1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Oh, good time, Steve Tasker, Tex dome Tex done text time.

2
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Welcome afternoon, and welcome to Orchard Park, rainy, drizzly, dreary,

3
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, New York, New Era Field. A little bit

4
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: of rain here today. So the Bills start practicing indoors

5
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: today where they be long as a matter of fact,

6
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, John Murphy, Steve Tasker, We belong indoors today.

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: Matches are mood here today, a little bit live, a

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit. We're still too close to

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Monday night's uh lost to get over it yet, but

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: we're getting over it. Well. They're not standard pad anyway.

11
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: They signed Terrelle prior today, Um, it's yesterday, two days ago, yesterday.

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see if they can certainly,

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: and I know this is a wide receiver. I played

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: at Murph and I don't want to jump right in

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: down my head. First. We're gonna talk about Halloween and

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: all that in a minute. Up, Yeah, where are you listen?

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: Who's had like twenty five conversations leading in to this,

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: as you might imagine, But they you know, they could

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: plug him in a little bit, we'll see, you know,

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: they could plug Terrell prior and just if they can

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: plug in a quarterback, they can, they can plug in

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: a wife. You know, we'll see if they can. If

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: he helps, y'll see. I'm not holding out much hope

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: for it, like it's gonna be this transformative addition, this

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver that was cut by the Jets. But you know, injured,

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: try yeah, injured. He had an injury settlement. He's all

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: right now he's got her surgery. He had growing injury. Right,

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: do you have a little growing surgery too? Right? I

29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: don't know if he had surgery, I don't think so.

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 1: I think he just needed a couple of weeks off. Anyway,

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about the fun stuff. Did you do it?

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: What was the fun you dressed up? If you want

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: to go to Brownie first and then talk about I

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: don't know, I didn't that dress up? I did? All right,

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Let's let's go to Having said that, let's go to Brownie,

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: let's go to practice. Chris Brown Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: dot Com standing by indoors in the ad Pro Sports

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Training Center. Chris, are you there? Hello? Chris? Yeah? Some hare?

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing? How was it looking in there? Well?

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds is out here, but he is on the

41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: side in a red non contact jersey, and he is

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: not dressed for today's padded practice. He's out here in

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: sneakers and a red non contact jersey, so presumably a

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: non participant here at practice again today, which means he

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: has yet to reach step four of the return to

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: participation protocol. I looked here only in a couple of

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: minutes to look before I came on with you guys.

48
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: I do not see Trent Murphy out here either, so

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: he's looking like a long shot for this weekend as well.

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, Kyle Williams rest days yesterday. They should be

51
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: ready to go, right, Yeah, they're both dressed out here

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: and ready to roll for practice today, so that's certainly

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: a good sign. And then I'm just checking for other guys,

54
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: and you know, I do not see Derek Anderson out here.

55
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's out here, but he's just stretching. He's not

56
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna be doing anything today. Can I just say this?

57
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to avoid being, you know, mister negative here,

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: but it stinks that the quarterback of the offense, the

59
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: rookie first round pick in the offense and the rookie

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: first round pick quarterback of the defense are both out

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: right now, doesn't it. I mean, it's just not I

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: just wish we need a break, damn it. That's what

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: we eat here, don't Yeah. Well, I mean, you know,

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: and it's sitting at two and six. You know, the

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: at least the underlying benefit you would hope for is

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: that players like Tremaine Edmonds and Josh Allen are getting

67
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: valuable experience on the field. Now. Yeah, they're not even

68
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: getting that now. So at least when they hit the

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: field next year, they're that much more you know, experience,

70
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: know what to expect, and you know, you look for

71
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: that jump from year one to year two. Often that's

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: a by product of getting a lot of time on

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: the field in year one. Yeah, yeah, that's not I mean,

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: it's not catastrophic. They are missing a week, no question

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: about it. They got the bye week coming up. It

76
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: looks like I would anticipate, unless things are way worse

77
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: than we thought, Josh Allen's going to start to throw

78
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: a little bit in the next couple of weeks over

79
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: the bye week, maybe come back and maybe have a

80
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: shot to return after the bye week, and of course

81
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds is a concussion I mean, and not for nothing,

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: but I've had a number of those myself. He'll probably

83
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: bounce back from a I mean, let's not forget he's

84
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: twenty years old, and young's youth bounces back a little

85
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: faster than old guys like me. There's no reason to

86
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: think these are catastrophic injuries that are going to hamper

87
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: their long term success. Yeah, I mean, really, the only

88
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: light that was shed on Josh Allen's injury was by

89
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Jim Brandon Bean when he appeared on WKBWTV for the

90
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Monday night pregame show on their network, and he basically said,

91
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: we don't think that Josh Allen is an injury that

92
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: we have to worry about being season ending at this point.

93
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: The fact that he said at this point didn't completely

94
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: close the door, but it sounds like their anticipation that

95
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: he is that he is going to be back at

96
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: some point here in the second half of the season,

97
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: I hope. So we're with Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo

98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com. He's on the field at practice ATA

99
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: inside the ed Pro Sports Training Center. So we're looking

100
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: at it day two, Practice Day two with Nathan Peterman, right, Chris,

101
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: and what do you think, what have you seen from

102
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: him as he moves into a second day of this

103
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: practice week. Yeah, he's just getting started here in individual

104
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: position drills. Obviously Matt Barkley's over there with him. Is

105
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: the only two healthy quarterbacks right now. And you know,

106
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I asked him yesterday, you know, the last two times

107
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: you've had to step on the field, it's been in

108
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: a relief effort, you know, in Houston and then the

109
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: last couple of plays in Monday night's game against the Patriots.

110
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: I said, how much benefit do you feel you get

111
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: personally by running all the first team reps in practice

112
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and now here again on Thursday to prepare

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: yourself for the game on Sunday. And he basically said,

114
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: no joke. It's gonna help, just from the timing element

115
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: with the receiving targets, just from the repetition of running

116
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: the plays that they're going to execute in the game

117
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: plan on Sunday. These are all benefits you know, that

118
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: you get as the starting quarterback through the course of

119
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: the practice week when you're stalling the plays on Wednesday

120
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: and Thursday, so there's an inherent benefit just there by

121
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: being the number one in practice on Wednesday and Thursday

122
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: and presumably Friday. With the way this thing is shaping

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: up right now, well, that may be the only break

124
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: he gets all week is taking the first teen repsuc

125
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: is he's going up against the Bears defense that's every

126
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: bit as good as the Buffalo Bill's defense, albeit it

127
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: may be without Khalil Mack. Is there any thought or

128
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: word out of the Bill's coaching staff for the players

129
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: about how good the Chicago Bears defense is. Well, I

130
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: mean Peterman said it yesterday. They're a good front. You know,

131
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: they play that three four front, and you know the

132
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: guys they have up there are good. Akeem Hicks the

133
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: defensive end is having a very good season. So is

134
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Goldman the defensive tackle. So you know, they've got some

135
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: big hogs up front, and then they got linebackers that

136
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: can run and make plays. Leonard Floyd kind of picked

137
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: up the slack very well from a pass rush perspective

138
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: last week, harassing Sam Darnold to the Jets in what

139
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: ended up being a game where the Jets could only

140
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: manage ten points and this Bears defense. So yeah, I mean,

141
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Peterman knows they've got their work cut out for him,

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: whether they have Mac or not. And it's a secondary

143
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: that's also very opportunistic. I talked to Peterman about that

144
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: yesterday as well. And there's a team you know that

145
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: has eleven interceptions in seven games and that's good enough

146
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: for second most in the league. So it's an opportunistic defense.

147
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: It's a defense that can fly around, it's a defense

148
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: that can get pressure on the quarterback. And oh, by

149
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: the way, they have one of the most respected defensive

150
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: coordinators in the league and Vic Fangio, who's been around forever. Hey.

151
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned this to Seve yesterday. Chris and we carried

152
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman's news conference on the show yesterday. I was

153
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: really impressed and not surprised, what impressed by just the

154
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: way Nathan his temperament, his demeanor, and he knows what

155
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: people say about him. He knows what the idiots on

156
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: the internet have to save on him, and the idiots

157
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: who you know, spend their lives on Twitter, you know,

158
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: making jokes about Nathan Peterman, and I'm sure he knows that.

159
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem to care about that, and I like

160
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: his kind of upbeat, low key demeanor. I thought he

161
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: each showed me a lot yesterday. He knows, he knows,

162
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: he knows better than anybody about the pick sixes and

163
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: and the interceptions and the five picks against the Chargers

164
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: last year. And I like the fact that it doesn't

165
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: seem to bother him. He talked about being confident in

166
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: having the support of his teammates. I like that about

167
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: him yesterday. Well, yeah, I would say maybe more than

168
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: any other young quarterback that I've been around, he takes

169
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: all the negatives that pop up in his life, being

170
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: on the field or off, and he takes it. You know,

171
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: you've heard you've heard players say, well I gotta learn

172
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: from this, I gotta learn from my mistakes. This guy

173
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: actually does that. Like he he looks at like his scope,

174
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: his optics are. This is a negative. This sucks. But

175
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna learn from this so I don't have to

176
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: repeat it and live through it again. And I know,

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, the snarks out there are gonna say, well,

178
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: that didn't help him in Houston, or that didn't help him,

179
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 1: you know when he made his start in you know,

180
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: against Los Angeles last year. The fact is, you know,

181
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: learning from your mistakes. Doesn't happen overnight at the NFL

182
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: level when you have four starts under your belt in

183
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: your career, right, and which is go ahead? I'm sorry, Chris, No,

184
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: that's fine, go ahead. Well, I'm just gonna say people, sometimes,

185
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: you know, the snarks, the idiots, for lack of a

186
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: better term, they talk about Nathan Peterman like, oh, we

187
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: all know Nate Peterman. Now, no, you don't. You don't.

188
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: He's had three NFL starts. You know, he's had some

189
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: rough luck and he's had some bad performances. I don't,

190
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, I don't pretend to know what kind of

191
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback he is. I know this when you look

192
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: at his college career, he didn't have interception problems. So

193
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: we're still learning about Nathan Peterman. That's all I wanted

194
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: to say, right, And I think, on top of that,

195
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: if there's one thing that I believe he has to

196
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: guard against. And here's another thing that I asked him yesterday.

197
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, I talked to him and because I felt

198
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: in that Houston game when he came on in relief

199
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: he threw the touchdown pass. Yeah, you know, game's on

200
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: the line. The next time he's got the ball in

201
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: his hands. They're deep in their own terror tory, and

202
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: I think he was a victim of trying to do

203
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: too much, something that Lashawn McCoy, a ten year veteran,

204
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: was a victim of last week against the Patriots, trying

205
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: to do too much in the run game and hit

206
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: a home run when really you should just take the

207
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: three or four yard game and live for the next

208
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: play instead of putting your team in a long down

209
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: and distance situation. You know, by trying to too much,

210
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: take too much upon yourself. You gotta let the game

211
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: come to you, no matter the circumstances in the game.

212
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's one thing that Peterman really has

213
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: to go into the game with this week. Let the

214
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: game unfold, don't take any unnecessary risks trying to make

215
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: something happen. Let the team as a whole try to

216
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: get off to a fast start. Don't put it all

217
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: on yourself. If there's one thing that maybe he's been

218
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: guilty of in the time that he's been on the

219
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: field with the Bills, it might be that, Chris. We're

220
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: watching practice here at the ad Pro Sports Center. I

221
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: see Matt Barkley out taking snaps with Peterman. They're having conversations.

222
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: Barkeley's also got a knee brace on his knee. Is

223
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: that is there any word about how, you know, how

224
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: healthy is how if that's going to be an issue?

225
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: Obviously they don't think it will be. Yeah, it could

226
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: just be a guy that likes having that as somewhat

227
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: of a security blanket, with it being his front leg.

228
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: You know, that's often the leg that is a potential risk,

229
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, with a pass rush up the middle of

230
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: the field. Not that he's gonna see it in practice today,

231
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: and some guys just like having it from a prior

232
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: injury from earlier in their career, just as a safety blanket.

233
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we wouldn't know anything until we get the

234
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: injury report after practice today to see if he pops

235
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: up on there and doesn't seem to be having any

236
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: trouble moving around in his drop back right now. So

237
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: it's a significant brace though, Yeah it is. It is

238
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: a pretty sizable one, not one that looks to be

239
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: inhibiting his motion at all. I don't think he's favoring

240
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: that leg right now, but we'll keep an eye on it. Well.

241
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: One guy that doesn't have a knee braceau as you say,

242
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: right there, number ten, Terrell Prior, he's got no brace

243
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: on his knee at What are your expectations for Terrell

244
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: Prior against Chicago? Well, I don't even think it's a

245
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: lock that he's dressed on Sunday, although I think his

246
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: chances are better than fifty fifty because I asked coach

247
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: that yesterday. You know, how optimistic are you that he's

248
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: going to be able to pick up the scheme and

249
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: execute at least a package of plays for you on

250
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: offense this Sunday? And he said, well, you know, we're

251
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: gonna wait and see how he comes through the week. Now.

252
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Granted he said that before he practiced Wednesday and before

253
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: he's out here today, So you know, talking to Terrell,

254
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: he's got all the first and second down plays down

255
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: pat talking to him, because I asked him yesterday, said,

256
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: having been a former quarterback, would you consider yourself a

257
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: quicker study than most, you know, knowing the volume of

258
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: material he's had to deal with in the past as

259
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback, And he said, already got first and second

260
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: down in the back. I know all those plays already,

261
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: he said, And I'll give credit to my fellow receivers.

262
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: They did help me get lined up properly on a

263
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: couple of plays in practice yesterday, said, but I felt

264
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: that I was able to play fast in my first

265
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: practice with this team. Now we also need to take

266
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: it to account that it was an abbreviated practice yesterday.

267
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: It was not in pads, it was not super intense

268
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: because coach McDermott and his staff were trying to give

269
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: players who were just two days removed from a Monday

270
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: night game a little bit less work to do and

271
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: get him off their feet as soon as possible. Today

272
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: is going to be the test. This is going to

273
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: be the longer practice, the most physical practice of the week,

274
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: before they back off a little bit again tomorrow. So

275
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: you know, does he feel differently when he's in a

276
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: more intense practice today. But he was very impressed with

277
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: the pace in the tempo of practice even yesterday. So

278
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: he's encouraged and he thinks he's going to be part

279
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: of the game plan on Sunday. We'll see what the

280
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: coaching staff ultimately decides. I think this guy's I mean,

281
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: I think at the very least he's part of a

282
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: red zone package where you can take advantage of his size.

283
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: You know, in the corners of the end zone. I

284
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: think he's potentially part of a third down package, big target,

285
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: large catch radius that's going to help by going up

286
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: and getting the football, you know. I think these are

287
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: areas where he can help this team if he's not

288
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: ready to accept the full breadth of a game plan.

289
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Havn't been all here all of forty eight hours. I'm

290
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: gonna speak for Steven if we get a vote, we

291
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: want to roll Prior out there on first down, first play.

292
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: I don't care who he knocks out of the starting

293
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: line up at the receiver spot. Is he a slot guy,

294
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: an outside guy? What? How do you think you could

295
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: be used there, Chris, I think he's an outside guy. Yeah.

296
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: They need size out there. Really, they only have Benjamin

297
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: There Really isn't anybody of mismatch like size out there

298
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: that plays big, if you know what I mean. I mean, Yes,

299
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: they have Andre Holmes. He's six foot five, but he's

300
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: not all that. He's a wirrey framed player. He's about

301
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten pounds. He's not shielding the physical

302
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: cornerbacks in this league from the football Toorell Pryor is

303
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: six four two twenty eight I mean, he's big enough

304
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: to shield a defender from the football and be open

305
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: even when he's not open, if you know what I mean.

306
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: I got a question for you if if Prior does

307
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: get into the lineup, does dress on Sunday, who sits down?

308
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: Who cares? Yeah, I don't know that it matters much.

309
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Holmes is probably still active because of his

310
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: special team's contributions, you know, but it's probably Cam Phillips,

311
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, the guy that's been active the last couple

312
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: of weeks and brought up from the practice squad, but

313
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: really hasn't fielded much time anyway. And here's the other thing, guys,

314
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: And you'll see this on Buffalo bills dot com if

315
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: it's not up already very soon. I did a piece

316
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: on Terrell Prior that's on the website today. And here's

317
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: the thing. If you ever wanted to add a wide

318
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: receiver to your roster that is familiar playing with quarterbacks,

319
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: multiple quarterbacks in the span of a season, it's Terrell

320
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Prior seventy seven catches, over a thousand yards receiving and

321
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: four touchdowns playing with five different quarterbacks in Cleveland in

322
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. And with that, we gotta get going right

323
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: in here. Thanks Chris. All right, Chris got it, Chris Brown,

324
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: Bills Insider, Buffalo. That's an amazing stat. Five different quarterbacks

325
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: seventy seven catches. Yeah, and he's not a Listen Terrell

326
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: Pryor is not shrinking, Violet. If you've heard something that,

327
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: we'll listen. Let you listen to some of the sound

328
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: later in the show that he was obviously interviewed by

329
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: the local media in front of his locker yesterday or

330
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: the day before. The guy's got a lot of confidence,

331
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence he's been He's bounced around the league,

332
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: no question about it. You'll probably get varying reports as

333
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: to why he's bouncing around the league, but there is

334
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: some physical ability and he does bring that to the table.

335
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how the Bills utilize it.

336
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: They ain't need to use him. Let's listen to what

337
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: he said, Terrell Pryor. We try to get round the show.

338
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: He will not be on the show today, but he

339
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: did talk to the media yesterday and here's what he

340
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: had to say about if he can still play at

341
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: a high level ball. I'm not being cocky. I just

342
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: know how I how I study and how I work

343
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: and man and how I practice man like, I compete

344
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: at a high level, and I expect high things from myself.

345
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: I expect high things from this from my from the offense.

346
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, just because we had a couple

347
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: of bad games or whatever we didn't score, that doesn't

348
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: matter to me. What matters is this week, you know,

349
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: coming out and competing, you know, and uh, and and

350
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: holding ourselves to a high standard. You know. And just

351
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: because we lost some games doesn't mean we can't win

352
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: or we can't put things together. We have believe and

353
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: I believe, I believe wherever I go. You know, I

354
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: just had that energy and that passionate about football. So

355
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: that's where I'm at with it. You guys can say

356
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: he's a baser. I don't care. You know, that's what

357
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: I believe. And you know they always say to about

358
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: a guy, you know, you are what you believe you are.

359
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: So we gotta believe that we're gonna be successful. And

360
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: I gotta believe I'm would be successful. So that's how

361
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: I feel. I was gonna say he's a by sir,

362
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: would you say that? I don't know him. I don't

363
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: even say that about you birth. Oh I am oh,

364
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: I am Darrell Prior and the talent that he brings

365
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: in and he had, you know, he was a successful

366
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: college quarterback at Ohio State. So he was asked yesterday

367
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: if there's any thoughts that with the Bills, the quarterback

368
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: situation the way it is, terrelle pryor think that he

369
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: might play quarterback here. Here's what his answer was to

370
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: that question. We got great quarterbacks, man, we just gotta

371
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: gotta pick him up, and we just got practice hard, compete.

372
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, I truly believe that. I mean, I think

373
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: this weekends will be different, and I think that whoever's

374
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: in behind the center, we're gonna have a great game.

375
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: And uh, you know we can. We're compete with this

376
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: team that was coming in here. So that's what I believe.

377
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: It's not something that you addressed one step at a

378
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: time when you in any discussion on these No. I

379
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: mean I haven't played you guys know if you watch

380
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: my film, I mean I can throw some plays, but

381
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: for this win, I won't make it. You guys will

382
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: cut my throat. He'll run me out of Buffalo. That's

383
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: been done before. Yeah, joining the list. I like his

384
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: enthusiasm though. I like his belief. Yeah, he's I think

385
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna commit, he's gonna want to contribute. And I

386
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that they're bringing a guy like that

387
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: in obviously with his his attitude. Um, you know, you

388
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: kind of feel from an interview like that and from

389
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: watching the guy play, you're you're gonna get a full effort. Yeah,

390
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: and that's they need it. I think that's yeah. I

391
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: think they need that. Hey, well, here's where we need

392
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: from you, your input as to where the Bills go

393
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: from here. We know the situation they're in. They've got

394
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,199

Speaker 1: plan they can they can use this week against Chicago.

416
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: If they don't turn it over, they're gonna have a chance.

417
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: Their defense is gonna keep him in this The Chicago

418
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: offense with mister Trubisky has been effective at times. But

419
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: you're not facing you know, uh, some of the quarterbacks

420
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: the Bills have already faced it. You're not. It's not

421
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, it's not Joe Flacco. It's not uh uh

422
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck or Philip Rivers. Uh. Mister Trubisky is a

423
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: second year quarterback playing with a very good defense. They're

424
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: doing it with the same kind of philosophy that the

425
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills wanted to do it too, but they're not.

426
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: They're not turning it over. And they've had one quarterback

427
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: and he's been in there and stayed healthy all through

428
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: the year. He was established last year when he came

429
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season, and Trubisky's playing,

430
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: uh good enough for them. Uh. They've beaten three teams.

431
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: They've beaten right four and three. They've been fourth three,

432
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: they've beatn four teams. They beat the Jets, they beat

433
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I had this. They beat uh, Tennessee the

434
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: Jets last week, and before that, they beat they want

435
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: Before that, they'd beat Tampa Bay arizonas in Seattle, Tampa Bay, Arizona.

436
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: So those are the teams they've beaten. U Chicago Bears

437
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: are doing it the same way. The Bills are gonna

438
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: do this. If things if another neither team turns the

439
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 1: football over, this game is going to be a very

440
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: low scoring game because the Chicago Bears will struggle against

441
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: this defense, and if the Bills can hang on to

442
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: the football and not turn it over, they're gonna have

443
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: a chance. Terrell Prior is a great wild card to

444
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: throw in there. I don't know how effective he'll be

445
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: or how much, how many opportunities they'll be able to

446
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: afford him. But let's face it, there's no holds barred.

447
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills a gotta go all. I mean,

448
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: this is like a playoff game. Every game has got

449
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: to be like do or die. You lost, you got

450
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: no reason not to go forward a little and you

451
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: know we talked about it yesterday. There's no reason not

452
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: to go for it with five seconds left and a half,

453
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: give it, give it a heave, and I expect the

454
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 1: Bills to do more that in the remainder of the year.

455
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: Best game plan for the Bills offense against Chicago. What

456
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: do you think if it's a call eight oh three

457
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

458
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: two fifty Kevin on the line from Buffalo, Go ahead, Kevin,

459
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: You're on the year. Oh hi, guys. The key of

460
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: this game is prior react is key to the entire offense.

461
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: So the rest of the year is prior. Realize that

462
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: the Bills have three receiving touchdowns in their last fourteen games.

463
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: Three receiving touchdowns, that's it in fourteen games. L Prior's

464
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: two receiving touchdowns in the last two games. Okay, you

465
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: have Derek Anderson zero touchdowns through wide receivers in the

466
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: last fourteen games, Tried Taylor zero touchdowns three receivers in

467
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: the last pourteen games. N Peterman has two touchdowns at

468
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: least to the receivers in the last fourteen games, and

469
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has won. That's it. I think they have

470
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: five touchdowns in the last fourteen games of the passing game. Yeah,

471
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: well they've had backs, tight ends get touchdown. Do you

472
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: think do you really think changing out the wide receivers

473
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: gonna make Nate Peterman more effective and throwing it? Do

474
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: you think? I mean you think that one guy? You

475
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: think it's the receivers and not the quarterback and the

476
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: pro and the switch out of the quarterback is I mean,

477
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: you had Derek Anderson, you had uh, Nate Peterman in

478
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: he had Josh Allen in um, I mean the last

479
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: fourteen if you're talking about Tyrod Taylor as well. So

480
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, is that you really think changing Terrell Pryor

481
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: is going to be the elixir? Yeah, because it's going

482
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: to open up the running game. Terrell Pryor is a

483
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: legitimate wide receiver the Bills, right now have a two

484
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: in the one spot, a three in the two spot,

485
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: and they don't have a number one receiver. He is

486
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: a number one receiver. If he's a number one receiver,

487
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: why why are the Jets release him? Because he's hurt

488
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: and he apparently he's not hurt now the Bills passed.

489
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: You know, if the Bills got him on the field,

490
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fel This guy will completely change the offense. Okay, Kevin,

491
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty optimistic. And I know this. He is a

492
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: physical specimen. He's a big, tall, rangy guy. He's got

493
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: some speed. He wasn't I mean, he's not drafted as

494
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: a Julio Jones, AJ Green, Calvin Johnson, you go down

495
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: the list kind of guy. He was looked at as

496
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: a guy who could contribute as a wide receiver and

497
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: maybe find a niche on a team where he can

498
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: fulfill a role like an Adam Feeling somebody like that.

499
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: A guy who is like a number two receiver next

500
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: to a guy who was like one of those other guys.

501
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: A fast guy. He's not going to outrun people, although

502
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: he's not slow, but he could be an ingredient. Maybe

503
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: he could be also, and I liked, and I've seen

504
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: guys like this as well in my own experience. You

505
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: get into a locker room and a guy comes in

506
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: who's who's good, but he makes other guys better because

507
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: of his personality, because of his work ethic, because of

508
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: his practice habits, because of his you know, the words

509
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: he says and the way he is in meetings. He's

510
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: a catalyst for other guys on the team to get better.

511
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks look at him differently. They throw him the

512
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more when they think when there's

513
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a doubt. They give him more opportunities,

514
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: and he changes the way other guys perceive their own career.

515
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: A young guy like Zay Jones might see something in

516
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior he says, you know, I like that, I'm

517
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna do it a little more of a catalyst for

518
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: an offense to get a little bit of a spark

519
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: that affects other guys on the roster. I would hope

520
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: that would be the case for a guy like Terrell Pryor,

521
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: given his confidence, given his energy, given the fact that

522
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: he's kind of probably got a little something to prove,

523
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: don't you think so. I think all that's in play

524
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: and in the most optimistic scenario, all those things happen.

525
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: All right, well, break, we're back with more. I want

526
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: to know what's the best Bill's offensive game plan for

527
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: this Sunday against Chicago. We'll talk it over with you

528
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: when we return. One Bill's Life presented by Kalaida Health

529
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. It is

530
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,360

533
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: quiet Halloween at the at the Murphy household last night.

534
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: I see we had a couple of trick or treaters.

535
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: I let my wife handle them. To be honest, I

536
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: didn't feel like he didn't go to the door. No,

537
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: I didn't want to answer any Bell's questions from anybody,

538
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: even from a little four year olds. I was afraid

539
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: they're the little three year olds. I'm gonna say, they're

540
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: starting Peter in what you know? I didn't want to know.

541
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: I got you, but no, I'd plitical. I would look.

542
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm not a big Halloween guy, I admit it. I

543
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: get it. I mean it's a little kids holiday, it's

544
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: not an adult holiday. I agree. Oh yeah, so why

545
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: dress up the well, because I have little kids, I

546
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: got grandkids, so I had to get home early because

547
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, they got to do it early in the

548
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: day because it get dark dark early. So the grandkids

549
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: came over and you know, you know, bless me, bless

550
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: his heart, my son. They get the whole family dressed up.

551
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: You know, him, his wife and the two kids. Right,

552
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: so he's you know, he's Pooh Bear. Oh, she's Cana.

553
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,440

00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: was awesome. So that was going on. So they came

557
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: over and then after that we all went over to

558
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: actually to their house because they live in a neighborhood

559
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: where they got you know, they've got the parade. I'm

560
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit out. I'm out a little bit.

561
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm on the fringes of the village. But so you know,

562
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: then you know, you have the you know where five

563
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: kids come up, they leave and by the time they

Speaker 1: I was, so I was like, those don't take those right.

601
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: So later on I get a couple of and these

602
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: little older kids, right, they're like the eight or nine.

603
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: There's three girls and they're a nice nice costumes. They're

604
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: just on the cusp of starting to think about being

605
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: too old for this, but they were doing it and

606
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: they were having they were adult and they were having fun.

607
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: So I so I put the bowl out and they

608
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: were like dang, you know, and I was like, you

609
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: know what, forget it. I reached my hand into the bowl,

610
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: grabbed a handful, stuck it in one, grabbed another hand

611
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: in the other, and another, like three handfuls. And those

612
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: girls looked at me like, I you know you're saying.

613
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: I was, Yeah, I was like, you know, the guy

614
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: who saved the whole holiday for him. They couldn't believe

615
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: it that you could hear him tittering the whole you know.

616
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: They were like, oh, what don't it's all the way

617
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: down the sidewalk. They were so exciting, you know, it

618
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: was like what fifty cents worth the candy? Another question

619
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: for you, and you make a good point, what is

620
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: the cutoff age? I mean I recall as a little

621
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: kid when I was maybe i'd say seventh grade, right,

622
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: So what do you twelve? Start to double thing? Yeah?

623
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: You still you're walking out there and you got some

624
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: lame costum on and you're thinking, is this really working

625
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: now at age twelve? Well? Litterally working for me? Wouldn't

626
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: that rather be have soap and windows or throwing you know,

627
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: toilet paper up in trees? Is this really working for me?

628
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: Going door to door getting candy? And here's your pain too,

629
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: You start to have to balance is how much you

630
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: really do like candy and how much of an idiot

631
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: you feel like dressing up? Yeah, like a like and

632
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: the opportunity when you do, you know, some some mischief,

633
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: low grade vandalism, right, I mean that's a there's an

634
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: appeal there. Maybe in a herpe house. Oh I grew

635
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: up in Lockport, you know. I was like, okay, you

636
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: have we cross the line yet? Do we soap windows?

637
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: Do we? That's yeah, it's a strike. You strike a balance.

638
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: And plus, I think is the home atmosphere too. I mean,

639
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: you gotta get the okay with your mom and dad

640
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: not to go to Grandma's house or whatever to you know,

641
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: you gotta do that, the whole family thing. Just but

642
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you, there's just too much. And maybe this

643
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: is why I'm not a huge Halloween fan at this

644
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: stage in my life. There was just too much angst

645
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: about Halloween. When you get when I got to be

646
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: twelve and thirteen, do I dress up to And I

647
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: love candy? She said, like to get some Eminem's, But

648
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, can I really put some big costume on? You?

649
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Gotta remember I deserve Eminem's if I don't have a

650
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: good costume. Yeah, you gotta you gotta know, it comes

651
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: full circle because like I told you, you know, now

652
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: you this is a big thing. Parents dress up for

653
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: their kids. Oh yeah, and they come up too with you,

654
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, with the kids to the thing and it's

655
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: and that's kind of fun. I mean, that's a family thing.

656
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: You take picture and you look back on that, you know,

657
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: it makes you think, well, I had good parents. You

658
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: know my kid, did your parents dress up with you? No, nor,

659
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: it's not a thing now, it's not a thing. It's

660
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: not wasn't a thing. Then it's a thing now because

661
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: it was a kid's holiday. Not well, it's still a

662
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: kid's holiday. But you gotta get it, you know, to

663
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: have the kids have the fullest pleasure, you got to

664
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: make sure that you're in it with them so they

665
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: feel like it's okay. So my listen, my son had

667
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: was My granddaughter did not call my son dad the

00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: the door, he puts it back on for them. And

673
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: even when he didn't have the head on, she was

674
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: calling him Pooh Bear all night. Yeah, I mean so,

Speaker 1: it and know that they think it's a lot of fun.

681
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: And plus, you know, with their parents doing it up big,

682
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: it was fun. They had a little few guests over

683
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: stopped by the house and adults are standing around having

684
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: a polite conversation, a few drinks and some holiday food,

685
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, the kids are just loving it.

686
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: It was fun. I gotta tell you. I was. I'm

687
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: kind of back on board with Hallow. You know, I

688
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: was kind of like you for a long time. I was, well,

689
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: I had fun. I was watching the Bears in the

690
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: Jets game. It was ready for you watch a condensed

691
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: her to the Brodact broadcast through the commercials. Obviously he

694
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: Live for making Peterman jokes on Twitter and people calling

695
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: in thinking prior is going to radically change the offense.

696
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: I can't figure out why I torture myself by ever

697
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: tuning in. Hey, j I can't either. Why would you

698
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: if it's torture? Why what's your tune in? What's the

699
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: matter with you? Go get a job or something. What

700
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: do you mean you don't torture yourself? The show is

701
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: not worth torture. We're you know, we're not auditioning out

702
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, gospel here. You know, if you don't like it,

703
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: don't tune in, don't tune in. It torture myself. Isn't

704
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: that crazy somebody would do that? And yeah, I am

705
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: shaming people who make Peterman jokes on Twitter. I think

706
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: it's it's gone beyond the it's gonna beyond the pale.

707
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a little bit much. He's

708
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: had some rough games, He's played some really bad games

709
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's just getting started in his NFL career.

710
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: Don't tune in if if it tortures you, Why would

711
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: somebody do that? If would you listen to a radio

712
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: show that you considered torture anyway? Is a straight line?

713
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: Or is that I supposed to punch line and say, yeah,

714
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: it's I take part in one every day? Or you

715
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: know I'm listening to no exactly. Let's go to markets

716
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: almost too easy? Mark, go ahead, you're on the ear

717
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: of this. Hi, it's Mark him. Mark, Yeah, go ahead,

718
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: Mark well? First of all? Thirteen to cut off age

719
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: for Halloween? Thirteen? Is that like a state? Why do

720
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: you come to thirteen because you're thirteen? You're a teenager?

721
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: I get it? Yeah, okay, is it? I can? I can?

722
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: I can get on board with that. All right. Now,

723
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the offensive coordination. It doesn't matter

724
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: who they put a quarterback, the way they're coordinating this

725
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: offense or not playing to the player's strengths. Please tell

726
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: us what the strengths are. Jim Kelly wanted you as

727
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: a receiver because we ran out of receivers and you

728
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: caught the ball and you did well. It's football. It's

729
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: a game. You gotta play to your player's strength. And

730
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: why what do you think? Why do you think the

731
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: Bills offensive coordination? Do you think they're not playing to

732
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: the bills players strength. Speed. They don't have the extra

733
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: burst of speed to get that fifty yard and I'll

734
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: beat the receivers. So you gotta you gotta design plays

735
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: that play. That's there's there's no secret to what Bill

736
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: Belichick does most of the time. Pray, he's only throwing

737
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen yards and you know he's get You

738
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: gotta play with your players strength. One more time, Mark,

739
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: what are the strengths of this particular group of receivers,

740
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: running backs, offensive line? They made it to the NFL,

741
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: but they're not the fastest, they're not the speediest, but

742
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: they could be strong. They can get in there, don't

743
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: We option for this offense is to put three rideouts

744
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: that I'm all running in the middle and throw it

745
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: to the middle guy. That's well, here's you're kind of

746
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: talking in circles, Mark, And I get what you're saying.

747
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: You don't like, you know, the offense, and but you're

748
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: telling them to play to the strengths of the of

749
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: the players and the team. And then you're saying they

750
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: don't have any strengths and the players of the team,

751
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: and and you're blaming the coaches for that. I mean,

752
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: I get it. It's frustrating sometimes to watch. I think

753
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: it's particularly frustrating when your team never scores a touchdown

754
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: for you know, a couple of games stretch. That's really frustrating.

755
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: I think the key, one of the keys that they

756
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: can fix right away, particularly for a guy like Peterman,

757
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: is it they just do not turn the ball over.

758
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: This team is going to have a chance to beat

759
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: literally anybody they play this year if they don't turn

760
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: it over, because their defense is that good, and their

761
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: defense at times can get turnout turnovers like it's their job.

762
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: Like it's like, I mean, it's like they're a machine.

763
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: They can turn them out in a hurry. So if

764
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: the Bill's offense doesn't turn it over and the Bill's

765
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: defense does get turnovers, this is a team that can

766
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: beat anybody they line up against this year. No, but

767
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: as bad as their offense has been, and it's been

768
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: epically bad, they've had three different starting quarterbacks that through

769
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. They have they can't

770
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: run the football they're having They're struggling at times protecting

771
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Their receivers are having trouble getting open at times.

772
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: There has been epically bad performances, particularly on the scoreboard,

773
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. But even given all of that,

774
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: this is a team that can beat anybody they line

775
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: up against if they just don't turn the stinking football over.

776
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman has been his career, his young career, has

777
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: been hallmarked by that very thing. Thus far. We all

778
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: know that if he can just not do that throw

779
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: it over the guy's head into the third row instead

780
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: of trying to fit it in, If he just throw

781
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: it away and punt it away, this team's much better.

782
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: That's the one thing I would love to see this

783
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: team do. And I know Nate Peterman. It may end

784
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: up that he goes eleven for twenty five instead of

785
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: fifteen for twenty five with five picks or four picks.

786
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: I'd rather see him go eleven for twenty five for

787
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: eighteen or one hundred and ten yards than you know,

788
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: throw an interception. I mean, that's really the basically thing.

789
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: And I'm marked the college just brought up you got

790
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: to not beat yourself first, and I think that's what

791
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman has fallen into during his short career. If

792
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: he just doesn't turn it over, if they just don't

793
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: turn it over. This defense is good enough to give

794
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: them a chance, and I think they're good enough in

795
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: the long run to take advantage of it as many

796
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: times as they don't. Let's go to al. I'm the mine.

797
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: I'll go ahead. You're on the air with USOK, love

798
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: you show, Thank you, Hall of Famer. I got I

799
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: want to ask one question you guys, ever seen feed

800
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: him in before last year got drafted when he played

801
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: against Clemson and he beat Clemson. Yea, I've seen that game. Yeah,

802
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: it's impressive. Yeah, but you tell me that he can't

803
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: play as a quarterback, I don't see it. I'm old school.

804
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: The guy can play if you protect them. I think

805
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be an outstanding quarterback. Well, he can be.

806
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, Alan, You're right, but he's got

807
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: a lot to learn. He's got a long way to go.

808
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: He's brand new, and we're treating him like he's been

809
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: in the league for ten years. I mean, we've we've

810
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: all done this. We all treat Nate Peterman like he's

811
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: this old school guy who's been around for thirty five years.

812
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: He's been behind Tyrod Taylor for one year. He's got

813
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: three NFL starts. Yeah, he's got a ton to learn.

814
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: He's and like we've said, you know, like every day

815
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: this week, he doesn't get the rope that Josh mc

816
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: mc Josh Allen does. He gets some protection, at least

817
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of protection. The offensive Lindess just horrendous

818
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, I get I get you. But what

819
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: happens if it's the same offensive line in front of

820
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman as it was against Josh Allen for Josh

821
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: Allen and the one and it was for Derek Anderson

822
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: who got concussed. I mean it's the same offensive line.

823
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: So is Nate Peterman expected, as a guy in his

824
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth start to overcome that. I think he can.

825
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: I think you give him some protection. I think a

826
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: lot of people there's gonna be a bandwagon that's gonna

827
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: be so big jumping out Peterman's bandwagon, protective guy. I

828
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be extended. Well, I got thanks for

829
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: calling out. You're right, and I tell you, Murphy and

830
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: I were laughing, not laughing, that's not true. We were

831
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: astonished that after Nate Peterman came in and had the

832
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: game in Houston where he threw for the touchdown, gave

833
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: him the league and then you know, through the pick

834
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: six to lose the game, and it was you know,

835
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: it was kind of the same thing. We were still

836
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: getting calls like al who said, you know, there's something

837
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: about Nate Peterman. They want to see him successful, they

838
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: want to see him get a better chance, or he

839
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: didn't get a good enough chance. Even in the midst

840
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: of the darkest moment of Nate Peterman's career, people were

841
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: calling for him the team to give him a better opportunity.

842
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: To me that maybe that's just Bills fans, you think.

843
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: I think people root for the guy. It's clearly he

844
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: is a you know, he's a great guy and a

845
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: guy who I think has earned the right to be

846
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: treated with some respect, although some don't. And I think

847
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: people root for a guy like that, I really do.

848
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: I think that's what we're witnessing a break. We're back

849
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: with more One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive, and

850
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back. In One Bill's

851
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive. I'm John Murphy Steve Tasker alongside,

852
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: and we're coming to you live from our One Buffalo

853
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: studio inside the ad Pro Sports Training Center. On the

854
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: other side of the wall, right over there. I just

855
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: took a look. There's about the fifty eight Buffalo Bills

856
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: in practice right now, getting ready for Chicago. We're gonna

857
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: talk a lot more about this game tomorrow. Hey, the

858
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: Bears made the big switch this week, right early in

859
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: the week, firing Hugh Jackson and their offensive cord near

860
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: to Todd Hayley and hiring former Bills head coach Greg Williams. Yeah,

861
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: I said the Bears. I mean the Browns. They hired

862
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: former Bills head coach Greg Williams as the new head

863
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: coach of the Cleveland Browns, and he met the media

864
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: yesterday and talked a little bit about his history, including

865
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: his time in Buffalo. Did you hear this? Here's what

866
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,919
Speaker 1: he said. Since I left Buffalo, I've had eleven letters

867
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: sent in to interview for head coaching jobs and and

868
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: and all of them behind the scenes, I have, and

869
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: I have and four of them I didn't even have

870
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: to show up, just signed a contract and come. But

871
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, the structure has to be correct, and you

872
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: know I have my thoughts on how things have to

873
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: be done. I like things here a lot. Okay, I've

874
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: said this couple times in the last week or two.

875
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: I like Greg Williams. He was very deep and actually

876
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: a good guy to work with here when he was

877
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: here back at what fifteen and eighteen years ago now,

878
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: But those kind of comments makes everybody scratcher. It said, really, Greg,

879
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: eleven inquiries about being a head coach, four of them

880
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: where you didn't even have to show up for an interview.

881
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: Don't look at me. I didn't you look at me

882
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: like I said it. I didn't say it, Gregg said it. Yeah,

883
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: it's stunning that he would. I know he has a

884
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: high opinion of himself, but come on, man, maybe it's true.

885
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: I don't Maybe it's true. There's some owners out there

886
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: that would you know, they're that are due that. I

887
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: don't know if there's eleven of them. Certainly he's probably

888
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: been asked to interview a sure place. There's absolutely no

889
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: question about. He's a stellar defensive coordinator and he's got

890
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: a little head coaching experience back here in Buffalo. He

891
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: when he was here in Buffalo, they had zero talent

892
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: on the roster. He was asked to, you know, fix

893
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: it and didn't. And he didn't get a chance to

894
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: do that. He actually had a huge amount of improvement

895
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: from one year to the next. He won five more

896
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: games the next year than he did the year before.

897
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: Wasn't enough to save his job in the third year.

898
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: I think you can you know, whatever you want to

899
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: say about it. I thought, then, listen, I knew the

900
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: guy could coach. There's no question about it. He can

901
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: really coach. He knows it. I think one of the

902
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: problems he had here in Buffalo was he never gotten

903
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: his offensive staff correct. He had to change guys out

904
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: all the time for whatever reason. He was always tinkering

905
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: with his coaching staff. I never thought he got a

906
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: coaching staff put together that he liked and was going

907
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: to be productive for whatever reason. I thought that was

908
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: one of the problems he had here in Buffalo. But

909
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm like Hugh Murph, the guy had a lot to offer, Yeah,

910
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: including almost limitless ego opinion of himself, which I think

911
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 1: people are onto. Brian Billick won a Super Bowl coaching

912
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, and he had a tweet about Great's

913
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: contention that he had eleven head coaching inquiries. William said

914
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: he's turned down multiple head coaching jobs, and Brian Billick

915
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: had something to say about that. Me too, me too,

916
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 1: that's kind of funny. Um, maybe it's true, as you said, Steve,

917
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how can you disprove it? But eleven

918
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: letters to interview for head coaching job for them, I

919
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: didn't even have to interview. Nobody hires a coach like that. Hey,

920
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to interview. Just come over and b

921
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: our head coach. Really four teams and seven others saying

922
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: come on, we want to interview you. Okay. I don't

923
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: know what he's making and I get it there is

924
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: also had the year out right with the bounty gate.

925
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you think that would slow down the

926
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: knocks on his door? If you know what I mean,

927
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: I could have been, they could have been many of

928
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: them could have been before that. Yeah, but there's no

929
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: doubt he's respected as a coordinator. And I think too,

930
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean, for for whatever you know, for whatever you

931
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: think about it, I do think, Um, he's had some opportunities.

932
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: But you know, well, I don't know. I just I

933
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: just it's amazing that, you know, I don't know if

934
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: the opening, if the opening press conference as the interim

935
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: head coach of the Cleveland Browns is the best place

936
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: to throw that info out there. But you know, what,

937
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: are you gonna say? He does have a high opinion

938
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: of himself. He's got a lot of confidence. There's a

939
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: lot of people around the league that know he can

940
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: really coach. We'll see if he gets it done. I

941
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: would he didn't say this, but I would be shocked.

942
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: And I did say this yesterday, but he didn't. I

943
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't have taken that job if I'm Greg Williams if

944
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to say, hey, if if

945
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: A happens, if B happens, or if C happens, I

946
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: get the job outright. You don't interview anybody else. You

947
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: give me the job if I can do a B

948
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: or C, and I'm probably I don't know if why

949
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: he didn't say that or why maybe he was asked

950
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: that in the media, but I think that's the question.

951
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: Number one. What's it going to take for you to

952
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: keep the job? Obviously you got to win games? How

953
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: many games? What's the team got to look like? What

954
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: did Haslam say? What did the owner Jimmy Haslam say

955
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: to you about getting the job and what it's going

956
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: to take. What's he want to see? If you to

957
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: keep the job of the Cleveland Browns. I really want

958
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: to know. I don't care about the jobs he turned down.

959
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: I know this too. Guys turned down jobs. We've seen.

960
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: I mean, look at ask Josh McDaniels. I mean, guys

961
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: turned down jobs both on the record and off the record.

962
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: So it's it'll be interesting to see what happens in

963
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland and what it takes for him to keep that

964
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: job and if he can. Okay, great, good to hear

965
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,479
Speaker 1: from you. I'm glad he's working as a head coach again.

966
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: I think he's got something to offer. But you gotta

967
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 1: take his ego with it too. It appears well. I mean, hey, listen,

968
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: he's out with it, no question. But that's part of

969
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: the job description. What what is yeah? You should I mean,

970
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: ego is part of the deal I have. It's rare

971
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: that I sit down with a head coach and the

972
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: NFL team that doesn't have a boatload of confidence. Confidence

973
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: is one thing. Talking about what went on over the

974
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: last eighteen years is something else. Totally. I guess he

975
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: cares any job off for jail. Great, why did you

976
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 1: bring that up? Anyone get it? We're gonna talk about

1033
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: to a trip to Buffalo, regardless of what the weather

1034
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: might be here. You had rough rather last week in Chicago,

1035
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: didn't you. Yeah, you know, it's not for an offensive lineman.

1036
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: You know, they look for that cool weather and a

1037
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: little bit of a breeze, because two weeks ago they

1038
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: went down to Miami and it was it was so

1039
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: hot for this part of the year for the for

1040
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: the Bear that I think it affected them. So these

1041
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: fifty forty five degree weather games, I think they kind

1042
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: of look forward to Tom You you are up in

1043
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: the booth, right, you'll be out of the weather. Yeah, yeah,

1044
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: that talk to me. Hey, listen, this is a team

1045
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: in Chicago that's kind of got from the outside looking

1046
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: in refurbished. When they traded for Khalil Magnet, I gave

1047
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: up a lot of draft you know, two high draft picks,

1048
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: two number ones for him. But man, oh man, talk

1049
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: about you know, you guys don't have any buyer's remorse,

1050
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 1: do you know? Now? You know, I think the Bears

1051
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: got a little bit surprised by it two years ago

1052
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: and they moved up in the draft to go out

1053
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: and got Mitchell Trubisky in no one ever read the

1054
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: poker face of Ryan the Ryan Pace the general manager.

1055
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: Then so then speed it up until this year, last

1056
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: preseason game. Everybody concludes the preseason thinking that it's going

1057
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: to be Leonard Floyd and Aaron Lynch on the outside.

1058
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: They wake up Saturday morning and then the Khalil macdeal.

1059
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't fall in their lap. But Ryan Pace does

1060
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: a job as a general manager and manipulate it and

1061
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: got it done here. So he did another great job

1062
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: of not showing his poker face because no one really

1063
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: thought that that was a possibility. But it sure sped

1064
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: up the thinking of the Bears fans, the organization of

1065
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: how quickly this team should be successful, not necessarily this year,

1066
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: but next year down the road. It should be a

1067
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: good football team. You did, Mitch Drubisky did put you know,

1068
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: the death grip on the quarterback spot for you for

1069
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: the Bears last year. Talk about you know, tell me

1070
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: how good is he at this point in his career.

1071
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: He's still very young. Yeah, you know, what's kind of

1072
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 1: unfair to even give him an evaluation right now because

1073
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: last year, unfortunately, he was in an unimaginative offensive system

1074
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: for a young guy. They got nothing out of the

1075
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: tight end, they got nothing out of the wide receiver.

1076
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: They were kind of a one and a half man

1077
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: show between Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen. So then you

1078
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: have to forget everything you memorized last year, come in

1079
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: here with a Matt and Maggie let offense that the

1080
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: terminology is just a commitment alone to learn the terminology

1081
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: is pretty extensive. And then you get a bunch of

1082
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: new pieces in place. You're bringing Trey Burton, you're bringing

1083
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson, you still got Tarik coh and you draft

1084
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller, you got Jordan Howard. So there's a lot

1085
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: of other pieces that you need to fit in while

1086
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: you're trying to learn this new offense. And so I

1087
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: hope to see the best out of Mitchell Trubisky next year.

1088
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: This year, I still expect ups and downs out of

1089
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: him any time. Do they want Trubisky to run as

1090
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: much as he runs or is he just making that

1091
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: up as he goes along. They always want to have

1092
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: the concerned in the mind of the opponent. You know,

1093
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, when they faced eight

1094
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: man fronts and they tried to run to a direct

1095
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: point of attack. It really limited the success of the

1096
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: run game. If you go back and you look at

1097
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: the Jets game last week, and it's different than the

1098
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: defense that Buffalo shows that Mitchell Chubiski is either able

1099
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: to hold backside rushers or take advantage of their overpursued

1100
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: and run the ball. So just keeping that in the

1101
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: mind of Bears opponents as fresh because you know, in

1102
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: the history of the organization, it's the first time I

1103
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 1: ever went to training camp and I didn't see the

1104
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks repeatedly do three five and step three five and

1105
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: seven step drops. Everything here was shotgun RPO a little

1106
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: bit underneath the center. So it's really changed the whole

1107
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: face of the offense. A lot of us here in

1108
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: Buffalo look at the Bears and where they're at and

1109
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: the additions they made on offense this year Taylor, Gabriel, Allen, Robinson, Tree, Burton, etc.

1110
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: And think that's the template for where the billship, what

1111
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: the bill should be doing next year. Those additions, those

1112
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: free agent additions they've made, paid dividends. They're not, you know,

1113
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: great Pro Bowl numbers yet, but they're all three contributing

1114
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: to a pretty good offense right now, aren't they? Tom Yeah,

1115
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, they've all been great character guys inside the

1116
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: locker room, and I think that's an element that you

1117
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 1: need when you bring in these free agents. And it's

1118
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: been led by the attitude of a guy like Trey Burton,

1119
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: under used in Philly but has bigger expectations here. Alan

1120
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: Robinson he's been he has been a great guy out

1121
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: in the practice field, in the game field, but now

1122
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: he's had this little hiccup with the groin injury, so

1123
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't been in there. But you know, like I said,

1124
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller is a guy they draft in the second

1125
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: round out of Memphis who means a lot to this

1126
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,439
Speaker 1: football team. Taylor Gabriel in the rest of the crew,

1127
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: they still have a great group of weapons that they

1128
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: have a chance to develop. I do think Buffalo's defense

1129
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: is a little bit better than what the Bear started

1130
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: with defensively before they got Khalil Mack. Yeah. I was

1131
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: going to ask you about Khalil Mack his health. You know,

1132
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: there's an article coming out about you know, this might

1133
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: be another week where they get Khalil Mack completely healthy

1134
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: because obviously the Bears, I mean the Bears aren't being

1135
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: kept awake at night by the quality of the Bills

1136
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: offense coming up this weekend. They've got to think that

1137
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: even without Khalil and getting him healthy another week, they

1138
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: can still play pretty good defense against a struggling Bills offense.

1139
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah they can, but you know they need Leonard Floyd,

1140
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: a top ten pick, to play better. They need to

1141
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: get more out of Aaron Lynch on the outside. They

1142
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: got to have more from other young guys on the

1143
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: inside of the defensive line to contribute. They do have

1144
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: a Keem Hicks who can be a monster, but they

1145
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: need Eddie Goldman, Jonathan Bullard Nichols, a lot of these

1146
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: young guys to come in and help this defense. And

1147
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, then they don't have a great deal of

1148
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: depth behind Aaron Lynch and Leonard Floyd. When you talk

1149
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: about Isaiah Irvin and Kylie Fitz just two guys that

1150
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to play very much. So yeah,

1151
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you can't get caught up in

1152
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: what Buffalo doesn't have because they still have a couple

1153
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: of good running backs and they got unbelievable size with

1154
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: Benjamin and Zay Jones is doing well to me, when

1155
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: you come into the Buffalo with an inexperienced offense and

1156
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: a new starter on the offensive line. I have more

1157
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: fear of what Buffalo presents on defense than what they

1158
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: don't present on offense. Hey, Tom, how has the first

1159
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: half season has so been for Roquan Smith, the first

1160
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: round draft pick linebacker from Georgia. What have you seen

1161
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: from him so far? You know, it's been awesome. Unfortunately,

1162
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: when he signed here in a contract dispute, he tweaked

1163
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: his hamstring a little bit right after that. But now

1164
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: he's starting to take over a little bit for Danny Trevathan.

1165
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: He's instrumental in every defense they run. If they go

1166
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: to a four man front with one middle linebacker, they

1167
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: keep in Roquan. His speed is disciplined, he's not over anxious,

1168
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't overrun plays. You know, Roquan Smith has a

1169
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: really huge upside in this defense, and especially if he

1170
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,439
Speaker 1: can stick with Vic Fangio for a couple of years.

1171
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: One of the things, you're halfway through this season and

1172
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: it's the first season with new head coach man Nage,

1173
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: what's been his reception in Chicago? How has he handled

1174
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 1: the pressures and all the added things that go along

1175
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: with being a head coach for the first time. You know,

1176
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: he's been awesome. The first thing he did is being

1177
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,760
Speaker 1: able to be mature enough to keep a defensive coordinator

1178
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: like Vic Fangio, because he has been interviewed for the

1179
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: head job. He's got a kind of a brash personality,

1180
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: kind of Belichick in and so for a young guy

1181
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: to be able to keep a defensive coordinator around like that,

1182
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: I think it tells you a lot about Matt's confidence.

1183
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 1: But every time he goes to the podium, he knows

1184
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: exactly what he's saying. He says the right thing. He's

1185
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: answering questions professionally to the members of the media, and

1186
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: he means what he says. He talks about the continuous

1187
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: development of the offense, not what they did last week

1188
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: or what they're looking at from two weeks from now.

1189
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: It's always been about the next game, being better, playing

1190
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: better football. Continue to develop these guys, and it's a

1191
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: really important message because they haven't been able to dwell

1192
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: on any the good things they did six touchdown passes

1193
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: against Tappa, or going in and getting beat on mental

1194
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: mistakes in Miami and in New England. Tom coach Enegy

1195
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: like the Bills Sean McDermott, a protege of Andy Reid,

1196
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: although Coachnegie and the offenses side of the ball now,

1197
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: I know they don't have the weapons that Kansas City has,

1198
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: But are the concepts similar to what you see from

1199
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: the Bears offense and what the Chiefs and Andy Reid

1200
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: are running these days? Yeah, they are, you know from

1201
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: everything from the shovel pass they run all the time

1202
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,919
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. In Kansas City. When I was with the Bears,

1203
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: we ran the shovel pass maybe once or twice a

1204
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: year ipe the team was vulnerable. These guys will run

1205
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: a three or four times a game. You know that

1206
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: Tarik Hill Tarik Cohen matchup is hard to ignore. And

1207
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: how much they want to use Trey Burton, how much

1208
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: they use Kelsey is in the Kansas City is the

1209
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: same also. But Mark Helfrich, the offensive coordinator from Oregon,

1210
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: and Dave are going the quarterback coach. It's kind of

1211
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: they're allowed to enter there, not two cents. I don't

1212
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: want to minimize it, but with their experiences in the

1213
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: offenses they faced, it is a Matt and Aggy offense,

1214
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: but input from the other coaches is important to him,

1215
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: so I think it's it's important to keep the staff

1216
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: fresh and everybody being involved. Hey time, I want to

1217
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: ask you a little bit about your playing background, mostly

1218
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: because I'm currently reading a really good book about the

1219
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 1: United States Football League USFL. I think it's called Football

1220
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: for a Buck. You played for the Arizona Ragnar's Chicago

1221
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: Blitz in the early days of the USFL. Have you

1222
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: seen that book or heard about that book? I have

1223
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: heard about it. I've talked to a couple of people

1224
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: about it. I do I do want to read it.

1225
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: That's the book by Jeff Perlman. Yes, and I do

1226
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: want to read it because, yeah, I you know, when

1227
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: I came out of college, I came right out in

1228
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: the USFL NFL bidding wars. I met with George Allen,

1229
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Chicago Blitz, and he talked

1230
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: me into signing a guaranteed contract. And for the three

1231
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: seasons I spend the USFL, it was great experience. I

1232
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: played with great players, I got to go to the

1233
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: us FELL Championship, and so my experience of the USFL

1234
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: was really important for when I did come to the NFL.

1235
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot in the book about how crazy those

1236
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: days were. Right in Arizona was one of the craziest

1237
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: places in the league, wasn't it. When you were there, Yeah,

1238
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: it was wild. You know. We had a coach, player,

1239
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: two guys, you know, getting a fight on a charter flight.

1240
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: It was you know. But the thing about it is,

1241
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,439
Speaker 1: when George Allen was the head coach and the leader

1242
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: of the organization, it was pure professional I mean, he

1243
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: wanted to go out there and compete with NFL standards.

1244
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: The last year we had Frank Kush and there was

1245
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more relaxed of an atmosphere. But by

1246
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: that time I knew that I was going to the

1247
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: Bears already, and you were with the Blitz, and they

1248
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,439
Speaker 1: traded the whole team to Arizona, right with George Allen.

1249
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: Everybody right, Yeah, the whole ownership changed. Doctor Joseph switched

1250
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: with doctor Ted Dietrich. And yeah, from one minute we

1251
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: were playing in Chicago and loading up our car and

1252
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: driving out the tempe Arizona. And one more question about

1253
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: your background, It just strikes me is exquisite timing. You

1254
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: go to the NFL, you go to Chicago Bears, and

1255
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: it's the eighty five Bears, one of the legendary teams

1256
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: in pro football history. That's really good timing. It had

1257
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: to be really a highlight of your career that season. Huh. Yeah.

1258
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean I was born and raised in Chicago, I

1259
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: went to high I played high school football here. I

1260
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: went to Notre Dame to stay close to the Chicago

1261
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: land area and then to become a part of that

1262
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: because I went right from a USFL game on a

1263
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: Saturday night and I drove straight through NonStop the full

1264
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: pad training camp on Monday morning of that year. So

1265
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean I had a year, I think a year

1266
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: and sixteen days straight of football when I went to

1267
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: the USFL NFL back to back and then ended up

1268
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl. Well, I can relate to

1269
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: what happened after your football career. You've worked in the

1270
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: Chicago area as a commentator for the Loop. You're worth WCBR,

1271
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: You're a WMAQ night. You've been for what maybe twenty years?

1272
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Have you been with the Bears broadcast way? Two years

1273
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: doing this? Now? Yeah, you got to book in you

1274
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: somewhere time. Don't you think I think I have to

1275
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: wait two years until after I get out of my

1276
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: contract before I have the rights to write a book. Oh,

1277
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: that'll be a good one. Then we look forward to

1278
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: that one. Hey, Tom, thanks for this. Have a safe

1279
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: trip to Buffalo and we'll say hi on Sunday. Thank you.

1280
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, guys, I appreciate it. Tom fay

1281
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Or is the long time a color analysts on the

1282
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears radio network with my buddy Jeff joni Ac.

1283
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: They're coming here to do the Bears and the Bills

1284
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The Bears don't get here very often, you

1285
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's kind of fun. We played

1286
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: him once here when I was playing. I remember it

1287
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: came back to bide them when we beat them and

1288
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: our win or actually our loss on the final day

1289
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: of the season two, the Detroit Lions put the Bears

1290
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. I think one year. Mike Ditka

1291
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: was not happy with with the Chicago with the Buffalo

1292
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Bills after that. But yeah, the Bears don't come to

1293
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Orchard Park very often. It'll be the first time in

1294
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 1: four years. Yeah, and the last time they're here, the

1295
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,959
Speaker 1: Bills beat him twenty three to twenty. Yeah. Tom Thayer

1296
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: was one of my contemporaries in the National Football League.

1297
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: He was. He was a little older than I, but

1298
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: he came into the league in the NFL about the

1299
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: same time that I did, right at the end of

1300
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: the USFL, and was on those great Bear teams in

1301
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: the mid eighties. And of course, one of the times

1302
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: the Bears were supposed to play here, the game was

1303
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: held in Toronto in two thousand and ten. So the

1304
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: actually the last time the Bills played there was Opening

1305
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: Day in two fourteen. Yeah, okay, they haven't played here

1306
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: since two thousand and two, that's my bad. Two fourteen,

1307
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: they played in Chicago. That was the Fred Jackson long run.

1308
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: They went in overtime, Bills won twenty three to twenty.

1309
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: That was an infamous stiff arm the stiff Arm game.

1310
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: And then in two thousand and ten the game is

1311
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: played in Chicago and the Bills lost that game. And

1312
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: then in two thousand and two, the last time the

1313
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Bears played here, the Bills won a thirty three twenty seven.

1314
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: They haven't played here in sixteen years. No wonder, I wonder.

1315
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: We don't know what those guys look like exactly. Thanks

1316
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: to Tom there for joining us. He joined us on

1317
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: the Subway Fresh Stake Highline Subway presented by Subway Restaurants

1318
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: proud to be locally owned and operated. That book, Steve

1319
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: and I mentioned it to you. Football for a Buck,

1320
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: The Story of the USFL. Jeff Perlman is the writer.

1321
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Tom says he's heard of it. I'm telling you, I

1322
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: look forward every night to spending one chapter in that

1323
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: book because there are some amazing stories about the USFL.

1324
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: You were coming out about that time. Did you ever

1325
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: get any interest from the USFL? Yeah, you know, it

1326
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: was interesting because one of the I've still got it.

1327
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: One of the highlights of my entire college life was

1328
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: I was getting ready for the eighty five football Draft,

1329
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: or maybe it was eighty four, is like before it

1330
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: was happening, and I was a senior. I had it.

1331
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: They didn't. I was a fifth year guy. So I

1332
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: was coming back Northwestern for another season. But I got

1333
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: this thing in the mail and I looked at it.

1334
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: Who's this And it was a tube You're like one

1335
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 1: of those poster tubes and it was and it was

1336
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 1: from the NFL, right, So I was like, Hey, I

1337
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: wonder what this is. So I opened it up and

1338
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: it had it was a poster, and it was back

1339
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: then that the league had a little bit of a

1340
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: marketing push to college football players like me who were

1341
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: fringe players or who maybe going to be in the draft.

1342
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure a ton of guys got it, and knowing

1343
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the money they had, I bet everybody got one. But

1344
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: I got this tube and it had a poster in it,

1345
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: and all it was was a blue field, big square,

1346
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: square poster was a big blue field, and in the

1347
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: middle of it was a circle, and it had the

1348
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: NFL shield on it, a poster with the NFL shield,

1349
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: and in the bottom it had written hold onto your dream,

1350
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: so that you, you know, trying to get guys to

1351
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: hold onto the NFL dream rather than go to the

1352
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: USFL and sign. It was there to this day that

1353
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: poster hangs in my house. Really, yes it does, so

1354
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: that it did. It was the first time where I

1355
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: got an ink because listen, the NFL to me was

1356
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: a light years away. I never believed for a minute

1357
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: that I would ever play it down. I really didn't.

1358
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I was. I mean, you saw me when I was

1359
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: twenty two. I mean I looked ten, right. I mean

1360
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: somebody sent a polaroid in on Twitter today of me,

1361
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: Don Bieby and Matt Darby. And that was when I

1362
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: was an established NFL player. I looked fifteen years old

1363
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: in this picture, and you know, so I thought that's

1364
01:05:58,320 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 1: the way it was. I was, you know, the NFL's

1365
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: not for me. I'm not good enough, right, So to

1366
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: get something from them was the first time when I thought, really,

1367
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, it was. It was quite a moment and

1368
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I obviously it still hangs in my house. I got

1369
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: a frame. So you never got a letter, You never

1370
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: got a phone call or any interest at off from

1371
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: United States Football League. I think there was some, but

1372
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: nothing nowhere with nothing serious. I didn't get drafted by

1373
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: them or anything like that. I never got offered a contract.

1374
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: Would you have considered it, well, of course, yeah, I

1375
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: think I would have. Even with your love of the

1376
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 1: NFL and your admiration and the poster bro Man money

1377
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: talks good you say that. I mean, I didn't think

1378
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: it was gonna make a dime from the NFL if

1379
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: the USFL, would you know? Of course? Yeah, because I

1380
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: mean look at what Tom Fayer said, you know, I mean,

1381
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: he's Chicago guy, and yeah, and they reach out to him,

1382
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: the Chicago Blitz. George Allen reaches out to him. You

1383
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: know John Butler was part of that group back then. Yeah, yeah,

1384
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean Bill, Polly and Marz. That's where Marv and

1385
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: Bill Polian first met. Yep. They brought Marv down from

1386
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: the Montreal Alouettes. I just told Build the other day Monday,

1387
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: when I saw him and said, you got to read

1388
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: this book. You're in it number one because of your

1389
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: work with Chicago, and you'd love it. It was a

1390
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 1: different atmosphere back then. See, it was like the Wild West.

1391
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: Everything was different back then. I mean you got to

1392
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: think about it. No cell phones, yeah, I mean you

1393
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: have cell phones, let alone social media. Yeah, it was.

1394
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: It was a very very different world. The instance there

1395
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 1: talks about the Arizona Wranglers coach and a player getting

1396
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: into a fistfight on a plane. That happened. That really happened.

1397
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Now amazing. There are stories and I believe it. Maybe

1398
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: it was San Antonio Gunslingers, another USFL team. They're talking

1399
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: about how they didn't have any money and there were

1400
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: a couple of trips where they flew the entire team

1401
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: to Florida to play Tampa Bay or or Orlando, but

1402
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: they didn't have enough money to pay for a return

1403
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: charter flight home, so they had to stay in Florida

1404
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: for like an extra night or two until someone delivered

1405
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,439
Speaker 1: a bag of cash to the charter company to bring

1406
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: the players home. It's crazy, it's great listen that. Yeah right,

1407
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean I it was a different world. Think about

1408
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: this we had when you'd get on even at the

1409
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: NFL level, every team was the same. You'd get on

1410
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: the flight at the end of the day after a game,

1411
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: after an NFL game, and there was a club employee

1412
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: handing you a bag that was half a plastic bag

1413
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 1: with half filled with ice, with three beers in it. Yeah,

1414
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: whether you drink or heyn't care. Here, here's yours, here's

1415
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: your they're giving you beer. Yeah right. So guys, you know,

1416
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: they're you know, and you're playing like I'm playing in Houston,

1417
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: We're playing in New Orleans, we're playing in KNPA. See

1418
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: we're playing. It's it's like an hour flight. So these

1419
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 1: guys are down in these beers and of course me

1420
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: I didn't get to keep mind because one of the

1421
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: offensive linemen say thanks for the beer, rock, so they

1422
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: just swipe my beers. All these guys are getting off

1423
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: after being provided with alcohol by the club and driving home.

1424
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: It was just a different world. And that's that stopped

1425
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: when one weekend there were three different alcohol related incidents

1426
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: by players and coaches around the league. The next weekend,

1427
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: that was gone forever and it's been gone ever since. Yeah,

1428
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: rightfully so. But that's the kind of wild West it

1429
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: was everywhere. I gotta read this book. I'm beer was

1430
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: the least of the issues. I'm way, I'm way all right,

1431
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break. We're coming back with more

1432
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: and one Bills Live from One Bill's Drive and this

1433
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. Lolcome back one goes live from

1434
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive, John Murphy, Steve Tasker in our one

1435
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo studio. We've had one guest on the show so

1436
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: far today and it looks like that's all it's gonna be.

1437
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 1: One is the theme today, Steve One, Right, we are

1438
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: one is the loneliest number. Hey. Our Twitter poll today

1439
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: is I think interesting and it's got some kind of

1440
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: a nice split of responses. What's the best game plan

1441
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: for the Bills offense against the Chicago Bears? What can

1442
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: they do? I mean right, We've talked about it the

1443
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,680
Speaker 1: other day where's the hope for the Buffalo offense got

1444
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: about nine hundred votes in what's the best game planning

1445
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: for the Bill's offense against the Bears? On Twitter? Forty

1446
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: one percent of you say simple, don't turn the ball over. Yeah.

1447
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Twenty nine percent of you say use McCoy in the

1448
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: pass game. I'm on board with that too. Nineteen percent

1449
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 1: say incorporate Terrell prior the new wide receiver. Maybe you

1450
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: want him use this something other than wide receiver. Eleven

1451
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 1: percent have something else in mind. Give us a call.

1452
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: We got lines open to talk about it. Eight oh

1453
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

1454
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Or you can do it

1455
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter. You can send in your tweets and we'll

1456
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: read him on the tweet sheet. Let's do a little

1457
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: bit of that. Greg Miller tweets and Peterman deserves a

1458
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 1: real chance, and that means not getting yanked after a

1459
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 1: few starts. I think it's terrible how media and the

1460
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: team have just been slammed and been slamming him. He's

1461
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: not a franchise quarterback, but I think he can play

1462
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL with more experience. Is one line here.

1463
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: I think it's terrible how media and the team have

1464
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: just been slamming him by pulling him. I mean, when

1465
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: a guy throws interceptions at that rate, you can't keep

1466
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 1: going with him, right, I don't think i's by slamming

1467
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: the been slamming him after after the fact. And of

1468
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,600
Speaker 1: course he's he's you know, he's perfect target for the

1469
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:09,560
Speaker 1: snark that you have on social media. But listen, he

1470
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 1: has not learned. He has not earned any amount of

1471
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,879
Speaker 1: praise for his play yet. He threw a nice touchdown

1472
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: pass against Houston, but he followed it up with, you know,

1473
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: the infamous pick six that he has a penchant for throwing.

1474
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: And until he stops throwing interceptions, you're not gonna you're

1475
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 1: not gonna get any further into Nate Peterman's career than

1476
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 1: you've gotten so far. I mean, you know, you just

1477
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: can't do that. And you know, one per game okay

1478
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:38,599
Speaker 1: maybe if you're playing okay, other than that, but you've

1479
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: got to go through a stretch of attempts and get him,

1480
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: get the team offense through some stretches of poor play

1481
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: without throwing interceptions. You gotta be a guy who can

1482
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: throw it to the right guy certainly some of them.

1483
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 1: We've noted a lot of these interceptions were not his fault,

1484
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,680
Speaker 1: but by the same token, you got to know too,

1485
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta throw that thing into the third row

1486
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: before you throw it into a crowd. So you can

1487
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: say people are slamming Nate Peter or listen, that's what

1488
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 1: you signed up for when he signed it. Played quarterback

1489
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: and you start throwing picks. That's just all there is

1490
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: to it. So, um, yeah, he's gonna He's gonna accept

1491
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: the criticism he gets with the opportunities that he's rewarded with.

1492
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: One more from the tweet sheet. When we asked the

1493
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,679
Speaker 1: question the best game plan for the Bills, Marty Rogers,

1494
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: we have to make plays. He was claying the wide

1495
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: receivers over the middle of the field. They played zone

1496
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: so often, or they play zone so find the holes

1497
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: and create easy opportunities for completions. It would be great

1498
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: to see something go easily for the Buffalo offensive. Well,

1499
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: you haven't seen anything like it. Anything, Nothing comes easy

1500
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: for this offense. No, it's been struggle from start to finish.

1501
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 1: It starts up front, no question about it. I think

1502
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 1: the offensive line at the beginning of the year was bad.

1503
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 1: They were playing bad, and they were having trouble sorting

1504
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 1: out their protection schemes. They've gotten a little steadier, but

1505
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: they're still once in a while getting beat physically. They're

1506
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: still give up some plays that they cannot afford to do.

1507
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: They got their quarterback can cussed. They got their quarterback

1508
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: out with an elbow. Now they're on their third starting

1509
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 1: quarterback of the year. They can't do that. The offensive

1510
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: line holds a little bit of the blame because LaShaun

1511
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: McCoy is dancing around because the holes aren't what they

1512
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,680
Speaker 1: should be. Chris Ivory is being a little more successful

1513
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: because he doesn't care if there's a hole there not.

1514
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: He's just gonna drop his shoulder and go. And I've

1515
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: had somebody on Twitter already say, hey, listen, the key

1516
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: to the whole thing is giving Ivory more than fifteen touches. Okay,

1517
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm willing to try that. But no question, this offensive,

1518
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: this offensive coaching staff and head coach all the way

1519
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: down through, they're doing everything they can possibly do to

1520
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 1: think of anything they can to get a spark, to

1521
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,600
Speaker 1: get some consistency. They start good grief. They played a

1522
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: dozen snaps of wildcat to start the game last week.

1523
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: They're trying everything, believe me, So all the suggestions you're

1524
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: throwing at us, you know you're two weeks behind a

1525
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: coaching staff that has been jumping through hoops for the

1526
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: entire season. Take a few phone calls here, Rick on

1527
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: the line, Hello, Rick, Rick and Archer Park. Go ahead. Yeah,

1528
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: I think this time had we done something with a

1529
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 1: coach and the general manager. They took a team at

1530
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: won nine games last year, tour it apart and kept Peterson.

1531
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: I think it's time as a general manager in Peterson

1532
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: and our coach taken by the hand and walk out

1533
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: the back of Okay, thank Rick, I think you're nuts.

1534
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: I think you've ap Peter Mandy. Well, yeah, you could

1535
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: say the guy's name right for one thing one and

1536
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 1: you say they Oh my gosh, I don't even Okay,

1537
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: so you're you're they won nine They're taking a team

1538
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: that won nine games last year, and they they built

1539
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: the team that won nine games and got them to

1540
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: overachieve with a roster that was less talented the year

1541
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,640
Speaker 1: before that went what seven and nine? Um, Rick, I

1542
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: don't even know where to begin. That's that is so

1543
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: off the wall. I'm gonna blame murder for your call

1544
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: for taking that up here is blame me for this one, dude,

1545
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: Jack and Rochester. I Jack, the bar set pretty low

1546
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: for you now, buddy. You know what I would like

1547
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: to do is see the Bills put some pump and

1548
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: gold place into the offense. Yeah. Double moves. Yeah, kinds

1549
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: of backs being over eager to try to jump some

1550
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: of these routes. Yeah. I mean part of the problem

1551
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: is so they can't pass protect right, I mean, how

1552
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: long you want the quarterback standing back there? You might

1553
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: not have time to get it off. But Jack, I

1554
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 1: agree with you. In fact, if you if you could

1555
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: get a play or two, and let's face it, listen, Jack,

1556
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 1: I like it. I like where your your head's at.

1557
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: But you've got to pick your spot for that. And

1558
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: if you can pick your spot for that, you your gold.

1559
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: Because really, you're right. If Nate Peterman dropped back and

1560
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: threw one of the was gonna throw one of those

1561
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: week outs when this defense has been kind of having

1562
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: its way with the Bills offense, and those dbs know

1563
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: that he's gonna try and get rid of the ball

1564
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: really quick, so they're jumping up on those routes. If

1565
01:15:55,560 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: Peterman could just pump fake once have Zay Jones, Kelvin, Benjamin,

1566
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: Terrell prior Ray Ray mccla, I don't care somebody give

1567
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: a stutter step, a little hook and go and hit

1568
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: him down the sidelines. You score a touchdown like that,

1569
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, and that last in some of these games.

1570
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,679
Speaker 1: That's all you would have needed. That's all you wouldn't

1571
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 1: if that happens at the right time, instead of throwing

1572
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: the pick going the other way, you get one going

1573
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: your way, and that whole and a whole game changes

1574
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,639
Speaker 1: because of it. So I agree with you. A big

1575
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: play like that would really help. And certainly the Bills

1576
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: seem and defenses seem ripe for that when they're jumping

1577
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 1: routes that are you know, five yards down the field.

1578
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 1: Question before you never played quarterback at the NFL level seat,

1579
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 1: But when you watch that one pick six against the

1580
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: Texans and Nathan just got locked on Calvin Benjamin his

1581
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 1: target there, I stared it down. The defensive back had

1582
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 1: plenty of time to read it and react, So you

1583
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: can work on that, right, I mean, he can move

1584
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: his eyes and move people around by moving his eyes.

1585
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: I would have hope that that's something he's done. Like that,

1586
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,879
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph Pick, he was just locked on Calvin Benjamin.

1587
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: You would hope that Nathan is getting better at that,

1588
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 1: at least trying to move people around with his eyes

1589
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:08,560
Speaker 1: and not just getting locked on a receiver like that.

1590
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: That's what young quarterbacks do. Yeah, that's what they do.

1591
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 1: That's what Josh Allen does. That's what Mitch Trubiski does.

1592
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,719
Speaker 1: You know, that's what they all do. They get locked

1593
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: in on guys and they you know, they got to

1594
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 1: learn to come to the guys, see it and then

1595
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: throw it. You know, look the other way, see it

1596
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: and then throw it. But they you know, young quarterbacks

1597
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: tend to do that in the NFL because that's what

1598
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 1: they're trained to do in college. Those guys in college

1599
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 1: don't have you don't have to look off a safety.

1600
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't play off the page in the secondary.

1601
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:44,679
Speaker 1: In college. You know, they don't. They don't jump routes,

1602
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,560
Speaker 1: they don't do the things that NFL players do. So

1603
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks are gonna do that. But you're right, Murph,

1604
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: it seems like an easy fix. But when you're a

1605
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: young quarterback and you think and you finally get to

1606
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: a point where you think, oh, I see that pressure

1607
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 1: they're bringing. I get it. They're they're blitz me from

1608
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: that side. I've got to read and I'm way ahead

1609
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: of it. And look there, it is right there. And

1610
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: if I look over there and I see that read

1611
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: and it's gone, it's too late. Yeah, it's too late. Um,

1612
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 1: let us know what you think. What best game plan

1613
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: for the Bills offense against the Bears. Looks like they're

1614
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: gonna have to go with Nathan Peterman as the starting

1615
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,679
Speaker 1: quarterback again. In the locker room yesterday, several of Nathan

1616
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: Peterman's teammates talked about him. They seem to have confidence

1617
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: in him. Let's listen to what Zay Jones had to

1618
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: say in fact about Nathan Peterman getting the start this week.

1619
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: It's very important. It's the rally around him. If his

1620
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,600
Speaker 1: numbers called supporting him to the best we can to

1621
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: get his confidence going, um, and just make plays and

1622
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: be playmakers for him. So a skill skill position, the

1623
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: running back from receiver group. Let's go out and make

1624
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 1: his job easier. See it, maybe little reads how much

1625
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,560
Speaker 1: we talk about the fact that they's had two or

1626
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 1: three games that haven't gone his way, and then the

1627
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: idea that well, he can't ever come back from that.

1628
01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you actually this question all time about his

1629
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: Are we making too much out of that? I'm not

1630
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: the type of person that say you can't do something.

1631
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: I hate when people say I can't do something, So

1632
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that I can't come back from us.

1633
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a great opportunity for him. Going

1634
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: in here against a good defense, improves what he can do,

1635
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,719
Speaker 1: hopefully get this thing on track, game pushing the right direction.

1636
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 1: That's a legitimate question. I think is there too much

1637
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: being made? Look, it's been his trademark, right Nathan Peterman

1638
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 1: through at least two of his three NFL starts. You

1639
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: would hope that he's over it now. But the point

1640
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 1: I was trying to make earlier in the show an

1641
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 1: Hour sol Go Steve was that we got a very

1642
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: small sample of Nathan Peterman plays here. He's had three

1643
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: NFL starts. So for people to say, well, I know

1644
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: this guy, I know what he does. He throws interceptions,

1645
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: He's done it in two of his three starts. I

1646
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: think that's too much. Yes, to answer his question, that's

1647
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: question there sure, too much as being made to that.

1648
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: I think let's see, let's see who he is. I

1649
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:51,639
Speaker 1: don't think we know yet who he is. Well, let's

1650
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: give him a chance to make take another baby step

1651
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: in his development. You know. Maybe that baby step is

1652
01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,640
Speaker 1: making better throws. Maybe still, over the course of four

1653
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: cours does throw three interceptions, but all of a sudden

1654
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: he also throws for two hundred and seventy five yards

1655
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: and is you know, seventeen for twenty eight and he

1656
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: kind of shows some other signs of life. Certainly, you

1657
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: don't want to see the bad plays in there, but

1658
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: if there is enough good plays or better plays mixed in,

1659
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: that would be a sign of progress, you would hope.

1660
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 1: And you and I have talked. I've been talking about

1661
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 1: this all day. The one step I'd love to see

1662
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: him make is just be more careful with the football.

1663
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:27,640
Speaker 1: If he can do that, even if he is a

1664
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: fifty percent completion guy, which he kind of is. He

1665
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: was eighty percent in the preseason. But if he can

1666
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: just bet fifty percent and did not have the big mistake,

1667
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's a big step. I don't know if

1668
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: it's too much to ask for or not, but I

1669
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,720
Speaker 1: think that's the one thing I think most Bills fans

1670
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: would agree. That's the one pension that you want to

1671
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: see him get rid of. Yeah, absolutely all. We're asking

1672
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,640
Speaker 1: you today what should the Buffalo offensive game plan be

1673
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: against the Bears on Sunday? Tim and north Tonawanda has

1674
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: an idea on that. Go ahead, Tim, you're on the

1675
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: air with us. Yeah. I was wondering why they don't

1676
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: just try to move Shady out in the white out

1677
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: and give some help out there and leave ivory in

1678
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: their ability to pinch the line. And I don't think

1679
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 1: any linebacker is going to stay with Shady when he

1680
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: wants to get open. Well, they probably wouldn't. And Tim

1681
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 1: and I get your point. And you can do that

1682
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: a little bit, no question about it. The problem is,

1683
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: as soon as you start doing it all the time,

1684
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: they'll just match a linebacker, I mean a corner or

1685
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: a safety up on Shady and cover him one on one. Yeah,

1686
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 1: but if you're sending a guy deep, aren't you going

1687
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 1: to take that away from him? What do you mean? No,

1688
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: they'll just know, they'll take a linebacker off the field

1689
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,560
Speaker 1: and replace him with an extra dB. I see what

1690
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,560
Speaker 1: you're saying. And so they'll you can get away with it,

1691
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: but you've got to do it on a time when

1692
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 1: they match up the right personnel. I mean, if you're

1693
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna get him lined up, and I think what you do,

1694
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: and you're right, Tim, there's ways to do it. If

1695
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 1: you start running the ball with two backs with Shady

1696
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: and Ivory on the field at the same time, and

1697
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,560
Speaker 1: they come in there with you know, they come in

1698
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: there with their base people or there, you know, or

1699
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: heavy people even because of two backs, and then you

1700
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,879
Speaker 1: split Shady out. Then you've got him on a linebacker

1701
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: now there, or they've got a corner away out outside

1702
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:04,639
Speaker 1: on Shady, and then the guy inside Shady, whether it's

1703
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,719
Speaker 1: Zay Jones or Ray Ray McLoud or whoever, is matched

1704
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: up with a linebacker, and that's advantageous either way. You go.

1705
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, but if you start doing that too much,

1706
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: then they'll just take a linebacker off and throw a

1707
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: safety on there or extra cornerback on there, and start

1708
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 1: matching up with Shady in the backfield with a corner

1709
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 1: or a safety, and then you know, you got a

1710
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: two backfield, and then you got to take your chances

1711
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:29,599
Speaker 1: running the football against him. But you got to force

1712
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: the defense into making a decision either they're gonna match

1713
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 1: up with Shady one on one and even if they don't,

1714
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: even if they even if they if they don't match

1715
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: up with a dB, if they if you're gonna split

1716
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: Shady out and the defense is gonna counter that with

1717
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: personnel moves that will cover him in pass in the

1718
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: past game, well then you get into the problem of

1719
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 1: they may zone it off. They may not be in

1720
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: a man demand match up with Shady. Shady may be

1721
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 1: out there running through space and running through the zone

1722
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: and hooking up and all that, and they'll just cover

1723
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 1: him with everybody, So you don't get the man to

1724
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 1: man matchup you're looking for unless the defense plays man

1725
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 1: demand coverage, and there's always a chance that they won't.

1726
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 1: They'll just play zone, and you can bet that they'll

1727
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, they'll be playing pretty good zone. I mean,

1728
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: they'll they'll know what they're doing, and if Shady doesn't

1729
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: get that many reps or you know, playing against zone

1730
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, they may win one or two

1731
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 1: of those matchups and then you're back to square one.

1732
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 1: So you're right, I agree with you, Tim, They should

1733
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: use Shady as much as they can and particularly get

1734
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 1: him in some space with the ball in his hands.

1735
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: But if there was a if there was a magic

1736
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: bullet to do, every NFL team would play that. So

1737
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 1: it's good for a play here and there, but it's

1738
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 1: not going to win you a game. It may win

1739
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: you a play here or there. Thanks very much for

1740
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: a call. We'll take a call here from Greg and Buffalo. Hello. Great,

1741
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with us. Okay, great.

1742
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: I want to tell you guys, Thma Sammers was on

1743
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,640
Speaker 1: a regular share how k I about the keys to

1744
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: the city. So I took it for myself because he's

1745
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: the city of good neighbors to go for the meal,

1746
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: because he was at one of the TREA the training

1747
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 1: of this festerday and I told him that I didn't

1748
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 1: think he was saying that Thurman didn't have the He

1749
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: was trying to remember. He said that one personal and

1750
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,600
Speaker 1: make the work outside. I can't understand him, can you?

1751
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 1: I think that as he's talking about the key to

1752
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: the city, right always says Thurman came on and said

1753
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: that Terrell Owens got the key to the city, and

1754
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: the caller Greg, if I'm if I understand you right, Greg?

1755
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 1: You went to a trick or treat thing, and that

1756
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: you talked to the mayor, and the mayor said he

1757
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:36,639
Speaker 1: would give Thurman a key to the city if Thurman

1758
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 1: asked him, because I thought that I thought that I

1759
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: was making the fun of it at first, I'm like,

1760
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: no thumb city by the way anyway, But I also

1761
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: the say that I would took a train. Listen where

1762
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 1: Chicago beer drinking, and I took my fader son, and

1763
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: one of God said that the only way that he

1764
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: would give myself training is I took that day off

1765
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: the burg. So I took it off the my son

1766
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: back for good. I hope you did you burn it,

1767
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's good here than you cannot ask for

1768
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: a key to the city. I know that's a little bit.

1769
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: Yeah you can ask. Might have asked, oh yeah, I

1770
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: didn't like about it. No, he didn't. I don't know

1771
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: that that would cross your radar coming in as a

1772
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna need this amount of money, right

01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:19,759
Speaker 1: picking up Chad Kelly, whether it be for on waivers

1789

Speaker 1: or a waivers Very well, well, Mark, I'll tell you,

1791
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: you can imagine how many how many comments we've gotten

1792
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 1: about that, and how many calls we've gotten about that

1793
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: about Chad Kelly and mur Murph and I have kind

1794
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: of the same mind that you know, Chad as much

1795
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: as I like him and much as I think he

1796
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: is a quarterback, and I could I could go into

1797
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: a lot of things about what I thought of him

1798
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 1: in Denver. I said yesterday, I thought that he was

1799
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 1: kind of to had it together in Denver because basically

1800
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 1: because no news was good news. It seems like, you know,

1801
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: the only stuff we got out of there was how

1802
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: well he was playing in the preseason and how many

1803
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: reps he was getting because they hadn't signed a quarterback.

1804
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 1: And I know this Chad has some has some NFL

1805
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: arm talent, but he's got some other issues. And I

1806
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:07,720
Speaker 1: think Murph and I both know who are friends with

1807
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: the family, I want to see him get it together

1808
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: off the field before he comes back to the NFL.

1809
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: That's what I think is best for him. And I'm

1810
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: not his dad, I'm not a member of his family,

1811
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: but that's just me talking. I would like him to

1812
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: see him get it together and then prove to an

1813
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,200
Speaker 1: NFL GM and head coach that he's got it together

1814
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: and then be given another opportunity. And I think it's

1815
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 1: too way too early to think about that for now. Plus, listen,

1816
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: the Bills are on their third starting quarterback of the year.

1817
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: They got two guys that are dinged up because they're

1818
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 1: getting whacked around in the pocket. I don't think Chad

1819
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Kelly is the answer to those problems. That's that, you know.

1820
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: I think it's that simple. I like him. I approve

1821
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: this message. Yes right, I did. I agree with and

1822
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 1: go out and vote. I've approve of everything you just said.

1823
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 1: He's got to fix himself first and then let's see

1824
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: and he hope he does the guy. Yeah he's gonna

1825
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: be okay. Call here from Utah from jan in Utah, Jan, Hey, guys,

1826
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 1: uh merv Steve. I really appreciate what you guys do

1827
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 1: every day. Oh thank you. I just wanted to make

1828
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,879
Speaker 1: a point and say, I hope they let Nathan Peterman

1829
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 1: play like a real game. And what I mean by

1830
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:14,560
Speaker 1: that is, you know, let him do it what you

1831
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: did in preseason. Spread the ball around, through it on

1832
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Just don't hamstring him with

1833
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,120
Speaker 1: like super conservative play calling or you know, run run

1834
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 1: and then it's third and long. Yeah. I get it.

1835
01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it, Jay, And that's and

1836
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: you're right, but some of that falls on Nate, no

1837
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:33,719
Speaker 1: question about it. He's got he's got to let it flow,

1838
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he's got to let it rip,

1839
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: and he's got to play with some confidence and some poise,

1840
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: and I think one of the things. And I don't know,

1841
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 1: maybe Jane, if you're still there, I see when I

1842
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 1: see Nate Peterman playing the regular season, it's a different

1843
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: guy than I saw in the preseason. He seems nervous,

1844
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: he seems to he seems to want to get rid

1845
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 1: of the football a little too quickly at times. I

1846
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 1: know we we praised him for the ball coming out

1847
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 1: on time during the preseason, that kind of thing, But

1848
01:28:57,080 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: I think sometimes he, you know, he just tries to

1849
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,680
Speaker 1: make a little bit too much happen, or maybe he

1850
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 1: just seems like he's a little bit jittery. I don't

1851
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: know what you think. Yeah, I mean, he definitely is

1852
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 1: a different guy in the regular season. We've seen that

1853
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: a couple of times. But I just think if you

1854
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,839
Speaker 1: take the approach of, like, he's our guy, he's capable,

1855
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: he's an NFL quarterback, and we've seen what you can do,

1856
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 1: and then just take that approach of let's let's see

1857
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 1: what he can do this time. You know, right, what

1858
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: kind of what would you give him as as a

1859
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 1: like an extra tool in his toolbox. If you're an

1860
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 1: offensive coaching staff, what would you give him that would

1861
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: help him be more successful. What would your what's your

1862
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:39,679
Speaker 1: like strategy? Yeah, I mean, well, for one, I wouldn't

1863
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 1: call any short out routs. Yeah, I mean that seems

1864
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: to be a consensus. I get it. I mean, well, yeah,

1865
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 1: but sometimes you know, you got to throw the ball

1866
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 1: out there. But I think one of them, and I

1867
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: think jay n one of the things we're seeing is

1868
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:53,519
Speaker 1: teams and this is possible, and the teams do this

1869
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:58,560
Speaker 1: actively in the NFL. They manipulate an offense to do

1870
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: something they can predict. And when you can get quick

1871
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: pressure on a quarterback, you know the ball will come

1872
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: out quick. If not in one series, if if you

1873
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 1: get a sack one series, or a sack or two

1874
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 1: sacks on one series, the next time that quarterback drops back,

1875
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:18,560
Speaker 1: the ball's coming out fast. That's what teams are manipulating.

1876
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 1: The Bills are into doing. When Nate Peterman's on the field,

1877
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 1: if they can find a way to protect him for

1878
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 1: more than just a half a beat, maybe they won't

1879
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:30,720
Speaker 1: be able to jump those out routes. What do you think, Yeah,

1880
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 1: I'd be up. I'd be up for that. I like

1881
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 1: the way he's thinking too, and I like, look I

1882
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 1: think this might be counterintuitive to some. I hope Nathan

1883
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 1: Peterman has an extra long leash this week, and he

1884
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 1: probably should number one because there is no backup, right,

1885
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,599
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley just got here yesterday and number two by

1886
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:50,719
Speaker 1: an extra long leash. I mean, yeah, he might make mistakes,

1887
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 1: he might throw a pick six. He's done it, he

1888
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:54,720
Speaker 1: might do it again, And I would not be in

1889
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 1: a hurry to yank him out or to disrupt the

1890
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: process because he's won, because he's all they have a

1891
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:02,720
Speaker 1: quarterback it looks like going in this game. And two,

1892
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 1: let's let him develop, Let's let him work through it all. Yeah,

1893
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:07,680
Speaker 1: all these issues we've seen, let's see if he can work.

1894
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 1: Let's face it, he's had some really bad halves of football,

1895
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, in LA, and he's had one in Baltimore

1896
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 1: this season. Maybe the question, maybe the remedy is, and

1897
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 1: you're right, Murphy, they get backed into a corner where

1898
01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 1: that's the only choice they have. They got to leave

1899
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:26,479
Speaker 1: him in. Yeah, he ain't going unless he is hurt.

1900
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 1: He can't come off the field this week. There is

1901
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 1: no plan B. Matt Barkley can't come in and just

1902
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 1: hand it off Nate Peterman can do that even in

1903
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,320
Speaker 1: his worst day of passing, if you just take the

1904
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands and give it to Lashawn

1905
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:42,719
Speaker 1: McCoy or Chris Ivory. Hey, maybe that's what the Bills

1906
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 1: need to do if it goes south for him like

1907
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 1: it has in the past. Yeah, but there is You're

1908
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: you bring up a good point. There's no plan B.

1909
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley's not going in this game. It's Nate Peterman

1910
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 1: for four quarters. And that's it. That is it, and

1911
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:05,640
Speaker 1: it is and you can and and I hear all

1912
01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 1: this too, and this is what gets me. People are

1913
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 1: throwing stuff at the radio right now and they're saying, well,

1914
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,759
Speaker 1: as Brandon Bean's falls, they did they put the offense

1915
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 1: in this way? No, no, no, I don't agree with that.

1916
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 1: They got to this point because a really because of injury,

1917
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,760
Speaker 1: not because of you know, they had you know that

1918
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 1: they went down this road with a rookie quarterback of

1919
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 1: high round draft pick. They were gonna ride with, let develop,

1920
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,120
Speaker 1: they were gonna live with him, teach him as they went,

1921
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:37,040
Speaker 1: and they got guys hurt. That's how their neck deep

1922
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:39,680
Speaker 1: in two guys on the roster and Derek Anderson and

1923
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley, let me play Devil's advocate. Go ahead. You

1924
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,600
Speaker 1: could argue they should have been prepared for injury and

1925
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 1: maybe I had a better plan. And look, I'm not

1926
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm not looking to blame. I would say if it

1927
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:53,080
Speaker 1: were me, as an overseer, perhaps I would I would

1928
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,479
Speaker 1: sit down with the decision makers here and ask the question,

1929
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 1: tell me how we got here? How do we get here?

1930
01:32:57,560 --> 01:32:58,760
Speaker 1: How do we get here that we got a guy

1931
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley coming off this who you know, is a

1932
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 1: snap away from playing in an NFL game, hasn't played

1933
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:05,680
Speaker 1: brush yet. How did we get to the point where

1934
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:08,640
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson comes off the street and starts two weeks later. Yes,

1935
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:10,880
Speaker 1: there are injuries, but all I'm saying is I would

1936
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 1: want to hear the explanation for how they set up

1937
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback room the way they did and then includes

1938
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not talking about going back to Tyrode.

1939
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:21,320
Speaker 1: I get that part that you wanted to Tyrode, that

1940
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 1: you want to get all better. I get the part

1941
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,200
Speaker 1: about drafting Josh Allen. I agree with that. I can't

1942
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: wait till he starts playing again. But since let's say,

1943
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, last June when when you knew who was

1944
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 1: coming to camp. Maybe you should have had a better

1945
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 1: plan for backups behind Josh Allen right, well did Maybe

1946
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 1: you should not have gone with Nathan Peterman as your

1947
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:41,639
Speaker 1: opening day started, despite how good he looked in preseason.

1948
01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: Maybe you should know a little bit more that he

1949
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:45,559
Speaker 1: wasn't equipped for that. That's all I'm saying. I would

1950
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 1: ask those questions. Tell me how we got here, the

1951
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:51,080
Speaker 1: reason you're got here right now, and I'll tell you this.

1952
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:54,680
Speaker 1: Name one team in the NFL. Name one that you

1953
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 1: get your top two quarterbacks nicked and they can't play.

1954
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 1: Who's gonna win? Did you have the right top two? We? Okay,

1955
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,719
Speaker 1: then we should have Tyrod Taylor here he gets a concussion.

1956
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 1: Then did you have the right top two? Maybe you

1957
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:10,800
Speaker 1: should have had something. You can ask that if any team,

1958
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 1: and it's real here, Well that's because they got the

1959
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 1: top two guys out. But maybe you didn't have the

1960
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 1: right top two. We will never know. Because they're so young.

1961
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 1: You gotta let them develop. Well, maybe they didn't have

1962
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:22,679
Speaker 1: to be young. Maybe they didn't have to be Maybe

1963
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:24,960
Speaker 1: they could have had to tried harder. And I know

1964
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me they reached out to Derek Anderson,

1965
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 1: tried harder to get Derek Anderson, or tried harder to

1966
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 1: get somebody else, or maybe stuck with a J. McCarron

1967
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 1: and said, hey, we don't care if you're not happy

1968
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 1: being number three. We're paying you. You're staying. All of

1969
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 1: these things could have been options. I'm saying, And look,

1970
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm not second guessing. I'm saying. These are questions I

1971
01:34:43,479 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: would ask. Tell me how we got here, How did

1972
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:48,599
Speaker 1: we get it? I get it. So say you start

1973
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson Week one. I'm sure we would have won

1974
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:57,760
Speaker 1: that game. We got beat forty seven to three. I

1975
01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 1: don't think it would have been that bad. Okay, so

1976
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:02,720
Speaker 1: that would have made everything better than we gotta beat

1977
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:06,120
Speaker 1: forty forty nine to twenty. All right, so you got that.

1978
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:08,800
Speaker 1: So then Nate Peterman, I mean, Derek Henderson stays in

1979
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: the game, you play better. Maybe maybe you do play

1980
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: better against Los Angeles. Maybe they don't take their foot

1981
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:16,400
Speaker 1: off the gas in the second second half and let

1982
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:18,240
Speaker 1: your defense find itself, and all of a sudden, that

1983
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:22,560
Speaker 1: plays better. My question is Derek Anderson goes down to

1984
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 1: a concussion, then the next guy in which would have

1985
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,240
Speaker 1: been who would have been Nate Peterman or it would

1986
01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 1: have been Josh Allen. Yeah, so that guy goes down.

1987
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:33,479
Speaker 1: Now you're with Nate Peterman and Josh Allen again, and

1988
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,720
Speaker 1: you're sitting here in week eight with that guy. You're

1989
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:39,880
Speaker 1: saying it's it was unavoidable. I'm saying that and I'm

1990
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 1: not even just talking about my quarterbacks here, Um Steve.

1991
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 1: They average eleven points per game, right, and I would

1992
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:49,360
Speaker 1: want them to ask that question. Tell me how we

1993
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: got here, Tell me how we got to the point

1994
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 1: where we average eleven points per game. And I'll tell

1995
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 1: you what street in their starting games. I get it.

1996
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 1: But you'll tell you this too. It doesn't all start

1997
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 1: and end with the quarterbacks either. I got you gotta

1998
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 1: start center. Who's really good? Who who kicked you in

1999
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:05,360
Speaker 1: the stomach and had to retire? Yeah, he didn't want

2000
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:09,639
Speaker 1: to retire. And yeah, then you've got Then you've got

2001
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 1: the other guy, Richie Incognito. He's out so now and

2002
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 1: this has been my my I've been howling about this

2003
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 1: for weeks. Everybody since anybody's saying this. They should have

2004
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 1: done more, they should have been more. They only have

2005
01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 1: so much to do they only had. They don't when

2006
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 1: they lose those guys, they don't get extra draft picks

2007
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 1: to replace them. They got to replace them with the

2008
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 1: same draft picks and the same money they had when

2009
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:32,080
Speaker 1: they lost them, when they had to replace their quarterback,

2010
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 1: and when they had to replace their wide receiving corps,

2011
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: and when they had to replace whoever, you know, when

2012
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 1: they had to bolster their defense so they could lean

2013
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 1: on it with a rookie quarterback. All that stuff. They

2014
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:45,839
Speaker 1: don't get extra assets when they lose unexpected great players

2015
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 1: in the off season. I know that. And then they

2016
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:51,800
Speaker 1: drafted a guy, A drafted a guy they signed a

2017
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 1: free agent for eight million bucks a year from who

2018
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:56,599
Speaker 1: has started every game of his career as a four

2019
01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 1: year starter, and he ends up coming here and he

2020
01:36:58,760 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 1: can't win the job. I mean, they listen, it's I

2021
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 1: get it. But there's a lot of things other than

2022
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback that I've gone into this pot that is

2023
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:11,920
Speaker 1: not playing part of very good offen. How we got here,

2024
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:13,519
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell there's a lot of ways. I mean,

2025
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:17,040
Speaker 1: I would I would ask that question. We got more

2026
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 1: to come. An hour ago, one Bill's Live, presented by

2027
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:21,200
Speaker 1: Collat of Health from One Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo

Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. The Buffalo Bills wrapping up practice.

2030
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:44,080
Speaker 1: We believe as we speak inside the ad Pro Sports

2031
01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 1: Training Center, it's not expected that Tremaine Edmunds got in

2032
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 1: any practice today. Still in concussion protocol. We'll see how

2033
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:52,920
Speaker 1: that plays out over the last next day or two

2034
01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 1: of practice. Derek Anderson not at practice today. He is

2035
01:37:56,800 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol. After the loss the other day Monday

2036
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:02,560
Speaker 1: Night to the New England Patriots, the Bills have some

2037
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:06,719
Speaker 1: question marks. Lorenzo Alexander Kyle Williams both resting yesterday at practice,

2038
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 1: both on the field for today's Thursday's practice. Bears have

2039
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:13,480
Speaker 1: some injuries as well. Right guard Kyle Long has attendant

2040
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,639
Speaker 1: injuring his right foot. The team deciding whether to put

2041
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:18,680
Speaker 1: him on injured reserve. They could put him on I

2042
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: are worth the intent to bring him back in eight

2043
01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 1: weeks if they don't think he can be back sooner.

2044
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: He is a Pro Bowl offensive lineman twenty nine years old.

2045

2046
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round in twenty thirteen. Bears, of course,

2047
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 1: concerned about Khalil Mack, the UB product who did not

2048
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:36,920
Speaker 1: play last week against the New York Jets and was

2049
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 1: held out of practice yesterday. Max still suffering an ankle

2050
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:43,719
Speaker 1: injury suffered a couple of weeks ago against the Miami Dolphins.

2051
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:47,439

2056
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,760
Speaker 1: number one thousand or Jason Palmanville in the NHL. He

2057
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:06,160
Speaker 1: played in his first NHL game December twenty seven, two

2058
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 1: thousand and three for the Sabers. Currently Palmonville ninth and

2059
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 1: franchise history with five hundred points seven hundred six career points.

2060
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Will plays one thousand NHL game tonight for the Sabers

2061
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:21,680
Speaker 1: in Ottawa. William McCovey, the San Francisco Giants Hall of

2062

2063
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 1: with the Giants, died yesterday at the age of eighty.

2064
01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:30,759
Speaker 1: The Giants say he died peacefully after battling ongoing health issues.

2065
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 1: And that's the update from One Bills Drive, John Murphy's

2066
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 1: team tasker in our One Buffalo Studio talking about the

2067
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 1: Bills coming up against the Chicago Bears. Bears are good

2068
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 1: seed by watch video last night. They're good. They're not great,

2069
01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 1: They're not great. And there they're wins this year, nothing

2070
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: really special. Let me tell you who they've beaten. You know,

2071
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:50,639
Speaker 1: they've beaten the teams they should be is they should

2072
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:53,599
Speaker 1: beat as people say, beat the Jets. Last week started

2073
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,000
Speaker 1: the season with actually maybe their best game and I

2074
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 1: watched it on Sunday Night Football, right the first weekend

2075
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 1: of the season, the Ackers at Green Bay. They lost

2076
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 1: that one by a point, twenty four to twenty three.

2077
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 1: That was a really good game. They played really well.

2078
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 1: That was Khalil Mack's debut on Sunday Night Football. Then

2079
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:12,519
Speaker 1: they beat Seattle, they won at Arizona sixteen to fourteen.

2080
01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:14,800
Speaker 1: Got back by with that one. They beat Tampa Bay

2081
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 1: forty eight to ten, and they beat the Jets. They've

2082
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 1: lost in Miami and overtime, they lost in New England

2083
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:21,800
Speaker 1: and they lost that game to Green Bay. Four wins,

2084
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:24,760
Speaker 1: three losses, very much in the mix in the NFC North.

2085
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 1: Pretty good all round defense. Mac obviously makes them great,

2086
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 1: makes he makes everybody great around him. Pretty good offense.

2087
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 1: I like what Trubisky has done, although I wouldn't say

2088
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 1: he is a world beater. He's okay. He's midway through

2089
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:39,680
Speaker 1: his second year. Yeah, and at times heat a long

2090
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 1: way to go a long time. A lot of times

2091
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 1: he looks exactly like that, but he also shows why

2092
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,720
Speaker 1: he was drafted number three. Overall. The guy's got some

2093
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:50,760
Speaker 1: talent yep, and he runs well. He's an athlete and

2094
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:55,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem too big for him, at least anymore. So. Yeah,

2095
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: Trubisky is a quarterback that's getting better all the time,

2096
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 1: and I think the Bears are really happy they've got him.

2097
01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 1: And so I you can see beating Seattle, beating Tampa Bay,

2098
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Arizona and the New York Jets kind of

2099
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 1: seemed like the same tier football teams in the Seattle

2100
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:13,639
Speaker 1: I still give them a little bit of an edge.

2101
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 1: With a guy like Russell Wilson on the field, Beating

2102
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 1: him says a lot about where your team is and

2103
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 1: where they could be. I'm they got to feel really

2104
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: good about the four games they've won, even though you

2105
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 1: know their winning percentage of those teams isn't what you'd think.

2106
01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: Their win over the Jets last Sunday, a twenty four

2107
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:31,760
Speaker 1: to ten win over the Jets, I watched that last night,

2108
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 1: watching in great detail. Had to be one of the

2109
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: worst NFL games I've seen in a long time. Steve.

2110
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:38,720
Speaker 1: It was just lack of aid and the wool. I've

2111
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 1: seen some bad ones this year, right, but it was

2112
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 1: just a bad game to watch. I mean, not a

2113
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: whole lot going on from either team. The Jets had

2114
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:48,840
Speaker 1: nothing to offer, and darn Old God bless him playing

2115
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,560
Speaker 1: the rookie roll of a quarterback. But it was a

2116
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:54,320
Speaker 1: bad game to watch. And the Bears won. But they

2117
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:57,760
Speaker 1: didn't win convincingly or impressively. They just kind of won.

2118
01:41:57,840 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 1: They just kind of hang around and won. The guy

2119
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 1: who is the guy to watch I think is calling right,

2120
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 1: Tarik Cohen. I think he's he's got the speed, he's

2121
01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:10,200
Speaker 1: got m he's a great pass receiver. He seems to

2122
01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:12,560
Speaker 1: have tremendous vision both as a runner and as a

2123
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:14,880
Speaker 1: pass receiver. He'd be the guy that would scare me

2124
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:18,559
Speaker 1: if I'm in the Buffalo defensive coaching suites this week

2125
01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 1: out there, what we're gonna do with this guy. The

2126
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:23,559
Speaker 1: guy's five six, yeah, small, and he can scoot quick.

2127
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 1: He can really scow. We did a film matchup matchup

2128
01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 1: to watch on him this week you'll see, and he

2129
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 1: is really versatile. He's very fast, and you got to

2130
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:35,760
Speaker 1: watch out for him because they'll find different ways to

2131
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:37,679
Speaker 1: get him the football. They treat him like we treat

2132
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, you know, get him the ball somehow, some way,

2133
01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:43,320
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see how the Bills do it,

2134
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:45,640
Speaker 1: particularly if Tremaine Edmonds is not on the field and

2135
01:42:45,720 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 1: you've got a guy like Julian Stanford coming in who's

2136
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 1: got a lot on his plate as the guy who's

2137
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,080
Speaker 1: probably gonna call the defensive signals, and then also try

2138
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:55,200
Speaker 1: and keep track of a guy who is as fast

2139
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:59,160
Speaker 1: and explosive as a guy like Terek Cohen. So, yeah,

2140
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a game that I think in Buffalo,

2141
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:05,760
Speaker 1: in this building with the fans here, Yeah, I think

2142
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:08,519
Speaker 1: it's going to be a very close football game. I think.

2143
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bears aren't going to aren't in

2144
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,640
Speaker 1: a position. Although they've scored some points, uh, you know,

2145
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 1: way more points than the Bills have. I don't think

2146
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:17,560
Speaker 1: it's an offense. It's going to come in against the

2147
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 1: Bills defense and light it up. Yeah. I think it's

2148
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: going to be a tight game the Bears. I mean,

2149
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:24,880
Speaker 1: we talked about Trubisky and what he brings. He brings

2150
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: a really good athletic component to the game in some ways,

2151
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:30,480
Speaker 1: a little bit like Josh Allen. He can run. Trubisky

2152
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:32,840
Speaker 1: has run at thirty seven times this year, so he's

2153
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 1: averaging about five rushes per game. And it's not just scrambling.

2154
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean they run read option and a lot of

2155
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:40,439
Speaker 1: teams have kind of checked out of that. They the

2156
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:42,760
Speaker 1: Bears have not, and he runs it very well as great.

2157
01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:44,600
Speaker 1: Uh you know, ball fakes as they go to the

2158
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: exchange point and he can hang onto it or give

2159
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 1: it to Cohen or the other running back, Howard. But

2160
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:51,120
Speaker 1: when he keeps it, he hides it well and he

2161
01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 1: can scoot. Trubisky is a very good athlete, very good runners.

2162
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: They said. He averages five carries per gaming. He's their

2163
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 1: second leading rusher with two ninety six yards. The Bears

2164
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:01,920
Speaker 1: have got that in their game plan, and we're asking

2165
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:04,519
Speaker 1: eight yards. That's right. Yeah, he gets it done, and

2166
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 1: that's what the Bears have in their game plan. We're

2167
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 1: asking you what you're what's the best game plan for

2168
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,599
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills offense versus the Bears defense. You can

2169
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:14,280
Speaker 1: call us or tweet us. And forty one percent of

2170
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:16,600
Speaker 1: you said, don't turn the football over, And to me,

2171
01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm all about that. If the Bills don't turn it over,

2172
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 1: they're really hard to beat, no matter who's playing quarterback.

2173
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 1: Nineteen percent of you say, incorporate Prior, the new wide

2174
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 1: receiver of the Buffalo Bills just signed. Of course, twenty

2175
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 1: eight percent of you say use McCoy throw him the football,

2176
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:33,640
Speaker 1: and I get that as well. Twelve percent of you

2177
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 1: have something else. And on the tweet sheet we've got

2178
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,920
Speaker 1: from Tom Bart's best plan. Offensive line needs to block

2179
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 1: to give Nate time to look down field. Offensive line

2180
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,880
Speaker 1: needs to open holes for running for the RBS, and

2181
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 1: Nate needs to relax and let the wide receivers do

2182
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 1: their job. Go Bills. Also from Jason Crandell, get Prior

2183
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:54,720
Speaker 1: up to speed as quick as possible. We finally got

2184
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 1: a receiver that has the mentality to be a great receiver,

2185
01:44:57,479 --> 01:44:59,639
Speaker 1: to be great in the NFL. He wants the ball

2186
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: and he'll fight to get it. That referring to some

2187
01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:04,320
Speaker 1: of the soundbites we've had from Terrell prior. He is

2188
01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 1: not lacking in confidence. He wants the football. You know,

2189
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:09,120
Speaker 1: you can tell just from the interview Murph. We heard

2190
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 1: it earlier in the show. He's got some energy. It

2191
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:13,519
Speaker 1: seems like he's got a little bit of a chip

2192
01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:17,439
Speaker 1: on his shoulder. Wants to prove himself, has a lot

2193
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:19,640
Speaker 1: to prove in the NFL. He's got one season of

2194
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 1: a thousand yards receiving. He did it in Cleveland. As

2195
01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 1: Chris Bound reminded us, there were five different quarterbacks throwing

2196
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:28,519
Speaker 1: him the football that year. That's that's pretty impressive. Sure,

2197
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's another player in the NFL

2198
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:33,360
Speaker 1: history he's got a thousand yards season from five different quarterbacks,

2199
01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:37,559
Speaker 1: I mean, starting five different starting quarterbacks. That's pretty amazing.

2200
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: We'll see. Let's take some of your calls on this issue.

2201
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:42,639
Speaker 1: What's the best game plan for the Buffalo offense this week?

2202
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,639
Speaker 1: Ryan on the line from Williamsville, Hello, Ryan, go ahead,

2203
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 1: Oh thanks for taking the car. I would say they

2204
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:54,639
Speaker 1: need to run Ivory and then split McCoy out as

2205
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:57,839
Speaker 1: a receiver. But I also agree with you in regards

2206
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:01,280
Speaker 1: to the GM and the coach can responsibility for the

2207
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 1: Bills being in this situation. In regards in quarterbacks, I mean,

2208
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 1: we kind of get on the players when they don't

2209
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:11,000
Speaker 1: show up for old tas or you know, the early

2210
01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:14,760
Speaker 1: workouts and optional stuff. But why show up if the

2211
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:17,360
Speaker 1: team you're going to actually go to battle with is

2212
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: are not the people that are there for those sessions.

2213
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean. What do you mean,

2214
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 1: really do think that? What do you mean by that?

2215
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean there? Run? Why show up?

2216
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 1: If what what I mean is that, why show up

2217
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:34,280
Speaker 1: for optional workouts early in the offseason and participate in

2218
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:38,680
Speaker 1: all those activities. When you have people quitting at halftime,

2219
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:42,439
Speaker 1: when you have people getting traded at the last like

2220
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:45,840
Speaker 1: after the preseason, the people that you're going through all

2221
01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:49,519
Speaker 1: of that effort to build a relationship and understanding with

2222
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 1: and that team bond are not the people that you

2223
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 1: end up playing with on the field. Yeah. I don't

2224
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:56,759
Speaker 1: know if that's a factor. One guy quit at halftime,

2225
01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:59,920
Speaker 1: not really affected. Let me finish. One guy quit at

2226
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:01,640
Speaker 1: half time. I don't know if that's a factor. And

2227
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:03,680
Speaker 1: they had really good attendance, by the way, in the

2228
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 1: offseason workouts, so I don't think that's a factor. You

2229
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:09,439
Speaker 1: said you agree with me, I don't. Yeah, I mean sure,

2230
01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 1: Being and McDermott bear responsibility. Of course they do. They

2231
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 1: would tell you they do. Right. That's their team, that's

2232
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 1: their one loss record. Right now, it's not the total

2233
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 1: picture yet, season not over yet, We'll see how it

2234
01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:23,080
Speaker 1: winds up. But of course they understand that they bear

2235
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 1: accountability for what's going on. Steve. And also, I think

2236
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 1: the thing you said about, you know, why should players

2237
01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: you know, show up at OTAs and do all that. Listen,

2238
01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 1: let me just tell you this. As a player, right,

2239
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 1: you know, you're not guaranteed anything you show up or

2240
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: not show up. You're getting paid to show up. You're

2241
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: getting paid to give your best effort. You're getting paid

2242
01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 1: because you have a relationship and a contract that says

2243
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to play football for this team and I

2244
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:47,599
Speaker 1: want to play. If you want to play your best,

2245
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:49,960
Speaker 1: you do everything you can to play your best. That

2246
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 1: means you show up to all the team activities as

2247
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:55,519
Speaker 1: a player, you have no control and you have no say.

2248
01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:59,120
Speaker 1: It's not your responsibility to worry about the guys around you.

2249
01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:01,880
Speaker 1: Who's going to be the guys who are there are

2250
01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 1: the guys who show up and the guys who are

2251
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,680
Speaker 1: on that roster or your teammates, whether you like it

2252
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:09,439
Speaker 1: or not. So show up and give your best effort

2253

Speaker 1: and be a plus not a minus in every situation

2254
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:15,599
Speaker 1: you're getting these guys are they sign a contract, they

2255
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 1: make an agreement, You can say, hey, they you know

2256
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:19,599
Speaker 1: the club can cut Yeah, the club can cut you anytime.

2257
01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 1: You know that before you take up the game. There's

2258
01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: nothing there's nothing new about that. The club doesn't owe you.

2259
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:29,080
Speaker 1: Hold in your hand and say, hey, this is we're

2260
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:30,840
Speaker 1: all gonna make this is just as nice just for

2261
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 1: you as we can. We'll we'll keep all the guys

2262
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 1: that you like on the team, whether they're whether they

2263
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 1: can play or whether they can't. Wrong, you get a

2264
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 1: play with whoever they tell you you're gonna play with.

2265
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:44,479
Speaker 1: That's the way it goes. You don't have you think.

2266
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:47,360
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy asked to be traded from Philadelphia team that

2267
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:49,360
Speaker 1: got drafted him. He was playing well. We had thousand

2268
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 1: yard seasons with They didn't ask his permission. They didn't

2269
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:55,920
Speaker 1: ask Kelvin Benjamin, they don't ask anybody. Didn't ask Sammy Watkins.

2270
01:48:55,960 --> 01:48:59,080
Speaker 1: They certainly didn't ask Marcel Darius. They didn't ask Ron Darby.

2271
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna ask. They didn't ask Khalil mackin Oakland

2272
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: whether he wanted to be traded. You think Levion Bell

2273
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:06,439
Speaker 1: has anything to do except sit at home. You think

2274
01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 1: he's happy about blowing fourteen point five million bucks. The

2275
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:11,439
Speaker 1: players don't have a leg to stand on, and they

2276
01:49:11,479 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 1: don't deserve one because they know what the deal is.

2277
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 1: When they sign the contract, they sign up to play

2278
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 1: as good as they can play. Period. That's the way

2279
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:24,559
Speaker 1: it works. Ain't nobody holding their hand. They're grown men.

2280
01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:28,160
Speaker 1: They're taking the risk on the field. They sign the

2281
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:30,559
Speaker 1: contract and they are getting paid a ton of money,

2282
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: just like I used to get paid a ton of

2283
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:36,920
Speaker 1: money to do it. You know what you sign up for? Yeah,

2284
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:39,160
Speaker 1: you don't know? Me an apology for because I know this.

2285
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 1: Those guys at the top, like Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott,

2286
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:47,880
Speaker 1: they sweat blood over the roster. They have serious conversations.

2287
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:53,000
Speaker 1: They have disagreements over guys. They argue about guys. They

2288
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:55,559
Speaker 1: have coaches on the staff that fight for these guys,

2289
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:57,400
Speaker 1: and they have other coaches that are fighting to get

2290
01:49:57,479 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 1: those same players off the roster. It is an argument

2291
01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 1: all the time. And I'll tell you what, there's a

2292
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 1: lot of argument going on in the offensive side. I'll

2293
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:07,200
Speaker 1: bet you right now now. They love each other. These

2294
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 1: guys respect each other. And when I say argument, I

2295
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:13,639
Speaker 1: mean it's a disagreement. There's there's no turmoil and there's

2296
01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:16,639
Speaker 1: no drama going on. This is what happens on every team,

2297
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:20,240
Speaker 1: even the Patriots, even the Rams, even the Chiefs. There's

2298
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:23,439
Speaker 1: disagreements all the time because that's the high level they're

2299
01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:27,600
Speaker 1: talking about. They're talking about subtle differences in personalities, in

2300
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:30,880
Speaker 1: skill sets and all of that stuff. It is at

2301
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:34,200
Speaker 1: the highest level that these guys are working, and they

2302
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:37,759
Speaker 1: all have egos, they all have opinions, and they've earned

2303
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:40,599
Speaker 1: the right to express them because of the work they've done.

2304
01:50:41,680 --> 01:50:43,960
Speaker 1: Don't tell me these guys are like, I don't know

2305
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:45,760
Speaker 1: why they even show up to play for this team

2306
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:49,360
Speaker 1: because they cut my best buddy, or they traded a

2307
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 1: guy who's a pretty good player for a draft pick.

2308
01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 1: That's the way it works. That's the way it works.

2309
01:50:55,120 --> 01:50:57,840
Speaker 1: I have never been a part of the NFL. I've

2310
01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 1: never covered the NFL in Mike since nineteen eighty five.

2311
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 1: At an point in history where more teams at the

2312
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 1: same time are churning their rosters like they are all

2313
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 1: over the National Football League right now. The Bills are

2314
01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 1: doing it, the Chiefs do it, the Rams do it,

2315
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:15,400
Speaker 1: the Bears are doing it. Everybody's doing it. That's the

2316
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 1: way it's done these days, more than any point in

2317
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:21,880
Speaker 1: NFL history. Rosters get churned now more than ever. Yeah,

2318
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 1: So that's the way it is. That's just the way

2319
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:26,560
Speaker 1: it is. What's the best offensive game playing for the

2320
01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:28,639
Speaker 1: Bills against Chicago? What are you? What are you laughing about?

2321
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:30,479
Speaker 1: I'm laughing at myself. You went off on a tan

2322
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:33,200
Speaker 1: I did. I'm kind of Can you bring me back here? Where?

2323
01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: Where are we supposed to be? I don't know where?

2324
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 1: How you got there? I don't know he sent me

2325
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: off on these guys like I don't even know why

2326
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:39,920
Speaker 1: they show up in the off season with these guys

2327
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:42,479
Speaker 1: when they think somebody's gonna get Yeah, they're gonna get

2328
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:45,160
Speaker 1: traded and you might get cut too, and they're gonna

2329
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: get cut and traded and Ben. Yeah, that's the deal,

2330
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:50,360
Speaker 1: as you said, that's what you sign up. I feel

2331
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:52,840
Speaker 1: sorry for these guys. I don't feel sorry. Nobody felt

2332
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:56,960
Speaker 1: sorry for me. I mean, you know, yeah, don't get

2333
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:59,000
Speaker 1: me started on that again. I can go off again.

2334
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:01,439
Speaker 1: Can you do another ten? I probably could. I could

2335
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:03,160
Speaker 1: probably go off on ten minutes on while you don't

2336
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: need you sorry for these guys. It was about that,

2337
01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 1: about players who lose faith in the upper management over

2338
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:11,000
Speaker 1: the moves they're making. Come on, man, what's the best

2339
01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 1: game plan for the Bills offense against Chicago? What do

2340
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 1: you think? Dave on the line in Florida. Hello, Dave,

01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:21,720
Speaker 1: Please tell me you're Please tell me you're laughing with

2343
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 1: me and not me. I'm not laughing at you, okay.

2344
01:52:24,400 --> 01:52:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure out we got there? A

2345
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:29,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, Dave, you got buy a vote Hall of

2346
01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 1: Fame vote for Steve Tasker. We take those or yeah,

2347
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:36,560
Speaker 1: you got it. There's another one. Peterman. The negativity on

2348
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:39,800
Speaker 1: Peterman is getting me upset. You guys got to get

2349
01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:43,599
Speaker 1: a positive at tude we gotta split out. We gotta

2350
01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:46,160
Speaker 1: split McCoy out a little bit and hand that ball

2351
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 1: up the middle to Ivory. All right, okay, we've been

2352
01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 1: hearing to Dave. You're right, you're right on the line

2353
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:56,840
Speaker 1: with what everybody's saying. You had to find a way

2354
01:52:56,880 --> 01:53:00,639
Speaker 1: to get Lashaw McCoy outside. Give him some give give

2355
01:53:00,720 --> 01:53:02,719
Speaker 1: him some room on the outside. Throw him the football

2356
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:05,840
Speaker 1: with some space. Let Ivory be a hammer inside. Let

2357
01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:07,800
Speaker 1: him keep the respect of the running game going with

2358
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:12,920
Speaker 1: his abilities and be positive with ter. Go ahead and

2359
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 1: keep going, Dave, I got one more point. Like the

2360
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:20,479
Speaker 1: Monday night game, the score was twelve to six that

2361
01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:23,800
Speaker 1: Mimano made that attempt at an interception, he batted the

2362
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:27,960
Speaker 1: ball in the air. Yep, we had we had that six.

2363
01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:32,439
Speaker 1: I know, I agree completely, complexion of the whole game

2364
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:35,400
Speaker 1: and the rest of this year. You're probably right, you

2365
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:41,280
Speaker 1: might hey, yeah, maybe there might have been a ripple effect. Yes,

2366
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 1: I believe it is. There you go, Dave, And that's

2367
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,760
Speaker 1: why that's a good calling, the good point. That's why

2368
01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 1: in the locker room Monday night, Steve not one, not

2369
01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:51,160
Speaker 1: too but virtually every defensive player I talked to four

2370
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:53,640
Speaker 1: or five at least said, yeah, we played well, we

2371
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 1: didn't get takeaways. We needed takeaways. We failed, we didn't

2372
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 1: get takeaways. I'm sure they're thinking about that Milano play

2373
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:01,040
Speaker 1: and a couple of others. Right Molo had another one

2374
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 1: on Garden Gronkowski. He almost dove and intercept that would

2375
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,960
Speaker 1: have taken three Think about it. That would have the

2376
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:09,360
Speaker 1: pick he missed against Gronkowsky, which would have been listening.

2377
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:11,160
Speaker 1: It would have been a phenomenal catch. I get it

2378
01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:13,320
Speaker 1: was a really I can't expect him to make that play,

2379
01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:15,720
Speaker 1: but if he does, that's three points off the board

2380
01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:17,320
Speaker 1: for the Patriots because they got the field goal out

2381
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 1: of that. They held him to a field goal. Later

2382
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:21,040
Speaker 1: on he makes the pick six, that's ten points that

2383
01:54:21,120 --> 01:54:23,799
Speaker 1: come off the point off the board for the Patriots

2384
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 1: and goes right on board with the Bills. And if

2385
01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 1: everything's the same, it's a fifteen sixteen game. You know,

2386
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:33,680
Speaker 1: there you go. It's a huge plays and and and

2387
01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:36,240
Speaker 1: it's a healthy locker room despite all the problems the

2388
01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:40,120
Speaker 1: offense has happened having it's a healthy locker room when

2389
01:54:40,200 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 1: the defensive guys as great as and believe me, they

2390
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 1: played great as good as and great as they played

2391
01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:47,440
Speaker 1: on Monday night, to have them say, you know what,

2392
01:54:47,560 --> 01:54:50,240
Speaker 1: we could have done better. Yep, that's a healthy locker room.

2393
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:52,000
Speaker 1: That's right where you want to be. That's why Sean

2394
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:54,200
Speaker 1: McDermott hires the guys on this team that he has.

2395
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:56,800
Speaker 1: That's why they do it, to have it when things

2396
01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:58,520
Speaker 1: go bad like they are, and they got they got

2397
01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: a hard stretch here to go through with his offense

2398
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:04,560
Speaker 1: finding itself. They stay together. They played better as a

2399
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 1: result of it. They played better as a result of

2400
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:08,440
Speaker 1: the kind of guys they hire. They played better as

2401
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,040
Speaker 1: a result of the culture that everybody kind of sometimes

2402
01:55:11,120 --> 01:55:13,360
Speaker 1: makes fun of. They make fun they have. They played

2403
01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:16,560
Speaker 1: better because of the process that Sean McDermott says all

2404
01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 1: the time that we also make fun of. He uses

2405
01:55:18,480 --> 01:55:20,200
Speaker 1: the word so often we all do. We kind of

2406
01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:21,760
Speaker 1: make fun of it. But that's the kind of stuff

2407
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,200
Speaker 1: that shows you it works. I mean, he didn't hasn't

2408
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:28,240
Speaker 1: translated into wins now. But there's some times, particularly a

2409
01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:30,120
Speaker 1: year ago when they got into the playoffs, where it's

2410
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:32,440
Speaker 1: the only reason they got in the playoffs. I would

2411
01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:35,720
Speaker 1: submit here's a call from Jeff an Old and hello, Jeff,

2412
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:40,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey, Steve Murphum, like someone was just sitting

2413
01:55:40,040 --> 01:55:43,120
Speaker 1: here saying, don't ask Steve the question because he's really mad.

2414
01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, you know, I was just thinking, as

2415
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:48,920
Speaker 1: I shut up there for the for you know what,

2416
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 1: you know a little late, um, that I gotta I

2417
01:55:52,280 --> 01:55:54,520
Speaker 1: gotta take a deep breath. I have another doctor Pepper.

2418
01:55:55,200 --> 01:55:57,320
Speaker 1: They should I should, I should have it the doctor Pepper.

2419
01:55:57,360 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 1: What's on your mind? Jeff? Go ahead, Jeff? Hey, Yeah,

2420
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 1: I was watching Pardon or parton Interruption and they the

2421
01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:08,560
Speaker 1: one guy they love Peterman, and they said he shouldn't

2422
01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:11,120
Speaker 1: have been putting that position there at the huge under

2423
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:15,200
Speaker 1: the one game we played there. And they also mentioned

2424
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:18,640
Speaker 1: after the Monday night game that or Belichick was laughing

2425
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 1: because we didn't start Peterman. I just wondered, what, Steve,

2426
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:23,480
Speaker 1: Where did they come up with that? Uh? Yeah, I

2427
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:25,440
Speaker 1: didn't see that. I didn't. I haven't heard that from

2428
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 1: those guys, and that it surprises me a little bit because, um,

2429
01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:31,040
Speaker 1: those same guys on Pardon the Interruption of the guys

2430
01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:33,280
Speaker 1: that use Nathan Peterman as a punchline, and you know,

2431
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:36,240
Speaker 1: and they will next week if he plays poorly. But

2432
01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:40,360
Speaker 1: I get it, Um, everybody has their own opinion. Um

2433
01:56:41,560 --> 01:56:44,680
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman. He gets lost in though, it gets lost

2434
01:56:44,720 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 1: in the conversation of think about and I've said this

2435
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:50,440
Speaker 1: before on the show, and I don't want to go back.

2436
01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to rehash and beat this horse again,

2437
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 1: but I'll just bring it up real quick. Think of

2438
01:56:57,080 --> 01:57:01,000
Speaker 1: how much Nathan Peterman had to go through after the

2439
01:57:01,200 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 1: start to his career that he had in last year,

2440
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:04,960
Speaker 1: the ups and downs that he had last year, mostly

2441
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:07,560
Speaker 1: downs last year. Think of what he had to do

2442
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 1: to earn back the trust of a coaching staff that

2443
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,880
Speaker 1: was new with new offense, who were going to draft

2444
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:17,280
Speaker 1: a high, high round quarterback. Think of the work that

2445
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:20,400
Speaker 1: he had to put in and the effort he had

2446
01:57:20,440 --> 01:57:24,000
Speaker 1: to put forth to earn the trust of that coaching

2447
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:29,440
Speaker 1: staff again, because listen, it's hard. It's hard to imagine

2448
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 1: how much he had to do to get back on

2449
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:36,600
Speaker 1: the field in any way, shape or form that after

2450
01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:38,920
Speaker 1: what happened to him and what his has happened to him.

2451
01:57:39,560 --> 01:57:41,520
Speaker 1: Think about the effort he has put forth to get

2452
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:43,440
Speaker 1: back on the field and to earn their trust. And

2453
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:45,360
Speaker 1: you can say, hey, it's by default all these guys

2454
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:48,320
Speaker 1: went down. Maybe, but I'll tell you what, getting on

2455
01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:50,960
Speaker 1: and earning a starting job after the season that he

2456
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:53,960
Speaker 1: put together last year as a second year player, I

2457
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:55,480
Speaker 1: can't say enough about him. And he saw it, and

2458
01:57:55,520 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 1: you've heard him. We all heard him. Maybe if you

2459
01:57:57,280 --> 01:57:59,720
Speaker 1: haven't go back and listen to his interview yesterday when

2460
01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 1: he met the media for the first time. This you know,

2461
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 1: since week one as a starting quarterback, he didn't He

2462
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:07,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a season last year, Steve. He had a

2463
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:10,800
Speaker 1: horrible half against the Chargers and three quarters against the

2464
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:13,400
Speaker 1: Colts and a little bit of a playoff appearance. So well,

2465
01:58:13,880 --> 01:58:16,080
Speaker 1: I guess, And my point is, I don't look at it.

2466
01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:17,720
Speaker 1: It's like, look what he's look at the season he

2467
01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:19,200
Speaker 1: had last year. What do you mean he barely had

2468
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:20,720
Speaker 1: any playing time. I mean he was off of when

2469
01:58:20,720 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 1: he was out there, but really didn't get a whole

2470
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:24,440
Speaker 1: lot of playing time. And it goes back to my

2471
01:58:24,480 --> 01:58:26,560
Speaker 1: original point from two and a half hours ago. We

2472
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:29,200
Speaker 1: don't know what Nathan Peterman really is. We don't know

2473
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:30,960
Speaker 1: because he hasn't played enough yet. We'll find out a

2474
01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 1: little more of this Sunday. Obviously, there's two ways to

2475
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 1: look at that he had more of a season last year.

2476
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 1: Than Pat Mahomes did in Kansas City. Mahomes had one

2477
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 1: start at the end of the year. Now he was

2478
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:46,520
Speaker 1: playing on a playoff team behind an established number one quarterback. Yes,

2479
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 1: I think that makes that comparison invalid. Yeah, yep, Mahomes

2480
01:58:54,040 --> 01:58:58,120
Speaker 1: in a totally different situation with much better, much much

2481
01:58:58,160 --> 01:59:01,040
Speaker 1: better offensive staff around and much offensive weapons. That was

2482
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:03,000
Speaker 1: a team that's built around offense. This one here that

2483
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:06,080
Speaker 1: he's playing force built around defense. But still he still

2484
01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:09,720
Speaker 1: has spent a year in the inside the NFL and

2485
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:12,200
Speaker 1: he's you know, you gotta expect him now to start,

2486
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, this is like the third reset for him, right, yep?

2487
01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:20,360
Speaker 1: So I don't you know, for I'm like the caller

2488
01:59:20,400 --> 01:59:22,920
Speaker 1: who just came in some first reset would be the

2489
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:26,080
Speaker 1: Colts game, the Houston game. Doesn't the Houston game is

2490
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:28,520
Speaker 1: just a relief. Think like, second reset would be the

2491
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:31,320
Speaker 1: starting game this year, Baltimore. This is the third reset,

2492
01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: You're right, third reset, I think, yeah, And I don't.

2493
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't count the snow game last year's reset. I well,

2494
01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:38,680
Speaker 1: the fact that he started was a reset, right, but

2495
01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:40,560
Speaker 1: it was a foot of snow on the ground, and

2496
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, and he actually was leading the game when

2497
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 1: he left. So I don't know anyway, I don't know

2498
01:59:47,640 --> 01:59:49,800
Speaker 1: what what was I gonna say? What we're talking about,

2499
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:51,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna break, We're gonna come back with more. Steve Tansker,

Speaker 1: I was like, I get the passion. I see the passion.

2520

02:02:27,880 --> 02:02:29,760
Speaker 1: might come on, man, And you didn't get mad about that.

2550
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:33,160
Speaker 1: I didn't because it's because it's ridiculous. And I'll tell

2551
02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:36,160
Speaker 1: you why. And I've said this before. I asked Dan Rooney,

2552
02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:39,280
Speaker 1: the head coach of the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers,

2553
02:02:39,320 --> 02:02:41,400
Speaker 1: this is the old Dan who, God rest his soul,

2554
02:02:41,440 --> 02:02:44,320
Speaker 1: passed away in the last few years. And I said,

2555
02:02:44,480 --> 02:02:47,160
Speaker 1: because this was after he had won his second Super

2556
02:02:47,200 --> 02:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Bowl with Mike Tomlin, and he had won a Super

2557
02:02:50,200 --> 02:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Bowl with another head coach and Bill Cower and he'd

2558
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:56,200
Speaker 1: won four Super Bowls with Chuck Noll, and those are

2559
02:02:56,240 --> 02:02:59,400
Speaker 1: the only three head coaches they had had in over

2560
02:02:59,520 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 1: fifty years. So I said, what is the criteria you

2561
02:03:04,720 --> 02:03:07,280
Speaker 1: use to get your to pick a head coach who

2562
02:03:07,280 --> 02:03:09,680
Speaker 1: can win a Super Bowl like that? And he shrugged

2563
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:12,040
Speaker 1: his shoulders and he said, listen. He says, you hire

2564
02:03:12,080 --> 02:03:14,520
Speaker 1: the smartest guy you can find, and then you support

2565
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:16,880
Speaker 1: him until he figures it out. And there may be

2566
02:03:17,320 --> 02:03:20,400
Speaker 1: some of that to Sean McDermott Brandon being figuring this out.

2567
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:22,160
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, they got the defense figured

2568
02:03:22,200 --> 02:03:24,840
Speaker 1: out for sure, and they've made some real bold steps

2569
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:26,520
Speaker 1: to get to the point where they could draft who

2570
02:03:26,560 --> 02:03:29,080
Speaker 1: they think or hope will be a franchise quarterback. And

2571
02:03:29,120 --> 02:03:31,400
Speaker 1: if they got that right, which I'd love to find

2572
02:03:31,440 --> 02:03:33,760
Speaker 1: out this season if they did, If they got that right,

2573
02:03:33,840 --> 02:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the rest of that stuff is gonna take care of

2574
02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:39,720
Speaker 1: itself too. You do not you do not bail on

2575
02:03:39,880 --> 02:03:42,360
Speaker 1: this coaching staff, this GM or any of the stuff

2576
02:03:42,400 --> 02:03:43,920
Speaker 1: that's in this But you got to let them do

2577
02:03:44,040 --> 02:03:46,000
Speaker 1: their jobs and let them figure it out and let

2578
02:03:46,080 --> 02:03:48,720
Speaker 1: them and if they make some mistakes, yeah, Okay, they're

2579
02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:51,080
Speaker 1: smart guys and they're gonna learn from them. You ain't

2580
02:03:51,080 --> 02:03:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna you ain't gonna hire anybody else who's gonna come

2581
02:03:53,480 --> 02:03:56,080
Speaker 1: in here and never make a mistake that's gonna happen.

2582
02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:58,360
Speaker 1: You gotta let these guys figure it out and you

2583
02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:01,400
Speaker 1: can hold them accountable absolutely to do it. And pointed

2584
02:04:01,440 --> 02:04:02,960
Speaker 1: out to him and say, hey, this was a mistake.

2585
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:05,080
Speaker 1: That was a mistake. But I'll tell you what nobody

2586
02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:07,200
Speaker 1: else is gonna learn from the mistakes these guys made.

2587
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:09,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna bring somebody else gonna have to learn the

2588
02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:11,880
Speaker 1: same lessons or different lessons. These guys have got the

2589
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:14,440
Speaker 1: one side of the football figured out in spades. They

2590
02:04:14,560 --> 02:04:17,960
Speaker 1: got that thing down on the defensive side down, And

2591
02:04:18,240 --> 02:04:21,120
Speaker 1: I got yeah, yeah, yeah, do't let me go. But

2592
02:04:21,160 --> 02:04:26,280
Speaker 1: you're right, listen, this team, this team, and you've seen

2593
02:04:26,360 --> 02:04:30,560
Speaker 1: this too, Murph, this team, I think there's no question

2594
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:32,560
Speaker 1: it's not all going right for him. But I'm telling

2595
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:35,920
Speaker 1: you what, they're trying to do everything right, and some

2596
02:04:36,040 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: of it hasn't worked out, mostly because some of the

2597
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 1: players they got, Hey, they didn't, they weren't good. They

2598
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:42,120
Speaker 1: gotta get better, guys, they know it. They know it

2599
02:04:42,200 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 1: before we do. You gotta, you gotta. I've seen too

2600
02:04:47,440 --> 02:04:49,960
Speaker 1: many coaching staffs come through here not to be on

2601
02:04:50,080 --> 02:04:52,520
Speaker 1: board with this group. Here's the thing, and I'm not

2602
02:04:52,600 --> 02:04:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna go as long as you did. But I'm sorry.

2603
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:58,440
Speaker 1: That's okay. But I do think in people laugh and

2604
02:04:58,560 --> 02:05:00,640
Speaker 1: trust the process, especially when you lost three in a row.

2605
02:05:00,680 --> 02:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Trust the process. Huh, where's your process now? You know?

2606
02:05:03,280 --> 02:05:06,240
Speaker 1: The process is developing a rookie quarterback. It's on hold

2607
02:05:06,320 --> 02:05:09,120
Speaker 1: right now because the rookie quarterback, Josh Allen is injured.

2608
02:05:09,440 --> 02:05:11,400
Speaker 1: That is what the season is all about. That's why

2609
02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:14,839
Speaker 1: Tyrod was traded away to bring in a rookie quarterback

2610
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:17,120
Speaker 1: who they believe in, who has yet to prove himself.

2611
02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:18,960
Speaker 1: May or may not be the guy I think he

2612
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:21,200
Speaker 1: will be, but I can see why people would have questions.

2613
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:24,080
Speaker 1: That's what this season is all about. It's gonna be difficult.

2614
02:05:24,080 --> 02:05:26,200
Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult to remaining eight games. They

2615
02:05:26,280 --> 02:05:28,960
Speaker 1: have absolutely got to be better on offense than they've

2616
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:31,880
Speaker 1: been to the first eight games. Absolutely have to improve

2617
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:34,520
Speaker 1: on offense. But this is what trust the process is

2618
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 1: all about. It's about let's work in a rookie quarterback.

2619
02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:39,240
Speaker 1: And see what we get out of this guy. We've

2620
02:05:39,280 --> 02:05:41,720
Speaker 1: identified this guy, scouted this guy, we think he's the one.

2621
02:05:42,040 --> 02:05:44,680
Speaker 1: We have a good defense, we have serious holes on offense.

2622
02:05:45,040 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 1: That's what trust the process is all about. Nobody said

2623
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:49,800
Speaker 1: trust the process would be easy or fun, and it

2624
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:51,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been the last three weeks. And and he knew

2625
02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:53,760
Speaker 1: it was going to have setbacks as well. And this

2626
02:05:53,880 --> 02:05:56,440
Speaker 1: injury to Josh Allen's elbow is a setback, no question

2627
02:05:56,520 --> 02:05:58,520
Speaker 1: about it. It put him behind the eight ball in

2628
02:05:58,600 --> 02:06:03,280
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Because I think Josh's ability would

2629
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:04,920
Speaker 1: have overcome some of the things that have happened to

2630
02:06:05,040 --> 02:06:07,640
Speaker 1: him bad. I think, and plus not only his ability

2631
02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:10,440
Speaker 1: would have helped overcome some stuff. I think he's gonna

2632
02:06:10,480 --> 02:06:13,320
Speaker 1: get better. I think the guys he's the thing that

2633
02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:15,760
Speaker 1: keeps coming out, you know from behind the scenes, even

2634
02:06:15,800 --> 02:06:17,840
Speaker 1: in front of the scenes, that you hear about he's

2635
02:06:17,880 --> 02:06:20,720
Speaker 1: really smart. That gives me a lot of hope because

2636
02:06:20,760 --> 02:06:22,360
Speaker 1: even in my experience, and one of the things I

2637
02:06:22,440 --> 02:06:24,560
Speaker 1: noticed as a player and have noticed as a broadcaster

2638
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:29,360
Speaker 1: even more so, smart guys always get better. Smart guys

2639
02:06:29,400 --> 02:06:31,880
Speaker 1: always get better. And if you draft those guys, your

2640
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:33,600
Speaker 1: team's always going to be on the up swing, and

2641
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:36,720
Speaker 1: you know we gotta wait until he gets healthy. The

2642
02:06:36,800 --> 02:06:39,800
Speaker 1: Bill's injury report is out for today for Thursday. Two

2643

02:06:43,600 --> 02:06:47,040
Speaker 1: Alexander Kyle Williams. Both of them were limited today in practice.

2645
02:06:47,400 --> 02:06:49,800
Speaker 1: For others who did not practice yesterday with injuries, did

2646
02:06:49,840 --> 02:06:53,200
Speaker 1: not practice today, and that includes linebackerr Tremaine Edmonds with

2647

Speaker 1: his concussion. No practice for him today. No practice for

2648
02:06:56,120 --> 02:07:00,360
Speaker 1: a defensive end Trent Murphy with his knee injury. Practice

02:07:00,400 --> 02:07:03,880
Speaker 1: today for quarterback Derek Anderson in concussion protocol. No practice

Speaker 1: for quarterback Josh Allen with his right elbow injury. Time

2651
02:07:06,760 --> 02:07:09,879
Speaker 1: now for Coffee with a Coach, presented by Tim Horton's

2652
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Cafe and Bait Chap, the official coffee of the Buffalo Bills.

2653
02:07:13,080 --> 02:07:15,040
Speaker 1: Keep an eye and see if anyone touches their coffee

2654
02:07:15,040 --> 02:07:19,400
Speaker 1: on this week's edition of Coffee with the Coach. Hello, everybody,

2655
02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:21,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the week nine edition of Coffee with the Coach,

2656
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:24,440
Speaker 1: presented by Tim Hortons. I'm Chris Brown along with Bill's

2657
02:07:24,480 --> 02:07:26,760
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott. As the Bills are home to

2658
02:07:26,840 --> 02:07:29,960
Speaker 1: face the Chicago Bears on Sunday at one pm. Coach,

2659
02:07:30,040 --> 02:07:32,680
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. We heard from Lashawn McCoy

2660
02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:34,800
Speaker 1: after last week's game. He and the rest of the

2661
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:37,920
Speaker 1: offense clearly expect to be more productive than they've been

2662
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:41,400
Speaker 1: to this point. They put the time in to be better,

2663
02:07:41,520 --> 02:07:43,640
Speaker 1: as you well know, you're a practice every day, but

2664
02:07:43,760 --> 02:07:45,680
Speaker 1: the results just haven't been there. How do you keep

2665
02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:49,360
Speaker 1: their spirits up during a down period like this. Well,

2666
02:07:49,400 --> 02:07:52,080
Speaker 1: they're all competitive. That's kind of why we do what

2667
02:07:52,160 --> 02:07:55,320
Speaker 1: we do. We're all competitive and by nature and driven

2668
02:07:55,360 --> 02:07:57,280
Speaker 1: to be successful. And when you don't get through results,

2669
02:07:57,320 --> 02:08:00,240
Speaker 1: at least on the scoreboard, you get a little bit

2670
02:08:00,320 --> 02:08:03,040
Speaker 1: frustrated at times. I understand that what's important is that

2671
02:08:03,160 --> 02:08:05,520
Speaker 1: we continue to drive towards the results that we're trying

2672
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:08,360
Speaker 1: to get, and we are getting results. They're just not

2673
02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:10,560
Speaker 1: as consistent as we want them to be right now.

2674
02:08:10,880 --> 02:08:13,880
Speaker 1: Leshan even talked about maybe pressing at times, trying to

2675
02:08:13,960 --> 02:08:16,879
Speaker 1: do too much. How do you guard against players, particularly

2676
02:08:16,920 --> 02:08:19,000
Speaker 1: the ones with the ball in their hands, maybe trying

2677
02:08:19,040 --> 02:08:22,520
Speaker 1: to do too much instead of just their job. I

2678
02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:26,280
Speaker 1: have some experience with that. The great ones, as you've mentioned,

2679
02:08:26,840 --> 02:08:29,680
Speaker 1: try and do sometimes too much and instead of letting

2680
02:08:29,720 --> 02:08:32,360
Speaker 1: the game come to them. I worked with Brian Dawkins

2681
02:08:32,440 --> 02:08:34,720
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame safety in Philadelphia, and sometimes I

2682
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:36,840
Speaker 1: would have to remind Brian, hey, just let the game

2683
02:08:37,280 --> 02:08:40,480
Speaker 1: come to you. And usually it was in those games

2684
02:08:40,520 --> 02:08:42,200
Speaker 1: where he had his best games. And I think the

2685
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:44,320
Speaker 1: same thing for Leshaun and some of our other players.

2686
02:08:45,200 --> 02:08:46,720
Speaker 1: Once in a while you get a trust the players

2687
02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:48,920
Speaker 1: around you and let the game come to you. Time

2688
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:51,320
Speaker 1: now to take some inventory on the Bears, your upcoming

2689
02:08:51,320 --> 02:08:53,600
Speaker 1: opponent here. So give me a couple of words that

2690
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:55,840
Speaker 1: come to mind when I say the name to Rik Cohen,

2691
02:08:56,120 --> 02:08:58,640
Speaker 1: difference maker. He does everything for them. I mean it's

2692
02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 1: not just out of the back field, isn't running back.

2693
02:09:01,040 --> 02:09:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean they split him out. Why they put them

2694
02:09:02,560 --> 02:09:07,480
Speaker 1: all over the field? Does that compromise or complicate maybe

2695
02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:10,360
Speaker 1: the assignment of him, so to speak to either one

2696
02:09:10,480 --> 02:09:13,040
Speaker 1: or multiple people, right, it does. He's a weapon, you know,

2697
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: and they get him the ball in space and whether

2698
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:18,280
Speaker 1: it's from the backfield or out on the perimeter of

2699
02:09:18,360 --> 02:09:22,120
Speaker 1: the of the defense, and so art tackling has got

2700
02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:24,120
Speaker 1: to be top notch. We don't know if he'll play,

2701
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:28,560
Speaker 1: but Khalil Mack difference maker again. They've got again a

2702
02:09:28,600 --> 02:09:33,160
Speaker 1: talented roster, and I've seen an uptick in their defense

2703
02:09:33,320 --> 02:09:35,320
Speaker 1: this year. Now they've got a great defensive coordinator in

2704
02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:41,880
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, but usually one guy like Khalil Mack can

2705
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:46,000
Speaker 1: really raise the bar of the entire defense. And then

2706
02:09:46,240 --> 02:09:48,360
Speaker 1: a person that you're very familiar with from the Andy

2707
02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:53,200
Speaker 1: Reid coaching tree, Matt MACKI qualified good young coach. Matt

2708
02:09:53,200 --> 02:09:57,080
Speaker 1: and I spent our years together in Philadelphia there. It's

2709
02:09:57,120 --> 02:09:59,360
Speaker 1: been fun to watch him climb the ranks, and now

2710
02:09:59,560 --> 02:10:01,400
Speaker 1: to become the head coach of Chicago Barts, it would

2711
02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:03,600
Speaker 1: be an interesting chess match between you two this week.

2712
02:10:03,760 --> 02:10:05,760
Speaker 1: Thanks for the feedback there. Now it's time for our

2713
02:10:05,800 --> 02:10:08,080
Speaker 1: Fan Question of the Week, a chance for you the

2714
02:10:08,160 --> 02:10:11,040
Speaker 1: fan to ask coach a question. This week's question comes

2715
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:15,040
Speaker 1: from Jonathan on Twitter, who asks coach how far along

2716
02:10:15,320 --> 02:10:17,440
Speaker 1: is why a teller at this stage, fans really haven't

2717
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:18,920
Speaker 1: had a chance to see him on the field much

2718
02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:21,280
Speaker 1: through the regular season. They remember him from the preseason,

2719
02:10:21,280 --> 02:10:23,000
Speaker 1: the kind of curious where he's at? Yeah, you know why.

2720
02:10:23,040 --> 02:10:25,640
Speaker 1: It's off to a good start just midway through his

2721
02:10:25,760 --> 02:10:29,160
Speaker 1: rookie season. Much like a lot of our rookies continues

2722
02:10:29,200 --> 02:10:32,200
Speaker 1: to learn every week through practice reps and then game reps.

2723
02:10:32,200 --> 02:10:34,520
Speaker 1: In this case, he has not had any game reps,

2724
02:10:34,560 --> 02:10:38,720
Speaker 1: so he learns a lot by watching the film or

2725
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:41,320
Speaker 1: watching from the sideline and getting the communication that it's

2726
02:10:41,360 --> 02:10:44,600
Speaker 1: going on on the sideline with our players that are playing.

2727
02:10:44,720 --> 02:10:48,040
Speaker 1: So all of this is part of his development. And

2728
02:10:48,160 --> 02:10:50,440
Speaker 1: then there's a development that takes place off the field

2729
02:10:50,480 --> 02:10:56,080
Speaker 1: in terms of what our player engagement coordinator does and

2730
02:10:56,200 --> 02:10:59,040
Speaker 1: Marlon Kerner with our young players off the field and

2731
02:10:59,080 --> 02:11:02,480
Speaker 1: developing life skill, and so he can wyat Inness case

2732
02:11:02,560 --> 02:11:05,920
Speaker 1: continues to grow much like the rest of our rookie class.

2733
02:11:06,240 --> 02:11:08,120
Speaker 1: All Right, very good, thanks for the input, coach. Good

2734
02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:10,000
Speaker 1: luck getting a home win this week. Yeah, thanks Chris.

2735
02:11:10,080 --> 02:11:12,440
Speaker 1: All right. That's Bill's head coach, Sean McDermott. This has

Speaker 1: One Maybe Steve has another rant left in him. Come

2742
02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:29,400
Speaker 1: on back and find out One Bills one of Bill's

2743
02:11:29,440 --> 02:11:46,720
Speaker 1: life from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio. Okay,

2744
02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:48,960
Speaker 1: good question today. What have we learned from today's show?

2745
02:11:49,360 --> 02:11:53,200
Speaker 1: It is presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's

2746
02:11:53,200 --> 02:11:55,960
Speaker 1: homes and businesses with the finest and security and home theater.

2747
02:11:56,040 --> 02:11:59,480
Speaker 1: They preferred Alarm and Home theater provider all the Buffalo Bills.

2748
02:11:59,480 --> 02:12:01,400
Speaker 1: I think we a little bit today, don't you? What

2749
02:12:01,520 --> 02:12:03,240
Speaker 1: have we learned? We had Tom Thayer on, He's the

2750
02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:06,720
Speaker 1: color analyst on the Chicago Bears Radio network, longtime Bears

2751
02:12:06,800 --> 02:12:09,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. We talked to Tom Thayer about Mitche Trubiski

2752
02:12:09,800 --> 02:12:11,800
Speaker 1: and how often the Bears run the football with the

2753
02:12:11,880 --> 02:12:16,360
Speaker 1: quarterback Trubisky. They always want to have the concerned in

2754
02:12:16,440 --> 02:12:18,760
Speaker 1: the mind of the opponent. You know, in the last

2755
02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:21,320
Speaker 1: couple of years when they faced eight man fronts and

2756
02:12:21,400 --> 02:12:23,440
Speaker 1: they tried to run to a direct point of attack,

2757
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:26,520
Speaker 1: it really limited the success of the run game. If

2758
02:12:26,560 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at the Jets game

2759
02:12:28,560 --> 02:12:31,600
Speaker 1: last week, and it's different than the defense that Buffalo

2760
02:12:31,720 --> 02:12:35,920
Speaker 1: shows that Mitchell Chrubisky is either able to hold backside

2761
02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 1: rushers or take advantage of their overpursued and run the ball.

2762
02:12:40,080 --> 02:12:43,600
Speaker 1: So just keeping that in the mind of Bears opponents

2763
02:12:43,600 --> 02:12:46,160
Speaker 1: as fresh because you know, in the history of the organization,

2764
02:12:46,600 --> 02:12:48,760
Speaker 1: it's the first time I ever went to training camp

2765
02:12:48,840 --> 02:12:51,680
Speaker 1: and I didn't see the quarterbacks repeatedly do three to

2766
02:12:51,720 --> 02:12:56,040
Speaker 1: five and seven step drops. Everything here was shotgun RPO

2767
02:12:56,480 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 1: a little bit underneath the center. So it's really changed

2768
02:12:59,480 --> 02:13:02,400
Speaker 1: the whole thing for the offense. Were an interesting offense, Steve,

2769
02:13:02,440 --> 02:13:04,600
Speaker 1: I'd noticed that last night. I'll watch more video tonight.

2770
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:06,920
Speaker 1: We'll talk with Greg Cozell about the Bears offense tomorrow

2771
02:13:06,960 --> 02:13:09,640
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, he'll have some Friday already. Yeah, I

2772
02:13:09,800 --> 02:13:11,520
Speaker 1: believe it. Yeah, well, you know the Monday night game

2773
02:13:11,600 --> 02:13:14,400
Speaker 1: kind of what we actually did a show on Monday. Anyway,

2774
02:13:14,440 --> 02:13:17,200
Speaker 1: it was different. All right, we'll talk tomorrow more about

2775
02:13:17,200 --> 02:13:18,960
Speaker 1: the Bears in the Bills tomorrow. I want to thank
