1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual roll

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: in the stratoire of normalcy. It is already Tuesday for

5
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: a week twelve. Welcome to One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

6
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: Steve Tesker with you. Players will be out on the

7
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: practice field shortly as the team is ready to roll.

8
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Coming off the bye. Josh Norman is off the COVID

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: reserve list and unfortunately the season is over before it

10
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: even started. For one Tommy Sweeney, the Bills are getting

11
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: better though, they're getting healthier, and that's that's what you

12
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: hope that would happen. And that is something though we

13
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: had talked a lot about cardiocarditis a lot because when

14
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: these guys were gonna say, all right, we're gonna try

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: and play and then and there was only a couple

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: of college players dealing, right, and it's it's no joke.

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: And now one of the Bills, you know, Tommy Sweeney,

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: who you know, was injured, I mean you talk about

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: getting thrown, you know, the foot injury he had. The

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: foot injury wasn't gonna please on IR and all this stuff.

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: Now he had, he got COVID and now he's gotten myocarditis.

22
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: This no joke. Well, there was that Boston Red Sox

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: player that developed that condition after having after contract COVID

24
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: and he did not play the rest of the baseball season.

25
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: And now Tommy Sweeney season is over. Coach McDermott let

26
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: us know. Um they're say yesterday in the press count

27
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: even and using that picture as a as a benchmark,

28
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: he is going to be able to pitch again. But

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: it took it's taken months to get over it. Now.

30
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott did say yesterday because I followed up and said, well,

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: what kind of guidance have the doctors given you as

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: to what the future outlook is for Tommy? And all

33
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: coach would say is we anticipate we will get him

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: back at some point in the off season. So whether

35
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: that's March, whether that's April when the off season conditioning

36
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: program begins, whether that's OTAs in May, whether it's mini

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: camp in June or training camp in July, we don't know,

38
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: and I doubt the coach knows for sure either. So

39
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: he was just giving us all that he had available

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: to him in terms of information at the time. But

41
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: you feel bad for Tommy Sweeney. I mean, he, you know,

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: was on the COVID list earlier this season and now

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: he's suffering from this condition, which is one of the

44
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: many conditions that you can get coming out of after

45
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: you've recovered from COVID. And just so people know, and

46
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: I am not a doctor, and I am not going

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: to play one on the radio, but I will read

48
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: you straight out of straight out of the Mayo Clinic,

49
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: what the definition of myocarditis is in terms of a condition.

50
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: It is an inflammation of the heart muscle and it

51
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: can affect your heart muscle and your heart's electrical system,

52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: thereby reducing your heart's ability to pump blood effectively and

53
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: causing rapid or abnormal heart rhythms otherwise known as rhythmias.

54
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: A viral infection causes myocarditis, that being COVID. There are

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: others though, there are other viruses that can cause this

56
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: condition and then basically severe myocarditis. And we don't know

57
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: Tommy's condition, but he was in the building yesterday. According

58
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: to coach McDermott. He's in good spirits. So it's our

59
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: hope that He's not suffering from a severe case of this,

60
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: and I would imagine being a young, strapping athlete, Hopefully

61
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: he is not. But in severe cases it can get

62
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: It can weaken your heart to the degree where parts

63
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: of your body do not get enough blood, and blood

64
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: clots are also a risk which can lead to stroke

65
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: and heart attack obviously, so there are a lot of

66
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: layers to that. I'm hopeful that you know Sweeney's mile

67
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: carditist condition is not a severe one, and I would

68
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: like to think that if coach anticipates, they will get

69
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: him back at some point in the off season on

70
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: the field. You know that this is just something that

71
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: he's dealing with and has to rectify. And again, I'm

72
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: not going to play a doctor on the radio. So

73
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: whether it can be managed by medication or what have you,

74
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: we don't know. All we know for sure is that

75
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: unfortunately Tommy Sweeney's twenty twenty season was a season that

76
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: never was Yeah, yeah, it's too bad. I mean it's

77
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: and certainly it's you just you just hope he gets

78
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: healthy what no matter what turns or twists his football

79
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: career takes, you just want the kid to have a

80
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: chance to pursue it if he can. And that being said,

81
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: and as we got off onto this, Josh Norman's back

82
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: on the field, right, he doesn't have those complications. He's back,

83
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: and the Bills are getting better and getting healthier. It's

84
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see. We're gonna have a practice

85
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: hit with Maddie here at about twelve forty to see,

86
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, the condition of the roster, right. I did

87
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: look at because every week the team puts out, you know,

88
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: their weekly release leading up to the game, and they

89
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: updated the depth chart every week. On the depth chart,

90
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: Josh Norman is listed as a starting cornerback and Levi

91
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Wallace is listed as his backup. I found that to

92
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: be very interesting. I'm not gonna remember for sure if

93
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: that has flip flopped to any degree through the course

94
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: of the season. I want to say there was a

95
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: time they were listed together as co starters, but I

96
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: thought that was interesting that Norman was listed there as

97
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: the starter, Levi Wallace the backup. Levi Wallace also available.

98
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 1: He was one of the close contacts to Josh Norman

99
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: after he tested positive leading up to the Arizona game,

100
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: which prevented him. Tyler Croft and Levi Wallace and one

101
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: other player who's h Dean Marlowe from being able to

102
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: travel and play in that game. All of those guys, Marlowe, Wallace,

103
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: and Croft were lifted from the COVID reserve list earlier

104
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: last late last week. I want to say Norman just

105
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: got lifted off of that reserve list today this morning.

106
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: So the assumption is he is going to be out

107
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: there practicing. So and I I'll say this, given what

108
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: I know about how the Bills handled their depth chart,

109
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: you can you can wad it up and throw it

110
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: in the garbage. Well, yeah, and we should say that

111
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: it specifically says across the top of the weekly release

112
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: page unofficial depth Chair, and they make sure that that's

113
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: there because they have no intent of telling anybody who's

114
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: starting where. I'll bet you we don't. We have Nobody

115
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: will know anything about who's starting on the offensive line

116
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: until you get out there and watch him warm up

117
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Nobody's gonna know whether Mitch Morse is going

118
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: to play center or Feliciano's gonna play center, and who

119
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: the guards are gonna be. They're not gonna tell anybody anything,

120
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: and certainly the media, who gets shot at the open

121
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: part of practice is going to be held with that

122
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: standard as well. Meanwhile, the league issued a memo to

123
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: all its thirty two clubs yesterday further enhancing the COVID

124
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: nineteen protocols. Beginning this week, players who are not substituting

125
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: or preparing to enter the field of play on a

126
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: game day and are not wearing their helmets have to

127
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: wear a mask or a double layered gator when they're

128
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Play callers, offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators. You've

129
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: seen them very often pull their masks down to speak

130
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: clearly into the microphone to call the play. They cannot

131
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: do that anymore either. They have to have a face

132
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: shield of some kind. They're each home team has to

133
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: be able to provide two hundred and fifty disposable surgical

134
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: masks on each sideline to ensure that masks are worn,

135
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: and they're encouraging players and staff to limit postgame interactions

136
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: with the opponents at the close of the game. Have

137
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: to wonder if Tom Brady was already adhering to that

138
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: after he failed to shake anyone's hand and walked off

139
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: like a sour puss at the end of the game.

140
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: He's getting crushed for that and he should. Yeah, and

141
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: he should. Yeah, did you not? Did you not shake

142
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: anybody's hand after Super Bowl twenty five? Steve? Yeah? Did

143
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: you not? H Yeah? Yeah you did? Right? Sure? Yeah,

144
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: gut wrenching loss, probably the worst of your career. You

145
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: shook hands with people? Have any games? And how many

146
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: guys have shaken his hand after he beat there? You know,

147
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: beat them up? You know in a Super Bowl it's pathetic,

148
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: Like six guys, I'm pretty sure it's downright pathetic. It is,

149
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: especially when you are a figure the magnitude of Tom Brady.

150
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you are arguably the most recognizable player in

151
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: the entire league. You are a household name, and you

152
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: do that. And it's not the first time that he's

153
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: done it. Yeah, he's given Foles. He did Nick Foles

154
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: on a Monday Night too, earlier in the season. It's embarrassing,

155
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: it is, absolutely It's a bad look for the league too. Yeah,

156
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: and I get it too. He's no different than the

157
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: other player, but he is kind of different. It's part

158
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: of being a quarterback in the NFL. You know, there

159
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: are certain things you do on a week to week

160
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: basis that nobody else has to do like Josh Allen.

161
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: For instance, he has to speak to the media on

162
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: every player availability day. Josh Allen always talks. He always

163
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: talks to the to the broadcast crew every week before

164
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: every game when they come in to do the games

165
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: from the booth. He always does a postgame interview, no

166
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: question about it. It's just always part of the job

167
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: of a starting quarterback in the NFL. You become the

168
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: voice of that side of the football and you're held

169
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: to that standard all the time, even in a loss.

170
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: So you're right, Um, the league's little memo does kind

171
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: of highlight the fact that Tom Brady walked off without

172
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: doing that before the memo was released. Yeah, it doesn't

173
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: take effect until the Thanksgiving Day games on Thursday to

174
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: start Week twelve. He was still playing Monday night in

175
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: week eleven. Right. And I'll say this though, Brownie, we

176
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: and we here in Erie County, here in Buffalo, in

177
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo area. You know that it's an orange zone

178
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: now and they're starting to tighten up again because of

179
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: it might go red. And people are saying it's definitely

180
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: going to who knows, I don't know. All I'm saying

181
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: is the Bills and the NFL are not taking that lightly.

182
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: This memo is another portion of it. We're you know,

183
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: we're probably on the horizon here, even in our little

184
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: we're completely separated from the players and the coach that

185
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: we never see him anymore. It used to be they

186
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: used to be round on the other side of the wall,

187
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: and they and once in a while they still are.

188
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: The doors are locked. We can't get in they they're

189
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: completely sequestered from us. We have no access at all

190
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: to them or even in the vicinity of them. And

191
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be even heightened further, probably if it

192
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: if it happens further, and the Bills, and I gotta

193
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: tip my hat to them. And I know, I'm you know,

194
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: I know, we're you know, we're kind of on the

195
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: payroll here, but man oh man, they do everything by

196
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: the letter. They don't cut any corners here with the

197
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: COVID protocols. With this we you know, we've enhanced it

198
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: since we started back in the in the studio on

199
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: was August tenth. We've we've enhanced our protocols here in

200
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: our in our workplace already and it's going to continue

201
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: here through true through the end of the season. I'm

202
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: sure because as the games get bigger and more important

203
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, so do the risks of somebody

204
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: coming down and getting put on the COVID list. And

205
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: and I'm telling and I speak for YouTube Brownie Hugh,

206
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be that guy. Well, I

207
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: do not want to be the guy that brings a

208
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: bug into this building. And speaking of bringing stuff into

209
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: the building, the Baltimore Ravens have learned that they have

210
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: more positive COVID nineteen tests that according to multiple reports

211
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: now out of Baltimore, as we know mark Ingram running

212
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: backs mark Ingram and JK. Dobbins were both put on

213
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen list COVID nineteen reserve list for the Ravens,

214
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: and they have a game on Thanksgiving Night against the Steelers.

215
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: They will be without their top two running backs. They

216
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: may be out without even a few more players. If

217
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: any of these additional positive tests are affecting the roster,

218
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: whether it's staff or roster, is unclear. Right now. All

219
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: we know is that the Ravens have again decided for

220
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: the second straight day to operate virtually and it's due

221
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: to the fact that there are more positive COVID nineteen two.

222
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting too because they'll have to do contact

223
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: tracing with the new guys that have been coming down

224
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: to its right. They were out of the building yesterday

225
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: after these first positive tests, so I don't know if tracing.

226
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: They don't even have anybody the building. The building was

227
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: closed part of they they opened the building up later

228
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: and though they did, but I don't know that that

229
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: included players. It might have just been coaches and staff

230
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: coming back in and study film, have staff meeting, game plan,

231
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But they did open the building

232
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: back up later in the day after all the contract

233
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: tracing data was looked at, and you know, then they

234
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: came in today and they had to close it down again.

235
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: But you know, and pluses and minuses. It would be

236
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: different if the game was on this coming Sunday instead

237
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: of the day after tomorrow, because they might be able

238
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: to get players back. I think it's right. On the

239
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: other hand, they're not going to get that much work

240
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: done anyway. They're not going to practice hard. It's everything's

241
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: gonna be a walkthrough. So I'm right, because it's a

242
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: short week, they're not they're not missing any on field

243
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: time where they're out there sprinting hard and working out.

244
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: This is a healing up process right now, this Tuesday,

245
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: now they have they may have a walk through, a

246
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: jog through tomorrow if indeed they can. But right now

247
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: they're getting their mind around their roster. They probably already had.

248
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: They do have the game plan in place for the

249
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: Steelers game coming up, but now they're trying to figure

250
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: out how they're going to be hurt by these losses

251
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: to COVID and also where they can you know, where

252
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: they can attack the Steelers and all of that. So

253
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: this game's going on. This the amazing part about it.

254
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: This game's taken place, it goes. It is rolling on,

255
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: and you can feel bad, and I do. I kind of.

256
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: I feel bad for John Harbor and those guys. That's

257
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: that's a tough spot. And it's a second time this

258
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: year that they've gotten ye stabbed in the back by this.

259
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: But well, but what did the league say at the

260
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. You're getting caught under the steam

261
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: roller man. The league said at the beginning of the year,

262
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: do not expect this season to be fair for all

263
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: thirty two clubs, And we think about New England having

264
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: to play against Kansas City without Cam Newton Um. They

265
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: didn't have Stefan Gilmour right following week because he contracted COVID.

266
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: So you can run down the list of teams that

267
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, even the Bills. Bills had to fly out

268
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: to Arizona Learning an hour before they had to hit

269
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: the hit the air two corners, two corners, a tight

270
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: end and a safety against a team that uses four

271
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: wides more than any other team in footbaarting corner a

272
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: safety and you're tight starting tight end. So but it's happened.

273
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: It's hit a lot of teams already. It had a

274
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: big way, and it'll hit more. And I'm telling you though,

275
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: it's going to roll on. They're not stopping a train

276
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: because they're out of bye weeks. Yeah, and they don't

277
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: want to go to week eighteen. And the Baltimore Ravens

278
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: got caught in. Like I said, they are caught in

279
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: front of the steam roller. There's no stopping it. You know,

280
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: you've either got to stand up to it or or

281
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: get crushed by it. I expect this to be a

282
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: better game than probably we are thinking that's gonna be

283
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: on Thursday night because of the familiarity there is between

284
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: these two teams. But your top two running backs out

285
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: for Baltimore on a team that likes to run it,

286
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: probably more than anybody else except for maybe Cleveland this year. Yeah,

287
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: that's tough. That's a tough to overcome. I feel bad

288
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: for him. As Steve mentioned, we will have Maddie lab

289
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: from the practice sidelines today. Usually Tuesday is an off

290
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: day for the Bills, but coming off the by and

291
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: with the Thanksgiving Day holiday, the Bills have essentially made Thursday,

292
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving the team's off day this week, so basically Tuesday

293
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: is replacing what would normally be a Thursday practice. So

294
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: basically they move the schedule up a day and put

295
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: the off day behind it. So Wednesday's practice is essentially today,

296
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: Thursday's practice is essentially tomorrow, and the off day is Thursday,

297
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: and then Friday Saturday operate as normal how the Bills

298
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: are conducting the practice week. So we will get to

299
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: Maddie probably in about twenty minutes or so for an

300
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: update from the practice field. We'll get updates on players

301
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: like John Brown, Cody Ford, among others, to see what

302
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: the health of this team looks like coming out of

303
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: the bye. We know all the players that are already

304
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: off the COVID list. We'll try to find out what

305
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse is doing, because again there were some interesting

306
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: responses from coach McDermott as to where his future lies

307
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: as a starting offensive lineman on this club. He confirmed

308
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: again that Morse did not play against the Cardinals even

309
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: though he was out of the concussion protocol because it

310
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: was a quote coaches decision. Now people have tried to

311
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: press coach McDermott on this to ask if it is

312
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: a performance related issue, and he did not say no,

313
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: and he did not say yes. He kind of came

314
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: down on it by saying he's in the mix to

315
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: be a starter, but he wouldn't definitively say he's good

316
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: to go. He's going to start at center on Sunday

317
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. And he did also kind of elaborate

318
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: a little bit about how he wants to look at

319
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: some combinations this week before they make a final decision.

320
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that that I'm wondering about, Steve, because

321
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: we're all just speculating right now. We don't know the

322
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: real reason why Mitch Moore's is suddenly not the starting

323
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: center after signing the biggest offseason contract for an offense

324
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: for a center two years ago. He's making eleven million

325
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: a year, and now he may or may not be

326
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: the starting center for a second straight week. I think

327
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: you and I have discussed this more than once. Coach

328
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: McDermott does not hesitate no matter what your status or

329
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: stature is on this roster. It is what is in

330
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: the best interest to the team, what makes their level

331
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: of play the most effective, what lineup caters to that,

332
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: and if you're not part of that lineup, you're not playing.

333
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: I have to believe, though, that they still see Mitch

334
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: Morris as one of their five best linemen. I know

335
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't necessarily offer perhaps the same position flexibility as

336
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: a John Feliciano or even a Ryan Bates for that matter,

337
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: but I mean Ryan bas is another conversation for another day.

338
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: I just it's perplexing. It's a little perplexing knowing how

339
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: much they valued him coming in the door and the

340
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: price tag they put on him to make sure they

341
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: got him. Do you think despite what happened against Arizona

342
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: when Morse was on the field and not playing, do

343
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: you think now going forward, this is gamesmanship. You mean

344
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: to light a fire under him, No, to not let

345
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers know who's gonna play in the interior three

346
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: spots of their offensive line are where they're gonna play, because,

347
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: let's face it, if they're watching film or the bill's

348
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: offensive line, they got no clue who they're gonna face, right,

349
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: because you and I see you and I sit here

350
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: in the building. Yeah, and we don't know. That seems

351
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: an awful long way to go. It's not that. No,

352
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they held him out because they're playing gamesmanship.

353
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: There was a whatever reason they held him out. You

354
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: think they know, they're just not letting exactly exactly. And

355
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: I suppose that, and I think he's probably gonna play. Yeah,

356
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 1: I can't see. I can't see. But even if they do,

357
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: even if they are going to play him, I still

358
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: don't know which guards, what the guards are gonna look like. Well, right,

359
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: And that's due in part to injury and also doing

360
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: part to the fact that we haven't seen the offensive

361
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: line contingent healthy enough to know and definitively who the

362
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: top five are and the two things and things that

363
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: the guards who are when they're healthy, they're both playing.

364
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: They're playing is Feliciano and Cody Ford, both of whom

365
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: have played right guard, left guard, right and neither started

366
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: and played full games there. And yeah, and I only

367
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: think they played a handful of snaps together. Three three, Yeah,

368
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: three snaps. It's not even a handful, but the three

369
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: snaps against who was the Jets right? Three snaps? Because

370
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: so that's to me, that's I think that's the biggest

371
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: flaw in the ointment of the whole thing. Dude, they

372
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: don't even tell you the depth chart, but they have

373
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: to know, right, they have, Yeah, but they them know

374
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: one doesn't mean we do how But really, I mean, honestly,

375
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: does that make such a dramatic difference in terms of

376
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: throwing off the opponent? I mean, are we the timal

377
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: percentage have to throw them off? You just have to

378
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: put a question in their mind, and it just I

379
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: just yeah, and I'll say here's more. I guess the

380
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: better way to ask it is, is it worth going

381
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: to those lengths? Here's enough value in it? Do you

382
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: tell me? Here's my theory? And this is a Marv leviism.

383
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: You go across the league, all thirty two teams that

384
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: are working with from the same hopper of players and

385
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: coaches and all of this, and this depth of knowledge

386
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: and in the rules. Now we're twelve game, eleven games

387
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: into the season, all right, So there's as much parody

388
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: across this league as you can possibly muster and legislate.

389
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: The difference between the number one team in the league

390
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: and the number thirty two team in the league is

391
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: two percent of the total. Yeah, two percent of one

392
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent total. That's the difference between number one and

393
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: number thirty two. That two percent is one hundred percent

394
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: of the difference. So in that two percent, there's things like,

395
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: I don't know who their left guard is going to be.

396
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't know who their right guarder center is going

397
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: to be. That and that's that's three of the five

398
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: guys you're trying to prepare for. So you're so a

399
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: guy like McDermott and these NFL coaches who are going

400
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: down a rabbit hole about when to go for it

401
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: on fourth and three, whether it's on their forty four

402
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: yard liner, on their forty six yard line, are not

403
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: going to do that. Yeah, they're gonna do that. But

404
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: but I gotta believe that logic takes over even in

405
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: the minds of their opponent, Like, that's fine. If they're

406
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: paying this guy eleven million dollars a year, the money

407
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: alone says they believe he's one of their five best linemen.

408
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: Suddenly he's not gonna play now, and yet suddenly he's

409
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: not gonna play, and yet he didn't play well. Right,

410
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: But you don't have any idea why that was. Whether listen,

411
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna you know what you're passed. You passed the protocol,

412
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: but if you don't feel one hundred percent, let's just

413
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: keep you as an emergency. And Mitch goes, you know what,

414
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. If you need me, all go,

415
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: but as give me an extra week. And as we're

416
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: saying this, and mcdermots, the kind of guy cares about

417
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: these say, he'll say, I I want you to be right.

418
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: But as we're saying this, I'm reminded of what happened

419
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: about a month and a half ago when the Bills

420
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: suddenly made Trent Murphy a healthy scratch at a seven

421
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars base salary price tag. Yeah,

422
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: so there's history there, So we'll do it. It will

423
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: it will bear watching, all right, Purp. He's been in

424
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: ever since, though yes he has. All right, we have

425
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: to take a quick break. We will let you know

426
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: what our Twitter poll is when we return. We've got

427
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: a goodie for you today and we'll want you to

428
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: chime in on that at One Bills Live. So if

429
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: you can't wait till we come back from the break,

430
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: you can take a look there on Twitter right now,

431
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: and also coming up in a little over a half

432
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,479

Speaker 1: Morning Football, so make sure you stay tuned for that.

434
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: It's going to be entertaining, to say the least, because

435
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia came out after Kyle Brandt in force, and

436
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: we will be going over that with him. Said something

437
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: nice about Tuah. Yeah, that was the mistake. But we'll

438
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: get into all of that when we return here on

439
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,760

00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: they're off on Thursday for Thanksgiving, and we'll be going

444
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: to catch up with Maddie Glab for all the injury updates,

445
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,080

00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: the bye week. We also have the Twitter poll which

Speaker 1: one Bills Live on Twitter, and the question is if

451
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: the Bills are to go the distance, the offense must

452
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: look like a ride or die with Josh in the

453
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: passing game, be the weather is turning, need to balance

454
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: things out with the run game, or see if this

455
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,600

Speaker 1: let us know what you think. You must see the

457
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: answer there. It is a hoss race. It is tight.

458
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: A little over a little under thirty nine percent of

459
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: the vote for ride or Die with Josh and the

460
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: passing game thirty almost thirty three percent whether it's turning,

461
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: got to add some balance with the run game or

462
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven We got about twenty eight percent there going

463
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: to say, if they're all healthy, it ain't gonna matter this.

464
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: I've got it even closer than that on my Twitter

465
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: fees thirty six point four to thirty seven point one

466
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: A and B. It's It's a good question, because this

467
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: team has been able to light it up against anybody

468
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: when they're healthy and b the weather's been they've struggled

469
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: when the weather's been bad. The Chiefs game, they struggled.

470
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: It was a porn rain. They didn't they didn't play

471
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: well offensively or as well offensively. I'm gonna throw something

472
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: else out there too. If you look at their upcoming schedule, Steve,

473
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: they are going to be playing four passing defenses that

474
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: are in the top fifteen in the league, and they

475
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: really haven't faced many top pass defenses. New England was

476
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: one of them, and that was a tight game and

477
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: they had to run the ball. Okay, So you've got

478
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: the La Chargers this week, who or thirteenth against the pass.

479
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: You've got San Francisco, who, despite all their injuries, are

480
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: still fourth in the league against the pass, Pittsburgh third

481
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: in the league against the pass, Denver, New England sixteenth,

482
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: Miami twentieth. So you better start running the football a

483
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: little bit better here right away. Well here's the thing too, though,

484
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: and this is from Matt Perino last night. I sent

485
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: this to you guys, to the crew last night. The

486
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: Bills have played seven teams so far to have a

487
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: record that was five hundred or above. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

488
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: they're four and three in those games, and they're hail

489
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: married from being five and two against the seven teams

490
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: with winning records. No other team has played more than five. Yeah,

491
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins played four and the Steelers have only played three.

492
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: The Bill. Anybody's debating that they've build a tough schedule.

493
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: The Bills have played well in maybe as tough as

494
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: schedule as there's been in the National Football League. And

495
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: they're seven and three and should and they're dropping. They're

496
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: a freakish play away from an eight and two. Yeah,

497
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: eight and two. This is a good football team. I'm

498
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm not getting caught up in, you know, the teams

499
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: that the Bills are playing, because nobody on that schedule

500
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: is as daunting as having the Bills on their schedule.

501
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: They're not as donating for the Bills as having the

502
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 1: Bills on their schedule. The Steelers. Yeah, I'll give you that,

503
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: but the Steelers, looking at their schedule, the Bills are

504
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: the ones that are jumping out to them too. Yeah,

505
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: you look at their schedule. San Franz got to play

506
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Seattle twice, Arizona twice in the Rams twice, so San

507
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: franc being number four against the pass. Playing those teams,

508
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, especially with all their injuries, and I

509
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: know they're a shell of what they were at the

510
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: beginning of the season when they were fully healthy. The

511
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: point I'm trying to make is these better pass defenses

512
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: may be good enough to force the Bills to have

513
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: to turn to something else offensively to lean on, especially

514
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: with the way we saw the New England game play out.

515
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: Let me just say this though, about the forty nine ers.

516
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: They played the Jets, the Giants, the Eagles, the Dolphins,

517
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Come on, they're saying that has more to

518
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: do with why they're fourth and against the past than

519
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: anything else. Yes, they beat the Jets and Giants. They

520
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: did beat the Rams and the Patriots, but they got

521
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: beat by the Eagles, the Dolphins, the Cardinals, the Seahawks,

522
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: and the Packers and the Saints. They've lost too, so

523
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: they've gotten beat by some good teams too. Yeah, but

524
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: you know the Niners are they have not run the

525
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: gauntlet like the Bills have, even though they got to

526
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: play their three division opponents twice. I mean, let me

527
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: just the Bills are a Hailmayer away from being three

528
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: and on that division, but were both of those games

529
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: were All of those games that they played were dog fights,

530
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: with the exception maybe of the Seattle game, which I

531
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: think the score is kind of a little bit of

532
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: it's not a good representation. I think the Bills had

533
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: that game in hand for the bat They led the

534
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: whole way. They never trailed. The Rams game was a

535
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: dog fight in a different way. It was kind of

536
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: one side of one way fighting themselves in the second half,

537
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: not a little bit. And you know, the Arizona game

538
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: was a dog fight because that went back and forth.

539
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: Niners had to play all three of those teams twice,

540
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: and I know they got to play the Jets and

541
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, so did the Bills. So you know, I'm

542
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: just I'm trying to look at it as objectively as

543
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: I can. I'm just I just know what coach McDermott's

544
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: philosophy is. He believes in balance Offensively, I don't think

545
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna dismiss the success that the passing game has

546
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: had in any way, shape or form. But I think

547
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: in the back of his head his conscience is telling

548
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: him we gotta get a little more attraction in the

549
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: run game and be a better compliment to this passing game,

550
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: or Josh is going to get killed at some point

551
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: in time. Because we already talked about this last week, Steve.

552
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: The Bills this season have been blitzed at the third

553
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: highest rate in the league. Well why is that? It's

554
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: due in part to the fact that teams need to

555
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: help their guys on the back end, because the receivers

556
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: are very good and get early separation. But it's also

557
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: because they're not worried about the run game, right, go

558
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: get the quarterback. They're not worried about this Bill's run game,

559
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: and I think they have to strike a little bit more.

560
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't think fears the word, but at least present

561
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: a running game as a point of concern for their

562
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: future opponents if they want to really go really, really deep.

563
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: We got to really do is you got to force

564
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: these teams that are going to play to play it honest,

565
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: right That's what you gotta do. You gott to force

566
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: them to play it honest. Right now. I don't think

567
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: the Bills run game has gotten them to that point,

568
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: but their passing game has been so good that it

569
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: hasn't come back to bite them. Yet certainly there have

570
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: been times when you why can't we run the ball?

571
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: And it's been frustrating at times, But this is this

572
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: is in the midst of a team that's that's going

573
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: on a run. So if you can just get them

574
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: to play it honest and I think they got a

575
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: little mileage from the New England game in the subsequent weeks.

576
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: But still you're right, you need to be productive in

577
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: the run game and just because of what it can

578
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: give you in the passing game. On the way on

579
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: the side of the defense, what they're looking at. Yeah,

580
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: break time for us when we return. We'll check in

581
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: on the sidelines at practice with Mattie Labs. See who's up,

582
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: see who's down, See who's ready to return to action

583
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: as this team comes off the bye week to get

584
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: ready for the Chargers back in a moment. Here on

585
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, it's Buffalo

586
00:32:45,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Brown Steve Tasker One Bills Live. Time for

587
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: us to head out to the practice field, and they're

588
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: patrolling the sidelines as she does every week. Is our

589
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: colleague Maddie Glab who's out there on an overcast day

590
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: taking in the action. Maddie, thanks for joining us. Why

591
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: don't you lead us off with maybe some of the

592
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: bigger names that you do not see out there right now? Yeah, definitely.

593
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: Let me just start off by saying, now we've entered

594
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: the time of the year where I'm just going to overdress,

595
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: meaning were way too many layers, because I feel like

596
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of weak towards winter. Even though I

597
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: grew up in Chicago, like the last eight years I've

598
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: spent in warm weather, and so these tempts are they

599
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: still hit me a little bit different. So, yeah, I've

600
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: got my big winter coat on, and I feel good

601
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: about it because I'm not freezing right now. So I

602
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: just wanted to start off. Yeah. Well, it's like Steve

603
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: always says. Steve has this motto about when you're going

604
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: outdoors for any extended period time, say it. You can't

605
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: put it on if you don't bring it with you.

606
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: That's right, exactly. I'd rather be sweating than freezing out here.

607
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: But anyways, let's start off with some of the big

608
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: names on offense. Somebody who I think all of us

609
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: were hoping would be out here today that is not

610
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: is wide receiver John Brown. If we remember back to

611
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals game, he came out with that ankle injury.

612
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: Looked like he was limping on it a little bit

613
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: throughout the game on certain and different plays. So he

614
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: has not been out here. I didn't see him during

615
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: stretch or anything like that. Another player that is missing

616
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: that I kind of thought would be out here too,

617
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: tight end Dawson Knox. He was activated from that COVID list.

618
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: But remember he was dealing with injuries before he was

619
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: put on that COVID list, so he's not out here either.

620
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: But guys who have been also activated off the COVID

621
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: list as early as today was Josh Norman. He is

622
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: back out here. Levi Wallace is back out here. Tyler

623
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: Croft is out here. Those were two of the three

624
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: other guys who were put on the COVID list due

625
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: to Josh Norman also being put on the COVID list.

626
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: Dean Marlowe is that final player who's added to that list,

627
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: who's now off it and out here at practice today.

628
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: And so what about Josh Norman. He was taken off

629
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: the COVID list this morning. Is he practicing today? Yes,

630
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: Josh Norman, who has taken off the list today. He

631
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: is out here practicing today. No red jersey for him,

632
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: because let's remember, before he was put on the COVID list,

633
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: he was also one of those players who were injured.

634
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: So he looks like he's good to go out here.

635
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: The only player that I see in red right now

636
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: is aj Apanessa. If we run back to the Cardinals game.

637
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: He came out of the game with a concussion. So

638
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: he's out here in red and has been practicing. One

639
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: of the big questions we've been bandying about here this morning, Maddie,

640
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: is the offensive line. What do you see? What can you?

641
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: Are you allowed to tell us about what's going on

642
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: on that end of the field. I don't know if

643
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to tell you much. Steve. I'm not trying

644
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: to get trouble today, okay, but I will say that

645
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: Cody Ford is out here. He's someone who didn't play

646
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals game. Mitch Morris is out here, John Feliciano,

647
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: the regular run in the mill line of guys are

648
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: out here practicing today for the offensive line. Nobody isn't

649
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: read over there. We do know that there is the

650
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: saga of Mitch Morrise, will he play at center? This week.

651
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: That storyline and narrative has been drawn out into this week,

652
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: as many reporters asked Sean McDermott about Mitch Morse and

653
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: the ordeal. But he's out here practicing, so we'll see

654
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: what happens on Sunday. I guess another player that just

655
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: crossed my mind was Taiwan Jones, Maddie, we know that

656
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: he missed the game last week. He's been dealing with

657
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: a hamstring. Any info on his whereabouts? Yeah, Taiwan Jones

658
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: is out here today. I'm looking down my list trying

659
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: to see if I missed anybody that I didn't say.

660
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: We do know Matt Milano is still on the IR

661
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: with that peck injury. He's not out here. Someone that

662
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: is also on the IR but is out here is

663
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgens. He's wearing number sixteen, has a helmet. He's

664
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: been out here throughout most of the year, just without

665
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: a helmet. Now he has a helmet and is involved

666
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: in practice today. So good to see him out here.

667
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, no sign of Matt Milano yet. And just

668
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: real quick, as far as aj Epenessa goes, I know

669
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: you said he's into Red Jersey, but he's got a

670
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: helmet and he's participating doing football stuff. Yes, he is

671
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: in a red jersey and participating right now. They're in

672
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: individual drills and he's in the line to take some turns,

673
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: okay with the defensive linemen. So all right, so that's

674
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: certainly a good sign. All right, Maddie. I think you've

675
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: brought us up to speed because I think we covered

676
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: about fifteen players. So thanks for getting the launching right

677
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: out to us. We appreciate all the info and getting

678
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: into every nook and cranny of the Bill's injury list

679
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: coming off the bye. We appreciate it. Yeah, no problem, guys.

680
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: Hopefully they continue to get healthier before Sunday hits. Amen

681
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: to that. All right. That's Mattie glad our colleague on

682
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: the Bills sidelines. They are a practice today and we

683
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: want to remind people there will not be an injury

684
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: report today. They do not have to submit an injury

685
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: report until Wednesday of a game week. So even though

686
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: they moved up their practice schedule to Tuesday Wednesday to

687
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: give the players off on Thanksgiving, they do not have

688
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: to put out an injury report today. And then, with respect,

689
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 1: Steve to aj Epinessa wearing a red non contact jersey

690
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: but participating in football related activities, that would be an

691
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: indication that he is in step four of the five

692
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: step return to Play Concussion protocol, because once you get

693
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 1: to football related activities, you are cleared for step four,

694
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: which means the only step left for aj Epinessa is

695
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: full medical clear It's not only by the bill's physician,

696
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: but by an independent neurologist who has to medically clear

697
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: him also, and then he would be good and eligible

698
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. So we'll have to see if

699
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: he gets to that point by the end of the week.

700
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: So still in the protocol, but in step four, only

701
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: one more hurdle to clear to get to full medical clearance.

702
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: That clearance that clear is usually if if I'm not mistaken,

703
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: which I know maybe is how he reacts to being

704
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: on the field today and today's extra. When he comes

705
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: in tomorrow, they'll give him a whole new example baseline,

706
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: another baseline test and all that. And if he can

707
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: go through a practice like he's going through today, which

708
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: whatever it entails, well it will be non contact, right

709
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: we know that, But in a practice like this at

710
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: this point of season, not too many guys do have contact.

711
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: But if he goes hard and they have him doing something,

712
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: and if he's not going non contact, if nobody's going contact,

713
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: if everybody's non contact because of the nature of the practice,

714
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: they'll take him off to the side and give him

715
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: some extra stuff to do to test him out so

716
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: that they can give him clearance if he feels okay

717
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow and yeah, right, and so he'll take the baseline

718
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: test tomorrow and so long as he experiences no symptoms

719
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: after yesterday's action and his baseline matches up with what

720
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: his baseline test is that they give everybody at the

721
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, before anybody is in any kind

722
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: of concussion concerns, then he has a chance to get

723
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: out of the protocol by the end of the week.

724
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: But as we know, every case with concussions is different,

725
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: and so we'll just have to see where it goes

726
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: from here. No Tyrrell Dotson, no cam Lewis, and so

727
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: those players, I believe both of them are still on

728
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: injured reserve. I know cam Lewis has already met the

729
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: three game minimum on IR, so he is eligible to

730
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: come off IR and be elevated to the active roster

731
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: again as soon as they believe he is capable of

732
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: doing so. We remember he had the risk injury in

733
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: his first career start, was out of the lineup in

734
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: the first quarter. He also had a pick. Didn't he

735
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: in that game? Or was that? No? No, who was that? Oh?

736
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: I don't think lewis he didn't play long enough. Oh

737
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson had that? Yeah, Dane Jackson. So Cam lewis

738
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: still on IR as of right now, but could be

739
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,479
Speaker 1: elevated at any point in time because he's already missed

740
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: the minimum of three games. Matt Milano is not eligible

741
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: to return this week. He has to miss this game

742
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: against the Chargers for it to be three total games

743
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: while on IR, and then he would be eligible to

744
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: return next week against the forty nine Ers. That would

745
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: be the first game he would be eligible to return,

746
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: provided he's healthy enough to do so. So that's Matt

747
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: Milano's situation. And then the other bit of news that

748
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: we got from Maddie Isaiah Hodgins now cleared to practice,

749
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: so he is still on injured reserve, where he's been

750
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: all season long. Has been out there running through some

751
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: drills without a helmet in a limited compare acity, but

752
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: now fully elevated and able to practice seemingly fully. And

753
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: so we'll just have to see where that goes. And

754
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, Steve and I are looking at each other saying, hey, well,

755
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if they really need him. Their receiving

756
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: corps is so deep. But with the wake COVID's going

757
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: right now across the league, I think it's a smart

758
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: move by the Bills to have him out there practicing.

759
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: Even though he's on IR, he can practice. So to

760
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: have him practice and up to speed on the goings

761
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: on through the course of the week, learning the game

762
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: plans each week, I think that's beneficial in the event

763
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: that you need him, Right, you say, like, well they

764
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: got Isaiah, they got seven guys and that includes Duke Williams,

765
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: they got Jay Kum all these guys, say that, well,

766
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: you probably will need I Hodgens, And then you look

767
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: at think to yourself about the least him. Wh a

768
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: You say that, but you gotta think anything about All

769
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: you need is one guy in the receiver room to

770
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: turn up positive on the COVID list, hang on to

771
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: how many guys are you gonna have get wiped out

772
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: by contact? Basically it's crazy, you know, determined as close contact,

773
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: so you get everybody ready that you can in any

774
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: given week. As I see it, you cannot. You cannot

775
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: have enough good football players. And particularly I am a

776
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: little perplexed by the Dawson Knox app since though Steve

777
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: and here's why he played against Arizona. I know he

778
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: had the calf injury. First, he was on the COVID

779
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: list while he also had a calf injury, came off

780
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: the COVID list, was still dealing with a calf injury.

781
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: But then he played in the Arizona game, so I

782
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: needed not turn up on the injury report. No game,

783
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: so as far as I knew, he finished the game,

784
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: because you didn't have Tyler Croft, he played a lot

785
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: in that game. That could be it could be something like,

786
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 1: you know, family issues or something he's you know, took

787
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: a day off or whatever he had, But yeah, you

788
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. We won't know. We will

789
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: know by the end of the day today because as

790
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: we said, the injury report does not come out until tomorrow.

791
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: There's no thing, particularly, there's no evidence one way or

792
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: the other to why he's not there, and certainly he

793
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: hasn't been on the injury report, so right, Yeah, he

794
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: played in the last game against Arizona, so he said

795
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: there is no sign of him out. He could have

796
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: had he could have injured himself in a workout hearing

797
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: the bye week, because all these guys come in and

798
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: do us and he could have tweaked something, you know,

799
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: and it might be minor, might be major. No, no,

800
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: don't know. But given the fact that we don't even

801
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: know who's playing on the offensive line, they're not going

802
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: to tell us anything about well. Right, and the John

803
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: Brown absence certainly is a little bit of a concern.

804
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: We know he was already dealing with the left knee injury,

805
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: then he suffers the right ankle injury in the Arizona game,

806
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: leaves that game prematurely and not practicing today. Now we

807
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: have to also remember, as he had been nursing that

808
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: nagging knee injury along, he had routinely missed one day

809
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: of practice every single week leading up to the Arizona

810
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: game this past week, and then obviously suffered an additional

811
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: injury and is now probably dealing with two injuries. The

812
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: hope was that the bye week served him well in

813
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: terms of being off of that, both of those injuries

814
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 1: for you know, the better part of ten days here.

815
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: But we don't know the severity of the ankle injury

816
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 1: that he suffered against Arizona. We don't know the severity

817
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: of the knee injury and how much those improved, if

818
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: at all, through the course of the bye week. So

819
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: that's something that's gonna bear watching obviously here in the

820
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: days to come. Yeah, and it's it's you think about it,

821
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: it's like, well, just giving the extra day on the

822
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: bye week and where everybody comes back to practice, will

823
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: give him even the next day and give him that

824
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: veteran's day of rest. And then you come back on

825
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Then the Thursday he'll have off again. Friday

826
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: will be a nothing practice, and Saturday, you know, Friday,

827
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: Saturday will be nothing. So and there's there's two full weeks.

828
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's any question this offense is

829
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: different with him in the lineup. I mean I think

830
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: they are. I think when he's caught because he played

831
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: in the Titans game but he didn't catch a pass

832
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: because he wasn't really right in that game either. But

833
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: I think this team is five and one when he

834
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: catches at least a pass in a football game five

835
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: and one and the one loss is the Arizona game. Right.

836
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: I think this is more about you know, him coming

837
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: back ready to play and not having to. I mean today,

838
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: if it's if it's a normal week, today is a

839
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: run game. They're gonna come out, They're gonna go through

840
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 1: their run games. They're gonna run fits. The running game

841
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: is installed and put into thing, and then tomorrow they

842
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: come out and go seven on seven, which is typically

843
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: how he is so hessed through the week. He would

844
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: usually tomorrow, Yeah, he would usually miss the Wednesday practice,

845
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: but then participate fully on Thursday and Friday because the

846
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 1: Thursday is the like third down day, third and long,

847
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: the passing game is more emphasized, and that's what they

848
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: run through, and he'll you know it seems that makes sense,

849
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: all right, We have to take a break. When we return.

850
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: It is one Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football who

851
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: we have a lot to discuss with, including bad sport

852
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. We have to discuss with him what happened

853
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: in the AFC East while the Bills sat on the

854
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: couch this past weekend. The AFC conference race and some

855
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: mean tweets from Bill's Mafia directed straight at one Kyle

856
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: Brandt and his cohorts at Good Morning Football. We will

857
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 1: go through all of that with our weekly guest when

858
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: we return here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Help.

859
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Healo Bills Radio Network. Sports Date,

860
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: your sports update from One Bill's Drive. The Bills back

861
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: on the practice field as they get ready for Sunday's

862
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: game against the Chargers. Josh Norman back practicing along with

863
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace, Tyler Croft, and Dean Marlowe, all of them

864
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: lifted from the COVID nineteen reserve list and back practicing today.

865
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: Not practicing, however, wide receiver John Brown and tight end

866
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. Jf Andessa is in a red non contact

867
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: jersey as he is still in the concussion protocol. The

868
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: Chargers have been without running back Austin Eckler, a vital

869
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: piece to their offense, since Week four, after he suffered

870
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: a hyper extended knee and hamstring injury which forced him

871
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: to be placed on IR. However, LA might not be

872
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: without him for much longer. Eckler went to his personal

873
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: Twitter account to post a video of him running at

874
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: practice as well as doing some squats on the squat

875
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: rack and said, quote to all my fantasy owners who

876
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: didn't drop me the time draws near end quote. The

877
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: Bills also announced tight end Tommy Sweeney will miss the

878
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: remainder of the season after being diagnosed with myocarditis and

879
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: inflammation of the heart muscle, known as a resulting condition

880
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen infections. Sweeney has not appeared in the

881
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: game this season, as he was on reserve pup from

882
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: the start of the year due to a foot injury.

883
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: He was placed on the COVID nineteen reserve list back

884
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: in October. The Dallas Cowboys have canceled practice today due

885
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: to a non COVID nineteen related medical emergency involving a

886
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: staff member. Dallas is preparing for their annual Thanksgiving Thanksgiving

887
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: Day game against Washington on Thursday. Another sluggish performance in

888
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: primetime for the Bucks and Tom Brady, as Brady threw

889
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: an interception to Ram safety Jordan Fuller in the final

890
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: two minutes on a deep pass that wasn't close to

891
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: intended receiver Cameron brad which sealed the twenty seven twenty

892
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: four win for the Rams. Bucks now one and three

893
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: in prime time this season, with only an unimpressive close

894
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: win over the Giants saving them from being winless. That

895
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: is your sports update here from one Bill's Drive, Chris Brown,

896
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you and joining us to make his

897
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: weekly appearance is one Kyle Brandt from Good Morning Football. Kyle,

898
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: how are you doing this week? Week? I love Thanksgiving.

899
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: Growing up, we would always have the backyard football game.

900
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: We called it the Brandon A lot of memories there

901
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: to injuries, few fights, a little bit of screaming. But

902
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm a big Thanksgiving guy. In terms of my holiday hierarchy,

903
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: it's way up at the top. It is very similar

904
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills and the FC East. That's where

905
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: I would do it. That is right, and I'm going

906
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to give you a reference

907
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: here or an analogy of swords Kyle about this. So

908
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: the Bills are on the couch last week, and I

909
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: kind of like in it. I kind of like in

910
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: it to weekend a Burnie's and the rest of the

911
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: AFC East, namely the Jets, the Patriots, and the Dolphins

912
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: are essentially burning because they were dead on arrival last weekend.

913
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: As none of them posted a victory. Yes, I would

914
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: say then that until further that by saying, Josh Allen

915
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 1: and Trey White are let's see Jonathan Silverman and Andrew McCarthy.

916
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: There you go, well done. Um, why don't we get

917
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: right to this, because let me personalize this. The best

918
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: thing you can do on radio and TV is tell

919
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: personal stories. I've been talking with you guys since August,

920
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,439
Speaker 1: during which time I've routinely, routinely said twelve and four,

921
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: twelve and four. I have not wavered from it. Twelve

922
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: and four. You go on the show once or twice

923
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: and you just say, hey, this to a guy might

924
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: be good. He matters. Dolphins are winning a lot of games.

925
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the Bills are gonna lose the division.

926
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna fall off a cliff. Just saying, guys,

927
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: Tua and the Dolphins are good. That's all you need

928
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: to say to bring on a wrath of Bills fans.

929
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: The second the two atolo is unceremoniously benched in the

930
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: middle of a game, I've been They've had their knives.

931
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: That never mind the turkey, I'm the turkey. They're trying

932
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: to carve me for being so wrong about this whole thing.

933
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: We should you know, and and maybe we've got some

934
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 1: handed we should have you. Let's do this. Why don't

935
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: you read some mean tweets that Bills Mafia have lobs

936
00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: have shot across the battle Thanksgiving appetite, Yeah, the s

937
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: brand with shots across the bow. What read some of

938
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: the tweets that you've gotten all on your timeline? Dolphins

939
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: Broncos is going on. Tua hadn't even reached the sideline

940
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: yet and being relieved in Flores. The word was not

941
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: even out of his mouth yet. And I get a

942
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: tweet here from Rocky Bosha. Rocky Rocky says, let them

943
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: have it, Bills Mafia talking about Mike co hosted me

944
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: and coming to football. They're traders. Did your boy get

945
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: hurt or benched? Either way? King Tua just lost to

946
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: the Broncos long way before he steps into Orchard Park

947
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: on a cold December day for a division title. That

948
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: was just one. I don't need to lash back at

949
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: all these people. I just wonder what great Rocky Bosha

950
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: was in the last time he knew anything about a

951
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: division title. It's not like they're growing on trees on

952
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: there in Buffalo. That's true. Now next there's there's fifty.

953
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: I'll pick a few from Michael. Michael say, Bills Mafia

954
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: is going to want some bye week love and an apology,

955
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: an apology. All week listening to the media talk about

956
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: how the two is going to be the best quarterback

957
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: in the division. Miami is better than Buffalo. Miami is

958
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: six and four two A struggled. So this gentleman, Michael

959
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: wants me and anybody to come on there and say,

960
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry again, sorry for what's saying that Bill's gonna

961
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: be twelve and four. It's men and women. I have

962
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: one here from Christine. Christine tweeted me this is a

963
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: personal one to me. I really like you on Good

964
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: Morning Football and I always listen on one Bills Live.

965
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: But man, you crowning twa is so premature. That's from Christine,

966
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: Chris and Steve. You guys have been here. Do you

967
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: remember at any point me quote unquote crowning. I know,

968
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: well I'm wrong. I just let me just say this

969
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: as part of as part of the family here at

970
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: one Bill's Drive and on a one Bills Live and

971
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: all that, I just it kind of tickles me because

972
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: sometimes it is the it is the the hair trigger

973
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: of all hair triggers that sets the mafia off, right,

974
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean it is. It is like they are the

975
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: jealous girlfriend in a big way. Man, they are. I

976
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: mean you you, yeah, you look, you turn your head

977
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: and look the wrong way. And it's not even about

978
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: It's not even if the girl on the other side

979
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: that you're looking at its pretty. If they think she's pretty, yes,

980
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: then it's why you look at her. I'm not, but

981
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: you might have looked at her. It's also, like Steve,

982
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: I learned this early on. I got married and I've

983
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: been married ten years, and when you go to a wedding,

984
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: there's this whole thing about like it's about the bride.

985
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: There should be no other people wearing white. There should

986
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: be no one who approaches it. It is the bride's day.

987
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: Don't take the attention from her. I feel like twenty twenty,

988
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: certainly an AFC East is the Buffalo Bill's wedding and

989
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,879
Speaker 1: they've been engaged for about twenty some odd years. Don't

990
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: be looking at other women. No one else wear whites.

991
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: The two of your bridesmaid it best don't interrupt our wedding,

992
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 1: and again I said that the Bills are at the bride,

993
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: but they don't want to hear that. It's your point, Steve.

994
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: They're like, it doesn't matter what you actually say, it's

995
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 1: what they think you might be saying. How about this

996
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: from a guy named Steve? I got another and I

997
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: don't Steve. It might actually be, but it says Steve,

998
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 1: how is it possible? I watched Good Morning Football and

999
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt keeps saying two A walks on water, so

1000
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: it was playing well. I wasn't saying he's gonna reinvent

1001
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: the sport. I'm saying it might come down to week

1002
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: seventeen because at the time, the Dolphins had won like

1003
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: five in a row, which, right, you know how many

1004
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: games are the Bills won on a row? Zero. They

1005
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: haven't won a game in two weeks and back three weeks,

1006
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: so maybe it will still come. It almost gets to

1007
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: the point, guys, and then I'll stop. It almost gets

1008
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: the point where I don't believe the Bills are gonna

1009
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: lose the afcast, but I'm almost starting to want to.

1010
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: It's just out of spite, just so I can go

1011
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: back at all these threats, right, yeah, I wouldn't advise

1012
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: that number one because it'll come back to you tenfold.

1013
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: I don't know, Chris got one. Dolphins live on the

1014
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: other line. Yeah right, yeah, Hey, well, you know, you

1015
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do. But uh, I know that.

1016
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,760
Speaker 1: My theory is this, and it's and again we're trying

1017
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: to make sense of social media, so that's probably our

1018
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: first mistake. But my theory is this. I think the

1019
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: reason a lot of Bills fans got perturbed as at

1020
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: all of the two a love that existed not just

1021
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: on your show but in a lot of places, you know, nationwide,

1022
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 1: is because of the love that Josh Allen did not get,

1023
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: at least until this year, with any semblance of significance.

1024
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: And so they look at this guy whose numbers statistically

1025
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: are probably pretty comparable to the first three or four

1026
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: starts that Josh Allen had in this league, and people

1027
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: are already like, watch out for Tuah, look out for

1028
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: this guy. And I think they looked at the way

1029
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,959
Speaker 1: in which the Dolphins were winning, which was in large

1030
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: part due to special teams and defensive touchdowns that were

1031
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: spotting to it sometimes seven, ten, fourteen points, and they're like,

1032
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: why has everybody fallen in love with this guy when

1033
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: he hasn't done squat And I think that's where where

1034
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: the rub was for Bills fans, when they saw all

1035
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: this love being heaped onto it by you, by other people,

1036
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: whoever it was, even the slightest bit of effusive praise was,

1037
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: as Steve said, the hair trigger. And you just fell

1038
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: right into the trap and got it and then some

1039
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: in a gigantic way, and probably not deservingly so, right,

1040
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: And I think so too, because I've done it too.

1041
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: I used to cover the NFL for CBS. I'd go

1042
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: around do different games around there, and you got to know,

1043
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: they're really good players all over the league, and it's

1044
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: your job to acknowledge them, whether they're for your arch

1045
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: rival or not. If you're a Bills fan, and that's

1046
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. I mean, that's your job now.

1047
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: And there are good players, listen this just then, there

1048
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: are really good players on other teams other than the

1049
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And just because you Kadam and acknowledge him

1050
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: does not mean that you don't love your team. It

1051
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: just means they're in a really good league. And it's

1052
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: so easy, and I'm with Brownie too. I think, yeah,

1053
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: the lack of respect the Josh Allen, or at least

1054
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: the delay in getting the respect that we felt he

1055
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: deserved a long time ago. I think that has really

1056
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: continued to rub Bills fans the wrong way, even in

1057
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: the midst of a seven and three start, which as

1058
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: a hail Mary from being an eight and two start.

1059
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, Bills fans are really bummed that even now,

1060
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: Josh he's just another guy. You know. I agree, And

1061
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: here's here's how I would respond to that, though. I

1062
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: think that Josh Allen and tah we're playing with very

1063
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: different decks coming into the league. All Right, Josh Allen,

1064
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: all we knew was the hype. Ninety five percent of

1065
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: people didn't really see him play much in college and

1066
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: a much a bottom knew he had a big arm,

1067
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: and he was he was a guy you could be

1068
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: excited about. TOA was a sensation. TOA was inserted a

1069
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: halftime of a national title game and came and pulled

1070
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: miracles out of his backside. He's he's different. He's a

1071
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: little shorter than some guys, he's left handed, he's got

1072
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: a cool name. He was fun, he was exciting. It's intoxicating.

1073
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: We saw what he was capable of. I've said it

1074
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: from the beginning about tah I think if he had

1075
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: not gotten hurt, it beyond the Bengals right now. I

1076
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: don't think they would have taken Joe Burrow. Tua Tongo

1077
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: Vlo was the best player in the country. He was

1078
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: the best amateur player in the world until he got hurt.

1079
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: So when he starts getting hot, even though he wasn't

1080
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: playing that great during the winster, he was playing fine.

1081
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: It's intoxicating, and it's certainly in our show in the

1082
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: morning and kind of what I do for a living.

1083
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: I touched the hot stove. I want something to be

1084
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: excited about. I love Josh Allen. We all remember listen

1085
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: when he's jumping over Vikings as a rookie and he's

1086
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: being a little maniac like that. We were going crazy

1087
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: for him too. I just don't remember him doing what

1088
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: he was doing in the middle of a five game

1089
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: winning streak as Dolphins. But it's settled now, and frankly,

1090
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: it'll be really settled week seventeen, which is just around

1091
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: the corner. Let me ask you this, if you were

1092
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: drafting today, do you take Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert or Tua.

1093
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: If you're the number one pick of the draft, it's

1094
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: that No, it isn't. Well Listen, based on what we've

1095
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: seen in the small samples, I guess I can't draft

1096
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: Ta unless I really have faith in his talent. We

1097
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: have a look at him now. It's not like a

1098
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: real draft. We've seen him, and I gotta say, I

1099
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: don't know how you could not draft Justin Herbert. I

1100
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go with him and Burrowsman's game, and two,

1101
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: I still think in the long term is gonna be good.

1102
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: But Man Herbert, And obviously it matters hugely for Bills

1103
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: and Bills Mafia right now. But bad team seemingly a

1104
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: jinx team. And I don't even care. I don't care

1105
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: about the team in the record for a second. Don't

1106
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: you guys think, having seen as much football as you've

1107
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: seen that when he just dropped back and throws, he

1108
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: just has it. I can't explain it any more sophisticated

1109
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: than that. When you see someone like a Ray Allen

1110
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: just shoot a jump shot, You're like, Wow, he's amazing.

1111
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful, pure thing, like he was put on

1112
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: this planet to do it. When I watched Herbert throw,

1113
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm in I don't even see the

1114
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: end of the past. The end of the past might

1115
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: even be intercepted. There's something about Herbert that's intangible, where

1116
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: he just looks great. And this is after this terrible,

1117
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: the terrible haircut. I still like, he's still looks great. Yeah.

1118
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,959
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with Herbert and the Bills

1119
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,959
Speaker 1: are gonna have the Hens Bowl with him because he chucks,

1120
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: he's not afraid. Yeah, I think we were happy, well

1121
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: maybe slightly removed, indirectly happy that you know, the guy

1122
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: gets a haircut and he wasn't He didn't prove to

1123
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: be Samson. He still had a good game. It's the Jets.

1124
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: But we were talking about this on the show the

1125
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: other day, Kyle, actually it was yesterday. Yeah. You look

1126
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: at justin Herbert's numbers. They're almost identical to Josh Allen's numbers.

1127
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: And he's got one less start than Josh does I mean,

1128
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: And they're the same height, the same weight, pretty much

1129
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: the same arm strength, pretty much the same athleticism. It's

1130
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: all just like a carbon copy. Yeah, I know, And

1131
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: that's all you want, Like Frankly, I'm not looking for

1132
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: these rookie quarterbacks to win divisions or go to Super Bowls,

1133
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: to do anything like that. Are they tough and they fearless?

1134
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: Can they run around a little bit? Especially now, I

1135
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: want someone who can run? And I borrow Herbert and

1136
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: all these guys as were looking at their numbers, they

1137
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: don't blink. Let's think about what happened to Justin Herbert. Remember, guys,

1138
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: his first game action ever was about ten seconds before

1139
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: kickoff when Tybride Taylor's lung got punctured. That's no way

1140
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: to start a against the defending Super Bowl champ. Against

1141
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champs. I remember when you know the

1142
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: first drive went right down the field ran in a touchdown.

1143
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: It's very eerily similar to something Joshwen would have done

1144
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie. And I remember that Minnesota game when

1145
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota was loaded and they were considered a juggernaut in

1146
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: the NFC for sure, and I don't said I don't

1147
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: care one of my I'm just gonna play ball, and

1148
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: he said screw it, ran right through him and they win,

1149
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: and the Herbert thing was fascinated. Now, he hasn't won

1150
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot, but I don't really care that much, so

1151
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: I didn't expect them to win a ton of games

1152
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: in this year. All I want as the rookie tough guy, fearless,

1153
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: and I used that word constantly describe Josh Down fearless.

1154
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Herbert has it too. We were kind of preoccupied with

1155
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers because they're this week's opponent. They're coming into

1156
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, and it's interesting to me anyway that did

1157
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: Howard You mentioned Tyrod Taylor? Yeah? Do we look sideways

1158
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 1: at Anthony Lynn for thinking about Tyrod Taylor over this

1159
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: guy they were. He was adamant that Tyrod Taylor's are

1160
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: starters and they'd watched this guy through the preseason. Did

1161
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: Herbert like hide all this talent and this ability from

1162
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: them and training? I mean, what were they not seeing

1163
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: that this guy goes in with five seconds notice and

1164
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,919
Speaker 1: knocks it out of the park. And even after the game,

1165
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:51,919
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn was like, well, we're gonna look at the film.

1166
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what are you talking about. I mean,

1167
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: in that wild It's not only did they not hive Steve,

1168
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: they were doing it all on HBO. We're right show

1169
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: for the whole country. We're watching Herbert and I hated it,

1170
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: and I let me just say this, Anthony Lynn. If

1171
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: I was to do a ranking of my favorite coaches

1172
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: in the league, is top three, maybe top two. I

1173
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: love the guy. I've hung out with him a couple

1174
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: of times. I just absolutely love him as a person.

1175
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: I love that he's a former running back just a

1176
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: little different. Love him. And I hated how he handled

1177
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: the Tyrode situation because because we've been down this road

1178
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: before with Tyrode, the exact same thing happened in Cleveland

1179
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: when they said, well, you know, Baker Mayfield, let's just wait, no, Tyrod.

1180
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: When people tell you who they are, believe them. And

1181
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Tyrode Taylor has been telling us for years that he

1182
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: is a really good guy and a really good leader

1183
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: who's really limited as a quarterback. You guys know that.

1184
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: So the fact that they were saying, well, no, we're

1185
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: not having an entertained Herbert, not even gonna do it,

1186
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 1: We're not having gonna entertain Baker Mayfield. Come on, I

1187
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: hated how they handled that. And maybe the season starts differently,

1188
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: maybe a dozen who knows. The Chargers still have a

1189
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: way of charging things up, as I like to say,

1190
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: But I did not like that at all. As much

1191
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: as I love Anthony Lynn, who look, he might be

1192
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: coaching for his job, I hope not. But if they

1193
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: fall on their face the last month and they lose

1194
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: this weekend and I don't know, it hasn't been great. Yeah.

1195
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: And we were even saying on the show yesterday Anthony

1196
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Lynn saw Tyrod Taylor up close and personal every single

1197
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: day here in Buffalo. He was on Rex's staff here

1198
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: when Tyrod was playing the conservative way in which he played.

1199
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: He won't turn it over, but most of the time

1200
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna win the game for you either, So yeah, tough.

1201
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: We just had some breaking news Kyle that I want

1202
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: to bounce off of you. I know Steve might be

1203
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: kicking me under the table because he hates when this

1204
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: stuff gets brought up. But the list of Modern Era

1205
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame Player semi fives has been

1206
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: released and Steve Tasker is one of the twenty five

1207
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: names on the list. He has been a semi finalist before,

1208
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: but he is a semi finalist once again. Just your

1209
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: initial impressions, Kyle of him being on that, I'll be

1210
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: very brief, and this is how I feel about these things. Um,

1211
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: I happen to think to no matter what your position,

1212
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: no matter what your role, if you were the greatest

1213
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: to ever do it, I think you were a Hall

1214
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: of Famer. And that would apply to Ray Guy. I

1215
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: believe that applies to Devin Hester. I believe that will

1216
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: apply to Adamvinitarian in a few years. And I believe

1217
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: that applies to the gentleman sitting to your left, Chris

1218
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: in the red with the glasses, trying to pretend like

1219
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: he's not listening to me because he's modest, and the

1220
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,919
Speaker 1: glassy gentleman you're down this road before, Yle, You're gonna

1221
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: have to speak up. I'm not listening. Never mind me

1222
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: for a second. I'll put a sock in it. How

1223
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: do you feel about Steve? I'm whole. Hum. I've been

1224
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: there before. Yeah, he has a semi finally to act

1225
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: like I've been here before. That's what I do. But

1226
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: sometimes those that's how this goes. Steve, You've been there,

1227
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: and you've been there, and then it's that year. I'll

1228
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: just get in, all right. I'll just divulge one thing

1229
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,439
Speaker 1: I don't I don't talk about this stuff very often,

1230
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: but I'm looking at the list just like you are

1231
01:06:58,040 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: on the screen right now. We're all looking at it,

1232
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: and there's guys on there. One of his teammates is

1233
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: on there, and Cornellius Bennett is is it it's Biscuit

1234
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: before me. But also on this list are guy like

1235
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: guys like Calvin Johnson in absolute rubber Stamp, Peyton Manning,

1236
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Yes, rubber stamp, Peyton Manning,

1237
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson absolutely positively rubber stamp. Uh. There are other

1238
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: guys as well that who I thought would be in

1239
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: by now ahead of me. That you know, there are

1240
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: guys on this list that you know, I'm shocked that

1241
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: had to even wait one year, so you know, And

1242
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: like I'm it's like the great Bills players of this franchise.

1243
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: You just gotta go down the list too far to

1244
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: get to my name, so you know. So I'm perfectly

1245
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: fine with that because it's a great conversation to be

1246
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: a part of. But I'm like a lot of people,

1247
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 1: they're you know, I'm happy to be on the list,

1248
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: but my name's you know, it starts with a T.

1249
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: It's at the bottom, so you know, and I'm I'm

1250
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: fine with it. I love I love this list. I

1251
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: love coming. I love the fact that I'm included on it.

1252
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: And I'm getting to be an old guy now and

1253
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of nice. You know that I have grandkids. Yeah,

1254
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: it's cool. And that's about as far as it goes.

1255
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: It's cool my retort, Steve, and I'll do this. I

1256
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: respect for you. I think again, I think you were

1257
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: as good at your position as Charles Woodson wasn't his

1258
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,560
Speaker 1: I do. I think you were as good as a

1259
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: special team as Charles Woodson was as a cornerback. And

1260
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: if you value those things, and if you value the

1261
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 1: complete game and the complete depth chart, you got to

1262
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: respect those things. It can't always be quarterbacks and the

1263
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: wide receivers. It's a whole team game. And those bells

1264
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: things don't do what they did without your contribution. So

1265
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: I will go to it's a battle for you, Steve,

1266
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: even though I know you don't like to do it

1267
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: for yourself. Well, let me just say this. I appreciate it.

1268
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: Thanks so welcome. This is how he does. We get

1269
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 1: phone calls Kyle everyone in a while. And there's a

1270
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: there's a Twitter handle out there that you can find

1271
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: that says Steve Taster should be in the Hall of Fame.

1272
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's that's the whole thing. And then there's

1273
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: like if you believe in there's retweet ups and you know,

1274
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like there's like a small army out

1275
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: there somewhere in Western New York or parts and that

1276
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: is like flying the flag. If I don't have to

1277
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: say it, I should say it anyway. I have absolutely

1278
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that website, Twitter handle that is

1279
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 1: out there, and there is like this grassroots thing that's

1280
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 1: just bubbling under the surface that's out there. And now

1281
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: that he's made the semi finalist list again, I'm expecting

1282
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: this thing to really start to gain some traction again.

1283
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see where it goes. Yeah, Chris,

1284
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: we've really, we really have tapped into like an excruciatingly

1285
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: awkward dynamic with Steve. Oh yeah, Oh he's squirming right now.

1286
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: He's squirming. I can watch him. He's he's he's looking

1287
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: down at something. There's nothing to look at. He's just

1288
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: pretending he's looking at something. And I would do the

1289
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: exact same thing. It's someone lining up to tell you

1290
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,839
Speaker 1: how great you are. If you have any class or upbringing,

1291
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: you complete, you don't sit there and revel in it,

1292
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: unless you know, unless you're one who gets off like that,

1293
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: like Michael Irvin or Dion. But Steve, that's just that's nuts.

1294
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: Your deal. Yeah, it's it's entertaining this hell to watch

1295
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: you squirm. It's awkward at at best. Well, let's why

1296
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: don't we very quickly? You can see this highlight film.

1297
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: My highlight reel is three minutes long, and there repeats

1298
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: in it, so I can just get and it takes

1299
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: three minutes for all of it. So what they do

1300
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: is they flip them Steve instead of left right. That's right,

1301
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: all right, we will we will spare. We will spare

1302
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Steve anymore squirming, and we'll we'll close with this, Kyle,

1303
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: because I know we we try to give you an

1304
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to give your assessment of the Bills upcoming matchup.

1305
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: So we've got a Chargers team coming in here that

1306
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 1: does have trouble in close games, although they won one

1307
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: last week against the Windless Jets, for whatever that's worth.

1308
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:55,719
Speaker 1: Since Week two last year, Kyle, in one score games,

1309
01:10:55,920 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers are three and sixteen. M We don't know

1310
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do with Eckler this week, whether it's

1311
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: this week, next week? What have you but coming up

1312
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: here to Buffalo, second straight cross country trip after playing

1313
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 1: the Jets in Jersey? What say you about Sunday's game.

1314
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 1: My other cohort, Nate Burlison, has a funny way you

1315
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,480
Speaker 1: have describing sometimes this time of year. Once you hit Thanksgiving,

1316
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: you hit a car shipping mode. Now, what the hell

1317
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: does that mean to regular people? Nate explains that for

1318
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: some players in the NFL, especially ones who have good

1319
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: contracts and a lot of money, once the season is over,

1320
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: they start shipping their cars home from wherever they play

1321
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: to wherever they live. So if they live they play

1322
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 1: in Detroit and they actually spend the off season in Arizona,

1323
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: they will put their car or whatever their Ferrari is

1324
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: on a truck and ship it back to Arizona. It

1325
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 1: is their way of mentally checking out of the season

1326
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: and saying, man has been a long year. I'm gonna

1327
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: start going into car shipping. I gotta get my cars

1328
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: Almosa start time to think about the off season. That

1329
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: Chargers are almost in car shipping mode. Now. I don't

1330
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: know if they have to ship him because they're there

1331
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, but maybe they go to Florida, the

1332
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: Bills can and will send them emphatically into car shipping

1333
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: mode coming off of bye, coming off of very pissed

1334
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: off entry to that bye, much better team. I like

1335
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Herbert as much as the next guy, but he doesn't

1336
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: know how to close games yet and this team maybe

1337
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 1: never will you mentioned the one score of games, Brownie,

1338
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 1: I think this is not one of those. I actually

1339
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: think this is a Bill blowout, and maybe I'm trying

1340
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: to get back in the good graces of the Bills camp.

1341
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 1: Who I said, we're going twelve and four all year,

1342
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this is gonna be a big time.

1343
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's some like thirty eight to twenty

1344
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 1: three weeks. We should all we should also mention Sean

1345
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: McDermott undefeated coming out of the bye as a head coach.

1346
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,720
Speaker 1: I know it's a short history of that unbeaten coming

1347
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: out of the bye. Continue thirty eight to twenty three.

1348
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: McDermott wins again, coasting to twelve and four on that

1349
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: Week seventeen showdown with who knows maybe with Ryan Fitzpatrick

1350
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 1: now and not to it. We don't know how the

1351
01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: thing goes with this. We don't have time for this now,

1352
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: but everybody to go to social media and catch Kyle's

1353
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: rant or not rant, but maybe finger wagging at Tom

1354
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Brady about his walking off the Yeah, we didn't get

1355
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: a chance to talk about that, but I know you shared.

1356
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Brownie and I had that conversation before you came on.

1357
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,639
Speaker 1: He's more than just a starting quarterback in the NFL.

1358
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: He's an example, and he's also the face of the league.

1359
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: And every quarterback has a responsibility that go beyond regular players,

1360
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: and I think he shirked that responsibility last night when

1361
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: he did not shake Jared goffshand and I and I

1362
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: appreciate you saying that on Good Morning Football this morning.

1363
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,599

1416
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: the festival. And they can't have to make it like

1417
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: three or four days, because I don't know how you're

1418
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 1: fitting all those people in. I mean, you want to

1419

1420
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm good for them though. That's it's gonna be. That's

1421
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, not for me or anything, but for football fans.

1422
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: That may be the weekend of all weekends to go

1423
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 1: to Kenton for when they inducted, when they induct like

1424
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:56,560
Speaker 1: what two dozen guys in or that would be a

1425
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 1: phenomenal weekend. And all the NFL brethren that know the people,

1426
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: I mean, well, that's why. Gosh, it's gonna be a

1427
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: who's who there. It's I mean, I was. I love

1428
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,560
Speaker 1: it every time I go because you meet guys and

1429
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: you you talk to him and stuff. I remember I

1430
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 1: was sitting there and the last U time we went

1431
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: was with Bill Polly and I believe. And I was sitting,

1432
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, in the stadium, and I turned around, and

1433
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:25,480
Speaker 1: you remember the tight end for the Cowboys, Jay Novacheck

1434
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,560
Speaker 1: played with Aikman and those guys great tight end. I

1435
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 1: turned out he was sitting there with his wife and son,

1436
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,600
Speaker 1: and I introduced myself and I said, hey, how you

1437
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: know because he actually tackled me one time, and uh,

1438
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: I was like hey, And it was great talk talking

1439
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: with him. It's you know, just because you'd cross paths,

1440
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 1: had a little a level of respect and certainly familiarity

1441
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: with his name and the kind of player he was,

1442
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: but you never had a chance to sit down with him.

1443
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: And then like twenty years you know, it's like twenty

1444
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: years later, you'd cross paths with him and it couldn't

1445
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,760
Speaker 1: have been nicer. That's kind of part of the a

1446
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: lure that brings guys back and want to go to

1447
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: just to say hi to people and give him and

1448
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: get a chance to tell him how much you respected

1449
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: him way back in the day when we were young.

1450
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,640
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's definitely cool. I was. I had the

1451
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: privilege of covering mister Wilson and Bruce Smith's induction in

1453
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: exposure to what that weekend is. And I mean it

1454
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: is it feels like hallowed ground when you have all

1455
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: of that talent all collected in one play. I mean

1456
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: it's just Yeah, I think different, I think is my

1457
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,439

Speaker 1: about as well. Ralph had a big Ralph had when

1459
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,559

Speaker 1: was it the Pointer sisters singing at his Wow something

1461
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,879

01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 1: Some people blow it out. They just blow the budgets.

1463
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: Ralph had. Ralph had a big band. Oh my gosh.

1465
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 1: enough to get in the tent as an employee, so

1466
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: we were trying to film some of it too. They

01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: had that cake. They had a cake that was a

1468
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 1: replica of his gold jacket. It was I mean the

1469
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: cake was like three feet tall. It was like a

1470
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: life size Hall of Fame blaze. Yeah, I mean just

1471
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: like it was like a statue. Yeah, it was unbelievable

1472
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 1: and people like, don't cut it. Yeah, it was great.

1473
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun stuff going on there

1474
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: and that, and it's so fun to you know. I

1475
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: remember when Jim got put in, he had a I

1476
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: can't remember whether it was a side room. I can't

1477
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: even remember it. We were in a building. It was

1478
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: like Jim had a back in that. Jim had a

1479
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 1: party every night, right, and we were one of those functions.

1480
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: And we look around and there's we're in the corner

1481
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: of this room and we were sitting down and there

1482
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 1: was a bench in the corner, and there's tables and stuff,

1483
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: and they look around and there was nothing but those

1484
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: the old guys from the nineties and the coaching staff

1485
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: was there, and it was really the first time in

1486
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: all of our lives where the coaches weren't coaches and

1487
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: we weren't players. We were just guys who had been

1488
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 1: in the league together. So we were talking like Nick

1489
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: Nikolau and the guys like Tom Bresnahan and and Teddy

1490
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 1: Marcha Brode and all these guys were there just as guys,

1491
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 1: and we could there was no employer employee coach we could,

1492
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, we could treat him as we were peers

1493
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: for the first time. And I'll never it was. It

1494
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 1: was one of the most gratifying evenings I've ever had

1495
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: of getting to you know, have those guys express honesty

1496
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: about how they felt about the team and what they

1497
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: were like, you know what it was like, because back

1498
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: then it was always like, well, you know, you gotta

1499
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, there was the adult in the room, right, yeah, right,

1500
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: they were the adults in the room. We were the

1501
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: kind of the student meant and to have that go

1502
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 1: away at Jim's induction when it happened because he was,

1503
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, first ballot, and and when we're all still

1504
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: young enough to have what a moment. And that's why

1505
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: when you know, when my guys all go, you know,

1506
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 1: we always always make the trip down and try and

1507
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 1: be there. It's just it's special, special weekend. If there

1508
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: are bills, fans, or you don't have to have one

1509
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 1: of your former teammates be in there, just go. It

1510
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,680
Speaker 1: is awesome to go to Canton for the induction. It is.

1511
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: It is really really cool. All right. So, now that

1512
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 1: we've got that out of the way, we are going

1513
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: to get to the tweet sheet. Because we've had, at

1514
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 1: least in the early going, a pretty balanced poll. I'm

1515
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,759
Speaker 1: not saying it was Georgia like it wasn't the presidential election,

1516
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:25,880
Speaker 1: but it's pretty tight. And so the question we pose

1517
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: to you is if the Bills are to go the

1518
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: distance this season, the offense must look like and we

1519
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: gave some choices. So among those choices are A ride

1520
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 1: or die with Josh and the passing game, B whether

1521
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: it's turning, need to balance things out with the run game,

1522
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: or see if they're healthy. There's no stop on them.

1523
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, and it's still relatively tight right now

1524
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:53,560
Speaker 1: and pulling ahead Steve. The weather is turning. Need to

1525
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 1: balance it out with the run game. Which was where

1526
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: I voted. I don't know where you came. I did

1527
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: not vote. I did not vote. If you did, where

1528
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: would you be here? I'm thinking I think right now

1529
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay with A or B. I think A is

1530
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 1: the engine. It's unquestionably the engine. My concern, as I

1531
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:20,759
Speaker 1: said earlier, my only concern is that people start teeing

1532
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 1: off on Josh even more than we've seen to this point.

1533
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: As we mentioned earlier in the show, the Bills have

1534
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: faced the third most blitzes in the entire league, and

1535
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 1: I think the reason for that is because people don't

1536
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 1: worry about Buffalo's run games, so they say, well, if

1537
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 1: we're going to stop them, we better go hit the quarterbacks. Yeah.

1538
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 1: I think after a while though, that works in Buffalo's favor.

1539
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:45,599
Speaker 1: When you get that on film and Josh and day

1540
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: Ball and Matt Barkley and the quarterback room. You know,

1541
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: when they start seeing it on film and studying it,

1542
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: the defense starts to get predictable and they're dead. Then

1543
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: they're dead. They'll pick him apart Josh and s offense

1544
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: with the guys out there. If the defense starts to

1545
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: get predictable by bringing pressure a little too much or

1546
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: a little more often than they thought they should or whatever,

1547
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: if they think they can really do it, the Bills

1548
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 1: are going to get better and better and better at

1549
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: adapting because there's no magic wand I mean there's no

1550
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 1: If you do this, there's no defense otherwise everybody would

1551
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: do that. It's so the Bills have got are going

1552
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: to have answers to it and for it, and the

1553
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: more they see it, the better they're going to get

1554
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: it handling it so and I think that'll come back

1555
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: to serve him well as the season rolls to a close.

1556
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: And I bet you they've spent probably some time on it,

1557
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: even in this in the bye week as well. So

1558
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: we go to the tweet sheet, which is always is

1559
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1560
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and leading us off

1561
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: there as Jeremy who says the offense is going to

1562
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: have to ride or die with Josh only one game

1563
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 1: out of ten, being successful with a balanced attack isn't

1564
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: the greatest formula for success. Josh will have to continue

1565
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: the pace he's on to keep us playing football late

1566
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: into January. Now, I want to I want you to

1567
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: shape this properly, Steve, because you you kind of lean

1568
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: towards riding or dying with the passing game. Are you

1569
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 1: doing that because you believe so strongly in the passing

1570
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: game that currently exists, or is it because you're kind

1571
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,760
Speaker 1: of questioning if you should have any faith in the

1572
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: running game here. I don't know, not lack of faith,

1573
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: because it's always going to be there. I think Zach

1574
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 1: Moss and Devin Singletary can get it done when it's there.

1575
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 1: And I think this offensive line. The better your passing

1576
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: game is, the better your run game will get and

1577
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 1: it can be the opposite, and I've seen teams go

1578
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: deep and go far, throwing it a lot, a lot.

1579
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: You look back at the Greatest Show on Turf back

1580
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 1: in ninety nine when when Kurt Warner and all those

1581
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 1: guys with the rams about the oilers. That was different.

1582
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 1: It's a different kind of offense, and they struggled to

1583
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 1: run it. And that's why I brought it up right,

1584
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons was that take

1585
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 1: take when we put them out in the Greatest Comeback,

1586
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: they didn't have an answer when they needed to extend

1587
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: the game incomplete pass clock stop more time for us.

1588
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 1: They had to keep their foot on the gas. I

1589
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 1: don't think they ran that offense right. They You can't

1590
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: go into a shell in that offense if you're up

1591
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: thirty five to three, which is what they were, you

1592
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 1: need to try and get up forty two to three.

1593
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: For them, they were just saying, let's just get out

1594
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: of here healthy. That was their downfall. Wasn't so much

1595
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 1: the offensive philosophy. Do you think they were there's their

1596
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 1: approach after they went up by that much. Oh? Absolutely? Okay,

1597
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 1: emotionally too, because I mean there were other years though,

1598
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 1: in the playoffs where they failed, they came up shore.

1599
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,600
Speaker 1: They always failed. Yeah, I mean that's there. That's unfortunately,

1600
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: their their legacy, their epitaph um. They did, and yet

1601
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: they threw the hell out of the ball too, with

1602
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer by the way. So yeah, here's

1603
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 1: the thing though, if you're gonna go, go, don't go

1604
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: until you get up so far you don't think they

1605
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 1: can come back, and then you stopped doing it and

1606
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 1: they can come back. You gotta go. And you got

1607
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 1: if it means you're gonna beat somebody seventy two to three, yeah,

1608
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 1: you kind of gotta beat him seventy two to three.

1609
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, you can't shy away from what you are.

1610
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: And if they say, hey, you're running it up on us, well,

1611
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: you know what, that's all we got. We can't extend

1612
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: the game because we can't run it. You gotta live

1613
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: with that. And team and they were people who could

1614
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: run it. I mean Lorenzo Lorenzo it was a good player,

1615
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 1: was a really good player. And they had two Hall

1616
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 1: of famers on their offensive line and Bruce Matthews and

1617
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: Mike Munchak. They had some guys they couldn't get it

1618
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: done because to me, in retrospect now twenty five years

1619
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: down the road, they didn't have the First of all,

1620
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: they let up on the gas. Yeah, that's first and foremost,

1621
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: and it's hard to turn it back on once you

1622
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: let it up. Secondly, Warren and those guys even in

1623
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: the subsequent things they said. You know, the defensive coordinator

1624
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 1: came over after we were thirty five three, says hey,

1625
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 1: or thirty five ten. He goes, hey, we're gonna have

1626
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 1: to score some more to get and he was like, nah,

1627
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 1: we're all right. They didn't believe it. You gotta you

1628
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: got you gotta believe it. Yeah, you can't. And that's

1629
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 1: what you've seen. It's very and they're an aberration, I

1630
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: think because interesting case. You look at Sean Sean Payton

1631
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints when they won the Super Bowl

1632
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 1: against the New England the Colts Colts in Miami. Sean

1633
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: Payton said, this is one of those games where if

1634
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 1: you're up by ten, you need to get by seventeen.

1635
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 1: If you're up by seventeen, you get by twenty. In

1636
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of the surprise on sidekick, he says, you

1637
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 1: gotta go. And that's they won the game because because

1638
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 1: of that because it was close. So that's you know,

1639
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go if if the Bills come here

1640
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 1: and say, listen, Josh, we're gonna ride and die with Josh,

1641
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:45,479
Speaker 1: like we are in Option A of our poll, that

1642
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 1: means you might be up on a on a team

1643
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight points midway through the third quarter twenty eight

1644
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: to three, like they were against the Rams. You gotta

1645
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:55,679
Speaker 1: keep throwing it, and the Bills didn't do that early

1646
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: in that game that they came back and gave up. Yeah,

1647
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 1: so you gotta If you're to go with it, that

1648
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: means go with it for sixty minutes, not just until

1649
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 1: you think the game is over all. Right, break time

1650
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: for us, But when we return, we'll have our latest

1780
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 1: is your sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown,

1781
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:06,320
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you our number three of the program.

1782
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 1: As we are talking to you today about if the

1783
01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: Bills are to go the distance, the offense must look

1784
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,800
Speaker 1: like what a ride or die with Josh in the

1785
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:21,040
Speaker 1: passing game? B the weather is turning, you need balance

1786
01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:24,120
Speaker 1: with the run game or see if they're healthy, it

1787
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:27,599
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, there's no stopping them. And the poll has

1788
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:31,719
Speaker 1: been rather balanced thus far, which is always an indication

1789
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 1: that it's a good poll. So people think ride or

1790
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: die with Josh out in the passing game thirty five

1791
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 1: and a half percent. Weather's Turney say, need balance with

1792
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 1: the running games thirty nine percents in the lead, and

1793
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 1: then of course if they're healthy, there's no stopping him.

1794
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:47,240
Speaker 1: This twenty six percent of the vote coming in, So

1795
01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:51,720
Speaker 1: that's it's a pretty even vote. I like it. Yeah,

1796
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:53,920
Speaker 1: and we want your thoughts at eight o three oh

1797
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 1: five fifty open line for you there one eight eight

1798
01:36:56,280 --> 01:37:00,559
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. It's an interesting balance here, Steve,

1799
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:03,960
Speaker 1: because there are some people that clearly believe the passing

1800
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 1: game is all they need to go all the way,

1801
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:10,760
Speaker 1: and other people are hold on a second. You know,

1802
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 1: we get a crappy weather day in the playoffs and

1803
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 1: we can't throw the ball. We better be able to

1804
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 1: run it with some degree of success or we're gonna

1805
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 1: be in trouble. Yeah, you're right, And I think the

1806
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:23,680
Speaker 1: reason they feel that way, the amount of people that

1807
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,840
Speaker 1: do feel that way feel that way is because you

1808
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,479
Speaker 1: no longer have that top five defense that can hold

1809
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:32,599
Speaker 1: your team in the game the way the defense has

1810
01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:35,160
Speaker 1: here the past two years. It's a concern, no question

1811
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 1: about it. But my thought is this, if your offense

1812
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 1: is that good, then let it be that good. Don't

1813
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:42,599
Speaker 1: try and change it. Don't try and evolve away from

1814
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 1: what you do well. Teams are really struggling with this

1815
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: quarterback and this crew wide receivers, and this offensive line

1816
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: has done a really nice job of protecting Josh and

1817
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 1: giving him a chance to stand back there and throw it. Certainly,

1818
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 1: there's been teams who have gotten some pressure, and teams

1819
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 1: have found out that if you can pressure Josh, that's

1820
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 1: your best chance. But if you don't get that pressure,

1821
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 1: you're done. Certainly, Josh against man to man coverage, Josh

1822
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: is carving people up, and now they're starting to do

1823
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:15,559
Speaker 1: it against his own coverage a little bit more as well.

1824
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,400
Speaker 1: The more reps they give Josh Allen in this passing game,

1825
01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 1: the better it's gonna be. And the more things that

1826
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: defenses due to try and get them out of that,

1827
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 1: it just gives them all the more reps against what

1828
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: teams will be able to do in the future. So

1829
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,679
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very optimistic about how this passing game can play.

1830
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: I know they can match up against anybody if the

1831
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 1: if the conditions are right and they're healthy, this team's

1832
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 1: gonna score points. So just be ready for that. If

1833
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,639
Speaker 1: you're coming in to play this team, this Buffalo team,

1834
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 1: the only chance you've got is for a snowstorm or

1835
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 1: a blizzard to hit, and it could happen. It could happen,

1836
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:58,719
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna happen this weekend. And unless you want,

1837
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,640
Speaker 1: unless you want to count on the weather winning the

1838
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 1: game for you, you better come up with a way

1839
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: to get to Josh Allen and get him on the

1840
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 1: ground because right now and people are having a hard

1841
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 1: time doing that. Yeah, I mean I would agree. Um,

1842
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: I just worry about them being so one dimensional that

1843
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: if some team finds a way to at least neutralize

1844
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 1: that with enough effectiveness and they have an offense that

1845
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:26,640
Speaker 1: can put up points, you know, the Bills could be

1846
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 1: up a creek. Yeah, I get it. And that's always

1847
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: that's that doesn't change even if you've got a running

1848
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 1: game and a passing game. You know, if they find

1849
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: a way to neutralize your offense, what it comes down

1850
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:39,599
Speaker 1: to is getting them off the field on third down,

1851
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:43,519
Speaker 1: getting them off the field and stopping them in the

1852
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:45,680
Speaker 1: red zone. That's what the Patriots have done for two

1853
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:48,719
Speaker 1: decades under Bill Belichick. They'll give you a yards for Christmas,

1854
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 1: but they you know, but they keep you out of

1855
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 1: the end zone and it keeps the game close. That's

1856
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:56,240
Speaker 1: what the Patriots have done this year. Even though they're

1857
01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 1: on the losing end of more games than usual, they're

1858
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 1: in those games. There's they don't they're not getting blown out.

1859
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:05,760
Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to whether you're a one

1860
01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: dimensional team or you have a balance attack. It comes

1861
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 1: down to third down in the red zone. So if

1862
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 1: you're that good, just display the faith in it. When

1863
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:19,640
Speaker 1: it's fourth and short and you're a throwing team, throw it.

1864
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't care pick it up. You know, you do

1865
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:25,760
Speaker 1: with what you go with what you have, go with

1866
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:29,560
Speaker 1: your strength. So I'm if you're that good, act like

1867
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:32,479
Speaker 1: it and depend on it and rely on it and

1868
01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:35,640
Speaker 1: make it better. So if the Bills need to go

1869
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: and throw it forty times a game and run it

1870
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 1: six times a game into the playoffs, that's fine, but

1871
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 1: you better be ready because teams are going to have

1872
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 1: an answer for it. And and I think at this

1873
01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 1: point the Bills are a handful if even if they

1874
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:51,640
Speaker 1: do become one dimensional early in the game. This just

1875
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:55,040
Speaker 1: coming down from NFL Networks Tom Pella Sero. The Chargers

1876
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 1: plan to designate running back Austin Eckler for return from

1877
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,599
Speaker 1: injured reserve this week, according to a source. Not yet

1878
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 1: clear if he'll play Sunday against the Bills, but Eckler

1879
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 1: will practice for the first time since a significant hamstring

1880
01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:11,640
Speaker 1: injury in Week four. So back in Week four, he

1881
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:15,599
Speaker 1: had a bad hyper extended knee and a bad hamstring injury.

1882
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 1: It was a Grade two strain. They said, I don't

1883
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:19,960
Speaker 1: know if that's a tear. I'm not a doctor. I

1884
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:23,280
Speaker 1: don't as sign those. But he hasn't played since week four,

1885
01:41:23,720 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: so we're going on two months now since he last played.

1886
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:30,720
Speaker 1: So it was significant. I think that's safe to say.

1887
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:33,120
Speaker 1: But if he's back in the mix, that is a

1888
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 1: versatile weapon for them. Yeah, that's almost the point where

1889
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:40,800
Speaker 1: it was such a horrific hamstring injury that you had

1890
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:45,439
Speaker 1: to rest it and get treatment on so, you know,

1891
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 1: so intensely that the rest of your body got out

1892
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 1: of shape for two months, you know what I mean.

1893
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:51,760
Speaker 1: So then once it was healed, then you had to

1894
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:53,640
Speaker 1: start from scratch getting back into shape to get on

1895
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:56,200
Speaker 1: the fields you can start playing again. That's how long.

1896
01:41:56,439 --> 01:41:59,760
Speaker 1: That's how long two months is? I mean, that's that's

1897
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 1: a long time. Six weeks, seven weeks, so he was

1898
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 1: he probably had to get you know, he couldn't even condition.

1899
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 1: You can't even ride a stationary bike, so he had

1900
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 1: to start from scratch getting into shape. And I imagine

1901
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 1: even if he's active for this Bills game, he'll be

1902
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:17,080
Speaker 1: on a pitch count just to watch his condition. Yeah,

1903
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:20,840
Speaker 1: you would think, because even if he's one hundred percent healthy. Yeah,

1904
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 1: the high rate of intensity, you know, short high rate

1905
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 1: of intensity bursts that football is you know, for four

1906
01:42:29,040 --> 01:42:32,640
Speaker 1: or five seconds. That puts a lot of stress on

1907
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 1: your muscles. And as as hard as these strength and

1908
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 1: conditioning coaches and athletic trainers work to keep scar tissue

1909
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 1: out of those muscles. Yeah, I mean, when you have

1910
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 1: an injury that severe, it's a challenge. It's always a

1911
01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 1: shock when you go out and you train and you train,

1912
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 1: and you train really hard, and you work really hard

1913
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 1: and you're sweating buckets and you're sore and you're stiff,

1914
01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 1: and you're just exhausted after a workout and you just

1915
01:42:57,120 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 1: can't you can't, you know, you just put yourself through

1916
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:02,840
Speaker 1: that to get to play. Then you step on the

1917
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 1: field and the adrenaline kicks in and it's a level

1918
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 1: like you you you're like, what is going on? Yeah,

1919
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: it is unbelievable the intensity that you yourself turn it

1920
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:19,439
Speaker 1: up to when it's for real and you're playing. When

1921
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,840
Speaker 1: you're playing that you're competing with guys who are trying

1922
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: to keep you from winning. You know, it's you're out

1923
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 1: there by yourself on the practice fields. You're running, you're lifting,

1924
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: you're doing all this. You gotta workout partner or workout coaches.

1925
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,080
Speaker 1: They're kind of grinding, you know, yelling at you, come out,

1926
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 1: come on all that, and it's all intense and you're

1927
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: doing it as hard as you can. Still different you

1928
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:38,720
Speaker 1: turn the lights on, they hand you a ball in

1929
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 1: the game, it is it's another plan for it is unbelievable.

1930
01:43:44,120 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 1: The difference that is. So that's you know, when Eckler

1931
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 1: gets on the field, it'll come back to him quick,

1932
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 1: no doubt. But I'm telling you you can't prepare for it.

1933
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 1: You got to just hope you're in good enough shape

1934
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:55,400
Speaker 1: to get through. What about the bills preparing for him?

1935
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:57,439
Speaker 1: You know a guy that they don't have any film

1936
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:01,599
Speaker 1: on since in two months, like their offense has changed

1937
01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:04,600
Speaker 1: pretty dramatically. It I mean, it's a problem, There's no

1938
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:06,479
Speaker 1: question it's a problem. You're gonna have to go back.

1939
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 1: You're back and look at film and you probably have

1940
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:09,320
Speaker 1: a book on him. You go back and look at

1941
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:10,760
Speaker 1: last year when he was at his best for the

1942
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:12,560
Speaker 1: first four weeks, and how they liked him and what

1943
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:14,400
Speaker 1: they used him for and what he was good at,

1944
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,680
Speaker 1: what he wasn't good at, and and you would anticipate,

1945
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 1: you know, you got to be ready in case the

1946
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 1: guy comes out and he's all of a sudden, you know,

1947
01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 1: they hand it to him thirty five times. You don't know,

1948
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:28,920
Speaker 1: they probably won't, like we were saying, but this is

1949
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 1: a guy that does it all. He's like, he's like

1950
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey in Carolina. They'll give it to him anyway

1951
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: they can possibly get it to him, and he's up

1952
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:40,479
Speaker 1: to it. So we'll see. Yeah, we'll have to see

1953
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 1: how the week progresses for him. But expected, according to

1954
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,760
Speaker 1: Tom Pella Sero of NFL Network, to begin practicing this

1955
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,760
Speaker 1: week and to be activated off of IR, where he

1956
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:51,840
Speaker 1: has been since week four. So that could add a

1957
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:56,120
Speaker 1: different dynamic to the Chargers offense for sure this weekend

1958
01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 1: if he in fact plays, even if it is on

1959
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: a pitch count. I mean, you look at these hghlights.

1960
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:03,360
Speaker 1: They guy's going down the sidelines, he's going deep, they're catching,

1961
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 1: they're catching equip screens handing it to him. He's unbelievable

1962
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:09,240
Speaker 1: for a guy that used to just be a third

1963
01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 1: down back for them when Melvin Gordon was their bell cow.

1964
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:15,559
Speaker 1: I mean he has proven he can handle a featured role.

1965
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's just he is that dynamic. He's a

1966
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:21,559
Speaker 1: big play guy. Back to the tweet sheet, though, as

1967
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:23,720
Speaker 1: we mentioned, we're asking if the Bills are to go

1968
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 1: the distance, the offense must look like what and Randy

1969
01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 1: tells us run from spread. This old line has not

1970
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 1: shown the ability to run block consistently, so they have

1971
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 1: to scheme up ways to get production from the running backs.

1972
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 1: They have run out of spread looks this season. Um,

1973
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not prepared to tell you to what

1974
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 1: percentage and with what degree of success. But he thinks,

1975
01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:51,200
Speaker 1: hey spread him out and run that way, and that

1976
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:53,280
Speaker 1: way you've got fewer players in the box. I guess,

1977
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 1: I guess I understand that. I mean Jane Gailey did

1978
01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:58,560
Speaker 1: that with a good measure of success here running a

1979
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 1: lot of four wide sets and run CJ. Spiller out

1980
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 1: of it. CJ. Spiller average six yards and carry in

1981
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: twenty twelve running out of that kind of a set. Yeah,

1982
01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: and it works. It does have his place. But you know,

1983
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:11,639
Speaker 1: when if they think you're gonna do that, they'll they'll

1984
01:46:11,720 --> 01:46:13,800
Speaker 1: walk an extra guy down into the box, laid in

1985
01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 1: the snap count after you've you know, when when when

1986
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:18,400
Speaker 1: the play clock goes three two and they run the

1987
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 1: guy down in there. Now, the all of a sudden,

1988
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:21,800
Speaker 1: you've got eight guys in the box instead the seven

1989
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 1: or seven instead of six. And when you spread them out, say,

1990
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:29,040
Speaker 1: for instance, you go four wide, there's four guys lined

1991
01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:31,560
Speaker 1: up over every receiver, a guy for every receiver, and

1992
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:33,680
Speaker 1: if you've got a safety, there's five. That leaves you

1993
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:38,599
Speaker 1: six six with you know, two linebackers and the four

1994
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:42,599
Speaker 1: down lineman. That's where they're at. Now five offensive lineman,

1995
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, against six guys in the box. Yeah, but

1996
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:48,840
Speaker 1: that's where you run. If there's six guys in the

1997
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 1: box against your five offensive lineman with the quarterback and

1998
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:53,840
Speaker 1: the running back, that's when you're supposed to be able

1999
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 1: to run. I just don't know what the backs that

2000
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:59,680
Speaker 1: the Bills have if that's gonna work. CJ. Spiller was

2001
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:01,920
Speaker 1: quick because a hiccup. I mean, the guy ran four three.

2002
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:03,960
Speaker 1: It's different kind of back. He could get to the

2003
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 1: edge in a hurry and and out flank linebackers. A

2004
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 1: lot of the time you got Zach Moss and Devin

2005
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:14,320
Speaker 1: Singletary who run in the four fives and the four sixes.

2006
01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're getting there. It's interesting too,

2007
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 1: it's a different what do you run though? What's your

2008
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 1: running game look like? Upfront? Do they come off in

2009
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:25,160
Speaker 1: a zone scheme? Do you double up to the second level?

2010
01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:28,720
Speaker 1: And you can look back in history, and this is

2011
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 1: particularly interesting when you talk about Devin Singletary. His ability

2012
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 1: to make guys miss in short areas is his strength.

2013
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:37,920
Speaker 1: Do you run? Do you run the hard run, play

2014
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: to the right, have him cut back to the unblocked guy,

2015
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:44,360
Speaker 1: make him miss and everybody else got a hat on

2016
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:46,360
Speaker 1: and he's gone. If he can make the guy miss,

2017
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:48,920
Speaker 1: or does he fall forward three or four yard gain?

2018
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:51,479
Speaker 1: Hopefully if it's the right guy that you leave unblocked,

2019
01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the philosophy. The Lions did that

2020
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 1: with Barry Sanders. Don't block that guy, that's Barry's guy

2021
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and you know the guess yeah, because

2022
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:05,760
Speaker 1: the guy runs to the Hall of Fame because of that.

2023
01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:09,679
Speaker 1: So it works. You can run out of the spread,

2024
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:11,840
Speaker 1: and it does give the defense something extra to think

2025
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:13,600
Speaker 1: about because you don't always have to run it. And

2026
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:15,559
Speaker 1: if they and if you start play action and out

2027
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 1: of it, then it gives you an ele extra bump.

2028
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 1: You know, so we'll see it's a great idea by Randy,

2029
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 1: but it's not. You know, there's no magic elixer that's

2030
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:24,479
Speaker 1: kind of fixed the run game from Jack, he says,

2031
01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:27,000
Speaker 1: give me A and B. I want to be a

2032
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 1: modern NFL offense that throws to win, but still want

2033
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 1: to improve the run game with the running back. So

2034
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 1: when the weather is awful or teams play deep cover

2035
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:37,760
Speaker 1: two to take away big pass plays, we can hurt

2036
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:39,879
Speaker 1: them on the ground. That is the formula for success.

2037
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:43,240
Speaker 1: I am in Jack's boat, I really am. I think

2038
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 1: that's all I'm really looking for from the run game, Steve,

2039
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 1: just to have an answer that you can turn to

2040
01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 1: when they play everything. Oh, we're gonna play everything in

2041
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:58,160
Speaker 1: front of us. It's like, this is nothing cheap, nothing deep.

2042
01:48:58,200 --> 01:49:00,160
Speaker 1: This is where I'll just mimic what Murf would say. Hey,

2043
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 1: I want a pony too. You know, you want a

2044
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:05,400
Speaker 1: running game that can get it done in the foul weather,

2045
01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:06,759
Speaker 1: and you want to be able to throw the football.

2046
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 1: I just I just want a running game that you

2047
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 1: can turn. I want to score on every possession, and

2048
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 1: I want deep plays, and I want to run for

2049
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 1: two hundred yards a game. I'm not looking. I don't

2050
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:17,880
Speaker 1: have a lawn draft. That's I just want a running

2051
01:49:17,920 --> 01:49:20,240
Speaker 1: game good enough to pull somebody out a deep cover too,

2052
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:22,559
Speaker 1: And I want to trade a sixth round draft pick

2053
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:27,479
Speaker 1: for Jim Brown's do Why is what I'm asking for

2054
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:31,360
Speaker 1: so outlandish? Listen, You're not playing in a vacuum here,

2055
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:35,960
Speaker 1: I get it. Um, you know we everybody wants that.

2056
01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 1: You don't want fifty fifty run pass, split, throw fore,

2057
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 1: run for four hundred yards, run for two hundred yards,

2058
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 1: throw for three hundred and fifty and score seven touchdowns

2059
01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:49,600
Speaker 1: and you know three and three on the ground and

2060
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,160
Speaker 1: four in the air. Just get a let's get a

2061
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:54,320
Speaker 1: split like that, you know, I mean, that's what everybody wants.

2062
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 1: But you gotta go with what you know. It's not

2063
01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen. All. You gotta have one one of the

2064
01:50:00,479 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 1: one of the things is going to be better in

2065
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:06,400
Speaker 1: your offense. If you're that balanced, you know, then you know,

2066
01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:09,280
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do this? This team throws more

2067
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:10,880
Speaker 1: on first down than knee team in the league. You

2068
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: want to stop doing that because you're running game's working.

2069
01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, I don't know. Where do you

2070
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:19,120
Speaker 1: give where do you give snaps to to take away

2071
01:50:19,160 --> 01:50:21,920
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen, Stefon, Digs, Cole Beasley and John Brown,

2072
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:24,840
Speaker 1: particularly when they're all healthy. I mean, you're gonna take

2073
01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 1: snaps away from that and give up a you know,

2074
01:50:28,479 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 1: a third and thirteen conversion so you can hand it

2075
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 1: off and go third and four instead of third and

2076
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:37,720
Speaker 1: thirteen or something like that. I don't know. Yeah, we

2077
01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:40,280
Speaker 1: all want to balanced attack. We all want to. We

2078
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 1: all want to if we need to, we want to

2079
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:44,360
Speaker 1: run the ball for two hundred yards. I'm just trying

2080
01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:49,920
Speaker 1: to be realistic here. So I'm you're seven and three

2081
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 1: with a with a passing attack that is spitt and polish, man,

2082
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:58,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gold. Just don't try and fix It's gold, Jerry,

2083
01:50:58,760 --> 01:51:01,320
Speaker 1: it's goal. It's gold. Don't try and fix that stuff, man,

2084
01:51:01,520 --> 01:51:05,759
Speaker 1: Just go. We did want to pass along some comments

2085
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:10,600
Speaker 1: from the coaching staff, as coach McDermott, Brian Dable, and

2086
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier were all made available to the media yesterday,

2087
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:18,719
Speaker 1: as they typically are on Mondays, and the real issue

2088
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:22,040
Speaker 1: that came up with respect to coach McDermott's comments was

2089
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 1: something that Steve and I mentioned in the first hour

2090
01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 1: with Mitch Morse and the curious status of his place

2091
01:51:30,600 --> 01:51:36,000
Speaker 1: in this lineup as coach was a little vague as

2092
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:38,559
Speaker 1: to where things are headed. We all know Mitch Morse

2093
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:40,600
Speaker 1: got out of the concussion protocol leading up to the

2094
01:51:40,640 --> 01:51:43,640
Speaker 1: Arizona game but did not play. He was dressed, but

2095
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:47,040
Speaker 1: John Feliciano started at center, and then coming out of

2096
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:49,519
Speaker 1: that game when he was asked about it during the

2097
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:53,320
Speaker 1: bye week when asked if he would be the starting

2098
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:55,600
Speaker 1: center for the next game, he didn't commit to that.

2099
01:51:56,320 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 1: He was then asked yesterday if Mitch Morse had been benched,

2100
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 1: he said no. So here is coach McDermott kind of

2101
01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:09,720
Speaker 1: laying out what he felt comfortable explaining with respect to

2102
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:14,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line shuffling of late. We had some momentum

2103
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 1: coming off of the two games, the two wins we

2104
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 1: had there back to back when Mitch was out, and

2105
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't, you know, say anything in particular about Mitch's

2106
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 1: More So, we had some momentum going and some continuity

2107
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:29,720
Speaker 1: for a small windo of time, and so we just

2108
01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:31,519
Speaker 1: felt like that that was the right line of for

2109
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:34,439
Speaker 1: that week, and like I said, he's he's in the

2110
01:52:34,520 --> 01:52:37,080
Speaker 1: mix this week, as are some others and we'll see

2111
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:40,080
Speaker 1: how the week float. So we'll see how the week flow.

2112
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:42,519
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting too. You know, they had some

2113
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:46,679
Speaker 1: momentum and I think it might have been a nod

2114
01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: to something. And I don't know. I'm just saying it

2115
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:51,720
Speaker 1: might have been a nod towards something they saw in

2116
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:54,560
Speaker 1: Arizona the gate that they wanted Feliciano down inside, and

2117
01:52:54,600 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 1: they wanted who was it but and Winters at the

2118
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 1: right guard. It might have been a game planned thing

2119
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:05,719
Speaker 1: where they said, you know what, Mitch, we were okay,

2120
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 1: we feel like we're okay if Mitch is an emergency, fine.

2121
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 1: I like the matchup we have down inside with these

2122
01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:13,599
Speaker 1: two guys. We can run some certain plays with these

2123
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:16,640
Speaker 1: three guys, then we can with Mitch or whatever. So

2124
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 1: there is some of that possible inside there. But I'm

2125
01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 1: still leaning towards I think it's a little bit of gamesmanship.

2126
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:25,000
Speaker 1: I think Mitch Morse will be in there taking snaps

2127
01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 1: this week. I don't know. I will say this. I

2128
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 1: don't recall too many plays in the Arizona game where

2129
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 1: you had pulling lineman going out wide to get in

2130
01:53:34,600 --> 01:53:39,560
Speaker 1: front of running backs, because that's not John Feliciano's forte necessarily,

2131
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:42,640
Speaker 1: but it is Mitch Morse's when he is in the

2132
01:53:42,760 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 1: game and he gets out and pull, he can run

2133
01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 1: good at that. Yeah, he can run. He is really

2134
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 1: good at that, especially for a big man at sixty's

2135
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:51,360
Speaker 1: six five. I mean, he's a tall center, but he

2136
01:53:51,439 --> 01:53:53,519
Speaker 1: can get out in front of those running backs. A

2137
01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:55,880
Speaker 1: lot of the successful runs this team had last year,

2138
01:53:56,960 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 1: he's usually out in front pulling on those plays. They

2139
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:02,720
Speaker 1: would use him and Dawkins a good deal on a

2140
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:06,200
Speaker 1: lot of those pulling plays. Um, they like using those

2141
01:54:06,240 --> 01:54:10,960
Speaker 1: pin and pull concepts. So I don't know. Maybe they

2142
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:13,599
Speaker 1: thought they could just rode grade the Cardinals last week

2143
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 1: and just go straight ahead, but they didn't have much

2144
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:21,320
Speaker 1: success doing that, and that was with three defensive tackles

2145
01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:24,720
Speaker 1: in Arizona's top five out of the game. Right. Two

2146
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:27,400
Speaker 1: guys didn't dress and the other guy got hurt and

2147
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:29,240
Speaker 1: was lost for the year. And that maybe that's the

2148
01:54:29,479 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why they with Feliciano at center. Maybe they

2149
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:34,560
Speaker 1: thought they'd just rode grade a little bit instead of

2150
01:54:34,600 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 1: getting out in front with other defensive and they didn't

2151
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 1: have much success doing that. They didn't they didn't they

2152
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 1: didn't run the ball. Yeah, I'm with you. I'd be

2153
01:54:42,080 --> 01:54:44,480
Speaker 1: surprised if Morris is not starting at center this week.

2154
01:54:44,560 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 1: I really would. I'd be I'd be, genuinely. I don't

2155
01:54:47,240 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 1: know if i'd be generous because I don't know what

2156
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. And I'm but I'm guessing. I I

2157
01:54:53,280 --> 01:54:55,360
Speaker 1: think Mitch is a good player. I don't. I don't.

2158
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:57,640
Speaker 1: In fact, he's probably I probably have got him off

2159
01:54:57,680 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: my radar. Maybe should go back and watch a little

2160
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 1: film and and say, Okay, is he good? Is he

2161
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 1: stinking it up? Or is he good? What are they doing?

2162
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:05,880
Speaker 1: We probably should both go because and maybe I will

2163
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:07,960
Speaker 1: because it's just it's off my radar, right, I mean,

2164
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:09,960
Speaker 1: I figured when he's healthy, you'll be back in there,

2165
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:12,640
Speaker 1: and now this happens, It's like, uh, I don't know.

2166
01:55:13,440 --> 01:55:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just willing to sit here and wait. I

2167
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:20,680
Speaker 1: do think this, and I've said this too, Brownie. I

2168
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:22,960
Speaker 1: don't think this coad with what happened with Trent Murphy

2169
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:27,280
Speaker 1: during the year, and with Harrison Phillips being up and

2170
01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 1: down and in and out of the lineup inactive and active.

2171
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't think this coaching staff, they don't blink, gives

2172
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:37,360
Speaker 1: a rip about what you're making. If you ain't the

2173
01:55:37,480 --> 01:55:39,360
Speaker 1: right guy, you ain't getting on the field. That goes

2174
01:55:39,440 --> 01:55:44,240
Speaker 1: for everybody. They signed Quentin Spain to a pretty good contract.

2175
01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 1: I need a five or seven million dollars year contract.

2176
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:48,960
Speaker 1: I think it was a three year extension for fifteen million.

2177
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:50,880
Speaker 1: There you go. So and they just signed it and

2178
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:54,360
Speaker 1: they were like, thanks for stopping by. Yeah, you know.

2179
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:56,120
Speaker 1: And that was a guy who played very well for

2180
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:59,040
Speaker 1: them twelve months ago. And those guys that signed those

2181
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:03,760
Speaker 1: long term deals genuinely feel safe that first year. Maybe

2182
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 1: not so much because of how they're playing, but because

2183
01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:09,560
Speaker 1: of the cap hit implications that their contract would mean

2184
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:11,440
Speaker 1: if they cut them. So they feel like, all right,

2185
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: I got some security here this year. You're taking deep.

2186
01:56:13,560 --> 01:56:16,000
Speaker 1: It's cost prohibitive to get rid of me, right. They

2187
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:19,840
Speaker 1: still didn't care care. So there's a little bit of

2188
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:23,080
Speaker 1: that in there, and I love that as a coaching staff,

2189
01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:25,040
Speaker 1: as a fan looking at this team saying, listen, if

2190
01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 1: you're not getting done this coaching staff is, you're not

2191
01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna play. That's on a week to week basis, Brownie.

2192
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:33,880
Speaker 1: That's not like, Okay, next year we're gonna make a move. No,

2193
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:37,680
Speaker 1: it's like we're making a move Wednesday. That I think

2194
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 1: that is really beneficial for getting the most out of

2195
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:45,280
Speaker 1: your roster each and every week. These guys really know

2196
01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:48,240
Speaker 1: that it is expected of them to show up in

2197
01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:50,520
Speaker 1: a big way on game day, and if they don't,

2198
01:56:50,920 --> 01:56:52,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna get called on. They're gonna get called on it.

2199
01:56:53,640 --> 01:56:58,680
Speaker 1: And I think it's effective, very effective. And Trent Murphy

2200
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 1: has done it. And you know all these uh Crewmero

2201
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 1: is up now has been playing with Taiwan Jones being heard.

2202
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 1: They got guys and they don't hesit and they and listen,

2203
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 1: it's not like they brought Duke Williams up just because

2204
01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 1: he's the guy. He's gonna been here, been here, and

2205
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 1: all that is now, Crumero, you're playing get a better,

2206
01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 1: better guy, let's go. That to me is really really

2207
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: effective in the locker room. In the locker room, I

2208
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 1: think that is an incredibly effective way to do business.

2209
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:34,160
Speaker 1: I think the players respect that the best guys play

2210
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 1: no matter who it is. And I you may not

2211
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 1: like it, but and I can't. Usually that's the case,

2212
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:43,840
Speaker 1: but usually they make the back in the day twenty

2213
01:57:43,880 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 1: five thirty years ago. They make that decision at the

2214
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:47,120
Speaker 1: beginning of year, and that's how it stays. They're not

2215
01:57:47,120 --> 01:57:49,240
Speaker 1: gonna mess with it. But man, oh man, it is

2216
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:51,960
Speaker 1: a day to day, week to week thing here, and

2217
01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:56,120
Speaker 1: you've got to you've got to adhere to the process

2218
01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:58,920
Speaker 1: and get your nose on the grindstone or you're gonna

2219
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:03,200
Speaker 1: you're playing. Time's gonna su Leslie Frasier, defensive coordinator during

2220
01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:07,160
Speaker 1: the bye week, along with coach McDermott, talked about run

2221
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:11,040
Speaker 1: defense being a area an area of emphasis for them

2222
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:13,880
Speaker 1: to take a deep dive on in the bye week.

2223
01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:17,760
Speaker 1: So coach Frasier was asked about that coming out of

2224
01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:19,800
Speaker 1: the bye week and whether or not he felt they

2225
01:58:19,880 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 1: came up with any good solutions going forward. What we

2226
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:27,280
Speaker 1: try to do vicers go back and look at some

2227
01:58:27,360 --> 01:58:30,080
Speaker 1: of the runs that have hurt us and what we're

2228
01:58:30,120 --> 01:58:33,240
Speaker 1: doing versus those runs, and how we can improve some

2229
01:58:33,320 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 1: of our techniques, some of our fundamentals against some of

2230
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 1: those runs that show up repeatedly. And I think our

2231
01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:41,560
Speaker 1: guys did a good job today when we were going

2232
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:44,000
Speaker 1: through practice. As we went through some of those runs

2233
01:58:44,120 --> 01:58:47,600
Speaker 1: that we evaluated during the bye week that really hurt us,

2234
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:51,080
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll be better against those runs going forward,

2235
01:58:51,080 --> 01:58:53,680
Speaker 1: and we'll hit him again throughout the week because, as

2236
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's a copycat league. You know, people see

2237
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 1: something that hurt today, they put it in their offense.

2238
01:58:58,240 --> 01:59:00,720
Speaker 1: So we'll hit some of those things again this week.

2239
01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:05,600
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where they are. And they've talked

2240
01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:09,640
Speaker 1: about trying to course corrected before, whether it's gap integrity,

2241
01:59:09,720 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 1: whether it's fundamentals. I mean, you can tell that the

2242
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:16,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff has tried fifty ways to Sunday to get

2243
01:59:16,800 --> 01:59:20,720
Speaker 1: it corrected. It's on the players now to execute it.

2244
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:23,120
Speaker 1: We've been talking about the Bills run defense. You can

2245
01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:25,520
Speaker 1: bet as well that they're doing on the offensive side

2246
01:59:25,520 --> 01:59:27,680
Speaker 1: of the ball when it comes to pressure pickups. You

2247
01:59:27,760 --> 01:59:31,160
Speaker 1: know when blitz packages, when teams are sending pressure, when

2248
01:59:31,640 --> 01:59:36,360
Speaker 1: teams like Miami and New England are doing that muddle

2249
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:39,200
Speaker 1: defensive front when his third and long yard is they

2250
01:59:39,240 --> 01:59:41,120
Speaker 1: don't tell you who's coming. They got like six guys

2251
01:59:41,200 --> 01:59:43,160
Speaker 1: walking and shuffling the deck up front, and then when

2252
01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:45,400
Speaker 1: you snap with the guys coming, the guys drop out.

2253
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:47,440
Speaker 1: They don't get guys with their hands on the ground,

2254
01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:51,320
Speaker 1: things like that. They're doing that on both sides of

2255
01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:54,160
Speaker 1: the ball. And you can bet with what they're seeing

2256
01:59:54,360 --> 01:59:56,400
Speaker 1: with teams and how they're defending Josh and all the

2257
01:59:56,520 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 1: receivers the Bills have, they're seeing a lot of the

2258
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,560
Speaker 1: same maybe not the exact same blitzes, but the same philosophy.

2259
02:00:02,880 --> 02:00:05,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna send an extra guy, or we're gonna send

2260
02:00:05,040 --> 02:00:07,440
Speaker 1: two extra guys, and the ball's gonna have to come

2261
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:09,240
Speaker 1: out of Josh's hand and we're gonna jump her out

2262
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:10,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do it. We're gonna beat you that way.

2263
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:13,080
Speaker 1: So they're gonna, you know, they're gonna start doing repping

2264
02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:15,880
Speaker 1: that in practice. They're gonna start and saying, okay, now

2265
02:00:15,920 --> 02:00:18,320
Speaker 1: we're on this place. Six guys are coming on this place.

2266
02:00:18,320 --> 02:00:20,480
Speaker 1: Seven guys are coming on this one. Only five guys

2267
02:00:20,520 --> 02:00:22,680
Speaker 1: are coming. That kind of thing that they'll do that

2268
02:00:22,760 --> 02:00:26,480
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, and there's only you

2269
02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:28,640
Speaker 1: gotta work on it, and we'll have to wait and

2270
02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:30,839
Speaker 1: see on Sunday if they if they've made some improvement.

2271
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Break time for us now. But when we come back,

2272
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:37,160
Speaker 1: we'll get Coach Frazier's thoughts on Justin Herbert and the

2273
02:00:37,320 --> 02:00:41,400
Speaker 1: challenge he will present to Buffalo's defense on Sunday. That

2274
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:43,960
Speaker 1: along with your comments on the tweet sheet, and if

2275
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 1: we have time, a little NFL True falls all of it.

2276
02:00:46,320 --> 02:00:48,760
Speaker 1: Next here on One Bills Live, presented by Collid to Health,

2277
02:00:48,800 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, final half

2278
02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:01,120
Speaker 1: hour the show here Tuesday, addition to One Bills Line,

2279
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:04,120
Speaker 1: as we're broadcasting from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park.

2280
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Practice over for today. Bills will be back out on

2281
02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:11,880
Speaker 1: the practice field tomorrow before getting off for Thanksgiving. Got

2282
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:15,640
Speaker 1: your mask on here, that's okay, Steve. I didn't myself

2283
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:20,320
Speaker 1: on camera. I was like, hey, what idiot? Eight O

2284
02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:24,320
Speaker 1: three five fifty line open for you there, as we

2285
02:01:24,640 --> 02:01:29,760
Speaker 1: are asking you with respect to the Bills offense today.

2286
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:32,800
Speaker 1: If the Bills are going to go the distance, the

2287
02:01:32,960 --> 02:01:35,520
Speaker 1: offense must look like what a ride or die with

2288
02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:37,840
Speaker 1: Josh and the passing game be the weather is turning,

2289
02:01:38,200 --> 02:01:40,120
Speaker 1: we need some balance with the run game or see.

2290
02:01:40,120 --> 02:01:42,680
Speaker 1: If they're healthy, it ain't gonna matter. There's no stopping them.

2291
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:45,600
Speaker 1: So open line for you at eight five fifty and

2292
02:01:45,640 --> 02:01:47,320
Speaker 1: we will get to the callers in just a second,

2293
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:51,480
Speaker 1: one more bit of commentary we wanted to pass along

2294
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:57,080
Speaker 1: to you. Coach Frasier was naturally asked about the exploits

2295
02:01:57,200 --> 02:02:00,680
Speaker 1: of rookie quarterback Justin Herbert for the Charger and the

2296
02:02:00,840 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 1: challenges that he will present to his defense on Sunday.

2297
02:02:04,880 --> 02:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Here is what Coach Fraser had to offer on the

2298
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:12,440
Speaker 1: rookie QB. I've been very, very impressed with what I've seen.

2299
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Does not play like a rookie, and he's basically leading

2300
02:02:16,960 --> 02:02:20,400
Speaker 1: that offense. He's really the reason they're having so much

2301
02:02:20,440 --> 02:02:25,080
Speaker 1: success as an offense, and that's unusual this early in

2302
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:27,880
Speaker 1: a rookie's career to really be the guy that showed

2303
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:31,080
Speaker 1: us the brunt of the success or failure of the offense.

2304
02:02:31,160 --> 02:02:36,400
Speaker 1: So his release, his accuracy, his mobility, he's a smart player.

2305
02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:39,080
Speaker 1: He just has a lot of good qualities and has

2306
02:02:39,080 --> 02:02:41,440
Speaker 1: a very good size as well, so a lot of

2307
02:02:41,520 --> 02:02:44,440
Speaker 1: positives and we got to find a way to affect

2308
02:02:44,480 --> 02:02:48,120
Speaker 1: him on Sunday. He had some throws last week against

2309
02:02:48,120 --> 02:02:52,000
Speaker 1: the Jets, and granted there were guys running free for

2310
02:02:52,080 --> 02:02:54,240
Speaker 1: a good portion of that day in the Jets secondary,

2311
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:58,000
Speaker 1: but he put a fifty four yard pass on a

2312
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:02,960
Speaker 1: rope in that game, like limited arc on the throw

2313
02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:06,520
Speaker 1: and it got there in a hurry. I mean, this

2314
02:03:06,760 --> 02:03:11,480
Speaker 1: kid's got arm strength. Yeah, he's that's pretty comparable to Joshus. Yeah,

2315
02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:13,640
Speaker 1: he's a good player. He's a really good player. He's

2316
02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna be around a while. And I think he's really

2317
02:03:16,200 --> 02:03:19,560
Speaker 1: emerged as a good player. And and and he's gonna

2318
02:03:19,560 --> 02:03:22,920
Speaker 1: be a handful. Now to the point this laste. If

2319
02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:24,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna go back and look at the Jet game,

2320
02:03:24,520 --> 02:03:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm the Jets head. You know, at the beginning of

2321
02:03:28,120 --> 02:03:29,880
Speaker 1: the game, they went up into the stands and pulled

2322
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:33,440
Speaker 1: two cardboard cutouts and they started him a corner um.

2323
02:03:34,120 --> 02:03:39,000
Speaker 1: But still the guy made some throws. And you know

2324
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:43,280
Speaker 1: he's good. This this Charger team is good, and they

2325
02:03:43,400 --> 02:03:47,080
Speaker 1: run the ball well. And with Eckler back in the lineup,

2326
02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:50,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna be an even bigger problem. So you've got

2327
02:03:50,280 --> 02:03:53,240
Speaker 1: to know that you're gonna have to make some plays

2328
02:03:53,280 --> 02:03:55,360
Speaker 1: against them defensively. I don't mean you have to stifle

2329
02:03:55,480 --> 02:03:57,080
Speaker 1: him or keep him from runt of the football, but

2330
02:03:57,120 --> 02:03:59,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna be times in the game on crucial downs

2331
02:03:59,160 --> 02:04:01,200
Speaker 1: where the Bill's defense is gonna have step up, and

2332
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:04,280
Speaker 1: that's going to be the difference in the game. The

2333
02:04:04,440 --> 02:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Bills are going to have to come out and open

2334
02:04:06,960 --> 02:04:09,720
Speaker 1: it up and throw the football and score points to

2335
02:04:09,760 --> 02:04:11,920
Speaker 1: win this game, because this is a Charger team that

2336
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:16,360
Speaker 1: can do that. I was impressed with him. Now I

2337
02:04:16,440 --> 02:04:18,320
Speaker 1: know this, and I know we always here in the

2338
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:20,120
Speaker 1: AFC East, you always say, well it was the Jets,

2339
02:04:21,200 --> 02:04:23,920
Speaker 1: but go look at his game against New Orleans. Yeah,

2340
02:04:24,720 --> 02:04:26,360
Speaker 1: he can light it up. It's one of the best

2341
02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:30,000
Speaker 1: defenses in football this year. He lost in overtime thirty

2342
02:04:30,040 --> 02:04:32,280
Speaker 1: to twenty seven. Right, So, and he lost to the

2343
02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:35,920
Speaker 1: world defending world champions in overtime on a fifty eight

2344
02:04:36,040 --> 02:04:41,360
Speaker 1: yard or he's good. The Chargers are good. They're two

2345
02:04:41,440 --> 02:04:45,240
Speaker 1: and seven or whatever, they are, three and seven, They're

2346
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:49,240
Speaker 1: they're good. And this is no walk in the park.

2347
02:04:49,400 --> 02:04:51,600
Speaker 1: This is no team that's gonna give up. And this

2348
02:04:51,760 --> 02:04:53,720
Speaker 1: is no team that's gonna like if you get up

2349
02:04:53,720 --> 02:04:55,400
Speaker 1: on them two scores in the first half, they're gonna

2350
02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:57,840
Speaker 1: fold up their tents and go away. They're better than that. So,

2351
02:04:58,200 --> 02:05:00,120
Speaker 1: and they can score points in a hurry too. They

2352
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:02,520
Speaker 1: can fill it up. Yeah, So this is gonna be here.

2353
02:05:02,600 --> 02:05:04,839
Speaker 1: This is a game that if for the two records,

2354
02:05:06,320 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: may be as good a game as you see around

2355
02:05:08,200 --> 02:05:10,320
Speaker 1: the league this weekend. It's it's gonna be a really

2356
02:05:10,440 --> 02:05:13,160
Speaker 1: really fun matchup I think for fans to watch. Let's

2357
02:05:13,200 --> 02:05:15,200
Speaker 1: go to the phones at eight oh three, oh five

2358
02:05:15,360 --> 02:05:18,720
Speaker 1: fifty one fifty two five fifty and we go to

2359
02:05:18,840 --> 02:05:21,280
Speaker 1: Andy in New Jersey. Andy, what do you have for us?

2360
02:05:21,280 --> 02:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to One Bills Live. How you doing, guys? First,

2361
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:28,680
Speaker 1: good congratulations Steve On. You're being uh, you know, nominated

2362
02:05:28,720 --> 02:05:31,400
Speaker 1: as a semi finalist for the Hall of Fame. If

2363
02:05:31,480 --> 02:05:34,080
Speaker 1: anybody deserves to be in as a special teams player,

2364
02:05:34,200 --> 02:05:39,360
Speaker 1: especially you do. Thanks Andy, No problem, um. I think

2365
02:05:39,440 --> 02:05:42,360
Speaker 1: that the Bills are gonna have to find some kind

2366
02:05:42,440 --> 02:05:44,920
Speaker 1: of a running game a little a little bit more

2367
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:49,360
Speaker 1: consistently as the season, you know, winds down here and

2368
02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:52,640
Speaker 1: I kind of go back. I remember the AFC Championship

2369
02:05:52,640 --> 02:05:56,320
Speaker 1: against Miami. You guys ran a player I believe they

2370
02:05:56,360 --> 02:06:00,280
Speaker 1: called it the Sucker stutter where Thurman Thomas was catching

2371
02:06:00,320 --> 02:06:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot of balls out of the backfield, and I

2372
02:06:02,320 --> 02:06:05,520
Speaker 1: think that took advantage of a very overaggressive defense. And

2373
02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:08,600
Speaker 1: I think that the Bills may need to imploy you

2374
02:06:08,680 --> 02:06:11,400
Speaker 1: know to apply you know, things like that with the

2375
02:06:11,480 --> 02:06:14,400
Speaker 1: running backs, you know, when they need to. But my

2376
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:17,280
Speaker 1: dad said, you know, he had this phrase and said,

2377
02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta dance with who brung you. So

2378
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think the Bills may have to. You know,

2379
02:06:22,800 --> 02:06:25,320
Speaker 1: they may also have to just throw the ball a lot,

2380
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:27,839
Speaker 1: if that's you know, but that's what they're good at anyway.

2381
02:06:27,960 --> 02:06:32,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, they'll they'll if they have to, they will

2382
02:06:32,200 --> 02:06:34,160
Speaker 1: get creative with their run game. I think one of

2383
02:06:34,200 --> 02:06:36,240
Speaker 1: the things that I've noticed about the Bills run game

2384
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:39,240
Speaker 1: is it's it's you're right, I use the word consistent,

2385
02:06:39,360 --> 02:06:41,320
Speaker 1: and I like that word. I wish they were more

2386
02:06:41,360 --> 02:06:43,720
Speaker 1: consistent because right now you kind of get this thing

2387
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:46,800
Speaker 1: where Zach Moss for minus one yard, Zach Moss for

2388
02:06:46,920 --> 02:06:50,080
Speaker 1: two yards, Devin Singletary for a three yard game, Devin

2389
02:06:50,160 --> 02:06:52,840
Speaker 1: Singletary for a one yard loss, and then it's Zach

2390
02:06:52,920 --> 02:06:56,200
Speaker 1: Moss for eight, and then it's Devin Singletary for twelve,

2391
02:06:56,280 --> 02:06:58,120
Speaker 1: and then it's of course it's a one yard gain,

2392
02:06:58,200 --> 02:07:00,920
Speaker 1: a one yard loss, a two yard gain, a yard game,

2393
02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:03,520
Speaker 1: and then everyone so often you'll get an eight yard

2394
02:07:03,560 --> 02:07:07,000
Speaker 1: gain or a nice run. They need to get more consistent.

2395
02:07:07,040 --> 02:07:10,160
Speaker 1: You'd like to see them average four and a half

2396
02:07:10,200 --> 02:07:12,800
Speaker 1: five yards a carry, and if they can do that,

2397
02:07:13,040 --> 02:07:16,000
Speaker 1: then you don't mind handing it off more often. But

2398
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:19,760
Speaker 1: consistency has been the one thing that has been absolutely

2399
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:22,880
Speaker 1: absent from their running game this year, and so I'm

2400
02:07:22,960 --> 02:07:24,400
Speaker 1: with you, I'd like to see them just be more

2401
02:07:24,440 --> 02:07:26,920
Speaker 1: consistent with it. There is a little bit of that

2402
02:07:27,080 --> 02:07:29,360
Speaker 1: chicken and egg theory with that too, because you always

2403
02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:32,280
Speaker 1: hear that common argument that, well, how do you expect

2404
02:07:32,320 --> 02:07:34,320
Speaker 1: the running game to be consistent if you can't even

2405
02:07:34,360 --> 02:07:37,080
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to get into a rhythm, you know,

2406
02:07:37,160 --> 02:07:39,840
Speaker 1: And you hear that, and it's like, okay, well all right,

2407
02:07:39,920 --> 02:07:41,800
Speaker 1: so what do you want. You want more carries? Well,

2408
02:07:41,800 --> 02:07:44,520
Speaker 1: you got to prove you deserve them. But then it's like, well,

2409
02:07:44,520 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 1: you're not giving us enough of a chance to prove

2410
02:07:46,280 --> 02:07:48,360
Speaker 1: we deserve him because we're barely touching the football. So

2411
02:07:48,400 --> 02:07:52,800
Speaker 1: there's a little something to that. But listen, when it works,

2412
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:54,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna give you the ball. It worked against the

2413
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:56,840
Speaker 1: New England Patriots and they ran the thing for two

2414
02:07:56,960 --> 02:08:02,400
Speaker 1: hundred yards. It's you know, so it's out there for

2415
02:08:02,520 --> 02:08:04,280
Speaker 1: this team to go out and have some success and

2416
02:08:04,840 --> 02:08:08,800
Speaker 1: stick with it. But yeah, they got to play better.

2417
02:08:08,880 --> 02:08:10,520
Speaker 1: They gotta play better up front. They got to play

2418
02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:12,920
Speaker 1: better with the ball in their hands in the running game,

2419
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:15,040
Speaker 1: or it's not gonna happen. Because I'll tell you what.

2420
02:08:16,520 --> 02:08:18,320
Speaker 1: If you come out and throw it three times, you

2421
02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:20,880
Speaker 1: get you go three for three for for forty five

2422
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:23,400
Speaker 1: yards and you're moving down the field. You ain't turn

2423
02:08:23,480 --> 02:08:26,200
Speaker 1: around handed and off for no reason. You're just gonna

2424
02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:31,960
Speaker 1: drop back again. Let's go right. So, yeah, you know,

2425
02:08:32,240 --> 02:08:33,840
Speaker 1: if they can do one and they can do the other,

2426
02:08:33,960 --> 02:08:36,440
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean you would think, let's go to

2427
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:39,320
Speaker 1: h Ron in Buffalo Ron. You're on one bills live.

2428
02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:41,920
Speaker 1: What do you have for us, sir? Yeah, I was.

2429
02:08:42,680 --> 02:08:47,920
Speaker 1: I was wondering, Um, I know, with a throwing and everything.

2430
02:08:48,520 --> 02:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that Josh Ellen ever goes to Leslie

2431
02:08:52,400 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Frazier on how to read decenses better? And I do

2432
02:08:57,480 --> 02:08:59,480
Speaker 1: think we need to run the ball a little bit

2433
02:08:59,600 --> 02:09:03,440
Speaker 1: more more too. And that's all I have to say.

2434
02:09:03,560 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 1: And uh, have a good holiday guys, you two around.

2435
02:09:07,280 --> 02:09:09,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Um he thinks they need to

2436
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:15,160
Speaker 1: run more And then about who can reading defenses? Yeah,

2437
02:09:15,240 --> 02:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that happens in training camp.

2438
02:09:17,360 --> 02:09:21,080
Speaker 1: I've seen times where Josh will go to a linebacker

2439
02:09:22,080 --> 02:09:24,960
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know, why are you doing this

2440
02:09:25,120 --> 02:09:27,000
Speaker 1: on that play? Because I was going to throw it

2441
02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:30,160
Speaker 1: in this area? And what was that call? And that's

2442
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:32,280
Speaker 1: where you get the intel. I think you probably it

2443
02:09:32,640 --> 02:09:34,560
Speaker 1: might still happen in a regular season. Pract you're a

2444
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:37,360
Speaker 1: really good film watcher. That stuff becomes self evident when

2445
02:09:37,360 --> 02:09:40,120
Speaker 1: you watched the film. Yeah, it becomes you know, and

2446
02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:42,040
Speaker 1: you wonder, wow, I don't know what that call was,

2447
02:09:42,120 --> 02:09:44,080
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, I see it. You know. You'll

2448
02:09:44,160 --> 02:09:46,880
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll ask like, hey, were you freelancing on that play?

2449
02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:50,280
Speaker 1: Or were you really executing the play call there? That's right.

2450
02:09:50,400 --> 02:09:54,280
Speaker 1: You get a safety's out there, particularly Jordan Poor Micah Hyde.

2451
02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:58,200
Speaker 1: Were they they don't see the threat to their area.

2452
02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:00,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna like say, I don't think gonna threaten me.

2453
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to do something else. I think you're going

2454
02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:05,400
Speaker 1: over here, and they'll leave, and then the quarterbacks going,

2455
02:10:05,880 --> 02:10:07,880
Speaker 1: what was the safety doing that? Yeah? And the safety

2456
02:10:07,880 --> 02:10:09,640
Speaker 1: it did on film last week? Right, I mean, well,

2457
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:11,120
Speaker 1: how'd you get over there? And he says, well, I

2458
02:10:11,160 --> 02:10:13,360
Speaker 1: knew you weren't gonna go here, and so it's like, oh,

2459
02:10:13,840 --> 02:10:15,800
Speaker 1: and it's just a great player. Megan ed Reid was

2460
02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:18,760
Speaker 1: a notorious for that Tory polamaloo, all the great safety

2461
02:10:19,520 --> 02:10:23,040
Speaker 1: last interception, Rodney Harrison, Tredevious White and and most of

2462
02:10:23,120 --> 02:10:25,760
Speaker 1: the time defenses have those rules where you see a

2463
02:10:25,840 --> 02:10:28,920
Speaker 1: corner do it where if there's nobody threatening your area,

2464
02:10:29,640 --> 02:10:32,240
Speaker 1: and you get later into the play clock, later in

2465
02:10:32,320 --> 02:10:34,840
Speaker 1: the down and you think it's things are developing and

2466
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:37,320
Speaker 1: there's still nobody there. It's like, Okay, I'm I'm gonna

2467
02:10:37,320 --> 02:10:39,880
Speaker 1: go help somebody. I'm going yeah, And that's what happens

2468
02:10:39,920 --> 02:10:42,200
Speaker 1: on That's what happened on Tradevious White's interception. It's what

2469
02:10:42,240 --> 02:10:44,760
Speaker 1: happened with safeties, and that's what happened on Poyer's interception,

2470
02:10:44,880 --> 02:10:48,480
Speaker 1: lating it down in the end zone against whoever. It

2471
02:10:48,520 --> 02:10:52,160
Speaker 1: was an intercept that it was Arizona. No, no, no,

2472
02:10:53,080 --> 02:10:56,880
Speaker 1: here in the stadium oh here, um, yes it was No,

2473
02:10:57,080 --> 02:10:59,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't New England, it was it was Seattle. That

2474
02:10:59,240 --> 02:11:01,640
Speaker 1: was that's right, Wilson, and we dropped back. It was

2475
02:11:01,680 --> 02:11:04,560
Speaker 1: the same interception he made when Tom Brady last year.

2476
02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:06,360
Speaker 1: And that's the same same kind of same kind of

2477
02:11:06,400 --> 02:11:08,760
Speaker 1: interception all right, we have to take a break. When

2478
02:11:08,800 --> 02:11:12,040
Speaker 1: we return. What have we learned A lot of lessons today?

2479
02:11:12,240 --> 02:11:14,640
Speaker 1: I think I feel like we got smarter. We'll find

2480
02:11:14,680 --> 02:11:17,040
Speaker 1: out in the next segment. It's One Bills Live presented

2481
02:11:17,080 --> 02:11:25,360
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. It's the

2482
02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:30,840
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. Well,

2483
02:11:30,880 --> 02:11:33,800
Speaker 1: probably the most important thing we learned was one Steve

2484
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Tasker is on the Pro Football Hall of Fame semi

2485
02:11:36,280 --> 02:11:39,520
Speaker 1: finalist list or I believe what is the sixth time

2486
02:11:39,720 --> 02:11:42,960
Speaker 1: in in the naming of that list, which is pretty cool.

2487
02:11:43,040 --> 02:11:45,880
Speaker 1: Cornelius Spennett also on that list, so congrats to him

2488
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:49,760
Speaker 1: as well. Come on, biscuit, let's get in. Yeah, it

2489
02:11:49,960 --> 02:11:52,560
Speaker 1: is a stacked group, though, I will say that Peyton

2490
02:11:52,600 --> 02:11:56,760
Speaker 1: mannings in this crew. Yeah. The receiver position alone, My god,

2491
02:11:56,920 --> 02:12:01,560
Speaker 1: heinz Ward, Tory Holt and Calvin Johnson. Are you kidding me? Yeah?

2492
02:12:01,640 --> 02:12:04,160
Speaker 1: You think two out of the log jam continues at

2493
02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:08,640
Speaker 1: that position. Rodney Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Charles Woodson, Uh yeah,

2494
02:12:08,840 --> 02:12:11,920
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson, all those guys, there's some there's some tremendous

2495
02:12:12,080 --> 02:12:16,880
Speaker 1: players in that That's it's gonna be fun. Whittling that

2496
02:12:16,960 --> 02:12:19,040
Speaker 1: down to fifteen two. It's interesting because I, you know,

2497
02:12:19,080 --> 02:12:20,880
Speaker 1: I played against these guys, but a lot a lot

2498
02:12:20,920 --> 02:12:23,160
Speaker 1: of them. There's some godly man, there's some good guys

2499
02:12:23,200 --> 02:12:27,120
Speaker 1: on that list. Good for them, Yeah, good for them. Uh.

2500
02:12:27,480 --> 02:12:30,520
Speaker 1: I think we're also learning, as Steve was discussing before

2501
02:12:30,520 --> 02:12:34,560
Speaker 1: we came back from break, that this Charger team has

2502
02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:38,480
Speaker 1: some striking similarities to this Bills team in terms of

2503
02:12:38,560 --> 02:12:42,120
Speaker 1: what's worked successfully for them this year, where they've accumulated

2504
02:12:42,200 --> 02:12:47,400
Speaker 1: statistics that are respectable. Um, there are some striking similarities.

2505
02:12:47,520 --> 02:12:50,560
Speaker 1: If you if the Chargers came in here with with

2506
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:52,880
Speaker 1: a flip flopped record, if they were seven and three

2507
02:12:52,960 --> 02:12:54,560
Speaker 1: like the Bills are, instead of three and seven, you

2508
02:12:54,600 --> 02:12:57,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't bet, and I would you those two teams, You

2509
02:12:57,160 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 1: would say, what's their blueprint? Because they're seven and three

2510
02:12:59,480 --> 02:13:02,400
Speaker 1: and that's how you do it. The Chargers have virtually

2511
02:13:02,520 --> 02:13:08,240
Speaker 1: identical statistics to the Buffalo Bills in gross yards, interceptions, yardage,

2512
02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:12,440
Speaker 1: sacks given up, drives per game, yards per play, everything

2513
02:13:12,760 --> 02:13:15,160
Speaker 1: is really really close. And then the one thing the

2514
02:13:15,440 --> 02:13:17,680
Speaker 1: Chargers have over the Bills is their running game has

2515
02:13:17,760 --> 02:13:19,600
Speaker 1: carried them a lot more than the Bills have. They've

2516
02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:23,240
Speaker 1: rushed it almost sixty or seventy times more than the

2517
02:13:23,280 --> 02:13:27,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills have for the season. Tomorrow's show is going

2518
02:13:27,400 --> 02:13:31,920
Speaker 1: to be Chargers full. We will have GM of the Chargers,

2519
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:36,800
Speaker 1: Tom Talsco, as well as Daniel Jeremiah from NFL Network

2520
02:13:36,920 --> 02:13:40,480
Speaker 1: who is the color analyst on the Chargers Radio network.

2521
02:13:40,720 --> 02:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Both of them on tomorrow's show. Make sure you join

2522
02:13:43,320 --> 02:13:44,480
Speaker 1: Steve and I. We'll see you there.
