00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: I got some dudes coming over for a watch party

10
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 4: at the house.

11
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 5: Wow.

12
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: Uh is a watch party of the house. And then

13
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 4: we're also going to divvy up the hockey tickets.

14
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Yeah, you told me the hockey draft.

15
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

16
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 4: I've got some guys who share my season ticket. Well

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 4: I share them with them, and they come over and

18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 4: pick games, and I pick games, and here we go.

19
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: Let's go. Yeah.

20
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: Players back out on the practice field today, Micah Hyde

21
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: participating on a limited basis.

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 2: He was out there yesterday dressed for practice, but there.

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: Was no practice report because the game is Monday night.

24
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: The first practice report will come out this afternoon, but

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: Micah Hyde limited in practice today, still working out the

26
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: kinks with the back injury. Coach McDermott continues to say

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: they'll take it day by day. Bill's practice updates presented

28
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: by Lee Coom Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. So

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: we'll see how he makes his way through the week

30
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: and what his official designation is today. I'm assuming it'll

31
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: be limited and we'll just go from there. I mean,

32
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: he does have an extra day with the game being

33
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 3: on Monday night, so that's a plus, and we'll see

34
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: where it goes from here. That's really the only major

35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 3: update concerning practice at this point in time.

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: And you know, we as we get.

37
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: More bits and pieces about the Jets, Steve a little

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: Birdie told us down New York Jets Way that it

39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: looks like Carl Lawson, one of their starting pass rushers,

40
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: will be back for this game. There was some doubt

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: that a back injury he suffered in the preseason and

42
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: kept him out for the final two preseason games for

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: the Jets, might jeopardize his availability for Week one against

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 3: the Bills, but it appears that he practiced yesterday. We'll

45
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: have to see how he makes his way through the

46
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: rest of the week. But Carl Lawson, who missed his

47
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: entire first season after signing with the Jets as a

48
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: free agent due to an achilles injury. Is back and

49
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: is labeled or listed as one of their starting defensive

50
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: and behind him our two first round picks, Jermaine Johnson

51
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: and Will McDonald the fifteenth overall picking this year's draft.

52
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: They got some horses, folks, They got some guys, They

53
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: got some guys. This is gonna be a tussle, a

54
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: real tussle. It would be a tussle even if von

55
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: Miller was one hundred percent. I mean it's the Jets

56
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: are a really good football team, and they're rejuvenated, and

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 4: they got some high expectations. They got some momentum coming in.

58
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: It's a little bit like the Bills last year in

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: LA showing up out there on the road. Although they

60
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: were on the road, the Bill's walking in there, you know,

61
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: into the World champions last year. This is gonna be

62
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: every bit of walking into that this year. This is

63
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: a team that is talented, hungry, all of that. Yeah,

64
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: I think I keep telling you, I think this is

65
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: the hardest game on the schedule all seventeen weeks, all

66
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: eighteen weeks of seventeen games. This is the hardest game.

67
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: This is the most difficult game for the Bills with

68
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: because of the unknowns of a new team, new coordinator,

69
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: new quarterback, all that stuff. Hostile atmosphere, hostile atmosphere on

70
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: nine to eleven, twenty second anniversary of that, and walking

71
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: in there with the Bills having a lot of new

72
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 4: faces too, getting ready improved faces. Yeah, all of that stuff.

73
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 4: Not a chance to game plan or scout these guys.

74
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: You know, preseason games mean nothing. There's a lot of

75
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: unknowns now on both sides too. But I think this

76
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: is going to be the most difficult game of the

77
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: year for the Bills to win, and really because of that,

78
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: because it's hard to prepare for it.

79
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: Plenty more to discuss on the game in just a second,

80
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: but we wanted to tell you that with the dawn

81

Speaker 3: Here the Football Relationship Hotline presented by Pepsi, the official

146
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: soft drink of the Buffalo Bills. This week's game sponsor,

147
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: by the way, is the Bflo Store, an official retailer

148
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: of the Buffalo Bills. Here in week one, we heard

149
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: from Sean McDermott again today. Steve interesting that a bulk

150
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: of the questions dealt with his dual role as head

151
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: coach and defensive coordinator and coach McDermott through the course

152
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: of the preseason up until now. He described it as

153
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: challenging because there are certain places where he has been

154
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: over the last six years as a head coach where

155
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: he can no longer be because of the time commitment

156
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: that the defensive coordinator job demands of him. And he

157
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: gave full marks to his coaching staff for filling in

158
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: the gaps to be where he cannot be at times.

159
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: But he's also enjoyed the benefit of being around the

160
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: players more in the meetings, coming up with solutions with

161
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: scheme and game plan and stuff like that. So it

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: seems like he is still working through how his daily

163
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: duties are different here at one Bill's Drive, But I

164
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 3: think on the whole he's enjoying it absolutely.

165
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: In fact, it's it's interesting to listen to him talk

166
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: about it, and the players have been asked about it

167
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 4: as well, and they're he has made it a point

168
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 4: to beat to tell those guys, hey, listen, just I'm

169
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: not the head coach when I mean I'm the defensive quarter.

170
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: Of that kind of demarcation, it means a little something

171
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 4: to the players, no question. I think he's probably has

172
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: a different demeanor when he's a defensive coordinator in talking

173
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 4: to just the defense.

174
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

175
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: And I think the players appreciate it and notice it.

176
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: And I also think too. You can tell by talking

177
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: to him and hearing all the questions he's feeled about

178
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 4: this aspect of his coaching duties. This staff and he

179
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 4: have really gone down a rabbit hole talking about situations

180
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: in games where this is happening, This is happening, that

181
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: is happening, What's gonna happen. Who's gonna talk to this guy?

182
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: Who's I can't do that? You have some who's gonna

183
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 4: take that? Who can talk to Josh Allen between plays?

184
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 4: Who can talk to you know, who can talk to

185
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: the offensive side. Who can talk to the offensive staff

186
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: while I'm being defsive coordinator and have my eyes on

187
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: the field. A lot of communication, I mean, that's all

188
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: coaching staff does all the time. On game day, they

189
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: are talking back and forth constantly. Guys upstairs in the booth,

190
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: there's like six or eight guys up there with headphones on.

191
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 4: The coaching is that. There's six or eight guys on

192
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: the sideline with headphones on. There's two players, one on

193
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 4: the offense, one on defense with a radio headset that

194
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 4: gets talked to by the coordinator all the information and

195
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: they all have a live analytics. It's live analytics, right,

196
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: game management.

197
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: We're going forward on this first day, right, it's the

198
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: win probability enhancement here.

199
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 4: You'd be shocked at the complexity of the communication process

200
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 4: that goes into it because of the position coaches, the

201
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 4: defensive position coaches, the quality control guys on either side

202
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 4: of the ball talk to the guy just above them,

203
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 4: and the guy just above them talks to the coordinator,

204
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: and the coordinators talk to the coach right and then

205
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 4: the game there might be a guy with a outside loop,

206
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 4: like a game management guy that has to be able

207
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: to chime into the head coach right away and say, hey, listen,

208
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: think about a timeout right now, you know, or if

209
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: this happens, taking the timeout, or if this happens, don't

210
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: take the time out here, let's wait. All of that

211
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: stuff goes into it, and you know, that's why you

212
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: see some of these coaches get caught once in a

213
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 4: while they're sprinting down the sideline because that communication just

214
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: got to them and says, hey, you got to get

215
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 4: the time out quick after this whistle and the ball

216
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage is down there in the red zone.

217
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 4: He's got a sprint. You see coach do it all

218
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 4: the time. All of this stuff is now part and

219
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 4: parcel on and off his plate where it hasn't been

220
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: for six years. And it was a huge issue. And

221
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 4: I'm sure he didn't make that when Leslie Fraser stepped

222
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 4: away for a year. I'm sure this wasn't a decision

223
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 4: that was made lightly. There's a lot in it, a

224
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: lot in it, as you can tell by the way

225
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 4: I'm going on and on about it. It's complicated, man, Oh,

226
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: it's complicated. And they they and they're trying to adjust

227
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: to what the other team's doing on a play by play,

228
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 4: certainly series by series basis.

229
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: So it's a different kind of balance that coach McDermott

230
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: has to strike here. But he did say being a

231
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: head coach for the last six years, he feels has

232
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: made him a better defensive coordinator because he's been more

233
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: readily exposed to the other phases of the game in

234
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: a more direct way. When you're the head coach, you're

235
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: trying to touch everything. You're sitting in all the rooms here, there,

236
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: and everywhere through the course of a game week, so

237
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: you're getting this input and this feedback and this dialogue

238
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: and as a head coach, you you absorb all of

239
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: that and maybe you see some things a little bit

240
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: differently than you did from your respective side of the

241
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: ball as a defensive coordinator coming up the coaching ladder.

242
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: And so he believes that he is even more equipped

243
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: now to be a successful defensive coordinator than he was

244
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: when he rose up through the ranks all the way

245
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 3: to a head coaching post in this league. So I'm

246
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: I think it's probably one of the most overlooked changes

247
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 3: for the Buffalo Bills coming into this season. His impact

248
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: as a defensive play caller for this team.

249
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: And this is let's not forget Steve.

250
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: This perennially, perennially has been a top five defense for

251
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: the better part of the last four years. I Mean,

252
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: everybody talks about the offense and we wonder we always

253
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 3: know why. You know, offense gets the headlines. It's the

254
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: exciting stuff. Oh my gosh, look at this, Look at that.

255
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: This defense has been damn good for the last several years.

256
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 3: And now you're getting a play caller with a proven

257
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: track record who now who considers himself a better defensive

258
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: coach than when he last did it. Yeah, So I

259
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: mean just I think it's being grossly underestimated the impact

260
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: that he is going to have.

261
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting to see what we notice, right, you

262
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: know what I mean, because we're you know, we don't.

263
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: I'm not a film junkie, you know, I'm I would

264
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 4: know if the players are certainly gonna know when they

265
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 4: get it, and they probably already do. They get a

266
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: sense of how it's different, particularly in the meetings obviously

267
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: because there's a different guy doing it. But in the game,

268
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: the players are gonna come off the field after a

269
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: couple of series and they're gonna go and bro, how

270
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 4: about that, how about our guy? You know, if it's

271
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 4: going well, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, and

272
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: that's it. You're right, players particular, you know, obviously hide

273
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: and poor you are really gonna notice that, you know

274
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 4: what I mean. The veteran guys are really gonna notice it.

275
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: Milano's really gonna notice it. Tredavius is really gonna notice it.

276
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: These guys that have been here through Leslie and all this,

277
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: where the defense has gone from just okay all of

278
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: a sudden top five every year, they're gonna say, wow,

279
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 4: this is Yeah, there's this guy's thinking differently, So we'll

280
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 4: see how what that means. But we want, you know,

281
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to just like, oh my gosh, they're

282
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: sending another you know, it's another blitz or not another bit,

283
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 4: or they're dropping out, or there's only three men rushing,

284
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: what's going on? That kind of thing.

285
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: I believe it was Adam Benini from Channel two who

286
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: asked him the question today. He referenced a quote that

287
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: coach McDermott said earlier in the season when he first

288
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: made the decision to be the defensive coordinator, saying he

289
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 3: wants this defense to embody his personality as a coach,

290
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: And so he was asked what is that personality? And

291
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: he kind of couched it with his answer. He was

292
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: playing a little coy. But I go back to twenty

293
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: eighteen and I remember a press conference with Sean McDermott

294
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: coming off a season where they exceeded expectations, made the

295
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: playoffs in twenty seventeen. He was asked about his defense

296
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen and he said, I want this defense

297
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: to be more nasty. I want some nastiness to this defense.

298
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: It's not talking about dirty play, talking about taking people's

299
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: heads off anything.

300
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: Like that.

301
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: I think he just wants them to be physical, provide

302
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: a measure of maybe even a little intimidation, to have

303
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: offensive players thinking about, Hey, when I come across the middle,

304
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: I'm getting a lick. I think there's an element of

305
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: physicality that Sean McDermott wants to inject to an even

306
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: greater degree into his defense. He's not saying it now,

307
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: because if we're in the regular season, probably doesn't want

308
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: to create any bulletin board material. But I get the

309
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: sense that he wants opposing offenses at the end of

310
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: a game to know that they played the Bills defense

311
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: and feel it.

312
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 6: Yeah.

313
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: I think you and I have noticed it too. He

314
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: tends he gravitated and the club gravitates. I think Brandon

315
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 4: Bean is on that schedule too. They draft guys with

316
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: a little grit, you know. Christian Benford's a perfect example.

317
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 4: Levi Wallace was a perfect example. Dan Jackson's perfect example.

318
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 4: These guys who are Karen Johnson, Taron Johnson's a perfect example.

319
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: These guys that are fringy, guys that are you know,

320
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 4: you know, maybe good at Matt Mullano same thing. Just

321
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: there's something about him that's serious, you know. What I mean,

322
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 4: really serious, and he I think that's kind of you

323
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 4: can bet that that's what his defense is going to

324
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: look like. There's gonna be some some dudes out there,

325
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 4: not that they haven't been in the past, but I

326
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 4: think that's the way he wants it, and maybe maybe

327
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: it always has been. Maybe that's why it's a top

328
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 4: five defense because he's picking the guys for Leslie Fraser

329
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: to coach. But that I think you're right, this is

330
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 4: an underrated aspect of this year's roster is to what

331
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 4: it's going to look like when they've got a different

332
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 4: mind calling defensive signals. They have been top five for

333
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: a handful of years, but they've been let's face, they've

334
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 4: been on tacular, you know what I mean.

335
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 6: Yep.

336
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: Then we talked about that too.

337
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 4: You never see a very rarely do you see these

338
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 4: players are like, oh wow, in twenty eighteen, when not nineteen,

339
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: when they went to the playoffs for the second time

340
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 4: and the first time with Josh Allenson starting quarterback. They

341
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 4: got off to a start in twenty nineteen that was

342
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 4: fueled by big defensive turnovers. They were getting them by

343
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 4: the handfuls, and then it cooled off later in the year,

344
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 4: but that start that they got because of the turnovers

345
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 4: fueled them and then you've never seen it since. Certainly

346
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 4: they've gotten some turnovers, they'd like twenty seven last year,

347
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 4: but man, oh man, this has been a defense that

348
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 4: to me has lacked a big play even with you know,

349
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 4: Poyer and Hide playing as good as they're playing and

350
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: all that. And there's been some splash plays. Aaron Johnson

351
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 4: interception returned ninety one hundred yards or ninety nine yards

352
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 4: for a touchdown, you know, the Micah Hyde interception with

353
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: Mac Jones in the playoff game. You know, there's been

354
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 4: a couple of those, but this has been a team

355
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 4: that has lacked that as an identity, their ability, like

356
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: you just knew they were going to do it at

357
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: some point. It's too much of a surprise these days.

358
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I get that. I'm also I'm trying to.

359
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out, like what we're going to

360
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 3: see on Monday night, just in terms of like are

361
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: the Bills ultra aggressive, like you know, like a basketball

362
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: team full court press and you're like, whoa where is

363
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: this coming from? Like what rabbits are going to get

364
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: pulled out of the hat Monday night, because, as you

365
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 3: mentioned on yesterday's show, this is the week of the unknowns.

366
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jets.

367
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: Don't know exactly what the Bills are going to do.

368
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: They might have an idea, but exactly how is it

369
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: going to look they don't know. And the Bills don't

370
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: really have a firm handle on how it's gonna look

371
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 3: from the Jets in all three phases. So I think

372
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 3: that's what makes these Week one games so intriguing, because

373
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 3: the cards are not all on the table right now.

374
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: They will be as we get through each successive week,

375
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 3: and then you know, by week three or four, most

376
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 3: teams will have a bead on their upcoming opponent, right

377
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: That is not the case this week, and it just

378
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: adds an extra level of intrigue to how the game

379
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: is going to unfold.

380
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: Who's gonna have the upper hand early.

381
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 3: Who might pulse, who might be holding on to something

382
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: for a little bit later in the game to unleash

383
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: and catch them by surprise when they really they have

384
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: a gotta have it play when they're down seven and

385
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: really need to even the score, and that kind of thing.

386
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: I love that back and.

387
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 4: Forth stuff and the way all these teams dissect film

388
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 4: and they're you know, it's a science. Most teams don't

389
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 4: even know themselves as well as they'd like to, you know,

390
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 4: they just don't know because they don't know how other

391
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 4: teams perceive them. They don't know what they're really good

392
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 4: at and the stuff they've seen in practice in the preseason.

393
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 4: Certainly they've had players that looked really good and really productive,

394
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 4: and they're really excited about seeing them in the regular season,

395
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 4: but they're not sure. So it's just like that. I mean,

396
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 4: the Bills will find out some things about their own

397
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 4: roster and about their own players in the next couple

398
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 4: of weeks and finally get an identity. But while they

399
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 4: do that, everybody else will be doing that about them

400
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 4: as well, and the Bills will be doing about all

401
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 4: their opponents as well. They will start to say, Okay,

402
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: they're doing this because they don't think this guy can

403
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 4: hold up in a different scheme over here. That kind

404
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 4: of thing. It's they get down to the minutia, and

405
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: so as much unknown as there is for the Bills

406
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 4: about the Jets, there's also unknowns about the Bills about

407
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 4: the Bills, and vice versa. So this opening weekend is

408
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 4: always you know, it can be a slap in the face,

409
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: but it's so yeah. You can't wait though. I mean,

410
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 4: this is gonna be It's gonna be so fun. These

411
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 4: two teams. I'm telling you right now, both these teams

412
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: are going to be in the playoffs at the end

413
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: of the season, and it's going to be a playoff

414
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 4: type atmosphere on nine to eleven in New Jersey. Coming

415

Speaker 3: players who addressed the media this week concerning this matchup

426
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 3: with the Jets in Week one. It's called Soundbits and

427
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: it's presented by Tim Horton's head coach Sean McDermott, quarterback

428
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, defensive end Von Miller all talk about the

429
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: week one matchup against their divisional rival, the New York

430
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: Jets in.

431
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 6: It needs of the games that you play for. This

432
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 6: is what makes our game great. Got Josh Allen Aaron

433
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 6: Rodgers on Monday Night Football. It's the last game of

434
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 6: the week.

435
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 7: You know, the Jets are not the same Jets team

436
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 7: that they've been in that they've been in the past.

437
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 6: You know, Buffalo Bills. We've been playing great football for

438
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 6: a while here, and you know it's gonna be a

439
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 6: great game.

440
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 8: It's the most important game for us because it's it's

441
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 8: the game we're playing this week, and we have a

442
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 8: lot of respect, certainly for the Jets and their coaching staff.

443
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 9: And you know it's our fifty three versus their fifty three,

444
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 9: and you know, whoever plays the best on Monday Night's

445
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 9: gonna win. So uh, it's it's no doubt that the

446
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 9: feeling on game day within the stadium, the juice that

447
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 9: those fans are going to have having a first ballot

448
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 9: Hall of Famers take take his first real snaps for

449
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 9: a team. I know that they're excited for that. So

450
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 9: that's why and where we need to rely on our

451
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 9: captains and our leadership and experience to make sure that

452
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 9: we're staying calm and ready and focus to play game.

453
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 10: Everybody out there is eager. Everybody out there missed football

454
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 10: and say, it's your first time getting to compete at

455
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 10: a high level. The preseason you kind of getting the

456
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 10: wrinkles off, but that first game, I feel like it's

457
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 10: also fine to yourself, I'm saying, what kind of team

458
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 10: you got, uh, figuring out your identity and all the

459
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 10: stuff that you've been putting on tape, consistently working that

460
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 10: kind of getting to actually put it to you.

461
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 11: It's a division game early like, so this is a

462
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 11: playoff game early for us, like that intensity is going

463
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 11: to be up, intensity is going to be high, and uh,

464
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 11: it's going to be.

465
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 12: Fireworks.

466
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 11: First game of the season, so you have no room

467
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 11: to really and get your feet wet against anybody, but

468
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 11: especially a divisional opponents.

469
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 6: It's going to be, you know, one of the legendary games.

470
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 13: There's'll be a lot of chess match out there, you know,

471

Speaker 13: well to win, you know, try our best to you know,

473
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 13: have to tackle out in space, try our best to

474
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 13: give them different looks and uh, you know, the opportunity

475
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 13: presents itself. We got to be able to make the plays,

476
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 13: and uh, you know it's going to be a great

477
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 13: atmosphere Monday night football opener, you know, in New York

478
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 13: City on nine of I mean, this is as big

479
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 13: time football as you can get right here.

480
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 3: So that is soundbits presented by Tim Hortons, Get the

481
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 3: app get rewards. What's your biggest takeaway from those comments?

482
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: The identity comment by Stefan Diggs or the atmosphere comment

483
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: by Jordan Poyer Because the Bills have been in these

484
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 3: atmospheres before over the last several years, five and zero

485
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: in primetime games last year, by the way, not for nothing.

486
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that means they're due, right do you have?

487
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: Well, no, the Jets haven't played in nearly as many

488
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 3: of the as those and by the way, they were

489
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: zering to in their primetime games last year, so it's different.

490
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I take more out of the Like

491
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 4: I was talking before we did the soundbits, it's Steph

492
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 4: Diggs saying, so we got to find out who we

493
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 4: are too, you know. But I know this too. We've

494
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 4: said it a gazillion times and I'll say it until

495
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: I think it's not true. Josh, Steph, there's a couple

496
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 4: of guys when he's healthy. They like the spotlight. They

497
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 4: love these games, They play well in these games. They

498
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 4: kind of try to show off in these games, and

499
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 4: it carries a lot of guys along with them who

500
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 4: maybe not be in that mindset. But man, oh man,

501
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: that it's contagious. There's some guys I want to see

502
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: play also, like Kincaid and James Cook. I want to

503
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 4: see those guys. But I think this that's what sticks

504
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 4: with me, is Steph Diggs talking about and we got

505
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 4: to find out who we are. This is also a

506
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 4: game that is extremely important and really a plus for

507
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 4: a team who's got strong leadership in the locker room.

508
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 4: Guys like Josh and Steph and Mitch Morris and Poyer

509
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 4: and hide Vaughn, guys that can that guys look to

510
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 4: and say hey, what about it? You know, and they say,

511
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 4: how it's going to be. It's it's comforting, it's it's inspiring,

512
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 4: and it's empower So having guys in the locker room

513
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 4: who've been through all of this and has some credibility

514
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 4: not just in your locker room, but in every locker

515
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: room it's important in games like this. I mean, he's

516
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 4: take the field some he's got you know, think about him, man,

517
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: don't kinkaid with I think he's been through. It is

518
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 4: his first game now, yeah, it's it's a big moment

519
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 4: for these guys.

520
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: There is a.

521
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: Cool thing that the NFL is unveiling this week. It

522
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 3: is called the Premier Patch. So essentially what's going to

523
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: happen is rookies making their first career NFL appearance in

524
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: an NFL regular season game will have a patch on

525
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: their uniform marking the occasion. So it's kind of a

526
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: program created by the league to recognize and celebrate a

527
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 3: player's first game in the NFL. So any player on

528
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: the club's fifty three player active roster who has never

529
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 3: been on a club's game day active list will wear

530
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 3: an NFL Premier Patch on their jersey.

531

00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 3: other players across the league making their first ever appearance

536
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: in a regular season NFL game as a professional.

537
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: Pretty cool that.

538
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: Is kind of cool. I did not know that. I

539
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 4: hadn't heard that.

540
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just announced it late yesterday and that's awesome.

541
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a cool idea, very cool.

542
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: And in the word premiere, the I in premiere is

543
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: a number one, you know, to kind of signify their

544
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: first game as a professional.

545
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: So kind of a cool deal for the newbies.

546
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: That's very cool because it's Yeah, I was telling a

547
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: story about my very first game ever just the other day.

548
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: It was on They had a highlight of it on

549
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 4: Good Morning Football. Was Miami in Houston in nineteen eighty

550
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: five Week one okay, yeah, And I was like, oh,

551
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 4: I was looking at it and I can't remember it was.

552
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 4: It was what happened to a Super Bowl team that

553
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 4: lost and came back the next year or that week one,

554
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 4: So that.

555
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: Was what went on the Dolphins in the eighty four

556
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: Super Bowl lost for the Niners.

557
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 4: It was Week one is a lie is the name

558
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 4: of the bit. They had all these clips, like, you know,

559
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: the Dolphins come in, they lose to a lowly Oilers team,

560
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 4: which I was a part of, and it didn't mean

561
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: anything because later on they were still back in the playoffs,

562
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 4: won their Division and the Oilers ended up being like

563
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: three and thirteen. So Week one was a lie and

564
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 4: I was part of the liar side of it, right,

565
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: so the way, but they showed it. And it was

566
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 4: that game and another number of other games over the

567
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: years that told you things that really turned out not

568
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 4: to be true. You remember your first game, you remember it.

569
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 4: My first game ever in a preseason game was that

570
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: same team in nineteen eighty five, and we suit it

571
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 4: up in the Hall of Fame game. I guess Bill

572
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 4: Parcels and Lawrence Taylor, those jokers, So you remember that stuff.

573
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: And to have a patch, I mean, all these guys

574
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 4: gonna have to keep that jersey. Yeah that goes home.

575
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 2: Man, he put that out to right.

576
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that you never got. That thing's never

577
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 4: going anywhere.

578

Speaker 4: It's good to see and I we got your fantasy

602
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 4: lineup just a little bit before the show, and I

603
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 4: must say, I know it's the start of a new season.

604
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: Sam Howell.

605
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 12: The best part, so I'll give them the precursor right now.

606
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 12: I know this is the beauty of daily fantasy though,

607
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 12: right is that? In daily fantasy? For those that are unfamiliar.

608
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 12: You have a budget, a salary cap that you're able

609
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 12: to spend each and every week, and players that are

610
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 12: priced at the top of the heap are often the

611
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 12: players that are going to everybody's lineup. So you're trying

612
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 12: to find the diferentiators. You're trying to find the values,

613
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 12: the bargains, and that's where Sam Halichick's in price. That's

614
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 12: seventy one hundred dollars this week for the Commanders who

615
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 12: play the Cardinals. And I've been playing a game of

616
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 12: trivia with my friends asking them how many Cardinals defensive

617
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 12: backs they can name, because specifically, that cornerback room is

618
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 12: very very thin. Right now, Howe's had an impressive preseason

619
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 12: for the Commanders, and you're trying to score three x

620
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 12: yr price. So Howell price, that's seven one hundred. You're

621
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 12: looking for a return of just around twenty one points,

622
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 12: which seems pretty reasonable in this matchup.

623
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 4: Now, I got to tell you, the over under for

624
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 4: me naming an Arizona defensive back is point five, and

625
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 4: you need to take the under.

626
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 12: I would have thought you get one out of you, Steve.

627
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 12: I could have seen you, you know, pull on a

628
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 12: random parco Wilson Junior or something like that. Out of nowhere.

629
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 12: Right now, there's a guy. There's a kid who's from

630
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 12: Western New York or you know, played his college ball locally,

631
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 12: played with one of your sons growing up or something.

632
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 12: I got to figure there was some sort of tie there.

633
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 12: But yes, it is a roster in major turnover right

634
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 12: now in Arizona.

635
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 3: All right, So the running back position field, and you know,

636
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 3: you spend some money here, and you went with.

637
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: A rookie that everybody.

638
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 3: Is high on, especially knowing he's going to be probably

639
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 3: carrying some of the burden, knowing they have a first

640
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: year starter in Ritter.

641
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: And then down south.

642
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 3: In the AFC East, you've got another running back who

643
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: in some ways was the last guy standing due to injury.

644
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, so a couple of notes here. B John Robinson

645
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 12: goes first. He's priced at seventy eight hundred dollars. And

646
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 12: you know, you guys cover a team on a daily

647
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 12: basis that has not spent major, major dollars on a

648
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 12: running back. And I think that typically is the right

649
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 12: strategy to employ in the modern NFL. But if you

650
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 12: are going to spend big on a running back, which

651
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 12: the Falcons did with the eighth overall pick. I do

652
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 12: think it's import to note that you better use that

653
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 12: guy a whole lot, and I'm expecting the Falcons to

654
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 12: use b Jon Robinson, a ton wonderful runner, a great

655
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 12: pass catcher as well. He can do it all. There's

656
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 12: really nothing in his skill set that suggests he's going

657
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 12: to be anything other than a star. And then with

658
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 12: the Dolphins, a note for those again less familiar with

659
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 12: Daily Fantasy Week one pricing locked a while ago, so

660
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 12: Raheem Moster being priced fifty nine hundred dollars was prior

661
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 12: to the news that Jeff Wilson Junior was going to

662
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 12: be out for not just this week but the first

663
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 12: four games at minimum because he's on IR So the

664
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 12: Dolphins are probably going to be much more of a

665
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 12: committee approach in the backfield later on in the season.

666
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 12: But with Wilson Junior currently out and Devon ait Chin

667
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 12: their third round pick out of Texas A and m

668
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 12: nursing his shoulder injury, this could be the Raheem most

669
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 12: show on Sunday, and they play a Chargers team that

670
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 12: I'm sure you guys are aware of this their achilles

671
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 12: heel over the past couple of years they can't defend

672
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 12: the run at all, and they did not do a

673
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 12: whole lot of better that this offseason.

674
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 4: And that's one of the things you get to as well,

675
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 4: when you look at past performances and you kind of

676
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 4: try and project them, at least even projecting into the

677
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 4: changes they've made. When they don't make changes, you have

678
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 4: a hard time seeing it improve in any stretch of

679
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: the imaginations. But one strategy that I continue to see

680
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 4: from you is that you're going to exploit matchups Washington

681
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: at Arizona or versus Arizona. You're gonna exploit that matchup

682
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: with your wide receiver room.

683
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 12: That's right John Dotson, the Commander's first round pick a

684
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 12: year ago and price at sixty five hundred dollars. Another

685
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 12: thing that you hear me talk about often is stacking

686
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 12: in daily fantasy, because, again, in daily fantasy, you don't

687
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 12: get points for finishing middle of the pack. Right like

688
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 12: in your season long leagues, it's okay to be you know, third, fourth, fifth,

689
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 12: stick wherever. During much of the regular season. As long

690
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 12: as you get into the playoffs, you've got a chance.

691
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 12: Daily fantasy is different. You got one shots when you

692
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 12: stack what you're doing is you're putting two players from

693
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 12: the same team together because if one of them goes off,

694
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 12: the like quid is that the other one of them

695
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 12: goes off. And that's the case with Jehan Dotson, especially

696
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 12: if Terry mclaurin's unavailable on Sunday. He's got turf toe

697
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 12: and he's been practicing so far this week. But if

698
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 12: for some reason he's not available, don't be surprised if

699
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 12: Jehan Dowson has a major day. And then you mentioned

700
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 12: earlier at the very beginning, how I'm going down on quarterback,

701
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 12: spending down on quarterback. That is in part because you

702
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 12: can spend up at wide receiver, and that is justin

703
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 12: Jefferson for the Minnesota Vikings playing at home against the

704
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 12: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, priced at ninety five hundred dollars. I

705
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 12: don't often have a guy who's going to be the

706
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 12: highest priced player, perhaps on the entire slate, in my lineup.

707
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 12: But Jefferson last year had over thirty points and seven

708
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 12: different games. That was the most in the NFL. So

709
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 12: there's some comfort involved with taking Jefferson Jefferson for your

710
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 12: daily fantasy lineup, as in this case, you're second wide receiver,

711
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 12: and the last wide receiver is a name that I'm

712
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 12: not even sure fans in Denver totally aware of yet.

713
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 12: That's Marvin Mims, junior second round pick out of Oklahoma.

714
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 12: And if you're sitting there saying like, how does he

715
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 12: have zero points? Zero Fantasy points per game in his career?

716
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 12: Because they're playing for he's a rookie, he is going

717
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 12: to be pressed into some duty. It would seem sooner

718
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 12: rather than later because Jerry Judy is very iffy to

719
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 12: play on Sunday, it's got a hamstring injury. But it's

720
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 12: a good matchup against the Raiders. This Raiders team who

721
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 12: kind of pieced together a cornerback room throughout the offseason,

722
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 12: but no star players in that secondary, at least at

723
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 12: the cornerback spot. Wouldn't surprise me if Russell Wilson looks

724
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 12: a little bit more like himself at least in Week

725
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 12: one for this Denver offense.

726
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then at the tight end position, I kind

727
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 3: of feel like you're going with a guy on a

728
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: team where with their major receiving target out of the lineup,

729
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 3: they got to throw the ball to somebody and it

730
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 3: might as well be Tyler Higby.

731
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 12: Volume matters and fantasy football, and Tyler Higby has set

732
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 12: himself up for a lot of volume in Week one because,

733
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 12: as you mentioned, Chris, there's going to be no Cooper

734
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 12: Cup this weekend. So Cooper Cup out at least this week.

735
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 12: Hopefully it's not too much longer than that Brownie, But

736
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 12: if we get him back in week two, that will

737
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 12: be a wonderful thing. He will not be back in

738
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 12: Week one as he had that hamstring injury. And this

739
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 12: Rams team is not going to be very good this year.

740
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 12: They just have so many roster holes that you can

741
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 12: see from a mile away. But Tyler Higby is a good,

742
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 12: solid player for them, and I would say that in

743
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 12: terms of the leftover pass catchers without Cooper Cup, Tyler

744
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 12: Higbye is the most certain player getting for pretty good

745
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 12: value here at fifty three hundred bucks. Again remembering that

746
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 12: you know price is locked a while ago for this

747
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 12: Week one lineups. And last thing I'll say on Higbee

748
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 12: is you can go back and look at what it

749
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 12: looked like last year when there was no Cooper Cup,

750
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 12: and it was a very busy Tyler Higbee. So wouldn't

751
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 12: surprise me if you leave the team in targets on

752
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 12: Sunday against the Seahawks, and.

753
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 4: Then of course your flex positioning, you know, with somebody

754
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 4: everybody knows in the National Football League, Jamar Chase. He's

755
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 4: a pricey dude at eighty five hundred bucks. But is

756
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 4: can there be any doubt that he's the number one

757
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: guy on maybe the number one offense. Maybe the one

758
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 4: doubt is how durable Joe Burrow is going to be

759
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 4: and how well he can play after not having a preseason.

760
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, it seems like the Bengals aren't too concerned about

761
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 12: the lack of reps for Joe Burrow because of that

762
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 12: calf injury. It's kind of an interesting debate dilemma facing

763
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 12: coaches around the NFL, like how much, if at all,

764
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 12: do you play your guys. I want to say I

765
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 12: saw something like ten of the projected Week one starters

766
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 12: did not take a single snap at least amongst quarterbacks

767
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 12: during the preseason. The Bengals obviously were amongst the teams

768
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 12: to really fade their starters in the preseason, and in

769
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 12: the case of some teams it might look a little

770
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 12: bit rusty. In the case of others, it might suggest

771
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 12: that preseason is overrated for some players. I think Cincinnati

772
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 12: will look more like a team that is put together

773
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 12: season has sort of been there, done that, and I

774
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 12: expect that Jamar Chase, who averaged over eleven targets per

775
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 12: game last season, which was number one in the NFL,

776
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 12: will be one of the best players in all of

777
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 12: fantasy for a Week one and probably for the entire

778
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 12: season for Cincinnati.

779
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 3: And then finally Field, if you want to feel sorry

780
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: for a rookie quarterback, CJ. Stroud is your man, because

781
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: I don't think he's going to have a welcome to

782
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: NFL moment. He's going to have a welcome to the

783
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 3: NFL game against this defense.

784
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 12: My god, Yeah, that's right, the Ravens who wrap up

785
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 12: the lineup here for US price at five thousand bucks.

786
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 12: And I will mention this plenty of times this season.

787
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 12: A lot of times I punt on defense, I just

788
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 12: find a very cheap one because even the upside for

789
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 12: the best defenses is still fairly mitigated. But I do

790
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 12: think that Baltimore has its way on Sunday. You know,

791
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 12: this Ravens team is looking for more consistency amongst its

792
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 12: pass rushers. But this is a team that you know,

793
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 12: schematically is going to give CJ. Shroud some stuff he's

794
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 12: not necessarily never seen before, but maybe even like never

795
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 12: dreamt of before. So I wouldn't be surprised if they

796
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 12: throw the kitchen sink at him, even without Marlon Huntrey.

797
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 12: I expect that this Ravens team team is ready to go,

798
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 12: a team that at least feels like it is being

799
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 12: overlooked right now in the AFC. That defense should have

800
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 12: a chance to feast on a very inexperienced Texans team

801
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 12: at least under center, and one that will be without

802
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 12: it's probably second or third best offensive player and Titus

803
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 12: Howard it's right tackle.

804
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 4: All right, last one before we let you go field.

805
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 4: Any fantasy considerations you're looking at for the Monday night

806
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 4: game between our Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets.

807
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because because this

808
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 12: is a daily fantasy lineup, I was married to the

809
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 12: Sunday slate, so I could only pick players playing on Sunday,

810
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 12: so all Bills were ineligible for that. But I'd say,

811
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 12: you know, the usual suspects are going to be stars

812
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 12: for Buffalo, right, It's not going to be just Josh Allen,

813
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 12: it's going to be Stefon Diggs. Sort of the players

814
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 12: that I think I am on what to watch for

815
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 12: mode would be, is this James Cook backfield mostly to himself?

816
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 12: Or do Latavious Murray and Damien Harris get some key

817
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 12: carries in the goal line or something like that, Does

818
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 12: Gabe Davis have the season this year that some we're

819
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 12: expecting last year? And then lastly, it would be Dalton Kincaid.

820
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 12: Can he snap the streak that has plagued rookie tight

821
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 12: ends for quite some time in fantasy, which is that

822
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 12: it's very hard to find one that comes onto the

823
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 12: scene immediately and has this long, season long impact that

824
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 12: just absolutely crushes it. But we didn't talk a lot

825
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 12: during the pre draft process, but if I were to

826
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 12: find a tight end that I think has a chance

827
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 12: to break the mold from recent draft classes, Dalton Kincaid

828
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 12: is it because he may be a tight end in

829
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 12: terms of his roster spot, but as you guys know,

830
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 12: he might well function as sort of a big receiver

831
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 12: in the middle of the field for this Buffalo offense.

832
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 2: Field.

833
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,560

834

835
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 12: I was gonna say, guys, you know what, Let's do

836
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 12: it again in a week. I can't wait.

837
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,120

872
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 3: is Pat all the way out in New Mexico.

873
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Pat?

874
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 14: Hi?

875
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 15: This is Patrick Patt in New Mexico, and I just

876
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 15: wanted to talk about the Monday night game.

877
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 2: Sure.

878
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 15: I wanted to know your thoughts on our new defensive

879
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 15: coordinator and basically about our Delvin Cook juts in your

880
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 15: running back. I know he had over one hundred yards

881
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 15: and a touchdown touchdown last game. And also I think

882
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 15: that the Delvin Cook and James Cook matchup could be

883
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 15: the matchup to watch instead of Aaron Rodgers and Josh

884
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 15: Allen because we know that the Bills do not have

885
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 15: a good run defense. And just your thoughts on how

886
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 15: our new defensive coordinator can work on our defense on

887
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 15: our run game.

888
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks for the golf, Pat, appreciate it. I'll say this,

889
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 3: there is news on Dalvin Cook.

890
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 2: He is good to go.

891
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 3: As we know, he was coming off offseason shoulder surgery,

892
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 3: so even though he signed with the Jets, whether or

893
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 3: not he was going to be fully one hundred percent

894
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 3: healthy for the regular season was still a bit in

895
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 3: doubt at the start of the year. But he got

896
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 3: full clearance, so he is good to go, and I

897
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: would anticipate Steve that he's going to get the lion's

898
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 3: share of the workload on Monday night as they ease

899
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 3: Bryce Hall back in from his ACL knee surgery from

900
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: this offseason.

901
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that he's one of the guys that

902
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 4: will be a surprise as contributor, maybe not a surprise

903
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 4: contributor us. We've been watching it. He can play and

904
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 4: the Jets know it. And I'll say this too, think

905
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 4: about what Aaron Rodgers has said about Dalvin Cook to

906
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 4: the Jet coaching staff. Aaron Rodgers played against the guy

907
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 4: for Dalvin's entire career, and he's got to know the

908
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 4: guy can really go. So he's probably advocating for, you know,

909
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 4: let me get that guy the ball. I saw him

910
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 4: do this to us in Green Bay for years, so

911
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 4: there's probably a little bit of that going on as well.

912
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 4: And the same thing with Nathaniel Hackett watching the guy

913
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 4: as an offensive coordinator, watching the other team use that

914
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 4: guy against you, So there's probably some of that going on.

915
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 4: I think that's a great matchup James and Dalvin. They

916
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 4: were here last year when Dalvini he had a great

917
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 4: game against the Bills in a game that Vikings should

918
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 4: have lost. Another you're right. Another thing is about Sean McDermot,

919
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator. It is going to be different. We've

920
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 4: been talking about a little bit on the show already

921
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 4: about what is going to mean for Sean mcdermom's lineup

922
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 4: and get it all right, defensively as the defensive coordinator

923
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 4: and then also get it right as the head coach.

924
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 4: So it went seemed to go well in the preseason,

925
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 4: but that was the preseason.

926
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 3: I will say this, though, Pat, you kind of characterized

927
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 3: the Bills run defense as substandard. They were fifth in

928
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 3: the league last year in run defense, not for nothing,

929
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 3: middle of the pack in terms of yards per carry

930
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 3: against where they ranked fourteenth giving up four point three

931
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 3: per carry, But as far as rushing yards per game

932
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 3: was one oh four point six and that was fifth

933
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: best in football.

934
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: So they were a top five run defense last season.

935
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 3: And I think they're more equipped now to defend the

936
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 3: run better than they did last year. With the defensive

937
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 3: front they've assembled and the depth that they've added.

938
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 2: You got a better edge setter.

939
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 3: And Leonard Floyd at one defensive end, along with Greg

940
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 3: Russou on the other side, two long players who can

941
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: set the edge, and four stuff back inside very well.

942
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 3: And then you've you're deeper and more talented at the

943
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 3: defensive tackle position. I mean, think about this, Steve, one

944
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 3: of these five guys is going to be inactive on

945
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 3: Monday night. One of these five, probably not at Oliver,

946
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 3: probably not Daikwon Jones, but then you have Jordan Phillips,

947
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 3: Tim Settle and Puna Ford. One of those three guys

948
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 3: is gonna be an active Monday Night, not even gonna

949
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 3: play probably, Yeah, you know what I mean.

950
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, they'll probably go with at least four Yeah,

951
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 4: I mean that's crazy. Yeah, they're not gonna probably activate.

952
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 4: They're not gonna activate.

953
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 3: My point is that's that's the depth to bring it

954
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 3: to the table here.

955
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got some guys, and and so did the Jets. Yeah.

956
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 4: This we were talking about this with Thurman on Tuesday,

957
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 4: and he thought this was gonna be a what was

958
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 4: it a fourteen seventeen game?

959
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 2: He thought? He predicted seventeen thirteen.

960
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, seventeen thirteen. And I thought it was going to

961
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 4: be much different than that because of and mostly because

962
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 4: of the unknowns. I thought it was both teams are

963
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 4: going to be in the mid to high mid to

964
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 4: high twenties or the low thirty to mid thirties. So

965
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 4: we differed vastly on that. Last year, these were low

966
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 4: scoring games with the Jets. For the Bills, I think

967
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 4: Opening Night changes that for these teams. I think there's

968
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 4: just too much to think about you'll be ready for.

969
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to cover all the bases in week one.

970
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 2: It really is both these teams coming.

971
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 4: Both these teams got guys man on offense and defense too,

972
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 4: no question. But Aaron Rodgers is gonna think his way

973
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 4: through this and Josh is just gonna superman his way

974
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 4: through it. And they're gonna make some plays, extend some plays,

975
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 4: and whether they get a pass rush or not, they

976
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 4: still got to run him down. So he'll extend some

977
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 4: plays and make some plays where otherwise would have been

978
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 4: somebody else would have been on the ground, and Aaron

979
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 4: Rodgers is gonna get rid of it to somebody. So

980
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 4: I think these two quarterbacks make the difference in this

981
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 4: game being a seventeen fourteen game instead of a thirty

982
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 4: three to thirty game.

983
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see what happens.

984
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 3: I think anybody's guess is a decent guest right now,

985
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 3: because nobody knows, maybe this week more than any other week.

986
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 4: As we said, that's what I've talked myself into, that's

987
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 4: what we do, right, I mean, everybody's the same. Go

988
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 4: if you think you see it the way you see it,

989
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 4: and and you know nobody can predict the future. But

990
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 4: that's you know, I can feel that, you know, that's

991
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 4: where I'm at.

992
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,759

00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 2: Bill's Live.

1020
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 16: Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. Love listening to your show. I

1021
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 16: heard you make your comments about Dalvin Cook and our

1022
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 16: matchup against them. He's no doubt he's elite. He's great

1023
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 16: at what he does. But you know, if I recall,

1024
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 16: I mean, I was just having a conversation last week

1025
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 16: with a buddy of mine. He ran the ball fourteen times,

1026
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 16: he had like one eighty something yard run. He only

1027
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 16: averaged two point nine yards to carry against us the

1028
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 16: rest of the game. Ye, So you know, I know

1029
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 16: we're we're missing tremade Enbins and I believe we even

1030
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 16: had Von still in our matchup against them last year.

1031
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 16: But I mean, personally, I'm hopeful that we still stack

1032
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 16: up against that. Yeah, there are listening to your thoughts.

1033
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no problem, thanks man.

1034
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 3: I mean there's no doubt that there are a lot

1035
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 3: of new pieces that the Jets are going to have

1036
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 3: to fit together, Aaron Rodgers chief among them. I know

1037
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 3: he's got two receivers in that receiving corps with whom

1038
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 3: he is already familiar in Alan Lazard and Randall Cobb,

1039
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 3: And all indications are he's had a nice rapport with

1040
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson, their top receiver through the course of the

1041
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 3: summer in the preseason. But you've got a right tackle

1042
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 3: for them and Mackay Beckton, who hasn't played regular season

1043
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 3: football in two calendar years. You've got a left tackle

1044
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 3: in Dwayne Brown, who, at age thirty eight, played zero

1045
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 3: in the preseason and hasn't really practiced at all as

1046
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 3: he spent most of the preseason.

1047
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: On the pup list.

1048
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 3: So the two edges of your offensive line are going

1049
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 3: to need some adjustment time to get up to speed

1050
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: with regular season football. That's number one, And then you

1051
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 3: talk about the other editions. Dalvin Cook, how is he

1052
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 3: working with that offensive line in terms of the blocking

1053
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,720
Speaker 3: schemes and reading his blockers and being an effective ball carrier.

1054
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 2: What is Breece Hall going to be able.

1055
00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 3: To do coming off an ACL injury and seeing his

1056
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: first regular season action.

1057
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 2: If at all.

1058
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 3: So there are question marks on the offensive side of

1059
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 3: the ball from a Newess perspective and from a continuity perspective.

1060
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 3: And to say you're gonna have it all buttoned up,

1061
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 3: air tight in Week one, I.

1062
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: Think might be a little foolhardy. There are going to

1063
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 2: be some hiccups.

1064
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 3: The question is whether or not Buffalo is going to

1065
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 3: be able to take advantage of those hiccups defensively and

1066
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 3: create more opportunities for their offense.

1067
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 2: Right.

1068
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 4: Certainly, it has helped, I think for the Jets to

1069
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 4: have Aaron Rodgers in the building most of the offseason.

1070
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 4: But Aaron Rodgers has run this offense for a long time.

1071
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 4: But Garrett Wilson hasn't, Mikole Hardman hasn't, none of the

1072
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 4: offensive linemen have. Alan Lazard maybe, but these guys Aaron

1073
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 4: may be better in this offense than the guys who've

1074
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 4: been there the longest. That's the problem. Nathaniel Hackett's new

1075
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 4: to the Jets, uh, and this offense they're running had

1076
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 4: to be installed for everybody else, not just you know,

1077
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 4: not Aaron Rodgers, but everybody else. There's some question marks there.

1078
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook got added late. What do they think about him,

1079
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 4: What do they know about him? What are they willing

1080
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 4: to trust him with? At this point, there's a lot

1081
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 4: of unknowns here. The offensive line is probably, you know,

1082
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 4: got some new things to think about as well. And

1083
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 4: as he might think, they haven't had that many reps

1084
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 4: together with injuries and all the things that are going

1085
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 4: on in their training camp. This this group hasn't played

1086
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 4: much in the preseason and hasn't had many snaps together

1087
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 4: in practice because of guys in and out of the lineup.

1088
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 4: We'll see, Yeah, the Jets are good, there's no question

1089
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 4: about it. They'll get some of this stuff lined up.

1090
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 4: And if they don't have it lined up in week

1091
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 4: one here in Buffalo, we're gonna know better than anybody,

1092
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 4: it's not gonna be derailed their season. These two teams

1093
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 4: are gonna be good. The Jets are gonna win some games.

1094
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 4: The Bills are gonna win a bunch of games. All

1095
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 4: of that's true. But this this first game, man, oh man,

1096
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 4: you just don't know until you see them tee it

1097
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 4: up and play and bang into each other sometimes these

1098
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,919
Speaker 4: games and likes the story I told you that I saw,

1099
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 4: You know, week one can lie to us about what's

1100
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 4: gonna happen in the regular season. Remember when the Bills

1101
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 4: beat the Patriots thirty one nothing two thousand and Yeah,

1102
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 4: remember how that turned out. There's this game is big.

1103
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 4: It's a Monday night game. These two teams are division opponents,

1104
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 4: and they're both good headed to the playoffs. In all

1105
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 4: our minds, that's as big as you can get for

1106
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 4: the first game of the regular season. Yet sixteen more

1107
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 4: of these jokers after it. So you know, it's not

1108
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 4: the end of the world when you lose. It's not

1109
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 4: the it's not the super Bowl when you win. But

1110
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 4: you really got to manage the aftermath plus and minus

1111
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 4: good and bad. And you know that may be the

1112
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 4: biggest challenge of this game coming away from it.

1113
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think there will be ebbs and flows

1114
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 3: to the game as well. Like one team may come

1115
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 3: out like gangbusters in the first quarter and then all

1116
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden they have a lull and the other

1117
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 3: team swings their way back into the game, you know,

1118
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 3: throwing a couple of haymakers, and all of a sudden

1119
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 3: it's a tight game.

1120
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 2: Again.

1121
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 3: I think there might be one team, you know, getting

1122
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 3: up early, another team pulling back even and then there's

1123
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 3: another surge here, another EBB there, another flow there. I

1124
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 3: really I think this is going to be a pretty

1125
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 3: tight contest unless one team just for whatever reason, just

1126
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 3: cannot execute the way they anticipated.

1127
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to be the case. I

1128
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 2: think it's going to be pretty tight through it.

1129
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it always looks that. Here's the thing, when

1130
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 4: one defense plays great, then the other team's offense looks

1131
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 4: like it's not ready. You know, it's good defense. Both

1132
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 4: these teams have really good defenses. It's not going to

1133
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 4: be one of those, you know, fifty one to forty

1134
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 4: eight games, like that Monday night game years ago between

1135
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 4: the Chiefs and the Rams four or five years ago.

1136
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 3: I think the over unders like thirty six points. And

1137
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 3: I was kind of thinking it'd be like a twenty

1138
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 3: four to twenty one kind of game because I think

1139
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 3: the defenses are going to have something to say about

1140
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 3: it in this one, despite the exploits of two outstanding quarterbacks.

1141
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and to Jack in Rochester.

1142
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 2: What do you got for his?

1143
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 6: Jack?

1144
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 2: You're on one Bill's Live.

1145
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 17: Hey guys, you guys were talking about you. There's a

1146
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 17: lot of question marks with this with the game coming up,

1147
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 17: and I think it's gonna be a tight game. But

1148
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 17: I think the one thing that's been overlooked a little

1149
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 17: bit or hasn't been talked about, is that they don't

1150
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 17: have any of Sean's defense on tape. They got Leslie's,

1151
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 17: they don't have Shawn's.

1152
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean sure they could go back to Carolina

1153
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 3: and look at some of that tape you know, from

1154
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 3: years ago, about six seven years ago, and it's with

1155
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 3: totally different personnel, So there really isn't a lot of

1156
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 3: redeeming value there.

1157
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 2: So you're right, Jack, there's a validity to that.

1158
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna call it differently, so it may take

1159
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 3: them a while to get a read on how McDermott's

1160
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 3: calling the game for the Bills defense.

1161
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, very much so. But that's only one of a

1162
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 4: long list for both these teams of unknowns. Yeah, certainly,

1163
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 4: coordinator is a big one. And the Bills walked into

1164
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 4: LA last year with a brand new offensive coordinator and

1165
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 4: with a lot of unknowns, and the answer was yes,

1166
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 4: they scored, and they hung thirty one points on the

1167
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 4: World champions. That could happen to either one of these teams.

1168
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 4: Jets have a new offensive coordinator, new quarterback too, So

1169
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 4: we'll see.

1170
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 3: There is value though, Steve, in the fact that the

1171
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 3: Bills did play the Packers last year and Aaron Rodgers

1172
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 3: and Alan Lazard and Randall Cobb and that offensive system.

1173
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 3: For all intents and purposes, there is some measure of

1174
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 3: recall there. And you're probably watching that film. I mean,

1175
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 3: it wasn't Hackett calling the plays. It was Lafleur last

1176
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 3: year for the Packers.

1177
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Think about it. Hackett was in Denver.

1178
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 4: Think about the Hackett wasn't there, Aaron was there by,

1179
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 4: you know, with a different crew man. That's hard.

1180
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 2: It's minimal value.

1181
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 4: It's minimal in my opinion.

1182
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so well yeah, I mean you really feel like

1183
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 3: you're kind of going into this blind, like you feel

1184
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 3: like you have an idea. But I it wouldn't surprise

1185
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 3: me in the least. We come out of the first

1186
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 3: quarter of that game and we're looking at each other going,

1187
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 3: I didn't expect that, right, you know what I mean,

1188
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 3: whether it's for the good or the bad.

1189
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 4: Right, I have a hard time and we've never we

1190
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 4: don't see it. You see it once every what two

1191
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 4: or three years, where the Bills will go out and

1192
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 4: stink right like the Cincinnati game, this playoff game last year.

1193
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 4: Then you got to go back, what two years to

1194
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 4: the Colt game. You know, you know, you go, they're

1195
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 4: just very few. It's different for the Jets, but you know,

1196
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 4: I have a hard time seeing the Bills going out

1197
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 4: and being the center of a bad performance. But in

1198
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 4: a tough game, a scratch clawed out game. The Bills

1199
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 4: have lost those games. They lost to the stink in

1200
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 4: Minnesota Vikings last year, and this Jet team beat them

1201
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 4: with this good defense, and they they wilted in the

1202
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 4: heat in Miami after having the football for forty minutes

1203
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 4: of the game or something like that. So it does happen,

1204
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 4: but it's not because they It's like, yeah, if one

1205
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 4: team or other turns it over, okay, this thing could

1206
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 4: get out of hand and all that. Yeah, but man

1207
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 4: oh man, it's not going to be because they're you know,

1208
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 4: they're not talented or not shouldn't be in the game.

1209
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 4: They're going to execute. You could get the odd tipped

1210
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 4: interception or the bad throw by one of these guys,

1211
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 4: or they fool them or whatever, or they get under

1212
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 4: duress and something happens sack, strip, fumble, that kind of stuff,

1213
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 4: those kind of plays. But neither of these teams I

1214
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 4: think are going to show up and flop.

1215
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I.

1216
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 4: Just don't think it's that kind of game. I don't

1217
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 4: think it's going to be a thirty eight to three

1218
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 4: game either on either side, you know what I mean.

1219
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 3: One team would have to just fritter the game away

1220
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 3: and you know, fumble the ball all over the place.

1221
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 2: It's not going to turnovers.

1222
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 4: I just don't see that happening. I just don't.

1223
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 3: We are awaiting post practice comment from a host of players,

1224
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 3: and when we get those and when they are approaching

1225
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 3: the post practice podium to address the media, we'll bring

1226
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 3: that commentary to you. Among the players we're expected to

1227
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 3: hear from this afternoon, Greg Russeau, Micah Hyde, Mitch Morris,

1228
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 3: Gabe Davis, So as soon as they're addressing the media,

1229
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 3: we will make sure those comments get.

1230
01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 2: To you as well.

1231
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 3: Three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two,

1232
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,920

1243
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 3: Well, it can happen sometimes because people are just there

1244
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 3: to hang around with people, not to watch the game,

1245
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 3: And you're like, why are you here?

1246
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 2: I got to go somewhere else. How am I rude?

1247
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 3: If I slip out and go upstairs and watch the

1248
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 3: game on the TV upstairs by myself in my room

1249
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 3: with the door locked. There's nothing wrong with that if

1250
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:56,959
Speaker 3: you can cleverly find an escape plan.

Speaker 3: an open line for you there and we go to

1257
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 3: mark An Orchard Park. What do you got for us?

1258
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 2: Mark?

1259
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 14: Hello, Chris, Hello, Steve, talk to you. You know a

1260
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 14: few times. My whole thing is is I look at

1261
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 14: Aaron Rodgers age and he's he's at the end.

1262
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 6: Of his career.

1263
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 14: Is the day did the Jets bring him in just

1264
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 14: to fill the thing? Because I don't think he'll be

1265
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 14: able to take on what the Bills are going to

1266
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 14: throw at him. We have changed our defensive style, especially

1267
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 14: with Sean McDermott now taking over the defense.

1268
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 18: Uh.

1269
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 14: Let so if he was, you know, I always said

1270
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 14: before with hughs that maybe he was the problem that

1271
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 14: we didn't blitz enough. But I can't see him competing

1272
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 14: with us, And I'll let you go with.

1273
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 2: That, all right.

1274
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 4: Well, depending on father time is an if he proposition,

1275
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 4: because there's an old country song that goes like this,

1276
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 4: You're not as good as I'm not as good as

1277
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 4: I once was, but I can be as good once

1278
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 4: as I ever was. You want to hit right, You

1279
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 4: don't want to hit Aaron Rodgers when he's as good

1280
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 4: as he ever was. And I think I get the

1281
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 4: feeling he can pull that out, particularly on an opening

1282
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 4: night game of this Magnete.

1283
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 3: And as you mentioned, he's rejuvenated in a new place

1284
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 3: with a new team. And he was just on the

1285
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 3: Pat McAfee show today and he was saying how the

1286
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 3: whole experience with the Jets has gone even better than

1287
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 3: he anticipated. So it's all Kumbaia and rainbows and butterflies

1288
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 3: for Aaron Rodgers right now.

1289
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1290
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 2: So he's motivated and rejuvenated.

1291
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 4: Right and that means something, it really does. I think

1292
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 4: that's contagious for the guys around him. I think they

1293
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 4: look at him and think, well, if he thinks this

1294
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 4: is really and he probably is, he probably does believe

1295
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 4: it and it's genuine. And I'll say this in the

1296
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 4: locker room. If it's not genuine, the players smell it.

1297
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 6: Uh.

1298
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 4: If he's genuine about all this, that's contagious for a

1299
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 4: locker room. If you got a guy of Aaron rodgers

1300
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 4: credibility and experience and his pedigree in your locker room

1301
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 4: feeling that your team is really special, you believe it,

1302
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 4: you believe it, and that's contagious. So I yeah, the

1303
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 4: Jets are. We've said the Jets are for real and

1304
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,919
Speaker 4: this game notwithstanding, they're gonna win a ton of games

1305
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 4: and I'm telling you, I think they're gonna be a

1306
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 4: playoff team this year. But they got they got a

1307
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 4: tough schedule, and the first tough part about it is

1308
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 4: Monday Night because they're playing the Buffalo Bills with Josh

1309
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 4: Allen and Steph Diggs and those jokers.

1310
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 3: Let's see, yeah, they're and in particular, if you haven't

1311
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 3: looked at it yet, the first six weeks for the Jets.

1312
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 4: Are a Bear, Bills, Cowboys, Patriots, Chiefs, Broncos, Eagles maybe

1313
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 4: yeah yeah, And you know the Bills are right behind them.

1314
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 3: I mean, the Bills have the seventh toughest schedule in football.

1315
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 3: I believe the Jets have the fifth toughest schedule. The

1316
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 3: Dolphins have the second toughest schedule. It's the Eagles with

1317
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 3: the toughest schedule in the league this year by opponents

1318
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 3: winning percentage from last year, which some people will tell

1319
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 3: you is not always the most accurate predictor of how

1320
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 3: tough your schedule is going to be. There are some

1321
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 3: advanced analytic people out there that have different methods by

1322
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 3: which to describe how tough your opponent's schedule is. And

1323
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 3: I've seen lists where it had the Bills in the

1324
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 3: top five based on some advanced analytics assessments of strength

1325
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 3: of schedule. But the Jets and everybody else in the

1326
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 3: AFCs to have a tough schedule the way it's stacked

1327
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 3: the first six weeks for the Jets, though, who Bill's Cowboys, Patriots, Chiefs, Broncos, Eagles.

1328
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 2: Have fun with that.

1329
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and listen, they may pop out of that for

1330
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 4: and one, three and three, three, Yeah, four and one,

1331
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 4: four and two, five and one and looking great or

1332
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 4: you know, three and three, two and four and then

1333
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 4: you know, and then it's gonna be like, you know,

1334
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 4: we'll see. I think they're gonna be tough to beat.

1335
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna be really tough to beat.

1336
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 2: Back to the phones and to Richard and Rochester, what

1337
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 2: do you got for us?

1338
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: Richard, I got two questions. First, I heard of another show.

1339
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,520
Speaker 1: He said, the craziest guys on the team are the gunners.

1340
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Steve I wonder to too, had a response to that.

1341
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 4: Okay, what else?

1342
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 2: I think that's all he was worried about.

1343
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,560
Speaker 1: And the other question is the linebackers are so undersized

1344
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: when you consider Aaron Johnson as a linebacker, are they

1345
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: gonna be able to stop the run.

1346
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question. But yeah, I think they'll

1347
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 4: be a right and I don't think they're afraid of

1348
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 4: the size. The one thing that bob The one thing

1349
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 4: generally speaking, when you talk about size in the run game,

1350
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 4: particularly with undersized guys, is you worry about their durability.

1351
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 4: They can, they can hold up to it, but sooner

1352
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 4: or later something gives because there's too much weight and

1353
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 4: velocity coming at them all the time. If they have

1354
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 4: that ability to get underneath it and kind of dodge it,

1355
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 4: like Taron Johnson seems to have, he's always available. But

1356
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 4: you worry about their durability more than you worry about

1357
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 4: their their production. So as long as they're out there,

1358
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 4: they're gonna be fine. When they start getting guys out

1359
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 4: there who are the third guy they'd rather have out

1360
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 4: there rather than the first guy they'd rather have out there,

1361
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 4: then you might have to start worrying because then you

1362
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 4: have guys jumping out of their lanes, missing their run

1363
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 4: fits and you snap off big runs. But yeah, they won't.

1364
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 4: You don't worry about the size differential so much production wise,

1365
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 4: It's more about durability. So you know, if you put

1366
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 4: these guys out there and all of a sudden they

1367
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,839
Speaker 4: end up they got a tweaked muscle or sore shoulder

1368
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 4: or whatever. Yeah, that's what you worry about.

1369
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 3: It is Thursday, and that is the Football Relationship Hotline,

1370

01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 3: predicament for anybody that is not in the Buffalo viewing

1386
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 3: area because in the Buffalo area, the game will be

1387
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 3: aired on WKBW channel seven, because that is the prerequisite

1388
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 3: for the home viewing area.

1389
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 4: That's the It's not it's ABC. Yeah, yeah, ABC Monday

1390
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 4: Night Football's ABC ESPN. That's that's who's got the game,

1391
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,759
Speaker 4: So you're gonna have to fund. But in the Buffalo area,

1392
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:24,480
Speaker 4: it'll be over the airwaves.

1393
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 3: That's that's why, by by law, by rule, it has

1394
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 3: to be on and over the air channel. So they

1395
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 3: put it on an ABC affiliate here in Buffalo. That

1396
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 3: will not be the case in Rochester because they're not

1397
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 3: in the viewing area. They only have ESPN to choose from.

1398
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 3: So they need an alternative solution. So your alternatives are

1399
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 3: direct TV and get a subscription for that.

1400
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:50,560
Speaker 4: Your other alternative FiOS is kind of stuff.

1401
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: Or.

1402
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 3: Hopefully it got a buddy in Buffalo and drive to

1403
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 3: Buffalo and watch the game with them.

1404
01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's your other opportunity.

1405
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a tricky situation for sure, and there are.

1406
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 8: No great I say what I get out ahead of

1407
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,600
Speaker 8: it now. The other thing you can check, don't just

1408
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 8: wait till game day. The other thing you can check too, Oh,

1409
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 8: Rochester is okay.

1410
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 4: Rochester is going to be over the air waves as well.

1411
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 3: Oh all right, so they'll they'll get it over the

1412
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 3: air programming as well. I believe I anyone want to say,

1413
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm Jay just yeah, so wham, I guess I think

1414
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 3: they're the ABC affiliate out there, so they would have Okay,

1415
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 3: it's on the national ABC schedule to get it over ABC.

1416
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,599
Speaker 3: That's right, all right, So there are ways to get

1417
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,839
Speaker 3: the game, so fear not, you will have an answer

1418
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 3: on how to view the game. The other option too

1419
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 3: is NFL Plus. They have a premium subscription there where

1420
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 3: you can get live in market games, especially if you're

1421
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 3: traveling and you want to watch something on your laptop

1422
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,600

1447
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 6: Have you.

1448
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 21: Because of your similar body types. Have you learned much

1449
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 21: from him or I've tried to pick his brain. He's

1450
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:18,759
Speaker 21: a veteran guy.

1451
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd say, honestly, everybody in our room I learned from.

1452
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 7: Whether it's Tim, I learned things from Ed the way

1453
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 7: he hits to be gat and just the way he

1454
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 7: just goes, and just his orientation on a down to

1455
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 7: down basis. I learned from all the guys, no matter

1456
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 7: who it is. So, I mean, it's great to be

1457
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 7: in a room full of such great dudes and just

1458
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 7: great players.

1459
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:37,680
Speaker 6: So I learned from everybody out there.

1460
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 21: Honestly, He's a tall guy who sets the ed in

1461
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 21: his career, sets the edge well.

1462
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 12: I mean, obviously you set the edge well.

1463
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 14: Too.

1464
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 21: What is there anything you talk to him about that

1465
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 21: about using his leverage against Irun or what do you

1466
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 21: think of that?

1467
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd say I'd say we all talk.

1468
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 7: We all like kind of bounce ideas off each other's

1469
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 7: heads and kind of like we see how the other

1470
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 7: person does things and how that can help us with

1471
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 7: our own game.

1472
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 12: I talked about six of the year, what you've seen.

1473
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 2: You understand what you're.

1474
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:10,759
Speaker 6: Seeing here yourself?

1475
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 12: You said you can't.

1476
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 6: It's the thing that you're reading through getting your game.

1477
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 12: It's the mental part of the few.

1478
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, big time.

1479
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 7: Going into year three, I feel like I've seen a

1480
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 7: lot more, gotten a lot smarter year to year, and

1481
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 7: I feel like I only get better because when you're

1482
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 7: out there, you're always learning. You know, when you're out there,

1483
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 7: you go through things in the game, whether it's pastor

1484
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 7: us or run stuff, you kind of just say like

1485
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 7: this worked or this didn't work.

1486
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 6: So it's kind of like with every game you get

1487
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 6: better and better.

1488
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 20: You have a couple of new faces on the defense

1489
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 20: and Leonard boy, But where do you feel like you

1490
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 20: guys should have thrown as a group since you've been

1491
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 20: through an entire offseason, how few days.

1492
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 7: I feel like we've grown a lot, and it's kind

1493
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 7: of like our our second year together with that group,

1494
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 7: with that core of like DQ TIM like dudes who

1495
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 7: came back on obviously, So I feel like we're only

1496
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 7: getting closer. Last year was cool, but last year we're

1497
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 7: kind of still trying to get to know each other

1498
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 7: because it was our first year all playing together. But

1499
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 7: now it's like we kind of know the way that

1500
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 7: the other person does things. So I feel like our

1501
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 7: chemistry has been building up.

1502
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 18: Do you feel like that's.

1503
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 12: Gonna benefit guys?

1504
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 20: Kind of straight wise here on Monday night.

1505
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 6: I feel like he benefits a lot.

1506
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 7: You know a lot about a lot of playing D

1507
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 7: line is about just being coordinated and knowing like I'm

1508
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 7: next to this person, or I'm playing next to Eddie

1509
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 7: likes to play this.

1510
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 6: I'm playing next to Daikwan Jones. He plays he plays

1511
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 6: like this.

1512
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 7: So just knowing like who you're next to could really

1513
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 7: help push your game to the next level because everything

1514
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 7: you're doing is happening faster because you understand who you're

1515
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 7: playing next to.

1516
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 5: Like you got a.

1517
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 18: Shot at different practice last year, I think, yeah, right, okay,

1518
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 18: So I mean you've seen Rogers right, all being able

1519
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,680
Speaker 18: to different team now, But I mean you're familiar with

1520
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 18: his career, you've played against him. Now, what are you

1521
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 18: gonna take into Monday night as aafters.

1522
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 6: I mean, he's a starting NFL quarterback. Obviously, he's Aaron Rodgers.

1523
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 6: He's been playing football since I could remember. So he's

1524
01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 6: just won.

1525
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 7: He's one of those guys, one of the better quarterbacks league,

1526
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 7: and we're all excited for the challenge because he had.

1527
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 18: Lives and those things. I mean, if you pay more

1528
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 18: attention to technique or is there a fundamental I mean,

1529
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 18: you're always fundamentally sound like if you alter your approaching

1530
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 18: anywhere when you're going against a guy with maybe he's

1531
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 18: that libability and.

1532
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 6: That experience, Nah, I'd say not really.

1533
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 7: I try to like focus on us because I feel

1534
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 7: like if you get too caught up in the opponent,

1535
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 7: you're not focusing on maximizing your potential and how and

1536
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 7: how well you could execute out there in the field. Obviously,

1537
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,719
Speaker 7: you got to be locked into different quarterbacks and different tennessees,

1538
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,640

1539
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 7: not the Rocks because we play a different quarterback every

1540

1541
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 7: you're going against, you're not going to be focused on

1542
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,560

Speaker 22: owing the defensive plays and how does that impact you

1549
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,880

Speaker 18: tough time as a defense. I mean they're a very

1615

1637
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 24: For us, there's a couple, but the biggest one that

1638
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 24: I like and that we came up with was be

1639
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 24: present in the moment.

1640
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 6: You know.

1641
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 24: I feel like a lot of us think a lot

1642
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 24: in the past or in the think about the future.

1643
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 24: But just be where your feet are at each and

1644
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 24: every step. Just be where you're at in that moment.

1645
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 24: I feel like it's the biggest thing. I feel like

1646
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 24: a lot of people get caught up and thinking ahead

1647
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 24: or thinking about, you know, what they could have done,

1648
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 24: you know, from the past, So just being where your

1649
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 24: feet are at is the biggest thing.

1650
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 20: Being a first time captain, how has it been to

1651
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,000

1657
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 24: room with me, a lot of respected players, and how

1658
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 24: I can be in the same room conversating about the

1659
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 24: same things, how my opinion matters and the way I

1660
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 24: think and they trust me with that.

1661
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,760

1665
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,680
Speaker 23: the focus. You could see the confidence from your perspective.

1666
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 23: Play with them now a bunch of years. What's been

1732
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 25: day was not ideal, But uh, like I said, did

01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 24: Last year.

1736
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 6: Uh, well, I guess. I guess I was in there.

1737
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 25: Talking ball and and kind of going over the game plans,

1738
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 25: but to be on the field the walkthroughs to be

1739
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 25: a part of them, being more detailed within the play calls,

1740
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 25: talking to the the guys around me on how you

1741
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,640
Speaker 25: know we see different formations, different plays.

1742
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 6: And and stuff like that.

1743
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 25: So, uh, that's that's definitely what I what I missed

1744
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 25: within the practice and the everyday meetings and stuff like that.

1745
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 11: You've been you know, rogers help you in your deparations,

1746
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 11: knowing the way you do.

1747
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 6: I don't think it makes it any easier. He's just

1748
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:57,799
Speaker 6: he's a great quarterback.

1749
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 25: Obviously, you know, history it shows what he's been able

1750
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 25: to do, and you know he's he's he's went up

1751
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 25: to UH to New York, and I got a lot

1752
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 25: of confidence that team is very confident. They gotta they

1753
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 25: got a you know, Hall of Fame quarterback and they

1754
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 25: got a lot of weapons around him, So you know

1755
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:14,680
Speaker 25: it's gonna be it's gonna be a tough talent for

1756
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 25: us and me knowing him from from the past, you know,

1757
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 25: obviously he doesn't make it any easier, but you know,

1758
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 25: I think we got a pretty good football team also

1759
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 25: well makes Oh he's he's he's quick, super quick, got

1760
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 25: a little speed to him, young guy. And you know

1761
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 25: I was, I was watching him from the sideline last year.

1762
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 25: I was really impressive of how he's able to create space.

1763
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 25: He's a little twitchy, he can get open. So you know,

1764
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 25: definitely for for years to come, he's gonna be one

1765
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 25: of one of the best best seas in the league.

1766
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,560
Speaker 2: Ben. Any communication with Aaron this week, No, no, no, no,

1767
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 2: nothing like that.

1768
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 25: You know, I think that it's a week one in

1769
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 25: a long offseason, you know, getting prepared for Obviously when

1770
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 25: the schedule drop, knew this game was coming up, Newton

1771
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,519
Speaker 25: saw he signed there, all that type of stuff, and

1772
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 25: uh yeah, No, communication might be a look or two

1773
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 25: when the when we get out on the field, but

1774
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 25: you know, they were both competitors, so I'm sure, uh

1775
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 25: maybe maybe a conversation after game or something.

1776
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 3: Remember, all right, that's Michael hid who said he feels good,

1777
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 3: did a little more in practice today than he did yesterday. Steve,

1778
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,679
Speaker 3: and knowing he's got an extra day before the Monday

1779
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,679
Speaker 3: night game, it sounds as though he anticipates being ready

1780
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 3: to play.

1781
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Monday Night is you know, you get a

1782
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 4: little bit of a benefit, you get an extra day,

1783
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 4: you get a little time off, and and I don't.

1784
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 4: And obviously his injury was not threatening in that way,

1785
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 4: you know, for a long extended time. So yeah, I'm

1786
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:50,120
Speaker 4: you try and go. You just got to go, man,

1787

Speaker 4: everybody wants to play. I mean good greet To try

1788
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 4: and hold him back, they had to put Vaughan on

01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,760
Speaker 4: I on the pup list before he wouldn't play. So

1790
01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:59,080
