Speaker 1: out the Thurman yesterday. He hasn't been worn since he

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: left in two thousand. Though, No, I'm you know, so

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: it'll be officially retired, but it has been effectively retired

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: for eighteen years. A lot of them half, yeah, a

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: lot of them. Well, who besides Jim and Bruce, who else?

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: And numbers don't care? Oh? Jam they had sent by

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: Warren Andre Reid's number eighty three. I gotta look a

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: think about that. Does anybody worn it? Yeah, Lee Evans,

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: Oh duh, Yeah, of course they have. So. Really they

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: use every number. They use eighty nine, you know, they

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: use eighty nine a lot um. So Thurman's getting this

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: number retired on Monday Night. Coming up on the show

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: today at one o'clock. Kenny Davis his uh, his teammate,

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: his backup, and he's got a lot of thoughts on Thurman.

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I mean he played behind him for all

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: those years. Kenny Davis going to be the leader at

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: the Charge on Monday Night as well, which I think

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: is an interesting inspired choice, don't you makes a lot

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: of sense to me. Those two guys were close and

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: Kenny played a lot for us. I mean for having

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: a guy who's a Hall of Famer in front of him.

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: Kenny saw a lot of important snaps for that team

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: and played extremely well for him. So it was And

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: he's a great dude too, So he's good teammate, good friend,

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: he's good. Yeah, it is very fitting that he's leading

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: the charge on Therma's retirement. He's coming on the show

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: in one o'clocks you're talking about that, and coming up

48
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: at in two o'clock hour or so after practice running

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: another running back, Marcus Murphy, who had some good moments

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: and Sunday's loss in Indianapolis. Marcus Murphy will join us

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: after practice. We hope to hear from the post practice

52
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: podium say that three times, and like did he get

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: our quarterback in there? Dec Anderson coming up at a

54
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: little bit around one forty five two o'clock or so.

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: So that's show. What do you think? Are you ready

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: for the show? I think so. Marcus Murphy in the siddle. Now,

57
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: he was inactive for a couple of weeks, but I

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: think once they start bobbling kicks, they got him back

59
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: in there. He's had twenty returns I think for two

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yard. He's actually playing pretty well. The

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: statistics are pretty good. So, and I liked him. We

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: had him on the show when they signed him, and

63
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: he was pretty articulate. I had as sharp. He was

64
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: sharp as third year in the league, and I was

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: looking for him to do some good things. And I'm

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: glad he's finally get a chance to contribute. So it'll

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: be good to have him on and checking with him

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: after we got him. Actually is during training camp or

69
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: before training camp? Oh? He came to the Bills last November.

70
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: You mean on the show? Yeah, on the show after

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: training camp. I think it was right before I was

72
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: in studio. Yeah, yeah, I was in studio, Yeah, I

73
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: think so signed to the Bills last November. He's got

74
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: ten kick returns for the Bill so far this season,

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: averaging twenty six yards per return. That's pretty good. He's

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: got a couple of punt returns to Marcus Murphy, in

77
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: his third year in the league, spent some time with

78
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: the Saints and the Jets before he came to Jarry

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: to Buffalo late last year. Marcus Murphy gonna be joining

80

00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,800

125
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: or wow, I wish that guy did that. You played

126
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: with him, but you have some interesting thoughts on your

127
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: favorite Thermon Thomas. Yeah, he's Hall of Fame running back

128
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: and he's got all those yards and remember, you know,

129
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: bunches of touchdowns all that. But the memories I have

130
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: a therm were all receptions on the gap on the field.

131
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: They're all touched, not even touchdown receptions. A couple of

132
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: them were. But every time I think about him, there

133
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: was one run that I remember that I've seen on highlights.

134
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: It's against Pittsburgh where he takes the handoff from Jim

135
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: and jumps over a guy right in the backfield and

136
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: then makes sixteen guys miss before he gets tackled after

137
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: like a twenty five thirty yard game. And that was,

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's a phenomenal run. But all the all

139
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: the catches I seemed to and I think I remember

140
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: him is because they meant so much. There was a

141
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: couple of them, one early in the playoff game against

142
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Jim threw one and Thurman jumped up

143
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: and caught it off the top of his top of

144
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: his his shoulder pad caught it up, you know, with

145
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: one arm, pulled it in. It was a huge play

146
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: early in the game. We needed something good to happen,

147
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: the stress release and then we don't have good the

148
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: game was gonna go. We got off to a fast

149
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: start because of Thurman. Another opener in week one, I

150
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: believe of nineteen maybe even nineteen eighty eight his first

151
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: game that would have been that of Money in the

152
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: Night eighteen nine or ninety. He lays out parallel to

153
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: the ground and catches the pass down the sideline against

154
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: the Colts here in what was then rich Stadium. There

155
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: was one one handed reach behind grab at the back

156
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: of his ankles. In New England, the Jim threw under duress.

157
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Jim was going down. He throws it one arm that

158
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: kind of flicks it and it goes out backwards to Therman.

159
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: Thurman reaches around, grabs it off the back of his heel,

160
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: and it set us up so for a game winning

161
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: field goal. We wouldn't have won the game without the

162
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: catch and two Hall of Famers making unbelievable plays, you know.

163
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: And then there was a catch in against the Jets

164
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: in the meadow Lands where he goes up, spins, raising

165
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: three feet off the ground, turns, catches the thing gets

166
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: wasted by James Hage. We actually have that highlight on

167
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: the show. We show it every time we talk about it.

168
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: All the stuff I remember about him are receptions, and

169
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: it was it's a testament to how you know, versatile

170
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: he was, and how a complete a football player he

171
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: was that you know, for me, And I think I

172
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: remember those because they were big, they were they were

173
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: at moments, you know, And I think one of the

174
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: things I learned about that team and from that team

175
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: was that those great players are great because they do

176
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: great things in great moments. Yeah, you know, So it

177
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: was I could go on about therm because there's really

178
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: no end to how how really what a great teammate

179
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: and great great player he was for so, yeah, I

180
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of memories and I can I'll be

188
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: The twenty eighteen Buffalo Bills are out on the practice

189
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: field as we speak outside the ad Pro Sports Training

190
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Center and joining us right now, Bills insider Chris Brown

191
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: from Buffalo Bills dot Com on the practice field. Brownie,

192
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: you're all tooked up there. It must be cold out there. Huh. Yeah,

193
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: it's only getting up to forty three today, and as

194
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, there's always a breeze out here. So when

195
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of coverage up top, you

196
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: got you gotta cover it up. I don't have the cabbage,

197
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: you know, to kind of keep the head warm, so

198
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: I gotta go with a coverage device, gotcha, Hey, tell

199
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: us first and foremost. I guess the main practice question

200
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: all week will be LaShaun McCoy. Today, Sean McDermot said

201
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: he's going to be limited today Red Jersey, no contact.

202
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: I thought that was I thought that was a little

203
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: bit encouraging. Actually, Chris, what do you think and what

204
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: do you see out there? It's a very encouraging sign

205
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: with him now being cleared for practice on a non

206
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: contact basis. What that means is he's already in step

207
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: four of the return to participation protocol. Under the league's

208
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: concussion guidelines. There are only a total of five steps,

209
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: so he's already cleared the first three. He's on step four.

210
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: So the only step that remains is full medical clearance

211
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: to play to practice fully. So there's a you know,

212
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: with it only being Thursday, and know when you have

213
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: an extra day until Monday night's game, I think it's

214
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: a very encouraging sign that in three days time he'll

215
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: be a bleer fully the protocol. I mean, it's not

216
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: a definite, but to be here on the first day

217
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: of practice already participating on a non contact basis is

218
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: certainly encouraging. And I should mention to our viewers and

219
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: listeners that I have the whole rundown of how the

220
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: protocol works in our quick hits from coaches Press conference

221
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: that should be up on Buffalo bills dot com shortly excellent. Yeah,

222
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: he looks good. He looks clearheaded and observant and aware

223
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: of his surroundings, I think, don't you well, yeah, And

224
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: I saw him coming off the plane Sunday night, So

225
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: first of all, it was encouraging that he traveled back

226
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: with the team because sometimes if a player has a

227
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: bad concussion, they don't want them flying, you know, with

228
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: the change in air pressure and the impact that could

229
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: have when you have a brain injury. So, you know,

230
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: seeing him travel home with the team on Sunday night

231
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: was certainly a good sign, you know. So hopefully things

232
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: are going to continue to move in the right direction.

233
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: And just so everybody knows step five, you know, what

234
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: has to happen. First, he has to get cleared medically

235
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: for full scale football by the team doctor, and then

236
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: after that an independent neurological consultant has to check him

237
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: out agree with the team doctor. And then at that

238
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: point he is fully cleared and ready to return to

239
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: play in a game or fully in a practice. And

240
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: one of the ways they do that before they let

241
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: the guy return to full participation in practice like that

242
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: would be tomorrow if everything went as well, is the

243
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: way he feels tomorrow after today, once he can go

244
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: out run around and do physical activity and break a

245
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: sweat and he wakes up tomorrow, doesn't have a headache,

246
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: isn't nause yus or something like that, doesn't have any

247
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: other symptoms because of that, then they take him to

248
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: the next step and he can give it a shot

249
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: full go correct. Yeah, that's right. So after every step

250
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: of this process he has baseline testing, which is done,

251
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, the first step he's allowed it. It's just

252
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: rest and recovery. Step two is light aerobic exercise. So

253
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: after that light aerobic exercise earlier in the week, the

254
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: next day comes in, they do baseline testing. If there's

255
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: no return of any kind of concussion like symptoms, he

256
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: goes to step three, which is aerobic exercise and strength

257
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: work you know, lifting weights, things like that when there

258
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: is extra blood pressure going on because you're lifting weights.

259
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: So after that activity, the next day baseline testing again,

260
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: no return of symptoms. Okay, move on to the next step.

261
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: So here we are at step four and after today

262
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow he's going to come in. There'll be a baseline test.

263
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: They'll compare what is that brain activity is, you know,

264
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: from when he was fine, which they take at the

265
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, and compare it to what his

266
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: you know, responses are and activity is tomorrow morning, and

267
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: as long as he is in line with baseline testing,

268
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: he's got a chance to go to step five as

269
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: soon as tomorrow. But if it's not exactly lining up,

270
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: it may take another day. We'll see. One of the

271
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: other things that obviously one of the other injured players

272
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: we'd like you to check on is Josh Allen. Is

273
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: he out in practice? Standard around watching is what is

274
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: his status for today? He's working on the side right now,

275
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: so you know, he's just working with strength and conditioning coaches,

276
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: going through some conditioning drills. Nothing involved with his arm

277
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: or upper body at this point, you know. And this

278
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: is kind of the thing that you know, I think

279
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: fans don't really get an opportunity to see when there's

280
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: a player on an injured list, but they're able to

281
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: do strength and conditioning work Head strength and conditioning coach

282
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: Eric Siano kind of puts them through the paces so

283
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: that they stay in game shape. Even the players that

284
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: are inactive on game day Sundays, they have to go

285
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: through a workout around ten in the morning where they

286
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: are doing heavy conditioning as the strength and conditioning staff

287
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: rise to replicate the physical demands that happen in a game,

288
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, with within reason to get their heart rate

289
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: and their conditioning, keep it, keep it at a level

290
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: that it needs to be to play in games. So

291
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's what they're dealing with. And that's what

292
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is dealing with right now, as uh. You know,

293
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: he tries to come back from the elbow injury. But

294
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, we know coach already called him out for

295
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: this week's game on Monday, so you know, he's just

296
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: kind of working his way back at this point. It's

297
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: good to see Josh Allen out there running around a

298
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: little bit. In fact, look to me like he was

299
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: somebody just sent him to the corner store for a

300
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: bomb pop or something. There, Chrissy, he just took off.

301
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: Is he there still? That's right? Yeah, Well, Siano looks

302
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: like he's working with him on both sides of the field. Okay,

303
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: he's got a sprint, sprint the sidelines. He's actually going

304
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: to be coming right at us here. I think he's

305
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: got a sprint the sidelines and then he can walk

306
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: or jog the in line, so he's gonna be coming

307
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: right past us here, right into your living room if

308
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: you're watching on ms gee and Corey Bojorquez might get

309
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: picked off here if he doesn't watch where he's going here.

310
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: So one of the other, one of the other guys

311
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: that's injured that does not on the injury reports Sean McDermott.

312
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: He's limping around with a rap on his knee. Any

313
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: word on what happened to him, Yeah, I had a

314
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: chance to talk to him a week or so ago

315
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: when he was really hobbling around. I I was wondering

316
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: if he got clipped on the sideline during a game

317
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: or something, which which we've seen happen from time to time.

318
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: The game's just so fast that even if you're watching it,

319
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: you can't get out of the way in time with

320
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: the speed at which these athletes move. But he said

321
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: it was just a torn meniscus that he had that

322
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: he had to get cleaned up. So I had heard.

323
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: I didn't get it confirmed, but I know he was

324
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: scheduled to have that clean up procedure done, and he

325
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: had a heavy rap on his leg at the press

326
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: conference today and he kind of hobbled up to the lectern.

327
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: So I'm presuming that that cleanup procedure has taken place.

328
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's he's questionable, but I'm pretty confident he's

329
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna be there Monday night. Talking with Chris Brown Bills

330
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Comy is out on the

331
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Bills practice field as practice begins to practice week begins. Hey, Chris,

332
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think he's out there. But

333
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: here's an injury that concerns me. It's Trent Murphy, the

334
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: defensive end who left the game late last Sunday with

335
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: the knee injury hobbling around. I saw I'm hobbling around

336
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Sunday night after the game, and he is out of

337
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: practice today. Listed is week to week. Chances are the

338
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: probably not going to have him on Monday night, I

339
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: would think, huh yeah, I think that's pretty unlikely at

340
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, he's not out here. So the situation

341
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: that we have is who fills the void. It's very

342
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: interesting because their pass rush package that's been so successful

343
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: left to right has been Murphy, Alexander inside with Kyle

344
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: Williams and then obviously Jerry Hughes on the right side.

345
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: You know, So who fills the void on the left end?

346
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: Do they want to leave Lorenzo where he is or

347
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: do they let him rush off the edge and bring

348
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: somebody else on for the interior. Shaq Lawson has kicked

349
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: down inside at defensive tackle in pass rushing situations this year,

350
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: so maybe he's the guy they put inside and they

351
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: let Alexander rush off the edge, or maybe it's Eddie

352
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: Yarborough that gets rotated in something like that. So it's

353
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting to see what that turbo package

354
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: is for them when they put them on the field

355
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: to rush the passers. Yeah, and it'll be interesting to

356
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: see how if this lingers for a couple of weeks.

357
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: No surprise that Kyle and Lorenzo are taking a rest

358
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: day as a veteran day as they always do during

359
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: the week, get one day off of practice. Everybody else

360
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: seems to be bouncing back pretty well on the injury front, correct, Yeah.

361
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: The only exception is Taiwan Jones who still has that

362
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: neck injury. He was listed as week to week last week.

363
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: I believe he's still in that boat this week. So

364
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: that's another return option that's probably out of the equation.

365
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: So in all likelihood, it's Marcus Murphy returning kicks. We'll

366
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: see if he returns ponds or if they elect to

367
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: go with Micah Hide, who tends to be more of

368
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: the ball security type returner on punt returns. Hey, we're

369
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: enough talking about the injured guys, Chris. Let's talk about

370
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: the Aldie ones, including Derek Anderson getting set for his

371
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: second start with the Buffalo Bills coming up here. I

372
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: I came across this stat today, Derek Anderson making a

373
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: second consecutive start, the first time he's starting in back

374
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: to back games since two thousand and sixteen. I would

375
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: anticipate now by the time they line up and play

376
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: on Monday, he's gonna be almost three weeks into his

377
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: tenure in Buffalo. I guess I'm looking for more for

378
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: him as far as familiarity with a playbook and what

379
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: they're trying to do. Maybe they get some pre snap

380
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: motion in the offense. Is that unreasonable to think that

381
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: three weeks is a big difference than a couple of

382
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: weeks in the playbook? Well, I asked coach that very

383
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: question at the press conference. Murph so I miss think alike.

384
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: I asked him, you know, do you think now three

385
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: weeks in that with what Derek has been able to absorb?

386
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: You know that Coach Dable will be able to expand

387
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: the game plan to a certain degree this week, and

388
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: coach was very guarded in terms of strategy, but he

389
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: did say that Derek is coming along well, and he

390
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: said that, you know, hopefully they'll be able to add

391
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more to what they're able to put

392
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: out on the field. You know, it comes down to execution.

393
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: As you know, they're playing one of the best teams

394
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: in terms of execution, So you know, it's a situation

395
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: that I think they're going to have to feel out

396
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: as the week goes along. Not unlike last week, We've

397
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: got a situation where there's got to be that dialogue

398
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: between Dable and between Derek Anderson, what they feel comfortable with,

399
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: what they feel they're executing well, and then finally, you

400
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: know what ultimately stays in the game plan. So I

401
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: think that's the determination that's going to have to be

402
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: made through the course of the week so that it's

403
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: all tied up in a bow and they know what

404
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: they can have and what they don't want in the

405
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: game plan. On Monday night, all right, hey, Chris, thank you,

406
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: all right, you got it. Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo

407
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: Bills Dot com on the practice field the Bills moving

408
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: into the next phase of practice. I think it's good

409
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: signed though. The shady's out there, and as Chris said,

410
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: he's in essentially the fourth step of the concussion Protocol

411
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: and one step away from full clearance. I'm not anti

412
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not forecasting that's whay it's gonna go.

413
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: But that's why he's headed right. He's zipped right through

414
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: four steps. And that's one of the things about Lashaw McCoy.

415
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: No matter what state the team has been in, whether

416
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: it's up or down, he's really been a guy you

417
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: could depend on showing up when he's able to show up.

418
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: He doesn't. He doesn't linger in injuries, don't linger. He

419
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: tries to get back on the football field. He doesn't

420
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: come off the field very much unless he's substituted for

421
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: he's available. He has been really good about that in

422
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: his career here in Buffalo, and I know he was

423
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: the same way in Philadelphia. That's been one of the

424
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: things about him that you really have to tip your

425
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: hat too. As a guy who's one of those thirty

426
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: year old running backs who who is available more often

427
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: than not by a large margin, and the guy's always there. Yeah,

428
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna eat updates and follow the updates

429
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow and Saturday. But we'll see. I think it's trending

430
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: in the right direction, at least for Lashawn McCoy. What's

431
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction is Thurman Thoma's gonna have

432
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: his number retired. We want to know from you your

433
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: favorite Thurman Thomas memory, either on or off the field.

434
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: Give us a call at eight oh three h five

435
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

436
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 1: five fifty. Let's take a call, Bob and Elma. Go ahead, Bob,

437
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hi, guys, I'll just try to

438
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: make this quick. I have a little different perspective than

439
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: anybody else on Thurman. I believe back in eighty eight

440
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: there was only one day for the draft, so I'm

441
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: going back. But I was in a Chicago airport and

442
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: I was watching the draft and it was coming up

443
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: to the second round. We didn't have that first round pick,

444
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, what are the Bills gonna do when

445
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: they get to their pick, Well, they take Thurman or

446
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: won't take so I ended up taking them. I think

447
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: that was on a Saturday, and on Monday he ended

448
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: up showing up in my mom driveway to see my sister.

449
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: And all these years later they got married whoa and

450
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: had four kids. Oh you're Bob Maryocker. Yeah okay. And

451
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: on top of being a great player in Hall of

452
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: Fame football player, he's been even a better brother in law.

453
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, cool, I'll tell you what, Bob, thank you

454
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: for calling. That's awesome. And I know and I've had

455
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: obviously had a chance to meet all the Marryockers. Well

456
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: I think I've met all of them. There's a ton

457
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: of them. But but it was it was interesting. People

458
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: have come to find out that, you know, Thurman married

459
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: a Buffalo girl and they think, wow, he's you know,

460
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: it was nice that he came here and met his

461
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: met his bride to be. They met at Oklahoma State. Patty.

462
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: His wife was a great golfer and she was on

463
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: the golf team there with another female golfer from here

464
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. They went to Oklahoma State. That's where they met.

465
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: They met Thurman and they dated and and all through

466
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: college and it ended up the one NFL team who

467
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: drafted Thurman was the one where she was from. And

468
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: it was in her backyard. And the rest is you know, coincidence, coincidence.

469
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah it is, and it's uh, it's been

470
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: I think it's been great for for everybody involved, No question,

471
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: it's been fun for Buffalo for sure. Your favorite Thurman

472
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: memory on the tweet sheet, Tim Donovan tweets in the

473
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: Raiders championship game to get to the first Super Bowl.

474
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: Could not believe the beat the Bills were beating up

475
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: on them. Loved it. It was the fifty one to

476
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: three game. There was a lot of game. Thurman scored

477
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: the first touchdown in that game. No, James Lofton did,

478
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry Thurman scored uh, I think the second one

479
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: and got hit just as he got in the end zone. Yeah,

480
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: that was a fun game. I was, and it was.

481
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, a fifty one to three

482
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: you think, wow, I was a laugh. We didn't know.

483
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: You didn't know, We didn't know it was gonna go. Well,

484
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, you don't know how good it was gonna

485
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: it was as a championship game. The Raiders were good team.

486
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: They were a really good team with a couple of

487
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Hall of famers on their roster, with a Hall of

488
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: Fame a guy as a player, was a Hall of

489
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: Fame coach, and Art Shell. They had some guys and

490
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: and they came out and I think they scored first

491
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: even I think they got like a three to nothing lead,

492
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: I think. And then you know, Jim and Thurman and

493
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: Andre and James and Can all those guys took the

494
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: field on offense, and it was a first drive like

495
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: nobody's ever seen. It was like bang bang bang bang.

496
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: And then Jim drops the snap on the touchdown pass,

497
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: picks it up and hits James Lofton and we're up

498
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: seven nothing and it was on and uh, I it

499
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: was an unbelievable game. It was as I probably I

500
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: don't know I even checked this out. I haven't even

501
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: remember Hurt hearing that. It's probably the most lopsided championship

502
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: game in in AFC history. But it was a surprise.

503
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: Even so, it was a surprise. They were a good,

504
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: good football team, and we didn't know if we were

505
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: gonna be able to beat him. We we just beat

506
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: him once in the regular season and thought, wow, it's

507
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough game. And uh and it

508
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: ended up like that. Here's a call from Mike and

560
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't a Steve task Show. It was I think

561
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: my name was in it. But it's like a long dude,

562
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: it was like thirty years it was. It was like

563
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: thirty years ago. I would take it on Thursday nights,

564
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: you men at thirties, twenty eight Thursday's right, then we

565
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: take it every Thursday something like Wednesdays. I think, yeah,

566
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's go to Mike. Mike, are you

Speaker 1: I am back. Thanks. So back in the day, as

569
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: I said, me and a couple of guys would go

570
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: to uh the game all day and then we'd go

571
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: to gyms after in Barton in the basement and Thurman

572
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: that there was a room behind the bar there that

573
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: we'd go back and he had stocked back there. Well,

574
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: there was a refrigerator back there, and of course the

575
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: minute we got back there, we'd opened the fridge and

576
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: there everything was in there from the Kelly's tailgate party, okay.

577
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: And we would sit back there and Thurman would come

578
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: back and we would eat the sandwiches and the potato

579
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: salad and stuff. In the three there was three of

580
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: us in Thurman and we would just sit there and

581
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: just sitting out we just watched him out there. But

582
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: it was hysterical as in watching the superstar sitting there

583
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: just eating away. The four of us back there eating

584
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: the cowgate after a game. Yeah. Those uh yeah, Mike,

585
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: that's right. And they have the parties at Jim's had

586
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: had a kind of probably a bigger reputation than they deserved,

587
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: but they were they were important, they were important, um

588
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: and they Yeah, it was critical. It was we have

589
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: to go. It turned yeah, it turned in. It turned

590
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: into something really important for that team. And I think

591
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 1: some of the people who are lucky enough to kind

592
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: of stop buying. And there was a lot of people,

593
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: Um My mom and dad had gone to one or

594
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: the two of those. I had college buddy, you know,

595
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: because Jim was like that. I mean, he had this

596
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: party at his house and you'd always say, hey, man,

597
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: I I can't come over tonight because I got like

598
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: my college buddies are in town and where we want

599
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: to go out. He goes, no, No, he goes, bring

600
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: them too. They're all bring If you can't come because

601
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: of them, bring them with you. And that's the way

602
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: it was. And so that's why that team became bigger

603
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: than than probably the some of its parts. A lot

604
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: of people felt like they were invested in it, and

605
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: the players played like they were playing for more than

606
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: just themselves. It was it was, it was important, and

607
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: it was kind of neat. Yeah, hey we're talking about Thurman.

608
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: He's getting his number retired on Monday night. We want

620
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots on the Monday night. Thurman Thomas

621
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: gonna have his number retired at halftime. See if I

622
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: stayed up and watched the World Series last night, I'm

623
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: paying for it right now. These games go late, go along.

624
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: But it's been an interesting series. My wife said to

625
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: me this morning, who are you rooting for? I said, nobody,

626
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: a trick question. I'm not room for anybody. And why

627
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: are you watching the games? Because I like baseball? But no,

628
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: it's been an interesting series. The Red Sox are really

629
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: good and the Dodgers are pretty good too. I would

630
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: I would ask you, this is baseball one of those

631
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: sports where and I don't know football is or not.

632
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm because that a lot of people watch just because

633
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: they like the sport rather than having a rooted interest,

634
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: Because it seems like to me, football is one of

635
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: those you don't watch unless you have a rooting interest.

636
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, though, I watch a lot of football

637
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: that I don't know. Yeah, I watch football, I don't

638
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: have a rooting interest in mostly for college search West College.

639
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm in college too. Yeah, but that's that's different. And

640
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: we watched We watch it for work all the time.

641
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I watch game tape all the time. But yeah,

642
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't watch I don't. I watch college football because

643
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. I guess I wish I watched more

644
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: college football. I just don't have enough time. So you

645
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: asked me, why why don't? No, I don't have a

646
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: rooting interesting. Yeah. Do you think a lot of people

647
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: watch baseball because without a rooting interest? I think some do. Yeah.

648
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: The ratings are good. I read you know you're getting

649
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: uppared to what I'm well, not compared to pro football obviously,

650
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: but compared to most other sports. World series readings are good. Yeah,

651
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: that's good to know. That's good to know. Trust you

652
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: bless your heart. That's basically what you say, bless your heart.

653
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: They're trying really hard, all right. I'm not gonna I'm

654
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: not trying to sell you out, and I'm just saying

655
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: it is interesting to me, and I think too many

656
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: people to watch the World Series. It's you know series,

657
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, and it is and hey it's a

658
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: world championship in a major sport. Yeah, you gotta, you

659
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: gotta people like you and I me included, should care. Yeah,

660
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: so I'll try and dredge up some passion for it.

661
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: Call here from Brian and Buffalo. Hello, Brian, go ahead,

662
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. How you doing, guys? Oh? Good?

663
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Well I might ask what do you think? Because j

664
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: Kelly there is around here? Do you think there's any

665
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: chance that the Bills that could pick up Chad Kelly?

666
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: I kind of doubt it, I really do, Brian, I, um, yeah,

667
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: not at this point. I don't think they they I

668
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: mean that would be an offseason move for me. I

669
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: don't think they want to throw another log onto the

670
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: fire of what is the quarterback? You know, kind of

671
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: mess they're in right now. Josh Allen's heard Jerry Anderson's

672
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: trying to keep his head above water and getting more

673
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: and more of the offense under his belt. And Nate Peterman.

674
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty sure that they don't want to

675
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: put Nate Peterman back in the game for his own sake,

676
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: let alone the team's sake. And there's a lot of

677
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: sentiment outside this building that as soon as Josh Allen

678
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: is healthy one hundred percent, Nate Peterman may be released

679
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: now then that may open the door for him to

680
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: bring in another guy and look at I think the

681
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: most you could hope for if you're Chad Kelly fan,

682
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: is that the Bills bring him in, work him out,

683
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: to see how he's doing, See what kind of athlete

684
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: he is, see what kind of army he's doing. Talk

685
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: to him about the problems that he's had, the reasons

686
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: for his release from Denver, and talk to him about

687
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: what it means and what happened and what he's learned,

688
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: and see if you can get a look in his

689
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: eye or whatever, if he can sell himself, and they'll say, Okay,

690
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: if if we're going to sign a quarterback, you'll be

691
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: on our list to do that. I think a lot

692
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: of teams probably will do that, particularly given the fact

693
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: that he won the backup job in Denver. Do you

694
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: think any other team, though in the NFL would give

695
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: him a chance? I'll bet you there's yeah, I probably Look,

696
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: you know, you probably don't care what I think. Right,

697
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: first thing that's got to happen is Chad Kelly's got

698
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: to pull himself together, right, He's got to get himself

699
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: together before any team, including the Bills, take a look

700
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: at him. I got to pull himself together. And then

701
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: he's got to prove that he's done that. Yeah, they

702
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: can't just like decide that, Yeah, I'm going to be

703
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: a different from now on. That's you should be. But

704
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, what good is it unless you can find

705
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: somebody who's gonna hire you. If his name is Chad Jones,

706
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: you think we'd take one call about him. No, I

707
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: don't either. I don't know. I bet we would. I

708
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: bet we would. If he was a ub kid who

709
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: had who had a run, if he had if he

710
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: had the same kind of run, if he was a

711
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: local kid who made his way to the backup role

712
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: for an NFL team after beating out a first round

713
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: draft pick talent, Yeah, we probably wouldn't take a one

714
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: or two calls. But let's face it, there is some

715
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: interest about him because of his history and his family

716
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: and Jim and and plus, for whatever it's worth, he's

717
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: he's traveled the rocky road. I mean by his own doing,

718
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: no question. But people want to hear about that. They

719
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: want to hear stories of redemption. They want to hear

720
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: stories of guys who overcame themselves. Plus, I mean we

721
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: still hear about Ryan Leaf and how he's done it.

722
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: People want it. People want to see people who are

723
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: doing worse than them. Here's Ryan and Lancaster. Go ahead,

724
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 1: and Ryan, welcome to the show. Hey John, Hey Steve,

725
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: how you doing okay? Well? Good? I wanted your thoughts

726
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: on the Bill's coaching staff and the ability of them

727
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: to translate Nate Peterman's skills. Uh, you know, I'm looking

728
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: at the two games that he played in on the

729
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: road last year, San Diego and also the Minnesota game,

730
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: and I'm just wondering, you know, Minnesota, where on the

731
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: second Minnesota win? What are you? What game are you

732
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: talking about last year with San Diego and this year?

733
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you're not Minnesota. Baltimore. Okay, that was this

734
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: year Baltimore, Right, last year San Diego, this year game

735
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: in there too, last year December somewhere, right. I just

736
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: don't know if that's if he's been given a fair shake.

737
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know his skills are not up to

738
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: what Josh Allen or a premier quarterback would be, But

739
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, isn't there a way obviously has trouble

740
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: throwing the down and out patterns. Isn't there a way

741
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: that you could go through a game with him at

742
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: home without calling those It seems like they don't have receivers.

743
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: And he hasn't gotten a fair shake. Well, here's the thing.

744
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: I am stunned how he calls over the last week

745
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: we received with that theme. He hasn't gotten a fair shake.

746
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get a fair shake. He throws it away,

747
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: he throws it the other team. You can't keep doing that.

748
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: He keeps doing it. If you can't live like that,

749
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: ron if he's if here's the thing, He's not going

750
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: to get the same kind of shake that Josh Allen

751
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: does because they don't have the assets invested in his

752
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: career that they do. He's a fifth round draft pick

753
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: that yet they got in the draft last year and

754
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: the simple fact of the matter is Josh Allen is

755
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: has a better arm, more upside, more physical abilities. And

756
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: here's the thing that everybody forgets and we keep forgetting.

757
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman is almost as young as Josh Allen. He's

758
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: only had a couple extra He's had all that last

759
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: year to sit and watch Tyrod Taylor do this. And

760
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: we have higher expectations because we see a guy like

761
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes sitting behind a guy like Alex Smith and

762
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: come in and start lightening it up. As though that

763
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: year on the bench was the complete difference maker for

764
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. I don't know if that's the complete difference maker,

765
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: but it certainly had to help. Nate Peterman had that

766
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: same period to sit behind a quarterback who's a starter

767
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: and learned from him, and now he and he's flamed

768
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: out every opportunity he's had the chance to get in there,

769
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: except for maybe the Snow game, as you mentioned, Murph,

770
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: which was I mean, how do you even get anything

771
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: done in that game? It's an impossible evaluation process. But

772
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get game after game after game after

773
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: game to prove he's either a thumbs up or a

774
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: thumbs down. Guy. He did a wonderful job earning the

775
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: trust to the coaching staff back in the off season

776
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: of learning the offense, acclimating spending time with Brian Dayboll,

777
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: becoming an expert on the offense as much as he could,

778
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: playing well in preseason games. But every single time they

779
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: have plugged him into a start, he has flamed out

780
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: and he's turned the football over him. Now, I don't

781
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: even care that he like just can't complete half of

782
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: his passes, or if he if he doesn't throw the

783
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: football to open guys or whatever. The thing he does

784
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: that you can't put him back in there for is

785
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 1: throw so many interceptions. And not only that, he throws

786
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: pick sixes. You cannot have a quarterback in the NFL

787
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: who does that. And he does it. Not only does

788
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: he do it, he does on a regular basis, so

789
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: that whatever opportunity he has had, he's just about to

790
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: the end of whatever opportunity he has left. I would

791
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: think we're gonna take a break, come back, talk more

792
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: about Thurman. Your favorite Therman Thomas Memory says, the Bills

793
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: get set to retire his number. We'll do that when

794
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: we return one Bills Live from one Bill's Drive. This

795
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio One, Bal's Live, John Murphy, Steve Tasker. Monday,

796
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: they're going to retire Thurman Thomas's number thirty four inside

797
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: the new Airfield. I want to know what you think

798
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: about Dad. Want to get your favorite Therman Thomas memory.

799
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight oh three oh five or

800
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: twelve three one eight eight eight fifty two fifty, John

801
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: Murphy and Steve Tasker, Let's go to Charlie and Buffalo Charlie,

802
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you have? Hello, Stephen?

803
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: How he's doing in? John? How he's doing good? Good?

804
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: What I'll remember about Thurman Thomas, because we lived through it,

805
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: all of us, all you guys up there too, is

806
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: that when he came out of Oklahoma State, Barry Sanders

807
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: sat the bench two years because of him. He learned

808
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: to run the past patterns and become a great all

809
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: purpose back by doing so. But he appeared in a

810
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: lot of playoff games. He four Super Bowl appearances an MVP,

811
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: and back in the days when Dan Marino and the

812
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: guys were together, we had a winning record against them

813
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: and he was a big factor. And I gonna put

814
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: him up there is probably the best running back that

815
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: played with the Bills. I'm O. J. Simpson, Cookie Gill

816
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: kiss people, but because we won a lot with him,

817
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: I gotta say he's probably the best back we had

818
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: in football. And that's all I got to say. Guys.

819
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: Thanks Charlie. You're right, Charlie. There's been great running backs

820
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: who played here over the years. You mentioned them, and

821
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: Thurman's at the top of the list, not just because

822
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: of the yardage, but because of the impact he had.

823
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, and the fact that he did so

824
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: many things so well, and he won games and was important,

825
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: played an important role in so many games, doing so

826
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: many different things. I mean, some guys, you know, you

827
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: think of Adrian Peterson being running the football and stuff.

828
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: Thurman did that as well. I think the guys catching

829
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: the football, Thurman did that as well. He was a

830
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: physical runner and he and you can see in some

831
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: of the highlights we show on MSG, he had some

832
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: he had great speed. We'd split him out wide on

833
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver as well. So he did absolutely

834
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: everything well. And I know too that you don't ever

835
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: see him do this, but because it's not a highlight

836
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: for him, but maybe if you look at Jim Kelly's

837
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: highlights or somebody else's highlights. You'll see Thurman stepping up

838
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: and picking up blitzers. Yeah, I mean he did that too.

839
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: He's a really willing blocker and that, you know, there's

840
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: not too many Hall of Famers that you can say

841
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: that for. He was great at that the tail end

842
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: of his career. Tim and West West Side of Buffalo

843
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: some thoughts on this time. Go ahead, good afternoon, guys.

844
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: I just kind of stole my thunder because I was

845
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna say Thurman transformed the running back because they want

846
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: the fact that he not only ran the ball but everything.

847
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: Steve just said, yeah, he could catch it, he could block,

848
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: and but I had to think about that for a

849
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: minute because my most memorable moment was when he couldn't

850
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: find his helmet at the Super Bowl. Yeah right, And

851
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: but anyway, I got a question about Monday Night. How

852
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: come they won't flex the Monday night game because I'm

853
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: gonna be embarrassed to have the building and get tom

854
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: come on, pick up, pick up the come on pick

855
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: don't don't be down spirited there. They they're not gonna

856
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: flex that game. You gotta they don't flex. Mondays Sundays,

857
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: have a little faith. I always got faith. But but

858
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: they don't. But you don't. You're worried. You're man worried

859
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: about getting embarrassed. I don't think they're gonna get embarrassed

860
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: next time. I appreciate it time. Um. You know how

861
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: that's why we'll do with the show and we'll each

862
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: get a text, or one of us to get a

863
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: text comment from Thurman listening. Yeah, I think he's listening today. Yeah,

864
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: I do too. Yeah, and I was just thinking about

865
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: his comment about the helmet. Yeah, let me see nothing

866
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: from Thurman yet. I anticipate we'll get on I say,

867
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: I anticipate it'll be a text message that we probably

868
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: will not be able to read on the air. He'll

869
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: make sure that. But yeah, it's interesting. You know people

870
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: always say it's a big It used to be a

871
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: big thing, even when I played UM, and particularly in

872
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: this day and age when everybody has a voice in

873
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: social media is so big. And you know, if a

874
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: player wants to know if people are talking about him,

875
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: always to do just pick up his phone and see. Uh.

876
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: And they always ask do you read the stuff about you?

877
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: And some of these guys say, nine never read any

878
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: of that stuff, and I never hear listen or any

879
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: of that. Let me tell you something that's all bogus.

880
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: You listen and read everything that they say about you. Yeah,

881
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: and you may it may not bother you, it may not,

882
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: but you need you feel like you need to know,

883
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: you know what. Doubt your predecessor, Donald Jones to say

884
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: his family would listen to everything and read everything and

885
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: let him know what was out there. Did that happen

886
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: to you as well? Some Yeah, I was aware of

887
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: all of that. But your stuff was all good though, right.

888
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: Nobody ever said most of it until I until even

889
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: a bonehead, at which I did a couple of times.

890
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: I'd hear about that. But it was a different world too.

891
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: There's no Twitter, no face, no social media at all,

892
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: so you know it was it was pretty quiet unless

893
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 1: they made it to the paper or on the news.

894
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: All right, I gotta ask you, and Denman probably wouldn't

895
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: like this, but your memories of Super Bowl twenty six

896
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: started the game, Derman sat in there where we realized

897
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: I was on the sideline. Where did you have the helmet?

898
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: Where did you put it? I'm stuck it underneath the

899
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: bench down the far end. Away from where he stuck it. No, No,

900
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: I didn't um as it came out, and I didn't

901
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: know until the thirty for thirty came out what really

902
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: happened to it? And it was it was the you know,

903
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,479
Speaker 1: it was the musicians that came out pregame who's played,

904
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, different songs and stuff. Harry Connick Junior and

905
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: one of his you know, they was in the way,

906
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: so they moved it. And of course they didn't It's

907
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: just a helmet. They didn't figure anything would happen. And

908
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: then you know nobody could find it, and you're aware

909
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: that he was no idea. I had no idea I

910
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: was covering. I covered the opening kickoff or returned the

911
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: open I was the kickoff return team at the opening kickoff.

912
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,600

Speaker 1: way on the first play, and uh, he said he

924
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: would have gone. You know, it would have been gone

925
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: had he run the right how he run the right way,

926

997
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: at a lot of that stuff. You know, it was incredible.

998
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't think people really realized what all he

999
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: did and what all we did as a team. I

1000
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: think I think that sometimes they're gonna looked been lost

1001
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: in the shuffle. But he's a phenomenal athlete and he

1002
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: did phenomenal things for the Buffalo field and it was

1003
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: a pleasure for me to play with him and have

1004
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 1: the opportunities to back him up. Yeah, talk a little

1005
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: bit about your relationship. You guys were really close and

1006
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: you came over to the team at a time when

1007
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: Thurman was a little bit entrenched there, and you guys

1008
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: really became close friends, and you had some moments as

1009
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: important as any that Thurman had at times. I mean,

1010
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: you were really asked once in a while, not all,

1011
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: not as all from the Thurman, but you were asked

1012
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: once in a while to really help that team win games,

1013
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: and you were up to it every time. Well, you know,

1014
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: I can't think what it was is that I look

1015
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: at our teammates them be led by examples. That's what

1016
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: he did. He led by example. He didn't leave with

1017
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: his mouth. He led by example. So and Elijah Pits

1018
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: I always told me, he said, you know what, You

1019
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: never know when your opportunity is gonna come on that field.

1020
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: He said, you gotta always be ready to go. I

1021
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: think you gotta be ready to go in practice. You

1022
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: gotta be getting ready to go game day, you know.

1023
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: And I think that's what I look at. I think

1024
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: that Many's Thimon just got to the standpoints say hey,

1025
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: no matter what, he was gonna be ready and I

1026
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: was gonna be ready, and whatever happens happened. Kenny. Sometimes

1027
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: when guys are playing the same position and guys are

1028
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: capable backup guys are capable like you certainly were, there

1029
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: might be a little bit of animosity, like you know,

1030
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: I wish I could play, or I wish I got

1031
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: that many stamps. Never seemed to be the case with

1032
00:50:58,040 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: you in Thurman. You both seem to have seemed to

1033
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: be pretty comfortable with each other. Are there in the

1034
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: role that you each played. Well, I think that most

1035
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: of all about all of it, we respected one another.

1036
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: I respected him as a starter, he respected me as

1037
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: a backup. But I think most part about all of

1038
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 1: it that we have to learn we've been blessed about

1039
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: God to have had the opportunity to play as a

1040
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: game and it was. It was a fun game. It

1041
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: was a fun game to play, a good team to

1042
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: be on. It was not only it was a fun game,

1043
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: it was a great team. It was a great community

1044
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: there in Buffalo that was following you. It was great

1045
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: people in that area, you know. I just I looked

1046
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: back at the sands and I think about all the

1047
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: fans up in the stands, all screaming in Holliday and

1048
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 1: people got chuck old on the bottom of the stands

1049
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: and stayed one and watch us play these games. You know,

1050
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: there was lad of fans. And I think that that

1051
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: kind of trickled down to us as a team too.

1052
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: I think that, and then it kind of trickled up

1053
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: to them as fans also to be law and I

1054
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: think that's what it made it work. Yeah, and talk

1055
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: about the fans. I mean, you're gonna come up and

1056
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: lead the charge. You're gonna be on top of the

1057
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 1: tunnel waving a flag as the team takes the field

1058
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: on the night when your friend gets his jersey, retire

1059
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: to talk about the fans and the home field advantage

1060
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: that was so prevalent and still is prevalent. Oh man,

1061
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: it's this phenomenal. I think that for the fans to sell, well,

1062
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: sometime three hours or hours you're gonna game kick off.

1063
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: You know, you're telling me that these these people aren't here.

1064
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: You know that that's great fan back. No matter what,

1065
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody says. I tell them all

1066
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: the time. I don't think there's no play of fans

1067
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: that in Buffalo Bills. And and for one thing, they're

1068
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: the same way when you see them in the grocery

1069
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: store they said, hello, mister Dave, was a nice game. Hello,

1070
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: such and such a nice game. I think that when

1071
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 1: you can talk walk into the same community with these

1072
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: people and they sit down and they respect you, and

1073
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: they tell you high and hello, when all that in

1074
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: great game and fetch you on the back. All you're

1075
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: sitting in the bar and they decide they want to

1076
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: buy you a drink. You know, it's it's a lot

1077
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: of things like that little bit of things. I think

1078
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that the public don't

1079
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: see but means so much. Means so much to me,

1080
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: as in my past with being a Buffalo field on

1081
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: the line with Kenny Davis former Bills running back back

1082
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: up to Thurman Thomas who was going to be the

1083
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: leader of the charge Monday Night when the Bills take

1084
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: on the New England Patriots. Nine years in the NFL

1085
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: six with the Buffalo Bills. When you came here from

1086
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Kenny, did you know what your role was

1087
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 1: gonna be? M Thurman had been here one year? Did

1088
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: you figure you were going to be his backup? Is

1089
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: that the way you saw kind of working out here

1090
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: on the thing that I knew when I got to

1091
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo was that Bill Polly and mob leaving and Elijah

1092
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: pitch and was giving me an opportunity to play, and

1093
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: and and and the one thing Eli always said to

1094
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: me that your ability speak for itself. Your ability speak

1095
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: for itself. I think that what it was with Um

1096
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: and I thankful he was a great back. Yet, yeah,

1097
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: I already established his steps of one and on forms

1098
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: when I got there, and so I understood that and

1099
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: I respected that. He's a Texas I'm a Texas. Get

1100
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: do you feel for the team? I'm heel for the

1101
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: for the team I'm not. I'm not six and getting

1102
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: squawking about BOOSTA. No, I should be star and I

1103
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: should be playing. That's not what it's all about it.

1104
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: There's no I in team. Yeah, you had that. You

1105
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: were one of the few guys as well. And actually,

1106
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, it happened to me too.

1107
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: We had a lot of we had a bunch of

1108
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: Hall of famers on that on that football team. But

1109
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: I remember too something that happened to me, and it

1110
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 1: also happened to you. You got a chance after the

1111
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: fourth champion AFC Championship game, when we were going back

1112
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: to our fourth Super Bowl, you were on the cover

1113
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: of Sports Illustrated and it was I thought it was

1114
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: an awesome picture and it was so typical of Buffalo

1115
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: that the dolphins were in the picture and you were

1116
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: running right towards the camera with a bunch of dolphins

1117
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 1: chasing you, and it it was like here they come again.

1118
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: Do you still sign copies of that Sports Illustrated? Yeah,

1119
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: I still found copies, and and you know, and more

1120
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: so than anything, I think that my my kids have

1121
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: taken my copy, so I still don't have one. I

1122
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: probably need to fly me one now. But I don't

1123
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: have another copy of that right now because I have

1124
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 1: three kids and they and they took mine. But you know,

1125
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: I think I think the podcast was great. Is the

1126
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: fan base I'm telling you the fan base. I don't

1127
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: care the three in Buffalo are were in Miami. I

1128
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: think it's the fan base. Buffalo got incredible fans, and

1129
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: you know, my hat's off to them, shooting my hats

1130
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 1: off to them. Kenny. A couple of playoff game zone

1131
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,439
Speaker 1: I asked you about Stephen I were talking to before

1132
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: he came out about it. Super Bowl twenty six in Minnesota,

1133
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 1: Bills in Washington, and all of a sudden game kicks

1134
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: off and Thurman's not out there, not ready to go.

1135
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: What was that like for you? What happened to you

1136
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: when Thurman couldn't find his helmet? I think more thing

1137
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: more things that happened to me is that when we

1138
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: had warmed up, you know, I had warmed up, but

1139
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't like, you know, that I had

1140
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: ever started, you know, the game like this session, I

1141
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: didn't the standpoint of a Super Bowl game, and you know,

1142
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know, you know, I was just kind of

1143
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: sitting back over there on the sideline talking to it.

1144
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: Eddie Fullen and Cuple other guys. That was that and there,

1145
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: and then they come on telling me you need to go,

1146
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna start you're gonna start at what so and

1147
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 1: so when I when I get there, when I when

1148
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: I finally get out on the fielding and Jim call

1149
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: a play, you know, when in the huddle, you know,

1150
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: and he called a play and I go to the

1151
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: lefts to the to the right, and then there's a

1152
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: water open hold over there to the right that that

1153
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: I've missed I made. I've made that mistake, you know,

1154
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: I made that mistake. I went to the wrong due.

1155
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: I went to the lefts to going to the right.

1156
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: And uh, I'll never forget it. You know. I've been

1157
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: teased about it. People that teased me upside of it

1158
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: all the time and said seeds to be say, man, yeah,

1159
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: one time starting the Super Bowl and you went the

1160
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,240
Speaker 1: wrong direction. I said, okay, I said, I was okay,

1161
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: all right, right, right, But at least I had an

1162
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to be in the super Bowl. I tell him

1163
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: that too. Now you're a part. You're the main reason

1164
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: that they got got there in the first place. Too.

1165
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: You're one of the key key cards. A little bit

1166
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: about where you're at now, where do you live in

1167
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: the country and uh and uh, you know, how often

1168
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: do you come back to flow I lived in all Itton, Texas,

1169
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: a little too far from Cowboys Stadium. I try to

1170
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: come back to Buffalo or whenever I can, you know,

1171
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,760
Speaker 1: I try to come back up there fucking and whenever

1172
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: I can. And I also try to come back up

1173
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: there off for gyms or golf cournayments. This's a great

1174
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: place to be. It's a place that I would love

1175
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: to be. I think that I wouldn't probably have a

1176
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: problem living if I had a job. Yeah, there you go,

1177
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 1: if I had a job. I know what you mean. Yeah,

1178
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: this is just something that I want to do. You know,

1179
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to. I just I just

1180
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: don't want to go home to sNaN anymore. I like

1181
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: moving around. I liked working here with kids, and most

1182
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: of all, I like working with kids. I think that's

1183
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: that's the part. That's that's that's good to me. One

1184
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: more playoff getting ask you about Kenny and that was

1185
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: the big comeback game Thurman started when you played a

1186
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,439
Speaker 1: lot that Thurman get hurt in that game. I'm trying

1187
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: to remember. I think I think that he had a

1188
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: poor muscles, not mistaken. I think he had a poor

1189
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: most in that game. On that greatest comeback game, and

1190
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: uh it was great, you know, you know it was

1191
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: it was time for me to shine. And the part

1192
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: that I think about, and I never thought about it

1193
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: while while the game was really going on, was that

1194
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: all of the people in the state of Texas that

1195
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: is watching this game got to be playing uston that

1196
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: that that never crossed my mind until about it another

1197
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: two days later, when I get all these calls from

1198
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: all these people from Texas telling me about old Man,

1199
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: you didn't have to do You still like that, you know,

1200
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: y'all shouldn't did better than all of that. You know,

1201
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: it was kind of funny. It really was funny in

1202
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. But I think most of all

1203
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: about it for the be part of one of the

1204
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: greatest comeback games ever, be part of a team that's

1205
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: won four AFC Championships in a row, and to see

1206
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: this many at least as Hall of famers. You know,

1207
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: I think that I couldn't have played for no better

1208
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: teams and no no no better comaraderie, no that are coaching,

1209
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: no better organization, no better city. I think because the

1210
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: fans came out and they showed you what they was

1211
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: all about. When you look back on that comeback game

1212
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: and the prominent role you played in, and what is

1213
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: the biggest what's the most common message you get from

1214
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: Bill's fans who talk about that game and remember your

1215
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: part in it. I think they're one of the biggest

1216
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: things about it. Maybe there's not so much about the game.

1217
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: I think it's so much about when they tell me

1218
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: that the people was getting up leaving the start coming back.

1219
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: People's farming over the fish back in part better with me.

1220
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: It's the part that I want to have loved to

1221
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: have seen. You know, you know that they die hand

1222
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: they die hard feel fans, but they was coming back.

1223
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: I think that part just hen people talk about that.

1224
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: I think miss men just as much as it did

1225
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: to me almost playing on the field. Kenny, last thing

1226
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,439
Speaker 1: I had for you. We've been asking our listeners today

1227
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: what's their favorite Thurman Thomas memory of his Bill's career.

1228
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Do you have one? You know you had a special

1229
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: relationship with him as his backup and his friend and

1230
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: his teammate. Was there one Thurman Thomas memory that sticks

1231
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: out for you all these years? I'll tell you one

1232
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: thing they said to me when we was playing host.

1233
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: He said, man, just keep doing what you're doing. I'll

1234
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: never forget it, he said. Just keep doing what you're

1235
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: doing and I'll always remember that. That's a good one. Yeah,

1236
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: there you go. Hey, Kenny, great to talk to you.

1237

Speaker 1: We look forward to seeing you here over the weekend,

1238
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: and you'll do a good job of the raising of

1239
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: the flag. Are you ready for that? You're ready to

1240
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: do that? Yes, I am. I'm looking forward to doing

1241
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: Leader of the Charge. Thanks, Kenny. We appreciate it all right.

1242
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. Kenny Davis. Nine years in the NFL six

1243
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills, Thurman Thomas's buddy, Thurman Thomas's replacement

1244
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: in the lineup. You'll be the leader of the charge

1245
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: Monday night when the Bills played the Patriots. Thirty five

1246
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 1: career rushing yards for Kenny Davis. That's pretty good, Steve,

1247
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: really when you think about it, right for being a

1248
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: bad one of seven touchdowns and you know, some of

1249
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: the people who were watching on MSG that showed some

1250
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 1: of his plays, and there was a ton of them,

1251
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are long plays. He had

1252
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 1: a lot of long touchdown runs. And the run that

1253
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: I was referring to in his interview when we had

1254
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: him on the cover Sports Illustrated was a long I

1255
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: think it was a screen pass that he busted loose

1256
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins down in Miami and took off for

1257
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: a really long run. I don't know if I don't

1258
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: think he scored, but he went for like sixty five

1259
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: seventy yards that didn't score. So he took us out

1260
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: of our end and way down into theirs. And once

1261
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: he broke into the open field, he really had to

1262
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: have an angle on him to catch him. But that

1263
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 1: was he He had a penchant for breaking long runs.

1264
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: He really did different style than Thurman Thomas right. I mean,

1265
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: a little smaller, a little quicker, just a different style.

1266
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: When he was a kid, he was the Texas Twister.

1267
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: He had this thing where they'd got to get an

1268
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: arm around him and he'd he'd spin out of the

1269
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: out of the block or out of the tackle, and

1270
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: he did a lot and a couple of times he

1271
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: did it as a Buffalo Bill, but they used to

1272
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: his name was the Texas Twister when he was a kid,

1273
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: and we used to tease him about that at times

1274
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: when he was with the Bills. But just one of

1275
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: the guys who was there through all of those years

1276
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: and all of those great games. Retired after the ninety

1277
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: four seasons. Kenny Davis, Buffalo Bill's former Bills running back

1278
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: leader of the Charge, talking to you about your favorite

1279
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas memories, both on Twitter and on the phone nighte.

1280
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: Let's take a couple of calls, Dan calling from young

1281
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: sound Dan, go ahead, you're on the air with us. Hey,

1282
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: good afternoon, guys. I think with Thurman and during that

1283
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: whole time, the rivalry with Miami was just so exciting.

1284
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: And there's one particular play. It wasn't a scoring play,

1285
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: but the Bills had the ball late in the game.

1286
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: They just needed a first down the ice of the game.

1287
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: I want to say it was probably third and three.

1288
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: They gave Thurman the ball and he ran right at

1289
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: Brian Cox and pushed him back and got that first down,

1290
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: and the place just went nuts because of the fact

1291
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: that it was Thurman against Brian Cox. And uh you know,

1292
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: anytime Thurman felt disrespected, Uh boy, that just lit a

1293
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: fire in him. And the way Brian Cox was with

1294
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: the Bill's fans, it was just so exciting to see

1295
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Thurman put it to him in ice that game. Yeah, Dan,

1296
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: You're right. A lot of older fans like of our

1297
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: age remember Brian Cox as being one of the guys

1298
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: you love to hate from Miami. It was It's interesting

1299
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: to the relationship that some of our a lot of

1300
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: our players had with Dan Marino and even I I

1301
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: continue to be his friend even today. Uh. Jim and

1302
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: Dan are obviously very close friends and have been for years,

1303
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: and so have I. UM, but that was because of

1304
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the you know, the kind of guy Jim was, and

1305
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Marino and those guys would come up and he was

1306
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: just a you know, another It was interesting because you

1307
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: go to like in here in Western New York, Jim's

1308
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: let's face it, Jim's a little bit iconic. I like

1309
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Thurman is and Bruce, you know, they're like like as

1310
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: the other Mount Rushmore of sports here in UH in Buffalo,

1311
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: the Dan's the same way down in Miami. Sure. Well,

1312
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: but when Dan comes to Buffalo, you know, we treat

1313
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: him like one of our guys because we know we've

1314
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: known him for so long now and we've played so

1315
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: many games against him, and we kind of had our

1316
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: way with with the Dolphins while he was playing, so

1317
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: we had, you kind of have bragging rights up here.

1318
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: So we just treat him like another jamok up here, right,

1319
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: and he kind of likes it because it likes to

1320
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: break for him because he we treat him like uh

1321
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: really a member of our team used to be and

1322
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: the leader of that it was Thurman. And you know,

1323
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Thurman being disrespected did motivate them. Dan was right, The

1324
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: caller was right. Thurman had a chip on his shoulder

1325
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: the size of the stadium. And uh, he was one

1326
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: of the first guys who would you know, um who

1327
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: befriended a guy like Dan Marino, Guys who even then,

1328
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: back then realized what a special team ours was, and uh,

1329
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: even guys from other teams. So remember and Brian Cox

1330
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: is a good good remember by Jo and the caller.

1331
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: That's uh, there's a there's an epid. Here's a call

1332
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: from Peter and Rochester. Hello Peter, welcome to the show. Okay,

1333
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Three memories of Sermons showing

1334
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: his versatility. First one was in the Super Bowl against

1335
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys when he scored the first the first touchdown

1336
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: the Bills went ahead. It was right on the goal

1337
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: line and there was somebody supposed to be covering him

1338
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: and Sermon just gave a quick move and the guy

1339
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 1: fell over and he walked into the end zone. And

1340
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: then the next one was at home and I think

1341
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: it was Frank Reich quarterbacking. It was against the Kansas

1342
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, and Frank was moving back to fast and

1343
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: a linebacker was coming round the side and Sermon put

1344
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: a block on him and just bancaped him, just shoved.

1345
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: The guy went down and I thought that was marvelous

1346
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: and showing his voice still. The last one was it

1347
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: was a around Christmas time and I think Thurmon was

1348
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: giving toys away to children in the hospital, and the

1349
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: joy on his face was just amazing that it said,

1350
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: what a man in addition to a wonderful athlete, that

1351
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: was a wonderful man. Thanks for letting Michelle. Thank you, Peter.

1352
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: Those are good memories. Those are all pretty good. Thank you.

1353
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's been quite the epic journey for Thurman.

1354
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: You think about that, Yeah, ups and down Oklahoma State,

1355
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: coming here second round, everybody, everybody looked over him, everything,

1356
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, pushed him to the side. They brought him

1357
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: here to Buffalo, and the thing was that his wife,

1358
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Patty's family was all here, so he had a kind

1359
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:52,919
Speaker 1: of a support network. He fell in with this team,

1360
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: and in the early days it was a little tumultuous

1361
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: with jam and Bruce and the bickering Bills in nineteen

1362
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: eighty nine, the championship game in eighty I mean, the

1363
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: team got good as soon as he stepped on the field.

1364
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: We went from an Okay team to championship APC Championship

1365
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: in his first year at eighty eight. And then you know,

1366
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: he became this iconic running back, one of the great

1367
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: running backs of all time. And now you know, so

1368
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: many years later, he's been in the Hall of Fame,

1369
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: he's been in the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame,

1371
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: and now to get his jersey retired, his number retired.

1372
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: Quite the epic journey for for Squatty. Yeah, I mean

1373
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: that's who called him Squatty first, Bruce, Eli, Elijah. That's

1374
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: great and that's you know that that kind of stuck.

1375
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, therm is that's what a journey. How many

1376
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: years it's been. That's great. I do too, And yeah

1377
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: he was, Yeah, we do miss him. One of the

1378
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: finest guys ever won a true gem. One more from

1379
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet on Thurman your favorite memories, Tiffany Daniel says,

1380
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: it would definitely be when me and my family met

1381
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: Thurman that last year's Speakers Series event. She says, Murph,

1382
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: you were on fire hosting the event and your interaction

1383
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: with Thurman was hilarious. It was a special night getting

1384
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: into Thurman. Number thirty four will be his number forever

1385
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 1: and a well deserved honor. That was fun. It was

1386
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: just just last year. I want to say, we did

1387
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: a thing at the Buffalo History Museum and I basically

1388
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: it was me and Thurman on stage, no holds barred conversation.

1389
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: He was great, he was I wasn't on fire. Thurman

1390
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: was on fire. Thurman and I make each other laugh.

1391
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 1: You've noticed that. I don't know what it is. Sometimes

1392
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: Thurman I just look at each other and we started laughing.

1393
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: We've had a little history with that. All Right, A

1394
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: break care. When we come back, it looks like practice

01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: the grass practice field outside the One Buffalo I'm sorry,

1405
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: join us in a moment with a couple of players

1406
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: as they make their way off the practice field, So

1407
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: we'll stick around for that. Coming off the practice field,

1408
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: there was there is a lot of There is some

1409
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: news really about Lashawn McCoy. Limited workout today for McCoy,

1410
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: which Chris Brown, Steve and I talked about being kind

1411
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,839
Speaker 1: of positive news as far as his return from concussion protocol,

1412
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: He's made it through most of the stages of the

1413
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, rest and recovery. He's done that light aerobic exercise.

1414
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: We assume he's done that, continued aerobic exercise into introduction

1415
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: of strength training. We assume he's done that because he

1416
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 1: seems to be at the football specific activities part and

1417
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: then is still a waiting clearance for full football activity.

1418
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: But I think a step forward today we'll likely learn

1419
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: more about that meantime, dar Rick Anderson bill starting quarterback

1420
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,600
Speaker 1: at the podium. Right now, let's listen in to the

1421
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: bill starting quarterback Derek Anderson for that game. Went into

1422
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: that game, I don't know, was that maybe the most

1423
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 1: of prepared you felt for an NFL game, given you

1424
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: only had three real practices. I felt prepared. I mean

1425
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 1: I said that after the game. There was no you know,

1426
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 1: I didn't have any self doubt, nothing. And I went

1427
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: in the game. I knew what they were gonna do.

1428
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 1: I thought, I knew what they're gonna do. And you know,

1429
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: as far as our offense, our plays, our play calls,

1430
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, I knew every detail that need to be known.

1431
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:39,640
Speaker 1: Said after the game is physically, I guess understandable. How

1432
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 1: was the recovery better in the last few years. It's

1433
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: been good. I was a little sore Monday, a little

1434
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: sore of Tuesday, but working through it. Yeah, and you

1435
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: know today, I thought we had a good day out there.

1436
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 1: But you know, Nixon bruises, everybody's got them. Is that

1437
01:10:55,840 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 1: to be expected given them the layoff they had that Yeah? Um,

1438
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,679
Speaker 1: I mean overall, the body felt fine. I mean, nothing

1439
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: more than I mean obviously hadn't been really hitting a while,

1440
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: but it wasn't something I wasn't used to. We understand

1441
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 1: how much time you put in from the minute you

1442
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: you've got your extra time and things like that. How

1443
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: much have you been able to take maybe a step

1444
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: back and slow down a bit in regards to all

1445
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: the time if you're putting in now that you've been

1446
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: here and played a game. Not really, I really don't

1447
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: have that luxury right now. I'm here without my family,

1448
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: and I got one one focus, and it's trying to

1449
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 1: win a football game for us, and to me it's

1450
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: I just stay until I get tired, and when I

1451
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: start getting tired and I go home when it's when

1452
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm wasting my time. You're leading down

1453
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: Calvin quite a bit that first start. How much you know,

1454
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: if you guys would be comfortable with each other, He's

1455
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: one guy on this team, if you know, and you're

1456
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 1: comfortable with you. The thing is, you know, how much

1457
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: is that I help for you? It's been good. I

1458
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: mean I don't feel like I, you know, went out

1459
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 1: of my way to throw balls at him that you

1460
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: know we're unnecessary. I mean I threw the balls at him.

1461
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: I thought that were the right place to go to

1462
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: the ball. Um. The only one I wish I had

1463
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 1: back was the one before the half. Um. But I

1464
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: mean I've thrown that ball in there and he's caught

1465
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:21,640
Speaker 1: that ball, and we've done that before. But uh no,

1466
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: he's I mean, I'm getting more and more comfortable with

1467
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: the guys, you know, as the more days I get

1468
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,639
Speaker 1: together with him, the more times I get to see

1469
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: him coming in out of breaks. Um. You know, I've

1470
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: played with a lot of different guys, so it's I mean,

1471
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: that's the adaptation period has been pretty quick, coming in

1472
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: out of breaks, a temple thing or see thing I

1473
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,560
Speaker 1: just like to I mean, for me, it's just seeing it,

1474
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: seeing what he looks like when he's getting ready to

1475
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: break down, or seeing you know, how he comes out

1476
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: of different routes. Um. You know, I watched our guys,

1477
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, when I first got here, the first week

1478
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: I was here, just kind of went through and watched

1479
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 1: some old practice stuff and you know, went through the

1480
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: last couple of games and then getting out there and

1481
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: be able to actually see it and do it with them. Um.

1482
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 1: Just trying to adapt as fast as I can. Lashawan

1483
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,560
Speaker 1: Ncoy in the passing game as a receiving threat, and

1484
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: I would have loved to have them longer in two

1485
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: plays last week. But um, you know, I think the backs,

1486
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, they did a great job in the game.

1487
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: And you know, Murph came in, Chris ran the ball hard.

1488
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: You know, both of those guys did a great job

1489
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: without having Lashawan in there. But uh, you know, I

1490
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: think we're just growing. You know, everybody's got got roles

1491
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: and everybody's kind of adapting, and you know, hopefully we

1492
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,759
Speaker 1: can continue to do something. Obviously, Bills are not unique

1493
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: in the situation. But that Patriots offense, you know that

1494
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: they're doing a role was the doing this whole time there?

1495
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: How donking a task for your offense knowing that you're

1496
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to score some points and maybe a lot

1497
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: of hearts to work the game. They're a good football team,

1498
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. Um. Unfortunately, I have to

1499
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 1: just play their defense. Um, you know that's my focus

1500
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: this week. You know, they got a good defense, they

1501
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 1: got a good scheme that you know, they're try and

1502
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: take away guys you know who they think are going

1503
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: to be our biggest threats, Um, and take away the

1504
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: things that we do well. Um, but yeah, they are

1505
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: a good football team. But I just have to focus

1506
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: on their defense. You always know that a l defense

1507
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: every week, so I have a extra new wrinkle or two.

1508
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: How do you kind of prepare for the unexpected? I

1509
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: teams happens every week. It's not just specific to them, Um,

1510
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's part of being a football player, part

1511
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: of preparing for you know, any game. Really, I mean

1512
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: you stick to your rules. Um, you know, continue to

1513
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: just you know, stay with them. You know, if they

1514
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 1: bring too many guys, you gotta throw hot, you know.

1515
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 1: I mean, if they run a different front that we're

1516
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: not used to, we adjust it. If we you know,

1517
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: make the adjustment hopefully at the line of scrimmage. If not,

1518
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: come to sideline, talk to each other. Communication needs to

1519
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: be good. Um, it's just playing football. Being particularly stingy

1520
01:14:58,040 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: in the red zone. I mean, if you would think

1521
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: most teams with the I mean, they don't mind given

1522
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: up yards on this, But then you get them inside

1523
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: their pointing and they change a little bit. I mean,

1524
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: what do you think they've made them so good down

1525
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 1: there and being effective and people teams at least out

1526
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 1: of the end. Um, I mean they're gonna play their defense.

1527
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, they're not. They're gonna, you know,

1528
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: give you some opportunities. You're gonna be able to move

1529
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 1: the ball. Um, and when we do get down there,

1530
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,720
Speaker 1: we just got to execute. Um. I think that's you know,

1531
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: not don't be surprised if something different comes up when

1532
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: we get down there. Um. Make the players that come up, Um,

1533
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,639
Speaker 1: you know, protect the football and those those types of things.

1534
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: It's okay to kick field goals, not every time, but

1535
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: points are good. You feel like, you know they're with

1536
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: their personality, you're going to see a fair amount of

1537
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: man coverage, especially underneath. I'm gonna sume I mean, if

1538
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that they do and that's

1539
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: kind of their DNA. So Um. Obviously I've gone through

1540
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 1: and watched all their games and they play a lot

1541
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 1: of men. The most guys in this team have never

1542
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: played one primetime game, maybe a couple here or there.

1543
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,560
Speaker 1: You've played a multiple shot of your career. It's a

1544
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,600
Speaker 1: little different atmosphere. Obviously, they can get a little bit

1545
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: too amped up. What could you say to young guys,

1546
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: you know, maybe stay under control a little bit. And

1547
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: leading up to this game edition don't overthink it. Um. Yes,

1548
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 1: I've been fortunate to play in multiple Monday night games,

1549
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: Sunday and night games. It's a great atmosphere. This is

1550
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a great atmosphere for us this week, you know.

1551
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: And I know we haven't had a game or a

1552
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 1: Monday night game here and since two thousand and eight. Yeah,

1553
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 1: I was here. Yeah I believe it or not. Believe

1554
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: it or not. But uh, what's that good memories from

1555
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: that game? Yeah we won? Um, But yeah, I mean

1556
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,640
Speaker 1: it's I don't think you overthink it. It's still a

1557
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 1: football game. Yes, the atmosphere is gonna be good. Um,

1558
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: it's what you dream about as a kid. Um. You know,

1559
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: we go through the week. Just make sure that we're

1560
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: prepared to go out there and just do the things

1561
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: that we're coached to do. Do the things we're asked

1562
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: to do. We don't have to do anything anything extra. Um,

1563
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 1: you know, just stay within yourself. I think it's kind

1564
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: of the biggest thing. Yeah, but as the atmosphere will

1565
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 1: kind of take care of yourself. Your interactions with Josh

1566
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: maybe had to be altered a little bit ever since

1567
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: you've been thrown in as Justin started an understanding the

1568
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: learning garth that you're you're under and your interactions during

1569
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: the week, during the game, and how that mentorship role

1570
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 1: has maybe been altered a bit because of the inspenser

1571
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: of the students. We're still learning. Uh, you know, there's

1572
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,600
Speaker 1: still things that you know, obviously I wasn't perfect in

1573
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: the game. There's things that he can learn from in that. Um.

1574
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, during practice, we're still you know, having good

1575
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,679
Speaker 1: conversations between periods, um, you know, trying to make sure

1576
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:46,600
Speaker 1: that he's still mentally into it, um, you know, so

1577
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 1: that when he can't come back, that he's he's ready

1578
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 1: to go and he feels like he's been, you know,

1579
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: up to speed with the things that we've been doing.

1580
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: You've been around some different building backs. Is there something

1581
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: maybe just a dealing with Josh that maybe you think

1582
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 1: very smart, very smart. I mean, you know, obviously hasn't

1583
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: seen everything, he hasn't done everything, but you know there's

1584
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: things that you know kind of come up You're like, oh,

1585
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: he kind of he's kind of ahead there a little bit.

1586
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: But uh, you know a lot of it too is

1587
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: just you know doing it. I Mean, for me, obviously,

1588
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 1: it's I've done it good done it bad, you know,

1589
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:23,640
Speaker 1: learn from it, you know, try not to repeat it.

1590
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: But U yeah, he's been he's been good. You know,

1591
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: I've seen Josh and I've seen Cam and you know

1592
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: where those guys are. They're both obviously very gifted players

1593
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: or first round picks. Um, they were first round picks

1594
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 1: for a reason. That's been fun. I mean the guys

1595
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: have been great. Uh since the first day that I

1596
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 1: got here, really just kind of accepted me. I just

1597
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 1: kind of jumped in, tried to be myself. Um, I

1598
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: like to mess around times and joke and but just

1599
01:18:57,800 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 1: kind of keep a light and let them kind of

1600
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 1: just fill me out too. Um. But as as a whole,

1601
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: it's been, it's been very good. The only downside too,

1602
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: it is I missed my life from my kids. You know,

1603
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: they're at home, but uh, you know they're used to

1604
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: being around it and seeing it and being you know,

1605
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 1: being able to come here and watch things. And that's

1606
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 1: the downside to you know, my transition coming This might

1607
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 1: be too general, but like just in terms of being

1608
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: really comfortable with what you're seeing free snap and then

1609
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 1: post snap, did it? When did it click in for you?

1610
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean, was it three year third year, can you

1611
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: answer that question. Yeah, well I went to the Pro

1612
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: Bowl my third year, so that was things went well. Yeah,

1613
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: so my second my second year, ye first year. Yeah,

1614
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 1: my second year, I got to play in some games

1615
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the year and you know, we

1616
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: played against the Chiefs. We were down three scores, came back,

1617
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 1: we end up winning an overtime. U The defenses, though,

1618
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 1: I was we were talking about this the other day.

1619
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: The defenses have changed drastically in the past ten years.

1620
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they used to just line up

1621
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: and post safety would stand there and like they don't

1622
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: do that anymore. I mean for the most part, um,

1623
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: you know, and it was very you know, if a

1624
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:18,600
Speaker 1: team played three four, they played three four, there was

1625
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers put the guy in the nose and they

1626
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 1: have those big guys in the ends. You knew where

1627
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: they were at all the time. Um. You know. Now

1628
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: it's a version of three to four, just depending on

1629
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: who the rush guy is and um, but yeah, it was.

1630
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: It's football has changed, and I've tried to adapt as

1631
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: we go and it's been good. Yeah that too. They'll

1632
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: they'll line up yea, you know three four maybe in

1633
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: an over or under but then they're playing it more

1634
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: like a three for their slant into the gaps they're

1635
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: intending to right right right. Yeah, And like I said,

1636
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 1: my early on they didn't do Nobody didn't really did that.

1637
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 1: So that's been an adjustment. But it was probably, like

1638
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: to answer your question, that into my second year, going

1639
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:02,639
Speaker 1: into my third years, when I really kind of started

1640
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: to get comfort in what I was doing. I know

1641
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: everybody would be a little bit different here, but how

1642
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: much do you think you could really benefit your second year?

1643
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: You have the whole off season with your team, you

1644
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: have to praying for the draft, you have to pray

1645
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 1: for the Combine. You know, you have a playbook that

1646
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: you how much can that really vault you from one

1647
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: year to the next. It's huge, like you, I mean,

1648
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 1: people don't realize. I mean the rookies go from their

1649
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: whole end of their season, the day they're done with

1650
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 1: their college season, if it's December whatever, or whenever the

1651
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: bowl game is, they immediately go to start training for

1652
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: the Combine. So they're somewhere from there till the Combine,

1653
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: and then they might get like a week off between that,

1654
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and then they come here and they do OTA's mini camp.

1655
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: If you're done with school and all that, and then

1656
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 1: you roll right into the summer, you have four weeks

1657
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:47,640
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then you come in training camp. You

1658
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: don't really don't have a break. So like after my

1659
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: first year, I got done and I was like, oh, like,

1660
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,560
Speaker 1: I took like a month. I didn't do anything. But

1661
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 1: then when you come back, obviously then you start getting

1662
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: in this ring and you've obviously ran those players. You're

1663
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: not having to relearn everything. It's more fine tuning, you know.

1664
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 1: I'm building on the things that you learned this season before.

1665
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 1: There you go quarterback Derek Anderson starting this Monday Night

1666
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:16,560
Speaker 1: against annoying the Patriots. I like that guy, like his

1667
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: low key approach. I like he said a couple of

1668
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: interesting things as well. And we'll get to that in

1669
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:22,639
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. But right now, as the Bills

1670
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 1: come out to practice, fielder man Steve Tasker's Dandy May

1671
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,799
Speaker 1: is outside the Buffalo Bills practice locker room with defensive

1672
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: end Eddie Yarborough. Steve, take it away, thanks Murph, Eddie.

1673
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: Monday Night football is gonna be quite a scene. I

1674
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: mean we were talking just before we came on. What

1675
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: do you expect a Monday night football game to be

1676
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: like in Buffalo. You know, it's gonna be crazy. All

1677
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: our fans are gonna come out support us, and it's

1678
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: Monday night. Everybody back home, all the families, everybody's gonna

1679
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: be watching one night. We're the only showing town. So

1680
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a huge PELLUSA. Right. So you grew

1681
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 1: up around Denver, at the Denver Aurora, Colorado. Your phone

1682
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: gonna blow up, you got a lot of you got

1683
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 1: some people coming in the game, definitely. I'm going to

1684
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 1: have all eyes high school coaches, little league coaches, all

1685
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 1: the way back. So it's gonna be h. It's gonna

1686
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: be a good time. Right. So coming into this game,

1687
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: you've got a Trent Murphy, who's you know, got a

1688
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: knees taking a day off. He may or may not

1689
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 1: be in. How did that affects everybody up front? Because

1690
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: you guys are kind of interchangeable, but the rotation is

1691
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: going to be affected by that definitely. You know, with it,

1692
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 1: we'll have we It's kind of just, uh, everything everybody's interchangeable.

1693
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:29,519
Speaker 1: Like our nose is not to play threes. All our

1694
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: ends is know how to play right and left. So

1695
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of those things where if it

1696
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 1: does end up happening, we I can go over there

1697
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: and play. Shot can play, Jerry can play. We're all interchangable.

1698
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,560
Speaker 1: So it's really just kind of pick your poison. And

1699
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: you're facing a Patriots team who, notoriously you kind of

1700
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: don't know where you're gonna get. It's a week to

1701
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: week team. They they have the ability like nobody else,

1702
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: ready to change their identity. Oh and that's the thing

1703
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, great organization, and they do such a

1704
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 1: good job really not making making other teams beat them.

1705
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 1: They don't beat themselves. So with that, they come in

1706
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 1: and they have great schemes, great game plans, and also

1707
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: they don't really have all, right, this is what we're

1708
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna do week one through six. They really take a

1709
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 1: game by game and that's one something that's unique about

1710
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 1: the Patris tell us about the vibe this week, and

1711
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,840
Speaker 1: you're coming off a tough loss in Indianapolis. What's the

1712
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: vibe been like, can the defensive side and the game

1713
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: plan coming in? I mean, what do you guys feel

1714
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: like coming over Monday night? We're excited to get back

1715
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: out in the field. You know, really to get that

1716
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: last taste out of our mouth, you know, to put

1717
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: a better take another step forward and just keep being

1718
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: better than football team. Hey, Eddie, thanks for taking a

1719
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: minute coming and talking with us. All right, thank you

1720
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: for having all right, go go back to Murph inside. Hey,

1721
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: thanks Steve, Steve Tasker outside, stevehen he's still there. Can

1722
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: I ask you one question? I believe he's still there.

1723
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: The enthusiasm, the energy you get from Eddie Yarbrough, I

1724
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: find I you know, we said it earlier in the show,

1725
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: how you don't really feel the budge yet because it's

1726
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:47,639
Speaker 1: Monday night football. I felt it a little bit when

1727
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 1: you were talking to Eddie Yarbrough there. You can tell

1728
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: these guys are excited about playing Monday night football. It

1729
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 1: has not ceased to be something important to all the

1730
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: players in the NFL. They know it's a standalone game.

1731
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: I think the most important thing, Murph, it's the same

1732
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 1: as it was when I played. You know that other

1733
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: players you to respect are going to be watching you play,

1734
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: and it means something to you. I think most players strive,

1735
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 1: and I think the most important thing for them in

1736
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: their own personal careers is earning the respect of the

1737
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 1: players that they play with and against, and Monday Night

1738
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: football is a chance to show those guys the kind

1739
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: of player you are, both as a team and the

1740
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 1: end and a team in the league, and an offense

1741
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: and an individual as well. To go out and show

1742
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: something on a national scale. I think that doesn't get

1743
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 1: lost on these guys. You could tell Eddie and the

1744
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: players they're kind of enthusiastic about this game and they

1745
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: want to make a good showing because, like he said,

1746
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,679
Speaker 1: everybody ever knew watches you play on Monday Night. Yeah,

1747
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 1: look forward to it. Thanks Steve, we'll get you in

1748
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:45,759
Speaker 1: here in a minute. Thank you very much. Steve Tasker,

1749
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: our co host here on the show. We're gonna take

1750
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: a break. We're coming back with more. It is One

1751
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive, and this is Buffalo

1752
01:25:53,040 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back, One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive.

1753
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,640
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, covering the building, covering the waterfront, he's all

1754
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: over the place. He was just inside the ad Pro

1755
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,640
Speaker 1: Sports Training Center talking with Eddie Yarbrough. Now he's back

1756
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 1: out on our studio in our sumptuous set um. You

1757
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,440
Speaker 1: happened to come across Eddie Yarborough maybe the most enthusiastic

1758
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: guy that's on the fifty three man roster, and I

1759
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: felt it, Steve, I finally felt a little bit of

1760
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: the Monday night buzz from listening to you and Eddie

1761
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: arm I kind of search searched him out because I

1762
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 1: wanted somebody on the D line because there is a

1763
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 1: question marks whether Trent Murphy is gonna be able to

1764
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 1: go and go healthy and and that is huge. I

1765
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: think it the one the one thing that the Bills

1766
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: I think have to take into this game is a

1767
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: stout defense. And if and Tom Brady is not a scrambler,

1768
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: He's not a guy who's going to avoid a lot

1769
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: of He does avoid, but he's not going to run

1770
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 1: for yardage. So they're gonna be chasing him down and

1771
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 1: I think that's key. And without Trent Murphy, they're gonna

1772
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,719
Speaker 1: be one guy short in their rotation. But Yarborough says,

1773
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean and rightfully. So this is the defense that

1774
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 1: is kind of prepared for that. They move guys around.

1775
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: We've seen all of those guys up front and play

1776
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 1: different positions across the front, and I think that's gonna

1777
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: be key to being successful. Against the Patriots. Coming up.

1778
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: You were locking down any Yarbro getting ready for your interview.

1779
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: We were listening to Derek Anderson, who the more I

1780
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 1: hear from this guy, the more I like him. He

1781
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: said the two interesting things, very interesting things. I thought.

1782
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 1: He was asked about Josh Allen, how he's doing. He

1783
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 1: went out of his way praising how smart Josh Allen is.

1784
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 1: And I think people need to hear that. People who

1785
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: think the Bills should trade for Derek Carr or signed

1786
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Chad Kelly or do something else crazy at quarterback. Look,

1787
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 1: you've invested in this rookie quarterback this first round here,

1788
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: let's see how it pans out. Right, he's only had

1789
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 1: what foreign NFL starts. But they hear a teammate Derek

1790
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 1: Anderson talk about how smart he is. I think people

1791
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: need to know that, Yes, he's got the big army,

1792
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 1: he's got the stature, he's a good athlete, he can run,

1793
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: and he's really really smart according to a twelve year veteran,

1794
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: who should know about things that. I thought that was. Yeah,

1795
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 1: it's encouraging, no question, And of course, as a teammate,

1796
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 1: you're looking for the good things in the in the

1797
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 1: inn of your young players and on your own team,

1798
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 1: and to hear that about him is it's got to

1799
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: feel good to Bills fans that he's got something on

1800
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: the ball. And I think with Derek Anderson in the fold,

1801
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question. This is more of

1802
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 1: what we thought this season was going to look like

1803
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: in the quarterback room, a veteran player who would come

1804
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 1: in and sit down and and really play too. At

1805
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: the beginning, I mean, obviously they took a dtour into

1806
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:37,720
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman and his short stint as the starter, and

1807
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: then Josh Allen was in, and then when he got

1808
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 1: nicked up, Now you've got the veteran who you thought

1809
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: was kind of going to be that guy at the beginning.

1810
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 1: Um like the AJ McCarron, he thought he was going

1811
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 1: to be that kind of guy who'd come in play

1812
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 1: for five, six, seven, ten, twelve, sixteen games whatever it was,

1813
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 1: and uh and let Josh Allen sit back and watch

1814
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 1: how it's done in the NFL. And now it seems

1815
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 1: like they're on that core. Derek Anderson at the podium

1816
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:06,439
Speaker 1: today kind of strengthening that that thought I looked for him,

1817
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson, I'm talking about to play much better, and

1818
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:10,679
Speaker 1: Brownie and I talked about it. I was thinking about

1819
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: it yesterday morning. By the time they land up and

1820
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: play Monday night, it'll be just about three weeks since

1821
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson arrived here. You would think he'd have a

1822
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 1: much stronger command, or at least a week's better command

1823
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 1: of the playbook and what they want to do offensively.

1824
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: I think that will translate into better play, and they

1825
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: need better play, which brings me to the next point.

1826
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson said, this is almost a kind of a

1827
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 1: global topic. We maybe even get a whole shot on

1828
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: one of these days. He was asked about the Patriots

1829
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 1: and what they might do against the Bills the Patriots defense,

1830
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 1: and Anderson's comments were more to defenses and generally said

1831
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: they typically defenses takeaway, try to take away what we

1832
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 1: do well on offense. If your defense going up against

1833
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 1: the Bills, what would that be? What would you look at?

1834
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: I've not been a wise guy here because they but

1835
01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 1: you have to acknowledge they haven't done anything really well

1836
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,640
Speaker 1: on offense. What would you do if you think? I think,

1837
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 1: then kind of focus on players. It has to start

1838
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 1: with shady has to start with Charles Clay, and then

1839
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: you go down to the receivers, and it's going to

1840
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:10,400
Speaker 1: be amazingly at this point, it's going to be Zay Jones, yeah,

1841
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:14,560
Speaker 1: leading the leading the leading the team in receptions. But

1842
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:18,720
Speaker 1: I think it starts with Lashawn Yeah. And I think right,

1843
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Charles Clay and the rest, and I think, um, you know,

1844
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:25,719
Speaker 1: this is a team, you know you're facing. Derek Anderson

1845
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 1: is going to be facing a defense that's going to

1846
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 1: be pretty stout. I mean with New England. New England

1847
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 1: is starting to play really good defense. In fact that

1848
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:34,599
Speaker 1: it's to the point now where I think they're almost

1849
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: leaning on that defense a little more than they have

1850
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 1: in the past few years. I agree. And they're gonna

1851
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 1: have their work cut out for him. They will be

1852
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 1: at home. That will help. All that stuff helps, And

1853
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: we'll see if Derek Anderson can continue to complete sixty

1854
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 1: six percent of his passes or sixty three percent of

1855
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 1: his passes and and uh, move the football and keep

1856
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady off the field. All right, So mar Thurman

Speaker 1: and he looks like to be He looks to be

1872
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 1: a step away from final approval. We'll see how it

1873
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:52,839

Speaker 1: and twenty total yards in each of their last three games,

1883
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:23,600
Speaker 1: the longest streaks since two eleven. We'll see how they

1884
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,719
Speaker 1: do against the Bills offense, which has struggled eight fifteen.

1893
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:50,760
Speaker 1: had been on their practice squad for the past week.

1897
01:32:57,400 --> 01:33:00,759

1898
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:02,720
Speaker 1: Bill's tight end now with the Oakland Raiders, offered a

1899
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 1: passionate defense of his quarterback Derek Carr, saying it was

1900
01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:10,879
Speaker 1: a joke, criticize him of Car and praise his toughness

1901
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,320
Speaker 1: after Carr's toughness was questioned after an injury last week.

1902

01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:29,720

1910
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 1: have gone on to win at eighty one percent of

1911
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 1: the time historically. Right, it looks like the Red Sox

1912
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 1: are on their way, and now we'll see what happens

1913
01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. I know you could care less about

1914
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 1: the World Series. They've been in Boston the last two

1915
01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: asked to saw the Green Monster. Yeah, anyway, yeah, interesting,

1916
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 1: it's been interesting. I won't I won't bother you with that.

1917
01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: A couple of things. No, I mean, I know it's

1918
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 1: not a bother murf. Did I did get into the

1919
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,680
Speaker 1: concussion protocol with Shady right, Yes he did. He got

1920
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:06,480
Speaker 1: through rest of recovery, light aerobic exercise, continue aerobic exercising,

1921
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 1: the strength training. He appears to be and they don't

1922
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,120
Speaker 1: really specify for you, appears to be in the fourth

1923
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: stage of the concussion protocol, football specific activities, the cognitive

1924
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 1: load of playing football added, and players participate in non

1925
01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 1: contact activities for the typical duration of a full practice.

1926
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: It appears that's what went on today with Sean McCoy. Yeah,

1927
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: And what it usually happens is how he feels the day,

1928
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:29,959
Speaker 1: you know, twenty four hours after he does the physical activity,

1929
01:34:30,040 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 1: and they evaluate him and they go back through the

1930
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: baseline testing and if he passes that, then he'll he'll

1931
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 1: get a chance to go full go full contact and

1932
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, he'll be released. And the way

1933
01:34:43,479 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 1: he goes, I would be anticipate him playing, but could

1934
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 1: have yourself and knows, you know. The last step of

1935
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 1: full football activity clearance, the last step in concussion protocol.

1936
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:58,719
Speaker 1: A player returns to the full participation in practice, including

1937
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,679
Speaker 1: contact without restrict As you said, it might be something

1938
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 1: that they decide tomorrow morning after they see he gets

1939
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 1: through today. But it's trending anyway in the right direction.

1940
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 1: LaShaun McCoy. The Bills hope he can play. They've got

1941
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 1: to deal with New England's offense too. What did you

1942
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:14,840
Speaker 1: find You're looking at numbers? New England the tenth ranked

1943
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL and that day are overall in

1944
01:35:17,360 --> 01:35:19,680
Speaker 1: the yards a game, their tenth overall in the in

1945
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 1: the in the in the league. One of their best

1946
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,160
Speaker 1: numbers is yards passing per play. Their number eight in

1947
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 1: the league. Sacks they never get Brady never gets sacked. Uh.

1948
01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 1: The thing they are good at and it kind of

1949
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 1: stinks for Bills fans. They're number four overall in the

1950
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:41,439
Speaker 1: National Football League and points scored, so they score a

1951
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 1: bunch point. You can't you can't let them do that.

1952
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:46,960
Speaker 1: The Bills defense has got to keep him off the board.

1953
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:48,640
Speaker 1: There's no question a matter because their offense. Isn't it

1954
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:50,719
Speaker 1: a point where you're expecting them to just score twenty

1955
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:53,240
Speaker 1: eight thirty points a game? Who's that the Bills? Yeah,

1956
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 1: the Bills offenses two points right, Bills are averaging less

1957
01:35:56,200 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 1: than fifteen points a game, less than two touchdowns. You've

1958
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 1: got to keep that other team off the off the board.

1959
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:01,960
Speaker 1: There's a couple of ways to do it. Obviously, get

1960
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 1: them off on third down and also get turnovers and

1961
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 1: give your offense a chance on a short field that

1962
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:08,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff's kind of got to happen. That's kind

1963
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 1: of the margin of air the Bills are working with.

1964
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,240
Speaker 1: It's not very big, but as you heard, I mean,

1965
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 1: we talked to your Eddie Yarber there. They're stoked. You

1966
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 1: can't wait for money now. It's a big challenge for

1967
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:19,639
Speaker 1: the Bill. Sean McDermot talked about it today before practice,

1968
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: talked about the challenge of defending the New England Patriots offense.

1969
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 1: This offense they've got probably more weapons than what they've

1970
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,360
Speaker 1: had in the last couple of years, I would say,

1971
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 1: and really the continuity that they've been able to establish

1972
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 1: with the players, with the line has made their inventory

1973
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 1: very big and with that comes precision of execution. So

1974
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 1: you add the weapons this year, which are more than

1975
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:55,920
Speaker 1: ever in my opinion, I know, ranked in play last

1976
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:59,559
Speaker 1: week excuse me, and then the continuity that they've been

1977
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:02,600
Speaker 1: able to have over the years plus the precision with

1978
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,680
Speaker 1: the execution, and they're they're tough to stop. He's right,

1979
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. The weapons considerable. Josh Gordon, I would think

1980
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 1: is right on the top of his mind as far

1981
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: as an added weapon. They got Edelman back after the

1982
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 1: four games that he missed with his suspension. Add that

1983
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 1: to Hogan and Corderyl Patterson. Gronk is expected to come

1984
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 1: back he missed last week, and they are not likely.

1985
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Sonny Michelle, but they do have James

1986
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,680
Speaker 1: White who's a more than capable running back. And we

1987
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 1: haven't talking about Tom Brady. But they got weapons. They

1988
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,080
Speaker 1: have weapons, as McDermott points out, that they maybe more

1989
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:36,759
Speaker 1: than they've had, which McDermot says equates to a higher

1990
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 1: what do you call an inventory and plays more stuff

1991
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 1: for Sean and his coaches to look at this week

1992
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:44,240
Speaker 1: to get ready for and in the institutional knowledge that

1993
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:45,800
Speaker 1: they have some of these guys. They've been there a

1994
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 1: long time. Edelman, Gronkowski and Brady been playing together for

1995
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:51,720
Speaker 1: a long long time. Josh Gordon is kind of the

1996
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: wild card. The Bills have not seen a new England

1997
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 1: team with a player of Josh Gordon's caliber certainly had

1998
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook's last year. But Josh Gordon's kind of guy.

1999
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 1: He is a big, big, talented receiver who goes up

2000
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 1: and gets it and they're gonna have a hard time

2001
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:13,599
Speaker 1: holding him under that. That guy can play, of course,

2002
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,639
Speaker 1: and you see as the people watching MSG. They still

2003
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 1: have Chris Hogan, who nobody mentions, who is a guy

2004
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 1: that is a kind of one of those possession type,

2005
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 1: solid reliable guys. New England's full of them, and Tom

2006
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 1: Brady's the guy that gets it to him. So it'll

2007
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: they are. They're great offense. They're scoring points a lot

2008
01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:35,599
Speaker 1: now after the first month of the season. They got

2009
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,840
Speaker 1: it together. Josh Gordon has given them a little something.

2010
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 1: He got his first action in the Miami game up

2011
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: in New England and caught a couple of balls. They

2012
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 1: brought him in quick, and uh, it's it's gonna be

2013
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 1: interesting to see, no question. You've tipped into it though

2014
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,759
Speaker 1: with any arbora a minute ago, and McDermot talked about

2015
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:53,760
Speaker 1: it today. And look, those have had a rough seven

2016
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 1: games to start this season. They approached mid season here

2017
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 1: with two wins five losses. The offense struggling badly the

2018
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 1: defense coming up maybe yeah, probably there worse the performance

2019
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 1: of the season, but a chance to reset this week

2020
01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 1: going up against New England. Here's what McDermot said about

2021
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 1: the chance to kind of reset the season this week

2022
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 1: as they host the New England Patriots. I think it's

2023
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:15,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity when you look at the number of again

2024
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 1: first and second year players that we're playing, and got

2025
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 1: a young football team in that regard, and get a

2026
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 1: chance to now come home with some home games to

2027
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 1: your point, Josh, and some divisional games, all of our

2028
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 1: divisional games in front of us. I want to see

2029
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 1: what we do with these opportunities. I'm going to be

2030
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 1: a neat environment for us here and against a very

2031
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:37,720
Speaker 1: very good opponent as we all know, so it'll be,

2032
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:40,200
Speaker 1: but we look forward to the challenge and that's that's

2033
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:44,000
Speaker 1: the type of mindset that I want. Sean McDermot. It

2034
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:45,880
Speaker 1: is a challenge and one of the guys ready to

2035
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 1: meet that challenge. Joins us in studio right now in

2036
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,680
Speaker 1: his third year, second season with the Buffalo Bill is

2037
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 1: happy to have running back Marcus Murphy and studio with us.

2038
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:55,680
Speaker 1: Marcus thanks coming by Steve Tasker. John Murphy you're thanking, yes, sir,

2039
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 1: thanks for having just off the practice field. You look good.

2040
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 1: Yea sa time you were on here trying to um.

2041
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 1: I think it was after a preseason game, during training camp.

2042
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 1: Every preseason we were back here. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah,

2043
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 1: it was early in the season. Yeah. I mentioned Steve,

2044
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 1: he was out there. He did an interview with Eddie

2045
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:14,720
Speaker 1: Yarbro and it was this is after practice just a

2046
01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. It was clear that the guys on

2047
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 1: this team, maybe it's a young guy thing, are really

2048
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 1: getting kind of pumped up about playing Monday night football.

2049
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 1: Are you there as well? Yes, sir, I mean it's

2050
01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: it's a special night, you know, Monday night. It's prime time.

2051
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 1: You know, it's a night game. And then were here,

2052
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, at home in Buffalo against the Patriots, you know, arrival.

2053
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a big game for us. You know,

2054
01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:35,720
Speaker 1: we just got to come out and focus up and

2055
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 1: get to win. Have he played on Monday night before? No,

2056
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:41,600
Speaker 1: I haven't played Sunday night, not Monday. What did you

2057
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 1: have your big touchdown for the Saints? Was that a

2058
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 1: primetime game? He returned to a punt right? No, No,

2059
01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 1: we played primetime, but no I played, Um, I had

2060
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:51,679
Speaker 1: the punt return against Carolina. It was a regular Sunday

2061
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 1: Sunday game, Okay, not a primetime game. What is it

2062
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:56,800
Speaker 1: about primetime? And what are you looking for? You know,

2063
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 1: is your come out of Texas. Yarbro was saying all this,

2064
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:02,479
Speaker 1: his guys back out west are gonna be watching. Do

2065
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: you get that too when you play prime time? Oh yeah,

2066
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean the whole country is watching, you know, and

2067
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 1: I think you know further than that, you know, um,

2068
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:11,720
Speaker 1: it's just a primetime game. You know, the lights are on,

2069
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, everybody juices are going the only game that night.

2070
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 1: So you know, you want to come out and make

2071
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 1: a good impression. You were, you were inactive for a

2072
01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you got back in the game. Now

2073
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 1: you've got you know, ten returns for two hundred and

2074
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 1: sixty yard Y're averaging twenty six yards of return. It

2075
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:26,560
Speaker 1: seems to be going well for you. How do you

2076
01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 1: how's the new kickoff rules and how's all that's going

2077
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:31,120
Speaker 1: for you guys on that side? I mean we're just

2078
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, we're justing. We're coming out, um, you know,

2079
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 1: taking each rep, you know, very serious, you know, just

2080
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 1: trying to make the most out of it, um, And

2081
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:40,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the main thing, you know, just trying

2082
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: to make the most out of each opportunity. Um. You know,

2083
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 1: we know we won't get a lot of opportunities on

2084
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 1: the kickoff return team, so you know we want to

2085
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:51,680
Speaker 1: make you know, the most of each player. You know it.

2086
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:55,320
Speaker 1: Steeve said, the rules have changed. You cannot have a block,

2087
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:57,799
Speaker 1: you know, more than one blocker in front of you together.

2088
01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 1: I was at change you return kicks under the rules

2089
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 1: as well. Right, What does that do to a return

2090
01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:04,120
Speaker 1: man when you can't have like a wedge block in

2091
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 1: front of you like that? Um, I mean it creates

2092
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:09,080
Speaker 1: a lot more single blocks. Um. You know, guys can

2093
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 1: run around and you know it's it's easy to make

2094
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:13,920
Speaker 1: a block or miss when you know he's one on one.

2095
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:15,880
Speaker 1: So you know, I just try to focus on what

2096
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 1: I can do, focus on my details. You know, see

2097
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:19,720
Speaker 1: a hole and hit the hole right now, you know,

2098
01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: no hesitation and you know, just make the most out

2099
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 1: of Are you finding the coverage? Guys you're coming down

2100
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:27,280
Speaker 1: to a lower velocity to you know, less speed because

2101
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:29,519
Speaker 1: they don't get the big run up. UM, I don't

2102
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they're coming down less speed. I think

2103
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:33,479
Speaker 1: they have a little bit more speed, you know, because

2104
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 1: they can they can wiggle around the single blocks and

2105
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 1: they sometimes get them out of position. So you know,

2106
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:40,800
Speaker 1: we just try to explore any any any any week

2107
01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 1: weakness that we see and you know, just try to

2108
01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 1: make a big play. I've said a law that when

2109
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 1: I used to kick return kicks, the best ones came

2110
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 1: when it was timed up just stright with recoverage. Guys

2111
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:54,519
Speaker 1: engage with your return team at just that right moment,

2112
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 1: right before you get there, so that they kind of

2113
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 1: avoid and they all avoid different ways and that then

2114
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 1: you find that spot and it's it's all about timing, right, Yeah,

2115
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 1: It's all about timing, you know, like you said, Um,

2116
01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:07,320
Speaker 1: a guy try to avoid one way and the other

2117
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 1: guy vot's the other way and they create some lane.

2118
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:12,280
Speaker 1: So it's all about timing. And you know, we work

2119
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: on that every day at practice, you know, just trying

2120
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:16,559
Speaker 1: to come out and be perfect as we can. Marcus says.

2121
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: The antia is the anticipation there that as the weather

2122
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 1: gets worse and it started to a little bit, that

2123
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: you'll get more chances on kick returns. Time, but the

2124
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 1: kickoff maybe not making it to the end zone. What

2125
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:28,760
Speaker 1: do you think? UM, I mean I haven't really put

2126
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: a lot of focus into that, you know. I know

2127
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:32,600
Speaker 1: we have a lot of weather here. Um, you know,

2128
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:35,000
Speaker 1: so I never really try to focus on the weather.

2129
01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 1: I just try to, you know, focus on you know,

2130
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: my details, catching the ball, you know, looking the ball in,

2131
01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 1: making sure it's caught, you know, making the right reads

2132
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,479
Speaker 1: and you know, when the weather, when the weather plays

2133
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 1: a role, you know, I just have to adjust on

2134
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 1: the go. Last week, you got a surprise him two

2135
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:51,040
Speaker 1: plays inn Shady goes down and he's he's not coming

2136
01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 1: back for the game. Uh, you can, you can get elevated. Uh,

2137
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about your um, tell me about

2138
01:43:58,040 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 1: your preparation and that. How do you get ready and

2139
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:02,160
Speaker 1: stay ready when you spend so much time working on

2140
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:04,840
Speaker 1: your return stuff and that's your kind of priority one

2141
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:07,240
Speaker 1: for the week and then all of a sudden, backup

2142
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:09,720
Speaker 1: running back gets dumped into your life, right. I mean, well,

2143
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 1: my focus is, UM, I really don't have a priority.

2144
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 1: You know, each rep special teams offense, you know, even

2145
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 1: if they throw me on defense, you know, I just

2146
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,120
Speaker 1: want to make the most out of each play and

2147
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 1: that comes back from practice. You know, throughout the week,

2148
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:24,680
Speaker 1: you just have to come out and, like I say,

2149
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:27,720
Speaker 1: focused on the detail, focus on the small things, and

2150
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 1: just be ready. You never know what's gonna happen in

2151
01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 1: the game. You know, you might be thrown in in

2152
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:35,000
Speaker 1: any situation, So I just want to be prepared for

2153
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,880
Speaker 1: all circumstances. I just want to know if you get

2154
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:43,280
Speaker 1: put on on defense things have gone south, it won't happen.

2155
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'll be ready. With Marcus Murphy, Bill's

2156
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 1: running back, talking about his season so far and the

2157
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 1: Colts game, and as bad as that game was, there

2158
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 1: were flashes from the run game, I thought Marcus and

2159
01:44:56,040 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 1: even from the offensive line. I thought John Miller played

2160
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,800
Speaker 1: a wheel of a game against Indie last Sunday. Yes

2161
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:02,680
Speaker 1: he did. You know, he was moving guys, you know,

2162
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 1: Um and all of the old Laman you know, they

2163
01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:07,719
Speaker 1: do a good job, you know, coming in and putting

2164
01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 1: their hats on guys and creating creating lanes for us

2165
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:12,800
Speaker 1: to run and even in pass pro. So you know,

2166
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:14,920
Speaker 1: we're just getting better as the weeks go, and you know,

2167
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,200
Speaker 1: we just try to focus up in and come out

2168
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:19,880
Speaker 1: and make the most of this game. They're running back.

2169
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: The running back room is small room. I mean it's

2170
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,799
Speaker 1: like four guys, you and Shady and and Chris Ivory

2171
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 1: and DeMarco's in there, right. I mean there's like four guys.

2172
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 1: We got Taiwan's right, So yeah, that's not like it's

2173
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:34,120
Speaker 1: not like receiver room or line. But we've got like

2174
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:37,519
Speaker 1: nine guys sitting in there. It's like a family table, right,

2175
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:40,599
Speaker 1: And I mean we all feed off of each other's energy. Um,

2176
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, we all learn a lot from each other. Um.

2177
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:45,439
Speaker 1: You know, they're all older than me, they're all you know,

2178
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:47,680
Speaker 1: experienced vets. So I take a lot from each one

2179
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 1: of those and just try to apply it to my game.

2180
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 1: So it's been very helpful for me. And I think

2181
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 1: just us being a close, close group, you know, we

2182
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:57,120
Speaker 1: feed a lot off of each other, so it's helping

2183
01:45:57,200 --> 01:45:59,200
Speaker 1: us a lot. What's been the message from Derek Anderson?

2184
01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 1: I know, the guys in he's got a real sense

2185
01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: of himself. He knows he's a veteran guy, he knows

2186
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 1: he's in a tough spot. Wasn't expecting to play now

2187
01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:07,560
Speaker 1: he's in there. What have you seen in him? And

2188
01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 1: what has he told you guys the running backs about

2189
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:12,640
Speaker 1: the way he wants to play this position. I mean

2190
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 1: he's a great leader, you know, coming in first, first

2191
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you know, and he's learning the whole

2192
01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 1: entire playbook. You know, he's telling guys where to line up,

2193
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 1: where to move to, and I mean just the experience.

2194
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's been around the league for a

2195
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: long time, so you know, he knows what it takes,

2196
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:28,560
Speaker 1: and he's he's seen a lot of different looks. So

2197
01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:30,680
Speaker 1: he's helping us out, you know, in those aspects. So

2198
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, just being a great leader, you know, in

2199
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: the huddle, and you know, just keeping us all focused

2200
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: and you know, focus on details. So's he's been doing

2201
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 1: a great job. Today would have been the start anyway

2202
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 1: of his third practice week with the Bills. His second

2203
01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:45,600
Speaker 1: is the starter. Do you see he signs? Did you

2204
01:46:45,640 --> 01:46:48,320
Speaker 1: see signs even today that he is more command of

2205
01:46:48,360 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 1: the playbook and what's expected of him, Just more familiarity

2206
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:53,559
Speaker 1: with what you guys are trying to do offensively? Oh yeah,

2207
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:55,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we we have a we have

2208
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty detailed playbook, you know, so so it

2209
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:01,680
Speaker 1: could take a time takes some time to get used

2210
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:03,400
Speaker 1: to and used to run into plays, but he's done

2211
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:05,559
Speaker 1: a good job of coming in and you know, learning

2212
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:08,439
Speaker 1: it quick. And he's able to relay you know, the

2213
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 1: messages that coaches brought to him during the meetings, and

2214
01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 1: he's able to put us in the right positions on

2215
01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:15,559
Speaker 1: the field. So I think that's a big hill. Steph

2216
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 1: and I were talking about how in a way, having

2217
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:19,960
Speaker 1: a shady out there today, even in the Red nine

2218
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:22,600
Speaker 1: Contact Jersey is kind of an encouraging site. I mean,

2219
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 1: he might be ready to go. I guess he said

2220
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 1: at leat time. The path for getting ready to go. Yeah,

2221
01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's been in, he's been in meetings. Um,

2222
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't know his exact condition, you know, but I

2223
01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:36,760
Speaker 1: know he's he's ready, you know. Um, his mindset is that,

2224
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's ready to go, and you know, I

2225
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 1: don't know what the protocol and things like that, but

2226
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, I hope he's ready to go. Tell us

Speaker 1: at the video, especially if they're front seven. I mean

2229
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 1: they're very good, you know, especially up front, you know,

01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:57,919
Speaker 1: you know, going from teammates to my coaches, you know, everybody,

2259
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:00,120
Speaker 1: we're all on the same page and it's all all

2260
01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 1: about getting better and you know, just just being the

2261
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 1: best week could be. And I like that. It's kind

2262
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:05,680
Speaker 1: of a blur to me. Now. Were you here for

2263
01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 1: the snow game last year? Yes, well, yeah, that's so yeah,

2264
01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:10,679
Speaker 1: you've seen it, right, I mean, that's listen, you ain't

2265
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna see another one like that, right right. That was

2266
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:14,600
Speaker 1: great for the city, I think, I think you know,

2267
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 1: it brought us together as a team and as a city.

2268
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, that was that was a nice That was

2269
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 1: a nice experience, Marcus. We took the fact that you know,

2270
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 1: it's a Monday game. So Coach McDermot, I know you

2271
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 1: guys were here yesterday, but you didn't get down the

2272
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,559
Speaker 1: field till today. Probably an effort to save your legs.

2273
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:30,120
Speaker 1: I would think the whole team and you probably do

2274
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 1: you feel as if don't let me put words in

2275
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:34,120
Speaker 1: your mouth. I mean it's been seven weeks kind of

2276
01:49:34,200 --> 01:49:36,920
Speaker 1: long weeks, and four weeks before that preseason. It's almost

2277
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:39,600
Speaker 1: like the team needed maybe one day off your feet, right,

2278
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:42,040
Speaker 1: one day off practice, just to reset here a little bit. Yeah,

2279
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's been a grind. Yeah, we've we've been

2280
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:46,439
Speaker 1: going since training camp started. You know, we got a

2281
01:49:46,520 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 1: late by week, so you know, I mean, we just

2282
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:51,600
Speaker 1: gotta take it for what it's worth. You know, we

2283
01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 1: just we just you know, we didn't need the day off.

2284
01:49:54,080 --> 01:49:55,680
Speaker 1: I think it helped out a lot, but you know

2285
01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:57,760
Speaker 1: it's it's time to work. You know, we got the

2286
01:49:57,800 --> 01:49:59,519
Speaker 1: Monday night. You know, we're not what we want to

2287
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 1: be as a team right now, you know, record wise,

2288
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 1: but I think we are getting better and improving each week.

2289
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 1: So you know, um, we we we needed to come

2290
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:10,840
Speaker 1: out and get some good work this week and you know,

2291
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 1: going to the game with a focused mindset. Last question

2292
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 1: for me, I just wanted to on Sunday, you're gonna

2293
01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:18,840
Speaker 1: be able to sit and watch any other every other game,

2294
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:21,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna be honest, There any game that you're looking for.

2295
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: You have buddies playing or you have a your hometown team.

2296
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 1: I mean, tell us, is there one game that you're

2297
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:29,560
Speaker 1: looking to watch? Not really, I mean I watched, you know,

2298
01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: pretty much all the game. Yeah, yeah, it's really it's

2299
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 1: really not It's really not too much that I look

2300
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:38,320
Speaker 1: forward to, you know with other teams. You know, as

2301
01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:40,720
Speaker 1: long as we're doing we have to do, then that's

2302
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 1: all I care about. But I mean, you know, I'm

2303
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:44,719
Speaker 1: a football fan, so I'll be watching you talk about

2304
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:46,400
Speaker 1: the grain And I just had one more question for

2305
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 1: you here. People. I think fans need to be and

2306
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:51,839
Speaker 1: everybody needs to be reminded there's a lot of football

2307
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 1: left here. I mean, you haven't even reached mid season yet,

2308
01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 1: you got six home games remaining. The story of the

2309
01:50:57,080 --> 01:50:58,960
Speaker 1: season is still yet to be told, I believe. What

2310
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 1: do you think right? Oh yeah, we definitely have a

2311
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 1: lot of season to go. Um, you know, a lot

2312
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 1: of work to do. And I mean we're not we're

2313
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: not in the best position, but I think we're in

2314
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 1: a good position. You know, we we were staying together

2315
01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:12,639
Speaker 1: as a team, and you know, we have a mindset

2316
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:14,720
Speaker 1: to get better. So you know, we can only take

2317
01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:16,599
Speaker 1: it one week at a time, you know, last week

2318
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:18,120
Speaker 1: is gone. So this week we just have to be

01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 1: texted me later says, I've revised this. You're out. I'm out,

Speaker 1: are n't I? But this is it might not ever end.

2351
01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 1: Summer of Thurman, Summer of Thurman, the Fall of Thurman.

2352
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:10,120
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think your favorite thing? Can

2353
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:12,360
Speaker 1: I tell you mine? And it's we say it's off field,

2354
01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 1: on the field, whatever you prefer. Mine was on the field,

2355
01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:16,600
Speaker 1: but not there any game. And I think I mean

2356
01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:18,800
Speaker 1: you one of these interviews we did, I mentioned it

2357
01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:21,760
Speaker 1: bills at Miami before Thurman became a Dolphin that one

2358
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 1: year and Thurman would come out of the locker room

2359
01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 1: early before kickoff, like an hour early, and taunt the fans.

2360
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean literally, he would stand there and scream stuff

2361
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:35,800
Speaker 1: at the fans, some of them of questionable character, the fans,

2362
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:37,760
Speaker 1: and some of the language not real great. He'd just

2363
01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:39,840
Speaker 1: stand there and scream at the fans. They would scream

2364
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 1: back at him. You mentioned he'd liked to play with

2365
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 1: a chip on the shoulder. I think he liked to.

2366
01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:46,759
Speaker 1: He almost artificially generated that. When he went to Miami.

2367
01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:49,599
Speaker 1: He would argue with the fans an hour before kickoff,

2368
01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:51,920
Speaker 1: and it got violent. It got noisy and violent. It

2369
01:53:52,040 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 1: was it was nasty. It was pretty amazing. That's my

2370
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:56,880
Speaker 1: favorite thermomon when I love the fact, like you would

2371
01:53:56,960 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 1: probably come out and ignore the fans, right, I mean yeah,

2372
01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:01,760
Speaker 1: they're also you see you make friends with him, Yeah,

2373
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:05,360
Speaker 1: come out and the fans. You know what you think

2374
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 1: about it, It's not much different than what Brian Cox

2375
01:54:08,200 --> 01:54:10,120
Speaker 1: used to do the Bills fans, Right, he come out

2376
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:14,599
Speaker 1: and just make gestures and spit at him and all

2377
01:54:14,680 --> 01:54:16,800
Speaker 1: kinds of you know, right, yeah, Nate, but right before

2378
01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:21,880
Speaker 1: he got thrown out. But that's guys, dredge up that

2379
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:24,040
Speaker 1: passionate emotion. They get a chip on their shoulder that

2380
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:26,639
Speaker 1: I could play angry. It was. It's an emotional game.

2381
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:31,760
Speaker 1: And them there was a master, the master at you know,

2382
01:54:33,040 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, somehow formulating his own chip. You know, he

2383
01:54:37,440 --> 01:54:41,040
Speaker 1: didn't have sho he would make one and that and

2384
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:43,360
Speaker 1: that was probably part of it. Yeah, I'd take some

2385
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 1: calls on this year. Your favorite Thurman Thomas memory will

2386
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 1: go to Chris in Toronto. Go ahead, Chris, Welcome to

2387
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 1: the show. Oh hi, John and Steve, thank you for

2388
01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:53,720
Speaker 1: taking my call. I just want to say the AFC

2389
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:58,360
Speaker 1: Championship game in January ninety four against the Kansas City Chiefs.

2390
01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 1: I felt Thurman just reached the optimal level of his

2391
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:06,200
Speaker 1: career that day. He like because of the patience he

2392
01:55:06,320 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 1: showed against a very good Kansas City defense. I know

2393
01:55:09,320 --> 01:55:11,600
Speaker 1: he had a good line to run behind, but he

2394
01:55:12,080 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 1: was almost getting to AFC Championship rushing yards records. That

2395
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 1: game just sticks out because they feel he reached the

2396
01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:24,640
Speaker 1: pinnacle of where he needed to get in that stature

2397
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:29,520
Speaker 1: of his career, like the utmost optimal level. And I

2398
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:32,640
Speaker 1: thank you that was a great game and honorable mentioned

2399
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:36,080
Speaker 1: to Steve Tasker who had a great kick return the

2400
01:55:36,120 --> 01:55:38,480
Speaker 1: week before against the Raiders that helped them get to

2401
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:41,640
Speaker 1: that game. So thank you. Yeah, yeah, that's that game. Yeah.

2402
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:43,040
Speaker 1: I think he had one hundred eighty six or one

2403
01:55:43,120 --> 01:55:46,640
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven yards rushing against the Chiefs team

2404
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 1: who had beaten us soundly. Wasn't that right that they

2405
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 1: beat us soundly on Monday Night during that season earlier

2406
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:57,080
Speaker 1: season and Monday night game like thirty one to six

2407
01:55:57,240 --> 01:56:01,200
Speaker 1: they thumped us in Arrowhead Stadium and and um, you're right,

2408
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 1: Thurman showed up in a big way and uh and

2409
01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:08,280
Speaker 1: got off on the Chiefs. I remember that offseason or

2410
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:11,680
Speaker 1: after that game. Marv Levy, who was, you know, good

2411
01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:13,840
Speaker 1: friends with Marty Schottenheimer, who's the coach of the Chiefs

2412
01:56:13,880 --> 01:56:16,520
Speaker 1: at the time, the head coach, and he said, you know,

2413
01:56:16,640 --> 01:56:19,440
Speaker 1: we Marty had told him. He said, listen, you're lucky.

2414
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:23,680
Speaker 1: Marty said, you're lucky that you guys had home field

2415
01:56:23,680 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 1: because if we would have played you guys in Kansas

2416
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 1: City in the championship game, we would have cleaned your clocks.

2417
01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:32,200
Speaker 1: And Marv, true to his true to his graceful nature,

2418
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 1: looked at him and said, but you didn't, he said,

2419
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:42,240
Speaker 1: but you didn't, And there it is, and we went

2420
01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:44,720
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and that was Joe Montana's final

2421
01:56:44,800 --> 01:56:46,840
Speaker 1: game as a professional football player. Thanks for your call.

2422
01:56:46,920 --> 01:56:50,120
Speaker 1: Let's take your call here from Randy in Denver. Randy,

2423
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:53,800
Speaker 1: you got some thoughts on Thurman. I do job, Thanks

2424
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:59,520
Speaker 1: for taking call. Sure. Obviously Super Bowl twenty five. Run

2425
01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:03,200
Speaker 1: all those catches against Cleveland in that playoff game, and

2426
01:57:03,520 --> 01:57:07,080
Speaker 1: one was like the Miami championship game after you know,

2427
01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:09,600
Speaker 1: Kelly coming back from the injury, after Wich won the

2428
01:57:09,640 --> 01:57:12,360
Speaker 1: two games, and it was a team effort, but Thurman

2429
01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 1: and Kenneth Davis just running it down Miami's throw to

2430
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:18,680
Speaker 1: just dominate that game with something else, but a real

2431
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: lasting memory is his humility. The guy was like only

2432
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:25,560
Speaker 1: in his second season, hadn't got his big contract yet,

2433
01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:28,920
Speaker 1: and yet he's constantly coming off the field to let

2434
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 1: Don Smith and Kenneth Davis go on and you know,

2435
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:35,839
Speaker 1: with no regard for his stats or his upcoming contract

2436
01:57:35,920 --> 01:57:38,040
Speaker 1: status or anything that you know, that shows a lot

2437
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:41,280
Speaker 1: about his character. And I also had a Chad Kelly

2438
01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:44,520
Speaker 1: comment if I could, John Sure, I do want to

2439
01:57:44,560 --> 01:57:46,440
Speaker 1: say this, That's why I brought that up with Kenny

2440
01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:48,040
Speaker 1: Davis when he was on the show with us a

2441
01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 1: couple of hours ago, an hour ago, I guess it

2442
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:51,840
Speaker 1: was an hour and a half ago, because you don't

2443
01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:53,960
Speaker 1: you almost don't see that anymore where guys playing the

2444
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,120
Speaker 1: same position, they might be friends, but they're competitors, and

2445
01:57:57,240 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 1: guys don't want to come off the field and let

2446
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:01,600
Speaker 1: the other guy shine. Very and Thurman and Kenny Davis

2447
01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:03,600
Speaker 1: did that. It was pretty impressive to see, go ahead,

2448
01:58:03,640 --> 01:58:06,920
Speaker 1: I thought on Jed Kelly, Randy, Yeah, yeah, you know.

2449
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 1: And this isn't just because I'm some crazy Bill fan.

2450
01:58:11,080 --> 01:58:13,560
Speaker 1: You know, this guy has talent, and I'd like to

2451
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:15,800
Speaker 1: see him get a chance in Buffalo because we really

2452
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:20,120
Speaker 1: have nothing. I don't care much for Peterman, so behind

2453
01:58:20,680 --> 01:58:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, Josh Allen, it'd be nice to have Chad

2454
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:27,440
Speaker 1: like sign him, put him on the practice squad. And

2455
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 1: it's not craziness, you know. I remember Bill Polian saying

2456
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 1: that before he hurt his knee in that season, that

2457
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:36,360
Speaker 1: he thought he was his number one quarterback coming out

2458
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 1: that year. He beat Clemson, he beat Alabama. He actually

2459
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:44,080
Speaker 1: had some talent. He had got sended the number two

2460
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:48,040
Speaker 1: in Denver obviously, there's some a little bit of immaturity

2461
01:58:48,120 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 1: in them. And I feel bad about what happened. And

2462
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:53,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, at first it looked like maybe

2463
01:58:53,080 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 1: he just did some blackout drinking. But I hear out

2464
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:59,720
Speaker 1: here that alcohol wasn't involved. So maybe someone roofed or

2465
01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:02,720
Speaker 1: may he took some marijuana at a bold And I

2466
01:59:02,840 --> 01:59:05,440
Speaker 1: believe that with his family around there and now with

2467
01:59:05,560 --> 01:59:08,800
Speaker 1: this latest incident, he would be on his best behavior

2468
01:59:08,920 --> 01:59:10,840
Speaker 1: and you know, let him, let him, let him look

2469
01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:12,880
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. What will it hurt? And like

2470
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, Sean McDermott's a religious guy, like, get the

2471
01:59:15,720 --> 01:59:18,920
Speaker 1: man a chance, you know, Randy, And there's a lot

2472
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:21,360
Speaker 1: of there's a lot going there's a lot going on there, Randy.

2473
01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 1: You're right, Uh, I just want to see him get

2474
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:26,280
Speaker 1: better before anybody signs him. He's got a long way

2475
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:29,320
Speaker 1: to go before football should be his priority again. And um,

2476
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:32,160
Speaker 1: he does have a lot of talent. That's that's why

2477
01:59:32,200 --> 01:59:34,920
Speaker 1: it's that's why it's so troubling for guys who know

2478
01:59:35,080 --> 01:59:37,280
Speaker 1: him and like him and they're friends with his family,

2479
01:59:37,440 --> 01:59:40,640
Speaker 1: like me, it's it's hard to see a young kid

2480
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:44,400
Speaker 1: go through stuff like this, even if it is self inflicted. Um. So,

2481
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:48,520
Speaker 1: uh yeah, all that stuff you say is could be true,

2482
01:59:48,960 --> 01:59:51,960
Speaker 1: would be true. I have said this. Um. When he

2483
01:59:52,120 --> 01:59:54,080
Speaker 1: got to Denver and they signed him, they were you know,

2484
01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:56,480
Speaker 1: they were an upheaval. They signed case Keenum. They were

2485
01:59:56,520 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback. Trevor Simeon was not going to

2486
01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:01,880
Speaker 1: work out. And I had told a couple of people

2487
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 1: I said, listen, Trevor sim I'm sorry. Case Keenum the

2488
02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:08,080
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Broncos. I'm telling you right now,

2489
02:00:08,160 --> 02:00:09,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to come off the field at all

2490
02:00:09,880 --> 02:00:12,800
Speaker 1: for anything because he sees how good Chad Kelly is.

2491
02:00:13,200 --> 02:00:15,240
Speaker 1: And I told people, if Chad ever gets on the

2492
02:00:15,320 --> 02:00:18,320
Speaker 1: field for those guys in a game, uh, watch out,

2493
02:00:18,440 --> 02:00:20,680
Speaker 1: he may not come off. That's how good I think

2494
02:00:20,720 --> 02:00:24,800
Speaker 1: he is and could be. Um, we'll see. Uh he's not.

2495
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's not gonna. I don't know these a

2496
02:00:26,840 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback at this point in his career. He's in

2497
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:34,680
Speaker 1: his second year. But it's it's it's almost tragic what

2498
02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:36,560
Speaker 1: has happened in the last week to his career and

2499
02:00:36,640 --> 02:00:39,240
Speaker 1: how it got how it's been derailed again. Uh, just

2500
02:00:39,440 --> 02:00:41,360
Speaker 1: it's just too bad. And I don't know what's gonna happen,

2501
02:00:41,440 --> 02:00:44,880
Speaker 1: what the next step will be? Uh? I don't. I doubt,

2502
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:47,880
Speaker 1: although I don't know, I doubt that it'll be here

2503
02:00:47,880 --> 02:00:51,920
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, only because there's thirty one other teams. Uh.

2504
02:00:53,120 --> 02:00:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. But it is sad and it does

2505
02:00:55,880 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 1: open up some doors from its other people's, from some

2506
02:00:58,160 --> 02:01:01,560
Speaker 1: other opportunities for Chad. But I don't know that Buffalo

2507
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:03,760
Speaker 1: might not be the best best place for him for

2508
02:01:03,840 --> 02:01:05,640
Speaker 1: all the same reasons you mentioned that it would be

2509
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:07,720
Speaker 1: a good place to get better. First, Just get better,

2510
02:01:07,920 --> 02:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Just get better, take care of yourself, put yourself together.

2511
02:01:10,360 --> 02:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to Stephen Buffalo. As we go through our

2512
02:01:13,080 --> 02:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas memories, are most fond memories of Thurman Thomas, Steve,

2513
02:01:16,120 --> 02:01:20,960
Speaker 1: what do you have? Hey? Um? Going into the airport,

2514
02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I've seen I've been around since I'm an old guy,

2515
02:01:23,720 --> 02:01:26,200
Speaker 1: so I've been around and had the pleasure of seeing

2516
02:01:26,280 --> 02:01:29,480
Speaker 1: the tail end of O. J. Simpsons years. But I'm

2517
02:01:29,520 --> 02:01:32,080
Speaker 1: telling you that the years and the nineties with with

2518
02:01:32,400 --> 02:01:34,680
Speaker 1: Thurman and all the way through his career was phenomenal.

2519
02:01:35,240 --> 02:01:40,200
Speaker 1: My son in law is extremely a huge Buffalo Bill's

2520
02:01:40,240 --> 02:01:44,200
Speaker 1: fan and a huge Thurman Thomas fan. Um, he wished

2521
02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:47,200
Speaker 1: he was round when you wish he was old enough

2522
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:50,320
Speaker 1: to be able to see him play. But he follows

2523
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:52,280
Speaker 1: him a lot and all the other stuff he's doing

2524
02:01:52,360 --> 02:01:55,800
Speaker 1: in the one time we're heading to Florida, and um,

2525
02:01:55,880 --> 02:01:57,720
Speaker 1: we were going out of Buffalo, and he goes, you

2526
02:01:57,760 --> 02:01:59,920
Speaker 1: know those you're flying in a Buffalo a lot, though, Jenny,

2527
02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:02,400
Speaker 1: don't you see somebody from the Bills team. And it's like, listen,

2528
02:02:02,920 --> 02:02:05,000
Speaker 1: I've been at least twenty or thirty times out of

2529
02:02:05,040 --> 02:02:08,320
Speaker 1: this airport and not once have I seen any Bills player.

2530
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,480
Speaker 1: So or Stamm standing there facing him. He's sitting down

2531
02:02:13,080 --> 02:02:15,720
Speaker 1: my backs too, you know, the aisleway, And all of

2532
02:02:15,720 --> 02:02:19,320
Speaker 1: a sudden he james up and goes Thurman and I burning,

2533
02:02:19,360 --> 02:02:21,440
Speaker 1: sure enough, there he is walking by with his wife.

2534
02:02:22,400 --> 02:02:26,960
Speaker 1: He stops. He didn't, you know, keep on walking. He stopped.

2535
02:02:27,040 --> 02:02:29,280
Speaker 1: His wife kept on walking, and he sat there and

2536
02:02:29,320 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 1: talked to us for like ten minutes, just going over

2537
02:02:32,960 --> 02:02:37,920
Speaker 1: things and my future, you know, my future son in

2538
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:41,040
Speaker 1: law was going crazy. He's like asking him all these questions,

2539
02:02:41,120 --> 02:02:43,560
Speaker 1: you know about all the Super Bowls and this play

2540
02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:46,560
Speaker 1: and that play, and and Thurman is just going yeah.

2541
02:02:46,600 --> 02:02:48,920
Speaker 1: He goes blah blah blah, and I'm like, this is

2542
02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:50,800
Speaker 1: actually pretty cool. He took a bunch of pictures and

2543
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:53,160
Speaker 1: stuff and he's a really nice guy. And then Lowe,

2544
02:02:53,240 --> 02:02:56,720
Speaker 1: behold he's on the plane sitting right next door or

2545
02:02:56,800 --> 02:03:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, the aisle next to my future son law

2546
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:02,560
Speaker 1: there and but you know what, he had respect for

2547
02:03:02,680 --> 02:03:04,040
Speaker 1: him and didn't hock him the whole time. And he

2548
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:07,480
Speaker 1: was there. But Thurman looked at him say are you doing?

2549
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:10,600
Speaker 1: And that was it. So he's I just had to say,

2550
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:15,880
Speaker 1: he's one of the best players I've seen carell Owens no, no, no,

2551
02:03:16,840 --> 02:03:19,440
Speaker 1: no thing, nothing even close to what he is. He's

2552
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:22,040
Speaker 1: a great ambassador for the football and he's a great

2553
02:03:22,080 --> 02:03:25,680
Speaker 1: ambassador for Bills and I just best of luck to him,

2554
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:29,000
Speaker 1: and I wish I could see him retire his uniform

2555
02:03:29,080 --> 02:03:31,800
Speaker 1: this weekend. I don't have season tickets and I'm out

2558
02:03:37,280 --> 02:03:39,720

Speaker 1: good story. Thanks for sharing that, s that's got awesome.

2560
02:03:42,120 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 1: One more Thurman call. Here's Mike and Ken Moore. Go ahead,

2561
02:03:44,360 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Mike are on the Air. Yeah, I had the privilege

2562
02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 1: of being a limo driver for Thurman for two years.

2563
02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:53,400
Speaker 1: I would take him from his home to Empire Sports

2564
02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 1: do the show and bring him back or pig of

2565
02:03:56,560 --> 02:03:58,760
Speaker 1: his guest on the way to the show. And he

2566
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:01,800
Speaker 1: was just a great guy. He treated me well. My

2567
02:04:01,880 --> 02:04:03,640
Speaker 1: wife and daughter would come to the show if it

2568
02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:06,280
Speaker 1: was offite, and he treated them well. I still when

2569
02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:07,680
Speaker 1: I see him, Mike, how you do when I was

2570
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:10,560
Speaker 1: a family You know, he's just just the nicest guy

2571
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:14,120
Speaker 1: you ever want to meet. Good story. Thanks, Hey, you

2572
02:04:14,160 --> 02:04:16,200
Speaker 1: know what's even you may you may have done. I've

2573
02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:18,240
Speaker 1: never met Thurman's mom, and I know she plays that

2574
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:20,480
Speaker 1: she is an important figure in his life. Obviously he's

2575
02:04:20,520 --> 02:04:22,640
Speaker 1: talking about her a lot. Maybe I'll try to seek

2576
02:04:22,680 --> 02:04:24,880
Speaker 1: her out this week. He should you met her. It's

2577
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 1: funny too, because yeah, and I don't know that well either,

2578
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:30,760
Speaker 1: because you know, she obviously doesn't live here. But it's

2579
02:04:30,880 --> 02:04:33,400
Speaker 1: interesting too, the amount of calls we got today from

2580
02:04:33,440 --> 02:04:37,200
Speaker 1: people who actually met him. And then you know, I mean,

2581
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:39,240
Speaker 1: we live in Buffalo. It's not like we live, you know,

2582
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:42,120
Speaker 1: in a in a sprawling metropolis where most of the

2583
02:04:42,160 --> 02:04:43,920
Speaker 1: people you don't get a chance to see it. He's

2584
02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:49,040
Speaker 1: been living here off and on since nineteen eighty eight. Yeah,

2585
02:04:49,280 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 1: he's a lifer now he's not going anywhere. And uh,

2586
02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:55,120
Speaker 1: it's it's funny because more and more people have better

2587
02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:59,000
Speaker 1: and better interactions with him. It's and it's it's good

2588
02:04:59,040 --> 02:05:02,400
Speaker 1: to see. It's speaks well of Buffalo. Derman gets his

2589
02:05:02,480 --> 02:05:05,040
Speaker 1: number retired halftime on Monday. It's gonna be fun time

2590
02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:08,000
Speaker 1: now for NFL. True or false. This is usually pretty fun.

2591
02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:10,520
Speaker 1: NFL True and False is brought to you by Yancey's

2592
02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. True or false. The

2593
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:20,040
Speaker 1: Packers will upset the Rams in Week eight, four twenty

2594
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:22,920
Speaker 1: five Sunday, Packers at the Rams. Did you know, Steve

2595
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 1: that the Packers have beaten the Rams the last five

2596
02:05:25,960 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 1: times they played? Despite that, the seven and our Rams

2597
02:05:28,600 --> 02:05:30,960
Speaker 1: are eight and a half point favorites over Green Bay

2598
02:05:31,080 --> 02:05:34,360
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles Colosseum this Sunday, the Packers will upset

2599
02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:38,200
Speaker 1: the Rams in Week eight. I'm gonna go false. They could.

2600
02:05:39,360 --> 02:05:41,960
Speaker 1: We saw the Packers about a month ago. They're okay,

2601
02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:44,400
Speaker 1: they're pretty good. They're not in the Rams category yet.

2602
02:05:44,400 --> 02:05:45,720
Speaker 1: You just saw the Rams last week what do you

2603
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:47,440
Speaker 1: think of that? It's false. They're not getting They're not

2604
02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna do it anywhere near the Rams, said Darren, Yeah,

2605
02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:53,320
Speaker 1: they're The Packers are not good enough every place except

2606
02:05:53,360 --> 02:05:56,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback position for them to beat the Rams. The

2607
02:05:57,040 --> 02:05:59,840
Speaker 1: Rams are hitting on all cylinders right now. They're fast,

2608
02:06:00,400 --> 02:06:04,480
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks, Uh, their quarterback is thrown it accurately and

2609
02:06:04,920 --> 02:06:08,080
Speaker 1: on time. Their guys are running open. Even the things

2610
02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:10,640
Speaker 1: they do off the page are good. And their defense

2611
02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:13,800
Speaker 1: is light years ahead of where the Packers defense is.

2612
02:06:14,200 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 1: The Rams defense, I saw them get seven sacks? Was

2613
02:06:18,360 --> 02:06:21,200
Speaker 1: it seven sacks? Maybe it's more than that against the

2614
02:06:21,360 --> 02:06:23,680
Speaker 1: Niners eleven sacks or something like that. And the four

2615
02:06:23,720 --> 02:06:26,560
Speaker 1: of them were Aaron Donald from the defensive tackle position.

2616
02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:29,280
Speaker 1: They are hitting on all cylinders in the Rams. So

2617
02:06:29,360 --> 02:06:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't think the Packers are going to go in

2618
02:06:31,360 --> 02:06:33,480
Speaker 1: and beat them. Who's gonna knock off the Rams? The Chiefs.

2619
02:06:33,560 --> 02:06:39,760
Speaker 1: That game is wee week eleven is the game between

2620
02:06:39,920 --> 02:06:43,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Rams. And that is that you

2621
02:06:43,440 --> 02:06:45,880
Speaker 1: talk about ratings, that that number, that game is gonna

2622
02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:48,600
Speaker 1: pull a number about three weeks away in Mexico. Those

2623
02:06:48,680 --> 02:06:51,240
Speaker 1: teams are those teams are on a collision course, and

2624
02:06:51,480 --> 02:06:53,400
Speaker 1: I was saying, Hey, these guys are gonna meet in

2625
02:06:53,480 --> 02:06:56,520
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, and then I found out they're gonna

2626
02:06:56,520 --> 02:06:58,440
Speaker 1: beet on this Monday night game. I'm gonna watch that

2627
02:06:58,480 --> 02:07:01,840
Speaker 1: one start to three weeks. NFL True or False Part two.

2628
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Byron Leftwich took over last week as the new offensive

2629
02:07:05,600 --> 02:07:10,440
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals. Byron Leftwich former NFL quarterback

2630
02:07:10,480 --> 02:07:13,000
Speaker 1: and a great college quarterback in his own right. Byron

2631
02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:16,840
Speaker 1: Leftwich is the key to Josh rosen success. That's a

2632
02:07:16,880 --> 02:07:19,080
Speaker 1: story that was out there at Arizona sports dot Com.

2633
02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:22,040
Speaker 1: True false, I'll say false. Look left which is an

2634
02:07:22,120 --> 02:07:25,400
Speaker 1: interim offensive coordinator. We're talking a long term success. I

2635
02:07:25,480 --> 02:07:28,160
Speaker 1: think Josh Rosen is just like Josh Allen, just like

2636
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:31,000
Speaker 1: all of them, really, Darnald, even Bradford. They have a

2637
02:07:31,040 --> 02:07:32,800
Speaker 1: ways to go. But I don't know if i'd put

2638
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:35,040
Speaker 1: it on Byron Leftwich as the key to his success

2639
02:07:35,160 --> 02:07:38,280
Speaker 1: this year. Okay has something to do with it, but no,

2640
02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike McCoy was an experienced coordinator anyway, and

2641
02:07:43,440 --> 02:07:46,120
Speaker 1: he replaced by a less experienced coordinator. I just wouldn't

2642
02:07:46,160 --> 02:07:48,360
Speaker 1: put that on Byron Leftwich. I'm saying false. Yeah, I'll

2643
02:07:48,360 --> 02:07:50,280
Speaker 1: say false too. I mean heat for the time being,

2644
02:07:50,360 --> 02:07:55,120
Speaker 1: He's got Josh Rosen's ear. But I don't think Byron

2645
02:07:55,240 --> 02:07:58,480
Speaker 1: Leftwich is the long term answer in Arizona. I think

2646
02:07:58,520 --> 02:08:00,320
Speaker 1: he's a good coach, no question. He was a pretty

2647
02:08:00,320 --> 02:08:05,200
Speaker 1: good quarterback in the NFL. But I think Josh Rosen's

2648
02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:06,680
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of guys that are gonna be

2649
02:08:06,760 --> 02:08:08,520
Speaker 1: key to his success. And I think the hanging like

2650
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:13,280
Speaker 1: you said, hanging on all on Byron Leftwich probably not

2651
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:16,240
Speaker 1: gonna work. No, I don't think so either. And finally,

2652
02:08:16,400 --> 02:08:18,560
Speaker 1: NFL true or false? So this could be this might

2653
02:08:18,600 --> 02:08:21,120
Speaker 1: be the game of the weekend right in the NFL.

2654
02:08:21,520 --> 02:08:25,440
Speaker 1: It is um in London on Sunday morning, nine thirty

2655
02:08:25,480 --> 02:08:28,280
Speaker 1: Eastern time, Sunday morning at Wembley the Eagles and the

2656
02:08:28,440 --> 02:08:32,080
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. The Eagles three and four, the Jaguars three

2657
02:08:32,120 --> 02:08:35,040
Speaker 1: and four. Both of them got deep into the postseason

2658
02:08:35,160 --> 02:08:39,040
Speaker 1: last year. Obviously the Eagles won at all Eagles and Jacksonville.

2659
02:08:39,160 --> 02:08:40,880
Speaker 1: Trying to find the line here, But the question is

2660
02:08:41,320 --> 02:08:45,680
Speaker 1: are the Eagles do they deserve to be underdogs? I

2661
02:08:45,760 --> 02:08:48,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't think so. What do you think, Steve No, not

2662
02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:53,400
Speaker 1: the way Jacksonville. Jackson's bench their quarterback last week. The

2663
02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:56,280
Speaker 1: Eagles are. They're a little up and down, but that

2664
02:08:56,440 --> 02:08:59,120
Speaker 1: you still see flashes the type of team that the

2665
02:08:59,200 --> 02:09:02,840
Speaker 1: Eagles are from time to time. Jacksonville doesn't seem to

2666
02:09:02,920 --> 02:09:04,840
Speaker 1: be anything like the team they were a year ago.

2667
02:09:05,440 --> 02:09:07,640
Speaker 1: Their offense is not playing as well and their defense

2668
02:09:07,760 --> 02:09:11,400
Speaker 1: is getting nicked as well too, So I think Jacksonville

2669
02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:15,880
Speaker 1: is in a bad spot with the vibe on their team.

2670
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:18,040
Speaker 1: They're having players only meetings, that kind of thing, and

2671
02:09:18,120 --> 02:09:20,680
Speaker 1: that never spells good things. So I think, No, I

2672
02:09:20,720 --> 02:09:23,400
Speaker 1: don't think the Eagles should be underdogs to the Jacksonville

2673
02:09:23,480 --> 02:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars in London. I'm looking in the line that says

2674
02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:27,280
Speaker 1: they are, not that they are three point favorites, But no,

2675
02:09:27,360 --> 02:09:29,600
Speaker 1: they don't desire to be underdogs. I think they'll win.

2676
02:09:29,640 --> 02:09:32,200
Speaker 1: I think they're much better, more complete team than the Jaguars.

2677
02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:34,560
Speaker 1: But it's a pretty good game. And I love Sunday

2678
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:36,600
Speaker 1: Morning Football, don't you. I love it so much better

2679
02:09:36,680 --> 02:09:39,440
Speaker 1: than the the idiot pregame shows that are on both

2680
02:09:39,480 --> 02:09:41,160

2681
02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:44,640
Speaker 1: your CBS friends, can you? But THO, I'm on one

2682

Speaker 1: the CBS? Ready to show the tops the sort? Yeah? No,

2684
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:53,840
Speaker 1: I just those shows to me have run the course.

2685
02:09:53,880 --> 02:09:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't watch those shows. I will watch nine thirty

2686

02:11:00,240 --> 02:11:02,560
Speaker 1: back up to Irvan Thomas. Kenny's going to be the

2704
02:11:02,720 --> 02:11:05,640
Speaker 1: leader of the charge with the flag. Monday night before kickoff,

2705
02:11:05,880 --> 02:11:09,960
Speaker 1: Kenny Davis talks about his fineness for Buffalo Bills fans.

2706
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:13,640
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. It was not only it was

2707
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:15,640
Speaker 1: a fun game, it was a great team. It was

2708
02:11:15,680 --> 02:11:18,520
Speaker 1: a great community there in Buffalo that was following you.

2709
02:11:18,760 --> 02:11:20,880
Speaker 1: It was great people in that area. You know. I

2710
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:22,920
Speaker 1: just I looked back at the sands and I think

2711
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:25,120
Speaker 1: about all the fans up in the stands, all the

2712
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:28,200
Speaker 1: screaming in hollid and people got trump gold on the

2713
02:11:28,240 --> 02:11:30,480
Speaker 1: bottom of the stands and stayed one and watch us

2714
02:11:30,520 --> 02:11:33,160
Speaker 1: play these games. You know, there was law of fans,

2715
02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:36,160
Speaker 1: and I think that doesn't kind of trickled down to

2716
02:11:36,400 --> 02:11:38,880
Speaker 1: us as a team too. I think that, and then

2717
02:11:38,920 --> 02:11:41,040
Speaker 1: it kind of trickled up to them as fans also

2718
02:11:41,320 --> 02:11:43,160
Speaker 1: to be law. And I think, no matter what, I

2719
02:11:43,200 --> 02:11:45,480
Speaker 1: don't care what anybody says. I tell them all the time.

2720
02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there's no prey of fans that the

2721
02:11:47,840 --> 02:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Fields. Kenny Davis loves the Bills fans. He'll be

2722
02:11:51,600 --> 02:11:53,360
Speaker 1: here on Monday night to be the leader of the charge.

2723
02:11:53,600 --> 02:11:56,080
Speaker 1: Also on the show today, a current Fills running back

2724
02:11:56,120 --> 02:11:59,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Murphy, just joined us earlier this hour. Marcus Murphy

2725
02:11:59,120 --> 02:12:01,240
Speaker 1: says he's seen it. The offensive line, he believes, is

2726
02:12:01,280 --> 02:12:05,600
Speaker 1: getting better on a game by game basis. All of

2727
02:12:05,680 --> 02:12:08,000
Speaker 1: the olaman you know, they do a good job, you know,

2728
02:12:08,120 --> 02:12:10,680
Speaker 1: coming in and putting their hats on guys and creating

2729
02:12:10,880 --> 02:12:13,680
Speaker 1: creating lane for us to run and even in pass pro.

2730
02:12:13,880 --> 02:12:16,000
Speaker 1: So you know, we're just getting better as the weeks go,

2731
02:12:16,240 --> 02:12:18,160
Speaker 1: and you know, we just try to focus up and

2732
02:12:18,520 --> 02:12:21,360
Speaker 1: come out and make the most of these games. They

2733
02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:23,000
Speaker 1: got a lot to make up it, Steve. It's a

2734
02:12:23,120 --> 02:12:24,800
Speaker 1: it's a big challenge for the Bills. We all know that.

2735
02:12:24,920 --> 02:12:28,200
Speaker 1: But today's with the players back and practice, I got

2736
02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:30,320
Speaker 1: a real sense today that we're gonna have some fun

2737
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:32,640
Speaker 1: here on Monday Night. I can't wait. Yeah, that's all

2738
02:12:32,640 --> 02:12:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Enthusiastic and it's nice to see them bounce

2739
02:12:36,080 --> 02:12:39,840
Speaker 1: back from you know, is it? Oh sorry I was pulling.

2740
02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:42,080

2741
02:12:42,120 --> 02:12:46,120
Speaker 1: my mom. It's nice to see them come back with

2742
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:48,520
Speaker 1: some enthusiasm. It was a it was a tough loss

2743
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:50,400
Speaker 1: against the Colds in the game that they felt like

2744
02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:52,000
Speaker 1: they probably had a good chance to win before that

2745
02:12:52,080 --> 02:12:53,760
Speaker 1: game started. They couldn't dig out of the hole they

2746
02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:57,600
Speaker 1: dug for themselves. And they're bouncing back. They want they're

2747
02:12:57,640 --> 02:12:59,240
Speaker 1: ready for this game. They want to come in and

2748
02:12:59,240 --> 02:13:01,160
