25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: the Bills game in Calgary started like eleven am. So

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: let me get We're kind of getting Nancy to find

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,919
Speaker 1: a spot where it's got it on. All these bars

Speaker 1: have the ticket, right, so you're gonna go in and

29
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: find them. We go to one and they're like, you know,

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: you can't figure he couldn't figure it out. Say we're out.

31

Speaker 1: We're all thirteen of us. We just like pull out,

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,960

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: like I'm getting Nancy, because right, you know what your right,

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: so you know how it is you let's go. So

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: we're walking out and said, well we could try this,

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: And I'm like, if anybody I've done this a lot,

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: you travel with a big group. I got a big family,

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: and all those years we went to the Super Bowl,

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: we'd bring people with us. We went the Pro Bowl,

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: we'd bring people with us. So I'm used to we

41
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: have done this in the past where we travel with

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: big groups, right, and there's certain things you gotta know.

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go out to eat, you tell them

44
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: where you're gonna go eat, and tell them what time

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna be there, and then get because you can't

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: like wait for everybody. You can't say, well, who wants

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: to eat that? Well, I'm like pizza, Yeah, well now

48
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't really feel like steak that. And no, just

49
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: tell them where you're gonna eat and tell to be there, right,

50
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: all right, So so you assume control. Somebody's got to

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: take control. He might you may look like a jerk

52
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: once in a while because you say no, no, no no,

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: we're to add that. You might just make a call,

54
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: but you gotta do it. Look like a jerk, right,

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: you gotta do it for the take it for the team.

56
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,240

144
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: want to settle down and talk about this game. I

145
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: spent last night doing what I usually do Tuesday and Wednesdays,

146
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: which is make a spotting board up with the Cowboys,

147
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: and watched a couple of Cowboys games, including the game

148
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Watched that in detail, and went back

149
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: and watched their October twentieth, the win against the Eagles.

150
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: They were pretty dominant in that one, Steve, they got

151
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: some guys. This is the most talented team the Bills

152
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: have faced. I'm not saying the best team, but the

153
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: most talented team at all levels, both sides of the ball.

154
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: Special teams will leave aside for a while. I remember

155
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: this talented, talented team. I'll say this about it. And

156
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that much about the Cowboys. I know that,

157
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, I played against him in the Super Bowl twice,

158
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones bought the team and he overpaid for

159
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: it back then. Oh my gosh, she paid one hundred

160
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: and ninety million bucks for him or something like that.

161
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: People were laughing at him, right so you can laugh

162
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: and see what that means now. But he started being

163
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: the general manager right then, right, hired Jimmy Johnson, They

164
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: made that herschel Walker trade. They did all this stuff.

165
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: He started, you know, learning it by this time. I

166
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: gotta say this about Jerry Jones. People don't like him.

167
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: He's kind of brash, he's out in the media, he

168
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: does all this stuff. Let me tell you something, that

169
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: guy gets some players. He's got some guys, and I

170
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: got to tip my hat to him. He for whatever

171
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: else he is, that guy assembles a really good roster.

172
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: And as a result, Jason Garrett's under some serious pressure,

173
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 1: particularly this year. And I've said it before him this show.

174
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: One of the reasons Jason Garrett has been able to

175
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: survive as long as he has and not taking that

176
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: team to the super Bowl is because his real ability

177
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys head coach is to handle the relationship

178
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: he has with Jerry. I mean, I think he handles

179
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Jerry as well as any head coach handles an owner

180
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: who's that active. Yeah, And I think that's why his

181
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: longevity has been what it is given the fact they

182
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: haven't been to the Super Bowl. He maybe on the

183
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: shortlist now though. And you know you saw what we

184
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: had the sound by yesterday Jerry Jones after the game

185
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: in New England and continue reports. It's funny. There was

186
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: a report late last night that I think it was

187
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: from a guy you're having on the show tomorrow Edward

188
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: who said, all right, so they're not going to fire

189
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett. Jason Garrett befour Thursday's game, and I thought, Oh,

190
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure Garrett's breathing easier now it's it's Monday night.

191
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: He's not going to get fired in the next two days.

192
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: But there's all of that going on in the background.

193
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: What does it mean to the Bills. I'll ask Steve

194
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: about that. Probably not much, But there is all of

195
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: that going on, and that's kind of the framework in

196
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: which this game comes from. But when you look at

197
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: the game itself, Steve, which is what I try to

198
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: focus on when I get ready for these games. The

199
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: talent is amazing that the Cowboys can put on the field.

200
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper fifty six catches, Randall Cobb one of the

201
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: best slot receivers. Michael Gallup has what forty five six catches?

202
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: Second year guy Michael Gallup. Dak Prescott is good, not great, good,

203
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: and he's only been sacked twelve times in eleven games

204
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: this year. The offensive line is sensational, loaded with first

205
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: round talent. First rounder is tyround Smith at left tackle,

206
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick at center, Zach Martin at right guard. Lyle

207
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: Collins would have been a first rounder. He came out

208
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: obviously in that special draft. And the left guard, Connor Williams,

209
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: is a really good second rounder. Ezekiel Elliott one of

210
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: the top two or three running backs in the game. Defense,

211
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: defensive ends to Marcus Lawrence and Robert Quinn. They together

212
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: they have like fifteen sacks. They're good, They're really good.

213
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: They don't play well and their special teams holds him back.

214
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: It did Sunday in New England. But they've got talent

215
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: all over the place. This is gonna be a really

216
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: good test and a good challenge. I don't know if

217
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: the Bills are overmatched. I don't think they are. I

218
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: think Buffalo is pretty good too. But Matt the talent

219
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: assembly that the Cowboys put on the field is impressive,

220
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: and when you start to look at him in depth,

221
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: it's really impressive. And oh, by the way, next week's gay,

222
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: we'll probably be saying the same things about the Baltimore Ravens.

223
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: They might look if the Cowboys are the most talented

224
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: team the Bills have faced this time. Next week we

225
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: might be talking about the Ravens as the best team

226
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: the Bills that faced. Yeah though, Yeah, no matter how

227
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: this game goes, the Ravens are gonna be the best.

228
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are playing as well as anybody

229
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: in the league. I think it's right now. If you're

230
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: picking horses, you're picking the Niners and the Ravens to

231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: face each other in the Super Bowl. If you're anybody

232
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: outside of the fan base, that's right. Yeah. And I'll

233
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: make this prediction about this game the Bills day after

234
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: tomorrow in Dallas. If the Bills managed to win that game,

235
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett does not survive the weekend, probably, you're probably.

236
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: I think there's just a lack there's a we know this,

237
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: there's a lack of respect for the Buffalo Bills as

238
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: a as a good organization, a good team, uh getting

239
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: it together? Eight and three. Aside, nobody believes the Bills

240
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: can beat anybody because they haven't beaten anybody with a

241
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: winning record. Forget about the Broncos game and the Dolphins game.

242
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: Those don't can winning team they'd be is the Titans? Right?

243
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: They beat Tennessee? Uh the mark and that it was

244
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: the Marcus Mario to Tennessee Titans, right, It's not the

245
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill and then and the kicker missed all those.

246
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: So the Bills don't get any respect, which is why

247
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: if they go in to Dallas and beat the Cowboys

248
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: that Jason Garrett won't survive it because they'll they'll have

249
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: been beaten by forget about eight being eight and three

250
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: or at that point nine and three. If the Bills win,

251
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: the Bills aren't a good team. I mean, that's just

252
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be. And if the Bills beat Dallas,

253
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: they still won't have beaten. They'll want to beat in

254
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: one team with a winning record because Dallas will be

255
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: six and six at that point. So you're not getting

256
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: this is a This is not a game that's gonna

257
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: say anything about Buffalo if they win it. If they win,

258
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: it'll be like, hey, they're nine to three. Then people

259
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: are gonna say, well, you know they keep doing it.

260
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: You know they have to acknowledge it. But they're not

261
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: going to give the Bills in respect over that. So

262
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: you're talking about this thing. Let me let me disagree

263
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: with these and I think maybe I'm not the sacreen

264
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: you're saying if the Bills win, they If the Bills win,

265
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: they will not get any credit for it nationally you're

266
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: talking about because let me tell you. I'll tell you what.

267
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: If they go down to Dallas and beat this handing

268
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: the team, I'm giving them full grades. I'm giving the

269
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: Bills full marks. At nine and three, they will be

270
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: and I think the look, I think the Bills are

271
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: getting better, and I think that's happened in a large

272
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: way in the last couple of games, the easy opponents,

273
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: but still they handled Miami and they handled Denver, being

274
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: both by seventeen. If they win this game, I don't

275
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: care what we talked about this yesterday when you were here.

276
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: I don't care what the national narrative is about the

277
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Do they belong here? Are they this good?

278
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this on this show too with Kyle brand.

279
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't care what that is because I know this.

280
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: If they go down there and win, look, I already

281
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: think they're for real. I think it's another step forward

282
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: for a pretty good Buffalo team. If they win this game,

283
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: every wins step forward, I think at this point, and

284
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: I think this is a point where this is I

285
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: think this is obviously a much bigger test than anything

286
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: they faced coming up, since well, maybe since the Philly

287
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: game Cleveland, we talked about their bad record and they're

288
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: good talent, and I can't I want to think back

289
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: on that game and the Bills didn't play well there,

290
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: But I think that was a pretty talented group the

291
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: Bills lost to in Cleveland a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,

292
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit like that this week. That's

293
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: kind of a talented crew that's you know, had a

294
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: few stumbling. The Cowboys are six and four, six and five,

295
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: six and five right now, so yeah, I mean they've

296
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: they got hit in the mouth again. They lost to

297
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: the Jets at home. Yeah, I don't know if I'm

298
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna watch that game this week. I don't want false

299
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: security about the Jets are playing a lot better than

300
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: they were opening weekend when when when Sam was coming

301
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: down with Mono, we knew who the Jets are. But yeah,

302
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: but this is a this is a Dallas team that's

303
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: really good. But I don't it's not going to be

304
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: like a Dallas team that's look, you know, the Satan

305
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: three like the Bills are, right, but I still don't

306
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: They'll still I'll tell you here's how it's gonna happen. Murph.

307
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: So if, for instance, if the Bills were to find

308
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: a way any way they could to win this game,

309
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: the story is still not going to be about Buffalo.

310
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: It's going to be about Jason Garrett getting fired again.

311
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: You're talking about the national story. Just to be clear,

312
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: nobody will care. Nobody, they will go, It'll go completely

313
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: under the rab I don't care. Yeah, you shouldn't care.

314
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: You shouldn't care. But that's what's going to happen. You know,

315
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: that's what happened. It'll it'll totally overpower. And who's going

316
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: to take over for him? You know, who's going to

317
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: be the next callip? It was some crazy look. Dallas

318
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: is a weird football market, obviously, and it's they love

319
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: the soap opera, I think. And I've reminded of that

320
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: this week as I follow along the Cowboys and there

321
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: was one weird speculation that maybe veteran tight end Jason

322
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Witten would be in line to be the next head

323
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: coach of the Dallas Cowboys. And I saw the headline

324
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: and did not read it. I said, come on, come on,

325
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: right right, that's but that's what goes on in Dallas.

326
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: That's what they love in Dallas. That kind of soap opera.

327
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: It's like it's almost like, uh, Dallas is a constant

328
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: TV show that is akin to the Oscars presentations. It's

329
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: a red carpet every every game is a red carpet

330
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: celebrity show up, you know, photo op. It is a

331
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: show business behind the scenes look all the time. And

332
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: and I know was go ahead, Cowboys, if we want

333
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: it like that look. And one more thing before we

334
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: dig into this show. Three weeks ago, going into the

335
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland game, we talked a lot on this show about

336
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: how that game was the Bills culture versus the Brown's talent.

337
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go there again this week, but

338
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of similar. The Bills have this team

339
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: culture and they've they maximized it. People will laugh, even

340
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: in town people laugh. What are they talking about Bills culture.

341
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the team, the plays for each other.

342
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking about John Brown sitting here yesterday talking about

343
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: they've got a team that takes care of each other,

344
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: that loves each other. How comfortable he is here. Didn't

345
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: think it would happen this way. You know, John Brown

346
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: sat right here yesterday and had said that any meant

347
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: the team he talks about a team that loves each other.

348
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: That's the Buffalo Bills. Here's the Cowboys with all those stars,

349
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: all that talent, of decent six and five record turmoil

350
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: in the coaching ranks, a second guessing of the head coach.

351
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: They can have it. They've got this nice new stadium

352
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: that looks like a luxury shopping mall. They can have it.

353
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: They can have it. I want the Bills going there

354
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: and beat him, and I think they can't. See if

355
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: I think they can, well, it's gonna be a good

356
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a really good game. I

357
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: think the Bills can compete with anybody, no question about it.

358
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play well and limit mistakes, and

359
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to force some mistakes. I'll tell you

360
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: this Dallas team is big, strong, physical, and Zeke Elliott

361
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: is a hammer. You're gonna have to tackle him early

362
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to get used to doing it

363
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: a lot. They don't miss a trick in the running game.

364
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is massive and mobile and it's gonna

365
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: cause some problems upfront for the Bills. So I think

366
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: when you look at this Dallas team six and five

367
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: or not, they're impressive, particularly that Dak Prescott has had

368
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: a season that has been, you know, under the radar

369
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: really good because of the fact that they've a win

370
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: loss win loss kind of thing. But they are they

371
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: are really talented. Actually, actually we got some sound about

372
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. He's got thirty four hundred yards passing already. Yeah,

373
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: with five games, six teams left of play. Hey, um,

374
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: so today's show, let's talk about that. The Bill's practicing

375
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: right now. It is an abbreviated week here. This is

376
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: going to be an abbreviated practice. We will not go

377
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: live out to Chris Brown to practice, just not enough time.

378
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: But Chris Brown's Chris Brown's gonna come in after practice

379
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: or after he's excuse from practice and about fifteen minutes,

380
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: sit right down here, tell us what he saw, what

381
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: he can tell us about what he saw, and we'll

382
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: talk about this matchup the Bills and the Cowboys. Chris Brown,

00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: We're gonna get Cody Ford in studio here, the Bill's

385
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: second round draft pick, Cody Ford went the distance one

386
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: hundred one hundred percent of the snaps at right tackle

387
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday against Denver. A good matchup for him against

388
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: Von Miller, and he gets another tough one against either

389
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: de Marcus Lawrence or Robert Quinn or Michael Bennett, the

390
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: former New England Patriot. They are good upfront defensively to

391
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Cody Ford's going to join us here deep

392
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: into his rookie season. Talk about that two o'clock hour.

396
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: about this test for the Bills. We'll talk with him

Speaker 1: about that. He's going to join us at too. So

398
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: they're outside right now. Mitch Morris, according to Sean McDermott,

399
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: going to be limited today with his hand injury from Sunday.

400
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: McDermott was asked about his availability for Thursday and McDermott said,

401
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: will no more after practice. Wide receiver Robert Foster limited

402
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: today with his hamstring issue out today, tie and sacky

403
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: with his ankle. He will not practice as they said

404
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: last week. He will be week to week. Cowboys have

405
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: injury concerns as well. They're gonna be without nose tackle

406
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: Antoine Woods this week. He's got a knee issue. They're

407
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna be without it, appears linebacker Laton vander Esh, second

408
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: year linebacker, very good player for the second consecutive week.

409
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: It's the abbreviated week, the short week of practice. The

410
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Bills have to travel as well. Sean McDermott was asked today,

411
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: just in the last hour or so, how do you

412
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: get a team ready to play with such a short

413
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: time to do it. Here's mcdermot's answer. Handful of exposures,

414
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: experiences in my career, UM, and the coaching staffs uh

415
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: sample as well. So we've we've leaned on each other,

416
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: the experience that we've had together, the uh the things

417
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: we've learned from those experiences, and then we've just tried

418
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: to take advantage of our time and be efficient with

419
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: our with our time. Here look at the end of

420
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: the day, UM, you know, you get to a point

421
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: where you're saying, hey, how much can they handle? And

422
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: they got to go play and so, UM, you know,

423
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: that's a delicate balance for us as a coaching staff

424
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: and and for them is is what what do we

425
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: prioritize during a week like this where you're challenge from

426
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: from a time standpoint. It's a challenge, no question about that.

427
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: And there's travel challenge as well. The Bills longest or

428
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: at least second longest trip of the year. You you,

429
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: you know your Bills teams years ago had a lot

430
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: of different weird games, right. There was Thursday Night football

431
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: back then as well. Right, Yes, short weeks, short weeks.

432
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: We played on Thanksgiving in Detroit, boards I remember, um nine. Yeah,

433
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: And it's it's tough to bounce back, particularly depends too

434
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: on I mean, you got to think about I think

435
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: about a guy like like our boy Lorenzo. Yeah, he said, Yeah, Like, dude,

436
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't even get back on the back in the

437
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: saddle until Thursday. You know. Now he's got to play

438
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: a game here with us Friday, he said, Man, I

439
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: was thinking today Friday about how shaky I felt Thursday

440
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: in practice. He's a last week. Yeah, and now I

441
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: gotta look at and play on Thursday, right, Yeah. And

442
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: he played a lot of samps this past Sunday. Yeah.

443
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: And it's and you spend most of your time and

444
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: we say it a lot, but it's really true. They'll

445
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: spend more time recovering this week than they will practicing.

446
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: They'll spend more time getting massages, old cold packs and treatments,

447
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: ice packs, warm packs, cold bath, hot tub massages, the

448
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: whole nine yards. They'll do it again and again and again,

449
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: over and over and over, trying to get their body

450
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: to rebound after a tough game that they had this

451
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: last week at home, and I did you know the

452
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: break for them was that that was at home. They'd

453
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: have to travel again and all that, take a flight.

454
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,040

Speaker 1: this is a team they haven't played, right, most of

469
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: these guys have never played against the Counts. It's going

470
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: to be interesting a lot of but the Bills don't

471
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: go into it blindly. And McDermott just said that. You know,

472
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: they've got Sean and some of his coaches who have

473

Speaker 1: fifty big game, nationally televised game. But can I say something, Steve,

497
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: I've already said that it's okay. I've already said that

498
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: the national perception of the Bills does not interest me

499
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: that much. I understand what people see and hear, and

500
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: I understand the disregard that people have for the Bills.

501
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: I understand that. I don't know why it is. But look,

502
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: I've heard people say this week. I've heard Buffalo people

503
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: say this week, Oh, the Bills finally get to the

504
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: big time now with a Thanksgiving game in Dallas. Oh,

505
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: the Bills have not been ready for this kind of

506
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: game for years and years. They would have been embarrassed

507
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: in any other time to play a Thanksgiving game in Dallas. No, no, look,

508
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: get out of your head listeners, viewers, this is the

509
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys are not an elite team and they haven't been

510
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: for a while. Right, Jason Garrett hasn't taken this team

511
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. And I looked it up. Last

512
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: five years, Cowboys have been okay. The Bills have been

513
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: okay in the last five games. You know how many

514
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: wins the Cowboys have more than the Bills over the

515
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: last five years. Four wins over five years or five years,

516
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: it's like forty eight wins for Dallas. We sprinkled a

517
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: six and ten are in there. Yeah, and they had

518
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: a really good a really bad year in a couple

519
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: of good years. But it's not like the Bills are

520
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: going up to the varsity level this week. It's not

521
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: like the Bills are making a pilgrimage to the mountaintop

522
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: this week. Look, it's a talented team, but they're an

523
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: NFL team, just like the Buffalo Bills. Don't get caught

524
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: up in this Oh, the Bills finally get to play.

525
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: They would have been embarrassed had they gone to Dallas

526
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: any other year. No, not really. The Cowboys are just

527
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: they're a good team, They're a talented team. They're six

528
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: and five, two games worse than the Bills record. But

529
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: this is not the mountaintop. It's not. It offends me

530
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: almost when I talk people talk about it. Yeah, I'll

531
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: tell you this too, if you if you ever been,

532
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: you've been to Dallas games before right game, it's a

533
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: new stadium one game. So I've been. I've done a

534
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: couple of those games. I was working with Westwood one

535
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: Radio and I was a sideline reporter for the national

536
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: broadcast of a Monday night or a Sunday night game

537
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: for Westwood one. And so i've kind of I've done.

538
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: I think I did a Washington Redskin game, and I

539
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: did a fill if the Eagle game there. You know,

540
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: all these you know NFC East games that are always

541
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: on Nashville. So I'm sitting there and before the game,

542
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm walking around looking watching the guys warm up, kind

543
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: of you know, just doing my job kind of thing,

544
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: watching pregame thing, watching for you know, kickers, stuff and

545
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: interactions between teams and you know, former teammates or whatever.

546
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what it was almost the atmosphere

547
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: pregame in a Dallas stadium and that stadium on a

548
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: on a night primetime game was almost it was almost

549
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: show biz. Yeah, it was all. It was show business. Uh.

550
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is on the sideline with a huge entourage

551
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: of people in suiting ties and and the ladies were

552
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: all dulled. I mean it was like they were going

553
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: to a formal dinner almost right, and they were on

554
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: the sidelines on the field. They were on the field

555
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: milling around talking about things. And then there would be

556
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: fanfare music and then a couple of cowboy guys would

557
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: walk out of the side tunnel out behind the bench.

558
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: They would have fanfair music, right, and they on the

559
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: big screen TV. They would show the guys as soon

560
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: as they came out of the locker room and and

561
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: you know music. It was unbelievable, the show biz quality,

562
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: the television quality production of just the pregame warm ups. Uh,

563
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. And if you got guys,

564
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: and let's let's face it, you worry about players kind

565
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: of being able to put that out of your head,

566
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: particularly young players when you go in there. You don't

567
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: play there twice a year or once a year like

568
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the red Skins. Uh. And you know the

569
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: giants there, they see it all the time. They're kind

570
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: of used to it. Guys like like Devin Singletary, guys well,

571
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: guys liked Tremaine Edmonds. These guys who haven't been in

572
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: there before, who are going to say, Wow, what are

573
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: they doing? What is all this? And it's a distraction. Yeah,

00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: it's a it's a huge distraction. It's like, what am

Speaker 1: I gonna be able to warm up? Here? Is there?

576
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: If I run over in this art party? There were

577
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: these people in suit and ties or I mean, I

578
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: got you know, this is our area here. It's it's

579
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable yeah, and stupid. Yeah. And it's lights and

580
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: smoke and it's it's it's blown. Yeah. And the stadium

581
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: is you know, you can't you can't take a jacket

582
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: off in the stadium without putting your elbow against a

583
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: flat screen. I mean, everything is televised, Everything that is

584
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: available is on those screens all the time, and it's

585
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: it is an enormous You get the enormous feeling. You're

586
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: not part of a football game anymore. You're part of

587
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: a part of a program, and it's they can have

588
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: their show breaknast and it can. But it's a huge

589
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: ball here over here's a huge distraction when you're trying

590
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: to get to the field. There's you know, the bills,

591
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: if the opponents are trying to get to the field,

592
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: and there's this family, you can't even There's so much

593
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: going on. You almost have to concentrate as much in

594
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: the pregame warm ups as you do during the game

595
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: just to get it done. It's it's it's an issue

596
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: I think it is you got to be ready for

597
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: as a team and something that if you'd spin it

598
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: the right way, it can be motivation. If that's the

599
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: future of the NFL, I weep for the future. Seriously.

600
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: We got football going out over here eight times a

601
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: year and it's fun and it's great, and the crowd

602
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: is into it and they're there to watch a game

603
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: than that they're to be seen or to be dressed up,

604
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: or to to look at you know, who's looking at me?

605
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Who are the celebrities here?

606
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: We got football going on over I know we're up

607
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: against the break, but this is if this is fascinating

608
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 1: for me to talk about because I've been in almost

609
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: every venue in the NFL, and the pregame atmosphere is

610
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: unique to each stadium. Obviously a little similar because it

611
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: is a football game and you got these stuff going on,

612
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: but it's all unique in the vibe and what the

613
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: team puts out there is their pregame, you know, entertainment interest,

614
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: teaser kind of things. And you go to the in

615
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: Oakland and the Old it's a costume party and it's

616
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: about the face. It is about yes, it's about the

617
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: fans making a show more so than is the guys

618
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: on the field warming up or anything like that. It's

619
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: it's unbelieving. There's all kinds of unique things that happen

620
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: in all of these statues and Dallas, though I think

621
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: Dallas is set apart. It's a different kind of atmosphere.

622
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: I do not and I can only imagine what it's

623
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: going to be like on that Thanksgiving. I do not

624
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: look forward to that. I look forward to kickoff to

625
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: a game which I think is going to be a

626
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: good game, in a competitive game. But the pregame blooney,

627
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: I didn't look for You're gonna be two hundred yards. Oh,

628
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: I know. I've been in that booth. It's awful, it's

629
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: terribly The game is gonna be a rumor. I know

630
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be third hand information. We'll do our best.

631
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: Chris Brown say, anybody to join us Bills inside or

Speaker 1: from Buffalo bills dot Com, Bill's Insider. He co hosted

643
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: the show yesterday. He's doing this, Adam Schefter. I'm playing

644
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: with my phone while I'm on the show, just to

645
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: impress this what do you got a grocery list? Coming in?

646
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: And Jay to turn down my headphone streaming in my

647
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: ear right now, Welcome to the show, Brownie. You were

648
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: just out of practice. Beautiful day. Let's start. We always

649
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: start with weather when you're out there. It's a gorgeous

650
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: Dan Archer Park today. It is unseasonably mild. Yeah, sunny. Yeah,

651
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: so I passed GM Brandon being walking out when I

652
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: was escorted back in, and you know, we had a sweatshirt. Yeah,

653
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: it was great out there, unusual for late nove So

654
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: what would we ask you if you were out there?

655
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: We would probably start with the offensive line, with the

656
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: injuries and the upheaval there, what did you see that

657
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: you can talk? So no Tie and Seki out there

658
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: not practicing, and I really don't anticipate he's going to

659
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: be ready, especially on a short week, so he's probably

660
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: out of the mix. So that means Cody Ford again

661
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: right tackle from wire to wire as he did last

662
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: week on the show. Today after practice, Man, there you go,

663
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: so you can buzz him about, you know, DeMarcus Lawrence

664
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: and the funny he'll have over there with him and

665
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: then uh, and he's not even leading the team in sacks,

666
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: it's Robert Quinn on the other side, and then Mitch

667
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: Morris is out there. He was stretching, but we really

668
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: didn't see much After stretch. He did line up with

669
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman. So, as coach said at the press

670
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: conference today, I think it's it's a wait and see

671
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: it truly is, because what we're talking about is a

672
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: functionality issue with his snapping hand. The finger injury is

673
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: on his snapping hand. That's why he did not go

674
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: back into the game last Sunday. And so what you

675
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: have is a pressure point issue when you're holding the football.

676
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: It's not the thumb. I know that. What finger it

677
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: is I do not know, but it's not his thumb.

678
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: So there's still pressure points that are important to have

679
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: on the football when you're snapping it back, especially in

680
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: STU And if you have a finger issue on your

681
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: snapping hand, the whole thing feels different, the operation feels different.

682
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: So the question is a kenn he adjust and still

683
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: be accurate on shotgun snaps where they can trust him

684
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: in a game, and if not, he may not be

685
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: able to play. And I was talking to Spencer Long

686
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: in the locker room yesterday because he used to be

687
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: the center for the Jets last year and he had

688
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 1: a broken middle finger was a nightmare too that he

689
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: was trying to tape up and play with for five weeks.

690
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: And he said, I cost myself money last year by

691
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: trying to play through it because it got so bad

692
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: to the point where he got pulled. He got pulled

693
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: out of the game and had to play guard the

694
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: rest of the year because he could not consistently inaccurately

695
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: snap the ball to Sam Darnold. Then he said, I'm

696
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: going to tell you right now, this is the worst

697
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: injury for an offensive lineman to have. I said, well,

698
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: hold on center, I said, the worst injury. He said,

699
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: it's bad because of the psychological game it plays on you,

700
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: because you look at the other guys in the locker

701
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: room and you're like, you're sitting for a finger, Like

702
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? So it's that machismo

703
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: thing where it's like, man, I want to be out

704
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: there and playing. It's just a finger. But at the

705
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: same time, you really genuinely half to weigh am I

706
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: costing my team by trying to snap a football when

707
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: I know I can't consistently do it? That that broken

708
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: finger is the exact reason why I Spencer Loong as

709
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill. Yeah, that he tried to go out

710
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: and snap it to Sam Darnold. They had like three

711
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: or four snaps in a game that were like over

712
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: to the Miami. They lost the game because of what happened,

713
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: and that soured the organization on Long because he was

714
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: trying to play through it and it took. And it's

715
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: also one of the reasons why they got a new

716
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: head coach because because what's the difference, what's the head coach?

717
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Last year? Todd Bowles wouldn't make the change. Spencer Long

718
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: was gonna keep trying to do it, and Todd bulls that, listen,

719
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: just go to guard. We'll get somebody else to snap

720
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: up the ball out of a a shotgun because Spencer Long

721
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: was launching it over his head. But he had Spencer

722
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: longs and Buffalo Bill. Yeah, he had some good insight

723
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: though on it. I figured, you know, I remembered him

724
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: trying to fight through that with a bad finger last year.

725
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: So I talked to him yesterday in the locker room,

726
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: and yeah, he had some good insight. He said, Look,

727
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: Mitch decided on Sunday that it was not smart for

728
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: him to go back in the game and try to

729
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: snap when he was having trouble doing it. He goes,

730
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: I thought he made the right decision. You can't put

731
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: your team in jeopardy just because you want to be

732
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: out there for your team. You have to be big

733
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: enough to say, I'm probably doing more harm than good

734
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: here for the benefit of our offense. I'm gonna have,

735
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: as much as it pains me, I'm gonna have to

736
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: stand here on the sideline and just be ready in

737
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: the event of an emergency. And that's what happened. So

738
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: we don't know what Mitch Moore's status will be, and

739
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to guess just yet. No,

740
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm not guessing. And I don't know that we'll have

741
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk to coach again before the game

742
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: because tomorrow is like a Saturday for all intents and purposes,

743
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: there's no media access. And he talked before practice, which

744
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: means he's not talking after practice today. But coach basically

745
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: said today they want to see how he does at practice.

746
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: How well can you snap? Have you made is your

747
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: finger okay? Or have you made the adjustment in the

748
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: way you snap? To still be accurate with shotgun because

749
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: they're in shotgun a lot. Yea. So, and he was

750
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: this close Sunday to return into the game. He was

751
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: out on the field to return to the games. He

752
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: went to the locker room, probably got X rays, came

753
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: back out, but then never went back in again. Yeah,

754
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 1: and I it's it's a tough call as a player

755
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: when you want to go and let's face it, for

756
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: guys like me who ran around to all, it was

757
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: a toe injury for us, right, I mean, because you

758
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: couldn't run, if you can't can't play and all that stuff.

759
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: But for an offensive lineman, those guys can play with

760
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: just about anything but its center. Like for instance, Mitch

761
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: moorese could probably play guard, yeah you know what I mean,

762
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: but he can't play his position anymore. Right, So if

763
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: you wanted to have him up as a backup guard, yeah,

764
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: you could probably activate him. He could probably play and

765
00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: handle it. But it's just because you could. You imagine

766
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: what would have happened in that Denver game if you

767
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: had like three snaps skyrocket over you know what I mean, turn,

768
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: it would have killed you. And that's what happened to

769
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: the last year it's too big a risk. Chris Brown,

770
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: Bills insider, just off the practice field, and I don't

771
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: want to dwell line injuries. And it is a short week.

772
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: Robert fostered with a hamstring pull in the Sunday's game,

773
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: going to be limited today. They may have a move

774
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: to make there and maybe what activate Duke Williams if

775
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: Foster can't go through. I think it depends on the

776
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: game plan. It's clear to me that the approach that

777
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: this team has taken on offense the last couple of

778
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: weeks is to play as fast as possible and put

779
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: as much speed on the field as possible. Duke Williams

780
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: is not a speed player, right, But really you're getting

781
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: down the depth chart here at the receiver position. So

782
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: Duke Williams could very well be up, But it wouldn't

783
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: surprise me if Andre Roberts is the guy that's rotating

784
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: in more with the receivers when they go if they

785
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: go no huddle, eleven personnel and do some periodic substitution

786
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: series to series, it might be Roberts who's the fourth

787
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: man in in that rotation this week. Even if Duke

788
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: Williams is up, it could have something to do with

789
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: were they fitting special teams too? Robert Frost has been

790
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: doing a lot of special teams on coverage units and

791
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I don't know if Duke Williams

792
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: can make an interchange into that he was on punt

793
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: a team. I know he was on punt team earlier

794
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: in the season in practice, I saw him on punt team.

795
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he was on He wasn't on any

796
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: of the return teams. He was on punt team, and

797
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: I'll have to chat go back and check my notes

798
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: and see if he was on kick coverage, but I

799
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: don't think he was on that either. Chris, get to

800
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: work on our Twitter question today, would you what's the

801
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: Bill's biggest challenge? You don't have to get to work

802
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: on this, but do this for me, no the bit

803
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: and we'll offer you our Twitter suggestions here. You don't

804
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: have to follow it. The Bill's biggest challenge when they

805
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: go up against the Cowboys, their their pass game, Dak

806
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: Prescott and those dynamic wide receivers that they have one

807
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: of them held without a catch Cooper on Sunday. Is

808
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, two time NFL rushing champion? Is it the

809
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys pass for us those defensive ends. Something else. What's

810
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge of Bill's face this weekend? It's Thursday. Yeah,

811
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: I really believe that Dallas is just gonna go back

812
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: to basics. I think we have to anticipate that on

813
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: a short week. Both teams, for that matter, are going

814
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: to be scaling back the volume of their game plans

815
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: just because you're not getting the practice reps on the

816
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: field this week, So scale down game plans. And I

817
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: think that Dallas tries to punch Buffalo in the mouth

818
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: and run the football and take a page out of

819
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's book and what they did here in Buffalo about

820
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: a month ago. So that's the approach I expect them

821
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: to take. People have already talked about how Ezekiel Elliott

822
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: doesn't look like quite the explosive running back that he

823
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: used to be. I don't know if I'm ready to

824
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: pass that judgment yet. Twas Yeah, so I'm not buying that.

825
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm not buying that, And so I believe that you've

826
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: got to stop Elliott, make them one dimensional, all the

827
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: while knowing your job is far from over at that point.

828
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: The thing that keeps rolling in my head is with

829
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,760
Speaker 1: all the talent that Dallas can put on the field,

830
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively. Um, you've got to win the

831
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: majority of the matchups. It's about winning the matchups this

832
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: week in my opinion. Yes, the Bills play team defense,

833
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: and that's probably part of what enables their defense to

834
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: handle some of the difficult matchups. But realistically, you got

835
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: you gotta be solid across the board against this team

836
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: because if you shut down Cooper, the job's not over.

837
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: You got Gallop over here, and you got Cobb in

838
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: the slot, and we haven't even talked about the tight

839
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: ends yet or Isekiel Elliott coming out of the backfield.

840
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: So there are so many things that have to be

841
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: accounted for. It's stunning to me that this team is

842
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: six and five. It's stunning, stunning when you look at

843
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: all the athletes they can put on the field on

844
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. You like, many observers skipped

845
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: over what I believe is the strength of that offense line. Yeah, yeah,

846
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: Ty round Smith, first rounder, Connor Williams, second rounder, Travis

847
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: fed Fedrick, first rounder, Zach Martin, first rounder Lyle Collins

848
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: should have been a first under a couple of those

849
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: guys are beat up. Lyle Collins and Zach Martin been

850
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: limited this week and they're just really banged up, but

851
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna played. Yeah. There's twelve and eleven games, right,

852
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, there. They've been good for a while.

853
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: It's been been one of the top two offensive lines

854
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: in football for probably the last four years. I made

855
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: this assertion in the last segment, Brownie, And because there

856
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: is a lot of pressure on Jason Garrett to get

857
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: the most out of this roster that as you said,

858
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: and we've all seen it's really talented. Um, if the

859
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: Bills go in and beat the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, does

860
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett survive the weekend? M M? Who do they

861
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: have on that coaching staff that is capable of serving

862
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: an interim role? Did you see it? Marinelli? Did you

863
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: see and we're going with Rod Marinelli the defense? Oh right,

864
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: that's that guy can't even handle the broadcast, but he's

865
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: goin to run a football team. Wow, the stuff will

866
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: have officially hit the fan at that point. I don't

867
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: know that he has an ant to turn to on

868
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: the current staff, So I think he gets to the

869
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: end of the year. His brother, his brother Judd Garrett

870
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: is there? Did he play here set? Did he play

871
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: with you? Yeah? He was? He didn't play that Judd.

872
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: You got John was the third brother, right, there's a

873
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: there's a Dallas combo. If ever there was one, a

874
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: guy named Judd would probably Here's could be Kidnah, No, yeah,

875
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be him. It would be Rod Marinelli to

876
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: get him through the end. They're gonna change. If they're

877
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: gonna change head coaches, that means they're throwing the towel

878
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: in on the season. So Rod Marinelli's fine because then

879
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: there would not be any pressure to keep him at

880
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: the end of no matter what he does. I don't

881
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: think they do because if you lose your six and six,

882
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: now you're what are you in a dead heat with

883
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: with the Eagles at that point? No? The Eagles lost

884
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: last week, so what are they five and six? Yeah,

885
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: they're a game behind him? Okay, no are they do

886
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: so they would pull even and the division is still

887
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: in play. Do you want to upset the Apple card

888
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: and completely blow it up at in the division league? Yeah?

889
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean as bad as six and six is for

890
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: what was expected of this football team. I don't know

891
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: if you blow it up there. Yeah, if they lost

892
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: their six and six, So the best Philly could do

893
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: after this week is six and six if they win,

894
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: so you're still at the top of the division. I

895
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: don't think they deep six the coach. I think it's

896
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: going to happen at the end of the year, but

897
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it happens at the end of this week.

898
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: This game, I think it's a winnable game, but I

899
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: think a lot of things have to go right. A

900
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: lot of things have a couple of weeks yeah, And

901
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: I think where you can get this team is when

902
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: you're if you're sweating the details. Because this Dallas team

903
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: is not a team that sweats the details. I think

904
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: they take their talent for granted too much, and because

905
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: of that, I don't think they sweat the details and

906
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: the small stuff that can sometimes swing the momentum of

907
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: a game, swing the balance of a game. And that's

908
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: part of the reason why they lost last week. They

909
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: don't sweat the details. They made some key mistakes on

910
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: special teams last week, certain down and distant situations where

911
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: they were on the field, recognition of time and score.

912
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: These kinds of things seemed to slip past this Dallas team.

913
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: So knowing how methodical coach McDermott and his staff are

914
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: in their approach to the game each and every week.

915
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully they're sweating the details along with their players and

916
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: it makes a key difference somewhere in this football game. Chris, Thanks,

917
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: We'll see you on the plane tomorrow. You got it.

Speaker 1: more one bills. I've presented by Kalaida Health I from

921
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes close.

922
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show, John Murphy, Steve Task, you're

923
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: here on this Tuesday afternoon, the Bills getting set to

924
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: play the Cowboys. See if I got to mention this

925
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: and it's it's um. You know, Hank Bullet passed away

926
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: last night. You did not play for Hank infect You

927
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: arrived here? What a week after he left? Right after

928
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: five days after he was he really released on a Monday.

929
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: I was hired on a Friday night. Okay, did you

930
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: ever meet Hank? Never met him? Good guy and I

931
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 1: just want to say this about him, just for a minute.

932
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: Hank was of course head coach of the Bills twenty

933
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: one games parts of eighty five and eighty six, four wins,

934
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,479
Speaker 1: seventeen losses. Pretty bleak record, but a really good guy

935
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: and I got to know him. And obviously a different

936
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: era of Bills football and NFL football in the mid eighties.

937
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: He came here as a decorated college coach. You know,

938
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: he had a great career as a player in coach

939
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: at Michigan State, was a great defensive coordinator in the

940
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, and came here to try

941
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: to work that magic with Kay Stevenson's Bills. In eighty five,

942
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: Kay gets fired, Hank gets promoted. It was the logical

943
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: choice at the time. Did not work out. He was

944
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: not a good head coach, but you know what, he

945
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: was not a clown. And I hear a lot of

946
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: guffining the late Hank Bulla, you know, in recent years

947
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: and even since he passed overnight. He was not. He

948
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: was a pretty good guy. And he treated me while

949
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: I was twenty six, twenty seven year old broadcaster, and

950
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: he just said, yeah, you're the guy. Let's talk, you know,

951
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: and he would talk he Fridays in that era on Fridays,

952
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: there was no media. Here was myself Milk Northrop from

953
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo News and we were that was it on

954
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: Friday's covering the Bills and maybe four or five others

955
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: on Wednesday media Day. But on Fridays Hank would take

956
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: us into his office in the stadium after practice, sit there,

957
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: eat pizza and wings. They had pizza and wings with

958
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: the players. Dip his pizza into his blue cheese, which

959
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: sort of freaked me out. I was said, WHOA, I

960
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: never see anybody do that and talk to us about

961
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 1: the game, you know, off the record, deep insight about

962
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: the game. And he knew what he was talking about.

963
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: We're sitting there one Friday, the Bills are playing the

964
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 1: Bengals and Mouse McNally. You know, this is hanks old team.

965
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: Mouse McNally was the Bengals offensive line coach, and Hanks

966
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: talking about Mouse and I think they'll do this. I

967
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: think that he goes, well, let's call him. Hank picks

968
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: up the phone right office and doubts up Jim McNally

969
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: and just puts him on speakerphone and now the four

970
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: of us are talking about Sunday's game. He was amazing,

971
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: never yet and this hit me when I heard about

972
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: Hanks passing, and I really feel honestly about this. So

973
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: he was let go in November when you came November

974
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: of November eighty six, right, yeah, yeah, eighty six. And

975
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: it was a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. And Hank,

976
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: as he was always open, I'm working in radio, a

977
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: w be Ian radio. Hank, can I come out in interview? Yeah,

978
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: I come out out the housemurk whatever. He didn't want

979
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: to do that, but he did it, you know, because

980
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: that's the way he was. And we could talk and

981
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: we do a nice interview, and he said all the

982
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: right things, and we get done, and he was I

983
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: was talking about how well, there's a silver lining here,

984
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: you know. Um, I get a chance to be home

985
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving for the first time in like thirty four

986
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: years now. Hank was like a fifty five year old

987
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: guy at the time. He had little Kinzie, had his son,

988
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: Chucky Buller, he had another son, what was his name,

989
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: oh Shane, all good players. But Hank said, I have

990
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: been home. I have not been home for Thanksgiving. I'd

991
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: work and come home and go to their beds and

992
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: kissed him on the cheek and wish him good night

993
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: at Thanksgiving, he said, that's a silver lining. He was

994
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: a real good family guy, loved his family. His family,

995
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: they're all Michigan State. Hank played for Duffy Doherty and

996
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: coached with Duffy Doherty at Michigan State, and just a

997
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: really good quality guy. And I don't want that to

998
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: go unmentioned. And I don't want it to I don't

999
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: want people to remember Hank Bullow some sort of punchline

1000
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: to a joke. He was not. He was a really

1001
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: good defensive coach. He was not a good head coach

1002
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: for the Bills. He would probably tell you that. But moreover,

1003
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: he was a really good guy and a guy who

1004
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: loved his family, took care of his family, a guy

1005
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: who loved Michigan State. I mean, he was almost out

1006
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: of place being anywhere but East Lante in Michigan. That's

1007
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: how much he loved his college. And I salute him

1008
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: and his family. I wish them well. I send along

1009
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: the best I can because I think he was a

1010
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: pretty I know he was a pretty good guy, and

1011
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,439
Speaker 1: I think he was a really good defensive coach. Thanks

1012
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: for let me say that, yep. I never had the

1013
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: pleasure of meeting him. I got here after he was gone.

1014
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: Of course, when I got here, Marvle the marv Le

1015
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: the era took over. The only closest I got to

1016
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: Hank Bullo being coached by him was his staff was

1017
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: still here when marv Ye took over an eighty six,

1018
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 1: and they retained those staff members until the end of

1019
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: the season. But never met the man himself. So he

1020
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: was good. He was a really good guy. And he

1021
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: took you know, again, thirty four years ago. I'm a

1022
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: young kid just trying to learn what's going on here,

1023
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: and Hank he didn't take me under his wing, but

1024
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: he certainly treated me well and with respect, and I

1025
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: appreciate that all these many years later. All right, more

1082
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: it's because there was a game and you were gone,

1083
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: and now there's another game. I feel Look, it's essentially

1091
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: When you get a little holiday weekend, little doo, a

1092
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: little Christmas. He starts thinking about Christmas after Thanksgiving, you know,

1093
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: and stuff. So start moving. Yeah, move the calendar a

1094
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: little bit by Yeah, I was. I really enjoyed watching

1095
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: the Bills game on TV and here in the broad

1096
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Harland, Rich Can I worked with them all seventeen

1097
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: weeks last year. Great broadcast crew. Rich works really hard

1098
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: out of Kevin is a great voice, great excitement, really

1099
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: engaged in in every game and brings it out, you know,

1100
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: really good. It was really a lot of fun to

1101
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: watch this game. The Bills looked like a really good

1102
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: football team. We were talking to it and I was

1103
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: just reading one of this um from a guy named

1104
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: Mike Clay, and I don't I don't know Mike Clay.

1105
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: It was with the NFL the Bills for the remaining

1106
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: four games that they are, five games that they have,

1107
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: the Bills have the thirty the hardest remaining schedule of

1108
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: any team in the National Football League. And you can

1109
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 1: say what you want about how easy their first half

1110
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: of their schedule was. And I think they did benefit

1111
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: from playing some teams that were struggling to get it together,

1112
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: but they won games while they were learning and improvement.

1113
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: And I think, particularly for Bills fans who watched this

1114
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: team weekend week out, you got to feel good about

1115
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: the progress they've made this season and how they're coming

1116
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 1: together starting to play better and better. The last two games,

1117
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: notwithstanding against the Dolphins, Okay, and the Denver Broncos, with

1118
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: the number four team in the NFL, the Bills hung

1119
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: twenty points on them, and they you know, the Dolphin.

1120
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,479
Speaker 1: The Broncos couldn't score, but that game was over after

1121
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: the second field goal in the first half. But the

1122
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: Bills kind of piled on them. I mean, they beat

1123
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: them by seventeen points. That's a large nart margin in

1124
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 1: the today's NFL. You gotta feel good about this team

1125
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: going forward. They held it together through some tough stretches.

1126
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: They got hit in the mouth by a couple of

1127
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: really good teams and a couple of teams who gave

1128
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: them their best effort. But they've won eight games. Coming

1129
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 1: into the last month of the season, you gotta feel

1130
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: really good. A month to night, a little more than

1131
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: a month, you gotta feel really good about where they

1132
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: have evolved to. I'm not saying they're finished product, and

1133
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to play some of their best football

1134
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: in this last five weeks of the season to continue

1135
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: this stretch, to continue on a winning path. But man, man,

1136
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: you gotta feel like this is what you wanted them

1137
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: to do. You want them to give themselves a chance.

1138
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: You got five games left, eight and three is a

1139
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: great spot to be. Let's see. I'm ready to tee

1140
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: it up on Thanksgiving. I think this is I want

1141
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: to see him measure up to this team. I'm interested

1142
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: if you agree with me on this. Steve. Look, I

1143
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: know who they played, I know where they've been, I

1144
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: know how they've won. I've seen it all, called them all,

1145
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: talked about it here every day, five days a week.

1146
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: So I know where they've been, and I know what

1147
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: lies ahead in terms of the strength of schedule, for sure,

1148
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: I know that. But you know what these last two

1149
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 1: games Miami and Denver have put me in the frame

1150
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: of mind, like, yeah, I know I had I think

1151
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 1: the Bills, the way they're playing right now, I think

1152
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: they can beat any one of these five remaining teams. Yes,

1153
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: the Jets, they've already done that, but I think they

1154
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: can win Thursday in Dallas. I really do. It's a

1155
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: winnable game for Buffalo. I think Baltimore coming in here

1156
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: after the great performance last night and another tough game,

1157
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: right They've got San Francisco coming up this Sunday. I

1158
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: think Baltimore is a game the Bills might be able

1159
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: to get. At the Steelers, they can win that for sure.

1160
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: At the Patriots, they only lost by six year they

1161
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 1: held them, you know, the sixteen points, played him almost

1162
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:52,720
Speaker 1: as tough as anybody. And then of course the Jets.

1163
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is the Bills I think have stepped

1164
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: up their game enough evidence by the last two wins.

1165
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: I know who they played that I think they can

1166
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: win any one of the and maybe and probably more

1167
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,359
Speaker 1: than one of these remaining five games. I really believe that. Yeah,

1168
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: I no question, I agree with you. It's been fun

1169
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: to watch this team. And that's one of the things

1170
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: that I don't know, you go back, you know, the

1171
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: last fifteen twenty years, it's been it's been hard to

1172
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, there's been moments where this team has looked

1173
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: pretty good, but this is a this is a season

1174
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: that they put together and there's always warts on every season,

1175
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: but this is a season where the only wart is

1176
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: the fact that nobody else is any good. The Bills

1177
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: look pretty good. They're tough to beat for anybody. You

1178
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: got one team that kind of lumped them up, and

1179
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: that was the Philadelphia Eagles. The Patriots struggled with them here.

1180
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: The Cleveland game was a was a really hard fought

1181
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: game where you missed a couple of few goals it

1182
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: could have been the difference, you know, that kind of thing.

1183
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: This is a team that's really tough to beat, and

1184
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are gonna find that out this weekend.

1185
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Bills can go in there

1186
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: and and run off and leave the Cowboys, because the

1187
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: cow Boys have that, you know, that big, strong, bully

1188
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: of a running game with a huge offensive line. We're

1189
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to defend against it. But man, oh man,

1190
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see it. This is you know,

1191
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 1: whether the Bills have You know, a lot is being

1192
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: said about what this last month and five weeks of

1193
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: the regular season is going to mean to this team,

1194
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: and I think they're right. I think it's gonna be

1195
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: a really yardstick for how far they've come and I

1196
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: think I think the Bills will measure up. Whether they

1197
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: win a lot of games or not, They're gonna earn

1198
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 1: some respect for being a team. That's just as we've seen.

1199
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: I said, they may not be great, but they're tough

1200
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: to beat. Hey, what do you think about Thursday's game?

1201
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: What's the biggest challenge the Bill's face against the Dallas Cowboys.

1202
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: That's our Twitter poll today getting good response on I

Speaker 1: time NFL rushing champ. Twenty seven percent of you say

1207
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 1: it's there passing a tech Dak Prescott and their great receivers.

00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: Nine percent say it's the Cowboys pass rush on defense,

1209
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,160

Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1212
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. Let's go to Stephen Archard Park. Hello, Steve, welcome,

1213
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: You're on the air with this all right? Hey, doing

1214
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: guys good? A couple of quick comments, Um, you know

1215
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: I Murphy said at the beginning of this show. You know, Dallas,

1216
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: they certainly have a lot of talent, and they kind of,

1217
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, in some ways, remind me of the Browns.

1218
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: A lot of talent, but just haven't put it all

1219
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: together this year. There's something, you know, gone awry with

1220
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: that team. I don't know what it is, but I

1221
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: think the difference is the bill They really play together.

1222
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: We have a system that we stick to, and we've

1223
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: got we're just starting to hit our peak now offensively.

1224
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: So I really like our chances on Thursday. I think

1225
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: we can beat anybody, Like you said, Murph, And here's

1226
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: a stat you make, guys may not know. In the

1227
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: last seven games, Deak Prescott produced fourteen touchdowns. He's at

1228
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: seven interceptions the last seven games. Josh Jalens produced fifteen

1229
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns while only throwing two interceptions. It's a good one.

1230
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: I like it. I like Josh's I like Josh's game

1231
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: right now, and I think the key for us is

1232
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: we need to run the football. If we can run

1233
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: the football even one hundred hundred and twenty ten yards

1234
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: and you know, not put it all on Josh, we

1235
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: got a great chance to win because we got a

1236
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: hell of a defense. I like that, Thanks very much, Steve.

1237
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in. John Murphy and Steve Tasker with

1238
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: a special guest just joining us right after practice field.

1239
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: We've got rookie offensive lineman Cody Ford in studio. Hello, Cody,

1240
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: thanks coming by. How are you, sir, sir? I'm good.

1241
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: Are you good? That was a short practice, huh, probably

1242
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: just what you needed. Yeah. Have you got your mind

1243
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: around the fact you gotta travel tomorrow? Actually, you know,

1244
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: it kind of hit me earlier this morning. I was like,

1245
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: we gotta leave tomorrow. Yeah, this is my first experience,

1246
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, being the rookie. But even in college, we've

1247
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: never had any quick turnarounds. Like we had John Brown

1248
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: on our show sitting right away here yesterday, and he

1249
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: said how he took it up on himself as a

1250
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: veteran and to kind of let the young guys, you

1251
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: and others know, Hey, you gotta take care of yourself

1252
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: this week. Watch what you're doing, watch what you eat,

1253
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, take care of your body. That might be

1254
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: the key because you're looking for a quick recovery from

1255
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: a game on Sunday, right, Yeah, yeah, for sure, I

1256
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: know a lot of the guys, even when in um

1257
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: Sunday night after the game, got a lot of treatment done. Uh,

1258
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: and then like yesterday was more of a recovery day

1259
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: and mental day for Dallas. But uh, you know I

1260
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: was in there pretty early because my body was hurting,

1261
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: just like everybody else's. I was like, man, I gotta

1262
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: get it. I gotta get a jump on this now.

1263
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: Before for the game, you guys had a wrench thrown

1264
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: any when Mitch Morse had to come out of the

1265
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: game couldn't snap the ball because of his finger. How

1266
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: did you know talk about the adjustment of the conversations.

1267
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: When was it Feliciano went down the center h Spencer

1268
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: Long came in. What was the vibe like when Mitch

1269
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: went down? Oh, you know, it really wasn't any like

1270
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: disconnect between you know, John and Mitch and then you

1271
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: know from the guards from John de Sparence. You know,

1272
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: it was more so you know, we know, everybody knows

1273
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: everybody's job, and you know, we all trust each other,

1274
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: we love each other, so it was like next man up,

1275
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: and you know, we just kept it going. And that

1276
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: was that was the mindset we were wondering, Cody, if

1277
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: you know the way the preseason played out and didn't

1278
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: training camp when you had guys injured, Mitch took a

1279
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: while to get into the working you know, working with

1280
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and maybe that helps now deep into

1281
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: the season, you know who can plug in and go

1282
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: where you've played with this group that you have up

1283
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: there right now, right yeah? Yeah, yeah, So like a

1284
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: lot of time during camp, it was the rotation was

1285
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: never the same, and I think it really did help

1286
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: us out a lot for for where we are now

1287
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: in the situation like we had lads a game. What's

1288
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: the word, I mean, it's everything's abbreviated. What's been the

1289
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: scouting report on the Dallas defensive line. A lot of

1290
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: talented guys up there. Give us a thumbnail on what

1291
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: you expect them to be, Like, uh, you know, they

1292
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: played hard. Yeah, that's the biggest thing I can say.

1293
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: It's the most obvious thing that they had to me

1294
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,479
Speaker 1: as far as compared to other d liness and unit.

1295
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: You know, they all played hard. They all give a

1296
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: lot of effort, and I think that separates them a

1297
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: lot from other guys. But you know, they have guys

1298
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: like the markets, Alawrence and Robert Quinn. You know, elite

1299
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: pass rushers who who can cause havoc if you don't

1300
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: pay attention to him really well with Cody Ford, Bill's

1301
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: rookie offensive lightman. Let's talk about last week last Sunday

1302
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. You went up against an elite pass

1303
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: rusher in von Miller. You saw a lot of him,

1304
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: not exclusively him, but what did you think of him?

1305
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: What did you think of his gaming and more importantly

1306
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: your game against the Broncos last Sunday? I mean, you know,

1307
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: first and foremost, he is he's a great guy, and

1308
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: he's a great pass rusher, and he's a great player.

1309
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: U he'll go down in history, is one of the

1310
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: greats um I'm sure. But you know, I just had

1311
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: to realize the opportunity that I had to, you know,

1312
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: go up against a guy like that, and I just

1313
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: wanted to make the most of it, and uh, you know,

1314
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: just try to build on that then into this week.

1315
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: Is that mostly speed with von Miller that you're worried

1316
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: about or is there are there other more? I mean, well,

1317
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: a guy like him, you know, his speed is the

1318
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: most known things that people know about him. But you know,

1319
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: also with a guy like him, that allows him to um,

1320
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, kind of reach into his toolbox further things.

1321
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: You know, if you get if you're too worried too

1322
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: much about to speed, he'll always have something countered off

1323
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: of that. And you know, guys like him and other

1324
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: guys like the Marcus Lawrence, you know, you can't you

1325
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: can't give him the same thing every time because they're

1326
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: not gonna give you the same thing every time. I

1327
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: have one word for you about the Denver game. You

1328
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: went from about half the snaps at right tackle to

1329
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: all of the snaps. Did you feel it Sunday or

1330
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: yesterday or maybe even today. I mean, there's twice as

1331
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: much work for you. Yeah, definitely, you know kind of

1332
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: when I was hitting that early. You know, my body

1333
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: was hurting. Yeah, first full game, you know, going up

1334
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: against guys like well, you know, definitely puts a toll

1335
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: on the body. And you know, but I mean we

1336
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: got great trainers and great, great plans for treatment. So

1337
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: just like I said, I was in there early attacking that.

1338
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: One of the fun things about this last game against

1339
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos was the fact that Frank Gore went over

1340
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: went past surpast Barry Sanders for all purpose yards and

1341
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: stuff that had to be a great conversation for the

1342
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, because when you're an old guy like me,

1343
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna think back and think, hey, listen, I was

1344
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: there when he broke the record kind of it does

1345
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: go into the kind of your file Cabins say, yeah,

1346
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: I was there for that. Yeah, you know, we obviously

1347
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: weren't there for the beginning of his career, but you know,

1348
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 1: being on the field at that moment is still special

1349
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: to you know, be able to share it with a

1350
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: guy like that. You know, he gives he gives all

1351
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: of the lineman that's ever played with him, he gives

1352
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: all of them the glory. And that was that was

1353
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: pretty sweet. You know, he didn't leave anybody out. He

1354
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: didn't pick in twos. You know, he gave it to

1355
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: everybody with Cody Ford Bill's offensive lineman. And so you

1356
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: do have you know, you'll see a lot of the

1357
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence this week. And he's not the same as

1358
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: von Miller, is he. I Mean, this guy's kind of

1359
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: longer and and he's tough against the run. Maybe I

1360
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: don't know if you could say that about bon Miller

1361
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: to that extent. This guy is almost a complete package

1362
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: at defensivemen, isn't he. Yeah, you know, I was kind

1363
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: of discussing it with somebody else. Um, I think it

1364
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: was one of the coaches, honestly, but I was like, Yo,

1365
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: the one thing that I think is really good about

1366
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the Marcus Lawrence is that in the run game he

1367
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: doesn't take any plays. All Right. You know a lot

1368
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: of these guys who played d N and you know

1369
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: they get paid to a pastor the rush of the pastor.

1370
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: But the Marcus Lawrence he wants to play the run

1371
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: as well. And I think that's that's an identity thing

1372
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: over there. And you know, I think it goes with

1373
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the whole de line, and you know, that's gonna have

1374
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: to be a physical game and we're gonna have to

1375
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,479
Speaker 1: match it. So you guys spend a lot of time

1376
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 1: and for people who are listening, I know, offensive women,

1377
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: you spend a lot of time watching you guys themselves

1378
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: in the running game and stuff. But give it. Give

1379
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: us an idea of how much Devin Singletary sees when

1380
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: he's running the ball. I mean the guy's sidesteps, Guys

1381
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: who are like two people a wet you know what

1382
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, it's like three guys removed. Right, That's

1383
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,439
Speaker 1: that's unique and special, right for sure. You know most guys,

1384
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: most backs aren't like that. You know, most of them

1385
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: kind of predetermined where they're gonna go before the play

1386
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: even snapped, based off of history with the play or

1387
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: like it's just filmed. But you know, Devin's a guy

1388
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: who like trust up trust us up front, and trust

1389
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: his coaching. And you know he he's a competitor and

1390
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: he wants to play hard. And you know he got

1391
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: he got those moves to him and yeah, if you're

1392
01:04:56,080 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 1: not careful, he had your ankles getting wrapped up. Cody.

1393
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: In your career high school, college, have you played much

1394
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: of the football on Thanksgiving Day? Have you done it

1395
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: before at all? Never? Never, have I ever played any

1396
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: game on things given day? Turkey bowling, Una, when we

1397
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: had turkey at the house. You know, nobody was outside,

1398
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: we were all eating it. But yeah, what do you

1399
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: think about playing on the holiday this week? You know

1400
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: it would be an awesome experience. Um, I know, growing

1401
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: up watching it in a football family, you know it

1402
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: was always Thanksgiving Day. Hey, let's get the game on

1403
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,439
Speaker 1: and let's watching them just have a great day. When

1404
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 1: you were going to college at Oklahoma. Did you get

1405
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: sick you heard about the Dallas Cowboys out that way?

1406
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean, but you know, being so close to Dallas,

1407
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: it was always a Dallas Cowboy hat every time you look.

1408
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: But did you ever have you ever played in the

1409
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: stadium before? Yeah? I played last two, that's two Big

1410
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: twelve championships. Last one was against Texas. We were talking

1411
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: earlier on the show about how games there it seems,

1412
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: are more about show business and football sometimes. Is that

1413
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 1: even in the Big Twelve championship games? Did you find that? Uh?

1414
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean, from my experience with the Big twelves, it

1415
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: was more more about the game. Good. So I can't

1416
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: really speak on the the NFL games in there, but

1417
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean playing in the Big twelve, it was it

1418
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: was awesome. You know, the crowd was into it, and

1419
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: it was more about us and you know, the game itself,

1420
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: and this Thursday's game is about the game. You guys

1421
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: seem pretty well suited to that. You guys seem like

1422
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: a group that kind of plugs into what's important, at

1423
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: least so far this year. Yeah, you know, we just

1424
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: try to play the game the right way, and you

1425
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: know it's physical as it's a cute and you know,

1426
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: just go out there and have fun with the guys

1427
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: who you ground with. You wake up, you know, you

1428
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: see him at seven am in the morning, you see

1429
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,959
Speaker 1: him four thirty in the afternoons. You know, give us

1430
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: an idea. We've because we Murph and I've been sitting here.

1431
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: We've watched you guys through training camp all the way

1432
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: down to remembering Carolina. Are you down there and in

1433
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: nine thousand degree heat? You know, right so? And now

1434
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: you're here and we mentioned it earlier in this show. Today,

1435
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: it's a much different football team now than it was

1436
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: three months ago, even when the season started. You're better offensively,

1437
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: you're more productive offensively, your offensive line, you've got more.

1438
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, you've got a whole college season under your

1439
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: belt now, right, So give us an idea of what

1440
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: you see when you look around the locker room. Maybe

1441
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: maybe doesn't even dawn on any that things have changed

1442
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: just in the course of this one season. Yeah, you know,

1443
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: since I got here in the summer for a rookie

1444
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: mini camp, you know, we've been building on team first team,

1445
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: first team first and no matter what happens, you know,

1446
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: we always know we got each other, and you know,

1447
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: we've got the guy next to us, and I think

1448
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: building that from the summer to now has really helped us,

1449
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, bond and things like that. And I think

1450
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, everybody's officially bought in to

1451
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: what we've got going on and where we want to

1452
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: be and where we want to go, and everybody knows

1453
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: the process and what it takes. And like I said,

1454
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: everybody's buying in. So it's just everybody's molding together and

1455
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: things like that, you know, And you really don't even

1456
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 1: realize it unless you sit down and I observe, but

1457
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: you can feel it, and you could fill in in

1458
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: the rooms, in the locker room and on the field,

1459
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: and you know, everything's moving fast on the field being

1460
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: for me like I'm a rookie, everything's still moving fast

1461
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: because you know, I have guys next to us to

1462
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: me and who could slow it down, and we all

1463
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: just communicating things like that, And you're moving vast this week, right.

1464
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,839
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, Thanks for no problem. Cody Ford, Buffalo

1530
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,559

1531
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: right here, seven years were when you were not a semifinalists.

1532
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: Now you're back in the semifinals. Now if I'm let

1533
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: me go through some of the names. If you were

1534
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: watching on MSG, they're twenty five semifinalists and you know

1535
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 1: the process here right, They're going to reduce it to

1536
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: fifteen finalist on January second, and then everybody goes to

1537
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in Miami and the full forty eight

1538
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: member Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee selection Saturday

1539
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: February first, to day before the Super Bowl. They're like

1540
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: five modern era players, just five. There is another set

1541
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: aside centennial celebration class. This is not it. You were

1542
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: not eligible for that, but modern era semi finalists for

1543
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year. When did

1544
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: they reduce it down? January second? Okay, can you wait

1545
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: that long? Absolutely? January second, they will announce who they

1546
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 1: reduce it to. Look at the name that's usually where

1547
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: I drop out of the competition when they go to

1548
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: the final fifteen fourteen players on defense. Steve Atwater I

1549
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: think is a solid candidate, but I don't first year

1550
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 1: pomal's first year eligible, ten on offense, fourteen defense, one

1551
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 1: special team or Steve Tasker. And look, I defy anyone.

1552
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to read all twenty five names. And

1553
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 1: they're all great players. But Hall of Famers lock Hall

1554
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 1: of famers? Who do you got here, Palomello? I think

1555
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: Steve Atwater to my mind, I might say Eduard James

1556
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: is a near lock. Reggie Reggie Wayne is his first

1557
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 1: year of eligibility, He's he's I don't know if he's

1558
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: a lock, he's in. I think you've got a chance here,

1559
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: my man. I really do, yeah, I really do appreciate

1560
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 1: a chance. Well, I'm in the running. I mean I'm

1561
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: on the I'm on the list somewhere. You're on the list.

1562
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: Like it's just like those great Bills teams in the past,

1563
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 1: full of great players. And if you go down that

1564
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: list far enough, you'll come across my name. What are

Speaker 1: hour and ten minutes for the Bills. A light practice

1587
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: and Bills quarterback Josh Allen met with the media after practice.

1588
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,719
Speaker 1: He was asked a number of things, including Cole Beasley.

1589
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: Anything different about him this week as he returns to

1590
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: his old team, the Dallas Cowboys. Know, same Cole, same

1591
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 1: guy that comes in here and works extremely hard, communicates well, um,

1592
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: and it goes out there and make some plays. Obviously

1593
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: it's a short week. We know that, and he's got

1594
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: some uh you know, he's been there for a while,

1595
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: and we know what this game is and uh, you know,

1596
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 1: not just what it means to him, what it means

1597
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: to our team. You know, where we're looking for number

1598
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 1: nine and we're going against a very very good team,

1599
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:01,760
Speaker 1: very good defense, And I got a lot of guys

1600
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: that can make some plays over there, some high effort dudes,

1601
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we gotta we gotta prepare and

1602
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: be ready for it, especially on a short week. Statistically,

1603
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's easy to see what he's met the

1604
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 1: wide receiving group. Now, he's very very competitive at anything. Um.

1605
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's an athlete, does everything well. Whether it's

1606
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:26,799
Speaker 1: shooting hoops or playing ping pong or um rock paper scissors,

1607
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 1: he wants to win so we got a little hoop

1608
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: in the in the training room. He's on that thing

1609
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 1: all the time, especially in the OTAs and hiding some

1610
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: players are going back and forth. But um, he's very competitive. Obviously,

1611
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: he's been great for us this year. And you know,

1612
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't expect that to change. All about the idea

1613
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: of Thursday and Thanksgiving. He's done that. He did that

1614
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 1: a bunch obviously different cowboys himself. Yeah, I mean, any

1615
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: questions that you may have if you're on our team,

1616
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:54,680
Speaker 1: you can go up and ask him. He's very open

1617
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: about it, and um, you know, guys don't want to

1618
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: overload him with too many questions and things like that.

1619
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 1: But having that experience of playing on Thanksgiving year and

1620
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: a year out, um, you know it's going to play

1621
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: to his advantage. Um. And obviously to get to be

1622
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: able to talk to him and ask him about certain

1623
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: things and got the crowd and the vibe that goes

1624
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: on there, so um, it's very helpful to have him

1625
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: here off to these claid. The upside of having is

1626
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 1: there's not as much game plan. Rule the ball out

1627
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: there and do what you do fast. That's something that

1628
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: you kind of embrace a little bit as you all. Yeah,

1629
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: I think I think most teams do, um, you know

1630
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: usually on Thursdays or you're you're pretty simple with what

1631
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: you do. It's back to the basics and um what

1632
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, what you do well. And you know we've

1633
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 1: we've got our key stuff and our course stuff. Um

1634
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: and obviously, like our coaches did a great job of

1635
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 1: game planning, um this past week and they stayed up

1636
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, late after hours and um they got the

1637
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: job done there. So we appreciate with the work that

1638
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: they've put in for us. And UM, now so there's

1639
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 1: time to go out there and trust it and not

1640
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: a second guest and just go play football. What's the

1641
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: coolest part of per view and playing our plays game?

1642
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 1: I mean the coolest part is obviously I remember growing

1643
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: up waking up on Thursday, um, you know, going and

1644
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: eating and the watching these games all day and that's

1645
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: all I did and stuff in my face with mashed potatoes.

1646
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 1: So I know there's people out there that are gonna

1647
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 1: be doing the same thing, and UM, you know, I'm

1648
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: gonna have a good support group there from back home.

1649
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: They're making the trip out. There's probably about fourty of them,

1650
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: so get to see them, and um, you know, there's

1651
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,480
Speaker 1: a lot to be thankful for, super blessed and um,

1652
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: you know really can't complain there, Josh, you back to

1653
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 1: Cole for a second. What he's meant to the fruit

1654
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: development of this. If you talked about this even before

1655
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: the season started, about how he'd be a great bailable targets,

1656
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: can you kind of eleven games in kind of give

1657
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: us an update on it? Well, I mean the thing

1658
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: about Coal that I don't think really people give him

1659
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: credit for his foot football IQ is extremely high. Um,

1660
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: the things that he sees on the field, He's kind

1661
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: of like a quarterback out there. He sees things open

1662
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: before they are UM concepts that he likes that he's

1663
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 1: given the coach table and we've incorporated them into our

1664
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 1: offense and their key core plays for us. And UM,

1665
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, we appreciate him here and

1666
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: we appreciate how hard he works each each day and UM,

1667
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: the football knowledge that he has, and for me and

1668
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: him to have that open mind of communication when we're

1669
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: on the field and especially when we're off the field, UM,

1670
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 1: being able to talk through things that we saw and

1671
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 1: just try to get on the same page there. It's

1672
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: been awesome to have a guy that you pretty much

1673
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 1: can expect he's gonna win this pedal. I mean, you

1674
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 1: go through your progressions, but you can always count on

1675
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be open somewhere. Yeah. Absolutely. Um, And

1676
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 1: like I said, he does a great job when he's

1677
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: on the field, and um, there's not many people that

1678
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: that can cover him, to be honest, with how quick

1679
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: and shifty he is. And you know, he does a

1680
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of work for us, and he's underneath routs and um,

1681
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 1: he's a he's a real big threat there for us. Um,

1682
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 1: So you know, I ain't broke, don't fix it, goosh

1683
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: in a short week practice reps, just aren't You guys

1684
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,680
Speaker 1: have to get on the same page that way. What

1685
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: do you guys do to kind of get locked in?

1686
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: Make sure you guys are insane excellently. Well. I think

1687
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: the big thing, especially for the whole team, is just

1688
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 1: making sure that we're getting our recovery, our rest, making

1689
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 1: sure that our bodies are ready to go. Um, you know,

1690
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: not having those sore legs on a game day, that's

1691
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 1: that's gonna be tough. Now it's just my first Thursday game. Um,

1692
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 1: some guys have played in him and you know some

1693
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: some of them this is their first two So we

1694
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: just gotta land on the guys that have played in

1695
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: this game before. I understand, uh, you know, how to

1696
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: go about things during the week. And I think coach

1697
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 1: McDermot has been doing a good job of trying to

1698
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, keep us healthy and keep us going in

1699
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: the right direction and rehabbing, um the right way. Um.

1700
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 1: So you know, we think coach for how he's been

1701
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 1: treating us this past week. John Feliciano meant to this

1702
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: offensive line front. I mean you can't really just single

1703
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: out one guy, um, but having him there and um,

1704
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: just the meanness and the toughness that he brings, the

1705
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: attitude that he brings. UM. But again, he's one of

1706
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 1: those guys that it's extremely smart. You know, he does

1707
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: a lot of things at the line. Um. You know

1708
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 1: when he especially when you get moved to center, how

1709
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: he can play both positions and in be and can

1710
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 1: be locked in and communicate very well. Not many guys

1711
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 1: can do that. And uh, you know, I love the guy,

1712
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 1: and you know he's been awesome for us and he's

1713
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: going to continue to be awesome. But now a couple

1714
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: of times in games, you know, where he's had to

1715
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 1: shift over the center and it seems like that, you know,

1716
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: the transition between you guys has been pretty seamless. You know,

1717
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: what do you think it is about that relationship that's

1718
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:21,879
Speaker 1: allowed you guys to do that? Well, I mean, obviously

1719
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 1: he comes in, he's a professional, true professional. It comes in,

1720
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: works hard, knows his stuff, he's always studying. And then

1721
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things off the field. You know,

1722
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys I can say this with,

1723
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: but I trust him, trust him with everything I've got.

1724
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 1: UM know that he's gonna be doing the right thing

1725
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have my back and I'm gonna have his.

1726
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 1: And you know, when you have that type of relationship

1727
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: with the guy, you don't have to worry about him.

1728
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,560
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna do his job. Line's only a

1729
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: looted four sacks in the last four weeks and that's

1730
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: a group that a lot of Bobby Johnson completely new

1731
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: from last year. How have you seen them kind of

1732
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: developed throughout the season? Well, you know, I applied coach

1733
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 1: Johnson for what he's been doing. Um, you know, the attitude,

1734
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: the information that he's been given, them, you know, with

1735
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: the techniques that they've been working on, the protections that

1736
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: we've put in. I mean, everything kind of goes into it.

1737
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:11,800
Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of the day, it's

1738
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: it's football, and it's a man whooping man game. And

1739
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: we got some guys up front that I wouldn't trade

1740
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: for anybody, And I actually mean that, and I really

1741
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: appreciate how hard they work. And you know, when they

1742
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 1: come into the facility, it's all business, it's all football. So, um,

1743
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, we got a really great group here. Remember

1744
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: I remember last year when when you said, once you

1745
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 1: got injured and went off to the side and saw

1746
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,799
Speaker 1: how Derek Anderson operated, the game really kind of slowed

1747
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: down for you work a little bit. But going into

1748
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: this year, your second year, when do you think this

1749
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 1: year it started to slow down even a bit more

1750
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,600
Speaker 1: for you. Um, you know it's crazy to say it,

1751
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 1: but probably after that the Patriots game, Um, it was

1752
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: one of those games that obviously wasn't pretty, but I

1753
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: think it was necessary for you know, for growth and

1754
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: for development there and um understanding what I cannon can't

1755
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 1: do on a football field. And I think after that week,

1756
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 1: I just kind of thought to myself, like, I need

1757
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,639
Speaker 1: to be better, I need to do things different. And

1758
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, I've been been helpful out out a lot

1759
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: with coach Dable and Coach Dorsey and you know the

1760
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in our room. UM, I feel like things are

1761
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: going in the right direction right now, and um I'm

1762
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: seeing things pretty well. Um but that's something that can

1763
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: go away, so I had to continue to stay on

1764
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: top of it, continue to keep working hard. UM timing

1765
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: with the routes. There's still a lot of things that

1766
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: I clean up. Um, I got to clean up, and

1767
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,680
Speaker 1: I will clean up. And UM, I feel like the

1768
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: more the more that I play, the more that I'll

1769
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 1: get better. Do you remember what play specifically? You're resonated

1770
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: with me the most? Um I, it probably couldn't. Didn't

1771
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: point it down to one player. This is quite a

1772
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,799
Speaker 1: game for your first nationally talentvised game in the NFL.

1773
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 1: How do you avoid putting the outside noise and impact

1774
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 1: the game? Um? I mean, well, I I don't really

1775
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: think it's any different from any other game that we've played.

1776
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 1: Um Like, I really don't know the logistics what makes

1777
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: it a primetime game or whatever? And uh, you know

1778
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: we're going out there we're playing football, how we know

1779
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 1: how to play. I'm gonna trust the game plan that

1780
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 1: we've put in and um just try to play, you

1781
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 1: know like we've been playing last few weeks. And obviously

1782
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 1: that they're a tough defense and they're gonna be um

1783
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 1: doing some things that we gotta we gotta look at

1784
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 1: and continue to game plan for, and we gotta make

1785
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:16,560
Speaker 1: some ing game adjustments, no doubt. And it's gonna be

1786
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: a four quarter battle with these guys, and um, we

1787
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 1: just got to stay on track and go out there

1788
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: next year the best we can, mean defense will play

1789
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 1: well in all the year. Obviously they're going against the

1790
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: league off this week. Do you get the sense that

1791
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 1: this might be a game where the offense, your offense

1792
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: is gonna have to produce key pace and our sport

1793
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: these guys, Oh yeah, I mean we'll kind of see

1794
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,600
Speaker 1: that and get a feel, um when we when we

1795
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: start playing the game, when the game's going on. Obviously,

1796
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: they they've got some really good pieces on the offense

1797
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: over there, and No, Dack's playing extremely well and they

1798
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 1: got a couple of receivers. Um, they got the running

1799
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: back there too that it's you know, all pro guy

1800
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 1: and um, so our defense, you know they're gonna have

1801
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: their hands full, so we got to do our pot

1802
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: and offense. You know, it's it's a complimentary football game. Um.

1803
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta all executing three phases at the game.

1804
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: When you look at their d um, I mean, obviously

1805
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,719
Speaker 1: their d line is pretty good. They got some guys

1806
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,680
Speaker 1: that are very high motor. Um. You know, Lawrence is

1807
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: playing extremely well right now. They got some linebackers that

1808
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 1: move very well, and their dbs are pretty in sync

1809
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 1: with how they go about their things. Um. So their

1810
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators got him in a good spot right now,

1811
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: and we gotta go out there. We gotta go. And uh,

1812
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: I said, trust the game plan that we're putting in

1813
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: and go out there next year the best we can.

1814
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:28,839
Speaker 1: They go. Josh Allen, Bills quarterback, addressing the media, seems steady,

1815
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: seems focused right, and it knows what he's up against.

1816
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: Had somebody said to me, I think Josh will be

1817
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: in his first nationally televised game. There's there's gonna be

1818
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 1: like thirty million viewers. But I think Josh is fine.

1819
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he gets rattled playing on a national

1820
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 1: game last week last year or second half of the season.

1821
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: They yeah, they must have write a primetime game, but

1822
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: not like not thirty Steve, this is the highest rated

1823
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: uh TV show them of the month. No, the highest

1824
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: rated football game of the season will be this Bills game.

1825
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: I would think it was last year. It might be

1826
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: it was last year the league Thursday game. What was

1827
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: our primetime game last year? I can't remember. Thursday night

1828
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: Footday Night against somebody. Yeah, anyway, what do you think

1829
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: about this game on Sunday? What's the Bills biggest challenge

1830
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys? Anyway, We'll go ahead. I was gonna say, anyway,

1831
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 1: You're right, Josh seems the same. Yeah, that like this

1832
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 1: is let's just go play. Let excuse go player game?

1833
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 1: Which is its good because I told you when they

1834
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 1: get down there Thanksgiving and they start to think about

1835
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: what it is and well, you know they're growing up

1836
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: and watching the Cowboys and they'll see Jason Garrett and

1837
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones stand there and you know, just calm down,

1838
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 1: just be yourself. I don't just getting like that. Just

1839
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: just challenge facing the Bills against the Cowboys. That's our

1840
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. What do you think? Got eight hundred thirty votes.

1841
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,639
Speaker 1: In so far, sixty percent of you say it's Ezekiel Elliott.

1842
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: I agree. Twenty seven percent say it's the Cowboys pass game,

1843
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and those good receivers. Nine percent say it's

1844
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys pass rus, four percent something else. We will

1845
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: get to your phone calls. We will get to your

1846
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: tweets when we return. Come on back, One Bill's Live,

1847
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,759
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health from One Bills from One Bill's

1848
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,679
Speaker 1: Dry in the Seneca Studio year and this is Buffalo

1849
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:16,640
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back time now for Reds Milestones. The

1850
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: official jeweler of the Buffalo Bills. Frank Gore had a

1851
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,839
Speaker 1: major NFL milestone Sunday and now he has fifteen thousand,

1852
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 1: two hundred eighty nine career rushing yards, third place all

1853
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: time on the NFL list. He passed Barry Sanders Sunday

1854
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 1: now only trails Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton. Emmitt Smith

1855
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: the leader eighteen thousand yards a great milestone. Be honest

1856
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: with you, Steve, I felt, and I don't know Frank Gorewell,

1857
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: he's only been here for a couple, you know, two

1858
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 1: thirds of a season. But I felt honored to be

1859
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: able to call the play by play at that moment.

1860
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's third one hundred years of NFL football,

1861
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:50,760
Speaker 1: he's the third all time leading rusher. That's incredible, Yeah,

1862
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 1: it is, and he's you know, because it's interesting Tune,

1863
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: I've told you this before. You know, there's people who

1864
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:00,720
Speaker 1: say who belittle what he's accomplished because he's played for

1865
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 1: so long. And to me, he's played so long, that's

1866
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: the accomplishment. It's not the yards. Sixteen years playing in

1867
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 1: that spot in the NFL. I don't care if he

1868
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: got I don't care if he rushed for three hundred yards.

1869
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. Most people have never been through a physical

1870
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:26,759
Speaker 1: altercation at any point in their life. Like the physical

1871
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: altercation he goes through fifteen times a game on a Sunday,

1872
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:35,440
Speaker 1: and he's done it for sixteen years is an absolute phenomenon.

1873
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is that makes him so different,

1874
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 1: so capable of being out there. And let me tell

1875
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 1: you something, the biggest gift he's given the game is

1876
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:48,600
Speaker 1: his availability the guys out there. That is unbelievable. It

1877
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 1: is absolutely amazing that he has played sixteen years at

1878
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: running back in the National Football League Because you look

1879
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 1: at it. Listen, Jim Brown retired, Barry Sanders retired early.

1880
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,919
Speaker 1: Some say all too early. Well, hey, he pulled the ripcord.

1881
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: Frank Dever did, and he's you gotta tip your hat.

1882
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: Not forget about the numbers, the number that it's number sixteen,

1883
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: the sixteen years he has carried the rock in a

1884
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: game that is absolutely brutally physically demanding, and he's done

1885
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 1: it at a high level. What do you think of

1886
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 1: Sundays or Thursday's game? The builds on the Cowboys, the

1887
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 1: Bill's biggest challenge. Let's take a few phone calls on lists.

1888
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: Let's go to Edric in New Jersey. Hello, Edric, welcome, Hey,

1889
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: what's up, Jelling, how are you? I'm good? Thanks? Good good.

1890
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna make my point about Sunday. Then, uh,

1891
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make another statement if you guys allow me

1892
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 1: to anyways on Sunday, I mean on Thursday. Obviously, stopping

1893
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 1: Ezequel Elliott is number one. Um, you know, I mean

1894
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,640
Speaker 1: that that offense is gonna go if he goes. And

1895
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: then obviously if we stopped that, we make them one dimensional,

1896
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: which I think will work to our advantage. We have

1897
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 1: a great past defense. I dare to say that our

1898
01:28:57,080 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 1: past defense is elite. Maury Cooper being seventy five percent

1899
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 1: or whatever percent he is, even if he was one

1900
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent, I think Trey White would be up to

1901
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 1: the task. Michael Gallup is good. Doesn't really scare me.

1902
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Uh Now, I do want to get to his um.

1903
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,719
Speaker 1: I kind of want to my own horn here. About

1904
01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, after the Cleveland game, I called in.

1905
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 1: I was upset, and I said, we got to get

1906
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 1: the ball to single Tarry fifteen to twenty times last

1907
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,880
Speaker 1: two games. Check. We've got to get the ball to

1908
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 1: Brown and Beasley at least twenty targets a game. Check.

1909
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 1: No oh dropped the stay that again. After the after

1910
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: single Tarry, he said, check, then what we lost? You

1911
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 1: and we've got to get the ball. Yeah, can you

1912
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: hear me? Yeah? But we gotta wrap it up. We're

1913
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:53,040
Speaker 1: going to break. So what's your final point, Dric final

1914
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 1: point is um? Yeah. I just thought we were doing

1915
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,679
Speaker 1: exactly what I thought we had to do. Last week's

1916
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 1: the I told you our defense wasn't elite two weeks ago.

1917
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 1: Last week it was elite. We're just Miami. Although we

1918
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 1: allowed some points it was elite. You know. I told

1919
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 1: you that if you stopped to run against bad teams,

1920
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:14,639
Speaker 1: you don't even give them a chance. If Miami would

1921
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 1: have been able to run that ball two weeks ago,

1922
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 1: I think that game would have been a little different. Edric, thanks,

1923
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: thanks for coming. He was right about the last couple

1924
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 1: of weeks. We're looking forward and we're gonna look forward

1925

1968
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 1: at least you're not on the police blotter where you

1969
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:45,439
Speaker 1: usually have been. Bengals are going back to Andy Dalton,

Speaker 1: told sports Snooze at us standstill. When I make the update,

1979
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 1: very much for joining us. Thrilled to beyond. And I

1980
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 1: can't go any further without commenting on this. We know

1981
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,679
Speaker 1: that there has been a development in the Hall of Fame,

1982
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,480
Speaker 1: and I wish I could have spoken about this earlier,

1983
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 1: but I'm thrilled to speak with you. As you know.

1984
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking of course about mister John Murphy going into

1985
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo broadcast. Thrilled about. I don't know what Steve

1986
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,519
Speaker 1: has done in his life. I'm not familiar with, but you,

1987
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 1: my friends, are the Hall of Famer, not a semifinalist,

1988
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 1: an actual Hall of Fame. Oh that's why you're kidding.

1989
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:45,679
Speaker 1: You never heard the update. You know the new Steve

1990
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:48,920
Speaker 1: is a semi final. You went in in September. I

1991
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 1: heard you give a great speech. Now listen, here's my

1992
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 1: thoughts about Steve and Steve I've always respected as a

1993
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:56,720
Speaker 1: player and broadcaster, and now you're very modest about this,

1994
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:00,719
Speaker 1: but my take is and has always been with respect

1995
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:04,280
Speaker 1: to guys like Bill Bates, Matthew Slater who's still doing it.

1996
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:06,599
Speaker 1: You are the best special teams player I've ever seen.

1997
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: And I mean that I grew up watching you, I

1998
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: watching through high school in college. And my take on

1999
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame is, whether you are a quarterback

2000
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:16,640
Speaker 1: or a long snapper, if you are the best to

2001
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 1: ever do it, you are in now. That applies to

2002
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:24,240
Speaker 1: certainly Ray Guy, certainly Adam Vina Terry. I've always been

2003
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 1: very strong in the fact that I think Devin Hester

2004
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:28,519
Speaker 1: is a Hall of Famer because he's bar none the

2005
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:31,040
Speaker 1: best for tournament I've ever seen, and that would apply

2006
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:34,800
Speaker 1: to you all. All jokes aside. Very thrilled to hear

2007
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 1: your semifinals against Zach or where you should be. If

2008
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: I had a vote, I don't I would vote for you.

2009
01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:41,479
Speaker 1: Steal Well, I appreciate it's nice and thanks for thanks

2010
01:34:41,479 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 1: for the kind words, and we're of course, yeah it's

2011
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 1: not gonna it's yeah, it's not gonna change. But in fact,

2012
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:48,680
Speaker 1: I was just you heard me, and my family is

2013
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 1: tweeting me making sure the dogs have been fed today,

2014
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:53,840
Speaker 1: and you know all that we're making because we just

2015
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:55,679
Speaker 1: got back from a trip. You know that we took

2016
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,599
Speaker 1: out of town over the weekends. We're making no crickets

2017
01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:02,599
Speaker 1: on my phone. So um, it's right where the call comes.

2018
01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 1: If the call comes to go to Canton, I know

2019
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,639
Speaker 1: that you'll you'll have a very long future on this program,

2020
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:10,160
Speaker 1: or you'll move to Barbados two seconds after become all

2021
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:12,599
Speaker 1: fan and I hope you stay there. You go now

2022
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:15,680
Speaker 1: you're now you're talking my language. We saw you, so

2023
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 1: we catch you every You're like regular. You guys are

2024
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:20,599
Speaker 1: regular viewing. Good Morning Football is the best show on TV.

2025
01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 1: It's a staple for anybody who's a big NFL fan.

2026
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:25,000
Speaker 1: You guys have a lot of energy. You do a

2027
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. One thing I was shocked to see, though,

2028
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 1: you lost a bet and you wore Keenan Allen's jersey

2029
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:32,800
Speaker 1: this morning. You gotta wear it all week? Yeah, all right,

2030
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 1: when they get into this, because it's only Tuesday and

2031
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 1: it's already killing me. Back in the offseason, you might

2032
01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 1: remember that the Chiefs added Frank Clark and they added

2033
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: a couple of pieces Keenan Allen. They're very good. LA

2034
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 1: Chargers receiver had this comment about well, I see their

2035
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,400
Speaker 1: dB room and I'm not too worried about it. I

2036
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 1: went on TV and said, really, Keenan, I think the

2037
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:54,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs are kind of a punching bag. I'm gonna stick

2038
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 1: up for their defense. You've only scored one touchdown ever

2039
01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 1: in your career against the Chiefs. Don't have much to talk.

2040
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 1: Keenan Outen did not appreciate that. He expressed himself on

2041
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:07,240
Speaker 1: Twitter really aggressively, and I set out to tell you

2042
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 1: this way. You guys play the Chiefs way way. In

2043
01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:13,479
Speaker 1: November in Mexico, Keenan, if you score a touchdown against

2044
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:16,559
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, which you really never do, I will wear

2045
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 1: your jersey for an entire show. No no, no, for

2046
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: an entire week on Good Morning Football. Of course, he

2047
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 1: scores like a three yard touchdown in Mexico in the

2048
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 1: end of a loss. The second the game's over, Keenan

2049
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:32,559
Speaker 1: Outen is tweeting me, guys after a loss in another country,

2050
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:36,000
Speaker 1: tweeting the saying, don't write checks. Your bleak can't cash.

2051
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 1: You better do it. You better do it. So you

2052
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:39,720
Speaker 1: are talking to me now in a week in which

2053
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a powder blue Chargers jersey all show every

2054
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:46,600
Speaker 1: show on a holiday week, and in a week in

2055
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:49,120
Speaker 1: which the Chargers I'm really relevant. So if I sound

2056
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 1: like I'm annoyed about it, I am because the thing

2057
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:55,680
Speaker 1: already stinks and it's only two days in. We're with

2058
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 1: Cayl Brand from the NFL Network, a host of Good

2059
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 1: Morning Football. Let's get you talking about the Buffalo Bills

2060
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:03,800
Speaker 1: in this week's same I heard you say this week

2061
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:07,400
Speaker 1: that this is the game. You were asked if Sunday's

2062
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 1: Bills win over Denver was a statement? Was a statement

2063
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 1: what they win? And you say no, but this week

2064
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 1: could be Can you elaborate? Do that a little bit? Murth?

2065
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 1: The Bills got their tuxedos all pressed, They're gonna get

2066
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:23,519
Speaker 1: their hair done, they get their nails done. This is

2067
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:27,240
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Buffalo Bills coming out party. We've talked

2068
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 1: about this a lot, but I talk about it in

2069
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 1: the morning as well. I'm of the humble opinion I

2070
01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 1: don't think there has been an eight and three team

2071
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 1: in history that has been viewed less than this Bills team.

2072
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:42,559
Speaker 1: No primetime games, not even a late window four o'clock kickoff.

2073
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:47,519
Speaker 1: It's only been one o'clock Sunday games. Against Let's be honest,

2074
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:49,639
Speaker 1: a lot of teams that don't jump off the marquis.

2075
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 1: I think people all around the country have not seen

2076
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:53,680
Speaker 1: the Bills. I think they know a few of them

2077
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 1: from their fantasy teams, maybe two or three of them.

2078
01:37:56,479 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 1: But on Thursday, it's national, baby, and it's not just national,

2079
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,520
Speaker 1: it's as big as it gets. Jerry World on Thanksgiving

2080
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 1: against a very beatable Dallas Cowboys team that right now

2081
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 1: the coach and the owner are about to be in

2082
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: a slap fight. So I'm thrilled to be on the

2083
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills show right now because I think in two

2084
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 1: days they're going to be on a lot of shows,

2085
01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 1: because I think this is the one. It's coming out

2086
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,679
Speaker 1: of time. Yeah, and you mentioned Jerry Jones and Jason

2087
01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:24,720
Speaker 1: Garrett have been a little bit at as Jerry came

2088
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 1: out and you know, kind of late it at the

2089
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 1: feet of the coaches the way they played in New

2090
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:32,639
Speaker 1: England in a forty degree rainstorm. Yeah, if the Bills

2091
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:34,920
Speaker 1: were to go in there and win this game in Dallas,

2092
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 1: do you think Jason might not survive the weekend? He shouldn't.

2093
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,240
Speaker 1: And that's hard for me to say. Let me personalize

2094
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 1: this for a second. Jason Garrett and I went to

2095
01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: the same college. We played for the same football program.

2096
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: We were in the same club in college. We run

2097
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:53,599
Speaker 1: in a lot of the same circles and the alumni circles.

2098
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 1: I have every reason to be an apologist for Jason Garrett.

2099
01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: I just can't do it. How could I possibly do that?

2100
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 1: It seems to me that when you have a twelve

2101
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,280
Speaker 1: and four talent and you're looking to be a nine

2102
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,840
Speaker 1: and seventeen, you have to stop and say, what's going

2103
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:11,600
Speaker 1: on here? I look at the Cowboys. They have really fancy,

2104
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 1: expensive ingredients, expensive wide receivers, running back, pass rushers, They

2105
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:20,720
Speaker 1: got this star quarterback. The ingredients are great and the

2106
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 1: food is crappy, and you after a while you have

2107
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:26,160
Speaker 1: to start saying, should we look at the chef. I

2108
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: know he's been in the family for a while, and

2109
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:30,719
Speaker 1: he's Jerry's son and Steven's brother, and he's a good

2110
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 1: guy who's respected. The result is not there, and people

2111
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 1: have said this for years. Why could this year be different?

2112
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 1: A couple of reasons. One, Jerry's been writing some huge

2113
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:44,200
Speaker 1: checks this year more than ever. The pass rusher, the linebacker,

2114
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 1: the running back, the quarterback check as yet to come.

2115
01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 1: So he has a business mount above all, and when

2116
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 1: he's spending that kind of money, you're not getting the results. Guys.

2117
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 1: It just feels like he's buying this very expensive piece

2118
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 1: of technology and the thing doesn't damn work and he

2119
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:00,680
Speaker 1: wants to return it. This is a different year for

2120
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and I don't think they'll fire Jason Garrett

2121
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:05,360
Speaker 1: mid season's team. I just don't think he hasn't in him.

2122
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:07,679
Speaker 1: You may see an assistant fired, you may see even

2123
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,240
Speaker 1: a coordinator of somehow, but I think they'll rider die

2124
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 1: and I think it's a mistake. Kyle. You and Jason

2125
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:14,799
Speaker 1: Garrett in one of those snooty eating clubs at Princeton.

2126
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 1: Is that what you've just admitted to us? It's so snooty, Murph,

2127
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,759
Speaker 1: you know the exact term for it, the eating clubs.

2128
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 1: We were both a member of what's called the Cottage

2129
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 1: Club in Prince University, which is incredibly pretentious and snooty. Yes,

2130
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:30,720
Speaker 1: but he was in the same club I was, and

2131
01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: so we're like, you know, I can't tell you the

2132
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:36,160
Speaker 1: secret handshake or anything like that, but we're de facto brothers.

2133
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 1: And here I am on one Bill's Live saying he

2134
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:40,839
Speaker 1: should probably be fired, so I won't be involved into

2135
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 1: the club anymore. Club, Well, I got I gotta ask you.

2136
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:47,080
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you when we got to the Bills

2137
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 1: got to eight and three and they beat two weeks

2138
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,639
Speaker 1: ago was the Dolphins, and they kind of thumped him.

2139
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 1: They beat this Denver Bronco team who had the number

2140
01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: four defense in the league, beat him by seventeen points,

2141
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 1: and it really was never in doubt. They rushed for

2142
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:04,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty four yards. I mean, Murph and

2143
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 1: I've been talking. We talked about it every day. The

2144
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:09,040
Speaker 1: Bills certainly a soft schedule, no prop no question about it.

2145
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 1: But they have grown and they're a much different football

2146
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:13,160
Speaker 1: team now than they were at the beginning of the year.

2147
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:15,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is playing differently now when they're getting if

2148
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:19,280
Speaker 1: they get a weak opponents, it's over early, and I

2149
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:21,840
Speaker 1: think it spells pretty good things even though it is

2150
01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 1: a really tough schedule coming down the stretch. It's funny, Steve,

2151
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,080
Speaker 1: I can tell it's a tedious topic for you. It's

2152
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 1: a tedious topic for me. This idea that the Bills

2153
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 1: right and three if they haven't played anyone, and I

2154
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:37,200
Speaker 1: can also tell you it's tedious for the players themselves.

2155
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 1: We've had a couple of Buffalo Bills on Good Morning

2156
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 1: Football lately. We had John Smolkie Brown today and we,

2157
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:45,160
Speaker 1: sir enough, ask them the same question. John, you're eight

2158
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: and three, but you know you beat the Redskins and

2159
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos and the Dolphins. What do you say to

2160
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 1: this concept that you guys are what I like to

2161
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 1: call fake good. And they all say the same thing.

2162
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 1: You can tell they don't like the question, and they

2163
01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 1: all say, listen, we play who's on the schedule, the cliche.

2164
01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:03,640
Speaker 1: And I think to your point, Steve, I think the

2165
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:05,960
Speaker 1: greatest case study in this is the two times that

2166
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: they played the Dolphins. And the first time they played

2167
01:42:08,439 --> 01:42:11,479
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, it was dicey, they were down, it was

2168
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:13,720
Speaker 1: not pretty early, and we're like, well that didn't look

2169
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 1: so good. Second time they do them, it's not a

2170
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:19,439
Speaker 1: competitive game. So thank god we have, if not a

2171
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: great team, at least the one that gets a lot

2172
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:23,639
Speaker 1: of intention. And the Dallas Cowboys coming up on Thursday,

2173
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 1: because I'm sick of the home they haven't beaten anybody either.

2174
01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 1: We're with cal Brand NFL network. He is the host

2175
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:31,639
Speaker 1: of Good Morning Football on the NFL Network. I saw

2176
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,800
Speaker 1: the John Brown segment this morning, Kyle, and I saw

2177
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,559
Speaker 1: you dancing, right. You were kind of mimicking his touchdown dance.

2178
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:41,880
Speaker 1: Is that what that was? All right? So this way,

2179
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 1: John Brown is all business, all right. He's not there

2180
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 1: to go into anecdotes or to tell you. He's there

2181
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 1: to say, we're here to win, and I'm here to work.

2182
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:52,799
Speaker 1: So you guys know this. You'll get into an interview.

2183
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 1: Had him here yesterday, I don't know, the fifth or

2184
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 1: six minute, Yeah, and you got to pull out the

2185
01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:01,400
Speaker 1: circus act. So sir enough, pull up the peanut butter,

2186
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:03,880
Speaker 1: jelly dands or whatever the heck he calls it. And

2187
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:06,280
Speaker 1: John Brown on the point said, well, let's see you

2188
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 1: do it. So listen, I'm forty, I'm not in the

2189
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:11,719
Speaker 1: best shape of all time. The pants are a little

2190
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 1: bit tight, and I'm suddenly in somewhere dance off with

2191
01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 1: Smokey Brown and looking like an imbecile. But anything to

2192
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: say of the segment, I promise I will work on it.

2193
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 1: I think John was openly laughing at me, and I'll

2194
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 1: always do anything for a laugh on the show. So

2195
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad you are impressed, Murphy. I want to see

2196
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,640
Speaker 1: you do that. You're a show business professional. I'm not

2197
01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:33,519
Speaker 1: clearly I would. Yeah. Sorry. One of the things, one

2198
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:35,439
Speaker 1: of the things that also happened this last week We've

2199
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:37,759
Speaker 1: been talking about this too, is Frank Gore brick passing

2200
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:40,840
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. And you know, Frank, there's always people who

2201
01:43:40,840 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: will criticize him because he's played for so long. Of course,

2202
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 1: his numbers are going to be good, right, And I

2203
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:46,719
Speaker 1: just told Murph this last segment. One of the great

2204
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:50,599
Speaker 1: numbers about Frank Gore's career is sixteen years playing running back.

2205
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 1: That in and of itself is a Hall of Fame accomplishment.

2206
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:57,479
Speaker 1: Forget about this fifteen thousand, two hundred yards that he's got.

2207
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 1: That really is something to think about when you watch

2208
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:03,840
Speaker 1: these games up close. What a brutal way to make

2209
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:07,320
Speaker 1: a living for sixteen years. It's amazing. And it's not

2210
01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 1: just running back. It's a term that gets lost these days,

2211
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,679
Speaker 1: which is feature back. I mean, it's we were focused

2212
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:14,639
Speaker 1: so much now in the end of Frank Gore's career.

2213
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:18,240
Speaker 1: Let's not forget the beginning. The guy with knee problems

2214
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 1: at Miami the guy who was an afterthought around guys

2215
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 1: like Edger and James Clinton, Portis Willis mcgahey. I mean,

2216
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 1: he was kind of the also round. There's like, oh, en,

2217
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is really good. Not a first round pick,

2218
01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:33,800
Speaker 1: not a second round pick. Knee problems, red flags throughout

2219
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:37,200
Speaker 1: throughout his hole. It approaches to the draft, and then

2220
01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:39,720
Speaker 1: I say feature back because I mean, there was a

2221
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 1: time and there's still a few, but there was a

2222
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 1: time to that position. You'd have guys who passed, block,

2223
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:48,680
Speaker 1: who run blocked, who caught, who threw if they need to,

2224
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 1: Who ran like? Who don't come off the field, who

2225
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:53,160
Speaker 1: don't do the well, you know it's third and nine,

2226
01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:54,600
Speaker 1: I'll go off the field so I can have the

2227
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:57,439
Speaker 1: receiving running back. You know, Frank Gore has as a

2228
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 1: niche role now, but for years and years he would

2229
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:03,679
Speaker 1: do everything and I've always respected it. And it's interesting

2230
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:06,320
Speaker 1: because when you hear the aggregator word or whatnot, it's

2231
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: like people seem to be speaking against him because he's

2232
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: played so long. I mean him and Adrian Peterson had

2233
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 1: just come from different course. Completely, I've never seen something

2234
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 1: like it, and you saw him and the other day

2235
01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 1: He's not struggling through the hole and just racking up

2236
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:24,240
Speaker 1: a few charity numbers. He's still moving. Shanes have burst.

2237
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:26,760
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I mean it's really cool. I just think,

2238
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:28,879
Speaker 1: like I know that this is the era of judgment,

2239
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:30,640
Speaker 1: and you can bring up the greatest thing in the

2240
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 1: world and everybody hates it. If you don't like Frank

2241
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: Gore and you don't respect everything he's done, you don't

2242
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 1: like yourself. I mean, it's an awesome He's like a

2243
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:40,120
Speaker 1: football saint for me. I absolutely love him. Kyle, I'll

2244
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:42,760
Speaker 1: tell you who likes him. Is the Bill's really number

2245
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:45,719
Speaker 1: one running back now? Devin Singletary? Who would? Who will

2246
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:48,719
Speaker 1: credit Frank Gore is having a major impact on the

2247
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:52,200
Speaker 1: Singletary's emergence. Now he is the Bill's primary offensive threat. Now.

2248
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 1: I believe it's a godsent. I mean, it's a god

2249
01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 1: sent for him. Singletary looks like he's got a burst.

2250
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,759
Speaker 1: He looks flashy, he looks fast. I mean, the stats

2251
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: against the Broncos were fantastic. I know it was the

2252
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,599
Speaker 1: best of his career. And then every day he gets

2253
01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 1: to sit next to a guy who's one of the

2254
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:09,240
Speaker 1: greatest to ever do it a guy who's had more

2255
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:12,679
Speaker 1: yards than Barry Sanders. If you're just really, really bright,

2256
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:14,640
Speaker 1: if he can step his game up, get bigger, it

2257
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,599
Speaker 1: gets stronger. I love what Singletary does, and I always

2258
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:19,680
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, throughout the season there's been a

2259
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 1: little more like man. I wish we had more Singletary.

2260
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 1: He was banged up a little bit. I wish he

2261
01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 1: could be featured more. Maybe that's not such a bad

2262
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 1: thing that he hasn't ran up this huge carry total

2263
01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 1: through September through October, because as we know, they're gonna

2264
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:35,559
Speaker 1: be in January and they're gonna see somebody. It could

2265
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:38,400
Speaker 1: be who knows. It could be New England, Houston, Kansas City,

2266
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 1: it could be Baltimore, and they're gonna need someone who

2267
01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 1: is fresh, who is ready to have twenty touches in

2268
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:46,000
Speaker 1: a playoff game, and that could be the guy. All right, now,

2269
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:48,840
Speaker 1: I got a question to ask you about this Dallas game.

2270
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:52,160
Speaker 1: So say you're a really pretty good player, or maybe

2271
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 1: maybe you're just a carpenter, and you build this really

2272
01:46:54,800 --> 01:46:57,120
Speaker 1: nice house. You're really productive, and the house turns out

2273
01:46:57,160 --> 01:47:00,360
Speaker 1: awesome and it looks fantastic, but then you're lost. The

2274
01:47:00,400 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 1: general contractor comes up and hands the keys to the owner.

2275
01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:05,360
Speaker 1: They give him all the credit, and they ship you

2276
01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 1: off somewhere. So Cole Beasley's going back to Dallas, and

2277
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna play, and he's gonna play against his old team.

2278
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:13,880
Speaker 1: But put us, you know, put yourself in his shoes.

2279
01:47:15,800 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 1: I love Listen, Steve, you might only be a semi

2280
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:21,759
Speaker 1: finalists right now because you are a Hall of Famer

2281
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:25,479
Speaker 1: of analogies. First ballot, first ballot guy. All right, I

2282
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 1: absolutely The last time you brought up an analogy was

2283
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:31,120
Speaker 1: something about your aunt who visits for the holidays. I

2284
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:34,719
Speaker 1: love it, and I also love the di y thing. Listen,

2285
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:38,919
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, I remember the rap on him. Nice little receiver,

2286
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,880
Speaker 1: deceptively fast. You know, he's a product of the Zeke

2287
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 1: running game. Take him out of Dallas without the star

2288
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,840
Speaker 1: in his helmet and Dak Prescott whatnot. I don't know

2289
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 1: if he'll make plays. He looks pretty good to me.

2290
01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 1: He looks like he's peeking at the exact right time.

2291
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 1: And I know Cole Beasley is a guy who's really motivated,

2292
01:47:57,040 --> 01:48:01,080
Speaker 1: who might run a little hot, who's prone, who dropping rhymes.

2293
01:48:01,320 --> 01:48:03,439
Speaker 1: He may have a few rhymes about the Dallas Cowboys

2294
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:06,040
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day, and he should because I just saw

2295
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:08,639
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper, as good as he is, gets shut out,

2296
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 1: completely shut out in the Dallas Cowboys last game against

2297
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots. So I'm looking for cocops that have a

2298
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:16,360
Speaker 1: huge game. Between him and Singletary, they're kind of the

2299
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:19,800
Speaker 1: running back receiver version of themselves, undersized guys with chip

2300
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:21,640
Speaker 1: on their solo or run fast. I like it, and

2301
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:23,760
Speaker 1: I hope he goes off. Kyle Brandt with us from

2302
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,360
Speaker 1: NIFILM network, just looking ahead a little bit. After the

2303
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 1: Bills are finished in Dallas, they get Baltimore here. Baltimore's

2304
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:31,599
Speaker 1: got to play the forty nine ers in what should

2305
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:33,800
Speaker 1: be a pretty big game this week. The Ravens going

2306
01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 1: to be spent by the time they get to Buffalo

2307
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:39,200
Speaker 1: December eighth. It's a good question, you know. We brought

2308
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,519
Speaker 1: it up this morning. The Ravens are just lights out,

2309
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:44,400
Speaker 1: they're unconscious. Nobody came and keep up with them. But

2310
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:47,479
Speaker 1: you see it year in year out about peaking at

2311
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 1: the right time. The question is, is six weeks from now,

2312
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 1: eight weeks from now, the Ravens still gonna have this

2313
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:56,000
Speaker 1: much juice. It's tough to say. No, here's the thing.

2314
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 1: We can talk about him all day and we can say,

2315
01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 1: how do you stop these guys? They have gone against

2316
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:06,240
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll, Romeo Crenell, Wade Phillips, some of

2317
01:49:06,280 --> 01:49:09,519
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame guys, great defensive minds, And in

2318
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 1: those four games, Lamar Jackson has thirteen touchdowns and zero interceptions.

2319
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 1: He's playing flawless, flawless football. The only thing I can

2320
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 1: come up with, the only way to really stop him,

2321
01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 1: maybe is if you had a D line of just

2322
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:27,719
Speaker 1: absolute four Wolverines who can absolutely kill you. And maybe

2323
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,080
Speaker 1: the Niners have that. Maybe their D line is that good.

2324
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:32,640
Speaker 1: But any question you could answer me right now, the

2325
01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 1: answer is Lamar Jackson. I'm not saying anybody's stopping him

2326
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 1: because I saw Aaron Donald, who's the best player in football,

2327
01:49:38,439 --> 01:49:41,400
Speaker 1: and he was a distant afterthought on his home field

2328
01:49:41,439 --> 01:49:44,680
Speaker 1: last night against Lamar. So I like Baltimore against San

2329
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:48,280
Speaker 1: Francisco right now. I like Baltimore against anybody right now. Yeah.

2330
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 1: Could this game between the Ravens and the forty nine

2331
01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:52,599
Speaker 1: ers be a preview of the Super Bowl? Is certainly

2332
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: looks that way. Now. I mean these two teams are

2333
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:56,479
Speaker 1: on a collision course, and this is gonna be a

2334
01:49:56,520 --> 01:50:00,120
Speaker 1: fun game to watch this weekend. Oh, it's fantastic. This

2335
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:03,600
Speaker 1: is your regular season super Bowl. It certainly could be

2336
01:50:03,640 --> 01:50:06,240
Speaker 1: a preview. But there's a ton of questions to be answered,

2337
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:09,439
Speaker 1: and I think that, you know, I look at nobody

2338
01:50:09,439 --> 01:50:12,520
Speaker 1: knows better than Buffalo, But I look at Bill Belichick

2339
01:50:12,680 --> 01:50:15,080
Speaker 1: right now, and I think one of the great challenges

2340
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:17,960
Speaker 1: of this era of his career is can he stop

2341
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:20,400
Speaker 1: Lamar the second time around? Can they come up with

2342
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: the game plan to do it? Because there's not much

2343
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 1: to challenge Bill Belichick anymore. How many super Bowls he's

2344
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: been to? How many is one the challenges the greatest

2345
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,599
Speaker 1: athlete to ever play quarterback? It appears right now Lamar

2346
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:34,599
Speaker 1: Jackson coming in again and getting a second shot of them.

2347
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 1: So as much as I would love the San Francisco

2348
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:39,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore rematch really in the Super Bowl, I think I

2349
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:42,040
Speaker 1: would love to see it in New England too. I'd

2350
01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:43,720
Speaker 1: love to see a lot of teams. There's still a

2351
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 1: lot of questions to be answered. Let's not Crown Baltimore yet.

2352
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:49,240
Speaker 1: I still think there's New England is the thing. See

2353
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:51,640
Speaker 1: if the Bills answer some questions on Thanksgiving Day. You

2354
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:53,640
Speaker 1: have said on the show the other day, Kyle, that

2355
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:56,320
Speaker 1: the Bills will make a statement on Thursday, and some

2356
01:50:56,360 --> 01:50:58,760
Speaker 1: of your partners on Good Morning Football weren't ready to

2357
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,080
Speaker 1: go that far. But you think, are you predicting the

2358
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:05,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo victory in Dallas. I'm not predicting it, Steve. I'm

2359
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,839
Speaker 1: guarantee it. The Buffalo Bills will beat the Dallas Cowboys.

2360
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 1: And never mind my partners on Good Morning Football. And

2361
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:13,439
Speaker 1: let me assure you, as much as I love my

2362
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 1: two brothers and my sister, they have seen five seconds

2363
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 1: of Buffalo Bills football all year. They're off doing the

2364
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:22,200
Speaker 1: primetime games and the more prestigious teams, and they're all

2365
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 1: much bigger than me. Those guys, believe me, they're like,

2366
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:28,080
Speaker 1: what the Bills. Oh, they still play football in Western

2367
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:30,679
Speaker 1: New York. I'm telling you they will do it. Exeparate

2368
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 1: k K knows the Bills, but I do think the

2369
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: Bills will beat the Dallas Cowboys there. I think they're

2370
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:36,280
Speaker 1: a better team. I don't know if they have a

2371
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 1: better roster. I don't really care. I think the Bills

2372
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 1: will beat the Cowboys on Thursday, and the bills will

2373
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:44,599
Speaker 1: be a much much bigger deal in this country. On Friday,

2374
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:47,160
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you something too, something that jumped off

2375
01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:48,799
Speaker 1: the page. You go down and you check the scores,

2376
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, on your phone, your apps, and one of

2377
01:51:50,600 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 1: the scores that jumped off the page to me was

2378
01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 1: the Jets beat the Raiders thirty four to three. What's

2379
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:01,600
Speaker 1: going on with those two teams? That was wild? I

2380
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 1: mean that that was a shocking game, and it was

2381
01:52:04,160 --> 01:52:06,479
Speaker 1: just I don't know, Steve, It's something about me, it's

2382
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 1: the nostalgists, it's the NFL one hundred. I really want

2383
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders to be good, like I am an unapologetically

2384
01:52:13,720 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 1: route for them, just because I think they're one of

2385
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:18,200
Speaker 1: three or four teams where you can say the NFL

2386
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:20,640
Speaker 1: is better when they're good. I like their character. I

2387
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 1: like that they're sort of a villain. And I spent

2388
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:25,960
Speaker 1: all of last week saying they got it, they got

2389
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:29,599
Speaker 1: the momentum. They have this young team with John Gruden

2390
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 1: working and the Jets blah blah blah. They didn't even

2391
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 1: get on the plane. That was one of the worst

2392
01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:36,840
Speaker 1: no shows I've ever seen against the team. You know,

2393
01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm fine, they're picking up but there's still the Jets.

2394
01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 1: They're still doubt in the dumps, and they did not

2395
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:43,280
Speaker 1: show up. I think that was a great day for

2396
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs because of what the FC West

2397
01:52:45,920 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 1: looks like now. And listen, everybody sat there and laughed

2398
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:52,559
Speaker 1: hysterically at Sam Donald because well, we did the motto

2399
01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:54,439
Speaker 1: and then there's the ghost, and now the guy has

2400
01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 1: the gall to come out and say, we still think

2401
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:58,960
Speaker 1: we can make the playoffs. The math says that they won't,

2402
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:01,439
Speaker 1: but everything on the field right now says that they're

2403
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 1: here playing ball and they have this thing figured out.

2404
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 1: It's actually really cool what's going on in New York

2405
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:08,640
Speaker 1: because everybody in Manhattan just wants to hate them. It

2406
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 1: just wants to make fun of them and do photoshops

2407
01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 1: and memes. They're playing good football and Adam Gayson Donald

2408
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:16,800
Speaker 1: have it going on. So shocking output but I was

2409
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:19,639
Speaker 1: actually proud of the Jets. Kyle. Thanks for this, Thanks

2410
01:53:19,640 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 1: for your guarantee of a Buffalo victory Thursday, and thanks

2411
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:24,760
Speaker 1: for your Hall of fame, which is for both of us. Seriously,

2412
01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:27,800
Speaker 1: for both of you guys, two hall of famers. I'm

2413
01:53:27,920 --> 01:53:31,080
Speaker 1: very happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful to know both of you, gentlemen.

2414
01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk next week after the Bills blow the doors

2415
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:37,479
Speaker 1: off the Cowboy Happy. Thanks than Kyle Brand NFL never

2416
01:53:37,680 --> 01:53:42,160
Speaker 1: hosted Good Morning Footballs. He knows his stuff and he's

2417
01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 1: brilliantly funny. Can I say that to you. I appreciate

2418
01:53:45,520 --> 01:53:47,360
Speaker 1: his humor. I used to have that energy when I

2419
01:53:47,439 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 1: was he's just gone. We thank Kyle for joining us.

2420
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:54,559
Speaker 1: We're coming back with more. Come on back. Eight three

2421
01:53:54,760 --> 01:53:56,640
Speaker 1: fifty the number to call if you've got thoughts on

2422
01:53:56,680 --> 01:53:59,479
Speaker 1: the Bill's biggest challenge in this game against Dallas. If

2423
01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:01,800
Speaker 1: you're out of town, it's a toll free number one

2424
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:04,200
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. And we

2425
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:06,639
Speaker 1: gotta read some tweets from the tweet sheet as well.

2426
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:09,559
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by Collada Health from the Seneca

2427
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:13,639
Speaker 1: Studios in Archard Park, Seneca Resorts in Casinos. Nothing comes close.

2428
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:28,599
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Hey, it signed for Inside the numbers from

2429
01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 1: New York Lottery. Take a break from the expected place

2430
01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 1: scratch off games from the New York Lottery. Josh Allen,

2431
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 1: if he throws two touchdown passes or no. He had

2432
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,880
Speaker 1: two against the Broncos, so now he's responsible for two

2433
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:43,200
Speaker 1: or more touchdowns rushing and or passing in seven straight games,

2434
01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 1: the longest current street by an NFL quarterback. All right,

2435
01:54:47,360 --> 01:54:50,080
Speaker 1: welcome back. Hey, we're talking to you about this game Thursday,

2436
01:54:50,120 --> 01:54:52,360
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Dallas Cowboys. I will not be

2437
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 1: here tomorrow traveling to Dallas along with the team. You'll

2438
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:58,000
Speaker 1: have Maddie Glab hosting with you tomorrow on the show

2439
01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:02,120
Speaker 1: Madio Beyond. That'll be good chit chat while you're eating

2440
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:05,080
Speaker 1: shrimp and oh no, King Champagne in first class on

2441
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:08,600
Speaker 1: no first class, no sir. But and then the Thursday,

2442
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:10,240
Speaker 1: of course the game, and then we'll be back for

2443
01:55:10,280 --> 01:55:12,520
Speaker 1: another show on Friday, which is Steve said earlier. We'll

2444
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 1: look and feel a lot like a Monday show day

2445
01:55:15,080 --> 01:55:16,800
Speaker 1: after a game. What do you think, though, what's the

2446
01:55:16,840 --> 01:55:19,960
Speaker 1: bills biggest challenge with the Cowboys this Thursday? What do

2447
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:22,240
Speaker 1: you think will be the toughest hill decline? There's a lot.

2448
01:55:22,520 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a very very talented Dallas team.

2449
01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 1: I agree, by the way, with Kyle Brandt. I think

2450
01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:30,320
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna win. I'll have a score for

2451
01:55:30,360 --> 01:55:32,000
Speaker 1: you by the end of the show. I think the

2452
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:33,960
Speaker 1: Bills are a better team. I think Dallas has a

2453
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:35,720
Speaker 1: ton of talent, but I'm looking for a buffal to win.

2454
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 1: But what's the biggest challenge the Bills face this Thursday?

2455
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:41,360
Speaker 1: Nine hundred votes in on the Twitter poll, Sixty percent

2456
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:44,880
Speaker 1: of the respondents say it's zeke Ezekiel Elliott. Sixty percent

2457
01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:47,280
Speaker 1: of you say that's it. Twenty seven percent it's the

2458
01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:49,520
Speaker 1: passing game. They are the number one passing offense in

2459
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:52,360
Speaker 1: the NFL, number one offense in the NFL. Nine percent

2460
01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:56,360
Speaker 1: say the Cowboys defensive defense, especially their pass rush. Four

2461
01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:58,280
Speaker 1: percent have something else in mind. We've got time for

2462
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:00,520
Speaker 1: a couple of phone calls here. Let's go to Gene

2463
01:56:00,520 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Go ahead, Janior on the air. Yes,

2464
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call, gentlemen. I think the real

2465
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:10,880
Speaker 1: key to this game is that for one of the

2466
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:13,360
Speaker 1: big keys would be the Bills tight ends need to

2467
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:15,840
Speaker 1: have their best game of the season on Thursday. The

2468
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:20,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys have very active linebacking corps, and of course the

2469
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,240
Speaker 1: lineback the tight ends will be in the middle of

2470
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 1: most of that. So therefore, Dawson Knox can't afford to

2471
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 1: have any drops and Lee Smith can't afford to have

2472
01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 1: any untimely penalties. Also, I don't know if you guys

2473
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,800
Speaker 1: have readits or not, but since Sean McDermott took over

2474
01:56:38,840 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 1: the Bills in twenty seventeen, they have a lot of

2475
01:56:41,560 --> 01:56:45,240
Speaker 1: league low forty three touchdown passes and the season they

2476
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 1: only allowed seven passing touchdowns. That's only the Patriots have fewer.

2477
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:53,280
Speaker 1: And if you think about that, that's really an amazing

2478
01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:57,200
Speaker 1: stat based on you know, how bad our offense was

2479
01:56:57,760 --> 01:57:00,800
Speaker 1: last year and how many bad spots that defense was

2480
01:57:00,880 --> 01:57:05,280
Speaker 1: put in in terms of field position in that game. Yeah,

2481
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean they were good pass defense last year too.

2482
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:09,560
Speaker 1: You know, they were the third ranked defense. I don't

2483
01:57:09,640 --> 01:57:10,840
Speaker 1: I can look at up. I don't know what the

2484
01:57:10,880 --> 01:57:13,880
Speaker 1: past defense ranking was last year, but they were good

2485
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:16,160
Speaker 1: last year too, And it's we know what the strength

2486
01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:18,520
Speaker 1: of the Bills defense is, right, Jeane, The back end,

2487
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:21,840
Speaker 1: the safeties and the corners now Trodevius especially, and now

2488
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:23,760
Speaker 1: they've got a good pass rush going on, their top

2489
01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:25,600
Speaker 1: ten in pass rushing in the league, a lot of

2490
01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:28,040
Speaker 1: sacks in a couple of games. It's all coming together

2491
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:31,840
Speaker 1: for them in that department. Yeah, they're they're pretty consistent too.

2492
01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you've had a couple of games where they've

2493
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 1: allowed a little more rushing yards here and there, but

2494
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 1: they have yet to lay. In the Philly game, you

2495
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:42,480
Speaker 1: can point to and say they give up some points

2496
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:45,959
Speaker 1: and that's where that running game was really really showed itself.

2497
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 1: But for the most part, this has been a team

2498
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:52,360
Speaker 1: that's been solid as a rock over there, and that's

2499
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:55,040
Speaker 1: been uh, you know, you never know going into the

2500
01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:57,040
Speaker 1: game how it's going to turn out, but certainly that's

2501
01:57:57,040 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 1: been one of the things as teams leaned on. And

2502
01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:01,240
Speaker 1: I think it almost to the point, particularly in a

2503
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:03,080
Speaker 1: game like last week, I think it almost comes to

2504
01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:05,800
Speaker 1: a point where you can tell the coaches make different

2505
01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:09,040
Speaker 1: decisions in their game decisions know and they've got that

2506
01:58:09,160 --> 01:58:11,440
Speaker 1: defense to lean on. They can go a little more

2507
01:58:11,440 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 1: conservative offensively and play a field position game. No, and

2508
01:58:14,160 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 1: their defense. You've given up what three points and so

2509
01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:21,840
Speaker 1: and the three points you gave up was because of

2510
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:25,760
Speaker 1: a pick, so they I think it's so good. It

2511
01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:29,720
Speaker 1: affects the game strategy for your own team. So I

2512
01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:31,480
Speaker 1: think there's that as well. Do you have something else, Gene,

2513
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:35,320
Speaker 1: I think he's gone, let's go to um Tony in

2514
01:58:35,360 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 1: his car, Hello, Tony, Welcome to the show. Hey, good afternoon, guys.

2515
01:58:40,280 --> 01:58:42,800
Speaker 1: What a great position we're going to be able to

2516
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:47,920
Speaker 1: serve up Dallas a huge play to defeat Thursday. I'm

2517
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:51,440
Speaker 1: telling you because it's like, you know, Jerry Jones called out,

2518
01:58:51,480 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 1: the coaches, called out, you know, he says they got

2519
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:56,440
Speaker 1: the players, but it hasn't come together over there. But

2520
01:58:56,600 --> 01:58:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what to send them back a few

2521
01:58:59,200 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 1: years away from their super Bowl hopes to get back.

2522
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we're in the perfect spot just to stick

2523
01:59:07,320 --> 01:59:09,680
Speaker 1: it to them. And I think if the Bills play

2524
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:13,920
Speaker 1: mistake free football and they remained discipline the last bunch

2525
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:16,640
Speaker 1: of games, their personal mistakes have been down, you know,

2526
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:20,160
Speaker 1: the penalties that you can control, you know, and if

2527
01:59:20,160 --> 01:59:22,520
Speaker 1: they continue to brawl the way they've been the last

2528
01:59:22,560 --> 01:59:25,040
Speaker 1: three four weeks, I just this could be a huge

2529
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 1: thing for them. Yeah, this, I think this victory would

2530
01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:30,840
Speaker 1: do a lot for the Buffalo Bills. It'll give you know,

2531
01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:32,840
Speaker 1: first of all, more people are going to be able

2532
01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 1: to get a load of what this team is about,

2533
01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:37,600
Speaker 1: how they play, what it means, you know, what they

2534
01:59:37,600 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: look like. A lot of people have never seen this

2535
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:42,839
Speaker 1: team play this season. I'm talking about the Bills and

2536
01:59:44,040 --> 01:59:47,640
Speaker 1: I think it is. I mean, this is a this

2537
01:59:47,800 --> 01:59:51,680
Speaker 1: Dallas team. The reason they're having problems in Dallas and

2538
01:59:51,720 --> 01:59:54,160
Speaker 1: the reason there's some dissension down there and a little

2539
01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:56,840
Speaker 1: bit of turmoil down there is because they've got a

2540
01:59:56,920 --> 02:00:03,520
Speaker 1: bunch of really talented g did players. And that's what

2541
02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:05,800
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna play as those guys and we've

2542
02:00:05,840 --> 02:00:08,400
Speaker 1: seen it here before where you go in. If you've

2543
02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:12,720
Speaker 1: got that kind of players, if they can find the

2544
02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:15,080
Speaker 1: light switch and turn it on, they can embarrass it

2545
02:00:15,080 --> 02:00:17,760
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. And that's what the Bills have to guard against.

2546
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Like you said, I think mistake free football is the

2547
02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:22,840
Speaker 1: key for the Bills. But you also gotta, let's face,

2548
02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:24,600
Speaker 1: in a game like this, you gotta make some plays,

2549
02:00:24,840 --> 02:00:27,080
Speaker 1: so you gotta kind of throw caution to the win

2550
02:00:27,160 --> 02:00:28,960
Speaker 1: once in a while as well. If you've got a

2551
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:31,440
Speaker 1: guy like Josh Allen, if you got guys on the

2552
02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:34,000
Speaker 1: outside like John Brown Cole Beasley, you've got to continue

2553
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:35,520
Speaker 1: to keep your foot on the gas if you get

2554
02:00:35,560 --> 02:00:37,840
Speaker 1: an edge in this game, because you're gonna have to

2555
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:40,160
Speaker 1: make some plays to beat a really talented roster like this.

2556
02:00:40,240 --> 02:00:41,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet. It is brought to

2557
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:44,360
Speaker 1: you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official movers of the

2558
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:47,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. The bills biggest challenge when they match up

2559
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:50,560
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys on Thursday, James tweets and honestly, I

2560
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:53,120
Speaker 1: think it's ourselves. We can beat this team if we

2561
02:00:53,200 --> 02:00:56,040
Speaker 1: play our ball. We are trending up, gaining momentum at

2562
02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 1: the right time of the year. We are winning this

2563
02:00:57,640 --> 02:01:00,640
Speaker 1: game twenty four to seventeen. Go Bills like it. I

2564
02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:03,000
Speaker 1: kind of agree with you. I see it trend up.

2565
02:01:03,040 --> 02:01:06,240
Speaker 1: And look, I know it's only the Dolphins. It's only

2566
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 1: the Broncos three and seven and whatever the Dolphins were,

2567
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 1: what were they? Two? One and two? They won two

2568
02:01:11,240 --> 02:01:14,200
Speaker 1: in a row. But the Bills got better in those

2569
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:17,080
Speaker 1: two games, Steve, they got better against NFL low level,

2570
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 1: NFL caliber competition, step up this week. I get that.

2571
02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:22,720
Speaker 1: But I think they're confident, and I think they're playing better,

2572
02:01:22,720 --> 02:01:25,880
Speaker 1: and they've found not complete answers, but some answers on

2573
02:01:25,960 --> 02:01:28,720
Speaker 1: offense over the last couple of games. Yeah, I agree,

2574
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:31,160
Speaker 1: I think they have improved. Now, certainly you're going to

2575
02:01:31,200 --> 02:01:33,960
Speaker 1: look better against weaker opponents or teams that are good

2576
02:01:33,960 --> 02:01:35,560
Speaker 1: on one side of the ball and not on the other.

2577
02:01:35,680 --> 02:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Certainly the Bills offense got I think they made some strides.

2578
02:01:40,640 --> 02:01:42,680
Speaker 1: That was a good defense they played in against Denver.

2579
02:01:42,720 --> 02:01:45,000
Speaker 1: They're the number four defense in the National Football League.

2580
02:01:45,240 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 1: That's right about where the Bills were last year. And

2581
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:53,000
Speaker 1: once again the Bills got better offensively. They ran the

2582
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:56,520
Speaker 1: ball for two hundred and forty four yards against the

2583
02:01:56,520 --> 02:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Broncos defense. That's pretty good. So yeah, you got to

2584
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:01,880
Speaker 1: think that the Bills are getting better in a lot

2585
02:02:01,920 --> 02:02:04,000
Speaker 1: of areas. Where they get the credit forward or not,

2586
02:02:04,040 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 1: they'll depend on, you know, which games they win down

2587
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:09,360
Speaker 1: this stretch here. But I agree with you or if

2588
02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:11,720
Speaker 1: I think they've gotten better, certainly they've They've benefited from

2589
02:02:11,720 --> 02:02:15,080
Speaker 1: a soft schedule, but they won games, continue to improve,

2590
02:02:15,640 --> 02:02:18,839
Speaker 1: and they seem to be getting better at this last

2591
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:20,880
Speaker 1: five weeks the season at the right time. It is

2592
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:23,800
Speaker 1: the right time our Twitter pull today. The Bills biggest

2593
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:26,080
Speaker 1: challenge with the Cowboys, why don't you read the second one?

2594
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Go billers? Zeke is the biggest challenge with the Cowboys

2595
02:02:29,800 --> 02:02:32,560
Speaker 1: by a lot. You can't over commit to stopping him either.

2596
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 1: They're just gonna have to be sharp upfront on offense.

2597
02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:38,240
Speaker 1: The challenges to show up to a big time game.

2598
02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: They've been doing fine, but I don't quite trust that

2599
02:02:41,200 --> 02:02:43,760
Speaker 1: side of the ball yet despite how good they have been.

2600
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,440
Speaker 1: That's that's kind of probably sums it up for a

2601
02:02:47,480 --> 02:02:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of Bills fans. They like where the offense is

2602
02:02:49,880 --> 02:02:52,640
Speaker 1: what they've shown, what they've seen, But this is a

2603
02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:55,400
Speaker 1: step up in class from the last two games from

2604
02:02:55,440 --> 02:02:58,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the and the Broncos. The Cowboys are

2605
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:00,480
Speaker 1: a different animal. And the next two tweet, I think

2606
02:03:00,480 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I agree with this, Michael tweets. In the biggest challenge

2607
02:03:03,320 --> 02:03:06,240
Speaker 1: for the Bills with the Cowboys, Michael says the offensive

2608
02:03:06,280 --> 02:03:09,520
Speaker 1: line hands down, and Nikki kind of an accompanying tweet says,

2609
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 1: I've got to go with Elliott is the biggest problem.

2610
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:14,280
Speaker 1: If we cannot contain him, we might see a repeat

2611
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:17,040
Speaker 1: of the Eagles game. Dec And the receivers are a

2612
02:03:17,120 --> 02:03:19,680
Speaker 1: threat too, But I'm more confident with our past defense

2613
02:03:19,800 --> 02:03:22,680
Speaker 1: right now. Then if our offense can produce and avoid penalties,

2614
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:24,640
Speaker 1: I say we win. I get it, I hear it.

2615
02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:28,480
Speaker 1: I think it is. Look, I'm watching Cowboys last night,

2616
02:03:28,520 --> 02:03:33,400
Speaker 1: I'll watch more tonight. And Zekiel Elliott is really good

2617
02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:36,520
Speaker 1: and obviously we know that Amari Cooper is good and

2618
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:39,160
Speaker 1: dec is pretty good the quarterback, but it really it's

2619
02:03:39,160 --> 02:03:41,840
Speaker 1: their offensive line that's the engine. There. Stepid Celia is Yeah,

2620
02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:44,800
Speaker 1: their offensive line is massive. And Zeke Elliott is one

2621
02:03:44,800 --> 02:03:46,560
Speaker 1: of those running backs you see every once in a while.

2622
02:03:46,640 --> 02:03:50,600
Speaker 1: He does not avoid contact. And one of those old

2623
02:03:50,640 --> 02:03:53,160
Speaker 1: sayings is, wow, this guy gets better in the fourth quarter.

2624
02:03:53,240 --> 02:03:55,040
Speaker 1: And we've said it on the show a bunch. One

2625
02:03:55,080 --> 02:03:57,200
Speaker 1: of the reasons running backs like Zeke Elliot get better

2626
02:03:57,200 --> 02:04:01,080
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, guys, particularly if he gets to

2627
02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:05,040
Speaker 1: the second level, those smaller guys just get sick of

2628
02:04:05,160 --> 02:04:08,520
Speaker 1: hitting him and he getting hit by him. You just

2629
02:04:08,640 --> 02:04:11,520
Speaker 1: and you start to flinch a little bit, You start

2630
02:04:11,560 --> 02:04:14,560
Speaker 1: to He doesn't avoid contact, never avoids contacts. When you

2631
02:04:14,560 --> 02:04:16,560
Speaker 1: see him coming through, you're gonna have to hit him

2632
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:19,680
Speaker 1: and hit him hard and accept his challenge. He never

2633
02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:25,480
Speaker 1: ceases to bring the hit to the defender, and that

2634
02:04:25,560 --> 02:04:28,160
Speaker 1: wears a team out, particularly when he's got a massive

2635
02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:30,800
Speaker 1: offensive line giving him a head of steam before he

2636
02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:33,280
Speaker 1: ever sees contact. Yep, Hey, one more thing. We got

2637
02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:34,680
Speaker 1: to talk about this, and this came up during the

2638
02:04:34,760 --> 02:04:37,120

02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:32,200
Speaker 1: They do their homework, they take it extremely seriously. They

2697
02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:35,120
Speaker 1: talk about all those guys, they go buy the numbers

2698
02:07:35,200 --> 02:07:39,240
Speaker 1: and and buy stuff that's outside the numbers too. I

2699
02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:41,880
Speaker 1: mean they it's not just hey, look at his numbers

2700
02:07:41,880 --> 02:07:44,200
Speaker 1: comparing with this guy's. Now there's all the things, they

2701
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:47,880
Speaker 1: include everything. So I I'm not I'm not gonna make

2702
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:52,960
Speaker 1: any campaign. You know, I've always thought that that was unneeded,

2703
02:07:52,960 --> 02:07:55,440
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, you don't need to do

2704
02:07:55,480 --> 02:07:57,440
Speaker 1: that stuff. Those guys know it, and if you deserve

2705
02:07:57,480 --> 02:07:59,280
Speaker 1: to be in, they're gonna see it. So sooner or

2706
02:07:59,320 --> 02:08:02,680
Speaker 1: later it'll happen. If if if I don't. Now, I'm

2707
02:08:02,720 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 1: good with it. I'm you know that Murphy man, I've been.

2708
02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:08,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't have been happier with well, if we'd won

2709
02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:10,120
Speaker 1: one of those Super Bowls or you know four the

2710
02:08:10,160 --> 02:08:11,920
Speaker 1: super Bowls that have been happier, even a great Cup

2711
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:14,480
Speaker 1: would have been, even a great Cup would have I'm

2712
02:08:14,480 --> 02:08:19,560
Speaker 1: over three and those two. So um, yeah, it's it's great.

2713
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:21,400
Speaker 1: It's an honor, no question about it. But I trust

2714
02:08:21,400 --> 02:08:24,920
Speaker 1: the process completely and I'm not gonna do put any

2715
02:08:24,960 --> 02:08:27,120
Speaker 1: extra effort. And now I'm just twenty years since I played,

2716
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty two years since I played. I'm yeah, I'm good

2717
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:32,480
Speaker 1: where i'm at. I love where i'm at. I wish

2720
02:08:37,920 --> 02:08:40,080
Speaker 1: very cool. Question about very cool. Hey, I want to

2721
02:08:40,120 --> 02:08:42,040
Speaker 1: mention this before we hit the break. I got this

2722
02:08:42,120 --> 02:08:45,320
Speaker 1: book in the mail, Thanksgiving Football Buffalo Style, sent to

2723
02:08:45,360 --> 02:08:48,480
Speaker 1: me by by the author not long ago. Gary Cobb

2724
02:08:48,600 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 1: did all the research thanks Thanksgiving Football Buffalo Steve, did

2725
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, like many Bills fans are thing a while

2726
02:08:55,160 --> 02:08:57,520
Speaker 1: the Bills are playing Thanksgiving? First time ever? No? You

2727
02:08:57,640 --> 02:09:00,000
Speaker 1: played in nineteen ninety four in Detroit, lost a tough

2728
02:09:00,040 --> 02:09:03,680
Speaker 1: game at Detroits. Barry Sanders went while Yeah. They opened

2729
02:09:03,680 --> 02:09:06,000
Speaker 1: the game with a flea flicker, Yeah, and kind of

2730
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:08,080
Speaker 1: took control of it and we couldn't get it, couldn't

2731
02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:10,680
Speaker 1: get back on top. Thanks to Gary's book. In the AFL,

2732
02:09:10,720 --> 02:09:13,680
Speaker 1: the Old American Football League, the Bills played five games

2733
02:09:13,680 --> 02:09:16,120
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving days sixties. I didn't know that until I

2734
02:09:16,120 --> 02:09:18,680
Speaker 1: looked this up. All of them on the road. And

2735
02:09:18,720 --> 02:09:21,480
Speaker 1: I do remember this game nineteen seventy five, so I

2736
02:09:21,680 --> 02:09:24,640
Speaker 1: was what eighteen years old. But the Bills, there were

2737
02:09:24,680 --> 02:09:27,520
Speaker 1: two years when they didn't play Thanksgiving in Dallas when

2738
02:09:27,520 --> 02:09:30,120
Speaker 1: nobody played. They played in Saint Louis. They're trying to

2739
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:32,360
Speaker 1: prop up the Saint Louis Cardinals. The Bills are one

2740
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:34,720
Speaker 1: of those teams. In nineteen seventy five, the Bills had

2741
02:09:34,720 --> 02:09:38,120
Speaker 1: travel issues, snowstorm. The Bills arrived in Saint Louis two

2742
02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:40,960
Speaker 1: hours before kickoff, got suited up, went out and beat

2743
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:43,120
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. And I do remember watching that game. They

2744
02:09:43,160 --> 02:09:45,520
Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals thirty two to fourteen. Jim Braxton had

2745
02:09:45,560 --> 02:09:47,840
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Can you imagine you get to the game

2746
02:09:47,960 --> 02:09:50,080
Speaker 1: off the plane in Saint Louis two hours four kickoff,

2747
02:09:50,320 --> 02:09:52,800
Speaker 1: played the game and won at Saint Louis And and

2748
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:55,800
Speaker 1: then of course OJ had the famous game at Detroit

2749
02:09:55,840 --> 02:09:57,800
Speaker 1: thanks Giving two hundred seventy three. Rous do you think

2750
02:09:57,800 --> 02:09:59,760
Speaker 1: about it? And we always get caught up in this

2751
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:03,720
Speaker 1: Monday night, Thursday night, Monday night football, the Sunday at

2752
02:10:03,720 --> 02:10:06,040
Speaker 1: one and the four o'clock window and all that stuff.

2753
02:10:06,200 --> 02:10:08,840
Speaker 1: They think about the it's kind of cool that the

2754
02:10:08,920 --> 02:10:12,680
Speaker 1: league kind of has remember November, Yeah, and the Bills,

2755
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:15,600
Speaker 1: and we all were here and we live through it,

2756
02:10:15,680 --> 02:10:18,760
Speaker 1: you know how, you know everybody's gonna be at the game.

2757
02:10:19,080 --> 02:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, this game gets moved to Detroit.

2758
02:10:21,720 --> 02:10:23,640
Speaker 1: That stuff kind of It's kind of cool when that

2759
02:10:23,680 --> 02:10:25,880
Speaker 1: stuff happens right off the page press, particularly when you

2760
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:29,320
Speaker 1: thump the Jets as a result, which I which, by

2761
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:33,000
Speaker 1: the way, I called, um I was a sideline report.

2762
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't mean to call the game. I knew they

2763
02:10:34,360 --> 02:10:35,880
Speaker 1: were I knew the Bills were going to lump those

2764
02:10:35,880 --> 02:10:39,280
Speaker 1: guys up. I uh, but that was kind of fun.

2765
02:10:39,520 --> 02:10:42,080
Speaker 1: When really fun stuff that we don't expect happens, the

2766
02:10:42,120 --> 02:10:45,720
Speaker 1: league adapts makes it happen, and presto chango. You get

2767
02:10:45,720 --> 02:10:47,280
Speaker 1: a game like you did in Detroit. With it it's

2768
02:10:47,320 --> 02:10:50,480
Speaker 1: like a rock. It had general seating, remember yeah, November,

2769
02:10:50,520 --> 02:10:52,600
Speaker 1: and the gates opened up and all the Bills fans

2770
02:10:52,640 --> 02:10:55,040
Speaker 1: just shot down to the first ran down there, standing

2771
02:10:55,120 --> 02:10:57,080
Speaker 1: right on them. It was great until somebody had to

2772
02:10:57,080 --> 02:11:01,000
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. You then you lose your seat. Yeah, yeah,

2773
02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 1: so that's it. Steve will be here tomorrow with Manny

2774

2775
02:11:06,560 --> 02:11:08,200
Speaker 1: to show. More of this show to come, So come

2776
02:11:08,240 --> 02:11:10,680
Speaker 1: on back. One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Hell from

2777
02:11:10,680 --> 02:11:14,440
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio and Orchard Park, Seneca Resorts and Casino.

2778
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:32,040
Speaker 1: Nothing comes close. What do we learned from today's show?

2779
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:35,080
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2780
02:11:35,120 --> 02:11:38,360
Speaker 1: company all the Buffalo Bills. Skyworks. Hey, Chris Brown joined

2781
02:11:38,400 --> 02:11:40,480
Speaker 1: us today Bills inside of Buffalo Bills dot Com. He

2782
02:11:40,480 --> 02:11:41,920
Speaker 1: took a look at practice and we asked him our

2783
02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Twitter question, what's the biggest challenge for the Bills going

2784
02:11:44,840 --> 02:11:49,120
Speaker 1: up against the Cowboys Thursday. Here's what Chris sette. The

2785
02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:51,960
Speaker 1: thing that keeps rolling in my head is, with all

2786
02:11:51,960 --> 02:11:54,040
Speaker 1: the talent that Dallas can put on the field, both

2787
02:11:54,040 --> 02:11:58,760
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively, you've got to win the majority of

2788
02:11:58,760 --> 02:12:01,320
Speaker 1: the matchups. It's about winning the matchups this week in

2789
02:12:01,360 --> 02:12:04,000
Speaker 1: my opinion. Yes, the Bills play team defense, and that's

2790
02:12:04,040 --> 02:12:07,440
Speaker 1: probably part of what enables their defense to handle some

2791
02:12:07,520 --> 02:12:12,760
Speaker 1: of the difficult matchups. But realistically, you got you gotta

2792
02:12:12,800 --> 02:12:15,640
Speaker 1: be solid across the board against this team because if

2793
02:12:15,680 --> 02:12:19,280
Speaker 1: you shut down Cooper, the job's not over. You got

2794
02:12:19,280 --> 02:12:21,280
Speaker 1: Gallop over here, and you got Cobb in the slot,

2795
02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:23,720
Speaker 1: and we haven't even talked about the tight ends yet

2796
02:12:23,800 --> 02:12:26,360
Speaker 1: or Ezekiel Elliott coming out of the backfield. So there

2797
02:12:26,400 --> 02:12:30,200
Speaker 1: are so many things that have to be accounted for.

2798
02:12:32,280 --> 02:12:34,240
Speaker 1: That's Chris Brown. We also had Cody Ford on the

2799
02:12:34,280 --> 02:12:37,840
Speaker 1: show Buffalo's Rookie Right Tackle. We asked Cody Ford if he,

2800
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:41,280
Speaker 1: even in his initial season in the NFL, can detect

2801
02:12:41,880 --> 02:12:44,080
Speaker 1: what the Buffalo Bills team culture is. Here's what Cody

2802
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:48,720
Speaker 1: Ford said, And No, since I got here in the

2803
02:12:48,760 --> 02:12:51,560
Speaker 1: summer for rookie mini camp, you know, we've been building

2804
02:12:51,640 --> 02:12:54,680
Speaker 1: a team, first team, first team first and no matter

2805
02:12:54,760 --> 02:12:57,520
Speaker 1: what happens, you know, we always know we got each

2806
02:12:57,520 --> 02:12:59,240
Speaker 1: other and you know, we've got the guy next to us.

2807
02:12:59,240 --> 02:13:01,800
Speaker 1: And I think building that from the summer to now

2808
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:05,480
Speaker 1: has really helped us, you know, bond and things like that.

2809
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:08,760
Speaker 1: And I think at this point, you know, everybody's officially

2810
02:13:08,880 --> 02:13:11,360
Speaker 1: balled in to what we got going on and where

2811
02:13:11,400 --> 02:13:12,720
Speaker 1: we want to be and wherever we want to go,

2812
02:13:12,760 --> 02:13:15,320
Speaker 1: and everybody knows the process and with a taste, and

2813
02:13:15,360 --> 02:13:18,080
Speaker 1: like I said, everybody's buying in. So it's just everybody's

2814
02:13:18,480 --> 02:13:20,880
Speaker 1: molding together and things like that, you know, and you

2815
02:13:20,920 --> 02:13:23,360
Speaker 1: really don't even realize it unless you sit down and

2816
02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:25,880
Speaker 1: I observe. But you can feel it, and you can

2817
02:13:25,920 --> 02:13:27,840
Speaker 1: feel it in in the rooms, in the locker room and

2818
02:13:27,880 --> 02:13:31,160
Speaker 1: on the field. Cody Ford the injury report out from
