1
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: fields kind of unique. He was kind of a dual

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: role player for you see at Steve a blimp. We're

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: not even in the strated beer of normalcy, all right, babe.

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: It is the day before Thanksgiving. It is a Wednesday

6
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: edition of One Bills Live. But the stomach is allready grumbling.

7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: We are in full blown feast mode. Chris Brown, Steve

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: Tasker here with you, and we even have the T

9
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: shirts to prove it. The Dion Dawkins' latest fan box

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: edition shirts are on our persons and they say feast

11
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: mode in the spirit of things. Do you have the

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: T shirt on like it's traditionally worn. I have my

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: my quarter zip sweatshirt underneath mine because I am freezing.

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: Are you I got it's a rate? It looks like

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: it's because I got a black the shirt is black

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: ring on it. I kind of like what it looks

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: on camera, though, Yeah, kind you're looking buff well, they

18
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: say on every Now. I think you know I've I've

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: only done this show with you for a few months now,

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: but we have done various media things here for the

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. We're probably going on about ten eleven years together. Yeah,

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: and I think I am right in describing you like

23
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: me as a foodie. Would you call yourself a foodie? Well,

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I s in every human being a

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: food Let me say this, I mean there are people

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: who eat to live, I live to eat. Which category

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: are you with? Well, I, yeah, I eat, you live

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: to eat? I would you live to eat? So you're so,

29
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: I think that qualifies you as a foodie. And there

30
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: are certain shall we say dues and don't to Thanksgiving? Yes,

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: there are which I would go along. I would that's

32
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: safe to say. Yes, yes, that knee to be adhered

33
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. So while everyone is adhering to

34
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: all of the COVID guidelines and the parties are significantly

35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: reduced in number in most cases to just immediate household families, right,

36
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: we have to go over some ground rules here in

37
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: terms of what is appropriate and what is not, because

38
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: I think with extended family not in the home, people

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: are going to be taking a few extra liberties. And

40
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: we've seen this alone in the zoom world of COVID

41
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: in which we have seen I mean they even have

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: commercials now where a guy's walking into what he thinks

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: is a zoom meeting with his wife and some neighbors,

44
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: and the neighbors are on the back patio and he's

45
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: standing there in his jockey saying, I thought it was

46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: on zoom. I'm sorry, I thought this was zoom. Yeah,

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I like that. But yeah, I

48
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: think some extra liberties are going aren't going to be

49
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: taking this Thanksgiving it's different. There's no question you got

50
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: other just yeah. So I you know, here's the thing

51
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: to me, And I think this is one of the

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: biggest debates out there because it's been brought up to

53
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: me probably three times in the last week and a

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: half riding into Thanksgiving. Here Steve gravy. Okay, I think

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: most people would agree it is a necessary staple of Thanksgiving.

56
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: But I think people look at it in two very

57
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: contrasting ways. And I think we need to discuss this

58
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: because I think some people only see gravy as a

59
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: masking agent. For example, Okay, turkey's a little dry. I'm

60
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: heaping on the gravy to make it more palatable. Maybe

61
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: not to the degree that we saw on Christmas vacation

62
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: when people are gnawing on leather. It seemed after the

63
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: turkey imploded. But I think they use that and say,

64
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm just going to use this to cover up what

65
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't like right now, So they see it as

66
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: a masking agent, where in my opinion, gravy is is

67
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: a game. Raisor it raises the level of the stuff

68
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: that you're eating. Gravey is an enhancer. Gravy is an adjective. Man,

69
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: It's like, that's gravy, baby. It's it's a huge enhancement.

70
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: It's a It's right. It's not a mask now, I

71
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: will admit that. Certainly it does it. You know, it

72
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: can be used as a masking age, but on Thanksgiving

73
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty near a staple. Yeah. And it raises the

74
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: level of the mashed potatoes, raises the level of the stuffing.

75
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: It's a great catalyst. That's it. Gravy is a catalyst,

76
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: a great catalyst. It is not a masking age. Two

77
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: people arguing with me saying, oh, no, you use gravy

78
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: to cover up the stuff that's that's not tasting as

79
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: you as well as you had hoped as well, here's

80
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the thing and that, And I said to them, well,

81
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: aren't you doing what I'm telling you? Graving is you're

82
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: making it better. Yeah, it's uh. And that brings us

83
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: to another issue with with food, Like, you know what

84
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: your philosophy is on how you fill your plate first

85
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: time through and what you do. And I've always been

86
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: a fan of particular and it's different now when you're

87
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: when you're at home with mom and your mom knows

88
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: what you like. You don't have to put any airs.

89
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't have to take what I don't like at

90
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: my mom's house. It's not insulting anybody. I'm not out

91
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: of respect. If you're somebody else's house out of respect.

92
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: You take a little bit of everything. It's sampling and

93
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: there's some maybe some new stuff that's like, hey, that's

94
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. Now, then you go back and you you

95
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: weed out what is not good and you only get

96
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, your second plate, you get you fill it

97
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: up with what's really good, what you really like. That's

98
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: my philosophy. But that is also has to do with

99
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, in the old days when we could go

100
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: have it with the entire family and everybody comes in

101
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: from out of town and mom's cooking and she knows

102
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: what your favorites are, so you don't have to really

103
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: apologize for not liking whatever. Yeah, I really, I'm just

104
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: putting on my plate what I like. Yeah. Now even

105
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: if like if you got invited to a Thanksgiving someplace else,

106
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that or I'm just gonna say, the

107
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: holidays that I like the most are the ones that

108
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: involved no gift giving. I don't want any part of that.

109
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: As I said, I am, I am a foodie. So

110
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: my two favorite holidays are Thanksgiving and Fourth of July

111
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: barbecues and turkey. That's the peak for me. So I'm

112
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: not worried about insalting anybody. This is my plate, this

113
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: is what I'm eating. I thank you all for whatever

114
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: you made, and I you know, I try to contribute

115
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: when I can, but I thank you all for what

116
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: you've contributed to this meal. But I am loading up

117
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: on the stuff that I like. Yeah, and you know,

118
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm everybody's got their preferences. That to me is totally valid.

119
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: The kids never the kids, are they putting stuff they

120
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: don't like on their plate? Hell no, Well the little

121
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: ones up anyway. But by that time, I'm like, I

122
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: become like my parents. I know, my grandkids. He's not

123
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna eat that and he's not gonna eat that, and

124
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: he's not gonna eat that. I will, so he doesn't

125
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: get any it's more for me. Yeah, grandpa's Grandpa's pulling rank.

126
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I get it. And you're right. I think

127
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: on a on a for a feast. Yeah, you're feasting, man,

128
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: You're you eat what you want. I'm that's the way

129
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm going. And you know, I used to be a

130
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: second plate guy, but you know, the metabolism doesn't quite

131
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: move as quickly as it used to. Yeah, yeah, I'm so.

132
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: I kind of shy away from the second plate because

133
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know, desserts on on the horizon, So

134
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to go out too hard and then

135
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: end up in a trip to fan food coma. What's

136
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: your favors? Can't even happen? What's your philosophy about that day? Now?

137
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna sit down and eat dinner and

138
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: and sometimes and dinner's usually an early supper, you know,

139
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: an early you know, like it's you're gonna eat it

140
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: four two somebody late lunch supper, kind of middle afternoon

141
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: dish kind of right. Okay, Now, what's your philosophy after

142
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: you sit down and eat and everybody. You kind of

143
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: get it from the table. Is it it's like open

144
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: but it's a buffet all all day? Or is it

145
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: there's there's a clear line of demarcation between Thanksgiving dinner

146
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: and dessert. I mean, you got the time out. You

147
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: gotta step away. Yeah, you gotta call it time out.

148
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: I get that, Get a t o and you know,

149
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: if it's a nice day, maybe you even go for

150
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of a walk off, a little turkey

151
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: bowl or something. You know, you go outside and throw

152
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: the football around, you know, do something to work it up, right.

153
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of of the mind for me, um that. Yeah,

154
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I just keep grazing wow all afternoon, head down, and

155
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: you're just going you know, but you know, you're just games.

156
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm picking, and I'm going in and I'm cherry picking.

157
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing this, and I'll try this and that and

158
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: you know whatever. Um, and I'll go until if there's something,

159
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: particularly in a situation where you've got something that's really

160
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: good and there's tends to be in there's a lot

161
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: of it, you'll just go back and wear it out. Yeah,

162
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: you just go back and wear it out until you

163
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: just you know, you really do have to step away then,

164
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: but you know, and I'm are you a go work it?

165
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,960

Speaker 1: just like whoa. And but you don't want to go

170
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: down because then you wake up. It's like a thirty

Speaker 1: sleep that night. You know, if you get you get

174
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: a two and a half hour nap at about six o'clock,

175
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna you're done. So what our family

176
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: is doing is we are doing a everybody pitching in

177
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a progressive. We're doing the Thanksgiving

178
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: drive drive by. Oh yeah, my mother in law is

179
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: in charge of the turkey. We're in charge of a

180
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: couple of the sides, sister in law's family, some sides,

181
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: and then everybody's kind of on their own for dessert.

182
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: You got to get your own desserts, right, But we've

183
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: got two and so we got to stop at like

184
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: three and four houses to get your feast. Yeah, you

185
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: basically show up with your tupperware, they put your portions

186
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: in that way, you get to see everybody and then

187
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: you're on your married way to the next house, bring

188
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: it all back to your house and show down. That's

189
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: that's kind of how we're setting it up this year

190
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: in this COVID pandemic that we're operating in right, so

191
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: where we'll see how it works. I'm very excited about

192
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: the fact that there's only gonna be four people in

193
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: my house and we have three pies. Three pis get

194
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: you get a third or you get you get a

195
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: quarter of each pot. I could potentially, yes, if if

196
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: I play my cards right and leave enough room and

197
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: don't get out of control with the weakness is the

198
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: stuffing because three quarters of a pie? Well no, I yeah,

199
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: that's probably not a good idea. The trouble, I know.

200
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: The trouble here is there are three pies. Okay, Pumpkin,

201
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: believe it or not, is probably my least favorite of

202
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: these three. So we got a Dutch it it's a

203
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: seasonal thing for me. Yeah, we've got a Dutch apple,

204
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: a pumpkin pie apple. That sounds intriguing. It's got the

205
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: crumblies on tipe and now is it? Was it bought

206
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: or homemade? Oh? Yeah? Well, as when you start talking

207
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: about Dutch apple, the first thing I'm gonna say is,

208
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm not bad at cooking, and my wife's a really

209
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: good cook. You know, when you're both working full time

210
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: and you're trying, you know what I mean, trying to

211
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: make it happen. So my wife's people ask my wife

212
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: sometimes when she brings something like that over, they say, oh,

213
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: did you make that? She goes, I made it happen. Yeah, right,

214
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: so we made it happen, Marie Callendar. I swiped the card. Yeah,

215
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Marie Callendar made it happen. And so we've got Dutch

216
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: apple pumpkin and then we went with a cherry pie

217
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: this year. I know my son's a fan of that,

218
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: so um, he sees three pies in the freezer and

219
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: he he knows that my daughter's big on apple pie

220
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: and that my wife's on I think she likes pumpkin

221
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: pie and I'm good on apple. So he's thinking he's

222
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: got the cherry pie all to himself. And I said, oh,

223
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be trying something. He's like, whoa, whoa wait

224
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: a second. I was like, what do you mean, Wait

225
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: a second, you're not eating a whole pie. Here's gonna

226
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: be four people in the house. What are you worried about?

227
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: He was worried that thing's gonna like that much start

228
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: diving up the pie. Yeah, that the pie thing is good.

229
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: Whenever you start saying Dutch apple, well you need vanilla

230
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: ice cream with that. And that's another thing that you

231
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: gotta save space four So that makes it tougher when

232
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: you got that many pie choices. Yeah, yeah, it's all. Yeah,

233
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: it's almost I mean, I guess that's what a feast is.

234
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like too much of everything. But this,

235
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: whenever you start delinea it's not just an apple pie,

236
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: it's a Dutch apple pie. To me, that turns into

237
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: a retail outlet. And you know you're gonna go retail

238
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: for the Dutch apple pie. Yeah, you know, because and

239
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: let you know, and I'm fine with that, right I

240
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: am too. Cherry pie is great, But I'm always an

241
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: alamode guy as well. If you can, if you can

242
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: make it happen. But you're going to warm the pot

243
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: apple pie, I gotta admit it to There's a couple

244
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: of pies that I have really in my older age,

245
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: I've come around too that I that I will like

246
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: go out of my way for one is banana cream. Oh, yep,

247
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: you're speaking. The other one. The other one's key lime. Yeah,

248
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: I am. I am an enormous key lime guy. Uh.

249
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: And it's interesting too because I've started to see more

250
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: key lime on holidays up could You always see it

251
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: in Florida down down the South all the time time

252
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: you get down there, they got stores that sell it,

253
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: and only that right, that's it's like an ice cream store.

254
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: It's a key lime pie store. So you get that

255
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: down But now up here, I'm starting to see it

256
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: like at Thanksgivings and Christmas feasts and stuff like that.

257
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: Another holiday feast, more key lime. It's because it's unique

258
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: and an underrated pie if it's made right. Is blueberry?

259
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: It's very underrated. Here's the thing. But it's tough to

260
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: get a really good one. Yeah, well, blueberries are seasonal

261
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: because there's a variance there that you know, you can't mess.

262
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I mean there's too much variation in

263
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: fin and trying to land a really good You're right,

264
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: there's there's too much margin for very But I'll go

265
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: out on limb and say this, I would be hard

266
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: pressed to find any pie if it's done right that

267
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: is not fantastic. You're not a discriminating I've tasted. I've

268
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: tasted all kinds. I've tasted pies I didn't like that much,

269
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: But I've tasted pies of the same variety that we're

270
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: off the charts. Yeah, you know what I meaning. So

271
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: you get, you know, it's that kind of thing. Sometimes

272
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: it has to do with the you know, the cook

273
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: in the kitchen obviously, and the ingredients obviously, but when

274
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: you get I'd be hard pressed to name a pie

275
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: that I have not had that wasn't fantastic at some point. Yeah, see,

276
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm not on the line. It's something like rhubarb I

277
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: can't get there. Oh I've been strawberry ruebarb. Is it good? Yeah?

278
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: Sweet tart kind of Oh my guys like candy baby.

279
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know I could get there. Yeah, a rough

280
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: one for me. It's it's not just rhubarb pie, though's

281
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: strawberry ruebarb. For me. I don't think I've ever had

282
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: just a plane rhubarb pie, but strawberry ruebarb that's where

283
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: it's at. Okay, yeah, that I'll take your word. I

284
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: have some warm fuzzies in my in my youth from strawberry.

285
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: That was because I grew up in in Candya. Yeah,

286
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: it's kind last thing because we also have a feast

287
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: of a show that we have to get to, which

288
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: we'll talk about in a minute. But is there anything

289
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: because I'm you know, you mentioned the key lime thing

290
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: being popular down south, are there any regional things you know,

291
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: in the nation's bread basket that's on a Thanksgiving table

292
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: that may not be as readily available here, you know,

293
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: on the East coast. You know that's interesting. I don't

294
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: think so. I don't think so. It's pretty running. It's

295
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: pretty one of the things they do out well, I'm

00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: the cob, yeah it is, but they it it. But

303
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: it's south and it's you know, the corn. They obviously

304
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: the little harvest of corn in July, you know, I

305
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: mean octobertober Um. So yeah, there's a little bit of that.

306
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: But that's pretty good. All the stuff that you grow

307
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: out of the field, particularly the bread like pie crusts, um,

308
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: croissant rolls, dinner dinner rolls, just a plain old fash

309
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: cleaning up in that category. Yeah, and butter they got

310
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: these big cows, you know, cow thing. And I also

311
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: think I also think your ethnicity and your heritage kind

312
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: of comes into play. Two people put their own ethnic

313
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: spin on Thanksgiving. I grew up with an Italian mother.

314
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: My wife's one hundred percent Italian, and they and us

315
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: both have an Italian course. Oh for Thanksgiving. Yeah, what's

316
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: your Italian course? It's lasagna. Yeah, okay, that's the thing.

317
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: I've heard you come in going crazy. Your lasagna, your

318
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: house really good. But that is a lead up, which

319
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: can be you got to play your cards, right, See,

320
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: that's your thing, that's your ow. Huge that's a huge

321
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: mental erica. Yeah, when you go in heavy on the

322
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: first thing, and even if it's good, we do that

323
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: at Thanksgiving. We do it at Christmas as well. It's

324
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: a precursor to the main that's a heritage right there.

325
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: It's a family here. Yeah, and it's I mean it's

326
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: your kids will be making lasagna, yeah, you know. And

327
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: the other Italian, big Italian thing is fish on Christmas Eve.

328
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: You always have fished dinner on Christmas Eve. I can't

329
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: remember why, so I'm sure my mom will get mad

330
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: at me for not remembering why. But it's always fish

331
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve. It's some kind of saint thing that's

332
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: going on some man. It's one of you know, one

333
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: of this. I was too busy in the fish, I

334
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: don't know. But yeah, so it's I mean, I don't know.

335
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: This is this is one of the highlights for me,

336
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: these food oriented holidays. Well there's this Thanksgiving Fourth of

337
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: July barbecu. Yeah, and I like it too. You're right,

338
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: the fourth of July is a completely different animal food

339
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: wise then, right, as intricate, it's not nearly as intricate

340
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: and complex, but it's you're outside, it's good weather, it's

341
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's all of that. How

342
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: formal is your Thanksgiving sit down? Is it a sit

343
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: down or is it just a kind of buffet things

344
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: in front of the game. My wife's got a large family,

345
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: so we're talking. Well, so we're talking when everybody's in

346
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: the same house, which won't be the case this year obviously,

347
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: but I mean it's upwards of and there's people coming

348
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: in and out. You know, they have to visit in laws,

349
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: so they're only there for a couple of hours. But

350
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, peak capacity, you're talking upwards of thirty people, right,

351
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's just so you're eating where you can

352
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: be the same boat. I got to imagine now, especially

353
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: with kids all married and well, yeah we've got we've

354
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: got three married, we've got six grandkids, and you're going

355
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: to be very soon. Yeah. And then then of course

356
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: we have two sets of local in laws and you

357
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: know right, yeah, so they come in and then yeah,

358
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: I get you so big and so is it's for you?

359
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 1: They try to do the long table, So you do

360
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: try to table that extends off the dining room into

361
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: the living room, like folding tables and tables. Yeah, so

362
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: do you you do have one attempt at least a

363
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: one big table set. There might be a kid's table

364
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: somewhere else, but into a large degree, yes, the same

365
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: thing with us. We've got a table that that seats ten, yeah, adults,

366
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: but you know, now we're you know that's not it's

367
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: not right. So it'll probably be a kid's table or something.

368
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, and even now the kids are too little

369
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: to be you know, trusted, yeah, eating, So yeah, that's

370
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: another that's another Italian that's interesting. Over to your your

371
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: grandmother's house for Sunday sauce and you're coming from church

372
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: and you're they got you stripped down to your undershirt, right,

373
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: because they don't trust you with your with your Sunday

374
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: best on eating pasta and whatever else. I mean, there's

375
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: there's pictures of me and cousins at the kids table,

376
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: which is your underwear, which is a four seat card table,

377
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: and there I am in my undershirt with a meat

378
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: ball on my fort It's ridiculous. But what are we doing? Right?

379
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: So that that's the thing though? Is it about the food?

380
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: So you just show up, eat, you go out and

381
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: sit in front of the tape TV. What's the game

382
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: or and it is you know, it's still a really

383
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: it's a you know, it's kind of a relaxed feat.

384
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: Everybody knows you're gonna sit down but then also there's

385
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: a tind too where you kind of you gotta sport

386
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: coat on and slacks and and everybody's sitting down and

387
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, you're passing the food and instead of getting

388
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: up getting it and coming back to the table kind

389
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, I mean, they'll still be like little

390
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: things to pick at on the coffee table in the

391
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: television room while you're watching the game and stuff, and

392
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: people get up and help themselves to a beverage, you know,

393
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: through the course of the right. And we've done it

394
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: all all of those ways at our house because of

395
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: whatever group ended up coming that if we have, you know,

396
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: and out of town group that's in and stuff, or

397
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: if it's just too big or too much and how

398
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: many kids and how many adults and what the ratio is.

399
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I get it, but I'm it is about

400
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: the food. And I you know, once you start eating

401
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day, I'm one of those guys I kind

402
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: of don't stop. I just go. So do you skip breakfast?

403
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: You pretty much fast before the whole thing. That's the

404
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: way to go. I usually have a little something for

405
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: breakfast and then no lunch out. Here's the thing. Here's

406
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: because I'll get angry, and you don't want to go it. Yeah,

407
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: you don't want to be angry when you're like a

408
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: half hour before things, because then you go ford press

409
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: on the buffet line and then in an hour you're

410
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: just like right. But also, I'm starting to snap at people,

411
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, and Thanksgiving, anyone, you are a foodie, you

412
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: cannot get that angry on Thanksgiving and not your foodie

413
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: you are. I'm officially stamped. I'm yeah, particularly at this

414
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: at my station in life, when I'm kind of the

415
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: patriarch of the of the whole clan, shown up the

416
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: house and I start snapping at people. Yeah, that's that's

417
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: not a good look. It's not good. That's so grazing

418
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: is probably the best way for you to go, I think. Um.

419
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: As we mentioned a feast of a show today coming

420
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: up in oh about twenty minutes time, we'll check in

421
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: with our colleague Maddi Glab along the sidelines at practice

422
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: to get an update as to who is practicing who

423
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: is not practicing. Obviously, one guy that will be front

424
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: and center in that department will be John Brown, who

425
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: was not out there yesterday. So we hope to get

426
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: an update on him. Then at the top of the hour,

427
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: about a little over forty minutes time, we will have

428
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: chargers GM Tom Talsco also a Hamburg, New York native,

429
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: so we'll get we'll see if he's got some some

430
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: plans lined up to catch up. I think his dad

431
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: still lives here in western New York, so if he

432
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: can catch up with him for you know, a belated

433
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving on the weekend there in some way, shape or form,

434
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: although with COVID who knows, and find out just how

435
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: he landed on Justin Herbert in the draft with the

436
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: sixth overall pick. I mean two was already off the board,

437
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: Burrows already off the board, and Herbert goes at six

438
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: because to LESCo picked him there. So I'd love we're

439
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: going to run through his pre draft process in nailing

440
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: down Herbert as the guy, along with how they're making

441
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: their way through this first season in that new Sofi

442
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: stadium out there, the facility they share with the Rams,

443
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: and how that's all going after a couple of years

444
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: in an MLS soccer stadium that's seated only about twenty

445
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: four thousand, that had to be an adjustment in and

446
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: of itself. And then in the final hour of the show,

447
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: a little bit about a little over, a little under

448
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: two and a half hours, we'll get ahold of Daniel

449
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: Jeremiah from NFL Network. He also does color commentary on

450
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers radio network, so he has seen every single

451
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: game that Herbert has played. So it'll be interesting to

452
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: get his perspective, knowing he himself was a former college quarterback,

453
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: just to see what he thinks of Herbert his ceiling,

454
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: maybe some parallels to Josh Allen's game, because I see

455
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: them just with the untrained eye. I'm curious if he

456
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: sees the same things as well. So Daniel Jeremiah coming

457
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: up in the last hour of the program, about an

458
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: hour and a half from now. So got a chock

459
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,480

Speaker 1: we can get to the next segment to get the

461
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: mat So we do have to take a break. When

462
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll hit you with the Twitter poll

463
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,320

Speaker 1: Bills prime time schedule. So we'll get to that when

Speaker 1: more here on a Wednesday edition to the show. We

483
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: also have the Twitter poll which, as I mentioned, and

484
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: some people may not look that far ahead on the

485
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 1: schedule to maybe even take note of this, but with

486
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: six games to play, Sunday is the last one PM

487
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: Sunday game on the Bills schedule. It's the last one

488
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: um the league announced yesterday that the Bill's Week fifteen

489
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: game against the Denver Broncos will be played on Saturday,

490
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: December nineteenth. Is that right? I think I have that right. Um,

491
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: let me pull up this December nineteenth. Yes, Saturday December nineteenth,

492
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: thirty kick there, So that'll be a late afternoon game.

493
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: So there's there's that. But oh, by the way, there's

494
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: a primetime game after this one Monday night in San Francisco,

495
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: the following week Sunday night home against the Steelers, the

496
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon game against Denver, and then back on Monday

497
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: night against New England before they before they play a

498
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: one pm er in the season finale. So the one

499
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: pmer is the last. Here's the thing. If Miami Week

500
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: seventeen keeps playing well or whatever, if that game against Miami,

501
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: that'll get flexed. So yeah, if it if Yeah, there's

502
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: that right. But with that in mind, we are asking

503
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: you at eight oh three five fifty one, eight eight

504
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: five fifty two, five fifty and on the tweet sheet,

505
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the Bill's upcoming primetime schedule?

506
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: A too manny, I like Sunday at one pm. B

507
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: love it. We deserve the spotlight or see, eh, doesn't

508
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: really matter if I can attend the games anyway, So

509
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: let us know where you come down on that one.

510
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. I kind of like it. I

511
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: know some people over the last several years, Bills fans,

512
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, over the last several years, sometimes cringe about

513
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: being on the national stage because the Bills historically have

514
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: not performed well there do in hard to the fact

515
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: that a lot of those primetime games in recent years

516
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: have been against the Patriots, right, a lot of them,

517
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: a lot of them. And then you have the sprinkled

518
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: in Dallas game where they turned it over. You know,

519
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: they were up right and the Dallas Dallas gets on side,

520
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: wins it with a field goal. All of that, and

521
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: so it people are fragile, right, and they think that

522
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: if the Bills, you know, they have there's a chance

523
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: the Bills could embarrass themselves again and then go back

524
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: into Sunday at one purgatory forever again they'll never get

525
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: a primetime game. But I will say, you know, last

526
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: year they win the Sunday night game in Pittsburgh, So

527
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: that was a win in primetime. Granted it was a

528
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: little nip and tuck there, for a while, but you

529
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: know they win the game in the end, you know,

530
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: big touchdown drive fourth quarter and they won. That's Thanksgiving

531
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: the they won the Thanksgiving Day game against Dallas, which

532
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody else in the country thought

533
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: they were winning that game. Everybody had Dallas eight ways

534
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: to Thursday right on that one, and they won that one.

535
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: So I understand the Chiefs game didn't go as anybody

536
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: had hoped. But you're talking about the defending Super Bowl champs.

537
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: And when you play teams in prime time, you're usually

538
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: playing a good team, right, that's the unless you're the Patriots.

539
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: Why you're in prime right, Yeah, yeah, and yeah, the

540
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: and the the Chiefs game rainstorm. And I'm not saying

541
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: it for nothing. I the Bills this just in I mean,

542
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: like every other team, and I think this it's exaggerated

543
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: with this Bill's team. They played better in good in

544
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: good conditions because they throw it everywhere. They don't run it.

545
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,239
Speaker 1: They're not a grinding, grind it out offensive team. They

546
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: want to air it out weather it looks good for Sunday.

547
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: And the Chiefs game was a steady downpour and it's stunk.

548
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: So there's that I'm yeah, I'm kind of up for

549
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: these primetime games, although I'll be you know, we'll be working.

550
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: Kind of crushes me for a night's sleep, But does

551
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: everybody right, everybody else too? You're setting the bar very

552
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: low for the show on Tuesday here, Is that what

553
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: you're telling me? Jo, I'm laying some groundwork, so yeah,

554
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: but you know that's where we're at. There's Monday night games.

555
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: They started like kickoff at like eight twenty. It's a

556
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: midnight to ye for us to get off the air,

557
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: and then M and I have worked after the game too. Yeah,

558
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: my night's probably even later than you or you're busier

559
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: during the game. I'm probably a little busier after the game. Yeah. Um,

560
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: either way, nobody but I'm up for That's just part

561
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: of the deal. I think it's good to sign up.

562
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons I'm up for

563
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: it this year is because I got a lot of

564
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: confidence in how well these guys are gonna play. Yeah,

565
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean they're gonna win all these games

566
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna go for six and O and all that.

567
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you that they're not gonna They're gonna

568
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good game. The Bills are hard

569
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: to beat, and I think it's gonna be a really

570
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: good game, but all of them will be. That San

571
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: fran game has a much different complexion now in light

572
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: of the state of the Niners roster. Starting quarterback out,

573
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: game breaking tight end probably still out, and two of

574
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: their starting defensive linemen, including their best pass rusher, Nick Bosa,

575
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: out for the year mostarts out. They're running back. Yeah,

576
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: he may be coming back. Kevin Coleman might be coming back,

577
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: but that's still a couple of weeks off. So we'll

578
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: see how that picture comes into focus next week after

579
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: this one coming up here against the Chargers, a Chargers

580
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: team that you know, finally got off the schneide and

581
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: got a win last week against the Jets, even though

582
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: they did let New York climb back into it a

583
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: little bit. So be interesting to see. And I mistakenly

584
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: said yesterday that they played at the Jets. They were

585
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: at Sofi Stadium last week. They were playing at home.

586
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: They were not. They don't have two back to back

587
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: cross country trips. They were in La this past Sunday.

588
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: I know I made that mistake. Yesterday I went back

589
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: and listen, I said, did I have that wrong? I

590
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: said that son of a gun? I did. I went

591
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: back and listened to it. We have to take a

592
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: break because we need to let our fine sponsors get

593
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: their words in so we can get Maddie Glab's words

594
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: in on what's going on at practice in about five

595
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: minutes time. So we'll step aside here, but when we

596
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: come back, we'll check in with Maddie and see who's

597
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: up and running at Wednesday practice for the Bills in

598
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: advance of their Week twelve game against the Chargers. It's

599
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: one Bill's Line presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo

600
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: Bills Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, One Bills Live. Time

601
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: to waste no time. We go right out to the

602
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: sidelines on the practice field about fifty yards away from us,

603
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: where our colleague Maddie Glab is stationed to provide us

604
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: with the latest and the greatest and hopefully there's more

605
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: good news and encouraging news on the injury or front

606
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: for the Bills as they get set to face the Chargers. So, Maddie,

607
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: why don't you lead us off with a guy that

608
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: is still working his way back from injury Number fifty eight.

609
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you guys want to start off with

610
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: the good news or the news first looks like we're

611
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna start off with the good news. So the good

612
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: news is we've got a Matt Milano siding today. This

613
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: is things that we should be pumped up excited about.

614
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: He is not in a jersey, he is not practicing,

615
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: but he is off to the side right now kind

616
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: of going through some ladder drills, some footwork things like

617
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: that with the strength staff. So I think he's over

618
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: there with Tyrold Dodson, So those two are getting some

619
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: work in off to the side, which is definitely good

620
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: to hear. Matt Molano still on the IR and coach

621
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: McDermott said about Matt Milano today that they're just taking

622
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: it day by day, but he is working his tail

623
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: off to get back. So that's an't good news for

624
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: today right And just to remind fans, he's not than

625
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: I and he cannot play this week because this would

626
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: be the third game you have to miss a minimum

627
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: of three games when you go on IR under the

628
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: new rules this year, so he wouldn't be eligible to

629
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: play until next week against San fran At the earlier

630
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: and he can't practice either. Well, he's right, Well, oh

631
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: you can be under these new IR rules. I believe

632
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: you can return to practice before you are off of

633
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: the designated IR list, but you have to miss at

634
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: least three games if that's the kiss. So as we

635
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: watch him into that was great, all right, Maddie. Other

636
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: good news, other good news, Um, with a guy that

637
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: was in a red non contact jersey yesterday, what can

638
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: you tell us about aj Epanessa? Yeah, so aj Epanessa.

639
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: As we continue along with the good news, we knew

640
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: he got a concussion in the last game against the Cardinals.

641
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: Was out here yesterday working out in red participating in

642
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: practice today. He is out of that red non contact jersey.

643
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: Looks like he's going through practice as he regularly would

644
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: in a in a healthy way. So we'll see what

645
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: comes of the injury or report, which we will get

646
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: this afternoon. We didn't get one yesterday because Chris, like

647
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: you said, they don't have to put one in. They'll

648
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: have to put one in today, so we'll see if

649
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: he was limited or a full participant participant today in practice.

650
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: All right, And then the other good news concerns the

651
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: tight end position. Yes, So we were missing one tight

652
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: end from yesterday's practice and that tight end is now here.

653
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is at practice today, isn't wearing any red,

654
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: is in a regular white jersey. We know that he

655
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: was on the COVID list, and prior to that, he

656
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: was dealing with an injury. So Dawson Knox has had

657
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: a tough go of this season as of the same

658
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: for a few other players like Josh Norman who have

659
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: been on the COVID list, off the COVID list, dealing

660
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: with injuries, not practicing. So good to see Dawson Knox

661
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: out here working his way back, hopefully to fully healthy

662
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: and able to participate in Sunday's game. All right, now,

663
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: what's the bad news? So the bad news and this

664
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: is like pretty bad news because I wish he was

665
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: out here, but I do not see a John Brown

666
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: at practice today. We know he came out of the

667
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals game with that ankle injury. That's been something that

668
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with even prior to the last game.

669
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: So hopefully he's in there getting immense amounts of rehab

670
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: so that he can come back out here for Sunday,

671
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: But definitely not a good sign for him to miss

672
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: yesterday's practice and today's practice. I didn't see him on

673
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: the sideline working out or anything like that, so we'll

674
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: have to see once this injury report comes out later

675
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Soil Mannie. I know coach McDermott was asked

676
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: about John Brown's health. What did coach McDermott say about him? Yeah,

677
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: so similar to what he said about Matt Milano. He

678
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: said that John Brown would not practice today and that

679
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: John Brown was a day today type of case with

680
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: what he's dealing with, and that, like Matt Milano, he

681
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: is working his butt off to get back on the

682
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: practice field. So we'll see if that means he gets

683
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: out here this week at all. Correct, All right? And

684
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: then is Cody Ford still going to work here? I

685
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: know he was out there practicing yesterday, but sometimes after

686
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: you get back for a day, how you feel the

687
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: next day is almost even more important. So is he

688
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: still on schedule? Do we still see him working today? Yep,

689
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,479
Speaker 1: he is still on schedule. He is lining up right

690
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: now taking some reps as we are an individual period.

691
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: So good to see him out here, as well as

692
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the offensive line and the very much

693
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: famous offensive lineman now that a lot of people talk

694
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: about John Feliciano, so he's out here too. He's been

695
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: talked about as one of those guys that this whole

696
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: offensive line really missed when he was not practicing in

697
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: away from the practice field. Dion Dawkins talked about yesterday

698
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: that they missed that savage mindset that John Feliciano brings.

699
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: So good to see a savage like him back on

700
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: this field helping the offensive line as a group as

701
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: they really haven't had the same five guys throughout the

702
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: season yet. Yeah, and be right, you see if that

703
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: can happen this here all right, Maddie, that that pretty

704
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: much takes care of it. Thanks for running down the

705
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: list for us and bringing us up to speed. Yeah,

706
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: no problem. Happy Thanksgiving guys, Happy Thanksgiving. Maddie had a

707
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: hilarious tweet the other day because she, along with her boyfriend,

708
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: try to cook their first turkey and they underestimated how

709
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: much time it takes to defrost one of those things, right, Like, oh,

710
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: it's about thirty six hours in the fridge, Like freezer

711
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: to fridge thirty six hours, Like at least takes that's

712
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: the low end and she was pushing the low end

713
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: of the defrost schedule, and so it was it took

714
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: she had it in her bathtub trying to defrost, that

715
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: she had it in her kitchen sink and then took

716
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: forever to cook. So I remember that it was an

717
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: utter well she I'm using her words now, it was

718
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: an utter disaster. But seeing her tweet about it, I

719
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: was I almost fell out of my chair. It was trum,

720
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: but it is, I get star takes some doing and

721
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: you do have to get started early. But yeah, so

722
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: we'll have to see where it goes with John Brown,

723
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: as Maddie said, Coach McDermott said, day to day, So

724
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: that's certainly better than week to week, but I don't

725
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: know if it provides any more clarity as to his

726
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: odds of playing on Sunday. You would think that it

727
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: gives him an outside chance of at least being available

728
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: for Sunday, or at least on the radar. So he's

729
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: not out, but certainly the bye week wasn't enough time.

730
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: And I'm going to be interested to see when the

731
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: injury report comes out later today if it is only

732
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: listed as an ankle injury, because as we know, the

733
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: last month or so, he had been dealing with a

734
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: nagging knee injury that forced him to sit out a

735
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: day of practice each week just to rest the thing

736
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: up an extra day and not keep pounding on it

737
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: all through a practice week. And so he was playing

738
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: with that and you could tell even in the Arizona

739
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: game that that knee was still not right. And then

740
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: he suffers the so that was the left knee, and

741
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: then he suffers the right ankle injury and leaves the

742
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: game and does not return. So I'm in what I'm

743
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: interested to see, long way of saying, I want to

744
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: see if it's just listed as an ankle injury or

745
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: if it's one of those ankle slash knee. And now

746
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: he's dealing with two things. You know. I twice he's

747
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: we've hit that whip screen that he's scored on against

748
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: the Jets in week one and then twice, but since

749
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: then they and Arizona, he couldn't. He just was like, wow,

750
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: he's not running right, you know, And he got inside them,

751
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: he got down deep. He got inside the five once

752
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: but and got caught on the other one as well.

753
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: So it was it's obvious he's not one hundred percent,

754
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: because you know it's hard to catch him from behind. Yeah,

755
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: we're watching the DBS, our MSG viewers are and during

756
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: individual position drills here and we see Josh Norman, you know,

757
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: practicing obviously off the COVID reserve list earlier this week

758
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: and participating in practice. It will be very interesting to

759
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: see what the coaching staff decides with respect to who

760
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: starts opposite Tredavious White on the outside. Will it be Norman,

761
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: Will it be Wallace? Both of the players are now

762
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: available after neither were available in the Arizona game because

763
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: they went on the COVID list, So that will be

764
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: a starting lineup question that people will be eager to

765
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: see what the answer is. And who knows, it could

766
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: be a platoon situation. It could be one guy and

767
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: not the other. Here's the tricky thing. Both players have

768
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: missed time. So I would tend to think Steve and

769
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: tell me if you think I'm wrong. But the way

770
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: this coaching staff operates, I think whoever looks better in

771
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: practice this week is probably starting. Yeah. I think they'll

772
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: probably give both of them some reps though, just to

773
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: keep them sharp, Like during the team segments you're talking

774
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: about yeah, and even on game day, Oh you think, so, okay,

775
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: there might think at situation is like it might be

776
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: some situational substitutions on whatever defense they're running, where one

777
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: of them's got a better skill set. And while we've

778
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: been talking here in this segment when we had Maddie

779
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: on about the injuries, this just came out from the

780
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: National Football League is being reported by Diana Russini that

781
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers Ravens game, which was going to be on Thanksgiving,

782
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: has now moved to Sunday. So the Ravens having been

783
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: riddled with all the COVID positive tests, right, I believe

784
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: it was nine at last count, five players, four staff members,

785
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: they're getting a chance. They're getting four extra days or yeah,

786
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: four extra days to get ready to play. So they

787
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: may be able to get some of those players back

788
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: if they can clear COVID protocol with negative tests, right,

789
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: and or if somebody else by contact tracing was put

790
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: out or whatever, they can get those guys back with

791
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: a couple of consecutive negative tests. And there's just not

792
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: enough time to do that for a game tomorrow. No, No,

793
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: there isn't. And that was the speculation the game could

794
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: be pushed back to Sunday. Obviously we're out of bye

795
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: weeks at this point. Last week was the last week

796
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: for Buys, so fortunate that they had a little bit

797
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: of wiggle room here with the game being Thursday, just

798
00:42:54,640 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: pushing it back to Sunday. So we now won't know

799
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: if the Steelers are undefeated going into Sunday's game, which

800
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: we would have had they played on Thanksgiving nights. So

801
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: the Steelers Ravens game was to be the nightcap for Thanksgiving.

802
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: So that game is off the table now. Only now

803
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: you have Texans, Lions, Cowboys, Washington. Oof. That's certainly taken

804
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: the sting out of the Thanksgiving Day slate, the old Yeah,

805
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: I mean, NFC, it's it just it just processed in

806
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: your head there. You just realize what we're gonna be

807
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: watching now. It's gonna be more time we're talking about

808
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: whether we were gonna have go out and play. I'm

809
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: gonna take a nap, yeah instead of work. You may

810
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: want to um because the Lions have been the Cowboy

811
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: are coming off a shutout loss. The Cowboys and Washington

812
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: the football team Cowboys and Washington with Andy Dalton not

813
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. You may you may need a few extra drinks.

814
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: At Smith, I mean, I'm Alex Smith's a great story.

815
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: It's a great story. Fantastic story. Yeah, but you know

816
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: it's a great story. Is not at him? Not a

817
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: great game? Haven't haven't had a chance to watch their

818
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: their fine young pass rusher either. What did you what

819
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: did you take on the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions.

820
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: I think the Texans win that game. Call. I think

821
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: those guys. I don't even think it's a contour to seven.

822
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: I think now I will tell you because it just

823
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: crossed earlier. It does not look like the Texans will

824
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: have um Randall Cobb, who's got a bad toe injury

825
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 1: and can't run. And it doesn't look like they're gonna

826
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: have Kenny Stills either. So that's two weapons, yeah, you know,

827
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: two bullets out of the chain. I still think Deshaun

828
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: Watson's gonna flex. Yeah, And I think there is sneaky

829
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: good running team. Yeah, I think they can run the ball.

830
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: I mean, look Trance Stafford, but oh it's it's hard

831
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: not to try to root for Matt Stafford. But that

832
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: guy's just been del the losing hand every way. But

833
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: Louke happened when he got drafted. Well that's another story.

834
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: Houston is thirty first in rushing, but for some reason,

835
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: I just think they're gonna be able to run on

836
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 1: the on the Lions and Matt Patricia man the seats

837
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: getting awfully hot. It's getting awfully hot. I mean he

838
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: is in the top tier of guys who could be

839
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: out of a job. Who is this season, Adam Gaye

840
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: or Matt Patricia? Who's first? Doug Moron? Who first? And

841
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: they have one win? Who's first? I am going to say,

842
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember how many of these jettison to

843
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: coach before the season's over. Pick up, pick one who

844
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: might might keep his job for another season. Out of

845
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: those three, I would say it's Moron because he's got

846
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: the hierarchy out top above him. That's right. He's tight

847
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: with Cough. I agree, So doesn't work there anymore. Oh,

848
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: that's right, he doesn't. I was thinking the ownership. I think, yeah,

849
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: I think Shod Khan likes him. Relationship. I think all

850
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: three could lose him. But here's the thing, which one's

851
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: the least likely to lose it? I think so too.

852
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: He's probably got the biggest excuse too. Look, I got

853
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback here, right, you know, so the Steelers Ravens

854
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: are out for Thanksgiving. Yes, I get it the first

855
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: think about it. That's the first adjustment to the schedule

856
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: that the NFL has had to make for weeks. True. True,

857
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, the Sunday slate got better. The Thanksgiving slate

858
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: had a major subtraction. They just got flushed. That's that's tough,

859
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: all right, We have to take a break. But when

860
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 1: we return, Los Angeles Chargers GM Tom Talsco will be

861
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: joining us, be talking to him about his rookie be phenom,

862
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, and the parallels between his game and that

863
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen and how he landed on Justin Herbert

864
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: and during the pre draft process. We'll get into that

865
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: with him, along with Sunday's matchup. It's coming up next

866

875
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,120

876

Speaker 1: the game to Sunday in the wake of the nine

877

Speaker 1: went down last week against Washington, will remain in the

887
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,440

00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: to handle it like everybody. But yeah, else right now,

910
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: how has the adjustment and the protocols for the NFL,

911
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: you know affected you guys. I know, you guys are

912
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: in a new facility, I guess. I mean you're not

913
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: in You're not in San Diego anymore. You're just trying

914
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: to get your you know, feet in the door of

915
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: the new stadium and all this and now they got

916
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: this dropped on. Yeah, how has that adjustment affected you

917
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: guys ability to get on the field and play. Yeah,

918
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's affected everybody in the league. Um, but

919
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: it's been a huge challenge. I mean, and it's every day,

920
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: um to try and follow the protocols and in the

921
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: middle of that, trying to get ready for an NFL game. Um.

922
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, between the testing and trying to keep

923
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: people physically distant, you know, with between you know, our

924
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: players and coaches, they're together all day long. So um,

925
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: at this point, we're all virtual meetings to get people

926
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: out of the building, keep people separated. Um, it's a

927
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: different way to prepare for a football game. But at

928
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: this point, you know, we're all in the same same protocols,

929
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: same rules, but we're trying to keep everybody safe, keep

930
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: us safe, keep the coaches and players safe, and still

931
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 1: be able to do our jobs. And you know, I'd

932
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: stay on on average. You know, the league's done pretty well.

933
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: We know the numbers are going up across the country.

934
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: I think our numbers are going to going to go

935
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: up just based on society. But we're trying to do

936
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: the best we can. And Tom, I mean, I'm not

937
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: telling you anything that you don't know, but Tom Pella

938
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: Sero from NFL Network was just reporting about some of

939
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: the alterations coach Lynn is making this week with respect

940
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: to special teams duties. Just your thoughts about maybe going

941
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 1: forward now and trying to make the special teams unit

942
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: a better one. Yeah, we're just trying. You know, we've

943
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 1: been struggling and that that phase of the game for

944
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: a number of weeks, so just trying to look for

945
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: ways to get better. So we made some changes there

946
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: and you know, it's been an upkill client for us

947
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: as a football team this year as you can as

948
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: you can tell by the record at three and seven,

949
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: So to try and do what we can do to

950
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: get better. Right now, Well, we've watched with the whole

951
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: country in amazement, as on the spur of the moment

952
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: when it began, Justin Herbert took over for Tyrod and

953
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: we thought, man, it is a it's gonna be catastrophic.

954
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's gonna get chewed up and spit out.

955
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: It didn't happen. Justin Herbert has been sensational. What how

956
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: was it? Luck? Was it? Well? What did you see

957
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: in Justin Herbert? Because there were three guys maybe four

958
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: ahead of him in the draft, you know, the process,

959
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: and people thought, I don't know if he's the right guy,

960
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: if he's gonna do it? What's he like Oregon? What's it?

961
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: What did you see in Justin Herbert? How did he

962
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: become a Charger? And you know how fast did you

963
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: know he was gonna be this good? Well? Yeah, we

964
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: were lucky in this year's draft because it was a

965
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: heavy quarterback draft with a lot of talented players. But no,

966
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: like he's as you said, he stepped in against Kansas

967
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: City without I mean literally seconds before kickoff and stepped

968
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,439
Speaker 1: in and and really it's just taken off from there

969
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: and you know, he has a lot of physical ability.

970
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: I mean he's big, he's athletic, he's strong, and then

971
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, he's got a big arm. You know,

972
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: it's I wouldn't say it's it's not Josh Allen strong,

973
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: but it's it's pretty darn strong. He's been accurate to

974
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: football at his anticipation skills and ball play has been

975
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: has been really really good. And you know, it's been

976
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: a good combination of it's a talented player. He's got

977
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: great intangible as a work ethic and a drive to

978
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: be great and and then you know, and then this coaching,

979
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, coaching and player development between Anthony Lynn and

980
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: Shane Styke and our offensive coordinator and Pet Hamilton, our

981
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: quarterback coach, to trying to get him up to speed

982
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: and get him ready to go. And it's so it's

983
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: been a group effort. But he's been impressive. He's kept

984
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: us in games and it couldn't be more happy about

985
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: him right now. Yeah, And I wanted to ask you

986
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: Tom about Shane Styke in the offensive coordinator. I mean,

987
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: he was given that role permanently, you know, this year

988
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: after he inherited it halfway through the season, last year.

989
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,479
Speaker 1: What was so convincing about the job he did last year?

990
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: And then how has he kind of worked with the

991
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback this season? Because I mean it's I mean

992
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: the numbers are through the roof. Yeah, you know, he's

993
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: very adaptable and flexible, and you have to work to

994
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: what your personality has or WI what you what you have,

995
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: what you have your personnel and that that changes on

996
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: week to week basis just based on injuries and even

997
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 1: this year it's based on COVID. You're not always sure

998
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: who you're gonna have a week to week. So, um,

999
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: he's a good offensive mind, comes from a very good background.

1000
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: He came up the right way and um, you know

1001
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: he showed that last year. We had a lot of

1002
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: confidence in him last year, but when he took over

1003
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: the job, he showed it to us. And if let's

1004
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: continued on this year, and you know, we put them

1005
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: in a difficult situation. It's a rookie quarterback with no

1006
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: offseason program, no preseason games, and the thought that that

1007
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor would be our quarterback to start the year.

1008
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: Obviously that changed in week week two. But Justin has

1009
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: taken a job and run with it. And it's been

1010
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: a good combination for everybody involved. And as always, it's

1011
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: not all about COVID. When you when you got an

1012
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: injury to Austin Eckler and it looks like he's been

1013
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: and I can only imagine how bad his hammy was

1014
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: to be out for so long. But getting him back

1015
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: on the field, certainly he may not be there may

1016
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: be a little rust on him, but getting him back

1017
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: on the field's gotta give you guys a little bit

1018
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: at least of an emotional boost, if not a pretty

1019
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: good boost in production as well. Yeah, I mean he'll

1020
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: he'll start some practice this week. You know, I don't

1021
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: know what it means for you know, a game wise

1022
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: coming up. But like I said, it was it was

1023
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: a different type of hamstring. It wasn't your typical sprinting

1024
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: down field and strain your hamstring. It was it was

1025
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: more serious than that. But now he brings a dynamic

1026
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: to our offense that you just can't duplicate because every

1027
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: time he touched the ball, he can take it the

1028
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: distance for a touchdown. He's so explosive both as a

1029
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: runner and as a receiver out of the backfield. Gives

1030
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: us speed and juice in our run game. UM. So yeah,

1031
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: so he'll be a huge um A boost when he

1032
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: does come back. I'm not sure when that will be, um,

1033
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 1: but he has hard to duplicate guys with that type

1034
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 1: of skill. Um, he's done a great job to kind

1035
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: of work his way back from this. We'll kind of

1036
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 1: see where it goes. I want to I want to

1037
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: hit the rewind button a little bit and just go

1038
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: back to draft weekend if we can, Tom, because I

1039
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: found the draft approach for your entire division pretty fascinating.

1040
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: Like the Broncos and the Raiders pretty much determined they

1041
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: needed to invest in speed and high end receiving talent

1042
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: in what seemed like an effort to keep up with

1043
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Um, even though you added a couple of

1044
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: receivers later in the draft, you know you had receiver

1045
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: talent on your roster already, you had other priorities. But

1046
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,919
Speaker 1: what was your review looking back on how the rest

1047
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: of the division reacted to the success that the Chiefs

1048
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: had last year. Well, they're they're a team to beat. Obviously,

1049
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: they've won the division number years in a row when

1050
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, so you know, when you're building your

1051
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: football team, you are looking how you match up with

1052
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: your other teams in your division. Um, so you do

1053
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: look to build that way, but you also remember that,

1054
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: you know, we need to build our team as well

1055
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: to make them match up with us. So it's kind

1056
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: of a double edged sword. Um. But yeah, our division

1057
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: is uh, it's it's tough. You know. We got Kansas City,

1058
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: we got the la Um, the got the Oakland. I

1059
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: keep calling the Oakland Raiders like people leased to call

1060
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: the San Diego Charge with the Las Vegas Raiders. And

1061
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: then Denver's come along. Denver, as you said, it's very

1062
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 1: fast on offense, so difficult division. And you know, as

1063
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 1: we build it, we try and look to see where

1064
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,439
Speaker 1: we match up. But like I said, it goes both

1065
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: ways with that. What has Anthony Lynn's message been to

1066
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: his team? I know that when you're sitting there losing

1067
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 1: a game. I was. I went back today and watched

1068
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: the Denver game you guys had in Denver where you

1069
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: were lumping them up and somehow, some way they fight

1070
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: back and beat you with an extra point. What's Anthony Lynn?

1071
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: How have has he done during this time when the

1072
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: team's playing so well and is not getting rewarded for it. Yeah, Well,

1073
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: he's a great leader. He's got a great presence about him.

1074
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: He keeps him focus on the game at hand. And

1075
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: you know we've had three three games that should we

1076
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: lost in the last play of the game, you know,

1077
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: it could be the difference between three and seven and

1078
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: six and four. You know, who knows. But you know,

1079
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: we've had some situations here in the past. I know

1080
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: Anthony's first year, we started off very slow. It was

1081
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: a first year moving from San Diego. It is a

1082
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: difficult position to be in. And then he rallied this

1083
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: team back and uh we made a huge run. So

1084
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, you just have some really unique leadership skills

1085
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: which you have to have in the head coach's job,

1086
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: especially in situations like this where things have not gone

1087
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: as we had planned, and the players respond to him,

1088
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: the players believe in him. That's why we think that

1089
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: this last six games and we're going to take them

1090
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: one of the time. But we still think, we still

1091
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: think we can finish strong. Right now, talking to Chargers GM,

1092
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 1: Tom to LESCo here and you know, justin Herbert's state

1093
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: of readiness Tom for the NFL game is probably what

1094
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: has grabbed people the most By surprise in terms of

1095
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: his success. You know, for outside observers that aren't seeing

1096
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: him every day in practice like you are. I don't

1097
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: know that the Oregon offensive system really ever put his

1098
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: full athletic ability on display. So how did you guys

1099
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: kind of do your due diligence in confirming he was

1100
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: the kind of quarterback that had the necessary mobility to

1101
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: kind of extend plays and make them off script when necessary,

1102
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: which seems like a required quality in the league these

1103
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: days for a quarterback. Yeah, there's there's no doubt. It's

1104
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 1: it's like putting a puzzle together. And it's not just

1105
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks. It's not just with Justin with it's with

1106
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: everybody you draft. So when we're looking at college players,

1107
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: we're trying to project them to the NFL level. Um,

1108
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: and you know with Justin obviously four year starter in college,

1109
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: so we had a lot of background, a lot of

1110
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: work to do on him, just tape wise. Um, you

1111
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: just try and put the pieces together. You may not

1112
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: see him, um do everything he'll do at this level,

1113
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: but if you see it once or twice, you know

1114
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: it's in there. And uh, look for Oregon's offense, you

1115
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: know they moved to football. They scored points. Uh, they

1116
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: won the Patrol Championionship, they won the Rose Bowl. Um,

1117
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: so what they were doing worked for them. Um. But

1118
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: as scouting the player, we're trying to look at everything

1119
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: we can tape wise, we washed him. You know, the

1120
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl they played him a little bit differently he

1121
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: was at the Singer Bowl and where you can see

1122
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But you know, we knew he

1123
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: was a good athlete. We knew he could fit the

1124
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: system that we want to run. And then everything else

1125
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: is just about a lot of it about It's just

1126
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: his work ethic. He's a perfectionist. He wants to be great.

1127
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,479
Speaker 1: And usually those guys they get better. They developed. Now

1128
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: he's developed faster than than maybe we'd anticipated. Um, but

1129
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: those guys get better that they have the football intelligence

1130
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: and the work ethic and they're right coaching around them.

1131
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: We marveled, and we were Steve and I were talking

1132
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: about it on the show this week, Tom how much

1133
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: his numbers quite quite literally mirror those of Josh. And

1134
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean much has been made of Josh's progress here

1135
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: in year three with the Bills and the big step

1136
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: that he has taken. Justin's doing this is a rookie.

1137
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: His numbers are almost identical to that of Josh Allen

1138
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: and he's played one fewer game than Josh. So I

1139
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: mean we've got him on our screen for our MSG

1140
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: viewers right now. I mean it's almost a carbon copy. Um,

1141
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: it's just it's uncanny that Herbert is Herbert's game is

1142
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: this advanced when it took Josh about three years to

1143
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: get there. Well that's all great, But the biggest status

1144
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: the one at the bottom. So that's test the one

1145
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: that's the one we're working on. And uh, you know,

1146
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback is very important. He touched the ball every play,

1147
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,439
Speaker 1: but it's about the team. And look where we're really

1148
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: really happy with Justin with how he's how he's developed, Um,

1149
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: you know for a young player. Um, and just watching Josh,

1150
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, watching them, watching you guys in the last

1151
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, Um, he has just been outstanding. Watching

1152
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: him play, it's like watching Josh Allen in the pocket

1153
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: is like watching like the versity versus the jv is

1154
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: as the pass rushers come around and he's just swapping

1155
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: him around, pushing him around. Um, he's so big and strong.

1156
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean he runs the ball like you're running back,

1157
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, his arm strength is unbelievable, and

1158
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: he's got great touch on the ball, and and uh,

1159
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: obviously the receivers the Bills have are really good too,

1160
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: and they go deep with that group. So he's got

1161
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: a lot of talent around him, and he hasn't be

1162
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: tough challenge for us this week. One thing I've watched

1163
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 1: justin Herbert is your offensive lines had some injuries, and

1164
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like that has bothered him. His athleticism

1165
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: has helped him in that. You guys have had to

1166
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: shuffle your offensive line. Can you speak to that about

1167
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: how you know you've How concerning is it to you

1168
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: going forward? I certainly like everybody healthy. How has your

1169
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: depth been in the offensive line? And how impressed have

1170
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: you been with Herbert and his ability to like just

1171
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: to overcome that on the offensive side. Yeah, you know,

1172
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,919
Speaker 1: it was interesting during training camp. You know, his first

1173
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of training camp, he was really lighting

1174
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: up the defense. So we tried to make it a

1175
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: little bit more challenging for him, and he had a

1176
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: couple of rough, rough practices. But the one thing he

1177
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: did in training camp, it didn't matter if there was five, six, seven,

1178
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: eight people coming at him, he stood in the pocket,

1179
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: never looked at the rush, and may throw us downfield.

1180
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: But the one thing we didn't know is it's practice

1181
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: because and you can't hit the quarterback during practice, So

1182
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: can you do this in a live situation in the

1183
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: NFL game. We didn't have a preseason game to know that,

1184
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: so we didn't even know this till really against against Kansas.

1185
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: It essentially is, you know, can he still be that

1186
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: same guy when you don't have essentially a red jersey on?

1187
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: And he just has a great feel in the pocket

1188
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: to kind of move shuffley to left or right, maybe

1189
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 1: stuff up in the pocket, find an open throwing lane

1190
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: and make throws. And you know, a lot of that

1191
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: is just natural ability and a lot of that's just

1192
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: practice and work at it, and he's showing the abilities

1193
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: to do that. We've got a couple more starters back

1194
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: in the offensive line last week, so that's good to see.

1195
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: But now he's been able to handle the rush and

1196
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: handled the amount of pressure and blitz his people are

1197
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: brought against us very well for a young player. Talking

1198
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: as Chargers GM Tom to LESCo and two guys on

1199
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Tom, I want to

1200
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the one guy that you traded

1201
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: up for in the first round, Ken Murray Junior, who

1202
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: just looked like a fantastic, running hit type athlete just

1203
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: looking at his college tape going into the draft. Just

1204
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: his level of progress here in his rookie season. And

1205
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: then a guy that's kind of flashed here that's kind

1206
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: of flown under the radar, Mike Davis, the owner. Uh,

1207
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: just the game that he has brought to the table

1208
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: this season. It looks like he's made an awful lot

1209
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: of progress with his game. Yeah, Michael's come a long way.

1210
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Michael was an undrafted free agent from b YU and

1211
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: he's just each year taking a bigger step and now he's,

1212
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's a legitimate starting corner in this league.

1213
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: He's got long arms, and he runs very well, and

1214
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: he's had a nice year for us UM. And then

1215
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: who's the other player you mentioned, Oh, Kenny Murry. Yeah, yeah, Kenny,

1216
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: he's been Uh, like he said, he's a running hit

1217
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: player and very physical, big fast, and you know, we've

1218
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: kind of put him in a position where he's the

1219
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: quarterback of the defense, which is Uh, it's difficult on

1220
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: young players. I mean, right now, we've got a you know,

1221
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback on one side, and really you know a

1222
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: rookie linebacker that's making all the calls on defense. Um,

1223
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, and especially not having Derwin James out there

1224
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:50,919
Speaker 1: has kind of changed something as how how we get

1225
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: lined up, and so he's been putting some tough positions,

1226
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: but he's handled it well. Um, And for for how

1227
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: young he is, he's very mature. Um. Loves the play

1228
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: the game, great, great work ethic, and I think we're

1229
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna see really big strives from him as we moved

1230
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: forward this year and then for the rest of his career. Yeah,

1231
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting because what you're going through now

1232
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 1: is exactly what the Bills did in what was a

1233
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. You know, they had a rookie quarterback and

1234
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: they had Tremaine Edmonds calling all the stuff on the

1235
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball at the linebacker position. And

1236
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny because their body types are almost

1237
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: a little similar. Murray's kind of that long, lanky guy too,

1238
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: it seems at least that's how he looks on TV. Yeah,

1239
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: very very similar players probably probably remains a little bit taller,

1240
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: but but similar players and both young when they came

1241
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: out of college too. Right, last one that I've got

1242
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: for you, Tom is playing in these largely empty stadiums

1243
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: and in the new one that you guys are playing,

1244
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: and it's got to be cavernous. I mean that that

1245
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: is a huge facility. We've talked to some of the

1246
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: players here about how it's different, and especially the defensive players.

1247
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Tom have said, sometimes times when we need that juice

1248
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,919
Speaker 1: from the crowd on a third down or something, it's

1249
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: not there and we have to manufacture it and get

1250
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: it from each other. Um. I'm wondering if your players

1251
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: have expressed some of those same things and what they've

1252
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: done to try to overcome it. Well, yes, I mean

1253
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: it's a it's an experience like like none, none other.

1254
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean the first game, our opener against the Bengals,

1255
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and it was an away game, but it felt like

1256
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: a scrimmage, you know, with without anybody in the stands.

1257
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: You hear every whistle, you hear every pad that that

1258
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: hits you, hear interactions between coaches and players and players

1259
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: and coaches, and um, it's just a different it's a

1260
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: different field, so you do have to bring your own energy. UM.

1261
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: You know, there are some positives. I mean, you can

1262
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: get some coaching from the sideline and you can scream

1263
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: out to wherever you need to to get them lined

1264
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: up in the in the correct spot. But it's different,

1265
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: it really is, and it's it's it's hard to get

1266
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: used to, um. But it's going to help us this

1267
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: weekend going to Buffalo to not have that crowd behind them.

1268
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: So for us is a big advantage this week to

1269
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: play the Bills in a silent stadium because there's there's

1270
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, probably no harder place to play, to go

1271
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: playing for an eighty thousand Bills fans, and especially the

1272
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: way the Bills are playing right now, so at least

1273
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: it makes it an even playing field for us. Last thing,

1274
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: I go just we just heard before we came out,

1275
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you knew it probably before we did that.

1276
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 1: The Steelers and the Ravens game has been moved from

1277
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving to Sunday. It's been the first game that's been

1278
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: adjusted for weeks ever since back in the day when

1279
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee had the outbreak early in the season, they kind

1280
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: of put the lid on that it's been a player here,

1281
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: a player there. How, given where we were, like say,

1282
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:44,439
Speaker 1: four months ago, back in July, June and July, when

1283
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: they didn't know, how unbelievable is it that the league

1284
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: has been able to keep this on track and keep

1285
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: it rolling, knowing that they didn't do it in a bubble.

1286
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: And I just think it maybe in the calendar of

1287
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: the sports, this may be one of the great accomplishments

1288
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: the NFL has ever done. If they can indeed get

1289
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and do it on schedule, how

1290
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: likely is it? I guess I'll ask you that. But

1291
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: also how impressive is it that they've even got this far? Well,

1292
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: I think you hit on the head. I think it's

1293
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: impressive that we've been able to do this without being

1294
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: in a bubble. It would be hard for the NFL

1295
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: to do this like the NBA and get it in

1296
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: a real bubble. So they do it like this with

1297
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: the protocols, and look, they've we've adjusted these protocols from

1298
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 1: August till now. I mean, I can't tell you how

1299
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 1: many memos I have a stack over here that almost

1300
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: a new one comes out every Monday. As far as

1301
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: changing up how we're going to handle this, which we

1302
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: have to because we're learning more and more about the virus,

1303
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, the longer we get into this. So it's

1304
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: been incredible they get to where we are now, but

1305
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the most difficult test right now.

1306
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean that the numbers across the country are going up,

1307
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: so I think obviously our numbers are going to increase

1308
01:08:55,520 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. But you know, between us following the protocols,

1309
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: keeping away from each other, we wear these contact tracers.

1310
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: I know all the Bills do as well to remind

1311
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: us of that. Our testing every day helps. And really

1312
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is make sure everybody's honest. If you

1313
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: feel anything, If it feels sick, you stay home. And

1314
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 1: it's our jobs as the front office to have the

1315
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: team ready to play. And it maybe and we saw

1316
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,679
Speaker 1: it last week or two weeks ago with Dane Jackson

1317
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 1: coming up and starting for the Bills and actually he

1318
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: played really, really well, good player. So you have to

1319
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: build a deep team, you have to coach, everybody have

1320
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: to be ready to go. So between the teams and

1321
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: the league office handling this, it's been impressive, but this

1322
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: next month and a half is going to be difficult.

1323
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: But hopefully we have things in place we can get

1324
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: through and play these games and have the playoffs. Tom,

1325
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,640
Speaker 1: thanks man, it's great seeing you. A good luck and

1326
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on with us and taking a minute

1327
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: to share it with us. Yeah, anytime. Thanks for having

1328
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: me on. Guys, we appreciate the time, especially during a

1329
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 1: holiday week. And please thank your wife for starting that

1330
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: jewelry company Charming Newport, because I got three easy gimme

1331
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: birth Christmas gifts from my wife. She bought him for

1332
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: herself and handed him to me, So please thank your

1333
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: wife for doing that. We appreciate it. Thanks for the plug, Brownie,

1334
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks you too, Tom Tlasco Chargers gm um

1335
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: with some interesting thoughts. And you know, we didn't really

1336
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: ask him too much about the bills because we wanted

1337
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: to get kind of the feel of, you know, the

1338
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: Chargers in the season and how it's gone, and it's

1339
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: it's been some tough sledding for them, it really has.

1340
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: I mean, we see Anthony Lynn today reassigning his special

1341
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: teams coordinator George Stewart. I mean that guy's been coaching

1342
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: in this league for over thirty years. Yeah, I mean,

1343
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: how hard is that? Like? Mid season, like, hey, I

1344
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: need you to just step aside here. Yeah, that's rough.

1345
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: It's excruciating to be a part of it when those

1346
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: guys are playing as well. They they lost the Denver

1347
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: Broncos game in Denver, and it was and I wrote

1348
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: it down. They they were up twenty four to three.

1349
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: Was seven minutes to seven and a half minutes ago

1350
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, twenty four to three. I mean,

1351
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: it's stuffed him. And then with eight minutes left in

1352
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, it's still twenty seven seventeen and they

1353
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: give the ball to the Broncos, the Broncos seventy five

1354
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: yards play and they get they get a pass interference

1355
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: in the end zone. One play touchdown, you lose. It

1356
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: was three three losses this year on the last play

1357
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: of the game. That's how close it is. That's how

1358
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: and that's that's a squasher man. That's when you get

1359
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: into this thing and people say, wow, I don't know

1360
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: way and I said it yesterday. Were the thing. The

1361
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: difference in the number one team and the thirty second

1362
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: team is like two percent. Well, the difference between the

1363
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: one team and a team like the Chargers who aren't

1364
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: number maybe they're in the bottom third is like one

1365
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: and a half percent. Well, I mean you've said it

1366
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: this week. The Bills are a hill Marry away from

1367
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 1: being eight and two. The Chargers are three plays away

1368
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: from being six and four. Yeah, I literally, yeah, three plays,

1369
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: three plays and they gotta be sitting there going what

1370
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: the hell we gotta do? And they're doing it the

1371
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:05,720
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. Yeah, that's pretty impressive. And I think, yeah,

1372
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I would say now they've

1373
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: had turnover at the running back position. You know, Melvin

1374
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 1: Jordan out the door last year, Eckler injured out for

1375
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: two months this year. I mean that's their main He's

1376
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,759
Speaker 1: the engine of their offense. Now it has since become

1377
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 1: Herbert right, you know, with with Eckler out of the lineup.

1378
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: But when he comes back, like if he comes back

1379
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, they're gonna be you know, it'd be

1380
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: much better. It might not be a team you want

1381
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 1: to play down the stretch when you need a way.

1382
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: We're interesting to see whether they make a change at

1383
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: the head coaching job or if they dress Yeah, it's hard.

1384
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 1: They just signed him to an extension last year, and

1385
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: I know that doesn't mean a hill of beans. In

1386
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, it's all about results. You know. An ownership

1387
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: usually will eat a contract if they don't think it's

1388
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: working at the head coaching postum. But I think there

1389
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 1: are a lot of things that they are doing right.

1390
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: They're just not getting the results because it's like you

1391
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: said at the beginning when we first started talking to him,

1392
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: they've got a good roster. Yeah, they have a good roster.

1393
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: To Alesco has put together a very talented roster. And

1394
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that you can say what you want,

1395
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 1: justin Herbert Can he can sling it. Yeah, and he

1396
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: says that's not quite Josh Allen storm strength. I'll tell

1397
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 1: you what he's got. He's got a hose. He that

1398
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: guy's got an arm. I've seen enough on tape. He

1399
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: can blast it. Yeah. I mean he made We saw

1400
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 1: one of the highlights. We ran it our our team

1401
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 1: in the control pass on a rope off. No, I'm

1402
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: talking about the one against Tampa off his back foot

1403
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,600
Speaker 1: down the scene for forty yards off his back foot

1404
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: with two guys hanging on him. Yeah, he's a good player.

1405
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: He is something. And it's amazing too that you get

1406
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: these guys in here and justin Herbert splashes onto the

1407
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: scene and the way he that he has and and

1408
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: and you know, Lamar Jackson did it up, you know,

1409
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: and they still nobody knows what they've got in any

1410
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 1: of these guys until they tee it up on game day.

1411
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: They get him in training camp, they get him in

1412
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 1: preseason games, and they they tee it up finally, and

1413
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: they think, Okay, look at this guy, you know, yeah,

1414
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: and then even then it's like, wow, he does see it.

1415
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, you can't evaluate it's it's still a roll

1416
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 1: of the dice. It's which guy, That's why. And we

1417
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: ran out of time because I wanted to ask him.

1418
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: You know, you've got the six pick in the draft.

1419
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: Everybody knows you need a quarterback. You've moved on from

1420
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, and there's two other teams in front of

1421
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: you that definitely need quarterbacks, and there might be some

1422
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: other teams behind you looking a leap frog you knowing

1423
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: you need one. How the heck do you hold your

1424
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: water in a situation like that knowing you need one

1425
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: of them? You know what I mean? Like that has

1426
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: got to be nerve racking to a degree. I don't

1427
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: think any of us can fatho it, and a little

1428
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: bit of it is not at this pay grade, and

1429
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 1: a little bit of it is you think, okay, the

1430
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: maximum number at six, at number six is the maximum

1431
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: number probably is gonna be three to three and a

1432
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: half to four. Quarterback 's taken if there If you

1433
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 1: guys are jumping teams are desperate and jumping up, and

1434
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: you're at six, so you're thinking, okay, if it's three,

1435
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's at one, you know they're probably taking Burrow. That

1436
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: was probably the only thing that was relatively sure. Sure,

1437
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: and Miami's at five, and you know they're looking for

1438
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: one and they're right in front of you. Then you

1439
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: can wait. If number two doesn't take the QB, if

1440
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: number three doesn't take the QB, then you know there's

1441
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 1: only you know, nobody's only one spot left, only one

1442
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 1: spot left, so you're gonna get somebody could leap frog you.

1443
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,719
Speaker 1: So that's when you look back and you think, Okay,

1444
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: we like Burrow, we like TWA Herbert, and the rest

1445
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: of these guys like who are we gonna take? I

1446
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 1: just wonder if Herbert was their guy all along. That's

1447
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: what I say that well it is, but I and

1448
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: We'll never get this straight answer on that because nobody's

1449
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: putting that out in the ether from the Chargers organization

1450
01:15:56,320 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: or anywhere else. But we knew Yeah. But I I'm oh, man,

1451
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm dying to know, like because they I mean, it's clear.

1452
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 1: I want to hear what happened about an hour before

1453
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: they picked yeah, because you were the conversations you are like,

1454
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: but I think we know Steve that more often than not,

1455
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: this is a big man's game and Justin Herbert is

1456
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: the biggest one of the lot in this draft class.

1457
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 1: It's like he's Josh's size and as you said, he's

1458
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: got a hose and he can run. Yeah. And the

1459
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: thing that amazed me because a lot of Oregon's passing

1460
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 1: game was like short around the line of scrimmage stuff.

1461
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: You know, get your guy, get your athletes in space,

1462
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:41,640
Speaker 1: and they do whatever they do. His downfield passing accuracy

1463
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: this season has been really really good, spends it good.

1464
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I I just think the guy

1465
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: you can, like you said, they can say whatever they want. Now.

1466
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if it matters because he's looking. Tom's

1467
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: did a really good seat right now grabbing that kid,

1468
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: and I it's it's the proof is in the results,

1469
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 1: and they have not gotten the results. But if you're

1470
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: sitting there as a GM, you gotta be like going,

1471
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: what else we gotta do? Uh? You know? Yeah? I

1472
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: just hit got an All World receiver. I hit a

1473
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 1: Grand Slam. Yeah, and I picked He's the guy who

1474
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 1: picked the All World receiver too. He's also and he's

1475
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: the guys signed all these guys. He's been there for

1476
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 1: a while's been there since twenty fourteen. Yeah, he's been

1477
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 1: there for a while. Gotta win, Yeah, you gotta win. Yeah,

1478
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: but but at least he's got the quarterback to do

1479
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 1: it now if if he's right, because it seems like

1480
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: the trajectory of this team is better now than it

1481
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: was towards the end of Philip rivers career. Wouldn't you agree? Yeah?

1482
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: I think I think Philip Rivers can only get you

1483
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 1: so far. Yes, And you know what, it was almost

1484
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: he felt like it was stagnant. As good as Philip

1485
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: Rivers was, he was deteriorating and the team had to

1486
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: had to adjust to that deterioration, which means, well, they

1487
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 1: couldn't really go They couldn't go where they needed to go.

1488
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 1: They had to adjust what Philip Rivers was capable of doing.

1489
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: And he was good. I mean, he's gifted and he's

1490
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: doing really well in Indianapolis. But Indianapolis has the defense

1491
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: and a running game San Diego would have had. It's

1492
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: almost like he's a complimentary piece in Indie, right, not

1493
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 1: the lead dog he was. Yeah, he was the centerpiece

1494
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 1: in San Diego or La and at the end of

1495
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: his career and he just wasn't up to it. All. Right,

1496
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: break time for us. When we return, you're gonna want

1513
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,479

01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: Jets fan, or a Patriots fan, and if you guess correctly,

1522
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 1: edition of dolphan Jets Fan Pats Fan is Ben in

01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:13,640
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. Ben. Are you ready to play? Yes? I

1524
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: am okay. So this is pretty straightforward. The first tweet

1525
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: I am reading you comes from a person who calls

1526
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: themselves big Cheese on Twitter, and he says, I don't

1527
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: know what else are fans want? From our quarterback, focus

1528
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: on that trash defense and get some weapons in there.

1529
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 1: He's playing with Sam's club receipt checkers at wide, receiver

1530
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: and tight end. Does that sound Ben like a Dolphins fan,

1531
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, or a Patriots fan? That sounded to

1532
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: me like a Pats fan. A Pats fan, he says,

1533
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: what makes you think it's a Pats fan. There's just

1534
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: not enough weapons on the Pats offense. Devin ASIASI not

1535
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 1: a great tight end and best thing they got on

1536
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: receivers Nikil Harry. Well, Ben, I'm happy to report you

1537
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: are correct. It is a Pats fan for the second

1538
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: straight week. Steve, we missed some good ones here. We yeah,

01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 1: are are keepers for sure. So Ben, hang on the line. Congratulations,

1547
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: call in and attempt to win, but first out of

1548
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 1: the gate, and he got it. Yeah, I thought we

1549
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: were vague enough, and I thought enough of the offenses

1550
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: in the AFC East stink where he would at least think, well,

1551
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's the Jets. I don't know, but we've got

1552
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: some other doozies here. Steve wanted to read one of

1553
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:52,799
Speaker 1: these other yea from another one. This is from Dennis.

1554
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: It says a few unlucky bounces this year, watch out

1555
01:21:56,240 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: for us next season. That was that you wouldn't know it,

1556
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: but that is dripping with sarcasm. That's a Jet fan

1557
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: all the way, a sarcasm all the way. This one

1558
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 1: from a mere who was obviously gripping during last week's game.

1559
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 1: This might be the most frustrating game I've watched in sometime.

1560
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: Wt F is going on and uh, that was a

1561
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: That was a Dolphins fan watching the game against Denver

1562
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: where TWA got benched. Um right, number four. Number four

1563
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 1: is a good one. Two from Corner Sports. He says,

1564
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: there was a reason we said we didn't trust this

1565
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:39,679
Speaker 1: team as AFC playoff contenders. That was last week after

1566
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: fits through the last interception there at the end. That

1567
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 1: was a Doll fan yeah, this guy. Brett says, I

1568
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: hate our Twitter these days. They're so quick to give

1569
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: up on talent. I really hope the front office is

1570
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,759
Speaker 1: thinking like I am. I don't know if they are, Brett,

1571
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,679
Speaker 1: that was that was another Jet. That's otherwise you wouldn't

1572
01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: be the Jets from mac. He says this, We've put

1573
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 1: put ourselves in a position to win, but the offense

1574
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to come through and keep plays down

1575
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: the stretch. That's from a Patriots fan, and that's that's

1576
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,679
Speaker 1: refreshing to hear, isn't it. That's pretty reasonable, wonderful. Doesn't

1577
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 1: belong on Twitter. That is downright wonderful. But congratulations to

1578
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: Ben in Orchard Park, the winner of this week's Fan Box.

1579
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Make sure you you tune in each week because we

1580
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 1: run this contest once a week, and we had a

1581
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago we went down the line to

1582
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: like eight clues. We were running out of clues right,

1583
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: people couldn't guess it because it's a different clue, Like

1584
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: if the first caller doesn't get it, we jumped to

1585
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 1: a new clue um because we you know, we don't

1586
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:44,560
Speaker 1: want to make an unfair advantage for the person that

1587
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: guests is second on the same clue, so it's always

1588
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: a new clue for each and every caller that comes after.

1589
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:53,920
Speaker 1: So that was that was entertaining to say the least. Um.

1590
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: But man, there we just going through the list of

1591
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 1: things to choose from. I know Jay put a lot

1592
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 1: of these together this week, but some of the times

1593
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: where I'm cruising around on the Jets side or the

1594
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 1: Patriots Twitter handle which is goat, which is hashtag go Pats,

1595
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: and the Jets is hashtag take flight, which might be

1596
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: the biggest oxy moron in the NFL right now with

1597
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: an overge and uh I had I had one of

1598
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: the Bills reporter, one of the Bills fans tweet at

1599
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 1: me saying, hey, why are you calling Miami fans doll fans?

1600
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: He goes, it sounds so weird, I said, don't look

1601
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: at me. Said that's what they call their fans. Yeah,

1604
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,560
Speaker 1: was a whole other thing. You can make fun of it,

1605
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 1: like you're mispronouncing dolphins. Yeah, so but that's what they

1606
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: call him and the guy answered me back, he goes,

1607
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's fantastic. He goes. My brother in

1608
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: law is a Dolphins fan. I gotta kill him on

1609
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 1: this now because he goes, is the most ridiculous thing

1610
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: I've ever heard of, man called in my life. Yeah,

1611

1615
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,160

1616
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 1: But Ben killed it. Ben was on it. He was

1617

Speaker 1: on it from the drop, no hesitation whatsoever. Guest to

1618
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,640
Speaker 1: Pat's fan, and guest correctly. All right, we have to

1619
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, we'll find

1620
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,720
Speaker 1: out who our high school coach of the week was

1621
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 1: for Section six and Section five. We'll get to that,

1622
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: and we may even have time to take a look

1623
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: at what former Bills running back and former Seahawks running

1624

01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:32,480
Speaker 1: those efforts. And there's somebody else, Steve, who's delivering groceries,

1657
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: who's delivering well, something close to groceries, turkeys. It's a

1658
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:42,759
Speaker 1: former Bills player, former Seahawks player. It's running back Marshawn Lynch.

1659
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: Who saying what you will about Marshawn, he always did

1660
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 1: right by his community and even now as a retired player,

1661
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: he is doing that and sometimes they does it. It

1662
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 1: is somewhat unconventional way. He does it his way, There's

1663
01:27:56,040 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 1: no question. So Marshawn this week was in the middle

1664
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: of traffic, you know, with cars stopped at red lights

1665
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: in Hawaii and oh he was in Hawaii. I thought

1666
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: he was in his native Oaklands in Hawaii, is what

1667
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:12,759
Speaker 1: I this what I read? Okay, he was in Hawaii,

1668
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: which if you're gonna do it in the middle of traffic, yeah,

1669
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 1: handing out frozen turkeys, like giving them away, handing him

1670
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: out like just got the gloves on, got the mask on.

1671
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,759
Speaker 1: Hey you need a turkey. Hey you need a turkey?

1672
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: Who needs a turkey? Over here? You need one? I

1673
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:30,960
Speaker 1: got your turkey if you need it. Now. Can you

1674
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: imagine there you are on the island of Oahu. You know,

1675
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:40,680
Speaker 1: it's a random Tuesday, and there's a guy in the

1676
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 1: middle of the street handing out turkeys and what it's

1677
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:48,679
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. Yeah what what? Why? Nothing? And it looks

1678
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 1: like him he's got beast mode gear on um walking

1679
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: around and night. You know he's you handing him out. So, uh,

1680
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 1: Marshawn always good about doing right by community. But this

1681
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 1: is a new one man. Yeah, this is helping, you know.

1682
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know here here in Buffalo, they hand

1683
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: out the Buffalo News on Kids Day. They come in

1684
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 1: between the cars. When you know you're at the red light. Hey,

1685
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,720
Speaker 1: you know you want a newspaper if support kids day,

1686
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Sure, yeah, here's some change that you know,

1687
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 1: here's the dollar, give me a paper. He's doing this

1688
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 1: with twenty pound turkeys. Yeah, ton of turkeys. Yeah. So

1689
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty cool. I mean, Marshawn has always walked

1690
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 1: to the beat of a different drummer. And and you know,

1691
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 1: people who don't get that, or you know, have something

1692
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:44,320
Speaker 1: whatever thoughts about Marshawn that they have the acid test.

1693
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 1: And I've said this a ton of times publicly. The

1694
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: acid test for me about football players when you see

1695
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:50,320
Speaker 1: him and you get this thing on when they're playing

1696
01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:52,720
Speaker 1: or when they're in their post game or pregame interviews,

1697
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:55,600
Speaker 1: and you have, you know, a kind of a preconceived

1698
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 1: notion about what type of player or guy he is.

1699
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: And I get it that's the only way you know him.

1700
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 1: You don't get a chance to sit down and talk

1701
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 1: with him. The acid test for me has always been

1702
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:09,439
Speaker 1: what do the guys that are in the locker room

1703
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:11,680
Speaker 1: think about him? And in some race, you can make

1704
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 1: the argument that they're a little bit captured by you know,

1705
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 1: they have no place to go, so they gotta make

1706
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 1: the best of it. But even so, you don't hide

1707
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: who you really are in a locker room. And players

1708
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:27,719
Speaker 1: who have played with Marshawn Lynch in their locker rooms

1709
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 1: love the guy. I've heard nothing but stellar reports about

1710
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 1: how and I'll tell you this too. The guy's lights

1711
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 1: are on. He's a sharp guy. Yeah, he doesn't get

1712
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: credit for it, and well, it's because he always struggled

1713
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: with the media. He detested interviews. He didn't like the

1714
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: questioning most times. I think he felt like I think

1715
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 1: he didn't trust the media. Number one. I think number two,

1716
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't always he didn't always believe that they were

1717
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 1: genuine and his skill set wasn't you know, he didn't

1718
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 1: fit in the media, right. He wasn't one of those

1719
01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 1: guys that was a language guy. He could, he taught.

1720
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 1: He was a guy that was kind of quiet and

1721
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 1: he just wanted to play. He wasn't really verbal in

1722
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: the way he expressed himself. But when he did get

1723
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 1: him to sit down and talk to you, MANE one's fantastic.

1724
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 1: He's fantastic. I mean, I remember really sharp. He got

1725
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:16,960
Speaker 1: drafted and I had the opportunity to do a one

1726
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 1: on one sit down interview with him here as a

1727
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:23,640
Speaker 1: rookie when he was drafted, and one on one he is,

1728
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:26,720
Speaker 1: he's fantastic and he you know, notoriously, he was the

1729
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:28,240
Speaker 1: guy at the Super Bowl said I'm just here so

1730
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 1: I don't get fine, and he and I'll tell you

1731
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 1: you want to you want to display it only pushes

1732
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 1: the narrative, right, and you want to just display of

1733
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: self discipline. Those are the only I mean, hundreds of

1734
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 1: questions the only answer he gave was I'm just here

1735
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 1: so I don't get fine. He didn't like expound on him, right,

1736
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:51,360
Speaker 1: but I'm just here so I don't get fine. That

1737
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:55,519
Speaker 1: is it. I mean, it takes a lot of self

1738
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: discipline not to just say no, I'm not going to

1739
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 1: answer that like one time he did. He said that

1740
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 1: exact same thing as many time. Somebody had a count

1741
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 1: on it. I think it was upwards of twenty two

1742
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:09,599
Speaker 1: and then people finally gave up. He finally gave up.

1743
01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. I'm surprised it went that long. So yeah,

1744
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 1: good for good for Marshawn. Good on him. Hey, I'm

1745
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 1: just I was just chuckling at it because just having

01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 1: been around him, in the early part of his career

1747
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 1: here and just just knowing how he is personally, just

1748
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 1: seeing him do that, like it's like, what is this

Speaker 1: seen every throw that Justin Herbert has made. I'm doing

1805
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 1: the games for Buffalo. You don't have You're not going

1806
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 1: to travel here to Orchard Park though this weekend for

1807
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 1: the game. You're gonna do it from LA. I mean,

1808
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 1: what tell us a little bit about Justin Herbert. What's

1809
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:56,800
Speaker 1: been the vibe like since he took over and has

1810
01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 1: just you know, exploded onto the scene. Well, I mean, Steve,

1811
01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't think anybody anticipated you know that a

1812
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:06,880
Speaker 1: he would be on the field as early as he was.

1813
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:09,600
Speaker 1: Is a very unique situation there with what happened with

1814
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: Tyra Taylor. But once he got out there, I mean,

1815
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 1: from having no preparation that first game against Kansas City,

1816
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 1: and he was phenomenal and you thought, okay, well maybe

1817
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:20,439
Speaker 1: this is an instance of he didn't have time to

1818
01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 1: be nervous, and you know, we'll see Kenny Kenny string

1819
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:25,720
Speaker 1: another one together. Once teams had a chance to look

1820
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 1: at him, game plan him, and he just keeps showing

1821
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:31,600
Speaker 1: up each and every week, and the mistakes he's minimizing,

1822
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:33,720
Speaker 1: and you're seeing these strows like the one to Keenan

1823
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: Allen the back of the end zone. Every week, you're

1824
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 1: seeing a handful of plays where you're like, Okay, these

1825
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,559
Speaker 1: are top five quarterback type plays, not all that dissimilar

1826
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 1: from what you guys have seen from Josh Allen with

1827
01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 1: some of the throws he can make. I mean, these

1828
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 1: are two of the bigger, stronger quarterbacks in the NFL

1829
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:51,479
Speaker 1: with tremendous athleticism. So he's exceeded my expectations. I believe

1830
01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:53,800
Speaker 1: he's exceeded just about everybody's expectations of what he's been

1831
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:56,640
Speaker 1: able to do. And what about the job you know

1832
01:36:56,680 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 1: of coordinator Shane steike In and quarterbacks coach Pat Hamilton.

1833
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, these are two guys, you know, that just

1834
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:05,599
Speaker 1: got together in this offseason after Stikin got the job

1835
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 1: permanently and then they brought pepon to kind of take

1836
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: Steiken's old job. What has been their m O with Justin?

1837
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:18,400
Speaker 1: Have they really not been shy about, you know, throwing

1838
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:21,040
Speaker 1: as much as they can on his plate, because I mean,

1839
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 1: it really looks like he's running the show this is

1840
01:37:23,439 --> 01:37:25,880
Speaker 1: not a guy managing a game in any way, shape

1841
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 1: or form. He is leading it. Yeah, and it's a

1842
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 1: little bit different than what we see from the college

1843
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:33,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and making their you know that lead to the NFL.

1844
01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: We feel like we've seen a lot of these like

1845
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 1: red shirt sophomores or true juniors that are you know

1846
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 1: coming into the league. This kid started for four years,

1847
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 1: he went through the whole process, played in the Senior Bowl,

1848
01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:46,600
Speaker 1: had that experience as well. I thought mechanically fundamentally, he

1849
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: was in pretty good shape coming into the league. What

1850
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:53,000
Speaker 1: he needed was somebody to to kind of inspire a

1851
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 1: little more of an attacking mentality. Because at Oregon that

1852
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,680
Speaker 1: had a great run game, great defense, played very conservatively.

1853
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:02,000
Speaker 1: I give I give Shane and Pep a lot of

1854
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:04,000
Speaker 1: credit for not just what they've done with him and

1855
01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:06,519
Speaker 1: getting him to understand the offense. He's a four point

1856
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 1: h student, he's brilliant. That was going to come no

1857
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:10,680
Speaker 1: matter who was coaching. He was going to pick it up.

1858
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,600
Speaker 1: But the mentality switch that they've had with him of

1859
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 1: just being attacking, they're gonna they'll have two or three

1860
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 1: shot plays in every game plan. And I feel like

1861
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 1: he's hit about seventy percent of those down the field.

1862
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 1: But it's just it's a different mindset that he's playing

1863
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 1: with and he was at Oregon. Well, when people look

1864
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 1: at the Chargers record, I mean, they've lost so many

1865
01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:31,439
Speaker 1: close games and we had Tom Toles go on, it

1866
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,160
Speaker 1: is hard to put your finger on. It's not like

1867
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:37,479
Speaker 1: a magic wander just one problem. It's it's something different

1868
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 1: every week. And now Anthony Lynn is adjusting his coaching

1869
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 1: staff on the special team side of things. What else

1870
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 1: or what other things might they do to try and

1871
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:49,559
Speaker 1: get on the other side of the coin for these

1872
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 1: what seemed to be coin flip games. Yeah, I mean

1873
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 1: it's Steven just inability to finish has been the biggest thing.

1874
01:38:55,960 --> 01:38:58,200
Speaker 1: You know, there's it's well documented. The leads they've had

1875
01:38:58,200 --> 01:38:59,639
Speaker 1: in a lot of these ball games haven't been able

1876
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 1: to close it out. And usually you close out games,

1877
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 1: as you guys both know, you close out games with

1878
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:06,960
Speaker 1: your run game and your pass rush, and they haven't

1879
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 1: been able to really do that. And I think you

1880
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: can look at injuries. You can look at Bosa missing

1881
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:13,200
Speaker 1: a couple of games here recently until he just came back.

1882
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: Look at Austin Eckler's injury. Those are big, big pieces there.

1883
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,599
Speaker 1: But you've seen over the last couple weeks in order

1884
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: to train get the pass rush. Now you're starting to

1885
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 1: see him blitz a little bit more and be a

1886
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: little bit more aggressive, which can leave you a little

1887
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 1: bit naked in the back end. So it's a it's

1888
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 1: a given take when you're not getting the rush that

1889
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 1: you'd like to get. So I think I think Bosa

1890
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 1: being back healthy another week, getting his legs underneath him,

1891
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 1: I think the hope is that you'll see that pass

1892
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: rush start to tick up a little bit. We didn't

1893
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 1: get a chance to ask Tom this question, and I

1894
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:43,759
Speaker 1: don't know that we would have got a straight answer

1895
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 1: out of him anyway. But with respect to how the

1896
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:50,840
Speaker 1: draft unfolded this past spring, you know, he obviously knew

1897
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:53,639
Speaker 1: that Cincinnati and Miami, who were ahead of him, we're

1898
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 1: certainly in the market for quarterbacks. I'm just I can't

1899
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: imagine how agonizing it is to hold your water there

1900
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:06,800
Speaker 1: at six when there's a very real possibility that some

1901
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:09,680
Speaker 1: team behind you may leap frog up to four or

1902
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 1: to three to grab one of those guys that you

1903
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 1: like enough that you were fully intending to take at

1904
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: six M. Have you ever had the opportunity to have

1905
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,280
Speaker 1: that conversation with Tom and if so, what what did

1906
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 1: he at least give you in terms of his thought

1907
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:28,599
Speaker 1: processes you know that night? Well, I think I think

1908
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 1: Tom's probably more likely to tell me where he keeps

1909
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:34,439
Speaker 1: the hide key for his house than he would be

1910
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 1: to tell me how he had those quarterbacks stacked up.

1911
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 1: But as somebody who's covered the draft and been involved

1912
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 1: in the draft for a long time, you know the

1913
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,400
Speaker 1: fact that he was patient there, spoke, you know, speaks

1914
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 1: volumes and says he was comfortable with those three quarterbacks.

1915
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:47,800
Speaker 1: We'll never know the order in which he had him,

1916
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 1: but it sounded like to me he, you know, the

1917
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 1: Chargers as an organization were going to be comfortable with

1918
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 1: with any of those three guys. And look, Burrow was awesome.

1919
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 1: He's played great. Unfortunately, you know before he just got

1920
01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:00,519
Speaker 1: injured to has been a little bit up and down.

1921
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 1: That's another conversation for another day with what they did

1922
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday and pulling him out of that game. But

1923
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: Herbert has clearly been the best one. So it all

1924
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:11,240
Speaker 1: worked out great for him. The patients paid off. They

1925
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: ended up getting the best guy, and I look, I

1926
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 1: didn't see that at that way coming into the draft process,

1927
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't know how you can argue

1928
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 1: after watching what he's done that he's been the best

1929
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,000
Speaker 1: of the bunch. Yeah, he's and he's getting a little

1930
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:25,599
Speaker 1: bit of help from Keenan Allen, who leads the league

1931
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 1: with receptions and yards, and the Bills with Steph Diggs.

1932
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 1: Both these clubs come in with a large percentage of

1933
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:34,640
Speaker 1: their passing him going through that one guy. Certainly the

1934
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:36,640
Speaker 1: Bills have spread it around a little bit. But what

1935
01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:40,160
Speaker 1: have teams done to Justin Herbert to try and limit

1936
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 1: how often he can go to Keenan Allen. Well, the

1937
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:46,639
Speaker 1: Dolphins did a good job of it, and they've really

1938
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm surprised we haven't seen more of it, which is

1939
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:50,479
Speaker 1: you saw them they run a lot of out of

1940
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:52,280
Speaker 1: MEBA defense where they're milling around and they don't know

1941
01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:54,000
Speaker 1: if they're gonna bring four or five or six. But

1942
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:56,200
Speaker 1: then they were dropping off and trying to bracket him

1943
01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 1: inside out and try and take away keen Allen at

1944
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 1: least on third downs to be their philosophy, because on

1945
01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:04,519
Speaker 1: third downs there's been nobody better. He's just so good

1946
01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:06,960
Speaker 1: at uncovering. So I think you start to see that.

1947
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 1: The last week was kind of a weird one because

1948
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,760
Speaker 1: the Jets have so many young players back there. They

1949
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:13,120
Speaker 1: tried to play a little bit of a a man early

1950
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: that did not work out, so then they just played zone.

1951
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,280
Speaker 1: And then that's the thing when you've got Keenan Allen,

1952
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 1: not always. And it's the same with digs. When you're

1953
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: watching me see the same things. They can uncover off

1954
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:24,800
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, they can beat at the top

1955
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:26,240
Speaker 1: of the route, and if you want to play zone,

1956
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:29,559
Speaker 1: they're so good with their awareness and just their feel

1957
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: to be able to give their numbers to the quarterback

1958
01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 1: and give you some nice easy throws. And the Jets

1959
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:36,040
Speaker 1: society to play a lot of zone last week and

1960
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: he caught sixteen balls. Yeah, right, have fun with that.

1961
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, Austin Eckler is going to practice. We learned

1962
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 1: that today. I'm guessing he's not a sure thing for Sunday,

1963
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:51,080
Speaker 1: and even if he does play, probably doesn't have a

1964
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:54,680
Speaker 1: full workload. But that is a dynamic that you a

1965
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:58,320
Speaker 1: major dynamic that you're adding to your backfield. How much

1966
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:03,080
Speaker 1: does that force defense is to change their approach with

1967
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: this rookie quarterback. If Eckler's on the field, well, I

1968
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 1: think it helps in a big way. And I think,

1969
01:43:09,479 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 1: you know, like some of the opportunities that they've had

1970
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks because of their vertical passing game.

1971
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 1: You've seen it with or not household names, but Jeron

1972
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:20,320
Speaker 1: Johnson's been able to get deep. Pekey's four three guy,

1973
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 1: you look at Jalen Guid's another four three guy. They're

1974
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 1: able to sprinkle those guys in down the field to

1975
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:26,280
Speaker 1: stretch it out a little bit. Mike Williams can go

1976
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 1: down the field as well. So when you start to

1977
01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:30,800
Speaker 1: expand that defense, there's been opportunities on some draws and

1978
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 1: just dumping the ball off underneath with a lot of

1979
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 1: real estate, and those are the types of plays where

1980
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 1: you've seen Austin Eckler do what you're watching right now

1981
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 1: on the screen, which has turned those into big gainers

1982
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: because he's a you know, he's a space player and

1983
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 1: this offense, as it's throwing the ball as well as

1984
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:47,280
Speaker 1: they have, has created a lot of space underneath that.

1985
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 1: I think you could see Austin Eckler if he's out

1986
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 1: there and if he's healthy, I would imagine even if

1987
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 1: he is to be a little bit limited in terms

1988
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: of the touches, but he makes a lot. He makes

1989
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:57,320
Speaker 1: a lot out of it when you can give him

1990
01:43:57,360 --> 01:44:00,920
Speaker 1: that type of space underneath Chargers. They have been in

1991
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot of close games. They've faced some teams that

1992
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 1: really felt like they needed to score to get back

1993
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:07,479
Speaker 1: into The Denver game comes to mind off the top

1994
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 1: of my head. But why is it that their defense,

1995
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, is ranked twenty eighth in the league, get

1996
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: taken the ball away. They don't get they get notes,

1997
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, they don't get interceptions, they don't get turnovers.

1998
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: Why is that? Well, you know, some of it is

1999
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:25,519
Speaker 1: a little bit philosophically. I mean, this is that that

2000
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 1: that cover three defense, or they want to try and

2001
01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 1: limit exposure to big plays, keep the ball in front

2002
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:32,280
Speaker 1: of your rally and tackle. So there's a little bit

2003
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 1: of a conservative approach. There haven't been traditionally a heavy

2004
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:37,679
Speaker 1: blitz team, you know, as although we mentioned a lot earlier.

2005
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 1: They have done more of that in the last couple

2006
01:44:39,439 --> 01:44:42,280
Speaker 1: of weeks. But to me, the turnovers come when you

2007
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 1: when you're heating up the quarterback, and that has been

2008
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:47,320
Speaker 1: really kind of the biggest issue is finding some type

2009
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 1: of interior pass rush to compliment what Bosa gives you.

2010
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 1: And Melvin ingram as we as we hear week twelve

2011
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 1: didn't have a sack, so that to me has been

2012
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:58,160
Speaker 1: has been a major problem. Chenna Noosu has been a

2013
01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:00,120
Speaker 1: good has got a lot of ability and a lot

2014
01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 1: of tools and has really flashed. But he got hurt

2015
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:06,960
Speaker 1: last week against the Jets, So I think that steve

2016
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,599
Speaker 1: to to answer your question, I just think without the pressure,

2017
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:12,599
Speaker 1: you're not getting the turnovers. It kind of feeds into

2018
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 1: the other. So what is maybe been the strength of

2019
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:18,880
Speaker 1: this defense? I mean, obviously they lost Derwin James, which

2020
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:21,479
Speaker 1: is arguably their best playmaker in the back seven. He's

2021
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:23,599
Speaker 1: lost for the year and they've had to move on

2022
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: without him. You've already mentioned how the pass rush has

2023
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 1: been lacking for a number of different reasons. So who

2024
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:33,559
Speaker 1: has who has kind of stepped up and been the

2025
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:36,839
Speaker 1: lynchpin of this defense to at least hold things together

2026
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:40,080
Speaker 1: well when he's been out there, I think Boss is

2027
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:42,280
Speaker 1: as good as it gets, uh, And that's just not

2028
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:45,479
Speaker 1: only as a pass rusher, but really as an overall player.

2029
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 1: His ability at the point of attack on the front

2030
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 1: side as a run defender is as good as it

2031
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 1: is in the league. As an edge setter, he's phenomenal.

2032
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:54,799
Speaker 1: His effort is great. From the back end. He brings

2033
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:57,240
Speaker 1: a lot of energy. There's no doubt about it. They

2034
01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:00,599
Speaker 1: missed Derwin James and have missed him trem endless league

2035
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: because that energy and playmaking ability that Bosa brings you

2036
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 1: at the front level. You know Derwin James can bring

2037
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 1: that to you at the third level of a defense.

2038
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 1: So they haven't really had an answer for that. You've

2039
01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 1: seen Kenneth Murray's got a lot of speed as a rookie,

2040
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 1: but he's still learning. I still think he's got a

2041
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 1: little ways to go before he can be that type

2042
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:21,679
Speaker 1: of an impact player. But to kind of answer your question,

2043
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:24,479
Speaker 1: that's that's the reason why the record is where it

2044
01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:26,599
Speaker 1: is because I can't give you more names of guys

2045
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:28,680
Speaker 1: that have been impact players on the defensive side of

2046
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,760
Speaker 1: the ball. I want to circle back to one last question.

2047
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:33,519
Speaker 1: Is this season rolled out you guys? The Chargers walked

2048
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:36,600
Speaker 1: onto the field opening day with Tyrod Taylor as their quarterback,

2049
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 1: and I think as you look back and to see

2050
01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:42,519
Speaker 1: what how this is transpired? How did that happen? He

2051
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:46,080
Speaker 1: played one game and then you know, through a fluke

2052
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 1: medical accident, he ended up not starting against the Chiefs.

2053
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:55,320
Speaker 1: What what was keeping Anthony Lynn from starting? Justin Herbert

2054
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 1: day one? Well, I think that a lot of it

2055
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 1: has You guys are familiar with his relationship with Tyrod

2056
01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:04,800
Speaker 1: and haven't had success with him in the past, and

2057
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:07,400
Speaker 1: feeling like this team over the last couple of years,

2058
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 1: turnovers had been the bugaboo. So Tyrod Taylor didn't turn

2059
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 1: the ball over. So you're thinking, if you're gonna have

2060
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:16,439
Speaker 1: a healthy defense, and you're gonna have a healthy Derwin James,

2061
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:19,640
Speaker 1: a healthy Drew Trank, will healthy Chris Harris all year long,

2062
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 1: you feel like, okay, we can be a defensive team.

2063
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:24,680
Speaker 1: We've got it. We've invested in the offensive line with

2064
01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:26,599
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler. We feel like we can run the ball.

2065
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,320
Speaker 1: The formula to win games is don't turn the ball over,

2066
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: and so that's what made sense there with Tyrod. But

2067
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:34,639
Speaker 1: as soon as you know, as soon as he went

2068
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 1: down and then you saw the not only the ability

2069
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:40,120
Speaker 1: of Justin Herbert, but that formula had to change because

2070
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 1: it just been too many injuries on defense and they

2071
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 1: just weren't as good as they needed to be. Last

2072
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 1: one from me, DJ and I know I've talked to

2073
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:51,160
Speaker 1: you before about the tandem of Poyer and Hide in

2074
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 1: the secondary for the Bills. This defense has not been

2075
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,839
Speaker 1: as stout as it has been the previous two seasons.

2076
01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:00,240
Speaker 1: But those two guys are still good. It's been in

2077
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:03,640
Speaker 1: the dial and crossing up quarterbacks, especially young ones. Have

2078
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:08,840
Speaker 1: has Herbert seen a tandem like this who can kind

2079
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 1: of disguise as well as these guys do as a

2080
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 1: tandem thus far this season? I don't think so. At

2081
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 1: the safety position. You know, again, the Dolphins are the

2082
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:20,800
Speaker 1: one team that's given him trouble, and that was because

2083
01:48:20,880 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 1: of a lot of the things they did at the front.

2084
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:25,639
Speaker 1: They milling around. I just called that Amba defense where

2085
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 1: they were just he didn't know where they were coming from.

2086
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 1: And then they were changing up the coverage behind that.

2087
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:32,479
Speaker 1: So you're trying to identify Mike's and trying to identify

2088
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:34,840
Speaker 1: protections and then all of a sudden you assume you're

2089
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:37,280
Speaker 1: getting one coverage and that post snap they could switch

2090
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 1: up the look. But in terms of the safety position, no,

2091
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean I think this is as good as it

2092
01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 1: gets in terms of the not only the playmakers that

2093
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:46,040
Speaker 1: you have there with those two, but just their intelligence

2094
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,639
Speaker 1: and their ability to disguise. So I'm with you, that's

2095
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:49,840
Speaker 1: going to be a big challenge. I do want to

2096
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:52,080
Speaker 1: get your guys take here real quick before we leave.

2097
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 1: Can we get your thoughts here on this app state

2098
01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:57,200
Speaker 1: helmet that they sent me here? I mean, I mean

2099
01:48:57,240 --> 01:48:59,000
Speaker 1: as that thing. What are you doing? What do you

2100
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 1: think though about the because I know they've got it's

2101
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:04,880
Speaker 1: been black helmets for as long as I can remember, right, Yeah,

2102
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,920
Speaker 1: So I've got my this is I load. They sent

2103
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:09,840
Speaker 1: me this. I went and found my old one. So

2104
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 1: this was the Yeah, like that that's kind of the

2105
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 1: more traditional. Like that's traditional. That's pretty good. They went sweet. Yeah,

2106
01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:21,639
Speaker 1: like the page there. I like the white. I gotta say,

2107
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:23,639
Speaker 1: I like the new ones. They look good. They look good.

2108
01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 1: I gotta hey, it's a clean I want to ask

2109
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 1: you your opinion about some of the other quarterbacks you got.

2110
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:32,000
Speaker 1: You've seen that to a tango boloa. Um. Yeah, and

2111
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:36,760
Speaker 1: you've watched Taysom Hill down in New Orleans. Uh, kind

2112
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 1: of a weird dynamic in New Orleans. With Taysom Hill

2113
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 1: and how they're gonna use him. But what do you

2114
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 1: think about tah and how that went last week? Or

2115
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:46,160
Speaker 1: I did not agree with I did not. He didn't

2116
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: play great, but the rest of the offense didn't play good.

2117
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the offensive line. There were

2118
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 1: clean beats up front. They struggled. You had some drop balls.

2119
01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:55,719
Speaker 1: He missed four, four or five throws that you can't miss.

2120
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 1: But Steve, I didn't think he was jamming the ball

2121
01:49:58,120 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 1: in and trying to play in reckless sleep to the

2122
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 1: point where you're like, man, this is just he's not

2123
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: seeing the field. He just missed some throws. So I

2124
01:50:05,720 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: didn't agree with it. I think when you got a

2125
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,000
Speaker 1: young quarterback who's struggling, let him work through it. You

2126
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:11,800
Speaker 1: made this move not just for the short term, but

2127
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:13,559
Speaker 1: for the long term. Let him experience some of this

2128
01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:16,240
Speaker 1: adversity and fight his way through it. I did not

2129
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:17,880
Speaker 1: like the move to pull him out of that game.

2130
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:20,760
Speaker 1: And we got one of your app state kids up here.

2131
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:24,880
Speaker 1: He's on the practice squad, Josh Thomas, the safety who

2132
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 1: I know played strong and free each of his last

2133
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 1: couple of years. I think I think he's a guy

2134
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 1: that he's a guy that's gonna learn under two pretty

2135
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:35,360
Speaker 1: smart veterans. It's gonna be interesting to see where his

2136
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 1: career goes here over the next year or so. That's

2137
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 1: a good place to learn, that's for sure, no doubt.

2138
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:42,240
Speaker 1: He's in a good spot. So we're everywhere. Man, we

2139
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:43,960
Speaker 1: app state. We know we're not having a great year

2140
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 1: this year, but that's okay, we'll be back. I love

2141
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,680
Speaker 1: that at Kim Davis Gaither that came out this pad.

2142
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean that kid can run and hen he can

2143
01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 1: run who he is something. I was mad they Bills

2144
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 1: didn't get a shot at him. He was like he

2145
01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:57,600
Speaker 1: went early day three. I thought he was gonna go

2146
01:50:57,600 --> 01:50:59,559
Speaker 1: even higher. But what's the perception out of the LA

2147
01:50:59,640 --> 01:51:03,280
Speaker 1: about Buffalo What are they thinking? Uh? You know what's

2148
01:51:03,320 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 1: funny is there's I'm in living out here my whole life.

2149
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:09,559
Speaker 1: You'd never really hear people talk about the Buffalo Bills.

2150
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 1: This year. I almost feel like they're they're one of

2151
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 1: the adopted teams. So you have, you know, people in LA.

2152
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 1: It's it's a melting pot people from all over the place.

2153
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:20,080
Speaker 1: But I've been asked more questions on LA talk shows

2154
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: this year about Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills than

2155
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 1: I have. If you combine the previous ten years added

2156
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:26,840
Speaker 1: them all up together, it wouldn't add at a total

2157
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 1: of what we've seen this year. Because they're fun. They're

2158
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Josh is fun to watch. So it's uh, yeah,

2159
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:34,200
Speaker 1: they've gotten a lot more exposure, a lot more fun

2160
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:37,439
Speaker 1: out here folksing on the Bills. Yeah, Daniel, thanks for

2161
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:40,120
Speaker 1: the time. We appreciate it as always. Good luck calling

2162
01:51:40,120 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: this one off a monitor on Sunday, all right, I

2163
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Hopefully we can keep in track of the

2164
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:47,559
Speaker 1: red hat. We have missed a couple of plays this

2165
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:50,920
Speaker 1: year the commercial not realizing we've missed them too. I

2166
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 1: know exactly what you mean, man, Thanks, thanks for the time.

2167
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:56,960
Speaker 1: We appreciate it, man, Daniel Jeremiah from both the NFL

2168
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:00,880
Speaker 1: Network and the Chargers radio network, and um, it's just

2169
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 1: always good to kind of get him breaking stuff down

2170
01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:05,040
Speaker 1: for you. And that was that was good on you

2171
01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:07,920
Speaker 1: to get a thought from him on two or two.

2172
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 1: And you know when he saw him in the Chargers

2173
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:12,639
Speaker 1: Dolphins game a couple of weeks ago, and then obviously

2174
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 1: was paying attention in that Denver game. This week. It's

2175
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:17,639
Speaker 1: interesting too. They took two out. They were down what ten?

2176
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:20,320
Speaker 1: Not even? It was twenty to ten, twenty to ten

2177
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: not oh no, it's twenty to thirteen with two minutes left.

2178
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 1: Was one score. He came in a little earlier. Yeah,

2179
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:29,720
Speaker 1: he had a couple of drives. I think. I don't know.

2180
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what you know. And I get it.

2181
01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna doubt Brian for As. I got a

2182
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:37,640
Speaker 1: lot of respect for him, But that seems like a

2183
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:43,080
Speaker 1: I gets it. Just seems desperate to me. He's trying

2184
01:52:43,120 --> 01:52:45,360
Speaker 1: to win a game. I guess. Yeah, it's not a question,

2185
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:47,840
Speaker 1: there's no question. That's the that's the reason he did it.

2186
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 1: He's trying to win that game. See if your kid

2187
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 1: can win it. Why did you make that? Why'd you

2188
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:57,400
Speaker 1: make that move? If things get tough, you can put

2189
01:52:57,400 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 1: the other guy back in. I don't know yet. Do

2190
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:03,719
Speaker 1: you know what? When I saw that happened, it almost worked.

2191
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: When I saw that happen, you know what it reminded

2192
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:07,320
Speaker 1: me of. It reminded me of the Bills in two

2193
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:11,320
Speaker 1: thousand and five. So the Bills part ways with Drew

2194
01:53:11,360 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 1: Bledsoey after three seasons. It's two thousand and five, they

2195
01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:20,320
Speaker 1: basically appoint JP loss in the starter. Kelly Holcomb's here

2196
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:25,720
Speaker 1: is the backup. It's week two, third quarter, JP struggling

2197
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 1: and he drops into the end zone on a pass play.

2198
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: He's trying to roll out and buy some time. Steps

2199
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 1: steps on the back end line for a safety. And

2200
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:39,720
Speaker 1: by the third quarter of week two he's on the

2201
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:43,760
Speaker 1: bench already. I was like, whoa, Yeah, it's like we're

2202
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 1: two weeks in and you just sat him down. That

2203
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:50,960
Speaker 1: was two thousand and five seasons, Kelly Holcomb, who's the

2204
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:56,280
Speaker 1: head coach? Andy it was, and then it was just

2205
01:53:57,360 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 1: it was a schmozzle. After that, it was a total

2206
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 1: male Yeah, it's yeah, it's like bum Phillips or wait,

2207
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:05,760
Speaker 1: maybe is Wade Phillips? If you got two quarterbacks you

2208
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:09,760
Speaker 1: don't have any Yeah, well we all lived at it.

2209
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:11,439
Speaker 1: Didn't mean to go down memory lane, but that's the

2210
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 1: first thing I thought of when I saw that, because

2211
01:54:13,320 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 1: I was like, man, the kids only played three or

2212
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:17,640
Speaker 1: four games here, like you're already hooking them. I know

2213
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 1: it was we were talking about and now it gets sticky.

2214
01:54:21,680 --> 01:54:25,880
Speaker 1: Read that tweet that you had about Mike Glennon. Oh

2215
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:29,960
Speaker 1: my gosh, let me see it. Hold, it's really true.

2216
01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:33,680
Speaker 1: Uh and it and it comes. Okay. So we find

2217
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:39,000
Speaker 1: out today that Doug Morone down in Jacksonville has decided

2218
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:42,640
Speaker 1: that Mike Glennon, who essentially was the third string quarterback

2219
01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: a month ago, is going to start for the Jaguars

2220
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:48,760
Speaker 1: at quarterback this week. And he's going to replace rookie

2221
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 1: Jake Luton who got basically benched last week because of

2222
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 1: poor play. But he had replaced Gardner Minshew who's still

2223
01:54:57,280 --> 01:54:59,600
Speaker 1: out with a thumb injury. So they bring he decides

2224
01:54:59,680 --> 01:55:04,240
Speaker 1: glenn is going to start this week for the Jaguars. Okay,

2225
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:11,560
Speaker 1: but here's here's the roundabout nature of the cast off quarterbacks,

2226
01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:14,800
Speaker 1: and pay attention here because your head's gonna spend. Mike

2227
01:55:14,920 --> 01:55:21,240
Speaker 1: Lennon got benched in twenty seventeen for Chicago's Mitchell Trubisky

2228
01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:23,240
Speaker 1: while he was playing for the Bears. He had signed

2229
01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 1: to three year, forty five million dollar contract and then

2230
01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:30,560
Speaker 1: the Bears draft Mitchell Trubisky second overall. He gets benched

2231
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:35,520
Speaker 1: for Trubisky in twenty seventeen. Trubisky got benched this year

2232
01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:41,480
Speaker 1: for Nick Foles, who got benched last year by Gardner Minshew.

2233
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:45,760
Speaker 1: And Jacksonville who got replaced by Luton after he got hurt,

2234
01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:49,040
Speaker 1: who has now been benched in favor of Mike Lennon.

2235
01:55:50,160 --> 01:55:54,080
Speaker 1: The Circle of quarterback life. If ever, there was a

2236
01:55:54,160 --> 01:55:58,839
Speaker 1: situation in the NFL, how about that? And Wow, Murphod

2237
01:55:58,840 --> 01:56:00,200
Speaker 1: told me this, and he said it on the show.

2238
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 1: He had heard from one of his cohorts that said, listen,

2239
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:05,560
Speaker 1: if you are looking for your quarterback, you don't have

2240
01:56:05,600 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 1: the your quarterback of the future. And Bills fans can

2241
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:10,680
Speaker 1: relate to this just you know, until they got Josh.

2242
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:14,800
Speaker 1: If you don't have your quarterback, you are obsessed with

2243
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 1: that problem until you get it solved. You are absolutely

2244
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:21,720
Speaker 1: obsessed with getting a quarterback. And you look at all

2245
01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:26,640
Speaker 1: those that circle that you just you know, Chicago, Jacksonville

2246
01:56:27,160 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 1: and all those all five of those quarterbacks that you

2247
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:34,040
Speaker 1: just mentioned, they're still looking. Yeah, both those clubs are

2248
01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:36,960
Speaker 1: still looking and you should. You got it because you

2249
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:40,080
Speaker 1: can't win with without the guy. You need the guy

2250
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:43,120
Speaker 1: in that spot or you never. You might win some games,

2251
01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:45,520
Speaker 1: but you're not going to contend. The fans are obsessed

2252
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 1: with it, the organization is obsessed with it. Hey, we

01:56:48,360 --> 01:56:50,959
Speaker 1: lived it for the better part of twenty years. Man, Yeah,

2254
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:54,680
Speaker 1: that was a long time. It's true, long time. That's

2255
01:56:54,720 --> 01:56:58,960
Speaker 1: a that's a great, unbelievable, great story. That is unbelievable.

2256
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:04,800
Speaker 1: Glennon bench for Trubisky in twenty seventeen, benched for Foles.

2257
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:09,880
Speaker 1: Foles was benched for Minshew. Minshew was has got a

2258
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:13,720
Speaker 1: thumb hurt, so he got he's out and replaced by Luton.

2259
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:20,080
Speaker 1: Luton is now benched in favor of Glenned's outstanding. That's

2260
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:24,640
Speaker 1: pretty fat his outstanding. That's pretty funny. Oh my gosh,

2261
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:27,000
Speaker 1: that is just if you ain't got one, you're looking great.

2262
01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you can't write that any better. And

2263
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:35,280
Speaker 1: it all happened. It's true, It's absolutely true. The only thing,

2264
01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:38,280
Speaker 1: the only fascinating, The only thing is Minshew might still

2265
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:41,200
Speaker 1: be the guy there if he hadn't got his thumb hurt. Yeah.

2266
01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:44,480
Speaker 1: And what complicated that was he didn't tell the team

2267
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:48,720
Speaker 1: about it, like how bad his thumb was, And then

2268
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:50,200
Speaker 1: they're like, what the heck is going on? Why can't

2269
01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 1: this guy hit passes like and he's like, wow, my

2270
01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:55,120
Speaker 1: thumb is bothering me. And then they took X rays.

2271
01:57:55,120 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 1: He had two displaced fractures. In his thumb and he's

2272
01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:02,160
Speaker 1: trying to throw a football, Like, what are you doing? Yeah?

2273
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean I get it. You were a six round pick.

2274
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:07,080
Speaker 1: You're about job security, and you know if you don't play,

2275
01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 1: you may never play again. Got this shot one in

2276
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:11,320
Speaker 1: a million. If you miss it now, you might never

2277
01:58:11,360 --> 01:58:13,080
Speaker 1: get it back. That See, that's a bad place to

2278
01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 1: be because if you're playing, if you're the guy and

2279
01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 1: they they started you in an NFL game, it's because

2280
01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:19,720
Speaker 1: they got a little faith in you. Yeah, and it's

2281
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 1: not your Your busted thumb is they got rid of falls.

2282
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:26,520
Speaker 1: You can't play with a busted thumb. I mean, I

2283
01:58:26,520 --> 01:58:28,720
Speaker 1: can you know how you hold a ball? I could

2284
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:31,040
Speaker 1: cover kicks with a busted thumb, but you can't rip

2285
01:58:31,080 --> 01:58:34,080
Speaker 1: it and rip it kid, run a passing offense with

2286
01:58:34,160 --> 01:58:37,000
Speaker 1: a busted thumb on your throwing arm. I don't know

2287
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:41,200
Speaker 1: how you can't spin it right. You don't have any strength.

2288
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:47,640
Speaker 1: You can't eat let alone. You can barely grip a fork. Yeah,

2289
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:51,080
Speaker 1: but throw a football and run an NFL offense? Yeah,

2290
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 1: what are you doing? All right? We gotta take a break.

2300
01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to be getting over the better

2320
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:24,920

2321
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:28,280
Speaker 1: can never go wrong with vanilla with some chocolate chips.

2322
02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Many Parry's is the best, all right, Levi, We've got

2323
02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:35,200
Speaker 1: ten questions to get to know you a little bit better.

2324
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 1: Some of our fans may not know that you walked

2325
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:40,680
Speaker 1: on at Alabama, you earned a scholarship, then you went

2326
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:43,800
Speaker 1: to a starter and you were a UTFA going into

2327
02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:47,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, got your way on, told the practice squad

2328
02:00:47,120 --> 02:00:49,800
Speaker 1: with the Bills, and you earned yourself a starting spot.

2329
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:53,520
Speaker 1: So what have you learned about yourself through those experiences?

2330
02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:55,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just instilled in me a long time

2331
02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:57,480
Speaker 1: ago just to never give up. That's just been my

2332
02:00:57,560 --> 02:01:00,120
Speaker 1: mindset in my drive. I played football a beginning for

2333
02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:02,640
Speaker 1: my dad to be honest, because he always believed in me,

2334
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 1: and so I wanted to finish out my current Alabama

2335
02:01:04,920 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 1: And when I started getting this ball moving and people

2336
02:01:07,400 --> 02:01:08,720
Speaker 1: were saying that I was pretty good at it, and

2337
02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I guess I'll continue

2338
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:12,080
Speaker 1: to play for a little while. I really just have

2339
02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:14,160
Speaker 1: him at back, you know. And it's been fun. It's

2340
02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:17,360
Speaker 1: been definitely a roller coaster of emotions, for sure, but

2341
02:01:17,800 --> 02:01:19,800
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed every seing a part of it. So what

2342
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:22,920
Speaker 1: is something that most people don't know about you? I

2343
02:01:22,960 --> 02:01:26,760
Speaker 1: started golfing a little bits, a little put put thing

2344
02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 1: going on in my house right now, trying to work

2345
02:01:28,680 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 1: at the little three three foot five foot puts. So

2346
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:33,520
Speaker 1: then when the next off season comes, I'll be better

2347
02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:37,560
Speaker 1: than Title Woods himself. So, oh wow. Who is a

2348
02:01:37,640 --> 02:01:39,920
Speaker 1: Bills player that has taught you a lot since you've

2349
02:01:39,960 --> 02:01:41,880
Speaker 1: been on this team? He retired last year of the

2350
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:44,960
Speaker 1: runs up just how he approach eation every day, Just

2351
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:47,880
Speaker 1: seeing his dedication to the game and how hard he

2352
02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:49,440
Speaker 1: worked when he was on the field, and you know,

2353
02:01:49,560 --> 02:01:52,040
Speaker 1: so just to have that dedication as well as his faith,

2354
02:01:52,240 --> 02:01:53,760
Speaker 1: and just how he was as a father and as

2355
02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:55,600
Speaker 1: a man. I remember when I first got moved up.

2356
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:57,120
Speaker 1: He's one of the first people to text me and

2357
02:01:57,200 --> 02:01:59,560
Speaker 1: congratulate me and tell me, now here's where the real

2358
02:01:59,600 --> 02:02:01,600
Speaker 1: work comes in. To play and take it serious and

2359
02:02:01,960 --> 02:02:04,160
Speaker 1: just have fun out there. You really motivated me and

2360
02:02:04,240 --> 02:02:07,040
Speaker 1: I definitely a thought him. When you reach out to friends,

2361
02:02:07,120 --> 02:02:09,720
Speaker 1: when you're in touch with friends, are you texting them,

2362
02:02:09,800 --> 02:02:13,640
Speaker 1: calling them, facetiming them? What's your go to form of communication.

2363
02:02:14,080 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm more of a FaceTime especially this year with the

2364
02:02:16,880 --> 02:02:19,120
Speaker 1: COVID and the quarantining and stuff like that. I'm in

2365
02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:21,480
Speaker 1: an apartment by myself, so I don't get to see

2366
02:02:21,480 --> 02:02:23,960
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends out regularly see or that

2367
02:02:24,160 --> 02:02:26,280
Speaker 1: come up for games, So just easier for me to

2368
02:02:26,360 --> 02:02:28,480
Speaker 1: reach out to them. It feels more like more connected

2369
02:02:28,520 --> 02:02:32,560
Speaker 1: to them. Speaking of interaction and COVID, over the offseason,

2370
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 1: you posted on your social media for people to like

2371
02:02:35,680 --> 02:02:37,960
Speaker 1: reach out to you, if they wanted to talk, if

2372
02:02:37,960 --> 02:02:41,040
Speaker 1: they wanted prayers. What was your motivation behind that and

2373
02:02:41,120 --> 02:02:44,080
Speaker 1: what were some of the calls or texts that you're receiving.

2374
02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:46,440
Speaker 1: Motivation behind it was just to reach out. You know,

2375
02:02:46,480 --> 02:02:48,840
Speaker 1: everyone was struggling, and I was struggling myself, you know,

2376
02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:51,560
Speaker 1: it's difficult and it's brand new. No one's ever been

2377
02:02:51,640 --> 02:02:54,920
Speaker 1: through this before. The Bills communities specifically does a great

2378
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:57,680
Speaker 1: job would supporting us, so I want to support them

2379
02:02:57,720 --> 02:02:59,720
Speaker 1: as well. Just want to reach out and just checking

2380
02:02:59,720 --> 02:03:02,320
Speaker 1: on people, just see how the mental health was. And

2381
02:03:02,360 --> 02:03:05,080
Speaker 1: there was so many phone calls, so many texts. All

2382
02:03:05,080 --> 02:03:06,880
Speaker 1: in all, it was a great experience just be able

2383
02:03:06,920 --> 02:03:09,800
Speaker 1: to talk to people and just understanding their problems out there.

2384
02:03:09,840 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 1: They were way more significant than mind. You know. It

2385
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:14,800
Speaker 1: just shows the scope of what people really go through

2386
02:03:14,840 --> 02:03:16,720
Speaker 1: and I just try to support them as much as

2387
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:19,760
Speaker 1: I could. I know you are early into your NFL

2388
02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:22,560
Speaker 1: career and I hope you play so many more years

2389
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:25,160
Speaker 1: into the future in the NFL. But have you thought

2390
02:03:25,160 --> 02:03:28,000
Speaker 1: about life after football yet? And if so, what are

2391
02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:31,280
Speaker 1: some of the things that you're looking maybe into going

2392
02:03:31,280 --> 02:03:36,600
Speaker 1: into after you're done with the NFL and after football

2393
02:03:37,480 --> 02:03:40,920
Speaker 1: that's a good thing, then surprising facts I taste before

2394
02:03:41,200 --> 02:03:43,360
Speaker 1: I decided to continue with football, I was going to

2395
02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:47,440
Speaker 1: do pharmaceutical sales and I got my sales certification and

2396
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:49,320
Speaker 1: my business degrees. I don't know if I'm to get

2397
02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:52,400
Speaker 1: back into that per se, but yeah, I have let

2398
02:03:52,440 --> 02:03:54,240
Speaker 1: you know in the future when I when I'm coming

2399
02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:57,120
Speaker 1: closer to that. Have you ever been starstruck by maybe

2400
02:03:57,240 --> 02:04:00,480
Speaker 1: current or former players or even outside of the scope

2401
02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:04,200
Speaker 1: of sports. I think maybe the closest I've had it

2402
02:04:04,320 --> 02:04:06,640
Speaker 1: was when I first walked on to said Alabama's team.

2403
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:08,400
Speaker 1: We went into the light room and I saw Marty

2404
02:04:08,440 --> 02:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Cooper there. I mean, he was already just one of

2405
02:04:10,160 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 1: the best receivers in the nation. To see the way

2406
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 1: that he worked that first day that I walked in there,

2407
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:16,000
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, I have a long way to go. Like,

2408
02:04:16,160 --> 02:04:18,280
Speaker 1: he didn't speak to anybody, he was just over there,

2409
02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:21,160
Speaker 1: locked in. Okay, if I really want to play football,

2410
02:04:21,200 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 1: this is what I have to do. I have to

2411
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:24,240
Speaker 1: follow these guys who have been doing this for us

2412
02:04:24,240 --> 02:04:27,160
Speaker 1: some time now. So do you collect anything, and if so,

2413
02:04:27,360 --> 02:04:30,880
Speaker 1: what is that I collect? Those vinyl records? Still growing

2414
02:04:30,920 --> 02:04:33,280
Speaker 1: my vinyl records as well as my watches. My watch

2415
02:04:33,320 --> 02:04:35,720
Speaker 1: collection has gotten a lot bigger. I'm pretty proud of that.

2416
02:04:35,960 --> 02:04:37,920
Speaker 1: And then hats, and have a wall full of hats.

2417
02:04:38,240 --> 02:04:41,360
Speaker 1: That's awesome. What's your taste of music? I'm a Luther

2418
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:45,320
Speaker 1: Vandros fan through and through. Best for us of all time?

2419
02:04:45,760 --> 02:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Quote me on that just old school music, just seventies eighties.

2420
02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:52,960
Speaker 1: I just love just the instruments that were used back

2421
02:04:52,960 --> 02:04:54,800
Speaker 1: in the day, just high they make the music sound.

2422
02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:57,240
Speaker 1: That's something differently, you know when you listen to us,

2423
02:04:57,280 --> 02:05:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot more work rather than just be some key boards.

2424
02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:03,560
Speaker 1: No last question for you. If you're gonna have some

2425
02:05:03,640 --> 02:05:07,800
Speaker 1: ice cream? What toppings would you put on that? Ice cream? Sprinkles?

2426
02:05:07,800 --> 02:05:10,160
Speaker 1: Every game day? Me and Anthony Everett, who plays for

2427

2428
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:16,120

2429
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:18,440
Speaker 1: I've been doing it since sprinkles and don't call me

2430
02:05:18,480 --> 02:05:20,320
Speaker 1: a big kid. It is what it is. I like it.

2431
02:05:20,400 --> 02:05:24,040

2439
02:05:48,920 --> 02:05:50,720
Speaker 1: want to get to the tweet sheet, which, as you know,

2440
02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:52,720
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving System is the

2441
02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:57,760
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and there

2442
02:05:58,080 --> 02:05:59,720
Speaker 1: is where we've been asking you. How do you feel

2443
02:05:59,760 --> 02:06:03,680
Speaker 1: about the Bill's upcoming primetime schedule, which begins in earnest

2444
02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:06,960
Speaker 1: in week thirteen, when they travel to San Francisco for

2445
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:08,720
Speaker 1: a Monday night game with the forty nine Ers. The

2446
02:06:08,760 --> 02:06:11,600
Speaker 1: following week back home against the Steelers for a Sunday

2447
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:14,080
Speaker 1: night tilt, and then they have a Monday night game

2448
02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:17,400
Speaker 1: against New England and a four o'clock game which is

2449
02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:19,480
Speaker 1: in primetime but it's out of the one o'clock window

2450
02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:23,760
Speaker 1: against Denver on Saturday, December nineteenth in week fifteen. So

2451
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:27,120
Speaker 1: how do you feel about all these primetime games coming up?

2452
02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 1: From Jacob, he says, as a Bills fan in Arizona,

2453
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:31,840
Speaker 1: it will be nice to have a full month of

2454
02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:36,000
Speaker 1: actually watching a full Bills game, So obviously he just

2455
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:39,240
Speaker 1: hopes for the national coverage to get his chance to

2456
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:41,960
Speaker 1: watch the Bills. Yeah, and also from Brady, and this

2457
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:44,040
Speaker 1: is pretty self explainator. I don't care what time the

2458
02:06:44,080 --> 02:06:47,080
Speaker 1: games are in and who watches as long as they win.

2459
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:51,080
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's all I have to say. That's fine,

2460
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:53,680
Speaker 1: that's very straightforward. Jack Kay says, I'm glad we're getting

2461
02:06:53,680 --> 02:06:57,320
Speaker 1: some recognition in Spotlight. Every Sunday at one is old hat.

2462
02:06:57,560 --> 02:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I like night games and four pm ers. That said,

2463
02:07:00,920 --> 02:07:02,520
Speaker 1: I can't go to the games, So I have a

2464
02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:05,880
Speaker 1: lukewarm feel about this year's schedule. I have seasons and

2465
02:07:05,960 --> 02:07:08,560
Speaker 1: would have been at these games if it was going on,

2466
02:07:09,080 --> 02:07:11,360
Speaker 1: and that he was gonna, I was going to San

2467
02:07:11,400 --> 02:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Francisco and Denver. But alas, Yeah, Adam says, here's of

2468
02:07:16,240 --> 02:07:18,720
Speaker 1: complaining about lack of primetime games and now I just

2469
02:07:18,760 --> 02:07:22,000
Speaker 1: want eleven am haha. Disappointed though, head tickets to the

02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Broncos game. There's a lot of people out west, a

2471
02:07:24,840 --> 02:07:27,160
Speaker 1: lot of transplants out west. I know there's a big

2472
02:07:27,760 --> 02:07:32,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Backer's contingent in Denver. I've been to their Bills

2473
02:07:32,200 --> 02:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Backers bar. I think the last time we were in Denver,

2474
02:07:35,200 --> 02:07:38,800
Speaker 1: I think it's called Lotos, and man, there is a

2475
02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:41,240
Speaker 1: big contingent out there. We took a family vague casres,

2480
02:07:57,960 --> 02:07:59,760
Speaker 1: on that rivers. I mean, maybe not where you were.

02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:08,200

2545
02:11:08,280 --> 02:11:10,480
Speaker 1: has gone into the development of the team. They certainly

2546
02:11:10,560 --> 02:11:13,040
Speaker 1: deserve to play on prime time. Maybe all the folks

2547
02:11:13,080 --> 02:11:15,960
Speaker 1: in the national media that beat up Josh and his

2548
02:11:16,120 --> 02:11:18,680
Speaker 1: game can take a second look and revise their analysis.

2549
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:23,000
Speaker 1: That's way more reason than your boy masterpiece theater. It

2550
02:11:23,120 --> 02:11:25,760
Speaker 1: dead kind of in comparison to Buffalo Chris. It is

2551
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:28,920
Speaker 1: masterpiece theater. That's Tiffany's always a good good for a

2552
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:31,400
Speaker 1: well thought out, reasonable tweet, which is why we hardly

2553
02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:34,720
Speaker 1: ever read her read her stuff a lot at time.

2554
02:11:34,880 --> 02:11:37,520
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us when we return, Time

2555
02:11:37,560 --> 02:11:39,880
Speaker 1: for what have we learned? We'll find out if we

2556
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:42,040
Speaker 1: learned anything on this show today. I think we did

2557
02:11:42,360 --> 02:11:44,240
Speaker 1: based on all the great guests we had in the

2558
02:11:44,280 --> 02:11:47,000
Speaker 1: analysis of the Chargers. We're back with that here on

2559
02:11:47,160 --> 02:11:49,880
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's

2560
02:11:50,000 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 1: Radio time for what have we learned? Brought to you

2561
02:12:06,680 --> 02:12:10,320
Speaker 1: by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of the

2562
02:12:10,360 --> 02:12:13,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and Steve. We learned that Austin Eckler is

2563
02:12:13,680 --> 02:12:17,360
Speaker 1: going to start practicing back from a torn hamstring suffered

2564
02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:21,400
Speaker 1: two months ago. And yeah, Daniel Jeremiah, who was on

2565
02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:23,440
Speaker 1: the show with us earlier this hour, said he thinks

2566
02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:26,120
Speaker 1: he could play this weekend, although he's likely to be

2567
02:12:26,200 --> 02:12:28,440
Speaker 1: on a pitch count. Yeah, it takes a long time

2568
02:12:28,480 --> 02:12:30,440
Speaker 1: to climb back into that. I thought. Remember when Andre

2569
02:12:30,560 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 1: had a torn hamstring, same thing, he got his knee

2570
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:35,760
Speaker 1: got hyper extended yet bent in and they got bent

2571
02:12:35,920 --> 02:12:38,600
Speaker 1: and then yeah, and it was it was one of

2572
02:12:38,640 --> 02:12:41,360
Speaker 1: those where it was nothing like a hamst It was

2573
02:12:41,440 --> 02:12:43,280
Speaker 1: self inflicted, you know, kind of when you run. This

2574
02:12:43,360 --> 02:12:45,640
Speaker 1: one was not. It was worse and uh and the

2575
02:12:45,720 --> 02:12:51,560
Speaker 1: results were four more egregious. So he's um congratulation him

2576
02:12:51,560 --> 02:12:53,360
Speaker 1: for getting his way, making his way back in the

2577
02:12:53,400 --> 02:12:55,560
Speaker 1: middle of a tough said he could not move his

2578
02:12:55,760 --> 02:13:00,560
Speaker 1: leg forward for three weeks. Just think about that, like

2579
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:05,200
Speaker 1: physically could not move his leg where his hip is Yeah,

2580
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:09,640
Speaker 1: like that's just that's I think it's serious. And that's

2581
02:13:09,960 --> 02:13:11,720
Speaker 1: he had to get back in shape after that too.

2582
02:13:11,760 --> 02:13:13,960
Speaker 1: I said this yesterday. He's probably got a lot of

2583
02:13:14,120 --> 02:13:16,760
Speaker 1: conditioning issues just to get back to where he can,

2584
02:13:16,960 --> 02:13:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, catch his breath after a play. That's when

2585
02:13:20,320 --> 02:13:22,640
Speaker 1: I got into the thing yesterday about talking about adrenaline.

2586
02:13:22,680 --> 02:13:25,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna be gassed after about two plays in that game. Yeah,

2587
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:27,720
Speaker 1: it's I mean, you could do as much cardio and

2588
02:13:28,360 --> 02:13:30,440
Speaker 1: as you want. It's not like a game the adrenaline

2589
02:13:30,480 --> 02:13:33,520
Speaker 1: kicks in and it sucks everything out of you. As

2590
02:13:33,640 --> 02:13:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, or at least if you don't, we're gonna

2591
