1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Add a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: in the stratifere of normalcy. Here. It is Thursday. Here

5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: in one Bills Live Chris Brown Steve Tasker review as

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: we motor our way through the week, headlong into an

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: intriguing matchup on Sunday between the Cardinals and the Bills.

8
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Too exciting young quarterbacks, both of whom have accounted for

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: twenty six total touchdowns on the season. Fun just scoring themes.

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: I am really looking forward to Sunday in this game

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: between the Bills. From now, this is really cramp in

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: my style of the live stream of the Master's golf turn. Yeah, priorities, Steve, Okay,

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: priorities just for three hours. Everything I could do to

14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: click out of that window and not be distracted by it.

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: So I'll just tell you. Does it look as weird

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: as the NFL games have with no gallery there too? Yes?

17
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: And you know what else? The tributary of Raised Creek

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: is like a river. It's like usually just a little

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: trickle of water. Well it rained this morning, right, They

20
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: had a rain delay for like an hour and all

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff going on down. Yeah, there was a

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: rain delay this morning and Jack suspended play Jack and

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Gary Jack Nicholas and Gary player teet it off this

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: morning in a dense fog. But we're often running there,

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: so I'm I mean, just add this little glued to

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: that saturdays onto the list of sacrifices that I make

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: on behalf of you in the show. So here we get.

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: But I tell you this, I was watching a little

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: more Arizona still Weird the Masters in November two. I

30
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: was watching a little more Arizona tape today, Brownie. Yes,

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: And I really love the way this game is shaping

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: up on both sides. I mean, Arizona is a good

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: football to no, I don't want to take anything away

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: from him. And we're Bills people here, and I love

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: the way the Bills match up with them. And you know, you,

36
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: for me, you always get your mind around what that

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: other team's gonna be like, you know how their season's going.

38
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: And we do it quick, right, We got like a

39
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: week to put in all the work we put in

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: you and I put in here twelve months a year.

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: So they've played Detroit Washington, Carolina, the Jets, and the Cowboys. Well, yeah,

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: they have the NFC East and the AFC East as

43
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: their intra division in their conference and their interdivision. They

44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: beat the Deniners on opening day, they lost to Detroit

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: and Carolina in consecutive weeks. Yeah. I saw projections for

46
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals for the rest of the season, like the

47
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: advanced analytics, and they project them getting four more wins

48
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: this season to finish nine and seven. If that's the case. Um,

49
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: the exact number was four point two wins for the

50
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: rest because they have to play Seattle twice. I think

51
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: they have to play the Rams just once more. Once more. Oh,

52
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: that's right, they have to play the Rams twice. Maybe

53
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: that's it, the Rams twice. That's what it was. Rams twice,

54
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Seattle once, the Niners, and then they got the which

55
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: who knows what you're gonna get with that got the

56
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: Eagles Giants and they only and they only predict four

57
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: more wins. How about that? They got the Patriots, so

58
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: who are always tough to beat. Yeah, although they you know,

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: there's the games like they usually win them. This year,

60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the figure that caught my eye that I came across

61
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: was the one from next Gen Stats, which had the

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: advanced metric called pressure evaded rate, the ability for a

63
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: quarterback to avoid pressure in the pocket. Kyler Murray and

64
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen are far and away the two most effective

65
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. There your pressure evaded rate, Steve

66
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: for what it's worth. Here in twenty twenty, Josh Allen

67
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: twenty nine point two percent of the time effectively evades

68
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: pressure in the pocket. Kyler Murray right behind him twenty

69
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: eight point one percent. Okay, the next player, The next

70
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: best player at evading pressure in the pocket is seventeen

71
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: point nine percent. Who's at You want to take a

72
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: wild guess who you think it would be? Yes, take

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: a wild guess. Carson wentz It is not Carson Wentz Hea.

74
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: He's been hit a lot this year. Wait wait, wait,

75
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: evading pressure, evading pressure. But I mean Lamar is on

76
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: the list, but he is not. Next He is fifth

77
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: at fifteen point one percent of pressure evasion rate. It's

78
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: it's Josh Kyler and then it's gonna be Russ It

79
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: is not Russell Wilson is not even on the top five.

80
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: His number had to go down after last three. It's

81
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: sixteen times that was the highest number of times a

82
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: quarterback had been hitting on a game all season. Hasn't

83
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: played enough, He hasn't played Kyler Murray, uh Mahomes. Mahomes

84
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: is fourth. Oh okay, so here's the thing. But this

85
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: is the thing. Josh Allen pressure evaded rate twenty nine

86
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: point two percent. Mahomes is half that, fifteen point two percent,

87
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: and he's fourth. And he's fourth Lamar Jackson fifteen point

88
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: one percent. I mean, you're thinking, these guys, you'd expect

89
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: them to be right up there, and they're just not.

90
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: They're nowhere near Kyler and Josh Allen, says Watson. It

91
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: is not DeShawn Watson. I'm just here's my hint. It

92
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: is not somebody who you think it would be. Aaron Rodgers.

93
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: It is not Aaron Rodgers. Like think of the last

94
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: person you're closer. It's Tom Brady. It is not Tom Ray.

95
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: It's Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan is third in pressure evaded rate.

96
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: He would I would have. I'm glad you told a

97
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: while he would have been like number thirty eight or

98
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: thirty nine. I would have I'd have got Fitzpatrick. But

99
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't think we're surprised to see that this list

100
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: is dominated by young, mobile quarterbacks who can get away

101
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: from pressure. But I mean Alan and Murray far and

102
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: away leading this category by a significant large and four

103
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: to this game. I think these two guys because I

104
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: think more so and there's a lot of teams that

105
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: are like this, and maybe that's what I'm saying, more

106
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: so than any of the year I can remember, and

107
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: I think we like People are gonna say, like, no, duh,

108
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, it just there's a bunch of

109
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: guys out there. You take that quarterback off of that

110
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: team and that team stinks. Yeah, Murray. I can imagine

111
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: if if you take Kyler Murray out, and you take

112
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson out, you take Aaron Rodgers out, and Josh,

113
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: it's a dramatically different, dramatically different team. What team would

114
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: you like? The Jets? All of a sudden, what team

115
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: would you pick that you could say, this success on

116
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: offense is largely due to system and you could probably

117
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: plug somebody else in there that's capable and be okay,

118
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: which which team would you pick? Because I have a

119
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: team in mind, right nine ers. Oh you know who

120
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna pick. I was gonna pick the Rams. Yeah,

121
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: I think that's a system where you could drop a

122
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: quarterback in there that's capable, and then it would be

123
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: every bit as successful as Jared Guff. Yeah, yeah, nothing

124
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: against Jared Guff, nice quarterback. Yeah, I agree with that.

125
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: I think that's a Sean McVay system, and I think

126
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: it's like a Shanahan sh system. The run game supports

127
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback and yeah, yeah, maybe now you Nat I'm

128
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: talking myself out of these guys. As I come across

129
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: my mind, I was trying to think of some other systems.

130
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Andy Reid has been successful with a number

131
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, not nearly to the level of Patrick Mahomes,

132
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: but they wouldn't die. They wouldn't die as a team.

133
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: They'd be less successful, but I don't think they would

134
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: be completely out of the playoff picture. If you had

135
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: a capable quarterback playing in Andy, how many guys, how

136
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: many guys could you drop into Baltimore system. You'd need

137
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: a guy. Well, you could put Kyler Murray there, and

138
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: I think Sean Watson there, could put to Shawn Watson there. Yeah,

139
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. You could put maybe two

140
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: although great Roman is under fire now did you see that? Yeah? Yeah,

141
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: because Lamar kind of let the cat out of the bag.

142
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: That opposing defenses are calling out their plays and you know,

143
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: calling out alerts knowing just what is coming. I don't

144
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: know if they know the names of the plays, but

145
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: they know what's coming. Run here, run their pass alert alert,

146
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: you know the runs going this way. And think about

147
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: it though. And here's a And I get it. Players

148
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: are like that because I'm kind of a coaches guy

149
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: here on this and not a player's guy. Coaches will

150
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: get and stay creative and keep doing new things when

151
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: they believe their their team can execute them. Yeah. And

152
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything about Lamar or anything else. I'm

153
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: just saying that there are guys on that team probably

154
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: or maybe their offensive line or maybe their skill position

155
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: players because listen, John Harbaugh said it right up front.

156
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: He goes last year when they let John Brown go

157
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: and he came to Buffalo, it was because John Harball said, listen,

158
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: we need wide receivers who are big enough to stand

159
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: up and block in the run game. So now you're

160
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: going to try and start throwing it two guys like that,

161
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work. Do you know what that that

162
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: offense as it's currently constituted, is reminding me of with

163
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: the struggles that Lamar is having throwing the football, it's

164
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: reminded me of the Bill's offense with Tyrod. Oh my gosh, yeah,

165
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: it get it. Like I was watching I watched some

166
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: of Baltimore's game last week, and I'm like, man, this

167
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: kind of looks like the Buffalo offense with Tyrod because

168
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: running the hell out of the football. I mean, they're

169
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: still first in the league and rushing Steve yea um,

170
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: but their total offense, they're twenty third passing offense, their

171
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: thirty first scoring their eighth, which was better than what

172
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: the Bills were back then with Tyrod. But it kind

173
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: of looks like that. It feels like that. You remember

174
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: what it was like, daring three to throw the ball

175
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: when you've got Tyrod, and it's so frustrating to watch.

176
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: You can't get that. You can't just get that play.

177
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: You can't get that third and three. You know you can't.

178
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: He dropped like three or five, three to five of

179
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: those kinds of plays. Even if you run the ball

180
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: this well, they can't even get one or two right, right.

181
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: That's so frustrating Bills fans who remember the Tyrod days.

182
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: And that's why I think this this offense the way

183
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: it is, and like last week's hanging forty four points

184
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 1: on the on the Seahawks and and doing all this

185
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: stuff that they've done that. Yeah, and it's all but

186
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: for fans, I think for Bills fans, I mean, you know,

187
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: scoring twenty even then thirty one, then thirty five, then

188
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: thirty in the first four weeks of the season, it

189
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: is a big drink of water for a lot of

190
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: fans who would kind of start for that kind of

191
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: offense for a long time. Even last year when they

192
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, they were pretty good and pretty fun to watch,

193
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't a score fest like it is this year.

194
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: To give you an idea on what's on TAFT for

195
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: today's show, coming up a little bit less than an hour,

196
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: we've got Norah Princiotti from The Ringer had a nice

197
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: right up on Josh ALLENLL a little while back, but

198
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: also had an interesting outlook for the second half of

199
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: the season. Also also had a fun rite up about

200
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: the poor punters in this league who are getting phased

201
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: out of job duty on Sundays with all the scoring

202
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: and all the teams going for it now on fourth

203
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: down more than ever before. So we want to pick

204
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: her brain about that too. Good writer for the Ringer,

205
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: so we'll talk to her in about an hour's time.

206
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: It used to be way back in the old days

207
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: when I was playing, and before it was the old days.

208
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: We referred to them as when I was playing back

209
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: in the old days. So it's like two or three

210
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: generations ago. Yeah, back in the sixties and even in

211
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: the seventies, you would have regular down and distance players

212
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: doing stuff like long snapping and punting. Even Paul McGuire

213
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: was a linebacker and he punted. Are you going to

214
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: do that in the NFL today? In today's NFL, I'm

215
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna starting listening. We punt like twice a game. We

216
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: got a guy that can punt it forty year talking

217
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: thirty two plays a game. If you have a really

218
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: good offense and you're only punting thirty two times a season,

219
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: and you can get a better and you can get

220
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: a player who could go in and play on whatever

221
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: whoever it is, has a dime package, or he's a

222
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: receiver and he goes in on five on four wide

223
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: receiver packages, or he's a kick returner and he punts

224
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: two or you name it, or even if he's a

225
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, you know, let him punt it. If he's

226
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: got a big leg, Cookie Gilchris used to kick off.

227
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: It ain't rocket science now. And you we've got guys

228
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: who in the league. Listen, and I know this that

229
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: the punters in today's NFL are far and away better

230
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: than they were in the seventies, eighties, even the nineties.

231
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: They have become their The league is much deeper in

232
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: quality punters. They're able to kick balls more versatily, you know,

233
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: with the Aussie kick, with the out of bounds kick,

234
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: with the hang time punts, and the net average. It

235
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: used to be the holy grail that nobody had ever

236
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: had a forty yard net punt average for the season.

237
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: And now that's the benchmark. That's everybody does it. So

238
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: that's how good these guys have gotten. But all of

239
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're hitting maximum three punts a game three.

240
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean I used to I used to have to

241
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: hydrate we were punting so much and I was in

242
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: no huddle. Yeah, I mean the things are changing, broce

243
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: Leeve most Yes, you don't have to tell me. But

244
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: Nora actually quoted Corey Behorkez in the article, so it'll

245
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: be fun to talk to her in about an hour's time,

246
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: just about what she thought of talking to Bojoe, because

247
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: he's talking about trying to stay ready, realizing he only

248
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: now he holds on field goals and you know he's

249
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: involved in other ways. But afterthought, right, but as far

250
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: as his main job duty, it's coming up like once

251
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: or twice a game. You know, it's like it's it's

252
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a rough go yeah, and it's not.

253
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean Brian Morman when he was here, and this

254
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: was for far different reasons, but he used to punch

255
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: sometimes eighty times a season. Eighty puns look like more

256
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: than double what Behorkez is probably looking at this year.

257
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: More than he's double, easily easily double. So so that'll

258
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: be an interesting conversation. We look forward to that in

259
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: about an hour's time with Nora Princiotti from The Ringer.

260
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: And then at two o'clock we have Josh Weinfuss, who

261
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: is the Cardinals beat reporter for ESPN dot com out

262
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: there in Glendale, so we'll get another update on the Cardinals.

263
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: It looks like there's at least a chance Steve that

264
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, the former Bills defensive tackle, will not play

265
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: in Sunday's game. He's dealing with a hamstring injury. Did

266
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: not practice yesterday. We'll see what the story is today.

267
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: And those guys are practicing earlier in the day out

268
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: there to try to get used to East Coast time

269
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: or no, no, they don't have to do that. The

270
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: game's out there. They practice rather early yesterday, though I thought,

271
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: all things considered, I was surprised to see that Arizona's facility,

272
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: if they haven't changed, it is outdoors only. Yeah, so

273
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: they don't want to get into the eat of the

274
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: day and it'll still get into the high eighties. All right, Well,

275
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: that explains it. I think, thank you for confirming that. See,

276
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: that's why we're a tag team here. That helps. Thank

277
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: you for doing They used to think about doing that,

278
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: and I I don't know Cliff Kingsbury does his own

279
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: thing right because I never wasn't in the booth, never

280
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: covered in white since he's been coached. But that seems

281
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: to make sense. Yeah, So we'll talk to Josh in

282
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: just under two hours time to see what's going on

283
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. They also had a bunch of roster moves.

284
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: They called some guys up off of injured reserve, so

285
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: that was good for them. They also signed veteran cornerback

286
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph because they've been a little bit shorthanded at

287
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: the corner position, and you have to believe they're somewhat

288
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: interested in making sure they have enough bodies to cover

289
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: the four wide looks that the Bills are gonna be

290
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: thrown out there on the field on Sunday, so they

291
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: added him. They also got Byron Murphy back who missed

292
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: last week's game. He's another corner. So they're trying to

293
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: stock the cupboard with covermen this week, and understandably so,

294
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: knowing the four wide looks that the Bills are going

295
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: to be throwing at them this week, they really have

296
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: not seen that, although they themselves do it a ton

297
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: on their own offense. I'm curious to see or to

298
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: learn what kind of looks the scout team offenses are

299
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: going to be showing their respective defenses this week. Knowing

300
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: you've got two offenses that use a ton of ten

301
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: personnel more than any other teams in the league, I mean,

302
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: they are far and away one and two ranked in

303
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: ten personnel personnel groupings through the course of this season.

304
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 1: How are they preparing their cornerback contingents to handle all

305
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: those passing options? Yeah, and you asked, I mean, you

306
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: asked Sean that yesterday. What do you got to do?

307
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: And we're getting you know, there's articles being written around

308
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: the country and around the Arizona Cardinals a great deal

309
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: nowadays about what teams are doing to prepare for Kyler Murray.

310
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: And a lot of teams are using different players, you know,

311
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: in different plays, different scenarios. So they'll get a skill

312
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: guy out there, like a like an Isaiah McKenzie out

313
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: there to take a snap on a play and then

314
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: take off running design or they'll get or they'll get

315
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback out there to drop back and throw it

316
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and they'll be and they'll have

317
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: a Kyler Murray jersey on for practice, and they've got

318
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: different skill sets guys who will cross purpose and try

319
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: and give the defense a look. And it's hard. Well,

320
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: I'll say this, even if you want to have a

321
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: spy on Murray at times, you know, based on down

322
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: or distance or whatever your game plan demands, it sure

323
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: has hell better not be a linebacker. That guy is not.

324
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a chance against Kyler Murray. Your spy

325
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: this week has to be an extra safety. You know

326
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: you're talking somebody like Seran Neil, somebody like Dean Marlowe.

327
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: You have a good corner, could be Cam Lewis. You

328
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: know it's gotta go. You gotta dip into the creativity

329
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: bag this week to have an answer for this guy

330
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: when he takes off and runs. And if you're gonna spy,

331
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: there is no way it can be a second level defender,

332
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: a traditional second level defender. There's just no way a

333
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: linebacker is keeping up with this guy or getting an

334
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: angle on him to prevent him from getting first down yardage.

335
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: The MSG viewers are watching this the first two plays

336
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: from Arizona last Sunday against the Dolphins. Murray takes off

337
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: on a scramble, gets a first almost gets a first

338
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: down on his first play of the game, scrambling out

339
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: on a passing play. Then he comes out and runs

340
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback option and scrambles four a first down, like

341
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: for fourteen yards. First two plays out of the box,

342
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray carrying the ball and just takes off and

343
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: one's a designed run one is not and it is

344
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: right out of the gate in that game against the Dolphins,

345
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: and it's kind of set the tone for their offense.

346
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: So I was. I was because i'd been We've been

347
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: watching these highlights all week and I didn't know exactly

348
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: when they occurred in the in the Dolphins game. When

349
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: he went back and looked the first two plays of

350
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: the game, Yeah, they didn't have to go far. Yeah,

351
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: right now, they did not have to go far. Eight

352
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one eight eight five fifty two,

353
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: five fifty to join us on the show today, as

354
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: there are several storylines around this game or dealing with

355
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: this game, you know, whether it's the quarterbacks and their

356
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: mobility and the way they've led their offenses and how

357
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: they've largely been the MVPs of their respective attacks. But

358
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: there's more than that, and so our Twitter poll today,

359
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: what are you keeping your eye on when the Bills

360
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: face the Cardinals Sunday? A to see if the defense

361
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: can control another mobile quarterback in Kyler Murray, b to

362
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: see if the secondary can limit Fitzgerald, Hopkins, Kirk and

363
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: Isabella or see to see if the Bills offense can

364
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: continue its current momentum and right now containing Kyler Murray

365
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: is the chief concern among Bills fans. Not by much.

366
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: We could have another Georgia type pole situation here, Steve,

367
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: because you know yesterday's poll, Wow, I mean down to

368
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: the tenth of a percent. It was like watching the

369
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: Georgia ballot count. Yeah, and we'll be in store for

370
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: that again today because right now it's almost a dead

371
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: heat between seeing if the defense can control another mobile

372
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: quarterback in Kyler Murray much the way they did last

373
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: week against Russell Wilson, and then right behind that is

374
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: see to see if the Bills offense can continue its

375
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: current pace and momentum, and boy, you would like to

376
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: see that again. I know a lot of Bills fans

377
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: just in talking to the people that I come across

378
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: walking around town or going to the grocery store or whatever,

379
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: they were a little miffed when all of that pass

380
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: game success of the first four weeks just dropped off

381
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: a cliff in weeks five, six, and even seven. And

382
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: then they go to the ground game in week eight,

383
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: and then they get surprisingly man coverage from the Seahawks

384
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: a good deal of the time in week nine. Last Sunday,

385
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: and they're back to throwing it all over the yard.

386
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: So I get why fans kind of have their fingers

387
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: crossed hoping this offense can continue it's momentum. I don't

388
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance. I mean, I just don't

389
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: see these cardinal corners maybe outside of Patrick Peterson matching

390
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: up all that well with with this receiving corps that

391
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: the Bills can throw out, I don't think they go

392
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: that deep. Certainly, Joseph has some experience and it won't

393
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: be too big for him, But I don't know if

394
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: he'll have enough in the tank. Even if they were

395
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: to put their new corner that they just signed Joseph on,

396
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: say Gabriel Davis the rookie. I think Gabe Davis wins

397
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: that matchup. Certainly, Cole Beasley's a handful for those guys.

398
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: He's a guy's got experience and they're gonna have to

399
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: match up. Now, maybe Isaiah Simmons can. They may feel

400
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: like Simmons has got the athleticism to stay with some guys.

401
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: I'd still like to see Dawson Knox come back and

402
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: play a little better in the passing game and see

403
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: if they can come up with some matchups for him.

404
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: And then of course you got the top two guys,

405
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: and John Brown and Steph Steph Diggs in and of

406
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: himself is going to command attention, he said, leads the

407
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: league in the two things you want a receiver to

408
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: lead the league in catches and yards. I mean, yeah,

409
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: that their defense is looking at that like going, hey,

410
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: that's the guy. Well, okay, And John Brown's coming in

411
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: and I hope and all things. Meaning he gave John

412
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: Frown's healthy one percent with his knee, and he comes

413
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: back and he starts practicing, he looks better and looks

414
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: back to normal. How badly do you think John Brown

415
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: wants to come in and have a really good day

416
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: against the Arizona Cardinals, the team that drafted him. Yeah,

417
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: even Andre Roberts, they drafted him too, two former third

418
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: round picks and Andre Roberts in twenty ten and John

419
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Brown in twenty fourteen. And we've I said it earlier

420
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: in the show this week. How we've seen it before,

421
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams getting a touchdown against Miami and is what

422
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: it was thought to be maybe his last game as

423
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill Cole Beasley on Thanksgiving last year, going

424
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: back to Dallas where he played for so many years,

425
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: and getting a big catch and a touchdown in the

426
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: big win against Dallas. So all of that plays like

427
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: that where the coaching staff kind of puts that guy

428
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: at the forefront, whoever it is that gives Jandre robertson

429
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: John Brown, who got a chance for the coaches to

430
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: like make heroes out of now. The interesting thing with

431
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: respect to injuries, obviously, will get an update from the

432
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: practice field here in a little while, probably about twenty

433
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: minutes time, as to the status of John Brown, who

434
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: did not practice yesterday due to that knee injury, and

435
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: there's a couple other players nicked up as well. The

436
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: good news is Mitch Morris was back and out of

437
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol and Josh Norman was limited as he

438
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: tries to come back from that hamstring injury. How he

439
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: feels today and how much he participates today could go

440
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: a long way in determining whether or not he is

441
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: even available on Sunday, and if he is, that would

442
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: certainly be a help knowing how often Arizona goes for

443
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: wide so that'll be something that we'll be trying to

444
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: keep an eye on here as practice is already underway

445
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: on the g AS practice field about fifty yards away

446
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: from us here from our Seneca studios in Orchard Park.

447
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: I will say this though, as far as the Arizona

448
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: Cardinals are concerned, Buddha Baker, who is not only a

449
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: safety but their nickel corner, is a little nicked up

450
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: this week as well, and he did not practice yesterday

451
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: due to a groin injury. Now you think you talk

452
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: about the nickelback position, Steve, the nickel corner position every

453
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: play you're defending a two way go. I mean we

454
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: want to talk about taxing a groin injury. Yeah, that's

455
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: the fastest way to do it, is it not? Yeah,

456
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: it's yeah. Your legs, Yeah, your legs are your life's

457
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: blood if you're gonna play. And that's all for all

458
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: football teams that you know. You get a foot injury

459
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: and ankle injury and knee injury, yeah, you're it's a

460
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: crusher and you can't If you can't run, you can't play.

461
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: And if you can't run as hard as you can,

462
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: you'd better be incredibly fast to go half speed and

463
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: think you can keep up. Their others starting safety Deonte

464
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: Thompson also did not practice yesterday, he's dealing with a

465
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: knee injury. So you've got your nickel corner, your starting safety,

466
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: both dealing with injuries unable to practice on Wednesday. We'll

467
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: obviously see if that changes today. And their other corner,

468
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: Dray Kirkpatrick, is still dealing with a thigh injury. He

469
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: was limited in practice, so all indications are if he

470
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: continues on that path, he should be fine for Sunday,

471
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: but likely won't be one hundred percent. So I think

472
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: you look at the injury situations they're dealing with on defense,

473
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: it may be even more dire at safety than it

474
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: is at corner, even knowing that Buddha Baker kind of

475
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: is their nickel corner for all intents and purposes, so

476
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: you kind of understand why they brought Jonathan Joseph into

477
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: the fold. Just yesterday, Byron Murphy gets activated off the

478
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: COVID list, so he's and ready to go at corner,

479
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: and they get Devin Kinnard back the starting linebacker from

480
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: the COVID list. He did not play last week either,

481
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: so there are some injury concerns here for the Arizona defense.

482
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: And as I said, Jordan Phillips with a hamstring injury.

483
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: He may not be able to play either. He didn't

484
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: practice yesterday, But what goes I mean, it's the same.

485
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: For the Bills have thirteen guys on their listed on

486
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: their injury report. The guys who did not practice yesterday,

487
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: John Brown, Cody Ford, Jerry Hughes, Taiwan Jones, del Shan Phillips,

488
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: Tredevious White, and Brian Winters. Un keep an eye on

489
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: that one, right, So that's been pretty significant. Uh guys.

490
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: Now the other guy, now the limited guys was Josh

491
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: Norman was limited. Jake from obviously is always limited. John

492
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: Feliciano was limited with a back to back. Now, there

493
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: are some guys listed on the on the practice on

494
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: the injury report, they practiced full but are still listed,

495
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: and that's t J. Yell. Then Mitch Morrise as we

496
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: talked about out of the concussion protocol and Josh Allen

497
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: who's elifted with his left shoulder. All those guys there

498
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: for there's different gradients as we all know, you know,

499
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: full practice, limited practice, did not practice, and so the

500
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Bills have their own list. The thing the guys that

501
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: concern you that are starters like John Brown, John Feliciano,

502
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes. Jerry Hughes was a rest day, a veteran

503
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: rest day. He does have a little bit of a

504
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: foot thing he's dealing with. And then of course Brian

505
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: Winters down at the bottom and Tradevious White. So there's

506
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: like a bunch of guys who you kind of depend

507
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: on that aren't one hundred percent for the Buffalo Bills either,

508
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: Tredevious White being a real huge one. And so's John

509
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Feliciano about it. Mitch Morse gets back in the lineup. Now,

510
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: Feliciano's limited in practice. Yeah, that offensive lines has yet

511
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: to have the five guys they would like to have

512
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: out there. And you know Cody Ford, who's a question mark,

513
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: and now Feliciano, who's a little nick Do you wonder

514
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: like it's probably not gonna happen this week, right, but

515
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a mix and match deal again. But

516
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: I did think that the line had been gaining traction,

517
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: especially as a run blocking unit, in the wake of

518
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: the performance against New England. Um, I know they barely

519
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: ran the ball against Seattle, but I thought in the

520
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: few times that they did, they did all right. They

521
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: weren't great Um, you know, you look at this Arizona

522
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: run defense, I mean, twenty second in the league. I

523
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: mean they're not They're not a juggernaut, and if they

524
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: don't have Jordan Phillips, they might be even less of one. Um.

525
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: They did activate Richard Lawrence, another defensive tackle of Theirs,

526
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: off of IR. He had been dealing with an injury.

527
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: He's off of IR and is expect I would expect

528
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna play a lot if Jordan Phillips cannot. But

529
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: that is a drop off from Jordan Phillips. So yeah,

530
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: it's a it's gonna be a battle of attrition just

531
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: going into the game, right and it's and it could

532
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: be that a lot of how this game goes, not

533
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: only with you know, the level of play on the field,

534
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: but also the tactics and the play calls and the

535
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: and the philosophies that the coaches feel comfortable using, has

536
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: a lot to do with who they can actually count

537
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: on to get it done at that it gets that deep.

538
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: And at this point of the season, you're in Week

539
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: ten now and you've got a lot of guys carrying

540
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: around a lot of luggage that's you know, pain and

541
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: discomfort of injury, so we'll see and yeah, their list

542
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: is extensive as well. All right, we have to take

543
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: a break, but when we come back, we'll take our

544
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: first look at the tweet sheet. What are you keeping

545
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: your eye on when the Bills face the Cardinals Sunday.

546
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: We'll also get an update from the practice field, and

547
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention, in about an hour's time, we'll

548
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: play that new game that everyone loves. Dolphin Jets fan

549
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: or Pats fan? Can you guess who the tweet belongs to?

550
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: With the Dion Dawkins fanbox the prize to win if

551
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: you guess correctly. That's coming up in about an hour's time.

552
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker Chris Brown here on One Bills Live Back

553
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: with More in a moment. It's brought to you by

554
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Back with You.

555
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: We charge into the second half of our number one

556
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: of a Thursday edition of One Bills Live broadcasting from

557
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studios. Here an Orchard Park practice going on

558
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: on the grass field about fifty yards from us, and

559
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: early indications are good with respect to Tredavious White and

560
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: John Brown. We're told both of those players are participating

561
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: in practice in the early stages of it, as is

562
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: Brian Winters, Jerry Hughes back practicing after getting a veteran

563
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: rest day yesterday, so we will continue to try to

564
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: update you as best we can on that. Mario Addison, however,

565
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: not practicing today. Now he would use Willie in the

566
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: past few weeks get one day off either Wednesday or

567
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: Thursday as a veteran rest day. So I'm hopeful that

568
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: that is in fact the case here with Mario Addison

569
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: looking like a non participant today, hopefully it is just

570
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: rest and not a designated injury. So we'll continue to

571
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: update you on that as practice continues to unfold. Out

572
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: of the stretch portion, the media viewing portion going on now,

573
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: John Feliciano and Cody Forde seemed to be out there.

574
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: Don't know if they're full or limited, but yeah, we

575
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: won't know that until or anything the Thursday injury, but

576
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: they're on the field anyway. Yeah, so good news there,

577
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to bring more of the updates to

578
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: you as we get those. We do want to get

579
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet though, as you know, always brought

580
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

581
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills, and we begin the tweet

582
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: sheet responses to what are you keeping your eye on

583
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: When the Bills face the Cardinals Sunday, Jeremy says, I

584
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: would love to see this high flying offense show up again.

585
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: I hope the NFC West continues to allow the Bills

586
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: to walk all over them on the field, continue to

587
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: stack wins, will make the difference at the end. You know, Steve,

588
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: He's right. You think about the two highest scoring games

589
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: for the season for the Bills is the Rams game

590
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: in the Seattle game thirty five and forty four points.

591
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: Man alive. Yeah, could get another one. This may be

592
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: the same more of the same too. That which is

593
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: interesting that the NFC West a tough division and the

594
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: Bills are two and oh in it right now. That's

595
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good place to be with the Niners

596
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: and this game the Arizona Cardinals coming up. That's that's

597
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: a big step. And um and I'll tell you this too.

598
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: Think about this, Brownie, say, for instance, season goes on,

599
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: Bills go on go like gangbusters to get deep into

600
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: and they get into the playoffs with a chance to

601
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: play another NFC team in the super Bowl, or they

602
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: start getting down to that championship level, division round championship

603
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: level of the NSAFC playoffs, and team people start looking

604
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: ahead to what are the matchups for these teams? If

605
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: they do get to the super Bowl, the Bills are

606
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: going to be standing there having thumped the a of

607
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: NFC West. Yeah, that's big. I'm gonna say this. The

608
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: NFC West makes no sense to me. And here's why, Seattle.

609
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: Some of their defensive rankings are what you thought they

610
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: would be. Okay, we knew they were last in the

611
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: league coming into last week's game. They still are after

612
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: getting four and fifteen yards hung on them just through

613
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: the air alone. And they're last in the league in

614
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: pass defense thirty points aloud. None of those numbers surprise you. Right,

615
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: you go to the Rams, who the Bills hung thirty

616
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: five on. Do you know they're the number two defense

617
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: in football? They're fifth against the run, second in the

618
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: league against the pass, and they are second in points allowed.

619
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: That is shocking to me. Second in points alloud. Yeah, Well,

620
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: think about it. Last week their offense coughed it up

621
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: four times against or two weeks ago they coughed it

622
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: up four times against the Miami Dolphins and gave up

623
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: a pick six or whatever and that. So that kind

624
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: of stuff skews it in your favor. But I don't

625
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've heard about that happening every week.

626
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: That's that's surprising to me. I was surprised to see that.

627
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: And then Arizona, you know, twenty second against the run,

628
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: not all that impressive, nineteenth against the past, Okay, you're decent,

629
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: but they get off the field on third down seventh

630
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: best in the league. Seventh third down defense for Arizona,

631
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: and they are eighth and points allout despite having the

632
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: shootout with Seattle. You know, in a couple of other

633
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: high scoring games like last week against the Dolphins, they

634
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: must be coughing up a lot of big plays. I guess. Well.

635
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: The Dolphins did have a fumble return for a touchdown

636
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: last week. That was one of their shack loss. Yeah

637
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: shack so of the fourteenth right now, And we were

638
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: talking about this too a little bit yesterday, browning the

639
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: fourteen teams that are in the playoffs right now, but

640
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: the Bills being one of them because they're leading the ACA.

641
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: They've played five of them. Yes, they're three and two

642
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: against those teams. Are talking about Arizona or Buffalo. Talking

643
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: about Buffalo. Yeah, they beat Seattle and they beat the Rams.

644
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: That's the NFC side of the teams they've played. They

645
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: beat Miami and then they've lost to Tennessee in Kansas City.

646
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: But they're gonna play Pittsburgh yep. And they're gonna play

647
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: Arizona this week. So they're gonna be will have played

648
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: quite a few playoff teams on the way. If the

649
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: tournament were into, you know, starting today. Yes, some of

650
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: these teams may be in, some of them may be out,

651
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: but they're playing pretty well against them. And I'll tell you,

652
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: and I keep going back to that Tennessee game where

653
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: it was. It was at forty two sixteen or something.

654
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: At the end of it, I'm telling you, the Bills

655
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: are playing pretty good against good teams. They're playing pretty

656
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: good against good teams, and that's that's pretty comforting to me.

657
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: The two teams they lost to, one's the Chiefs, the

658
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: defending champions, and the Tennessee Titans. The rest of these

659
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: teams that when they match up, they've beaten them, so

660
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: don't They've got to keep that going. But right now,

661
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: it's easy to see why the Bills are kind of

662
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: climbing up the power rankings around all these pundits and

663
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: all these they always ranked the teams from one to

664
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: thirty two. Who the best is and who's tough to play.

665
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: The Bills are high in all of them. And that's

666
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: part of the reason why is because they they're playing

667
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 1: some pretty good teams and looking pretty good against them.

668
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: More good news from the Bills practice field. Cody Ford

669
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: and John Feliciano are participating in practice again. We won't

670
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: know what level of participation they will have until the

671
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: Thursday injury report comes out providing that information. And del

672
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: Shan Phillips is back practicing. He's been battling with that

673
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: quad injury since week one. Yeah. I think that was

674
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: a bad injury. I had to be like a pulled

675
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: quatters worse. I think it was a contusion. Oh yeah, love,

676
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: I think it was a contusion and like a hematoma.

677
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: I ever see one of them, I had, I had one.

678
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: Those things are no joke, man, you I mean it's crippling,

679
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: and it's because it you know, it's not a pull,

680
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: it's it's damage. It's not even something that the muscle

681
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: pull itself. You know what I mean. It's it's like

682
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: a damnage. Oh my gosh, that hurts so bad. Yeah,

683
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: it takes a long time to come back from that.

684
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: Elsewhere on the tweet sheet, here Tiffany says for me

685
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: in terms of what she's keeping her eye on when

686
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: the Bills face the Cardinals Sunday, For me, it's about

687
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: offensive momentum. Josh will have to have a similar performance

688
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: from last week's brilliant effort. In my opinion, he'll have

689
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: opportunities to exploit the Cardinals defense with his elite running

690
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: ability to a ran. With success last week, I believe

691
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: Josh can outperform Tah's numbers on Sunday. Now, I still

692
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,959
Speaker 1: don't think Tooa got over two hundred yards passing last week.

693
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: He did take off and run against Arizona, and that

694
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: will be a concern. You know what I think though,

695
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals have a pretty good option

696
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: as a spy to spy Josh Allen. His name Isaiah Simmons,

697
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: who is the same size as Josh Allen and runs

698
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: just as fast. It's a little faster. It's a little

699
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: bit Tremaine Edmonds, like maybe even faster. He runs a

700
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: four three nine, right, so they could think about doing

701
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: thirty seven. But I also think too with Arizona, they

702
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: got the twenty second ranked run defense in the league.

703
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: Two so all of a sudden, you're thinking, you know,

704
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: not only can we maybe you know, go out there

705
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: and throw it. Zach Mowson Devin Singletary may be a

706
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: bigger factor this week than they were a week ago.

707
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: Probably not to the extent they were against the Patriots,

708
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 1: but a little more balance may go a long way

709
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: towards keeping the offense on the field and you know,

710
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: methodically scoring points if if you can, you know, get

711
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: down on the red zone and get it done. But um,

712
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: so we'll see that a week in. You gotta think

713
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: that's that is what it is. Their run defense is

714
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: what it is. And if if their run defense is

715
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: ranked so poorly, uh, you know, well there's a reason

716
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: for it, right, It's not it's not an aberration. Um,

717
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: it's a trend. That's why we may see. Certainly the

718
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: Bills may come out and say, you know, yeah we're

719
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna throw it forty two times and run

720
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: at ten times. But they might say, you know what,

721
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: this is the same as it was against Seattle. We're

722
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: gonna air it out, let's go. So I don't know,

723
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: but I do think that that's something that bears exploration,

724
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: is how the quality of the Cardinals run defense, particularly

725
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: without Jordan Phillips. Yeah, if he's not gonna Jordan Arth,

726
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: sorry Jordan. Josh Norman also practicing for a second straight day.

727
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: He was limited yesterday and Steve. This is the first

728
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: time and over a month that Tradevious White, Josh Norman,

729
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: and Levi Wallace are all practicing in the same week.

730
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: The Raiders game was the last time they had all

731
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: three of them, and then Levi got hurt with an

732
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: ankle injury. That's good news. Going against this team, that

733
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: is good news because, as I said, no team plays

734
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: four wide more than Arizona, not even the Bills. The

735
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: Bills are right behind them, but Arizona the most in

736
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: the league one hundred and fifteen snaps in ten personnel

737
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: this season. The Bills are at one hundred and nine.

738
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: So it's a good week to have healthy corners for sure.

739
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: Take the over all, right, we have to take a break,

740
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: Gary on a Cell and others. Holding at eight oh three,

741
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: oh five, fifty. We do have an open line for you.

742
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 1: Stay right there. We'll get to you when we return

743
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Line, presented by Kalid to Health.

744
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio One Bills Live Thursday Edition. Chris

745
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: Brown Steve Tasker with you. We do want to go

746
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: to the phones at eight oh three five fifty one

747
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty as we're

748
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: asking you what you're keeping your eye on when this

749
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: game comes your way on Sunday between the Cardinals and

750
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: the Bills and leading us off today is Gary on

751
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: a sale? Gary, what do you have for us? You're

752
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. Hey guys, how y'all doing doing good? Good? Gary?

753
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this game. It's gonna have the

754
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: same type of defense on defense side here that they

755
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: played against Seattle. Similar quarterbacks. They need to create turnovers

756
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: and try to stem on the ground. They put a spy.

757
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 1: I feel like they did Russell. That's only I didn't

758
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: have to do create turnovers. Yeah, I'm just kind of

759
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 1: wondering how you approach this guy. Do you leave him

760
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: in the pocket and say, hey, beat us with your arm.

761
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he can't do that because he does

762
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 1: have a live arm. But I'm wondering, you know, knowing

763
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 1: the way that Payer and Hide can kind of spin

764
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: the dial on what their coverage is, you know, as

765
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: late in the down as you can possibly imagine, you know,

766
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: where they spend the dial on young quarterbacks and cross

767
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: them up as to what they're looking at. If you

768
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: can just squeeze the pocket down and not let him escape,

769
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 1: because he likes to take off and run. It seems

770
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: like if his first read isn't there, he's already looking

771
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: to get out of there, right, Steve, I mean, yeah,

772
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: he does. He has no problem running the football, but

773
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: he does go to do a nice job of evading

774
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: pressure and keep keeping his eyes down the field. So

775
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: he sometimes runs to run, but other times he'll run

776
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: trying to extend the play and finding it. Finding it

777
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: down field now, big question. I think DeAndre I got

778
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot of love in respect for DeAndre Hopkins. I

779
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: think he's a phenomenal UH wide receiver, still still at

780
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 1: the top of his game. Larry Fitzgerald is as wildly

781
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: as they come. He's a tremendous player, and you know, yeah,

782
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: and what quarterback wouldn't trust Larry Fitzgerald and of course

783
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: they've got Kirk as well. Are they better on the

784
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: outside than the guys we saw last week with DK

785
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: Metcalf and Tyler Lockett the top two slots, I'd think

786
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: probably Seattle might you might give the nod to them

787
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: from one too, but going depthwise right depthwise, I don't know.

788
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: So it allows the Bills to think about maybe playing

789
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: Arizona a little bit more aggressively in some areas than

790
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: they did the Seahawks, especially if you have White, Norman,

791
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: and Wallace all up this week, which it seems to

792
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: be trending that way. We know that Josh Norman was

793
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: limited in practice yesterday, but he's out there again today,

794
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: which in my mind is a good sign. You know,

795
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: first time really testing it in practice, coming off of

796
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: this hamstring injury. A second time limited, you wake up,

797
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: you get out of bed today, it's not killing you.

798
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: You can practice again today. I think that's a positive sign. Right,

799
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 1: There's a lot in there's a lot in this and

800
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: certainly the the spoon that is the injury thing that

801
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: stirs the pot. Mitch Morris is going to be back.

802
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: It looks like another day in full practice. Mitch Morse

803
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: will be back in the lineup. John Feliciano's back on

804
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: the field at least in some capacity as his Cody

805
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: Ford off the Bill's offensive line maybe for the first

806
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: time here in week ten back to full strength, and

807
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see does that change Brian day

808
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: Ball's thoughts about what kind of game he can call

809
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: and who the starting five might be quite frankly, because

810
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: now you've got the top three guards that you've mixed

811
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: and matched in the starting positions all season long, Cody Ford,

812
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 1: Brian Winter is John Feliciano at least right now, look

813
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: as though all three will be in the mix to

814
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: be available on Sunday. So now who do you start

815
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: and where you know? Is Feliciano going to stay in

816
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: the lineup? I would say yes, I would say he's

817
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: probably the strongest likelihood to remain in the starting lineup.

818
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: Then you're down to Ford in Winters, and that could

819
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: determine which side Feliciano is on, because Ford has predominantly,

820
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: at least since Week two, man the left yard position

821
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: and Winners has manned the right guard position and they

822
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: have not switched since then. So you know, Feliciano was

823
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: on the field. So then it becomes a question of

824
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: who do you feel has been stronger in their respective

825
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: position Winters at right guard or Forward at left guard

826
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: through the course of the season, and that will probably,

827
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: you know, the coaches will probably just you know, put

828
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: the starter in in terms of who's been playing. And

829
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I thought Winters had a strong game

830
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, yeah, I think so two plus you know,

831
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: they there was all hands on deck last week, So

832
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna probably keep all your offensive linemen up again

833
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: this week, particularly since Taiwan Jones is down, and you

834
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: can probably activate Kumero again at wide out with two

835
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: running games for special teams, and then the running backs

836
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: will be Singletary and Moss the tight ends. Good question

837
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: there as to whether it'll be Croft and Knox and

838
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: Gilliam Croft, Knox and Gillmor or combination thereof. So um,

839
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: if they if they want to keep all their offensive

840
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: linemen up, they you know, they's gonna cost him a

841
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: place something. Although the eighth guys, they only have two

842
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: backs up, so you're okay, right, but I think you

843
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: might want to go in with three backups for sure,

844
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: being the and the forty eighth guy on the roster

845
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: will be this because you know Winners is nicked a

846
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: little bit, Ford is nicked a little bit. So so

847
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: even if they do start, horses coming off concussion, So

848
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: you know that even if they do start or a

849
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: capable of starting, do they get to the end of

850
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: the game. And because of that, yeah, I would say

851
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: you keep eight linemen up, right, Um, so you can

852
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: dress an extra guy to boot. Well, if if they

853
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: keep eight up, that means Butker or Bate's gonna have

854
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: to sit down, um right, right, So if one of

855
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: those guys is not one hundred percent or ninety percent ready,

856
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: they may wait another week on one of those to

857
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: have a healthier guy that you know is good to

858
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: go right from a backup capacity, you don't want too

859
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: many question marks rolling out there saying we think you

860
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: can get through the game. Then again, you know, if

861
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna keep the if you're gonna

862
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: keep nine guys up, you go thin someplace. So you

863
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: want to you want to push it to the extreme.

864
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: But if you've got Deliciano, Ford and Winters up, it

865
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter who because the next backup can go

866
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: at either spot. And you can move around those three guys.

867
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 1: So you got a swing guy there at both guards

868
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,839
Speaker 1: and you may not need to address nine, right So

869
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: all right, So we have to take a break here

870
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: because when we return, we will be talking with Norah.

871
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: Princeatti from The Ringer had a good right up on

872
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen a little while back. Also had an interesting

873
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: take on things to expect in the second half of

874
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: the season and what the heck's happened to the punter

875
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: job security. They're barely doing anything on Sundays with the

876
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: way these offenses are rolling around the league, including here

877
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. What to do if you're a punter in

878
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: the league right now. We'll cover all of that with

879
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,120

Speaker 1: home loss to the Ravens, the Colts, at five and three,

902
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:30,000

912
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen not too long ago. Also had I don't know,

913
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: gave me a chuckle reading about the fate of punters

914
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: going forward here in this unprecedented offensive scoring season in

915
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. Nora Princeatti joining us here on One Bill's

916

Speaker 1: Live in our number two. Nora, thanks for joining us.

917
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: How you doing. I'm doing pretty well. Thanks, guys. I'm

918
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: glad to be here. So you know, you were kind

919
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: of early on the trail of Josh Allen a few

920
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago when you put a column together on him

921
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: after he got off to that rousing start. Of course,

922
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,919
Speaker 1: then he ran into the Titans and the Chiefs and

923
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: the offense kind of sputtered there, but man, did it

924
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: ever get back on track last week against the Seahawks.

925
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: I guess word to the wise, do not deploy man

926
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: coverage all that often against this Bill's offense, Right, Yeah,

927
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: I think that's it's funny. I think we're starting to

928
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: see that with actually a lot of these younger quarterbacks

929
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: who can really move. There are some teams I don't

930
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: need to name name, but some defensive coordinators who they

931
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: really really really like that man coverage and it's hard

932
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: to get away from. And I think we've seen a

933
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: number of teams get tripped up by that. But boy,

934
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: that was certainly one where I guess Pete Carroll just

935
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: really really was expecting a lot more run than he

936
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 1: ended up getting and could not adjust. Yeah. You also

937
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: talked about early on in Josh's career. You kind of

938
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 1: gave a synopsis of his career that when he first

939
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: came to Buffalo and his pre draft visit, how that went,

940
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: the kind of guy he is. We've seen evidence of

941
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 1: this relationship that Josh has about how well he fits

942
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: into Buffalo, how much his teammates love him and almost

943
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: and also how the city has embraced him in his

944
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 1: last couple of days when they've donated almost three hundred

945
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on behalf of the memory of his grandmother

946
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: who passed away. How unique is a relationship like that

947
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Yeah, Well, first of all, that was

948
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 1: just incredible. I mean it really like my cold journalistic

949
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: heart was like little thing seeing him tweet about that

950
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 1: and seeing what people up there did in the memory

951
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: of his grandmother. I think. So I used to cover

952
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots, so I would go up there once a year,

953
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you guys know this better than anyone.

954
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: It is different. It is It is closer to college

955
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: than anything else that I've ever experienced in the NFL,

956
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: just in terms of the intensity and the taking over

957
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: of a total community being focused on game days. And

958
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: I think there's something about that combination of just a

959
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: rabid fan base, also a fan base that's had to

960
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: live through the last twenty years being in the same

961
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: division as the Patriots and Tom Brady and Bill Belichick,

962
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: and the potency of hope that a quarterback like Josh

963
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: just lights on fire, right because especially earlier and I

964
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: think he's been really impressive. And how he's improved year

965
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: to year, but consistency was the thing. Right. It was

966
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: never a question of whether the top twenty five most

967
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: impressive plays that Josh Allen made in any given year

968
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: were things that almost no other quarterback could do on

969
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: a football field. Right, It's okay, what happens water plays

970
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: twenty five to fifty fifty, one hundred, one hundred to

971
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: two hundred, so on, so forth. What are those And

972
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: if that's the mix, how do you construct a team

973
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 1: that is based so much on the performance of quarterback

974
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: when you don't have that kind of stable foundation. What

975
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: I thought was so interesting in talking to Josh a

976
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: little bit talking to Brandon, being just thinking a little

977
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: bit harder about the process in the last few years.

978
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: There was one the idea that he had to play

979
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,760
Speaker 1: a lot earlier than they wanted him to play, and

980
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: too just that their faith in him allowed them to

981
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: take the time to build up the team around him,

982
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: starting with the offensive line, then moving on into the

983
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: weapons that are around him, and how that didn't get

984
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: to happen exactly on the perfect timeline that I think

985
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: they would have liked to. For instance, one of the

986
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: examples was trying to trade for Stefon Diggs in the

987
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: middle of last season and feeling like that would have

988
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: put them in a better position in the playoffs. Now

989
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: if Minnesota says no, Minnesota says no, and then they

990
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: say yes in the off season, and the rest is history,

991
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: right at least so far. So it's kind of this

992
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: interesting mix to me of you have a plan that

993
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: in the big picture is going the way that they

994
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: wanted to, but at a couple of these little junctures,

995
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: the moves couldn't happen exactly when they would have liked

996
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: them too. And then you mix in just the way

997
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: that Bills fans feel about the Bills and about a

998
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: quarterback who I mean, I think one of the one

999
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: of the things that actually one of the PFF guys

1000
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: that I talked to just about the sort of statistical

1001
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: analysis relationship of those guys with Bills fans, one of

1002
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: the things that he said that I thought was right

1003
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: was you can have someone like Tyrod Taylor, who's a

1004
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: really good quarterback. He's not going to make you feel like, yeah,

1005
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: this guy can go toe to toe with Tom Brady.

1006
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: You can watch Josh Allen and feel like he could

1007
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: be able to do that if the top end or

1008
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:47,720
Speaker 1: the entire thing, he's capable of that. So I think

1009
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: that has just inspired this relationship that I think is

1010
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: really fun. And I loved getting to explore Alm. Yeah,

1011
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: I mean and talk to Josh about And I loved

1012
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: that I got to talk to him about Bar Bill

1013
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: because I used to go there whenever we would travel

1014
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: for a Bill's game. So it was nice to be

1015
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: able to sort of set that scene and I had

1016
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Steve is like the Norm Peterson

1017
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: at that place, so you know, he just walks, he

1018
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: walks in and it's like Steve, I live approximately one

1019
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: mile from that, yea, So yeah, you're you're right in

1020
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,919
Speaker 1: Steve's wheelhouse with that. Um, you know, the team, the team.

1021
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: The fans have completely fallen head over heels in love

1022
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: with Josh and we know why. But I want to

1023
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: pick up on what you mentioned about the college atmosphere

1024
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: that exists here in Buffalo with respect to rooting for

1025
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: this team, especially in light of the fact that here

1026
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: in New York State there are no fans in the stands.

1027
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: I know it's different in a couple of other pockets

1028
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: of the NFL this year, where there are some fans

1029
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: allowed to a certain extent in terms of capacity and whatnot.

1030
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: Have you done any I don't know, surveying of the

1031
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: NFL landscape and how players are adjusting to no fans

1032
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,959
Speaker 1: in the States. I mean, we've talked to some players here,

1033
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: and the defensive players in particular have said it is

1034
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: a noticeable difference. And the juice that we would sometimes

1035
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: get from the fans on a third down or what

1036
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,439
Speaker 1: have you, that's gone now and we have to look

1037
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: to each other as players to get that juice. And

1038
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw the stat that got put out

1039
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: on social media yesterday about how NFL teams at home

1040
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: are under five hundred on the year. I don't know

1041
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: how much you want to equate no fans in the

1042
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: stands to that, but I'm just curious from a national perspective,

1043
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: since you're kind of looking through that lens more than

1044
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: we are, if you've kind of gotten some feedback on

1045
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: that and how it's impacted players and teams this year.

1046
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: I think it has made a difference, and I think

1047
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: probably the most substantial way in which it's changed thing

1048
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: is the home road splits certainly with the ways that

1049
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: offenses can go to hardcount try to trick guys on

1050
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: the other side. I think that has made a difference,

1051
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: and we've seen that play out in turn of the

1052
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: home versus away records being noticeably different. I think beyond that,

1053
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: there's just a weirdness element that I don't have any

1054
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: evidence that it's affecting wins and losses, but I think

1055
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: if you talk to a lot of guys, one thing

1056
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: that stands out to them is that if the opposing

1057
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: team makes a big play, just nothing happens, and that's

1058
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: actually more jarring to them then when they make a

1059
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: big play, because usually then guys are kind of in

1060
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: the moment. They can hear what's happening on their sidelines,

1061
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: so everything gets rowdy and people are yelling and clapping

1062
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: and hugging and cheering, and they can feel like they're

1063
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: in the thick of that reaction. But if the opponent

1064
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown and then it just goes silent, I

1065
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: think that's very odd for people, particularly because if they're

1066
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: standing on their own sideline, well, none of their teammates

1067
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: are cheering, so it's like you could hear a pin

1068
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: drop And I think, you know, credit to the broadcasters

1069
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: when we're sitting at home watching, we are hearing different

1070
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: levels of the mixed in crowd noise. It's a similar

1071
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: it's a similarly constructed audio track or whatever the technical

1072
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: term would be that they're giving to ESPN or NBC

1073
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: or Fox or whoever. But it's not the same volume

1074
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: and it's not the same one that's being played in

1075
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: the stadiums. And I actually in the off season did

1076
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: a piece on this. Normally, with a full crowd, NFL

1077
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: stadiums are unbelievably loud. They get to like one hundred

1078
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: and ten decibels all the time, which is if you

1079
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: were standing next to a seven forty seven when it

1080
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: takes off. That's actually about as loud as it is.

1081
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: The reason that it doesn't drive us crazy if we

1082
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: watch a game in person is basically the same thing

1083
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: as like you ever drive on the highway and you

1084
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: turn your radio up, and you're turning it up and

1085
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: up because you're having a good time. When you're driving

1086
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: on the highway and you're listening to music or whatever.

1087
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: You get home, you park your car. The next morning,

1088
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: you get back in, it's silent and your driveway, you

1089
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: turn the radio on and you're like, WHOA, what did

1090
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: I just do? Like that's essentially what happens is that

1091
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: we're just used to it, and it has enough space

1092
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: and people wearing fuzzy coats to soak up all the

1093
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: sound waves and everything. It is normally incredibly loud in stadiums,

1094
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: So I think the pumped in noise that the players

1095
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: here is far more different and sounds far more just

1096
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: abnormal than it does the version that we hear on

1097
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: TV at home. So in terms of what's causing wins

1098
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: and losses to change, I think it's mostly just that

1099
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: the offenses have a slightly easier time on the road.

1100
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: Beyond that, though, I think it's just a kind of

1101
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: strange experience for a lot of guys. We've been talking

1102
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: about how different the league appears to a lot of people,

1103
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: and we're we're had a conversation about punters and how

1104
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: little work they seem to be getting, and we were

1105
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: talking I was waxing poetic about the way back in

1106
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: the old days when I used to cover Kit, you know,

1107
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: you punt seven or eight times a game, and it

1108
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: just happened the way it happened. And now you've got

1109
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: guys like Corby or kiss punting once a half maybe

1110
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes not at all in a half. Do you

1111
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: think that will force an evolution about them reassessing the

1112
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: importance of having a guy there for that, maybe just

1113
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,439
Speaker 1: one or two specific Yeah, that specifically I'm talking about.

1114
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: Will they start finding defensive lineman who can punt just

1115
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: so they don't have to waste a roster spot, you

1116
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing back like they did back

1117
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: in the sixties. Well, yeah, they used to do in

1118
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: the sixties, right, I think we're away away from that, right,

1119
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: like we're still trying to convince coaches not to run

1120
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: on second and long. I think moving away from the

1121
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: punter is probably that's going to be a longer conversation

1122
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: because it's also it may not be happening six seven

1123
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: times a game. It might be more in the three

1124
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: four range. But think about the moments we've seen, like

1125
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Johnny Hecker, what it counts, It really counts. So I

1126
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: think they still have a very valuable role to play,

1127
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: even if they're not being called on quite as often.

1128
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: I know that you you actually quoted Bojo in your

1129
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: story on the punters, you know, pity the punter and

1130
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: all of that. This quote is so bojo though, I mean,

1131
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: just talking about it. Oh, it's kind of weird. You know.

1132
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I guess if they're down and thinking, okay, well I

1133
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: might be going out and just like that is just

1134
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: him to a te isn't it like just so like yea,

1135
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: you don't care for well, you know, I'm trying to

1136
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:36,959
Speaker 1: stay focused. I don't want to be oh crap, gotta

1137
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: go punt like that. I mean, it's so bojo what

1138
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: you captured with the quotes that you used. What was

1139
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway from him in terms of what he

1140
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: thinks about all of this? Well, he first of all,

1141
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: I loved having an excuse to talk to him and

1142
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: interview him because he is fascinating to me. Because I

1143
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: don't know if this got into the water stream up

1144
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: where you guys are, But in New England there was

1145
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: a whole conspiracy thing about how Belichick, when he was

1146
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, wouldn't let him punt in preseason because

1147
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: he was trying to hide him from everyone, and somehow

1148
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: the Bills must have gotten wind. So that I sometimes

1149
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: jokingly say to my editor things like, can I write

1150
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: the oral history of the preseason where Bill Belichick tried

1151
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: to hide Corey b Horks from the rest of the

1152
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: league and wouldn't let him punt, and so I just

1153
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,439
Speaker 1: loved having a chance to talk to him. He I

1154
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: did ask him, and this didn't go in the story,

1155
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: but I asked him kind of how he as a

1156
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: punter feels about all those sort of analytics driven logic

1157
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: about when to go for it. And he was like, well,

1158
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I basically trust the decisions that they make, but I

1159
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: do sometimes see, you know, I'm competitive, so what goes

1160
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: through my mind is always like no, no, no, Like

1161
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: if you let me do it, I'll pin inside the

1162
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: ten and then will be in a good position. So

1163
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: whereas um A J. Cole, who's the Raiders punter I

1164
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: also talked to, he was like, they should always go

1165
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: for it, just like always go for it. I just

1166
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: want to score, Like, let's go. So I thought that

1167
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: was a little bit interesting, and it's also just funny

1168
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: to me because I think we right now it's it's

1169
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: pretty fashionable to talk about fourth down aggressiveness and the

1170
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: perspective of the punter on that right is so unique. Yeah,

1171
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: and the Bills are number one in fourth down conversion

1172
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: rate this year. They haven't done it a lot, but

1173
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: when they have, they've been successful. You know, Josh, you know,

1174
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: a six five, two hundred and thirty seven pound quarterback

1175
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: sneaking it has been pretty effective in terms of that.

1176
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, the other piece that you wrote that we

1177
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: found interesting was the most pressing questions for the second

1178
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: half of the NFL twenty twenty season. Which one did

1179
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: would you put at the top of your list because

1180
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: you didn't really rank these per se, but of the

1181
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: ones that you came up with, which one kind of

1182
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: captured you the most? Well, So I think one of

1183
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 1: the biggest is going to be if we see any

1184
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: of these defenses kind of get it together over the

1185
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: last catch up half of the season and change a

1186
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: little bit of the tenor of what's winning and losing games,

1187
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: right because right now it kind of feels like first

1188
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: team to thirty and that's about it. I will say

1189
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: one that is less pressing, but I'm fascinated by, is

1190
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: when we're going to start seeing teams really be acting

1191
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: in ways that we can tie to the declining salary

1192
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: cap that's coming next season. Because there are some teams,

1193
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: and you guys are lucky the Bills are not one

1194
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,439
Speaker 1: of them. But particularly the Eagles and the Saints are

1195
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: just they are so far over the cap next year.

1196
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: I cannot put together a path that makes sense for

1197
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: how they're going to deal with it. And we haven't

1198
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: really seen them beyond just a little bit of inactivity

1199
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: around the trade deadline. No one's done anything, like, no

1200
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: one's done anything to get to get ready for this.

1201
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:09,919
Speaker 1: So at a certain point, I hope what we don't

1202
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: see is just guys getting cut left and right. But

1203
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: there's going to have to be something that happens because

1204
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: and this is off the top of my head, I

1205
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: wish I had it in front of me, but I

1206
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: think New Orleans is in the eighty million dollar range

1207
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: over the twenty twenty one cap, and that's before they've

1208
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: sign you know, that's accounting for all the free agents

1209
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: that they're set to lose, but before they sign a

1210
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: single player, even a draft fit you're talking to like

1211
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: you're talking they've got like thirty players on their team

1212
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: and they're over the cap, right exactly. Yeah, So there,

1213
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: it's just something that could fundamentally reshape a roster. And

1214
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: it's this big looming thing that I think nobody quite

1215
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: knows how to deal with it's so they're just waiting.

1216
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 1: But that's the type of thing like we always talk

1217
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: about how you can massage the cap and the CAP's

1218
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: not real, and you can deal with the cap when

1219
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: you need to deal with the cap. That's true when

1220
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five million bucks.

1221
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: It's not true when you're talking about eighty like that.

1222
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: That's that's a huge amount of your roster. So again,

1223
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: I really hope the upshot of it isn't a lot

1224
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 1: of guys getting cut and having a sign for the

1225
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: minimum somewhere else. But there's going to have to be

1226
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: some big moves made for them to get under. One

1227
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 1: of the other things that's unique about the twenty twenty

1228
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: season it doesn't happen all that often, is we got

1229
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: a lot of young, very young quarterbacks who are playing really,

1230
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: really well. Joe Herbert or Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Ta

1231
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Tonga Vloa seems to be playing very well, along with Yeah,

1232
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 1: some guys who were just in the league for a

1233
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: year or two that seemed to be just taken off.

1234
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: What do you think the reasoning is for that? Is? It?

1235
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Is it? I keep asking this question everybody we have

1236
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: on is it easier to play quarterback in the NFL

1237
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: these days? Or is the coaching and preparation and the

1238
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: things that they do an NFL organizations just make it

1239
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: that much more conducive to young quarterbacks being successful. Well,

1240
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I think some of the rules changes particularly. I think

1241
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: one of the things that actually has made it a

1242
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: little bit easier on these guys is that they have

1243
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: a lot more opportunities to throw over the middle, just

1244
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: because of how the rules have changed about how defenders

1245
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: can hit receivers. And if you think about it, so

1246
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: much of playing quarterback in the NFL is about accuracy, right,

1247
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: And it's a lot easier to be accurate throwing what

1248
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,759
Speaker 1: we think of as a ten yard pass between the hashes,

1249
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: or at least between the numbers, than it is throwing

1250
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: to the boundary, because in reality, ten yard pass straight

1251
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: over the middle is a ten yard pass. Ten yard

1252
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: pass to the boundary is like twenty five yards, right.

1253
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: And that's actually something that came up when I was

1254
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: doing the reporting for the Punter's piece just about why

1255
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: we've seen so much offense this year. But I think

1256
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: it's really important because you look back to there was

1257
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: that big Chief's Ravens game where I thought the Chiefs

1258
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 1: did a really really good job defending the Ravens and

1259
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: a huge part of their game plan was to push

1260
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: Lamar to have to make throws to the boundaries. And

1261
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of examples where you're

1262
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: seeing that become more and more important, and when a

1263
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: good offense, a good play caller is able to counteract that,

1264
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: I do think it puts a lot of these guys

1265
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: in favorable situations. There's some other stuff too. I think

1266
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: in general, coaches see it as their responsibility more so

1267
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: to put guys in a position to succeed and to

1268
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 1: use whatever best skills their players have as opposed to okay,

1269
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:44,879
Speaker 1: I got to mold this guy to fit my system.

1270
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: Like you look at someone like Herbert, who I think

1271
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: is the most surprising of the three top quarterbacks top

1272
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: ricky quarterbacks this year, and I never would have predicted

1273
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 1: that he would have played like this at all. I

1274
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: don't want to make it sound like i'm but one

1275
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 1: of the things where you look back and you can see, Okay,

1276
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: I guess I get a little bit of why this

1277
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: might be happening is that when he was at Oregon.

1278
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, he's a big guy. He can sort of

1279
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: look like your big pocket passer, but he's really athletic.

1280
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: He's a special athlete. He could really move, and when

1281
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: he was at Oregon, they just really didn't run him

1282
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 1: very much and they didn't let him use that part

1283
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: of his game. He's able to do that a little

1284
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: bit better. And he's also he's not necessarily in the

1285
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: best situation of those three guys. I think Tua is

1286
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 1: overall just because the Dolphins have a good defense, they've

1287
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: good running backs, but he is. Herbert is throwing to

1288
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: some really talented receivers, so he's getting guys who are

1289
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: who have five yards of separation that he can throw

1290
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: too in ways that two we just haven't seen enough.

1291
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 1: Burrow certainly is throwing into super tight windows all the time,

1292
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: so he has some things working in his favor. But

1293
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: I think that's an example where a guy comes to

1294
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,639
Speaker 1: an NFL team, has an NFL coaching staff and they

1295
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 1: just take a look at him, probably in part because

1296
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: of the way that he had to start, which was,

1297
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 1: oh geez, our doctor accidentally punctured Tyrod Taylor's lung, Like

1298
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: here you go, kid, and they probably say to themselves,

1299
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 1: this isn't the time to worry about can we mold

1300
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: him into exactly what we want him to be? However,

1301
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: many years down the line, this is the time to

1302
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: think about what does he do well? How do we

1303
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: let him go do it? And I think there's a

1304
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: lot of that, So I think that's the biggest reason

1305
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing that for these guys. But some of the

1306
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: rules changes and just some of the bad defense too,

1307
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 1: I think it's maybe these guys look good, right, Yeah,

1308
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: I get it. Nora, Thanks for the time. We appreciate

1309
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: you kind of giving us some of that national landscape perspective.

1310
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: We get a little we suffer from Bill's myopia here sometimes,

1311
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: so thanks for broadening the lens for us. We appreciate it. Thanks, Nora, absolutely,

1312
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. All right, Nora Princeati from The Ringer you

1313
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: can see your work on there at the Ringer dot com.

1314
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,799
Speaker 1: As used to be a Patriots reporter, as she mentioned,

1315
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 1: but yeah, kind of taking a much wider view at

1316
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: the league as a whole. And the punter story was

1317
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: just funny. I pity the poor punter. And she's got

1318
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: quotes from Bojorquez in there. I was like, all right,

1319
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: we gotta get her on. But yeah, good stuff from her.

1320
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: I think there is a difference though, between Herbert's success and,

1321
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: for example, Lamar Jackson's success. I mean, Baltimore scrapped everything

1322
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: right to mold an offense around the talents of Lamar Jackson.

1323
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert got thrown into the fire and said go

1324
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: get him kid, and they've made it work. I mean,

1325
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: four three hundred yard passing games for him in seven starts.

1326
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's nuts. I think when you talk

1327
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson, don't forget they had an entire year

1328
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 1: to do it. Joe Flacco was there, Lamar was getting

1329
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: sprinkled in for a package here, package there. He looked

1330
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 1: like he was going to be a gadget quarterback. And

1331
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: then in the off season, the Baltimore Ravens they said,

1332
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: you know what, if we're gonna make this kid our quarterback,

1333
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: here's what it's gonna take for us to be successful

1334
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 1: doing it. And they bit the bullet and just did it.

1335
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 1: And kudos to them for doing it and having Lamar

1336
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: Jackson turned into an MVP with that kind of support.

1337
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: If every quarterback had the support Lamar Jackson did, it

1338
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't be such a coin flip for these quarterbacks in

1339
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: the first round to be successful, because you really got

1340
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: to tip your hat to the Baltimore Ravens way they've

1341
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: handled it, and she's right. The Chargers and the way

1342
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn and their offensive staff have handled Justin Herbert

1343
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: has been really good because they're not trying to get

1344
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,600
Speaker 1: him to play their offense. They're just letting him do

1345
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: what he does best. And they've got enough weapons. Their

1346
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 1: roster is deep enough they can do that and be successful.

1347
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 1: Although they've been taking it on the chin in these

1348
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: close losses, they're playing good football, and like Anthony Lynn

1349
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 1: has said time and time again, listen, weren't doing enough

1350
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: good things. If we just keep doing it and doing

1351
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: a little better, we're gonna start winning games. He's I

1352
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: think in the long term he's right. Doesn't sound too

1353
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: good when you you're on a little big losing streak,

1354
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: but I think they're in the right spot and they've

1355
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: taken the right tack. Have Sandy of La Chargers all right,

1356
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: break time for us, But you may want to get

01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 1: we all know and love called Dolphin, Jets fan or

1370
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 1: Pats fan. You know Steve? Last week I had a

1371
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: a Bills fan call me and say, hey, why are

1372
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 1: you calling them doll fans? That sounds so weird, He goes,

1373
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't you just call him a Fins fan? I said, Hey,

1374
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm just calling them what the franchise calls their fans

1375
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: DL hyphen fa N And the guy sent me a

1376
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: message back saying that is awesome and hilarious. I am

1377
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 1: now going to bust on my brother in law who's

1378
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: a Dolphins fan because of that, So we're not only

1379
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: here to entertain, we're here to educate. So the name

1380
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 1: of the game Dolphin, Jets Fan or Pats Fan if

1381
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 1: you haven't played before. The way this works is Steve

1382
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 1: and I will read you a tweet that will either

1383
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: be from a Dolphins fan, a Jets fan, or a

1384
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: Patriots fan. You have to guess which one it is.

1385
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,759
Speaker 1: And obviously we have cut out the words that would

1386
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: give such clues away to make it a little bit

1387
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: more difficult. But it is important that you keep up

1388
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 1: with current events in the AFC East. That will undoubtedly

1389
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: help you in guessing who is delivering the tweet on Twitter.

1390
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 1: We've both been surprised by, like last week, it literally

1391
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 1: took us like six or eight people. That was two

1392
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:29,879
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Last week they got in the first guess

1393
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: I was. We've been so surprised at how difficult it's

1394
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: been for some people to get this right, trying to

1395
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: guess between these three fan bases. It's just, yeah, it's

1396
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: been surprising. So our first contestant for this week's edition

1397
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: of Dolphan Jets Fan or Pats Fan is Chris in

1398

1405
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: as follows. Great tank effort from a guy who won't

1406
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: be here next season and probably should be sent directly

1407
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: into the sun with his head coach. Is that a

1408
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:28,639
Speaker 1: Jets fan, a Doll fan or a Pats fan? I'll

1409

1411
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: I can't figure out who else you're talking about. You

1412
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: think he's talking about Adam Gase. Chris, you are one

Speaker 1: hundred percent correct. Congratulations, you are this week's winner of

Speaker 1: all right. So Chris is our winner right out of

1423
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: the gate. Now you want to know the most hilarious thing, Steve.

1424
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: The twitter handle four. That guy that sent the tweety

1425
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: is Adam Gay should have been fired fifty one days ago.

1426
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: That's his Twitter handle. That's a little lengthy. It's a

1427
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: little lengthy, but that's who it is. Wow. So a

1428
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: winner right out of the box. I think we have

1429
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: to get more cryptic with some of these. The tank

1430
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: was probably a giveaway for sure. They're certainly they're the

1431
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: only team that can be accused of tanking. Well, I

1432
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: will say this, um, in trying to find some tweets

1433
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: this week the Patriots, UM, there are some people that

1434
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: are suspecting that now that they've beaten the Jets, that

1435
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 1: any any hope of tanking is over because Patriots fans

1436
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 1: already know what the Jets are after, which is Trevor Lawrence. Sure,

1437
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 1: so they're thinking, well, we should tank two, we should

1438
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 1: get him instead of the Jets, because that's just gonna

1439
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: be a headache for the next twelve years. Well yeah,

1440
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: and at least the kid will have the chance to succeed. Yeah,

1441
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like like Sam Darnold. Look he's

1442
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 1: neck deep in it. Well yeah, and believe me, being

1443
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: a Long Island native, I know a Jets fan or two,

1444
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: and they are already off the Darnald train. They're already

1445
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: off the kids twenty three. He's twenty three, Steve, They're done. Yeah,

1446
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: that's crazy. They think that he cannot be rehabilitated from

1447
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: from where from the depths to which the Jets have

1448
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: sunk him. So they're just ready to rip the band

1449
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: aid off and start all over again. Wow. Not amazing. Yeah,

1450
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: and you think about it, that kid's gonna if that

1451
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: were the case, say, it all comes to fruition. What

1452
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: we're conjecturing here is the Jets get the first pick

1453
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 1: of they're after to take Trevor Lawrence. Sam Darnley gets

1454
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: kicked to the curb. He'll bounce right into the lap

1455
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: of a team like the Denver Broncos or a team

1456
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, you name it, the Indianapolis Colts. He'll play.

1457
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:19,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna play for a decade plus for that team. Yeah,

1458
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 1: and he will beat the Jets multiple times. There's a

1459
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: part of me that almost wants Trevor Lawrence to go

1460
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: to the Jets because they'll mess him up. We don't

1461
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,759
Speaker 1: have to worry about him. If he goes to New England,

1462
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:34,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a whole nother problem. He'll start smoking crack.

1463
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean he'll be, he'll be, he'll totally yeah, he'll

1464
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: totally go and he'll get Hell, it'll be so bad. Yeah,

1465
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 1: he'll be so bad, that kid. Yeah, and he's hey

1466
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: if I'm him, if I'm him, I just say, you

1467
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: know what, I want to finish up my career here

1468
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: at Clemson with a full season, a great year, And

1469
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: I want to finish my college career like a college kid,

1470
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: shod on the field with fans in the stands. Next spring,

1471
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay in school. Yeah, that's what I if

1472
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: I would pay the ultimate Yeah, no exact Jets, because

1473
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do myself a favor and give myself the full,

1474
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: the full benefit of my college experience. I'm gonna stay

1475
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 1: at Clemson for as long as I can. There the

1476
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: draft since we won't use this one next week. I

1477
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 1: just wanted to read this other tweet, which one this

1478
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 1: is from a Patriots fan, and he says, ironically, the

1479
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: guy's Twitter handle is the Gentleman. But his tweet is

1480
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill something if we lose this game hashtag

1481
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 1: go Pats. So he was in he was referencing, you know,

1482
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: the game between the Jets and the Patriots, and as

1483
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: we know, the Jets were still winless and the Jets

1484
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: were leading late in that game, Cam Newton had to

1485
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: stage a game winning drive. This Pats fan tweets, I'm

1486
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna kill something if we lose this game. It's unbelievable

1487
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 1: where some of these fans they go into dark, dark

1488
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: places place man, and you go back over the course

1489
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: of the of the centuries of you know, centuries that

1490
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, the time of the National Football League. There's

1491
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: two instances where I can see something like this has happened.

1492
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 1: One is when John Elway's drafted by the Indianapolis Colts

1493
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: or the Baltimore Colts at that time, and he I'm

1494
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 1: not going and he said, I'm not doing it. I'm

1495
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 1: gonna go play baseball. He recognized that it was a

1496
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: poorly run organization and that his chances of success were

1497
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: virtually nil with that regime, and he said, I will

1498
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 1: not play for you. Secondarily, Eli Manning UH and now

1499
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 1: Chargers Now to them and to their defense, this is

1500
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 1: a little different than it was with the UH with

1501
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:51,759
Speaker 1: John Elway. Archie was in the middle of it, of course,

1502
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 1: with Eli, just like he had been with Peyton. And

1503
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: he's looking out for his sons. And I get it.

1504
01:23:56,479 --> 01:24:00,679
Speaker 1: And Archie is not just a dad. He a former

1505
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:05,719
Speaker 1: great NFL quarterback who was his own self the greatest

1506
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: quarterback to play on the worst team in the history

1507
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 1: and languished on a terrible franchise for the balance of

1508
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: his career. For the whole time in his career, he

1509
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 1: was stuck in that with a bad team. So he

1510
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: was looking out for his son, and the club asked

1511
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 1: him about what it chances are, and he said, no,

1512
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 1: your organization is notoriously run poorly, and you shouldn't draft him.

1513
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,759
Speaker 1: I don't want my kid to come here and play. Basically,

1514
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: he was honest with him. Now he did it on

1515
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:35,759
Speaker 1: the down low, and then the Chargers stupidly made it public,

1516
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 1: but they drafted him anyway, and then made a deal

1517
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: with the Giants, and they flip flopped Philip Rivers for

1518
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 1: Eli Manning and pick one and pick four. They flip

1519
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 1: flopped them because after they picked him, I would imagine

1520
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: they call him and Eli said, no, I'm not gonna

1521
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 1: do it. I'm not coming. It has happened before that

1522
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: a guy like Trevor Lawrence has come out and has said, uh,

1523
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I'm not a player yet. And

1524
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: as long as I got the control of my own destiny,

1525
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it. Yeah, so you're gonna give me

1526
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: a chance to go someplace other than the place at

1527
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 1: least I don't want to go, even if it's not

1528
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 1: the a one place i'd love to go, I'm not

1529
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 1: I'm not going there. So and I'll tell and I

1530
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: and I get it completely from this end of my

1531
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,640
Speaker 1: career in my life, I get it now. Back at

1532
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: the other end, when I was, when I was a

1533
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: draft pick, I thought it was crazy talk. I mean,

1534
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 1: just get just get in there, and if you're in

1535
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: the door, if you're good enough, you'll be good enough.

1536
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: And you look good enough. Uh. But from this end

1537
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 1: of my life and this end of my career, you know,

1538
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta look at the kid and say,

1539
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 1: you do it's best for you now. Yeah, and even

1540
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: if but delay your career a year, you're all right.

1541
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: So that game, though, between the Jets and the Patriots,

1542
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: this is where Patriots fans were. They're trailing in the game, okay,

1543
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: to the Jets, they're trailing, yes, and they're two and five,

1544
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 1: and so this is what Pats fans are tweeting, let's

1545
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 1: either start winning or start tanking. Time to decide. That

1546
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: moment has come. I just love that they're there. But

1547
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: they did win the game. They are three and five,

1548
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: and they're technically in the hunt. You think about the AFC,

1549
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: there's no team in the AFC that only has four wins.

1550
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 1: There's a line of demarcation. Everybody from ninth team all

1551
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: the way through the number one team have at least

1552
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: five wins, and of course the Steelers the top with

1553
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 1: eight wins, along with the Chiefs, and everybody below that

1554
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,720
Speaker 1: only has three wins starting with like the Patriots and

1555
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: those teams. Nobody is four and four at the current mark.

1556
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: So there's a line of demarcation between the halves and

1557
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 1: has not. There's nine teams that feel like they've got

1558
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: a shot to just slip in and out of the

1559
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 1: playoff picture. Everybody else from the Broncos Patriots on down

1560
01:26:56,360 --> 01:27:00,799
Speaker 1: is looking up. And I think that's really interesting about

1561
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: this year's playoff race. You got nine teams that are

1562
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, from the fifth seed on down, a sixth

1563
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 1: seed on down. Everybody's got five wins down through the nineteam.

1564
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. FCS deep, yea certainly deeper than the NFC.

1565
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: The NFC West is arguably the best division in football,

1566
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: but the NFC is not nearly as deep as the

1567
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 1: AFC is this year for sure. All Right, we have

1568
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we return more of

1569
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: your tweet sheet comments. We'll take your phone calls at

1570
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty as we are checking

1571

Speaker 1: More from you and from us when we return here

1574
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's

1575
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio back on One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

1577
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: keeping your eye on when the Bill face the Cardinals

1578
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday eight h three, five fifty number to get

1579
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 1: on board and we will check in here with Mike

1580
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: and Lancaster. Who's joining us? Mike, you're on one Bill's Live.

1581
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 1: What do you have, sir? All right? I guess I

1582
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: can have a question about player and roster. Sure, can

1583
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: you tell me what's going on with Isaiah Higgen Isaiah Hodgins. Yeah,

1584
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 1: he's uh. He's on injured reserve and has been there

1585
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 1: since the beginning of the season. He was dealing with

1586
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 1: a shoulder problem through the course of training camp and

1587
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:43,559
Speaker 1: he's been there ever since. Now he is eligible to

1588
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: come off of that if they deem him healthy enough

1589
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,639
Speaker 1: to return to play or something like that. But right now,

1590
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:51,799
Speaker 1: you know, they got six receivers on the active roster,

1591
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,800
Speaker 1: and they had seven up last week with Kumero coming

1592
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 1: up from the practice squad playing special teams, So there's

1593
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:03,080
Speaker 1: really no need for them to activate him to the

1594
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 1: active roster because they don't really need him right now.

1595
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 1: I suppose if they suffered a rash of injuries at

1596
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 1: the position, then they would consider bringing him off IR

1597
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 1: because it sounds like the shoulder problem that he has

1598
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 1: is something that's going to have to be addressed in

1599
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 1: the off season, not just through rehabilitation, but potentially a procedure. Yeah.

1600
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,680
Speaker 1: And the reason and here's the thing too, that the

1601
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 1: reason they would say, well, why don't they get it

1602
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 1: fixed like first thing in the in the regular season

1603
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 1: and then have him come back and maybe make a

1604
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: push to get on the field late in the season

1605
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 1: or something like that. It's better because of the depth

1606
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 1: they have at the wide receiver position. And I'm guessing

1607
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 1: here they want to keep him on injured reserve so

1608
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 1: that he can be in meetings and do everything he

1609
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:49,160
Speaker 1: can do physically without and kind of be a part

1610
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: of it without having to rehab a shoulder. At least

1611
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:54,639
Speaker 1: now he can kind of do everything he can't get

1612
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 1: ready to have the surgery and kind of participate as

1613
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 1: much as he can day to day and get a

1614
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 1: for what it's like to be a pro athlete without

1615
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 1: being out of the building rehabbing his shoulders. That would

1616
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 1: be my take on it. Yeah, because if they get

1617
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: if he has the surgery, then he's away from you

1618
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: for three weeks or whatever and he's not even in

1619
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:20,720
Speaker 1: the building and all that yickety act. So he you

1620
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 1: know what, I'm saying they get more. He gets more

1621
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: benefit out of it when he comes back this next

1622
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,920
Speaker 1: preseason than he does rehabbing all the way through the season,

1623
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:31,679
Speaker 1: not being really a part of the roster, not being

1624
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: a hanging around that kind of thing. And I think, man,

1625
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 1: the group that they've got on the field right now

1626
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 1: is working pretty well, so there isn't a demand to

1627
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:42,680
Speaker 1: get him on the field right now. But I mean,

1628
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I mean I liked him a lot

1629
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 1: coming out of college. I don't know that there's a

1630
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: receiver on this roster that executes the double move as

1631
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: well as he does for being such a long and

1632
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 1: angular receiver as he is. You go watch his college

1633
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 1: state but Oregon State. It's impressive and even Brandon being

1634
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 1: referenced his ability to execute double moves at his height.

1635
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 1: When you're that tall and that long, it's hard to

1636
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 1: break down, get in and out, and and he does it.

1637
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:13,720
Speaker 1: Um it's impressive. So just more to look forward to,

1638
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 1: I guess, because they haven't really needed him this season fortunately,

1639
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:20,680
Speaker 1: and they have had They've had Duke Williams up for

1640
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:23,719
Speaker 1: a game, so they're they're deep. They've got enough guys

1641
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 1: they trust out there to help him out. Plus with

1642
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:29,639
Speaker 1: Crumero now here also who's been activated, so they they've

1643
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 1: got enough guys where they have a lot of faith

1644
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:33,760
Speaker 1: in so they can use they can make sure that

1645
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: when Hodgens is ready, he's just there. They don't even

1646
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:39,800
Speaker 1: have to flip a switch all of a sudden. It

1647
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 1: is just more paperwork than is anything. He can just

1648
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:44,680
Speaker 1: keep doing what he's been doing. All right, we have

1649
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 1: to take a break. When we return, we will have

1650
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: ESPN dot COM's Cardinals beat reporter what's his name, josh

1651
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:57,640
Speaker 1: winfass I always I'm always worried about mispronouncing his last name,

1652
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:00,839
Speaker 1: but josh Winfasz will join us give us the update

1653
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 1: on what's going on with the Cardinals. They have a

1654
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,760
Speaker 1: long injury list as well, so we'll see what he

1655
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:08,639
Speaker 1: can tell us about the availability of some players, including

1656
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 1: former Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who's dealing with a

1657
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:15,680
Speaker 1: hamstring injury this week and is a question mark for

1658
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, So we'll get the update from him when

1659

01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park, our number

1689
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,639
Speaker 1: three of the program and joining us at this time.

1690
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:11,759
Speaker 1: ESPN dot COM's Arizona Cardinals beat reporter Josh wine Fuz

1691
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 1: with us on the line. Josh, how you doing. Thanks

1692
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 1: for giving us some time today. I'm great. Thanks for

1693
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,760
Speaker 1: having me guys. Yeah. So the first thing that grabbed me,

1694
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:24,160
Speaker 1: Josh is some of the roster juggling that they've done here,

1695
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 1: bringing guys off the COVID reserve list, pulling a couple

1696
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:31,400
Speaker 1: of guys off of IR, and then signing Jonathan Joseph.

1697
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:34,880
Speaker 1: What are you to make of the Jonathan Joseph signing.

1698
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 1: Are they a little bit concerned about the health there

1699
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,799
Speaker 1: on the back end with Kirkpatrick and the like. Probably.

1700
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:45,760
Speaker 1: I think he's more of a body right now at

1701
01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:49,719
Speaker 1: this point, justin case Kirkpatrick can't go. Then we'll see

1702
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 1: how how that plays out. But you know, the Cardinals

1703
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:55,080
Speaker 1: still have Prince Amukamara on their practice squad. He's been

1704
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 1: there for a while, so I would expect him at

1705
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,640
Speaker 1: some point to get called up. But the Joseph and

1706
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: moved back, it was just more of an insurance, if anything,

1707
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:05,320
Speaker 1: just let's get this body on the roster, let's get

1708
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 1: him going just as you know, just in case we

1709
01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 1: need him. Um, So that's why I think happened. How

1710
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,720
Speaker 1: how do you assess the Cardinals defense of late? I

1711
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 1: know they've had some guys in the secondary, they've been

1712
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 1: nicked up. As we've just been talking about, where do

1713
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:22,280
Speaker 1: they stand right now? I think the defense as a

1714
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 1: whole of them playing pretty good this year. But from

1715
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 1: a from an injury standpoint, I mean, the heck they

1716
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 1: they ended last week's game playing their six and seventh

1717
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 1: cornerbacks because of injuries you know, they they they were

1718
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 1: already down Robert Alford to start this season, and then

1719
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 1: because of covid Byard Murphy was out, Drake ker Patrick

1720
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:42,840
Speaker 1: got hurt, Kevin Peterson got a concussion, So then you're

1721
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:47,400
Speaker 1: down to Batti Bosby, who was already cut um. And

1722
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:49,680
Speaker 1: then you know, they had one other guy who was

1723
01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:51,719
Speaker 1: basically the seventh guy in the roster. He was promoted

1724
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 1: from a practice squad just before the game. So from

1725
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 1: a secondary standpoind from a cornerback standpoint in particular, they're

1726
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: quite thin, so I think that they needs some of

1727
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 1: these guys to get healthy pretty quickly. And then even

1728
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:07,759
Speaker 1: at safety, I mean Buddha Baker and you know Deonte Thompson,

1729
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 1: Bulls show up on the injury list this week. Maybe

1730
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:12,639
Speaker 1: those injuries are minor and they'll be fine come Sunday.

1731
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:15,719
Speaker 1: But first of all, does Buddha is still kind of

1732
01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:18,320
Speaker 1: helping the nickel there as as a slot guy or

1733
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 1: is he strictly safety these days? For them majority safety

1734
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 1: still comes down in the box and helps once in

1735
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 1: a while, but they've tried to transition him more to

1736
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 1: a safety role than the last year year and a half.

1737
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:32,160
Speaker 1: And obviously he's paid off. You know, he's playing some

1738
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:35,280
Speaker 1: of the best football of his career, right. Um. But yeah,

1739
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 1: like he said, he was on the injury report. Dandy

1740
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,719
Speaker 1: Thompson was on the injury report. But fortunately for the Cardinals,

1741
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 1: they got back Jalen Thompson from the injured from injured

1742
01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:46,920
Speaker 1: reserve last week, so they do have one healthy body there.

1743
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 1: But UM, I'm sure at this point a lot of

1744
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:54,880
Speaker 1: this is precaution type of of of injuries, you know,

1745
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 1: of of of of rest. But you know, um, I

1746
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 1: think Buda Baker's injury was a groin and that's that's

1747
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 1: nothing to mess with. You know that that's one of

1748
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:05,720
Speaker 1: those things that that can linger. So they're to be

1749
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:09,560
Speaker 1: careful with that. What have you heard from opposing coaches

1750
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 1: about how they've tried to prepare for Kyler m Actually

1751
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 1: I just wrote about that this week. In fact, um,

1752
01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:19,840
Speaker 1: you can visit the story on ESPN dot com. He

1753
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 1: gives guys nightmares, you know, Um, Washington Football teams head

1754
01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 1: coach Ron Rivera said he gave him anxiety. You know,

1755
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 1: it's very hard to prepare for guy like Kyler Murray

1756
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 1: because he's not just a passer and he's not just

1757
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:36,240
Speaker 1: a rusher, you know he can. He can do both

1758
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: at a very high level. He leaves all quarterbacks in

1759
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:42,320
Speaker 1: rushing right now, he's on pace to have four thousand

1760
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 1: yards and a thousand yards rushing, which has never done,

1761
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 1: never been done before. So he keeps these defensive coordinators

1762
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:51,799
Speaker 1: up at night because you know, if a play breaks

1763
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:54,559
Speaker 1: down and he and he sees it quickly, he'll tuck

1764
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 1: and go. And he's quick enough to outrun linebackers, to

1765
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,120
Speaker 1: outrun a defense of end. And then once it's one

1766
01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:02,479
Speaker 1: on one with him in a safety or him in

1767
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:05,439
Speaker 1: a corner, you know, he's you know, he'll put a

1768
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:07,840
Speaker 1: headed shoulder fake on these guys and get by them.

1769
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 1: So he's very tough to deal from that standpoint. And

1770
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 1: he's a great arm So if a team wants to

1771
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: to pack the box to try to contain him, he'll

1772
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 1: just sit back in the pocket. The protection has been

1773
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 1: very good in the last couple of weeks, and he'll

1774
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 1: just pick apart, you know, a secondary with his arm,

1775
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:24,599
Speaker 1: and he can do it on the run like we're

1776
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:28,719
Speaker 1: seeing now on the screen. Yeah, and you know, Josh,

1777
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 1: how how have you seen most defenses approach him from

1778
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 1: a pass rush perspective, because obviously you've got to be

1779
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: disciplined in your rush lanes because you don't want to

1780
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:40,760
Speaker 1: give him an escape route. Have they tried to just

1781
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 1: kind of squeeze the pocket down on him. I saw

1782
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:46,799
Speaker 1: the Dolphins a couple of times he was delayed blitzing

1783
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:50,200
Speaker 1: last week against him. What's been the general approach or

1784
01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:53,599
Speaker 1: has it been a completely mixed bag all season? It's

1785
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 1: been a completely mixed bag because if they try one

1786
01:38:55,520 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 1: thing it doesn't work, they'll try another thing, and if

1787
01:38:57,439 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, I mean, then then onto a third thing.

1788
01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the problem with him is that there's there's

1789
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 1: too many things he can do. He's not your prototypical

1790
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: drop back passers, he's not your prototypical running quarterback. So

1791
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:10,599
Speaker 1: you can try to cut off one area, but then

1792
01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:14,679
Speaker 1: he'll just hurt you with, you know, from another area.

1793
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 1: So there's it's just too difficult for for for a

1794
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 1: defense to come with one specific game plan against him.

1795
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 1: I did think last week that the Dolphins did a

1796
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 1: good job of taking away the corners. If you can

1797
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: do that against him, you make life very tough for

1798
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:29,680
Speaker 1: him because he loves to hit the edge and go

1799
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,200
Speaker 1: but at the same time, if you do that, he'll

1800
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 1: he'll hit you inside for you know, for a quip,

1801
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, five yard game or even if you can

1802
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: break one free for twenty five thirty yards. So it's

1803
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:42,679
Speaker 1: really I mean to pick your poison with him. What

1804
01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:44,559
Speaker 1: was what were the things that led to the loss

1805
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 1: against Miami last week? Well, I'll say this, it wasn't

1806
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 1: on Kyler. I actually wrote that I felt that that,

1807
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinals are relying on him a little

1808
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 1: too much this year. I think Sunday's loss in particular,

1809
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:59,240
Speaker 1: I think had to do more with Cliff Kingsbury's play calling.

1810
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 1: I think that's an issue in some of their closer

1811
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:04,559
Speaker 1: games and losses, as well as the running game outside

1812
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray. You know, I think if my count correct,

1813
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:09,639
Speaker 1: there are only twenty six rushes for I think seventy

1814
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:12,479
Speaker 1: two or seventy four yards by everybody else he had

1815
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards and seem like Chase Edmonds just

1816
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:18,000
Speaker 1: could not get going. Though. The Dolphins I think figured

1817
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 1: out if they could stuff Chase Edmonds and make that

1818
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:24,600
Speaker 1: means Kyler have to beat them with his feet, and

1819
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: he almost did so that it almost backfight in their face,

1820
01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 1: but he chase Edmonsons couldn't get going, he couldn't get

1821
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 1: big plays. He was getting too many small, chunk yards,

1822
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 1: and I think that's ultimately what did the Cardinals end. Josh,

1823
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: what is the general fan reaction on sports talk shows

1824
01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:48,720
Speaker 1: out your way regarding Kingsbury, Because I know there's been

1825
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 1: some consternation there about some of his clock management, his

1826
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,080
Speaker 1: game management, as you mentioned, some of the play calling.

1827
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 1: Was it just people just really sour after a game

1828
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:01,479
Speaker 1: they probably he felt they should have won. Or has

1829
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:06,680
Speaker 1: this persisted beyond that When he loses, they're down on him,

1830
01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 1: and mentally, when he makes poor calls that might have

1831
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:14,800
Speaker 1: them lose, they're down on him. But when Kyler throws

1832
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:17,320
Speaker 1: for three hundred and fifty yards, you know, kirshn Kirk

1833
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:19,599
Speaker 1: gets one hundred and thirty yards and two touchdowns, they

1834
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:21,560
Speaker 1: think he's the greatest offensive mine to ever walk on

1835
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 1: the face bear. So obviously it's like just any I mean,

1836
01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 1: any team, any coach. When he does something well, they

1837
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 1: love him. When he does something bad, they loathe them.

1838
01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:31,559
Speaker 1: But I think people are starting to realize that there

1839
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 1: are too many times, especially recently, where clip Kingsbury makes

1840
01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 1: a questionable call that might cost him their cost their

1841
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:40,080
Speaker 1: team the game, especially when they're in a good position

1842
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: to either you know, when they're leading, or a good

1843
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 1: position to come back and win. And I think that's

1844
01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:47,040
Speaker 1: starting to get on some fans nerves. What about the

1845
01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 1: weapons around Kyler who's playing well? Who do they really

1846
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 1: need to have good game in order to give him

1847
01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:57,760
Speaker 1: the help that you know, you're obviously saying that he needs. Yeah,

1848
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 1: they really need to get DeAndre Hopkins involved early, you know,

1849
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, he didn't have a catch in the

1850
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,599
Speaker 1: first half, and I think that really kind of had

1851
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:09,640
Speaker 1: a major impact on not just the tone, you know,

1852
01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 1: of the offense, but kind of not just a production,

1853
01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 1: but kind of the tempo. You know. But the problem

1854
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: with that is having DeAndre Hopkins on the field is

1855
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 1: still a great device to get other guys open because

1856
01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 1: too many defenders, I guess defensive coordinators and a game

1857
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:31,560
Speaker 1: plan for DeAndre Hopkins always have to be aware of

1858
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:33,760
Speaker 1: where he is, you know, on every play. So maybe

1859
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:35,800
Speaker 1: he's as a decoy, but I think at some point

1860
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:37,599
Speaker 1: you do need to get him involved, you know, because

1861
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:39,720
Speaker 1: I think after a while, if he's not being looked at,

1862
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 1: if he's not being targeted. The defense starts to realize, well,

1863
01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 1: maybe he's not getting in the vall this, you know,

1864
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:46,800
Speaker 1: for a little while, we're gonna start to cheat over

1865
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 1: to Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk and those guys, and

1866
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:52,880
Speaker 1: maybe we can spend a little more time spying on

1867
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,880
Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray. But the second you get DeAndre Hopkins involved,

1868
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:57,800
Speaker 1: it changes an entire game plan for a defense because

1869
01:42:57,840 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 1: now you have to realize you need to pick up

1870
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 1: one of the league's best receivers, if not the league's

1871
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: best receiver at all times, because he is one snap

1872
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:08,519
Speaker 1: away from going, you know, for a touchdown or making

1873
01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:10,719
Speaker 1: incredible play that all of a sudden has in Cardinals

1874
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 1: in scoring positions. So he's been the biggest factor. We

1875
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:17,880
Speaker 1: don't know if Kenyan Drake's playing it, but if he's back,

1876
01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 1: he needs to get going early and often. He needs

1877
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,120
Speaker 1: to be used more out of the run, out in

1878
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,840
Speaker 1: the passing game, out of the backfield. And then I

1879
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 1: think a guy that Christian Kirk could be a huge

1880
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 1: weapon if they can utilize his speed, because I think

1881
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 1: too many teams underestimate just how fast Christian Kirk is.

1882
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: So if he gets a step, he's gone and with

1883
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's arm. I mean that that connection has been

1884
01:43:38,439 --> 01:43:40,800
Speaker 1: one of the Cardinals I've liked all season. Has much

1885
01:43:40,840 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 1: been made of Hopkins storming off the field last week,

1886
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean we saw reports to him kicking the ten

1887
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 1: yard line marker and Larry Fitzgerald trying to follow him

1888
01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 1: to try to say, hey, let's cool off here. I mean,

1889
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 1: anything made of that or was that just exasperation in

1890
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:58,080
Speaker 1: the moment at the end of a football game that

1891
01:43:58,200 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: they felt they should have won. Yeah, that was actually

1892
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:04,559
Speaker 1: um my report, um And it wasn't Larry trying to

1893
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:06,479
Speaker 1: calm him down. It was Larry leaving the field as well.

1894
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:08,720
Speaker 1: And I think it was just exasperation. I mean, that

1895
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 1: was a game that Cardinals needed pretty badly because if

1896
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:12,920
Speaker 1: they had won that game, they're in first place, not

1897
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 1: just in the NFC West, they're in first place in

1898
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:18,200
Speaker 1: the entire NFCUM And obviously that game, you know, they

1899
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:22,200
Speaker 1: almost blew it earlier than they did blow it. Um. Obviously,

1900
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:23,640
Speaker 1: it was a game that they that they thought they

1901
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 1: had and they should have won that game multiple times.

1902
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,360
Speaker 1: But it was inges this frustration, you know, especially for

1903
01:44:29,439 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 1: a guy who says has talented as DeAndre Hopkins not

1904
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:34,680
Speaker 1: to get targeted in the first half. I think he

1905
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 1: finished with thirty yards on three catches. That's not a

1906
01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:41,080
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins sue game, and I think he was. It's frustrated,

1907
01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:43,720
Speaker 1: and that's that's what happens when he lose in this league. Yeah,

1908
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 1: it's interesting because the Cardinals before the season started, we

1909
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:49,519
Speaker 1: all thought that the NFC West would probably be the

1910
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:51,880
Speaker 1: most competitive division in football. Do you think it's lived

1911
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 1: up to those billings? And if it has, it does

1912
01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:56,559
Speaker 1: say something about the Cardinals that they're on top of it.

1913
01:44:57,479 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 1: We're almost I think obviously the forty nine ers have

1914
01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:03,799
Speaker 1: fallen off the pace simply because of how many injuries

1915
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:08,680
Speaker 1: they've had. The Rams they're they're they're good, They're not great. Um.

1916
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:12,840
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Arizona has already beat the Seahawks once. Um,

1917
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:15,680
Speaker 1: they face them again on a short week after this

1918
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,639
Speaker 1: weekend's game. But I think it's lived up to the hype.

1919
01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:22,480
Speaker 1: Is the best division of football. There's four very good quarterbacks,

1920
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:24,960
Speaker 1: I think, two great quarterbacks, a lots of good receivers,

1921
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 1: great defenses. Um, it does say something that the Cardinals

1922
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:29,920
Speaker 1: could have been on top and could be on top

1923
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:32,679
Speaker 1: if they beat Seattle on Thursday night on National TV

1924
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 1: in Seattle. It just shows you that this this team

1925
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 1: has come a long way. You know, a lot of

1926
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:39,880
Speaker 1: people wanted to consider this a rebuilding years on top

1927
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:41,960
Speaker 1: of last year's rebuilding year. But I think the second

1928
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 1: that DeAndre Hopkins arrived in Arizona, that rebuild is over.

1929
01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 1: You are ready to go chase a playoff spot and

1930
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: possibly a run into January with a guy like DeAndre

1931
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 1: Hopkins catching passes from Kyler Murray. So I think that

1932
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:58,559
Speaker 1: this division is still the best in the league. I think,

1933
01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of talk that there might

1934
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: be three teams from this division in the playoffs. I

1935
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:05,200
Speaker 1: think it's a lot like the SEC in college football.

1936
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna beat up on each other at some point

1937
01:46:07,200 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 1: and they're going to hand losses to each other. So

1938
01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 1: that might not happen, but I do think it's going

1939
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 1: to be at least for sure a two team. There

1940
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,639
Speaker 1: are two teams from the Western of the playoffs. Jordan Phillips,

1941
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, being a former Bill is a player that

1942
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 1: Bill's fans still have interest in, So how would you

1943
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 1: characterize his season? Those far in a Cardinals uniform and

1944
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:29,839
Speaker 1: what is the likelihood of him being available on Sunday.

1945
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 1: A hamstring injury is not an easy injury to come

1946
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 1: back from for a three hundred and forty pound man.

1947
01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:37,519
Speaker 1: It's not. It's definitely not. But I think um, I

1948
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 1: think he should last week. You know, he's on the

1949
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 1: injury port leading to the the last week's seam and he

1950
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 1: did play, so as of now, I would expect him

1951
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:47,400
Speaker 1: to be out there, but he's been. He's been a

1952
01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:49,840
Speaker 1: major addition for this defense. You know, the Cardinals came

1953
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 1: into this season really needing to find a rhythm and

1954
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 1: find a groove with their defense. Last year, their defense

1955
01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:59,680
Speaker 1: was awful and a lot of that came from the

1956
01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:01,559
Speaker 1: fact that they didn't have a lot of push up front.

1957
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:05,639
Speaker 1: They lost two defensive tackles in the twenty nineteen training

1958
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:08,240
Speaker 1: camp didn't replace them, so they didn't really get that

1959
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:10,599
Speaker 1: push up the middle, and that means guys like Chandler

1960
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:13,920
Speaker 1: Jones have to work even harder on the outside. You know,

1961
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,840
Speaker 1: he finished with nineteen sacks. Obviously this year he got

1962
01:47:16,920 --> 01:47:18,719
Speaker 1: hurt after a few games, so he's not he hasn't

1963
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:24,640
Speaker 1: been around, But the Cardinals now by adding Jordan in

1964
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:27,640
Speaker 1: the off season, they added someone that can give them instantly.

1965
01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:30,680
Speaker 1: They can give them that push up the middle that

1966
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:32,439
Speaker 1: they need and he and he's been able to do

1967
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 1: that and the defense they added to all the pass

1968
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 1: rushers on the edge. But Jordan Phillips has really kind

1969
01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 1: of been um, I don't want to call him the glue,

1970
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 1: but he's really been kind of the piece that they

1971
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 1: were missing last year and he's lived up to the

1972
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 1: hype so far. How has Cliff Kingsbury handled the success

1973
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 1: the team's had so far, Like, as you said, they

1974
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 1: were one game away from being the top seed in

1975
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 1: the NFC for at least for a week. How has

1976
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 1: he handled that and how's the team handled it? He

1977
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 1: has He doesn't let anything get to him to make

1978
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 1: him get too high or too low. Right. He's very

1979
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 1: even keeled. He takes a lot of blame, maybe too

1980
01:48:08,400 --> 01:48:12,240
Speaker 1: much blame for miss plays, bad play calls, stuff like that,

1981
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 1: and some of it's rightfully so. Some of his play

1982
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 1: calling has not been very good. But he's not one

1983
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:20,479
Speaker 1: of these guys that's gonna sit there and say, you

1984
01:48:20,479 --> 01:48:22,680
Speaker 1: know what, we deserve to be here. It's always we

1985
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 1: gotta do better, you know, typical coach speak, and a

1986
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 1: team in general, they understand what they're playing for. They

1987
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 1: understand just how tough this division of this conference can be.

1988
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 1: So they knew how big of a how big of

1989
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:36,240
Speaker 1: a loss last week was and what that could do

1990
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:38,639
Speaker 1: to them. And I think they understand that this game

1991
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 1: and next next week against the Seahawks, this they're essentially

1992
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:45,760
Speaker 1: playing for their playoff future, because sitting at five and three,

1993
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:47,800
Speaker 1: you lose to the Bills, you're five and four. If

1994
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:50,880
Speaker 1: you lose to the to the Seahawks, you're saying at

1995
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 1: five and five a six games left, that's not something

1996
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 1: that might be easy enough. You might be you might

1997
01:48:56,120 --> 01:49:00,040
Speaker 1: not be able to overcome that against the type of

1998
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 1: though they have left with so many NFC West games

1999
01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:04,600
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, so they understand what kind of

2000
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 1: situation they're in. They don't want to get too excited

2001
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 1: because they still have so much football laughing against so

2002
01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:13,759
Speaker 1: many good teams. So I think that they are acutely

2003
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:16,000
Speaker 1: aware of what they've done this year compared to last year.

2004
01:49:16,120 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 1: They've already tied their wind mark for twenty nineteen, and

2005
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:21,800
Speaker 1: I think they are acutely aware of what's that stake

2006
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 1: going forward? What do you think given what you I

2007
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:29,000
Speaker 1: know that Cliff Kingsbury has media accessibility all be it

2008
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:31,639
Speaker 1: probably remote, just like Sean McDermott does. And the players

2009
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 1: as well. What have you gleaned from them about what

2010
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 1: they think about the Buffalo Bills and the AFC East

2011
01:49:36,920 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 1: coming to their body? What do they think about what

2012
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:41,840
Speaker 1: do they see in this team that's going to give

2013
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 1: them problems from what's their perception? And also what do

2014
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 1: you think the perception of Arizona fans are of the

2015
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:49,720
Speaker 1: Bills who are coming out there this weekend? You know,

2016
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:53,880
Speaker 1: I think what the Bills did Sunday to the Seahawks

2017
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:57,920
Speaker 1: definitely called this team's attention. They know how hard it

2018
01:49:58,000 --> 01:49:59,479
Speaker 1: is to beat that team, They know how good that

2019
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:01,680
Speaker 1: team is. So for the for the Bills to do

2020
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:04,120
Speaker 1: what they did to Seattle, I think that kind of

2021
01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:06,919
Speaker 1: made everyone stop in their tracks a little bit and say, Okay,

2022
01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 1: we we can't look past this this team, this game

2023
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 1: to get to Seattle again, we need to take care

2024
01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:17,080
Speaker 1: of business this week. Um. You know, I think when Ease,

2025
01:50:17,240 --> 01:50:20,000
Speaker 1: when teams or when the Cardinals look at this Bills team,

2026
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:24,559
Speaker 1: they see a quarterback that's kind of similar with Carler.

2027
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:27,840
Speaker 1: Murray just happens to be sign efficicently bigger. So from

2028
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,320
Speaker 1: that standpoint, I think this defense is gonna be prepared.

2029
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:33,840
Speaker 1: I think they you know, obviously very um familiar with

2030
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 1: John Brown. They are familiar with Gigs from all the

2031
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:39,680
Speaker 1: time he's spent in the NFC. So I think that

2032
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of areas to which the Cardinals excuse me, um,

2033
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 1: are familiar. But they they have a tremendous amount from

2034
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:51,200
Speaker 1: what they've said, they've they've they have a tregendous amount

2035
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 1: of respect for this this Bills team. You know, a

2036
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: lot of it's based on what they did last week

2037
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:57,800
Speaker 1: and then finally last one for me, Josh and thanks

2038
01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:00,679
Speaker 1: for the time. UM. I saw also that are Sweezy

2039
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 1: came off. I are this week? Are we expecting him

2040
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:06,000
Speaker 1: to slide right back into a starting right guard spot?

2041
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:08,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Justin Murray popped up on the

2042
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:13,360
Speaker 1: injury report too. What are we anticipating there? That's what

2043
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 1: I would anticipate, unless they're going to eat him back

2044
01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:19,040
Speaker 1: and get them ready for it next week against Seattle.

2045
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:22,160
Speaker 1: But now that I would think that would be the

2046
01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:24,360
Speaker 1: plan to get that offensive line back to you know,

2047
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 1: it's it's full capacity. Josh. Thanks, it's great talking to you.

2048
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate your time. Yeah, thanks for having me, all right.

2049
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:35,960
Speaker 1: ESPN coms Josh Winefizz covers the Cardinals for them bringing

2050
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:37,800
Speaker 1: us up to speed on that said, Jordan Phillips has

2051
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:41,200
Speaker 1: had a pretty nice season for that, and that's not surprising.

2052
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:44,400
Speaker 1: They needed an anchor in the middle. And I think

2053
01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:47,759
Speaker 1: people don't realize, you know, they see how athletic Phillips

2054
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:49,760
Speaker 1: is out on the field, and you don't think for

2055
01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:51,599
Speaker 1: a second, well, there's no way this guy is three

2056
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pounds. But he is. Yeah, he's a

2057
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 1: good place. He's a huge man. He's gifted and and

2058
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 1: you know they they should expect that from Jordan Phillips because,

2059
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, unlike the build they're paying him. They're paying

2060
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:05,960
Speaker 1: him a really good luck ten million a year, right,

2061
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:08,880
Speaker 1: they're paying him a really good buck. And if you

2062
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:11,080
Speaker 1: get if you get value out of that contract, yeah,

2063
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:12,840
Speaker 1: you're ahead of the game. That's that's a big one.

2064
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 1: But they need him to take a lot of snaps

2065
01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 1: and they need him to play very well and be

2066
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:18,960
Speaker 1: an anchor in there. But they have some questions in

2067
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 1: the secondary. I don't think they're injury questions more than

2068
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,960
Speaker 1: anything else. Drake Kirkpatrick is still dealing with some stuff.

2069
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:28,719
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker has got the groin injury, which even Josh

2070
01:52:28,720 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 1: said is not an easy one to come back from,

2071
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:32,880
Speaker 1: especially you know when you're playing it back in the

2072
01:52:32,920 --> 01:52:35,280
Speaker 1: secondary and you're flipping your hips a lot. And then

2073
01:52:35,360 --> 01:52:39,680
Speaker 1: Deonte Thompson, their others starting safety, popped up on the

2074
01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:43,479
Speaker 1: injury report. So because even Kevin Peterson, Patrick Peterson's backup,

2075
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:46,000
Speaker 1: was in the game last week quite a bit, they

2076
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:48,760
Speaker 1: guardeck all these guys. I mean they it was all

2077
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:50,439
Speaker 1: hands on deck a little bit. They got in the

2078
01:52:50,439 --> 01:52:52,479
Speaker 1: same boat last weekend that the Bills got with their

2079
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 1: offensive line when every single guy that was active was

2080
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 1: on the field playing. So it was like that in

2081
01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 1: the secondary for the Cardinals against the Dolphins last week.

2082
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:04,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think, like we said earlier in the show, Steve,

2083
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:08,200
Speaker 1: this could very well be a battle of attrition, depending

2084
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:10,800
Speaker 1: on who can get healthier by the end of the

2085
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,640
Speaker 1: week number one, and then who can get through the

2086
01:53:13,680 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: game number two. I mean, we're hearing encouraging things on

2087
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 1: the part of the Bills with respect to their offensive line.

2088
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:22,439
Speaker 1: You know, you've got John Feliciano back at practice after

2089
01:53:22,479 --> 01:53:26,040
Speaker 1: dealing with a back issue yesterday. You've got Cody Ford

2090
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:28,320
Speaker 1: back at practice after leaving last week's game with an

2091
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:31,639
Speaker 1: ankle injury. And you've got Brian Winters back practicing after

2092
01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 1: he left the game for a brief period of time

2093
01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 1: last week. And they're all back in the mix at

2094
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:39,679
Speaker 1: least today to what capacity will learn later this afternoon

2095
01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:43,120
Speaker 1: when the Thursday injury report comes out. But are they

2096
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 1: good to start, how long can they go? How much

2097
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 1: risk are they at for re injury? You know, all

2098
01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 1: of these things come into play and determine you know,

2099
01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:57,200
Speaker 1: who's up and who's down in a given game, and

2100
01:53:57,400 --> 01:53:59,439
Speaker 1: how effective you can be as an offense or a

2101
01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 1: defense comes down. Simply put, it's the combination for each

2102
01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:05,040
Speaker 1: team that's gonna win. It is how healthy they are

2103
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:07,040
Speaker 1: and how deep they are at that position that they're

2104
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 1: not healthy. The healthiest and deepest team or combination thereof

2105
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: is going to win the game. I think we're yeah,

2106
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:17,320
Speaker 1: we week ten of the NFL season. That's where we live.

2107
01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 1: It is indeed, because I mean, these injury lists keep

2108
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:24,280
Speaker 1: getting longer and longer and you understand why. And the

2109
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 1: expanded practice squads are certainly helping a lot of teams

2110
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:29,840
Speaker 1: this year, and big, big way. At least they can

2111
01:54:29,960 --> 01:54:32,360
Speaker 1: have a guy like Prince Amukamara on your practice squad.

2112
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean, at least you can get healthy bodies out

2113
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:37,600
Speaker 1: there and you don't have guys limping around or stuthing

2114
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:38,920
Speaker 1: like that. You can get a guy out there who

2115
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:40,800
Speaker 1: can can really compete. And I think that's raised the

2116
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:43,480
Speaker 1: level of play around the league, even though even if

2117
01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:46,840
Speaker 1: it hasn't statistically kept offenses off the board. At least

2118
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:50,320
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators can have enough healthy bodies that they don't

2119
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:55,240
Speaker 1: get into a positional emergency early in the third quarter. Yeah,

2120
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 1: I just I just wonder how they're gonna fit it

2121
01:54:58,240 --> 01:55:01,000
Speaker 1: all together in that cardinal secondary. I mean, we'll know

2122
01:55:01,120 --> 01:55:03,480
Speaker 1: more obviously by the time we get to Friday, to

2123
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:07,160
Speaker 1: see who's questionable, who's doubtful, who's out problem is playing

2124
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 1: As as unsure as that makes the coaching staff about

2125
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:13,720
Speaker 1: their own secondary, josh Aden doesn't know who he's going

2126
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:15,160
Speaker 1: to be looking at. Either. It's not like he can

2127
01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:17,680
Speaker 1: go out and watch film of these guys play or

2128
01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 1: what the coaching staff on the side of the Cardinals

2129
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 1: will ask their secondary to play before this, you know,

2130
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:26,560
Speaker 1: so it's everybody walks in with a blindfold on, and

2131
01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:29,000
Speaker 1: as you'd take the blindfold, I'm says, here we go.

2132
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 1: You know. The one interesting thing that I heard Josh

2133
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:34,560
Speaker 1: mentioned when he was on with US was, you know,

2134
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:38,360
Speaker 1: they signed Jonathan Joseph to the active roster, but they

2135
01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:41,440
Speaker 1: have Prince and Mukamara there longer on the practice squad. Now,

2136
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:44,880
Speaker 1: why would you sign Jonathan Joseph to your active roster

2137
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:48,840
Speaker 1: if your better option is to elevate Prince and Mukamara

2138
01:55:48,840 --> 01:55:50,960
Speaker 1: And now you don't have to create a roster spot

2139
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:54,000
Speaker 1: by bringing a Mukamara up. But that was just that

2140
01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:56,280
Speaker 1: was peculiar to me. You know, you've had a Mukamara

2141
01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 1: there all season. Why are you getting Joseph? I mean,

2142
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:02,560
Speaker 1: I just unless they want Joseph to play safety, which

2143
01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:05,000
Speaker 1: he did do a little bit of his last years

2144
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:07,920
Speaker 1: in Houston, he wasn't a corner anymore. So I wonder

2145
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:10,800
Speaker 1: if they're more worried about the safety injuries, and that's

2146
01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:13,760
Speaker 1: why they signed Joseph as opposed to the corner injuries,

2147
01:56:13,800 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 1: knowing they can bring a Mukamara up to play corner

2148
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:19,560
Speaker 1: maybe and maybe because you got to think too that

2149
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:21,760
Speaker 1: there are guys out their safeties out there available that

2150
01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 1: are better safeties than than Joseph would be. Having just

2151
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:28,880
Speaker 1: played smattering of snaps like that, and it maybe they

2152
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:31,360
Speaker 1: want Joseph because he could play both, you know what

2153
01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, but the question still remains. And like

2154
01:56:35,600 --> 01:56:41,560
Speaker 1: you said, what's wrong with Prince almac Mura, Maybe nothing.

2155
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:44,440
Speaker 1: He's a veteran, he's not what he used to be,

2156
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 1: but neither's Joseph. Well, right right, That's why I'm thinking

2157
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:52,560
Speaker 1: it might be more for his safety, safety depth than

2158
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 1: insurance than anything that in and of itself puts you

2159
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 1: in the spot where it's like how they're going to

2160
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:01,440
Speaker 1: play if you're Bill's coaching steps, like how they gonna

2161
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:05,080
Speaker 1: play us? All right, there's some uncertainty there because you

2162
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 1: don't know what the combinations are gonna pr I'm they

2163
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna ask Joseph to play safety and then

2164
01:57:09,400 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 1: bring him down and man us up once in a

2165
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 1: while because he's a corner quality safety. Well, Buddha Baker

2166
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:15,520
Speaker 1: can do the same thing. He can come down and

2167
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:19,760
Speaker 1: cover a slot guy. So although he's injured. Yeah, and

2168
01:57:19,800 --> 01:57:21,880
Speaker 1: that's another thing. Are they gonna do that and then

2169
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 1: have Joseph and backup to do the exact same thing.

2170
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. So that's the thing that well, that's

2171
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:32,920
Speaker 1: the ken when you go into a game. Brian Dable,

2172
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:35,920
Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier and all the rest of these guys and

2173
01:57:35,960 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 1: Sean mcgran they think they got an idea what those

2174
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:40,880
Speaker 1: guys are gonna do, how they're gonna say it, how

2175
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:43,200
Speaker 1: they've played other positions, how they played other team. Now

2176
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 1: you don't, you have none of that. That's a whole

2177
01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:49,839
Speaker 1: level of preparation that is out the window. Yeah, it's worthless.

2178
01:57:49,880 --> 01:57:52,520
Speaker 1: But that's why we hear Dable talk all the time

2179
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:54,760
Speaker 1: about in game adjustments. You got to kind of use

2180
01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:57,360
Speaker 1: the game to call plays in the game. You know.

2181
01:57:57,480 --> 01:57:59,440
Speaker 1: It's like use the test to take the test kind

2182
01:57:59,480 --> 01:58:01,200
Speaker 1: of thing, like Okay, what do we got here on

2183
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:05,080
Speaker 1: this first couple of series. Okay, all right, well we're

2184
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna go do this now because I think this is

2185
01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 1: where they're headed with how they're gonna a line people,

2186
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:11,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like use the test to

2187
01:58:11,080 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 1: take the test, and Dable has done a good job

2188
01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:17,280
Speaker 1: of that. So is Leslie Frazier for that matter. You know,

2189
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:19,560
Speaker 1: first and second quarter have been very good quarters for

2190
01:58:19,560 --> 01:58:22,120
Speaker 1: the Bills this season. It's that dank third quarter coming

2191
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 1: out of the locker room that they still haven't figured out.

2192
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:27,160
Speaker 1: All right, we have to take a break, but when

2193
01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:30,720
Speaker 1: we return, we're gonna revisit the tweet sheet to get

2194
01:58:30,720 --> 01:58:32,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts on what you're keeping your eye on for

2195
01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:35,120
Speaker 1: Sunday's game between the Bills and Cardinals, and we may

2196
01:58:35,160 --> 01:58:38,440
Speaker 1: even get to a little true false NFL True false

2197
01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 1: break time here back in a moment on One Bill's Line,

2198
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, final

2199
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 1: half hour of a Thursday edition of One Bill's Live

2200
01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:59,400
Speaker 1: First Round. Steve Tasper with you as we are talking

2201
01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:01,680
Speaker 1: about what you're keeping your eye on in the Sunday's

2202
01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 1: game between the Cards and Bills, and we go back

2203
01:59:04,400 --> 01:59:06,000
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet, which is brought to you by

2204
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:08,960
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

2205
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:12,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and we're up to Andrew on the tweet

2206
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 1: chet who says to me, this is the same as

2207
01:59:15,720 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 1: last week. Arizona's offense is going to get theirs. It'll

2208
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:22,680
Speaker 1: be up to the Bills offense, keep up the momentum

2209
01:59:22,680 --> 01:59:26,000
Speaker 1: from Seattle and keep scoring points. So yet another person

2210
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:30,640
Speaker 1: who thinks we're in for another shootout here, And yeah,

2211
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:36,120
Speaker 1: Arizona was. They've been a little leaky defensively to say

2212
01:59:36,160 --> 01:59:38,680
Speaker 1: the least. Yeah, And you can say what you want.

2213
01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:40,200
Speaker 1: I want. I want to go back and look at

2214
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:44,440
Speaker 1: it again. Here the schedule last week, and and look

2215
01:59:44,520 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: at the cart the Dolphins, I mean, they hung it

2216
01:59:50,360 --> 01:59:55,000
Speaker 1: up on them. They the game that I was watching,

2217
01:59:55,440 --> 01:59:58,040
Speaker 1: they scored thirty one, thirty four points on these guys.

2218
01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:01,240
Speaker 1: What the rookie quarterback didn't throw for two hundred yards. Now,

2219
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:03,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins did get a pick six on them, which

2220
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:08,840
Speaker 1: obviously helps, But man, I don't know. I just don't

2221
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:10,960
Speaker 1: know that the Dolphins offense is one that should be

2222
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 1: putting up thirty points. And you know, you look at

2223
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: the stats for the season, and they're a little misleading.

2224
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:18,919
Speaker 1: For the Cardinals, they're eighth in the league and points allowed,

2225
02:00:19,520 --> 02:00:21,720
Speaker 1: but that's due mainly to the fact that they gave

2226
02:00:21,800 --> 02:00:24,240
Speaker 1: up ten points to the Jets and only ten points

2227
02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:30,320
Speaker 1: to Dallas their first week without Dak Prescott. So so,

2228
02:00:31,840 --> 02:00:34,760
Speaker 1: but the three games aside from this. So three of

2229
02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:37,160
Speaker 1: their last two of their last five games, they gave

2230
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:40,480
Speaker 1: up ten points each Washington. Three of their last five

2231
02:00:40,560 --> 02:00:43,800
Speaker 1: they gave up thirty plus and they gave up fifteen

2232
02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:48,960
Speaker 1: to Washington. Yeah, so the NFC East and Week two. Yeah,

2233
02:00:49,040 --> 02:00:52,600
Speaker 1: so that's why their number is so low. Every their

2234
02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:56,120
Speaker 1: last three games, besides those Jets in Dallas games where

2235
02:00:56,120 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 1: they only gave up ten in each, they gave up

2236
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:02,120
Speaker 1: thirty one and lost, gave up thirty four and one

2237
02:01:02,160 --> 02:01:05,520
Speaker 1: in overtime, and gave up thirty four and lost. So

2238
02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:08,640
Speaker 1: you can't tell me that this Arizona defense is anywhere

2239
02:01:08,680 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 1: near a consistent product at all. So I think they

2240
02:01:11,800 --> 02:01:14,440
Speaker 1: can be had, and I think the Bills can put

2241
02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:18,280
Speaker 1: points up this week. Yeah, and some of it you can.

2242
02:01:18,440 --> 02:01:20,880
Speaker 1: You can hang on the injury bug, no question about it.

2243
02:01:21,240 --> 02:01:23,880
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think their offense has been

2244
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:26,080
Speaker 1: that nicked up. They're getting one of their offensive lineman

2245
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:29,400
Speaker 1: back in the lineup. Um yeah, sweezy. I mean, you know,

2246
02:01:29,480 --> 02:01:30,920
Speaker 1: you can look at the Bills and say, you know,

2247
02:01:30,960 --> 02:01:34,440
Speaker 1: they were without Levi Wallace, they were without Josh Norman,

2248
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:40,880
Speaker 1: they were without what Mitch Morris, Uh, they were without

2249
02:01:42,880 --> 02:01:45,280
Speaker 1: So I Dawson Knox has been out of the lineup

2250
02:01:45,320 --> 02:01:48,000
Speaker 1: for a month. Yeah, you can slice in any way

2251
02:01:48,040 --> 02:01:50,400
Speaker 1: you want. Yeah. I mean that every team's dealing with it,

2252
02:01:50,520 --> 02:01:55,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know, we'll see after last week's game.

2253
02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:57,760
Speaker 1: I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Bills

2254
02:01:57,760 --> 02:01:59,560
Speaker 1: fan who doesn't think, man, the Bills got a shot

2255
02:01:59,560 --> 02:02:02,040
Speaker 1: in this game. Oh yeah, certainly. Though. I don't think

2256
02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:04,400
Speaker 1: anybody's over there saying an we're gonna win, We're gonna

2257
02:02:04,400 --> 02:02:06,400
Speaker 1: win by double digits. No, I don't think anybody thinks

2258
02:02:06,400 --> 02:02:09,560
Speaker 1: it's in the bag. Yeah, Arizona was you know, this

2259
02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:12,720
Speaker 1: game last week there were three points away from being

2260
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:15,800
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the NFCA. Could you imagine

2261
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:18,360
Speaker 1: the game that most people feel they should have won? Right,

2262
02:02:18,800 --> 02:02:21,400
Speaker 1: So think about that. The Bills are going to walk

2263
02:02:21,440 --> 02:02:24,280
Speaker 1: into Arizona, and if that game had gone differently last week,

2264
02:02:24,320 --> 02:02:26,400
Speaker 1: you're walking into the number one seed in the conference

2265
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:29,680
Speaker 1: on the other conference, coming from the most competitive division

2266
02:02:29,680 --> 02:02:33,200
Speaker 1: in that other conference. That's that's a big that's a

2267
02:02:33,240 --> 02:02:36,080
Speaker 1: big step. That's a big step up. And we'll see.

2268
02:02:36,160 --> 02:02:37,840
Speaker 1: People thought last week was going to be a step

2269
02:02:37,880 --> 02:02:40,680
Speaker 1: up in class and it was, and it was. It

2270
02:02:40,800 --> 02:02:43,440
Speaker 1: was and they weathered that and came out with a win.

2271
02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:45,480
Speaker 1: So it might be a little harder on the road.

2272
02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:48,760
Speaker 1: They played their most productive defensive game of the year. Helped.

2273
02:02:49,040 --> 02:02:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, with the four force turnovers, that's big. It

2274
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:55,200
Speaker 1: may take an effort like that to keep these guys

2275
02:02:55,240 --> 02:02:58,320
Speaker 1: off the scoreboard to that extent, to the extent where

2276
02:02:58,320 --> 02:03:01,880
Speaker 1: you can score more points than them, we'll see and

2277
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:06,720
Speaker 1: they are And Josh Weinfuss said this, and he was right.

2278
02:03:07,760 --> 02:03:11,240
Speaker 1: When you see an offense of the type you're gonna

2279
02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:13,680
Speaker 1: face on Sunday every week in your own practices, when

2280
02:03:13,720 --> 02:03:16,600
Speaker 1: they get a guy who's an athletic quarterback like Kyler Murray,

2281
02:03:16,640 --> 02:03:19,680
Speaker 1: when they get a good receiving corps like Hopkins and

2282
02:03:19,800 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and Kirk, when you see it on the other

2283
02:03:23,120 --> 02:03:28,840
Speaker 1: side of the field as an opponent, it doesn't shock you.

2284
02:03:28,840 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 1: You know, you don't. You're not worried about going four

2285
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:34,000
Speaker 1: deep in the wide receiver spot. You've seen that happen.

2286
02:03:34,880 --> 02:03:37,120
Speaker 1: You've seen it, and you've experienced it every day in practice.

2287
02:03:37,120 --> 02:03:40,080
Speaker 1: You come in where it's it's not a big adjustment

2288
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:42,520
Speaker 1: for you. Certainly you got to play well, but it's like, Okay,

2289
02:03:42,520 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 1: I know I know what I've got to do in

2290
02:03:44,360 --> 02:03:46,800
Speaker 1: my spot here, and so I think Arizona is going

2291
02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 1: to get a huge benefit from that facing a team

2292
02:03:48,960 --> 02:03:51,720
Speaker 1: like Buffalo. From Chris on the tweet sheet, it would

2293
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:53,400
Speaker 1: be great if our offense can go out there and

2294
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:56,040
Speaker 1: put up forty plus points. Again, can Josh get another

2295
02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:59,240
Speaker 1: four hundred yards? I think it's a real good possibility.

2296
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, it should be an exciting game to watch

2297
02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:04,440
Speaker 1: Sunday air it out. Josh, go Bills. What do you

2298
02:04:04,480 --> 02:04:06,360
Speaker 1: think about that? You think you can get to four hundred?

2299
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's you don't have to jump through

2300
02:04:08,160 --> 02:04:11,080
Speaker 1: hoops to see it happening. If the Cardinals come in

2301
02:04:11,120 --> 02:04:14,720
Speaker 1: there nicked up defensively, and for instance, if Jordan Phillips

2302
02:04:14,760 --> 02:04:17,680
Speaker 1: isn't in the lineup or any of those corners, yeah

2303
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:21,720
Speaker 1: they got problems. They're gonna have problems, just like the

2304
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:25,600
Speaker 1: Bills would if Tradavious White and Levi Wallace were out

2305
02:04:26,240 --> 02:04:28,160
Speaker 1: and you you know what I mean, and Josh Norman

2306
02:04:28,280 --> 02:04:31,240
Speaker 1: was still gimpy, right, so you can see how your

2307
02:04:31,240 --> 02:04:33,560
Speaker 1: team gets overmanned. You go in there and can you

2308
02:04:33,600 --> 02:04:36,520
Speaker 1: imagine listen, DeAndre Hopkins. I've said I there were times

2309
02:04:36,600 --> 02:04:39,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a special player. He's the most effective

2310
02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:41,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the league. His hands are huge. I

2311
02:04:41,840 --> 02:04:45,440
Speaker 1: think his hands like thumb to pinky, they're almost eleven inches.

2312
02:04:45,720 --> 02:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Just think about that. Yeah, like you could almost put

2313
02:04:47,520 --> 02:04:50,640
Speaker 1: a ruler from his thumb to his pinky, like a

2314
02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:52,920
Speaker 1: twelve inch ruler you had in grade school. Doesn't drop it,

2315
02:04:53,280 --> 02:04:55,040
Speaker 1: that's crazy. And he can go up and get it,

2316
02:04:55,120 --> 02:04:59,760
Speaker 1: and he's open when he's not open, and Kyler Murray's

2317
02:04:59,760 --> 02:05:04,520
Speaker 1: probably learned that, although who doesn't throw the ball to

2318
02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:08,720
Speaker 1: him in a whole half? Yeah? That that now. I

2319
02:05:08,840 --> 02:05:11,480
Speaker 1: know that A lot was made of the effort that

2320
02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Xavi and Howard did in playing against Hopkins. He apparently

2321
02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:17,760
Speaker 1: he did a really good job. But like you said,

2322
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:21,080
Speaker 1: even when he's when he's covered, he can make a play.

2323
02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:25,440
Speaker 1: So let the guy make a play for you, right, Yeah, yeah,

2324
02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:28,000
Speaker 1: forced the guy to defend him. Yeah, I mean he

2325
02:05:28,040 --> 02:05:31,680
Speaker 1: didn't even give him a targets that. I can't even

2326
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:34,880
Speaker 1: believe that happened. That's crazy, crazy and believe that happened.

2327
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:40,360
Speaker 1: Uh from Nick the cards secondary. As good as Alan

2328
02:05:40,480 --> 02:05:42,480
Speaker 1: was against Seattle, the Seahawks seemed to play a lot

2329
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:44,880
Speaker 1: of man coverage like we faced in weeks one through four.

2330
02:05:45,160 --> 02:05:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm worried Arizona we'll go back to the zone defense

2331
02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:50,240
Speaker 1: that slowed our passing game down after week four. So

2332
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:52,800
Speaker 1: I hope we're ready for a tougher matchup, and if

2333
02:05:52,800 --> 02:05:56,040
Speaker 1: they're nicked up, the likelihood increases that they're going to

2334
02:05:56,120 --> 02:05:58,400
Speaker 1: play them that way. Yeah, nobody wants to turn their

2335
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:01,120
Speaker 1: back on Josh, have their dbs running down the field

2336
02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:03,680
Speaker 1: looking at wide receivers with Josh running up behind him

2337
02:06:03,720 --> 02:06:05,800
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hand. Teams aren't going to

2338
02:06:05,880 --> 02:06:10,840
Speaker 1: do that anymore. Plus, when with Cole Beasley, digs, John

2339
02:06:10,880 --> 02:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Brown and you know Devin Singletary, Zach Moss and Gabriel Davis,

2340
02:06:16,800 --> 02:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball, when they see man and anticipate man,

2341
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 1: they start running those crossing routes and Josh carves them up.

2342
02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:25,840
Speaker 1: It just carves them up. They got guys they met open,

2343
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:28,280
Speaker 1: They're just they just call the right plays and these

2344
02:06:28,280 --> 02:06:30,280
Speaker 1: guys are running all over the field cross and the

2345
02:06:30,280 --> 02:06:34,280
Speaker 1: defenders are bumping into each other. It's a nightmare form.

2346
02:06:34,880 --> 02:06:37,200
Speaker 1: Certainly there are teams who can do that, and they'll

2347
02:06:37,240 --> 02:06:38,960
Speaker 1: switch it up at the line of scrimmage and have

2348
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:43,720
Speaker 1: a better release defensively. Once the route concept starts to

2349
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:45,600
Speaker 1: take effect, they're not doing some of the stuff that

2350
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:49,840
Speaker 1: gives teams problems. But man oh man, the Bills are

2351
02:06:49,960 --> 02:06:53,280
Speaker 1: tough to play man against, and teams are finding that

2352
02:06:53,320 --> 02:06:54,960
Speaker 1: out now. If they come out and play zone and

2353
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:56,920
Speaker 1: they're backing out, they got seven guys in the box

2354
02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:58,760
Speaker 1: and the Bills start handing it off to Zach Moss

2355
02:06:58,760 --> 02:07:00,880
Speaker 1: and they're snapping off six yards runs and seven yard

2356
02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 1: runs and then snapping off a fifteen yard run. You

2357
02:07:03,720 --> 02:07:05,320
Speaker 1: got to force him out of it. See if they

2358
02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:07,520
Speaker 1: can man up against. But but that's what they're gonna

2359
02:07:07,520 --> 02:07:10,200
Speaker 1: force you to do. They're they're gonna dare you to

2360
02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:12,200
Speaker 1: run the football like the Bills have done it to

2361
02:07:12,240 --> 02:07:14,880
Speaker 1: other teams who can throw it from Billy on the

2362
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:19,720
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. Definitely need to see if we can contain Kyler.

2363
02:07:20,200 --> 02:07:22,640
Speaker 1: He's special. His feet go a million miles an hour

2364
02:07:22,880 --> 02:07:25,160
Speaker 1: and he can think just as quickly. We've got to

2365
02:07:25,160 --> 02:07:29,200
Speaker 1: get him and force him to make bad throws all

2366
02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:33,160
Speaker 1: day long. Now. I have seen him throw it away,

2367
02:07:34,200 --> 02:07:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, on occasion, not a lot. He's he's kind

2368
02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:40,280
Speaker 1: of a little like Josh when he was younger. He

2369
02:07:40,320 --> 02:07:42,640
Speaker 1: wants to make a play pretty badly, so he doesn't

2370
02:07:42,640 --> 02:07:46,040
Speaker 1: throw it away all that often. So can you force

2371
02:07:46,120 --> 02:07:49,240
Speaker 1: him into a bad throw? I think if Payer and Hide,

2372
02:07:49,280 --> 02:07:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, work their magic back there and disguising and

2373
02:07:52,320 --> 02:07:54,280
Speaker 1: almost lining up out of position at the snap of

2374
02:07:54,320 --> 02:07:57,120
Speaker 1: the football, they might be able to get him crossed

2375
02:07:57,200 --> 02:08:01,720
Speaker 1: up on something. And I do think that, you know,

2376
02:08:02,320 --> 02:08:07,320
Speaker 1: altering his internal clock with some well timed blitzes, just

2377
02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:09,600
Speaker 1: to get him thinking a little bit. You can't let

2378
02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:11,920
Speaker 1: him sit back there and he'll carve you up. I mean,

2379
02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:13,640
Speaker 1: I got a live arms, I told you. I think

2380
02:08:13,800 --> 02:08:15,720
Speaker 1: the key to getting him to do it is to

2381
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:18,200
Speaker 1: make him throw it, and make him throw it from

2382
02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:21,280
Speaker 1: the pocket. You got to keep him contained in the pocket.

2383
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it, what techniques you use.

2384
02:08:24,440 --> 02:08:27,200
Speaker 1: Certainly you don't want defenders flying past him because they'll

2385
02:08:27,240 --> 02:08:29,520
Speaker 1: just sidestep him and hang onto the football and he'll

2386
02:08:29,520 --> 02:08:31,680
Speaker 1: have more time. Then you got to get guys to

2387
02:08:31,720 --> 02:08:34,920
Speaker 1: collapse the pocket on him. And if a blitzer does

2388
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:38,760
Speaker 1: come free, you got to break down and make the

2389
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:42,360
Speaker 1: guy deal with you before he just breaks contain if

2390
02:08:42,360 --> 02:08:44,040
Speaker 1: he's looking at you and trying to force you, and

2391
02:08:44,080 --> 02:08:46,200
Speaker 1: even if he runs away from you. All the time

2392
02:08:46,240 --> 02:08:49,640
Speaker 1: he's doing all of this stuff dealing with your rush,

2393
02:08:49,680 --> 02:08:53,000
Speaker 1: he's not looking down the field, and that's that's a

2394
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:56,360
Speaker 1: plus for your defense. And every time he's dealing with you,

2395
02:08:56,520 --> 02:08:59,800
Speaker 1: it's also a spot where the other three rushers are

2396
02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:05,360
Speaker 1: or rushers are getting closer to him and closer to

2397
02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:08,000
Speaker 1: beating their guy. So that's the kind of the key

2398
02:09:08,120 --> 02:09:11,840
Speaker 1: for me. If you can get in there, get and

2399
02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:15,080
Speaker 1: just force him to make the throw on time and

2400
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:17,640
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of it or he's gonna go down.

2401
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:19,400
Speaker 1: And I don't mean go in there and get big

2402
02:09:19,480 --> 02:09:21,160
Speaker 1: hits on him. I mean just get a handful of

2403
02:09:21,240 --> 02:09:23,960
Speaker 1: jersey and tug him off balance, just tug him around

2404
02:09:24,200 --> 02:09:25,880
Speaker 1: so he thinks he's gonna go down. He has to

2405
02:09:25,880 --> 02:09:28,400
Speaker 1: cover the ball up and he won't throw it. That's

2406
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:29,920
Speaker 1: how you do it. You're not gonna get in there

2407
02:09:29,920 --> 02:09:34,000
Speaker 1: and get a big, clean up hit, you know, headshot

2408
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:35,480
Speaker 1: on him. You're not gonna put him down on the

2409
02:09:35,480 --> 02:09:36,960
Speaker 1: ground like that. All you need to do is get

2410
02:09:37,160 --> 02:09:40,080
Speaker 1: a handful of jersey and start pulling, and that's it.

2411
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:43,920
Speaker 1: That gives you a chance. So I think the way

2412
02:09:44,160 --> 02:09:46,880
Speaker 1: you have to sack quarterbacks in the league these days

2413
02:09:47,400 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 1: is way different than it was when Bruce and Cornelius

2414
02:09:50,600 --> 02:09:52,840
Speaker 1: were running around the backfield with you know, in the

2415
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:55,640
Speaker 1: sack exchange back in the eighties and you know all

2416
02:09:55,680 --> 02:09:58,680
Speaker 1: those guys. Now it's about getting your hands on the

2417
02:09:58,680 --> 02:10:01,360
Speaker 1: guy and hanging on. I would almost go for the

2418
02:10:01,360 --> 02:10:03,480
Speaker 1: ball to us. I mentioned earlier in the week, Tyler

2419
02:10:03,520 --> 02:10:05,760
Speaker 1: Murray's got small hands. I mean, he could throw the

2420
02:10:05,760 --> 02:10:08,640
Speaker 1: ball really well, but he's got small hands. So if

2421
02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:11,120
Speaker 1: he's got a waving out there like a loaf of

2422
02:10:11,120 --> 02:10:13,640
Speaker 1: bread in one hand, I'd be going for the ball

2423
02:10:13,680 --> 02:10:15,960
Speaker 1: all day long because it'll come out. And it came

2424
02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:20,200
Speaker 1: out a couple of weeks ago when he got some pressure,

2425
02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 1: so I'd be all about that. We have to take

2426
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:25,360
Speaker 1: a break. One more segment to go where we find

2427
02:10:25,400 --> 02:10:28,560
Speaker 1: out what have we learned from today's show? Coming your

2428
02:10:28,600 --> 02:10:31,000
Speaker 1: way next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Help,

2429
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:44,880
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio time for what have we learned?

2430
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2431
02:10:48,680 --> 02:10:52,360
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. And we didn't learn this

2432
02:10:52,440 --> 02:10:54,920
Speaker 1: necessarily on the show, Steve, but we know that Josh

2433
02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:57,840
Speaker 1: Allen was the AFC Offensive Player of the Week this week.

2434
02:10:58,560 --> 02:11:01,520
Speaker 1: Did you know he was also the FedEx Air NFL

2435
02:11:01,640 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Alan won for his impressive four

2436
02:11:04,440 --> 02:11:07,680
Speaker 1: hundred fifteen yard three touchdown performance in Week nine against Seattle.

2437
02:11:08,440 --> 02:11:12,440
Speaker 1: And what happens when a player wins, that is their

2438
02:11:12,480 --> 02:11:17,760
Speaker 1: local community benefits. So, with support from FedEx Direct Relief,

2439
02:11:18,080 --> 02:11:21,520
Speaker 1: will provide an emergency medical backpack to a local community

2440
02:11:21,560 --> 02:11:24,320
Speaker 1: health center in Buffalo. The backpack helps them to take

2441
02:11:24,320 --> 02:11:28,680
Speaker 1: care of five hundred people in the community. So everybody's

2442
02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:33,680
Speaker 1: donating to Children's Hospital this week to support Josh Allen

2443
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:36,080
Speaker 1: and the memory of his grandmother who passed over the weekend.

2444
02:11:36,120 --> 02:11:39,240
Speaker 1: And Josh's performance is already given back to the community

2445
02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:41,520
Speaker 1: in that way. How about that? Isn't that nice? Isn't

2446
02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:44,080
Speaker 1: that nice? It's so nice. It's nice to win an

2447
02:11:44,080 --> 02:11:47,280
Speaker 1: award and do some good. It's like Superman Josh Allen.

2448
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:49,880
Speaker 1: I wonder, well, I wonder if Josh is any more

2449
02:11:50,640 --> 02:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Not that it could be any more motivated, knowing the

2450
02:11:52,400 --> 02:11:54,960
Speaker 1: competitive fire he brings onto the field with him every week.

2451
02:11:55,040 --> 02:11:58,560
Speaker 1: But after seeing the community do that for you and

2452
02:11:58,640 --> 02:12:01,680
Speaker 1: your grandmother, do you think he's gonna come out like

2453
02:12:01,720 --> 02:12:04,280
Speaker 1: a house on fire on Sunday even more. You don't

2454
02:12:04,320 --> 02:12:06,440
Speaker 1: put a lid on it, man, Just relax. You don't

2455
02:12:06,480 --> 02:12:08,640
Speaker 1: have to do anything special. It's just be you. You know.

2456
02:12:08,840 --> 02:12:12,440
Speaker 1: That's the thing. And I get it. He's everybody's talking

2457
02:12:12,480 --> 02:12:14,560
Speaker 1: about and he's he and he probably does want to

2458
02:12:14,600 --> 02:12:16,760
Speaker 1: have a great game again. He probably does want to

2459
02:12:16,800 --> 02:12:18,760
Speaker 1: give back. I mean, if it's natural, and it's kind

2460
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:20,960
Speaker 1: of guy we've come to know and love him for being.

2461
02:12:21,760 --> 02:12:25,000
Speaker 1: But bro, just take a deep breath and just stay

2462
02:12:25,040 --> 02:12:27,520
Speaker 1: on the field. Just take the first down and just

2463
02:12:27,600 --> 02:12:29,840
Speaker 1: make the right decision, deliver the ball. You don't have to.

2464
02:12:30,160 --> 02:12:31,640
Speaker 1: You don't. I don't want to go back, don't have

2465
02:12:31,680 --> 02:12:34,240
Speaker 1: that hero ball mentality again. It's certainly a good sign

2466
02:12:34,320 --> 02:12:37,400
Speaker 1: that John Brown is back practicing again today, so too

2467
02:12:37,520 --> 02:12:41,520
Speaker 1: is Trudavious White. Those are all pluses. Josh Norman. It's

2468
02:12:41,560 --> 02:12:44,800
Speaker 1: second straight day of practicing the Bills. Arguably he could

2469
02:12:44,840 --> 02:12:48,680
Speaker 1: have one of their healthiest secondaries since Week four. Cody

2470
02:12:48,720 --> 02:12:51,120
Speaker 1: Ford back on the practice field, Mitch Morse again out

2471
02:12:51,120 --> 02:12:55,000
Speaker 1: of the percussion protocol. John Feliciano, I think back on

2472
02:12:55,040 --> 02:12:57,640
Speaker 1: the field after I've being out yesterday with a back problem.

2473
02:12:57,680 --> 02:12:59,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, the Bills have a chance to get healthy.

2474
02:12:59,760 --> 02:13:01,920
Speaker 1: So do the Arizona Cardinals that we've been talking about.

2475
02:13:02,320 --> 02:13:04,240
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see these two teams at their best, and

2476
02:13:04,560 --> 02:13:06,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of what we all want. Let's see how

2477
02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:07,480
Speaker 1: we measure up. It's going to be a fun game,

2478
02:13:07,520 --> 02:13:10,640
Speaker 1: I think. Gigantic Friday edition of One Bills Live as

2479
02:13:10,760 --> 02:13:14,280
Speaker 1: usual as we'll have a team report from the Cardinals,

2480
02:13:14,360 --> 02:13:18,360
Speaker 1: Lisa Matthews, the Lowdown with Lorenzo Alexander, Gregg Cosel from

2481
02:13:18,480 --> 02:13:21,120
Speaker 1: NFL Films, a new edition of Tasker's Teammate, and the

2482
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:25,000
Speaker 1: Obi l Fan mail Bag joins Steve and I. Tomorrow,

2483
