00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: the forlorn Green Babe Hackers, those of the three game losings. Yeah,

7
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers can be a tricky thing. Sometimes you

8
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: don't there do right, right, That's what imags. I mean,

9
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: there's always something. You can never have one of these

10
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: without having a little bit of angst to it that.

11
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: There's no way the Packers at a double digit underdog,

12
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: are gonna come in and lay down. I just don't

13
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: believe it, right, you know, So they're gonna give us.

14
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good game, I think, although they

15
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: as a franchise or oh since I don't know if

16
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: they've never won here. Yeah, and they're here and seven

17
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: is double digit underdogs over the last fifteen years. It

18
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. It doesn't happen very often, but it's for

19
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: good reason. They stink when they're underdogs. So we've got

20
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: that going for us. How was your bye? Week. You

28
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: that's great. Yes, I caught up with my folks and

29
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: then we drove down to see my son at school.

30
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Like I tell you all the time, the kid is

31
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: living his best life. It is ridiculous. He's helping out

32
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: with a Georgia football team, right, he was doing some

33
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: of that. Right. They had a bye week this week,

34
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: so he had some time for us. So that was good.

35
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, when I went to school,

36
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: I had a set amount of money for my meal plan. Like,

37
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: so as I got to the end of the semester,

38
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of had to be a little

39
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: judicious strategic, right, you know, to keep the balance there

40
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: by the time you got to your last final exam

41
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: and went home, and then it got rebooted for the spring. Semester.

42
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that I did this. The kids got

43
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: an unlimited meal plan. He told me, oh, let's pick

44
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: this Swans. He gained in weight. No, he's not, because

45
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: he's walking everywhere. Apparently the bus system there is hugely inefficient,

46
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: so he's literally walking everywhere, and it's like a two

47
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: and a half mile campus end to end, so you

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: know he's walking, he's lost five pounds, and he's eating

49
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: like a horse. Well, so we all, I remember those days. Yeah,

50
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: I remember what I could eat like a horse. That was,

51
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: uh yeah, yeah, meal pant plans. Yeah, I don't. What

52
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: I remember about college meal pans plans is write in

53
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: the check for him. Yeah, because when I you know,

54
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: when I written a lot more checks than I have. Well,

55
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: when I was on yeah, when I was going I

56
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: was on scholarship. So it's right. They were trying to

57
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: shovel his food, you know, and I had I couldn't.

58
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm like your kid, I couldn't. I was eating like

59
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: a blast furnace and you get another shovel of coal exactly,

60
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: and just could I could not do it. So fine,

61
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, after I went into college at one hundred

62
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: and forty seven, pounds really yeah, lifted hard, worked hard

63
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: at it, and came out at a buck eighty five

64
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: and there were it was, you know, it was a

65
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: four and a half five year career. I red shirted year.

66
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: And there were people in my small hometown when I

67
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: went back after like who are you? Yeah, and what'd

68
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: you do with Steve? If they didn't know who I was,

69
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: they were like, uh, oh, did you give a glandular problem?

00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: You a hyper? And I was, you know, I was

71
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: hitting it. I was a maniac in a workout. So

72
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: I was a completely different person, same height, you didn't

73
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: have a neck anything, the same hype, but I was

74
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: thirty pounds heavier right am, all the thirty five pounds

75
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: heavier with a smaller waist. I mean it was weird.

76
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: People were like, yeah, and where they dropped this guy out?

77
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: Yeah he doesn't look farms strong. You look vaguely familiar

78
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: farm strong. You don't get those muscles by bail and

79
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: hay right, So but yeah, so yeah, so I was,

80
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: And I so the meal plan thing is real. I'm

81
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: I ate, Yeah, I was. I was the time I

82
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: was sick of eating. You were at you were at

83
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: the end of the buffet, line and they were just

84
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: pushing everything off the end of the table into your gullet.

85
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: And I was I struggled with it, man, because I

86
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: really wanted to gain weight, because I knew, you know,

87
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: I wanted to keep going. But I was you know,

88
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: did you have to get up at night to eat

89
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: more or you didn't go that? No, because I know

90
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: there was no place to eat at night, and I

91
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, I had like a dollar so I couldn't

92
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: go out and eat. Wait a second, so that oh

93
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: you're saying when you were doing community college, or you're

94
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: saying when you were at North Northwestern, they didn't All

95
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: my players didn't have No, I'm just saying they didn't

96
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: have unlimited meal. They did, but not at midnight. Okay,

97
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: you know this is you know here, But yeah, meal plans.

98
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: You could find a place. I'll say this for what

99
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: you most of us pay for college these days. Yeah,

100
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: you need to feed them big, feed him well because

101
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the check's clear. Yeah, and it's I'm telling you man,

102
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: it's expensive. Oh, I believe it. I believe it. Um,

103
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: So I'm good for you. So that he's doing all right,

104
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: then you're doing great. You miss him. You don't have

105
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: to worry about him, right, No, I don't think so.

106
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Um yeah, so yeah, it was good to catch up

107
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: with him, and yeah, they'll be home in a few weeks.

108
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: How did you give it? What were you doing yesterday?

109
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: Because I was struggling yesterday. I just so we drove

110
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: back to my folks place in South Carolina and we

111
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: just kind of I plopped myself on the couch and

112
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: just see. I couldn't do that about We're walking around

113
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: doing stuff. I had no TV, no access. I was

114
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: checking my the NFL GESUS app and and like keeping

115
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: track of all the scores. I was losing my mind.

116
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: But it was, you know, the I've I've officially decided

117
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of the AFC. We're

118
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: seven weeks in. We're supposed to know more about what

119
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: this league is about, and I think we know less.

120
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? Like there is no

121
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, outside of the bills and the chiefs, I

122
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: don't feel like there's any defined answers as to what

123
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: we are dealing with. Do you know? You know what

124
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Like, I feel like we're really gonna have

125
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: to wait. It goes until mid November. December. Like that

126
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: four week window between the middle of November and the

127
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: middle of December. I think that those that four week

128
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: stretches going to finally create some separation. Here's the thing,

129
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: you're right, because you go can't Buffalo can't. Buffalo is

130
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: the one seed in the AFC. Can't Sea's number two? Okay, Well,

131
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: then you got like Tennessee, Baltimore, Chargers, Jets, Indianapolis. Are

132
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Right? They're not even on right right

133
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: now where I'm sitting with this team that we're here

134
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and the Chiefs, those teams aren't even on

135
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: the radar. They're like they're like distant blips. But Tennessee

136
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: is your division leader again, I crushed them? Well, right, um,

137
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore we beat in their joint. Yeah, I feel like

138
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very muddled. You know that the Jets

139
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: are kind of a problem, right, But that win yesterday

140
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: was super costly. Bruce Hall may have an ACL injury,

141
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: might be out for the year. Elijah Vera Tucker went

142
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: down with an injury, one of their best offensive lineman, crusher,

143
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: and they also lost the wide receiver Corey Davis went

144
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: down with an injury. You're kidding. So they lost three

145
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: starters yesterday, one who has been their most consistent productive

146
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: offensive weapon in Bruese Hall Hall. I mean that is

147
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: he is the bit literally the biggest support system to

148
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. He's been their engine. Yeah, and he might

149
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: be gone for the year. That's a that's a crusher

150
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: because Bruce Hall. I didn't see any updates on the

151
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: highlight yesterdays. He snapped off another fifty yard touchdow. He

152
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: runs a four to three nine. He outran everybody in

153
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: the end zone and our guy, I an Eagle called

154
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: him Bruce Lightning, which I thought was pretty brilliant. It

155
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: was a sixty two yard touchdown and he, I mean,

156
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: he's walking away from people. It was unbelieved the Bronco

157
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: and the Broncos are hot garbage, but Bruese Hall, I

158
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: can't believe that guy is not going to be there

159
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Well, they said they're fearing

160
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: it's an ACL, they did not confirm it. That's supposed

161
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: to happen today. I guess he's supposed to have an MRI.

162
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any updates yet from any of the

163
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: Jets reporter that I know, of So there's that. We'll

164
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: have to wait and see because it's it's an important

165
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: thing to keep tabs on. Because the Bills play the

166
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: Jets a week from Sunday in New York, so they

167
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: don't have Bruese Hall. That's a big loss for them,

168
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: So that would be tough. And then you look at

169
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: the NFC. Steve, I don't know what to think. Like

170
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm watching that Chiefs Niners game yesterday, thinking, okay, ers

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: are at home, they're tied with the Bills to have

172
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: the number one defense in football, and the Chiefs lit

173
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: the fire. They cannot get out of their own way.

174
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: And I don't want to put it on one guy,

175
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: but it's all Jimmy Garoppolo. It's a problem. He can't

176
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: He is not the answer. He can't pull the trigger.

177
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: He is. He belongs in the Hall of decent, not

178
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: even the hall of of frustrating. The guy sitting back

179
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: there and your thing you gotta let go, and he

180
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: won't let it go. He won't pull the trigger, and

181
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: you're sitting there, dude, But then he inevitably will make

182
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: one or two just enough horrible decisions every game. I

183
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: mean that lofted pass to a five eight receiver on

184
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: the goal line. What yeah, I get it, get it later, believe.

185
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe the Niners went up in and I'm

186
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: telling you that the Chiefs embarrassed them. It was well,

187
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: they just put their fight in the gas and said, okay,

188
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna go third quarter. Bills learned it and the

189
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: whole league should know it. If you're gonna beat the

190
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, you gotta outscore them, period. And I

191
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: know it sounds well, of course you gotta score. No,

192
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna score points. You gotta score. You gotta put

193
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: your foot on the gas offensively and score touchdowns on

194
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: more possessions than they do. They hunk forty four points

195
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: on the number one defense in the league yesterday, and

196
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: because of that, the Bills are now defense in the league.

197
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: Well after standing alone after tonight, it might be the Patriots,

198
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: because the Patriots play the Bears, and I'll just going right,

199
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: the Bears are gonna get shut out tonight. They will

200
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: not score a single point and they're gonna be an

201
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: embarrassment to the NFL and the great city of Chicago.

202
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if New England can catch Buffalo for

203
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: the top spot for points allowed or total defense, that'll

204
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: be two shutout beat and said, well, yeah, maybe, I guess.

205
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: I guess if they do, Yeah, if they shut them out,

206
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: I suppose it's possible. I'll have to go. I'm telling

207
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: you the math during the break the Bears and eber

208
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: flews their head coach, They're not going to score point

209
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: on the Patriots. I'm telling you right now, Mac Jones

210
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna be able to play tonight. Don't

211
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: know if you know who knows which of those quarterbacks plays,

212
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: whether it's mac Jones or Bailey's happy and quite frankly,

213
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: and I'm dead serious, it doesn't matter which of those

214
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: two guys play tonight, because the Patriots are gonna win

215
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: by double digits. It is an absolute, absolute certainty. Yeah,

216
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: let me just let me just go out on a a

217
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: limb and saw the limb off that I'm standing on,

218
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: because I know, since I'm doing this, I'm gonna look

219
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: like a fool. The Patriots are probably lay an egg. No,

220
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots are gonna shut them out and win big.

221
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: They're going with Mac Jones. Coming back to the line,

222
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: which it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter if No,

223
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: it matters not neither one of them, either one of them.

224
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: It matters not. It matters not. They could Matt Slater

225
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: could play quarterback for the Page tonight as a special

226
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: teams player, and the Patriots shut them out in Yeah,

227
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I will give you credit for this

228
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: because you said it at the beginning of the season.

229
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: The Chargers are going to be the Chargers. Everybody was

230
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: high on the Chargers. They are still in a playoff

231
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: spot in the seventh seed as we currently sit at

232
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: four and three, but they just lost J. C. Jackson,

233
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: their top corner to a dislocated kneecap. They're already without

234
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: their starting left tackle for the season in Rashawn Slater,

235
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: they lost a couple of weeks ago, and now Mike

236
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: Williams as an ankle injury. As they are just getting

237
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen back in the lineup. They are a mash

238
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: unit there every single season and it compromises their ability

239
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: to win football games because they don't have anybody to

240
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: suit up and play. I don't get it, like you've

241
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: got You've got to make changes there. I would think

242
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: on the medical and I realized that it's not all

243
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: about you know, sports science and that kind of stuff.

244
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: But some of it is. Some of it is, and

245
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: I can't have bad luck for that long. I mean, man,

246
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: it's there's something in there if it if it happens

247
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: so much, and it's something that they've done. And I'll

248
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: say this too, when Dan Fouts was playing and they

249
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: were so good and couldn't get to the super Bowl,

250
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: and they had one really good stretch when Bobby Ross

251
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: was their head coach and Stan Humphreys was their quarterback

252
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: and they got to a super Bowl in ninety five.

253
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: After the Bills went to fourth straight, the Chargers got

254
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: to one. They had a nice stretch there. But that's

255
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: it for them. And it's not like they haven't had

256
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: good players, haven't had star players. There's something there. There's

257
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: something there more than just you know, a fourth down

258
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: coach or you know a call like that. There's something

259
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: in there that causes franchises to perennially stink fall short

260
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: underachieve name. Describe the adjective you want. It's like the Bears,

261
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: it's like the Lions, the Chargers, the Bengals have done it.

262
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: Although the Bengals, despite their multi years with losing seasons,

263
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: once in a while, they catch lightning in a bottle

264
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: and they get there. There is something like they did

265
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: last year, like they did way back in the day

266
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: when I was playing, when they got in against the

267
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: nine Ers. They got in against the Niners twice, so

268
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: they've been to three of them. They catch lightning in

269
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: a bottle seemingly once in a great while, but then

270
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: they go right back into where they were for the

271
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: ten years between. Yeah, we'll talk about more of how

272
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: the AFC is shaping up, along with the NFC for

273
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: that matter, when we have Michael Robinson join us at

274
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: his weekly visit fresh off the pie week from NFL Network.

275
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: He'll be joining us in about fifteen twenty minutes time here.

276
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: But we are going to turn now to Bill's defensive

277
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: coordinator Leslie Frasier, who is addressing the media this morning

278
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: fresh off the bye week, and from what we understand,

279
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: there could be somewhat of an update from him on

280
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: one Tredavious White. So let's turn now to defensive coordinator

281
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier. I know you've been pleased which your young cornerbacks.

282
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: Can you just talk a little bit about your two

283
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: rookie cornerbacks and also the play of Matt Mulano. I

284
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: think nationally people are beginning to notice what you've already

285
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: known for the last few years, just how well he's

286
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: been playing and has had some tremendous impact plays in

287
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: these first few games. Yeah, with the young corners, both

288
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: Kaya and Kristen, they've done a terrific job for us.

289
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Pat, you've been following the league for a while,

290
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: you know how challenging that position is for any player

291
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: son a rookie playing corner in the National Football League,

292
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: where you're going to have that bulls out on your

293
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: chest early on. And I think our guys have done

294
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: a good job with standing some of the pressures of

295
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: being a corner and then been a rookie at the

296
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: same time. Now we've kind of rotated them both to

297
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: kind of bring them along, and I think that's been beneficial.

298
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: But their preparation and the way they practice has really

299
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: led to the success that they've had on the field.

300
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: And you know, we probably wouldn't be where we are

301
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: as a defense without their contribution and positive contribution, because

302
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: early on, you know you're thinking that they're going to

303
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: be targets. You have an idea at least you're hoping

304
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to hold up, but you

305
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: really don't know. But they've both done a terrific job.

306
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: So we're very proud of them. And they're learning every

307
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: single day of practice, learning every game that they play in,

308
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: and just keep following that away. When it comes to Matt,

309
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: I think you're right on when you say people are

310
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: discovering what we already know. I mean, he's a terrific

311
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: football player. I'll stand in linebacker, one of those hybrid

312
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: types that everybody's kind of looking for. A guy who

313
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: can cover, he can play the run game, he's a

314
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: good blitzer. Uh, he's just an all around, you know,

315
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: good player of us. A Swiss Army knife in some

316
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: ways because we can use him in so many different ways.

317
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: So we're fortunate to have him. Uh. There never is

318
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: a mismatch when he's on the field because of his

319
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: athletic a building, the way he prepares and studies hard. Uh,

320
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: he's a coach's dream, and the way he comes to

321
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: work every single day. So a combination of having Matt

322
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: milan Or along with Tremaine, that's a great combination at

323
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: the linebacker spot for us. Thank you, coach, you willcome,

324
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: Hey leslie, John Warrell? How are you doing? Hey? John?

325
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: How are you hope you got to enjoy your bye?

326
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: Week by weekend? Off? Um? Other speed of cornerbacks? What

327
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: about Turnavious White? Um? Difficult to hold him? We've all

328
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: talked about how difficult it is to hold him back,

329
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: but now that he's been practicing, how difficult has it

330
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: been over the past a little while to hold him back? Really? Yeah?

331
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean he's jumping at the bit they get going,

332
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm just deferring to the doctors and

333
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: just let them letting us know based on his recovery

334
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: from one practice to the next, you know how much

335
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: closer he is to getting on the football field and

336
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: live competition. But he's making great progress, and you know,

337
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to when he can go out there

338
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: with with with our normal players and playing a game.

339
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like we're that far away from that.

340
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: But we'll see how this week goes. But so far,

341
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: so good. How much it went, not not to say

342
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: the career and Christian you know nothing against those two,

343
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: but how much of a security blanket is tradabus White?

344
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: And how much do you did you have you missed

345
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: him just maybe just just his personality and just his

346
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: ability on the field, you know, being out there, you know,

347
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: having missed all this time. Yeah, yeah, you know he

348
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: has missed quite a bit of time. But you recall John,

349
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: when he's out there, man, I know, from my standpoint,

350
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: you just feel very secure about that position and the

351
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: person that he's lined up against, and it just gives

352
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: you a certain comfort level as a play caller knowing

353
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: that tre Davis White is manning that corner position down.

354
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: Nothing against what our young guys have done. They've done

355
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: a terrific job for us, for sure, But tre Davis

356
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: is one of those guys who's been in the Pro Bowls.

357
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: He's massed up time and time again against some of

358
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: the top wide receivers in our league. And you know,

359
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: we look forward to when he's back out there at

360
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: playing at that Pro Bowl level. I know it's going

361
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: to be a gradual process once he comes back, but

362
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to when he's back. Thanks, You're welcome, hey, Leslie.

363
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: Similar to what John just asked, beside it's what Trey

364
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: can do on the field, What are you excited to

365
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: have him back? With what he can do off of

366
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: the field when he adds to the cornerbacks room as

367
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: a whole. I know he's been able to be around

368
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: now that he's in that window period to come back

369
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: to the active roster, But what do you get with

370
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: Tredavious White when it comes to off the field stuff,

371
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: whether it's in the film room, whether it's just in meetings,

372
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: or whether it's just his personality that hasn't maybe been

373
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: there as much as as it has, you know, as

374
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: much as it would have been with him, Well, his personality,

375
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: definitely that will be an ad on That's that's the

376
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: side that the fans don't always get a chance to see.

377
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: But man, you've been around him. He's one of those

378
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: guys who keeps it loose. You know, he's always joking

379
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: and cracking on his teammates, and you know, you kind

380
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: of miss that when things get tense in our business

381
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: because you're so locked in on trying to get a win.

382
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: To have a guy who can kind of, you know,

383
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: break it up a little bit but yet still go

384
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: out and play at a high level. Unique guys like that,

385
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: and he's one of those guys. So it'll be great

386
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: to have that back around again. But also for our

387
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: young guys just to watch the way he works and

388
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: the way he prepares for opponents. He takes great notes,

389
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: he has a foul on almost every receiver that he

390
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: goes up against, and so for our young players to

391
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: see him in earnest as he's preparing for a game.

392
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: It's a lot different when you're sending the meetings and

393
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: you know you're not going to have to play. But

394
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: now that he's getting in that preparation mode to go

395
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: out and play in the game, our young players will

396
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: be able to learn how he prepares and how he

397
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: goes about his business away from the practice field, which

398
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: is so so important. The way he studies tape, the

399
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: way he takes notes on players, and how he translates

400
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: that front of the classroom to the practice field. That's

401
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna be really good for our young players. And then

402
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: in terms of just preparing for the Green Bay Packers,

403
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: I know they haven't had this season that I think

404
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: maybe some people expected them to have. But when you're

405
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: preparing for a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, I know you

406
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: probably don't get fooled by the stats, but are you

407
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: kind of like but they have Aaron Rodgers they're always

408
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: able or capable of doing something that we need to

409
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: prepare for. So I guess what have you seen from

410
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: their film that maybe tells you a bigger picture of

411
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: what the stats or their record looks like right now. Well,

412
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: it starts with what you just said. They have Aaron Rodgers.

413
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback, terrific,

414
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: terriffic football player, and he's more than capable of leading

415
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: his team putting his team on his back. So I

416
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: mean it starts there. And they have a football team

417
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: that's that's had success in the past. I know they've

418
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: hit a bumping roll of late, but it's still so

419
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: early in our season. They have enough time to write

420
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: the ship and they've got the right guy leading them

421
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: to get that done. So we're gonna have to play

422
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: our best game of the season to have success. And

423
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is a terrific quarterback, and they still have

424
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: some other players that are good players as well, and

425
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: there is the NFL, so gonna have to play really,

426
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: really well to come away with a win. You're welcome

427
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: the afternoon coach Phraser George Redney challenging community news. How

428
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: are you doing this afternoon. I'm doing well, George doing

429
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: will watching the day is how do you get the

430
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: guys refocused? Since most of them are most like they've

431
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: been out of the building for over a week. How

432
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: do you get the guys refocused and get them ready

433
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers? I think, George, we have

434
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: a pretty mature group. It scenes. You know, this was

435
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: our first day back, and the guys really locked in

436
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: in the meetings. They have goals that they want to

437
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 1: see achieved. And I think because of our leadership that

438
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: allows us to be able to come back and focus

439
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: on what we have to get done and move on,

440
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, from the first six ball games of the

441
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: season where you want to grow and learn from and

442
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: our leadership is what really makes me feel comfortable, along

443
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: with our coaching staff, that will come back with the

444
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: right mindset and the right approach as a defense and

445
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: really as a team. And the last question, how do

446
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: you go about a veteran quarterback like Aaron Rodgers showing

447
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: him thinks that he may haven't seen in a while,

448
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: or it's quite funny, he probably haven't seen almost everything.

449
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: How do you go about that with a veteran going

450
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: against the veteran QB. Well, I think you hit the

451
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: nail on the head. He's probably seen just about every

452
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: defense you can show him, so I don't know how

453
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: often I'm going to be a bit tricking. It'll come

454
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: back for us to fundamentals and technique and I are

455
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: being able to execute at the end of the day,

456
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: so it won't be a lot of trickery. Just don't

457
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: know if there's anything he hasn't seen. But if we

458
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: can execute our defense and really play with good fundamentals

459
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 1: and good technique, that gives us a chance. All right.

460
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: That's defensive coordinator Leslie Frasier addressing the media this morning

461
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: or right actually just minutes ago. It happened right at

462
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: noon and we just joined a couple of minutes after

463
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: he got underway, and basically he said that Tradevius is

464
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: getting very close and they'll have to see how the

465
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: practice week goes. To me, Steve, that leaves the door

466
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: open for the possibility of him returning to the active

467
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: roster this week, but we'll have to wait and see.

468
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: It's ultimately in the doctor's hands. Yeah, they'll it's in

469
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: the Tredavius hands, the doctor's hands, and to see how

470
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: he feels. And the sports scientists hands, they'll they'll they'll

471
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: have a voice in that conversation as well. They'll have

472
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: data and statistics and everything about you know, how it

473
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: is for guys when they come back. What's it like? What?

474
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: What do you have to watch out for? Uh? Is

475
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: he gonna pull a hamstring when he comes back and

476
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: starts to turn it up to one hundred percent of intensity?

477
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to find all that out in the

478
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: lead up to whether he when he gets on the field,

479
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: and they're in the midst of doing that. So yeah,

480
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: and Tardevius is gonna have, you know, give him some

481
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: honest feedback about where he's at. I know how anxious

482
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: he's probably got to be to get out and do that,

483
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean you and I talked about it

484
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: a lot. I anticipate when he comes back. I don't

485
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: know how he's gonna feel, But I think to all

486
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: of us watching him, we're not gonna be able to

487
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: tell difference. I don't think so either. I also think

488
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: you have a tremendous advantage in the fact that you

489
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: have two young corners and Dane Jackson who you don't

490
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: mind putting on the field at all. Yeah, And so

491
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: if you want to bring Trey back slowly and put

492
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: him on a pitch count this week, sprinkling, put him

493
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: on a pitch count next week, and just kind of

494
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: work him back in steadily. You can do that. He

495
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: doesn't have to run. You don't have to run him

496
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: out on the field and play him sixty five snaps

497
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: this week. You can play twenty, you know what I mean? Yeah, ten, Yeah,

498
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: you could play him like every other series. You can

499
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: rotate him in like you do the two rookies, I mean,

500
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: will luxury you have. Yeah, it really is and it's

501
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: a it's a great place for the team to be. Certainly,

502
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: the the five and one start that they're off too

503
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: gives him some you know, some slack, and it takes

504
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: and it takes the sense of the urgency out of it,

505
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: completely out of it. So, um, he's gonna come back.

506
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna come back. When he does come back, he's

507
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a hundred ready. And that's what we can

508
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: look forward to. You know, the stuff we were talking

509
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: about Leslie Fraser and his remarks just a minute ago.

510
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: The last couple of questions we're about Aaron Rodgers and

511
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: the Packers coming in town. And the Packers, you know,

512
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: took it on the chin yesterday from the Washington Commanders,

513
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: which I mean, I was looking through all the picks

514
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: and nobody was picking the Commanders, And because it was

515
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke, it wasn't even their starting quote unquote starting quarter.

516
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: And I get it. The media is going to ask

517
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: ask Leslie about, you know, Aaron Rodgers, who's one of

518
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: the great all time quarterbacks, certainly one of the great

519
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of his of this generation, and we've all been

520
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: watching for the last fifteen years. To me, this game

521
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: is not about Aaron Rodgers. This is maybe the first

522
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: time you've played the Green Bay Packers. It's not about

523
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. About the others. Aaron's not gonna beat you

524
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: standing back there holding the ball. He's not gonna beat

525
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: you with his legs. Their running game doesn't really scare

526
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: me that, you know what I mean. It's going to

527
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: be about whether the offensive line and the running game

528
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: and the wide receiver can they all take it up

529
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: a notch because they really need to. Yeah, their defense,

530
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: nieces play it up a notche. It's Aaron Rodgers can

531
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: play as good as he wants, but he is he's

532
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: not got the roster around him that enables a quarterback

533
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: of his caliber and his skill set to flourish. Yeah,

534
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: so that's that's what this is. This isn't about Aaron Rodgers.

535
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: This is about the others on the Green Bay Packers.

536
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that more, but we have to take

537
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: a break now. When we return, NFL Network analyst and

538
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: resident of Bills Mafia, Michael Robinson joins us for his

539
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: weekly visit. We will talk about some of the wildest

540
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: storylines that have unfolded here through the first seven weeks

541
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 1: of the season, as well as this upcoming Bills Packers matchup.

542
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: It's Mike rob next here on One Bills Live. All right,

543
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

544
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: with you. It is that time for our weekly visit

545
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: with NFL Network analyst and member of Bills Mafia. It

546
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: is one Michael Robinson joining us fresh off the bye week.

547
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: Not that he took it bye, he was still ardently

548
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: watching any and all NFL football. Mike, how you doing

549
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: doing great? Doing great? Guys? Hope you guys are awesome too. Yeah, Yeah,

550
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: we were talking about this. At the top of the show,

551
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: We're seven weeks in, Mike, I feel like I know

552
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: less about what some of these teams are about than more,

553
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: But the heck's going on here, I can't. I feel

554
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna have to wait until like somewhere between

555
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: mid December and mid or mid November mid December before

556
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I have any semblance of an idea

557
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: on what half of these teams are about. Well, you

558
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: know what, I agree with you, and I think some

559
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: of your you know, some of your issues with trying

560
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: to identify what's going on with these teams are that

561
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: the traditional powerhouse teams just aren't the better teams right now.

562
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: You have less practice than in the offseason. You have um,

563
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, guys getting paid a lot more money, and

564
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: you have the top of guys, you know, the top

565
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: of the NFC, with guys like Tom Brady, guys like

566
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers just not looking good. And you have teams

567
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: like the New York Jets and the New York Giants

568
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: were in the recent past. We're not traditionally used to

569
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: seeing these guys look good, and they're looking good. So

570
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: I think it's more of not necessarily knowing, not knowing

571
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: these teams. But it's just that things have been reversed, right,

572
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, the bad teams in the recent past is

573
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: starting to be good and then the good teams are

574
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: starting to be bad. Yeah, it's interesting because you in

575
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: the AFC, you've got Pittsburgh and New England down in

576
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack. Pittsburgh actually is number fourteen

577
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: in the conference. New England's all the way down to ten,

578
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: you've still got you know, and the Chargers are at

579
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: number five, even though they're you know, at four and

580
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: two there, they look like they're trending the wrong direction.

581
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: In the NFC, Green Bay, New Orleans is out of it,

582
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, all these teams are kind of down towards

583
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: the bottom still at seven weeks in, and the buyers

584
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: are starting to hit Buffalo coming off thereby. It does

585
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: seem to be particularly in the AFC. You go to

586
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City, you go to Buffalo, and man oh man,

587
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: everybody else is just an afterthought at this point. I know,

588
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: we got a lot of football to go and this

589
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: game could change, but it just seems like, particularly when

590
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City goes to San Francisco yesterday and absolutely lights

591
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers on fire and just leaves towns

592
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: throwing a gas can on the fire. Just walked out

593
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: that that was surprising to me. Well, it wasn't to me, Guys,

594
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be I'm gonna just honest with you.

595
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: When you look at that match up the Kansas City

596
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the San Francisco forty nine is, obviously you

597
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: got to be able to get to Patrick Mahomes like

598
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: we were able to. I'm talking about the Buffalo Bills

599
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: when I say we like we were able to with

600
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: just four Russias and drop seven. Well, um, the Sancio

601
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: forty nine is are a little banged up. Yes, Joe, Yes,

602
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa played, but Eric I'm still didn't play. They

603
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: were banged up in the secondary and so they had

604
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: to pick and choose their spots when the Blitzpatrick Mahomes

605
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes one of those guys. Know about one

606
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: of those guys because we have one of those guys

607
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. When you have one of those guys,

608
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: one of those guys that can will your team two

609
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: wins anytime that they want to. And if you give

610
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: those guys opportunity to, they will when you blitz him,

611
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna make you pay. And that's exactly what Patrick

612
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the Kansas City Chiefs did. But when you

613
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: talk about the top teams in the AFC, I just

614
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: think what you're seeing is the two best quarterbacks in

615
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: all of football rising to the top and willing their

616
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: teams to wins. Talking about Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes,

617
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned the other teams that call themselves New York

618
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: teams even though they play in New Jersey, and you

619
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: know one six and one, the other ones five and two,

620
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, this is not something we're used

621
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: to seeing. I want to believe that, you know, Salah

622
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: is turning that thing around. We obviously have a great

623
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: affinity for Brian day ball. We can't blame them for

624
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: who they have to play on their schedule. But are

625
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: those records it's a little bit of fools gold or

626
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: is what level of legitimacy do you attach to that

627
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: six and one and five and two records of the

628
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: Giants and Jets respectively. Well, again, to your point, they

629
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: can only play who the National Football League put on

630
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: their schedule. We can't. We can't be mad at the

631
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: fact that maybe the teams we thought were gonna be

632
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: good just aren't. We can't be upset at the fact

633
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: that Green Bay it looks looks terrible out there, and

634
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: so when they play the New York Jets they lose

635
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: that game. You just can't. You can't anticipate those things.

636
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: But when I when I look at the New York Giants,

637
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: they're playing with a confidence that I haven't seen those

638
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: guys play with in a long time. They're healthy. When

639
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: you have a guy and a force, a generational back

640
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: like a se Quon Barkley, and he's healthy, every team

641
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: that walks into play that, to play that, to play

642
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, they know we gotta stop se

643
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: Quon or we have to do something with se Quon.

644
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: We have to deal with sa Quon if we want

645
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: to have any the opportunity of winning this game. So

646
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: it starts with the It starts with you having to

647
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: defend him, and then the quarterback players complimentary. Now I'm

648
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 1: not so sure Daniel Jones can continue to play mistake

649
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: free football. Right. He gives you three or four plays

650
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: a game where if the other team capitalize on it,

651
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: they lose. You know, the New York gihnts lose the game.

652
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: They haven't been the other teams haven't been able to

653
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: capitalize on those three or four mistakes that Daniel Jones

654
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: have made in every game since he's been in the

655
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: National Football League. And then when I look at the

656
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: New York Jets, to me, they're playing more of a

657
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: legitimate style of football. They're running the football, they're playing

658
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: great defense, They're getting after the quarterback. A silent hero

659
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: for the New York Jets. Defensive coordinator Jeff Albrick. I

660
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: know he works with the special teams as well. He

661
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: was a part of helping to get that block field goal.

662
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: He was also a part of getting after quarterbacks and

663
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: getting after Aaron Rodgers a couple of weeks ago, and

664
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: things like that. So yeah, I would say more of

665
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: the fools goal to me, and my opinion would be

666
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: more with the New York Giants and the New York

667
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: Jets to me, seem to be playing a little bit

668
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: more of a real football. I would agree with that.

669
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: And there's always a group of teams and there's always

670
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: a philosophy that follows coaches around. Belichick was one of these.

671
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels was a big one of these philosophy guys

672
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: where listen, if we don't mess it up, they're gonna

673
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: give it to us. And it seems to me the

674
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: Giants are in that boat. Certainly, you could say maybe

675
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers are one of those teams. These

676
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: teams aren't don't have the gas in the tank to

677
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: run off and leave teams like the Chiefs do, like

678
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: the Bills do, and some of these teams that are

679
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: like that can't aren't good enough to do it, like

680
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: the Chargers. They got a good roster, and you know,

681
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: they just give it away. You know, they're one of

682
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: those teams that can't play mistake free enough and solid

683
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,479
Speaker 1: football enough to give teams a game. Miami Dolphins seem

684
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: to be one of those teams that they just wait

685
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: for him to give it up. And you know, Kenny

686
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: Pickett last night, too late picks and the Pittsburgh Stealers

687
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: go home with a loss instead of beating the Dolphins.

688
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 1: So they're always seems to be that group of teams

689
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL that just hope to play mistake free

690
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: and let you give them the game. Certainly, the Giants

691
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: have proven that you can do it at least for

692
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: a stretch. How far, Mike, do you get with that philosophy. Well,

693
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: let me tell you this, it's tough to win a

694
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: championship with that philosophy. I mean it truly is, because

695
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: you have to be able. In my opinion, you have

696
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: to be able to you have to be able to

697
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: play any game that the game presents to itself. Let

698
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: me give you an example. You know our Bills team, right,

699
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: there's been games this year where they go down early, right,

700
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: and they have to be able to, you know, throw

701
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: the football a bunch of times to get back in

702
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: the game. We have that ability to be able to

703
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: throw the football to get back in the games. There's

704
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: been games where you know, you look at we play

705
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. We were up by so much, right,

706
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: we had to play a style of offense in the

707
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: second half of that game where we could keep a league,

708
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: work on some things, run the football, and do some

709
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: things that we know what's going to help us later

710
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: on in the season. Not a lot of teams have

711
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: the flexibility to be able to play the different types

712
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: of games like that. Again, I feel like this Bills team,

713
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: and really the Kansas City Chiefs team when you when

714
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: you look at how these games have been playing out.

715
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 1: When they're up, they can hold onto a league, whether

716
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: it's being because the quarterback is just that guy can

717
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: complete any pass that he wants to, or because the

718
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: play caller understands Ken Dorsey and Eric b Enemy understands

719
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: how to run the football and how to you know,

720
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: protect the box and understand how to get extra defenders

721
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: out of the box with the passing game. And then

722
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: you have a defense, right, a defense that can get

723
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: after the quarterback in waves if they're if they're up,

724
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: and if they're down, they can force the issue and

725
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: take the football away from opposing offense. And so again,

726
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: I'm championship teams are about flexibility and about being able

727
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: to present any game that presents itself to it. And

728
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: there's only a few teams this season that can do it.

729
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: And I'm glad Bill's Mofi and the Buffalo Bills were

730
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: one of those teams. So let's talk Bill's Packers here briefly, Mike,

731
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: because Packers are reeling losers of three straight. Aaron Rodgers,

732
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: inexplicably after yesterday's game, says playing a team like the

733
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: Bills might be exactly what we need, And I said, well,

734
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm so sure about that, Aaron,

735
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: you may want to take a look at the film

736
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: before you say that, But okay, I think this is

737
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: the last thing that the Packers need. They need to

738
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: get right game, and I just don't see it happening

739
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: against a Bills team coming off a buy with a

740
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff that's had two weeks to prepare for them

741
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, five and oh under McDermott,

742
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: off of buys. Yeah, the only way I see the

743
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers winning this game is if all of

744
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: a sudden, Davante Adams walks through their door and he's

745
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: a Packer all of a sudden, You know what I'm saying.

746
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: A just throws for six hundred yards in the game,

747
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Sick doesn't play. You know, a lot of

748
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: different things have to happen, in my opinion, for this

749
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: to be a good opportunity or a good game for

750
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Look, I think from a Bills standpoint,

751
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: we have to look at the fact that this is

752
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: a reeling team. This is a team that has a

753
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: broken offensive line, This is a team that defensively, they

754
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: can still get after you. But in the secondary they

755
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,959
Speaker 1: give up some big plays. So I believe they're gonna

756
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: have to steal a possession, whether it's on side kick,

757
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: whether there's a fake punt, whether it's a fake field

758
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: goal something. They're gonna have to do some things extra

759
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: to steal some possessions away from the Buffalo Bills. And

760
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: then when we have the football score every single time

761
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: we get the football to continue to put the pressure

762
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: on that Green Bay Packers' offense. Matt Laflour, he hangs

763
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: his he hangs his hat offensively on running the football.

764
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: They ran the football for thirty eight yards against the

765
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders last week. That tells you all you need

766
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: to know about this team offensively for the Green Bay Yeah,

767
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too, it's that when you get

768
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: into this game, you know, Bill's Packers. To me, if

769
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: there's one weakness of the Bills have displayed this year,

770
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: they turn it over too much. Now, they got a

771
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: lot of gas in the tank and they can always

772
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: overcome it and know but they got a lot of takeaways.

773
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: Josh is throwing some interceptions. They fumbled the ball a

774
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: ton and lost a lot of those fumbles. If there

775
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: is an achilles heel to the Bills season, it has

776
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,479
Speaker 1: been their turnover. They had third. They lead the league

777
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: in takeaway so their defense is helping and they got

778
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: a positive turnover ratio. But the moment that goes away,

779
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: that would be the achilles heel. That maybe, like what

780
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: you're saying, stealing a possession, that is exactly what the Packers,

781
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: I think would would be counting on. They would be

782
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: counting on that. But guys, you gotta understand the nature

783
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: of how our team is built. And I'm gonna say

784
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: I'm Bill's Mafia too. Guys, you gotta understand the nature

785
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: it hides built. Right when we're up, we continue to

786
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: throw the foot all with Josh Allen because he's one

787
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: of those guys. We have the receivers on the outside,

788
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: we have the offensive line to protect, and some of

789
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: the short passing takes the place of running the football.

790
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 1: So when you throw the football a lot, the ball

791
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: is in harm's way a little bit more so the

792
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: numbers are gonna go up. Or broken clock is right

793
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: twice a day, right, just by sure chance, the fact

794
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: that you're throwing the ball more those turnover numbers are

795
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: gonna go up. But as you mentioned, right, defensively, we're

796
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: built to take the football away. And that's how this

797
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: team is built, is built to throw the football to

798
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: deal with some turnovers now that Josh Allen has the

799
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: mentality now that he doesn't have to play hero ball

800
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: after one turnover. And I saw that Week one, he

801
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: had a couple of turnovers in Los Angeles and he

802
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: continued to stay focused with the game plan and they

803
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: came out winning the football game in an explosive way.

804
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: I just think that the way this team is built,

805
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: that we're built to overcome those type of inequities that

806
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: in some offenses would kill some teams. Mica Olay is

807
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: good talking to you. We will catch you up with

808
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: you this week, hopefully after another Bills dub enjoy the

809
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: prime timer. We'll do guys. You guys be good. All right.

810
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: That's Michael Robinson from NFL Network, resident Bills Mafia member

811
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: and with us each and every week during the football season.

812
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: Always good to break it down with him. We will

813
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: take a break here. When we come back. Steve and

814
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: I are going to discuss an interesting thing that happened

815
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: after the Bucks Panthers game with Mike Evans leaving the field,

816
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: he was approached by two officials who asked for his autograph.

817
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: That's a problem. We'll discuss it next when we return

818
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. It's

819
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. So every week we see different videos

820
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: surface around the NFL, you know, phone people shooting video

821
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: on their phone of players and stuff. Well, after the

822
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: Bucks Panthers game this weekend, video surface of Mike william

823
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: or Mike Williams, Mike Evans, receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

824
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: being stopped by two of the crew officials after the

825
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: game in the tunnel on the way back to the

826
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: locker room, and the way it appears, it looks like

827
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: they're asking for his autograph. Now, he is a team captain,

828
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: and I was trying to ascertain whether captains have any

829
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: postgame responsibilities in terms of doing anything with the officials

830
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: that would necessitate a signature, you know, on the crew

831
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: card whatever. I know, I have not found anything to

832
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: that effect. And after a loss too, right, I mean,

833
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: just got trounced twenty one to three by a team

834
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: playing their third string quarterback. It's weird. Yeah, So the

835
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: whole thing is kind of weird. It's yeah, and officials

836
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 1: are not allowed to do that kind of stuff. It's

837
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: it's not legal for obvious reasons. The NFL and the

838
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: NFL PA CBA specifically says game officials shall not ask players, coaches,

839
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: or any other team personnel for autographs or memorabilia for

840
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: obvious reasons. And I'll give you a perfect example. I'm

841
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: watching this go down, and the first thing I did

842
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 1: was I looked up the crew work in that game,

843
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: and I crossed referenced it with the crew that worked

844
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: last year's Week fourteen game that was stolen from the

845
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: Bills down in Tampa Bay by the staff that refused

846
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: to call pass interference twice on Stefan Diggs. Tell me,

847
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 1: was it the same crew? It wasn't, okay, thankfully, because

848
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: I would have been scouting at the brown you are altmate,

849
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: you're back back and to the left, back to the left.

850
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys that ate up JFK the

851
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: movie by Oliver Stone for Breakfast Lunch. Oh my guys,

852
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: that is us them that it's not the same crew.

853
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: So yes, and but that's that's what it lends itself

854
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: to when that stuff happens, it's obvious the league has

855
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: protocols and rules in place to keep that from happening.

856
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: But it's kind it's an honor system. I mean, nobody's

857
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: gonna make they don't have anybody back there like this,

858
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: just perchance getting video guys walking off the field. And

859
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: for players, I mean, it's never happened to me, but

860
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: I've had conversations with officials coming off the field saying, hey,

861
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: what do you think? Hey again, a nice game? That

862
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: out of that kind of thing, and it's always fairly

863
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: and even despite my history of getting thrown out of

864
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: my last game. You know, you see those guys so much,

865
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: particularly you know, I played for thirteen years. I mean

866
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: I saw those guys a lot. And you get, you know,

867
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: crews where you get to be acquainted with those guys

868
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: and it's not a big deal and you don't you

869
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: really don't expect preferential treatment, but you do be able to.

870
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: What you do get out of it is the ability

871
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: to go up and talk to the guy and say,

872
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Right? Like you you totally blew that.

873
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,959
Speaker 1: What's explain that to me? And that kind of stuff

874
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: you can't kind of get some you feel like he

875
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: gets some leeway that way, and whether you get more

876
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: than anybody else would, you know, who knows. But that's

877
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: why the league has rules against that stuff. Man, you

878
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: can't it's a bad if anything, it is bad optics.

879
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: And we know how the league feels about bad optics.

880
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: It's not so bad on this in this case because

881
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: the Bucks got their heads handed too much, right, So

882
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's kind of a moot point. Yeah,

883
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: But as NFL Networks Tom Pella Sero is reporting, the

884
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: NFL is looking into and investigating just what went down

885
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: in that exchange where Mike Evans is clearly writing something

886
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: on a sheet of pas. It is possible this, This

887
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: is possible as well. And it's it's a small world.

888
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: They may have mutual friends, they may have you know,

889
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 1: they may share a relationship outside the lines of football.

890
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: They may know, can I get your phone number? Yea?

891
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: Or a football camp that we're running? You know your hometown,

892
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: Hey month, the guy you went to my son you

893
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: went to high school with, said to say hi that

894
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, that kind of stuff. That is not out

895
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: of the realm of possibility either. So there is a

896
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: chance for these officials and players to have personal relationships

897
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: or mutual you know, extended kind of family relationships outside

898
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: the game, and that's you know what. That's fine. So

899
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: we don't want to pass judgment, but I will say

900
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: it looks like the optics are not good and the

901
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: league is very very they're always concerned about optics. And

902
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: that's yeah, the Bucks lost, So it's not like sorry

903
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: about that. Can I have your autograph? But yeah, you

904
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: gotta in instances like this, it's nice to bring it

905
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: to light so that an instances where it would look

906
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: bad where Mike Evans just caught the winning touchdown pass

907
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: after throwing the defensive back to the ground, you know,

908
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: or his team winning when the other team should have

909
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: gotten a pass interference call and they didn't, like last

910
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: year in the overtime game against Buffalo. You know, the

911
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: stuff we've been talking about. So in this case, his

912
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: team lost, he's walking off the field and the officials

913
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: had an interchange. I don't know, so whatever it was,

914
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: so it'll be investiating. It's good. We have to take

915
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: a break here, but before we do, it has been

916
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: confirmed and MRI has confirmed Jets running back Bryce Hall

917
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: Breecee Hall suffered a torn acl so he is out

918
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: for the season. So unfortunate news for the rookie running

919
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: back who was really really hitting his stride here as

920
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: we approached mid season. A terrible blue plane for the Jets.

921
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: And we'll have to see what they do at five

922
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: and two. Do they try to make a move to

923
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: restock the backfield. I don't know if they do. They

924
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: have Michael Carter a couple other guys, but I don't

925
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: know if you're replacing that dude. You're not an explaining

926
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: to him. And I'll say this, we need to talk

927
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: about it. But the trade went down over the weekend

928
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: for Christian McCaffrey, who showed up for the Niners over

929
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: the weekend. If that trade hadn't taken place, and he

930
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: was still sitting out there, the Jets would almost, if

931
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: they really wanted to make it most of this season,

932
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: would almost have to go out and get him. But

933
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: now he's not available. Bruce Hall was a dude, is

934
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: a dude, and to lose him for this season is

935
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: crushing to the Jets. That's because that's not just about

936
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: the production either, Brownie. That's about having a guy that

937
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: this young guy who's fresh and ready to go, just

938
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: disappearing for them. And that's that's hard in the locker room.

939
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: When you see a good dude and a great player

940
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: have to sit down. That's that's gonna suck the wind

941
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: out of their locker room. Yeah, and as we said,

942
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: the Bills play the Jets in two weeks. They'll be

943
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: playing them in week nine, right after they play the

944
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: Packers this coming Sunday night, they'll be on the road

945
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: of Medlife Stadium. But the Jets will not have the

946
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: most productive and consistent offensive weapon in their arsenal in

947
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: Bruce Hall. We take a break here. When we come

948
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: back second hour of the show, we're gonna take some

949

Speaker 1: of it Bills related as they were on the bye.

Speaker 1: What's the whildest storyline through the first seven weeks of

Speaker 1: fifty kids us up on the tweet sheet at one

967
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Is there something that sticks out for you?

968
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: There's a couple the Packers stink, Tom Brady's all of

969
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: a sudden looks old, all right, the Jets, the Giants. Yeah,

970
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: there's there's some stuff. Yeah. Um, that's about That's where

971
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: it starts with me. For me, I thought the AFC

972
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: was going to look vastly superior to the NFC the

973
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: year with the quarterbacks coming in, and I've been shocked

974
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: by the transfers from the NFC. Russell Wilson doesn't even

975
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: look that's surprising. Yes, doesn't even look like Russell Wilson anymore.

976
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: And he's got these injuries that are miraculously cropping up

977
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: the day after losses, not saying they're not real, but

978
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean it makes you wonder sometimes. And then there's

979
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: rumblings out of Indianapolis that Matt Ryan's arm is done,

980
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: that he can't get the ball to go where he

981
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: wants it to like he used to, which you know,

982
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: isn't a foreign concept for a thirty eight year old

983
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: quarterback who's thrown the ball at time in his fifteen

984
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: seasons in the league. So I think it's that the

985
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: AFC is not definitively superior to the NFC. Does a

986
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: matter of fact, you've got one, two, three, four teams

987
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: with five victories in the NFC. You only have three

988
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: in the AFC. It's a muddled it's a muddled mess

989
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,959
Speaker 1: of mediocrity in the AFC right now. Well, AFC's playing

990
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: a lot of AFC teams too, so they're knocking each

991
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: other off. And I'll say this too, the disappointing Lamar Jackson.

992
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: They're three and three, four and three now Herb Yeah,

993
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: Herbie um, justin Herbert four and three, Joe Burrow two, um,

994
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's better. But they're not, you know, they're not world beaters.

995
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: And Russ Wilson is a huge disappointment. UM, Pittsburgh struggling

996
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: to find their guy. A lot of these quarterback questions

997
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: or you know, replacements have been at best, UM, particularly

998
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: the rough Russ Wilson move to Denver. That's that's been horrible. UM.

999
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,240
Speaker 1: In the NFC. However, you know Kirk Cousins still plugging

1000
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: along up in Minnesota. Is that guy ever gonna go?

1001
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: He's like, he seems to me like he's sixty. He's

1002
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 1: been playing for every played for Washington forever. He was

1003
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: on the Remember this, you want to talk about a

1004
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: guy who's hit a home run? Financial He played for

1005
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: Washington's fourth round pick, the same thing as RG three,

1006
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: same year back up. He was just backup. Then he

1007
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: gets plugged in. No, he's okay, now he's playing. Now

1008
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: we're not gonna we're yeah. You like that. They played

1009
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: had a four year deal instead of a five year deal.

1010
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 1: But then they franchise him again. They franchise him again,

1011
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: so then they said, you know what we can do better,

1012
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: right instead of playing this guy nine gazillion dollars. Well,

1013
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: then Minnesota gains. He goes through his whole contract, gets

1014
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: franchised twice, then goes to Minnesota and cashes in again.

1015
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: And he's still playing. And now they're five, they're six

1016
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: and one, five and two six and what are they now?

1017
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 1: This thing needs to be refreshed. And one they're five

1018
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: and we're okay, they're five and one. I mean, how

1019
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: so all these quarterbacks in the NFC, are you know

1020
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, yea, all these guy Garoppolos, you know, got

1021
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: his head handed to him yesterday. Matt Stafford done. But

1022
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: Zach Dak Prescott who Cooper Rush is playing as well

1023
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: as Dak Prescott, So they're they're winning with a roster,

1024
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: you know. So there's a lot of quarterbacks in the

1025
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: NFC that are kind of overachieving, the kind of playing

1026
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: a little better along for the ride. They look better

1027
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, I mean, are you kidding me? He's Smith,

1028
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: He's resuscitated his career. He looks a whole lot better

1029
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: than Russell Wilson. He looks better than when I came.

1030
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: Polly was knocking him out. Oh wow, there's a guy

1031
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: that's learned a couple of things in his in his

1032
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: time in the league. Right, He's a better, better player,

1033
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: better team made better quarterbacks a straw. Right, Yeah, I

1034
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,919
Speaker 1: would say this is the wildest story line for being

1035
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: through the first seven weeks, the wildest. If you told

1036
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: me at the beginning of the season that the most

1037
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: superior divisions in this league competitively after seven weeks would

1038
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: be the AFC East and the NFC East, I would

1039
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: have told you you are smoking something. But here we

1040
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: are after seven weeks, and every team in the AFC

1041
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: East is above five hundred, is five hundred or better,

1042
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: and only Washington is under five hundred. As a matter

1043
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: of fact, Washington's the only team after seven games with

1044
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: under five wins. In the NFC East, Dallas is five

1045
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: and two, and the Giants and Philly are six and

1046
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: six wins. I don't know. You could have listened. You

1047
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: couldn't have told me how sure a thing that was.

1048
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: I still wouldn't have put bet on that happened in

1049
00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: the NFC South, nobody's above five hundred. Well they stink,

1050
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: I think, I think. Well, I guess we wouldn't have

1051
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: thought Tampa would be that, But yeah, here we are.

1052
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Atlanta, Carolina, New York. You knew there was

1053
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: gonna they were gonna trol but man, the last year

1054
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: the NFC East. The NFC East was putred last year.

1055
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: Now they're world be years. Coaching matters. Coach, it all matters. Yeah,

1056
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: it all matters. Coaching, the ownership, everything, There's a there's

1057
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: a gazillion moving parts in all these franchises. You got

1058
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: to have a bunch of them working, you know, Bills

1059
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: a proof of that, you know that. I mean, we

1060
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: sat through that odyssey for seventeen years trying to get

1061
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: enough things in moving in the right direction. Right, Yeah,

1062
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: it's hard. Uh. There was one other thing that I

1063
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: noticed in terms of playoff race, because I think we're

1064
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna be thinking more and more about that with each

1065
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: passing week seating. Not only did the Bills have the

1066
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: head to head on Kansas City, Kansas City's conference record,

1067
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: Steve is two and two. Yeah, it's two and two.

1068
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: That you know, there's a lot of time between now

1069
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,439
Speaker 1: and when everybody's played their twelve conference games. But something

1070
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on because it's an early tiebreaker

1071
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: after head to head, especially when you have two teams

1072
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: in the same conference, not the same division, battling one another.

1073
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: But let's go to the phones at eight oh three,

1074
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one, eight eight eight, five fifty two

1075
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: five fifty open line for you there? What is the

1076
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: wildest storyline for you through the first seven weeks of

1077
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: this NFL season? And why we go to Jerry in

1078
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: Lavonia to lead us off? What do you have for us? Jerry? Well,

1079
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: how are you guys are doing today? Good? Good, good?

1080
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:45,959
Speaker 1: That's beautiful days and oh my gosh. Yeah. The reason

1081
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm calling is yesterday I watched the Giants game and

1082
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: the pre season of the pregame show, they did a

1083
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: skit that was a great if you're a Buffalo Bill's

1084
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,479
Speaker 1: Monster fan, you gotta see it. They had two guys

1085
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: dressed our guy garage should say, dressed up. The guys

1086
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: dressed up with the Giants jersey and the girls dressed

1087
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: up with the Jets jersey. But they're talking about how

1088
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: great the New York teams are. Well, next thing you know,

1089
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: a guy shows up with a Josh Ellen jersey. Show

1090
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: it up right, and they go, what are you doing here?

1091
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: You know, like he's not from New York and they

1092
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: go on and on. I don't want to tell you

1093
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: the whole thing, but if there's any way you guys

1094
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: can pick that up, maybe you put it on our

1095
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: act because I'd love to send it to some of

1096
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: my giants relative friends, you know, and because it's hilarious

1097
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: because yeah, the Bill's guy gets the last word and that. Yeah,

1098
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: check it out if you can. All right, Okay, as

1099
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: far as far as far as the season is concerned,

1100
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys, I'm like, what is going on?

1101
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I thought Brady was looking old

1102
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning of season. Anyways, and U and Aaron Rodgers,

1103
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on in his head. But yeah,

1104
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not I'm not the fleas, you know. I'm

1105
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: happy that, you know, and after seeing what Buffalo did

1106
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh and considering what uh Miami couldn't do to Pittsburgh,

1107
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: I think that kind of showed something also, and also

1108
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: that you know, we've really kind of dominated every game,

1109
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: even the Miami game. We had almost five hundred yards

1110
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: or what they're two twelve. Yeah, I mean that was

1111
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: the thing in Miami. I mean the Bills just didn't

1112
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: have enough gas in the tank to finish off some drives.

1113
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: And you tip your hat to Miami. I mean they

1114
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: had some they played really good defense against the Bills.

1115
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: And Um and that's their strength. I mean, they're they're

1116
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: hanging on they're hanging on that defense this season, and

1117
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: it's right for them to do that, particularly, you know,

1118
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: with what two has been going through Um and his

1119
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, for this season, trying to stay healthy. But

1120
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: that's that game was, you know, it was about it

1121
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: was about trying to you know, break through for the

1122
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. We could never get a lead. You couldn't

1123
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: get it and hold it. And you know, the Dolphins

1124
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: played from the front and they played very well. That's

1125
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: the way it is. I mean, it's you can say

1126
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: what you want, it's really true. The Dolphins put together

1127
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: a nice performance that day and the Bills playing it

1128
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: you know that in that whole heat and exhaustion thing,

1129
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: it couldn't get it together. And that's just the way

1130
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. I wonder if Miami, I wonder

1131
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: if my me being puzzled about just what the AFC

1132
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: has to offer is rooted in my interest in trying

1133
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: to target and locate and identify, you know, who the

1134
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Bills have to worry about, you know, when it comes down,

1135
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, when they get down the stretch here, and

1136
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: it's very hard to identify anyone outside of the Chiefs.

1137
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: I know Tennessee is very quietly improved to four and two,

1138
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: and they're gutting out games. They lost Annehill in the

1139
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: game yesterday, came back in and finished, and then he

1140
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: leaves the game and leaves the stadium in a walking boots.

1141
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: So people are wondering what's going on there. But they're

1142
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: just grinding out games as you would expect them too.

1143
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: That's just Verbel style. So maybe you do still have

1144
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: to worry about that team. For some reason. I think

1145
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore is going to figure it out. I don't think

1146
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: they're going to be demolishing teams the way the Bills

1147
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs are, but somehow, some way, I think

1148
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: they get to ten or eleven wins. Baltimore hasn't always

1149
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: been an interest with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. They're really

1150
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: interesting to watch and they're hard to get a handle

1151
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: around about what they are because once in a while,

1152
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Lamar throws the ball like Gang, but he's got a

1153
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: great arm and he's a quick release. But they're a

1154
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: different animal. They're a different animal. They got an MVP

1155
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: caliber quarterback and it seems as though it's hard to

1156
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: build around him, you know. But you can down the

1157
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: list of the team, You're right, Brown, you can down

1158
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: these lists of teams, and it's like I can't identify him. Yeah,

1159
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: it's like definitively like we're gonna have to look out

1160
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: for this team later in the season, you know what

1161
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, there isn't one of those right now.

1162
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: The way everybody's four and three, right, we're three and four.

1163
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: It's the we're three, three and one right right, that's

1164
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: the way it is. The thing about it, too, is

1165
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: you look at the Bill because you see the Tennessee

1166
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: Titans kind of sneaking. The Bills hung forty one on

1167
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: those guys and held them to seven points. Yeah, I

1168
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: mean they thrittled that team, and we're just supposed to

1169
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: be like, I don't know, they're pretty No, I can't.

1170
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Can't get your mind around it. And I get it.

1171
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: It's a roller coaster, but man oh man, and you're

1172
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: looking at and then the Pittsburgh almost beat Miami yesterday

1173
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: too late too, not just one. Two late interceptions take

1174
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: the victory away from Pittsburgh being able to win that

1175
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 1: Gamesburgh should have had two interceptions of their own two

1176
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: with through two with while two definitely two A through

1177
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: one to Terrell Edmonds and he tried to catch it

1178
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: with his chest plate. I gotta get Tremaine on the phone.

1179
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: He's got to call his brother. What is going on.

1180
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: They dropped two stone cold interceptions that were that couldn't

1181
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 1: have been these gifts, and then two others that would

1182
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: have been nice catches. But there was literally four throws

1183
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: that should have could have been. And you know, you

1184
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: have seen be picked off in the league this year,

1185
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: maybe even this last weekend in other games, and the

1186
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Steelers bunked all four of them, all four of them

1187
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: in a game they were one score down. So you

1188
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: get you get into games like this where the Bills

1189
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: throttled the Steelers, they throttled the Tennessee Titans, and all

1190
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden, those teams are climbing back into it.

1191
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: And Miami, who was tooting their horn. Now they've lost,

1192
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: Now they've lost three in a row. Now they they're

1193
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: back in the winning and after escaping last night at

1194
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 1: home against Pittsburgh. It I don't know, it's a roller

1195
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: coaster ride. You'd like to be able to stand up

1196
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: and see where the tracks go. Though, and you just can't. No,

1197
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: you just can't. Your your viewpoint isn't good enough yet

1198
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: to make a definitive conclusion about any of these teams.

1199
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 1: So that's that's I think that means I know less. Yeah, yeah,

1200
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: then I did at the beginning of that was a

1201
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: point of this this Twitter question was you know, what

1202
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: do you think? I mean, it's hard to get your

1203
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: mind around where these teams are because they are you know,

1204
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: the Bills have been doing it themselves, although they've squeaked

1205
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: out some wins. Yeah, the Baltimore wins a good one.

1206
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: You know, the Miami game is frustrating if you're a

1207
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: Bills fan. Is hard and the Chiefs and the Chiefs

1208
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: it was a good you know they're hard fought, but

1209
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, you win those one score games. Okay, you

1210
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: don't feel like you're riding that roller coaster, but it's

1211
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:43,919
Speaker 1: a little bit of a roller coaster. I think every

1212
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: one of the giants six victories has been by the

1213
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: score or all seven of their games have been won scores,

1214
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: and they've won six out of one, six out of seven.

1215
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phone and see what DJ

1216
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: and Lockport thinks. DJ, what do you got for us

1217
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: here all one bills live. Hey, yeah, just quick. The Giants,

1218
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: I think they've only won their all their games by

1219
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: like a total twenty seven points or something like that. Yeah,

1220
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: and then, um, before I get to my point, I

1221
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: feel like too, I had a bad game last night.

1222
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: He had a good start to the game, but after

1223
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: he took that hit from that scramble to the right

1224
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: down in the red zone, I felt like he didn't

1225
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: really look the same. Not that he got hurt, but

1226
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: whether he got a little skinnish or what. But a

1227
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: lot of thros are off, a better defense is gonna

1228
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: pick those balls off, and that game's lost. But so

1229
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: my seven week thing that you guys are asking about

1230
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: it is. Unfortunately, it's not necessarily much different from you know,

1231
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the last twenty years of football. But I feel like

1232
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of agreed to calls and no

1233
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 1: calls by the reps. I feel like it's not obviously

1234
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: every year you could say that, but for whatever reason,

1235
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: this year, whether it being just the most recent up

1236
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: to date ones, there's been a lot of calls where

1237
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: the rests have been kind of implementing themselves into the

1238
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: competition and created more of a drama instead of an

1239
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: actual game like just I'm hoping the next ten weeks

1240
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: was a little bit later with these guys because it

1241
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: almost takes it takes the storylines away from the players

1242
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: and the coaches and puts it on the referees making

1243
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 1: or not making calls that everybody in the world can see.

1244
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: Clear's day with let Jones won with a trip on

1245
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 1: the Josh, you know, front and center for me because

1246
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: that was the whole world seeing that man trip Josh

1247
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: Allen and then the referee feet away did not throw

1248
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: the flag. To me, that it ruins moments in football,

1249
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: and it takes away from competition and creates a drama

1250
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 1: almos a w w F effect where the referees not

1251
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,600
Speaker 1: seeing the guy getting hit by a steel chair like

1252
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: the flag. I mean, I think ramble, but great show,

1253
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: take care of Yeah, I think I see what you're saying.

1254
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: And there was a little bit on this. I was

1255
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: listening to Howard and Jeremy this morning. They talked about

1256
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: a little bit too where we thought, and Josh is

1257
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: on pace, but I thought there was gonna be just

1258
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: like eight guys on pace to throw for five thousand

1259
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: yards this year. You know what I mean. I thought

1260
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: it was gonna be just one of the those times,

1261
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: one of those seasons where everybody was just lighting it up. Touchdowns, touchdowns, touchdowns.

1262
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: There's a ton of teams that can't get the ball

1263
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: in the end zone. I'm shocked at now. We had

1264
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of touchdowns scored in the in the league

1265
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks. But man, oh man,

1266
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: you got some guys. There's some teams playing defense, and

1267
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: I really thought and we see it in Buffalo, where

1268
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills are a little different. They're hanging

1269
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: points on people. But around the league, it's you know,

1270
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 1: teams are struggling to score points. The biggest game of

1271
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: the week was the Saints Cardinals game this week, that

1272
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: forty two thirty four Cardinals over the Saints. But every

1273
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: one of these other games, like the Lions scored six points,

1274
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: the Colts scored ten, the Titans win with nineteen sixteen,

1275
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: the Dolph, the Jets won sixteen to nine, the Dolphins

1276
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: won sixteen to ten. I mean, I thought it was

1277
01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: all gonna be like the Cardinals Saints game two thirty four,

1278
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, But there's a lot of teams struggling to

1279
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: get the ball in the end zone. And I'm I'm

1280
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: surprised by that. And I don't know that it's I

1281
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: don't know that it's the the officials, although you know,

1282
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: we've seen it before, like the last year in the

1283
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: overtime game against Tampa Bay where they didn't you know,

1284
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: the guy's got a handful of step Steph Diggs pulling

1285
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: this jersey away, no call. And then this year the

1286
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: tripping with Josh that everybody keeps bringing up. There's still,

1287
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of teams that are struggling to

1288
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 1: play offense even in the midst of that. And I'm

1289
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: not gonna I don't know if I want to go

1290
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 1: down the rat hole of the rabbit hole of the

1291
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 1: officials are doing something. I don't think there's any of that. Yeah,

1292
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: but they're just gonna miss stuff. I hate to say,

1293
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: and I get it too. We thought they're gonna and

1294
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: we talked about this on the show a couple of

1295
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: weeks ago, Steve, we had they had two in real

1296
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: time within the scope of a regular season. Adjust the

1297
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: the calling of roughing the passer and you know, concussions,

1298
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: all of this stuff, and usually get a preseason run

1299
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: up to get adjusted to that. They didn't get there,

1300
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: and they got and we've got the new thing where

1301
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: that's the illegal contact away from where the quarterbacks look in.

1302
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: If it's away from the play and nothing. You know,

1303
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 1: they got one guy out here by himself, they're called.

1304
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: They're calling it this year. So it's a lot of

1305
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 1: that's going on. There's an adjustment period for that. But

1306
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: I'll say this, and we've alluded to it a ton

1307
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 1: on the show during the weeks watching these games, It's

1308
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: never been harder to play corner in the NFL, and

1309
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:34,600
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of guys doing it at a

1310
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: high level. Absolutely, it's really it's never been more difficult

1311
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: to play cornerback in the NFL. I'm talking about outside

1312
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: and on defense, wrapping up these wideouts. It's never been

1313
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: more difficult to do. And you've never had more guys

1314
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 1: being able to do it. It's amazing that's you got

1315
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: some guys out there. And the Bills are Bills are

1316
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: perfect examples of it. I don't know where they find them,

1317
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: because it's you got to do it completely different than

1318
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: you've ever had to do in the NFL and history

1319
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: past and they're doing it at a high level, the

1320
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 1: illegal contact. Yeah, let's go back to the phones. We

1321
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 1: go to Brian and Lockport. Next we got for us. Brian,

1322
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Live. Hi, guys, love the show,

1323
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 1: watch it every day. I believe that we're going to

1324
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: look back on this year and notice that the ascension

1325
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: of the younger quarterbacks, the Allens, the Mahomes, the Herberts,

1326
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 1: the Boroughs are what's gonna be the real thing in

1327
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. Brady and Rogers and what we're talking about

1328
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: before the Titans, dude and Matt Ryan. These guys are

1329
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 1: all on the way out. And I think the league

1330
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:47,719
Speaker 1: has changing, obviously pass wise because of this quarterback play.

1331
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,799
Speaker 1: And I would suggest that, what with the roughing calls

1332
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: and the way Josh plays, we should get him one

1333
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:58,560
Speaker 1: of those Mark Kelso Kazoo helmets. Oh you want to

1334
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: go there? Okay, Well, I think I'll say this and

1335
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 1: this It was thirty years ago Mark Kelso wore that helmet.

1336
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: All the helmets nowadays are better than the ones Mark

1337
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: Kelso had. Yeah, even with the extra shell. So yeah,

1338
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: I get that. You're right. They are very in tune

1339
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: with that, and I'm with you at some point, hopefully not,

1340
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 1: but you can see it on the horizon. Some quarterback

1341
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: in a critical situation is going to go through what

1342
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:27,480
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor went through with the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville

1343
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, the first playoff game in twenty plus years,

1344
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: where at the end of the game, the Bills are

1345
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 1: driving to try and win the game. He gets whacked

1346
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 1: on the helmet, stays down for a split second too long,

1347
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: gets up, he's ready to play, and the official says, no,

1348
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. You usually need to go off the field.

1349
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: So he has to go off the field in a

1350
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: game where you're trying to go down and win. That

1351
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: could happen at any point to any quarterback or any

1352
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,560
Speaker 1: player for that matter, in any game right now. And

1353
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,759
Speaker 1: it's gonna the pendulum is gonna swing that way because

1354
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: of the Tuatonavlo situation and player safety mentality that we

1355
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: all have. And I get it. It's and rightfully so

1356
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,640
Speaker 1: the players are, you know, their life and their livelihood

1357
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: are more important than any one single game. But that's

1358
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: what you're gonna see. And him saying that about Josh

1359
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 1: just brings to light the fact that you know it

1360
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 1: could happen to a guy like Josh Allen. He goes

1361
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: down because when he runs, how many guys on the

1362
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: defense you think want to take a shot at him?

1363
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Sixty you know, I mean every guy on the roster

1364
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: and the practice squad would love to take a shot

1365
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: at him. So it's gonna it's probably gonna happen, and

1366
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 1: you just hope that, you know, he hops up. It

1367
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 1: happened in the Pittsburgh game. He got slammed hard, back

1368
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: of his back, of his head, bang on the ground.

1369
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: Just it was worse than the ta hit, which was

1370
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: a both ta hits, a shove and the swing to

1371
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: the ground. The one Josh took in the Steelers game

1372
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: was worse than both those. He slammed on his shoulder.

1373
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 1: Players he popped up, got up like it was nothing.

1374
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: That's the mystery of those injuries. One guy gets up

1375
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 1: like it was nothing. The other guys out for three weeks. Right,

1376
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,720
Speaker 1: That's it could happen, and it's we're gonna have to

1377
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,759
Speaker 1: live through those moments when you got a quarterback like Josh.

1378
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Break time for us here, you tell us what is

1379
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: the wildest storyline through the first seven weeks of this

1380
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: NFL season and why open line for you at eight

1381
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty one, eight eight five fifty two,

1382
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board. Coming up

1383
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,480
Speaker 1: third hour of the show, though, we also have WROC

1384
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: sports director Thad Brown. He's gonna give us his thoughts

1385
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,640
Speaker 1: on the first seven weeks of the season and some

1386
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: Bills stuff too. Stay tuned. Plenty more coming your way

1387
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live. All right, welcome back to

1388
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: one Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on

1389
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: a Monday, coming off the bye week, and you know

1390
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: we're talking about after watching a whole lot of football

1391
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: that didn't involve the Bills over the weekend, some of

1392
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: the wildest storylines you've observed through the first seven weeks

1393
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: of this NFL season. For me, it's basically that I

1394
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 1: can't make heads or tails of who the Bills really

1395
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: have to be concerned with as far as the AFC

1396
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: Conference goes, aside from Kansas City, you know they're going

1397
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 1: to be there at the end. I think we're pretty

1398
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: confident about that. Everybody else it's a schmozzle right now.

1399
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: Schmul Well, you know, nobody separated themselves and I think

1400
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,440
Speaker 1: we might wait a whole another month before we definitively

1401
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 1: know who maybe the other two or three true conference

1402
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: contenders are. Well, here's the thing, certainly haven't revealed themselves yet,

1403
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: right because you see, you see the Jets and the

1404
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: Giants elevating up to the top. And it's hard to

1405
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: believe because of what we've seen in recent years and

1406
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: the Jets kind of coming out of nowhere. You thought

1407
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: it was going to be a rebuilding year form. But

1408
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, they got a four win a four game

1409
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: winning streak. How these latest injuries are going to affect them,

1410
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. But they're gonna go to New England

1411
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 1: where they got New England at home this week, and

1412
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: then the Bills at home next week. We'll see after

1413
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 1: those two games how the Jets are faring. But right now,

1414
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: they beat Cleveland, the Steelers, the Dolphins, the Packers, and

1415
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 1: the Broncos. They lost to the Bengals and the Ravens,

1416
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: two pretty good teams, probably the two best teams on

1417
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: their schedule they've lost to. Yeah, how that goes, I

1418
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: don't know, but you're right it is. It's hard to

1419
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: get your mind around a league and the standings when

1420
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: the teams were used to seeing at the top of

1421
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: them aren't there, and Earn are nowhere to be found.

1422
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: And you've got teams that have been perennial strugglers, strugglers

1423
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 1: showing up, the Giants and the Jets most notably. Yeah,

1424
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: so the storylines I think for me always kind of

1425
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: sent around. They do sent around teams in the big picture.

1426
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: But when you talk about, you know, guys that are

1427
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: it's those top two guys, Brady and Rogers who have struggled.

1428
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:17,120
Speaker 1: Russ Wilson, those are surprising to him. He doesn't look

1429
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:21,560
Speaker 1: like he doesn't look like the same guy, and I

1430
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 1: don't know. And Pete Carroll in Seattle, you know, we

1431
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 1: don't talk too much about him because they're out of conference,

1432
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: and on the other corner of the country Geno Smith

1433
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 1: is playing for those guys and they're winning games. I

1434
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: think that is as surprising as anything. Pete Pete Carroll

1435
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: for those even if those of it don't know him

1436
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: or don't like him or whatever, the guy really knows

1437
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: what he's doing well. And here's something just to keep

1438
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: an eye on. The Last time the Seahawks and John

1439
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Schneider their GM loaded up on draft choices. They pretty

1440
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 1: much drafted the bulk of the legion of boom Yeah.

1441
01:18:56,040 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: And news flash, he's armed with five have extra draft

1442
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 1: choices from the trade of Russell Wilson, including three ones

1443
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 1: and two twos. So and he had a good draft

1444
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 1: this past year because all those rookies he's got, they're

1445
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: all playing, yeah, and making plays for them, similar to

1446
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:18,759
Speaker 1: you know the way some of the Bills draft choices

1447
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: are this year. So they won three out of their

1448
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 1: last four, and you're right, Brownie, You go back and

1449
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 1: look at the two Super Bowls in a row that

1450
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: they went to. They got and this is you think,

1451
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: that's what the Bills kind of did. You got four

1452
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 1: starters out of those two drafts both years just before that.

1453
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: And I mean Richard Sherman, it's Cam Chancellor, it's um

1454
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 1: kJ Wright and Bobby Wagner, and I mean run down

1455
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 1: the lid. They drafted all of those guys in the

1456
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 1: span of like two or three drafts, and all of

1457
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: a sudden they're winning an NFC titles and going to

1458
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:57,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. They went out and got class Campbell to

1459
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: come in. Um, they were loaded, and it was because

1460
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 1: of those drafts and hitting it out of the park.

1461
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:07,679
Speaker 1: They're Rus Wilson too, and they're in position to draft

1462
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 1: like that again, not only this past year, which was

1463
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:11,799
Speaker 1: a good draft for them at least the early returns

1464
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 1: are saying that, but again this coming year and the

1465
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: year after that, with the extra ones and twos that

1466
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,759
Speaker 1: they'll have at their disposal thanks to the Denver Broncos.

1467
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones though, at eighth three,

1468
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,759
Speaker 1: five fifty one, eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty

1469
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: we go to George in Wheatfield next, and let me

1470
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: pull them up here. George, what do you got for us? Year?

1471
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: All one Bills live? Well? I watched all those games, justtry,

1472
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, the San Francisco of Pittsburgh and Cleveland games,

1473
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:41,640
Speaker 1: and I was rooting for three teams, and everyone on

1474
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 1: the last year I got killed. I've never seen so

1475
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: much incompetence in my life. I've been rooting Bills this

1476
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two, and out of those one of the

1477
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: sixty years, they've had maybe forty five lousy teams, you know,

1478
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 1: and those three games history, man, those teams are terrible.

1479
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean Pittsburgh must have dropped. I'm intercepted four. Yeah,

1480
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe it, you know, I mean Buffalo should

1481
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 1: have urb of course the Super Bowl. I mean I

1482
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: don't think my Aunties didn't go anywhere because you know, yeah,

1483
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: well they struggled to beat the Steelers yesterday, there's no

1484
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: question about it. But Georgia, you kind of tickled me

1485
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: there when you said the worst discipline. They have some

1486
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: competence that you've seen in the NFL in sixty years.

1487
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a wide swath you're cutting through

1488
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 1: there to definitively say this past Sunday, I don't know what, Lovely,

1489
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: I know what. I don't know what kind of what

1490
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 1: games were shown here in Buffalo locally? Do you do

1491
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 1: You wasn't here. I wasn't I was out of town,

1492
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: so I don't know either. But um, I'm at yeah,

1493
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: there's some bad football being played, no question. But you know, incompetence,

1494
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: they got a lot of there's a lot of football

1495
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 1: left to be played. And some of these teams are

1496
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: not the same team. They're gonna be in a month

1497
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,560
Speaker 1: or some of them will catch for two months. And

1498
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a team like Cincinnati come from nowhere

1499
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: this year probably and get it in the playoffs and

1500
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: make a run. Um, but that it looks as though

1501
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 1: now and you know, after seven weeks the road goes

1502
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: through Buffalo in Kansas City in the AFCUM, in the NFC,

1503
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's is it Philly, I don't

1504
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 1: know that it's yeah Philly, Okay, Minnesota, I'm not buying that. Yeah,

1505
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm holding on Minnesota right now. I am not buying.

1506
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: And it could go, and it could go the Giants,

1507
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants are buying on the Giants. I'm

1508
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: not buying on the Jets yet either. I need I

1509
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: need a little more evidence. You think about it. The

1510
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 1: teams that looked like they've got a shot at the

1511
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 1: one seed is Seattle, Minnesota, Philly and the New York

1512
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 1: Football Giants and or the or the Cowboys. Man Cowboys

1513
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: are five and two. Yeah, but I don't know. I'm

1514
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: not sold on any of those teams. And the Cowboys

1515
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:06,599
Speaker 1: got Dak Scott back, you know, yesterday. But I told

1516
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: you it's a schmozzle. Let's go to the tweet sheet,

1517
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1518
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,440
Speaker 1: moving company the Buffalo Bills. What is the wildest storyline

1519
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: through the first seven weeks of this NFL season for you.

1520
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 1: JT says, Rogers has fallen on his face. He looks

1521
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 1: really aged along with Tom Tuna tongue Violoa. Doesn't scare me.

1522
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: They only put up sixteen on the Steelers. Glad he's

1523
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 1: okay though, Also the stinking Jets may have lost Hall

1524
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 1: for the year that they have. That's been confirmed. Breece

1525
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: hallsuffered to torn acl hope to see treyback on Sunday

1526
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: Night football. Go Bills. Jeremy says, it's got to be

1527
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:49,839
Speaker 1: Geno Smith and the Seahawks playing really good football. Rogers

1528
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: got paid a ton of money and doesn't seem to

1529
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: care anymore, and hopefully Brady retires by week ten. But

1530
01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 1: in my opinion, like I said, it's the Seahawks. Steven,

1531
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. We hear all the time

1532
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:08,440
Speaker 1: about the dangers involved when you pay a big defensive

1533
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,759
Speaker 1: lineman book who bucks. We saw it here with Marcel Darius.

1534
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: As soon as they paid him a giant contract, he

1535
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 1: took his foot off the gas and he was out

1536
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: of the league in three years. Um, Can that happen

1537
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:24,799
Speaker 1: with a veteran quarterback making fifty per the next two seasons.

1538
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 1: Um it could. I don't know that it's ever happened

1539
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 1: where the guy stopped in the in the middle of

1540
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: the season. Um, remember the Vante Davis thing here in

1541
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:37,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo where it was and a half of the game. Yeah,

1542
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 1: it was a little bit. It was embarrassing for the

1543
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: organization and I and UM it was insulting. Um, I

1544
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: don't I don't see that happening with one of these guys.

1545
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: I when when they signed up. I know what I'll

1546
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 1: say this though, it's hard for an older player when

1547
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 1: you've been so good for so long, when you're sitting

1548
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: in the locker room after a game where you got

1549
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: beat by a team who in your prime you would

1550
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 1: have lumped up by yourself. Yeah, and you can't get

1551
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:11,560
Speaker 1: it done. It's pretty hard to sit there and and

1552
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:13,560
Speaker 1: get ready and think, Okay, we got to do this

1553
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: again next week against a team that's really good play

1554
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: and we saw heartbreaking. The video was out there for

1555
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 1: everyone to see from this past weekend. Aaron Rodgers was

1556
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 1: facing a camera, a sideline camera, and he was looking

1557
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 1: at a couple of his teammates and he said, you

1558
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 1: could read his lips perfectly what are we doing? And

1559
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: he was mad at a couple of the receivers who

1560
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: probably undoubtedly had a miscommunication with him in terms of

1561
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,560
Speaker 1: that maybe it was a sight of just maybe it

1562
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: was an option route that they ran something completely different

1563
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: than what he saw, and he's frustrated by it. But yeah,

1564
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: it's they're in. They're in a deep, dark place. Maybe

1565
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: not as deep and dark as the Bucks from this

1566
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: past week, but it ain't good. But I don't know

1567
01:25:58,320 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: that you're going to see any of the Aaron Rodger,

1568
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and that's who you're specifically asking about just

1569
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,599
Speaker 1: calling it quits midway through the season. I don't think

1570
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: that'll happen. But I will agree that when you get

1571
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 1: to a point in your career where these guys know

1572
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,600
Speaker 1: what's coming down the road and there's no way to

1573
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: get out of the way, it ain't hit. Ain't pretty. Yeah,

1574
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing worse. We take a break here. When we

1575
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: come back, good news for Jerry and Lavonia and the

1576
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: other is interested in this. We did find the Fox

1577
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: Sports pregame clip of two pseudo New York Jets and

1578
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 1: Giants fans with a Bills fans stepping onto the set

1579
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 1: of whatever fictitious podcasts they were running. We'll play it

1580
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: for you. It's pretty good. When we return here on

1581
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo

1582
01:26:45,439 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bills Live.

1583
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. We got a call

1584
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: from Jerry and Lavonia earlier in the show said he

1585
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: saw a funny spoof on the New York football teams,

1586
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 1: and now the Jets and the Giants continue to try

1587
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 1: to or some of the networks try to exclude the

1588
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills as a quote unquote New York team. So

1589
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,640
Speaker 1: Fox Sports, who's been guilty of it themselves, decided to

1590
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: kind of poke fun at themselves. They ran this before

1591
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:35,680
Speaker 1: the one o'clock games on Sunday. And welcome back to

1592
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: the New York Sports Zoo, your favorite show for all

1593
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: New York for it? Oh yeah, and how about them Giants?

1594
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 1: Am I right? New York? How about them Jets? Am

1595
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 1: I right? New York? Oh? How about those Bills? Am

1596
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 1: I right? New York? Who let you in here? Yeah?

1597
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 1: This is a show for New York teams. Buffalo is

1598
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: a New York team, barely Yeah, you guys are basically

1599
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: Canada anyway. I gotta tell you, sal, I can't help

1600
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: but feel like the Jets are going to disappoint me.

1601
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: Tell me about it. The Giants are good, but their

1602
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: offense is it if only Daniel Jones could throw through

1603
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 1: his receivers like Andy Dalton throws to the Cardinals. I

1604
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about the Bills. We've got a great

1605
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: offense and a great defense, and we just beat the Chiefs. Okay,

1606
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 1: no one is talking to you. Yeah, go with some

1607
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,560
Speaker 1: pootine or something like I was saying. Okay, laugh. I

1608
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 1: didn't know was tough being a New York football fan.

1609
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: But we got some nice young starts to build around.

1610
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. The first time I heard the name

1611
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, I thought it was a guy who put

1612
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Marnera on his Bagonias. The first time I heard the

1613
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 1: name Josh Allen, I thought it was an investment firm.

1614
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 1: Shut up, I'm sorry. I just wanted to be included.

1615
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: Whenever people talk about New York sports, they always think

1616
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: about teams in New York City, but they never think

1617
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 1: about us. We're more than Wigs, Buffalonians or New Yorkers too.

1618
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: He's right. Yeah, we're sorry. You shouldn't be sorry. Your

1619
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: records are inflated, you play in New Jersey and both

1620
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: your teams are trash. Well, do you excuse me? I

1621
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:24,599
Speaker 1: have a phoning table to jump through. Okay, I like him. Yeah,

1622
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 1: maybe he's a New York raftool. It was pretty good.

1623
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 1: They did a pretty good job with that. I'll give

1624
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 1: it to him. And Buffalo came out looking good at

1625
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:36,760
Speaker 1: the end. So there you go. So that was all good.

1626
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, thanks for thanks to Jerry and Lavonia for

1627
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: pointing that out. I did miss that. I didn't see

1628
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 1: that when Fox aired it right before They're one o'clock games,

1629
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 1: So glad we were able to track that down and

1630
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:50,599
Speaker 1: we got a little help on social media from some people.

1631
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:55,599
Speaker 1: They will forever be debated because yeah, yeah, thank your

1632
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:58,120
Speaker 1: teams are called New York and technically they're in New

1633
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 1: Jersey and we take advantage of that little the state line.

1634
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 1: Indeed we do, and why shouldn't we. And thanks to

1635
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:06,599
Speaker 1: Amy for sending the link over because I probably wouldn't

1636
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 1: have found it on my own, So much appreciated to

1637
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: Amy who sent it to me on social media, Thank

1638
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 1: you very much, and hope you enjoyed it. That was

1639
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 1: pretty cool. A couple more thoughts here on the tweet

1640
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: cheat Steve. As far as the wildest storyline through the

1641
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 1: first seven weeks of this NFL season, HERB says Aaron

1642
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:28,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers saying the Packers are going to come into Buffalo

1643
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,519
Speaker 1: on Sunday night and take care of business. Sorry, but

1644
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't see this happening. I don't think he didn't

1645
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 1: say that specifically. Somebody asked him after their last game

1646
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday, which was their third loss in a row,

1647
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: what is going to turn this thing around? And he said, well,

1648
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:48,839
Speaker 1: we don't really have time to feel sorry for ourselves.

1649
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: We've got a very difficult game coming up this week

1650
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. But maybe that's just what we need. So

1651
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 1: maybe that could be misinterpreted some way. I don't think

1652
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 1: he was saying we got to go in there and

1653
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 1: beat them. I respectfully disagree with Aaron Rodgers that the

1654
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Bills are just what the Packers need to get right,

1655
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: because I don't see that happening either. He said, even

1656
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Vegas agrees they're ten and a half point underdogs. Yeah,

1657
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 1: he said that. It was he said some stuff in

1658
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: there that it was not inflammatory towards the Buffalo Bills.

1659
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 1: It was more convicting of his own team. So it

1660
01:31:25,479 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 1: was he knows what they're they know what they're up

1661
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:31,680
Speaker 1: against here in Buffalo. But he also said it was

1662
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 1: more of a we welcome the challenge because they're really

1663
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 1: good team kind of kind of rhetoric coming out of

1664
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 1: his mouth. And there is breaking news coming out of

1665
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: the NFL Top Top daw talked earlier about how there

1666
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 1: were rumblings that Matt Ryan's arm strength is shot, and

1667
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 1: apparently Frank Reich agrees. Matt Ryan, Oh, he's injured also,

1668
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 1: all right, so that's fair. Maybe that's why his arm

1669
01:31:56,760 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 1: doesn't look as good. Suffered a second agree two shoulder separation,

1670
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: will not practice or plague against Washington this coming week.

1671
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,759
Speaker 1: So they're turning to Sam Ellinger, who is their backup

1672
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:12,600
Speaker 1: and he will make his first career start Sunday. Is

1673
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 1: the number two? Are we saying sam Ellinger right though?

1674
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 1: Because in the preseason we had we had him and

1675
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 1: I said it wrong for like, I could be minutes

1676
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: I want to say it's maybe it's Ellinger. We'll look

1677
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 1: it up. Um. Anyway, best of luck, he's coming back

1678
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play for Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan shoulder

1679
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 1: separate or shoulder spraying. They called it second separation, second

1680
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 1: two shoulder separation, which is not a fun injury. Yeah,

1681
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:44,839
Speaker 1: that's right. I don't know that the Colts are struggling.

1682
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:47,639
Speaker 1: They've had a different starting quarterback to begin the season

1683
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:49,760
Speaker 1: for five straight years, going all the way back to

1684
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. All the way back to Andrew Luck, it's

1685
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: before he pulled the ripcord the next year and they

1686
01:32:55,360 --> 01:33:01,760
Speaker 1: had to start Kobe Brissette, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz and

1687
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:05,720
Speaker 1: now Matt Ryan. Who's it gonna be next year? Well,

1688
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger next week, Russ Wilson, who's it gonna be?

1689
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: Well Sam Ellinger for this week? But pick A thirty eight?

1690
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 1: But not gonna have Matt Ryan back next year? No,

1691
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 1: I probably not. Probably not. He was a stopcap because

1692
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, they were trying to find it was clear

1693
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,640
Speaker 1: that Ursay wanted to throw Carson Wentz overboard after they

1694
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:32,720
Speaker 1: moved heaven and Earth to get him and ate a

1695
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,720
Speaker 1: giant cap figure to do it. And then he's just like, yeah,

1696
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 1: not the guy, get him out of here. Yeah, And

1697
01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:40,160
Speaker 1: then they had to jump through hoops to do that,

1698
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 1: eat more dead cap and then find another one on

1699
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:46,680
Speaker 1: short notice. Matt Ryan. I mean, you could do a

1700
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: lot worse than that. But Matt Ryan isn't the twenty

1701
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 1: sixteen MVP Matt Ryan that he once was. I think

1702
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 1: that's safe to say. And they're struggling because of it.

1703
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,600
Speaker 1: And the Jonathan Taylor injury didn't help either when he

1704
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:01,800
Speaker 1: missed game or two, there wasn't right with the toe.

1705
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:04,880
Speaker 1: So that's where you're at. We have to take a

1706
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: break here. Third hour of the show will be kicked

1707
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: off with w r OC sports director Thad Brown. We're

1708
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:13,760
Speaker 1: gonna get his thoughts on the first seven weeks of

1709
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: this NFL season, and we'll talk a little bills as well,

1710
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:18,639
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on what some of the coordinators said

1711
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 1: this morning between Ken Dorsey and Leslie Frasier. Next here

1712

Speaker 1: the bye our number three, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

1716

1718
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:28,680
Speaker 1: the sports director from JARROCTV and Rochester. It is one

1719
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 1: Thad Brown joining us. Thad, did you kick your heels

1720
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:34,360
Speaker 1: up and watch a ridiculous amount of football with no

1721
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 1: work responsibilities over the weekend. I wouldn't say ridiculous. I

1722
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 1: watched a ridiculous amount of that Sunday at night game

1723
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 1: last night, but other than that, I kind of pulled

1724
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:45,600
Speaker 1: away a little bit, followed it on the phone, you know.

1725
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:47,600
Speaker 1: When I got I had a nice walk with the

1726
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 1: wife yesterday. There's an area here in Rochester Sonica Park

1727
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,519
Speaker 1: with a gorge going over Genesee River where it's just

1728
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: multi color of leaves as far as the I can see, Yeah,

1729
01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:58,680
Speaker 1: both sides of the river. It's awesome. So we did

1730
01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 1: that for a couple hours yesterday and just tried to

1731
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:04,559
Speaker 1: unplug as best as possible. Yeah, well, after you unplugged

1732
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:07,640
Speaker 1: and he kind of took we're taking stock of the

1733
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:10,360
Speaker 1: first seven weeks the NFL season, and we put it

1734
01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:12,560
Speaker 1: to our listeners and I guess we'll put it to you.

1735
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: What is your the most surprising storyline for you over

1736
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:17,720
Speaker 1: the first seven weeks of the season coming out of

1737
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:20,760
Speaker 1: the bills by For me, it's it's the number of

1738
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 1: teams we thought that were good that are very much

1739
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 1: not good. I mean, there's just there's no good teams

1740
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 1: in this league. There's Buffalo, there's the Chiefs, there's the Eagles,

1741
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:32,479
Speaker 1: and then there's question marks. I mean Tampa Bay, Green Bay,

1742
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 1: the Rams, Chargers, Broncos, Ravens, even the Bengals. I know

1743
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 1: they've kind of righted the ship a little bit last

1744
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Colts, these were all did he freeze

1745
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: on us? Petitive? You know, and and you know, for

1746
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:49,280
Speaker 1: the most part they haven't been inwhere close to that,

1747
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, So it's it makes for an interesting part

1748
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 1: of the season because now you know, you've got a

1749
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:56,599
Speaker 1: lot of different teams. Obviously, the Jets and Giants are surprising.

1750
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:58,920
Speaker 1: In the other direction, I think Dallas is probably one

1751
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:00,839
Speaker 1: of those teams that maybe a little better than expected.

1752
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:02,840
Speaker 1: But you know, for the most part, I think, you know,

1753
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:07,160
Speaker 1: one seeing the final decline of a quarterback like Aaron

1754
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:09,720
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Tom Brady, so those two teams are not

1755
01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,559
Speaker 1: quite the same. But overall, it's just spend the number

1756
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:14,000
Speaker 1: of teams that we thought that were good that are

1757
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 1: not I'm I'm just amazed that it is the schmozzle

1758
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 1: that it is. But then I try to remind myself.

1759
01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:24,759
Speaker 1: You know, some teams take until mid November to separate.

1760
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:28,519
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have that. I'm just I really,

1761
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:30,760
Speaker 1: I was talking to Steve about this. I was saying,

1762
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 1: maybe it's because we're pretty confident that the Bills and

1763
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:35,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to be there at the end

1764
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 1: of this thing regular season. I'm talking, and it's hard

1765
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:44,679
Speaker 1: to identify who else after that. I mean, you could

1766
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 1: make educated guesses, but they are big time guesses right now.

1767
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, any anybody that's four and three, three and

1768
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 1: four is in the conversation, and there's about eight of

1769
01:37:56,560 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 1: those teams. Yeah, you're right. And so by the way,

1770
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:01,840
Speaker 1: it's a great work. Can I steal that? Is that

1771
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 1: a patent? It is not patented, But I do like

1772
01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:08,240
Speaker 1: to use Okay, I'll credit you every time I use

1773
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:12,120
Speaker 1: That's okay, it's everybody's word. I think the other thing.

1774
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:14,519
Speaker 1: I think the other thing too. First of all, I've

1775
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 1: always been under the general opinion that you don't know

1776
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 1: anything anything about the NFL too Halloween. So we're not

1777
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 1: there yet. You know, there's there's still a lot more

1778
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 1: to learn. But I think the other thing that's happening

1779
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 1: is that there's more teams that are not playing regular

1780
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 1: players in the preseason and are using the early part

1781
01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 1: of the regular season as the preseason. And as we

1782
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 1: add more games, you know, mathematically, there's more margin for

1783
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 1: error to allow you to do that. You know, you

1784
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:40,280
Speaker 1: don't have to necessarily, you know, go one and two

1785
01:38:40,320 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 1: and two or three and one early in the year

1786
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 1: games after to try and make a playoff run. So

1787
01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a part of what's going on, um,

1788
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, But I think also too, this has just

1789
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: been a year where defenses have been a little more

1790
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 1: prepared to deal with what offense has beenditioned out. And

1791
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 1: one of the things we said coming into the season

1792
01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:59,600
Speaker 1: was how hard it looked to play defense in the

1793
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:02,880
Speaker 1: NFL fell And yet there's a ton of games this

1794
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:06,519
Speaker 1: last weekend and throughout the year that have been low scoring.

1795
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 1: Even the Chiefs Bills game we all thought was going

1796
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 1: to be kind of this shootout affair. Really, you know, team,

1797
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:16,559
Speaker 1: you know, it was twenty four twenty. What's your thought,

1798
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about how the game's being officiated,

1799
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 1: where the rules are, how it's evolved. We thought there

1800
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 1: was gonna be like eight guys throwing for five thousand yards.

1801
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:26,200
Speaker 1: Probably not so much now this year. What are your

1802
01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:29,640
Speaker 1: thoughts on that? A little of it might be just

1803
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:31,560
Speaker 1: the fact we have full crowds back in. I know

1804
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 1: that the COVID experience is probably two years behind, but

1805
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 1: I think that season, being able to audible and make

1806
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 1: checks and do everything you wanted to do would virtually

1807
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 1: know nothing in the way. I think, you know, was

1808
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 1: an adjustment to come back to it again. You know,

1809
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 1: we're two seasons past that. I really think, especially when

1810
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 1: it comes to teams like maybe the Bills and the

1811
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs defenses that are dropping these you know, behind zone

1812
01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 1: defenses are really forcing teams to take the short stuff

1813
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 1: drive the length of the field. Not only is it

1814
01:39:57,400 --> 01:40:00,519
Speaker 1: harder to do that because you have to execute fourteen

1815
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:03,599
Speaker 1: fifteen seventeen places whore a touchdown, but it also makes

1816
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,200
Speaker 1: the games last longer. You know, there's I haven't done

1817
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 1: the math, but just anecdotally, it feels like there are

1818
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:12,960
Speaker 1: just less possessions in many of these games. So also

1819
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:15,679
Speaker 1: add to less points and you know, less big numbers

1820
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,960
Speaker 1: for everybody offensively, this league is always lead offensive. You know,

1821
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,000
Speaker 1: if there's a way that a rule can be changed

1822
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: to allow you know, more offense, it'll happen. It just

1823
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:25,519
Speaker 1: feels like a cycle that we're going through, and it

1824
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 1: might just be a you know, a six to eight

1825
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 1: week cycle, not something that will lasts a long time.

1826
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 1: And you know, I think there's also a little bit

1827
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: of a transition when it comes to the quarterbacks themselves.

1828
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 1: You know, Josh Allen and Mahomes and Joe Burrow maybe

1829
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 1: to a lesser extent, are very comfortable owers. But justin

1830
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:42,720
Speaker 1: Herbert's in year three, you know, Lamar Jackson as a

1831
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:45,800
Speaker 1: thrower is still a guy who's maturing. So I don't

1832
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:49,760
Speaker 1: know if we have that great quadre of super elite level,

1833
01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 1: you know quarterbacks, especially when you have, you know, guys

1834
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:55,000
Speaker 1: like Rogers and Mahomes who lost their number one weapon,

1835
01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, So even if the guys who come in

1836
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 1: will eventually be adequate enough to replace them, they're probably

1837
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be that good six or seven weeks into

1838
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:05,120
Speaker 1: a season. So I think it's just a unique year

1839
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the offensive part of it. Yeah, and

1840
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 1: to your point, with the quarterbacks, they've I think they've

1841
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 1: defied logic. You know, Brady and Rogers are unable to

1842
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:21,640
Speaker 1: raise the level of their respective offenses, either due to

1843
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 1: significant losses as Rogers has experienced in his receiving corps,

1844
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 1: or for some other reason. Brady, Yeah, they were all

1845
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 1: injured at the beginning of the year. They've they've been

1846
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:33,519
Speaker 1: relatively healthy the last few weeks in Tampa. And then

1847
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 1: you have other situations, the latest being Matt Ryan, who

1848
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 1: yes he has a shoulder separation, but we're only learning now.

1849
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,679
Speaker 1: Head coach Frank Reich said the move is to Sam

1850
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 1: to be the starter for the rest of the season.

1851
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:50,600
Speaker 1: This was a decision made not because of injury, but

1852
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 1: because of performance level. And they're going he's calling it

1853
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 1: in week seven, Ellen Ger the rest of the way.

1854
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 1: They're in multiple developments like that. At the quarterback position, Yeah,

1855
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 1: Garoppolo because of the Trey Lance injury and he's still

1856
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:10,800
Speaker 1: horribly average. And then you know Russell Wilson. I don't

1857
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 1: he turned into a pumpkin when he put an orange

1858
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: jersey on. I don't know what the heck happened. There

1859
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,759
Speaker 1: a lot of this topsy turvy stuff at the quarterback position.

1860
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 1: I think is a reason for this too. Yeah, I

1861
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 1: think you talked about, you know, kind of the outlier

1862
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 1: a quality of quarterback play. You look at what Tom

1863
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 1: Brady and Aaron Rodgers have done deep into the thirties,

1864
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 1: into their forties. In Brady's case, that was never something

1865
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: that was a norm, you know, prior to that. You

1866
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 1: gotta go back to like George Blanda to where that

1867
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,200
Speaker 1: was a regular thing. Maybe rich Gannon here there beneath

1868
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 1: sta Verdi occasionally he was a guy who's effective that late.

1869
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 1: And then on the flip side, you have you know,

1870
01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:50,639
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes who's immediately a star. You know Josh Allen,

1871
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:52,080
Speaker 1: who you know, a guy who was looked at a

1872
01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: long term project, was pretty darn good in second third year.

1873
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 1: I think the expectations for quarterbacks have become unreasonable at

1874
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 1: both ends of the aging spectrum, to where sure, Matt

1875
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Indianapolis, why wouldn't that work? Well, maybe because he

1876
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have it anymore, or you know Mac Jones two,

1877
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:10,439
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson one of those guys that got a pop

1878
01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: because young rookie quarterbacks do young quarterbacks do and that

1879
01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 1: really hasn't happened yet, so there will be as you

1880
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,080
Speaker 1: going back to what you talked about when I said

1881
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 1: that there's no good teams. Teams will develop. I think

1882
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 1: quarterbacks will develop too. You're seeing a little bit maybe

1883
01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:24,560
Speaker 1: Burrow the last couple of weeks. You know, again, I

1884
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:27,240
Speaker 1: think there's hope for Lamar Jackson. He teams from my

1885
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 1: point of view, to be progressing as a thrower. I

1886
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 1: still love Justin Herbert. The Chargers are one of those

1887
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,080
Speaker 1: teams that can't keep five guys healthy from or oh,

1888
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: if that ever happened. I think we see Herbert elevate

1889
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:39,640
Speaker 1: to you know, one of those Tuoper League quarterbacks. And

1890
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,240
Speaker 1: maybe you know, no one really takes Jalen Hurt seriously,

1891
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 1: but there's a guy that they have in Philadelphia, groomed

1892
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:47,920
Speaker 1: very nicely, crafted an offense around him, and he's been

1893
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:50,160
Speaker 1: a part of their six and oh starts. So there

1894
01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 1: will be guys that emerge. It just you know, for

1895
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 1: the moment hasn't happened just yet, and there's a lot

1896
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 1: that goes into it. It's not just the guys that

1897
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:59,040
Speaker 1: they draft, it's also the organization around the Josh Allen

1898
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:01,720
Speaker 1: comes in and two two years really and then the

1899
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:03,840
Speaker 1: third year obviously when he when he spread his Wings

1900
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 1: and they got good Hurts as another one in Philadelphia

1901
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:11,240
Speaker 1: their team, and even Dallas with Dak Prescott who came

1902
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 1: in and all of a sudden, you know, they just

1903
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:15,360
Speaker 1: brought him along built around him. But then there's also

1904
01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:19,799
Speaker 1: teams like like Indianapolis, some of these quarters. It's easier

1905
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:22,960
Speaker 1: for a team to get a retread of a guy

1906
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:25,719
Speaker 1: who maybe sim team thing is just tired of looking

1907
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: at than to go out and draft a young player

1908
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:33,720
Speaker 1: hoping that he's good. It's some teams seem relegated, I

1909
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:35,640
Speaker 1: guess to the fact that they hope a guy's got

1910
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: another good year left in him, rather than hoping a

1911
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,240
Speaker 1: guy is actually any good at all to begin with.

1912
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 1: So it's both ends of that spectrum, correct, Yeah, I think.

1913
01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:46,520
Speaker 1: So you have to be in a pretty unique circumstance

1914
01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 1: to have the you know, multiple year window to develop

1915
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:52,639
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. You know, a coach that's had three

1916
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 1: straight six and eleven seasons or whatever, they're not going

1917
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:57,120
Speaker 1: to get that three year window to draft the guy

1918
01:44:57,240 --> 01:44:59,800
Speaker 1: third or fourth or seventh or you know, Mac Jones

1919
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 1: teenth overall and hope he develops. So those guys are

1920
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 1: stuck with You got to take Wentz or Matt Ryan

1921
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:08,400
Speaker 1: or Marcus Mariota or someone of that ilk, you know.

1922
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 1: And then the teams that do have that window, they

1923
01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:13,160
Speaker 1: have that window because they're probably a pretty terrible team.

1924
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 1: So it's gonna take a while before the quarterback and

1925
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:17,920
Speaker 1: or the team, you know, can develop, and you still

1926
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:19,519
Speaker 1: need things to go. You're right along the way. So

1927
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 1: it is, it's always, it's always always in the NFL

1928
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:26,439
Speaker 1: a multifascioned thing with developing quarterbacks. You know, Josh Allen

1929
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:29,679
Speaker 1: in twenty different organizations is not anywhere near the quarterback

1930
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 1: he probably is now. Same thing for Pat Mahomes. You've

1931
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:34,680
Speaker 1: got to have the things working around you to be

1932
01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:37,640
Speaker 1: able to develop into you know, a great quarterback and

1933
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:40,439
Speaker 1: your great team. We always say quarterbacks get the majority

1934
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 1: of the blame and the credit, you know, Well, this

1935
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 1: is how it works. It's because the other ten guys

1936
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 1: around you, the other fifty two guys around you, you know,

1937
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 1: get a lot more or require a lot more of

1938
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 1: the effort and the ability and the talent to make

1939
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: that quarterback good than what most people expect or certainly

1940
01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:59,840
Speaker 1: give that quarterback credit for. Let's just talk a little

1941
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,600
Speaker 1: Bills packers here as we get ready for Sunday or

1942
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 1: begin our preparations for Sunday. We already touched on the

1943
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:10,560
Speaker 1: Rogers thing. The defense is just as puzzling for me.

1944
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:14,200
Speaker 1: I know that you know, they're number one against the pass,

1945
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 1: and we think a lot of their secondary and who

1946
01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 1: they have back there, multiple first round draft choices, but

1947
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:22,920
Speaker 1: teams are running rough shot over these guys. Twenty seventh

1948
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: against the run. That is a shocking ranking for me

1949
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,479
Speaker 1: for a defense that I thought was going to keep

1950
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 1: them in games until their offense figured it out with

1951
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:33,639
Speaker 1: all the young talent they were putting on the field

1952
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. But it hasn't happened now,

1953
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: and maybe it's just a little product of who they've

1954
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:40,800
Speaker 1: played lately. I mean, they got a full dose of

1955
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 1: Brief Holl and sa Quon Barkley, who you know, before

1956
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:44,599
Speaker 1: Hall was out for the season with an injury, where

1957
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 1: two of the you know, four or five or seven

1958
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:49,240
Speaker 1: best running backs in the league. But they made Antonio

1959
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:52,000
Speaker 1: Gibson look, you know, pretty darn good for a guy

1960
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: that his own team has been trying to push out

1961
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:55,800
Speaker 1: of the way for two or three years now. So

1962
01:46:56,240 --> 01:46:58,519
Speaker 1: there are multiple problems with Green Bay. And you know,

1963
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 1: when I look at this from the Bills in a

1964
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:02,479
Speaker 1: view you talk about, you know, on Buffalo Kickoff Live,

1965
01:47:02,520 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 1: we're always you know, what's our key to the game.

1966
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 1: My key to the game for the Bills is just

1967
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 1: stay out of the Packers way, let themselves destruct. They're

1968
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:10,639
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to do it. That's what they've

1969
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:12,000
Speaker 1: been doing the last three or four weeks. I mean,

1970
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,479
Speaker 1: they've been coming from ahead to you know, steal defeat

1971
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:16,479
Speaker 1: from the jaws of victory the last three four weeks

1972
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 1: by figuring out stupid things to do latent games. To me,

1973
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 1: it's more of the offense. You know, when I look

1974
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:23,600
Speaker 1: on you know, you talk about not being able to

1975
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,640
Speaker 1: stop the run, that's mostly a d line thing. I

1976
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 1: look at their offensive line, What the heck happened two

1977
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,640
Speaker 1: years ago? This is the best unit in football and

1978
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:33,000
Speaker 1: they've been getting run over the last couple of weeks

1979
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 1: by you know, decent defensive lines, maybe good ones in

1980
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 1: a couple of cases. But when when you know Aaron

1981
01:47:38,560 --> 01:47:40,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers is trying to figure things out with young quarterbacks

1982
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:43,599
Speaker 1: and also having to run around every other snap because

1983
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:45,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't have time to you know, figure that out.

1984
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna make the offense an issue. And you know,

1985
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 1: after the scripted portion of games, when you know Greenbay

1986
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 1: has been good early offensively, they've been terrible middle of

1987
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 1: the second quarter, deep into the third and fourth quarters.

1988
01:47:57,040 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: So you know the offensive line is a problem. They

1989
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:02,080
Speaker 1: can't stop the run. I wonder about the coaching because

1990
01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 1: the second halfs have been awful. They find dumb ways

1991
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:06,799
Speaker 1: to lose. This is how you end up with Aaron Rodgers,

1992
01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, in front of a podium saying something that

1993
01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:11,880
Speaker 1: makes you to scratch your head. Every other week. Well,

1994
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example of what I think, and

1995
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:16,559
Speaker 1: I agree with you. You look at their last eight

1996
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:19,720
Speaker 1: games last year from week eleven on. There's a BUYE

1997
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 1: weekend there, so it's one, two, three, four or five

1998
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 1: six seven games. Six of those seven games they scored

1999
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 1: thirty or more points and they went you know, they

2000
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 1: went five and two in those games. They're scoring thirty

2001
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:36,680
Speaker 1: points almost every week last year. This year, they have

2002
01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:40,640
Speaker 1: yet to score thirty points in a game. If you

2003
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,000
Speaker 1: want to know why they're they're struggling, and their defenses

2004
01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 1: looks different and it all looks it's their inability to

2005
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:49,200
Speaker 1: score points. They were hanging thirty every week on every

2006
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:51,760
Speaker 1: team a year ago. Now they can't get there and

2007
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 1: it's costing them games. So I to me, I think

2008
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:56,599
Speaker 1: that's as much of it. And you talk about Davante

2009
01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: Adams if you want, and the guy would make a difference.

2010
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:02,240
Speaker 1: But you've got to find a way to get on

2011
01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:04,160
Speaker 1: the scoreboard more often than they're able to do. And

2012
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:07,080
Speaker 1: you can say what you want about their defense. Their

2013
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:10,439
Speaker 1: defense hasn't allowed thirty points, but the team's you know,

2014
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: three and four. They're just not getting any help on

2015
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:16,560
Speaker 1: that side of the football, you know, and they're not

2016
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:18,719
Speaker 1: running the ball either. I mean, you know, Aj Dillon

2017
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 1: was a promising star in this league before the year started.

2018
01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 1: He's been barely an afterthought. Aaron Jones can't get going,

2019
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: you know. Again, I go back to me. It starts

2020
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 1: up front and you're right on the defensive side with

2021
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: the run stopping, but their offensive line is not right.

2022
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and explain why. You know, for

2023
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:36,120
Speaker 1: the most parts have been the same pieces. Now they

2024
01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:37,559
Speaker 1: were down a couple of guys, I think this past

2025
01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:41,360
Speaker 1: week against Washington. But when you don't have that base

2026
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:43,880
Speaker 1: that Green Bay has had with that offense for the

2027
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 1: last few years. It's gonna make a difference. Then when

2028
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:48,800
Speaker 1: you you know, take away a Davanta Adams on top

2029
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 1: of it, replace him with mostly kids, it's gonna be

2030
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,200
Speaker 1: something that you can't you know. We talked about teams

2031
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:56,559
Speaker 1: developing later in the year. You know, I thought if

2032
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 1: green Bay, if green Bay had snuck out a couple

2033
01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:00,360
Speaker 1: of these games and they're you know, four and five

2034
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 1: and two not looking great, but still functional, I think

2035
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:04,960
Speaker 1: this would be a team that would develop through the

2036
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 1: year and be better November December. But now, you know

2037
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:09,840
Speaker 1: where it seems like they're on the brink of, you know,

2038
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:12,280
Speaker 1: having their season totally flushed. I'm not sure they ever

2039
01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 1: get that window. We heard from Leslie Fraser earlier today

2040
01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 1: dress the media. He was asked about Tradevious White. He said,

2041
01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:25,320
Speaker 1: he's getting close. We obviously don't have any concrete medical

2042
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:27,680
Speaker 1: information as to when he's going to be given the

2043
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 1: green light, so we were handicapping it earlier. We'll ask

2044
01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:34,440
Speaker 1: you to do the same, sad handicap this, does Tradevious

2045
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: White get on the active roster and play this week?

2046
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:41,080
Speaker 1: And if he does play, is it on a pitch count?

2047
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:42,560
Speaker 1: And if you don't think it's this week. When do

2048
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:44,960
Speaker 1: you think it is now? I think it's this week.

2049
01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:46,720
Speaker 1: I think it's been this week for a while. I

2050
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,360
Speaker 1: think the Bills opening the window before the Chiefs game

2051
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:51,599
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, put them in that spot where

2052
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 1: probably be this week. It could be next week. There's

2053
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:56,720
Speaker 1: still you know, a room procedurally to do it that way.

2054
01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:58,639
Speaker 1: I do think he'll be on a pitch count, though,

2055
01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think I don't think they put Tree

2056
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:03,320
Speaker 1: Davis White out there to play one hundred percent he

2057
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 1: was doing before. I think in large part because they

2058
01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:09,000
Speaker 1: have guys they can play. I mean, Dayan Jackson was

2059
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 1: a reasonably adequate replacement at Worse at the end of

2060
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: last year, has been again this year. Both Christian Benford

2061
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 1: and Kyer Elam have been good enough. You know, with

2062
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: varying degrees success. They don't need to put a one

2063
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:25,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent snap workload on Tree Davious White's play. So

2064
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:27,200
Speaker 1: why do it? You know, let these other guys play,

2065
01:51:27,479 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 1: let everyone work in and you know, allow White to

2066
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:32,240
Speaker 1: kind of ramp up a little bit because you know,

2067
01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:35,639
Speaker 1: a the secondary is in no terrible shape to where

2068
01:51:35,640 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 1: they desperately need him. The defense certainly is it not?

2069
01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 1: And they're five and one through what will probably be

2070
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:42,680
Speaker 1: the toughest six game stretch of this season. There's no

2071
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 1: need to push this, so I don't see why they would.

2072
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 1: What do you think it changes if Tredavius White's in there?

2073
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:51,160
Speaker 1: How much different is it gonna look? I mean, I

2074
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:52,960
Speaker 1: know the guy's a great player, no question about it.

2075
01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:55,719
Speaker 1: He's an All Pro caliber player. But at this point,

2076
01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:58,440
Speaker 1: the way the defense has been playing, and the upgrade

2077
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 1: up front, but the defense has gotten how do you

2078
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:04,280
Speaker 1: think it manifests. I'll certainly you get more depth, and

2079
01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 1: you've got a great guy you can depend on. Maybe

2080
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 1: you can do one or two different things in the

2081
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 1: secondary than you don't want to do with Benford or

2082
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 1: Elam out there. But I don't know how much it

2083
01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 1: changes the way it looks for the Bills. I think

2084
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:21,880
Speaker 1: a couple of smaller areas. You touched on it a

2085
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 1: little bit there. I think it makes it easier for

2086
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:25,640
Speaker 1: the Bills to hide in the sky coverages. When you

2087
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:28,800
Speaker 1: have the experience that Tredavis White has, especially next to

2088
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:32,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, next to Tremade Emmonds, Matt Mulano, the ability

2089
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: to change things up give different looks, just the better

2090
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:37,760
Speaker 1: experience of more windows for that. The other thing too,

2091
01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think when you're a team that wants

2092
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:43,080
Speaker 1: to attack this Bill's defense, there's not many or any

2093
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:46,320
Speaker 1: good choices, but the best one might be defined where

2094
01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:48,320
Speaker 1: your rookie corner is and throw at him just because

2095
01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:50,439
Speaker 1: they're the rookie corner, and then where you might have

2096
01:52:50,800 --> 01:52:53,519
Speaker 1: the best opportunity to succeed. Pittsburgh did it a lot,

2097
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 1: The Chiefs did it to a lesser degree. So by

2098
01:52:56,120 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 1: putting Trey White on the field, even if he's not

2099
01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:00,519
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, I think at least discourages that idea

2100
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 1: where an offense can say, well, I don't know what

2101
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:05,080
Speaker 1: to do, let's go try the guy that's never played

2102
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 1: in the league before. That options off the table, especially

2103
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:10,800
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be Trey White with Dan Jackson on

2104
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 1: the other side, which I think eventually is where the

2105
01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:14,880
Speaker 1: Bills might be going with it. It might just be

2106
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:16,800
Speaker 1: the opposite of that too, if you come in and say, hey,

2107
01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:19,639
Speaker 1: this guy hasn't played it down a football for twelve months,

2108
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 1: let's see what he's got. We know the other guy,

2109
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, it may be saying listen, how confident is he,

2110
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:30,360
Speaker 1: as he rusty, how are his skills? It may at

2111
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,640
Speaker 1: least in the early going of a game, he might

2112
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:36,479
Speaker 1: get some targets really quickly just to say, okay, let's

2113
01:53:36,479 --> 01:53:38,880
Speaker 1: see what you got and you know, how's your preseason

2114
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 1: go right kind of thing? Right? Yeah, for sure. I mean,

2115
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:44,840
Speaker 1: if it's this week, I think Aaron Rodgers are gonna

2116
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 1: try that. After that, what if it's Zach Wilson and

2117
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:49,160
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette I believe are the next two or do

2118
01:53:49,240 --> 01:53:51,759
Speaker 1: I have the home games back where the Vikings brown.

2119
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 1: Either way, you know this, if Trey White doesn't play

2120
01:53:55,240 --> 01:53:56,880
Speaker 1: this week, there's not a whole lot of quarterbacks I'm

2121
01:53:56,920 --> 01:53:59,360
Speaker 1: worried about, you know, targeting. Thank you very much. Oh,

2122
01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:02,040
Speaker 1: it is the Vikings right, Well, yeah, the Justin Jefferson

2123
01:54:02,080 --> 01:54:04,720
Speaker 1: game will be a whole different deal. So yeah, it's

2124
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:08,759
Speaker 1: but in terms of you know, how things are different.

2125
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:11,800
Speaker 1: You know, I think again, what teams are trying to

2126
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:15,160
Speaker 1: do right now, where they maybe find any success is

2127
01:54:15,240 --> 01:54:18,280
Speaker 1: going on after whether it's Elam or Benford, and that'll

2128
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 1: change someone. Maybe they do go after Tray White. We'll

2129
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:24,680
Speaker 1: see last one for you, Thad, give us your assessment

2130
01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:28,920
Speaker 1: of the division as it's currently constituted. Obviously, the Jets

2131
01:54:28,960 --> 01:54:32,320
Speaker 1: are a much different opponent without Breefe Hall. Their defense

2132
01:54:32,480 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 1: is plucky, but Zach Wilson is struggling mightily, I mean

2133
01:54:37,040 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 1: as the averaging like two yards an attempt or something.

2134
01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:44,360
Speaker 1: And then Miami certainly didn't impress anybody last night, and

2135
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:48,080
Speaker 1: New England might be the team hiding in the weeds.

2136
01:54:48,160 --> 01:54:50,040
Speaker 1: Give us your give us your take on these other

2137
01:54:50,120 --> 01:54:54,120
Speaker 1: three teams seven weeks in. I think for the most part,

2138
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:56,760
Speaker 1: they're what we thought they would be. I mean, I

2139
01:54:56,800 --> 01:54:59,480
Speaker 1: think the Jets are better defensively, and like you said,

2140
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 1: without Briefe, all the offense, you know, kind of goes

2141
01:55:01,520 --> 01:55:05,160
Speaker 1: back to being you know, very toothless, unless Zach Wilson starts,

2142
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, playing a whole lot better than he has.

2143
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the Dolphins, there are three losses, are when

2144
01:55:09,240 --> 01:55:12,040
Speaker 1: their quarterback, you know, quarterbacks were going in and out

2145
01:55:12,080 --> 01:55:13,920
Speaker 1: as fast as possible. So I'm gonna cut them some

2146
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 1: slack there. The Patriots, what are their three wins. It's

2147
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna be uh Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago if they

2148
01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 1: win tonight. I mean, I'm not impressed by any of

2149
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:26,160
Speaker 1: those four games, so they're still They're still the Patriots.

2150
01:55:26,200 --> 01:55:28,960
Speaker 1: They can play d you know, their run game is okay.

2151
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 1: But I think all three teams you've seen what happened.

2152
01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:33,640
Speaker 1: When a team like the Jets gets a lot of

2153
01:55:33,720 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 1: high draft picks, they find good players eventually. I think

2154
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have a formula, but it's not something that's

2155
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna challenge the Bills, and almost the same with the Patriots.

2156
01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:44,720
Speaker 1: So I think there's gonna be more of an interest

2157
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:47,720
Speaker 1: in those three teams chasing a wildcard chasing the Bills.

2158
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:49,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'd be surprised if we're worried about that

2159
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:53,440
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving or even now. Yeah, right, all right, Thad,

2160
01:55:53,680 --> 01:55:57,040
Speaker 1: thanks as much, Thanks as always. We appreciate you weighing

2161
01:55:57,080 --> 01:55:59,880
Speaker 1: in here after seven weeks in. We'll catch up with

2162
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the season. Thanks man, Thanks man.

2163
01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:04,240
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys always gonna being on. All right. That's

2164
01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 1: w ROC sports director in Rochester, Thad Brown joining us

2165
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:11,960
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live. Yeah, I mean there was this,

2166
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:13,680
Speaker 1: there was a little bit there where I was like,

2167
01:56:13,800 --> 01:56:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, what the Jets are. They might be a tough,

2168
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:20,400
Speaker 1: tougher out than we anticipated. But now Breet Hall going.

2169
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:23,640
Speaker 1: The Jets are gonna be that's tough. Yeah, and the Patriots.

2170
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:26,080
Speaker 1: The Patriots play the Bears tonight. Then they're gonna beat

2171
01:56:26,080 --> 01:56:28,040
Speaker 1: the Jets in two weeks. Then they're gonna beat the

2172
01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 1: Colts in three weeks. Then they're gonna have a bye

2173
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 1: week and they're gonna beat the Jets again. They're gonna

2174
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 1: have a five game winning streak here in a minute,

2175
01:56:35,200 --> 01:56:37,920
Speaker 1: and then before they get to the Minnesota Vikings where

2176
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:40,280
Speaker 1: they play on the road at Minnesota. I don't even

2177
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 1: know if the Minnesota Vikings are any good. They're five

2178
01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 1: and what are they five one two or five and one? Now? Yeah,

2179
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:49,240
Speaker 1: they had to buy Also, they're five and one, and

2180
01:56:49,400 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 1: I think, much like the Giants, a lot of their

2181
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:55,640
Speaker 1: victories are one score victories. Remember all the games they

2182
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 1: were losing by one score last year and they missed

2183
01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:00,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs because of it. Now they're win in all

2184
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:04,040
Speaker 1: those games this year. Yeah, but yeah, it still counts though.

2185
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean, no, no, no, I'm not I'm not trying

2186
01:57:05,720 --> 01:57:09,160
Speaker 1: to dismiss it. I don't know that they have too

2187
01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:12,560
Speaker 1: many super quality wins. Much like Fad pointed out with

2188
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:17,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots, I mean they've beaten Cleveland Detroit, you know

2189
01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:19,200
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, yeah, they beat they beat the Packers,

2190
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:23,040
Speaker 1: the Lions, the Saints, the Bears, and the Dolphins. Yeah

2191
01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 1: that's I mean, all those are down and they're playing

2192
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:27,879
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. They're playing the Cardinals next, and the Washington

2193
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 1: Commander's next before they get to us. So they may

2194
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:35,400
Speaker 1: will be schedules. They may well be seven and one, six,

2195
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:38,320
Speaker 1: eight and one, six and seven and one, But when

2196
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 1: they come to Buffalo, yeah, seven and one, they may

2197
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,840
Speaker 1: well be seven and one. Kind of like a paper

2198
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:47,920
Speaker 1: tire seven a little bit, aren't they. They beat nobody's

2199
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 1: impressed by their Dolphins. Again, I said this at the

2200
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 1: top of the show too, and I'll say it again.

2201
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,160
Speaker 1: You can't when we had mic rob on, we can't

2202
01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:59,360
Speaker 1: blame these teams for who's on their schedule. They got

2203
01:57:59,480 --> 01:58:02,720
Speaker 1: to play who I have to play. But at the

2204
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:06,400
Speaker 1: same time, it's hard not to be I mean, less

2205
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:10,480
Speaker 1: than impressed with the teams they're beating. I mean, you

2206
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:14,240
Speaker 1: play the Bears, the Lions, and now the down Packers

2207
01:58:14,640 --> 01:58:19,560
Speaker 1: twice in the year. I don't know, I'm having a

2208
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 1: hard time, Like if the Bills had a bunch of

2209
01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:25,440
Speaker 1: Division games at the first seven weeks, and they beat

2210
01:58:25,480 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 1: the Jets twice, and they beat the Patriots twice, you know,

2211
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 1: and and that's how they got to be five and one.

2212
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:33,400
Speaker 1: You know, when people said stuff about the Bills, I

2213
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:36,960
Speaker 1: can understand that too. So I don't know, I'm just

2214
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 1: having a hard time saying, Oh, the Patriots, Minnesota's for

2215
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:42,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, but all these teams,

2216
01:58:42,280 --> 01:58:44,680
Speaker 1: you can almost the Patriots are gonna be eight and

2217
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:47,560
Speaker 1: three when they when the Bills go play them, they're

2218
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna be eight and three. The Vikings are gonna be

2219
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 1: what I say, seven and one, Yeah, could when they

2220
01:58:52,600 --> 01:58:58,840
Speaker 1: get when they get to Buffalo, Um, it's yeah, yeah,

2221
01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:03,000
Speaker 1: there's the Bills have a really tough schedule coming up.

2222
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:07,120
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too. Then this this is the truth,

2223
01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 1: and it's it's in the Bill's favor. You look at

2224
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 1: the conference standings the Bills right now, their strength of

2225
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:19,240
Speaker 1: schedule wins or five point five zero, Yeah, they played

2226
01:59:19,280 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 1: a winning record and they're five and one against those teams.

2227
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:24,960
Speaker 1: How many other teams with five wins or more can

2228
01:59:25,040 --> 01:59:29,840
Speaker 1: say that? The Chiefs can say it. There's been some teams.

2229
01:59:29,920 --> 01:59:33,400
Speaker 1: Look at this, the Chiefs, the Bills, The Chiefs, the Titans,

2230
01:59:34,560 --> 01:59:39,040
Speaker 1: and Baltimore all have above hot five hundred winning percentages

2231
01:59:39,040 --> 01:59:41,400
Speaker 1: and they're all in winning records strength of victory or

2232
01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: strength of victory. Yeah, uh, Miami is four and three

2233
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:48,080
Speaker 1: and their strength of victory is the only team that's

2234
01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:50,960
Speaker 1: point six zero. They've got to and they they are

2235
01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:54,160
Speaker 1: five four and three. But you know a lot of Yeah,

2236
01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:57,120
Speaker 1: so take it for what it Yeah, take it for

2237
01:59:57,200 --> 01:59:59,240
Speaker 1: what it's worth. But I still wait on it. I

2238
01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:02,720
Speaker 1: did another mone. You can see the Patriots are gonna

2239
02:00:02,760 --> 02:00:05,120
Speaker 1: get better, play better, They're gonna win games, and they're

2240
02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:07,000
Speaker 1: gonna be coming into the Bills, are gonna be going

2241
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:10,680
Speaker 1: out there to play them for the division and unless

2242
02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:12,800
Speaker 1: because the Jets, you got to think that just took

2243
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:15,600
Speaker 1: the wind out of their sales, losing brief those guys.

2244
02:00:17,480 --> 02:00:20,640
Speaker 1: And they play the Patriots twice before they play the Bills. Yeah,

2245
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots play the Jets twice before the Patriots play

2246
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:28,800
Speaker 1: the Bills. So break time for us here when we

2247

02:00:58,960 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet from were your thoughts on what

2256
02:01:01,960 --> 02:01:05,000
Speaker 1: is the wildest storyline through the first seven weeks of

2257
02:01:05,200 --> 02:01:10,600
Speaker 1: this NFL season? Anthony says, surprises like you two mentioned

2258
02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:14,560
Speaker 1: about the Jets and the Giants. Also, the AFC West

2259
02:01:14,720 --> 02:01:19,240
Speaker 1: is all hype, no different than before, with Ksey leading

2260
02:01:19,280 --> 02:01:24,240
Speaker 1: their division, Vikings leading their division, Brady and Rogers slipping.

2261
02:01:24,720 --> 02:01:28,040
Speaker 1: Did you all hear Rogers press conference? I only saw

2262
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:31,920
Speaker 1: bits and pieces sent out on social media about it,

2263
02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:37,000
Speaker 1: but I know he has stoked the ire of Bills fans,

2264
02:01:37,960 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 1: saying in part that playing the Bills might be just

2265
02:01:40,640 --> 02:01:43,920
Speaker 1: what our team needs on a three game losing streak.

2266
02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:46,880
Speaker 1: As I said earlier in the show, I respectfully disagree

2267
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:50,400
Speaker 1: because I don't think the Bills are the tonic that

2268
02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is looking for to get the Packers back

2269
02:01:53,440 --> 02:01:55,480
Speaker 1: on track. Yeah that, Yeah, the Bills are not the

2270
02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:58,280
Speaker 1: elixir that's going to revive their season, no question that

2271
02:01:58,640 --> 02:02:00,760
Speaker 1: they're in for a battle when they come in here

2272
02:02:00,800 --> 02:02:02,640
Speaker 1: on the ten and a half point underdog and tell

2273
02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:04,600
Speaker 1: you something I don't I don't know what they're used to.

2274
02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 1: But when there are no venues in the NFC North

2275
02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:15,040
Speaker 1: that rival the road venue of the of the high Mark, Yeah, well,

2276
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:17,600
Speaker 1: I can get loud in the Minnesota in Minnesota's don't

2277
02:02:17,680 --> 02:02:20,600
Speaker 1: but I still don't think it matches this. It's no

2278
02:02:20,760 --> 02:02:23,320
Speaker 1: match for this and the you know, it'll be out,

2279
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 1: especially in prime time, and I'll be it's going to

2280
02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:27,920
Speaker 1: be off the chain. People will be in a lather

2281
02:02:28,120 --> 02:02:32,280
Speaker 1: in a struggle. Yeah. Yeah, his press count it wasn't

2282
02:02:32,320 --> 02:02:36,520
Speaker 1: as inflammatory for did you see. Yeah, a little of it, okay,

2283
02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, okay, he's just trying to he's

2284
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:43,640
Speaker 1: trying to get his own team fired up. Well, I mean,

2285
02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:46,520
Speaker 1: if you can't get fired up playing a team the

2286
02:02:46,600 --> 02:02:49,640
Speaker 1: caliber of the Bills, what are you doing? Yeah, that's right,

2287
02:02:49,640 --> 02:02:52,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, but it's he's you know,

2288
02:02:53,480 --> 02:02:56,960
Speaker 1: Brady's struggling and Rogers are struggle is struggling, which is

2289
02:02:57,320 --> 02:03:01,040
Speaker 1: in and of itself unbelievable. You think they're struggling for

2290
02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:03,920
Speaker 1: the same reason. No, I don't either. Rogers doesn't have

2291
02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:07,000
Speaker 1: anybody with him. He's by himself standing back there. Brady

2292
02:03:07,240 --> 02:03:10,720
Speaker 1: is struggling because he's he's old. He doesn't look like

2293
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:13,080
Speaker 1: he's mentally engaged. It looks like he's got a life

2294
02:03:13,120 --> 02:03:16,920
Speaker 1: that's waiting for him someplace else. And you know, we

2295
02:03:17,040 --> 02:03:19,440
Speaker 1: all probably should have ran to two years ago. We're

2296
02:03:19,480 --> 02:03:22,720
Speaker 1: all well aware of his of his personal life is

2297
02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:27,800
Speaker 1: in the shambles right now. It seems to be. Yeah,

2298
02:03:27,960 --> 02:03:31,280
Speaker 1: that guy, you can understand, is everything butt football is

2299
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:34,440
Speaker 1: bothering him and the team's not as good around him

2300
02:03:34,480 --> 02:03:36,360
Speaker 1: as it was, you know, three years ago or two

2301
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:38,320
Speaker 1: years ago when they were winning the Super Bowl as well.

2302
02:03:38,560 --> 02:03:41,240
Speaker 1: But you look at the quarterbacks around league that switched places.

2303
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Trade for Russ Wilson, trade for Carson Wentz, trade for

2304
02:03:44,240 --> 02:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. All of those trades look horrible, failed, miserable, horrible.

2305
02:03:50,200 --> 02:03:53,160
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting, how is that going to impact

2306
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:59,520
Speaker 1: the aggressiveness with which quarterback hungry teams pursue veterans this

2307
02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:02,800
Speaker 1: all season? Because it's gonna happen. It happens every year.

2308
02:04:03,360 --> 02:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Teams are so starved for competent quarterback play. They will

2309
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:11,520
Speaker 1: literally do almost anything. Are they as aggressive this offseason?

2310
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:14,760
Speaker 1: In light of the failures we've witnessed through the first

2311
02:04:14,800 --> 02:04:18,560
Speaker 1: seven weeks of this year. Ice not gonna affect it?

2312
02:04:20,400 --> 02:04:22,600
Speaker 1: They got it. You gotta have that guy, Yes, you do.

2313
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:25,160
Speaker 1: And what are they gonna what were the Colts gonna do?

2314
02:04:25,240 --> 02:04:29,080
Speaker 1: They train? They're gonna go back with Carson Wentz He no,

2315
02:04:29,440 --> 02:04:32,320
Speaker 1: forget about it. There, they'd rather go. They're gonna go

2316
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:39,600
Speaker 1: with Sam Ellinger. Sam Ellinger like, you know what, man,

2317
02:04:39,840 --> 02:04:42,400
Speaker 1: we're sorry about your shoulder, but we're kind of happy. Thanks.

2318
02:04:42,640 --> 02:04:45,960
Speaker 1: We'd rather have Sam Ellinger. You know. It's like, not

2319
02:04:46,080 --> 02:04:47,800
Speaker 1: only are we we're gonna say, you know what, we're

2320
02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:49,240
Speaker 1: going with him the rest of the year. Thanks, man,

2321
02:04:49,240 --> 02:04:54,200
Speaker 1: appreciate you. That's what they said. Russ Wilson. They Russ

2322
02:04:54,360 --> 02:04:58,360
Speaker 1: your hamstring? Are you going with Bret Rush? Your hand?

2323
02:04:58,560 --> 02:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Your sit down, sit down partially torn? Yeah, we'll see

2324
02:05:04,200 --> 02:05:07,160
Speaker 1: in November. Yeah, that's right, late November. Yeah, after thanks

2325
02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:08,560
Speaker 1: and after that, and then they'll be going with a

2326
02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:10,480
Speaker 1: hot hand who's been two and four in the in

2327
02:05:10,600 --> 02:05:15,280
Speaker 1: your absence. You know, we're gonna thanks Russ Carson went

2328
02:05:15,480 --> 02:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Carson This is how bad. That's how desperate season trades

2329
02:05:20,280 --> 02:05:22,920
Speaker 1: that Steve has laid out at the quarterback position of gone.

2330
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:27,160
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos, who gave up five draft choices for

2331
02:05:27,280 --> 02:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, went with Bret Rippin last week because Russell

2332
02:05:32,160 --> 02:05:37,800
Speaker 1: Wilson's hamstring is supposedly partially torn and we'll see what

2333
02:05:37,840 --> 02:05:40,840
Speaker 1: happens this week. He's supposed to play. They're playing over

2334
02:05:40,920 --> 02:05:44,400
Speaker 1: in Europe this London, um, so we'll see on that.

2335
02:05:44,760 --> 02:05:46,920
Speaker 1: And there's and they're all, yeah, they're all Russell Wilson

2336
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:49,120
Speaker 1: will play because he has a chance to broaden his

2337
02:05:49,240 --> 02:05:53,200
Speaker 1: brand internationally. I get. But here's also the thing too,

2338
02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:56,320
Speaker 1: there's word coming out. Excuse me, there's word coming out now.

2339
02:05:57,240 --> 02:06:00,520
Speaker 1: If the team looks like it's looking made, Ackett is

2340
02:06:00,520 --> 02:06:02,840
Speaker 1: going to stay in London and the team will come

2341
02:06:02,880 --> 02:06:07,680
Speaker 1: back without him. He'll just that they're ready to cut

2342
02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:10,480
Speaker 1: bait in Denver with the head coach. So you can

2343
02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:15,040
Speaker 1: make that I don't know that it's I mean, bless you,

2344
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:17,920
Speaker 1: partially it is head coach. You can make the argument

2345
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:20,760
Speaker 1: that it's not all Russ. It's not No, it's not

2346
02:06:20,920 --> 02:06:24,240
Speaker 1: it's not all Russ and Denver part of it though, right, Well,

2347
02:06:24,440 --> 02:06:27,760
Speaker 1: they chunk. Let me just tell you this, they wanted

2348
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 1: to be head coach because they they didn't just trade

2349
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:33,880
Speaker 1: for Russ. They traded for him and extended him two

2350
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,360
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five million worth. They need Russ to

2351
02:06:37,440 --> 02:06:41,680
Speaker 1: be right, so they're gonna give him every chance to fail,

2352
02:06:42,400 --> 02:06:46,480
Speaker 1: even though he's struggling. Matt Ryan as we know, as

2353
02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:49,960
Speaker 1: a separated shoulder. But Frank Reich today says Sam Ellinger

2354
02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:52,240
Speaker 1: is not only going in because Matt Ryan is injured.

2355
02:06:52,280 --> 02:06:54,040
Speaker 1: He's going in for the rest of the season as

2356
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:59,480
Speaker 1: our starter. Okay. And then what was the other trade

2357
02:07:00,080 --> 02:07:05,520
Speaker 1: is um wins wins? Who Taylor Heineke goes out and

2358
02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 1: beats the Packers? What are you doing? And those three

2359
02:07:12,520 --> 02:07:16,000
Speaker 1: teams that we mentioned, Steve, those three teams that we

2360
02:07:16,120 --> 02:07:22,560
Speaker 1: mentioned Washington three and four, Indianapolis three, three and one,

2361
02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:28,480
Speaker 1: and Denver ranked twenty fourth, twenty ninth and dead last

2362
02:07:29,040 --> 02:07:35,160
Speaker 1: in scoring. It ain't good, man. Yeah, they won a

2363
02:07:35,200 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 1: total of a Yeah that is let me tell you

2364
02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:47,120
Speaker 1: that's those are bad goose bumps. That's not good. And

2365
02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:49,839
Speaker 1: look the Seahawks are four and three without Russ Wilson,

2366
02:07:50,360 --> 02:07:53,440
Speaker 1: that's right. The Atlanta Falcons, who's who are in the

2367
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:56,800
Speaker 1: middle of a rebuilding year are three and four, which

2368
02:07:56,920 --> 02:07:59,960
Speaker 1: is exactly what those other teams are. If Marcus Mariota

2369
02:08:00,400 --> 02:08:04,120
Speaker 1: and then the other one Russ Wilson and Carson Wentz

2370
02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:06,080
Speaker 1: and the Colts, there are three, three and one. That's it.

2371
02:08:06,240 --> 02:08:09,480
Speaker 1: And I wonder how much that plays with the psyche

2372
02:08:09,720 --> 02:08:14,520
Speaker 1: and realistic the ability of these franchises to be realistic,

2373
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:19,080
Speaker 1: because from our vantage point, from a thousand miles away,

2374
02:08:19,760 --> 02:08:23,560
Speaker 1: we're like, these teams are sinking ships, they're in trouble.

2375
02:08:23,960 --> 02:08:26,720
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're sitting in their offices going, we're

2376
02:08:26,840 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 1: right in this thing. We're three and four. Look at

2377
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:33,240
Speaker 1: all the other teams that we're right in this thing. Yeah,

2378
02:08:33,280 --> 02:08:35,720
Speaker 1: and there, and in a way they're not wrong. No,

2379
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:38,560
Speaker 1: I'll say this, and we sit here too. And I

2380
02:08:38,760 --> 02:08:42,720
Speaker 1: think back to the end of the of the drought

2381
02:08:42,840 --> 02:08:45,080
Speaker 1: years for Buffalo, when Tyrod was the quarterback, and you

2382
02:08:45,200 --> 02:08:47,960
Speaker 1: just he was so frustrating, never lost it for you,

2383
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:49,600
Speaker 1: but he couldn't win it. It felt like you were

2384
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:52,120
Speaker 1: treading water. You felt like you were on the cusp

2385
02:08:52,240 --> 02:08:55,240
Speaker 1: of it. But you had to build it around him

2386
02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:58,720
Speaker 1: so big that it would these guys now and coaches

2387
02:08:58,720 --> 02:09:01,080
Speaker 1: around the NFL. We've we've had the benefit of it

2388
02:09:01,400 --> 02:09:04,360
Speaker 1: of having Sean McDermott, Brian Dabele and now Ken Dorsey

2389
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:08,280
Speaker 1: and of course Leslie Frazier, really good coordinators who put

2390
02:09:08,360 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 1: their teams in, you know, gotten matchups they wanted, and

2391
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:14,280
Speaker 1: the GM is always refurbishing and trying, and when they

2392
02:09:14,360 --> 02:09:16,920
Speaker 1: see a problem, they fix it and they go all

2393
02:09:16,960 --> 02:09:19,440
Speaker 1: out to fix it. And it's it's been to the

2394
02:09:19,560 --> 02:09:21,560
Speaker 1: point where you know, you got the Seahawks trade away

2395
02:09:21,760 --> 02:09:24,480
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback in Russ Wilson. Now they're going to

2396
02:09:24,560 --> 02:09:27,480
Speaker 1: get with Geno Smith, who they competition. They know how

2397
02:09:27,520 --> 02:09:30,120
Speaker 1: to build it and build a team. These teams have

2398
02:09:30,440 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 1: been shown blueprints by these other teams like Buffalo, like

2399
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:37,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City, like Baltimore, who have built around a guy

2400
02:09:38,520 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 1: with a roster that's tough to beat. Yeah, so you

2401
02:09:43,720 --> 02:09:47,280
Speaker 1: never feel like you're that far away when you've got

2402
02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:51,640
Speaker 1: a guy who's at least serviceable. Allah the Minnesota Vikings

2403
02:09:51,680 --> 02:09:55,280
Speaker 1: at five and one, you feel like, okay, well, you

2404
02:09:55,360 --> 02:10:00,360
Speaker 1: know so's this. Yeah, like you know what, we get

2405
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:02,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, man, if we get one turnover, we're

2406
02:10:02,840 --> 02:10:04,880
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, we could if we get one

2407
02:10:04,960 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 1: turnover here and they don't, we don't turn it over there,

2408
02:10:07,920 --> 02:10:10,680
Speaker 1: we get two more wins this we're five and two two,

2409
02:10:11,840 --> 02:10:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, So there's a little bit of that going

2410
02:10:14,600 --> 02:10:17,360
Speaker 1: around at this point of the season. That's which is

2411
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:22,480
Speaker 1: why it's so unbelievably difficult to know where we're at.

2412
02:10:22,520 --> 02:10:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we're we're sitting in like just the stew

2413
02:10:26,800 --> 02:10:32,160
Speaker 1: of an NFL season, right there's a there's a whole

2414
02:10:32,200 --> 02:10:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of ingredients of mediocre teams right now. Yeah, it

2415
02:10:36,040 --> 02:10:37,960
Speaker 1: seems like that, and you know it's one of these

2416
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:40,000
Speaker 1: teams if they get it together and catch a little

2417
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:44,120
Speaker 1: bit of fire boom. But then you get them like

2418
02:10:44,200 --> 02:10:46,080
Speaker 1: the Jets. I mean, all of a sudden they lose

2419
02:10:46,160 --> 02:10:49,840
Speaker 1: breeze hall. Oh my gosh. That's such That's why I'm reserving, Judge.

2420
02:10:49,880 --> 02:10:52,440
Speaker 1: That is such a jetsy thing I almost feel bad

2421
02:10:52,480 --> 02:10:55,880
Speaker 1: for until mid November, almost almost Marco on the tweet

2422
02:10:55,920 --> 02:11:00,520
Speaker 1: chet biggest surprise the putrid quarterback playing the league. With

2423
02:11:00,600 --> 02:11:03,840
Speaker 1: the exception of Alan Mahomes and Borrow Brady should hang

2424
02:11:03,920 --> 02:11:06,879
Speaker 1: it up. Rogers at least has an excuse of no weapons.

2425
02:11:07,240 --> 02:11:11,720
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's been wildly inconsistent. Herbert has regressed. Last night,

2426
02:11:11,800 --> 02:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Picket and Tua were unwatchable and Russ is cooked. He's right.

2427
02:11:17,680 --> 02:11:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there you go. Nice tweet, Marco. That was

2428
02:11:21,040 --> 02:11:23,600
Speaker 1: a good one. And Chuck said to me, the strangest

2429
02:11:23,640 --> 02:11:25,520
Speaker 1: thing is the mediocrity of the play of the quarterbacks

2430
02:11:25,560 --> 02:11:27,640
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL. Other than Hurts Mahomes and our

2431
02:11:27,760 --> 02:11:30,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, every other team is just blah, count ourselves

2432
02:11:31,120 --> 02:11:37,240
Speaker 1: thankful and lucky. Amen. Brother. Yeah, it'll be interesting too,

2433
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:40,960
Speaker 1: for what it's worth. DeShawn Watson's coming back in about

2434
02:11:41,040 --> 02:11:44,360
Speaker 1: a month. And Cleveland is you know, they're not dead

2435
02:11:44,400 --> 02:11:49,440
Speaker 1: and buried. They're close. Yeah, they're getting there. They're doing

2436
02:11:49,480 --> 02:11:51,280
Speaker 1: a heck of a job. They got the shovel out,

2437
02:11:52,160 --> 02:11:55,400
Speaker 1: they're throwing dirt on the right. They're looking at trade

2438
02:11:55,480 --> 02:11:59,560
Speaker 1: people talking about trading Kareem Hunt and Greedy Williams. So

2439
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:02,440
Speaker 1: we'll see what comes out of that. We take a break,

2440
02:12:02,600 --> 02:12:04,080
Speaker 1: Steve and I to close it up here on this

2441
02:12:04,320 --> 02:12:06,760
Speaker 1: Monday after the bye on one Bills Live presented by

2442
02:12:06,800 --> 02:12:23,840
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. So Steve, as

2443
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:26,560
Speaker 1: the Bills come out of their bye, they are the

2444
02:12:26,720 --> 02:12:29,000
Speaker 1: number one offense in football. They are in the number

2445
02:12:29,040 --> 02:12:31,640
Speaker 1: one defense in football. They are also number one on

2446
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:37,080
Speaker 1: offense in total yards per play passing yards. They are

2447
02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:41,080
Speaker 1: also number one in passing average third down efficiency. They

2448
02:12:41,120 --> 02:12:45,480
Speaker 1: are second in scoring defensively, number one overall, number one

2449
02:12:45,680 --> 02:12:49,440
Speaker 1: against the run, number one in yards per carry average against.

2450
02:12:50,040 --> 02:12:53,080
Speaker 1: They are number four in sacks per play. They are

2451
02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:58,200
Speaker 1: also second in what are they second in? Oh, that's

2452
02:12:58,240 --> 02:13:02,360
Speaker 1: punt return punk coverage? Second punt coverage, first in kick coverage,

2453
02:13:02,960 --> 02:13:06,160
Speaker 1: first in points all out. So even a little special

2454
02:13:06,200 --> 02:13:09,320
Speaker 1: teams in there for you, they're hard to beat. UM.

2455
02:13:09,880 --> 02:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that you notice when

2456
02:13:11,640 --> 02:13:13,640
Speaker 1: you see this team play as opposed to other teams

2457
02:13:13,680 --> 02:13:16,480
Speaker 1: around the league, because we watch them closely and they're

2458
02:13:16,480 --> 02:13:18,720
Speaker 1: maybe some other teams who can who can you know

2459
02:13:19,000 --> 02:13:23,120
Speaker 1: claim this? The Bill's defense is good enough to win

2460
02:13:23,240 --> 02:13:27,320
Speaker 1: games with their pass rush. They're also good enough to

2461
02:13:27,360 --> 02:13:30,400
Speaker 1: win games with their secondary. They're also good enough to

2462
02:13:30,480 --> 02:13:32,800
Speaker 1: win games with their running game or with their with

2463
02:13:32,960 --> 02:13:36,600
Speaker 1: their offensive short passing game and their and their quarterback.

2464
02:13:38,040 --> 02:13:39,600
Speaker 1: And they can do it run in the football like

2465
02:13:39,640 --> 02:13:45,880
Speaker 1: they did last week against Kansas City. UM, they can

2466
02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:48,520
Speaker 1: beat you multiple ways on both sides of the ball,

2467
02:13:48,600 --> 02:13:51,920
Speaker 1: and of course special teams. They're stellar. They do a

2468
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:54,880
Speaker 1: lot of really good things. They're a tough team to beat,

2469
02:13:54,960 --> 02:13:57,440
Speaker 1: and Bills fans know this, and it's you know, you

2470
02:13:57,480 --> 02:14:01,720
Speaker 1: can articulate. And we've always said when they when when

2471
02:14:01,800 --> 02:14:04,040
Speaker 1: they lose games, it's because of them, not the opponent,

2472
02:14:04,080 --> 02:14:06,240
Speaker 1: and it beat themselves and or they make a mistake,

2473
02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:09,000
Speaker 1: or the opponents advance takes advantage of a mistake. That's

2474
02:14:09,040 --> 02:14:10,800
Speaker 1: where it's a great place to be if you're Buffalo.

2475
02:14:12,200 --> 02:14:16,400
Speaker 1: The team has extraordinary depth. The defense might be even better.

2476
02:14:17,680 --> 02:14:21,560
Speaker 1: The rookies have roles. The offense is in good hands

2477
02:14:21,600 --> 02:14:24,360
Speaker 1: with Dorsey. There is some work left to do, but

2478
02:14:24,440 --> 02:14:26,880
Speaker 1: it's looking pretty good. Let's go see tomorrow at one
