In fact, we had now we 16 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: got blue skies, some blue skies popping over. So it's 17 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: gonna clear off and it's gonna it's gonna be nice, 18 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: I mean, but it's rough. 19 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 20 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: We uh, we're We don't really have an update as 21 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 2: of yet as to what's the plan for the bills today. Obviously, 22 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: with the driving band in Orchard Park, they've got some 23 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: workarounds to deal with as well. So I would presume, uh, 24 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: their day has been pushed back a little bit. But 25 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: we'll wait and see what the plan is when we 26 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: get wind of it as we are, you know, home 27 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: bound here today, and we'll as soon as we know 28 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: what the Bills plan is, and when they send out 29 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: the Thursday injury report, will pass it along to you. 30 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: The good news coming out of yesterday, obviously, was the 31 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 2: news concerning Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid. Both of those 32 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: players were limited in practice for the better part of 33 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: the last three weeks, and yesterday was the first time 34 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: on Wednesday's injury report that they were designated as full participants, 35 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: so certainly indicating that they're on track to return to 36 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: the lineup this week against the Lions. And when you 37 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: think about it, Steve, you know, this team hung forty 38 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: two on the Rams last week. Without those two in 39 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: the lineup. They've scored thirty points a game in every 40 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 2: game that they have missed, so putting points on the 41 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 2: board has not been a problem. But adding those two 42 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: would certainly be welcome additions considering the high powered offense 43 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 2: they're going against this week. 44 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you'd think that more weapons the better 45 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: and it's probably, as usually the case, we have no 46 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: reason to believe that these guys aren't gonna help when 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: they get back. It certainly gives Joe Brady more assets 48 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: to move around. But let's face it, it's it's not 49 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: broken offensively in this team. They're scooting along real fine. 50 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: And that's after both these teams, both the Rams and 51 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: the Bills, got off to kind of slow starts. It 52 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: was seven to seven at the end of the first 53 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: so things heated up as this game went on, and 54 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: you can bet too, and it's a good thing. Now 55 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: we're in week fourteen, right, fourteen. 56 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 3: And. 57 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: So these guys have these guys have got some reps 58 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: under their belt. It's going to it's not like it's 59 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: going to be new to them, and there's gonna be 60 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: this feeling out here. They should just be plug and 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: play at this point. 62 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're in week fifteen here. 63 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, it's fifteen. 64 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: Because we've got four games left fifteen, sixteen, seventeen eighteen. 65 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, and it looks like the Lions are getting 66 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: healthier on defense. I was checking out some of their 67 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: work by their reporters over there, and I'm not sure 68 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: that their defensive tackle Dj Reider is going to get 69 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: back in the lineup, but some of their other defensive 70 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: linemen will, like Josh Pascal, And it looks like Aliam 71 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: McNeil is already practicing. They had a padded practice yesterday 72 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: and Alie McNeil did participate. That doesn't mean he's at 73 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: a concussion protocol yet officially, but he's doing football related activities, 74 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: which means at the very least he'son like stage four 75 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: of the five step return to play protocol. So they 76 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: are getting healthier on the defensive side of the ball, 77 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 2: which is certainly good news for them. I did notice 78 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: one of their replacements at the linebacker level, you know, 79 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: with some of the injury losses that they've had Alex Angeloni, 80 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: the most notable among them was they have David Long 81 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: in there at linebacker. And for those that don't remember, 82 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: that's the guy that the Bills passed all over when 83 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: he was playing for the Dolphins at the second level 84 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: of the defense. If that guy is out there on 85 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: any down in which the Bills are passing, Josh Allen's 86 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 2: eyes should go right to that dude because he got 87 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: cut by the Dolphins because he couldn't cover anybody against 88 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: the Bills. 89 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. Never, you know, never think it's going to be 90 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: the same on one team that it was on another 91 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: either though. I mean there's no but you're right, there's 92 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: something there to be tested, no question about it, because 93 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened to him when they when they 94 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: played him. So he'll be a familiar face and you 95 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: can bet Joe Brady and Kelly Skipper and all those 96 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: guys are looking around saying, you know, where can we 97 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: find this guy? We got to go get him. And 98 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: that's where you start with games like this, right, I 99 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: mean you don't see this team that often. 100 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: Well yeah, and they're a team that doesn't have a 101 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 3: whole lot of weak. 102 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: This is either, right, and you've gotta that's what you 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: look for. That's that's where they start. And uh now 104 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: same goes for the Detroit Lions. I mean, they're gonna 105 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: they've got some stuff going on as well, but they'll 106 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: be looking to exploit the Bills too. I think this 107 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: most recent I think it's you got to consider it. 108 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: If you're the Bills, it's spinning a positive and those 109 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: guys in the building are going to do that because 110 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: they'll know more than anybody else. You got to think 111 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: this last game against the Rams was a little bit 112 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: of an aberration. Two elite pass catchers, an elite thrower. 113 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: You show up a little slow, a little flat, and 114 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: you just you can't turn it on. You can't catch 115 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: up to these guys. You know, you force them to 116 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: punt just twice in the entire game. You don't get 117 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: a turnover, don't get a sack. It just seems strikes 118 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: me as a little bit of an aberration. So I 119 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: expect the Bills to play better. I don't know how 120 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: much better. Who knows? Yeah, but both these teams, both 121 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: these offenses, the Detroit and Buffalo, I'll say it again. 122 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: Detroit's number one in the league in scoring, Buffalo's number two. 123 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: Take the over, well right, Yeah. 124 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: And the other thing that's interesting too, is the Pills 125 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: and Lions have played five straight games decided by three 126 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 2: points or less, which is tied for the longest active 127 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: streak in the NFL. If this one is a field 128 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: goal game, it's gonna match the longest streak in NFL history. 129 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: I guess the Broncos and Raiders had six consecutive games 130 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: like that in their Division series from eighty three. 131 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: To eighty six. 132 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: We remember the Thanksgiving Day game the Bills win twenty 133 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: eight twenty five a couple of years ago, when Allen 134 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: throws that frozen rope to Diggs and they eventually getting 135 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: field goal range. 136 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: In Bass walks in, well, that's just there's the first 137 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: play of the drive with forty three seconds to go, 138 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: and Josh Zing's one run right down the middle of 139 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: the hash marks to Diggs, who and the deep and 140 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: he was covered. It's not like Detroit didn't see it coming. 141 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: The guys a thousandth of a second late. Digs catches 142 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: it and right there they're in range tory at least 143 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: try a field goal, and they end up winning it. 144 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: That was a sensational game, and I expect this one 145 00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: to be as well. 146 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: Just to put a kapper on what the Wednesday injury 147 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: report told us, Rasul Douglas and Taylor Rapp the only 148 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: non participants in practice yesterday, Douglas dealing with a knee 149 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: injury and rap dealing with neck and shoulder injuries respectively, 150 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: and Casey two Hill was limited with his rib injury 151 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: that he sustained in the Rams game.

I guess the 161 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: Board of Trustees are meeting to day to ratify it. 162 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: But for all intents and purposes, Bill Belichick's one year 163 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: absence from coaching football is going to be over as 164 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 2: the six time Super Bowl winning head coach is heading 165 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: to the college ranks. Finalized the deal to become a 166 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: head coach at the University of North Carolina. The school 167 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: has announced the hiring. It's a five year deal pending 168 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: approval by the Board of Trustees and Board of Governors. So, 169 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: at age seventy three, Steve Belichick is going to be 170 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: the oldest head coach in FBS. 171 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've said at a ton, coaching is not a career. 172 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: It's a lifestyle, and that's what these guys do. You've 173 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: got guys scattered around the National Football League, even in 174 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: today's game where so many coaches are now younger and younger. 175 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: You know, you've got Sean McVay in LA who's hired 176 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: very early, and all the guys from that Ale Shanahan, 177 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan coaching tree, all these young guys that are 178 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: coming out now they've been there for a minute. But 179 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: it's a trend. But still, even in that trend, you've 180 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: got a ton of guys that have got some pretty 181 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: gray beards floating around the NFL. It's because it's what 182 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: they do, Brownie, these guys, it's a lifestyle, it's who 183 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: it's who they are. They want to help guys win 184 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: football games. They want to help them be better men. 185 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: They want to help them, you know, they want to 186 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: be that a mentor figure for young men in a 187 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: football setting. They like the strategy, they like the game planning. 188 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: They don't mind the hours their life. Now at this point, 189 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: when you get to be seventy three, Belichick crafts the 190 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: life he wants, right, So yeah, he's got it. There's 191 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: a number of former players and a number of old 192 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: connections to Bill Belichick, to the University of North Carolina. 193 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: Not nothing like he didn't graduate from there, but his 194 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: dad coached there when he was very young. Lawrence Taylor 195 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: came out of out of North Carolina. Know he's got 196 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: some you know, some fondness for the school. And at 197 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: seventy three, and I heard the interview back when he 198 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: was in his late fifties early sixties, he said, and 199 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: he was talking about Marv coaching. This might have been 200 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: back when Marv was, you know, seventy and still coaching. 201 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: He said, I'm not going to do it. He said, 202 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: I got you know, I'm like, I don't know, man, Okay, 203 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: if you can say it now. And sure enough, at 204 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: seventy three, he just took a brand new job three 205 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: years older than you know he he had meant, he 206 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: had noted how old Marv was to be coaching. It's 207 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: just the way they are, man, There's just no turning back. 208 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 2: And I guess if we see his son, Stephen Belichick 209 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: on the coaching staff, we can presume that one of 210 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: his prerequisites for being hired, which was his son Stephen 211 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: Belichick succeeds him as head coach when he's done the 212 00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: quote unquote coaching waiting. 213 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: If he's on the staff, I think we have to. 214 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: Presume he will be the air apparent, and that UNC 215 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: approved that stipulation, you know, in his four hundred page manifesto. 216 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: Right there, you go, Yeah, and that's yeah cool. I'm 217 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm okay with it. I'm not you know, 218 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 1: I have a problem with it. I don't have a 219 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: problem with it. If he wants to do it, that's awesome. 220 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: It'll be very interesting to watch him put a program together. 221 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: And because there there is no sports industry that has 222 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: changed so much and is still changing so fast as 223 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: college football in the United States. 224 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: And if there's someone that's an ardent pursuer of a 225 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: cheap code, it's him. 226 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 3: So you know, let's see what he can do. 227 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, no kidding, Well, anyway. 228 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: And he's got less oversight now than ever. 229 00:12:52,760 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, can you imagine he's got like nobody here, yes, nobody. 230 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: Your site than ever. The NCAA really governing now, do 231 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Is a toothless giant, no 232 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: teeth absolutely who's governing that guy. 233 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: Nobody. 234 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: No, he has absolutely no oversight. There's nobody who is 235 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: it's you know who you know who it is. It's 236 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: the other head coaches. Yeah, you know, you think about it. 237 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: That's what That's what got Jim harbaught Michigan. Somebody said, 238 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: who's this guy in our gear on our sideline? And 239 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: then somebody goes, wait a minute, I saw him on 240 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: the sideline. He's a Michigan guy. What's going on? 241 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: You know, That's what I'm talking about. 242 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. So unless you get caught, nobody knows. 243 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: It's the wild West. 244 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: And if it's a good idea, they may not turn 245 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,599 Speaker 1: you in. They may just copy you. 246 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that might be the part of this thing that 247 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: I'm most interested in seeing. 248 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: So, I mean, you'll have more power to him. Good 249 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: for him, Yeah, and I'm yes, it's it's a great story. 250 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: I think it's good for football. It says something about 251 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: where these guys are at in their lives, and you know, 252 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: you can evolve as a human being, and this guy 253 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: is one of the most high profile people in the 254 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: sport and he's evolving. It's interesting. 255 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 256 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: Thursday Night Football the Rams head to Levi Stadium for 257 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: a major divisional clash that will help shape the looming 258 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: playoff picture, particularly in the NFC West. A loss would 259 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 2: all but certainly knock the forty nine Ers out of 260 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: the playoff mix because they're six and seven and they've 261 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: already lost the first head to head matchup with the 262 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: Rams earlier this season, all the way back in Week three, 263 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: seven and six. Rams know they need every win possible 264 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: down the stretch here if they're going to catch the Seahawks, 265 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: who sit atop the NFC West far as player availability goes, 266 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers running back Isaac Garndo plans to play 267 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: despite a spring foot against the Rams, and I mean, 268 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: when you look at it, he's the last running back 269 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: standing because Jordan Mason and Christian McCaffrey are on injured 270 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: reserve their top two backs, so it's down to Corendo, 271 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: who's listed as questionable but insists he's going to play tonight. 272 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers also have Nick Bosa questionable. But here's 273 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 2: some good news. They're a starting linebacker who usually lines 274 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: up next to Fred Warner. Drey Greenlaw is going to 275 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: be activated to the fifty three man roster for tonight's game. 276 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: For those that don't remember, he's the guy that tried 277 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: to bound off the sidelines and sub into the football 278 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: game after a kickoff to go play defense and ruptured 279 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: his achilles in the process. 280 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 3: So he's been rehabbing that. 281 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: I guess he's going to be on a pitch count tonight, 282 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: which makes sense you can't just jump into regularly. 283 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, football players good to see, though, I mean that's 284 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: a long pin back bro long rehab and Nick. Getting 285 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa back on the field will absolutely help, depending 286 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: on how effective he can be. And I'll say this too, 287 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: but we saw the forty nine ers come to Buffalo 288 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: Bills beat them. The Rams beat Buffalo, and I'm not 289 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: saying if equals b b will see because we know 290 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: that's not true in football. But let me tell you 291 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: something from the teams I saw play against the Buffalo 292 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: Bills LA. The way they're playing right now, offensively, they're 293 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna boat race those guys. Well, the forty 294 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: nine ers are not going to be able to keep 295 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: up with you. 296 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: That's been the biggest knock on the Rams though. 297 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: Every time they look like they're on the cusp of 298 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: making a run and contending they have a down performance. 299 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: Now I would be well, I would be inclined to 300 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: agree with you, but that's been the knock on them 301 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: all season, which is why they're hovering. 302 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: Just they started, they started one in four. Now they're 303 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: seven and six. They're they're right, six and two on 304 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: their last eight games, and so whenever they if they 305 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: don't play well, they're still winning. Those guys are good 306 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: enough to run with anybody offensively. So I'm not worried. 307 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sitting over and we have no skin 308 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: in that game. We don't care whether the nine Ers 309 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: Rams get in or anything. But I think I was 310 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: really impressed with the Rams, and if they stay healthy 311 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: with those two guys in Nakua and Cup and Stafford, 312 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: you ain't beating them. 313 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problem in San Francisco. They just look 314 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 2: like a tired team. 315 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: I just think they do. 316 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: The years that go into the NFC title game has 317 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 2: added an extra season games and they're just flat out 318 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 2: worn out. Now I don't blame them. I'd probably be 319 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: worn out too. And they're an older team. You know, 320 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: they're a little bit older team, not all the way 321 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: across the board, but they've got some guys that are 322 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: long in the tooth that they depend on, uh, face 323 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 2: mask penalties, Steve coming out of the owners meetings, face 324 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 2: mask penalties could be the subject to replay review next season. 325 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: That according to NFL Executive VP of Football Operations Troy Vincent, 326 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: face mask penalties, which are not subject for review right now, 327 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: have been under scrutiny this season. I think we can 328 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 2: all point to some of these specific plays. 329 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: That were I've seen him, We've seen him. 330 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: So you had the one fourth quarter on Monday night 331 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: when Joe Burrow's face mask got spun around a little bit, 332 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 2: the one against Sam Donald at the end of the 333 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: game against the Rams that went uncalled. You know, Donald's 334 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 2: looking around like how how do you have two eyeballs 335 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: and not see that? 336 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 3: It was egregious. 337 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 2: So once again the league is coming to the rescue saying, well, 338 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: if you don't see it the first time, we're gonna 339 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: try to get it right by reviewing it on replay 340 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 2: to see if you can see a quarterback's head gets 341 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 2: spun around like the Exorcist. 342 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't have a problem with 343 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: this because it's not really a judgment call, right, Yeah. 344 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: It either got grabbed or it didn't. It's pretty black 345 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 3: and white. 346 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm I don't have a problem with him 347 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: reviewing this, but you're gonna start getting it your your head. 348 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: We've knew it was happening, gonna happen. It's a slippery slope. 349 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: Where is it gonna be. It's got to be either 350 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: it's got to be either a light swish yes or no. 351 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: It can't be. Well know, he didn't really gain an 352 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: advantage here, so we're gonna you know what I mean, 353 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: once you start reviewing stuff like that, you're you're lost. 354 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: You're a wash in a sea of confusion. 355 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 3: Okay, I guess that's fair. 356 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: So it's uh, this is great. I don't have a 357 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: problem with him this with review and face Mask. 358 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't. I don't think those reviews are 359 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 2: going to take very long. They're gonna look at it 360 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: because somebody missed it on the field and be like, dude. 361 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: That's right, it's presto change. This is yeah, this is 362 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: something they can do on the fly. I am totally 363 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: good with this. Yeah, just yeah, Okay, we're gonna start 364 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: doing that this week. Let's go and nobody nobody cares 365 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: that's fine. You know they're not who's pushing back against this? Right? 366 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't anticipate it, right, No. Uh. 367 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: We heard Garrett Wilson after the Jets loss in the 368 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: waning moments to the Miami Dolphins last week that he 369 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 2: feels the Jets have a losing gene and they're just 370 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 2: flat out incapable of playing clutch. After their overtime loss 371 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: to the Dolphins last Sunday, well, Aaron Rodgers has apparently 372 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: taken it a step further, and addressing the media yesterday, 373 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: he thinks the Jets are losing a battle against a 374 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: force of nature that reaches beyond the bounds of humanity. 375 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 2: The supernatural, Steve is why the Jets are losing as 376 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: much as they are. 377 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: This is this is where we are with the Jets 378 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 3: at this point in time. 379 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: The supernatural forces are keeping them from winning. I mean 380 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: I every week you think you've you think the Jets 381 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: have jumped the shark, and they top it. So they 382 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: went from having a losing gene to Aaron Rodgers crediting 383 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: the supernatural against them. 384 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: It's not just Bill's mafia. 385 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 3: Here's the crazy thing. 386 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: It's everybody. 387 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 3: Here's the crazy thing. Jets fans probably would agree. 388 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, you can see the jet, you can 389 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: see the memes now in the unit. 390 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: It's definitely supernatural. 391 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: Guys, there's no way we're uh, we're we're incapable of 392 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 2: winning because of our talent. 393 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 3: It's gotta be something else. 394 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: You can see it too, some guys sitting there thinking 395 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: about it, shrugging his shoulders and raising his eyebrows and going, yeah, okay, 396 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: you know it's probably right, not as yeah, yeah, probably right. Yeah, 397 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: it is supernatural. 398 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 2: Because by losing last week, they clinched another year with 399 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 2: no playoffs. They're officially mathematically eliminated, and they haven't reached 400 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: the postseason since twenty ten. They haven't broken double digit wins. 401 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 2: Its Fits was their quarterback in twenty fifteen. I think 402 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: they were ten and six that year and missed the playoffs. 403 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 2: And then we know the history here. 404 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 3: They've gone through two head coaches. 405 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 2: An interim coach, and you know, punted on their GM 406 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 2: as well, and Aaron Rodgers' acquisition in twenty twenty three 407 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 2: has largely gone over like a lead. 408 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: Balloon this season. You could flush this season the moment 409 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: they changed head coaches. Yes, that was it's week five, 410 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: I mean it was. That's idiotic, that's it's total reactionary, 411 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: that's it's song. It was such a bad move. 412 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 2: So so let me pose this to you, where would 413 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 2: you put the odds on? First, first question, where would 414 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 2: you put the odds on whether or not Rogers is 415 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty five? 416 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: And then second part of that question. 417 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: Is is it Rogers pulling the rip chord or is 418 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: it the Jets saying thanks, but no thanks, we're going 419 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 2: to eat even more money. 420 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: I think it'll be the Jets before to be Rogers. Yeah, 421 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: I think he. I mean he's I think he's digging 422 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: on this spotlight as hot as it is. 423 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 3: Well it's white hot for all the wrong reasons. 424 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: Though, I think he digs it. I think I think. 425 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 3: He'll he he is an attention mongerer. 426 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: We know that, right, So I think I think he'll 427 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: he'll soak this up for as long as he can. 428 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: Okay, but what are the odds he's not in a 429 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: Jets uniform in twenty twenty five? 430 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: Fifty fifty, Yeah, I think it's it's coin flip, coin flip. 431 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 3: I think it's sixty forty. Yeah, he's a little coin. 432 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: Likely he's not there really, Maybe, why are you. 433 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: Gonna have a forty one year old quarterback on a 434 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 2: team that's going nowhere? 435 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: Like? Well, here's why, I mean, you cant because you 436 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: draft a young guy. 437 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 3: Right. 438 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: So, so Aaron Rodgers is gonna gonna play bridge quarterback role? 439 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about that. 440 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: Well, he can keep it as long as he wants it, 441 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: but he's not. He's forty what forty one? He's not 442 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna want to play for another five years. You can 443 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: tell him. He play as long as you want, as 444 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,239 Speaker 1: long as you can. We're gonna you're gonna mentor this 445 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: guy just like you did who all these he was? 446 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 2: Well, hold on, I gotta stop you there.

I think he and Jordan Love had 449 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: a pretty good relationship. 450 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, because he was still clearly the guy. 451 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: Well he got a two time MVP while Jordan Love 452 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: was sitting on his shoulder. 453 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 3: Maybe he was still firmly the guy. He's yea firmly 454 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: the guy. 455 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't underestimate his desire or anything to be a 456 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: good teammate. I think he wants to be I don't 457 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: know if he is or has the dot to be. 458 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: I don't think he has a lack of desire to 459 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: be a good teammate. I think he'll put his arm 460 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: around a guy and show him how to do hyahuasca.

Anyway, we 518 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 2: have to step aside and take a break because when 519 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 2: we come back, we're going to be joined on the 520 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 2: line by SI senior NFL writer Connor Or put together 521 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: a nice piece on Josh Allen and his off the 522 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 2: field exploits.

He kind of 541 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: went into pretty great detail. And I know people here 542 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 2: in Western New York are aware of his off the 543 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: field exploits, especially with Oshai Children's Hospital, but it was 544 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: nice that you kinda put a spotlight on a lot 545 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: of what he does off the field as well. 546 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 547 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 4: It was very lucky, I mean, being assigned to the 548 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 4: DeMar Hamlin's story when it happened, and getting to know 549 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 4: so many people here, and I felt like I had 550 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 4: some just fans on the ground that could give me 551 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 4: a better idea of what made Josh special. And we 552 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 4: all saw what he did on the field this year, 553 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 4: but to be able to then get connected to the 554 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 4: Children's hospital and then get connect to Jake whose story 555 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 4: that we told in the story, someone who Josh you know, 556 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 4: made his day, made his year, made his life. 557 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 3: To this point. 558 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 4: You know, it was it was really special. And you know, 559 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 4: the thing that I want to underline that blew my 560 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 4: mind was the people from the Children's Hospital and Buffalo 561 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 4: said that Josh alone is worth millions with an M 562 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 4: millions of dollars to the Buffalo Children's Hospital. And this 563 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 4: is an area with one of the highest child poverty 564 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 4: rates in the country, one of the highest Medicaid rates 565 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 4: in the country. 566 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: So it's just massive. 567 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 4: You know what he's been able to do there, and 568 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 4: I'm sure you guys know that. 569 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: And it's more than just being a football player. It's 570 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: also you know, what he brings to the table as 571 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: a human being, and you know the genuine nature of 572 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: his interactions and obviously his play has ascended every single 573 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: time he takes a snap on the field. That and 574 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: now he goes what he started out as as a 575 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: great guy and a guy Buffalo fans loved and got behind. 576 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: Now it's he's much more for his presence is much 577 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: more for reaching than that. 578 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 579 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Jake, the kid that we wrote 580 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,239 Speaker 4: about in the story, was diagnosed with leukemia, and we 581 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 4: were talking about just how difficult that is. I think 582 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 4: we all know someone who's gone through cancer treatment and 583 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 4: the fatigue and just how beaten down you kind of feel. 584 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 4: And one day he just shows up at the hospital 585 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 4: and Josh is there and you know, not only are 586 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 4: they talking and stuff, but a couple of months later, 587 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 4: at a charity golf outing, they play a couple holes 588 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 4: together while lo and behold. Josh sees him back on 589 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 4: the turn after he had to go inside and do 590 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 4: some media stuff, and he's like, why don't. 591 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: You come back out and play with us? 592 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 4: They played twenty more holes together. I mean, this is 593 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 4: something that just feels second nature to Josh. I mean, 594 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 4: you know, Jake was saying how natural the conversation was 595 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 4: and everything, but it really does change the someone's outlook, 596 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 4: you know, it brightens someone's moment, and Josh just seems 597 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 4: very natural with that, which is impressive. 598 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, genuine and natural for sure. Why don't we talk 599 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: his on field exploits for a bit. You know, some 600 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 2: of his production numbers are tracking behind what they were 601 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 2: last year. But I think his team has, you know, 602 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 2: put themselves in a much better position than the one 603 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: they were in last year. Last year, at this time, 604 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: they were seven and six football team and had to 605 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 2: sprint to the finish to walk down Miami and win 606 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: the division. Now they're ten and three and in a 607 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 2: very good spot, having already won the division. And I 608 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 2: think what might be different is he's got some of 609 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 2: those signature plays in nationally televised games. Look, Saquon Barkley's 610 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 2: got some two jumping over a guy backwards and you know, 611 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 2: seventy two yard touchdowns on Sunday Night Football. 612 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 3: But I think Josh has more of. 613 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 4: I do too, And it's funny. I was actually looking 614 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 4: back at I did a one Bills live back in 615 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 4: June where I predicted Josh Allen as an MVP and 616 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 4: the Bills to go to the Super Bowl, and you 617 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,479 Speaker 4: were nice enough to put that in the clips at 618 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 4: ranks on Google, and so I feel very good about 619 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 4: that right now. But you're right, I do think that 620 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 4: there's signal moments from Josh. But also, you know, what's 621 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 4: good about some of the advanced metrics. Some of the 622 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 4: advanced stats that we have now are it takes into 623 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 4: account down distance, game situation. Like some of the Saquon 624 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 4: plays were great, you know, but they occurred maybe when 625 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 4: Philadelphia was up by three touchdowns or whatever it is. 626 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 4: I mean, these are big moments in tight games against 627 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 4: you know, the Rams going totally berserker in that game 628 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 4: the Chiefs, and I just think that, you know, losing 629 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 4: some of the talent I think around him improved the case. 630 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 4: And I thought that was going to be the case 631 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 4: going into the year as well. 632 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: What's it going to take for Saquon Barkley just to 633 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: win the MVP away from a guy like Josh I. 634 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 4: Mean, we'll see, right, I mean Philadelphia in my mind, 635 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 4: I mean, Saquon's had a great year, There's no doubt 636 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 4: about that. But Philadelphia just closed that stretch where I 637 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 4: think during that point where we had talked about Saquon 638 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 4: as an MVP candidate, they played something like eight of 639 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 4: the twelve or thirteen worst rushing defenses in the NFL. 640 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 4: And I'm not taking anything away from Saquon, but you 641 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 4: know that back half of the Eagles schedule was kind 642 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 4: of uniquely set up for them, I think, to have 643 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 4: some good games, and you know, I want to see 644 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 4: what happens when we get into late December early January. 645 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 4: I mean, this is when it matters the most. I mean, 646 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 4: if he has these signature games throughout the end of 647 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 4: the season, possibly, But you can't diminish a quarterback's value 648 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 4: to a team. I mean, you know, I'm as tired 649 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 4: as anyone of making it a quarterback only award. But 650 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 4: if you take Josh Allen off the Bills, like you know, 651 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 4: we're talking about like a three and ten, you know, 652 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 4: three and eleven team right now. 653 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 2: And then even though the Bills drop a tight one 654 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 2: and a comeback after last week on the road to 655 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 2: a desperate Rams team that needs wins, you still are 656 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,719 Speaker 2: bullish on them. And I think he even moved him 657 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 2: up in your power rankings this week. 658 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of controversies in the power rankings this week, 659 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 4: because sometimes I never know what week is gonna make 660 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 4: everybody upset, But this seems to be one that you know, 661 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 4: but it improved my thoughts on the Bills. If I'm 662 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 4: being honest with you, right, I mean to know that 663 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 4: you can score forty two points on a whim, and 664 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 4: maybe if you had the end of that game back, 665 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 4: we're looking at a forty five point game, you know, 666 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 4: And if you had a chance to do that over 667 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. It's a tough spot to 668 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 4: be in if you're Sean McDermott. But if you have 669 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 4: that over again, we might be looking at a different outcome. So, 670 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 4: I mean, I love the fact that you know, offensively, 671 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 4: we're matching points for points with Sean McVay. That makes 672 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 4: me feel pretty good if I'm a you know, if 673 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 4: I'm looking at the Bills going into the postseason. 674 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: What about this Detroit game this weekend? That Bill's head 675 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: in there. Now we've got the fact that they may 676 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: not even be able to practice today because of the 677 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: snowstorm that hit Buffalo. In my experience, that's it's not 678 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: a bad sometimes, that's not a bad thing. Having something 679 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: hit outside the walls of the stateium where the guys 680 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: have to kind of come together. It's a rallying point, 681 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But they're going to Detroit. What 682 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Yeah, I mean, I. 683 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 4: Think you know, Detroit is the best team in the NFL. 684 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 4: I said this the other week. I mean, I started 685 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 4: covering the league in twenty ten. This might have been 686 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 4: the best regular season team that I've ever covered, and 687 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 4: I did miss the seven Patriots, but I think this 688 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 4: might be one of the best teams that I've ever 689 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 4: covered period, you know. But we'll see what happens. They're 690 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 4: also on long rest, which I think does help Detroit, 691 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 4: you know, and they need to get some stuff sorted 692 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 4: out after they had the Thursday night game, and then 693 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 4: the Bills are coming back cross country and then having 694 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,760 Speaker 4: to go back to Detroit. So it's definitely a challenge. 695 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 4: But these are the games that you want to play 696 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 4: in before the playoffs. It's going to have a playoff feel. 697 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 4: It's going to you know, everything about it's going to 698 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 4: replicate a playoff moment. So we'll see what happens. 699 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 2: For sure, is there, I mean, because I could see 700 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 2: this being another shootout game very easily, because you know, 701 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 2: the Bills defense is trying to regroup after a down 702 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 2: performance last week, and the Lions still aren't completely healthy 703 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:55,800 Speaker 2: on defense. 704 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 3: Even though they're getting healthier. 705 00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 2: They might get a couple of guys back on their 706 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 2: defenseive line may also get Taylor Decker back at left tackle. 707 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 2: But knowing that and maybe some guys getting their feedback 708 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 2: under them in the lineups, it's not hard to get 709 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 2: to a place where you could see both teams over 710 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 2: thirty points in this thing. 711 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: No for sure. 712 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 4: And I think the way that Detroit plays defense, I 713 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 4: mean they're daring teams to go downfield on them, and 714 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 4: that's what they're saying, like, take your shots and if 715 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 4: you don't, then we're going to eat you alive. And 716 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 4: Josh is one of the very few quarterbacks that's gonna say, sure, 717 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 4: let's do it and let's find out. And so I 718 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 4: think that it does present a really interesting matchup in 719 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 4: that way. But I'll give Erin Glenn a lot of credit. 720 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 4: I mean, we've talked about Ben Jhonson being the next 721 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 4: head coach. The obvious head coaching candidate, Aaron Glenn's been 722 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 4: doing a ton with this, completely remade the way that 723 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 4: they played defense and is doing it week in and 724 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,959 Speaker 4: week out with a lot of injuries to that unit. 725 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 4: So I'm very curious to see how this one plays out. 726 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: Do you think this Bill's defense? What do we see 727 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: from them? Last It was an absolutely a down performance 728 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 1: for them. Is that who they are? Do you think 729 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: is it an aberration? Certainly they ran into a good 730 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: rams offense. 731 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 4: I don't think that's who they are. I mean, I 732 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 4: think sometimes you go into a game, you know, with 733 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 4: a game plan, and you're trying to figure something out, 734 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 4: and you talk to any coordinator right there are sometimes 735 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 4: when you get there on the field and it's ten 736 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 4: minutes into a game on Sunday, and you know that 737 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 4: everything that we practiced and everything that we put into 738 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,240 Speaker 4: place is not what's happening in this game. They're doing 739 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 4: something different. They're beating us in a way that we're 740 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 4: not prepared for. And there's a million ways to beat 741 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 4: a team, and I think that sometimes that's how that 742 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 4: lays the groundwork for shootouts. And so if this becomes 743 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 4: a pattern, sure, I mean that's something that you worry about. 744 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 4: But especially against Sean McVay, now that they're totally healthy, 745 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 4: I look at this as sort of an outlier defensive performance. 746 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,760 Speaker 3: Wellpen it over to the college game. 747 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 2: You know, future Hall of Fame coach Bill Belichick jumped 748 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 2: over there, looks like it's gonna happen. He sends a 749 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 2: four hundred page manifesto to the University of North Carolina. 750 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 3: And they're like, Yep, looks good, let's do it. 751 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 2: Some people think this is a giant middle finger by 752 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 2: Bill to the NFL, who really didn't hire him back 753 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 2: in a very open hiring cycle last offseason that included 754 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 2: what was it six openings maybe even more if I 755 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 2: remember right. So, you know, he doesn't get hired, He's 756 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 2: all over media, and then all of a sudden he's 757 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 2: he's landing in Chapel Hill. How do you see it? 758 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 2: Do you see him as spurning the NFL and saying, well, 759 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 2: just coaching the college ranks or is there something else 760 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 2: a foot there that you think. 761 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 4: No, I mean, I think it was probably too pronged. 762 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 4: I mean, I can say for a fact, I mean 763 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 4: I think Bill was interested in NFL jobs in September. 764 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 4: You know, I think that he was looking at, you know, 765 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 4: and examining the market and looking at coming back and 766 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 4: coaching the NFL. I think that's one hundred percent true. 767 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 4: But my guess is that at some point, as this 768 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 4: war on, you start thinking about what you really want 769 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 4: to do, and you know, I think probably the North 770 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 4: Carolina job presented the perfect opportunity for Bill to basically 771 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 4: go all in. You know, if you look at the 772 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 4: timing of everything, it dragged on to the point where 773 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 4: everyone else that North Carolina was interested in had gone 774 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 4: back to their previous places, right, I mean Matt Campbell, 775 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 4: the coach from Tulaine, I think it was. You know, 776 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 4: they lost on all their other targets, and so Bill 777 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 4: had this great chance to push all his chips into 778 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 4: the middle of the table and say, Okay, is anybody 779 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 4: gonna call me from the NFL. I think the answer 780 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 4: was probably no, And so he took the job. And 781 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 4: so he did what was best for him, which was 782 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 4: set him up, set himself up for the best of 783 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 4: both worlds. 784 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: How do you think he'll do. 785 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 4: It's a good question, you know. I think that you know, 786 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 4: he loves the technical part of it. And to say 787 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 4: that like you need to be this raw ra guy 788 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,240 Speaker 4: in college in order to succeed, I think that's totally false. 789 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a close follower of the Army football program. 790 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 4: I live by the Army football program. I'd take my 791 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 4: kids to see their games all the time. You know, 792 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 4: that's a that's an old school football program, right, and 793 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 4: they develop guys that are way undersized and way less talented, 794 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 4: and they're winning nine and ten games a year. So 795 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 4: could Belichick do that one hundred percent? I mean, you 796 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 4: can do anything in the NFL era with a financial 797 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 4: commitment that they're allegedly getting from this too, So I 798 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 4: think that's important to keep it. 799 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: One thing I thought about in this is, yes, Army 800 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: does develop their guess, but they can make sure the 801 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: Army guys aren't going anywhere. Yeah, they're not going to 802 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: the transfer portal doesn't exist for the Army guys, right, 803 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: I mean they get a chance for these guys of 804 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: four years. It will be interesting to watch the portal 805 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: in and out of Chapel Hill for sure. 806 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 4: I mean, who doesn't want to be a part of this? 807 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 4: But I would say too, I mean how many I mean, 808 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 4: you guys have been covering the AFCs for years. How 809 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 4: many times have we seen, you know, a Wes Welker 810 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 4: come in after four years in Miami and then all 811 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 4: of a sudden he's Wes Welker in New England. You know, 812 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 4: he's this transcendent you know, player and stuff like that. 813 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 4: And you know, I don't think Bill always needs to 814 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 4: get his hands on guys. For years and years and years. 815 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 4: I mean Tom Brady was great and in his second 816 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 4: season with the Patriots by the time you know that 817 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 4: rolled around, and so I think that there could be 818 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 4: some immediate improvement. And I mean, I'll say this, you know, 819 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 4: there's zero doubt the lack of individual, one on one 820 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 4: developmental coaching in college that that is an epidemic. And 821 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,320 Speaker 4: if Bill is interested in solving that at any level, 822 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 4: then I'm all for him being a college football head coach. 823 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 4: I think that's great. 824 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 3: Connor, Thanks for the time.

We 830 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 2: will take a break here and be back with more 831 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live, presented by co Lo out of Health. 832 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 3: It's Buffalo Bill's Ring. 833 00:41:58,880 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 4: I love it. 834 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 2: Back to what Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you radio 835 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 2: only addition today, due to the weather in the South 836 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 2: downs keeping us from our studios at One Bill's Drive 837 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: in Orchard Park, it's also keeping players away from One 838 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 2: Bill's Drive as well. 839 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 3: There is a driving. 840 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 2: Band in Orchard Park, Hamburg, Elma, and some other towns 841 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 2: in the South towns, So if you live down there, 842 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 2: keep an eye out and probably don't go anywhere if 843 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 2: you don't really need to. 844 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 3: But this just in today's bills. 845 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 2: Practice has been canceled and the team is meeting virtually 846 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 2: due to the inclement weather in the South towns, which 847 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 2: is buried in a Lake effect snowband right now and 848 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 2: upwards of two feet on the ground in most southtown areas. 849 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 2: So Bill's gonna have to get a little creative. I wonder, Steve, 850 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 2: if they would move everything back to the evening if 851 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 2: it tapers off, and it's it possible they have an 852 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 2: evening practice. 853 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 3: No one they got to come right back Friday. 854 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 5: And. 855 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I would say, maybe they want them to 856 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 1: come in, but I don't think they'll. I don't think 857 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: they'll disrupt it. I think that would their body clocks 858 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: would be all askew. They might come in for a 859 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 1: walkthrough or something like that. Maybe if they can get 860 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: the roads cleared and all that, I think they'll probably 861 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: just try and get started a little earlier tomorrow, put 862 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: in a full, much more full practice for a Friday 863 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: than they would normally, probably a little lighter pace, but 864 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: more in it and and try and make it back 865 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: to normal on Saturday for the trip, you know, the 866 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:29,720 Speaker 1: road trip. 867 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,280 Speaker 3: Time now for excuse me, mister Tasker. 868 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 2: Presented by Total Sports Enterprises, the official and exclusive autograph 869 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 2: merchandise partner of the Buffalo Bills, we ask fans to 870 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,399 Speaker 2: submit their questions for Wall of Famer Steve Tasker when 871 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 2: we'll receive a premium mystery box of signed items could 872 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 2: be a signed picture, helmet, football or even a current 873 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 2: Bills signed player jersey.

There's a lot to like 882 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 1: about this team, no question about it. But I was 883 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about this, you know, this particular team, 884 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 1: you know, and this iteration yesterday, and you know what 885 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: I you know, what I think I like about this 886 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: team the most. And you know, Josh is great, Deon's great, 887 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: the players are great, the new guys are great. It's 888 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 1: fun to watch these guys emerge. It's fun to watch 889 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: them come together. It's fun to see the team exceed expectations. 890 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: And I think that's one of been one of the 891 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: most favorite things I've I've found about the Josh Allen 892 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott era of the Buffalo Bills. They continually 893 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,720 Speaker 1: exceed expecttions. And you can say what you want about 894 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,320 Speaker 1: late game clock management and all that stuff. This this team. 895 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,359 Speaker 1: I think my favorite thing about this team is I 896 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 1: cannot wait to see them play. I don't care who 897 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: it is. I don't care if it's Miami or the 898 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions or that. I cannot wait to see this 899 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: team play. And it's not just Josh and it. Certainly 900 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,240 Speaker 1: Josh is awesome and it's great, but I love watching 901 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: this team play and it has been. And listen, you 902 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: and I. You and I know as well as anybody 903 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: what it was like to be around here when it 904 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 1: was not all that you weren't looking forward to these 905 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: games as much. You know, you were curious, but you man, 906 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: I cannot because I know every game is gonna be 907 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: pretty special. We get those every It's been few and 908 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: far between where this team has had a game like 909 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,439 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens game. In fact, it was three years 910 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 1: ago against the Indianapolis Colts. You can remember them there. 911 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 1: You can remember on one hand this game. This team 912 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:13,720 Speaker 1: has been so good over the Sean McDermott era. Most 913 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 1: of the losses have a name. That's how infrequent they 914 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: are and how how weird they are when they happen. 915 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,919 Speaker 1: So I'm I think my favorite thing about this team 916 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: is the fact that how fun it is to watch 917 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 1: them play. And I know that's what it is to 918 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: be a fan. You know, you like watching your team 919 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 1: play and all that. But this team is easy to 920 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: be a fan of. The players are and I think 921 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,720 Speaker 1: it's fun because and remain fun because, like I said, 922 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 1: they have consistently, year over year exceeded expectations. 923 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 3: Now. 924 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: I know they've never won a Super Bowl and all that, 925 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,919 Speaker 1: and they were a super Bowl favorite back in twenty 926 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 1: twenty two, but man, oh man, what a fun team 927 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: to be a fan of these days. I think that's 928 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: my favorite thing. You don't have to justify being a 929 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: part of this fan base. 930 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, fun to be watching a team of this caliber 931 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 2: achieve the way they do. And yeah, to your point 932 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:15,360 Speaker 2: about winning, Sean mcdermody's one more victory to reach eleven 933 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 2: on the season, and he will become the fifth coach 934 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 2: in league history to have five consecutive seasons of at 935 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 2: least eleven wins. And the other four coaches that have 936 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 2: done that, I think they're all in the Hall of Fame. 937 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: So Andy Reid's done it. Andy Reid's done it too. 938 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Andy Reid, Tony Dungee, I believe it's Belichick. 939 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 3: And then did I see Tom Landry? 940 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: Tom? 941 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 2: Those are the four, so he would be number five. 942 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 2: That's pretty select company for sure. All Right, we have 943 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,240 Speaker 2: to take a break here because when we come back, 944 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 2: it's time for the Week fifteen Ultimate Fantasy Lineup, and 945 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 2: you know who helps us with that. 946 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 3: It's ESPN and fell insider. 947 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 2: And fantasy football expert Field Yate's gonna join us on 948 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 2: the line for our number two here on One Bill's 949 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 2: Live presented by Colida Health. 950 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 6: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 951 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live presented by Calida Health. 952 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 2: All right, here we are hour number two on a Thursday, 953 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,319 Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker one Bill's Live. 954 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 3: Thanks for making us a part of your afternoon. 955 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 2: Joined now by ESPN NFL Insider Fantasy Football analyst Field Yates, 956 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,840 Speaker 2: whose appearances on the show are presented by FanDuel, an 957 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 2: official partner of the Buffalo Bills.

It does not include three 972 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 5: being played on Thursdays. We are pumped up for the action. 973 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: Ahead and for the first time, as we're in week fifteen, 974 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: now things have changed during the season, and it starts 975 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 1: with your starting quarterback. There was a time when this 976 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 1: guy was handed, but now not so much. They're they're 977 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,840 Speaker 1: a different team, playing. 978 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 5: A whole lot better. And you know, guys, I gotta say, 979 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,959 Speaker 5: as we get going here, I wish my quarterback picked 980 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,280 Speaker 5: last week had been Josh Allen. I know the result 981 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,799 Speaker 5: wasn't what the team wanted, but that's an all time performance, right, 982 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 5: Literally the most Fantasy points ever scored by a quarterback 983 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:17,879 Speaker 5: in the game, So it's safe to say that Josh 984 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 5: paid off. He's just a remarkable player that's a joy 985 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,799 Speaker 5: to watch every week. But Bryce Young is my pick 986 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 5: this week at sixty eight hundred dollars, so not a 987 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 5: huge price here, and of course he draws The Cowboys. 988 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 5: We know this season have been kind of all over 989 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 5: the place, but consistently inconsistent on defense. Not a team 990 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 5: that's forcing nearly as many takeaways as they did just 991 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,240 Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, and it felt like every 992 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,240 Speaker 5: time to turn on the TV, Trevon Diggs was returning 993 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 5: an interception to the house, and then last year it 994 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 5: was Deron Bland, not this year at all. So you'll 995 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 5: see quite a bit of this game coming up, as 996 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 5: the Cowboys and the Panthers square off in a game that, 997 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 5: at least on paper, looks like there could be a 998 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 5: decent amount of fun scoring action. 999 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 2: Yes, in demonstrating your confidence in the ineptitude of the 1000 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 2: Dallas defense, you go there again for running back and 1001 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 2: then the second running back? 1002 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,359 Speaker 3: What got into this guy last week? 1003 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 2: I know Kenneth Walker was down, but holy cow, he 1004 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 2: got shot out of a cannon last week. 1005 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 3: Bruly? 1006 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, so my first running back is Chuba Hubbard. That 1007 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,239 Speaker 5: one's kind of short and sweet to the point here, 1008 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,760 Speaker 5: as Chuba has a real chance, guys to play ninety 1009 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 5: plus percent of the snaps this weekend. You know, you 1010 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 5: look at the backfield right now, No Miles standers still, 1011 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,400 Speaker 5: and last week Jonathan Brooks unfortunately tears his ACL again, 1012 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 5: just a bummer for their second round pick, who, of course, 1013 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,880 Speaker 5: was coming off of a torn ACL suffered last November. 1014 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,280 Speaker 5: Chuba's kind of last man standing in a great matchup 1015 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 5: against the Cowboys, which brings us next to Zach Charboney 1016 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,800 Speaker 5: who you're referring to Brownie who if no Kenneth Walker 1017 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 5: the third on Sunday, He's gonna be a real busy man. 1018 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 5: On Sunday Night, Charbonne was awesome. He had thirty eight 1019 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,960 Speaker 5: point nine Fantasy points, just a ridiculous amount for him 1020 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 5: last week, and I think that he ran really well. 1021 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,799 Speaker 5: Also worth noting that was the best in terms of 1022 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:02,439 Speaker 5: yards before contact create for that Seahawks offensive line, which 1023 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,320 Speaker 5: has not been consistent for much of this year, in 1024 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 5: the large part due to injury. There has been a 1025 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 5: lot of turnover and attrition there. Well, they finally are 1026 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,399 Speaker 5: looking a little bit more like the group they hoped 1027 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,759 Speaker 5: for coming into the season. That helped Sharbonnay payoff, who 1028 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 5: is right now priced at sixty seven hundred dollars. If 1029 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 5: Kenneth Walker the third returns to practice today and looks 1030 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,120 Speaker 5: good to go for Sunday Night, you do have some 1031 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 5: money available to pivot elsewhere. 1032 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,320 Speaker 1: And then also, and I looked at your wide receiver 1033 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 1: lineup and man, oh man, I totally agree with you. 1034 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: A couple of these guys for the Rams going back 1035 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 1: to the same two guys on the same team as 1036 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: unusual for daily fantasy? Am I wrong? 1037 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know you're not wrong. But when the matchup 1038 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,359 Speaker 5: tonight looks as good as it does, we'll have all 1039 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 5: three of the receivers here in this game, and you 1040 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,359 Speaker 5: guys saw the forty nine ers a couple of weeks 1041 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,839 Speaker 5: ago up and close, and it wasn't a great night 1042 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 5: for the passing attack for anybody, I guess other than 1043 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,440 Speaker 5: Josh Allen, who happened to score a receiving touchdown, but 1044 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 5: it was mostly a James Cook knight a couple of 1045 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 5: Sundays ago. But Dwan Jennings still was okay that night, 1046 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 5: and he has just been incredible this year when he 1047 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 5: has been a starter with Brock Purdy, and there hasn't 1048 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,320 Speaker 5: been whenever you wanted to describe those conditions as a 1049 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,479 Speaker 5: couple of Sunday nights ago. But Pooko Akua Cooper Cup 1050 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 5: really no explanation needed for these two, right, I mean, 1051 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 5: pookin a coua this season. If you take away the 1052 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 5: game in which you got hurt really early, and then 1053 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 5: you take away the game in which he got ejected 1054 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,200 Speaker 5: for punching somebody, you just count the full games. He 1055 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,040 Speaker 5: has more Fantasy points per game than anybody else amongst 1056 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:33,000 Speaker 5: all wide receivers in the NFL. Tonight this game, you know, 1057 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 5: with the way Los Angeles is playing offense, figures to 1058 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 5: be a decently scoring one. There is a night football 1059 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 5: can make you a little bit nervous sometimes, But I 1060 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 5: like all three of these players in the spot that 1061 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 5: they are in tonight, all right. 1062 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 2: And then at tight end one of the few I 1063 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 2: guess kind of reliable players in the New England offense. 1064 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 5: Yeah say, he's probably the only one I guess, maybe 1065 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 5: a Remandra Stevenson. But Hunter Henry has been solid again 1066 00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 5: this season for the Patriots. Patriots played Arizona this upcoming weekend. 1067 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,200 Speaker 5: A defense that has had some moments. You guys saw 1068 00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 5: them all the way back in Week one where Josh 1069 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 5: and the offense kind of willed them back from an 1070 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,360 Speaker 5: early deficit in that game. But a defense that I 1071 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 5: thought was kind of making some strides and then a 1072 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 5: gash this past week against Seattle. But Hunter Henry has 1073 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 5: been a solid, useful tight end. His numbers have really 1074 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,240 Speaker 5: gone up since Shrake May became the quarterback. No major 1075 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,360 Speaker 5: surprise there, as Drake May has lifted that offense to 1076 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 5: a different level compared to where it was, which could 1077 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 5: be eight percent. 1078 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:29,480 Speaker 3: So a Hunter. 1079 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,240 Speaker 5: Hendry It's just five thousand dollars, a very moderate price 1080 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 5: for a useful tight end. 1081 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 1: And now we book in the entire lineup with another 1082 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 1: Carolina Panther the defense against the Dallas Cowboys, and Cooper 1083 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: Rush continues to be quarterback for the Cowboys. And that's 1084 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,920 Speaker 1: what this really is all about, right. 1085 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, Adam Fielan has just found the old man strength again. 1086 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 5: He's over his past two games, had a target share 1087 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 5: of at least twenty five percent in both of those games, 1088 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 5: twenty one targets ten in one week, eleven in the other, 1089 00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 5: ninety nine receiving yards in one over all hundred in 1090 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 5: the other game. I mean, he's just turning the clocks 1091 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 5: back of late. And you know, for as bad as 1092 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 5: last year was in a lot of ways in Carolina, 1093 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,240 Speaker 5: one thing that did work really well is the Adam 1094 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 5: feelin connection with Bryce Young, because they had over a 1095 00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,879 Speaker 5: hundred catches last year between the two. I guess from 1096 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 5: Bryce Young to Adam Feelin so feeling playing well with 1097 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 5: Bryce Young under center. It's not an entirely new thing. 1098 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,839 Speaker 5: But because the way that Bryce Young's playing right now, 1099 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 5: he's so much more confident these days. He looks like 1100 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 5: maybe not a hey, I understand why he went number 1101 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 5: one overall player and you mortgage the future for him. 1102 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 5: But to me, it looks like, you know, an improving, 1103 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 5: ascending potentially you know, longer term option for Carolina under center. 1104 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,799 Speaker 3: And then finally we go to the defense, same game. 1105 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:49,399 Speaker 1: Same game. 1106 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 5: We just crank it out right. If some as good, 1107 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,720 Speaker 5: more is better. So the Panthers get the defensive not here. 1108 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 5: And you know, my general theory is like, let's not 1109 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,760 Speaker 5: spend too much money on the defense, but you're looking 1110 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,000 Speaker 5: for the turnover prone nature. You know, a lot of 1111 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,959 Speaker 5: the defenses that are on the more moderately priced side 1112 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,359 Speaker 5: of the scale this week are playing against good enough 1113 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,720 Speaker 5: offenses that I am just sort of shying away. 1114 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 3: This one is one. 1115 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 5: Where I feel like it's not a very good defense, 1116 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 5: but the offense they're playing is not exactly a freight 1117 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 5: train as well. So happy to kind of punt on 1118 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 5: defense and hope for I am full of sacks, maybe 1119 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 5: some turnovers. 1120 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: Here, good stuff, Field, And I gotta ask you too, 1121 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 1: as you see the Bills head to Detroit, and you know, 1122 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,920 Speaker 1: is there anybody or guys on this, you know, in 1123 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 1: these two games, I mean, this is a fantasy bonanza, right, 1124 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's gonna be some points scored in this one, 1125 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 1: both top two offensives in the league. 1126 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no doubt. Can't wait to watch this game. 1127 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 5: Pretty much everybody from this game, you know obviously, Josh. 1128 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 5: I mean, you're at the point now where you know 1129 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 5: that guy might e can almost single handedly win you 1130 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 5: a week with if he plays anything close to what 1131 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 5: he did last week. And that's not always going to 1132 00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,239 Speaker 5: be the case, right, I mean three touchdowns on the ground, 1133 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 5: through through the air. It never happened in a game before, 1134 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 5: but it was a reminder that there's no player who 1135 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,640 Speaker 5: brims more as a dual threat quarterback in different ways 1136 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 5: than Josh Allen does. At least he and Lamar Jackson 1137 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 5: kind of one or two of two I should say 1138 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:15,120 Speaker 5: in that category. Blushakir, so steady, so reliable. He's an 1139 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 5: excellent sounds like we'll see Keyon Coleman and Dalton cancaid 1140 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 5: back this week. Big for the offense. Dalton probably has 1141 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 5: a chance to be a starting tight end. And then 1142 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 5: for the Lions, Yeah, usual suspects. It's gonna be on 1143 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 5: n Ross, Saint Brown and the two running backs David Montgomery, 1144 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 5: Jamier Gibbs. It's a great game it's a great opportunity. 1145 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,360 Speaker 5: I understand their Chiefs Bills fans that are just points 1146 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 5: because the Chiefs from now two games up, even though 1147 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 5: the Bills did beat them that race for the number 1148 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 5: one seed, and you're maybe in some ways saying like 1149 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 5: it's kind of daunting to go play the Lions. How 1150 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 5: great those guys are, right, I think it's almost the 1151 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 5: perfect spot for the Bills in this regard is that 1152 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,680 Speaker 5: no excuses. You go back and what's there to lose? 1153 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 5: Right Like, if you go there, you don't take care 1154 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 5: of business on Sunday. It's not like people will be saying, wow, 1155 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 5: you've lost back to back games against teams that you 1156 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 5: had no business losing. To go there and you get 1157 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,360 Speaker 5: to be the hunter, not the hunt in which is 1158 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 5: usually where the Bills are in most weeks, especially after 1159 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 5: they had won eight straight games. So huge opportunity here 1160 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 5: for the Bills too, even if the number one seed 1161 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 5: proves out of reach because Kansas City holds serve you know, 1162 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 5: the rest of the way are close to it. Massive, 1163 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 5: massive opportunity to go out there and make a statement 1164 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:19,280 Speaker 5: on Sunday. 1165 00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 2: All right, Field, thanks as always for the time.

It's Damar Hamlet who's listed as 1184 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 2: a non participant today. Even though there was not practice, 1185 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 2: they still have to list participation designations for players, so 1186 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 2: Hamlin listed as a non participant due to back and 1187 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:23,480 Speaker 2: rib injuries. He was a full participant yesterday, so he 1188 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 2: becomes the third starting defensive back not participating in practice, 1189 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 2: joining Rasul Douglas and Taylor Rapp. Bill's I mean, tomorrow's 1190 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 2: injury reports gonna tell us a lot, but I don't 1191 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 2: like the way it looks right now. Your top two 1192 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 2: safeties not part of the practice setting. 1193 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 3: And your corner and your corner your starting corners. 1194 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 2: Now you can you can fill the starting corner roll 1195 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 2: a little more capably. But you've got a rookie and 1196 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 2: Cole Bishop and Cam Lewis at the safety spots. 1197 00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 3: Do you think about practice squad? 1198 00:59:58,360 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 6: Here? 1199 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 2: You got Kareem Jackson, Micah Hyde, Like I. 1200 01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 3: Just got back in the building. 1201 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:08,520 Speaker 1: That ain't is it? 1202 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 3: Is it time to This is not the signal. 1203 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 1: This is not good. 1204 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 3: It is not what the offense are going on. 1205 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 1: You can make you can make the case that they're 1206 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: given tomorrow a day of rest anyway because it's a 1207 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:21,680 Speaker 1: vet day and he needed a little break on his 1208 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,440 Speaker 1: back and his ribs. Like I get all of that, 1209 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 1: but he you need those reps and there's a walk 1210 01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: through practice and they've giving him a day off. Yeah, 1211 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 1: that is not good. You can't lose. 1212 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 3: Well, you know there is no practice today, so. 1213 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 1: Right, but it's an estimation of where they whether they 1214 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 1: would have practiced or not. And they're saying tomorrow would 1215 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 1: not have practiced had they been in the building. Yeah, 1216 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: that's not great. So how yeah this is that's that's 1217 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: a big development. Right, Three of your top five dbs 1218 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 1: that play nine of the snaps are not practicing because 1219 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: they're injured and two of them are at all. Yeah, 1220 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 1: that's bad. 1221 01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, like I said, safety's on the practice squad, 1222 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,440 Speaker 2: veteran Kareem Jackson. 1223 01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,560 Speaker 1: Against the Detroit Lions, the top scoring offense in the 1224 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 1: National Football. 1225 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:17,440 Speaker 2: Micah Hyde and last week's call up Lewis Scene. So 1226 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 2: the interesting thing about Lewis scene last week, Steve, he 1227 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,240 Speaker 2: gets elevated from the practice squad. Last week, he's dressed. 1228 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 2: He plays sixteen snaps on special teams. Right, but during 1229 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 2: pregame warmups he was warming up with the linebackers. 1230 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't know what to tell you. 1231 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 3: To see him as a hybrid type player. 1232 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:46,680 Speaker 1: He might be. Yeah, sure, but if that's if he's 1233 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,520 Speaker 1: he's not he's not getting on the field as a safety. 1234 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 1: If that's the case, he's not an option. Micah might be, 1235 01:01:54,680 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 1: but obviously you know cole Bishop is an option, Cam 1236 01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 1: Lewis is an option, Ingram is an option. Yeah, at 1237 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 1: corner yeah, elam is an option at corner all that stuff. 1238 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 1: It's all hands on deck. But they've got the bodies 1239 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 1: that are in there and they're gonna be able to 1240 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 1: do play the defense they want. But man oh man, 1241 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,680 Speaker 1: the communications not gonna these guys have don't take reps together. Now, 1242 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot of familiarity with watching these guys and 1243 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:25,760 Speaker 1: all of that, and they're they're going to know each 1244 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,320 Speaker 1: other really well, but they're not gonna have a lot 1245 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 1: of reps under their belt. There's gonna be a lot 1246 01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 1: of soul searching in this in this locker room, Casacks. 1247 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,920 Speaker 2: You know, you still have tomorrow to see where it's at. 1248 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 2: But to go from full to non participant, that's noteworthy. 1249 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: Well, you got tomorrow and Saturday, right, and that's so 1250 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 1: you got two or three days and that's a long 1251 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,760 Speaker 1: time in an NFL season. And plus if you're not 1252 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,520 Speaker 1: practicing like you're not today, that that gains a little bit. 1253 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: We'll see. But they the problem is too and you 1254 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 1: think about this and it sounds like a little thing, 1255 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 1: it's not. These guys aren't going to the building today. 1256 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 1: That means they can't get a massage, they can't get treatment, 1257 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,320 Speaker 1: they can't get stem, they can't get in the cryod chamber, 1258 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,000 Speaker 1: they can't do they can't do any of this that 1259 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 1: you know, they can't be administered to by any Yeah. Uh, 1260 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 1: they're missing a day of all that. Now they'll get 1261 01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 1: it now. It is a huge mental day. You'll be 1262 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,120 Speaker 1: able to sit at home and close your eyes and 1263 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 1: watch TV and veg after you know, the meetings are there. 1264 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 1: They'll have meetings virtually and all that, and probably extended meetings. 1265 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,920 Speaker 1: But man, oh man, there's nothing like spending a day 1266 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 1: at home. I mean, look at you and me the 1267 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 1: mental day. 1268 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,680 Speaker 3: Something tells me it's just a tad bit different. 1269 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so and I and it's no small thing either. 1270 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,920 Speaker 1: I've said it. I called it to back in the 1271 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 1: day when the first game ever they got moved to 1272 01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 1: Detroit was when Rex was coaching. Right. Uh, X was 1273 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:01,920 Speaker 1: the head coach in twenty fifteen. 1274 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,440 Speaker 3: Right, well, he was. 1275 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 2: The coach in twenty fifteen, But it was Moron's team 1276 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 2: that went to Detroit. They actually played against Rex Ryan's Jets. 1277 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 1: Team, that's right. 1278 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'll say this, and they blew them out. 1279 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 1: I called it. And this goes back all the way 1280 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 1: into my youth, Brownie, we had snow. We had like 1281 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,320 Speaker 1: two snow days in the week. When I was in 1282 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,880 Speaker 1: high school. We were playing our last game of the season. 1283 01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 1: We absolutely crushed that other team. We had two days all, 1284 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 1: we even practiced for two days, didn't see each other 1285 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 1: for two days, no school, no nothing. You can imagine 1286 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,600 Speaker 1: what that's like in high school. And it stayed with me, 1287 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,280 Speaker 1: and I thought, you know that it was good for us, 1288 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 1: and I'd seen other things happen to other teams as 1289 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:47,040 Speaker 1: well over the years. I'm not saying the Bills are 1290 01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 1: going to come into this thing and blow out the 1291 01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, but it's not always a bad thing to 1292 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,880 Speaker 1: have something like this pot And I mentioned it earlier, 1293 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 1: to have something like this pop up where the guys 1294 01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 1: have to rally around each other. 1295 01:04:59,600 --> 01:04:59,760 Speaker 3: Right. 1296 01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 2: I remember you and I were doing the show when 1297 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,680 Speaker 2: everybody came down hard on the Titans for breaking the 1298 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:09,840 Speaker 2: COVID rules, right starting an outbreak at the Tennessee facility, 1299 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 2: and they all got they all got marooned in their 1300 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,800 Speaker 2: homes for the week. And I remember you saying it 1301 01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:16,960 Speaker 2: on the show, this team's gonna come out ticked off 1302 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,560 Speaker 2: and they're gonna try to wax us. 1303 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 3: And they did. 1304 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 1: They did. 1305 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 3: It was forty two to sixteen. 1306 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,360 Speaker 1: That's why it happened. I don't know that this will 1307 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 1: turn into that, but it might. It's it's not a 1308 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,200 Speaker 1: bad thing when you get something extra thrown on your 1309 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 1: plate that's not physically taxing. Staying at home is not 1310 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,480 Speaker 1: physically taxing, right, I mean losing some guys to injury. 1311 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,919 Speaker 1: I'm tomorrow, Hamlin. Now you got three your top five 1312 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:47,800 Speaker 1: DB's questionable at least, if not out. And that's a 1313 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 1: bigger deal than getting a snow day. But having something 1314 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:56,000 Speaker 1: like this happen during the week is sometimes a little 1315 01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 1: bit of a tonic for a good in a good way. 1316 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely gonna bear watching. It's crazy, like the 1317 01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball finally gets healthy and that 1318 01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 2: right now you got the defensive side of the ball 1319 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:10,480 Speaker 2: nicked up. 1320 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 1: Now they're coming into this game, they're going against the 1321 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 1: number one team in the National Football the number one 1322 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,880 Speaker 1: team in the league, the number one team, top offense 1323 01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 1: in the league. You're just coming off a bad loss 1324 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,440 Speaker 1: where you couldn't have looked any You've never looked poorer defensively, 1325 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,680 Speaker 1: and now you've got a snow day, a storm hitting 1326 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,800 Speaker 1: your city, you can't even practice. You got three your 1327 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 1: top five defensive backs injured and not practicing anyway. All 1328 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,720 Speaker 1: this stuff is starting to pile up, and it's looking 1329 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,919 Speaker 1: like you got no you got you know, nobody thinks 1330 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna win this game, which is exactly it's exactly 1331 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 1: what you want everybody to think. Oh yeah, they're gonna 1332 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 1: hang fift, They're gonna hang a fifty on them and 1333 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 1: shut them out right now. Probably not, but that's that's 1334 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 1: kind of the mentality of it. Right you can, you're 1335 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,880 Speaker 1: freed up. Nobody expects you to win. You've got all 1336 01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,320 Speaker 1: this stuff, every excuse in the world for not being 1337 01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,480 Speaker 1: able to play well because you got the injured guys, 1338 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,919 Speaker 1: you're coming off a bad loss, you had snow days, 1339 01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 1: you couldn't get into the facility. It's like you're just 1340 01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 1: showing up on game day.

Uh. 1342 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,320 Speaker 1: It just unburdens you with the stress, you know. 1343 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 2: And speaking of that game, that is our topic of discussion, 1344 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 2: which we've yet to bring to the table at this 1345 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 2: point got to fill in the blank for you and 1346 01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 2: reads as follows.

At this point, you might say you 1356 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:08,200 Speaker 2: gotta get your starters back. 1357 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 3: In the defensive line up. 1358 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,800 Speaker 2: If she's saying at this point, but let's go to 1359 01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 2: the tweet sheet to see what some of your answers are. 1360 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,040 Speaker 2: Tweet sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the 1361 01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,840 Speaker 2: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Brian says, 1362 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,320 Speaker 2: we must stop the run on defense. We need to 1363 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,599 Speaker 2: be able to run the ball on the other side. 1364 01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,280 Speaker 2: So he's going with the old Marv levysm run and 1365 01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,519 Speaker 2: stop the run. It's going old school. 1366 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's gonna be a little more complex 1367 01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 1: than that. 1368 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 3: That. Yeah, I would agree. 1369 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,479 Speaker 1: The Lions can throw the thing all over the yard 1370 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 1: with a Unross Saint Brown and golf. But it's a 1371 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,320 Speaker 1: nice start, no question. And I'll say this too, you 1372 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: got to you gotta get on golf. You gotta get 1373 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,280 Speaker 1: him on the ground that they didn't sack Matt Stafford 1374 01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 1: at all last week. You know, I just and you know, 1375 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,599 Speaker 1: turn out some turnovers would be awesome. All that stuff. 1376 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 1: There's a lot that goes into a win and on football, 1377 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 1: and it's it's kind of tough to do a one word, 1378 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:11,160 Speaker 1: fill in the blank or one thought. Stopping the runs 1379 01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 1: a good start always in a football game. 1380 01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, dame right on the tweets sheet says defense, contain 1381 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 2: Detroit's running game and get pressure on Golf. On offense, 1382 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:25,800 Speaker 2: get the Baltimore playmakers, and continue to protect Allan. There's 1383 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 2: a lot of people that clearly respect the Lion's running game, 1384 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,720 Speaker 2: and I understand why. I mean, it is a two 1385 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,920 Speaker 2: headed monster. And I think the best thing that Detroit 1386 01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 2: does is they make it very difficult to make them 1387 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 2: one dimensional. 1388 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:46,759 Speaker 1: Right well, with Montgomery and Gibbs, David Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs, 1389 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,840 Speaker 1: they've got what they I'm sure they believe they're the 1390 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:52,880 Speaker 1: best running back tandem in the league, and you'd be 1391 01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,679 Speaker 1: hard to disprove it. I mean it's they've got an argument, 1392 01:09:55,840 --> 01:10:00,880 Speaker 1: and their offensive line has been very well review their 1393 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 1: they're plowing people and. 1394 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:04,960 Speaker 3: They might be getting their left tackle back this week. 1395 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, they've Yeah, you don't go. You don't go twelve 1396 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,679 Speaker 1: and one for no reason, right, I mean, these guys 1397 01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 1: are these guys have got it going on and they 1398 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, and they've been the flavor of the month 1399 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 1: for the entire year. Dan Campbell is everybody's favorite head coach. 1400 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:22,519 Speaker 3: Uh. 1401 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 1: They love his go Ford attitude. And I'll say this too, 1402 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,040 Speaker 1: it's all well and good and people love his go 1403 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 1: Ford attitude. They didn't love it so much. 1404 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:31,360 Speaker 3: Lash if it. 1405 01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,840 Speaker 1: If it works, everybody loves title. If everybody loved if 1406 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,599 Speaker 1: it works, everybody loves it. Everybody's on board. As soon 1407 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,720 Speaker 1: as it doesn't not so much. You can ask the 1408 01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:45,639 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills taking a quarterback sneak on the best play 1409 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,680 Speaker 1: with their best player and everything and not getting it 1410 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 1: once when you really kind of needed to get it. 1411 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,760 Speaker 1: It's not so fun then, So we'll see. And this 1412 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 1: is it's a fun era for the Lions. They are 1413 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:03,080 Speaker 1: in the midst of their best season in franchise history. 1414 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,320 Speaker 1: They're off to their best start in franchise history. So 1415 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to be a Detroit Lion 1416 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 1: fan these days. And and power to them. Dan Campbell 1417 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:12,639 Speaker 1: made it happen. 1418 01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 3: They're not. 1419 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. They got to They gotta keep playing well. 1420 01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:20,600 Speaker 1: And I've said it from the beginning. It is a 1421 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,679 Speaker 1: hard league to play good in for four months. 1422 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 3: Mm hmm. 1423 01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:30,040 Speaker 2: Greg says the defense must get two turnovers and the 1424 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 2: receivers must get quick separation on their routes. I mean, 1425 01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 2: if you're gonna be a little short handed on the 1426 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:40,720 Speaker 2: back end, turnovers could be a valuable equalizer. If you're 1427 01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 2: a little short handed, if somebody can somehow force some turnovers, 1428 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 2: that can be an equalizer and in turn give your 1429 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,599 Speaker 2: offense couple of extra possessions, probably put you in better 1430 01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,200 Speaker 2: stead to find a way to pull off an upset. 1431 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:56,160 Speaker 3: Right. 1432 01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 1: Well, that's the big that's the big unknown. I mean, 1433 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,800 Speaker 1: you can, like, like we said going into the Rams game, 1434 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 1: they'd get one every game. What's gonna happen if they 1435 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 1: dry up? And they did, they dry it up? And 1436 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 1: you lost by two. One turnover would have been the 1437 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,560 Speaker 1: tipping point in that game, just one m h. 1438 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 3: And you could almost argue that the block punt was 1439 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:17,480 Speaker 3: a turnover. 1440 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 1: In a way that we always considered him turnovers. Yeah, 1441 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 1: always considered them to get right, you know, you're giving 1442 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 1: them a touchdown. It's exactly what it is as a turnover, 1443 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,280 Speaker 1: because not only it doesn't count as a turnover in 1444 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:31,679 Speaker 1: the stats because you're punting it away to them anyway. 1445 01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,400 Speaker 1: So but when they block it in your face and 1446 01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 1: scoop it and score with it, Yeah, that's what it 1447 01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 1: amount it basically feels. Yeah. 1448 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:41,240 Speaker 6: Uh. 1449 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,960 Speaker 3: Joseph on the tweets sheet says defense needs. 1450 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:47,200 Speaker 2: To make a few stops, punts, turnovers, whatever, at least 1451 01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,880 Speaker 2: three of any one of those, and the Bills should win. 1452 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:54,120 Speaker 2: Of course, Joseph's assuming we're not punding it three times ourselves, right. 1453 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,639 Speaker 2: I don't know if he factored that into his equation. 1454 01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,200 Speaker 2: There we get three stops, we win. 1455 01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,240 Speaker 3: Well, I think it might take a little more than that, 1456 01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,120 Speaker 3: but yeah, I get what he's saying. 1457 01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:07,960 Speaker 1: You just got to get more stops than they do 1458 01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,880 Speaker 1: and cash in. I mean, the Bills are a very 1459 01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:15,920 Speaker 1: good red zone offense. You got to continue to do that. 1460 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,280 Speaker 1: You got to move the football, you got to find 1461 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 1: a way to stay on the field. And you do 1462 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:24,880 Speaker 1: have to protect Josh, although Josh is a unicorn, and 1463 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 1: even when you don't protect him, he's stiff arm and 1464 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,840 Speaker 1: defensive linemans and running for the first down. So he's 1465 01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of that going on as well. But 1466 01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,519 Speaker 1: you've got to find a way. In my opinion, you've 1467 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,320 Speaker 1: got to find a way to stay on the field. 1468 01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,559 Speaker 1: Offensively shortened this game. And I'll say this too. Our 1469 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:42,680 Speaker 1: good friend Judy from Buffalo called yesterday. She was right, 1470 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:44,640 Speaker 1: you got to run the ball and keep him off 1471 01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:48,720 Speaker 1: the field. I think there's some merit to that. You've 1472 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:52,040 Speaker 1: got to control the ball and the clock and the 1473 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 1: possessions in this game. 1474 01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just checking because a lot of people, 1475 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,479 Speaker 2: you know, think pressure on GoF is the key, and 1476 01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 2: I would tend to be I would count myself in 1477 01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:08,360 Speaker 2: that group because he doesn't do nearly as well under 1478 01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:09,559 Speaker 2: pressure as is the case. 1479 01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:10,400 Speaker 3: For a lot of quarterbacks. 1480 01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,080 Speaker 2: But he's only been sacked twenty three times in thirteen games. 1481 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:15,120 Speaker 2: That's less than two a game. 1482 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 3: It's not enough. 1483 01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 2: Even if you're hitting them a little bit in addition 1484 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,920 Speaker 2: to maybe getting a sack sacond a half. I mean, 1485 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 2: I think you got to knock the tar out of 1486 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:29,200 Speaker 2: this guy. And I know we asked to Orlovsky earlier 1487 01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:31,679 Speaker 2: in the week, what do you do with this bootleg 1488 01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,479 Speaker 2: passing game? I mean, Matthew Stafford ran it too perfection 1489 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,640 Speaker 2: against the Bills defense last week, and we know that 1490 01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 2: Goff is asked to do that more than just occasionally. 1491 01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 2: It's I wouldn't say it's quite the staple of the 1492 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:47,320 Speaker 2: Lions offense for the Rams, but it's pretty darn closed. 1493 01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 3: I mean, they use it a healthy amount. 1494 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,400 Speaker 1: Right, And if you are talking about getting sacks, Detroit 1495 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 1: is they rank eleventh in sacks per attempt and of 1496 01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:03,000 Speaker 1: course Buffalo's number one. Yeah, but yeah, it's it's a thing. 1497 01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:10,080 Speaker 1: But yeah that you Yeah, I like our guy under 1498 01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 1: pressure more than theirs. 1499 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:15,640 Speaker 3: Yes, but getting pressure is the thing. That's the thing. 1500 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:16,120 Speaker 1: Not easy. 1501 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,439 Speaker 2: So all right, we got to take a break here, 1502 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:23,240 Speaker 2: But when we come back, we've got some more comments 1503 01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 2: coming your way from the tweetsheet. 1504 01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,400 Speaker 3: We also will have from the coach's office. 1505 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,280 Speaker 2: What is coming out of there this week for a 1506 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 2: game of this magnitude, Steve and I will put our 1507 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:36,800 Speaker 2: heads together on that.

I would say just another contract, right if 1568 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,519 Speaker 1: they signed him to another three years the deal that's big. 1569 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,719 Speaker 2: He's thirty six, so anything that's more than two years, 1570 01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:13,840 Speaker 2: I think is big. Whatever the dollar, I. 1571 01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,240 Speaker 1: Think he signs another contract. 1572 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:16,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I do. 1573 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:19,880 Speaker 1: I think he signs another contract, And for me and you, 1574 01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,599 Speaker 1: whatever he signs for is big, so right, But yeah, 1575 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:25,320 Speaker 1: I think he does get another contract. 1576 01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,559 Speaker 3: I would tend to answer true to this also. 1577 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,479 Speaker 2: I mean he has had somewhat of a renaissance season 1578 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 2: with Mike Thomas and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. 1579 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,080 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin has said some glowing things about what he 1580 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:44,639 Speaker 1: has meant to the room. And in a place like Buffalo, 1581 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:49,320 Speaker 1: a place like Pittsburgh, place like Detroit, place like Baltimore, 1582 01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:56,719 Speaker 1: culture means something and those clubs will do their best 1583 01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:58,760 Speaker 1: not to upset that apple cart. 1584 01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 2: And that's kind of how the Steelers have always operated, 1585 01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:07,559 Speaker 2: right yep O, rash decisions, keep on keeping on. So yeah, 1586 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,679 Speaker 2: I would anticipate he gets another contract. 1587 01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:11,719 Speaker 3: NFL true false. 1588 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:17,400 Speaker 2: Number two Mike McCarthy will save his job as Cowboys 1589 01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,920 Speaker 2: head coach true or false. 1590 01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way in God's green earth 1591 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy is coaching the Cowboys next year. Really, 1592 01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:33,320 Speaker 1: why this is the last year of his deal? Not 1593 01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,320 Speaker 1: a hide in her hair of negotiations they're going or conversations, 1594 01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:38,760 Speaker 1: whether they talk all the time about it or what. 1595 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 1: Whether they laid it out for him in the beginning 1596 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:42,720 Speaker 1: of the year saying, listen, you've got to do a 1597 01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,320 Speaker 1: B or C to keep your job or what. I 1598 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,479 Speaker 1: don't know if any of those things happen, but they 1599 01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:51,120 Speaker 1: have not signed that guide to an extension. They are 1600 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:56,719 Speaker 1: in the Let's just remind let's remind you. The Dallas 1601 01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:01,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys are sitting at five and eight thirteen out of 1602 01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 1: a sixteen team conference. I think Mike McCarthy is not 1603 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:06,880 Speaker 1: coming back. 1604 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:08,720 Speaker 3: I think they only have one win at home too. 1605 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:10,840 Speaker 1: They have zero wins at home. 1606 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:13,400 Speaker 2: Oh okay, I thought they might have got one last 1607 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:17,400 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati they beat the Giants at home. 1608 01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 3: I think let me see, I think they have one 1609 01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:25,439 Speaker 3: home win at at at. 1610 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:27,880 Speaker 1: Yes, they beat the Giants at home twenty seven to 1611 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:29,800 Speaker 1: twenty on Thanksgiving. 1612 01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:31,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, one home victory. 1613 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 1: They just got beat by Cincinnati at home. 1614 01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:35,840 Speaker 2: So let me throw this pass you and tell me 1615 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:37,920 Speaker 2: what you think. I'm gonna play Devil's advocate here because 1616 01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 2: you said there's he's not gonna save his job as 1617 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,000 Speaker 2: Cowboys head coach this year, all right, let me pose 1618 01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:44,439 Speaker 2: these three. 1619 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: I think Jerry had that plan all along. That's why 1620 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 1: he got it, got it with the roster, said we're 1621 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:51,599 Speaker 1: gonna go with what we've got. No free agent signings. 1622 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't put it past him. Let me let 1623 01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 2: me just pose these to you as Devil's advocate. Number one, 1624 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 2: that team is playing harder for him than Giants players 1625 01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:07,639 Speaker 2: are playing right now. They're still playing hard even though 1626 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:08,760 Speaker 2: playoffs are a pipe dream. 1627 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:10,599 Speaker 3: Number two. 1628 01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 2: That Cowboys job I think looks a lot different than 1629 01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:16,200 Speaker 2: it did ten years ago. 1630 01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 3: Like there's a lot in that. 1631 01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:23,000 Speaker 2: You got an owner that I don't know if he's 1632 01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:26,320 Speaker 2: as sharp as he used to be and is still 1633 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:32,200 Speaker 2: calling the shots. And then on top of that, and look, 1634 01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 2: I know it's the Dallas Cowboys, but I don't know 1635 01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 2: that that job is as attractive as it used to be. 1636 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,000 Speaker 2: You're in cap jail with your quarterback who's coming off 1637 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:42,960 Speaker 2: an ankle injury. You don't know what that's gonna look like, 1638 01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:46,240 Speaker 2: season ending ankle injury. That's the second season ending injury 1639 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:47,439 Speaker 2: he's had in the last three years. 1640 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,120 Speaker 3: And then you're. 1641 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 2: Devoid of talent outside of Micah Parsons and Ceedee lamb. 1642 01:22:56,200 --> 01:23:00,040 Speaker 2: You have a handful of elite talent, but nothing in 1643 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,639 Speaker 2: the middle. There's no meat and potatoes to that roster. 1644 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're going to be able to 1645 01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,920 Speaker 2: attract the type of coaching candidates you're hoping to attract. 1646 01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,800 Speaker 2: Look again, I know one of thirty two jobs, someone 1647 01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 2: will hot take the job. But are you getting choice one, 1648 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:17,040 Speaker 2: two or three. 1649 01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:17,840 Speaker 3: I don't know if you are. 1650 01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:25,559 Speaker 1: If you move on from McCarthy, yeah, maybe there might. 1651 01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,679 Speaker 1: The job may not be attractive. They don't hire obvious 1652 01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:34,280 Speaker 1: candidates anyway. Mike McCarthy was not an obvious candidate when 1653 01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 1: they hired him. Job one for a head coach is 1654 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:41,080 Speaker 1: how the owner feels about him. The owner's deeply involved 1655 01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,920 Speaker 1: in every aspect of the organization. Jason Garrett lasted a 1656 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:48,120 Speaker 1: long time in Dallas because he managed his relationship with 1657 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones extremely well. They're still close friends. They're still 1658 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:59,280 Speaker 1: good friends. That is job one for Dallas Cowboys head coach. 1659 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 1: And as far as find as somebody say, yes, you 1660 01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:06,720 Speaker 1: know you add enough zeros onto that contract, somebody's gonna 1661 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:13,599 Speaker 1: say yes, there's no cap on coaching changes. And you're right, 1662 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:18,040 Speaker 1: they do have some salary cap issues and some roster issues, 1663 01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,000 Speaker 1: no question, but every team will do that will who 1664 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 1: are changing head coaches. Having said all of that, I 1665 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,679 Speaker 1: still think I wouldn't get I would not be surprised 1666 01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:35,559 Speaker 1: if Jerry Jones doubled down and swept the whole place clean, 1667 01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:39,759 Speaker 1: all the way to the corners and started from scratch. 1668 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,120 Speaker 1: That's I don't feel, you know, as much as he can. 1669 01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:47,880 Speaker 1: So I think that's the plan. I think he's gonna 1670 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:49,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna tear it down, build it one last time, 1671 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:51,120 Speaker 1: see if he can make a run out of in 1672 01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:51,679 Speaker 1: his eighties. 1673 01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:55,800 Speaker 3: Okay, I tend to agree. I think McCarthy's cooked. 1674 01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,519 Speaker 2: It's just too undisciplined a football team to believe that 1675 01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 2: they're going anywhere, even if they do have everybody healthy. 1676 01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:06,400 Speaker 2: They're just they make mistakes every week that very often 1677 01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:07,719 Speaker 2: cost them football games. 1678 01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:08,960 Speaker 3: Even when they. 1679 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:12,719 Speaker 2: Call the right play at the right time, the players 1680 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:13,760 Speaker 2: find a way to mess it up. 1681 01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 3: It's not sustainable, all right. 1682 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,840 Speaker 2: That's NFL True Falls presented by Petron Tequila, the official 1683 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,439 Speaker 2: tequila the Buffalo Bills.

For 1703 01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:31,799 Speaker 2: the Bills to get a win over the Lions, blank 1704 01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:37,599 Speaker 2: must happen. Carly says our defense has to pressure Goff. 1705 01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 2: Josh Allen needs to be a unicorn again. 1706 01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,120 Speaker 3: I don't know if he needs to be with Coleman 1707 01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,360 Speaker 3: and Concave coming back in the lineup. What do you 1708 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:46,880 Speaker 3: think about that? 1709 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,160 Speaker 1: I would rather him have a game like Matt Stafford 1710 01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:51,120 Speaker 1: did last week, you know. 1711 01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:54,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, not don't little record from the run game. 1712 01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 1: Right, don't get me wrong. I mean he can score 1713 01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 1: another six touchdowns if he wants. I'll take that two right. 1714 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:00,080 Speaker 3: But but but. 1715 01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,080 Speaker 1: Given the fact that it's it's a once in a 1716 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:10,280 Speaker 1: lifetime and a half occurrence, I think I'd be happy 1717 01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:14,639 Speaker 1: with that, you know, just uh, spread the ball around. 1718 01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:16,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna feel so good for these 1719 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,720 Speaker 1: guys to play indoors on dry surface after living in 1720 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,880 Speaker 1: a in a snow snow globe for three or four days. 1721 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:27,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, Vince on the tweets sheet says, let it snow 1722 01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,360 Speaker 2: with Taylor Rapp and Rasseull Douglass on the men. Could 1723 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,759 Speaker 2: that mean there's a possible Micah Hyde and Kyrie Elam 1724 01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,000 Speaker 2: call up on the horizon for this game, especially considering 1725 01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,920 Speaker 2: how talented the Lion Lion's roster is. 1726 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,160 Speaker 3: Time to use Hide's experience. 1727 01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:45,679 Speaker 2: High's experience is a valuable thing, but he's been training 1728 01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,040 Speaker 2: in a gym for the last four months. 1729 01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:51,160 Speaker 3: Not on a football field. It's a it's a that's 1730 01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,840 Speaker 3: a rapid ramp up. I'd be a little hesitant to 1731 01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:54,160 Speaker 3: do that. 1732 01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 1: I don't think the plan is for Micah Hyde to play. 1733 01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 1: But they're gonna have col Bishop ready, cam Lewis ready, 1734 01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 1: all those guys, don't. They'll have enough guys and Kyrie 1735 01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 1: Elan will be all on, you know, on go as well. 1736 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,360 Speaker 1: So they've got enough guys and I think they like 1737 01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 1: the athleticism that those guys bring better than my gun. 1738 01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,000 Speaker 3: The reason we bring that up is because tomorrow. 1739 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:19,000 Speaker 2: Hamlin was added as a non participant to practice today 1740 01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:22,160 Speaker 2: the Thursday practice report, so he joins Rasul Douglas and 1741 01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:26,320 Speaker 2: Taylor rep as non participant. So tomorrow's injury report will 1742 01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:29,360 Speaker 2: tell us a lot. Joe says, running the ball, no 1743 01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:33,000 Speaker 2: pre snap penalties and when the turnover battle go bills. 1744 01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:34,680 Speaker 2: That's a little easier. This is said than done on 1745 01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,519 Speaker 2: the road, But they've been doing a pretty good job 1746 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 2: of keeping penalties to a minimum. 1747 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and particularly the three snap ones, you know, the 1748 01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,720 Speaker 1: pre snap one, not three snap pre snap ones have 1749 01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,760 Speaker 1: been pretty good, pretty good, So I'm I'm with you. 1750 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:50,120 Speaker 1: Turnover battle is. 1751 01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,680 Speaker 2: Huge, and I think we'd all like to see the 1752 01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 2: running game play more of a role this week than 1753 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 2: we saw last week, and I understand why it had 1754 01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 2: to go away. You know, you're down seventeen at two 1755 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,800 Speaker 2: different points. That's it for us today. Steve and I 1756 01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:06,000 Speaker 2: will be back, hopefully in studio at one Bill's Drive tomorrow. 1757 01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:08,120 Speaker 2: For those of you out in the snow, good luck, 1758 01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 2: stay safe. We'll see you tomorrow at one
