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

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: fighter for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: in the straded here of normalcy here, all right, Here

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: we go on a Wednesday. Chris Brown along with Ruben

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Brown here on one Bill's Live live via satellite, joining

7
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: us here on the show today. Yeah. Well, we want

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: to make the show sound more technologically advanced than it

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: actually is. Rude, But how you doing, man, It's good

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: to see you. I'm doing awesome. Technology is amazing. You know,

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: I can stay in touch with my family and actually

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: not be there. Yeah right, it's pretty amazing what we

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: can do, what we've all learned from zoom in this

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: past year and a half due to the pandemic. Amazing.

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: M Yeah, pretty good game last week, Harub. But let

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: me get your thoughts on that first. Did you catch

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: much of that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I get everything on

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: replay and rewatch it. You know, I'm a coach, obviously,

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: you know all of us former players are. We watch

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: the game, see how the line me in particular, I'm

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: always looking at the line and I'm excited about how

22
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: our line perform. I mean, come on, guys, this is

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: what we've been looking for. They went and facing big

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: time pass rushing, first round draft pick defensive line, and

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: they really got busy with them. So I'm happy for

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: the Bills old lineman and them looking for more. Yeah,

27
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: they definitely did good on the edges for sure against

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: Chase Young and Montes Well. I thought to Ron Payne

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: gave Cody Ford some headaches at times, and it forced

30
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Josh to roll out or climb the pocket a few times.

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: But Josh is just so good good with his pocket awareness.

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: He's really worked on that part of his game. It's

33
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: kind of gone under the radar, and I think as

34
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: good as the line played, I think Josh only enhanced

35
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: their performance with some of his escapability. Not taking anything

36
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: away from the line. Don't be a fandom, just car teamwork.

37
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: Those guys are thankful for Josh combing to pocket and

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: finding little gaps to step up over the ball and

39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: run with it. So yeah, yes, I'll appreciate it. Yeah,

40
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: and I know that we were talking about this earlier

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: in the week on the show that you know there

42
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: was a little consternation on the part of Bill's fans

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: through the first two games because Josh had yet to

44
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: look like Josh Allen twenty twenty. This past weekend he did,

45
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: and five total touchdowns later, he is the AFC Offensive

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Player of the Week group just got named that today.

47
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: That's shop. He's done that several times, hasn't he? He has?

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the guy has played and

49
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: I think forty six games now I want to say,

50
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: and I think he's been named Player of the week

51
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: seven times. I want to say it's seven times. I'm

52
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna look it up right now and just make sure.

53
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: Seven times. He's been named offense AFC Offensive Player of

54
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: the Week in forty six games, five times in his

55
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: last nineteen games. Yeah, that's totally impressive. When a guy

56
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: seems to be growing, you know, worth watching him become

57
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: a great player. And you know when you do things

58
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: like this, you know, consecutive weeks as AFC player players

59
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: in a week and all of these different things, you

60
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: know that goes in your portfolio down the road is

61
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, whether you're considered one of the best to

62
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: ever done it, or you know amongst that group, and

63
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: just that alone, he hasn't he surpassed Jim on some

64
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: of those fronts. Uh, yeah, he's done. He did it

65
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: in single season passing yards, single season passing touchdowns with

66
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: the year he had last year, and now with this

67
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: game he had last week, he moved past Jim because

68
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: it was the fifth time that he's had at least

69
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: three hundred yards passing and four passing touchdowns I believe

70
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: are the combined stats. Jim had done it four times,

71
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: so he was tied with him, but then last Sunday

72
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: moved ahead of him. So yeah, he's hopefully he's back

73
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: to that on a week to week basis. For the

74
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: most part, I would anticipate that he will be this week.

75
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: Did you see the spread, Rube? It's seventeen seventeen? I

76
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: can't remember a spread like that. Is Buffalo nervous about that?

77
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: I think we are? Yeah, I mean, and we will

78
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: discuss that. But Brownie, you've covered the team forever. How

79
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: often has that ever happened for the Buffalo Bills franchise? Never? Really,

80
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: I can't remember a number that fat, I really can't.

81
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: That's extraordinary. Seventeen points. That's that's crazy, And um, I'm

82
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: glad we're on that side of it, are right, But

83
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta the trouble with some of these

84
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: you know predictions. You know, now you're expecting something, and

85
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: really I would say the team is really wants just

86
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: to win, you know, well right, that's reality than you know,

87
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: Covenant points. Yeah, you gotta go all Al Davis with that.

88
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: Just win baby, more than anything else. But yeah, there

89
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: are expectations here now. The Bills fans kind of got

90
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: a little taste of success last year, and now those

91
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: expectations are firmly in place because the team is largely

92
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: the same that it was last year with a couple

93
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: of additions, you know, Commanuel Sanders, people like that, um,

94
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: and so they're expecting much of the same. And I

95
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: don't blame them for expecting much of the same. Of course,

96
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: everybody else in this league, as you know, is trying

97
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: to get better too, So we'll just see how it

98
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: all comes out. I think this week they'll be more

99
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: than fine. I think they'll win handily. It's that game

100
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: on the horizon that is already drawing eyeballs at least

101
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: outside of this building here with the Kansas City Chiefs

102
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night game at Arrowhead, What do you

103
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: remember about why the hell is Arrowhead sold out. Is

104
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: it just because of the configuration of the stadium. It

105
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: seems like the noise rains down on the field in

106
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: that building, then they're into it. Yeah, I think it

107
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: is the configuration of that stadium. The fans are into it. Yeah,

108
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean there are many Buffalo Bills, Bills Mafia fans.

109
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: If you can't have any comparison as far as fan

110
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: base and loud stadiums, you know, the Bills are pretty

111
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: much the pinnacle after that at you would definitely there's

112
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: not one player coach that had ever worked in the

113
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: business that can say I like going to Kansas City

114
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: as a visitor. Yeah, not a fun business trip in

115
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: most cases. Unfortunately, the years I showed up, they had

116
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: Derek Thomas there, so right, Yeah, that brutal in itself,

117
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: but the fan base is very energetic and they're totally

118
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: into it. They have their own thing, they have their

119
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: own identity as Kansas City Chief fans, so they may

120
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: they do their part and trying to make it difficult

121
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: for an opposing team to come in and play. And

122
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: most of the times their teams have been formidable, I mean,

123
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: regardless of you know, how many championships they have they've

124
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: always had. I would say devastating defense in my day

125
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: when I will show up and you know, complimentary pieces

126
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: on offense, But now it seems, oh, the offense is

127
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: to show with my homes and everything, and it's plenty

128
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: for the fan base to stay riled up and excited

129
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: about because of the talent they have on that team.

130
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm kind of I'm kind of just going

131
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: back to this week's game though, Rube, I'm kind of

132
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: disappointed that we don't get to see Tyrod. I was

133
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, it's like it's like the second

134
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: week in a row. Like I think Bills fans were

135
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: getting a little nostalgic because in week three they were

136
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: hoping to see Fits. He gets injured in week one

137
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: and they get you know, Taylor Heinekey instead, and then

138
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: here in week four they were expecting to get Tyrode

139
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get David's Mills. It's like a little

140
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of a downer. What did it get

141
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: David's Mills from? But back to Tyrod, I think, uh,

142
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Tyrode's one of those guys that Buffalo Bills fans definitely

143
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: love or you know, because he did his part, he

144
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: did the best he could and also he death went

145
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: you know, going with him first as the starting quarterback

146
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: gave the Titans. I mean, the Texans the best opportunity

147
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to you know, be successful. They're a dangerous team. I'm

148
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: gonna tell you that right now, regardless of who's at quarterback.

149
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, we mentioned a little bit about trap games, Brownie,

150
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: you know, games that you overlook the you know, the

151
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs are coming up the week after, but

152
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: these are dangerous games right here. The Texans are a

153
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: talented team. You look on their roster, they have players

154
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: that can beat you. And if the Bills look forward

155
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: more to play in Kansas City, they may walk away

156
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: with a loss. But because they these teams, regardless of

157
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: who you play, someone can win, someone can beat you.

158
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: It's rarely in the NFL that any team, even the

159
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: worst team in the NFL, rarely goes without a one win,

160
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And you don't want that

161
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: one win to be against you, obviously, So I'm very

162
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: nervous about this game coming up. Yeah, I mean, coach

163
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: McDermott is a sweat of details. Coaches. We've said on

164
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: this show several times I don't know if he even

165
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: lets the word complacency get spoken around the facility, let

166
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: alone let his players even look that way on the

167
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: practice field. And they've got a good leadership group in

168
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: the locker room that kind of keeps people on the

169
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: straight and narrow no matter who the opponent is in

170
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: a given week. But it is a thing that can

171
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: crop up from time to time, and you know, you

172
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: look at I'll go back to the Chiefs as another example.

173
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: That was a team that largely coasted through the regular

174
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: season last year, just doing enough to win games. It's

175
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: almost as if they were like half interested half the

176
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: games they played, and they kept winning games because there

177
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: was such a wide gap between them and a lot

178
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: of the other teams they played last year. They've been

179
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: sloppy out of the gate here for the first three

180
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: weeks and haven't been airtight in their execution, and they've

181
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: paid for it in the form of two losses. So

182
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: it can happen even to the best teams in football,

183
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, So I think you're on the

184
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: money with that. I was taking a little bit of

185
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: a look at the Texans. Roube and Davis Mills didn't

186
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: do that bad last week. They kept it simple for him.

187
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: He was nineteen of twenty eight for one hundred and

188
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards in a touchdown, didn't turn the ball over.

189
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: He performed so well that I heard Houston head coach

190
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: David Culley say in his press conference yesterday they're gonna

191
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: put a little more on his late this week against

192
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: the Bills. So we'll be talking to DBC to who's

193
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans insider for Houston Texans dot com later

194
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: in the show, and we'll get the full breath of

195
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: exactly what they're gonna put on Davis Mills plate. But

196
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: he didn't. I mean, it looked like a deer in

197
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: the headlights last week. Yeah, you know, they have to

198
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: keep it simple. I mean even when they with what

199
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: they were working with with Tyrod. So you know, the

200
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: overall game plan was trying to keep it as simple

201
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: and manageable or or what we would call pedestrian as

202
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: you possibly can be on offense and just hope that

203
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: you don't mistake yourself into a loss, you know, and

204
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: just give yourself an opportunity. And so Milk, that's why

205
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: I say it's a dangerous game for the Bills to

206
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: go in and think, oh, well, there's no Patrick Mahomes

207
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: at quarterback on this team. No, these guys are professional

208
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: athletes and if you tiptoe and they will definitely send

209
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: you backpacking, you know, regardless. So you know, it's definitely

210
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to be attention to detail. And that's what

211
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: I like about McDermott and the staff. They understand these

212
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: types of things. And I'm sure this is Wednesday. Their

213
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: focus is on a lot of the mistakes they have

214
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: made made in previous games and cleaning them up. But

215
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: also also this is number one thing for offenses. You know,

216
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: around the NFL we talk about rhythm, you know, getting

217
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: that rhythm, and the Bills seem to have a tad

218
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: bit or rhythm definitely more rhythm than Kansas City Chiefs

219
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: have right now, and you need to build on that.

220
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: And so hopefully, you know, the excitement to build on

221
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: success overwhelms them more than you know, we got Kansas

222
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: City next week and the Texans we can smoke them,

223
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Hopefully they're more concerned about

224
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: which I'm sure you know, and we hear that from McDermott, like, hey, no,

225
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: we're looking at the details. We need, we need to

226
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: get better, and we'll play a comment from coach mcdermot's

227
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: press conference this morning that he had prior to practice

228
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: with the media when he was asked the very subject

229
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: of you know, being a tremendous favorite in this week's game.

230
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: He had a very short and terse answer, which we

231
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: will play in the next segment of the show. Some

232
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: other news and notes. As we know, last week, safety

233
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer left the game prematurely with an ankle injury,

234
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: did not return, left the game late and did not return.

235
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: He is not practicing today. Coach McDermott called him day today,

236
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: so we'll have to just see how his ankle progresses

237
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: through the course of the week and whether he just

238
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: misses today or if he misses tomorrow as well. Jaquan

239
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: Johnson came on the field for him, the third year

240
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: player out of Miami, and played alongside Micah Hyde in

241
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: the secondary at the safety position. There was a little

242
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: bit of an update on Marquez Stevenson, the rookie fifth

243
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: round draft choice who was put on IR at the

244
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. Now IR with these new expanded rules, Rube,

245
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: you can come back after three weeks, no more season

246
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: over kind of thing. It's partly pandemic related. They extended

247
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: the IR rules from last year into this year, so

248
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: he would have been eligible to come back this week

249
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: if healthy, which would have then prompted a roster move

250
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: to make room for him. Coach McDermott said that is

251
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: not happening and he is not backpracticing, so they can

252
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: wait as long as they want before they bring him back.

253
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: My suspicion is they probably won't do it until somebody's

254
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: lost to injury themselves at the receiver position, and then

255
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: at that point they may plug him in. I don't,

256
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm not going to pretend to know how

257
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: healthy his footer ankle injury is, which he suffered that

258
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: put him on IR in the first place. The other

259
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: bit of news around the league concerns Richard Sherman signed

260
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and as much as been

261
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: said Rube about how you know the offense has been

262
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: off to a lightning fast start for the defending Super

263
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: Bowl champs, very quietly, their past defense is last in

264
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: the league. I was stunned when I saw that, and

265
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, well, I guess that partially explains why

266
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: they chased after Richard Sherman. Yeah, totally. And he Richard

267
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: obviously kept himself in enough shape and health that you

268
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: know that the team's willing to pick him up and

269
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: bring him in. And add to that, you know, it's

270
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: always scary when you're on a team and you just

271
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: and asked the seasons going on, you start adding guys

272
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: a post to pulling guys up from either practice squad

273
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: or second team or something like that. When you have

274
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: to go out and actually bring someone down in off

275
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: the street, it's it's a it's a definitely a sign

276
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: of something more than just bringing che sermon in. Riche

277
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: sermon won't fix that part. Yeah, And part of the

278
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: issue that they had was they lost one of their

279
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: starting corners in Week one. In that season kickoff game

280
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: against Dallas, Sean Murphy Bunting dislocated his elbow on an

281
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: ugly looking play. His arm just kind of got pinned

282
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: as he was trying to bring a receiver to the

283
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: ground and he knew right away, he's just he's holding

284
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: his arm on the way off the field like it was.

285
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't good. Like elbows don't bend that where lower

286
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: forearms don't bend that way usually, so immediately you kind

287
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: of knew it was like a dislocated elbow and he's

288
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: going to be out for the foreseeable future. So they

289
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: were down as starter. Whoever they had in his spot

290
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: was not getting the job done. What do we think

291
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: is realistic though? Rubing for you know, a thirty three

292
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: year old Richard Sherman is I don't know, is this

293
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: guy just slide right in and play sixty five snaps

294
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: a game. I don't know, not even not even I

295
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be spotty. I think he's gonna be

296
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: specialized in some areas and skills where he excels that

297
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: and they'll use them just for that. But the for

298
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: all position, they clearly have a problem and just bringing

299
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: him in is not gonna be the saving grace. It'll

300
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: definitely put a finger in the dike and keep keep

301
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: the damn from bursting right away. But they have a

302
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: much serious problem. They have a depth problem, and adding

303
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman just won't be enough to push them over

304
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: the edge. I personally think, yeah, now you know, it's

305
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: football and week the week things changed, but I don't

306
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: see that. As you know, they're saving grace right now,

307
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: it's still gonna be difficult for that defense. Yeah. Part

308
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: of the problem, at least from what I've been able

309
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: to see, is their pass rush. It's just not what

310
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: it was a year ago. They're they're lasting the league

311
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: and sacks per play too. Um, when your front's not

312
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: getting the job done, you're gonna be hanging the guys

313
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: on the back end out to dry, and teams are

314
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: throwing on these guys. They're not hesitating, they're not threatened

315
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: by the pass rush. They're like, all right, let's put

316
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: it up, take our chances. So then, you know, as

317
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: our offensive linement, we love those games where we knew

318
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: that it was only gonna be an attack by the

319
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 1: front four or the front three that were depending on

320
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: high for the three four or for three configuration. You know,

321
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: you were excited, like, oh, they're only gonna try to

322
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: send the d linement out that we got that covered,

323
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: you know, and let the you know, any of us know,

324
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: you go out there on a basketball court or play

325
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: pick up, try to stay next to a guy trying

326
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: to get open for longer than three seconds. It's almost impossible,

327
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: you know. So it's a lot of work for the

328
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: DBS back there if you don't have guys getting in

329
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: the face of the quarterback making him have to make

330
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: early throws or quick those throws sooner, making throws in

331
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: tight locations because of the assness up around his feet

332
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: and in his face. So definitely, like I said Richard Sherman,

333
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: AA is not really the answer for that Bucks defense

334
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: or any defense that is having trouble getting to the

335
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: quarterback is always going to put too much pressure on

336
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: that DBS. Yeah, Rubin already mentioned it. We're gonna expand

337
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: on it here in the Twitter conversation today with you,

338
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: should there be any concern about the Bills looking past

339
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: Houston this week, knowing that giant matchup with the Chiefs

340
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday night football looms next week on the road,

341
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: and tell us yes. You can tell us no, and

342
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: then tell us why there shouldn't be any concern about

343
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: the Bills looking past Houston. Eight oh three oh five

344
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty the

345
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: number to get on board. We get an open line

346
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: for you there, or you can get us up on

347
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet at one Bills Live on Twitter, So

348
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: be sure to do that and let us know, I

349
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: don't really have a terrible concern here. I think the

350
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: only thing I worry about, Ruben, is that four stretches

351
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: of this game, they might for lack of a better term,

352
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: played down to their level of competition, like some of

353
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: the airtight execution we saw last week maybe isn't there.

354
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: And even last year we saw this, particularly in the

355
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: third quarter, there were these lulls of play where you know,

356
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: two or three offensive series to either three and out

357
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: or four and out, and they're punting it away and

358
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: they can't get in sync again, and it's almost like

359
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: they have to kickstart themselves again to kind of get

360
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: back in the rhythm that you were just talking about.

361
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: That's probably the only concern. I don't know if it's

362
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: going to be enough to put the game in doubt,

363
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: but I kind of want them to be firing on

364
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: all cylinders and use this as a as a tune

365
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: up game so they go in on a high going

366
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: into Kansas City next week. Yeah, I think I think, well,

367
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: we got the staff that can convey that message to

368
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: the players, like, hey, we have some things that we've

369
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: been doing well, but you know, we're not in the

370
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: super Bowl today. We have to win this next game.

371
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: We need next game to add to our war chest

372
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: for building up to the playoffs. So hopefully there's enough.

373
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Well I'm guessing and I'm a big fan of everyone

374
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: that's in the building over there, and I'm pretty sure

375
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: that they're gonna stress the need for top notch execution

376
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: regardless of who they play. Regardless if it's the Sisters

377
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: of the Poor that they're out there playing, they still

378
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: need to go out there and smoke them, you know,

379
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: because they have the talent to do so. The running

380
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: games effective, it's there build on that. You know, Hey,

381
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: maybe we don't put Josh and some of the critical

382
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: passing situations. Maybe we feature more of a running game

383
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: this week, so we can have some stuff in the

384
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: can in the film, so we can study for down

385
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: the road when we face other opponents, or try to

386
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: figure out what it's gonna take to have a really

387
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: a long term effective running game. So it's an opportunity,

388
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: it's a really great tunity for them to build on

389
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: the current success. Hopefully if they can have that type

390
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: of mentality going into the game. And I only say

391
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: this because I believe that's what the coaches staff is

392
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna preach to them. Yeah, And I think also helping

393
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: is the fact that they're only three weeks removed from

394
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: a humbling at the hands of the Steelers in Week one,

395
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: which was a game that everybody thought they were supposed

396
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: to win. Sure, you can make the argument that the

397
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: Texans aren't the Steelers, but Steelers aren't looking so hot

398
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: right now, so that's not a loss that has aged

399
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: very well from week one, and hopefully it's firmly in

400
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: the memory bank so they lock it down here in

401
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: week four on Sunday against Houston eight oh three five

402
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Should

403
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: there be any concern about the Bills looking past Houston

404
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday being seventeen point favorites? Yes or no? And

405
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: let us know why open line for you at eight

406
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty. Let's go to the phones

407
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: and leading us off today is Dan and Rochester. Dan,

408
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one? Bill's live, Hi,

409
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: Chris us long time family? Or is Ruben? Thanks buddy,

410
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: You're a great, great fire Ruban ron I had no concerns, express,

411
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: no concerns, Okay, no concerns at all. A, Ruben, can

412
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: we be Kansas City? Oh you can beat you can

413
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: beat them. Um, I think the Bill's got the v

414
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: team in the AFC right now, hands down. Um, all

415
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: the all the arrows point to the Buffalo Bills right now. Thankfully.

416
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm happy about that. And you know, guys definitely gonna

417
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: wanna you know, be successful in every endeavor that they

418
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: take on. You know that no game is you know,

419
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: we need all the wins. You know, we need the

420
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: wins against the Texans, you know, the winning a loss

421
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: against the Texans and then go in and beat Kansas City.

422
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: Come on, it's gonna mess you up come playoff time.

423
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: So right now it's the time they collect as many

424
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: wins as you can possibly, um collect for the team.

425
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: If you think it's an easy win and mentally in

426
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: your in your makeup and how you look at it, well,

427
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: then win it, you know, just win it. You gave

428
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: her this, You gave her win. You gave a really

429
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: quick answer though, Ruben, when he asked you can they

430
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs? You said yes, and then you were like,

431
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: they're the team to beat in the AFC, meaning the Bills.

432
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: So what's what's changed for you between last year and

433
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: this year. That convinces you the tables have turned there.

434
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: I think the continuity, you know, I know what it

435
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: means as a unit organization, a team. If you have

436
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: the same people come into the practice facility year in

437
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: and year out. The more of those guys that are

438
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: familiar with each other and have some working relationship, whether

439
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: it be a year or two, really it takes really

440
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: two years, two good years together as a group, and

441
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: you can form an unbeatable bond. And I think the

442
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, out of all the teams, have that more so.

443
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: I know Kansas City won the Super Bowl, an there's

444
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: a couple of other teams got people together, but I

445
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: think the Bills are the upstart team that has everyone together,

446
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: coaching staff, the coordinators, you know, players you know that

447
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: have spent enough time together that is going to benefit

448
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: them in tough situations. And that's why the Bills, for me,

449
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: they're trending up and they should be trending. Yeah, let's

450
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: go back to the phones. We're gonna go to Jim

451
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: and Rochester. Jim, what do you have for us? You're

452
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live. Hey, Brownie Rubin, just a quick point,

453
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: you were talking about spreads in the seventeen points. We

454
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: were eighteen point underdogs in Minnesota when Josh jumped over

455
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: Rampony bar. Oh yeah, in twenty eighteen. I think the

456
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: final line was seventeen by the end of the week.

457
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: But we're splitting hairs. I get what you're saying. Yeah,

458
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: just want to throw it out. Yeah. They won that

459
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: game twenty seven to six. They were the beneficiaries of

460
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: two early takeaways. They got to cousins in the pocket twice,

461
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: and I think there were two fumbles early deep in

462
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: their territory and the Bills quickly put fourteen on the

463
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: board and it was kind of downhill from there for Minnesota.

464
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: I was at that game and you could have heard

465
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: a pin drop. They were in their new US Bank Stadium,

466
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, with all the glass and everything, and people

467
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: were all hyped. I can't remember if it's their home

468
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: opener or not. And I think that is still the

469
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: wreck Jim for fewest points scored by a team favored

470
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: by seventeen points or more. Um, they only had six.

471
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: I gotta look it up. I'll check during the break,

472
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: but I think I'm right on that. But you're right thing,

473
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: You're right Jim, one more thing, Yeah, go ahead, Oh

474
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: still there, Uh the Super Bowls of Chargers in the

475
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: forty nine ers ninety three or four. I believe that

476
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: was sent right, and they won forty nine twenty six

477
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: I believe was the final score. So that was that

478
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: was the successful cover, shall we say? But Jim, thanks

479
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: for thanks for the time and the point that out.

480
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: We appreciate that. I mean the Bill. See, I couldn't

481
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: remember a time when the Bills were seventeen point favorites

482
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: seventeen point underdogs. I can remember a couple of those.

483
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: That's normal. We were always underdoges as far as that

484
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: can remember. So yeah, that was you can't look any game. Yeah,

485
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: that was the most recent one though, twenty eighteen. That

486
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: was the Josh jump over Anthony Barr game when he

487
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: hurdled him. Um, and they won that game twenty seven

488
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 1: to six, do largely to those two early turnovers by

489
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota deep in their own territory. Bills cashed in and

490
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: it was downhill from there for the Vikings. Um. Yeah,

491
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: that was a major upset, certainly Byclipedia of Football knowledge.

492
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: Full up Google helped Uben. Come on, you pulled those

493
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: stats up pretty fast. Buddy, that Google wasn't that you? You?

494
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: You knew exactly what that caller was saying, and you

495
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: knew the dates and the time. Do you know how

496
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: long it takes me to shuffle through my mimi even

497
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: remember how that the plays that I ran in that game,

498
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: so or games that I played. So kudos to you,

499
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: Pat back right there. I'll take I'll take the compliment.

500
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Rupe. We have to take a

501
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back more on this subject.

502
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: Should there be any concern about the Bills looking past Houston? Yes? No,

503
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: or and tell us why. And we also are going

504
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: to pass along to you a comment by head coach

505
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott on this very subject. He knows that they

506
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: are big time favorites in Sunday's game against Houston. What

507
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: are his thoughts about Buffalo's approach on Sunday. We'll get

508
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: to that when we return here on One Bill's Live,

509
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: presented by Collat of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

510
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown and Ruben

511
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: Brown with you here on a Wednesday edition. And I

512
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: did look it up during the break, Rube, that is

513
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: still a record by the Minnesota Vikings in twenty eighteen

514
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: against the Bills fewest points scored by a team favored

515
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: by seventeen points or more, at least since nineteen sixty six.

516
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: They're twenty seven to six loss to the Bills, who

517
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: were seventeen point underdogs. That is the fewest points. There's

518
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: a couple other teams in like the Colts in sixty

519
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: eight in Green Bay, and sixty seven doesn't happen often,

520
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: but holy cow, six points as a seventeen point favorite, yuck.

521
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: Anyone can win in the NFL from week to week,

522
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: so don't take any of them for granted. Right. Forgive

523
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: me for not mentioning this earlier, because I did make

524
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: a note of this, and then the guys in the

525
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: control room were nice enough to remind me because I

526
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: had completely forgotten. Here you are complimenting my memory, and

527
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: I can this completely slip my mind. But congratulations, you

528

537
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: else is on there? Oh? I saw Larry Centers on there.

538
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: It was here for a cup of coffee. You ever

539
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: remember you ever? I still to this day have not

540
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: seen Calves on a human being bigger than Larry Centers. Calves.

541
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: You and I both huge, huge, huge, Listen. I could

542
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: go on and on for all the amazing athletes that

543
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: are on that list that I played with. I'm more

544
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: proud of that than anything. I look at all the

545
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: nominees that I physically played with. Steve Tasker was my teammate,

546
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: Cornelius Bennett was my teammate, Tequio Spice was my teammate,

547
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: London at It was my teammate, Larry Sinners was my teammate.

548
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: And Larry Sinners hands down was one of the most

549
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: inspirational players that I've ever trust me why he inspired me? Listen,

550
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: he would do the little things. He did the little

551
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: things and when you saw him do them, you were like,

552
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Larry Sinner's gonna do that. I'm not

553
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: gonna let him show me up. I'm gonna do it

554
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: because I'm man. Let me tell you this. This is

555
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: the one thing I hope a lot of people catch

556
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: on to this about who he is as a player,

557
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: because before there were the one hand catch guys that

558
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: snagged it out of the air, it was Larry Sinners.

559
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: Larry Sinners actually practiced that. He was the first player

560
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: I've ever seen practice catching the ball difficult positions one

561
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: hand catches. And that was one of the reasons why

562
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: I like, I was inspired bound because I came something like,

563
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Cats about? Just put both hands

564
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: on it. He's like, I might not have both hands

565
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, all right? Very simple, you know,

566
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: very simple. And he did it on a regular basis.

567
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: When you would think he would should use two hands,

568
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: he would just use one hand to make it difficult.

569
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: That's how hard he was working to be one of

570
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: the best players. So I truly believe that this guy

571
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: is a Hall of Famer. And you know it's not

572
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: his song because he's a full back, obvious, right, And

573
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: but when anytime somebody says Larry center is the first

574
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: thing I think of are those two Are those two

575
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: freaking tomahawk steaks that he had for calves? Man, they

576
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: were absolutely enormous, Like they were like the size of

577
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: like most regular dude's size. I don't know. There was

578
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: so much muscle tissue back there. It was insane. But

579
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: for our younger listeners who really don't know Larry Centers

580
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: very well, he was only here in Buffalo for two years,

581
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: and you know, he was on the two thousand and

582
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: one team which only won three games. First year under

583
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: Greg Williams. He caught eighty balls in two thousand and one.

584
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 1: Back caught eighty balls. He had one hundred and five

585
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: targets room that year. Listen the full back, he was

586
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: a full back. They don't even exist anymore. He was

587
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: a fullback and he did it at the level above

588
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: a slot receiver. Yeah, and he was than a slot receiver.

589
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: I love playing with Larry. I'm a huge fan of his.

590
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm so excited that as a fullback he's getting recognition

591
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: and people are seeing that he was a great player,

592
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, we are all on that list,

593
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: so you know, whether anyone gets in or not. I

594
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: think it's a moot point. I think it's just a fact. Look,

595
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: they're mentioned in our names, mentioned Larry symbols, and people

596
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,959
Speaker 1: are gonna have to go back and look up Larry

597
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: Sinners tape and they will be excited and happy that

598
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: they did if they go back and look up his

599
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: film fourteen year career for him. And you know what

600
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: I like. I like when guys like this get nominated

601
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: who didn't have the benefit of playing on a lot

602
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: of winning teams. I mean, he played for the Cardinals

603
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: when they were not good, and he played for Washington

604
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: when they weren't very good, and he played for Buffalo

605
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: when they weren't very good. And so his whole fourteen

606
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: year career, it was hard for him to get any notoriety.

607
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: So I tip my hat to the Pro Football Hall

608
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: of Fame for nominating a guy like that who really

609
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: kind of toiled away from the spotlight. That guy wasn't

610
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: on a lot of primetime games in his career. No,

611
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: no he didn't, but he was hands down Larry primetime player.

612
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: If you can't take it from a former player that

613
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: can tell you, then you're not gonna take it for

614
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: him anyone. Larry was one of the best to ever

615
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah. Not just a grateful back, he was

616
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: one of the best to ever do it. Yeah. And

617
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: that eighty catch season he had with the Bills, he

618
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: went to the Pro Bowl that year. He was one

619
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: of the only Pro bowlers to go. And then yeah

620
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: you went with him, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that

621
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: was awesome. Uh. And then his other two Pro Bowls

622
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: in his career was in ninety five one hundred one

623
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: receptions whoa and for nine hundred and sixty two yards.

624
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: And then he the next year he had ninety nine catches.

625
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: Just that's ridiculous, ridiculous. It's amazing, amazing athlete, amazing football player,

626
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: and he deserves it. I mean, it's like a Steve Tasker,

627
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: like what Steve played in a lot of big games.

628
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, the Steve was there with the big names

629
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: of six that's in primetime games and stuff like that.

630
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: But you nailed it right on the head. Here's an

631
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: unsung hero. This is really what the NFL is all about.

632
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: This guy did not play him many primetime games. He

633
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: toiled on teams that were underappreciated and did not have

634
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: much success. But yet and though he shined, he shined

635
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: in those situations and other teams would come in and

636
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: half the factor in the play of Larry Center. So

637
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm totally tickled and excited for him and his family

638
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: that he's in this list. Because when I speak to people,

639
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, Brownie, all us football players, we all get

640
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: together at a particular place and we all talk about

641
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: who was the best, and you know, and all of

642
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: that stuff. And I'm always one of the guys that

643
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: loves to bring up the unsung heroes and people forgot,

644
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: like every one's easy to say Larry Allen was great

645
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: offensive line block. Oh that's easy, tip ray, Oh yeah,

646
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: that's easy. And when I say Larry centers, they like,

647
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: oh whoa wait a minute, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

648
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: he was pretty good. He was pretty good. Just imagine

649
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: if he was on a successful team and you had

650
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: him on it. So Larry is one of those deserving guys.

651
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: We really for him. I'm happy for him and his family,

652
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: and I'm so pumped that I played with him, and

653
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: I have stories. All right. So we've got a couple

654
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: of minutes here before we have to take another break,

655
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: but that is more than enough time to share with

656
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: our listeners the comment that coach McDermott made about the

657
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: very subject we're talking about. Should there be any concern

658
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: about the Bills looking past Houston this week knowing the

659
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs game is looming next week on Sunday Night Football?

660
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: And coach was asked today before practice Rube about you

661
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: know the fact that while you may not pay any

662
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: attention to a coach, the fact of the matter is

663
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: the Bill our seventeen point favorites this week. So coach

664
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: was asked, what is the importance about not overlooking the

665
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: Texans this week? Here was his very terse response. So

666
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: listen carefully. If you don't, you get your ass kicked.

667
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: And there it is. I love them, I love him.

668
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: He's perfect for Buffalo. He's right right, he's right on.

669
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, short and simple and sweet. You know, there's

670
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: no pontificating going on. He just gets right to the point.

671
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: You can't overlook any team in the NFL. And I

672
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: urge all the fans to have that type of feeling

673
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: for each game that they watched for a team like

674
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: oh we should have beat so no, no, no, it

675
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: celebrate like you just beat the best team. Every time

676
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: your team wins, you know, because it is really hard

677
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: to win games in the NFL. All right, we gotta

678
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we come back, there's

679
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: an interesting development between the big game up in New

680
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: England this week, Tom Brady going after his dad for

681
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: showing up on a New England podcast and throwing a

682
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: little dirt around about the breakup between Belichick and Brady.

683
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: We'll get into what that is all about when we

684
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: come back here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collid

685
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Couple of Bills would

686
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: like to thank this week's game sponsor or Great Lakes

687
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: Cancer Care Collaborative. Together We're bigger than cancer. Chris Brown

688
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: Ruben Brown here with you on a Wednesday prior to

689
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: their Week four matchup with the Houston Texans, but we

690
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: wanted to step aside briefly from that matchup for the

691
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: big one that is getting all the headlines across the

692
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: NFL landscape this week, and that is the Tom Brady

693
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: homecoming game Tampa at New England, which has been eagerly

694
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: anticipated in New England as you might imagine, and Tom

695
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: Brady's dad made headlines last week when he appeared on

696
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: a podcast and among the things he was asked was

697
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: whether Tom Brady Junior feels vindicated by winning a Super

698
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: Bowl in his first season with the Bucks. Brady's dad

699
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: did not hesitate his two word answer, damn right. That

700
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: was also followed by his description of how the relationship

701
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: ended in New England between Brady and Belichick. He basically

702
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: characterized it as the Patriots did not want him back.

703
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: So all of that naturally got huge traction in New England.

704
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: And then Tom Brady Junior appeared on a radio show

705
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: that he is on with Jim Gray. It's actually the

706
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: Let's Go with Tom Brady podcast. Larry Fitzgerald and Jim

707
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: Gray do it with him. So when the subject of

708
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: what his dad said the prior week came up, Reuben

709
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: Tom had a prepared statement. So I'm going to read

710
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: you the prepared statement. Okay, now, so it goes like

711
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: this I wanted to say, and it's really all I

712
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: have to say on the subject. Comments made by Thomas

713
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: Edward Brady, a seventy seven year old insurance company CEO

714
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: who should know better at this point in his life,

715
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily reflect the views or positions held by his son.

716
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Junior. So furthermore, should Tom Senior

717
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: continue to speak out on behalf of his son without

718
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: the express written consent, Tom Junior reserves the right to

719
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: eventually put him in a home against will. That's all

720
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: I have to say. Obviously that was done with tongue

721
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: in cheek, But holy mac across, Tom Junior, he's gonna

722
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: put you the home. I love it. I love it.

723
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: It's the same thing I threatened. My parents went, oh boy,

724
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, put you in the nursing home. Oh boy,

725
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: he did the right thing. Uh, they didn't not do

726
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: everything right. Come on, I'm getting sick of him, all right?

727
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: And is there is there any way but that both

728
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: of these teams can lose in this matchup? Can they

729
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: both lose? Is that even possible? Because I don't want

730
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: to see either one of them win? Right? I think? Um,

731
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: what do we got? The Bucks are three and oh,

732
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: and the Patriots are one and two. Obviously the Patriots

733
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: the Bucks got lost. Oh that's right, they just lost

734
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: the Rams last week. There two and one and the

735
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: and the Patriots or one and two. Your greater concern

736
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: is the Patriots. So if the Bucks can help you

737
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: put the Patriots in the rearview. I gotta say it, Rube.

738
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I think this is hard for me

739
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 1: to say. I can't believe I'm here, but here I am.

740
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: I believe I dislike Belichick more than Brady. I think

741
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: I think that's where I sit. Yeah. Yeah, Well, because

742
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: the game, and I've said this on the air before

743
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 1: the game last year, that I enjoyed more than any

744
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: other for the Bills and it's not even close. Is

745
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: the week sixteen Monday Night game thirty eight to nine

746
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: where Belichick slam on the phone up against the Microsoft

747
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: surface on the sideline because he's so frustrated. That was

748
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: twenty years of angst released in one Monday night football game.

749
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: It was glorious. I felt the same way. I definitely there.

750
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't playing it down a football. I had no

751
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: football ahead of me. But when I saw him slam

752
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: that down like thank you, I've wished I've been the

753
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 1: part of making that at him to throw it while

754
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: I was playing. But I think it's easier to dislike coaches,

755
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, than players, especially Tom. It's really hard to

756
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: not like him because he's he's good at his craft.

757
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: And he's doing it well, and and he's so nice

758
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: and soft spoken. And you know, that's what Jim says

759
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: all the time, Jim Kelly, He's like, Oh, Tom's a

760
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: great dude. That's what everybody says that knows him. Off

761
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: the field. I'm like, oh my god, he's a good

762
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: guy too. I'm gonna throw up here. Totally sucks, you know,

763
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: at least you know that we can all dislike Bill

764
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: because he's perceived as the boss. He's got to call

765
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: the shots. And none of us really ever like totally

766
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: like the boss unless you're Ralph Wilson. Other than that,

767
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: we don't like you, you know what I mean, We

768
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: disliked the boss unless the boss as someone else um

769
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: and in the coach has to make those tough decisions

770
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: to say, hey, I'm cutting you, I'm keeping. So it's

771
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: easy to dislike him. But as a player, it's a

772
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: lot tougher to dislike a player when you actually meet

773
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: him and he walks up to you and shakes your

774
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: hand and he knows who you are, You're like, ah,

775
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: I was so waiting to dislike you, Tom. I did

776
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: not want to like you at all. You've gone I

777
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: really much yeah, you go. I still want you to lose,

778
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: but I like you, you know, so I get it.

779
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: I totally get it. And it looks like he's discovered

780
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: the fountain of youth. I don't know what's in the

781
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: TV twelve stuff, but somehow, some way, it is working.

782
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: I will give Belichick a small dose of credit here,

783
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: just to remind us all every once in a while

784
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: that he does have a sense of humor. Apparently today,

785
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: for his weekly press conference with the Boston media, he

786
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: got up to the lecturn there and the first thing

787
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: he said is, how's everybody doing any stories this week? Guys?

788
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: So a good the sarcasm from Belichick there, which he

789
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: rarely does in that setting, as we know. Yeah, so,

790
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: at least he's uh, at least he's got the right mindset.

791
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: He can be fun, but he's not always fun. I

792
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: had a situation with him in the Pro Bowl when

793
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: he was a coach. He was taking over for Parcels

794
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: winning the whole Jets. Yeah, and they ended up as

795
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: the coaches at the Pro Bowl, and I totally flustered him.

796
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: He was not having all parts. How did you fluster him?

797
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: What did I gotta know this? Oh? All right, so

798
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: in the quick story, Ted Washington and I we never stretched.

799
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: We never did anything the coaches told us to do

800
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl. You're talking about, Yeah at the

801
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Okay, well, Boston Jones will tell you. Ruben

802
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: and Ted never stretched. We basically had party. We would

803
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: dance and we would sing. We even involved the coaches

804
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: and Wayne Phillips loved it. He would dance and sing

805
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: with us all the time. But um, so we're doing

806
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: it at the Pro Bowl, and you know it's the

807
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, no one's nobody cares. Yeah. Belichick comes by

808
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: and he's while Ted and I are doing that song

809
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: and dance that we usually do through stretch it and

810
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: he's like, aren't you gonna stretch it all? And I

811
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: get up and I grabbed his both his arms and

812
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: I start dancing and throwing his arms around and stuff.

813
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: And he could not fight to get away from me

814
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: fast enough and I was holding I had a death

815
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: grip on his on his arm so he couldn't get away.

816
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: And he was so ticked off about that accident that

817
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: I did. And from that point, I'm like, this guy

818
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: hates me never and he would always show me that

819
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: face that you said that everyone gets that that stone

820
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: look every time he would see me give me that

821
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 1: scowl after day Yeah yeah, yeah, oh boy. So so yeah,

822
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: it was definitely you because he eventually signed Ted. Yeah,

823
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: no problem with Ted dancing. Why do you have a

824
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: problem with you dancing? What the hell? I'm not having

825
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: moving Brown here? Okay, but it was it was a

826
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: lot of Ted instigating it. But you know, it was

827
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: a part of our routine. Yeah, I think you remember.

828
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: We used to always lay around and joke around the

829
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: stretch time and laugh and dance and you know, try

830
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: to make things fun. And Belichick wasn't going for Yeah,

831
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: well it was you've You've moved up another notch on

832
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: my respect meter with that that you took on Belichick

833
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: head on grabbed him by the side handles and shook

834
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: him around trying to get him to dance. Apparently there

835
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: are no days off for him. Uh. We we have

836
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: to take a break here because when we come back,

837
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to four one one on the Houston

Speaker 1: at a Steve Tasker who has put all over the

842
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: field kind of unique. He was kind of a dual

843

Speaker 1: with Ruben Brown filling in for Steve task Her here

847
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: today and we're pleased to be joined at this time

848
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: by Texans Insider from Houston Texans dot Com DP, Sadu

849
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: uh Deep. Thanks for joining us. We appreciate the time

850
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 1: as always, and we're already talking DP about the big

851
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: point spread and the dangers of a trap game here

852
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: for the Bills because they have the Chiefs next week

853
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. It's a classic trap game. And

854
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: while I believe that coach McDermott will keep his team

855
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: on the straight and narrow this week, stranger things have happened.

856
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: What has been the talk down there this week though,

857
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: as they try to bounce back from that loss to Carolina,

858
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: knowing that it will be Davis mills first career roadstart. Yeah, Chris,

859
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: first of all, thanks for having me on. You know,

860
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: the points for it is a funny thing because whatever

861
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: whoever's placing the odds right now in Vegas, they've been

862
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: wrong on every single game so far. In Week one,

863
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: the Texans were favored to lose at home to Jacksonville.

864
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: They ended up winning that game decisively. In the second

865
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: week at Cleveland, they were favored to lose by a

866
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns and they were in it in that game.

867
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: They were actually tied at halftime. They covered the spread

868
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: in that game, and then in Week three against Carolina

869
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: as well. So I don't think anybody's too concerned about,

870
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, the point spread right now heading into to Buffalo,

871
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: because no one's really been right about the Texans. I mean,

872
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to figure out what this Texans team is

873
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: and what it's made of. So certainly the Texans know

874
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: they have a big challenge and facing Josh Allen and

875
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: this Bill's defense, and with a rookie quarterback at that,

876
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: But I think people felt pretty good about Davis Mills

877
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: and his second career start. That first start was at home,

878
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: but it was on a short week. It was against

879
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: a tough Carolina team, but you know how it is

880
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: on short weeks, it's really hard to prep for a

881
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: new team, and then you're a rookie quarterback, so you've

882
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: got a short week, so the odds were stacked against them.

883
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: There were also a ton of injuries that came out

884
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: of Week two in Cleveland, so we had a lot

885
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: of starters that were out on defense. We had a

886
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,720
Speaker 1: couple of wide receivers that were out on offense. So

887
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: you know, the entire team wasn't spiring on all cylinders.

888
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: So I think with this week a little bit of

889
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: extra us heading into Buffalo, the Texans feel good about

890
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: getting some of their players back. They feel a little

891
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: bit better about opening up the playbook with Davis Mills

892
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more. He's got, you know, game and

893
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: a half under his belt, So certainly that's encouraging for

894
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: Texans fins. But they're not taking this Bills game lightly.

895
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: And you know what, if they want to consider this

896
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: a trap game the Bills, then the Texans are here

897
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: for it because they would love to get a win

898
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,919
Speaker 1: up on the road this week. Well, DP, I think

899
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: the Texans is definitely a dangerous team because there's a

900
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: lot of talent on that team. Can you speak to

901
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: the talent that they have and that they're underrated. Yeah.

902
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean this offseason was a crazy fast one for

903
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: Nick Casario, general manager, first year with the Texans. He

904
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: signed so many new players. I think at one point

905
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: in training camp we counted fifty three new players that

906
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,919
Speaker 1: were on this squad that we're not here in twenty twenty.

907
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: So he signed a bunch of guys, a bunch of

908
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: guys that had a lot to prove, that had been

909
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: with other teams, that just you know, wanted to to

910
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: put some good film out there. Justin Britt is a

911
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: great example. He's a center. He was a starter for

912
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: Seattle as a rookie. He started in the Super Bowl,

913
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: and he played every single game that he started. He

914
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: started every single game that he played until a knee

915
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: injury took him out in twenty nineteen. The Seahawks let

916
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: him go. He spent twenty twenty just rehabbing and recovering,

917
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: and you know, his feelings were up to say the least,

918
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: a bit hurt. I'm paraphrasing here. He wanted to get

919
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: back on the field and show what he's made of.

920
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: He's a stalwart of that offensive line. He comes back.

921
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: You've got Laramie Tunsel there on the left. And then

922
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: you've got running backs like mark Ingram, who was with

923
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: David Culley in Baltimore, and man, has he been a

924
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: breath of fresh air in that locker room. He's a vet,

925
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: he's been there, he's won some games, and he really

926
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: rallies the guys behind him. He's done some good things

927
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: in the run. Game has suffered early on here, but

928
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: every time mark Ingram has the ball, he just seems

929
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: to carry guys with him. I mean, he just has

930
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: that desire to succeed and do well, you know. And

931
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: on the opposing side on defense, you've got guys like

932
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: Christian Kirksey. You've got guys like Millie Collins on the

933
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: D line. You sign a bunch of d lineman to

934
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: fit this four three scheme that Lovey wants to employ.

935
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: Coma gruge Hill a linebacker back there who played for

936
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles during that superwun You've but a lot of

937
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: guys that have played in some really big important games

938
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: that feel like they've got a lot of football left

939
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: in them. Terrence Mitchell is another guy in the secondary,

940
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: so a lot of experience, and so I think that

941
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: with the chemistry when you've got guys that have played

942
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of years in this league

943
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of different systems. They caught on pretty

944
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: quickly and the chemistry has really started to gel and

945
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: and they're professionals, so there is a lot of talent

946
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: on this team, you know. Unfortunately, injuries like to Tyrod

947
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 1: Taylor in Cleveland, he was playing so well. I think

948
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: he'd only had one incompletion before we went out with

949
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: a hamstring, and that was his very last throw. I mean,

950
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: he was nearly perfect in Cleveland. He just so much

951
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: poise the way he commits a pocket. I'm in You

952
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: guys up there know what Tyrod is all about. You know,

953
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: he had some of his best years in Buffalo and

954
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: he really felt like he was back there again. So

955
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: unfortunately he's going to be out for a few more games.

956
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: He's on IR. But this squad, Rubin, You're right, it's

957
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: really come together with a lot of veterans. They just

958
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: have to put it together and really get things going

959
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: out with Davis Mills. The one thing that I noticed

960
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: DP just kind of looking at some of their games

961
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: and then checking some of the numbers, was they've been

962
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: a very good first half scoring team. I think they're

963
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: like seventh in the league. And first half scoring, I

964
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: think there's seven of nine on red zone possessions, which

965
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: is up among the top in the AFC. So what

966
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: have you seen that differs from the first half to

967
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: the second half in some of these games that they

968
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: can't pull you know, some of these games out after

969
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: getting off to good starts. Well, I mean, let's take

970
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville game out of it, because they dominated in

971
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: that performance in Week one. But Week two at Cleveland,

972
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely think Tyrod Taylor going out at

973
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: halftime and then you throw Davis Mills in the mix

974
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: in the second half against a really tough Cleveland front,

975
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know that was that was

976
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: a learning from He still threw a touchdown pass to

977
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, but you know, the offense just couldn't quite

978
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: get into a groove, and I think a lot of

979
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: that was just you're not really able to open up

980
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: the playbook the way that you want with a rookie,

981
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: especially when he's just sort of throwing it. He was

982
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: told in the locker room that he'd be starting the

983
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: second half, so at halftime, you know, it did obviously

984
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: in Cleveland that got away from them. On the defensive

985
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: side of the ball, They've just had so many misstackles.

986
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: They had a lot of injuries on the defensive side

987
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: of the ball. You had guys coming in and out

988
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: of that game and other guys subbing in, so you know,

989
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: they have really allowed a lot of rushing yards in

990
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: the second half. And Christian Kirksey, the linebacker here for

991
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: the Texans, he's talked about it head coach and David

992
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: Culley has talked about it, miss tackles, not covering guys

993
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: as aggressively as they need to know. When the opposing

994
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: team starts to get away from you, they start to

995
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: run the ball a little bit more, and then you're

996
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: forced into passing situations because you're trailing, or you just

997
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: don't get the ball as many times as you'd like.

998
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: Like in the first half, they've come out really fast.

999
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: They really needed to figure out the second half because

1000
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: it happened again against Carolina. They went into halftime trailing

1001
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: by a point. Actually they should have and tie. Davis

1002
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Mills led a two minute drive to throw a touchdown

1003
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: pass right before the end of the half. Joey Slim

1004
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 1: missed the extra point. Otherwise it would have been tied.

1005
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: So they were down seven six at halftime to Carolina,

1006
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: which nobody really felt they'd be in that game, especially

1007
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: with Davis Mills as a rookie starting his first game

1008
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: on a short week. But the same thing happened again.

1009
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: They had a lot of miss tackles in the second half.

1010
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: They just let the run game get away from them.

1011
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: They just weren't able to convert on third down. They

1012
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 1: were one of nine on third down against Carolina. That's

1013
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: just not going to be sustainable if you want to

1014
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: have some scoring drives in the second half. But with

1015
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: this week's game, they're hoping to get some of their

1016
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: defensive players back. They had a lot of injuries, like

1017
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 1: I said, on both sides of the ball, so they're

1018
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: hoping that getting guys like Justin reidback, Terrence Mitchell back,

1019
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: Halma Gruge hillback that that'll certainly help. And they all

1020
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: eyes are on stopping the run and not missing tackles

1021
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: and playing the coverage more aggressively. It's certainly been a

1022
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: point of emphasis. They've had ten days to think about

1023
01:00:55,280 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: that loss to Carolina, and that's something they're definitely working on. Well.

1024
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: I definitely think a hitting factor in this game coming up,

1025
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be the familiar communists that a lot

1026
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff has. You know, these both regardless

1027
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: of whether the players tackle better or whatever, this week,

1028
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be putting in them the right schemes in

1029
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: the situations. And you have two coaching staffs. They're really

1030
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: good at this. You know, these guys are in their

1031
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: positions as head coaches and coordinators because they have the

1032
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: ability to assess the talent and put them in the

1033
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: right place. I myself know Lovey Smith and what he's done,

1034
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: and we're watching what Buffalo is doing weekend and week.

1035
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Can you speak to that matchup really because you know

1036
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: there's a matchup of coaches too. Yeah. I actually wrote

1037
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: a story about it on Houston Texans dot com because

1038
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: David Culley goes back to Buffalo where he served two

1039
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: years twenty seventeen twenty eighteen as a quarterbacks coach at

1040
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: sort of the years between Tyrod Taylor and Josh Allen

1041
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: as a ricky quarterback, and then of course Sean McDermott.

1042
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean the two of them were together for over

1043
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: a decade in Philadelphia. Sean McDermott started off as an

1044
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: assistant in the scouting department, worked his way up to

1045
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and David Culley was the wide receiver's coach

1046
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: for about a decade under Andy Reid. So they've got

1047
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: their Andy Reid ties in Philly, and then David Colly

1048
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: was in Buffalo, so he calls Leslie Fraser one of

1049
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: his closest and dearest friends. They certainly do have a

1050
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: history of these coaching staffs, but yeah, to your point,

1051
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: they really know each other well. Now it works both ways.

1052
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott knows what David Cully's offense looks like and

1053
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: David Cully spoke about it this morning that Leslie Frasier

1054
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: being one of his good friends, he knows how tough

1055
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: of a defense his matchup this is going to be

1056
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. He said. Fraser doesn't just rush four guys.

1057
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean he'll bring five man pressure. He will go

1058
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: man to man on third down. These are all things

1059
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: that they'll be looking for and they'll be preparing Davis

1060
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: Mills for. And at the same time, he knows really

1061
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: well what Josh Allen does well, even though he was

1062
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 1: just a rookie. They've obviously seen how he's developed over

1063
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: these past few years. He's playing lights out right now.

1064
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: He's putting up tremendous passing performances weekend and week out.

1065
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: So I do think there's something to be said for

1066
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: these coaching staffs to each other, but I think the

1067
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: advantages sort of washed themselves out because you've got coaches

1068
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball that know each other

1069
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: so well. You already mentioned you already made well. I

1070
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: was gonna say as a player, was always difficult going

1071
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: and playing a team that had coaching staffs that knew

1072
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: each other so well, because sometimes you can lose the plot.

1073
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: You're so concerned that they know you so well you

1074
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: want to try and implement things that maybe not maybe

1075
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: it's not your personality. So I think that's a hidden

1076
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: factor in this meetup with these two teams. They know

1077
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: each other so well. But who's gonna, you know, step

1078
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: out of the script and not be normal trying to

1079
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: find a trick that either is gonna help or hind it. Yeah,

1080
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: that's a good question and it'll be interesting to see

1081
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday DP. You already mentioned that there's extra time

1082
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: for this Houston roster to get healthy. It's also extra

1083
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: time for Davis Mills to prepare. And I was very

1084
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: interested in coach Culley's comment yesterday that was on Houston

1085
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: Texans dot Com where he said they're going to give

1086
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: a little more to him, put a little more on

1087
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: his plate with respect to the game plan. Do you

1088
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: think that's a byproduct of the extra time that he

1089
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: has to prepare coming off a Thursday night game, or

1090
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: do you think it's because he showed them something in

1091
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: that first start. I mean, Davis Mills since he got here,

1092
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: has certainly shown a lot of improvement. I mean in

1093
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: training camp he was throwing a lot of Aaron balls.

1094
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: He throw some great passes, and he throw some interceptions,

1095
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: and we saw him improve throughout the days of camp.

1096
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: I would say from the beginning of camp to the

1097
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: end of camp. His decision making got better. His passes

1098
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: were great when they were on target. And I think

1099
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: that just behind Tyrod Taylor, He's got a lot of boys.

1100
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: He was pretty calm in that Cleveland game for coming

1101
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: out and playing in such a loud environment on the

1102
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: road after the half. It's not like he got first

1103
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: team reps all week. I mean he came in as

1104
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 1: a backup, so he wasn't even really playing with these

1105
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers and then he was sort of thrown into

1106
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: the mix. But you know, he played a good game.

1107
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: He through a hut chown pass to Brandon Cooks, and

1108
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: the guys have really rallied around him. I mean, they

1109
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: know what a big challenge it is for Davis Mills.

1110
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's got an extra ten days. I think

1111
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: they're putting that on his shoulders because A. He has

1112
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: the extra time, and B I think they feel like

1113
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: he can handle it. He's shown poise in the game,

1114
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: and I think they want to open up the playbook

1115
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I feel like they had just

1116
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: the short week, so they couldn't do all the things

1117
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: that they wanted to do that they would have done

1118
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: had Tyrod Taylor been in the game, and the run

1119
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: game suffered. They only rushed for forty one yards, so

1120
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: they've got to get that figured out too. I think

1121
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: if he's got some more checks, he's able to do

1122
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: some more things. They get the run game going, they

1123
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: can stretch the field a little bit with him, and

1124
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: he didn't throw any interceptions in that game against Carolina,

1125
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: but you know, he's got some great weapons, and Brandon

1126
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: Cooks and you know Danny Amondola, he was in for

1127
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: that Cleveland game, he was out. And Eco Collins is

1128
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: a rookie that Davis Mills through to a lot, the

1129
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: rookie out of Michigan. You know, he's on ir so

1130
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to play with the targets that he has.

1131
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: But hopefully this week, you know, he's developed a little

1132
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: bit more chemistry. He's gotten the first team reps now

1133
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: for another week in a row. Last week, I mean,

1134
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: it really didn't practice all week, and you know how

1135
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: it is on a short week. You have a day

1136
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: of a walks through. You've got one practice which isn't

1137
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: really a practice because you're recovering, and then you travel

1138
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: or you know, you get ready for the game. So

1139
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: this is going to be the first full week of practice.

1140
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: And I think from what they've seen out of him,

1141
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: both in the game and in the practice, they feel

1142
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: like he can handle more. He's picking up the playbook

1143
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: quite well. And you know he's got Pet Hamilton, He's

1144
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 1: got Tim Kelly who's done a fantastic job of calling

1145
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: really creative plays and that really played a Davis Mills strengths,

1146
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: and he's mobile. I mean, he may not be like

1147
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor fast, but I think people are surprised with

1148
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: how much mobility he has. So I certainly expect them

1149
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 1: to do a few more things with Davis Mills because

1150
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: they've got a couple more weeks now before Tyrod Taylor's

1151
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: even eligible to come off. IR, you got any more

1152
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: rube or You're good? No, it sounds great, You're You're

1153
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: right on a point. And I'm gonna tell you any

1154
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: young quarterback that has Pep Hamilton as a coach, they'd

1155
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: beware because Pep is very good. One other thing I

1156
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: did want to ask you, Dpe was with regard to

1157
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: the kicking situation. I know it's been Joey sly with

1158
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Kaimi Fairbearon On. IR. I saw they designated him to return.

1159
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: Has a decision been made yet or is that something

1160
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: that's going to come later in the week as to

1161
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: whether Fairbearon will be up for Sunday's game? Right, Well,

1162
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: you know what the new league rules at. Once the

1163
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 1: players designated a return off IR, they've got the team's

1164
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 1: got a twenty one day practice window, so you can

1165
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,919
Speaker 1: activate him anytime in that twenty one days. I don't

1166
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: think they're going to need that twenty one days. In fact,

1167
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: David Coley seemed pretty encouraged that Kine would be able

1168
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday against the Bills. Now he's going

1169
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: to kick for the first time in practice today. I

1170
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: was at practice on Monday. They just had to walk

1171
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: through both he and Joey Slyer on the but we

1172
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: didn't see any kicking in the media portion of practice.

1173
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: And Kayene Fairbaron was actually fine all throughout camp. It

1174
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: was before the third preseason game in warmups he tweaked

1175
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: something in his leg and then couldn't play, and so

1176
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: everyone thought it was going to be a minor issue.

1177
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: And actually a defensive back, Justin Reid handled kickoffs for

1178
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: that game because you know, it's the third preseason game,

1179
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: so why not. But they signed Joey sly Like very

1180
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: quickly to the practice squad and then to the active roster,

1181
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: tried to get the kicking operation in place, and while

1182
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: sly has done a good job, they really would like

1183
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: to have Kayne back. I mean, he has been tried

1184
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: and true. He's eighty seven percent on field goals. He's

1185
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: tied for the second most or tied for the most

1186
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: fifty plus field goals in Texans history. So that operation

1187
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: goes really well. When Kayne is back there, I would

1188
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: expect that if he's practicing and kicking today and he

1189
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have any setbacks, that he would play on Sunday. Okay,

1190
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: good enough, DP. As always, we appreciate the time. Are

1191
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: you traveling? Will we see up here? I usually travel

1192

Speaker 1: He's been around some some really great players, so extremely knowledgeable. Um. God,

1220
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: we get to spend the time that we did, I

1221
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: don't know obviously in Baltimore, and he waited this long

1222
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 1: to get his chance in Houston. So I'm happy for him,

1223
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it'll be fun playing against you know,

1224
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: his team and good to see him, you know, after

1225
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: after the game. I ain't quite a bit. I mean

1226
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: as a rookie coming in, Uh, just trying to be

1227
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: all eyes and years and listening to you know, what

1228
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 1: the coaching staff is is talking about and trying to

1229
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: teach us. And um, you know when we when we

1230
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: brought Derek Anderson and Matt Barkley, and I think that's

1231
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: what really kind of changed the room around. Um. But

1232
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,640
Speaker 1: to have, like I said, have something like Coli that

1233
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: had such great knowledge and it's been around the game

1234
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: for so long, and to listen to what he had

1235
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: to say, UM, extremely helpful to you. Maybe you could

1236
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: go back to your early consistencies for one more week.

1237
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: If he cut, if I don't plan on it, don't

1238
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: plan on it. Um, yeah I guess no, no yeah

1239
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: he uh no he yeah, no, no, I get that. Yeah.

1240
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 1: He's uh, he's awesome. I remember just obviously like the

1241
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: talks we had, just being extremely lightened and loose, and UM,

1242
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: he enjoys this game so much, and like I said,

1243
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 1: he waited so long for his chance. I'm happy that

1244
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: he got it, and um, you know, hoping that he

1245
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: thrives and except except against us, you know, we gotta

1246
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 1: go out there put our best best effort against a

1247
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 1: really good team that they got. And I know all

1248
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: the preconceived notions that they had coming in this season,

1249
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 1: all the off season stuff that they dealt with. Um,

1250
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 1: you know, they come out and they they are a team.

1251
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, they play extremely hard. Um. They

1252
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: got some really good players, really talented players on defense.

1253
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: They do a really good job of taking the ball away.

1254
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: So again, whatever people want to say, it's a week

1255
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 1: to week league and this is a team that it's

1256
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of games. And we got to

1257
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: be extremely prepared for him and put it put our

1258
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 1: best forward, best foot forward, and prepare a game plan

1259
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: and go out there and execute it the best that

1260
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: we can. Experience teaches you that, right, And you've talked

1261
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: about how consistent you try to be in terms of

1262
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 1: your approach to each game. But but what is having

1263
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,679
Speaker 1: a good performance like this past Sunday kind of under

1264
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: your belt this year doing for you in terms of

1265
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: your preparation confidence? Yeah, I mean I think you know,

1266
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: it just gets the ball rolling. But again, there are

1267
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: still a lot of things that we can learn from

1268
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,679
Speaker 1: from this tape that we just watched, UM and apply

1269
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: it to hopefully this this next week and weeks to come,

1270
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: but just getting into that rhythm, um, having the confidence

1271
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: seeing some guys do some different things. But again, like

1272
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: I said, it's it's a week to week league, and

1273
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: you got to switch up what you're doing every week.

1274
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna be game planning and they get

1275
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: paid on that side of the ball too, So you know,

1276
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: this game plan that we're putting together, it's got to

1277
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 1: be good and at the end of the day, we

1278
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: gotta go out and execute and make the right calls.

1279
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: UM myself, you know, put the ball where it needs

1280
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: to be and give our guys a chance to catch

1281
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: the ball and run. You know, this is a ben

1282
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: don't break defense, and like I said, they do a

1283
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: great job of taking the ball away, so um, we

1284
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: gotta make a huge emphasis on that. This week. The

1285
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Scott team's gonna do a really good job for us

1286
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: and UM in terms of trying to get the ball out.

1287
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:47,679
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, we're preparing for it. Gosh. Brian

1288
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: dave Ball this week said it feels like a decade

1289
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: ago that playoff loss down in Houston. You were really

1290
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: honest about you basically said after that game, you weren't

1291
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:58,439
Speaker 1: going to be over it until I think you had

1292
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: a chance to play again. Um, does it feel that

1293
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: long ago to you? And when you reflect back on

1294
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: that time and sort of maybe what you took away

1295
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,679
Speaker 1: from that loss and how it maybe you know, drove

1296
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: you that offseason? Um, what do you what do you

1297
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 1: think back too? Yeah? I mean, um, obviously no one

1298
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: likes losing. No one likes losing the playoffs. Um, especially

1299
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: the lead that we had going in or going into

1300
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: that second half. Obviously it wasn't it wasn't a fun

1301
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: ride home, and it was a long off season. But um,

1302
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: just the knowledge and experience that I gained from that

1303
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: things I took away from that game, I think, most

1304
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: importantly just doing whatever we can to get home games

1305
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And I think even looking back at

1306
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 1: this last or this last season, um, having two playoff

1307
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: games at home and winning those games and obviously going

1308
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: on the road into a hostile environment. Um, you know

1309
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: it's no small task. So um, but again, just as

1310
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: far as my game goes, focusing on things that I

1311
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: need to do better, I needed to do better and

1312
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: I still need to do better on some account. So um,

1313
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 1: each week's a better possibility for me to learn and grow.

1314
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,679
Speaker 1: But that one, since it was so long between games,

1315
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: it really really drove me. It kind of feels like

1316
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: milepost games in your career. I think it's in the

1317
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: New England game where you talked about how you got

1318
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: to take better care of the football and you use

1319
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 1: that sort of driving going forward. Is this is that

1320
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,480
Speaker 1: that lost to Houston? Is that kind of a milepost

1321
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 1: game in your career that you took a lot from it? Um?

1322
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you can say that. Yeah. I

1323
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 1: think just the attention to detail, it started putting into

1324
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: offseason work, mechanics um, and like coach says, being a

1325
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: student of the game and just loving and embracing the

1326
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 1: process that this game is all about, you know, because

1327
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 1: you know it's not an easy game. If it were easy,

1328
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: everybody would do it. And it's not easy to score.

1329
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 1: It's not easy to win this league. So when you

1330
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 1: do that, you need to enjoy it and embrace it,

1331
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 1: but continue to find things to work on. There's been

1332
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: so much to talk about rhythm and finding rhythm with

1333
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: this offense the first two weeks, and it seems you

1334
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: got to r them. What is it that can get

1335
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: you into a rhythm. I know they're being sound like

1336
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: an open ended question, but is there a time when

1337
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,759
Speaker 1: you feel like I got it, Like something clicks early

1338
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 1: on the game, when you when you walk into the stadium.

1339
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: Is there? Um? Yeah, I mean I think just as

1340
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: I've kind of grown, um, just feeling and understanding my body,

1341
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:21,679
Speaker 1: how it's feeling. How to make sure that I'm feeling

1342
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 1: my best and feeling like I'm the peak athlete going

1343
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 1: into that game. I think it has a good warm

1344
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: up that goes into it, and then ultimately kind of

1345
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the first couple drives of the game, just finding completions

1346
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: early on moving the ball, do what we need to do,

1347
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, And coach McDermott talks a lot about, um,

1348
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, making us and offense being two dimensional and

1349
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: making the other team one dimensional. So that's obviously getting

1350
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: off to a fast start and making sure that you

1351
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: know we're not just passing every every down and they

1352
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: know we're passing every down. We need to be able

1353
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,879
Speaker 1: to switch it up and be as balanced as possible.

1354
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: So I think getting off to a fast start really

1355
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: helps with that Windy Sunday. Did you find it challenging?

1356
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 1: Was it a challenging day to throw in the wind

1357
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 1: or what what are you doing? Yeah, I mean it

1358
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 1: was it was a little windy, but um, like I said,

1359
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: when when our guys could open and make the plays

1360
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: that we do. Um, you know it's it's pretty easy

1361
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 1: to throw those guys father, is it like you check?

1362
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: But whether when you get out Sunday morning or do

1363
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: you how much you concern yourself with Now? I usually

1364
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,719
Speaker 1: check it, uh, because I've learned so far, like seven

1365
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: days in advance and Buffalo, it absolutely means nothing what

1366
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 1: the radar says. So usually probably Thursday night Friday morning

1367
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,799
Speaker 1: was when I check and there's really nothing to adjust

1368
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: other than if it's windy, just driving it a little more.

1369
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: If it's what making sure we're doing what ball drill? Um?

1370
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: I know Coach Leves pouring water on the football and

1371
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: making it you know, a terrible day for me, but um,

1372
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: it's definitely needed and it's warranted and appreciate him for

1373
01:17:55,520 --> 01:18:01,680
Speaker 1: doing that. You're a big favorite Hencities on Deck. Do

1374
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: you believe in trap games or is that something that

1375
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 1: we made up in the media and fans made up. Yeah,

1376
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know we were playing them next to be honest, Um,

1377
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: you know, our our focuses on the Houston Texans and

1378
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: uh you know that's our only only goaling side, you know,

1379
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: the field off the field. In his short time here,

1380
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,520
Speaker 1: how important was it for you guys to be rewarded

1381
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: in building that establishing that reward that you did. Um,

1382
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when you constantly do the right things,

1383
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: you're constantly in the right spot, you're a great person

1384
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: off the field, that you get opportunities like that and

1385
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 1: more often than not, you're gonna make them. You know.

1386
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 1: It's it's just a guy that you know, consistently does

1387
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: his job and um, that's football. For you do the

1388
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 1: right thing, it's gonna get noticed one way or another.

1389
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that we got that going. But again,

1390
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 1: he's it's that wasn't a flute game. That wasn't a

1391
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: lucky or by chance, Like this guy just does the

1392
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: right things. Um, And he's he's awesome to play with

1393
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 1: and he's such a good presence in our locker room

1394
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: and I'm thankful that we have him. And what would

1395
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: you what what are the right things? And when what

1396
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:23,720
Speaker 1: was not there? Maybe the first two games that were

1397
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: just kind of like off between UM, I don't know

1398
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: if anything was was off really, but again, just going

1399
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: back to the Miami game, that second play, him blocking

1400
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: down field and springing motor um the next possession making

1401
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: adjustment on a ball and throwing his hand up and

1402
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: making a big fight play for us and allowing us

1403
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 1: to score again on that position. He just again he's

1404
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 1: not afraid to go and do his job and dig

1405
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: out a safety or or get downfield and block for

1406
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: his other receivers. And he's not afraid to clear out

1407
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: on a scene ball and you know, let the dig

1408
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: behind him come in and UM, you know, he just

1409
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: again he just wants to win and help the team

1410
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:10,719
Speaker 1: win football games, UM, at any cost. The offensive player

1411
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: of the week. Mean, what is it affirm about? You

1412
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 1: were about the team? Means we won the game and

1413
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: we're playing good football. That's It's really what it all

1414
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: comes down to, UM, guys making plays and it takes

1415
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: you know, all eleven if not twenty two or how

1416
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: you ever, however you look at it, thirty three guys

1417
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: on special teams as well, So it's about it on

1418
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: yourself and like you know, pointing out the bath throws

1419
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. When you have performance like

1420
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: you did Sunday and like things go well overall, do

1421
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,480
Speaker 1: you like kind of take a moments also like acknowledge

1422
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 1: the good things, the things that went well, or um, yeah,

1423
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, so far, it's I've learned

1424
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but never being too high, never

1425
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: being too low. Um. And again the film is never

1426
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: as good, never as bad as as as it seems

1427
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: on game day. Um, still a lot to learn from

1428
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 1: and we need to understand that we're only you know,

1429
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,560
Speaker 1: three weeks into this season. We had a lot of

1430
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: football left. So one win, one loss, whatever it may be,

1431
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: doesn't define us. We got to keep stacking weeks and

1432
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 1: trying to be the best versions of ourselves. Is there

1433
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: any validation you know that you said for two weeks

1434
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: that you just have to kind of take what defenses

1435
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: give you, and then when you ultimately do that, it

1436
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 1: leads to such a successful day for the Omen. Yeah,

1437
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: and it just kind of again shows me making the

1438
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: right decisions, doing the right things is gonna ultimately lead

1439
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: to team success. So um, gotta gotta find ways to

1440
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: keep doing that and not getting bored with some of

1441
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 1: the underneath stuff and just trusting, trusting our guys, and

1442
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, as we've seen or as we saw on Sunday,

1443
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,719
Speaker 1: getting the balls into our playmaker's hands, usually good things happen.

1444
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: You guys are seventeen point favorites this week, and you

1445
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,719
Speaker 1: guys may not even understand that, but back in twenty

1446
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: eighteen you were sixteen and a half point underdogs and

1447
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 1: when in it beating Minnesota, you guys cared all about

1448
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 1: the lines? Or do you do understand the fact that

1449
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,639
Speaker 1: anything can happen and that you've been in that underdog

1450
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 1: spot where you can play free. Now it's a it's

1451
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: a week to week league. We understand that it didn't

1452
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: matter who we're playing, doesn't matter how many points would get,

1453
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: how many points we give um on paper, that's nice

1454
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: and danny, But when you're you know, out there throwing

1455
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,719
Speaker 1: the ball in conditions and hitting and guys are pumped

1456
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: up and juices are flowing, anything can happen in any

1457
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 1: given Sunday. But like I said, we need to go

1458
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: execrat a game plan. Thank you, all right? So that's

1459
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen addressing the media there, Ruben, and I do

1460
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: have to ask he was posed the question about the

1461
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: trap game, you heard it, And he followed up by saying,

1462
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: I didn't even know we were playing the Chiefs next week.

1463
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not buying that is that. There's no

1464
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: way you don't know you have the Chiefs next right

1465
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: way to go, coaches, Latin clear, I know the first

1466
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: meeting of the week that was addressed and put the bed.

1467
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: So you know, Josh is towing the company line, and

1468
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 1: rightfully so because he's the face of it. So that's

1469
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: what they should. I'll be saying, but you know, every

1470
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 1: player knows, just like the fans, who's on their schedule.

1471
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:27,600
Speaker 1: I guess it is important that he is saying the

1472
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: right thing, Here's no question about it. I also appreciated

1473
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: his weather comment. Somebody was asking him, Hey, do you

1474
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 1: check the weather a week before the game? The wind?

1475
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: You know, when do you check that stuff? And he's like,

1476
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 1: I usually check it in the morning. I go out

1477
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: in the stadium for warm ups and I see what

1478
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: the weather's like. Then he said, in the time that

1479
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: I've lived here, I've learned checking checking the weather forecast

1480
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: a week in advance does absolutely no good, which is

1481
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: one hundred percent true because it changes four times between

1482
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 1: Monday and Sunday. Buffalo is the only place that I've

1483
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: been where I experienced lightning and snowstorm at the same time,

1484
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 1: a white out and lightning, and so uh, he's right

1485
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: on the weather at Buffalo unpredictable. I myself never checked

1486
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: it until the day of the game. Yeah, and I

1487
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,679
Speaker 1: believe what you're describing. Their ruben is called thunder snow.

1488
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 1: Now they have a name for it, thunder snow. Yeah.

1489
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Like you've had lightning and thunder during a snowstorm, they

1490
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: call it thunder snow. The Weather Channel guy Jim Cantori,

1491
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: he got caught at one time. He was like he

1492
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: wasn't scared, he was excited. He was so pumped. He

1493
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 1: caught it on camera. He was like he was going nuts.

1494
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 1: There was a little out of control quite frankly. Yeah,

1495
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: I thought it was the end of the world. Like

1496
01:24:55,560 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember a Bills game against the Giants

1497
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: w it was oh seven or eight, and it was

1498
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: it was. It was beautiful first half of the game. Halftime,

1499
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 1: the front comes through and the wind and rain, the

1500
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: rains coming sideways. It's almost freezing rain and the wind

1501
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 1: was blowing so bad that the uprights at the tunnel

1502
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: end got tilted. They got tilted off their anchor, and

1503
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: it took him an extra fifteen minutes to get it

1504
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: back level again before they could play the second half.

1505
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 1: And nobody could throw the ball like nobody Elway in

1506
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: his prime, Josh. Nobody was throwing in this wind, and

1507
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: it became a running fest. And the Giants at that

1508
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 1: time had a little bit better run game than the Bill,

1509
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: so they ended up winning the game. But it was

1510
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 1: from first half to second half it was literally night

1511
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: and day with the weather. And that's that's in ten minutes.

1512
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 1: Forget about you know Monday's forecast for Sunday. This are

1513
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:06,599
Speaker 1: just a waste of everybody's time. We have to take

1514
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 1: a break here, but when Ruben and I return, we're

1515
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: actually closing this thing up for the day. One Bill's

1516
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalid to Health. Ruben and I back

1517
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 1: in a second here on Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1518
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: so we're here at the end of the show, and

1519
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: we have to get to the tweetcheet. Should there be

1520
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 1: any concern about the Bills looking past Houston and why?

1521
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,719
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1522
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 1: moving company the Buffalo Bills and addicted to golf. Ruben says, Yes,

1523
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: it's a week to week league. No matter how good

1524
01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 1: a team you are, Stunning losses to bad teams can

1525
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: happen one game at a time. Go Bills. Meanwhile, Jack says,

1526
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: I do not believe McDermott's staff or the culture they

1527
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: have put in place. We'll let their guys look past

1528
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,799
Speaker 1: or discount the Texans. They know that it's a professional

1529
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 1: team over there, with pro coaches and a guy they

1530
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,719
Speaker 1: know well in Cully. They won't rest on their laurels.

1531
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: Bills will come to play. You look through some of

1532
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: the numbers, Rube, and you can get to a competitive situation.

1533
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're converting almost forty eight percent of their

1534
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: third downs on offense, the Texans, they are plus three

1535
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,200
Speaker 1: in the takeaway category. They've got five takeaways, only one

1536
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 1: lesson than the Bills. There's seven of nine in the

1537
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 1: red zone on offense for a seventy eight percent touchdown percentage,

1538
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks is tied with Cole Beasley for the

1539
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: AFC leading receptions. I'm gonna tell you the point. The

1540
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: one number that stands large for me, those takeaways, those

1541
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,920
Speaker 1: takeaways are huge. They're not what you coach. You don't

1542
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean, well, as an offense, you don't coach that

1543
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna give the bar the way you're coaching to

1544
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 1: get in the end zone, and takeaways are so demoralized

1545
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 1: in and beat you up. So those takeaways a significant

1546
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: factor and a reason why you should be worried about

1547
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,639
Speaker 1: the Texans. Yeah, I mean. And the other thing too

1548
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 1: is they've done a good job of coming out in

1549
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,720
Speaker 1: the first half and putting points on the board, So

1550
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,760
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna It depends what the game plan

1551
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,679
Speaker 1: is for Davis Mills. I envisioned them coming after him

1552
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 1: and much of the way they went after two in

1553
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 1: Week two. So we'll have to see what the approach

1554
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 1: is defensively, because I think that's going to greatly impact

1555
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: whether Houston kind of hangs around for a little bit

1556
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: or whether they just get completely blown off the field.

1557
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 1: I know that the Bills this is gonna be a

1558
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 1: competitive game. I think it's gonna be a must watch games.

1559
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an enjoyable game. But the key is

1560
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 1: gonna be they want to get pressure on this young quarterback.

1561
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: Can we do it with our front four, and it's

1562
01:28:56,200 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: a good possibility. Now the Texans have aside offensive line

1563
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: and some boild players over there, so it's not gonna

1564
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 1: be this free rain to the quarterback. But I think

1565
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: that's gonna be where the tailor to tape is. That's

1566
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:16,640
Speaker 1: where the win is in. Rude, thanks for your help today, man,
