think he's He's the beneficiary of some great coaching

2742
02:08:48,680 --> 02:08:52,240
Speaker 1: and some great talent around him, and he has to

2743
02:08:52,320 --> 02:08:54,000
Speaker 1: prove a lot more to me and I have to

2744
02:08:54,240 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 1: learn a lot more about what he's doing and what

2745
02:08:56,040 --> 02:08:58,200
Speaker 1: he means of that team before I say yeah, he's

2746
02:08:58,240 --> 02:09:02,320
Speaker 1: the greatest number two number two true or false. Drew

2747
02:09:02,400 --> 02:09:06,320
Speaker 1: Brees can sustain an eighty percent completion rate. False, No

2748
02:09:06,400 --> 02:09:08,800
Speaker 1: one can do that. Now that's false. He's playing, he's

2749
02:09:08,800 --> 02:09:11,840
Speaker 1: not playing in a vacuum. Yeah, he hasn't done in

2750
02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:14,720
Speaker 1: his entire career, and he's not in his prime anymore,

2751
02:09:14,720 --> 02:09:18,760
Speaker 1: although he's still extremely good. I say no, And finally,

2752
02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:20,920
Speaker 1: and this will play into your weekend because Steve's off

2753
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:23,560
Speaker 1: for the NFL on CBS, headed to Foxboro for the

2754
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:26,160
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Dolphins. True or false, This is what

2755
02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 1: we're waiting to seeing here this one and two star

2756
02:09:28,160 --> 02:09:31,520
Speaker 1: for New England. This is just the usual Patriots stumble.

2757
02:09:31,560 --> 02:09:35,160
Speaker 1: They'll be okay, true, false, What do you think. I

2758
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:38,560
Speaker 1: gotta say true. It's probably true. They're gonna get Edelman

2759
02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:41,640
Speaker 1: back after this week. That'll give one more weapon to

2760
02:09:41,720 --> 02:09:44,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady that he trusts. Gronkowski will be harder for

2761
02:09:44,480 --> 02:09:46,640
Speaker 1: him to be double teamed. They'll have to use some

2762
02:09:46,760 --> 02:09:50,560
Speaker 1: different defensive alignments, more predictable, different defensive alignments. So yeah,

2763
02:09:50,560 --> 02:09:52,760
Speaker 1: i'd say true. I'm gonna say false, and I'm going

2764
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:55,080
Speaker 1: to really hope that is false. I hope this is no.

2765
02:09:55,240 --> 02:09:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope this is the beginning of the end.

2766
02:09:57,480 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 1: We've waited for it, right, We've talked about it every year.

2767
02:09:59,720 --> 02:10:01,680
Speaker 1: They do this in September, get off to a slow start.

2768
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:04,120
Speaker 1: He's forty one years old, Brady, of course I'm talking

2769
02:10:04,120 --> 02:10:05,960
Speaker 1: about he doesn't have a ton of weapons on offense.

2770
02:10:07,320 --> 02:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Is Josh Gordon gonna be a difference maker? Josh Gordon

2771
02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:11,720
Speaker 1: has got to play football first. Before you can say that,

2772
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say false. I think this is the beginning

2773
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:18,040
Speaker 1: of the end for New England. They may still win

2774
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:23,200
Speaker 1: the division. I really think it's the beginning of the

2775
02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Keatum dramatic music. Yes, Wow, Yes, Steve and I back

2776
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:30,000
Speaker 1: with more. One Bill's Live from One Bills Driving. This

2777
02:10:30,120 --> 02:10:46,920
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. What do we learned? Presented by

2778
02:10:46,960 --> 02:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's homes and businesses with

2779
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:53,240
Speaker 1: the finest and security and home theater the preferred alarm

2780
02:10:53,280 --> 02:10:55,040
Speaker 1: at home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. We had

2781
02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:57,840
Speaker 1: my buddy Mark Kelso, our buddy Mark Kelso in at

2782
02:10:58,160 --> 02:11:01,000
Speaker 1: twelve noon or so. Mark's gonna be the color analysts

2783
02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:03,000
Speaker 1: on the Bills Radio Network Sunday for the Bills in

2784
02:11:03,080 --> 02:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Mark talked to us about the Packers offense

2785
02:11:06,240 --> 02:11:10,440
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers. Here's what he said. When you look

2786
02:11:10,480 --> 02:11:13,240
Speaker 1: at them and you start to analyze their offense, you're saying, God,

2787
02:11:13,280 --> 02:11:15,280
Speaker 1: it's gracious. They throw the ball all the time. They're

2788
02:11:15,320 --> 02:11:18,040
Speaker 1: like seventy percent past thirty percent run, so they have

2789
02:11:18,200 --> 02:11:21,480
Speaker 1: no balance. They're looking for personnel mismatches. They're looking for

2790
02:11:21,640 --> 02:11:24,360
Speaker 1: scheme mismatches where they feel like they can If you're

2791
02:11:24,400 --> 02:11:26,480
Speaker 1: playing some zone, they're gonna run a double dig with

2792
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:28,320
Speaker 1: two guys in the middle of the field and expect

2793
02:11:28,440 --> 02:11:30,120
Speaker 1: one guy that you're going to cover one of them,

2794
02:11:30,160 --> 02:11:31,320
Speaker 1: and one of them is going to be open, and

2795
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:33,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is going to deliver. If you're if you're

2796
02:11:33,760 --> 02:11:35,680
Speaker 1: if you're favoring a strong side, they're gonna run a

2797
02:11:35,720 --> 02:11:38,200
Speaker 1: personnel mismatch to the week side with a single receiver

2798
02:11:38,320 --> 02:11:40,240
Speaker 1: or Jimmy Graham over on that side, or they're gonna

2799
02:11:40,280 --> 02:11:41,800
Speaker 1: use the back and bring that back out of the

2800
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 1: back gild. If you play off, he just might change

2801
02:11:44,480 --> 02:11:45,880
Speaker 1: the play and throw it to that guy out there

2802
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:48,560
Speaker 1: and get some blockers and see if that playmaker can

2803
02:11:48,640 --> 02:11:51,480
Speaker 1: make a play in space, and and and he's gonna

2804
02:11:51,520 --> 02:11:53,760
Speaker 1: recognize what you're trying to do, and then he's going

2805
02:11:53,840 --> 02:11:56,040
Speaker 1: to take advantage of it. You can do a lot

2806
02:11:56,160 --> 02:11:58,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. We had great co sell on the show

2807
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:02,720
Speaker 1: from NFL Matchup on THEESBN. Longtime producer at NFL Films,

2808
02:12:02,920 --> 02:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Greg go Sell talked about how well the Bills rushed

2809
02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:09,680
Speaker 1: the passer last week in their game at Minnesota. I

2810
02:12:09,840 --> 02:12:13,320
Speaker 1: thought the defense played really well. I thought that particularly

2811
02:12:13,400 --> 02:12:15,840
Speaker 1: in their in their nickel, they were really interesting and

2812
02:12:15,920 --> 02:12:17,960
Speaker 1: some of the things they did, you know, things that

2813
02:12:18,040 --> 02:12:20,080
Speaker 1: I really picked up on tape. They were really very

2814
02:12:20,200 --> 02:12:23,200
Speaker 1: multiple with what they did with their fronts. I thought

2815
02:12:23,240 --> 02:12:25,840
Speaker 1: their nickel profile, what the Bills did with their nickel

2816
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 1: was a lot of front multiplicity and a lot of

2817
02:12:28,320 --> 02:12:32,120
Speaker 1: coverage consistency, and I thought it played out really really well.

2818
02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:36,760
Speaker 1: They had some very impressive and effective selective blitzes. Normally

2819
02:12:36,840 --> 02:12:39,640
Speaker 1: shown as not a high percentage blitzer, but he had

2820
02:12:39,760 --> 02:12:45,440
Speaker 1: some really selective pressure concepts, different concepts that worked really

2821
02:12:45,520 --> 02:12:48,400
Speaker 1: really well. Greg co Sell on the Buffalo defense last week,

2822
02:12:48,400 --> 02:12:50,680
Speaker 1: we'll see about this week. On Twitter today and on

2823
02:12:50,760 --> 02:12:52,440
Speaker 1: the phones, we were talking about what the Bills, what

2824
02:12:52,600 --> 02:12:54,920
Speaker 1: long shot do the Bills need and would help the

2825
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:57,800
Speaker 1: most in beating Green Bay, And with more than a

2826
02:12:57,920 --> 02:13:00,240
Speaker 1: thousand votes in we wind up with forty five sense

2827
02:13:00,240 --> 02:13:03,000
Speaker 1: seeing the run game, Lashawan McCoy and the run game

2828
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:06,080
Speaker 1: get one hundred fifty yards or more twenty six percent,

2829
02:13:06,120 --> 02:13:09,200
Speaker 1: say Aaron Rodgers a couple of interceptions that would help Buffalo.

2830
02:13:09,440 --> 02:13:11,680
Speaker 1: Twenty four percent say Alan hits on the deep ball.

2831
02:13:11,720 --> 02:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for your participation in that. Here's what I hope Steve,

2832
02:13:14,920 --> 02:13:17,280
Speaker 1: I hope to hear it. I hope that your game is.

2833
02:13:17,760 --> 02:13:19,680
Speaker 1: Don't be mad, but I just hope it's it's a

2834
02:13:19,800 --> 02:13:22,840
Speaker 1: one sided, lopsided loss for the Dolphins, just because I

2835
02:13:23,040 --> 02:13:24,680
Speaker 1: can't stand to see him on top of the division.

2836
02:13:24,920 --> 02:13:26,840
Speaker 1: And I hope the game I'm going to Buffalo and

2837
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:29,320
Speaker 1: Green Bay is close, contested, exciting. What do you think

2838
02:13:30,160 --> 02:13:32,160
Speaker 1: why would Yeah? I mean you always hope for that.

2839
02:13:32,200 --> 02:13:34,600
Speaker 1: As a broadcaster, everybody, you're not really hoping for one

2840
02:13:34,640 --> 02:13:36,320
Speaker 1: team to win or the other. If you're down the middle,

2841
02:13:36,360 --> 02:13:38,920
Speaker 1: I think you're probably hoping for a close Bills win. Yes,

2842
02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:43,120
Speaker 1: I think it could happen. Oh. Absolutely. I think the

2843
02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:45,440
Speaker 1: world is different going into week four than it was

2844
