60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: Ferguson the Special Teams guy coming in, you should take

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: credit for it. I shouldn't go in. It had absolutely

62
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: nothing to do with his parents on there, go ahead.

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: That's good. He was not on the list of players

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: that I put in that we should get on this show,

65
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: and I feel bad about do it, sitting about leaving

66
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: him off. I'll leave him off the list. So I'm

67
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: glad he's here. I am too looking forward to He's

68
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: a great guy. I got a lot to talk about

69
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: many interests off the field, including baseball and other things.

70
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: I won't hold it against him about the baseball thing,

71
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: but it's it's weird too. And I just thought about this.

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: He's got a younger brother that he long snapped at LSU,

73
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Reid Ferguson. He has a younger brother that long snapps

74
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: at LSU, and I think him back to other long

75
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: snappers in the history that it runs in families. Yeah,

76
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I can see that it does. It runs in families

77
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: where a guy I'll learned to do it and he hasn't,

78
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, gets a career and listen to college scholarship

79
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: for long snapping. I mean, do it. I mean, I

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: have long told many people who would listen to me,

81
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: if you want to get to have a professional athletes career,

82
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: you're really not sure about how you do it or whatever.

83
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: If you've got to if you you know, if you're

84
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: a big kid and you're not a football guy, you

85
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: don't like to be a long snapper, Yeah there is

86
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: if you can get really good at it, which you know,

87
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: all it takes his practice in a little bit of instruction,

88
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: and boom, you've got a long, illustrious career in the

89
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: National Football League. You've got guys long snapping for fifteen years.

90
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Well to your point, and it can occurred to me

91
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: doing my spotting boards Tuesday night for the Dolphins. Guess

92
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: who's not the long snapper for the Dolphins anymore? John

93
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: Denny fourteen seasons. He was the long snapper from two

94
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: thousand and five through last year, twenty eighteen. John Denny.

95
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: He went to two Pro Bowls. His brother Ryan played here. Right.

96
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: He spent fourteen years playing in the NFL, making good

97
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: money for long snapping, and they finally did they cut

98
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: him loose. I'm trying to figure out what happened. I

99
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: think he retired board. I'm not sure, and like Adam

100
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: Lingner was a long snapper for our Bills teams back

101
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: in the day, and Marv and Bill they were begging

102
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Adam Lingner to keep playing. He's like, I mean, he goes, no, man,

103
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: my obow hurts, my back hurts. I'm giving it. I'm done,

104
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,720

00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: Ferguson coming in today that the switch is nice. And

00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: there was another this can't across my Ethan Albright, right,

115
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: down on a Tuesday. They tried these guys out and

116
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm walking down the tunnel and I look out and

117
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: they're they go, hey, would you come out and hold

118
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: for the snapper. We're trying out. I was like, yeah, yeah,

119
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: So I go down. I was working out. So I

120
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: come down and I look out and it was so sunny,

121
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, it was really bright, clear day, hot as

122
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: all get out. And I look come down and go,

123
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: oh no, I look at this guy, and I go,

124
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: he's got purple hair. His hair was so naturally red.

125
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: It was the right color of red naturally that when

126
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: the sun hit it on a bright day like that,

127
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: I go, it's purple. That's how dark red his hair was.

128
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: And and he was that way his whole career. He

129
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: had the reddest hair of any human being I've ever seen.

130
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. And he was, you know, six to five,

131
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: and he would have played offensive line. He had a

132
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: bad knee that he kind of worked around. But Ethan

133
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: all break was money as a snapper. I got one

134
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: for you. And this this is what I came across.

135
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: I was confused. Garrison Sandborn, Oh yeah, long snapper. He's

136
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: with the Niners. Now, that's what I was watching Niners

137
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: the other day. Yeah, he went to the Niners. He

138
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: spent two years before that with Tampa Bay and eight

139
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: years before that seven or eight years with the Buffalo Bills.

140
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: This guy is still alongside double digit years in the

141
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,720

00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: nobody's nobody's pounding his head every Day's right, you know

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: he's not busting wedges. Well, there's a good topic when

145
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: we get when we get reads, You're right, yeah, we

146
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: incite the guy you replace. Garrison Sanborn is now in

147
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: his fourteenth year. Ethan Albright went a while, John Denny

148

00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: subculture of football that is a little fraternity. It's a

153
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: little bit like kicking, but it's its own animal, you know.

154
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: And what it comes down to, murf I'll tell you this,

155
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: it's absolutely nothing but about trust. When when they special

156
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: teams coordinator trust you knows you can do it. They

157
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: want you on their team, they'll and they'll pull for you.

158
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: They gotta have a guy that can do it. Every

159
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: team has a guy and if you can be that guy,

160
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: you're you're there for a long time, because if you

161
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: can get trust by the right people, they won't let

162
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah, they won't let you out the door.

163
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: Looks like Reid Ferguson is on his way to that

164
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: sort of trust factor here, So we'll talk with him

165
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: at two o'clock. That's what the show looks like. We

166
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: got again minutes away from going to practice. The bills

167
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: all practice. I believe they're going outdoors, although I hear

168
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: a thumping music which may indicate they've decided to move

169
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: things indoors at the last second because it is raining here.

170
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: An Orchard Park music is here. That's two wall music,

171
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: not one wall music. That's a little it's not as

172
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: clear as it usually is. Uh. Yeah, And we're gonna

173
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: get an injury update. Uh we are, sooner or later

174
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: we will. I'm really anxious about this game, about who's active,

175
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,559
Speaker 1: who's not active. They had the bye week to get healthy.

176
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of guys get nicked up in

177
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: the last game in Tennessee. They finished the game hobbled

178
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Devin Singletary was close to playing.

179
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: He's not playing. He didn't play in the in the

180
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: Tennessee game. It's an extra two weeks now under his belt. H.

181
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, Mitch Morris, H Tyler Croft. We've been waiting

182
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: on him all through during OTA's training camp and everything. Uh.

183
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: Corey Thompson is coming off a scope on his ankle.

184
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: Just a ton of guys that Matt Milano is limited.

185
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: I doubt if he'll play this week. I don't know.

186
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of I want to see who's gonna

187
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: play in this game. Yeah, yes, I think they're gonna

188
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: get a new roster, skill spot guys on the roster

189
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: on the offense. Yesterday had John Brown limited with his

190
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: growing Milano limited with his hamstring, Corey Thompson limited with

191
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: his ankle, and at some point today they'll release today's update.

192
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins have an interesting injury going on as well, a

193
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: bunch of his interesting injuries. The bills made by the way,

194
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about the weather, how it was raining here

195
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park today. Sunday looks good, sixty four degrees.

196
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: The forecast high for Sunday partly cloudy. Skuy's just a

197
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: ten percent chance of rain and late wins. Roster moved today.

198
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McCloud is back signed to the practice squad

199
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Bills a six round pick twenty eighteen. Ray Ray McLoud

200
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: is now a Buffalo Bill again. He was just released

201
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: by Carolina two days ago. Cut by the Bills and

202
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: the final cutdown went to Carolina. They tried him as

203
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: a return specialist. He had six fumbles on returns over

204
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: the last three games. Enough, Carolina Panthers said, and Ray

205
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Ray McLoud was released on Tuesday and is now back

206
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: on the Bills practice squad. He played ten games for

207
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: the Bills last year, one start. He had five catches

208
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: for thirty six yards, had one kickoff return and a

209
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: punt return last year for the Bills. So Ray Ray

210
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: McCloud back on the Buffalo Bills practice squad. Expected to

211
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: be here today. Good for him. It took a little

212
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: what a couple of week hiatus? Yeah, six week hiatus

213
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: and Carolina Good for him? All right? Twitter, Poul Twitter question,

214
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: Way to get the conversation started. Basically, that's how we

215
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: use it. And we want to talk a little bit

216
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: about this game on Sunday and what you're looking for.

217
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: And look, the Bills are sixteen and a half seventeen

218
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: point favorites, which is outrageous. Really, that doesn't happen much

219
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Rarely, if ever, happens with the Buffalo Bills.

220
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: We know that, and we anticipate the Bills are gonna win.

221
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: By the way, Steve, I watched another Dolphins game. I

222
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: watched their opening game because I want to see some fits, right,

223
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: So I watched their opening game against Baltimore. Opening Day,

224
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: the Dolphins at home against Baltimore. Oh my god, oh

225
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: my goodness. The Ravens scored each time they touched the ball. Essentially,

226
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: it was awful, terrible, the defensively terrible. Game was over

227
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: four five minutes into it, it was over. It was ridiculous. So, yeah,

228
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot to look at. And I

229
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: know the Bills are heavy favorites. There should be heavy

230
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: favorites in this game. It's not a guarantee. We know

231
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: that we won't fall into that trap. And I can think,

232
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: as you can tell from the players we've talked to,

233
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: they're not buying that either you know, guaranteed win or anything.

234
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: But our Twitter poll starts with the premise of a

235
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Buffaloe victory. This is the freedom we have on Twitter.

236
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: So here's our Twitter pole question. Along with the Bills win,

237
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: all right, not that that's given, but let's say first

238
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: thing he says, I don't care, just win. Along with

239
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: that win, what do you want to see Sunday against

240
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: the Dolphins? What are you looking for? We offer a

241
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: couple of suggestions. You want to see motor Singletary spark

242
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: the offense. You want to see Josh Allen in the

243
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: pass game improving. You want to see more from the defense,

244
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: more sacks, more turnovers, there's something else. Let us know

245
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: what you think. Early returns from the Twitter poll, sixty

246
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: three percent of you say you want to see more

247
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: improvement from the passing game. There are more weapons that

248
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: appears on the horizon, including Tyler Crows and the two

249
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: Williams with his second game, so maybe that's the way

250
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: to go. Twenty seven percent of you say Devin Singletary

251
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: with a spark to the offense. I look to see

252
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary established a role in the offense and a

253
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: consistent role, getting more carries than he did ten carries

254
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: in the first two games. Only seven percent of you

255
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: say you're looking for more from the defense saxon turnovers.

256
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: Three percent have something else in mind. Phone lines are

257
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: open to discuss eight fifty and toll free one eight

258
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Send it a tweet,

259
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: We're reading it on the tweet sheet, and you can

260
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: vote in the Twitter poll at one bills Live. What

261
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: about you. I've been thinking about this a lot, not

262
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: quite this, this exact Twitter poll, but it's been a

263
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: long time. I think it's really a unique thing here

264
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo that we've been able to experience. Last year,

265
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen got on the field in the second

266
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: half of the season, I couldn't wait to see him

267
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: play because you could see him getting better and better

268
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 1: all the time. You'd see him one week he'd throw it,

269
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: throw a bad interception, next week he would throw it away,

270
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: and then the next week he would slide when he

271
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: could could have taken a hit, or he'd take a

272
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: guy on after a long run instead of running out

273
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: of bounds. You saw him do specific things better every week.

274
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: So it's really fun to watch him progress. Right when

275
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: we get to this year and you see the progress

276
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: in Josh, He's completing you know, ten percent more of

277
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: his passes. He's up to, you know, sixty two you know, Uh,

278
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: he's doing that better. The offense looks better. There's but

279
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing. There are nine new guys on this

280
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: offense now with the trading of Zay Jones. The guy's

281
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: left are Dion Dawkins and Josh Allen and DeMarco when

282
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: he's in there. But everybody else is new, and there's

283
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: so much we don't know about it. Devin Singletary was

284
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise. Frank Gore has been a pleasant surprise.

285
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox has been a pleasant surprise. Cole Beasley when

286
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: he is demanding double teams when he's in the slot,

287
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: they're bracketing him every single snap of the of the ball.

288
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: Of the defenses are finding him first and forcing Josh

289
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: to go to John Brown, John Brown and his speed.

290
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: And now you got Tyler Croft coming in the game,

291
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: you get Devin Singletary back on the field. I mean,

292
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really, we don't even know who these guys

293
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: are yet. Offensively, you know, we don't know what role

294
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: they could play. I think they have a role to play.

295
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: And that's what I always say that it seems like

296
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: this offense has got a big engine. If they could

297
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: get it started. But we don't even know where the

298
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: buttons and knobs are yet, right, I mean, we don't

299
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: even know where the the ignition key is yet. Who

300
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: is it? Is it Devin Singletary, but certainly Frank Gore

301
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: has been a go to guy. But I think it's

302
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: been one of the fun things about this team at

303
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: this early stage of their growth has been, you know,

304
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: finding this stuff out. Yeah, right, And that's that's been

305
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Going to a four and one

306
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: record has been awesome. But the gravy is the fact

307
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: that there's so much more fun stuff to look forward to.

308
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: It's just not like, Okay, we're gonna match up with

309
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: this team all that some people think with the new

310
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: NFL the last couple of years and the way teams

311
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: played preseason that teams, good ones in particular, use the

312
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: first third of the regular season. It's sort of a

313
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: preseason let's see who we are, Let's see what we have,

314
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: Let's try this, let's try that. Do you believe that's

315
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: the case here with the Buffalo Bills five games, if

316
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: they had the luxury of saying, let's test this out,

317
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: let's try this. I think I think some of it

318
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: is I think some of it is, Yeah, I mean,

319
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: because I think they feel like and I think rightfully. So,

320
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: They've got enough guys in their toolbox that they can

321
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: They can ask Dawson Knox to do some things they

322
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: didn't ask their tight ends to do last year. They

323
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: can ask. You know, They've got Lee Smith in the

324
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: mix as an extra offensive lineman, slash goal line reception guy,

325
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: an outside blocker on the edge. They've got some speed

326
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: on the outside, and some dependability with John Brown certainly,

327
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: a slot receiver in Cole Beasley they like, and then

328
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: a running back that's proven and is still productive in

329
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, and this new shiny little toy in Devin Singletary.

330
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: They've got enough weapons in the toolbox. Murphy, I think

331
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: they're still I think it'll take some time because of

332
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Devin's Singletary's injury, because of Tyler Croft's injuries, and now

333
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: they plugged Duke Williams in. They got to find out

334
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: about him too, So I think it's gonna take much

335
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: longer with this crew to find out exactly who they

336
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: are offensively than other teams. You know, like you always

337
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: hear you like New England, they always take it takes

338
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: them three or four weeks to do it. And those

339
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: they've got an established quarterback with a couple of guys

340
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: that they know what they've got. The Bills have got

341
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: nine new guys they got to find out about. Um.

342
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna take a while for him.

343
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's you know, that's too bad,

344
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: But it's also kind of good four and one, right,

345
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: particularly when you've got a schedule like the Bills have

346
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: three game homestretch coming up to get to the halfway

347
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: point of the season. Yeah, it sets up perfectly for

348
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: him to do that. And I think I think you're

349
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: right there. I think they're in the midst of just

350
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: finding out who they are well expensively. This week's game

351
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: Bills in Miami is sponsored by Great League's Cancer Care.

352
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Together We're Bigger than cancer. Bills continue to get ready

353
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: for this game and joining us right now on the

354
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: practice field on the sidelines anyway outside the ed Pro

355
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: Sports Training Center. Happy to have Chris Brown, Bills Insider

356
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: from Buffalo Bills dot Com with this good afternoon. Chris.

357
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: Are you getting wet out there as it raining? Yeah,

358
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: it's rain and it's a it's kind of a wind

359
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: driven mist, so not quite a drizzle, but a wind

360
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: driven mist here. And uh, it'sn't just enough to be

361
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: annoying quite frank, That's why I feel about I'm just

362
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm just perfectly the right amount to be annoying. That

363
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: sounds absolutely horrific to me. A wind driven mist that's

364
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: just enough to be annoying. That is the worst ever. Yeah,

365
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: this is like, uh, you know those days and I

366
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: and I and Steve might be in the same boat

367
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: on this, but I know I've talked to a lot

368
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: of players over the years and they said they would

369
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: rather have twenty eight degrees in snow than like forty

370
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: five and rain any day of the week, because this

371
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: is what chills you to the bone, even more than

372
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: a snowy day. Yeah, your your clothes and your uniform

373
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: and your socks and everything, they start to get heavy,

374
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: the balls change. When it's cold cold, everything stays dry

375
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: at least, you know, um, you can deal with that.

376
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: But this is yeah, it's the worst ever scenario. When

377
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: it's just above freezing and wet. It's just that's horrific. Hey,

378
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: Chris sum, I'm wondering why the decision to go outdoors

379
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking has something to do with just saving the

380
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: legs a little bit. Right, they were indoors on the right,

381
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: they're indoors yesterday, right, Yeah, And so you gotta go outdoors.

382
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: You can't work on that hard surface day after day,

383
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: at least not this time of year. Right. Yeah, it's

384
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: been Coach's philosophy ever since he's been here. Anytime they

385
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: can practice on grass, he wants him on grass. He

386
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: just does not like the pounding on the joints that

387
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: the turf does to players bodies. Even you know, the

388
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: most modern of turfs just has more of a wear

389
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: and tear on the joints than the grass does. And

390
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: the turf in the fieldhouse has been replaced twice by

391
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: the Pagoulas since they've been owners, so it's not like

392
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: it's an old, worn down turf. But even the newest

393
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: and nicest turf just puts more wear and tear on

394
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: the bodies in the grass surface. So anytime you can

395
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: get them out here, he gets him out here. Yeah. Well,

396
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: what's it looked like today? I mean, is there anything

397
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: to report about lineups? There anything else going on out

398
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: there that's of interest? Well, I would say this the

399
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: good news at the linebacker position is Corey Thompson and

400
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: Matt Milano are back out here for a second straight day.

401
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: Granted they were limited yesterday. We'll find out whether they

402
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: are limited again today. I talked to Corey Thompson in

403
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: the locker room yesterday because he's coming off that ankle

404
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: scope that he had last month. Kind of a two

405
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: to four week timetable is the general prognosis for those

406
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: types of procedures. Again, every case is different. He told

407
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: me yesterday was the first time he really practiced hard

408
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: on it, like pushed it, tested it, and he was

409
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: anxious to test it again here today and hoping, you know,

410
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: he felt good enough to do that. You know, getting

411
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: out of bed this morning and seeing him out here

412
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: is certainly an encouraging sign, you know, when depending on

413
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: how much these two guys do today, I think will

414
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: largely determine whether they have one, none, or both of

415
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: them up for Sunday's game. Hey, Chris, I saw yesterday's

416
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: practice post practice report had John Brown listed as limited

417
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: as well with a groin Do we have to sweat

418
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: that one out until kickoff on Sunday? What do you think? Well,

419
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: he's dressed for practice today. So my guess is he'll

420
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: be limited again here today. There's no sense in overdoing it.

421
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: He's out here participating. He's probably though we don't get

422
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: to see it ourselves, he's probably getting team reps, you know,

423
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: so he's a part of the game plan. I just

424
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to push him, especially on a

425
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: wet field. So wouldn't surprise me if he's limited again today.

426
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: But we'll hear from coach after practice and maybe we

427
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: can get a sense from him as to whether he's

428
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: genuinely concerned about, you know, Brown's availability for Sunday. One

429
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: guy that raised some eyebrows when he cropped up on

430
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: the injury report was Josh Allen in his hand? Is

431
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: that anything to be concerned about? What can he tell

432
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: us about that? Yeah? I mean we haven't gotten any

433
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: updates on it, you know. Specifically, he's out here and

434
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: have shirt sleeves on, so I don't think it's really

435
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: affecting him. It doesn't look like he's got anything on

436
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: his hand, so at least from what I can tell,

437
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: he's totally fine. Isn't just throwing hand or his off

438
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: hasses with the quarterback that I don't know, And he's

439
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: got nothing wrapped up on either hand to give any

440
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: indication as to which it might be. He's just got

441
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: his play calling wristband on his left arm. There's nothing else,

442
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, tape, you know, a rap, nothing on either hand.

443
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: And Chris in a addition to the practice squad, a

444
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: familiar name, Ray Ray McLoud is back. Has he out

445
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: there today? Have you seen him? The return of Ray Ray. Yeah,

446
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: Jersey number fourteen is out here. He's running around with

447
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the guys. I'm sure you know, knowing

448
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: a lot of these players. He was welcome back with

449
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: open arms. So nice guy to have stashed on your

450
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: practice squad. Had kind of an up and down time

451
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: in Carolina, worked as a returner there for them, but

452
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: still had some ball security issues in his time with Carolina,

453
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: which I think is ultimately what led to his release.

454
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: So practice squad is a good place for him to

455
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: work on his game and try to develop better consistency

456
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: in that area and presumably in the receiving area too.

457
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: So if he wants to get a call up, he's

458
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: got to kind of put his nose to the grindstone here,

459
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: you know. I got to say and we've talked about

460
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: this with you, Chris, and you and I've talked about

461
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: see Ray Ray. I think I think Sean McDermott has

462
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: kind of a soft spot for Ray Ray McCloud. They

463
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: want him to succeed. I know, right about a year ago,

464
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: they were concerned a little bit about his attention to detail,

465
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: and I think they want to help to continue. They

466
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: invested a sixth round picking him. They want to continue

467
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: to help him become an NFL player, which is probably,

468
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: as you said, the practice squad might be the perfect

469
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: spot form right now. Yeah, And I mean I remember

470
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: talking to him in the summertime and he said, you know,

471
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: I when I went home last summer and I hung

472
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: around my family and he's got siblings, work in the

473
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: nine to five thing, and you know, he's a he's

474
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: got a two parents that work really hard. And he said,

475
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: just being around them in the summertime, you know, I

476
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: was committed to really kind of improve my work ethic

477
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: and really focus on the things that I need to

478
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: focus on. And unfortunately that didn't really materialize in terms

479
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: of the consistency of his game, and he got and

480
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: for a player who is in terms of skill set

481
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: very much like Isaiah Mackenzie. There became this competition and

482
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: it was pretty evident to me, as you know, they

483
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: were getting down to roster decision time that those two

484
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: guys were kind of in the same type of boat

485
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: and whoever made more plays through the course of the

486
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: preseason was going to probably be the guy on the roster,

487
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: and Mackenzie clearly won that battle. What is the wide

488
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: receiver gonna look like? Wide receiver position gonna look like

489
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: on game day? If John Brown is out with a groin.

490
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm not anticipating that, but you know, the guy that

491
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: lines up in his spot behind him is Robert Foster.

492
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: So I would expect Foster to not only be in

493
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: the lineup, but be a big part of the game

494
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: plan if John Brown is not available. But I don't

495
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: think we're getting any indication that that's going to be

496
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: the case. But obviously, when we get a chance to

497
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: talk to coach after practice today, maybe we can get

498
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: a little more detail on, you know, just how serious

499
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: or if it's a minor thing, just a little nagging thing,

500
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: or maybe it just cropped up. Hopefully we can get

501
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: some detail on it. Talking with Chris Brown, he's on

502
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: the sidelines of the Bills practice the Thursday practice getting

503
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: set for the Dolphins game on Sunday. Hey, Chris, let

504
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: me get you involved in our Twitter poll because it

505
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: deals with Sunday's game a little bit and expectations for

506
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: the Bills. And let me start out by saying, we're

507
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: not putting this one in the w column yet, And

508
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to think that we assume a

509
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: victory for the Bills here, But our question is, along

510
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: with the Bills win, what do you want to see

511
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: Sunday against the do And we offered a couple of

512
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: suggestions on the Twitter poll. Motor Devin Singletary sparks, the

513
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: rushing offense Josh Allen and the passing game continues to improve,

514
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: or the defense gets more sacks and turnovers. They might

515
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: be able to do all three against his Miami Dolphins team.

516
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: But what do you think it would look the best

517
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: for the Bills this Sunday. I would like to see

518
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: the diversification of the run game a little bit. Frank's

519
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: been carrying the load. I'd like to see Devin kind

520
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: of add an extra element to the run game because

521
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: I think it diversifies not only the run game, but

522
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: the offense as a whole. Now you've got more things

523
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: to worry about. Frank is largely an in between the

524
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: tackles runner, and not to say that Devin can't do that,

525
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: but Devin can get out in space, and even though

526
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: he's not a burner, he's so elusive that I think

527
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: it gives the defense more responsibilities. In other words, there's

528
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: more of the field that they're going to have to

529
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: cover in the run game, you know, if he's in

530
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: the line up and getting the ball from time to time.

531
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: And he's pretty good as a receiver out of the

532
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: backfield too, So I just think it's another thing for

533
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: the opposing defense to worry about. I'm not convinced that

534
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: the Bills defense is going to get more sacks on Sunday.

535
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: Maybe some picks because we know Fits is prone to

536
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: throw a few of those and take some chances, but

537
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: he gets the ball out so darn quick. I don't

538
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: know if the Bills are going to be able to

539
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: get home there. Yeah, what do you think the situation is?

540
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: We were just talking about this brownie where they may

541
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: not know what they've got offensively with Devin Singletary out

542
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: of the lineup for four games, Tyler Croft hasn't been

543
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: able to contribute. Now they've got Duke Williams plugged in

544
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: and from last year this time, they got nine new

545
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: guys on the offensive side of the football starting. So

546
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: how long do you think it'll take him before they

547
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: know everything they can do and who they can depend

548
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: on week to week. Well, I mean it's going to

549
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: largely depend on whether some of those guys that are

550
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: coming back to the lineup can stay on the field

551
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: and stay healthy. I think Duke is an emerging talent

552
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: that I think they're curious to see how much more

553
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: he can do in the scope of his offense. I

554
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: think Tyler Croft is on track to finally make his

555
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Bill's debut, as you know, set the foot on a

556
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: game field yet because injuries keep cropping up. But this

557
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: is a player who can be a dynamic weapon in

558
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: the passing game, particularly in the red zone, another huge

559
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: target for Josh Allen to exploit. And then Devin Singletary,

560
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: as we mentioned you know in a not too distant future,

561
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: is probably going to be an every down back. So

562
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: those are three pretty good elements you're adding to an

563
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: offense here, and That's why when we were talking about

564
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: that trade discussion earlier in the week on your show, guys,

565
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: to me, I kind of looked at this almost similar

566
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: not to jump sports here, but everybody was panning the

567
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: Yankees for, you know, not mortgaging the future and making

568
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: a trade for a starting pitcher when they were getting

569
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: players back, like you know, Severino is starter and some

570
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: other guys coming back to the lineup. Healthy. Bills are

571
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: kind of in a similar boat here. They've got single

572
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: Terry coming back healthy, you got Croft coming back healthy.

573
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: Those are two potentially dynamic weapons to add to your

574
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: offense that has been doing good in a lot of categories.

575
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: Though I know they do want to score more points

576
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: than eighteen a game. Chris, I know you will not

577
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: be surprised. I'm sure you know this, but I think

578
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: many Bills fans would be surprised to hear that the

579
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: Bills are the tenth ranked offense in the NFL right now,

580
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: and yet there's a feeling among fans and even among

581
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: the Bills themselves that they can do more, they can

582
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: do better. Sean McDermott talking about it, we need more points.

583
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you think's going on there,

584
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: And why do they not have the scoring to go

585
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: along with their tenth franking offensive production in terms of

586
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: yards game Because I don't think they've been able to

587
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: consistently get out of their own way. When they're able

588
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: to stay, when they're able to stay penalty free, they

589
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: drive the field. I mean we talked about it the

590
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: other day. Eight to their nine touchdown drives here have

591
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: gone for seventy year more yards this season. If you

592
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: look at those drives to a great degree, they haven't

593
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: really had one or two penalties on any of those

594
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: touchdown drives. So when they stay out of their own

595
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: way and when Josh takes care of the football, I mean,

596
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Josh gave you the stat himself. He's eight and one

597
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: as a starter when they have one turnover or less.

598
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: So if they don't turn the ball over and don't

599
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: commit pre snap penalties, and oh, by the way, they're

600
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: in the top three in the league in pre snap

601
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: penalties on offense. So if they can just get out

602
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: of their own way and not turn the football over,

603
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: I think that production will rise because they've shown when

604
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: they can stay error free, they can move the ball

605
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: and score points. It's essentially what John Policiano said to

606
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: us yesterday here right, Yeah, I mean you're right. If

607
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: they don't turn it over and don't take penalties, there's

608
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: no stopping them. Yeah, there's no stopping them. Let's see,

609
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: we'll see Chris snakes for this. Stay dry, don't stay

610
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: out there all day. Yeah, I don't plan to. Chris

611
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: is gonna get jagged off from the field like everybody

612
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: else in a few minutes. Thank you, Chris. Chris Brown

613
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: builds outsider Buffalo Bills dot Com on the sidelines at

614
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. And now we'll save it until after them. Oh,

615
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: we don't have time. All right. Here's the thing, this game.

616
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm thinking about this game right now?

617
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: You got Devin Single, Terry coming back, Frank Gore, you

618
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: got Snores Perry you just signed, and he got t J.

619
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: Yelden on the Rocks. Just shot Tyler Croft too. You

620
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 1: got a defense in Miami that is porous, dead dead

621
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: last in the league. Both run past they I mean,

622
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: they can't do anything. So I think this is a

623
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: coaching staff. And if you're looking for a team like

624
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: the Bills, who are trying to be that type of

625
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: offense where they could run one week and do it

626
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: that week, or throw it the next week and do

627
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: all that. I think this is a game that screams

628
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: complimentary football. Forget the pre snap penalties. Just line up,

629
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: hand the football off and run it down their throat

630
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: and dare him to score on you. Yeah, take it

631
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: and go the distance. Throw when you have to, but

632
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: run the football this week, don't turn it over, don't

633
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: take any chances, and just grind out a win. I

634
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: think that's what screams to me. Yeah, I was thinking least.

635
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: I think I told you. I watched Dolphins versus Ravens

636
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: last night, the opening day, and I watched the Redskins

637
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: game the other day, and then watched Dolphins versus Ravens,

638
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: and it's it's almost alarming how poor the Ravens scored

639
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: on the first four or five possessions. And I mean

640
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: they would just knife they want, They did whatever they

641
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: wanted to. Yeah, Fitz, there was an interception on his

642
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: first pass and it got worse from there. It was awful.

643
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: The game was over within minutes um And that team

644
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: is only you know, five weeks ago for Miami, right

645
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 1: that could that kind of production could happen again? They

646
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: started to get it together. Now they're starting, they're closing

647
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: the gap. And the win they they lost by a

648
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: point this last week, bad to a bad Washington team,

649
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: But they have you know, they have started to score

650
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: some points and then put the lid on the with

651
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: a defense a little bit. But by the same token,

652
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: that was an alarming start to the season for them,

653
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: and they I don't know how much it is that

654
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: they're getting it together, which is a little bit of

655
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: another team's coming in there knowing that if they play

656
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: it close to the vest, the Dolphins are gonna have

657
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: hard time scoring on them. I believe that too. All Right,

658
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk more about this game. We'll talk more

659
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: with you. And by the way, no sympathy for the Dolphins, right,

660
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: no matter how bad they look, I will not be sympathized.

661
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: Why would I sympathize We're getting there's no reason. There's

662
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: no reason they beat the Bills twenty straight time, gat

663
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: him six thousand. Steve Christie standing by to join us

664

Speaker 1: short time to get there. It is One Bill's Live,

Speaker 1: Steve Task up here in Buffalo. Thanks coming on my pleasure.

684
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing? Doing great? How you hack us?

685
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: It's great to hear your voice here. We were just

686
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: up here for legends weekend. It was a great touching

687
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: base with you. Now you get to come back again.

688
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: How is this weekend going to be different from the

689
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: one you were just up at? Well, I think, you know,

690
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: kind of being in that cancer survivor group is special

691
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: to come back. You know, it's us. It'll be five

692
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: years come November twentieth, where I you know, I was

693
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: cancer free or everything sort of was clear back then.

694
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, you know, you kind of deal

695
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: with it. And and we've been trying to help a

696
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: lot of other people, a lot of friends of ours

697
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: that have been diagnosed, and I think that's been very

698
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: important for my wife Kelly and I to do so

699
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: and to help people that have gone through similar situations

700
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: then that I have. But also, at the end of

701
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: the day, it's um. You know that the struggle is individual,

702
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: and uh, we're firm believers that you know, it's the

703
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: struggle is um it's real. But you know, whatever works

704
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: for you, however, however you want to beat the beast.

705
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: You know that that's the most important thing. The interesting

706
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: part about you're about with cancer was that you got

707
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: it early in life. You were forty six when you

708
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: were diagnosed, and and I was told murf earlier. Most

709
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: people they don't even get checked until they're fifty. Yeah,

710
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: so you were fortunate on a number of ways, right, Yeah,

711
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: And I think and I think the big message here

712
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: is that if you think something's wrong, or if you

713
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: suspect that there's something not quite right, you may not

714
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: want to wait until the conventional um, you know, the

715
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: guidelines and say hey, get check to fifty, you know,

716
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: get in there something's wrong. To get there. I delayed

717
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: quite to be quite honest, I kind of delay getting checked.

718
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was much and then you know, unfortunately,

719
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. And although

720
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of a personal thing, um, you know, the

721
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: message here is to go and get checked. If you

722
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: suspect that there's anything wrong at all, get out there

723
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: and get it done. It's better to be safe than story.

724
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: And in fact, a couple of my buddies have gone

725
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: in and they've had to get some work done. So

726
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: I think it's good to, you know, once you get

727
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: past a certain age, like all right, a j guys,

728
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: it's good to get in there. Check. I've been in

729
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: there twice and ask me too. Yeah, it seems so.

730
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: You mentioned halftime the crucial catch survivors, you'll be down

731
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: there on the field, and what kind of a bond

732
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: will you have with those people with various, uh, you know,

733
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: cancer survivors, various kinds of cancer. What do you think

734
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: the bond in that group might be. Well, I think

735
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: the bond is um, you know, having to go through

736
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: treatment and in some cases surgeries. My case, I had too,

737
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: but you know, it's getting through the treatment, getting through

738
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, the pain, the discomfort, and then I think

739
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: the bond that we all have is as survivors is

740
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: I think we really appreciate everyone that helped us along

741
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: the way, from surgeons, to our families, to our kids,

742
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: to you know, everybody that that ships in to help

743
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: you get through it. And at the end of the day,

744
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think we're all very very thankful to

745
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: still be here. And that's certainly obviously that's the ultimate bond,

746
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: is that we're able to represent on the field for

747
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: so many others. I've got to ask you as well, everybody,

748
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: I say everybody, but everybody really has somebody they know

749
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: who has been stricken with cancer. And I want to

750
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: ask you what you're like life. Like now that you're

751
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: you've been said cancer free, is it different? Is it

752
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: you know? How has it changed you? It's been different

753
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: for me. My mornings can be a bit tough, but

754
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, I have a schedule, I have a routine.

755
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: I take my meds and uh, you know, I get

756
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: I get things going in the afternoon and at night.

757
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: And I'm now a volunteer volunteer head are special team's

758
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: coach over at the high school, my daughter's high school,

759
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: and it's nice to be able to get out and

760
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: help the kickers and punters and the long snappers. You know,

761
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people help me. And uh, you know,

762
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: when I started feeling better, I felt give us a

763
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: good opportunity to go back and help some other guys out.

764
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: And I think that's at the end of the day.

765
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: When you go through a struggle like that, you kind

766
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: of you put things in priority and you start changing

767
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: what's important in your life. And one of the things

768
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: that I kind of hit me over the head was,

769
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: you know what, it's time to give a bit more back.

770
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: And so this year has been my first year back coaching,

771
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: and I find it really gratifying. I'm really glad to

772
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: hear and I speaking of coaching kick because I got

773
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: to ask you this, There's been this big thing going

774
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: on in the NFL. Like with Chicago last year, they

775
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: spent the entire this last offseason searching for a kicker.

776
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: We've had kickers miss kicks. The extra point is way

777
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: different than it was when you and I were in

778
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: the league. Do you have a philosophy or do you

779
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: have some observations about how coaches are handling kickers in

780
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: this climate in the NFL. Is it different, is it

781
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: the same or what would you do different? Well, I

782
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: think what the first thing I do is bring Steve

783
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: Tasker back is one of the best ever. He helped

784
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: me out immensely time and time again, time and time again.

785
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: I think it was our Wednesday I think it was

786
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: our Wednesday pub visits that did it. Well, that's definitely

787
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: part of it. It's all about camarad camaraderie, you know.

788
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: I think though the new pat rule has really changed

789
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: things for the guys. You know, at the end of

790
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: the day, it's not that far of a kick, but

791
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: I think mentally the extra point being so far back

792
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: it is getting into some heads. But at the end

793
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, it's you know, you guys

794
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: play golf, and it's you know what you want to

795
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: keep the same swing, keep your head down, follow through,

796
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: and and you know, do your job. Get out there

797
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: and don't be distracted by everything else. And anytime you

798
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to win the game, that's what you want.

799
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: Get out there and finish it for your team. That's

800
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: what that's why we get paid to do what we do.

801
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, get out there and do your job. Steve,

802
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: you spent fifteen years kicking in the NFL, and I

803
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: wondered during that time how much time you spent thinking

804
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: about kickoffs, maybe worrying about kickoffs. They've essentially taken, it seems,

805
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: taken a lot of kickoff strategy out of the game. Now. Yeah,

806
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: back then, I when I came to the league, we

807
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: kicked off from the thirty five or the three inch

808
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: tea was pretty easy to get the ball up in

809
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: the air. And then part way through my career they

810
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: dropped it down to a one inch tea back to

811
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: sup five yards and all of a sudden, the kickoff was,

812
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, a big part of the game. But now,

813
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: of course, with the injuries and everything, else that has happened. Yeah,

814
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: they have taken a lot of that out of the

815
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: game for safety, and quite frankly, I am kind of

816
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: for it because even Bruce to Haven or old Speff

817
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: teams coach, would say, if you want to go it

818
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: down and hit somebody, kickoff is what you do because

819
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: there's no other I mean, there's there's a lot of

820
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: big hits, as we saw Steve do many on punt coverage,

821
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: but kickoff coverage is one of those plays where everyone

822
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: is running full steam at one another. And yeah, yeah,

823
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean I agree with the changes, although it does

824
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: take a lot of the kickoffs out of it. Well,

825
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: one of the things that came up on those kickoffs was,

826
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: you know you've got guys running down the field, guys retreating,

827
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: then turn around and taking guy on, and nobody's trying

828
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: to avoid contact. And I mean that the object of

829
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: the exercise is to blow each other up, and you know,

830
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: it's pretty dangerous at times, and you kick the concussions

831
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: are way down now. They stopped letting guys have wedges

832
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: and I you know, I used to fly into wedges,

833
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, four guys and three hundred pounders and you know,

834
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: you kind of fly in there and just you know,

835
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bug on the windshield at times.

836
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: But it was just part of the game. And now

837
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: with the kickoff, I think it's almost you can speak

838
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: to this, Steve. You may go in and kick if

839
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: you have score thirty five points, you'll kick off once

840
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game or once at halftime,

841
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: and then five more kickoffs for touchdowns you may only

842
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: have to cover one, and then it becomes problematic that

843
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: you don't get much practice at it. Yeah, that's true.

844
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and and the thing is with

845
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: our with our kickers in Buffalo with Houska and and

846
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: before that with Carpenter and the guys that we've had

847
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: in and out of there. I mean, you're right, start

848
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: kicking off for touchbacks every time everyone expects it, and

849
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: then lo and behold you get somebody back there, like

850
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: you know, Dion Sanders or mel Gray. Back in the day,

851
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: they would take it at eight yards deep in the

852
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: end zone and bring it out and everyone's kind of

853
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: caught on their heels, flat footed. Yea, and they all

854
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: speed we do now I don't even know. I don't

855
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 1: know where my lane is because We've been hitting touchbacks

856
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: all day and that's true, and I think but as

857
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: as we know, as the weather goes on in Buffalo,

858
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: touchbacks will become fewer and fewer for both teams. And

859
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: that's when you know our coverage team has to be sharp.

860
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: Steve Christy, our guests coming back for the Bill's Dolphins game,

861
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: and I read where you're doing a little what volunteer

862
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: coaching of your own down in Florida these days? Steve?

863
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? Just kickers and punters and long

864
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: snappers and working young guys through and changing a few

865
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: things here and there. But I think at the end

866
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: of the day, if I see improvement with these guys,

867
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: then then I've personally accomplished something. And like I said before,

868
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: it's all about giving something back. How individual is kicking, Steve?

869
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it just a talent you have? Is

870
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: mental or is it just technique? I'm finding that I

871
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: can teach guys the basics, A lot of guys can,

872
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 1: but you have to have a mental edge of value.

873
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: If you miss a kick or swipe it a punt,

874
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: you have to be able to go back on the

875
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: field and do it again and do it right. You

876
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: have to be resilient, you have to be thin skinned,

877
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: and you have to have a short memory, kind of

878
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: like your corner. You know, if you get beat on

879
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: a long route, you're gonna have to forget about and

880
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: cover that guy again. Same with kicking or punting. You

881
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: miss a field goal, you have to go back in

882
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: there and do it again. Short memory, And like I

883
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: said before, I go about your business and get it done.

884
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: Last thing I have for you here, Steven, help us

885
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: out here a little bit. We've got bills long snapper.

886
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,959
Speaker 1: Read Ferguson on the show with us after practice today?

887
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: What's the best? Steve and I were saying, what do

888
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: we ask the long snapper? Help us out? What should

889
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: we ask a professional NFL long snapper. It's a tough one. Well,

890
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think a lot of it. I mean,

891
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: the long snapping thing in the NFL. The guys are

892
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: so good and it's uh out. Now I'm working with

893
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: the high school kids. I see the difference. They can

894
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: they can control the rotation of the football so that

895
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: the holder actually catches the laces in a certain spot

896
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: in his hand and it is easily able to put

897
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: the ball down most times. And I think That's what

898
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: I would ask a long snap in the NFL, is

899
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: how do you get that rotation every time? Because that's

900
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: a huge part because as we know, the get off

901
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: time is you know, anywhere from well, in our case,

902
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: one one point one nine seconds to one point three

903
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: depending on what we're doing. But at the end of

904
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: the day, it all starts with the snap. And like

905
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 1: I said, these guys are so good that the rotation

906
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: is right there, holder grabs it, puts it down, and

907
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: all that's left to do is make the field goals.

908
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: It's true, man, it's hard to get it if the

909
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: if the holder has to spin the ball, it was

910
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: a bad snap. I mean, that's how that's the margin

911
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: of air for the snappers, and they have most of

912
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: them get it right every time. And as you know,

913
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got guys up the middle that are

914
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: six five, six seven and athletic guys, and you know

915
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: you really can't air on the side of being too slow.

916
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: The trajectory is the first issue, and then of course

917
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: accuracy and making the kick after that. But that's why

918
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 1: you know a lot of teams put in offense and defense.

919
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: But Marv Levy was also it was always huge on

920
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: getting the third element in their getting special teams done,

921
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: because it affects your scoring and your fuel position and

922
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: if you're if your special teams are tight and they're

923
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: ready to go, it is a real advantage in some games.

924
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: Great thanks for coming on, Steve. Great question for read first,

944
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: a little weird. Thurman and I were laughing a little bit.

945
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: It's a little different now than it was, you know

946
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: when we were playing when Dan Marino was with the

947
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Don Shula and those guys were down there,

948
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: and you know, of course Jim and Thurmand. But for

949
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: guys like us, it still holds the same weight, I

950
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: would think this game, and I think for the old

951
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: guys down in Miami it does too. You kind of

952
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: remember those those those games as being because they, you know,

953
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: at that point when the in the history of the league,

954
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: Dolphins and the Bills were the two top teams in

955
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: the AFC East. Yeah, Dolphins have a great broadcast crew.

956
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite guys with great history in this

957
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: rivalry and in the NFL played by play guy is Um.

958
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: I can picture him too. Joe Joe Rose is the

959
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: color man. Bob Greasy is the other color man right,

960
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: and Penn State guy Cephalo Jimmy is the play by

961
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: play guy. All of them. You talk about guys who

962
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: have a memory of the history and this. All of

963
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: them have memorable games that they played in that stadium

964
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: right next door here, you know, and they'll talk about

965
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: a Sunday pregame. Yeah they Uh, it's a it's a

966
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: fifty year conversation between the Dolphins and the Bills. Yeah,

967
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: and it has not been It's an argument, you know,

968
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: in this face. It's been an argument over the years.

969
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: And and I you know, he Marv used to tell

970
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: us listen, and that's what he kind of the terms

971
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: he used. He says, listen, you're gonna make what you

972
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: do speak so loudly nobody cares what you're saying, you know,

973
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: and that's what you wanted to do. Yeah, we were

974
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: in the conversation and it was an ongoing one. You

975
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna you're gonna get two shots at

976
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 1: it every year. You knew they had a really good team.

977
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: And there was always this chip on our shoulder here

978
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: in Buffalo about how people in Miami looked down their

979
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: noses at our town, in our city, and the size

980
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: of our city and the weather and all that, and

981
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: and we were okay with it. You know. We we

982
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: liked having a family atmosphere in a college town atmosphere

983
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: and a town where people knew us by name and

984
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: called us by name. Uh. And it wasn't glitzy and

985
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: superficial like it was in Miami, you know, the stereotypical

986
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: Miami kind of you know, characterization. So we liked it

987
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: that way, and we liked being on this side of

988
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: the argument, and it was it's just a fun game,

989
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: fun game, you know, who else says some history here?

990
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: Of course. Ryan Fitzpatrick named as the starter yesterday by

991
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. He'll start Sunday's game against the Bills here

992
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: in Rshire Park. And after practice yesterday and Fitzpatrick met

993
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: with the media in Miami and talked about getting the

994
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: designation as the Dolphins starter this Sunday. I'm excited. And

995
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, I told you guys earlier, I just enjoy

996
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: playing football, So I like being out there. It's a

997
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: lot more fun for me, you know, whether it's throughout

998
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: the week or on Sunday in the game, to be

999
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: out there and be playing and um, you know, preparation.

1000
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: It's a lot more more fun when you're the guy,

1001
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: So I'll be a lot happier day to day. And

1002
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: knowing that, you know, I'll be out there and just

1003
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: try to go out there and be myself. Oh it's

1004
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: it's easy for me to pick out my old neighbors

1005
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 1: when they wear my jersey, you know, because that's about

1006
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: it's either family or old neighbors or something. But uh, yeah,

1007
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: it's you know, it is it is fun, you know,

1008
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: it is. It is fun to go and play in

1009
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: a game like this that is going to be in

1010
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: a great environment. Um, you know, this one is unique

1011
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: and that you know, you have all these new stadiums

1012
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: that are enormous and it's almost like the game is

1013
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: secondary to some of the other stuff going on. But

1014
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: but in Buffalo, it is all about the game, it is,

1015
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, the fans are so into it and after

1016
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 1: the tailgating of course, but that you just as an opponent,

1017
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: you enjoy going in there and getting that feeling as well.

1018
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: Another reason why I love him. He gets us, He

1019
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: gets us, He gets his place right, Yeah, he does,

1020
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: he gets it. He knows what he's walking into Sunday

1021
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: and it might be a reason why he's the starter

1022
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: named the starter on something. I think there's a lot

1023
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: of that in there. Yeah, not only the situation in

1024
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: Miami where there I think there's a strong sentiment that

1025
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: if they wanted to win a game, he's the guy

1026
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: in there, not Josh Rosen. But I also think that

1027
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: there's also a level of the Dolphins knowing they want

1028
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: they've got eleven games to look at Josh Rosen, or

1029
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: ten games after this weekend. They're going against maybe the

1030
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: top defense in the National Football League if they want

1031
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: to have a reason or the ability to put him

1032
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: out there after this, because there's a strong possibility if

1033
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen started this game, people would put the nail

1034
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: in his carm, like he'll never be able to play

1035
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: against it if he plays like that right against this defense.

1036
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: So they want to evaluate it for ten games. They

1037
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: don't want him to have his season ended this Sunday.

1038
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of that in there. Yeah. And

1039
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they would or he's you know,

1040
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: he's a bad quarterback. I'm not sitting about Josh Rosen,

1041
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:23,439
Speaker 1: but I think it is a little bit about Josh

1042
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: Rosen for the Dolphins They don't want him to go

1043
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,959
Speaker 1: out there and have an end before they get before

1044
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: they get to the mid season point. Um fits. It

1045
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: looks funny in the Dolphins, but you know, this is

1046
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: the eighth different team eight. He is the only quarterback

1047
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: in NFL history to start games for eight different teams

1048
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: and throw a touchdown pass for eight different teams. And

1049
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: you can, you can, you can tell that story the

1050
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: rest of your life. If you write Fitzpatrick right, it's

1051
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: a great trivia question. And he can live on that.

1052
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: He can have dinner on that story. How tough is

1053
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 1: it gonna be to match that? Think about think about

1054
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: the career you have, the trajectory your career has to take.

1055
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: Nobody will get as many chances as him. That is

1056
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: the wildest roller coaster ride of a career you can

1057
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: ever imagine in the NFL. It's great, It is great.

1058
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: It makes a Sunday's game a lot more fun. We're

1059
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Sunday's game where we're gonna talk with

1060
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas when we returned as well. Come on back

1120
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: Sixteen and a half point almost seventeen point favorites over

1121
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins this Sunday. It's amazing, isn't a term. That's

1122
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: that is amazing. Sixteen and a half hasn't happened since

1123
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: ninety three, since ninety three. So what was the ports

1124
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: spread when the Patriots played the Dolphins. I don't know.

1125
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: They probably had some sixteen points. Well it was early

1126
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: in the season, really early, so nobody really knew, you know,

1127
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 1: but they don't. They got beat fifty nine to what ten? Yeah,

1128
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: it was off. I bought them and now they're now

1129
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 1: they're getting ready to try to trade their best running back.

1130
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's uh yeah, well you want to when

1131
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: you when you talk about the draft tank tank, Yeah,

1132
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: this is obviously a tank. Uh, to maybe get I

1133
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: don't know what quarterback would you take? They're talking about

1134
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: two and lost. The other day they were saying the

1135
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: Dolphins went for twa and one, right, Yeah, it's uh,

1136
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: have you ever been around a team that bad or

1137
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: been you You've You've played on some bill teams that

1138
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: were up and down, but not that bad, not that bad.

1139
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: I think I think the worst team that ever played

1140
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: on that I think it was six and ten. Yeah, yeah,

1141
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, but I mean that was kind of different.

1142
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: But at least the Dolphins were kind of you know,

1143
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 1: they were competitive back then all the years that we played,

1144
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 1: but I've never seen especially in this division, where you've

1145
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: had the Patriots been great for twenty years. Yeah, and

1146
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: still teams are still having figured out how to beat them. Yeah.

1147
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Dolphins figuring out that

1148
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: Fitz should be starting for him? I mean, that's they

1149
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: want to find out about Rosen. But I made the

1150
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: point that I think Fitz gives them the best chance

1151
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 1: to win. And on the other hand, and if you

1152
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: put best chance to lose, yeah, yeah, right right, fit

1153
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: a roll of the dice. But it could come up

1154
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: lucky sevens too, you know. I mean that's what scares

1155
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: me about that whole scenario. And if you're the Dolphins,

1156
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: if you put Rosen in against the Bill's defense the

1157
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: way it's been playing, people will say trade him now,

1158
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean get rid of you know what I mean.

1159
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: You might get a chance to see him the rest

1160
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah. I think it's a good move

1161
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: by the Dolphins. I mean, you always want the best

1162
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to win, and I think Fitz does at this

1163
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: point gives them the best opportunity to win because you know,

1164
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: one one thing he's gonna want to come here and

1165
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: play well. He's gonna want to come here and play

1166
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 1: well because he was here for a number of years

1167
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: and uh hey, look, I mean the guy's been with

1168
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: eight teams. He had a little bit success here. Uh

1169
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: you know when he gets hot apparently, Yeah, when he

1170
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: gets hot, you know he can he can throw the

1171
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: ball and put up some stats. But I think we

1172
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 1: all kind of figured out with Fits, he can do

1173
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: it for one, two, maybe two and a half quarters,

1174
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: and then he I think it kicks in that I'm

1175
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: damn Marino or somebody else and I'm gonna put this

1176
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: ball right between there, and that's where all the interception started.

1177
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: We just heard a week two against the Patriots, they

1178
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: were eighteen point five point underdogs, so they knew yeah,

1179
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: so they knew back. Yeah, but I do think Fits

1180
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: give them the best opportunity to win. Uh. You know

1181
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: Josh Rosan, you know he's been moved around him. He

1182
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: was in Arizona, they took the number one pick and

1183
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray now he's were with the Dolphins, so it's

1184
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: still time for him. This is only the second year.

1185
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah right, it's only his second year. So um, you

1186
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: know they're gonna have to get better as a team

1187
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: and as an organization, and hopefully he will be a

1188
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: part of that. Hey, we've been talking a lot this

1189
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,479
Speaker 1: week about motor Devin Singletary. It looks like he's ready

1190
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: to return to the lineup after his hamstring in Week

1191
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: two and he's had a little bit what one three

1192
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: games and a bye week off four weeks back. What

1193
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: do you think he might be able to bring to

1194
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: this offense. We saw a little bit of him in

1195
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: preseason in the first two games. What can Devin Singletary

1196
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: bring to this offense? Well, I think, you know, with

1197
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: his speed and with his elusiveness, I'd like to see

1198
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more him in a passing game. You know,

1199
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: we haven't really thrown to the running backs really this year.

1200
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I know t J. Yelden has a couple

1201
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: of catches, checkdown, a couple of checkdowns or whatever. But

1202
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Devin getting an opportunity to go

1203
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: one on one with a with a linebacker. Uh, you know,

1204
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: maybe in the flat, not something long or whatever. But uh,

1205
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: but you know, I think with that too, you know,

1206
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: you want to see what he does in the running

1207
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: game too. I mean, obviously he's uh, you know, he

1208
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: could be one of those guys that could be a third, first, second,

1209
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: and third down backs in the National Football League. So

1210
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking for just a little bit of everything. I mean,

1211
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: I want to see him play. Yeah, I think that's

1212
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: what everybody's wanting to see is because if he plays

1213
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: well and does the thing that he did in preseason,

1214
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: I know it's preseason to regular season, but he does, though,

1215
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: think it opens it up for everybody. Everybody. I was thinking,

1216
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: we said this earlier in the show, that you think,

1217
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: how are you gonna beat this Dolphin team? What's they're

1218
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: gonna take? Particularly with the Bill's defense, this game might

1219
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: scream to me like, hey, they're gonna just hand it

1220
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: off thirty five times forty times and just dare the

1221
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 1: Dolphins to beat them out, take a couple of field

1222
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: goals and just beare the Dolphins to score that, right,

1223
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: considering what the weather might be Sunday? Right? Yeah, So,

1224
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you got they just brought back to Norris Perry.

1225
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: They got Devin Singletary, Frank of course I want to

1226
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: ask you about Frank as well. Um, and then they

1227
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: got Tyler croft On. They got like four tight ends

1228
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: on the drop. I mean, they got all these offensive

1229
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: and just line up heavy and go. You know. I

1230
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: mean there might be a little bit of that attitude

1231
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: like and like we've seen New England do. If you

1232
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: want to be like they beat the best, beat like them,

1233
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: beat them the way it takes to beat him that Sunday,

1234
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: and it may be running the ball fifty times. Well,

1235
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: if that's what it's going to take in your sixteen

1236
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: in point and a half one underdog, Yeah, it has

1237
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: to start the first quarter, the first drive, the first

1238
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: player the game. This is the way it's going to

1239
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: be all game long. Strap it on, strap it off.

1240
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: But I mean, you live you look at their defense Miami,

1241
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: I can't even name one guy we number number thirty two.

1242
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they're lasting. They're lasting every much

1243
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: every category, right, So yeah, I mean the weather is

1244
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be not so good. So yeah, you you

1245
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: come out and man with Frank Gore right off the bat.

1246
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: I think, you know, then singletary or whatever and see

1247
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: how it goes. I mean, obviously they I think at

1248
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: this point, the way our defense is playing, Fitzpatrick won't

1249
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: have that type of game that he sometimes has, right,

1250
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,919
Speaker 1: But I just think our defense. He sometimes has the touchdowns. Yeah,

1251
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: five first half picks, either one, either one. But I

1252
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: think our defense is playing so well right now. I

1253
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: mean they're tough, they're tough, They're they're really tough. Devin

1254
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Thompson Studio, whether we are a week and a half,

1255
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: two weeks away from the trade deadline, and we did

1256
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: this Twitter poll the other day, therm oh, Okay, do

1257
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: the Bills need to make a trade before the deadline?

1258
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: And if so, what would they need? An offensive lineman,

1259
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, something else. I mean, do they need

1260
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: to make a deal. Do you think before the trade

1261
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: dead I don't know, you know what, every since McDermot

1262
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: and Brandon being got there, they've been doing I think

1263
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: everything exactly the way that they want to be wanted

1264
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: to be done. And at this point in time, they

1265
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: may feel like, you know what, we don't need anybody,

1266
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: We don't need anybody. But there's always a possibility that

1267
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: that something might happen a week or two before the

1268
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: deadline to trade deadline, you know, a player might get

1269
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: injured or whatever. And I'm sure like these guys have

1270
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: done throughout the process of the NFL Draft and everything

1271
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: like that they already know what they want to do.

1272
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: They're way ahead of the game. Yeah, I mean what

1273
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: could the Bills obviously use, I think right now to

1274
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: help there. I mean, Duke william just played his first

1275
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: game last a couple of weeks ago and played well.

1276
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: So the breaks on the wide receiver, right, you know,

1277
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: so in the singletary come out and have a great game.

1278
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: You got Craft coming back, you know him with Dawson Knox.

1279
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just there's talent all over the place

1280
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: that on the offensive side of the ball. So one

1281
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: of the places that you might think about could be

1282
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Yeah. And I'll tell you this too.

1283
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: How long we were saying there's nine new guys on

1284
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: this all right? How long you think, given your experience,

1285
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: how long is it gonna take for him to say, Okay,

1286
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: this is who we are, this is how we're gonna

1287
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: do it, this is where we're good, this is where

1288
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: we're bad. How long is it gonna take find take

1289
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: to find that out. I think they've already figured it out,

1290
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: do you think so? I think they've already figured it out.

1291
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: And I've said this before and I've said it and

1292
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. When coach McDermot got the job,

1293
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: he brought he brings in teachers, motivators, energy, type of

1294
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: guys and so when you're around that all the time

1295
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: for the last three years, that's what you're going to get.

1296
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: No matter what I think, I think they have figured

1297
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: it out. This is the type of team that we're

1298
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: going to be. I'm talking about like this though, I'm

1299
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: saying to say, this is what we have the guys

1300
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: to do on offense. I mean, I think they want

1301
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: they have this idea that they want to be a

1302
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: team that, like I said, can run the ball fifty times,

1303
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 1: or throw it fifty times, or use the short pass

1304
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: this week, throw it to the tight ends this week.

1305
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: Take this guy who beat this team last week, he's

1306
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: out of the game plan this week it's this other

1307
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: guy now, like you know, like you see something, it's

1308
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: all about matchups and it changes week to week. Well

1309
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: it changes just like I mean, I think we've seen

1310
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: that over the course of what fifteen years, the matchups

1311
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: that New England does. It's right, you know. I mean, well,

1312
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when when they signed the

1313
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: running back that was from here, umah, well he didn't

1314
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: play the first three games right exactly, So you know

1315
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: they're about matchups, and I think now you're starting to

1316
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: see it now with this football team. Man, it's gonna

1317
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: be a big game for for the motor, the motor,

1318
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: and we'll see fire up the motor. Hey, question for

1319
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: you when you played with the Dolphins was Stephen ROSSI owner?

1320
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Was that Hea? This relates to their I guess tank

1321
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: attempt this year. This was a totally different group when

1322
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: you were there. I mean, it's totally different group. I

1323
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: hate to see that happen in the NFL. Can I

1324
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: say that? I hate to see And I mentioned Steve,

1325
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Dolphins this week and looking at bad

1326
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: they are, And there was a little tiny bit of

1327
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: me thinking, oh, I feel bad for the Dolphins. Then

1328
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: I thought, no, I don't. They won twenty streight games

1329
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: against the Bills in the seventies. Don't feel bad for

1330
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: them at all. They're doing this deliberately. Yeah, they are.

1331
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's and it's um around it. It puts

1332
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: a bad taste in the whole organization, the whole league,

1333
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: and the fans down in Miami. You know, it's and

1334
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: and it's very obvious what they're doing very obvious. It's

1335
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: not like, you know, what's that mean in the locker

1336
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: room though, that that doesn't that doesn't fly in the

1337
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: locker room. That does not fly in the locker room.

1338
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: And nobody wants to hear it, right, nobody wants to

1339
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: hear it. That's where you get all you know you

1340
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: might from now all the way into the end of

1341
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: the season. There's gonna be a couple of blow ups

1342
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: in that locker room right here. There's going to be

1343
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: absolution one year in Miami, right yeah, And how did

1344

Speaker 1: this come about? That just a couple of weeks ago,

1345
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: I think it was, or maybe it was last year.

01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: for having me. Guys. He's been um, you know, in

1362
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: the family now for six years, six years now, yeah, crazy,

1363
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: crazy and um married to my niece Lauren, and he's

1364
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: been he's been great. You know. It took a lot

1365
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: of pressure off of me because I was the Hall

1366
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: of Fame running back in the family. And oh yeah,

1367
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: it was tough. Yeah, I mean, let's just do that.

1368
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: Let's just do the Hall of Fame running back. Yeah,

1369
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: which he took a lot of pressure off of me.

1370
01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: He's taking some beatings to people, brother for a gold medal,

1371
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: right though he's just got a gold jacket, not a

1372
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: gold medal. You know what's funny is when I met

1373
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: my wife Lauren, I didn't know that Uncle Thurm was

1374
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 1: a part of her family, right, And so I grew

1375
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: up watching Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly and the Bills

1376
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: of the nineties. Right, we called uncle thurma, he's Uncle

1377
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: thurs right. Everyone else he's Hall of Famer. For us,

1378
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: he's Uncle thurm um. And so it was pretty cool.

1379
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Like I was excited when we first met, when we

1380
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: first got a chance to go over his house and

1381
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: meet him and spend time with his family. This is school.

1382
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: We got to take a photo, and now we're just family.

1415
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:02,400

1416
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 1: him like, well, you know, maybe you don't notice it,

1417
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 1: but if you're a different kind of athlete than a wrestler,

1418
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: wrestlers kind of stand out. Yeah for sure in a

1419
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: in a group, absolutely, Well we've got big heads who

1420
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: were relatively short. Our ears are messed up, so yeah,

1421
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: we got some definitive charistic characteristics together with boot leather too. Yeah. Yeah,

1422
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: tell me about the Olympic experience. You went to two Olympics, right,

1423
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: You won the gold in London and then went back

1424
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: to Rio a couple of years ago. Yeah, And so

1425
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: the next Olympic Games is this upcoming summer, the summer

1426
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: of twenty and twenty. It starts in August, and they're

1427
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: in Tokyo, Japan, and I'm gonna try. So you have

1428
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: to make the team every single year. So unlike in

1429
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, where you have long term deals, each year

1430
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: for US is a renewal of our contracts, so we

1431
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: have to make the team again. The Olympic trials are

1432
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: in April. They're in State College, PA. And if I

1433
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: make the team there, I'll go on and compete at

1434
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: the Olympic Games. I'm thirty one years old, so you

1435
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: still can can pull this off, right, Yeah, yeah, I

1436
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: can still do it. I can still do it. Tell

1437
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: me about the the metal experience and twinning the gold

1438
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,839
Speaker 1: in London and standing down the podium the anthems. It's incredible.

1439
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: It's incredible, like it's it's really indescribable because you grow

1440
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: up watching the Olympic Games. Right every four years or so,

1441
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: we all surrounded our TVs and we sat on the

1442
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: couch and we watched the Olympic Games on NBC, and

1443
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: so the actual actually participate in it, and not only

1444
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: to compete there, but to win it was it was

1445
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. So I had my family in the stands

1446
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: or remember getting my medal placed around my neck. I'd

1447
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 1: never seen an Olympic gold medal and so I actually

1448
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: won it that day and so it was a pretty

1449
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: cool experience and I was happy about it. And now

1450
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: it's wrestling is kind of a different kind of sports.

1451
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: So you live and work in Lincoln, Nebraska, which because

1452
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: they've got a quality college program, and you got to

1453
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: I never thought about it, but you gotta have somebody

1454
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: to wrestle against every day for sure, to train so

1455
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: sure you have a list of guys that do that

1456
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: or yeah. So I'm a former corn Husker, go big read,

1457
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 1: and I spend my time in Lincoln, Nebraska, back and

1458
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: forth between there and the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

1459
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: And so we have what we called RTC, or Regional

1460
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: Training Center in conjunction with the college program there. We've

1461
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: got a top five nationally ranked wrestling team. And so

1462
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: I trained with a lot of the guys on the

1463
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: college team, and so it's cool. It's a good way

1464
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 1: for me to be there. I can help recruit some

1465
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: of the better guys that come to the university, and

1466
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: then we can help sharpen each other. So I hope

1467
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: those guys compete at the collegiate level. They helped me

1468
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: compete internationally. This is not your first experience with the Bills, right,

1469
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: You were at camp a couple of years ago, Yeah,

1470
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Twenty seventeen and mcdarmot's first year, right, Okay,

1471
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: yeahs first year and we made the playoffs that year,

1472
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: the first time since early two thousands we did. We

1473
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: made the playoffs. Now, I'm a big I'm a big

1474
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: Bills fan. Listen it was nothing that I did. I

1475
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: think that when you bring in a new coach that's hungry,

1476
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: it just generates a lot of momentum within a program

1477
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: and an organization. And so I think that Sean's did

1478
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: a tremendous job and I'm excited to have I remember

1479
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 1: a conversation when Sean got here. I was saying, Hey,

1480
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, my nephew was Jordan Burrows. He was like

1481
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: what what what say? Yeah? Who he was? Oh, yeah,

1482
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: he knew exactly who it was. I was like, he

1483
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: was like, I say, he wouldn't mind coming out to

1484
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,719
Speaker 1: camp or whatever. I set it all up and everything,

1485
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: and coach was like, yes, thank you so much. So yeah,

1486
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 1: it was it was cool. You showed us a lot

1487
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: of love. It was really cool. Yeah, you will speak.

1488
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: The players will be off the field there in the

1489
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: next fifteen minutes or so. What are you gonna say

1490
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: to this group and they come out? Just stay hungry.

1491
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: I think, just stay hungry. I think it's easy at

1492
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: this particular juncture of the season that you're four and

1493
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:20,919
Speaker 1: one right, you're rolling, you got a lot of momentum.

1494
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: You're like, man, we can settle here because we're doing

1495
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: really well. But I think still at this point in

1496
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: the season, you still have a lot left to do,

1497
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: a lot of tough games. Guys are gonna start giving

1498
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 1: me their best shot weekly because of the position of

1499
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 1: prominence that you're in. So just staying hungry, staying motivated,

1500
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: and knowing that we got bigger fish to fry than

1501
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: just being form just frying these fish on Sundays. Yeah,

1502
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: intended again Jordan, that folks who are interested in maybe

1503
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:48,840

1557
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: First call of the day at one thirty. Wow, thanks

1558
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 1: so much for taking my call. I really appreciate you.

1559
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: You know, we were talking about a couple of days

1560
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 1: ago about the draft, tick about Rady, and I left

1561
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 1: off by talking to Steve and I want to say

1562
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: this because it goes in with the Twitter poll. Steve,

1563
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I remember when you played and you you know, you

1564
01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: came in the Rady nine. We didn't know who you

1565
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: were to would be this outstanding defensive I mean this

1566
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 1: outstanding special team or flying out to this popping people.

1567
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: And then one day we found this guy in the

1568
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineup remember eighty nine, and the crowd was going

1569
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: crazy and we named the wiggle wiggle across the middle

1570
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: because before Julian Edelman, before Cole Beasley, you know, it

1571
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 1: was you you created that move of this wiggle wiggle

1572
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 1: across the middle, and every time you made a play

1573
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: it helped us out. But the reason why, as you know,

1574
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: we had James Lofton streaking down the sideline opened up

1575
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 1: everything in the middle for you and Andre. But saying that,

1576
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: going to this Twitter poll, looking at what we were

1577
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: speaking of and seeing that, you know, the Bills are

1578
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 1: holding the hole in path of not making a trade.

1579
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:40,640
Speaker 1: We get Robert Foster back, and I really believe in

1580
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:44,759
Speaker 1: this offensive lineup, come on Sunday, Robert Foster do whims

1581
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: and along with Cole Beasley, and I really believe John

1582
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: Brown's going to play. This is going to really help us.

1583
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, looking at this

1584
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: portion of it, you know, I really believe that offensively

1585
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: that if I'm looking at Brian Dable and we have

1586
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback coach named Ken Dorsey. Ken Dorsey was brought

1587
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 1: here to help Josh Shallon, I really believe if Brian

1588
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 1: Dave would go upstairs this is one game, just to

1589
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: see what's up there and calling from upstairs, I really

1590
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: believe we will being in a position that we can

1591
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and make plays and put John Salad in

1592
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: the right situations to make plays. But saying that, Steve,

1593
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 1: I just wondering, I'm gonna hang up and listen to

1594
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: the show. I'm happy Ray raised back, but as we

1595
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: always will, I laughed. I hung up the phone from you.

1596
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: We used to call you wiggle Wiggle across the middle,

1597
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you made the name for it before Julian

1598
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: Edelman or Cole Beasley. You were the one. And I

1599
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 1: really believe if Robert Robert Foster this week and get

1600
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: this offense going, stretch it down the field, we'll see

1601
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: co Cole Beasley and anybody else going across the middle

1602
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: and make it easy. I love both of you, guys.

1603
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,799
Speaker 1: I love it. Gr thanks to take him up. Anybody

1604
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: call you before. That's a first. That's a first. Any

1605
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on no on what he said or what we

1606
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: go across the middle? Yeah, I don't know. I get it.

1607
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,760
Speaker 1: He's right now. Offenses worked because they got a lot

1608
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:07,600
Speaker 1: of good guys on him. I mean, let's just face it,

1609
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: the more good guys you have, the better offense is

1610
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna be. James Lofton came to the Buffalo Bills in

1611
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: n late in nineteen eighty nine and was a catalyst

1612
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: for Andre Reid and that offense taking another step forward

1613
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 1: and getting going to four straight Super Bowls in the

1614
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: years that came. He came in the last four games

1615
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 1: I believe of eighty nine, and then when we hit

1616
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 1: the field running in ninety four straight Super Bowls, and

1617
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: James Lofton was a part of all four of them.

1618
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: So having a guy on the outside certainly helps everybody else,

1619
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: particularly if he's a threat to catch the football. And

1620
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: James Lofton came in with a really full bag of

1621
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: credentials as well. He was a great player when the

1622
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:49,599
Speaker 1: Bills got him, and he was accepted as such. So yeah,

1623
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: that does make a difference, no question about it. I

1624
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 1: don't I don't know how you know. I don't know

1625
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 1: about Brian Dable moving up into the booth, as Butch

1626
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 1: said alluded to, maybe that would change things. I don't know.

1627
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: I think if they thought it would be better, he

1628
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: would already be up there. But I think there's a

1629
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of offensive coordinators and play callers

1630
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: are on the field these days because in between because

1631
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 1: of what happens in between series, where they can sit down,

1632
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: talk to the guy, coach him up the tablets at

1633
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,879
Speaker 1: critical now look him in there and get some feedback

1634
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: that way. I think a lot of play callers like that.

1635
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: They think that's really important at this point in history,

1636
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:31,720
Speaker 1: and the tablets are important. I mean, you see it

1637
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: every team, not just the Bills. The coordinator or whoever

1638
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: it is, the coach will sit down with the quarterback

1639
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: and have the play you know, queued right up there

1640
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: on the tablet and say look at this. This is

1641
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to radio down and say hey, I'm

1642
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: that third down you should have done this, not this. No,

1643
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 1: they can walk over to him with the tablet and

1644
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 1: say look at this. Now. The tablets I'm talking about.

1645
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: The tablets don't show film, but they do show still

1646
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: pictures and this is what you're looking at pre snap,

1647
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: and this is the guy that you missed or this

1648
01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: is the guy that you want to look at when

1649
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: we call this formation and we're gonna here's what we're

1650
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: gonna do next series kind of thing. We're gonna get

1651
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 1: into this formation with put this guy here instead of

1652
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: this guy, and they're gonna show us this again, look

1653
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: right there and throw it to this guy and he

1654
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: does this. Do this, if they do that, do this,

1655
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, they walk through it like that and they

1656
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,680
Speaker 1: talk about the adjustments. And that's the kind of thing.

1657
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you in the in the current atmosphere

1658
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:27,759
Speaker 1: of the NFL, they are changing the game plan between

1659
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: every series they are saying, listen, here's what they're doing,

1660
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: so we're gonna do this, and whatever you practice during

1661
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: the week, you hopefully you'll have at your fingertips that

1662
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 1: adjustment where you can go out and say, okay, here's

1663
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 1: where we're here's how we're gonna do it now. And

1664
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: this series, they don't go in, they don't wait till

1665
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 1: halftime to go and say hey, A, B and C.

1666
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,559
Speaker 1: They do it on the fly as the game's taken

1667
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: place in between series and that's why play callers love

1668
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 1: being down there so they can do that without any mistakes.

1669
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: Call here from Paul in ken Moore or good afternoon, Paul,

1670
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Thank you for take by call.

1671
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: I'd like to know how ninety on the defense slops

1672
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: and isn't talked about much on the telecast. I don't know.

1673
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,639
Speaker 1: We talked about a lot on our radio broadcast on Sundays, Paul.

1674
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,799
Speaker 1: And he's playing well, um contract year, obviously extremely motivated.

1675
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 1: I think he's much more mature than he was a

1676
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when he arrived, and he's playing well.

1677
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,679
Speaker 1: He's an important part of their defensive line rotation. Shack

1678
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: Lawson no question about it. Yeah, and he's talking about

1679
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: he's he's flashed a little bit, he's in the rotation,

1680
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: he's Um. I think they're very I think they're happy

1681
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:43,720
Speaker 1: with the way he's playing. They didn't pick up his

1682
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: fifth year option. You remember a lot said about it.

1683
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:47,800
Speaker 1: I think too much is said about it. He's not

1684
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't drafted by this coaching staff. But I think

1685
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: they like what he's given them, and I think they've

1686
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: kept him very motivated, and he's very motivated to play well. Um.

1687
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 1: It's hard to get noticed on a defense that's playing

1688
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: so well everywhere, So that may be why he's not

1689
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: getting talked about on the telecast. Because there's a lot

1690
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: of guys out there that are playing extremely well. He's

1691
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: another one of them, and I think that's the reason.

1692
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: One more call this segment, we'll go to Vince in

1693
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: north Tonawanda. Hello, e Vince, go ahead, Hey guys, looking

1694
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 1: forward to Sunday's game. The one thing I did want

1695
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: to ask, with this trade deadline coming up, would that

1696
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,680
Speaker 1: help to be able to find out if there's a

1697
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: way we can do something about our punter situation. Well,

1698
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 1: I think the punters actually improved himself, and I think

1699
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: his Tennessee game was evidence of that. Corey bo Hark

1700
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: has he's he but Hark has issue. To me, Steve

1701
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 1: is inconsistency, and he had a really good, solid, consistent

1702
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: game against Tennessee last game out. So I would kind

1703
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: of sit and wait for that. And by the way,

1704
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: who's going to trade away their punter if they like

1705
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: him and he's doing good. Nobody's gonna trade away upon you.

1706
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: You don't need to trade punters. You's got too You're yeah,

1707
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: noways right, You're not gonna trade punters. If you want

1708
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: a new punter, you gotta go out and find one.

1709
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. You bring them in

1710
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays, you get a file on them. And I'm

1711
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 1: sure the Bills have a list of about three or

1712
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,759
Speaker 1: four or five maybe more guys that are available as punters,

1713
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: and they have a file on each one of them

1714
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 1: about their strengths and weaknesses, about why they're not punting

1715
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: in the league now. So the trade deadline and the

1716
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 1: punting issues of the Bills, I think are two separate

1717
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: issues that do not converge at any point. Hey, let's

1718
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: get some answers to our Twitter question from the tweet sheet.

1719
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: It is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1720
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills. You want to get

1721
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: it going? There? From Joseph, he says, along with a win,

1722
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: what I want to see from the Bills against the Dolphins.

1723
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: In addition to the passing game showing some improvement with

1724
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,560
Speaker 1: Alan hopefully finally connecting on a few deep balls, I

1725
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: would like to see a total team effort that demonstrates that,

1726
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: unlike past years, this year's Bills are indeed playoff contenders.

1727
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? Right? Where do you see that?

1728
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to see a total team effort. I

1729
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: don't know what that looks like. I mean, that's what

1730
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: we're asking. Effort's pretty solid yet to articulated. Yeah so

1731
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: from Manny, he also says, I choose other I want

1732
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: to see this team bury the Dolphins like they should

1733
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: every game. Even the Giants for the most part, have

1734
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 1: been close. Don't play to the level of the competition.

1735
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 1: The Bills should win by double digits, put up twenty

1736
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: four plus points and look good doing it. Bury them.

1737
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 1: What do you think of that? It's it's pro football burying.

1738
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: If they can't stop you. It's their problem. We're not. Yeah,

1739
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you can't stop the stand of the day,

1740
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: if you can do sure, if you can What did

1741
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: I see the other day? Fifty five percent? Maybe more

1742
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: I got I'll get it in the break. Most games,

1743
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:44,639
Speaker 1: like three quarters of games, there are seven points or less.

1744
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 1: Fifty seven games of this season fifty seven fifty seven

1745
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,799
Speaker 1: games title. I gotta look at this up because it's

1746
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 1: pretty high percentage. It might be percentage. Most games are

1747
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:55,640
Speaker 1: one score games. One score games. And the Bills have

1748
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: played and one for their five games, many of them

1749
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: one score games for them any way, one score games

1750
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 1: um or three of them right? Three? Four win? Yeah, yeah,

1751
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: most most games are closed in the NFL. When you

1752
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 1: say it's pro football, you think burying. If you can't sure.

1753
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: The point is in pro football it ain't too many people.

1754
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: You don't care who you're playing. You don't bury people

1755
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,879
Speaker 1: very often unless it's something quirky happens. Now. The Dolphins,

1756
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, of whatever percentage, the one score games are

1757
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: four Their five losses have been by way more than

1758
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: one possession, right, So they're contributing in a big way

1759
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 1: to it. They're the Outliers, by the way, exactly the

1760
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: top the Bills. Every game has been except for the

1761
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: Giant game has been within one score, even the game

1762
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: they lost. So the Bills and then we've heard it

1763
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: say it a couple of times, they're built for this.

1764
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: They're built for this complimentary football where you grind it

1765
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 1: out and you may only win by seven points, but

1766
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: it doesn't look that close. You know, you were in

1767
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 1: control of it. You got thirty two minutes of possession time,

1768
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: you got double the first down, so that the other

1769
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: team does. They've struggled to get field goals, let alone,

1770
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,960
Speaker 1: let alone touchdowns, And yeah, you can. You can go

1771
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 1: back to the Tennessee game. And I've heard some people

1772
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 1: out of Tennessee going, hey, if we if we make

1773
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:16,680
Speaker 1: those kicks, you don't win. I don't know. I don't know,

1774
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 1: because we had the ball going in and laid down

1775
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 1: on it in the last series. And if you and

1776
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: you were six points seven points, six points down, I

1777
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:29,679
Speaker 1: don't know what to seven points down, you know, that's

1778
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: a game the Bill still could win with that last

1779
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: possession that they drove it right down the field with

1780
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,799
Speaker 1: the run game. So it's a it's a league built

1781
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 1: on close games. The Bills have been in five of

1782
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: them so far, and they're four and one. They are

1783
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: built for this kind of thing. Here's the stat I

1784
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 1: was looking for league wide, and this came from the league.

1785
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 1: It's true. No other season in a hundred years of

1786
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: NFL history through six weeks, no other season has produced

1787
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 1: more games decided by seven or fewer points than this year.

1788
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: So far this year, fifty five and a half percent

1789
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:01,719
Speaker 1: fifty one of the Night two games have been decided

1790
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: by seven or fewer points, including nine of the fourteen

1791
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: games last week. This season also tied for the most

1792
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: one point games through week six since the merger nineteen

1793
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: seventy fifty five percent of games, more than half are

1794
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: decided by seven points or less. It is it's hard

1795
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 1: to win, yep, it's hard to win. One more from

1796
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet along with the win one he want

1797
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: to see from the Dolphins. Nick tweets this and I'd

1798
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: love to see Singletary make a solid contribution as well

1799
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 1: as Josh Allen throwing for at least three hundred yards

1800
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 1: and minimizing the mistakes and turnovers. I think the defense

1801
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: will be solid as long as Milana was back and

1802
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 1: keeping the run game for Squish the Fish in check.

1803
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: Josh's yet to throw for three hundred yards in his career,

1804
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: so that would be a first. But Singletary, to me,

1805
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 1: would be my answer to this question, this Twitter question

1806
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: because Nick says solid contribution, I'm down with that. I

1807
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:51,799
Speaker 1: want to find out what his role is more than anything.

1808
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: I want. You know, ten carries doesn't seem like enough

1809
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 1: through two games for Devin's singletary, does it. I think

1810
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: there's more that he can give this offense. And remember

1811
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 1: this is his first two games as a pro. I

1812
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 1: mean it's weeks one and two as they were just

1813
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,479
Speaker 1: finding out about him, making kind of easing him in.

1814
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure it would have evolved further or differently, but

1815
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you're gonna see them use

1816
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary like they're using Frank Gore. I think they're

1817
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: gonna use him much differently than they use Frank Gore.

1818
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 1: I think Frank Frank Gore's are running back between the tackles,

1819
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 1: and I think t J. Yelden is a receiving, a

1820
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 1: big but receiving kind of running back out of the

1821
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 1: backfield as an outlet. That kind of thing. I think

1822
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary does all of that stuff. And I think

1823
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: the perfect scenario for Devin Singletary would be one week

1824
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,719
Speaker 1: they hand him the football in the run game fifteen times,

1825
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 1: and the next week they only hand it to him twice,

1826
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: but they throw it to him fifteen times. I think

1827
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 1: he's got that versatility where depending on what defense you're facing,

1828
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 1: you can ask him to do a myriad of different

1829
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: things that put that defense in a bind. I think

1830
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: that's how Devin Singletary is going to contribute. This week's

1831
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: game is sponsored by Great Lakes Cancer Care. Together We're

1832
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 1: Bigger than Cancer. Steve and I am more to talk

1833
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 1: about of this game. We got the guests coming up

1834
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 1: after practice ends as well. Come on back One Bill's Live,

1835
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health from the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park.

1836
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. One goes by John Murphy's

1837
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: Team Tasker practice wrapping up. We're moments away from Bill's

1838
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 1: long snapper read Fergus and joining us. In the meantime,

1839
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 1: let's get back to the phone calls a little bit.

1840
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Chris and West Seneca. Hello, Chris, you're on the air.

1841
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 1: Fighting guys. Good. Yeah, I just real quick, I'll before

1842
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 1: ask my question, can you hear me? Yes? Yes? Um,

1843
01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: he was just saying, I mean I've been getting a

1844
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 1: lot of that, like, well, they would have made those kicks,

1845
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: we would have lost. Well, then if if you fall behind,

1846
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,760
Speaker 1: we go into a different game plan to come back. Yeah,

1847
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: like that game with the Jets. I just knew the

1848
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: way how easy we were moving that ball. I had

1849
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: no doubt in my mind we were going to win

1850
01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah. Now if this, if that right, Steve,

1851
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: if my aunt had Nichols should beat my uncle, right,

1852
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:16,759
Speaker 1: something like that, something like that, right. Yeah. The bottom

1853
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 1: line is this, they're a good team. They're four and

1854
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: one for reasons because they're playing well. They've got a

1855
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:23,679
Speaker 1: great defense and an offense that's got a lot of talent,

1856
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 1: and with a quarterback who's a playmaker and he does

1857
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 1: enough to win games, certainly things can be different. Go ahead, Chris,

1858
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: you got one more thing? Yeah, and what do you

1859
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,679
Speaker 1: think about starting to use our tight ends a little

1860
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,599
Speaker 1: bit more. We got a good group of tight ends.

1861
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and this is the I mean at the

1862
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: tight ends driving this league now, and with those you know,

1863
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: big guys that the draft pick we you know, um,

1864
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: and then the four year guy we got um. I

1865
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 1: mean I mean even Sweezy I mean or Sweeney. Yeah,

1866
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how you trounced the last night you confused.

1867
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, these these guys are big and they can know.

1868
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: Not only can they block, I mean they got hands.

1869
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean the mix things up, like the three running

1870
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: backs we got. I mean to me, like Steve said,

1871
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Singletary can do all the above, but I

1872
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: think it's good to have him sit behind Gore for

1873
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: a year, kind of like Alex Smith and Mahomes in

1874
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 1: the running back situation. Let them learn from a guy

1875
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 1: that is number four and rushing at all times. And

1876
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 1: and that's about it. I mean, is it. You think

1877
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 1: it's the reason why they're they're backing off the tight ends,

1878
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: not as much as because of our offensive line is

1879
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:37,720
Speaker 1: just starting to gel and get annoyed. I don't know

1880
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 1: if they're back I don't think they're backing off. I

1881
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 1: think they're they're doing what it takes to win. I

1882
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 1: think they're given the tight ends a little more. I

1883
01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: think more of this, more of the problems are havn't

1884
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 1: thrown the football, either the deep ball, either the tight

1885
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 1: ends or the running bass. It's all centered on josh Uh.

1886
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: He's got to start reading the defenses a little better,

1887
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 1: taking the easier completions. He did it this last week

1888
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, no question. But I think this is I

1889
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:03,639
Speaker 1: think this is a team offensively that presents itself kind

1890
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: of the same way to all these defenses. They're playing

1891
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:09,799
Speaker 1: particularly good defenses, like the Patriots and the Tennessee Titans.

1892
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:12,800
Speaker 1: They do a nice job of keeping everything in front

1893
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 1: of them and they'll give you. I mean, it was

1894
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 1: a point last year where the Patriots were given up

1895
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: yardage like it was Christmas, but you had a hard

1896
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: time scoring points on them. It's the same kind of

1897
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 1: thing here this year with the Patriots, although they're even

1898
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:28,160
Speaker 1: better at stopping you even on the field out in

1899
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 1: the field to play as well. The Tennessee Titans, I

1900
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 1: think had a good game plan. But I'm with you.

1901
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all about using all the weapons they've got,

1902
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 1: But I think you're gonna have to wait and see

1903
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,840
Speaker 1: when you see this coaching staff unfurl a game plan

1904
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 1: where they've studied their opponents and they know where they

1905
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 1: can hit them where it hurts. It may not be

1906
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 1: the tight ends. It may be the running backs. It

1907
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:49,679
Speaker 1: may not be John Brown or Robert Fostered, maybe Cole Beasley,

1908
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 1: or it may be Duke Williams. I think that's the

1909
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:58,680
Speaker 1: intriguing part about this offense this year is that they

1910
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 1: can decide how they want to tack the defense with

1911
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 1: whatever tool they want, and they've got guys who can

1912
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 1: get it done. Hey, we're breaking here when we come back.

1913
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 1: Bills long snapper Red Ferguson joins us live in studio.

1914

01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 1: afternoon practice that day, getting set for the Miami Dolphins game.

1919
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:36,680
Speaker 1: Expect to get the injury update at some point during

1920
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 1: the afternoon. They do have a new player on the

1921
01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: practice squad, a familiar face, so wide receiver return specialists

1922
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,800
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McCloud is back, just released by Carolina a

1923
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. McCloud had issues with hanging out

1924
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 1: to the football and return work with the Panthers, the

1925
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 1: Bills bringing back their sixth round pick in twenty eighteen.

1926
01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:54,519
Speaker 1: He played ten games for the Bills. Last year, head

01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:57,639
Speaker 1: one start Ray Ray McCloud back on the Buffalo practice squad.

1928
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 1: The Bills put the wide receiver Jordan bc They released

1929
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 1: him from the practice squad today. Dolphins, believe it or not,

1930
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 1: still looking to cut apparently. They are apparently engaged in

1931
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,960
Speaker 1: talks to trade away running back Kenyon Drake. NFL Network

1932
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,880
Speaker 1: says the Dolphins have had trade conversations with team with

1933
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:15,599
Speaker 1: teams about Drake, they've indicated they would trade him if

1934
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 1: the right offer presents itself. He's in the final year

1935
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:20,719
Speaker 1: of his rookie contract. Two sides they had no extension

1936
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:24,080
Speaker 1: talks since training camp, and for his part, Kenyan Drake

1937
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 1: said he would welcome a new opportunity to play elsewhere.

1938
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,040

Speaker 1: and they lead the all time series sixty three to

1941
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,200
Speaker 1: fifty four. But Kansas City coming off back to back

1942

Speaker 1: is Kansas City and Denver Thursday night football Savers played tonight.

01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 1: last night, a five two loss to the Anaheim Ducks.

1948

01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,040

Speaker 1: in the last time you're on the show was Super Bowl.

1963
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 1: You would talk to US at the Super Bowl in

1964
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta back in February. That was yeah, yeah, no, it

1965
01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 1: was good. Um, good to be back on Yeah. How

1966
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 1: bad does it stink to practice outside on a day

1967
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 1: like today? Yeah, that's a little a little crappy, But um,

1968
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,720
Speaker 1: fourth year here you learn, you learn to love it.

1969
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 1: It's not your first trip, right, How does the weather

1970
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 1: change change your game? Your approach to handling the football

1971
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,439
Speaker 1: as much as you do. Um, most it is just

1972
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: making sure we have plenty of footballs I'd be able

1973
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,599
Speaker 1: to use because after you kick you know, two or three,

1974
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 1: if you can get to four, you keep it dry.

1975
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: But the ball's ruined pretty you know, water logs, so

1976
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 1: you just kind of have to keep a good rotation

1977
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 1: going with the operation. I know it happened a couple

1978
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 1: of times with me in my career. But have you

1979
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: ever had to like, hey, give me a new football

1980
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:22,840
Speaker 1: when you get out there and get over and say, hey,

1981
01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't this you gotta get this ball out of here. Yeah?

1982
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 1: Once that I can think of. It was last year

1983
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 1: in the Baltimore game, first game of the season, and

1984
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:33,040
Speaker 1: it was just coming down all game for like six hours,

1985
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:35,920
Speaker 1: so I had to switch out the ball once or twice.

1986
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:37,840
Speaker 1: Will they always make Will they always make the change

1987
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 1: for you? If usually they do? Yeah, and especially when

1988
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 1: when you know the weather's gonna be bad for a game,

1989
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,200
Speaker 1: that wrest will come over pre game say hey, you know,

1990
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:49,799
Speaker 1: we'll keep the balls dry for you. They're pretty friendly

1991
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 1: about it most of the time. So plus if they

1992
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 1: know too that if they spot the ball it's raining,

1993
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 1: then there's a delay and you can't get over the

1994
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,240
Speaker 1: ball now keeps raining on it, it gets that's when

1995
01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:00,240
Speaker 1: you have to get it changed. He waited too long

1996
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 1: now between plays because they do keep a lot of drive.

1997
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:06,240
Speaker 1: Football's ready, right, but between plays you got to spot

1998
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 1: it and then it sits there in the rain, right,

1999
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 1: and then the you know, the rest got a towel

2000
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 1: with him. But you know in between offense and you

2001
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 1: know offensive drives teams switching, you know that that towel

2002
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 1: is going to be soaked by the third drive of

2003
01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 1: the game. So with Bill's long snapper, read Ferguson. You're

2004
01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 1: in your third year on the roster right to seventeen

2005
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:25,720
Speaker 1: eighteen and so far this year nineteen, but you did

2006
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,360
Speaker 1: spend the twenty sixteen year on the practice squad. Here

2007
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 1: while Garrison Sanborn was the snapper. What was that year

2008
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:32,560
Speaker 1: like for you and how did you how did you

2009
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 1: handle that? What did you do? Yeah? So the main

2010
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,160
Speaker 1: thing about that sixteen year is is it was great

2011
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:41,000
Speaker 1: for my experience, um to kind of grow as a

2012
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 1: football player. On the mental side of it, really taking

2013
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, those three practices a week plus you know,

2014
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:51,800
Speaker 1: postgame stuff, watching film, you know, with with old coach

2015
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: Danny Crossman. But um, really just being able to focus

2016
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 1: on those three practices without having to worry about playing

2017
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday and focusing on get better as a snapper myself,

2018
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:04,200
Speaker 1: being able to do the scout punt team give you know,

2019
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,759
Speaker 1: looks for the for the starter guys on punt return,

2020
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:08,760
Speaker 1: and then you know, on the on the flip side,

2021
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 1: getting some rapport with Colton and Dan Carpenter was here,

2022
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, on the field goal side of things. Just

2023
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:16,599
Speaker 1: kind of working in that operation just and just staying

2024
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:18,840
Speaker 1: ready in case anything happened. Coach Craftsman's coming back with

2025
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 1: Miami Sunday, did you get What would your relationship like

2026
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:23,400
Speaker 1: with him and what did you get from him? Would

2027
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 1: you learn from him? Yeah? Danny, he taught me, you know,

2028
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:27,720
Speaker 1: He taught me a lot in my three years that

2029
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: I had with him. Um, you know, if if if

2030
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't here, you know, I don't think you know

2031
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 1: that I would that would be here because I think

2032
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,120
Speaker 1: he played a big part in bringing me back on

2033
01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:38,680
Speaker 1: the Pravorty squad for that season. But uh no, he

2034
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:40,759
Speaker 1: taught me a lot about ins and outs, some special

2035
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 1: teams itself, because coming in from college, you don't have

2036
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:47,040
Speaker 1: a wide note. It's it's very very basic in college.

2037
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:49,560
Speaker 1: You know, special teams, you've you've pretty much you know,

2038
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 1: the spread punt. You don't have the pro style punt.

2039
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: So that's a big difference. But uh now he taught

2040
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 1: me a lot about ins and outs and kind of

2041
01:37:57,479 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 1: daily preparation on how to how to go about my business.

2042
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:03,760
Speaker 1: How's your relationship? How much verbal feedback or conversation do

2043
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 1: you have with Steve during a game or that kind

2044
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: of thing? Uh? A lot to you right right right.

2045
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:12,600
Speaker 1: We're always talking. I mean after every kick, uh you know,

2046
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,880
Speaker 1: me and Corey Jorquez and Steve, you know, after a

2047
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:18,679
Speaker 1: field goal, Well, hey how are the laces? And Steve

2048
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:20,840
Speaker 1: will we'll talk with Bojoe, Hey, how is the whole

2049
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, laces, fine tilt and everything was you missed?

2050
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:25,679
Speaker 1: You know, did you make sure you had the spot

2051
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 1: right on the corner of the hash whatever it may be.

2052
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 1: But then you know on punts out, you know, hey,

2053
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 1: where's in a hip that I hit you in the face?

2054
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:34,640
Speaker 1: That hit you in the chest. Because Corey kind you know,

2055
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 1: depends on where we are on the field. He likes

2056
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 1: to catch it in different areas, so, um, you know,

2057
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 1: just kind of double check in most of the time.

2058
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 1: Wait with those guys. Wait, wait, you're telling me that

2059
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 1: he would rather like if you're on one hash a

2060
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 1: long field goal or the other hash and a shore

2061
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:50,240
Speaker 1: field goal, he wants to snap in a different place

2062
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 1: more for punts puts. Yeah, so if if we're close,

2063
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, if we're a plus you know, kicking up

2064
01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 1: plus fifty ball, he likes to kind of catch it

2065
01:38:57,920 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: up higher so he so he can flip it right

2066
01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:03,559
Speaker 1: there and kick it, uh the end over end kig

2067
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:05,760
Speaker 1: versus catching it on his hips so he can just

2068
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 1: extend it out and kick the field batches. Snapping for

2069
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:10,000
Speaker 1: a house guy, I would think would be I mean,

2070
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:12,800
Speaker 1: Bills fans know this if they watch and they watch games.

2071
01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:17,680
Speaker 1: House is meticulous, and I mean time he's out there

2072
01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:19,719
Speaker 1: just kind of looking at different spots on these because

2073
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 1: I think he's a little insane, would kind of have

2074
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:26,720
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, you got um, that's I mean, that's

2075
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:29,479
Speaker 1: part of part of the job is special. At this level,

2076
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 1: you kind of you have to fall in love with

2077
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:35,080
Speaker 1: the the every day you know, monotony of the job

2078
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 1: pretty much, you know, but because you're just you're practicing

2079
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:41,280
Speaker 1: doing the same movements over and over again. It's so

2080
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:43,760
Speaker 1: many But is it wind with him? Is he out there? Yeah?

2081
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: The win, especially in our stadium where it sits down

2082
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:49,120
Speaker 1: and and wind coming off the lake, it's always swirling

2083
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: and going in different directions, and you can we can

2084
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:53,680
Speaker 1: be lined up for a for a field goal, you know,

2085
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 1: going away from the tunnel on the fifteen yard line

2086
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:58,479
Speaker 1: and it's blowing you know, left to right, but you

2087
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,360
Speaker 1: back up fifteen yards and you've got it straight coming

2088
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 1: from the right, bouncing off that side of the stadium.

2089
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I call him crazy. But here's the thing

2090
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: and the reason the kickers kind of look the way

2091
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:11,479
Speaker 1: they do straight because he has to think about things

2092
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 1: nobody else cares about. That's right, right, right, that's right.

2093
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 1: He's gotta he's got to think about things. Everybody's like, well,

2094
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 1: what are you doing? He's like, and he does stuff

2095
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:22,479
Speaker 1: that looks a little peculiar because he's that meticulous in

2096
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:24,439
Speaker 1: what he's doing. There are things out there that affect

2097
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 1: his job. That's right, and he's I mean credit to him.

2098
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 1: He's you know, doing all of those, you know, all

2099
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 1: the different things he does on a game day and

2100
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,320
Speaker 1: throughout the week and pregame, post game, whatever it may be.

2101
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 1: He's been playing for thirteen years or you know, thirteen

2102
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: years whatever. You know, it's not by accident. He's one

2103
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:43,720
Speaker 1: of the best, um you know, percentage wise, I think,

2104
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:46,639
Speaker 1: in league history. So you know it's not like you said,

2105
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:49,160
Speaker 1: it's not by accident. In games, is he yapping at

2106
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 1: you like I need this, I need that? Or is

2107
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 1: it the other way around? Do you talk to him?

2108
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,400
Speaker 1: Usually not I, you know, I give him a tap

2109
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,920
Speaker 1: on the helmet, you know, when he kicks touchback, you know,

2110
01:40:56,960 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. But um, well, you know it's

2111
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty even keel I would say during the game,

2112
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:03,800
Speaker 1: because that's what you can't get too high, you can't

2113
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 1: get too low, you know, depending on whatever happened with

2114
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 1: Red ferguson Bills long snapper and now we get down

2115
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:10,760
Speaker 1: to the nitty gritty of it. We talked with the

2116
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: former Bills kicker Steve Christie and we asked him, Hey,

2117
01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:16,400
Speaker 1: what should we ask the long snapper? He said, it's

2118
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:19,120
Speaker 1: different than when he played. Christy is mostly in the nineties.

2119
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 1: I guess right, played for a long time, he said.

2120
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 1: Long snappers now have the ability and he admires this,

2121
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: to snap it so that the laces are exactly where

2122
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: they should be, you get the right spin on it.

2123
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 1: Is that a Have you always snap like that? Or

2124
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:33,760
Speaker 1: are you take that snap that way? And tell me

2125
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:36,439
Speaker 1: how difficult that is? Um? As you as I got older,

2126
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 1: it was, the more you perfect your craft, the more

2127
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:45,040
Speaker 1: important it gets, especially when you're performing in such tight

2128
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:48,599
Speaker 1: margins at this level. And it's about so going back

2129
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 1: to the spin on the ball, it's about two and

2130
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:53,240
Speaker 1: a half rotations, give or take, you know, a quarter

2131
01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 1: spin on the ball, depending on where where the tip

2132
01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 1: of the ball is, depending on where you hold it.

2133
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 1: Eight you know, eight and a half yards some guy,

2134
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:03,519
Speaker 1: you know, some guys put it within a yard of

2135
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:06,720
Speaker 1: each other. But um, now it's it's really and I

2136
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:09,640
Speaker 1: don't hold the laces when I snap. The laces are

2137
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:11,559
Speaker 1: kind of in the palm of my hand, so it's

2138
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 1: a quarter turn. But as long as I'm getting the

2139
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: same as long as I'm releasing it with the same

2140
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:18,280
Speaker 1: amount of power each and every time, it's going to

2141
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 1: end up. You know, between if you look at a clock,

2142
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 1: it'll be about twelve o'clock. It's straightforward, so it'll be

2143
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: roughly round twelve o'clock. One of the things I've said

2144
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 1: when when I'm covering that the game is in the

2145
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 1: kicking game. Sure, it moves the kick around and move

2146
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 1: a it'll move a punt, you know, out of bounds

2147
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 1: or a kick out outside the uprights, it'll make you

2148
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 1: miss or whatever you have to play the win at.

2149
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 1: But also on a long snap for a punt, if

2150
01:42:42,080 --> 01:42:44,799
Speaker 1: you're going into it, it's an extra degree of difficulty

2151
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:47,320
Speaker 1: as well, particularly in a building like like New Era

2152
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:50,800
Speaker 1: the window move the ball around on a snap, let

2153
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:53,920
Speaker 1: alone on a kick. Yeah, especially uh yeah, like you said,

2154
01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 1: especially playing in our stadium. Um, when i'm you know,

2155
01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:59,799
Speaker 1: if we're punting with the wind, that means I'm snapping

2156
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 1: against the wind because you know, I'm the balls going

2157
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 1: the opposite way. So usually when you're going when you're

2158
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 1: snapping against the wind, that's when it affects it a

2159
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:10,640
Speaker 1: little bit more because because of the wind pressure. But

2160
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: that's just when when when you know you're snapping against

2161
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 1: the wind, um you just have to really focus on

2162
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:18,840
Speaker 1: your follow through and getting a tight spotal so you

2163
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 1: can kind of cut through the wind as much as possible.

2164
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 1: Here's what I want to know too. Actually, I know

2165
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:25,000
Speaker 1: it's a fraternity kind of the kickers and punters and

2166
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 1: long snappers. You got what kind of feedback or conversations

2167
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:31,560
Speaker 1: have you had with guys on the opponent other sideline

2168
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 1: when they come in to kick here or rego someplace else,

2169
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 1: or what do they think about kicking a new era?

2170
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 1: Uh with this win in these conditions and like an

2171
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: equ out there and well you get the snow game, right,

2172
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,920
Speaker 1: I guess the Colts, I mean, good grief, Yeah, it's

2173
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:46,719
Speaker 1: not it's not easy. And talking to a few guys,

2174
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:49,560
Speaker 1: you know after the game, they'll they'll maybe throw a

2175
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,400
Speaker 1: comment out there about it. But usually it's the kickers

2176
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:55,519
Speaker 1: that you know, if you know, if a guy has

2177
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: a you know, I think Vedvic who we played who

2178
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:00,599
Speaker 1: in Minnesota? You in the in the last season game,

2179
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 1: missed a kick here or maybe you know, maybe two kicks,

2180
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,960
Speaker 1: but uh, you know he remember him saying after the game,

2181
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's not an easy place to kick. But

2182
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's it's kind of the gist of places.

2183
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:14,599
Speaker 1: You know, at Green Bay not easy to kick, Chicago,

2184
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 1: you know New England as well. You know it's out

2185
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:21,559
Speaker 1: outdoor Northern Stadium where after you know, Halloween, it's gonna

2186
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 1: be tough to kick and you're gonna have to kick

2187
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:26,120
Speaker 1: through the conditions and h you know, being the home

2188
01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 1: team when you play in those stadiums, it's definitely an

2189
01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:30,920
Speaker 1: advantage second half of the seasons in November, I mean,

2190
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:33,479
Speaker 1: that's right, You're last eight games. I mean it's two

2191
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 1: months of that. That's right for this area. Yeah, I

2192
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:38,080
Speaker 1: get you read ferguson Bills long snapper where the Steve

2193
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:41,200
Speaker 1: talked about the special teams fraternity. What about the the

2194
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: long snapper fraternity and we're talking before you come out

2195
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 1: of the air, there are It's the one position where

2196
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:49,760
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of turnover. You can make

2197
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: a nice long career for yourself. If you're kind of

2198
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 1: a consistent, good lung snapper. You see it all over

2199
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:56,120
Speaker 1: the place, right, Yeah, that's right. A lot of good

2200
01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of long tenured snappers over the years.

2201
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, I guess maybe longest average career in a position,

2202
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:07,519
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, it's definitely up there. But yeah,

2203
01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: if you're I mean, if you're good and a team

2204
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:10,920
Speaker 1: likes you, they're gonna keep you around for a long time.

2205
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 1: One name that comes to mind is Patrick Manneley. He

2206
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:17,680
Speaker 1: snapped for Chicago for I think seventeen years, seventeen eighteen years,

2207
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:19,760
Speaker 1: and he was there for a long time, and um,

2208
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, renowned as one of the best to play

2209
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:25,960
Speaker 1: the position ever. But he gave me, you know, I

2210
01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:27,559
Speaker 1: worked with him a little bit when I was coming

2211
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 1: out in twenty sixteen and he gave me some good tips.

2212
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,560
Speaker 1: And I've been in contact over the years. So but

2213
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, like we talked about it beforehand. Um Ben

2214
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 1: from the charge, you know, he he's been you know,

2215
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 1: or he was there for a long time. I think

2216
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,840
Speaker 1: he had a seventeen year career. Yeah. And then the guy,

2217
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 1: um John Denny down in my they you know, unfortunately

2218
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,479
Speaker 1: got rid of this year, but uh, you know he played,

2219
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:55,599
Speaker 1: you know, he just set there starts record for the Dolphins,

2220
01:45:55,640 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 1: I think, or most games played or whatever it was. Yeah,

2221
01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:00,640
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, like I said, if you're if

2222
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:03,240
Speaker 1: you're good and you work hard, and a team likes you,

2223
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:04,960
Speaker 1: are going to keep you around for a long while,

2224
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 1: I was saying, it'd be a hard So John Denny's

2225
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:09,800
Speaker 1: done it for what fourteen years? Maybe how do you

2226
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 1: make that cut on September second? Because you think you

2227
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:15,960
Speaker 1: got another good one, but you've got all these years

2228
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 1: of experience and you're you're rolling the dice a little bit.

2229
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: How do you make that release? How do you make

2230
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 1: that cut? Yeah? And I get you know, it kind

2231
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 1: of depends on the team situation. I would say, you

2232
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,960
Speaker 1: know money, maybe you know money. You know, once you

2233
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:29,679
Speaker 1: get up there, you know you're you're the veteran minimum.

2234
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:32,400
Speaker 1: Is is only so much, you know. But when you've

2235
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 1: got a rookie, you know, and I stay on the

2236
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:37,559
Speaker 1: other side, and it's answered every NFL right, that's right,

2237
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:39,880
Speaker 1: and that you know, I don't I don't know if

2238
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 1: it did. You know that was the last regime, but

2239
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 1: it might have played a role in the reason that

2240
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:48,320
Speaker 1: they chose to bring me back back in seventeen. Um,

2241
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:51,200
Speaker 1: but you know, you never know. It's every team's different. Well,

2242
01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:54,519
Speaker 1: and plus when you get a situation like Miami where

2243
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:57,760
Speaker 1: you've got head coach, new head coach, new GM new

2244
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 1: head coach, um, they just might want to seek out

2245
01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:05,240
Speaker 1: and get get rid of the old lingering attitudes or

2246
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 1: value system or even some of the faces and voices,

2247
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 1: just to say, hey, this is our crew. Now, some

2248
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 1: of that happens. Yeah, before we let you go, we know, yeah,

2249
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:15,840
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be watching baseball tonight, right game.

2250
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 1: How does a kid growing up in Atlanta become a

2251
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 1: New York Yankees fan? That's right? Uh yeah, So the Yankees,

2252
01:47:22,760 --> 01:47:24,960
Speaker 1: uh one of my little league teams from when I

2253
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:28,800
Speaker 1: was much you know, when I seven or eight years old.

2254
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:31,559
Speaker 1: But we were really good and most of the players

2255
01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:34,840
Speaker 1: were the retired numbers for the Yankees, the single digit numbers,

2256
01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 1: and I was Roger Marris, so number nine. So I've

2257
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 1: kind of, um, you know, I've fallen in love with

2258
01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 1: with the Yankees and and gotten I got a chance

2259
01:47:43,439 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 1: to go to the new Yankee Stadium for the first

2260
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 1: time in the spring, so that was awesome. But I'll

2261
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:51,200
Speaker 1: be watching tonight. It'll be a tough one. Houston. Last week, Yeah,

2262
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:54,479
Speaker 1: down down. I went to Game five against Tampa. They

2263
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:58,479
Speaker 1: were um yeah last last Thursday night. I think girlfriends

2264
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:00,720
Speaker 1: from Houston, so I was down visiting it. We don't

2265
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to go to a postseason baseball much,

2266
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, depending on how Bye week falls, and fortunately

2267
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:07,920
Speaker 1: this year, but I've never been able to get away

2268
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 1: to one. But yeah, time worked out perfect. Great, Hey,

2269
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:14,160
Speaker 1: thanks for this week for having me on. Reed ferguson

2270
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:17,000
Speaker 1: Bills long snapper. Got an update from today's practice coming

2271
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 1: up in a moment, and we're gonna hear from Duke Williams.

2272
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,280
Speaker 1: Also come on back for more. It's One Bill's Lide

2273
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:23,959
Speaker 1: presented by a Lot of Health from the Seneca Studios

2274
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park, and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Thanks Red,

2275
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,080
Speaker 1: We'll come back One Bill's Live. John Murphy Steve Tasker

2276
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 1: from our Seneca Studios in Orchard Park hitting sept for

2277
01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Dolphins on Sunday. The weather should

2278
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:50,600
Speaker 1: be good, unlike today, still raining out there here in

2279
01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. This week's game sponsor is Great Lakes Cancer Care.

2280
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:56,479
Speaker 1: Together we are bigger than cancer. Got an interesting question

2281
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:59,320
Speaker 1: on the table, and again I feel guilty with this question.

2282
01:48:59,360 --> 01:49:02,240
Speaker 1: Steve that clear. I don't think we should assume it's

2283
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:04,000
Speaker 1: a victory. And I hear people on the radio and

2284
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:06,200
Speaker 1: callers sometimes saying, well, the Bills will win and they

2285
01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 1: should bury him. In fact, you just read the tweet.

2286
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:12,439
Speaker 1: Nobody buries anybody that frequently in the NFL. So all

2287
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:14,439
Speaker 1: that being said, I will I'll tell you what a

2288
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:17,439
Speaker 1: Twitter poll question is because we're kind of assuming a

2289
01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 1: victory here, which I think is the right position, aren't

2290
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:22,760
Speaker 1: we Aren't we assuming that? Let me read the question,

2291
01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:25,439
Speaker 1: along with the Bills win, which is not I'm not

2292
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:27,439
Speaker 1: assuming anything, but along with a win, what do you

2293
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:29,639
Speaker 1: want to see Sunday against the Dolphins? And on Twitter

2294
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,240
Speaker 1: we've had good response to that question. We offer a

2295
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: couple of suggested answers and we've got thirteen hundred votes.

2296
01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 1: In sixty two percent, most of you say you want

2297
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 1: to see Josh Allen in the passing game improve. Twenty

2298
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 1: nine percent say you want to see a motor Devin

2299
01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 1: Singletary sparked the offense as he is likely to return

2300
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:52,920
Speaker 1: to the offense. Six percent say you look at her

2301
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 1: more saxon turnovers from the defense, and three percent have

2302
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 1: something else in mind? Are we assuming a victory? There?

2303
01:49:58,080 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 1: Are we trying to end dangerous ground? Here's how we

2304
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:02,880
Speaker 1: got to this. We came in thinking, you know, of course,

2305
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 1: and what do you want to We want to say,

2306
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 1: what do you want to see? Like, how do you

2307
01:50:05,720 --> 01:50:07,280
Speaker 1: want to see the offense improve? Or what do you

2308
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:09,439
Speaker 1: want to see that we'll stand out about this game

2309
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,760
Speaker 1: and be different about what we've seen in past Bills games.

2310
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 1: Even though they're four and one, there's they've done a

2311
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:15,760
Speaker 1: lot of good things. What do you want to see

2312
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 1: and Well, the simple answer to that question is, well,

2313
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:20,760
Speaker 1: we want to see him win well, no matter what

2314
01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 1: it looks like. And I think at the bottom line

2315
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: is that's what it is. So in order to get

2316
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 1: that answer out of our Twitter poll, we had to

2317
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:29,720
Speaker 1: put the caveat in front of the question along with

2318
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 1: a win, right, thank you. So that's where we got

2319
01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:34,840
Speaker 1: to this thing where we're not assuming anything, particularly the

2320
01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:37,320
Speaker 1: fact that we keep talking ourselves into this stupid fitz

2321
01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 1: magic place. I haven't talking about the guy's got something

2322
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:44,560
Speaker 1: under the hood play he started games for eight to

2323
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 1: He's the only less and think about that, the only

2324
01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 1: guy in NFL history to start and throw a touchdown

2325
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 1: for eight different teams in the National Football League. And

2326
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 1: he's coming in here this Sunday for the That doesn't

2327
01:50:56,600 --> 01:50:59,720
Speaker 1: make him special, that makes he's a survivor more than

2328
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:02,160
Speaker 1: any Here's the thing, Yeah, it is. You survive in

2329
01:51:02,200 --> 01:51:04,400
Speaker 1: this league by doing some really cool things once in

2330
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 1: a while. And I still and you gotta know that

2331
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:10,000
Speaker 1: if you catch him on one of the and I

2332
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:12,679
Speaker 1: go back to this analogy all the time roller coaster

2333
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 1: right where you climb, they do these high things where

2334
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 1: these great plays, these great games, these great moments, these

2335
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:23,559
Speaker 1: unforgettable things that happened in these careers. Fitz has got

2336
01:51:23,600 --> 01:51:27,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of those. The problem is he just he

2337
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,479
Speaker 1: always drops, you know, he always goes up, and you

2338
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:31,599
Speaker 1: don't know when are gonna be from week to week,

2339
01:51:32,479 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: and that inconsistency is the one thing that scares you

2340
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 1: about this thing. They this may be a bad football

2341
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,799
Speaker 1: team that's coming in here on Sunday, in the Miami Dolphins,

2342
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:42,599
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean Fitz isn't gonna do something special

2343
01:51:42,720 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 1: with them. That's what gets me. I bet in his

2344
01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:48,200
Speaker 1: heart of hearts if you ask Ryan Fitzpatrick, he would

2345
01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:51,080
Speaker 1: never answer this question. Hey, Ryan, is this the worst

2346
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:56,680
Speaker 1: supporting cash you've ever been around? He would say, undoubtedly, unquestionably, yes,

2347
01:51:57,360 --> 01:52:00,439
Speaker 1: I got nothing. I got nothing around him. I'm he

2348
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:02,439
Speaker 1: can never say that, but I believe if you could

2349
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:04,320
Speaker 1: ever get a straight answer out of him, he would

2350
01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 1: say that I got nothing. Look at look at who

2351
01:52:06,439 --> 01:52:08,559
Speaker 1: I'm going. We're talking about trading one of the few

2352
01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 1: offensive performers we have in Kenyan Drake. I mean, come on, man,

2353
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,640
Speaker 1: come on, um, let's take a call on Ryan Fitzpatrick.

2354
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 1: What is on the line? Hello Wood? Hello, are you there?

2355
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 1: Not there? Oh? He had a good he had a

2356
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 1: good Uh. Let's go to a Dan in Florida. Hello, Dan,

2357
01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 1: he guys, Hi Dan, thank you for being there. Okay, Hi,

2358
01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:38,200
Speaker 1: great to talk to you, both of you. And yeah,

2359
01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:41,400
Speaker 1: could have a good game. And he could also throw

2360
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 1: a fourth pick. That's right, that's right, and and all

2361
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:48,400
Speaker 1: you need to do and I'll let you get back

2362
01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:51,360
Speaker 1: at here. Dan is look at his last two games

2363
01:52:51,640 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 1: against the Bills in the stadium right the finale of

2364
01:52:55,520 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 1: the twenty fifteen season. The Jets needed to win. They're

2365
01:52:58,439 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 1: trailing in the fourth quarter, he throw it's not one,

2366
01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 1: not two, but three consecutive interceptions in the fourth quarter

2367
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:06,479
Speaker 1: game over, Jets lose out of the playoffs, and then

2368
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:08,599
Speaker 1: he comes back the following year and throws for three

2369
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 1: hundred something yards and leads the Jets to a big

2370
01:53:11,080 --> 01:53:12,759
Speaker 1: win over the Bills. Here and what was it Thursday

2371
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:14,800
Speaker 1: night football? I think it was Thursday that Monday night.

2372
01:53:15,080 --> 01:53:16,240
Speaker 1: So all you need to do is look at that

2373
01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:19,120
Speaker 1: and realize he's that, and he's that too, he's both

2374
01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:22,640
Speaker 1: go ahead. I'm sorry, Dan, every game since O. J.

2375
01:53:22,840 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 1: Simpson got the two thousand and three yards, so I understand,

2376
01:53:27,479 --> 01:53:32,160
Speaker 1: and so I got it, big guy. Thanks Dan, And

2377
01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:35,720
Speaker 1: just tell you is that I believe we are going

2378
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:38,519
Speaker 1: to trash them because I think our defense is going

2379
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:42,519
Speaker 1: to be able to contain them big time. My bigger concern,

2380
01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:44,799
Speaker 1: which is what I wanted to talk to you guys about,

2381
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:49,160
Speaker 1: is about the Eagles. There's three and three. They could

2382
01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:52,400
Speaker 1: be three and four pretty soon, doesn't and you know,

2383
01:53:52,680 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 1: you don't know their secondary is heard their offense. I

2384
01:53:57,160 --> 01:54:00,800
Speaker 1: think our defense can handle and I've love for you

2385
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:04,720
Speaker 1: guys to talk I know it's a week early, Yeah,

2386
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 1: talk about that because we've got a bunch of games

2387
01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:10,920
Speaker 1: here that we can win. So you guys have a

2388
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 1: wonderful day. God bless you, thank you. I have not

2389
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:16,160
Speaker 1: given any thought at all of the Eagles, Steve, to

2390
01:54:16,200 --> 01:54:19,600
Speaker 1: be honest with they have. But I will say this,

2391
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:24,519
Speaker 1: Murph Steve, you're telling me you think this year's Miami

2392
01:54:24,640 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins team, for fits, is worse than the Bucks, the Jets,

2393
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:32,120
Speaker 1: the Texans, the Titans, the Bills, the teams that he

2394
01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:35,960
Speaker 1: played for here in eight, the two thousand and seven

2395
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:39,320
Speaker 1: and two thousand and eight Cincinnati Bengals, and the five

2396
01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:42,080
Speaker 1: and six Saint Louis Ramps. I'm telling you this Dolphins

2397
01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:44,280
Speaker 1: team that I've watched two of their games in depth

2398
01:54:44,360 --> 01:54:46,040
Speaker 1: now this week, and watch them a couple other times.

2399
01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:49,400
Speaker 1: It's the worst collection of NFL talent that I've ever

2400
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:53,680
Speaker 1: seen ever come on. The worst, really the worst. I

2401
01:54:53,760 --> 01:54:55,960
Speaker 1: don't know if I go that far, because there were

2402
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:58,560
Speaker 1: some pretty bad Detroit Lion teams. It's some pretty bad

2403
01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills teams that buff the Cleveland Browns two years ago. Worst,

2404
01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: this is the worst NFL team I've ever seen. Okay,

2405
01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:08,240
Speaker 1: what do you think about this game? Along with the win?

2406
01:55:08,280 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 1: What do you want to see Sunday against the Dolphins.

2407
01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 1: The Bill's practice ended about thirty five minutes ago. Sean

2408
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:15,520
Speaker 1: McDermott after practice, John Brown, Bill's wide receiver on a

2409
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:18,360
Speaker 1: limited rep count. McDermot said, they're just trying to be

2410
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 1: careful with him, especially in the rainy field conditions today.

2411
01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:24,440
Speaker 1: Matt Mlano, linebacker limited yesterday, he was limited again today

2412
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:27,800
Speaker 1: and Devin Singletary. McDermot says the Bills are trying to

2413
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:30,520
Speaker 1: be smart and keep him on a rep count at practice,

2414
01:55:30,560 --> 01:55:32,680
Speaker 1: but he said he looked good out there on Thursday.

2415
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:34,400
Speaker 1: That's smart. That's a smart way to play it. That's

2416
01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 1: the update from practice today. Thanks to Chris Brown. Thank

2417
01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: you Chris. Yeah, and I think they want to make

2418
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:42,400
Speaker 1: sure that when he comes back, Devin Singletary stays in

2419
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 1: the lineup. Yeah. I think they'll probably do the exact

2420
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:48,000
Speaker 1: same thing with Matt Milano. I think they'll probably do

2421
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 1: the exact same thing with all these other players that

2422
01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we saw Mitch Morris. I mean

2423
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:54,560
Speaker 1: it was five weeks with concussion protocol and it was

2424
01:55:55,080 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think this is a team that takes

2425
01:55:57,280 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 1: that their players health really seriously. I think the sport

2426
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:02,720
Speaker 1: with science people. I think the medical staff are all

2427
01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:04,520
Speaker 1: over it, and I think they got a good handle

2428
01:56:04,560 --> 01:56:06,920
Speaker 1: on it, and I think they're deep enough. This coaching

2429
01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:09,200
Speaker 1: staff is deep enough and secure in there and the

2430
01:56:09,280 --> 01:56:11,880
Speaker 1: way they do things enough to say, listen, it's better

2431
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:13,640
Speaker 1: to have the guy back one hundred percent healthy than

2432
01:56:13,680 --> 01:56:16,840
Speaker 1: they put him out there too early and have him

2433
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:18,960
Speaker 1: not be one hundred percent play one hundred percent or

2434
01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 1: not be as effective as we need him to be.

2435
01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:23,720
Speaker 1: Got a couple of calls on Ryan Fitzpatrick. We're gonna

2436
01:56:23,720 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 1: try would again? Is that you would? Yes? How are you?

2437
01:56:28,080 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 1: How are you doing good? I'm good. I was concerned

2438
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 1: about whether Fitzpatrick signed a new contract or not recently,

2439
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:41,320
Speaker 1: because I remember when he played with Buffalo he signed

2440
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:44,600
Speaker 1: a new contract. He played well before that, but after

2441
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:47,920
Speaker 1: the contract he was he got hurt. He got hurt

2442
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 1: the very next game, right it was before a game

2443
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:52,280
Speaker 1: in Toronto. He got hurt that game and was never

2444
01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:54,600
Speaker 1: the same. But look, he's coming off his best year

2445
01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:57,000
Speaker 1: in the league in these eight different locals where he's

2446
01:56:57,040 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 1: been a starter, his best year last year with Tampa Bay,

2447
01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:02,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not telling you he's playing well. Now. It's

2448
01:57:02,320 --> 01:57:03,960
Speaker 1: hard to play well on that group that he has

2449
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:06,640
Speaker 1: in Miami. But yeah, he signed a contract in you know,

2450
01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:09,800
Speaker 1: March or whenever he signed with the Dolphins. But I

2451
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:11,520
Speaker 1: don't know the contract that he signed here with the

2452
01:57:11,560 --> 01:57:13,720
Speaker 1: Bills had much to do with the drop off in

2453
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:16,200
Speaker 1: his play. He got hurt. I forget that they were

2454
01:57:16,200 --> 01:57:18,360
Speaker 1: playing in Toronto. I can look that up and was

2455
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:20,120
Speaker 1: not You're right, he was not the same after that,

2456
01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:22,800
Speaker 1: not here in Buffalo. But again, a very solid, you know,

2457
01:57:22,880 --> 01:57:25,320
Speaker 1: pretty good numbers for Ryan. He's on a two year deal.

2458
01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:29,520
Speaker 1: It's worth eleven total values worth eleven million. He's making

2459
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:32,200
Speaker 1: five and a half million bucks a year. He's got

2460
01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 1: seven million of it guaranteed the Fitzpatrick. So he just

2461
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:39,640
Speaker 1: signed it probably coming into this year. So yeah, because

2462
01:57:39,680 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 1: he came over from Tampa Bay. So yeah, he just

2463
01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:46,160
Speaker 1: signed a two year deal. I don't know. I don't

2464
01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:49,120
Speaker 1: know if that plays into your scenario of why he

2465
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:51,800
Speaker 1: stinks after he signs a good deal. But that's not true.

2466
01:57:52,080 --> 01:57:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's not true. We'll see go to

2467
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:58,640
Speaker 1: Steve in Springville. Welcome Steve, you're on the air with this. Hey,

2468
01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:01,560
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Yeah, I was just thinking that

2469
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:04,600
Speaker 1: it's probably a good idea for the Dolphins. He's starting

2470
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:09,120
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick just being easy, more veteran quarterback. The Bill's defense there,

2471
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:13,840
Speaker 1: they're no joke. I can see him having some better decisions,

2472
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:18,120
Speaker 1: being all a dump off he's getting rushed and just

2473
01:58:18,320 --> 01:58:22,640
Speaker 1: using it his experience to their advantage. Second, I'll wait

2474
01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:26,120
Speaker 1: for your thoughts, your thoughts on that seat. I've said

2475
01:58:26,160 --> 01:58:29,240
Speaker 1: that during the show as well today. Steve from Springville,

2476
01:58:29,280 --> 01:58:30,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think a lot of it

2477
01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:34,120
Speaker 1: has to do this move has to do with the

2478
01:58:34,240 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins looking at the Bills defense on film and saying,

2479
01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:41,360
Speaker 1: there's Josh Rosen has no shot to be successful, and

2480
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:43,760
Speaker 1: it'll I think it'll be a detriment to them going forward.

2481
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,400
Speaker 1: If he came out and played and got shut out

2482
01:58:46,440 --> 01:58:48,680
Speaker 1: and through some interceptions, just look horrible doing it and

2483
01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 1: they went to Ryan Fitzpatrick again, I think it becomes

2484
01:58:52,480 --> 01:58:55,160
Speaker 1: impossible for them to keep throwing Josh Rosen out there

2485
01:58:55,200 --> 01:58:57,160
Speaker 1: week to week when he looks like that. So I

2486
01:58:57,200 --> 01:59:00,600
Speaker 1: think they start Ryan Fitzpatrick, let him either win it

2487
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 1: or take his lumps, knowing that they've got ten games

2488
01:59:03,360 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 1: after this one to find a way to get Josh

2489
01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 1: Rosen on the field and evaluate him. Thanks for your call.

2490
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to um Stephen and Jamestown, New York. Hello Stephen,

2491
01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Hi. Hi, um Hey John. Yeah,

2492
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Buffalo in Miami games this Sunday

2493
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:26,400
Speaker 1: with one of my staff. Your Derek great and I

2494
01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:31,440
Speaker 1: hope they win, so do I. Yeah, thanks Steven, I'll

2495
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: have fun of the game too. Merrill and Amhurst, Welcome

2496
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 1: to the show. Meryl, Hello, I wanted to respond to

2497
01:59:39,240 --> 01:59:45,200
Speaker 1: the two. Sure. I really would like to see singletary.

2498
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:49,480
Speaker 1: I've been a fan of his since printing jam Camp

2499
01:59:49,560 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 1: and even even before that. I also have one question

2500
01:59:53,320 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 1: that I wonder if you could answer or somebody on

2501
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:01,560
Speaker 1: a kickoff, why do the players on the team run

2502
02:00:01,680 --> 02:00:05,960
Speaker 1: down the field to the right through the zone even

2503
02:00:05,960 --> 02:00:09,240
Speaker 1: though the ball has already gone out of the end zone? Steve,

2504
02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:13,200
Speaker 1: how many kick if you covered? Yeah, I've covered a thousand,

2505
02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:18,560
Speaker 1: a couple. Um, here's why, Merrill. That's the only time

2506
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:20,560
Speaker 1: they get a chance to run and be on the field.

2507
02:00:21,120 --> 02:00:23,400
Speaker 1: It's no simpler than that. You gotta you gotta play

2508
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 1: it like it. You gotta make sure you're down there

2509
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:29,240
Speaker 1: in case something happens. So, yeah, if the if um

2510
02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:32,520
Speaker 1: you run until and I don't know how any other

2511
02:00:32,600 --> 02:00:34,680
Speaker 1: way to put it. When you're covering a kick off

2512
02:00:34,800 --> 02:00:37,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL, it feels pretty good to be running

2513
02:00:37,080 --> 02:00:38,960
Speaker 1: down that field like that, and it's and these guys

2514
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:42,680
Speaker 1: are I remember I was in my mid early mid

2515
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:46,840
Speaker 1: late twenties and early thirties covering kicks like that, and

2516
02:00:47,200 --> 02:00:48,840
Speaker 1: you just do it because you feel like you were

2517
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:50,520
Speaker 1: born to run down that field and do it. That's

2518
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:54,720
Speaker 1: always to track the ball sometimes, yeah, you know when

2519
02:00:54,760 --> 02:00:56,120
Speaker 1: a ball is gonna go out, you can tell by

2520
02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:59,000
Speaker 1: the body language of the returner. But you run because

2521
02:00:59,040 --> 02:01:01,280
Speaker 1: it feels really good do it. It does. It feels

2522
02:01:01,320 --> 02:01:03,920
Speaker 1: good to run down there freedom. Whether you hit somebody

2523
02:01:04,040 --> 02:01:09,000
Speaker 1: or not, it just feels good. You're you're you're young

2524
02:01:09,920 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 1: guy in shape and your sunny day and Orchard Park

2525
02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:16,080
Speaker 1: covering a kick man. Yeah, you run, you know every

2526
02:01:16,080 --> 02:01:20,560
Speaker 1: buddy Ronnie Wolfley, right, oh yeah, Arizona Cardinals, Saint Louis Cardinals. Yeah, yeah, great,

2527
02:01:20,560 --> 02:01:23,160
Speaker 1: special four time Pro Bowl specialty player, the never forget

2528
02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:24,880
Speaker 1: doing a show with him once and he said, you

2529
02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:28,080
Speaker 1: know how he talks. Every American male should have the

2530
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:31,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to cover a kick in the n I don't

2531
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:34,000
Speaker 1: care if guys are dressed in suits with their briefcases

2532
02:01:34,080 --> 02:01:37,400
Speaker 1: just to run down field in total mayhem. I mean,

2533
02:01:37,440 --> 02:01:40,000
Speaker 1: he is this You know I said the same thing.

2534
02:01:40,080 --> 02:01:42,080
Speaker 1: I said, the world be a better place if everybody

2535
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:45,240
Speaker 1: got to cover a kickoff once a week, the world

2536
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:49,720
Speaker 1: be a better place. It's therapeutic, Murph. It is therapeutic

2537
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:53,520
Speaker 1: with there because virtually back when it's not this way now,

2538
02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:55,840
Speaker 1: but back in the day, you get a running start

2539
02:01:56,800 --> 02:01:59,520
Speaker 1: and after that there ain't no rules. Just go go

2540
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:01,960
Speaker 1: find to find the ball and tackle the guy. And

2541
02:02:02,280 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 1: it's it is very exhilarating to do it, and it's

2542
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 1: meditative in a sense. Let's go to a couple more

2543

02:02:39,080 --> 02:02:41,400
Speaker 1: on it. All right, all right, we'll pass that on.

2552
02:02:41,480 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 1: That's for the tip, Dave. I agree with you. I

2553
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:45,600
Speaker 1: do think McDermott has done a good job in his

2554
02:02:45,720 --> 02:02:49,200
Speaker 1: brief tenure here of keeping his team lockdown, focused on

2555
02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:52,800
Speaker 1: whatever the challenge is. Over confidence or even under confidence.

2556
02:02:52,880 --> 02:02:54,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes when they go into play some games, you know

2557
02:02:54,480 --> 02:02:57,360
Speaker 1: what I mean, they're usually pretty pretty even kiel bunch,

2558
02:02:57,400 --> 02:02:59,600
Speaker 1: I think, don't you Yeah, And they got and he's

2559
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:04,800
Speaker 1: preaching and has been preaching, you know, stay humble, stay hungry.

2560
02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:06,720
Speaker 1: You got a lot of work to do. You're you're

2561
02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:10,120
Speaker 1: not finished yet, and all of that is true. All

2562
02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:12,120
Speaker 1: of that is very true. You've got to know that

2563
02:03:12,360 --> 02:03:14,240
Speaker 1: it's a long season. You've got a lot of work

2564
02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:17,080
Speaker 1: to do. And this game is just as important as

2565
02:03:17,200 --> 02:03:20,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots game three weeks ago, the Titans game two

2566
02:03:20,320 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and the Bengals and the Giants and the

2567
02:03:23,200 --> 02:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Jets games before that. They're all really important. And when

2568
02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:29,520
Speaker 1: you get out there on Sunday, you got to remember

2569
02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:31,800
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys on the sidel and they

2570
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 1: need you to play well, and you've got to do

2571
02:03:33,640 --> 02:03:35,560
Speaker 1: it for him and that's so I think you got

2572
02:03:35,640 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 1: to go in there with that mindset, and I think

2573
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:40,080
Speaker 1: they will. I think they will. That's not to say

2574
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:42,040
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be perfect or they're gonna come out there,

2575
02:03:42,480 --> 02:03:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, breathing fire. But I'll tell you this, this

2576
02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 1: defense has got another gear and they're gonna it's gonna

2577
02:03:51,160 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 1: be hard to overcome. Even a defense like this one

2578
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:58,400
Speaker 1: who plays maybe a little flat in the beginning, they're

2579
02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna be able to turn it up really quick. So

2580
02:04:00,760 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I agree with you. I think this is

2581
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:08,040
Speaker 1: a hard game to dredge up the passion about, like

2582
02:04:08,160 --> 02:04:10,760
Speaker 1: it's really gonna be here. This team's gonna really play well.

2583
02:04:10,760 --> 02:04:13,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to do that. But that's why these guys

2584
02:04:13,280 --> 02:04:15,400
Speaker 1: are in the position they are. They play these games

2585
02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:17,080
Speaker 1: the way they're supposed to be playing, and they prepare

2586
02:04:17,120 --> 02:04:21,440
Speaker 1: for him. Let's take a call here from Steven California. Hello, Steve, welcome. Hey,

2587
02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:25,280
Speaker 1: how's it going guys? Okay? Yeah, I mean, I just

2588
02:04:25,400 --> 02:04:27,120
Speaker 1: hope we're going in there and play with the conference.

2589
02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Like you guys are just talking about, we don't fall

2590
02:04:29,400 --> 02:04:32,000
Speaker 1: to their level, you know, have that tendency like in

2591
02:04:32,080 --> 02:04:34,440
Speaker 1: the past sometimes where other, dude, Bill teams are on

2592
02:04:34,520 --> 02:04:36,760
Speaker 1: a roll and we go in with a team that

2593
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:40,080
Speaker 1: might not be as strong. When was that? When was that, Steve?

2594
02:04:40,160 --> 02:04:42,840
Speaker 1: Because nothing comes to mind when you say that it's

2595
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:44,400
Speaker 1: been so long since the Bills have been in this

2596
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:47,480
Speaker 1: position to me, Well, that's very true. But even still,

2597
02:04:47,560 --> 02:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean there's times where you go on a little run,

2598
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, and you feel like you got a good team,

2599
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:54,480
Speaker 1: like or four years ago, even like with Fitzpatrick before

2600
02:04:54,520 --> 02:04:56,560
Speaker 1: he got hurt. You know, Yeah, it was a long

2601
02:04:56,640 --> 02:04:58,840
Speaker 1: time ago. That wasn't three or four years ago. Well yeah,

2602
02:04:58,880 --> 02:05:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that's in their recent in history. That's

2603
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:02,520
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. But go ahead, What else do you

2604
02:05:02,560 --> 02:05:04,880
Speaker 1: have from Steve? Well? And I just want to see

2605
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:06,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him moved out. Ball on the ground.

2606
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, this is an opportunity to Bill got ground

2607
02:05:09,440 --> 02:05:11,800
Speaker 1: game this weekend going into the Eagles game, you know,

2608
02:05:11,960 --> 02:05:14,960
Speaker 1: and hopefully johsh doesn't make too many mistakes and keeps

2609
02:05:14,960 --> 02:05:16,880
Speaker 1: it even ko and we going out there and kick

2610
02:05:16,960 --> 02:05:18,880
Speaker 1: some bat. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's one of the

2611
02:05:18,920 --> 02:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Steve. I think one of the

2612
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:22,560
Speaker 1: important things about this game, in this offense that we've

2613
02:05:22,560 --> 02:05:25,400
Speaker 1: been talking about so much, and Brownie said it in

2614
02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:27,320
Speaker 1: the and when we asked him this in the beginning

2615
02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:28,680
Speaker 1: of the show, like what would you like to see,

2616
02:05:28,680 --> 02:05:30,240
Speaker 1: he said, Listen, this offense needs to get out of

2617
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:32,600
Speaker 1: its own way. They got to stop taking pre snap

2618
02:05:32,680 --> 02:05:36,560
Speaker 1: penalties and bad penalties post snap and even in during

2619
02:05:36,600 --> 02:05:38,680
Speaker 1: the play penalties. And they also got a quick turning

2620
02:05:38,720 --> 02:05:41,480
Speaker 1: it over. If they do those two things, you know

2621
02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:45,720
Speaker 1: their efficiency is gonna be raised exponentially. I think they're

2622
02:05:45,720 --> 02:05:47,520
Speaker 1: gonna get a big boost out of that. And I

2623
02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:49,720
Speaker 1: think this is a team that has shown the ability

2624
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:52,000
Speaker 1: to stay on the field offensively. Now I haven't scored

2625
02:05:52,040 --> 02:05:54,760
Speaker 1: a ton of points, but man, the points they have scored,

2626
02:05:54,960 --> 02:05:58,320
Speaker 1: they've grounded out and gone seventy yards plus every single drive.

2627
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:01,840
Speaker 1: So I think if they can play a clean game offensively,

2628
02:06:02,160 --> 02:06:04,720
Speaker 1: it's going to go a long way towards alleviating a

2629
02:06:04,760 --> 02:06:06,200
Speaker 1: lot of the angst that a lot of us have

2630
02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:08,600
Speaker 1: about how good they can be. Let's finish off the

2631
02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:11,280
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. It has brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

2632
02:06:11,320 --> 02:06:14,000
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills, and it's the

2633
02:06:14,040 --> 02:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Twitter question for us today. Along with the win what

2634
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:18,839
Speaker 1: do you want to see Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

2635
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:22,120
Speaker 1: Josh tweets this and just a solid win with no injuries.

2636
02:06:22,160 --> 02:06:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't need to see anyone do anything special or

2637
02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:27,000
Speaker 1: out of the norm. Just look like a team that

2638
02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:29,720
Speaker 1: deserves to be favored by sixteen and a half points.

2639
02:06:30,080 --> 02:06:32,800
Speaker 1: Win and get this game over with. Josh has had it.

2640
02:06:33,040 --> 02:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Just get this game over with. Yeah, okay, yeah, I

2641
02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:39,160
Speaker 1: don't look at the games. I love these games. I

2642
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:41,480
Speaker 1: love all these games, and I don't look at how

2643
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:43,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait till this game's over with. No, man,

2644
02:06:43,160 --> 02:06:44,920
Speaker 1: we only get sixteen to these go ahead right. And

2645
02:06:45,120 --> 02:06:46,960
Speaker 1: this is another one from Brian. He kind of sums

2646
02:06:47,040 --> 02:06:48,880
Speaker 1: up where we all are. I think with this offense,

2647
02:06:48,960 --> 02:06:50,600
Speaker 1: this is a good tweet. He says, the offense has

2648
02:06:50,640 --> 02:06:52,600
Speaker 1: moved the ball well against everybody we faced, but it

2649
02:06:52,680 --> 02:06:56,240
Speaker 1: hasn't translated into a dominant win on the scoreboard. We

2650
02:06:56,440 --> 02:07:00,480
Speaker 1: need points, points, points. I want to see our defense

2651
02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:02,880
Speaker 1: dominate the offense to score thirty plus points and for

2652
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:04,960
Speaker 1: us to cover the spread versus the worst team in

2653
02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:10,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. Simple, simple, and I think all encompassing. For

2654
02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:12,840
Speaker 1: Bills fans, you want to see the offense, take the

2655
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:15,480
Speaker 1: feeders off, get out of its way. And you know,

2656
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to call it spread

2657
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:18,680
Speaker 1: its wings. I because I don't want to see the

2658
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,600
Speaker 1: ball throw for three hundred and fifty yards that'd be

2659
02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:24,040
Speaker 1: great or whatever. I just want to see him score points, however,

2660
02:07:24,240 --> 02:07:26,440
Speaker 1: by hook or crook, you know, find a way to

2661
02:07:26,480 --> 02:07:28,800
Speaker 1: get on the scoreboard and keep going. Yeah, you know,

2662
02:07:28,960 --> 02:07:31,360
Speaker 1: don't put together a nice drive and then you know,

2663
02:07:31,480 --> 02:07:33,720
Speaker 1: pump three times in a row or turn it over

2664
02:07:33,840 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 1: twice out of three three series. You know, I want

2665
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:39,040
Speaker 1: to see him move the football and get in the

2666
02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:42,200
Speaker 1: end zone and keep doing it. You know, don't get

2667
02:07:42,240 --> 02:07:44,120
Speaker 1: in your way. Ac We haven't done this in a while.

2668
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:47,200
Speaker 1: NFL True or False brought to you by Yancy's Fancy

2669
02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:49,720
Speaker 1: New York's Artists and Cheese. Are you ready? True or false?

2670
02:07:50,200 --> 02:07:52,880
Speaker 1: The fix for NFL officiating in the news this week

2671
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:55,360
Speaker 1: with the meetings the owners meetings in Lauderdale. The fix

2672
02:07:55,480 --> 02:07:59,360
Speaker 1: for NFL officiating is to trust and empower the referees

2673
02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:05,480
Speaker 1: by eliminating replay. True true true, Train them, train them better,

2674
02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:08,040
Speaker 1: make them full time, train them, empower them, get rid

2675
02:08:08,120 --> 02:08:11,640
Speaker 1: of replay. Absolutely true. It's not been a more true thing,

2676
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:15,600
Speaker 1: true or false ever on this show. Now, well it happened,

2677
02:08:15,640 --> 02:08:17,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me why it can happen. No, we

2678
02:08:17,560 --> 02:08:20,560
Speaker 1: can't go back on, So you agree with that. I

2679
02:08:20,720 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 1: absolutely empower the refs, train them up, get them good,

2680
02:08:23,880 --> 02:08:25,879
Speaker 1: pay them a lot of money so they're good referees,

2681
02:08:25,920 --> 02:08:28,040
Speaker 1: and get rid of replay. True. I'll tell you what.

2682
02:08:28,280 --> 02:08:30,240
Speaker 1: It's hard to sit here today and say that it

2683
02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:34,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't be an improvement, right if it be any worse,

2684
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:36,000
Speaker 1: if it would take us all back to where we

2685
02:08:36,040 --> 02:08:38,800
Speaker 1: were before replay was invented anything, And then everybody's going, well,

2686
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:41,120
Speaker 1: why don't we use this to fix it? Because the

2687
02:08:41,240 --> 02:08:44,160
Speaker 1: officiating would get better? It wouldn't fix all. There'd still

2688
02:08:44,160 --> 02:08:46,520
Speaker 1: be egregious missus, they'd still be mistakes and be all that.

2689
02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:50,240
Speaker 1: But deficiating would get better in my opinion, because they wouldn't.

2690
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,200
Speaker 1: There's no safety net. They got to get it right

2691
02:08:52,280 --> 02:08:54,560
Speaker 1: and they will learn, and they were beating. I'll tell

2692
02:08:54,560 --> 02:08:56,040
Speaker 1: you this. The bad part about it is there'd be

2693
02:08:56,080 --> 02:08:58,080
Speaker 1: an adjustment period that would be hard to live through.

2694
02:08:58,800 --> 02:09:01,280
Speaker 1: But from where we sit right now, yeah, get rid

2695
02:09:01,320 --> 02:09:02,720
Speaker 1: of what the way they're doing it. Now because the

2696
02:09:02,800 --> 02:09:06,640
Speaker 1: way they're doing it now stinks because they can't even

2697
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:09,280
Speaker 1: get it right with a replay Part two, NFL True

2698
02:09:09,280 --> 02:09:11,600
Speaker 1: and false. The NFL should rethink the use of the

2699
02:09:11,680 --> 02:09:15,040
Speaker 1: sky judge. Why. No, a sky judge is just another

2700
02:09:15,200 --> 02:09:18,080
Speaker 1: form of replay sky judge, And I guess the concept

2701
02:09:18,240 --> 02:09:21,520
Speaker 1: is one referee, one extra referee who sits on site

2702
02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:24,760
Speaker 1: upstairs in the booth and can overrule anything on the

2703
02:09:24,800 --> 02:09:27,040
Speaker 1: field based on what he sees on replay. No, we

2704
02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:28,800
Speaker 1: don't need that. You don't need a sky judge. What

2705
02:09:28,920 --> 02:09:30,680
Speaker 1: they got seven or eight officials on the field now,

2706
02:09:30,760 --> 02:09:33,160
Speaker 1: we don't need to end anybody else. But I think

2707
02:09:33,200 --> 02:09:34,520
Speaker 1: if they get rid of the way they do it

2708
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:36,440
Speaker 1: now and get rid of the challenges and all of

2709
02:09:36,480 --> 02:09:38,440
Speaker 1: that stuff, I'd say the sky judge is fine. But

2710
02:09:38,440 --> 02:09:40,840
Speaker 1: they'd have to do more than just like add him.

2711
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:43,320
Speaker 1: They got to subtract a lot of stuff to get

2712
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:45,040
Speaker 1: to the sky judge. I think there's room for it.

2713
02:09:45,080 --> 02:09:46,840
Speaker 1: I think it's a better way to go than having

2714
02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:49,480
Speaker 1: the coaches on the field, the players or the fans

2715
02:09:49,640 --> 02:09:53,640
Speaker 1: or some whatever have a guide there, do it, no challenges,

2716
02:09:53,640 --> 02:09:55,360
Speaker 1: get rid of all that stuff and just use him

2717
02:09:55,400 --> 02:09:57,760
Speaker 1: and say Hey, if it was egregious, do it, then

2718
02:09:57,880 --> 02:10:01,320
Speaker 1: that's fine. But you know, adding him onto the present system,

2719
02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:03,600
Speaker 1: now you got to subtract a bunch of stuff before

2720
02:10:03,600 --> 02:10:05,440
Speaker 1: you get to the sky judge place. And one more

2721
02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:07,800
Speaker 1: Steve goes false on that one. One more on NFL

2722
02:10:07,920 --> 02:10:10,760
Speaker 1: true or false. The forty nine Ers defense makes them

2723
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:13,360
Speaker 1: super Bowl contenders. You can go first time. I'd say, yeah,

2724
02:10:13,720 --> 02:10:16,800
Speaker 1: they're really really good. They're up there with the Patriots

2725
02:10:16,840 --> 02:10:18,720
Speaker 1: with the Bills, and the Niners are right there. Their

2726
02:10:18,800 --> 02:10:22,360
Speaker 1: defensive front six or seven are awesome. They got like

2727
02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:24,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of first rounders up there, which means doesn't

2728
02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:27,280
Speaker 1: mean anything because we've all seen first rounders bust, but

2729
02:10:27,360 --> 02:10:29,720
Speaker 1: it does say one thing. The six guys they've got

2730
02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:33,000
Speaker 1: up front on their defense are all big, huge, strong

2731
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:36,800
Speaker 1: athletes who can get after it. So whatever they are

2732
02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:40,200
Speaker 1: mentally or character wise or production wise, you got a

2733
02:10:40,240 --> 02:10:43,080
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who are physical mismatches all over their front.

2734
02:10:43,120 --> 02:10:44,880
Speaker 1: So I say, yes, I got true on this one. Also,

2735
02:10:44,960 --> 02:10:47,360
Speaker 1: the Niners. I watched them go into Los Angeles and

2736
02:10:47,480 --> 02:10:50,240
Speaker 1: handle the Rams and shut down the Rams offense, which

2737
02:10:50,320 --> 02:10:52,120
Speaker 1: is hard to do these days. In the forty nine Ers,

2738
02:10:52,200 --> 02:10:55,120
Speaker 1: for sure our Super Bowl contenders a breakcare We're coming back.

2739
02:10:55,360 --> 02:10:57,960
Speaker 1: It is One Bills Live presented by Kalaida Health Line

2740
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:01,960
Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts Casino. Nothing comes close,

2741
02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:16,800
Speaker 1: all right? So what have we learned? What have we

2742
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:19,640
Speaker 1: learned from today's show? It has brought to you by Skyworks,

2743
02:11:19,680 --> 02:11:23,919
Speaker 1: the official construction company, and I'm sorry, the official equipment

2744
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:26,760
Speaker 1: rental company, not even close of the Buffalo Bills construction

2745
02:11:26,800 --> 02:11:29,960
Speaker 1: equipment Rental. Skyworks brings you what have we learned from today?

2746
02:11:29,960 --> 02:11:32,040
Speaker 1: We had a jam pack show. I feel like we're

2747
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:33,600
Speaker 1: just getting going on this show, you know what I mean.

2748
02:11:33,760 --> 02:11:36,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on, and we're starting a crescendo

2749
02:11:36,440 --> 02:11:40,000
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins against Miami week. I am an og

2750
02:11:40,200 --> 02:11:44,680
Speaker 1: man because I'm still like, start to grip my teeth

2751
02:11:45,240 --> 02:11:48,600
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins. So far, get a good show today,

2752
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:50,280
Speaker 1: and what have we learned? Steve Christie joined his former

2753
02:11:50,320 --> 02:11:52,960
Speaker 1: Bills kicker. We asked him. Steve asked him about the

2754
02:11:53,040 --> 02:11:55,160
Speaker 1: state of kicking in the NFL these days. Here's what

2755
02:11:55,280 --> 02:11:58,600
Speaker 1: he said. You know, I think though the new Pah

2756
02:11:58,880 --> 02:12:01,440
Speaker 1: rule has really changed things for the guys. You know,

2757
02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:03,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's not that far

2758
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:05,560
Speaker 1: of a kick, but I think mentally the extra point

2759
02:12:05,640 --> 02:12:08,040
Speaker 1: being so far back it is getting into some heads.

2760
02:12:09,640 --> 02:12:11,760
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, it's

2761
02:12:11,920 --> 02:12:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, you guys play golf, and it's you know

2762
02:12:13,840 --> 02:12:15,960
Speaker 1: what you want to keep the same swing, keep your

2763
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:19,040
Speaker 1: head down, follow through, and you know, do your job.

2764
02:12:19,080 --> 02:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Get out there and don't be distracted by everything else.

2765
02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:24,240
Speaker 1: And anytime you have an opportunity to win the game,

2766
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:26,440
Speaker 1: that's what you want. Get out there and finish it

2767
02:12:26,520 --> 02:12:28,720
Speaker 1: for your team. That's what that's why we get paid

2768
02:12:28,760 --> 02:12:31,000
Speaker 1: to do what we do, and uh, you know, get

2769
02:12:31,040 --> 02:12:33,320
Speaker 1: out there and do your job. Steve Christy. We also

2770
02:12:33,360 --> 02:12:35,560
Speaker 1: had Thurman Thomas on the show Hall of Fame Running Back.

2771
02:12:35,760 --> 02:12:37,600
Speaker 1: We asked him a question we were asking our listeners

2772
02:12:37,600 --> 02:12:39,400
Speaker 1: two days ago. Do the Bills need to make a

2773
02:12:39,520 --> 02:12:42,920
Speaker 1: trade before the October twenty ninth NFL trade deadline. Here's

2774
02:12:42,920 --> 02:12:47,200
Speaker 1: what Therman things. It was just McDermot and random being

2775
02:12:47,280 --> 02:12:50,640
Speaker 1: got here. They've been doing I think everything exactly the

2776
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:52,960
Speaker 1: way that they want to be wanted to be done,

2777
02:12:53,200 --> 02:12:54,880
Speaker 1: and at this point in time they may feel like,

2778
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:57,919
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't need anybody, We don't need anybody.

2779
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:02,600
Speaker 1: But there's always a possibility that that something might happen

2780
02:13:03,320 --> 02:13:05,760
Speaker 1: a week or two before the deadline, to say your deadline,

2781
02:13:05,800 --> 02:13:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, a player might get injured or whatever. And

2782
02:13:07,840 --> 02:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure, like these guys have done throughout the process

2783
02:13:11,600 --> 02:13:15,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL Draft and everything like that, they already

2784
02:13:15,200 --> 02:13:17,880
Speaker 1: know what they want to do. Yeah, And I think

2785
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:20,120
Speaker 1: that's true. But I also think they're open and seeing

2786
02:13:20,200 --> 02:13:22,240
Speaker 1: what's out there. Right. I think they will, yeah, And

2787
02:13:22,320 --> 02:13:25,040
Speaker 1: it's not so much anything He's right. I think right

2788
02:13:25,080 --> 02:13:27,240
Speaker 1: now they're they're ready to go with who they got.

2789
02:13:27,320 --> 02:13:30,800
Speaker 1: If they stay healthy, they feel really good about their roster.

2790
02:13:30,960 --> 02:13:34,120
Speaker 1: But here's the thing that we that's so unpredictable, and

2791
02:13:34,160 --> 02:13:36,720
Speaker 1: certainly things could happen to your team, but something's always

2792
02:13:36,760 --> 02:13:39,760
Speaker 1: happening around the league to other teams, which means somebody's

2793
02:13:39,920 --> 02:13:42,240
Speaker 1: going to be on the block, or things are changing,

2794
02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:43,760
Speaker 1: or is going to be a good player, and another

2795
02:13:43,800 --> 02:13:46,480
Speaker 1: team says, I want out of here. Something happened, So

2796
02:13:46,560 --> 02:13:48,360
Speaker 1: they got to keep their no ear to the ground

2797
02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:51,600
Speaker 1: around the league to find out what's going on with

2798
02:13:51,720 --> 02:13:54,080
Speaker 1: other teams. It's not just about you. Good show coming
