33
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: Bills and Bills practice updates are presented by Lee Coom,

34
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Steve, it's pretty good

35
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: so far. Dan Jackson not participating today second straight day

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: due to a foot injury, and then Dion Dawkins not

37
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: practicing today due for a personal reason, nothing injury related,

38
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: so he was excused from practice today. I would anticipate,

39
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: if all goes well with handling the personal matters, that

40
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: you'll be back at practice tomorrow, so that means all

41
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: the other players on the injury report are practicing. We

42
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: didn't get an update on whether or not Dalton Kincate

43
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: is out of the concussion protocol. You can still practice

44
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: and be in the protocol, So hopefully we get some

45
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: clarity on that tomorrow, and hopefully you can get out

46
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: of the protocol and be eligible for the game on Sunday.

47
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Steve, but I thought the

48
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: Bills injury report was bad. You take a look at

49
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: the Giants injury report. Holy mackerel man, they've got let

50
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: me count them up, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

51
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: eleven twelve, fourteen players. That's the roster, fourteen players. Yeah,

52
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: and it's not like it's nobody. We're talking starting quarterback,

53
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: starting running back, starting inside linebacker, starting pass rusher, one

54
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: of their top three wide receivers, starting centers, starting left tackle,

55
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: starting tight end.

56
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: I mean, wow, wow, Yeah.

57
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: They've gotten hit more on offense while the Bills have

58
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: gotten hit more on defense.

59
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: Right, So still you're gonna get their best swing and

60
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: at the Giants are struggling, and I'll say they're they're

61
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: gonna be desperate. Brian Tables is gonna pull out all

62
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: the spot stops. You and I said yesterday, I mean

63
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 4: they've gotten they are, there's nothing for them to lose.

64
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 4: You're talking fake punts, fake field goals, all of that stuff,

65
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: the double reverse pass, the double pass, all that stuff,

66
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 4: flea flicker, hook and lateral, all that stuff. But you

67
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: still gotta you still gotta play. The Bills are the

68
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 4: better team both in the record wise and on paper,

69
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 4: even by the looks of the injury report health wise,

70
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: although the Bills have lost some key like four key people.

71
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is one of those games. It's

72
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: week week six.

73
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: You gotta go play. You gotta play, and you gotta

74
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 4: play well. Don't think like the Giants.

75
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: Don't. Bills fans shouldn't think like, well, you're gonna.

76
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 4: Take care of business this week and you're gonna get Listen,

77
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: you gotta play right that that does not fly, So

78
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 4: don't fall into that trap.

79
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 2: Don't have too many updates from Giants practice yet today.

80
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: The one that we do have is that Daniel Jones

81
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: is not practicing for a second straight day with the

82
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: neck injury he suffered in last week's game against Miami,

83
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: thereby increasing the likelihood that the Bills could see none

84
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: other than Tyrod Taylor at quarterback on Sunday. He came

85
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: on in relief for Daniel Jones last week against Miami.

86
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: I think he went like nine to twelve passing for

87
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: ninety one yards, so it got sacked once. So it's good.

88
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: Tomorrow's injury report for the Giants is going to be

89
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: mu in Tarisante to see what his status is for

90
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: the game. I mean, if he doesn't practice again tomorrow,

91
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: I would think he'd have to be listed as doubtful.

92
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 2: I mean, you can give him a questionable listening listing,

93
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: but that would seem dubious in my eyes. But we'll

94
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: have to see where it goes. Yeah, but the Football

00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: I do have to say, Steve uh there was an

102
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: interesting one that we saw in response while we were

103
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: in the studio, or I should say in our office

104
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier today, and I'm going to try

105
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: to pull it up here real quick because I think

106
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 2: it's it's worth responding to. It seems like this man's

107
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: got a bit of a crisis with his with his

108
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: significant other. He is a native of Rochester.

109
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: Steve, Okay, right, it's on It might be in the

110
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 3: tweet sheet.

111
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so he's This is from Pat Man, who

112
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: says won't get the chance to call into the hotline today,

113
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: but wanted tips on how to convert my wife, a

114
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: Giants fan to become a Bills fan. We are both

115
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: born and raised in Rochester, but her dad is a

116
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: big Giants fan and she doesn't even like her dad.

117
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: So okay, all right, laid out for a Steve, Well,

118
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 4: be that as it may. Here's what you do, and

119
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: here's my advice to having somebody in your family who's

120
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: a different fan of a different team, particularly in this

121
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: instance where it was kind of handed down to it.

122
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: It's a tough spot because depending on you know how

123
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: it works, they may have been from birth, you know,

124
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 4: from crib to death.

125
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: In this fan.

126
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: You got to take them to the stadium and get

127
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: them acclimated and get them into what's going on with

128
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: this team. You got to get them to the point

129
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: where they associate the new team, which in this case

130
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: it's the Bills with great stuff, positive things in their life,

131
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: great experiences, great people, fun at the games, all of

132
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: that stuff. You got to get her to the games

133
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: and you got to let her experience the fun it

134
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: is to be part of the Bills mafia, and that

135
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: would over.

136
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna take time time. You gotta win her over.

137
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: And of course, then again, if you have kids, they

138
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 4: they've got to be on the side your side, not

139
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: not the other side.

140
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say that. I think the other thing

141
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: you have to consider here is that and I know

142
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: the father relationship isn't great by your description, but it's

143
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: about Western New York man, you're born and raised in

144
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: Western New York. That you've got to appeal to her roots.

145
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: So it's it's I think you can go that route

146
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: and appeal to her Western New York roots and just say, hey,

147
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 2: here's the situation. You're born and raised in Rochester. Western

148
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: New York only has one team, it's the Buffalo Bills,

149
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: and that's the route you go. That is the route

150
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: you go, and see if you can appeal to her

151
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: that way.

152
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, you sit.

153
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: And Plus, if you're living in western New York, it's

154
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 4: it's an easy out, just saying, listen, your life becomes

155
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: a lot easier on during football season when you're part

156
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: of the crew. You know, there's no reason to rock

157
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: the boat every single weekend when you're cheering for some

158
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 4: other lesser team, right, you know it's.

159
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: Your right though, if you're living here and you grew

160
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: up here, it's part of your heritage. You can't you can't. Yeah,

161
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: don't go against that. Yeah, you've got to.

162
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: You've got to use all pull out all the stops

163
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: and put a full court press on. Also solicit some

164
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: help from other family members.

165
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 2: So that I think that's your best bet. And as

166
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: we said, like have Bill's mafia kind of wrap their

167
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: arms around her, you know what I mean, Like, you know,

168
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: this fan base can turn out and recruit people like

169
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 2: nobody's business. So if you've got her on the fence,

170
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: that's the way to kind of close the deal.

171
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it would be great too.

172
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: And I mean, seeing as how she's your spouse and stuff,

173
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: get her in with the you know, the mafia babes

174
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 4: or you know, with other ladies who are kind of

175
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: like fit her description, you know, that are just like her,

176
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 4: that she can make friends with, and that that's a

177
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 4: nice place too, because there's you know, of course, Bill's

178
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 4: Mafia spends every age, every demographic, every socioeconomic and they're

179
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 4: all you know, So fin seek out some people that

180
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: are a lot like your wife, who are Bills fans

181
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 4: and let them jump in on it and uh and

182
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: recruiter as well.

183
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 2: Right, So that's our that's our best advice for you.

184
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: Aight oh three oh five fifty one eight eight eight

185
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty the number to call. We've

186
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: got another one here from me, Bang Drum. I work

187
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: the third shift and the week starts up Sunday night.

188
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: The Bills have gotten so good that I can't watch

189
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: them play anymore. Yeah, because they're all they're playing night

190
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: games all the time. I understand the issue here. Yeah,

191
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 2: so you're working, you know, if you're working third shift,

192
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: maybe you're on the line. I don't know what you're

193
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: the nature of your job is, but I'm assuming you're

194
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: not in a position to even watch a game on

195
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: your phone. There is the option, you know, of putting

196
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: the phone in your pocket. And I don't know if

197
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: this is permissible, but just putting an ear piece, you know, earbuds,

198
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: ear buds in your ear and maybe you work in

199
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: a factory that's so loud that maybe even that's difficult.

200
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: You're doing and you've got you know, So I'm not

201
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: going to pretend to know your situation, but I will

202
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: say that your your options are limited. I don't think

203
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: there's any question about that. That's tough. It's a tough one.

204
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 3: Four out of and he's right.

205
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: Four out of the next five games for Buffalo at

206
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: eight fifteen, eight twenty at night, the only New England

207
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: at New England. Next week's the one o'clock game, then

208
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: it's eight to fifteen Tampa eight twenty, Cincinnati eight to

209
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: fifteen the Broncos, and then of course the three four

210
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: four in a row four to twenty five games, and

211
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 4: then it's another eight PM game.

212
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: So I mean, yeah, everybody wants to watch this team play.

213
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: They do.

214
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 4: Four out of the next game five games are in primetime,

215
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 4: and then the next four after that are four four

216
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 4: twenty five, which is the absolute monster window of the

217
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 4: weekend in football. So you're right, the Bills are really good.

218
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 4: And if you're if you're used to watching them at

219
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: one o'clock on Sunday because your work allows you to,

220
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: because now you gotta work at the nights in the prime,

221
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: you're Yeah, you're either you're gonna have to surreptitiously listen.

222
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: Or you're gonna have to go without. That's a tough

223
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 3: one because the bill, they're too good. They're too good.

224
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 4: Four out of that, I didn't say it. Four out

225
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 4: of the next five are a primetime games. That's pretty good.

226
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: That's pretty amazing, and that isn't that's a unique problem

227
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: for third shift guy.

228
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I guess, dude, man, I don't know. I mean,

229
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: I guess. I don't know what kind of access you

230
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: have to your phone. I don't know how loud it is, I.

231
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: Don't know what kind of workplace you work in.

232
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: But you know, you gotta like throw it out, you know,

233
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: to the powers that be about you, say hey, what

234
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: are we gonna do about this? You know, you got

235
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 4: to help us all because.

236
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: It can't be just you, right, But the other thing,

237
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: like yourself.

238
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and here's the other thing. I know, you know,

239
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: working third shift, if he's got a blue collar job

240
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: and he's on the line. Safety is like the number

241
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: one concern. You don't want workers distracted looking at a

242
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: TV screen or listening to you know what I mean.

243
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: So I get so he's really he might be in

244
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: a really tough spot. So it's unfortunate. Yeah, it's not

245
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: good in terms of having great solutions for you. But

246
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: see what's possible, I guess in your workplace without violating

247
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: your safety.

248
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to throw it out there in a

249
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 4: good natured way about how you know, how's the company

250
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: going to take care of you guys, and let you

251
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 4: watch the game. We'll see that's the best way. But

252
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: Brownie's right, don't don't do anything dangerous.

253
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: So best of luck. I wish I had a better

254
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: solution for you. I feel like we failed him, I

255
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: really do. I feel bad. We got one more here

256
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: before we take a break, and it's from John who says,

257
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: anyone know how the pastor made out last week with

258
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: his church service. We did not get an update on that.

259
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: I'd be I'd be very curious to see he he was.

260
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: He sent a message in last week basically saying he's

261
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: in charge of presenting church service.

262
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: He's worship leader of the worship band.

263
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like, so he had a tough spot.

264
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: We kind of told him, see if you can switch

265
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: service times, maybe that's an option for you. Otherwise you

266
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: got DVR the game, don't talk to.

267
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: Anybody to court yourself though. You know that's coming up.

268
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: You gotta you kind of gotta get out ahead of it.

269
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: That was That was a scheduling snap who on his part,

270
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 4: right mistake.

271
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to the phones at eight oh three

275
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

276
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: Hey, my wife has never been a big football fan

277
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 5: until Matt Malonald came along. And I am I've never

278
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 5: been happier to have my wife attracted to an man.

279
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 5: She likes watching football. Now she thinks he is smoking hot.

280
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: Okay, well, hopefully her fandom hasn't waned in light of

281
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: Matt's injury.

282
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 5: Oh no, she still loves them.

283
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Well that's good. I mean, look, you've got to

284
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: take whatever avenue you can to secure your football viewing

285
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: habits and making them a priority this time of year.

286
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: So if she likes Matt Milano, we're all about Matt Milano, right,

287
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: I mean, take.

288
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 5: Full advantage, yep, I will all.

289
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: Right, Well, I'm glad it worked out for you. Whatever,

290
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: by whatever means necessary, you can achieve your football viewing pleasure,

291
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: you do it. So if there is something that maybe

292
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: your wife isn't a super all into a football fan,

293
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: but there's an element of football that she likes, in

294
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: this case, Matt Milano, you ride that to the hilt, like,

295
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: take a full advantage of that stuff, full advantage at

296
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: all times, and off you go. So, yeah, I'm glad

297
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: it worked for you. Shane Smart, move too.

298
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: I'm little, you know.

299
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: I guess we've got Jay who sends in the following.

300
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: Foresight is a huge part of fandom and setting expectations

301
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: with your spouse. She planned my daughter's baptism around the

302
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: Giants night game. Bummed, we can't make the trip to

303
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: Orchard Park, but the plan is to have a bunch

304
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: of people over after the game after to watch the

305
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: game at my house. Planned my daughter's baptism around the

306
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: Giants night game. Well, so you can't go to the game,

307
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: but you can watch the game.

308
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: So that's that's good though. Oh, that's good.

309
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: You're in fact, it's a watch party, which is a

310
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: lot of fun too, so that's that's kind of a

311
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: plus plus good.

312
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: Good on the wife.

313
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: Now, you got to give her some credit to and

314
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt

315
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 4: saying she was all over this. The Giants are not

316
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 4: are struggling. It's not you know, if they were five

317
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: and oh, if the Giants are coming in here five

318
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: and oh my point, my assertion would be that your

319
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 4: wife would never missed the game either if she's a

320
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: Giants fan. So she's probably ducking the fact that she

321
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 4: had to go to a Bills game and watch them

322
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 4: and thinking the Bills are going to roll on this team,

323
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So kudos to her for

324
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: planning it around what could be an uncomfortable night. So yeah,

325
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: good for you though, you got a good one there.

326
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: That's she planned it around it and invited some people

327
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: over let's watch the game, and it's all after the

328
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 4: important thing, the baptism.

329
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: So that's good.

330
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: And you'd be wise to let everyone know at said

331
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: watch party that it was made possible by your significant others.

332
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 4: See, yeah, how you get more points? Yeah, that's uh,

333
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 4: that's always a plus for this thing. You always it's

334
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 4: about what they did. It's not you making them do anything.

335
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: It's they did it. It's their fandom. It's yeah, you

336
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 4: gotta let them, let them own it.

337
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 2: Let's go to Steve and Amhurst. What do you got

338
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: for a Steve?

339
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, thank you for taking my car. I just

340
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 6: wanted to give hope to some of these people calling in.

341
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 6: For for many years, I was kind of having to

342
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 6: make excuses why I couldn't go to things, you know, weddings,

343
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 6: people who did Sunday weddings, birthday parties. I have plenty

344
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 6: of nieces and nephews. But now I'm in the position

345
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 6: with my family where my sister will send out a

346
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 6: text saying, hey, I'm doing a birthday party for you know,

347
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 6: my son. We hope you can all make it speap.

348
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 6: You can't come because it's during the Bills game, you know.

349
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 6: So it's it's just over time. People have now accepted

350
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 6: it with me that I cannot come to game or

351
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 6: come during game times. I cannot go do weddings on Sundays,

352
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 6: I cannot do anything during game time, and it's it's

353
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 6: been something where I've had to wear my family down

354
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 6: to where they just have to accept it that I'm

355
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 6: not going to be there if there's a Bills game,

356
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 6: and I just want to give people hope that once

357
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 6: they accept it, it's a beautiful thing. So that's all

358
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 6: I have to say. But you guys are fantastic at

359
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 6: what you do, and thanks for keeping us engaged all week.

360
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 6: I very much appreciate it.

361
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: Thanks Stave. I got to give him a lot of credit.

362
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: That's right.

363
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: That's a tough sell that. Yeah, that's a tough edict

364
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: to lay down. Yeah, but he literally wore down his family.

365
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: His family where.

366
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 3: I get And I'll say this though, too.

367
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: Once you start doing it and you say and you listen,

368
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be there if it's on a Bill's

369
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: game day and you throw it out there and then

370
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 4: you back it up, even for like a couple of

371
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: birthday parties or even a friend's wedding or whatever, I'm

372
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 4: not going.

373
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: I'm not doing it. And they get the main way serious.

374
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 4: So if they want you at least to give you

375
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: this when they do, schedule it off on an off

376
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 4: day so you can make it. You really got to

377
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 4: show up because they made that effort. And it lets

378
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 4: you know too, they really do want you there. If

379
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 4: they start scheduling stuff deliberately on game days so you

380
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 4: won't be there, then you gotta worry, right, you gotta worry.

381
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 4: But now it's true, though, if you throw it out

382
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 4: there and say, listen, if there's anything scheduled on a

383
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 4: Bill's game day, I am not gonna make it because

384
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 4: I'm I've got a thing that I do and I'm

385
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 4: doing it. So there when you put it out there

386
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 4: way ahead, and then when the schedule comes out and

387
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: then people are like, oh, well we got this thing,

388
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: Well sorry, I'm done.

389
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: I can't do it. That's that's pretty courageous. That's pretty courageous.

390
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: Let's just hold you.

391
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 3: Let's face it, there's some some stuff that none.

392
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Of us want to miss, right, And I gotta tell

393
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: you that's I just hope that you know it's it's

394
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: a he's got a very understanding family. I'm just gonna

395
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: say that. So he said, Steve, you're a brave man,

396
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: but you made it work for you and warm them down.

397
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: I guess you get credit for that. My goodness. Uh

398
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: We've got to take a break here because when we

399

410
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 2: Insider and fantasy football expert Field Yates. Field, good to

411
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: see you week six. We're already rolling through this season,

412
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 2: and I gotta say, like, you know the lineups, We

413
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: know the ebbs and flows every week. It's an interesting

414
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: lineup here because now we're getting into an area where

415
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 2: injuries start to crop up a little bit more and

416
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: you got to get a little bit more create and

417
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: maybe you got some names that people have never heard of,

418
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: and we'll get to that in a second, but we'll start,

419
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: as always with the quarterback position here field and maybe

420
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: just lay that one out for us.

421
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, expect a lot of Vikings Bears players forthcoming as

422
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 7: we unveil this lineup, and that starts with Kirk Cousins.

423
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 7: Because price at eight thousand dollars, the Bears have allowed

424
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 7: more fantasy points per games to opposing quarterbacks than any.

425
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 8: Other team in the NFL.

426
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 7: So far this season, We've seen quarterbacks who have otherwise

427
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 7: struggled have really really good games. Heck, Sam Howell was

428
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 7: struggling through the first half of last Thursday Night's game

429
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 7: for the Bears and Commanders and then had over three

430
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 7: hundred passing yards in the second half alone. So Kirk Cousins,

431
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 7: in a good matchup, who leads the NFL and passing

432
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 7: attempts already this season is my quarterback. And you're trying

433
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 7: to triple the price that you pay for a player

434
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 7: eight thousand dollars of the salary. I think twenty four

435
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 7: fantasy points is very viable for Cousins, who's already up

436
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 7: to a close to twenty one so far this season.

437
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when we get into this part of the season,

438
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 4: You're right, some of these teams emerge as fantasy kind

439
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: of fantasy football gold mines. And that's this Minnesota Chicago

440
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 4: matchup seems to be at You're running back Roshan Johnson

441
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 4: the first one.

442
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 7: Yes, so for the Bears. Obviously got to keep in

443
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 7: mind that he is still in the concussion protocol as

444
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 7: of this conversation, but Khalil Herbert will not play. If

445
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 7: Roshan Johnson can clear concussion protocol by Sunday, then he

446
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 7: would be the starting running bag. He's got plenty of talent,

447
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 7: the fourth round pick out of Texas, he was the

448
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 7: backup to Jon Robinson down there in Austin. That's really

449
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 7: nothing that you can hold against him, right, and Robinson

450
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 7: has been unbelievable already as a rookie in Atlanta. So

451
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 7: Rochean Johnson m RB one if he plays. If he doesn't,

452
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 7: you have the opportunity to pivot for that fifty eight

453
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 7: hundred dollars that he would costume. And my second running

454
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 7: back is not a name that I think anybody listening

455
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 7: to this program or watching this program right now had

456
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 7: thought a whole lot about until this past weekend. That's

457
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 7: Amari de Marcado, who could be the new Cardinals starting

458
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 7: running back for the next four weeks. He replaces James Connor,

459
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,239
Speaker 7: who's been sent to IR It'll be a little bit

460
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 7: of excuse me, Amri de Marcado, and also Keante Ingram.

461
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 7: Maybe some Corey clements in this backfield for Arizona. But

462
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 7: at this price point under six thousand dollars each of

463
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 7: my running backs, you know, the opportunity costs is just

464
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 7: too good to ignore. The Rams have allowed just to

465
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 7: running back touchdowns so far this season on the ground,

466
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 7: so it may not be a massive day for Demarcado,

467
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 7: but you're not paying a massive price at all for him.

468
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 2: Let's move on to wide receiver, and as you said earlier,

469
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: you've dipped back into the Vikings Bears game.

470
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 8: Let's do it.

471
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 7: Jordan Addison, the first round pick for the Vikings, has

472
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 7: been sharp so far this season, but he's been the

473
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 7: clear cut number three receiver in minutes, justin Jefferson, of course,

474
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 7: Number one. Number two has been kJ Osborne, Number three

475
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 7: has been Jordan Addison. Well, he'll move up a peg

476
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 7: to number two, maybe even number one, starting this weekend.

477
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 7: And as I mentioned, opposing quarterbacks have fared very well

478
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 7: against that Bear secondary, in part because they have a

479
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 7: very very limited cornerback room. Addison should stand a benefit

480
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 7: on Sunday, excuse me, in a game in which both

481
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 7: teams really need to win if they want any chance

482
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 7: of sticking around in that NFC North Division. Other wide

483
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 7: receivers for this week include Calvin Ridley, Jaguars wide receiver

484
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 7: price at seven thousand dollars. Obviously had a better day

485
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 7: last week in London than he has for quite some time.

486
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 7: The talent is certainly obvious there. Indianapoli is another inexperienced

487
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 7: young cornerback room. Ridley should be a high volume player

488
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 7: for Jacksonville again on Sunday. And then finally, Garrett Wilson,

489
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 7: And as I'm sure you guys recall, last year Philadelphia

490
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 7: had just remarkable, remarkable production their secondary. This year's been

491
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 7: a different story. Teams have been able to throw the

492
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 7: football a lot against Philadelphia and successfully or actually thirty

493
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 7: first in terms of Fantasy points per game allowed to

494
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 7: opposing wide receivers. So Garrett Wilson, even with Zach Wilson's limitations,

495
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 7: should have a pretty good day on Sunday. He's priced

496
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 7: at sixty nine hundred dollars for this week.

497
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you go back to the Minnesota Vikings

498
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 4: and take TJ. Hockinson your tight end sixty seven hundred bucks.

499
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 4: Give us a little synopsis of his season.

500
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's been okay so far this year, but after

501
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 7: that trade last year from Detroit to Minnesota, he just

502
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 7: became a excuse me, a target monster for that offense.

503
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 7: He has just been so busy for Minnesota since that acquisition.

504
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 7: And price at sixty seven hundred dollars, there's actually a

505
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 7: pretty good price for the player who's been the second

506
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 7: or third best tight end at worst in fantasy football

507
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 7: this season. If you're gonna have Travis Kelce in your lineup,

508
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 7: which you won't because he's playing tonight Thursday, but if

509
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 7: he was playing during the Sunday Slave Sunday one pm

510
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 7: and on Slate, I should note, then you would be

511
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 7: paying a much stiffer price than Hawkinson, who's priced just

512
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 7: sixty seven hundred dollars.

513
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's flex things out here, and you're going

514
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: with a guy that's looking to get more volume as

515
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: one of his running mates is out of the lineup

516
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: and on IR for the foreseeable future.

517
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 7: That's right, that's excuse me. Devon Chen has gone to IR,

518
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 7: which means Raheem Moster right back into the number one

519
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 7: running back role for Miami, and early on in the

520
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 7: season before n had his breakout, Moster was the highest

521
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 7: scoring running back in all of fantasy football. He got

522
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 7: seven rushing touchdowns so far this season, certainly on track

523
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 7: for a career year down there in Miami. Will see

524
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 7: how much he plays as Chan eventually gets back into

525
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 7: the lineup. And yes, Jeff Wilson Junior is eligible to

526
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 7: play on Sunday for the Dolphins as well. But most

527
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 7: has just been absolutely terrific. You guys know that Miami

528
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 7: team is predicated upon speed. Other than a couple of

529
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 7: games this season, Buffalo of course being one of them,

530
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 7: Miami has just run right past, through around opposing defenses.

531
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 7: And they play the winless Panthers this weekend, so would

532
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 7: not surprise me at all if Miami cruises he had

533
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 7: another victory.

534
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: And of course to throw in the defensive defensive team

535
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 4: of the week, Los Angeles Las Vegas Raiders play against

536
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: the New England Patriots, who have really struggled offensively. This

537
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: is all about the matchup totally.

538
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 7: This Patriots defense, as I'm seeching, this Patriots offense has

539
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 7: completely lost its way. I mean, over the past couple

540
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 7: of games, they've actually scored more points for the opposing

541
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 7: teams than they have their own team. They had two

542
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 7: defensive touchdowns by the Cowboys two weeks ago, another defensive

543
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 7: touchdown last week for the Saints. Completely lost their way

544
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 7: right now. And I don't know where the Patriots find

545
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 7: answers other than maybe trying to keep things really simple

546
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 7: and run the ball until you know the game is over.

547
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 7: But I'm not sure that's going to.

548
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 8: Be easy to do week in and week out.

549
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 7: And this Raiders team, you know, with a one man

550
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 7: game wrecker and Max Crosby, can certainly generate pressure upon

551
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 7: any offensive line. But this Patriots offensive line that's really

552
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 7: struggled so far this season in protection Mac Jones, who

553
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 7: has been so so bad so far this year, seems

554
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 7: like the perfect matchup to pay a reasonable price at

555
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 7: only forty three hundred dollars for your fantasy defense.

556
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: And there's this is also a place where you've got

557
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 4: Josh mcdanie're coming back to in New England. Nobody knows

558
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 4: that offense in New England better than him. They're probably

559
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 4: running the same offense there in Vegas. So if there

560
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: are any keys or secrets to be had or problems

561
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 4: you can emerge, you would think that Josh mcdan you

562
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 4: would have that code, do you not?

563
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

564
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 7: I think that these two teams know each other way

565
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 7: better than teams that don't actually play in the same

566
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 7: division normally. Do I think I saw something somewhere on

567
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 7: Twitter or something like I would say, like twenty members

568
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 7: of the Raiders organization, we're maybe with more than that,

569
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 7: twenty three to twenty four were Patriots within the past

570
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 7: couple of years. I mean between the roster, the front office,

571
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 7: the coaching staff. But Josh McDaniels knows this Patriots office.

572
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 7: As you said, Steve, it's not just the offense, it's

573
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 7: Night Jones specifically and what makes him tick, perhaps what

574
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 7: areas he has struggled with. So I wouldn't be surprised

575
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 7: if I would be surprised if there are surprises on

576
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 7: Sunday between these two teams, because the roster familiarity and

577
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 7: the personnel familiarity should lead to the two teams kind

578
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 7: of having a feel for how to expose the other.

579
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: All right, Piel, we got a couple extra minutes, So

580
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: let's talk Bill's Giants here briefly. Obviously, a lot is

581
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: up in the air as to who's going to take

582
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: the field for the Giants on offense, with Barkley and

583
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: well Daniel Jones not practicing again today according to reports

584
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: out of New York, so that kind of makes it

585
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: difficult to ascertain. Although I wouldn't expect the Giants offense

586
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: to change all that much if Tyrod Taylor goes in

587
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: a quarterback. But that's a team that's just going in

588
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: a bed way right now. Can't get any points on

589
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: the board offensively. They're only touchdown last week comes on

590
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: an interception return. You know, when the Bills are trying

591
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: to get right after a down performance last week? How

592
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: do you kind of see this thing shaken out on

593
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: Sunday night?

594
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 8: Yeah.

595
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 7: The Giant's biggest issue right now is they have just

596
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 7: no offensive linemen that are healthy and playing well. Andrew

597
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 7: Thomas is our best offensive lineman by a long shot.

598
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 7: He was an All Pro last year. He's been hurt

599
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 7: to hamstring injury, which, unless I've missed something, he has

600
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 7: not yet returned to the practice field. From that indicates

601
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 7: he won't be available on Sunday night. The Bills should

602
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 7: be able to generate a ton of pressure on Daniel

603
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 7: Jones if he even plays. Meanwhile, I'm dubious he'll play.

604
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 7: I don't know how many quarterbacks go Wednesday and Thursday

605
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 7: without practice and actually end up playing on Sundays. So

606
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 7: this is one where I expect the Bills to take

607
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 7: care of business and are pretty hand, like pretty handedly

608
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 7: on Sunday night.

609
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 3: I don't know that this.

610
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 7: Was like a trap game. Does Buffalo play New England

611
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 7: the following week.

612
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: Or on Sunday?

613
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 8: Yeah?

614
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's you know, it's not like the Bills

615
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 7: have you know, the Forda nin Ers coming to town

616
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 7: or something like that the week after. So this is

617
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 7: one where Buffalo just needs to take care of business.

618
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 7: It's a Sunday night game, so perhaps the Giants will

619
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 7: be a little bit more spirited. We were just talking

620
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 7: about how Josh McDaniels knows Patriots well. You know, obviously

621
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 7: Brian Daball knows the Giants excuse been those the Bills

622
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 7: very well and Josh Allen very well. But from a

623
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 7: personnel standpoint, I mean, we're talking about men versus boys

624
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 7: out there on Sunday nights, and it would not surprise

625
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 7: me if the Bills lack the Giants.

626
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 9: Not sure.

627
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 7: It's not trying to take any game lightly because it

628
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 7: is the NFL and we've seen things go funky, like

629
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 7: the Cardinals beating the Cowboys earlier this year as any example.

630
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 7: But this Bill's Giants game on paper is fairly lopsided

631
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 7: to me.

632
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 4: Field, good talking to you, Appreciate you, and then we'll

633
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 4: look forward to seeing you next week.

634
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 7: All right, guys, take care and a big one for

635
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 7: the the Sabers kickoff. They dropped the puck tonight y.

636
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Steve will be there.

637
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 7: I'll are getting paid. I hope they hope they cut

638
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 7: you a check as well, Steve, you want you Brownie

639
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 7: as well. Everybody should be getting paid. And you know,

640
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 7: if I see I saw a seven year.

641
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: Was it eight years?

642
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 7: Eighty eight million bucks for one and seven years and

643
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 7: fifty six for the other? I mean, it's a good

644
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 7: time right now to be a Buffalo Bills above Buffalo

645
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 7: Sabers defenseman.

646
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And unfortunately that's not part of my job description,

647
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: so I don't think I'm going to be in that boat.

648
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: But thanks for thanks for stumping Norman Field. We appreciate it.

649
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: Thanks.

650
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: We'll catch up with you next week.

651
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 8: All right, all right, so that's good. Take care yep.

652
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,320

Speaker 2: got a couple of minutes here, so we want to

656
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: jump back to the Football Relationship Hotline where we're solving

657
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: your football viewing habit dilemmas, and we go to Dave

658
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: in wheat Field next, what do you got for his David,

659
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: You're on one Bill's Live. Well.

660
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 10: Actually, the reason I was calling is everybody seems to

661
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 10: be taking this game really lightly, including you guys, and

662
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 10: you know, we're missing our three best players on defense.

663
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 10: And I was never a Tyrod Taylor fan, but I

664
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 10: can I can envision him coming in here and having

665
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 10: the game of his life and putting the hurt on us.

666
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 10: And I'm a little nervous about that. But I did

667
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 10: want to ask you guys opinion. I heard on the

668
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 10: I was listening to the morning show the other day

669
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 10: and they were messing that Josh Allen's quarterback rating when

670
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 10: they do play action is like perfect, It's like one

671
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 10: hundred and fifty six or.

672
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 11: Something like that. And out of forty dropbacks in the

673
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 11: last game, they ran five play action passes. Why are

674
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 11: they not doing more play action and why are they

675
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 11: not doing more motion? The offense seems very vanilla to me,

676
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 11: And I'm not saying that you have to run a

677
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 11: bunch of gadget plays, even though San Francisco, which I

678
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 11: think right now to me is the favorite Super Bowl

679
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 11: favor right now, scored a touchdown on a double fleet

680
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 11: flicker reverse thing the other night. You know, I want

681
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 11: to see a little more versatility out of our offense.

682
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, Dave. Yeah, you're one hundred percent

683
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: right on those play action stats. We actually asked Dan

684
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: Orlovski about it on Tuesday when he makes his weekly

685
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: visit with us. I asked him, Hey, is there anything

686
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: that a defense does that what they would show on

687
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 2: tape that would convince an offensive coordinator to steer away

688
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: from play action? And he really couldn't give us a

689
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: straight answer on that, So I don't know. They obviously

690
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: felt that other things would work better. Against the Jags,

691
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: they moved away from play action and used considerably less

692
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 2: of it last week against Jacksonville. I would anticipate based

693
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: on the results because one of their play action plays

694
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: was the fifty yard pass from Josh in the end

695
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: zone to Stefan Diggs at midfield, which would have gone

696
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 2: for a touchdown if he hit him in stride. Still,

697
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: it's a big pass play, explosive, and it came off

698
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 2: play action. I would expect them to get back to

699
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 2: more of that this week, at least I hope they would.

700
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 2: But why they steered away from it last week in particular,

701
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: I really I don't have a good answer for you.

702
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of the things might be too that in

703
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 4: certain situations I thought Jacksonville, particularly like when they got

704
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 4: into that shotgun that toss sweeping the shotgun and the

705
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 4: Jags blew it up, it was a perfect example of

706
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 4: what Jacksonville was doing. They were attacking the line of scrimmage,

707
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 4: and it seemed to me at times they were getting

708
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 4: quick pressure on Josh even in regular dropbacks. And I

709
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 4: think there might have been a concern that if they

710
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 4: play fake Jacksonville was going to send one more guy

711
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 4: than the Bills could block and Josh's gonna get blown

712
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 4: up before we could get rid of the ball. I

713
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 4: think Jacksonville was playing ultra aggressive up front and that

714
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 4: kind of scared the Bills off of play action for

715
00:36:54,600 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 4: that reason maybe, but that's just my opinion, no question,

716
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: you kind of wonder when when stuff's not going well,

717
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 4: you wonder what's different, and certainly play action was one

718
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 4: of the things that was not the same. I also

719
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: think there's a chance too that Ken Dorsey and maybe

720
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 4: Sean McDermott both and maybe some of the other offensive

721
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 4: guys were saying, listen, we're flat as a pancake. Let's

722
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 4: try and get some positive plays and get some first

723
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 4: downs and then see if we can, then we'll go

724
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 4: deeper later. And I think the deep balls were part

725
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 4: of the offense that I think Jacksonville thought, maybe, you know, listen, Darren,

726
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 4: to see if they can throw deep their low percentage passes.

727
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: And even when they did.

728
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 4: Jacksonville was defending those deep passes on the on the

729
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 4: other end, not at the receiver's end, but at the

730
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: quarterback end.

731
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 3: So I don't know why they didn't.

732
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 4: I don't know completely why they got away from the

733
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 4: play action like we noticed that they did. But there's

734
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 4: a lot of things about that Jacksonville defense and what

735
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 4: it did that maybe put and and play us about

736
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 4: what the Bills were doing then maybe took them off

737
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 4: of their regular game plan, and certainly they look different

738
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 4: than they had in the previous three weeks.

739
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here. When we come

740
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: back from Buffalo Bills dot Com, our own colleague Alec

741
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: White will come in to fill us in on what

742
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: the Giants are saying this week. And there's a lot

743
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: to say because we don't even know who's playing for

744
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: them yet right now, especially on the offensive side of

745
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: the ball. So we'll catch up with him when we

746
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: return here. On One Bill's Live presented by co Lot

760
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: But at this point in time, we wheel in doing

761
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: the Chris Collinsworth slide. Our Bill's content writer for Buffalo

762
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: bills dot Com, Alec White, joining us here on set

763
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: for an edition of what they're saying, and we're kind

764
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: of focusing on the opponent here. Everybody knows what's going

765
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 2: on with the Bill's day after day after day here

766
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 2: in Western New York, But what about the opponent? That's

767
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 2: what we're after here with Alec, who kind of has

768
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 2: his ear to do ground on all of this stuff.

769
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: It's a weird week for the Giants, Alec. I mean,

770
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: it's not an unusual week. They've been injured seemingly since

771
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: the start of the year. But it's another weird week

772
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: and it's a Daniel Jones up in the air of

773
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: la ability thing most of all for them, right.

774
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, Daniel Jones again didn't practice today for the Giants.

775
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 12: He's still dealing with some next soreness that he suffered

776
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 12: against Miami. Tyrod Taylor came into that game. He also

777
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 12: was banged up. I was listening to Tyrod's press conference

778
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 12: from yesterday and Taylor said that he got the wind

779
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 12: knocked out of him against the Dolphins, and so he's

780
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 12: he would be most likely to step up in Daniel

781
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 12: Jones's place. But you're already dealing with now two quarterbacks

782
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 12: that are still working through some injuries.

783
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

784
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 2: I saw Brian Danvill say that they may even have

785
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: to sign a third this week as a fail safe.

786
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: How late in the week they wait to do that

787
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: is kind of interesting. They haven't done it yet, I guess,

788
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: as far as we've seen, so it's gonna be interesting

789
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 2: to see what they decide to do their quarterback.

790
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 4: They're also I mean, they're talking a ton of these

791
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 4: guys are just limited. Well a lot of them didn't practice,

792
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 4: you know, all these guys, but there's a ton that

793
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 4: are just limited, and you kind of think, Okay, they're

794
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 4: probably gonna go at an ankle. He got an ankle,

795
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 4: You got a groin, You got a knee.

796
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 12: Darren Waller, they're leading a receiver with the groin. He's

797
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 12: popping up on the injury report.

798
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 4: He did not practice, So you know, it's not like

799
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 4: their left tackle has been is nicked up now since

800
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 4: week Yeah, so they are really struggling to stay healthy

801
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 4: over there, and it's starting to affect everything they do.

802
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 8: Yeah.

803
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 12: No, and the Bills defense specifically might have a chance

804
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 12: to really feast on these guys. They're right number one

805
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 12: in in sacks, number one in takeaways. So you talk

806
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 12: about even though even though at Oliver and Greg Russou

807
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 12: or Gregor were so specifically didn't play, if they get

808
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 12: him back and at Oliver who's having a career, or

809
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 12: if they get that defensive line going with the Giants

810
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 12: injuries up front, it could be in for a long

811
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 12: night no matter who's that quarterback.

812
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 4: We're already getting stuff from fans call in and saying, listen,

813
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 4: I'm you know, I don't want to take these guys lightly,

814
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 4: and you really can't. I mean, you got to show

815
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 4: up and you got to really go because even if

816
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 4: you do wind up lumping them up, you got to

817
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 4: play hard. We've talked about it a lot the Giants are,

818
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 4: They're not bereft of anybody, and there's always a chance

819
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 4: to like, you know, Saquon Barkley gets to go ahead

820
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 4: on Sunday afternoon, right, So.

821
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

822
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 3: I yes, the.

823
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 4: Bills are a better team on paper, but you know

824
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 4: they were a better team than Jacksonville as well.

825
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

826
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 12: No, Saquon Barkley two, he's been out for three weeks.

827
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 12: He's still a video came out yesterday of him at practice.

828
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 12: He's still got ankle or ankle wrap on his high

829
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 12: ankle spring that's kept him out. So even if he

830
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 12: does go, he may not be at one hundred percent.

831
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 12: But we've seen the Bills struggle sometimes against you know,

832
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 12: especially against the run. So even if Saquon can't go,

833
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 12: there's Gary Brightwell who's stepped up, Matt Brita as well,

834
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 12: So there's still some players on the Giants that can

835
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 12: run the ball.

836
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 2: One big storyline that the media is pumping up is

837
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: obviously the relationship between Brian Dabele and Josh Allen, and

838
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 2: based on both their comments, I know Brian Dabele spoke

839
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: again today, it's been a veritable love fest.

840
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, No, both guys are talking very highly with one another.

841
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 12: Josh Allen yesterday said he facetimes Brian Dable every two weeks,

842
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 12: and the conversation is just it's like a bro. You're

843
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 12: talking to one of your bros. It's just like, Hey,

844
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 12: what's up, Hello, how's it going?

845
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 9: Check it in.

846
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 12: That's not just about football, it's about life too, because

847
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 12: Dabel said we had a conference call with him earlier

848
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 12: this morning and he said that the relationship started because

849
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 12: of football, but it carries on not because of football.

850
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 12: It's because of the friendship they developed over the four

851
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 12: years in Buffalo. And uh, just a lot of respect

852
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 12: from both sides. And I think weink Martindale talk about him,

853
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 12: he threw out a very interesting Josh Allen.

854
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 4: To ask you about that, Martin, the defensive coordinator, had

855
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 4: some things to say about Josh.

856
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, so three famous athletes wrapped into one person, So

857
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 12: you got week. Martindale said, Josh Allen reminds him of

858
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 12: Dan Reno's arm strength, Derrick Henry's legs, and then Steph

859
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 12: Curry's mindset, and that Steph believes he can hit any shot,

860
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 12: much like Josh Allen believes he can make any throw

861
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 12: on the field. Which I think is a pretty accurate

862
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 12: comparison steph Out. You know, he will push the limits

863
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 12: of the three point shots he can make, and sometimes

864
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 12: you see Josh Allen stretch the limits of throws he

865
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 12: can make from sideline to sideline or deep down the field.

866
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm wondering what Martindale's approach is going to be because

867
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: he's really in a bit of a spot here in

868
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 2: terms of how to call this defense. Blitzing Josh can

869
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 2: sometimes be a mistake, But at the same time, he's

870
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: got a lot of young defensive backs that start for him,

871
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 2: and you kind of want to protect them with a

872
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 2: fierce pass rush. So I'm wondering what kind of balance

873
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 2: he decides to strike this week, knowing Josh has sometimes

874
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: burned teams when they blitz him.

875
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, Dable touched on what wink would their

876
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 12: game plan defensively, and Dave Ball said this morning that

877
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 12: the Bills offense, obviously it starts with Josh Allen, but

878
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 12: it runs through Stefan Diggs, Gabe Davis, and Dawson Knox.

879
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 12: Those are your three primary guys that when you watch

880
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 12: on tape that you're gonna prepare and study for and

881
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 12: that's hard enough to defend. I think Wink Martindale's plan

882
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 12: is going to be can he take away those other piece?

883
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 12: Those other pieces Dalton Kincaid, Deontay Hardy, Trent Sherfield, those

884
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 12: are gonna be the pieces that can unlock the Bills

885
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 12: James Cook as well. So if you can rain those

886
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 12: guys in and then just make those guys non factoris

887
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 12: and then just focus on controlling Digs, limiting big play

888
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 12: Gabe and then Dawson Knox, who's who's going through, you know,

889
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 12: a wrist injury this week. If you can kind of

890
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 12: control those guys, that makes a little easier for your

891
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 12: defensive backs.

892
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 4: It almost seems like the Giants would have, particularly with

893
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 4: Wink Martindale as their defensive coordinator, it would be a mix,

894
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 4: but it would be a mix of extremes one like,

895
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 4: for instance, one snap it's it's all out pressure, the

896
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 4: next snap it's totally soft zone, kind of crossing up,

897
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 4: never doing one thing all the time, but doing extremes

898
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 4: of those things within the game plan. It almost seems

899
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 4: like that's his kind of mo. He likes pressure, no

900
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 4: question about it, and he likes exotic looks.

901
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 12: Yeah, and cave on Thibodeau, their star ed rusher. You know,

902
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 12: second year in the league. He's got a sack in

903
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 12: his last three games. He's got four on the season,

904
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 12: so he's been playing well. There were a lot of

905
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 12: questions about him last year, maybe not living up to

906
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 12: those expectations, but he seems to be coming around and

907
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 12: the Bills that's a guy you have to prepare for.

908
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 12: Number one is because he can wreck any play.

909
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,919
Speaker 4: Thhibbida's the one guy the Bill's got to know where

910
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 4: he's lining up every play.

911
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. Aleck, thanks for bringing us

912

00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,720

Speaker 2: Appreciate it.

918
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:40,640

Speaker 8: I just get excited to see get ready for the tailgates.

954
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 13: And just see the faces that I haven't seen in

955
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 13: a while, and you know, the experience all over again.

956
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 8: I get that nostalgia right right.

957
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: We've got a long Horn on the roster now. It's

958
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 2: been a while. I think you were like the last

959
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 2: long Horn on the roster. And we got Poon Afford

960
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: here now, and he's gonna get a lot of run

961
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: on Sunday. So are you gonna wrap up that guy?

962
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 2: Because that poor guy's got other defensive linemen from like Texas,

963
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 2: A and m Oklahoma. I mean they all say, hey,

964
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 2: Poon is a great player. The only thing I don't

965
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 2: like about him he's from Texas. You're gonna have to

966
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 2: give him a little love there because he doesn't have

967
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 2: a lot of college buddies here.

968
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 13: We rolle together It doesn't matter where we're at. As

969
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 13: soon as we know that where longhorns are in the house,

970
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 13: we always just come find each other. We're like magnets.

971
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 13: We always have each other's backs. So of course I'm

972
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 13: gonna say what's up to my guy? And I'm gonna

973
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 13: let these other guys know, like, hey, you know about

00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 13: being out in the.

Speaker 8: City of Buffalo.

1017
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,640

1018
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 13: that really have helped me through my career, helped me

1019
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 13: get situated in Buffalo when I got there. I'm sure

1020
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,800
Speaker 13: grab a few dinners here and there, but for the

1021
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 13: most part, man, I try to see as much as

1022
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 13: many people as I can. It's hard to do, and

1023
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 13: a couple of days, maybe not three, but I do

1024
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 13: my best to try to see everybody, including the staff,

1025
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 13: including the guys that some of the coaches that I

1026
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 13: that I so frequently talked to, and even people at

1027
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 13: the front office that I see here and there, especially

1028
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 13: the people I saw last week in London, which by

1029
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 13: the way, felt like a Buffalo home game. I know

1030
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 13: it's not the final result that we wanted, but I

1031
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 13: just want to get a shout out to all the

1032
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 13: fans out there from Europe and for people in Buffalo,

1033
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 13: who are you know, crazy enough to make that traveling

1036
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 13: for for stuff like this.

1037
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 4: What do your friends out back here, what are they

1038
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 4: saying about this game and the giants and what do

1039
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 4: you How do you think the atmosphere will be.

1040
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 13: I think the atmosphere will always be a top tier notch.

1041
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 13: I mean, I haven't been to a Bills game where ever.

1042
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 13: Even here at Austin Bill's Backers Bar, there's never a

1043
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 13: time where we're not in a chaotic, you know, standpoint

1044
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 13: where everyone is just out there having a great time,

1045
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,919
Speaker 13: really rooting for the guys. I've never been a part

1046
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 13: of uh or been around a quiet Bills game, if

1047
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 13: that mean, I don't think that's even acceptable UH in

1048
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 13: a Bill's party watch party. So it's always been a

1049
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 13: great time. It's always been a lot of great energy

1050
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 13: and being with them and just seeing the guys go

1051
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 13: after it.

1052
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 8: It doesn't make it doesn't get any better than that.

1054
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:32,600

1055
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 2: everything that you must say pregame. Not that you're gonna

1056
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 2: really need to get a primetime crowd that amped up

1057

Speaker 2: here in Western New York, but I know you'll put

1079
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 2: there's a lot going on.

1080
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 3: Plus all day.

1081
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 2: That's what I just said, all day. And you know

1082
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 2: what we're doing about all day being a froth pack

1083
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 2: of lunch man, just lunch and dinner. Oh my gosh,

1084
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 2: have you ever done a tailgate that long, like for

1085
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: a night game. Have you ever done a tailgate that's

1086
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 2: so long there was lunch and dinner. I've never done one.

1087
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 3: The tailgate I freaked went every time.

1088
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 4: It's the one one of the I like this last

1089
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 4: game against Miami, I made like four stops, but I

1090
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 4: always stop at one, which is you know group that

1091
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 4: close friends of mine, and it's always they eat three

1092
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 4: times three times.

1093
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1094
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 2: For like, so for a night game this Sunday.

1095
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 4: They'll go in, they'll be there, they'll have breakfast, have lunch,

1096
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 4: and then after the game while everything's because they're in

1097
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 4: this big Winnebago kind of thing.

1098
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: Oh you're saying for like a one o'clock game.

1099
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 4: For a one o'clock game, they'll eat breakfast and then

1100
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 4: they'll eat like before the then they'll have another one

1101
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 4: before they and then after they have a little something

1102
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 4: after so they can wait for all the traffic clear

1103
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 4: out and then they head out.

1104
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 2: That's when you just leave the crock pot, crockpot on

1105
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: in the camper.

1106
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 4: Well, they got it there die Well, like most bills,

1107
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 4: they're dialed in. They gotta you know, they got it

1108
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 4: all wired up, you know, so it's all they gotta

1109
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 4: do is like it's amazing, you just flip the switch

1110
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 4: on it.

1111
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 2: And I always wondered about that because obviously, with the

1112
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 2: jobs that we have, tailgating really isn't an option.

1113
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,959
Speaker 3: Right and I parachute in is what I always.

1114
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 2: Wondered though, Like for night games, is that a two

1115
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: meal tailgate? I would tend to think it is like

1116
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 2: even though the lots don't open until four hours before,

1117
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: you know, if you're in the Campra lot, you're there, so.

1118
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 4: Well, you know how it is. I mean some of

1119
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 4: these are they're like six meal things because they show

1120
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 4: up you know, well Saturday, right right, I mean they

1121
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 4: so they're you know, they're living there. So yeah, it's yeah,

1122
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 4: it's awesome. It's a great atmosphere. I have absolutely there,

1123
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 4: absolutely at least it's uh, it's one of those things

1124
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 4: as well. Where and this is one of the things

1125
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 4: that kind of worries people about the new stadium. It's

1126
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 4: going to be different, but you know, it's not going

1127
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 4: to be that different. It's it is one of the

1128
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 4: things is really the thing that sets Buffalo apart. You

1129
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 4: can say Green Bay is a little bit like this,

1130
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 4: but even Green Bay is much much different than it

1131
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 4: is in Buffalo. And uh, you know, because they're in

1132
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 4: Green Bay. Even it's in a neighborhood like it is

1133
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 4: in Orchard Park. But all the roads around Lambeau have

1134
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 4: those houses have been bought up and they're all houses

1135
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 4: for like businesses, so they're like it's almost a little

1136
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 4: corporatey even for Green Bay. You know, it's it's you

1137
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 4: rent the house from a group of guys who has

1138
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 4: it and keeps it up for tailgate parties. That's what

1139
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 4: they do because the houses, you know, when they got

1140
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 4: these houses, they're like, you know, they're pennies on the dollar.

1141
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 4: And so now it's a little bit like there's fifty

1142
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 4: Bill's Mafia houses, like the one right there by one

1143
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 4: Bill's Drive, there's fifty of those. It's still not quite

1144
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 4: to that stage here in Buffalo. It's this is a

1145
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 4: different atmosphere. So I can't tell you how awesome it.

1146
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 4: You don't know, I do. I mean, I go out

1147
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 4: there and walk I can walk around nobody knows who

1148
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 4: I am.

1149
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,479
Speaker 2: I used to have to do pregame radio broadcasts from

1150
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 2: across Abbott Road, and so we were in the thick

1151
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 2: of it, and we used to do tailgate recipe contests.

1152
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean I used to have their to

1153
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 2: have everything from Teriaki flavored venison to like I mean,

1154
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 2: it was everything under the sun name it. So I

1155
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 2: was indoctrinated pretty quickly. It's been a long time since

1156
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 2: I've been out.

1157
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 4: I got to tell you it is. It is an

1158
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 4: an experience like none other, and I absolutely love it.

1159
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 4: I you know, I stopped by the Big Tree for

1160
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 4: a minute, I got my friends that are down this

1161
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 4: block for a minute, and then you know, Gym's got

1162
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 4: his tailgate right there. So those are three stops.

1163
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 2: You have a pretty circuitous route here.

1164
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes I won't make it to all of them,

1165
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 4: but Gim's is right here where we park, so I

1166
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 4: kind of say hi to Gym every week. But in fact,

1167
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 4: so it's it's an atmosphere. Plus when I walk to

1168
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 4: these places, the same people in the same spots every Sunday,

1169
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 4: every game, it's just it's really cool, really cool.

1170
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 3: And so they are dialed in.

1171
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 4: Some of these people have recipes and you know, I

1172
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 4: don't say ritual, but ceremonies anyway, this kind of ceremony,

1173
00:58:58,360 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 4: they got to do that.

1174
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 3: You got to be here, you gotta do this, you

1175
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 3: gotta do that.

1176
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 4: Got all the way down the list, and the lists

1177
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 4: are along of things that people do every Sunday.

1178
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 3: So it's.

1179
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 4: For guys like Aaron Williams to come back. That's one

1180
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 4: of the best parts about coming back is being a

1181
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 4: part of that atmosphere. And now certainly the weather you know,

1182
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 4: plays a part in that. But man, that last game

1183
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 4: against the Miami Dolphins in this stadium and this it

1184
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,439
Speaker 4: was quintessential perfect, perfect in every way.

1185
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, very much, performance and.

1186
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 4: Atmosphere everything, weather, atmosphere. Remember how many rain games they

1187
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 4: had last year, and the meaningfulness of the game. I mean,

1188
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 4: it's just a it was just a sensation. Those are

1189
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 4: the kind of games like if you got a giant

1190
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 4: fan in your house, take them to that game and

1191
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 4: they'll switch jerseys that day. I mean, that's how great

1192
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 4: it was against the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago.

1193
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 2: Uh So we're waiting for practice to conclude, and when

1194
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 2: that happens, we will be getting one. Aj Epanessa here

1195
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 2: in studio one of the defensive players on the roster

1196
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: right now. With all the big plays he has been

1197
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 2: making through the first five games this season, not the

1198
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 2: least of which was his sack, strip fumble trifecta at

1199
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 2: the end of the first half last week. He also

1200
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 2: had three batted passes. Steve, It's not like something he's

1201
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: doing once a week. He's it's routine now.

1202
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence isn't isn't to a tongue of I low

1203
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,439
Speaker 4: and he's not Kyler Murray. He's a six ' five

1204
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 4: quarterback who stands tall in the pocket and AJ is

1205
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 4: still knocking him down. It was it was he has

1206
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 4: played outstanding football. Sean McDermott was asked today in his

1207
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 4: press conference, you know what's up with AJ?

1208
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 3: You know why is? Have you noticed it? And he

1209
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 3: said yeah.

1210
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 4: One of the things that was different is, you know,

1211
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 4: somebody on our staff, me another, walked up to him

1212
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 4: and said, listen, AJ, we believe in you. We we

1213
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 4: think you've got what it takes. We like where you're at,

1214
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 4: we like how hard you've worked, and we believe you're

1215
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 4: a great player. And it's a little bit like what

1216
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 4: we've talked about with Ed Oliver.

1217
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 3: Some of these guys.

1218
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 4: Just want to know that somebody believes in them before

1219
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 4: they actually, you know, stand up and say all right,

1220
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 4: I got this. You know certainly, he says, he thinks

1221
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 4: Aj Panessa this year has taken a giant step and

1222
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 4: one of the reasons is because he feels like the

1223
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 4: club believes in him.

1224
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 3: And that's.

1225
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 4: You tend to think of these guys as you know,

1226
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 4: these athletes, pro athletes.

1227
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 3: But they're a lot.

1228
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 4: They're young guys, man, They're young guys making their way

1229
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 4: in a man's world. In this pro athlete you see

1230
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 4: all these great players around and you're playing with these guys.

1231
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 4: To have somebody come up to you and say, you

1232
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 4: know what, you're one of those guys. You belong here,

1233
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 4: it means a lot.

1234
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 2: It was interesting. It was interesting too that coach McDermott

1235
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 2: also mentioned what he felt was an uptick in more

1236
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: dedicated practice habits. Now. I don't know if I'm not

1237
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 2: saying that Aj wasn't trying to practice before, but it

1238
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 2: seems like there was some kind of change that even

1239
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 2: coach McDermott noticed in his daily approach that he feels

1240
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 2: is partially responsible for his uptick in not only performance,

1241
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 2: but the consistency of that performance, because he's been playing

1242
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 2: like this every week so far, and I think this

1243
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 2: isn't like a once in a while thing.

1244
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 4: And he said some of it probably was a pass

1245
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 4: rush some and he's been going to with Vaughan some

1246
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 4: of that and having guys like that around. And he

1247
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 4: also mentioned this too, that he's got the right mindset.

1248
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 4: He was willing to get better. He's only to saying,

1249
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,479
Speaker 4: oh you, oh, so you do that. You spend extra

1250
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 4: time here and less time there, more time there. Do

1251
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 4: with that, and he's willing to change his beliefs. And

1252
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 4: McDermott mentioned here, these guys come into the league, they've

1253
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 4: already been successful. All these guys coming from Division I

1254
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 4: schools and they were successful been drafted into the highest

1255
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 4: level of football. So they've had some success already. But

1256
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 4: to be willing to say, you know what, I gotta

1257
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 4: do something different to be at this level, it's a

1258
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 4: big step for some of them.

1259
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 3: And AJ seems to have made it this year.

1260
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 2: And the other thing that I think is is interesting

1261
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 2: for me is you think about these players that have

1262
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 2: been drafted during the COVID years, essentially twenty twenty and

1263
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, and some of them have taken a

1264
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 2: little bit more time to blossom. You know, here's aj

1265
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 2: in his fourth year and now he's set in the

1266
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 2: world on fire, and it's like, well, and I've had

1267
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 2: fans come up to me and ask me why did

1268
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 2: it take so long? And I think I think COVID

1269
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 2: played a role in that. And you say, oh, everybody

1270
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 2: blames everything on COVID, but seriously, seriously, no spring practices,

1271
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 2: no training camp, well not a real training camp anyway,

1272
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 2: no preseason. There was no preseason in twenty twenty, and

1273
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 2: then it's just like, go get him, go play. And

1274
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 2: I think that stunted the growth of a god. Not everybody,

1275
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 2: but a good number of players across the league. Even

1276
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty one class had a limited run up

1277
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 2: to real regular season football because a lot of the

1278
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 2: protocols were still in place even in twenty twenty one

1279
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: spring summer, leading up to training camp and everything. And

1280
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 2: you think about Spencer Brown here in year three playing

1281
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 2: a little bit better this year finally, And j Epeness

1282
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 2: is another example. He's from the class of the year

1283
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 2: before that. I'm curious and we'll probably never be able

1284
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 2: to accurately measure it. But I have to believe in

1285
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 2: some respects it stunted their growth because I mean, you

1286
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 2: know better than I do. You get better by taking

1287
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 2: snaps and playing.

1288
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah you yeah.

1289
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,439
Speaker 4: And I think one of the things that people don't

1290
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 4: get is what the way these guys work and the

1291
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 4: way it kind of works in the NFL is you play,

1292
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 4: and you play, you play, you practice practice practice. One

1293
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 4: of the things that players and I say forced some

1294
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 4: of them aren't forced. Some of them like to do it.

1295
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 4: For most of us, like you and me, I think

1296
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 4: most people kind of cringe. They are forced to look

1297
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 4: to watch themselves practice in a room with their peers

1298
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 4: and be critiqued in front of everybody. It's a it's

1299
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 4: a you know, a vulnerable spot you're in and when

1300
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 4: you do something that's embarrassing on the film, you can't

1301
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 4: hide from it. It's there, and you got to learn

1302
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 4: to like stand up and say, hey.

1303
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 3: Man, I messed that. I could not have messed that up.

1304
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 4: Worse, you got to got to own it. The you

1305
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 4: have to have a mindset where you're willing to watch yourself,

1306
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 4: fail and get better from it.

1307
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 3: And some guys shrink yeah, or struggle with it, struggle

1308
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 3: with that and they never get right. They know.

1309
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 4: Some guys are like man and then they say, well

1310
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 4: run that back. What if I you know what if?

1311
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 4: And they quit and say, hey, how can I get better?

1312
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 4: Let's find solutions, find solutions and when you get into

1313
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 4: and that's why culture is so important because in an environment,

1314
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 4: think about it. If you're an environment that you hate

1315
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 4: and is toxic, and you got guys in there that

1316
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 4: you don't respect and you don't like and you don't

1317
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 4: think they like you either, and you don't yeah, and

1318
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 4: you're watching it together and they that in that environment,

1319
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 4: you're being critiqued in front of these jokers. It is

1320
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 4: not conducive to improvement. But if you get a culture

1321
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 4: where you got older guys that you respect, have got

1322
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 4: some you know, got one hundred and thirty sacks like

1323
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 4: Vaughn and he's in there going, yeah, I see what

1324
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 4: you're thinking. But what you try to do is get

1325
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 4: your shoulder a little lower, you know what. I give

1326
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 4: you some constructive stuff to work on where they don't

1327
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 4: laugh at you and criticize you and punk you, they're

1328
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 4: like going, no, no, no, I see where you're at.

1329
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 4: But you know they encourage you and empower you. That

1330
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 4: culture does make a difference. And like you said, and

1331
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 4: I think it's an astute point, the environment of the

1332
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 4: NFL was not normal for two full seasons, and so

1333
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 4: some of these guys are catching up to where getting

1334
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 4: or getting the benefit now from when it is normal.

1335
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean you think about when the new

1336
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 2: CBA went through. Padded practices dropped by over fifty percent

1337
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 2: in the off season, and for people that play up

1338
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 2: on the line, it's tough to get at better when

1339
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 2: you're not getting the practices and the snaps with pads

1340
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 2: on to play something at least close to real football.

1341
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

1342
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 2: I still remember Micah Hyde telling us after the twenty

1343
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 2: twenty offseason with an abbreviated almost padless training camp because

1344
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 2: they were trying to ramp the players up first before

1345
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 2: they even approached real football. Right, no preseason and then

1346
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:29,439
Speaker 2: it's let's go full pads regular season football. Michah Hige

1347
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 2: told us week one. I think the defensive players are

1348
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 2: at a disadvantage because we haven't hit a damn thing

1349
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 2: since we haven't practiced tackling since last December or January.

1350
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: And now that's why the scoring was so high those

1351
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 2: first few weeks of the twenties. Remember how the scoring

1352
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 2: was off the charts in twenty twenty. It's because the

1353
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 2: defensive players didn't have any practice on how to tackle anybody.

1354
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 2: That's right.

1355
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 4: And it's a real thing. And I and I always

1356
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 4: we talk about it a lot, because you know, it's

1357
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 4: always a thing when you know, you get a mistackle

1358
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 4: or something. We noticed it, you know, you know, in

1359
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 4: the in the game with the Giants had this last

1360
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 4: week where they called the perfect defensive guy comes up

1361
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 4: and just absolutely whiffs in the hole and it turns

1362
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 4: into a touchdown where they should have been a four

1363
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 4: yard loss turned into a touchdown run Blitz and wink.

1364
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 4: Martindale's over there like like checking phrase, like are you

1365
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 4: joking right now? And they're they're trying to win, right

1366
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 4: They're they're trying to win games like that, And it's

1367
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 4: the game has changed so much where guys not only

1368
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 4: they don't get a practice tackling live and in practice

1369
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 4: and all that, they're not allowed to like they used to.

1370
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 3: We were laughing the other day at the change in equipment.

1371
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 3: I mean, it used to be these.

1372
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 4: Guys with even me, I was a wide receiver, I

1373
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 4: had shoulder pads the size of a refrigerator.

1374
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you you know, you tackled that way.

1375
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 4: You were flying in, hitting guys at the top of

1376
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 4: the head, trying to knock them off balance, and all

1377
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 4: that nobody wrapped up. You were trying to knock them

1378
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 4: off their feet prop like with one shot. Now that's illegal,

1379
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 4: so you can't. So none of the guys wear pads

1380
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 4: like that. Now they're all wearing these little teeny tiny

1381
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 4: you know, shells, all play faster, right, we'd.

1382
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 3: Wear those for walkthroughs back in my day. Yeah.

1383
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 4: So's it's a completely different game. And the adjustments that

1384
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 4: the players have had to make because of the rule

1385
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 4: changes and because of the game, the way the game

1386
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 4: has changed, the way the practices have changed. Man, oh man,

1387
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 4: it couldn't be more different and still be called the

1388
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 4: same sport. I mean, it's it's evolved really fast over

1389
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 4: the last fifteen twenty years.

1390
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty remarkable. I am encouraged that. In addition

1391
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 2: to Rousseau, it I mean it looks like not Rousseau

1392
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 2: in addition to Apanessa, it looks like Rousseau and Lawson,

1393
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 2: who were down for last week's game, are trending in

1394
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 2: the right direction here. You know, they were still on

1395
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 2: the injury report as of yesterday limited participants, but they're

1396
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 2: trending in the right direction, which is certainly encouraging. I

1397
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: know last week at this time, knowing Rousseau didn't practice

1398
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 2: at all, we were are all worried, like is this

1399
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 2: a day to day injury or is this a week

1400
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 2: to week injury? But he was labeled as day to

1401
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,799
Speaker 2: day on Monday. He's practicing in a limited capacity yesterday.

1402
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 2: We'll see what the Thursday injury report says today. But

1403
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 2: knowing how beat up this Giant's offensive line is, to

1404
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 2: know you have or are likely to, I should say

1405
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:25,839
Speaker 2: likely to have aj EPINESSA. Kingsley, Jonathan von Miller, Greg Russo,

1406
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 2: and Shaq Lawson at your disposal. Assuming that Rousseau and

1407
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 2: loss and come through practice without any setbacks this week,

1408
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 2: I like the Bills chances there, my goodness, Like those

1409
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,440
Speaker 2: five guys rolling through off the edge.

1410
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 4: I think we're Yeah, I'm interested. See how much Vaughn

1411
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 4: plays Rousseau, how close to one hundred percent he is.

1412
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 3: Because I'm you know, I'm.

1413
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 4: I think at this point, like a lot of bills

1414
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 4: fans are, I'm hyper sensitive to getting some guys one

1415
01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 4: hundred percent healthy again, right these next three getting out there,

1416
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 4: you know, and I'm you talk out of both sides.

1417
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 4: I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth like

1418
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 4: we do sometimes. You never take anybody for granted. But

1419
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 4: you got the Giants, the Patriots and the Bucks coming up,

1420
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 4: you know, get it right, take care of business, take

1421
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 4: care of business, get some guys healthy, and then go

1422
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 4: to Cincinnati, Denver and the Jets and Philly with momentum, Yeah,

1423
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 4: with some momentum and all your you know, all your ammo.

1424
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. I just you know what has

1425
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 2: been plaguing the Giants, and it's their offensive front due

1426
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 2: mainly to injury. And there is some disappointing play from

1427
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 2: some high draft choices in their line. I'm not, you know,

1428
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,600
Speaker 2: most notably Evan Neil. They're right tackle who was a

1429
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 2: top ten draft choice at Alabama. So if you've got

1430
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 2: all your horses on the edge, man oh man, Yeah,

1431
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 2: to coin a phrase that you use a lot, I'm

1432
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 2: sure sign sign sign me up, dude the phrase it's

1433
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 2: gonna be a long day for that Giant's offensive line,

1434
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 2: especially in the state that they are in, and obviously,

1435
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 2: you know we would expect Ajpanessa to be a big

1436
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 2: part of that. I would say the other part of

1437
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 2: the equation here, which is of a little bit more concern,

1438
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 2: is naturally the cornerback position because you don't have Dane

1439
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:24,919
Speaker 2: Jackson practicing again today due to a foot injury. Christian

1440
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 2: Benford is trending in the right direction, working his way

1441
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 2: back from the shoulder injury that kept him down last week,

1442
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 2: so you would hope he would be fit to play,

1443
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,799
Speaker 2: and then you have Kyrie Elam and then the practice

1444
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 2: squad elevation. JaMarcus Ingram, who coach McDermott said yesterday, would

1445
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 2: be the likely guy to fill the open fifty three

1446
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 2: man roster spot because of the potential lack of availability

1447
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 2: of Dane Jackson and maybe to Benford, although as I said,

1448
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 2: he is practicing again today, which is a good sign.

1449
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 2: So we hope, against hope that the corners heeled quickly

1450
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 2: and that they are available. We have to take a

1451
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 2: break here, but when we come back, we're gonna give

1452
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 2: you one of two people. It's either aj Epanessa here

1453
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 2: in studio or Mitch Morse at the post practice podium.

1454
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 2: One of those two guys is coming your way next

1455
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live, presented by co Lot of Health,

1456
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:26,600
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back to the

1457
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 2: Thursday edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1458
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 2: with you. Practice has concluded for the day for the Bills,

1459
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 2: and that means we can go to the post practice

1460
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 2: podium where Bill Center Mitch Morse is addressing the media.

1461
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 14: Now, if you subscriber stem on Dick's leadership style, I

1462
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 14: would describe it as effective, intense, transparent, but also fair

1463
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 14: and by example. So all all the traits you want

1464
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 14: out of a leader who's also a competitive firecracker. He's

1465
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 14: got it all and he brings the juice and when

1466
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,879
Speaker 14: we're up or down, he's gonna bring that same intensity,

1467
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:16,560
Speaker 14: which is what you need. And a guy in his position.

1468
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:18,799
Speaker 3: A little bit when I first asked that one.

1469
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 14: He's just intense and I love it, but all all

1470
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 14: in a good way, you know.

1471
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 15: He Josh yesterday was pretty impassionate when he talked about it,

1472
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 15: and I think he used the word misunderstood.

1473
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 2: Do you see that?

1474
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, i'd say so. I mean you look at uh,

1475
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 14: this past offseason, that whole stuff. You know, his fire

1476
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 14: to win burns deep and constant, kind of like an

1477
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 14: Olympic flame. Like it's just like it's always going and uh,

1478
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 14: he's got the torch and he's trying to pass it

1479
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 14: on to everyone else, you know what I mean. So

1480
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 14: for us, it's just feeding off what he brings every

1481
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 14: game day, and uh, you know, he's gonna treat every

1482
01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:02,440
Speaker 14: game like it's a big one, and that's what you want.

1483
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 14: Image when you went back and watched the Jags film

1484
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 14: and you know, after going through the doldrums for the

1485
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 14: first like three quarters or so, how close did.

1486
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 4: You guys feel like you were to kind of like

1487
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 4: crack him through.

1488
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 14: Yeah. I think in every loss you can look back

1489
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 14: at some stuff that you want to transfer over to

1490
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 14: the next game. The big thing for us was communication

1491
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 14: and execution, and when you lack those, it's hard to win.

1492
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 14: And that's what we did, and it showed and it

1493
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 14: was apparent by the time we started executing, it was

1494
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 14: too late in the game for us to come back

1495
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 14: and win, and we didn't give our defense an opportunity

1496
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 14: to catch our breath. So for us, it's about and

1497
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 14: giving them an opportunity somewhat encourage based on like what

1498
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 14: what you went back and saw it that those things

1499
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 14: could be cleaned up. Yeah, I think it's always a

1500
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 14: sense of urgency at Morton, Nathan, I use that often,

1501
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 14: but it's uh. I wouldn't say you're encouraged after a loss.

1502
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 14: I think that you're there's I mean, I guess you

1503
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 14: are about opportunities that were just at your on your

1504
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 14: fingertips and your cusp. All the stuff is fixable. It

1505
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 14: comes to us to be accountable on those mistakes, and

1506
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 14: there are plenty. I would like back from last weekend.

1507
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: With Josh.

1508
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 3: You guys play so much on the shotgun.

1509
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 2: We were talking about it with Ken a little bit

1510
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 2: on Monday.

1511
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,719
Speaker 16: Have you seen him grow it all in terms of

1512
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 16: what he's able to do when he does when he

1513
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 16: has asked to play in your Senate.

1514
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, I think he's just he just he does

1515
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 14: such a good job of executing in general, understanding what's required.

1516
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 14: It's a great question, and that's a roundabout answer of

1517
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 14: me saying it's a great question. I don't know how

1518
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 14: to answer. I think I think we've used it in

1519
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 14: the past few games a lot more than we have

1520
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 14: in them. And uh, yeah, that's a good question. I

1521
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 14: don't have answer for it, So I'm just kind of

1522
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 14: beating around the bush.

1523
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 16: When you guys come out like you did in that game.

1524
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 16: I guess this is more of like a broader question

1525
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 16: about Johnny over the years. But like in those moments

1526
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 16: where you guys are banging your head against the wall,

1527
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 16: four straight drives in with a punt, what's he like

1528
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 16: in those moments? It might be a little bit different

1529
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 16: than your death.

1530
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1531
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 14: Well, I think we understand the power of time of

1532
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 14: possession and the power of executing early and what that

1533
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 14: does just for our team, and so I think as

1534
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 14: us progress. You know, there was constructive frustration, That's what

1535
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 14: i'd say, And it was rightfully so we were just

1536
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 14: miscues on all facets of an offense. So it wasn't

1537
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 14: demeaning or detrimental, but it was there was a fire

1538
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 14: and it was warranted. So for us, it's just kind

1539
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 14: of executing early. We can understand the defense are going

1540
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 14: to throw their best at you early too. John specifically,

1541
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I'd say so yes, specifically, it was not.

1542
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 16: Like when kind of this feeling that in. I mean,

1543
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 16: that's a leadership job from the greats over the years.

1544
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 16: Do you guys feel that?

1545
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, I mean not only do you feel it,

1546
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 14: but you know, all of us understand the position. You know,

1547
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 14: all of us are feeling it internally to a certain extent.

1548
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 14: But to see the guy who wears that, yeah, that

1549
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 14: that see on his chest, I believe it's a golden

1550
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 14: sea on his chest vocalize those frustrations in a manner

1551
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 14: that he usually doesn't like. I said, it wasn't the

1552
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 14: meaning or destructive. It was very constructive. So, you know,

1553
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 14: lights of fire and it just kind of it's my

1554
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 14: favorite word is a sense of urgency. That's what we

1555
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 14: had to bring out and uh, something we have to

1556
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 14: do better in the future endeavors.

1557
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 2: Is there any senses an offense?

1558
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 16: Pick things up little bit to let the defense works

1559
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 16: for you guys in with some losses their way to

1560
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 16: you know, I don't know, broaden the margin forreer.

1561
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 3: Well.

1562
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 14: I think what we have to do is just you know,

1563
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 14: I think when you when you look at it like that,

1564
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 14: or you try to go outside of yourself or you

1565
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 14: put extra pressure on yourself, you start start doing things

1566
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 14: out of the ordinary, doing more than your job. And

1567
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 14: that's something that I catch myself trying not to do

1568
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 14: and but doing often. And when you do that, you

1569
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 14: make silly mistakes or you put yourself in a position

1570
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 14: that actually, as much as your intentions were pure and good,

1571
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:40,440
Speaker 14: you actually do the inverse of that. It actually becomes detrimental.

1572
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 14: So for us, we understand that we've lost some key

1573
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,799
Speaker 14: players on defense. We're not going to try to change

1574
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 14: our our mindset on offense. We're just trying to execute

1575
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 14: every chance we can. And uh, we have the ultimate

1576
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 14: faith and those guys coming in. It's the beautiful thing

1577
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 14: about this team. We got guys stepping up.

1578
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1579
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 14: All right.

1580
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,639
Speaker 2: So that's Mitch Morse addressing the media after practice today.

1581
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,440
Speaker 2: In some comments or questions, I should say, asking about

1582
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 2: the state of the offense, if they felt they were

1583
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 2: very close to breaking through last week and finally getting

1584
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,480
Speaker 2: in a consistent rhythm. It didn't really show up until

1585
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 2: the latter stages of the second half, when things started

1586
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 2: clicking to some degree for them on the offensive side

1587
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 2: of the ball. I think the most interesting comment he

1588
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 2: made Steve was the lesson we learned this week in

1589
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 2: reviewing the film and making corrections was how important getting

1590
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 2: off to a solid start benefits our entire team. I mean,

1591
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 2: it sounds very basic, but there's value in seizing the

1592
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 2: moment and being on point right from the jump because

1593
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 2: it changes the whole complexion, not only for how your

1594
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 2: offense carries through the rest of the game, but it

1595
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 2: puts that opposing defense on their heels because now they

1596
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 2: have to adjust to you, and it may change the

1597
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 2: dynamic of how the opposing offense calls the game against

1598
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 2: your defense.

1599
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 3: Right.

1600
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 4: And I'll say this too. The thing you run into

1601
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 4: and is that you know you're trying to get off

1602
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 4: of this solid start, which means taking the easy right,

1603
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 4: you know, taking the easy throat, getting off, get getting

1604
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 4: a positive run on first down, staying ahead of the sticks,

1605
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 4: and do all that, and all of a sudden, the

1606
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,679
Speaker 4: first thing you do, you look up and you're so conservative.

1607
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,640
Speaker 4: You know, you make a first down for three you know,

1608
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 4: for two series. Getting off to a solid start while

1609
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 4: being as aggressive as you can is what you're talking about.

1610
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 4: You gotta stay on the field, and I get it.

1611
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 4: If you if it takes three off tackle runs to

1612
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:35,679
Speaker 4: do that. That's fine, but you gotta get a first down.

1613
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 4: That's not a solid start. When you're so conservative and

1614
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 4: trying and take the baby you know, you just start

1615
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 4: off to the little baby steps here, and if you

1616
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 4: keep falling down every time you go out there to

1617
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 4: try and get a nice, little soft, solid start, you

1618
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 4: got to you start laying it out there. You know,

1619
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 4: you gotta start playing hard and fast right out of

1620
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 4: the jump. And certainly this last game, and I'll say

1621
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,639
Speaker 4: it again, you drop the first third down when you've

1622
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 4: got it made. All you got to do is make

1623
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 4: the throw and catch on a little flat route. Can't

1624
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 4: do that second one, same thing, a little flat route

1625
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 4: guy turns it up and doesn't run hard enough to

1626
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,600
Speaker 4: get to the first down and get spotted short of

1627
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 4: the marker. Instead of getting the first down, you're off

1628
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 4: the field again.

1629
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 3: You got it.

1630
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 4: You can find to start off slow and get your

1631
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 4: feet under you, but you got.

1632
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 3: To put in the work.

1633
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 4: And in this last game, they just weren't invested with

1634
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 4: a sense of urgency early enough in that game to

1635
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 4: make a difference.

1636
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break here. When we come back,

1637
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 2: we'll have more sound from the post practice podium and

1638
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 2: hopefully Ajpanes says well here on one Bill's Live Stay Tuned.

1639
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 2: Ticket Master is the presenting sponsor of the Buffalo Bills

1640
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three season. Ticketmaster the official ticket marketplace of

1641
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 2: the NFL. We pivot now to the post practice podium.

1642
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 2: Gave Davis here addressing the media, here we.

1643
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 15: Go, how would you describe stuff in the lead style?

1644
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 9: He just brings a lot of energy, a lot of

1645
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 9: confidence and Stills didn't add a lot of guys. You know,

1646
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,640
Speaker 9: he just gives you the confidence to go out there

1647
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 9: and play free and know he's behind you and he's

1648
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 9: gonna give it everything he's got. So fac that's you know,

1649
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 9: big from him.

1650
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,959
Speaker 15: Yes, gosh, yes, today And he gave a pretty impassionate

1651
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 15: answer and as part of it said that he feels

1652
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:45,719
Speaker 15: like he's a little bit frustrated. He feels that stefan

1653
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 15: Is is pretty misunderstood.

1654
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, people definitely misunderstand him. You know, a

1655
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 9: lot of people call him a deva receiver or something,

1656
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 9: but he's just he's just passing in the game. He

1657
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 9: puts a lot of work into it. He sacrifices a lot,

1658
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,719
Speaker 9: and he wants to win. You know, he's an ultimate

1659
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 9: competitor and a lot of guys express it a lot

1660
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 9: of different ways, and you know the way he expresses

1661
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 9: you may not agree with. But again, as teammates, we

1662
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 9: know who he is. We know where it comes from,

1663
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 9: we know what comes from a place of love, and

1664
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 9: we also know that again, he's a competitor and wants

1665
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 9: to win. I feel like, you know, the way Steph

1666
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 9: is and the way I am is very similar. We

1667
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 9: just handled things differently. It's as simple as that. So

1668
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 9: you know, I don't see anything that is negative of

1669
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 9: what he does.

1670
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 15: You've been with him a long time now, is there

1671
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 15: anything he does on the field that stands out or

1672
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 15: even surprises you at this point? I mean, his production

1673
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 15: is really consistent for a long time here at a

1674
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 15: high level.

1675
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 9: Yeah. I feel like that that's what he he prides

1676
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 9: himself on is being consistent, and that's that's the type

1677
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 9: of energy he can bring to the team by being

1678
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 9: able to make the plays that he makes and put

1679
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 9: himself in the best position to be successful. Uh. Being

1680
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 9: able to go out there and watch him do what

1681
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 9: he does at a high level consistently is something that

1682
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 9: you know, I look at one in my game when

1683
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 9: that when it comes to me where I'm the one

1684
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,640
Speaker 9: getting you know, thirteen targets fourteen you know, and do

1685
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 9: what he does with. I mean, it's it's definitely someone

1686
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 9: I look up to and definitely want to get to

1687
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 9: his level.

1688
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 15: I think you and step or two or four vers

1689
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 15: in NFL with for.

1690
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:29,759
Speaker 8: At least four times.

1691
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 3: What is it about this offense that was allowed me

1692
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 3: to go.

1693
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 8: Like came nice with me?

1694
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, I felt like we've just been playing with each

1695
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 9: other for a long time. So just really comfortable with

1696
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 9: each other, just me fourteen and uh seventeen. I feel

1697
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 9: like we just know where we're gonna be at. There's

1698
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,680
Speaker 9: there's certain strengths that we have. We know, we know

1699
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 9: all of our strengths. And I know some plays when

1700
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 9: you know he may be getting doubled or something, maybe

1701
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 9: you know they may be favoring his side. I know

1702
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 9: where I can coming to effect and really you know,

1703
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 9: make a play. So just just having the reps of

1704
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 9: being together for such a long time, I feel like

1705
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 9: is what makes it different.

1706
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 15: Mitch was up here earlier and he used the phrase

1707
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 15: sense of urgency, uh talking in particular about the beginning

1708
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 15: of the game this past week. How do you go

1709
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 15: about making sure that you have that right from the

1710
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 15: beginning next week and going forward.

1711
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean you just have to You just go

1712
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 9: there with energy. I feel like whoever's out there first

1713
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 9: has to set the tone for the sideline and but

1714
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:32,639
Speaker 9: also for the sideline as well. We got to bring

1715
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 9: energy for our guys who are out there on the field.

1716
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 9: So if the defense out there, we got to be

1717
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 9: up active and ready to go, you know, vice versa.

1718
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 9: So having a censor everyone who comes to breaking out

1719
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 9: a huddle, making your blocks, making doing the right things

1720
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 9: during to play, and you know, obviously just playing the

1721
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 9: ball we know how to play.

1722
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 1: Is that easier to do on a prime side game,

1723
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 1: for like a Sunday night football game.

1724
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 9: I mean, I feel like it's it's no different on

1725
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 9: what time it is or it's prime or you know

1726
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 9: what I mean, It's just a football game.

1727
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 5: To us.

1728
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter what time or where we're at. We're

1729
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 9: coming with that same mindset. You know, effort, any energy

1730
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,040
Speaker 9: and execution is our thing. So just try to come

1731
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 9: out there with the three y's.

1732
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 15: When you try to look back on a game where

1733
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 15: maybe it isn't there or like.

1734
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 3: This past month.

1735
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 15: What do you can you point to one specific reason

1736
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 15: as to why it maybe isn't there or is it

1737
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 15: you know, can it be a multitude of different reasons?

1738
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 9: No, I mean you just I feel like the where

1739
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,799
Speaker 9: it starts at is you can say it's us having energy.

1740
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,959
Speaker 9: But you know, whereas energy come from come from execution.

1741
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 9: It comes from watching guys, you know, make plays and

1742
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 9: do what they're supposed to do at a high level, right,

1743
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 9: And then you get more, you get more comfortable, and

1744
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 9: you start getting excited for what's going on out on

1745
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 9: the field. So I don't know, I think there's not

1746
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 9: I just think it's just football.

1747
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 11: You know.

1748
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 9: In fact, some days you're gonna be hitting on all

1749
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,599
Speaker 9: cylinders and some days you won't. Some teams are more

1750
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 9: consistent others on hitting on all cylinders and being on

1751
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 9: the same page and doing the right stuff. I think

1752
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 9: that's what separates teams, is that everyone's good in the NFL,

1753
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 9: it's just who can play their best ball consistently.

1754
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 5: You know.

1755
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 9: And in fact, that's the biggest thing when it comes

1756
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 9: to the NFL.

1757
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 16: Since you have promisical the league at every stage, Like

1758
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 16: the point on what your role is was with the offense,

1759
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 16: you've always found the plays given your opportunity. So like

1760
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 16: with Dalton Party and Surefield coming in trying to put

1761
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 16: out of this offense, what do you tell them as

1762
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 16: a captain in terms of like how to kind of

1763
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 16: stay with it when maybe things aren't as quickly as

1764
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 16: you might like.

1765
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:38,559
Speaker 9: I just try to tell them to stay positive. You know,

1766
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 9: there will be a time where there'll be times where

1767
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,679
Speaker 9: they where we really where they need us, and there's

1768
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 9: times where they You know, there's times where you may

1769
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 9: not get the most opportunity. You know, I've been in

1770
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 9: I've been in those positions, but you got to take

1771
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 9: advantage of the opportunity that you get. And I feel

1772
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 9: like I've done that. There are times where I've got

1773
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 9: spent a lot of times where I got minimal, but

1774
01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 9: when I have gotten the opportunities that I have, I

1775
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 9: was able to make you know, big plays out of it.

1776
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 9: So really you just have to sit back, be patient

1777
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 9: and again just always be ready.

1778
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 2: All right. That's Gabe Davis addressing the media. We ran

1779
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 2: out of time to catch up with aj at Panessa

1780
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 2: was a little tied up after practice, so maybe we'll

1781
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,759
Speaker 2: get him on at a future point in time. Otherwise,

1782
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 2: Steve and I, we'll see you tomorrow at one for

1783

1784
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:32,040
Speaker 2: We'll see you then,
