1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: in the straded fear of normalcy. All right, it's Friday, Yes,

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: we're ready to roll into the weekend. But that's super

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: sexy Bills Jaguar's matchup. The anticipation is palpable. The entire country.

7
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: We gotta put we gotta put lipstick and a whole

8
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: lot of foundation on this one, Steve, even Vegas doesn't

9
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: see it is very attractive. The line is what up

10
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: over fourteen? Is it? It's did I'm not a betting man,

11
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: but if I were, if I were, it would be Yeah, Yeah,

12
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: it's it's where Hey, I'm you know, I find not

13
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: a beg, but if I were, it would be Bills Jaguars.

14
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: That is a bold faced lie. Yeah, it's uh, it's not.

15
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: It's not the sexiest matchup. We get it. Um can't

16
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: control who's sitting on your schedule, though, got to play

17
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: them all and the Bills just have to take it

18
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: like a business trip. It's important here that they do

19
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: not play down to their level of competition. Steve. I

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: was watching a couple of these Jags games. Wolf with

21
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: a capital W. Man. It is rough. Trevor Lawrence has

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: no one to help him. I kind of feel a

23
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: little bad for him because if you watch Trevor Lawrence play,

24
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: you can see pretty quickly that his football acumen is

25
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: out in front of where it is for most route quarterbacks.

26
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 1: I would say Mac Jones is probably in this conversation also,

27
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: But this guy has been tabbed as a future NFL

28
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: quarterback practically out of the womb, since he's like, yeah, twelve, yeah,

29
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: maybe ten, right, you know, all the quarterback camps playing football,

30
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: almost nothing else, even at that, even at that, those

31
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: quarterback camps. When he comes out of those quarterback camps,

32
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks camps are over, he's the name. Everybody talks

33
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: about it. That's the best kid too, that's the kid.

34
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: That's the kid. The only time that didn't happen, he

35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: was at an Elite eleven camp and the quarterback of

36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: the week was justin Fields. It's the only guy that

37
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: he ever played second fiddle two in any of the

38
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, formative years and all quarterbacks schooling. I'll

39
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: say this too, he didn't it didn't ruin him. No,

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: he actually came to embrace it and started to be

41
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: kind of because of his family and because of his

42
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: upbringing or whatever, and because of the kind of kid

43
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: he is, it prepared him rather than spoiled him. I mean,

44
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: you've seen other guys like Ryan Leaf and you've seen

45
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: another you know, some guys that come into the league

46
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: and they're like all of that. You know, Jeff George

47
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: and the Cats, all the guys that come out of there,

48
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: and you know, the Johnny Manzill's of the world. You

49
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: know they where they come out and they're ruined already.

50
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: You know, they come out and they're starting to play

51
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: with really great players all around them, and they can't

52
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: handle the pressure or the role that they're supposed to play.

53
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: This guy used all those experience as a younger kid

54
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: to get ready well, and I think somewhere along that

55
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: quarterback upbringing, because that's really what it was. I mean,

56
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: he was groomed, you know, before he was shaving to

57
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: be an NFL quarterback. And I like that. Well, no,

58
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but I think I think where they

59
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: did Trevor Lawrence right was they very quickly impressed upon

60
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: him the responsibilities of a quarterback beyond the field of play,

61
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: and I think it's part of his upbringing from his

62
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: parents is probably the other and probably the majority of this,

63
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: but I think he has elite leadership traits to go

64
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: along with the elite physical traits that he possesses as

65
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and that is what completes the package, because

66
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: you're not always going to get that sometimes. As Steve mentioned,

67
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: there have been some through the years that stick out

68
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: like a sore thumb, Jeff George being one of them.

69
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: You know, blessed with elite physical ability, but just did

70
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: not have the leadership traits to handle the responsibilities of

71
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: the position that go beyond calling the plays at the

72
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So he's got that and I think

73
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: he will have a very good career. The key here,

74
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: unfortunately for him, is largely out of his control. It's

75
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: about how effectively the Jaguars organization can build it around him,

76
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: because right now there's not a whole lot around him. Obviously,

77
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: the season ending injury to Travis Etn with the Liz

78
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Frank injury in the final preseason game was a costly one.

79
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: But Steve, I'm watching tape and We're gonna go over

80
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: this with Greg Kosel, who'll be on in the second

81
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: hour of the show. They have no one who can

82
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: stretch the field, I know. On our podcast this week,

83
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: Bills by the Numbers, which is out now for your

84
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: selection on all your popular podcast platforms, shameless Plug, we

85
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: talked about the fastest teams in football with Jeremy Fowler

86
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: with Jeremy Fowler from ESPN, who wrote an article with

87
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: Brian Burke on espn dot com why speed is important,

88
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: and then they ranked the teams one to thirty two

89
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: in speed. The Jaguars have no one to stretch the

90
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: field or threaten the defense deep and it has turned

91
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense into a pop gun passing attack. Yeah,

92
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: despite the got this guy who's who's got an arm

93
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: like josh Alan, you know what good is it doing him?

94
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: And it's You're right. It boils down to this. You

95
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: can talk about the speed and the specific guy. What

96
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: it is is that they got to have a great

97
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: offensive line in front of him, and they got to

98
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: give him some weapons on the outside. And I get

99
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: it too. You draft this kid number one over all.

100
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: These touted to be all of this and you know,

101
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: there have been a ton of guys, and it's still

102
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the first round, still pretty much a

103
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: coin flip whether he's gonna be really good or whether

104
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: he's gonna be just okay, or whether he's gonna stink.

105
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: So the Jags don't, you know, they didn't know what

106
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: they were getting in him. They had an idea and

107
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: they were pretty sure and him he was better than

108
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: the other option, at least at the beginning. But right now,

109
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: all they need to do now they get him some

110
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: offensive line and some weapons on the outside. The offensive

111
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: line is just okay, and it's okay when they've got

112
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: their running back in there, who the entire offense runs through.

113
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: He's a question mark for something. But it's all now

114
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: for them. And even now, even through their season and

115
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: I and I get Urban Meyer's first year head coach

116
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they've got an owner and an

117
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: organization that's still trying to like guide them their way

118
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: through it. They've got to go out and find people,

119
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: even like every Tuesday, they should be working guys out

120
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: to find out if they can get better around Trevor

121
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: Lawrence because this guy's the guy. And you know, they

122
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: got to this season. They are what they are, Their

123
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: roster is what it is, but there's no doubt they've

124
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: got to get better around him. He's and while he

125
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: does struggle like any rookie quarterback does, at times, you

126
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: can see it. And it's just like Bill's fans who

127
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: are like all in on Josh right from the get

128
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: coach took a while for other people, no question, but man,

129
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's some people you look at us like, yeah,

130
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: there's no doubt this guy can play. So that's where

131
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are. They got this guy and the roster

132
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: does not is not helping him enough. And then to

133
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: bring you up to speed on the Bill's injury situation

134
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: pertaining to Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Dawson Knox John

135
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: Feliziano ruled out for this week's game by head coach

136
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott earlier today when he addressed the media and

137
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: then Cole Beasley. Coach McDermott said he's optimistic about him

138
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: playing on Sunday. He is going to practice today, probably

139
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: practice over by now, practice today, as did Spencer Brown,

140
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: or at least that was the plan going in. So

141
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: they seem to at least have an outside shot of playing. Actually,

142
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Beasley I think as a good shot of playing despite

143
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: popping up on the injury report on Wednesday with a

144
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: rib injury suffered in the game last week against the Dolphins.

145
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: So it looks as though Beasley will be in the lineup,

146
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: and we'll have to wait and see on Spencer Brown,

147
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: who did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but it

148
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: looks like he was gonna give it a shot today.

149
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: Of course, Payer bumped his shoulder. He's gonna be out.

150
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna be back out there today, given it a

151
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: go as well. He bumped his shoulder in practice I

152
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: guess Wednesday, and did not practice Thursday, so he'll give

153
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: it a go today. But the only two that are

154
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: definitely out of Feliciano and Dawson Knox. Feliciano with the calf.

155
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox obviously with his broken hand, although there's been

156
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: some film released on social media. You know, knoxes on

157
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: the side catching passes, running rounds. Obviously, it's not his

158
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: legs that are hurt. It was his hand, so he

159
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: was catching the ball and carrying it around in that

160
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: broken hand, so it seems like he's coming along. Beasley

161
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: was in a red non contact jersey today and now

162
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm seeing from some of our eyeballs out there

163
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: at practice, getting a couple of texts here that Brown

164
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: was not seen a practice during the media viewing portion.

165
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: Whether he got out there after the media went away,

166
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see, and obviously we'll know

167
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: more importantly what their status is when the Friday injury

168
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: report is released. As we mentioned, James Robinson, the bell

169
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: cow running back for the Jaguars, is a big question

170
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: mark for the Jags on Sunday. He has accounted for

171
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the jaguars total yards from scrimmage

172
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: this season. He's averaging five and a half yards per carry.

173
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: But he came up with a heel injury in the

174
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: last week's game for them and did not return and

175
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: did not practice Wednesday, did not practice Thursday, and we'll

176
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: try to see if we can get an update as

177
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: to whether or not he is practicing today. So he

178
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: is probably I think at best, Steve going to be

179
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: listed as questionable unless he has a remarkable recovery and

180
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: practice is fully today. R SO and talking to Tony

181
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: Bisselli on the show here yesterday, who is the radio

182
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: color analyst for the Jaguars. He basically said, when Robinson

183
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: left the game, they couldn't even move the ball at all.

184
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: So he would be a costly loss because he has

185
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: been the only reliable threat on that Jaguars offense week

186
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: two week. So you know, an already lopsided matchup could

187
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: get down right ugly if he can't play. Yeah, it's

188
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: gonna be. Yeah, when you've taken that guy, it's like

189
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: it's like a little bit like Derek Henry Laeving the Titans.

190
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: They needed that guy and they were he was kind

191
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: of their identity this year. Certainly, maybe going forward he's

192
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: not going to be, but certainly this year when they're

193
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: trying to have at least some success, he's the guy

194
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: that was dependable enough to get it going, and now

195
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: he's not going to be there. It's you know, it's

196
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: that's rough. That's really rough for the Jaguars. And now

197
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they're not going to compete, and you know,

198
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: we're in we're in that awkward situation here in Buffalo.

199
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: Of on the one hand, no, and this is a

200
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: team Buffalo even when if Buffalo plays their best, this

201
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: should be a route. But we've seen the Bills struggle

202
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: for a half against Miami. We've seen him drop a

203
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: game in Tennessee when you know, you played okay, you know,

204
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: and starting out at the beginning of the season and

205
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: playing a Pittsburgh team that has since been you know,

206
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: just okay, lost three straight after they played the Bills,

207
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: So you know that there's stretches in there. If the

208
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Bills don't put their foot on the gas, they look

209
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: mediocre at best. So it's an awkward situation where, yeah,

210
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna win probably, but you know, now we're in

211
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: that realm of reality where it's like, Okay, I want

212
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, I want some style points here. You know,

213
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: look good doing it right? You beat Miami by fifteen.

214
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: It didn't feel like fifteen. Yeah, So you know that's

215
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: what we're kind of the awkward spot we're at. And

216
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: then when the team you're playing that you're supposed to

217
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: beat soundly loses their best player, it's like, right, I

218
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: do have an update on James Robinson here. This is

219
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: from ESPN Nation reporter who covers the Jaguars, Mike Dorocco.

220
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: He says, Jaguars running back James Robinson is questionable for

221
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Bills. Urban Meyers said Robinson will

222
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: move around some on the practice field today see how

223
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: his heel reacts. It's a pain threshold thing, Meyer said,

224
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: But he also said he's a tough, tough cat, so

225
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: we'll have to see where that goes through the course

226
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: of practice today. But it looks like he's going to

227
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: be listed as questionable and probably he'll test it on

228
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: Sunday and see how it feels. It's probably a good

229
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: thing that the Jaguars play on grass because that's a

230
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: more forgiving surface than turf would be. It might be

231
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: just a game time decision, you know, probably what it's

232
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: gonna come down interesting too, and once again we get

233
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: into that thing of how the Jaguars are going to

234
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: handle this injury with their one of their best players,

235
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: and how the Bills would ultimately handle it with their

236
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: best players. They've got Dawson Knox Feliciano out, but they

237
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: also have Jordan Poyer and Colt Beasley questionable or not doubtful,

238
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: but maybe questionable. So it's you know, and we had

239
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: this conversation going in We've had a time and time

240
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: again about the Tennessee Titans, where these guys are trying

241
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: to nurse injuries and keep playing and how wise that is.

242
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: You got to know the pressure is really on in

243
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and sometimes that colors their judgment for coaching staffs. Oh,

244
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: we also want to remind you that it is tailgate Friday.

245
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: So whatever your tailgate plans are, whether they are down

246
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, if you're making the trip to the game,

247
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: or they're in the confines of your driveway your home,

248
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: we want to know. So send your tailgate plans into us.

249
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: We'll be covering those at about half an hour. And

250
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: then it is also obl fan mail Bag Friday. Any

251
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: question you have on the bills of the league large,

252
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: send him on in and Steve and I will do

253
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: our best to answer them. Or you can give us

254
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: a call at eight oh three five fifty one eighty

255
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two, five fifty and we'll go to

256
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: the phones now because we've got a couple of people

257
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: waiting there and we'll lead off with Earl in Wellsville. Earl,

258
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey,

259
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, we've been seeing it, I'd like get

260
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: Steve's opinion, what do you think or the Aaron Rodgers

261
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: situation not being vaccinated, And my honest opinion, I don't

262
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: think he should get away with it, but I just

263
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: was curious to see what you guys thought about that. Yeah,

264
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: what do you think he's getting away with Earl? Well,

265
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: I think you know, with him lyon and you know,

266
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: look at our fans have to be vaccinated even to

267
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,359
Speaker 1: get to the game. You know, here he is shakings

268
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: giving him group hugs and all that kind of stuff,

269
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: and not not from being actually said to him. Yet.

270
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll be penomized for this or that

271
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: to be enough? That's a really good point or I

272
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: hadn't really thought of it that way. Fans got to

273
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: be vaccinated come to games here. I don't know if

274
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: that's the case in Greeners don't because they're union protected, right,

275
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: players don't have to be, but fans do. And you're right.

276
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: I think what he said in August about being immunized

277
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: was misleading at best. The media could have followed up

278
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: and said, what do you mean by immunized? They could

279
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: have followed up, but I think they felt he meant

280
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: the same thing as vaccinated. Right. Look, I'll be the

281
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: first to tell you I'm not an epidemiologist, and neither

282
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: is any other media member. Right, But if you wanted clarity,

283
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: you could have followed up. They didn't. They just assumed

284
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: he was being honest with them. Here's the only thing,

285
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: because if I get it, Earl, this is different than

286
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: what football talk is for head coach. But head coaches

287
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: are notoriously disingenuous because they don't want to give away

288
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: competitive secrets, so they have just flat out lie to

289
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: the media all the time. So if you're gonna penalize

290
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: guys for lying to the media, it's nobody will be

291
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: able to line up on Sunday. So there's that. Secondly,

292
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: but I get this is a different topic and I

293
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: understand the difference. But here's the thing as well. He

294
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: can lie to the media all he wants because because

295
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: he's not compelled to tell the truth about his own

296
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: personal health decisions or football stuff for that matter either.

297
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: But the only way they can punish him at this point,

298
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: when you get right down to it, is if they

299
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: broke protocols on what a vaccinated player can do as

300
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: opposed to an unvaccinated player, And if Aaron Rodgers was

301
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: acting like a vaccinated player when he was not considered

302
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: vaccinated by the NFL, they knew he wasn't vaccinated. Yeah,

303
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: they reject. Then they rejected his appeal right to be

304
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: considered a vaccinated player based on the work that he

305
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 1: had done with his homeopathic doctor to get his antibody

306
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: levels up right. So they knew he was not vaccinated.

307
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: So if they go back and they can do this,

308
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: they'll go back and look at the cameras inside the

309
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: facility of the Green Bay Packers, They'll look at the

310
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: meeting rooms, all of that stuff. They'll keep track of it.

311
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: They'll go back and if he breached the protocols of

312
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: the COVID world inside the Packers facility and then came

313
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: down with COVID, even if it didn't result, even if

314
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: he got COVID someplace else, but if he broke those protocols,

315
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: then he will be he will be punished. This happ

316
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: This has happened on a number of occasons before to

317
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: other teams. You know Tennessee Titans, the Denver Broncos, most

318
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: notably you know where all their quarterbacks were held out

319
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: of a game last year and they had to they

320
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: had to line up a wide receiver at quarterback. So

321
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: all of that stuff is into this. So that's the

322
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: way that they can punish Aaron Rodgers, if indeed he

323
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: does deserve it's not for what he said to the media,

324
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: not giving us the impression that he was vaccinated when

325
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: he was when he said immunized. They can't punish him

326
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: for that. I will tell you this. He did appear

327
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: on the Pat McAfee show this week, just this morning,

328
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: and he said that quote. He's not some sort of

329
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: anti vax flat earther. He just did a lot of research.

330
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: He also said he has an allergy to an ingredient

331
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: in mr NA vaccines. He said that only left him

332
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine as an option, and

333
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: he said he didn't like the side effects that the

334
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: Johnson and Johnson vaccine might present. So he claims that

335
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: he would have explained this in full had he been

336
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: asked a follow up question back in August, which is

337
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: what I suggested that could have been done, but now

338
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: adds he wants to be a father, and there's no

339
00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: long term research on sterility and fertility regarding vaccines, so

340
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: that's where he has left it in terms of why

341
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: he decided not to take one of the mRNA vaccines,

342
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: which is the Fiser and the Madurna vaccine, so and

343
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: didn't prefer the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, claiming side effects

344
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: as the reason he turned turned to a blind eye

345
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: to that. So those are some of his most recent comments.

346
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: You can take them for what they're worth. The bottom

347
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: line is he's out a minimum of ten days. He

348
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: might not just miss this week's game. As we had

349
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: Judy Batista from NFL Network, who's had her ear to

350
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: the ground on the vaccine front and talks to doctor

351
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: Sills every week in an interview that airs on NFL

352
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: Network Live every afternoon on Thursday, he might miss the

353
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: next game. So yeah, I couldn't miss two games here.

354
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: It's an outside chance. We'll see, but it depends on

355
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: if he's symptom free, and then it runs the ten days.

356
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's gonna be back in the back

357
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: of the siddle pretty quickly. I h this thing about

358
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: go back to the James Robinson, running back for the Jaguars,

359
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: who's questionable this week because of his heel. Urban Meyer

360
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: characterized it as a pain threshold thing we're talking about

361
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: taking shots of Listen, I got, I got. I took

362
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: an injection on a number of occasions so that I

363
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: could play. Heel's gotta be a tough place to shoot up, though,

364
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: because shoot that up and if you get the wrong dose,

365
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: your footstead The criterions pretty pretty clear and pretty self explanatory.

366
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: If there's no chance, if it's not a structural integrity injury,

367
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: and certainly pain is the only problem that you have

368
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: with it. You can take You can take a shot.

369
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: And what they do is and is this's always bothered

370
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: me as a player. They'd give you a shot, but

371
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: they don't only give you a shot so that it

372
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: would like dull it you still felt it was I

373
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: was like, how about a little more because it still

374
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: kind of bothers me, And they like tap you on

375
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: the shore and said play well because they don't want

376
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: you to be numbed, because then if if something else

377
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: goes wrong right in that area or if you get whatever,

378
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: you won't feel it. Yeah, So then you get then

379
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: you're like really hurt. So they only give you enough

380
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: to pain from eight to like four. Yeah. The only

381
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: problem with that and the other the other thing that

382
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: I think a lot of those doctors consider too, is

383
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: if you give, if you're given too much, there's a

384
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: chance you don't have enough feeling in whatever you're dealing with,

385
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: and then you can't use it properly. What I mean,

386
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: if it's your foot right and you numb the guy's

387
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: foot and he can't even you know what I mean.

388
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: It happened, Yeah it was. It happened to me. But

389
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: it happened to me with an ankle and and tending

390
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: in my knee um hamstring, which wasn't a muscle, it

391
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: was whatever. So I had a couple of times and

392
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: the yeah, it's first of all, it's zero fun to

393
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: have done. It's it's not just like look the other way.

394
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: You'll feel a little pinch. Yeah, it ain't that. It

395
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: ain't that. Uh, But I you know, you do it

396
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: because if you trust the doctors, you ask them the

397
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: right questions and they say, here's what, here's what we're thinking,

398
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: here's what it is, and here's why, and here's the

399
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: whole thing. But to me, James Robertson Robinson on a heel,

400
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: if it's strictly is a pain threshold, they'll medicate that

401
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: and that guy's gonna play. Yeah, I mean, heel's a

402
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: tough spot though, I will say, but if you can't run,

403
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: you can't play period. Yeah, if you can't run, you

404
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: can't play. And even though you're up on your toes

405
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: when you're running and we're talking about this guy's heel,

406
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: you gotta stop, you gotta cut. The heels gonna hit

407
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: the ground at some point, right exactly. You can't get around.

408
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: It's just no getting around. And I had that, you know,

409
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: the the Travis atn the kid that got lost cost

410
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: me ten weeks in nineteen ninety five, ten weeks I

411
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: was out and it was or maybe it's ninety six.

412
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know of the two and I think it's

413
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: ninety six, ten weeks. And it's just brutal, brutal. Let's

414
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: go back to the phones. We go to DJ in Connecticut. DJ,

415
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hi,

416
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: thanks for taking McCall as. I always learn a lot

417
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: from you guys. I had two questions, primarily for Steve

418
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: on practice. They run, but maybe sixty seventy plays on

419
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: average in a game? Well, well, they practice every single

420
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: play the week before. Probably not and here's the thing too,

421
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: they'll probably yeah, they don't have time because here's the thing,

422
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: they'll probably run sixty seventy plays in the game. They

423
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: may only repeat. They'll repeat less than ten, less than ten,

424
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: and and and if they repeat a play, it will

425
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: be with different personnel and out a different formation. They'll

426
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: run the same play, but it'll be out of different formation,

427
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: different players running it, and they'll walk through a bunch

428
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: of other plays that they don't have time to get to.

429
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: And Steve, maybe you should explain. Also, Thursday's usually the

430
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: padded practice Wednesday, and Thursday is Wednesday's install and then Thursday,

431
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: Friday's usually read zone two minute, right, Yeah, exactly, so

432
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: you get, you get. They'll run through situationally. Yeah, they'll

433
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: run through all the short yardage and goal line plays

434
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: because there only be like ten of them in a game. Tops,

435
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: they'll run through all of those on a Friday. But

436
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: when you're first and ten second and eleven second and twelve,

437
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: what happens is invariably you'll run through the plays in

438
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: your practice that you think you're gonna you're pretty sure

439
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get this look against. Well, then they come

440
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: out with a game plan. That's like, that's not what

441
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: we expected. So then you got to go to an

442
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: whole bunch of plays that you didn't really kind of

443
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: what happened last week exactly. So that's what you're looking at.

444
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: That's why guys have to That's why you gotta be

445
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: well versed in the offense. You're gonna have to run

446
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: a play here and there that you haven't run maybe

447
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: in a month or maybe ever, only you've only seen

448
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: it run by your teammates and another you know, in

449
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: situations on the practice field. So that's what Yeah, that's

450
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: the difficult part of it, no question, it's good. That's

451
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: a good question. DJ. Quickly, before we go to break,

452
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: there's the Odell Beckham junior situation. He has been released

453
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: by the Cleveland Browns as that relationship obviously soured in

454
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: the last week and he will no longer be a

455
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland brown He will be out there to claim off

456
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: waivers effective Monday, so we'll see where that goes. I

457
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: know that people are wondering if the Bills would be interested.

458
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: I would be very surprised if that happened, because my

459
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: answer is, where do you put him? I mean, you've

460
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: you're four deep at receiver with really good players. I

461
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: know you're always trying to upgrade, and that's the mantra,

462
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: but I don't know if that's a fit, and I'm

463
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent certainly makes you better, right, based

464
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: on the strong culture of this locker room, I think

465
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean they said it was Odell Beckham's dad that

466
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: suddenly got a Twitter account and started putting out video

467
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: footage of him not getting the ball thrown to him

468
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: when he's wide open from Baker Mayfield. I have a

469
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: hard time believing it's Odell's dad. I think it was Odell,

470
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, under the veil of his dad's name, putting

471
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: stuff out there on social media to make a teammate

472
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: look bad. I don't know if that guy fits the

473
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: culture here. Yeah, come to mention the fact the bills

474
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: are twenty fifth in the waiver order. So I just

475
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: don't see it happens. He is. He comes with baggage,

476
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: There's no question about it, no question about it. He

477
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: was often injured the last year, although that wasn't you know,

478
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: that hasn't been the hallmark of his career. And he's

479
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: twenty seven. He's not an old guy, but he comes

480
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: with some understanding about what he's been through and what

481
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: he's caused in his career off the field. Got traded

482
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: out of New York to Cleveland, and he was a

483
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: productive player for the New York Giants, and they still

484
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: got rid of him. And now in Cleveland, it has

485
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: done nothing but at best gone sideways. We have to

486
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we return it is

487
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: the latest installment of Tasker's Teammate. We will put the

488

Speaker 1: questions to Steve see if he can recognize the clues

489
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: and identify which former teammate of his we are describing

490
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,960

522
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,479

00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: do it? They they they put you through the ringer hunt. Steve. Oh,

529
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't, Yeah, I don't. I don't make it easy

530
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: on to Marlow. I really don't. Um, I got somebody

531
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: to see him sweat. I got somebody in one clue,

532
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: and they've been taking it out on me ever since

533
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: I was I did have a I did have a

534
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: good for you. Yeah, I did have a good in

535
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: for him. Later because one of the clues I had

536
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: near the end was one might say when I was

537
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: on the field, it was dime time because you were

538
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: the dime linebacker here for a while. I mean that

539
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: was like your deal. I mean he played on special

540
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: teams too, but like Ted Cotrell and Wade, they love

541
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: putting you out there in the dime package. Right. Yeah,

542
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: I learned how to, I guess, find your niche or

543
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: even were coaches of find something of a specialty for

544
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: you to be in as a player. In terms of

545
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: getting guys that have specialties and can handled those high

546
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: pressure situations, they are very critical anytime a third down happens.

547
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: It's such an integral part of a series and plays

548
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: and moving down the field or end or stopping someone

549
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: and having that specialty. Uh, it wasn't always an easy job.

550
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: And in terms of getting the flow and you have

551
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: to know so many things and just to be put

552
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: out there for that one play and come back out.

553
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: Put out there for that one play and come back out.

554
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't always easy. But I was able to flourish,

555
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: and the trust and the coaches trusted at me to

556
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: be able to handle those high pressure situations. So you

557
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: came in and you got a ninety four. Then the

558
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: next year they get Bryce Pop who comes in and

559
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: he's like defensive player of the Year in the first

560
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: year with opposite Bruce and so the you know, the

561
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: defense really started to m came in for a season,

562
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: that's right. And Ted was there as well, right, Ted

563
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: came in in, uh Ted Washington set six or something

564
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: right there in the beginning. So you you kind of

565
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: hit that defense just at the right time they started

566
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: peeking in that ninety eight ninety nine year and you

567
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: guys really had it going on. Yeah, And you know

568
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: the other thing I would say, of course, um, I

569
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: love every single year UM being on the team, but

570
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: my very first year as a rookie. UM, in terms

571
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: of linebackers and coaching, really the older guys from Derrek Tyley,

572
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: Canadius Bennett, Marthmatox, those guys did more coaching than the

573
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator did. Um. He really did not believe playing

574
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: too many rookies at all. You talk meeting room. Oh no,

575
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: oh no, that's right. Walk Corey just put the film

576
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: all and said, hey, guys, let me know when you

577
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: won't be to stop it or replay it. That's what

578
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: he would play. That's all he did, just and we

579
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: would always be the first one out of the meetings.

580
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: So a lot of times the senior Statesman linebackers on

581
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: the team, they were the ones who coached a lot

582
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: with me and Sam Man because we didn't learn too

583
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: much from Walk. Walk would just have to pick in

584
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: his mouth and sit back and just let it play

585
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: and just say I'll see y'all, see y'all tomorrow for

586
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: day game. What's been learned too much? Yeah, you know,

587
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: but the next two years were different. When when Wade

588
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: came in, I think for the Court eight, it just

589
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: opened up Wade and take a trail opened my eyes

590
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: up to a whole nother world. Whole nother world. Yeah,

591
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm curious, Marlow, your thoughts on how much the sub

592
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: package game has changed in this league from the time

593
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: when you play to now, Because you know, Dime and

594
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: Nicol was probably about a third of the snaps on defense,

595
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: maybe a little higher, and now the Bills led the

596
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: league in nickel package of the snaps last year for

597
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: the Bills. Are you just fascinated as to how much

598
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: the sub package part of defense has changed since you played? Well, now,

599
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: it's really is the league itself has evolved into passing.

600
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that it's evolved more for

601
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: the safety side and for the big game entertainment excitement

602
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: long passes as at the same time keeping as safe

603
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: as possible for players even when down the field penalties

604
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: or not even being able to put your hands on

605
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: guys just that five yard range, protecting the quarterback, protecting

606
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. So that now allows for offensive coordinators

607
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: to just start airing that ball out because one more

608
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: than likely they're gonna get a penalty, they're gonna get

609
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: just the opportunity. And also the safety side of it

610
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: as well to have a substantial game with pass interference.

611
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: And the way the scheme goes now with games is

612
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: that the sub package is not only on the long yardage,

613
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: especially now with the evolution of quarterbacks like josh Aladack run.

614
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: You really can get your quarterback in there and act

615
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: even act like you're gonna go out there with four

616
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: wilde receivers and send them down the field and just

617
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: run your quarterback once they go down the field, have

618
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback just run, and it puts a defense in

619
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: such a dichotomy and term of trying to pick out

620
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: tendencies that you a lot of times you really have

621
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: to have almost six defensive backs out there or on

622
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: call at the instance to be ready to go. Right. Yeah,

623
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: it's the game has evolved certainly into it's a throwing league.

624
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: And the you never hear about, well, you do from

625
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: fans once a while because some of them are still

626
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: caught up in what it used to be. But it's

627
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: not about running and stopping the run. It's more about

628
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: pass protection and completion percentage, and it's and for defenses,

629
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: it's about getting after the quarterback and creating turnovers. And

630
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 1: so it's not about run stop the run. It's about

631
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: pass rushing turnovers basically defensively, and and for the offense,

632
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: man just convert for third downs and you're gonna be gold.

633
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: Sub package has almost become base. I mean that's really

634
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: what it is. Absolutely it's crazy to see that. Even

635
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: another thing I wanted to bring up, even me and

636
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: my evolution, even being on the Bills, it really came about.

637
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: Uh really started with special teams of course. Uh. Bruce

638
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: de haven Um really took it a liking to me,

639
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: and it was really um during the preseason. Um, I

640
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: think I might have got a chance to play my

641
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: rookie year last game and I think it was Indianapolis,

642
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: and I think at that time we were not even

643
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: going to be in the playoffs. In ninety four, I

644
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: got a chance to play, did all right? Um? I

645
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: broke my arm in the game and I kept playing.

646
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: I didn't even know it until had the end of

647
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: the year physical and just played went on and played

648
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: with a broken arm. Of course it was hurting, but

649
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: my first alf playing rookie year, I was not coming,

650
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, played when I don't played with a broken arm,

651
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: but giving them an all out effort whenever to having

652
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: out aptunity you beat out there on the field, and

653
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: Bruce really took a bruay. Havent took a liking only

654
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: to me a few other guys, And I learned so

655
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: much from Steve and from so many other guys like

656
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: Mark Pike and Phil Hanson that they gave they all,

657
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: even when some of the superstars really didn't. Honestly, they

658
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to be on special teams. And for me,

659
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: each and every opportunity I'm on the field, I'm giving

660
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 1: my maximum. I don't don't care even if his goal,

661
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: the ball is being punted out of the end zone.

662
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to run my hardest each and every time

663
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: because you'd never know. Yeah right, Honesty's well. Bruce always

664
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: liked an honest day's effort at you. Is that. I mean,

665
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. Listen, Marlow, we appreciate you

666
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: jumping of. We're glad Steve got you in like the

667
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: first three clues. That was good. He got you quick.

668
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: So a good job, Steve, and we'll catch up with

669
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: you down the line. Marl, look good to see you, man,

670
00:40:55,080 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: Take care all right, appreciate you likewise, I appreciated the opportunity. Man. Yeah,

671
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: that's number fifty eight Marlo Perry, the dime linebacker. He

672
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: was the dime guy. Um and he's right, man, that's

673
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: gotta be tough. Like you're sitting there on the sidelines

674
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: and you know, now it's third and long they called dime,

675
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: and now you're out on the field. I mean, if

676
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: you get, if you get the third down stop, he's

677
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: warmed up for special teams on the next play, you know,

678
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: punt return. But he's he could be sitting over there

679
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: a while, you know, because third and short, he's not

680
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: coming on the field. It was just different back then

681
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: when the subpack, it was all different and there were

682
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: it seemed like it seems like now. I don't know,

683
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: but it seems like there was more of that then

684
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: than there is now. You know, base defense, they play

685
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: at ninety one percent of the snaps. Yeah you're talking

686
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: about Yeah, you're talking about only out of one hundred

687
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: and fifty, you're talking about six plays that are not

688
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: Yeah that or not. Nickel like a good season for him,

689
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: he'd have like thirty tackles because the number of snaps

690
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: defensively were so few and far between, and very often

691
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: he was doing coverage. He wasn't anywhere near the line.

692
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: He was covering a right time he gets the time

693
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: he gets tackles, if the guy they throw it to

694
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: his guy, yeah, um yeah. It's it's so hard to

695
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: be ready. I think that's one of the most challenging

696
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: things anything for all pro athletes is if you have

697
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: a role to play. It's like the role I played

698
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: and role Marlowe played, and there was a thousand other

699
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: guys just like us around the league in history standing

700
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: over there and staying engaged in the game when there's

701
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: so much going on, and then to go out and

702
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: play at a high level when you when you're cold

703
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: or unexpectedly just trying to stay warm. Yeah, you try

704
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: to stay warm, or you try stay limber, you try

705
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: to stay lose, You tries to engage, you try and

706
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: stay ahead of it mentally, like when it's if this happens,

707
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm in kind of thing. And then sometimes when you think, yes,

708
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm going in, they say no, no no, no, we're gonna

709
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: do something else. It's like, you know, um, that is

710
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: for so many pro athletes who aren't you know one

711
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: of those guys like an Aaron Donald or Bruce Smith

712
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: or you know one of those guys. Um, that's a

713
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: real challenge. If you find that niche, you can hang

714
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: around a while. And that's what he did well. There

715
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: are worse ways to make a living, no question, but

716
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: it's I think that's the most challenging part of all

717
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: of it is to be ready and to take advantage

718
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: of opportunities when those opportunities are few and far between

719
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: and unexpected when they happen. So that was a good task.

720
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Your teammate Marlo Perry was the answer. Steve got it

721
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: on the fourth clue. Good job, Steve. We'll take a

722
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: break here, but when we come back it is time

723
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: for tailgate. Friday. What are your tailgate plans for the weekend,

724
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: Whether you're making the trip down to Jacksonville or you're

725
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: hanging out and your driveway with the neighbors. Let us

726
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: know what you're doing and what you're cooking up. We'll

727
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: get to those next here on One Bill's Live, presented

728
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back

729
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: to One Bills Live. Before we get to tailgate Friday,

730
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 1: The Friday injury report is out for the Bills. Spencer

731
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Brown is out in addition to John Feliciano and Dawson Knox,

732
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer and Cole Beasley listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

733
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: So that's the situation there. So it looks like Darryl

734
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: Williams will continue at right tackle. That means that for

735
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: all intents and purposes, Cody Ford will be at right guard,

736
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,959
Speaker 1: presumably he'll go back into that spot that he manned

737
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: the first two weeks of the season, and Nike Bucker

738
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: will remain at left guard. Knowing that Feliciano is out

739
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: and Daryl Williams has to spell Spencer Brown at right tackle, yeah,

740
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley and Jordan Poorier are the ones who are questionable. Brown, Feliciano,

741
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: and Knox are out and just like they well, just

742
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: like Brown was out again, knoxes out again. And Feliciano

743
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: and we've known that since, you know, basically we saw

744
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: him hobble off the field last week. Cole Beasley questionable,

745
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer questionable. Those are the ones that are going

746
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: to be the difference makers. Yeah, and even so, I

747
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: think Powler's even the most. I think we've got enough

748
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: depth that wide out that cold beat. We'd miss Cole Beasley,

749
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: no question about it. You'd miss him, particularly given the

750
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: game he had last week. But Poyer, the two of

751
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: those safeties, not having both of them kind of scares me.

752
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: Time now though, for Tailgate Friday, presented by high Mark

753
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Western New York, the official

754
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: health plan of the Buffalo Bills, here are some plans

755
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: for the weekend. Bill says, I'm sitting at home and

756
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: watching the game on TV with the kids. It's crock

757
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: pot meal season, and I'll just tell you it most

758
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: certainly is this is the time of year when I

759
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: start busting out the chili in the crock pot. So

760
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: sometimes I will brown the meet up first. Then I

761
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: will throw it into the crock pot with everything else

762
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: because that allows me to drain the grease out of

763
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: the meat. It's a little healthier that way. Um, not

764
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: always as flavorful, but I use the seasoning to take

765
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: care of that chili in a crock pot, man, because

766
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: then you could just leave it out. It can stay warm.

767
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: You can have a bowl in the first half, you

768
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: want another bowl in the second half, chili a week later.

769
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: It's like it just never it gets better, is it.

770
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: Chili is so universal, Like it's so versatile, you know,

771
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: it really is. You can use it. You can you

772
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: can dip a hunk of bread in there, you can

773
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: roll out the nacho, make it your own way to

774
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: make it, make your chili the way you want to make.

775
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: It's very personal. Yeah, and it's I'm sure all of

776
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: it's good. And if you like it, you ay, that's

777
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: the only thing matters. Because you can tell people what

778
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: you put in they're like, and you know, it's like,

779
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: I don't care what you think. Basically, one of our

780
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: co workers, Jimmy, makes a white bean chili and it

781
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: is killer. Yeah, I mean it's really good. I started, Um,

782
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't a big fan of having the pinto beans

783
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,720
Speaker 1: in it, but I like pint, so I started putting

784
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: the beans in refried Oh, noka chili. I just put

785
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: a can of refried beans in it. Can't really Yeah,

786
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: how does that go? Does it make it a little

787
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: more pasty or that makes it? No? Because the thickens

788
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: it up, I would think, Yeah, that's the sauce, the broth,

789
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 1: whatever makes it makes it thinner, you know, it thins

790
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: it up out because it's warm enough. Yeah, because it's

791
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: warm enough and it stays warm, you know. Yeah, Yeah,

792
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: so it does its initially a little bit, but you

793
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: still get the pro you know, the good stuff from

794
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: the I like doing that. I'm big into that these days.

795
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: Uh to Shanna, We're gonna have to find out what

796
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: her address is because I like what they got cooking

797
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 1: up here, fried battered Cajun shrimp with a zesty cocktail sauce.

798
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: For pregame, sign me up? Yeah? Then for the game,

799
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: croc pot roast beef sandwiches on Castanzo's rolls. Yeah, there's

800
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: that crock pot again. I'm telling you, man, croc pots

801
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: are underrated. Very they really are, very This is the

802
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: time of the year. I mean, I got it. I

803
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: would tend to believe it's a northern thing. And I

804
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: think too, because you can barbecue all winter down south,

805
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 1: they don't use crock pots. See, I like it because

806
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you got stuff, you have a light,

807
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: you have a lunch or whatever, you have everything out,

808
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: so you get instance, you do the croc box at lunch,

809
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: turn it on low, and you can clean the kitchen up,

810
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: and the kitchen clean for supper. You don't have to

811
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: clean it up after you cook supper at night, right,

812
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: because it's already it's been cooking from like five. And

813
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: have a setting on my crock pot that's keep warm.

814
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: Do you have to keep warm setting? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

815
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah, because you're worried when chili. You don't

816
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: want to leave it too hot because then you've got

817
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: evaporation about losing it. Put it on keep warm. Yeah yeah, yeah, perfect. Yeah.

818
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm totally with you, all right, I'm a big crock

819
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: pot fan. That is Tailgate Friday, once again presented by

820
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: high Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York,

00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,799

Speaker 1: the co host of esp NFL Matchup Show. It is

826
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: the one and only Greg co Sell joining us next

827
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalaid of Health,

828
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Down at a Steve Tasker who

829
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: has been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He

830
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

831
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the strated here

832
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: of normalcy. All right, here we are our number two,

833
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker on a Friday. And you know

834
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,720
Speaker 1: what that means. Our number two on a Friday means

835
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: Greg co Sell, senior producer from NFL Films, also co

836
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: host of the NFL Matchup Show on ESPN. And uh

837
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 1: I think we have to add journalist to his title

838
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: now now that he's doing some writing for the thirty

839
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: third team dot com Mike Tannenbaum site. So uh yeah,

840
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: he's doing it all. He's he's he's a multi media juggernaut.

841
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: So Greg, how are you doing well? You know? And

842
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: the problem with that Chris Is, there's only twenty four

843
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: hours in a day, so it seems to suffer as

844
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: the sleep aspect of my life. Yeah, you can sleep

845
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: when you can rest up. You can rest up in March. Yeah. Yeah.

846
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: Lets let's begin here, though, Greg, because Trevor Lawrence, well,

847
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: I think he is making progress. There is really no

848
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: help around him, and there is a chance there might

849
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,240
Speaker 1: even be less if James Robinson can't play on Sunday.

850
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: It seems like a monumental task that he has been

851
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: thrust into here in Jacksonville. Yeah, I think that's pretty fair,

852
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: and I think I think Lawrence has has progressed. I

853
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: don't think he played particularly well this past week. This

854
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it. I love when people

855
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: say if someone regressing. He's a rookie quarterback, so you

856
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: expect there to be ups and downs, highs and lows.

857
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: I think for the most part, he's improved as the

858
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: season has progressed. He's not working with very much. It's

859
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: it's a very slow offense. There's no real explosiveness to

860
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: this offense at all. So it's going to be a

861
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: process in Jacksonville, and Lawrence is at the point where

862
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: you don't know from week to week due to him

863
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: being a rookie and doing to the rest of the

864
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: rest of the team as well, whether you're going to

865
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: get a B plus performance or a D performance. You

866
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: just you don't really know, and they don't really know.

867
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,720
Speaker 1: How important is James Robinson to this album. We talked

868
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: about maybe he might be you know, the entire offense

869
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 1: may run through him because of you know what they're

870
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: trying trying to protect Lawrence and that kind of thing.

871
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 1: How important and is James Robinson, Well, Steve you know this.

872
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: You know, when you can run the ball with meaningful

873
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: production and some kind of volume, that really helps a

874
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: young quarterback. And there was a stretch for maybe two

875
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: or three games where Robinson was a factor. They ran

876
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: the ball with some consistency, and that's when Lawrence actually

877
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: looked like he was playing better. If he's out this week,

878
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: I guess it'll be Carlos Hide. But Robinson has been

879
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good back for them, but they've not had

880
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: a consistent run game and that's been a problem. And

881
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: the other issue really that shows up to me on

882
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: tape is their old line. I mean, this is an

883
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: old line for the most part, I guess right guard

884
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: now they're playing a backup. But for the most part,

885
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: this has been an old line that's been together for

886
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: two three years, and I don't think they played particularly well.

887
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't fancy myself an offensive line guru, but I

888
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: don't think for a group that's been together, they play

889
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: particularly well. Coverage wise for them too, I know at

890
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: times they've had Shack Griffin travel with the number one

891
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: receiver for the other team. This week he did against Metcalfe.

892
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: I would think he would do that against Diggs. You

893
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: do think he would do it against Diggs because I

894
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, there's been some I mean, it's been

895
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 1: a mixed bag. It's been some good, some not so

896
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: good for him when he's been put into that role.

897
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: The reason I would think they would do that Chris

898
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: is again I can only speak to what they did

899
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 1: last week. When teams are not very good, changes get

900
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: made in personnel almost on a weekly basis, so I

901
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: can't say what exactly what they'll do on Sunday. But

902
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: last week their outside corners were Griffin and the rookie

903
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell, and they played Ford, who's essentially as safety

904
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: as the slot corner which was really interesting because they

905
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: still have herned It on the roster. Who got snaps

906
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: last week, some snaps in the slot, but he played

907
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: more in the dying So Ford, who's a safety, was

908
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: really the slot corner. So given that Campbell's a rookie,

909
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 1: the corner opposite Griffin, I would think that Griffin and

910
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: would travel with Diggs. Now he may not travel when

911
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: Diggs is inside, but I think when Diggs lines up

912
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: outside that Griffin would play him earlier in the earlier

913
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: in the in the week, urban Meyer admitted that they

914
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: like to play man a lot and they just didn't

915
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: have the horses to do it enough. And they're starting

916
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: to play more zone. How far has that transition gone. Ah, Well,

917
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 1: it's funny you say that, because through seven games, if

918
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: you just look at the seven games as an aggregate,

919
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: they've been a predominant single high safety defense. Cover one

920
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 1: has been their highest percentage coverage, but it is followed

921
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: by Cover three, and they will now start they're starting

922
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: to play more Cover two. So that's a fair I mean,

923
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: obviously urban Meyer knows his team, so I'm not saying

924
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: he's that's a fair statement. I was about to say

925
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 1: that as if he doesn't know, But yeah, I think

926
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the horses to line up

927
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: consistently and play cover one because Steve, as you know,

928
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: cover one, there's an awful lot of routes in which

929
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: that post safety really is not a factor at all. Greg,

930
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: this number kind of stuck out to me. And we

931
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: know there's not a lot of good numbers for Jacksonville

932
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: this year, but only two takeaways. Yeah, I know they're

933
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: they're lacking in terms of pure speed and matchup ability.

934
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: But do you attribute that more to an inability for

935
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: their pass rush to get heat on the quarterback or

936
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: is it some other predominant factor that you think is

937
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: not putting them in position to take the ball away

938
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: more often? Yeah, and that's turnovers to me, And I'm

939
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 1: just being honest with you, guys, that's a hard question

940
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: for me to answer because even if you blitz, and

941
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: by the way they're blitz percentage is pretty good, they're

942
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: not a team that doesn't blitz the quarterback. So you're

943
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,479
Speaker 1: dealing with a team that I've seen on tape both

944
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: zone pressures, man pressures. I don't think they're particularly good

945
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: at it, Chris, but it's not as if they don't

946
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: try to play with some aggression and turnovers are a

947
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: crazy thing. I mean, you know, I'm not a coach,

948
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sure coaches will tell you that you can

949
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: coach in a way that maybe produces more turnovers. You know,

950
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the game last night

951
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 1: where Darius Leonard literally punched the ball out of Michael

952
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: Carter's hands. I know that that stuff is kind of

953
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: coached at times, but there's no guarantee. I mean, he

954
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: could have tried to do that and missed by half

955
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: an inch and it wouldn't have been a fumble. You know,

956
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: So I never really know exactly how to deal with turnovers. Yeah,

957
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: so why don't we Why don't we take it from

958
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: this angle? You mentioned how they haven't been shy about

959
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: trying to pressure. How effective has their pass rush being?

960
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: I mean they're twenty seventh and sacks per play. I

961
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: know that's just one number, but I mean, from what

962
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: you've seen on film, do they at least hurry throws

963
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: forced quarterbacks into ill advised decisions? Can they at least

964
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: do that if they're not getting the quarterback on the ground,

965
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: I would say they are not doing that as well

966
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: as they would like to be doing that. Okay, So yeah,

967
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 1: and look well yeah, I mean one of the reasons

968
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: you're pressure, as you guys know, it's not necessarily to

969
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: get sacks. Obviously, if that's the result, particularly if it's

970
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: throw down, you're thrilled, but you're trying to speed up

971
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You're trying to force him into mistakes. If

972
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: you do blitz at times, you also know where the

973
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: ball has to go based on then how you play

974
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: coverage in tandem with your pressure. So there's all kinds

975
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: of ways in which you can create issues for an offense.

976
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't think they're really good at it at this point.

977
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: You had a nice article in the thirty third team

978
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: that erode You asked the question Josh Allen maybe didn't

979
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: ask a question, he said, Josh Allen may. The title

980
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen may be on his way to becoming

981
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: the NFL's best quarterback. That would probably be in print

982
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: the first time I've ever heard anybody say that. He's

983
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: so polarizing, and has been throughout the first couple of years. Now,

984
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: I think everybody has to nod to the fact that

985
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is a very good quarterback in the National

986
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: Football It didn't look like he was ever going to

987
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: get there when he was in college. He had all

988
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: these question marks. But I think he's answered those doubters.

989
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: And I get what you said about Josh. I want

990
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: to equate that in the first couple of years of

991
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's career to Trevor Lawrence, a kid who's coming

992
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: into what was also a team that was you know,

993
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: you go to a bad team when you get drafted

994
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: that high. Where do he's you know, because they're both

995
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: gifted guys. But Trevor Lawrence comes in as a can't miss.

996
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen came in as a probably will miss. Isn't

997
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: it funny how that works? Yeah, well it's funny. I

998
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: actually wrote in June. Peter King had asked me to

999
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: be one of the guest writers in his Football Morning

1000
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: in America column. So I wrote in June that Josh

1001
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: Allen is the most physically gifted quarterback in the league,

1002
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: which I firmly believe, by the way, and I said

1003
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: at that point in June, I said, he's not the

1004
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league, but he's the most physically gifted.

1005
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: And now I really think. And it's funny because I

1006
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: thought this game against Miami last Sunday was one of

1007
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: his best games, and the numbers might not reflect that.

1008
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't throw for four hundred yards and

1009
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, But I thought the nature of that game

1010
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: and the way it played out and the way he

1011
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: had to play that game really showed his growth and

1012
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: its understanding of how to play through the flow and

1013
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: pace of giving games. But anyway, getting to Trevor Lawrence,

1014
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: I never bought into I look, I thought Lawrence was

1015
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: a good prospect, clearly, but I never bought into the

1016
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: generational stuff that you know, when you've been doing this

1017
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: as long as I have, it's very hard for me

1018
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: to be so superlative about you know, every once in

1019
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: a while there's a guy that just demands that based

1020
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 1: on my study of tape. But I just didn't buy

1021
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: into watching Trevor Lawrence on film that we haven't seen

1022
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback like that, you know, in twenty five years now.

1023
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: I think he'll end up being a good player. But

1024
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: studies have been done, guys, and you may know this

1025
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: that show that if you go to a bad team

1026
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: and make no mistake, Jacksonville is not a good team

1027
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: that that really hinders and blows down the development of

1028
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback. So we might not see Trevor Lawrence develop

1029
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: at the rate we would like to see. Don't forget

1030
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is also on a team. And I love

1031
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. As you guys know based on film. He's

1032
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: on a team with a really good defense, and the

1033
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: Bills have had a good defense, and pretty much he's

1034
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: in his fourth year. Correct, in the four years he's

1035
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: been there, they've had a good defense, right right. Getting

1036
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: back to Josh, the stats are pretty apparent that this season,

1037
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: blitzing Josh has proven to make him a little bit

1038
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: more ineffective. His completion percentage is thirteen percent less when

1039
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: he's blitzed, and I would imagine that's the case for

1040
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks in his yards per attempt to

1041
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: go down. But the thing is nine of his seventeen

1042
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: touchdown passes have come when he's under pressure this year.

1043
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: No other player has more than five touchdown passes when pressure.

1044
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: So how do defensive coordinators way numbers like that when

1045
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 1: they're deciding how to attack Josh? I mean, yes, the

1046
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: completion percentage is down, you'd say Okay, that's good, but

1047
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: sometimes he's so physically gifted he may beat us for

1048
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: six points. So I'm just curious the dichotomy that puts

1049
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator in Yeah, and I think you have

1050
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: to play as well to what you are as a defense.

1051
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: We know that a team like Miami under Brian Flores

1052
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: has been a fairly high percentage blitz defense. So they

1053
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: came out this past week, for instance, and they were

1054
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: very blitz heavy in the first half, including meaningful snaps

1055
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: of zero and I thought that their manned pressures, who

1056
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: were a big factor in the first half, the Bills

1057
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: couldn't generate any explosive plays. I thought Josh was comfortable

1058
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: against it. I thought he threw the ball short quickly,

1059
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: but they didn't really generate any meaningful plays, any chunk plays.

1060
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: And then I thought that in the second half, and

1061
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: it was obviously halftime adjustment, they came out with more

1062
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: no huddle, a little bit of tempo, and they calmed

1063
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: down the pressures and that's when you started to see

1064
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And then of course the touchdown

1065
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: to Diggs was just beautiful. That did come against pressure,

1066
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: and it also shows something that is absolutely true that

1067
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: a first level defender because Emmanuel Ogba was unblocked on

1068
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: that play and he's a first level defender. That if

1069
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: you have three step drop timing and the ball comes

1070
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: out on time, even a first level defender is not

1071
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: going to get to the quarterback. Yeah. It was interesting

1072
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: too that the longer that game went on and Josh

1073
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: said this in the I think it was kind of

1074
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: telling by Josh Allen. He said, you know, we try

1075
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: to do some things to get them out of that

1076
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: zero blitz coverage. Yeah, meaning and when he says when

1077
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: he says they were trying to get him out of it,

1078
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: I think it's obviously he says they don't like him

1079
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: in it, you know, as a of course, Well, well,

1080
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: you get a little limited in what you can do.

1081
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,959
Speaker 1: I mean, look, can you throw fade balls and hope

1082
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: you hit one and you know, get a sixty yard touchdown. Sure,

1083
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: but for the most part because unless you want to

1084
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: keep the other part of that Steve as you well know,

1085
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: is you can block it, but then you have to

1086
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: keep people in and I don't think they want to

1087
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: limit the number of eligible receivers in their offense. So

1088
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, you can block it if you choose to.

1089
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: It's a numbers game. But you know, if you want

1090
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: to run your pass offense, then you would rather not

1091
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: have not see zero blazes because you want to get

1092
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: five out. I think it was telling too, because I

1093
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: think it makes it makes guys uncomfortable, even guys like Josh.

1094
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they want to they want to drop back

1095
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: and be able to look at the field and make

1096
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: some plays. But whereas where you just got to step back,

1097
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: wing it out to the side and let's see what

1098
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Let's see who wins on the tackle. You know, if

1099
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: they miss the exactle we win if we if we

1100
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: if they make the tackle, we don't win that. And

1101
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: it's the play is over in a heartbeat almost yeah.

1102
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: And it's also, as you know, tough on your on

1103
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: your own line because there's identification issues, right, you know,

1104
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: it's to who blocks who? I mean, look, even on

1105
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: the touchdown to Digs, there's no way you're intentionally leaving

1106
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: a defensive end on block. So technically the protection was

1107
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: not the way it was supposed to be, but they

1108
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: were still able to get a touchdown. Looking around the league,

1109
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: greg this weekend, the Rams will have the debut of

1110
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: von Miller after the trade. Knowing the kind of defense

1111
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: the Rams play, how do you anticipate him being incorporated

1112
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: into what they do? And that's going to be fascinating, Chris.

1113
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Because Leonard we know about Aaron Donn, we don't need

1114
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: to discuss him. But Leonard Floyd is having a really,

1115
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 1: really good season and he is almost exclusively a rusher

1116
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: from the left side of their defense, and that's where

1117
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: he's at his best. He doesn't rush from the other side.

1118
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: So I think you're gonna see von Miller more as

1119
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: almost like a joker, someone who moves around as opposed

1120
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: to someone who you know, who just lines up in

1121
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: one spot, because Floyd's been so good, and that's what

1122
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: I think you'll see. I think this week you'll probably

1123
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 1: see Miller maybe play twenty five snaps, and as time

1124
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: goes on, he could all play snaps. But the Rams

1125
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: defense is fascinating for people who don't follow them. They

1126
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: might think because they have Jalen Ramsey that they're a

1127
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: big man to man coverage defense. They are among the

1128
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: lowest percentage defenses in the NFL playing man coverage. Their

1129
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: high percentage zone and in fact, Ramsey predominantly in their

1130
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: sub their nickel and dime. He plays inside. He rarely

1131
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: matches up man to man on big time whiteouts. All right,

1132
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: well that's pretty interesting. And then Jordan Love is going

1133
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: to be playing for the Packers this week. Do you

1134
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: think anything changes within the scope of their scheme. I mean,

1135
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 1: there are certain things that Aaron Rodgers can do that

1136
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: not many others can. How much do you think they

1137
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: tweak what they do offensively to maybe fit Jordan's skill

1138
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: set a little better. I think you'll see them run

1139
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: the ball. That's not a profound statement, but obviously Matt Lafloor,

1140
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: who comes from the Kyle Shanahan school, that he'd like

1141
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: to start with the run game. I think the score

1142
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: will dictate how they play on offense. I think they

1143
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: would like to be in a situation where they can

1144
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: take some shots proactively in normal down and distant situations.

1145
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: As with all quarterbacks, but certainly inexperienced quarterbacks, they would

1146
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: really like to limit long yardage plays. So when they

1147
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: do throw the ball by choice against predictable coverages, I

1148
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: think you'll see a lot of quick game. I think

1149
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: you'll see a lot of throws that are move the chains,

1150
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: stay on schedule type throws, you know one you know

1151
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: round concepts like slam flat or all flat things where

1152
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: the reads are pretty defined. It's either one read or

1153
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: no read. So I think they'll they'll use the pass

1154
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: game by choice to stay on schedule and then take

1155
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: a few shots. But if the score dictates otherwise and

1156
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: they've got to throw it a lot, then it'll be

1157
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: a whole different deal. And one other quarterback change that's

1158
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: going to happen this week goes in New Orleans. Now,

1159
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: they had Trevor Simeon take over last week when both

1160
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: quarter Jamison and Taysom Hill we're out. James Winston got

1161
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 1: hurt during the game. Taysom Hill looks like he's gonna

1162
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: be back in the lineup. If you're what did Sean Payton?

1163
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: What is he able to do that? Seemingly so many

1164
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: other teams struggle with. Maybe it's the guys he picks,

1165
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: maybe as an eye for the right backup quarterback, but

1166
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: he's winning games with quarterbacks and in a quarterback league

1167
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: with different quarterbacks, where other teams seem to struggle with that.

1168
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Trevor Simeon hadn't thrown a pass and what

1169
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: four years and Sean Payton nursed him through a game

1170
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: to a win. That's not any practice reps. Yeah, I

1171
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: think that really says something about Sean Payton's abilities as

1172
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: a head coach, and it almost reminds me Stephen. You'll remember,

1173
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: this is Joe Gibbs winning three Super Bowls with three

1174
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks exactly. I mean, you know, well, we all

1175
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: know Sean is one of the best in terms of

1176
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: putting together on offense and then play calling and play

1177
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: designed during the course of the game. And look, obviously

1178
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Simon hadn't played, but Simeon is a guy you can

1179
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: line up with. He's an executor and a ball distributor.

1180
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 1: Now he's not high high level at that where we'd

1181
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: be an NFL starter, but that's the style of quarterback

1182
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: he is. Taysom Hill is a whole different guy. You'll

1183
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: obviously see the design quarterback run game as a meaningful

1184
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: part of what they do with Taysom Hill because that's

1185
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 1: what he's capable of. So which, by the way, that

1186
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: in and of itself says an awful lot about Sean

1187
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 1: Payton because it's almost a whole different part of your playbook.

1188
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: But Sean is just really good at understanding what his

1189
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks can do and what they can't do, because very

1190
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: few quarterbacks have absolutely no limitations whatsoever. Last one I

1191
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: have for you, Greg by no means do we expect

1192
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old Adrian Peterson to take on

1193
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: the same workload that the Titans had for Derrick Henry.

1194
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: Do we envision, perhaps though a committee backfield taking on

1195
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: that much of a load, or does the burden now

1196
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: fall to Ryan Tannehill to do more in that Titans offense.

1197
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: It's a great question. The way I'd answer to that

1198
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: is Derrick Henry had far and away more first and

1199
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: ten rushes than any back in the league. They averaged

1200
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: with him almost seventeen first and ten rushes per game.

1201
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: That's an awful lot. Will they play the same way?

1202
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be exactly the same, and

1203
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: again this is all speculation. They have Peterson, they brought

1204
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: it back Deante Foreman, who's been there before. I think

1205
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: it'll be more running back by committee. Quite honestly, I

1206
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: think you might see them take a few shots on

1207
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 1: first down where they feel like they're controlling how the

1208
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: shot is taken. I think their defense quite honestly will

1209
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: determine how this game has played for them offensively, because

1210
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 1: the Rams are a very good offense. And if the

1211
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: Rams start putting up some points and it's you know,

1212
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: seventeen three in the second quarter, whereas in the past

1213
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: they might have stayed with Henry, I don't know if

1214
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: they'll stay with Adrian Peterson and Deante Foreman. How if

1215
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: you can put it into words, because everybody's tried, and

1216
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: everybody thinks there are those who have completely written off

1217
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:05,639
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans already They're gonna win that division no matter.

1218
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just it's almost impossible to conceive that

1219
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: them would lose that division, even though they're free game

1220
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 1: lead and they swept the Colts already, right, so well,

1221
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I guess we have to wait and

1222
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 1: see Steve because look, we've seen teams, you know, lose

1223
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 1: four or five in a row. You never know. But

1224
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: and I think there is going to be a lot

1225
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: of I don't want to say a burden, but there's

1226
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: going to be a spotlight on Tannehill for those who believed.

1227
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know the answer to this yet, so

1228
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to say. But for those who

1229
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: believe that he's purely a function of Derrick Henry in

1230
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 1: the system. You know, he probably will have a little

1231
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder as well. I don't know. I

1232
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: don't know if he's more than that. I mean, I

1233
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 1: think he throws a good ball, he's got movement ability.

1234
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: We will see if he's asked to do more and

1235
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: have to throw more, how that plays out. Yeah, that'll

1236
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,520
Speaker 1: be That's going to be interesting. As you said, fascinating.

1237
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: That is a good word to describe that, because there

1238
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: will be. He will be under the microscope now going

1239
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: forward for sure, and we'll probably largely determine whether that

1240
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: team continues on their current trajectory or slides back to

1241
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: the rest of the pack in the AFC. Greg, as always,

1242
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: thanks very much. We look forward to seeing you on

1243
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: the NFL Matchup Show this weekend. We'll catch up with

1244
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 1: you next week. Thanks, guys, really appreciate it, all right.

1245
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: That's Greg co Sale, senior producer from NFL Films, also

1246
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: co host of the NFL Matchup Show on ESPN, which

1247
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: air Saturday and Sunday mornings leading into the games. He's

1248
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: also writing a little bit for the thirty third Team

1249
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: he's got a cart. That article we mentioned Josh Allen

1250
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,560
Speaker 1: maybe on his way to becoming the NFL's best quarterback.

1251
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 1: That's from Greg co Sell. Also on the thirty third

1252
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 1: team website. You can read that's it's interesting too. We

1253
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: talk publicists, Yeah, we talk about Josh all the time here.

1254
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 1: We've been talking about Josh since day one of his

1255
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 1: rookie year. And he goes back and looks at a

1256
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: handful of plays throughout his four years in Buffalo, and

1257
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 1: you can and Bill's fans will be able to picture

1258
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: the play he's talking about without even a problem. The

1259
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 1: one that can act to mind immediately critiques where Josh

1260
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 1: was in his career at that point, what that throw meant,

1261
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: what this play meant, and what it signaled. It's a

1262
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: very interesting read. Yeah. The one that stuck out to

1263
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: me was the throw he described in the Arizona game

1264
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 1: to Gabriel Davis, because I can still see Fred Warner

1265
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: stretching as far as his six foot three frame would

1266
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: let him to try to tip the ball. I mean,

1267
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: it was like a perfect touch pass. But Greg had

1268
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: an interesting description for it. I think he called it

1269
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: a firm touch pass because it has to be feathered

1270
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: in there, but it has to have some velocity on

1271
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: it to elude the defenders in what is a very

1272
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 1: tight window. So he had to drop it over Fred Warner,

1273
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: the linebacker, who's a six three guy with long arms,

1274
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 1: and then still drop it underneath the coverage defender who's

1275
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: behind Davis, so that Davis can make a playoff. San

1276
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 1: Francisco throw, wasn't it not the Arizona throw? Wasn't. Oh yeah,

1277
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: it would have to be San Francisco. It's Fred Warner.

1278
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: The game was in Arizona. I always its confused, I'm

1279
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: telling you, with that game being played in Arizona, it

1280
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: is screwed up my mind and my memory to no end. Yeah,

1281
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 1: it was a Monday night game in San Francisco in

1282
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 1: Arizona exactly. But that was the I mean I remember

1283
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: that play vividly. Have trouble remembering who the health of

1284
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 1: team was that they played against, apparently, but I know

1285
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: where the game was, and I remember Fred Warner, and

1286
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: there was a game, and he also he also goes

1287
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: back and he highlights the fifty yard air pass he

1288
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: throws to Bob Foster. We had it on the show

1289
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: yesterday and we showed it today where you know, the

1290
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars collapsed on Josh. He stood in the pocket,

1291
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: made this throw, and Robert Foster had said, Josh, gonna

1292
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: give me a landmark. He said, the bottom of the

1293
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 1: forty yard line, the bottom of the numbers, and the

1294
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 1: ball was on the bottom of the forties, was right there.

1295
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: Despite having a guy in his face and taking a

1296
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: shot with sandwich Dan, he never sees the completion. The

1297
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: ball was right on the numbers, on the forty going

1298
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: the other way, fifty yards away, and Robert Foster prances

1299
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Plays like that that we've seen

1300
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: Josh make, and those highlights and those those moments we

1301
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:05,719
Speaker 1: all remember from Josh's ascension are highlighted in this article

1302
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: by Greg. And it's fun to go back and listen

1303
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: because you get an artist and Greg is nothing if

1304
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,759
Speaker 1: not honest. He is brutally honest sometimes and he never

1305
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: sometimes he tries to maybe tries to kind of shure

1306
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: your code, but he always tells the truth. And he's objective,

1307
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: not subjective. I mean, the guy is totally emotionless and

1308
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 1: he sees everybody more so than anybody I know. He

1309
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: watches every player in the league on every play they

1310
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: play and evaluates him dispassionately. Right before he came on,

1311
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: he's like, hold on, I gotta watch a little more

1312
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,879
Speaker 1: Jacksonville tape here to make sure I got my personnel

1313
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: on my personnel yeah, yeah, he's he is all in yeah,

1314
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 1: and on the film, it's fun to see a guy

1315
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: who is has no skin in the game trying to

1316
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: be as objective as he can be say things like

1317
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: he says about Josh Allen in this article. It's it's

1318
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty fun. All right. We have to take

1319
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 1: a break here. When we come back, we're going to

1320
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: pass along some comments from coach McDermott his evaluation of

1321
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:05,680
Speaker 1: his top two running backs thus far this season. You

1322
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: won't want to miss that. Micah Hide on how far

1323
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: the team has come since that twenty seventeen playoff game

1324
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. And Emmanuel Sanders on what he sees from

1325
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: the Jags defense and anticipates for Sunday. We'll get to

1326
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: that when we return. Here on One Bill's Live, presented

1327
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Right back here

1328
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Taster if you

1329
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: wanted to pass along some comments from head coach Sean

1330
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 1: McDermott as well as Mike Hydens heading into Sunday's game.

1331
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you have called in and

1332
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: commented on the running backs on this roster, namely Devin

1333
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 1: Singletary and Zach Moss, and wondering what your thought. You

1334
01:15:57,800 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: know you've given us your thoughts on him, but we

1335
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: thought you'd be interested in coach McDermott's thoughts on his

1336
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 1: top two backs. So here is coach McDermott on the

1337
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: kind of football he feels those two players are giving

1338
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 1: him right now. I think there are two young players,

1339
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 1: Devin and year three. I believe Zach and you're two

1340
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 1: and so they're young players. Who's best football I believe

1341
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: is ahead of them. A lot of confidence and trust

1342
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,640
Speaker 1: in those two. And do I expect us to be

1343
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: able to do things better than we've done at times? Yes?

1344
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: I do. And I think that they would say the

1345
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 1: same thing. So it's about detailing their work. It's about

1346
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: running with an attitude, making people miss, breaking tackles, taking

1347
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: care of the football all the while. And that's the

1348
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: responsiblay that they take. And I think to this point.

1349
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: They've done a fairly good job with that to this point.

1350
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:45,679
Speaker 1: But again, I believe that their best football is ahead

1351
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: of them. So I think that's a way of saying

1352
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: they've done okay, they have been great. They could do better,

1353
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 1: they've been they've been fine. Yeah, I think here's not

1354
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: a ringing endorsement either. No, and I don't think either

1355
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 1: one of them has played to their potential. There's always

1356
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: something about the running backs that that get you. Each

1357
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 1: of them has had probably I don't know generally speaking,

1358
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 1: and maybe a little bit wrong, but each of them

1359
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 1: has had about the same opportunity to grab something and

1360
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,560
Speaker 1: hold onto it, both in the passing game and the

1361
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: running game. I mean, with the exception of of of

1362
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: the you know, uh Singletary breaking off the forty six

1363
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: yard or on the first in Week two against the Dolphins,

1364
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the play. In the passing game,

1365
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: they're just okay. I mean, you know, the you know,

1366
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary to this day still thinks about the Championship

1367
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: game swing passity missed in Kansas City, and last week,

1368
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, Zach Moss catches the past swing passing, falls

1369
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: down before he can get up he's tackled, so u

1370
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 1: those kind of plays by the plus, you know they've

1371
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 1: they have not been bitten by the fumble bug, although

1372
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: they both coughed it up a couple were out of bounds.

1373
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: So neither one of them has done enough to say,

1374
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: you know what, they need to give him more chances.

1375
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: I think when you get to the point where you're

1376
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: running back group and you're saying they've they've got it enough,

1377
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's when you say, Okay, they're not

1378
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: doing enough. Yeah, you know what I mean. They're they're

1379
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: getting enough of a chance to show off, and neither

1380
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: one of them has taken control, and neither one of

1381
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: them has done enough to say, wow, we need to

1382
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:29,840
Speaker 1: give him a little bit more chance. And I'm not

1383
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: trying to be an apologist for either of them, but

1384
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: when you're only getting seven or eight carries a game,

1385
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:36,600
Speaker 1: it's it's probably hard to prove that because you know

1386
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 1: what I mean, Yeah, but that's because you got other

1387
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: guys getting opportunities and knocking it out of the park.

1388
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley. You know those guys

1389
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: are making more out of their opportunities than the two

1390
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 1: running backs. That's the identity of their offense. Absolutely, absolutely,

1391
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 1: And it's a throwing league, I get it. And you know,

1392
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: nobody takes a running back in the first round anymore

1393
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: unless you're the Giant that kind of stuff. But the

1394
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 1: simple fact of the matter is if you want more

1395
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: as a running back, you got to leave every play

1396
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: with that team. Wow, I wish we gotta give it

1397
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: to him again. He's really playing well and they haven't

1398
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:13,599
Speaker 1: done that not enough. Micah Hyde was asked a pretty

1399
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: good question this week. The last time the Bills were

1400
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville was for the wild card playoff game that

1401
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: broke the seventeen year playoff drought. But man, that was

1402
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: a difficult game to watch. Their offense was in neutral

1403
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: with the exception of Lashawn McCoy, who was clearly the

1404
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 1: player of the game for the Bills in that game,

1405
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,599
Speaker 1: He's the only threat of offense they had and they

1406
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: lose the game ten to three. Fast forward to now,

1407
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 1: this offense can carry this football team when necessary. So

1408
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: here is Micah Hyde on how far the team has

1409
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 1: come from that twenty seventeen playoff game. In January of

1410
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen against the Jaguars, it's pretty crazy. It's pretty

1411
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: crazy to see. You know, this organization has gotten to

1412
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: say we're not you know, where we want to be.

1413
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: But um, you know, from the process of then to now,

1414
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 1: you know, we've came along the way and it starts

1415
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: from the everybody from the top down from the coaches

1416
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 1: to the players. Um, you know, it's just high character

1417
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: guys in the in the building that are willing to work.

1418
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: Not that there wasn't then, but you know, I think

1419
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,880
Speaker 1: with every organization, a new head coach, you gotta kind

1420
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: of filter through some some uh personnelity stuff like that

1421
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: kind of finds your guys. So, you know, we've been

1422
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 1: able to do that last couple of years. And like

1423
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: I said, the process of then until now has been

1424
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. Yeah, you want to hold these two clubs

1425
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: up side by side over the last three years, and

1426
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: it is stark in where one has fallen. And Jacksonville

1427
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,559
Speaker 1: won that game, and then they went on to win

1428
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and they they hit the Pittsburgh teachers in

1429
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: the mouth on that day. I was on the sidelines

1430
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 1: for that game. They played the best game I've ever

1431
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 1: seen a Jacksonville Jaguars team play. On at any and

1432
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: Mark Brunel nineties. Those guys on that day in Pittsburgh

1433
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 1: in the divisional round of the playoffs went to the

1434
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: AFC Title game too. I realized that. But this one

1435
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: went to the title, the AFC title game as well.

1436
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: They played better than what I'm saying. Yeah, they played

1437
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 1: better in that Pittsburgh game than I've ever seen a

1438
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville team play. They couldn't get it done the next

1439
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: week against who wasn't New England. Was in New England

1440
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Couldn't get it done there. But that so

1441
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 1: you hold that team up against this team now and

1442
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: where they are now in different places. The Bills were

1443
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and have gotten better every single year since. Well,

1444
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: they took a step back the next year. That's not true, right,

1445
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: They won six and ten and eighteen when offensive line

1446
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: they lost, Incognito would have to retire early, lost to injury.

1447
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Two offensive line, two Pro Bowl offensive linemen they were

1448
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:51,639
Speaker 1: counting on, and they didn't get anything in return for them.

1449
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 1: They were both ones of retirement and the other ones

1450
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: an injury. So you know, yeah, you get what you get.

1451
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: But all in all, this has been a steady ascension

1452
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: for the organization, and it has been the opposite of

1453
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: that for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And they have not drafted well.

1454
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: And some of the few draft picks that they did

1455
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: select they got traded, Janakin Gockway, Jalen Ramsey, They're just

1456
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 1: not on the roster anymore. And then the other draft

1457
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: picks they made did not pan out. Now, could that

1458
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 1: possibly be to player development as well? Possibly? Possibly because

1459
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: the coaching staffs have changed, and you know, they've had

1460
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:37,719
Speaker 1: no continuity there either, so that makes it tough as well.

1461
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders was asked for his take on what he

1462
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 1: and the Bill's offense is expecting from this Jaguars defense

1463
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 1: that has had trouble stopping people. They've given up at

1464
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: least twenty points in every single game this season. So

1465
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: here is Emmanuel Sanders take on what to expect from

1466
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 1: the Jags defense. Play a lot of zone. Um, and uh,

1467
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, just from the Jacksonville organization, obviously, you know

1468
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: they're trying to they're trying to build it, they're trying

1469
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: to get it right. Um. But also you know, I

1470
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: know that they want to win, and um, you know

1471
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: every week I talk about it. You know, somebody asked me,

1472
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: I said, who are you guys facing this week? And

1473
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: it took me a while to think because like, I

1474
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: really don't didn't really care too much, you know what

1475
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not even about them. It's about us

1476
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 1: and how how we're preparing, how we go out and play,

1477
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: and that's all that really matters. But um, you know,

1478
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 1: definitely a defense that runs a lot of zone. Um,

1479
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have time and has to be good.

1480
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, we've got to be able to sit in

1481
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 1: those zones and get opening on third down. They play

1482
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 1: man and um, you know, they play Football's football at

1483
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: the end of the day, exactly, nameless gray faces. That's

1484
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: what I say, man, And at the end of the day,

1485
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: it's about not what they do, but about what we're

1486
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: doing and how we execute. Like it doesn't matter who

1487
01:23:56,360 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 1: we play. And that's always gonna be my mindset. And

1488
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: that's not surprising to hear from him because he said

1489
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: it before. Yeah, I was. I've said that too, and

1490
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: I was, you know, this is a roster that is

1491
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: set and it's good enough, I said, and I've said

1492
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: and I still believe it. They were good enough last

1493
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: year to make a run and win a championship, But

1494
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: you got to play good on that day, and they

1495
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: ran into a team that played better than they did

1496
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship and never got to this chance

1497
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl. This roster is is

1498
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 1: every bit as talented, and it's a little different, no question,

1499
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 1: but it's still top notch. I think the guys in

1500
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 1: that room are good enough to go to and win

1501
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Now there's a handful, maybe more than

1502
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: a handful of other rosters in the league that feel

1503
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 1: the same way, and rightfully so. And it comes down

1504
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 1: to how well you play when you play those guys.

1505
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: But when you do play those teams, it's about you.

1506
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: It's not about them. It's about you, and when you

1507
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: play your best, it doesn't matter who it is on

1508
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: the other side of the field. And that's yeah. I

1509
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: remember being on teams like that, and I remember racing

1510
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 1: teams like that, and it's a good place to be.

1511
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 1: But it changes your mindset week to week and the

1512
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: grind it becomes real, because, yeah, there are teams that

1513
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: should not beat you. Yeah, And Marv used to say,

1514
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't know who. I think it was Sandy. He

1515
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: quoted Sandy Kofax. You know the old Dodger picture, right,

1516
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: So Marv said, you know, the guy was asking Sandy

1517
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: Kofax about what he thinks about when hitters come up,

1518
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: and he goes, who do you really concentrate the most on?

1519
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, what are these great hitters that you concentrate

1520
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: the most on when you face and he co Fax says,

1521
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: I always concentrate the most When I got the other

1522
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 1: picture and he goes, the pictures can't hit He goes,

1523
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: those are the guys I'm supposed to get out. I

1524
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: gotta concert. I gotta get those guys out. That's on me.

1525
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 1: These guys should the guys behind me shouldn't help me

1526
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 1: when I'm pitching to that guy. Yeah, And that's what

1527
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: Marv told us at one point during our time when

1528
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: we were going to Super Bowl every year. You gotta

1529
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,080
Speaker 1: get the guys out you're supposed to get out, and

1530
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 1: that means it takes concentration in preparation and you gotta

1531
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 1: be committed, and that's the challenge. Jacksonville looks very much

1532
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:10,879
Speaker 1: like a pitcher, um up at the plate quickly. OBL

1533
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 1: Friday Fan mail Bag Jtske, Where is Rashad wild Goose.

1534
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,280
Speaker 1: Is he on our fifty three man roster or not

1535
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:17,720
Speaker 1: that we need him right now? I haven't seen him

1536
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: on special teams. He's on the practice squad. Okay, I'll

1537
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: never see him. He's on the Yeah, he's on the

1538
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: practice squad right now. He's in the pipeline. Nick asks,

1539
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 1: are we not running a lot of short to intermediate routes?

1540
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: We seem to either run deep pass plays or wide

1541
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: receiver screens at the line of scrimmage. Besides Beasley, I'm

1542
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: not seeing any five yards slants or crosses. Why not

1543
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: try those with digs or sanders against the too deep

1544
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 1: coverage we're getting. What do you say to that, Well,

1545
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: they didn't get too much too deep coverage last week,

1546
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: and they got a lot of zero coverage last week.

1547
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: That's why you saw which is man to man across

1548
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 1: the board and blitzix right, They're they're bringing six guys.

1549
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 1: They got four guys man to man on the four receivers,

1550
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: and they got one single high safety. So when they

1551
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 1: do get those deep, they'll do it. But it also

1552
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: comes down to this. They're working sometimes of late off

1553
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 1: and on through this first half of the season with

1554
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:03,679
Speaker 1: a shuffled offensive line. They're moving pieces in there now,

1555
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: They've got Feliciano Wade again. It's going to be a

1556
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: yet another starting five. And I think Miami worked it

1557
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: to their advantage last week. No, and they had three

1558
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 1: different guys at different positions, even though they had some experience.

1559
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:17,799
Speaker 1: They were playing a different position for the first game

1560
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 1: in that set in a while, if ever, at that combination,

1561
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: and they tried to give them some problems with their

1562
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: communication and it worked early in that game in the

1563
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 1: first half. And Rachel asked, do you think joshuill seymour

1564
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 1: blitz is going forward? Since the Dolphins had some success

1565
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: against us doing that, some success less success in the

1566
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: second half. I'm sure that Jacksonville will try it. See

1567
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:38,720
Speaker 1: if they can catch him a couple of times in

1568
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: a bad decision afford us a turnover. But if Josh

1569
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: shows an ability to beat it much like he did

1570
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 1: last week in the second half, that's going to go away.

1571
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: Those are your fan mail, bad questions. We'll take a break,

1572
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:49,880
