1 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields. 2 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: player for you state Steve a blimp. We're not even 4 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy here. It is a 5 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: game day Tuesday here on one Bills Live Chris Brown, 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, getting you ready for that game 7 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 1: that's gonna kick off in Nashville in about seven hours time. 8 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: As we're getting to look at that building right now, 9 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium, where the Bills will be taking on the Titans. 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: No new positive tests this morning from Monday's round of 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: testing for the Titans. So the game is on. It 12 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: will be played, and it looks as though the Titans 13 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: will not have more than a handful of players available 14 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: for this game. They will remain on the COVID nineteen 15 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: reserve list, and among the more notable names Jeffrey Simmons, 16 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle, Corey Davis and Adam Humphreys the two 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: chief slot receivers for them on the offensive side of 18 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: the ball. Michael Prewitt, who is an h back and 19 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: lines up in the backfield a lot, and their fullback 20 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: blossing game will not is not expected to be off 21 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen list to be available for Tonight's game. Either, 22 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 1: it does look like a J. Brown and Taylor Luan 23 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: will go so a big receiving threat and a deep 24 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: threat back in the lineup tonight and Luan is expected 25 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: to line up at left tackle after what amounts to 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: a seventeen day layoff due to their COVID outbreak. And 27 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: we also saw that it came down this morning that 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: the league sent out a new, updated, seventy eight page 29 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: COVID protocol list and I got admit, I skinned it, 30 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: skimmed it. There's more things to is, like, can scroll 31 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: past it all walkthrough practices that teams have, many of 32 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: those typically take place on Saturdays. Every person on the 33 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: field has to wear a mask for the entire walkthrough. 34 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: That's just one of the many additional measures that the 35 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: league is taking to prevent something like what happened to 36 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: the Titans from happening again. Yeah, and that's what that's 37 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: really what I think. What happened to the Titans one guy, 38 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: And what I've heard is that there's one player you got, 39 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: and like everybody who goes to work these days, you 40 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: always fill out these little forms like have you come 41 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: into contact with anybody who might have and did it. 42 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: If you travel into contact with anybody who's traveled here 43 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: or there, you know all the questionnaires that you fell out, 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: plus you get your temperature taken and some people are 45 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: more stringent than that and obviously have to wear a mask. 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: And all that was somebody, it seems though one of 47 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: the players or staff members wasn't fully honest and he 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: didn't feel that well that day, and he says, there's 49 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: no way this is COVID, right, So he comes in 50 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: and he spreads it around not thinking it's COVID, and 51 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it comes out and yeah, 52 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: it's It was a disaster. So I mean, how I mean, 53 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: it's been eight months. Man, we're all into together. I mean, 54 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: we don't kind of know what we're supposed to do. 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: Hand sanitize. It never changes and you kind of get 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: used to doing it. Among the other highlights of the 57 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: changes under the NFL's new additional protocols, In addition to 58 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: masks being worn for all walkthrough practices, coaches must wear masks, masks, 59 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: or double layered gators during games. They can wear a 60 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: shield in addition to but not in lieu of other 61 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: face coverings. NFL Security is going to begin conducting protocol 62 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: compliance checks starting in week seven, where teams will be 63 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: required to supply internal video upon request so they can 64 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: check to make sure teams are in full compliance and 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: GM John Robinson of the Titans was asked, where have 66 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: you guys come up short that potentially led to this outbreak, 67 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: and he said, we did not have one hundred percent 68 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: mask compliance and they asked him, well, what do you 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: mean by that specifically, and actually in his video conference call, 70 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: he demonstrated he put a mask on. He said, what 71 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: I would see in the hallways you know, from our 72 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: players is guys with the mask pulled down off of 73 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: their nose, so it was only covering their mouth, or 74 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: even worse, it was being worn like a chin strap 75 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: and not covering anything. And that puts the other people 76 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: around you in danger from getting something from you when 77 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: you may not know your COVID positive or not, and 78 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't protect you from other people. So he said 79 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: that they've been very diligent since then to make sure 80 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: they are in one percent compliance. But that's what those 81 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: videos submissions are going to be checking for. When the 82 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: league says Hey, hand us your footage. We want to 83 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: make sure your mask compliant, protocol compliant, etc. And you're 84 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: trying to you're hoping the best case scenario and to 85 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: spend this as positive as you can. After the Tennessee thing, 86 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: maybe everybody else is like whoa, whoa, whoa. We don't 87 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: want to go through that, and they'll start, you know, 88 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: battening down the hatches, so to speak, and tightening up 89 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: their protocols everything. But you're right, I mean, they're going 90 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: to continue to tweak this, and the League has been 91 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: on time. You know, there's always those on Twitter who 92 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: are on the sidelines of life with a fake name, 93 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: throwing darts at everybody else who's doing stuff, you know, 94 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: and so you're gonna and and there's no question they 95 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: deserve a little criticism for not being more diligent. But 96 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: but the League has done a pretty good job of 97 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: getting this thing off the ground first and foremost, but 98 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: also now tweaking the protocols and making sure everybody's and 99 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, just continually changing and evolving the protocols and 100 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: getting them better and best practices and and enhancing the 101 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: punishments and incentives to comply with these protocols. All of 102 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: that stuff is on the is on the table now, 103 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: and it's the penalties are increasing, the diligence and accountability 104 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: is increasing, and it gives you, you know, every time 105 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: you hear something positive, it gives you optimism that it's 106 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: going to work. And then of course then every time 107 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: you hear somebody's got a negative that you think it's 108 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna get worse. But I think the best you can 109 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: the best you can hope for right now, Brownie, going 110 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: forward with the rest of the season is it will 111 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: be everything. But the Tennessee outbreak, it'll be like a 112 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: positive here, a positive there, you know, and nobody else 113 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: gets it, you know, nobody else does no and then 114 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: late in the week nobody gets these these outbreaks later 115 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: or nobody has a positive on game day, that kind 116 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: of thing. So up until now, even with the Tennessee outbreak, 117 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: it's it's been about as good as you could expect. Yeah, 118 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: And we had a caller yesterday who was complaining, saying, 119 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: how come they're not testing these players on game day. 120 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: I don't understand that they're doing it now. As we 121 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: mentioned on the show yesterday, it is one of the 122 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: new changes and people say, well, how is that going 123 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: to help. You're not going to get a result back 124 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: in time to pull somebody out of a game. No, 125 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: you're not. The main purpose of it is to close 126 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: up a loophole and a gap in the system. I mean, 127 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: let's think about this. That's Titans staffer who was discovered 128 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: as positive on Tuesday after their game Sunday against the Vikings. 129 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: He would have been discovered as a positive on Monday 130 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: if he got tested on game day. But because they 131 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: weren't doing testing on game day three weeks ago, there 132 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: was a loophole there. And so this is the league's 133 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: efforts to close that loophole. And so the bills at 134 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: their hotel today are going to be tested as part 135 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: of the daily testing regiment. It now includes game day testing. 136 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: Now those results won't come in until tomorrow morning, but 137 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: they're there to kind of close that arguably a forty 138 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: eight hour window where you don't know the status of anybody. 139 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: It allows him to get to a finer point their 140 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: contact tracing as well, going backwards. Absolutely, so that will 141 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: narrow the field when it goes back and say hey 142 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: are you you and you you also have to sit 143 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: out because you were in contact or close proximity to 144 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: the person who tested positive. So you three guys are 145 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: also going to have to be sequestered. And then when 146 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: you get out and if one or two of them 147 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: get it and nobody else does, he got it right. 148 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: So that's also why you know they want to do this. 149 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I think that the Tennessee outbreak really 150 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: got him to straighten up, I think a little bit 151 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: and focus and also just you know, give a secondary 152 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: commitment to going further with testing and protocols and accountability. 153 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: And the staffer for the Titans who tested positive on 154 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: Sunday two days ago from Saturday's testing, John Robinson, the 155 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: GM for the Titans, on his conference call yesterday, he 156 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: said that through their tracing efforts, they did tie one 157 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: of their players as being in relatively close proximity to 158 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: that positive test staffer, and even though he had no 159 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: symptoms and had tested negative for each of the past 160 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: couple of days, they pulled him out of the practice 161 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: setting and isolated him out of an abundance of caution. 162 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: There was no need for them to do that, but 163 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: they said, hey, look we've been through the ringer here 164 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: the last seventeen days let's just sit this guy on 165 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: the side out of an abundance of caution, so we 166 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: don't walk down this path again because of you know, 167 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: some it seems a tim chance. It seems like the 168 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: smart thing to do. If if he's above the line 169 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: in proximity to a guy who has tested positive, Yeah, 170 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: that should be the produce he was saying. I mean, 171 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: Robinson was talking about it like, well, he didn't have 172 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: to be, but we decided to remove him and he 173 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: was not at practice yesterday. That's just so, that's just yeah, 174 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: you gotta be proactive here. You can't be reactive with 175 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: this virus because if you're reactive to this virus, you're 176 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: gonna be way behind and it's gonna take you a 177 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: long time to catch up and get a handle on it, 178 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: as we've seen with the Tennessee Titans. Eight oh three 179 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: five fifty phone lines wide open for you today as 180 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: we will not be getting a guin, so the lines 181 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: are open for you until one o'clock. One o'clock we 182 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: get our weekly visit from Good Morning Football's Kyle Brando. 183 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: Is a fun segment, and I think it's gonna be 184 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: even more fun on a game day. How about that 185 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 1: for timing right, So we'll have Kyle Branton in the 186 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: one o'clock hour, and then at two o'clock Jay Feeling 187 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: from CBS who is doing the game tonight with Tom McCarthy, 188 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: So he'll be joining us in the two o'clock hour 189 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: as they'll be doing the game tonight, and we'll get 190 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: his thoughts as he's camped out in Nashville and ready 191 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: to go, right, So that'll be a good chat with 192 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: him and we look forward to that that. It's all 193 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: different for the crews of these CBS crews that come 194 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: into everything. All their meetings or production meetings are done 195 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: remotely and zoom. Then we're gonna watch practice like they 196 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: used to it. It's basically they come in used to 197 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: be in a normal year. They come in and they're 198 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: just part of They're like part of the organization. They 199 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: come in, they spend the whole day here on Friday 200 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: in your building, talking to players, watching a practice, going 201 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: to practice. They don't go to meetings or anything, but 202 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: they have meetings with whatever hand interviews. Sit down, right, 203 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: they sit down and like as close as Brownie as 204 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: I and I are sitting across this desk together, as 205 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: I Scoot lou further way, they sit down and go 206 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: face to face with these guys and have you know, 207 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: pretty forth right conversations. Some groups are and some teams 208 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: are better than others, but it's everything's different now, and 209 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: I can't imagine how difficult or how much differently they 210 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: have to do their job than they have in the 211 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: past to be color analysts in the booth. Yeah, so 212 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: Jay will join us at two o'clock. And what we're 213 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: throwing out to you on the Twitter poll at one 214 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: Bill's Live on Twitter is what or who do you 215 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: want to see step up against the Titans tonight? And 216 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you mine right off the pad, Steve, 217 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: It's Tyrell Dodson. I want him to be even better 218 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: than he was in the Dolphins game because I think 219 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: he has to be, especially in the run front. But 220 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: I do not want him to fall him to those 221 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: play action fakes as much as he did in his 222 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: first career start. You can understand him wanting to be overaggressive, 223 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: but he flashed in that game against the Dolphins. I 224 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: want to see him put a start to finish type 225 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: performance together and really helping the run front here. Knowing 226 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: that this Titan's offensive line. You know, they like punching 227 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: people in the mouth, getting after people, even the guys 228 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: at the second level. So I want to see Dotson 229 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: have a day or a night as it were. Now 230 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: he's playing in a different spot. It's presumed, you know, 231 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: Edmonds is gonna line up at his normal spot and 232 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: then Dotson will take Malano's place on the week side, 233 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: So you know, hopefully he takes to that one as 234 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: well as he did to the mic. So off we go. 235 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: But I'm hoping that he steps up tonight and plays 236 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: a gigantic game for them defensively, Yeah, I would like 237 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: to see that as well. I think another guy, I 238 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: think I stick to the other side of the ball, 239 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: maybe because that's kind of the side of the ball 240 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: that I spent all my time on as a player. 241 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: I think I would love to see Gabe Davis, Gabriel 242 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Davis have a night tonight. I think this is going 243 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: to be a game where I think the Bill's offense 244 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: is going to need to flex a little bit. They're 245 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: gonna lean on those guys. The Titan defense is not 246 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: highly ranked. They've given up a ton of yards on 247 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: the ground and through the air, and they're shorthand is 248 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: I think this is a game where you need everybody 249 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: on the ye. Now. I think if Gabriel Davis has 250 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: a big game, that doesn't mean I don't think anybody 251 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: else is going to. I think there's going to be 252 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: some numbers thrown around. But I think if Gabe Davis 253 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: has a big game, I think it the trickle down 254 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: effect or the trickle up effect up to you know, 255 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: particularly if John Brown is not in the game, but 256 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: with Steph Diggs and Cole Beasley, and if Gabe Davis 257 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: steps in in place of John Brown and they don't 258 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: have the ability to go four wide because of it, 259 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: I think Gabriel Davis is even a bigger percentage of 260 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: what they need to happen tonight offensively. Yeah, So John 261 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: Brown is questionable for Tonight's game with that calf injury. 262 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: He was able to play start to finished last week. 263 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: Did get a few extra days to rest it up 264 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: with this game being on Tuesday. So and they did 265 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: not call up Duke Williams from the practice squad. Because 266 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: every single week, as Steve and I discussed yesterday on 267 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: the show, every single week this season they have had 268 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: all six of their receivers on the active roster dress 269 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: So my feeling is if there was any danger of 270 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: one of those receivers not being available, as we also 271 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: see Andre Roberts on the injury list for our MSG 272 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: viewers at home, I think they would have called up 273 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: Duke Williams to be the sixth receiver, and they didn't 274 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: do that. So to me, that's an indication that hopefully 275 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: with these extra couple of days before they're playing on 276 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: Tuesday here, that robertson Brown will be good to go, right. 277 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know that they would have called up 278 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: Duke if because you know, somebody's got to leave. I 279 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: don't know who that would be true, you know, and 280 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: you can make room for Duke, but that means or 281 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, somebody's got to sit, whether it'd be one 282 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: of the tight ends, you know, Gilliam or you know, 283 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: something like that. Least maybe Lee Smith's not active or 284 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: go goes whatever, goes to the practice squad even who knows, 285 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: but because of the changed rules, he can do that. 286 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know where they would go light to 287 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: get the sixth guy on and not not deactivate you know, 288 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: John brownbeach for one game. Yeah, they did promote Dion 289 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: Lacy from the practice squad late yesterday afternoon because they 290 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: put del Sean Phillips on I R, so he will 291 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: presumably take his spot on special teams, a veteran special 292 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: teams player who's been called up once already this season 293 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: to phill a role. So, you know, Lacy a veteran player. 294 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: They know that he knows his assignments and his role 295 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: in this scheme, so he'll be lined up and suited 296 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: up for the game to night and play a role 297 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: on special teams, while Phillips, who's been battling the quad 298 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: injury for the better part of the last two weeks, 299 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: is going to be on IR and missed the next 300 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: three games at least with that IR designation now, So 301 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: a change there on special teams for tonight's game. Let's 302 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: go to the phones at eight oh three oh five 303 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty to 304 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: join us here, and we lead off with Mark and Tonawanda. Mark, 305 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you have? Hey? Guys, 306 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. Actually agree with Steve for 307 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: once in my life, I'm excited for this Bill's offense 308 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: and over the defense with Trey White and Melano being 309 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: questionable going into this game. I think it's like, when 310 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: was the last time we put the onus on the 311 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: offense and we relied on them to win US football games. 312 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: It's an exciting time and at credit to Brian Dable 313 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: and I'm just looking forward and it sets up Saturday 314 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: because I'd love to see Mahomes and Alan kind of 315 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: go back and forth. That's the kind of football I 316 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: want to see. But I'm gonna have to listen. Thanks guys, Okay, 317 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: we appreciate the call. Yeah, I mean it is a 318 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: different world that Bills fans are living in right now 319 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: because they have a real NFL offense that can hang 320 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: with just about anybody, or at least they've demonstrated that 321 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: to this point. I will say this, I think this 322 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: is one of the better pass rushing teams that they 323 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: face so far this season. If you look at the 324 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: first four opponents they've faced, outside of Aaron Donald and 325 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: that crew there, there hasn't been a tremendous amount of 326 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: pressure on Josh Allen. The Jets had trouble generating pressure. 327 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: You know. Week two, Miami had trouble generating pressure because 328 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: they don't have any speed rushers that can bend the edge. 329 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: And even last week the Raiders, though they have guys 330 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: you know they can get to the quarterback, they had 331 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: trouble doing that last week. And maybe it's a credit 332 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: to the offensive line in their pass blocking ability more 333 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: than anything else. But I think there may be instances tonight, 334 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, between Jadeveon Clowney and Harold Landry. I mean 335 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: we're talking about first round talent here out of the 336 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: draft from years ago. That can cause problems at times. 337 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: I do think the absence of Jeffrey Simmons, they're beast 338 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: of a defensive tackle. That is a loss for them, 339 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: a giant loss. Now they get to Kwon Jones back 340 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: off the COVID reserve list, which helps fill that hole 341 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: to some extent, but he is not the athlete that 342 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: Simmons is, So that is a loss for them. For 343 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of ways you can slice this game 344 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: up that and I know Bills fans do this and 345 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: some do and some don't. I mean, there you have, 346 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: We're all we fall fall into two camps. You slice 347 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: it in favor of the Bills or use dice it 348 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: against the Bills. Right, So, there's a lot of ways 349 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: you can slice and dice this game and talk yourself 350 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: into a Bills win, and out of a Bills win, 351 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: and into the Titans being a really good team, and 352 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: out of that fact the I mean, look at this. 353 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: You and I were talking just before we came on 354 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: the air. The Titans are beaten three guys. They're three 355 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: and oh. We all know that. They beat the they 356 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: beat Denver, Jacksonville, Minnesota. Each of those teams has one 357 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: win on the season. Jacksonville's one and four, Minnesota's one 358 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: and four, Denver's one and three, and so it combined 359 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: three and eleven. They have one of the Bills opponents. 360 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: The Bills opponents are nine and eleven. Yeah, and if 361 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: they were able to beat Tennessee, they're twelve and eleven. 362 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: They're opponents. Yeah, and that would be the best winning 363 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: percentage for an undefeated team against their opponents. You best 364 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: right now already it's already they have already the best 365 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: winning percentage, Uh, the most difficult opponent. They're the undefeated 366 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: team with the hardest there you go, hardest opponents. Strength 367 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: is scape what say it again? I don't think I 368 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: did anything right. The record of their opponents is the 369 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: best among the undefeated teams there. That's it. So they've 370 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: they've got they're making some hey, uh, and the Tennessee 371 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: Titans have Just as much as you want to give 372 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: the Titans their due, the Titans aren't looking past this 373 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: game at all. Man. This is a big one for them, 374 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: a big one. So if if they can, uh, you know, 375 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: if the Titans show up like they want to, they're 376 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: gonna have. They're gonna have to bring everything to beat 377 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: a Bill's team that is really and I they're a 378 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: handful offensively. The Bills are really good on offense. Yeah, 379 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: all right, let's go back to the phones. We'll go 380 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: to Chris in Geneseo. Chris, Chris, you're already on go ahead, 381 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. How's it going, guys? I was 382 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: just wondering what your thoughts on Josh Allen for MVP is. 383 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: Do we really think that he has a chance against 384 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson? The season? It all? You 385 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: know what, Chris, You know what, it depends on how 386 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: good this team does. The best guy from the best 387 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: team usually wins, usually wins it. And if the Bills 388 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: go if the Bills go thirteen and three, fourteen and two, 389 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs go twelve and four, eleven and five, 390 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson and their and their crew go, you know, 391 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: thirteen and three, and the Bills go fourteen and two. 392 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: Something like that. That's where you're at. That's where you're at. 393 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: And if they have identical records of thirteen and three, 394 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: it'll just be strictly a numbers problem. I mean, look 395 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: at Lamar Jackson last year. You know, he goes, that 396 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,239 Speaker 1: team goes fourteen and two. He lights it up from 397 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: a rushing perspective, does a ton from a passing perspective 398 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: plays well? And nationally televised games the Monday night game 399 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: against the Rams, I think, I mean they carved him up, 400 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: what was it, thirty eight to fourteen that game. I 401 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: mean it was an embarrassment in it on the road. 402 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: They did that against the Rams. So I think, uh, 403 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: I think those types of performances if he can play 404 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: well in those you know, nationally televised games, one of 405 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: which is tonight because it's the only game on UM, yeah, 406 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 1: I mean I think he's got a shot at it. 407 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: But I agree with Steve. It's how it's how the 408 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: season finishes up for them. That's going to largely determine 409 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: how much how much credit he gets. Yeah, how big 410 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: a part of the conversation for MVP for him depends. Yeah, 411 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: if he continues to play like he has and the 412 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: team wins. Now, he could play like he has and 413 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: the team go you know, ten and five or ten 414 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: and six, he won't get it. He won't get it 415 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: because somebody will go twelve and four and they're and 416 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: they'll have comparable numbers, and that that's what will come 417 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: down to. All right, let's go back to the phones. 418 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: We go to Bob and Hamburg. Bob, what do you 419 00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: have for us? Thanks for joining the Showy very excited 420 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: about the game tonight on a Tuesday, mainly because they 421 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: don't have to watch the real high swaves of some 422 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: county today. But my real question is to you guys, 423 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: is what you thought about how the Raiders kind of 424 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: man handled Kansas City last week? And is that now 425 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: a blueprint looking forward at how to be Kansas City? Well, 426 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean it could be. You know, I think that 427 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people go to a lot of people 428 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: in this league go to school on what Bill Belichick 429 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: usually draws up for defenses, and I mean the Raiders 430 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: game aside the week before the Patriots had to go 431 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: into Kansas City and play the Chiefs without Cam Newton 432 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: and what was that game at halftime? Six to three. Yeah, 433 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: people are going to go to school on how to 434 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: play defense off Belichick, and maybe to a certain extent, 435 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: they go to school on what Gruden did on offense 436 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: to take the cut, you know, the top off off 437 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: of that defense with Henry Ruggs, who by the way, 438 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: was not playing against the Bills who weeks ago. That's 439 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: an element that they added to the arsenal last week 440 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs in it and it paid off in 441 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: a big way. I mean, that kid's leading the league 442 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: in forty plus yard receptions this year and he's only 443 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: played in three games. So yeah, that's right, and yeah, 444 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: there there will be. Here's how it works. They will 445 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: go to school and say, hey, what do the Raider? 446 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: What were the Raiders trying to do and why were 447 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: they trying to do it? What were the Patriots trying 448 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,239 Speaker 1: to do and why were they trying to do what 449 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: they did? And you'll decipher that. Then you extrapolate what 450 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: their talent is where their guys where their star players are, 451 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: and how does that mix with where your star players use? 452 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: Can we use some of that? Do we have a 453 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: guy good enough to do what their really good guy 454 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: did against that Chiefs team. That's where you kind of 455 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: mesh and where you can take and you can use 456 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: some and you can't use some of what each team 457 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: does against a different opponent or common opponents. So that's 458 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: how it usually works. And now there will be some 459 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: things that the Bills can do that the Raiders did, 460 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: and there'll be some things that the Patriots did as well. 461 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: Most of it will be philosophical because in some ways, 462 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: you know, the Bill's talent isn't the same as the 463 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: as the Raider defense, and it's not the same as 464 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: the Patriot defense talent wise, but philosophically, you can always 465 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: call the same defense. But how it meshes with your 466 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: talent and where you're really good players are and where 467 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: the ones you're trying to cover four are, that's where 468 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: it diverges in your game plan. Yep. Back to the phones. 469 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: At eight O three five fifty, we go to Dave 470 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: and Henrietta. Dave, what do you have for us? Thanks 471 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: for joining the show? All right, Chris and Steve, thanks 472 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: for having me. You bet yeah. I like what you 473 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: said about the linebacker coming in and filling in there 474 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: for Milano. Collectively, I think the whole front seven, specifically tonight, 475 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: needs to step up the stuff that run game. I 476 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: think if they do it, it becomes a one dimensional game, 477 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: and I think that the Bills will actually blow them 478 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: out if they can do that them out. Okay, they've 479 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: played a lot of tight games this year due in 480 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: part to the fact that they haven't been able to 481 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: stop anybody, and their offense has come up with answers 482 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: more often than not. I think the Titans as an offense, 483 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: and Dave, thanks for the call. I think the Titans 484 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: as an offense don't function the same way the Bills do. 485 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: The Bills have the big chunk plays that can get 486 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: them down the field in a hurry, and the Titans 487 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: have that on occasion. But their field stretchers have been 488 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: Caliph Raymond, who's a young player, has not even had 489 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: an NFL start under his belt. Now A J. Brown 490 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: is supposed to come back into the fold. That helps 491 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: them in terms of stretching the field because because he's 492 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: a monster, So maybe they have an added ability to 493 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: do that, especially if they fall behind. But more often 494 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: than not, they have been working the passing game in 495 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: the intermediate range and mixing that with their run game 496 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: to kind of as you know they used to say 497 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,479 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, matriculate the ball down the field, right, um, 498 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: And that's how they usually put their points on the board. Yeah, 499 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: you get a J. Brown on the field, he's six 500 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: foot two hundred and twenty six pounds, and Corey Davis 501 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: is six three two o nine. They Cory Davis isn't 502 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: playing right. So and then the other guy, this rookie 503 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook, do you have a kind He's a six 504 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: two two eleven guy. Then the guy you just mentioned, 505 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: Khalif Raymond, he's like Isaiah McKenzie. He's like five eight 506 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: buck eighty. So they do have some bigger guys that 507 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: they can go to, particularly when a J. Brown's on 508 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: the field, he's he's gonna help them tonight. But this 509 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: defense for the Bills, their strength has always been keeping 510 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: a lid on the big plays, and they have always 511 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: forced offenses to go the long way to the goal line, 512 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: play a field position game, and if you can put 513 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: a fourteen play drive together, Hey, God bless you, but 514 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: we're thinking on one of these third mediums, you're gonna 515 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: miss up and off the field. And that's what it has, 516 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: and it works, and it's hard for an offense to 517 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: put long sustained drives like that together on a consistent basis. 518 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: And with the Bills offense playing the way they are, 519 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: this Bill's defense is even more app to play that way. 520 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: You know, Hey, you want to take your time moving 521 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: the ball down the field, that's fine by us. We 522 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: got a team that can go eight seventy five yards 523 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,479 Speaker 1: on seven plays and put seven on the board. So 524 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: you want to take fourteen plays and kick a field goal, 525 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: we're all four that, right, yeah, because we'll take We'll 526 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: take our five to seven plays, go seventy five yards 527 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: and it'll take you know, two minutes and thirty two 528 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: seconds off the clock. So it's it's a The Bills 529 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: are there now. They haven't been there for a long time. Listen, 530 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: we all know that. That's why this is so fun. 531 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: You got got this quarterback with all of these guys, 532 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: and they're on it. I mean they are, they are 533 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: on it. They're converting third and eighteen, So they're converting 534 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: third and twenty fives late in a game when they 535 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: gotta have it. They're snapping off chunk plays. Their quarterback 536 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: is making unbelievable throws every so often. And then not 537 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: only is he making these unbelievable throws that we saw 538 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: him make a little bit early in his career, but 539 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: now the easy throws look easy. Yeah, And there that's 540 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: the difference. And there is a decided edge on third 541 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: down for the Pills in this game. I mean, the 542 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: Bills are converting at a rate of better than fifty percent. 543 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: It's sixth in the league. And the Titans can't stop 544 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: anybody at third down. They are twenty ninth in third 545 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: down defense. They cannot get off the field, and that's 546 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: why they've given up as many points as they have, 547 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: and that's why they've won their three games by the 548 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: skin of their team. You can talk yourself into a 549 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: really positive and optimistic scenario if you're a Bills fan 550 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: on this game, even though they're a three and o team. 551 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: Are the Titans. They haven't been in the building for 552 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: thirteen days, They've had two walkthroughs in the last fourteen days. 553 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: There they've got all kinds of distractions. Now they certainly have. 554 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: Like I said, and I've said that they're gonna they're 555 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: gonna be refreshed getting on the field. It's gonna be 556 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: a release for them, and you're gonna see it at 557 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: least early in this game where they're gonna come out 558 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: and hit the Bills in the mouth. But the Bills, 559 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: I mean, statistically, they are opponents that they faced and beaten. 560 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: The way they've won these games, the consistency that they 561 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: have shown in every down and distant situation, They're just 562 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: it's hard to talk yourself out of this Bills team 563 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: being a really good squad who is going to play 564 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: well week in week out, and that includes this one. 565 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: So if the Bill you think, if this Bills team 566 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: goes in there and plays very well, the Tennessee team 567 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: is not going to be able to put it together 568 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: enough to beat them after having thirteen days off eight 569 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two, 570 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: five fifty to get on board with us talk this 571 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: game tonight, as we are asking you who do you 572 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: want to see step up against the Titans, Knowing the 573 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: Bills could be without a couple of key players. We 574 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: already know Matt Milano is out for this game. Tradevious 575 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: White questionable. We'll find out the inactives probably around five 576 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: thirty pm tonight in terms of who is and who 577 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: is not dressing for tonight's game. But Mike and Rochester, 578 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: Drew and Grand Island, David Hamburg, hang tight. We'll get 579 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: to you in the next segment.

He's right, it's everything's wanky. Yeah about 596 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: this thing. Usually you're getting ready to turn the page 597 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: to the next game, and that's not the case. It's 598 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: game night, let's go. This is usually the day when 599 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: I get my boards printed. This is this is a 600 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: week old. This is the thing might be worthless right now, 601 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: it'll light it on fire. Yeah, and uh so there 602 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: that isn't But I was talking to Murphy, he's the same. 603 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: It's because for most people who haven't kept up on this, 604 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: we are not allowed as is. No radio crew in 605 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: the league is allowed to travel, so we do. The 606 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: game is not traveling either. Media is not traveling. No 607 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 1: media's travel nobody's traveled with these teams. So we're in 608 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: the booth that we would were the home radio booth 609 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: here at bill Stadium. Well, then the same place we 610 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: are in a live game when it's a home game, 611 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: we're in the stadium. That's so that's where we're at tonight, 612 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: and we have a feed that is not delayed. Plus 613 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: we got a couple of different angles. You know, we 614 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: got you wish you had our setup at your house, 615 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: I mean right, So so we've got that all done, 616 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: and so Murph and we're getting kind of into a 617 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: routine now because we have and you know what I 618 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: gotta remember now, I was talking to Murf, I gotta 619 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: bundle up. Yeah, night game. Yeah, because we have the 620 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: windows open and stuff, because we have the screens are 621 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: outside the Yeah, they're just outside on an out shelf there, right, 622 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: So we're not enough room, right, We're the stadium's vacant. No, 623 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean like no, nobody forget about like ushers and 624 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. When there's no fans. It's like 625 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: we're the only light on in the entire entire buildings. 626 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: So we're getting ready for that. And I was talking 627 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: to Murph and we're thinking, this is a game. Murs. 628 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: He thinks this is gonna be like the fans here. 629 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: He thinks be a walk. I think, m I think 630 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna and it's I don't know. I'm I don't 631 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: know about a walk. I can't get myself there. They're 632 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: too good. This team's got too much physical I think 633 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: if they get up early and you get to the 634 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: third quarter and the conditioning starts to affect this team, 635 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: then yes, I think they could win by a couple 636 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: of touchdowns, but I'm not anticipating that. I think this 637 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: is gonna The Titans are the kind of team that 638 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: force you to grind out wins, like you got to 639 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: grind it out all the way to beat them. Just 640 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: think about last year's game, and I know the offense 641 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: is a much different story this year. And maybe they 642 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: do get up a couple of quick touchdowns, and you know, 643 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: the Titans have to come out of their conservative approach 644 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: on offense and start airing the thing out to try 645 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: to stay in the game. But more often than not, 646 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: this Tennessee team makes you grind for sixty minutes and 647 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: it's a battle of wills. And the last couple of 648 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: times the Bills have won those, they've won the last 649 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: three games by a total of nine points, and as 650 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: three Titans Bills games nine points between the Bills one 651 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: all the last year by seven and the previous two 652 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: by a point each, including a game winning field goal 653 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: by Stephen Haushka in twenty seventeen. So yeah, it's they 654 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: don't make it easy more often than not, So I'm 655 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: not thinking it's going to be easy to night. I 656 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: said this yesterday, and I think it's I really believe 657 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: it's true. The Titans are what the Bills were a 658 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: year ago before Josh Allen took this enormous league, before 659 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: they got Steph Digs and before they have Cole Beasley, John. 660 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got these guys. This is what they 661 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: were in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. Run the ball first, play, 662 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: really good defense, make enough plays to keep you in it. 663 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: Let your quarterback run around a little bit. Yeah, you know, 664 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen isn't anything really like Ryan Tannehill. He's a 665 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: much better athlete, and the Bills use him as such, 666 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: so that gave them the edge in that department. But 667 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: other than that, this is exactly the team the Buffalo 668 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: has been under Sean McDermott up until this year. Eight 669 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty. To join us, let's go 670 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: to Mike and Rochester to lead us off this segment. Mike, 671 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you have? Hey, guys, 672 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: love the show, so keep it up. I'm just excited 673 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: for the game today. And real quick, I wanted to 674 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 1: talk about Tremaine Edmonds and I love him. I think 675 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: he's going to be a great player. I just you know, 676 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: I've noticed looking back at some of the games this year, 677 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: and it looks like he's kind of out of position 678 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: a lot. And I know that's kind of the mL 679 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: on him, but it looks like he's kind of getting 680 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: washed down the line by offensive lineman or maybe just 681 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: over pursuing a little bit, and he's just out of 682 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: position and just missing tackles. And I'm not sure if 683 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: it's you know, something to do with maybe that shoulder 684 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: injury he had, or just you know, the defenses in 685 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: general and the NFL struggling. So I'm looking for him 686 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: to step up, and I'd love to get your thoughts 687 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: on it. Thanks. I'll nod to that. You're right, this 688 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: is not the same defense we've seen the last couple 689 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: of years, even with Tremaine Edmunds. Let me let me 690 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: throw this at you, Steven, tell me what you think 691 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: about this. I do think he does fall victim to 692 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: overpursuing plays at times. His aggressiveness sometimes gets the best 693 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: of him, and you can deal with that on occasion 694 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: if there's over pursued. I mean, a team like the Rams, 695 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: they make a lot of defenders look silly and look, 696 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: you know, with their eyes in the wrong place and 697 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: getting out of position. What do you think about this though, 698 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: as part of the reason that Tremade Edmonds might be 699 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: in a wrong gap or something like that. We talked 700 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: about the defense not having all their ducks in a 701 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: row the first couple of weeks doing part to the 702 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: turnover on the defensive line. Guy's not used to playing 703 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: with each other, etc. If you're defensive linemen are not 704 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: gap sound, what is the trickle down effect to the 705 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: linebacker level and can that be contributing to some of 706 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: what we've seen from Tremaine Edmonds. I think that's right, 707 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: that's true if that's the case, and I'm not saying 708 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: that that's the case every time, because this is and 709 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: I think right now too, you're seeing a lot of 710 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: defenses that are historically pretty good around the league not 711 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: looking as good as they have And there's I would 712 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: say one that offenses have taken a step forward in 713 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: the way that the game is structured, where all of 714 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 1: this stuff is misdirection. And I'll say this, Tremaine Edmonds 715 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: does a lot of things really well, but he's so long. 716 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: Change of direction is not his strength. When he takes 717 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: a wrong step he's not exploding. There's a lot of length. 718 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 1: That's one thing. I think the lack of gap control 719 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: at times, No doubt that's happened. But I don't know 720 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: that I can put everything on everything. I was just 721 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: thinking of it as a contributing fact, right, And that's 722 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: one thing. So you got the kind of player Tremaine 723 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: is over pursuit. Half the faces on the defensive line 724 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: are all new this year, if you account Harrison Phillips, 725 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: who was gone last year. And you've got a league 726 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: that is calling, for some inexplicable reason, thirty percent of 727 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: the holding calls on offensive lineman that they've called in 728 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: the last five years. So the trickle down effect of 729 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: that is defenses are going to look bad, and you 730 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: got some players that aren't going to play up to 731 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 1: their their potential on that side of the ball because 732 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: of all of that. Let's go to Dave in Hamburg 733 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: at eighth three five fifty. Dave, what do you have 734 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: for us? Thanks for joining one Bills Live. Hey guys, 735 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: Oh listen, my step up player would be Dawson Knox. Okay, yeah, 736 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: I keep I keep thinking that. As great as our 737 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: offense is, if Dawson Knox was more involved and had 738 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: to in the defenses would have to pay more attention 739 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: to him. Our offense would be absolute nightmare for defenses. 740 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: And I also have a question. My question is this. 741 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 1: You know, I understand human nature. Sometimes people slack off 742 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: on things, but the Tennessee Titans were told when they 743 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: closed down that there's no outside activity at the flaunt 744 00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: the rules like Ryan tanney Hill and the rest of 745 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: his receivers and such. We're not in a high school 746 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: of football, field and plants. If the NFL wanted to 747 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: make a statement, they would take those players and they 748 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: would suspend them for a game, and that let them 749 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: play against the Bills today. Well there is Yeah, I 750 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: get what you're saying. And they have been and even 751 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: the league has said this. They have been incredibly forthright 752 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: and honest and transparent about what happened, and there seems 753 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:35,879 Speaker 1: to be a growing sentiment. Well, their their assertion is this, 754 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: the players weren't keenly aware that they weren't supposed to 755 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: get together away from the building, and they didn't know 756 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: that it was mandated that they weren't supposed to get 757 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 1: together the club. The coaching staff, whoever, didn't didn't say, hey, 758 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: do not get together away from the club. So there's 759 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: this and they said miscommunity. When they when the league 760 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: asked about it, they were said, yeah we did. They 761 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: confessed everything. They said, Yeah, we did this and this 762 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: and this and this is the guys that were there, 763 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: and here's what we did and here's why we didn't know. 764 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't get that memo, you know, so 765 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: to speak, I'm saying, so understand this too. I mean, 766 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: there's common sense involves here. Yeah, you should know that 767 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: you can't do that, right. I would like to think 768 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: that you can say you can you should know, but no, 769 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, none of us have ever lived through a 770 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 1: pandemic before. And even though we're eight months into it 771 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,959 Speaker 1: and all that, and these guys get tested every day, 772 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: and I and I would assume maybe it's wrong. I 773 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: would assume that when you get tested every day and 774 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 1: you kind of you kind of feel, you know, like 775 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: you're safe, or or these guys that went and practiced, 776 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: and Dave, thanks for the call of the guys that 777 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: went and practiced, you know, Tannehill and upwards of ten 778 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: to fifteen other guys on the offensive side of the ball. 779 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: They probably said well, we're all negative. We all tested negative, 780 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 1: so we're good to hang out and practice together. And 781 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: that's exactly the false sense of security that COVID gives 782 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: people because they're thinking, well, I tested negative. Well you 783 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: might be negative today, but you might be shedding the 784 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: virus and not test positive until two days from now, right, 785 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: and now you're spreading it to all those people you 786 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: were around. And I think that is where the disconnect 787 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: was with these players. And is it wrong? One hundred 788 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: percent right, It's not right. You're not you're not bulletproof 789 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: from the virus. Just because you tested negative the virus, 790 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: you know you can get it. And I still get it. 791 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: And I think that negative result is the fall sense 792 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: of security that a lot of these plays exactly. But 793 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: they've been very forthright with the league, and rightfully so 794 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 1: they should be. But the disconnect is that the league 795 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: told the clubs to close the building down and not 796 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: have any in person meetings or get togethers or practices 797 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: in the meet in the building or away from the building. 798 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: That away from the building, some got lost in there somewhere, 799 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: either the coaching staff thought it was understood or the 800 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: players just didn't hear that part. Of the presentation sou 801 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 1: but BB that as a Maine they're gonna get they're 802 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: gonna get penalized. But the league doesn't want to penalize 803 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: everybody just because of the Titans. So they're not gonna 804 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: forfeit games. They're not gonna um. They may suspend the players, 805 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: but it maybe next year when you know, maybe in 806 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: the offseason, maybe some other or maybe draft picks things 807 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 1: like that got make They've got to do something. And 808 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: there has been growing sentiment around the national reporters of 809 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: the league that there might not be much of a 810 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: punishment at all, that they might let this one go 811 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: by the board. And I think that's a mistake. I 812 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: think they've got to drop the hammer on this team 813 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: to serve as an example for everybody else. It's unfortunate 814 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,479 Speaker 1: what happened, and maybe it was an innocent mistake made 815 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 1: by fifteen players, but it was a mistake. Nonetheless, there's 816 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people that make indvertent mistakes, sure, and 817 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: you still got to face the consequence. The problem is this, 818 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 1: if they let it slide, what about the next team 819 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't and they claim the exact mistake, And what 820 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: about you said, well, now, it's now it's unfair, so 821 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: you've got to do something. There's got to be some 822 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: repercussions from these actions, and even if they were inadvert absolutely, 823 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: because the ripple effect was I mean, look at the 824 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: Chargers schedule, look at the look at the delayed games, 825 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: the missed games, the buys that are going away, and 826 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: the Bills. Some people are saying, hey, the Bills are 827 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: getting the short and say, no, the Bills got off 828 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: really light. The Chargers are getting pinched. The Chargers are 829 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: getting pinched, the Steelers have gotten pinched, the Patriots have 830 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: gotten pitched, all these other teams. The Bills still get 831 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: a buy week in week eleven that hasn't touched. That 832 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: isn't change for now, right, So the Bills are still 833 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,879 Speaker 1: kind of pristine in this. They're playing all their games, 834 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: and they're playing them in order. They and with a 835 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, now they got a game, now, they get 836 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: the Thursday game. Now that's all the way to Monday. 837 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: So all of that. So the Bills have gotten off 838 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 1: really light in this whole thing so far. But obviously 839 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,479 Speaker 1: we're not even the halfway point yet. Drew and Grand Island, 840 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: we'll get to you in the next segment, we're up 841 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: against the break. We'll be back in a moment here 842 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This 843 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:12,720 Speaker 1: is Buffalo Hills Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Kasker, One Bills 844 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,959 Speaker 1: Live motor in our way to the top of the hour, 845 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 1: and we do want to get right back to the 846 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: phones and get to Drew and grand Island, who's been 847 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: waiting patiently. Drew, Welcome to the show. What do you 848 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: have for us? Hey? With the Bills next five games 849 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: excluding the Jets, of course, being a lot tougher than 850 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: the relatively easy start of the season, where do you 851 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: think they'll stand going into week eleven in terms of 852 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 1: record you're talking about? Yeah, yeah, I mean I think 853 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: that's hard to gauge right now, Drew. And the only 854 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: reason I say that is because I'm concerned there's another 855 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 1: COVID situation and the bill schedule gets flipped around a 856 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 1: little bit, and maybe maybe the teams were expecting them 857 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: to play may not be the teams they play, but 858 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Patriots, Seahawks, Cardinals, those are all gonna be 859 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: tough game. I think that goes without saying. Um Chargers 860 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: look tougher now. Chargers is a tougher game now, Herbert. 861 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: So you got Cardinal Sharks, Patriots, Jets, Chiefs, Titans. Yeah. 862 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 1: So I mean if they get to win tonight and 863 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,439 Speaker 1: go to five and zero Chiefs next week, that's gonna 864 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: be a tough game. Although it isn't home and even 865 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: without a crowd, I think that helps. I'm gonna say, 866 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say they've got probably two losses by the 867 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: time they get to the buy maybe three maybe. Yeah. 868 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,959 Speaker 1: That means they go three and three over their next six, 869 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: so they beat I'm gonna I'm gonna say four and 870 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: two on this next stretch here. That's what I'm gonna 871 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: go with. So what is that? So what was ha 872 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: to make two? Seven and two? Yeah? Going into week eleven? 873 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,399 Speaker 1: Oh no, maybe, I'm sorry to be eight and two, 874 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: eight and two. That's where I'm at. Eight and two. 875 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: Where are you, Steve Man? And I'll go Yeah, I'm 876 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: I'll go seven and a half town whatever, Vegas. Some 877 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: interesting news coming out of New York. Miniche Meta for 878 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 1: the Daily News covers the Jets is reporting that the 879 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 1: Jets are shopping Levon Bell with the hope of trading 880 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: him sooner rather than later leading up to the October 881 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 1: twenty ninth trade deadline. I think a lot of people 882 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: around the NFL when they saw the deal that the 883 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: Jets signed Bell to after he wanted out of Pittsburgh 884 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: and turned down a seventy five million dollar deal there, 885 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: he took almost twenty five million dollars less and agreed 886 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: to join a situation that was far worse than the 887 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 1: one he enjoyed in Pittsburgh. So now he might be 888 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 1: moving on to a third team if somebody is foolish 889 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 1: enough to take on Bell for their team now, they 890 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 1: obviously don't inherit any of that bonus money because that'll 891 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: just get lumped onto the Jet salary cap as soon 892 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: as they move him. Celebrates, you know, the signing bonus 893 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: accelerates onto their cap every so often. And it's easy 894 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: to sit here now where we got Brandon Bean and 895 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott pulling the strings for the Bills, and they 896 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: don't make mistakes like this, or at least haven't yet. 897 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: You see Bill O'Brien trade first and a bunch of 898 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: draft picks for Laramie Tunsil on the last year of 899 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: his deal, rookie deal without having a new contract in place. 900 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 1: So Laramie Tunseil's got this huge lever against the They 901 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 1: got to sign him to an enormous contract, which they did, 902 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: which they do. Then he trades maybe the best receiver 903 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: in the league in DeAndre Hopkins away for a running 904 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 1: back and a draft a fourth rounder I think draft pick. 905 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: So you see deals like that go down. So then 906 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,239 Speaker 1: you got this the Jets. Let me tell you what 907 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 1: I see in the Jets. They trade for running back 908 00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: who made his name for himself behind the best offensive 909 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: line in the National Football League for three years with 910 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 1: a team with one of the best defenses perennially every year. 911 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 1: It's a tailor made perfect fit for a running game 912 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,399 Speaker 1: and a running back of that nature. They go out 913 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 1: and spend all kinds of money to get him, give 914 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 1: him a huge bonus. They have no offensive line to 915 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 1: help him a rookie quarterback, and their defense has like 916 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: one player on it who they subsequently trade away. I mean, 917 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: it's like you're trying to lose. It's like you're trying 918 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 1: to get in cap jail. It's nuts to me to 919 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 1: see what the Jets have done two and a half 920 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: years ago. The Bills and the Jets were in the 921 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: exact same spot going into an offseason where they had 922 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: to get a young quarterback. They all had all they 923 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 1: were going to have all kinds of cap room the 924 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: next year after they draft their quarterback, they were both 925 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 1: going to have a ton of money to spend to 926 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 1: put pieces around him. And the Jets could not have 927 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,439 Speaker 1: done worse, could not possibly have done worse. They spent 928 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: their money in all the wrong places for all the 929 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,879 Speaker 1: wrong reasons. They didn't give any help to a young 930 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: quarterback who could have been the saving grace and certainly 931 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: is the face of their franchise. They had nothing to 932 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: help him. And here they sit now two years later, 933 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna trade away the high price running running back 934 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 1: where nobody else in the league is paying running backs 935 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 1: that kind of money, And now they're trading away that contract. 936 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 1: What are they doing? They're they're doing very jetsy and things. 937 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. That's the Jetsiest thing I've ever 938 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: heard of, Andy, And it's like it's bad. It's been 939 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 1: it's been like four years of mistake after blunder after 940 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: mistake after miss. They've done that for decades. What are 941 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 1: they doing? Um? A lot of ill advised decisions. It's 942 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,280 Speaker 1: a good thing. It's a good thing. This the league, 943 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,399 Speaker 1: the NFL is like a this parody league. Yeah, so 944 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: the bad team help to help them to get better, 945 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 1: and the and the good teams are hamstrung by their 946 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:11,439 Speaker 1: own success. The Jets are the beneficiaries of that, without questions. Sure, 947 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. Can't argue. And there's no sign of a 948 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: change at any time soon. And that coach is on 949 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,799 Speaker 1: night fine, I don't care. We have to take a break, 950 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 1: but when we return it is our weekly visit from 951 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt, who will join us and 952 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: we've got game night to talk about with him.

Production note here on Good Morning Football, if 998 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: it's Tuesday morning and I'm screaming and holding a scepter. 999 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 1: Normally we do Angry Runs that's three or four years 1000 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 1: in the row now, but there's still one game remaining 1001 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: in week five. So we were just going to forge 1002 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 1: ahead and hand out the scepter to this week, just 1003 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 1: one of the winners from the games that have already 1004 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 1: been played. But then we said, hold on a second. 1005 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: That remaining game is Bills Titans. No, no, no, no, 1006 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 1: we will wait. Those two teams are the bedrock of 1007 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 1: the Angry segment. They've won roughly half of them. Crown scepters, cantaloups, 1008 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 1: hold the phone. So we are going to wait. We're 1009 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 1: going to do it tomorrow. These gentlemen have altered our 1010 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 1: highly sophisticated production schedule, and we are doing it just 1011 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 1: to incorporate the Bills and the Titans other teams. We're 1012 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 1: forging ahead. But you can't do toad Drag Swag without 1013 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, you can't do Shacked in a Fool without 1014 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 1: Javail Nobody, you can't do in the Dolls without LaBamba. 1015 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 1: And we're not doing Angry Runs without the Bills and 1016 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:15,240 Speaker 1: the Titans. So listen to me, Josh, Derek, Ryan Dawson, 1017 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,879 Speaker 1: any of you don't make us look stupid. Now, don't 1018 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 1: put up no brick tonight. I want to send a 1019 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:24,320 Speaker 1: scepter to Nashville or Buffalo. Make us proud, make us happy, 1020 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 1: and best of all, make us angry. Now, let's talk 1021 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: some bills Titans.

Steve has been growing out his hair, and 1025 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,359 Speaker 1: I was left out in the cold. And I don't 1026 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,840 Speaker 1: know what happened in the last week, but in the 1027 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,480 Speaker 1: immortal words of Ron Burgundy, when you guys told me 1028 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 1: I couldn't grow hair, I said, I don't believe you. 1029 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: So I am here and I have hair, and I 1030 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: wanted to be part of the party. So here I 1031 00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 1: am so and you look great. Thank you. I appreciate this. Kyle. 1032 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 1: How you doing? Game Day? Tuesday got out of hand fast? 1033 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: It did it? Did? I'm sorry? Chris? Are you? Are 1034 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 1: you Stark Huts? I always forget, Yeah, well, I always preferred. 1035 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,919 Speaker 1: I always preferred Starsky because he was the hothead, right, Yes, 1036 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: he was good. I always preferred Stark as the hothead stars. 1037 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,400 Speaker 1: But this is how do you feel? How do you feel? 1038 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel right? Different, No, it doesn't feel right, Kyle. 1039 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 1: I have to admit it feels horribly because uncomfortable. It 1040 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 1: feels horribly uncomfortable. And I'm just gonna say this, Okay. 1041 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 1: I've I've now spent probably two decades of my life 1042 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,799 Speaker 1: without hair, and that's you know, it's almost as many 1043 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 1: years without hair as with hair. And I gotta tell you, 1044 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: the low maintenance end of this is such an advantage. 1045 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,800 Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times in the morning 1046 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,759 Speaker 1: my wife is up forty five minutes before me, and 1047 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,880 Speaker 1: I'm out of the shower and downstairs and out of 1048 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: the house before her to go to work, and she 1049 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 1: just she can't stand it. She's like, this is not fair. 1050 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 1: I was like, hold on a sector, I said, you 1051 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 1: have hair. Don't tell me this. That's not fair. This 1052 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,440 Speaker 1: is one of the perks that I get. Yeah. Well, yeah, 1053 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: so I figured out, like Steve and I, we we 1054 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,319 Speaker 1: have what's called bad hair days. Sometimes you can't leave. 1055 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,959 Speaker 1: You gotta deal with that thing. You twenty years now 1056 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: in the ball game, are you Chris that you transported 1057 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,239 Speaker 1: back to like nineteen ninety eight. No, and I'm gonna 1058 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 1: tell you this, what do you no? No, you know, 1059 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: believe it or not. This is uh supposed to be 1060 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 1: the Ron Burgundy hair and mustache, and I don't think 1061 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 1: it resembles it at all. Um, well, it's kind of 1062 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:35,839 Speaker 1: like helmet head right now, Judge smails. It looks good 1063 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 1: on you like that. You got a free bowl of soup? 1064 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, right, So no, I don't know. I 1065 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 1: will say this. In high school I had a killer 1066 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 1: brush cut and you didn't have to put gel in 1067 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 1: it or anything, and it faded down on the side. 1068 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,200 Speaker 1: It was great and I miss it terribly. I'm just 1069 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 1: gonna say yes. Well, all right, Well listen, Ron Burgundy, 1070 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,399 Speaker 1: as we know, lost his team in San Diego. That's right, 1071 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,239 Speaker 1: he did. Watched him lose last night. Maybe he is 1072 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,640 Speaker 1: now part of the Bills bandwagon, of which many people 1073 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 1: are jumping on. But let's get to game night. What 1074 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 1: about What do you think the bandwagon gonna roll tonight? Oh? Baby, 1075 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 1: you know you guys mentioned it normally we're talking on 1076 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: lazy Tuesdays and the game was two days ago. We're 1077 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 1: piecing together the Bills game. This is a treat to 1078 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,480 Speaker 1: talk to you, Ron and Steve in a game day. 1079 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 1: I've had some I've had some wings in the smoker 1080 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: since six am. I'm listening to all kinds of Buffalo music. 1081 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 1: I've got six different tables I'm gonna jump off of 1082 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 1: as the game goes on. As we know, I've never 1083 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 1: been to Buffalo, so this is as close as I 1084 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 1: can get. And uh, listen, And we're talking at a 1085 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 1: game day against the team that hasn't had a game 1086 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 1: day and the Titans, and it feels like a couple 1087 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 1: of lunar cycles. This has been a long long time 1088 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 1: and I think it's sixteen days since they last played 1089 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 1: a football game. And I gotta tell you insider info. 1090 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm friends with a couple of guys on the Titans. 1091 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: Not on a star players or anything, but some of 1092 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 1: the guys I know through college, and we've been texting 1093 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks and stir crazy, confused 1094 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 1: at some points, kind of threatened, and feel like they're 1095 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,720 Speaker 1: backed into a corner. These guys have been sitting at home, 1096 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 1: their facility has been shut down. They went through last 1097 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 1: week thinking this game was gonna be on Sunday, didn't 1098 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 1: have the game plan put in even on Wednesday. I 1099 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 1: don't even know if they know left from right right now, 1100 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 1: and now they're gonna come off and try to tackle 1101 00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in all the NFL. I 1102 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,880 Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a big, big night for Buffalo, 1103 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,160 Speaker 1: and I just I'll be impressed if tyn to see 1104 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: can even line up right after what they've been through. Now, 1105 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: I'll say this though, and I've been saying this all 1106 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: week in games like this that like Buffalo has had 1107 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 1: a couple of snow games where the game has been 1108 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: delayed and things happen out in the glue and all that, 1109 00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: I think the Titans are gonna hit it with a 1110 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 1: lot of emotion tonight. They're gonna it's gonna be a 1111 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 1: big release. It's got to feel so good for those 1112 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,280 Speaker 1: guys to get back together, get on the field, get 1113 00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,240 Speaker 1: in their uniforms. And I think early on, I've said 1114 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,200 Speaker 1: this a bunch early on, I think the Titans are 1115 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,080 Speaker 1: gonna punch him in the mouth. I really think they're 1116 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: gonna explode on these guys. I don't know if it'll 1117 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 1: last for four quarters. Because you said prepare, how do 1118 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 1: you stay in shape? Two weeks off. It's still two 1119 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: weeks off. And I don't know about you, but in 1120 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,280 Speaker 1: two weeks I can go a long way getting out 1121 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 1: of shape. But I think, I think emotionally the Titans 1122 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,440 Speaker 1: are gonna show up really big in this game, especially 1123 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,280 Speaker 1: early on. I know they're dying to play. Yeah, it 1124 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,400 Speaker 1: would be a good story if they win. I wish 1125 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,520 Speaker 1: for their sakes, Steve, they could be playing the Jaguars 1126 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 1: or somebody. You know, it's it's a tough draw. You 1127 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: can get through the emotion on a while, but after, 1128 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 1: you know, the first quarter and a half, it's like, damn, 1129 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 1: never mind the emotions, never mind COVID or anything. That 1130 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 1: Bills are really really good, even in a straight up game, 1131 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 1: all things being equal. I don't know if they could 1132 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 1: beat the Bills. But I think one thing we're all 1133 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,800 Speaker 1: looking forward to is the physicality of this game. I mean, 1134 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,040 Speaker 1: is as much as the game is beautiful and we're 1135 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 1: watching Breeze versus Herbert last night, mahomes this, mahomes that 1136 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 1: this is one. I don't know if it feels like 1137 00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 1: a twenty five year old game, sort of the kind 1138 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: of ones that we live for and that we played 1139 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 1: during and whether it's Henry or Alan or whoever we 1140 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 1: joke about the angry runs thing. This was actually, in 1141 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,000 Speaker 1: a way not a joke. If you didn't get the 1142 01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 1: context of the clip you guys played. You know what, 1143 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Every Tuesday we pick out the person we had the 1144 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 1: most physically dominant run and we give him a scepter. 1145 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun, and our show Good Morning 1146 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 1: Football was just gonna plow right through it and say 1147 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 1: Bills Titans whatever. I literally said, hold on, hold on, 1148 01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,280 Speaker 1: hold on, hold on the way this game is gonna 1149 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 1: go on Tuesday night. With the physical runners they have 1150 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 1: in this game and the hitters and the linebackers, we 1151 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 1: can't hand out this thing on a Tuesday and then 1152 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 1: have six different submissions on Tuesday night. We looked stupid. 1153 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 1: Coming on Wednesday. We got to have whole meetings about 1154 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 1: delaying the angry runs just because it's Bills are Titans. 1155 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,600 Speaker 1: I promise you, I promise you. If this was Houston 1156 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 1: versus Denver, we wanted to move squad, but you gotta 1157 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 1: move it for Bills Titans. I think we'll be glad 1158 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: we did. Yeah, And I'll say this too. Last year's 1159 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,640 Speaker 1: game was a very physical game between these two teams. 1160 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 1: It finished fourteen seven, probably should have finished differently if 1161 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Kiro Santos decided to not kick a football and make 1162 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,160 Speaker 1: it look like he was kicking a banana, going over 1163 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 1: four and having the worst day in the history of 1164 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:12,800 Speaker 1: a kicker in the Titans franchise. But I think beyond that, 1165 01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 1: you think about the physical toll that that game took 1166 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,200 Speaker 1: on both teams just because of the Rockham sockhem nature 1167 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 1: with which they played. I remember going in the locker 1168 01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,880 Speaker 1: room after the game, Lorenzo Alexander, who had to fill 1169 01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: in for an injured linebacker in that game, play more 1170 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 1: snaps than he wanted to in addition to all the 1171 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 1: snaps he played on special teams. He's sitting on a 1172 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 1: chair at the end of that game. He hasn't even 1173 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,000 Speaker 1: showered yet. He looked spent, like spent like I've never 1174 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 1: seen a player like. He left it all out there 1175 01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 1: in every way possible. And these two teams have played 1176 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,920 Speaker 1: Rockham sockem football each of the last three years, and 1177 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 1: all three games have been decided by a total of 1178 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 1: nine points to one pointers and then the seven pointer 1179 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,120 Speaker 1: last year. So I think these teams get up to 1180 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,000 Speaker 1: play each other. I think they know they are two 1181 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 1: teams that are rising in this conference and need to 1182 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,640 Speaker 1: be taken more seriously. Obviously, the Titans have more cachet 1183 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 1: because of how far they went last year, but these 1184 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,439 Speaker 1: are two teams to be reckoned with. I just don't 1185 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,920 Speaker 1: know if the Titans are ready to man up, because 1186 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:12,440 Speaker 1: they are several men short tonight. It's true. And I 1187 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 1: know you mentioned the Brown and Luan and their news report, 1188 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 1: and they're gonna dress and they're gonna go. That's a big, big, 1189 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,440 Speaker 1: big news nugget for this game. Like if those guys play, 1190 01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,680 Speaker 1: that's a massive difference, especially with Bill's pass rush and 1191 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,360 Speaker 1: all that. But listen, this is what we signed up 1192 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 1: for this season. Right. We knew this was going to 1193 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,000 Speaker 1: be a ride. We knew we weren't going to get 1194 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 1: through it flawlessly. It wasn't just gonna be sixteen games 1195 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,040 Speaker 1: up sixteen games down. This is the kind of mystery 1196 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 1: we signed up for. How are the Titans coming out tonight? 1197 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 1: Are they rattled? Are they pissed like Steve says and 1198 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,960 Speaker 1: ready to explode? Or are they just combobulated? We don't know. 1199 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,120 Speaker 1: We've never seen this type of break in the middle 1200 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 1: of the season, this early in the season, and in 1201 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,960 Speaker 1: the meantime, I just think again, it's it's a fun 1202 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 1: thing to say out loud. It's one of the weird 1203 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 1: things you say. In twenty twenty. The worst team they 1204 01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 1: could see right now is the Bills. We had a 1205 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,160 Speaker 1: conversation this morning, Who's play in the best football and 1206 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 1: all of the NFL, And one guy in the show 1207 01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 1: said the Seahawks, and one guy said the Packers. I 1208 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 1: said the Bills. I said, listen, the last time we 1209 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 1: saw this team, they were beating the Raiders. Have the 1210 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,480 Speaker 1: Raiders done anything lately? I haven't seen. Yeah, the Raiders 1211 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 1: smacked around the Chiefs to supposedly unbeatable team. This team 1212 01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 1: also beat the Ramps, only team to do it. So 1213 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,280 Speaker 1: I love Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers as much as 1214 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,920 Speaker 1: the next guy. But for my money and the total resume, 1215 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 1: if you look at the Bills like an NC double 1216 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 1: A tournament team, there RPI and quality of wins is 1217 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 1: way way up. I don't see anybody with the better 1218 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,400 Speaker 1: resume right now. And you talk about how this season 1219 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 1: is going, and there are some fun teams to watch 1220 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 1: out there, and the Seahawks being one of them, the 1221 01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 1: way they won last week, and their their coach Pete Carroll, 1222 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 1: who is like my dad old. I mean he's old, 1223 01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 1: and he's jump jumping around. He's like energetic and stuff. 1224 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,280 Speaker 1: So you see all this cool stuff. And if the 1225 01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,640 Speaker 1: Titans and Bills games go off this week and everybody 1226 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,960 Speaker 1: kind of stays virus free, they got a chance. You know, 1227 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,959 Speaker 1: this season's got a chance to get back on track 1228 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,120 Speaker 1: over the next month and maybe you know, with all 1229 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,920 Speaker 1: I know the schedule has been put in a queens 1230 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,439 Speaker 1: in art, but looks like everybody you know, they got 1231 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 1: if they can get the lid on this, they got 1232 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 1: an outside chance of getting back on track and just 1233 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 1: kicking right along Thursday night football, Sunday night football, Monday 1234 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,080 Speaker 1: night football, and keep going with it. What do you 1235 01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:27,400 Speaker 1: think the chances of are of that happening? Listen, Steve 1236 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 1: from your Lips to God's Ears. First of all, I 1237 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,640 Speaker 1: hope this season has the life and vivation, says of 1238 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, who looks like if Tasker's dad. See Pete 1239 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 1: Carroll's unbelievable and nobody saw his act in the locker room. Yeah, 1240 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 1: I mean it was like it was what you would 1241 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,240 Speaker 1: expect from McVeagh. This is the oldest coach in the 1242 01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 1: game until Romeo Crenell this weekend is older than him. 1243 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 1: I gotta say about Pete. Doesn't it feel like he's 1244 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,120 Speaker 1: been it looked exactly the same for your entire life, 1245 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 1: Like I don't feel like he looks exactly the same 1246 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 1: he did twenty five years ago coaching with Cleveland and 1247 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 1: New England and Carson Paul. He has an aged a bit, 1248 01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,160 Speaker 1: he has an undefeated team, and I draw hype from 1249 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 1: that guy. I draw hope from that guy too. The 1250 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 1: thing with the season, it's like, here's what was scary 1251 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: about the Titans is that everybody has the one get 1252 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 1: out of jail free card, the one free spin on 1253 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,400 Speaker 1: wheel of fortune, where, oh my goodness, we've had some 1254 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,440 Speaker 1: positive tasks, we're gonna have to shut you down, but 1255 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 1: we got your bye week and we're just gonna repurpose 1256 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 1: that and use it here. The problem with the Titans 1257 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 1: is they already burned that free spin, like they don't 1258 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,400 Speaker 1: have another one. So you get to mess up once 1259 01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 1: you get to positive. But then it's like the train 1260 01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,960 Speaker 1: has to keep on going and we can't be waiting 1261 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,720 Speaker 1: for you. The only other suggestion I thought was, well, 1262 01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,919 Speaker 1: what if we have to stop again. We do have 1263 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,560 Speaker 1: that Pro Bowl week and nobody really gives a bleep 1264 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,800 Speaker 1: about the Pro Bowl, so maybe we'll have to move 1265 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,040 Speaker 1: that as our second free spin. I hope that we 1266 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:50,640 Speaker 1: don't have to use them, but it would all be 1267 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 1: very naive of us to say, well, I'm sure we've 1268 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,120 Speaker 1: handled that COVID thing. Now, we should be good for 1269 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 1: the next three months. We're gonna need those spins. We 1270 01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 1: were talking to one of your colleagues, Judy Batista, on 1271 01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:01,840 Speaker 1: the show Yes Your Day, and we were asking her 1272 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,680 Speaker 1: to kind of give us the best sense if she 1273 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 1: could as to, you know, when this investigation of the 1274 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,600 Speaker 1: Titans going to wrap up, and what she feels the 1275 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 1: repercussions could ultimately be for this team. And she said, well, 1276 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:16,120 Speaker 1: if they are found you know, responsible, and they stepped 1277 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 1: around the COVID protocols, she could see, you know, fine, certainly, 1278 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 1: and she even floated out possible suspensions. Where do you 1279 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,080 Speaker 1: come down on that, What do you think is proper 1280 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 1: if it is in fact found that you know they 1281 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 1: violated the protocols? Well, listen, I remember when the rules 1282 01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 1: came out in the preseason and it was there will 1283 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 1: be no jersey exchanges on the field afterwards, and no 1284 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,160 Speaker 1: one's allowed here and no one's allowed here. And I 1285 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 1: remember a lot of people kind of rolled their eyes, 1286 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 1: and some of the players are like, oh, come on, 1287 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. Maybe it's not, you know, maybe maybe 1288 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,000 Speaker 1: they should go to the letter of the law. I 1289 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 1: will say this. I have a text message right here 1290 01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 1: from a Tennessee Titan, a guy whose name I will 1291 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: not reveal, but texting me this two days ago. He's 1292 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: texting me, it's brutal out here. We can't even go 1293 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,040 Speaker 1: in the building. Raiders and positive all these tests that 1294 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,160 Speaker 1: we've been following the rules we want to play. We 1295 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 1: have no idea how this keeps happening. I mentioned the 1296 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,640 Speaker 1: thing with them, you know, having a workout on a field. 1297 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 1: He said, the truth will come about that. At the time, 1298 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,640 Speaker 1: we did not break any rules. So I don't know 1299 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,960 Speaker 1: when exactly that took place, when exactly they were told 1300 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 1: what not to do. Here's what I know. We're going 1301 01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 1: into the end of October now, no more messing around, 1302 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,160 Speaker 1: no more ignorance. If you're on the sideline as a coach, 1303 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,720 Speaker 1: wear your damn mask. If you're shut down, don't go 1304 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 1: work out with your teammates. And so they answer the 1305 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,720 Speaker 1: question Chris, Yeah, they should throw the book at these guys. 1306 01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's fines or draft picks. Because 1307 01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 1: you have one little workout and break that rule, you 1308 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:44,560 Speaker 1: mess it up with the whole rest of the league. Here, 1309 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,760 Speaker 1: hit them with the hammer. I think they should. All right, 1310 01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,000 Speaker 1: So we're with Kyle Brandon. We are on a game 1311 01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 1: day on a Tuesday, and we're all, yeah, we are 1312 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:56,040 Speaker 1: the extended pregame all day. I mean nice, I'm gonna 1313 01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 1: be on the air for like six and a half 1314 01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 1: hours today, so I gotta but let's get back, and 1315 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,080 Speaker 1: I want to ask you this last thing. What's it 1316 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 1: gonna take? What will in Tennessee victory look like tonight? 1317 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,720 Speaker 1: Turnovers by the Bills. I think if Josh Allen does 1318 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,480 Speaker 1: not have an interception or a fullball, I don't think 1319 01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: the Bills can lose. And that's just my confidence in them. 1320 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,960 Speaker 1: Tennessee is a very good team too, don't get me wrong. 1321 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 1: And we could certainly talk about they get the run game, 1322 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 1: run game going on, and I'm they can get the 1323 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,280 Speaker 1: run game going. The Bills can too. The Bills can 1324 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 1: throw it. I think they have a better offense, and 1325 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,599 Speaker 1: right now tonight, I think they have a better defense. 1326 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 1: The only thing we get into is listen, it's a 1327 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 1: high stakes game, it's a national game. The lights are bright. 1328 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 1: Is something new, and you guys and I have talked 1329 01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,639 Speaker 1: about every week, sugar rush Josh Allen. If he does 1330 01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,040 Speaker 1: something wild and tries to lateral in the middle of 1331 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 1: a play, he throws it to the wrong team. That's 1332 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,479 Speaker 1: the only way I think Tennessee could win. And maybe 1333 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm being too hard on Tennessee. I think they're in 1334 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 1: for a huge mental challenge tonight with what they've been into. 1335 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,640 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is even a shade of what he's been 1336 01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,840 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win. I even go bold, guys, 1337 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,120 Speaker 1: I give a score prediction. Usually I think that I 1338 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:01,960 Speaker 1: think the Bills are gonna win this one going away. 1339 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be thirty to sixteen. Okay. One 1340 01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 1: thing we'd be remiss if we did not mention last 1341 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 1: week I was mourning the loss of my favorite musician, 1342 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 1: Eddie Van Halen, and I know on Good Morning Football, 1343 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 1: you guys had a chance to interview ac DC's Angus 1344 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,120 Speaker 1: Young and Brian Johnson, who are out with a new album. 1345 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 1: As I understand it, how cool was that? Unbelievably cool? 1346 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 1: Anybody listening or watching Angus and Brian the lead guitarists 1347 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,639 Speaker 1: and the lead singer for ac DC. They've been together 1348 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: for almost forty years now. Listen, these guys are the seventies. Yeah, 1349 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 1: they still bring it. They're still smiling, they still rock 1350 01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,880 Speaker 1: and roll, they still party. I asked Brian Johnson, I said, Brian, 1351 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,760 Speaker 1: for all of us out there who have gone to 1352 01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 1: a karaoke bar, had a few beers gotten up and 1353 01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,880 Speaker 1: tried to sing back in black, only for their throat 1354 01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,400 Speaker 1: to explode before they get to the first chorus. We 1355 01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,040 Speaker 1: want to know, how the hell do you sing like? 1356 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 1: That's it's it's not a human way to sing. How 1357 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,040 Speaker 1: does your voice do this? It's just me, man, It 1358 01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:09,800 Speaker 1: just comes out. Man, That's what I do. It's just like, 1359 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 1: that's my gift. And then at my Angus, listen, you 1360 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,680 Speaker 1: put on the schoolboy thing, you get out there on 1361 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,599 Speaker 1: the guitar solo and you're you're duck walking and you're 1362 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 1: on the ground, you're writhing and gyrating. I'm like, you've 1363 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 1: been doing this fifty years, how are you still doing that? 1364 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,400 Speaker 1: And he pretty much said listen. Once I hear the music, 1365 01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 1: I can't help myself. And once we start playing Highway 1366 01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: to Hell or Hell's Bells, it just takes over. I'm 1367 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,559 Speaker 1: incapable of standing there and strumming my guitar as we do. 1368 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,480 Speaker 1: Shook me all night long. I have to go crazy. 1369 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 1: And the last question I asked was any song in 1370 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 1: the catalog give me the one song that you know 1371 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,639 Speaker 1: will blow up a crowd, take the roof off a stadium. 1372 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 1: Both of them, I didn't didn't know the question was coming. 1373 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,160 Speaker 1: Both of them said thunderstruck. They were in full agreements, 1374 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 1: and it's just an amazing anthem. Those guys are doing 1375 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,720 Speaker 1: it now, forty fifty years in, still kicking ass. It's 1376 01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,840 Speaker 1: an inspiration. I thought. I thought you're gonna tell me. 1377 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 1: Angus Young's answer was hip replacement, but no, But I 1378 01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 1: don't even I don't know what it is about those rockers. 1379 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,599 Speaker 1: It's like they've been doing what they're doing fifty years. 1380 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna make it halfway there, and I'm 1381 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 1: trying to live healthy. If something about those rock genes. 1382 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,080 Speaker 1: I can hip replacement none unless they's just keep on rocket. 1383 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what I can tell you. I know 1384 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,400 Speaker 1: exactly what you mean. You get a chance to talk 1385 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,479 Speaker 1: to guys like that every so often, this job that 1386 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,799 Speaker 1: we do, I mean, we're just can we talk about everything, 1387 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,040 Speaker 1: but every so often you get a meat and talk 1388 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,639 Speaker 1: with somebody who gets to do really somebody's really cool 1389 01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 1: stuff and that that ACDC certainly counts for that. Congratulates. 1390 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,120 Speaker 1: That was an awesome interview and I recommend anybody to 1391 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,560 Speaker 1: go to watch that.

I gotta tell you. This is so ridiculous. 1414 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, look, it is not how you feel, it 1415 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,040 Speaker 1: is how you look.

Here on One 1418 01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,439 Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by a Lot to Health. This is 1419 01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Second half of the show underway, a 1420 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:21,360 Speaker 1: game day edition of One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve 1421 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,639 Speaker 1: Tasker with you awaiting the seven o'clock kickoff tonight between 1422 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,759 Speaker 1: the Bills and Titans down Nashville at Nissan Stadium. Steve 1423 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,360 Speaker 1: will be on the color commentary with John Murphy on 1424 01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,800 Speaker 1: the play by play and on the radio side, and 1425 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 1: I'll be tweeting madly during the game. So I'm lots 1426 01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,720 Speaker 1: going on in this game. It seems like it's been 1427 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,840 Speaker 1: like a month and a half since they played. It's 1428 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:44,800 Speaker 1: been like what nine days. Imagine how it's been for 1429 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:50,080 Speaker 1: the Titans, sixteen days, Like just think about how they 1430 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,840 Speaker 1: felt too. The whole league is like, keep playing. They're playing, 1431 01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,559 Speaker 1: They're playing, They're playing, and you're sitting and sitting there idol. 1432 01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,639 Speaker 1: So they're gonna want to They're gonna feel like they're 1433 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,559 Speaker 1: shot out of a cannon at the beginning of the game. 1434 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 1: The question is can they sustain it? And I don't 1435 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:04,840 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be able to at least into the 1436 01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,959 Speaker 1: second half. Not because they're not maybe necessarily properly conditioned, 1437 01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,400 Speaker 1: although I think that will play a part, but I 1438 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,960 Speaker 1: think because they're so undermanned with you know, the guys 1439 01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:18,479 Speaker 1: on the COVID list, players on the injury list, lack 1440 01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,799 Speaker 1: of practice. I just don't think they've got enough horses 1441 01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,160 Speaker 1: to get through this game. When I can buying lack 1442 01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,400 Speaker 1: of manpower and lack of condition. You think about this too. 1443 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:32,760 Speaker 1: You've got guys for the Bills who you know, like 1444 01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:34,720 Speaker 1: Zach Moss is the one that comes to mind. Is 1445 01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 1: he gonna, you know, can he does he have a 1446 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:40,040 Speaker 1: chance to play in this game? This is that kind 1447 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 1: of game he's designed. It could be awesome if he could. 1448 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,599 Speaker 1: But you know, then he think, well, godly, this might 1449 01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,240 Speaker 1: be that we give him that extra week to get 1450 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:51,280 Speaker 1: him one hundred hundred percent ready to play. But by 1451 01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 1: the same token, the Titan run defense has been suspect 1452 01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:59,080 Speaker 1: at best, and you know, you kind of need those guys. 1453 01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, there's so much so I just can't 1454 01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,200 Speaker 1: wait for the game. I can't wait for the inactives. 1455 01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see who's who's out there. I 1456 01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:07,960 Speaker 1: can't wait to, you know, see these guys on the field. 1457 01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 1: This is it's it's really nice to have this standalone 1458 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,080 Speaker 1: game for Buffalo, and it's a national game. Everybody's gonna 1459 01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,000 Speaker 1: say they'll have another one next week, not to not 1460 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,200 Speaker 1: to look ahead, but they'll have another one in six days. 1461 01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 1: And we had this, we already had one caller, uh, 1462 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,400 Speaker 1: and we'll get to the phones again. But we had 1463 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,600 Speaker 1: one caller who you know, asked about Josh Allen this 1464 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: MVP conversation. You want to know a big if you 1465 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,120 Speaker 1: want to have a big say and who the MVP is. 1466 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 1: Tonight's one of those, well plays big on the big stage. 1467 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,360 Speaker 1: It's a conversation starter. Right here on the big stage. 1468 01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 1: You come out and and hang a bunch of points 1469 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,080 Speaker 1: on these guys and it goes a long way. Yeah. 1470 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:42,760 Speaker 1: And if you do the same against the Chiefs next 1471 01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,800 Speaker 1: week and a shootout with Mahomes, you're right there. You're 1472 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:48,640 Speaker 1: right there. Yeah. But this is, let's face it, that 1473 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:50,840 Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. And it's like 1474 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:53,000 Speaker 1: you and I said, I still believe it. Josh can 1475 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:56,120 Speaker 1: play great. If the team has a worse record than 1476 01:15:56,160 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 1: another team, the other team's best player wins MVP. I mean, 1477 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of the way. It's kind of like guy 1478 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:05,519 Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy voting the best player on the best 1479 01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:09,000 Speaker 1: team is the guy in the conversation who leads the conversation. Now, 1480 01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 1: there are other guys who can get in there, but 1481 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:15,320 Speaker 1: they've really got to be special. In the NFL, everybody 1482 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:19,400 Speaker 1: sees just about every game, and you've got to be 1483 01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:21,960 Speaker 1: on a really good team. And if you're the guy 1484 01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,519 Speaker 1: who's the main guy on that team, you're in the 1485 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 1: conversation for MVP eight three five fifty to join us 1486 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 1: is we're asking you you who do you want to 1487 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,160 Speaker 1: step up tonight against the Titans. So we're taking your 1488 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 1: phone calls at three fifty. Got an open line for 1489 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,040 Speaker 1: you there. But in the meantime, we do want to 1490 01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,040 Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan 1491 01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, 1492 01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:47,640 Speaker 1: and Nick leads us off. He says, I'm looking for 1493 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 1: the run game to step up. Hopefully Moss is available 1494 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:53,840 Speaker 1: that will take off pressure from Josh Allen. If we 1495 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,120 Speaker 1: can pound the ball their d we'll have to focus 1496 01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,559 Speaker 1: on stopping the run and then Allen can pick him 1497 01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 1: apart with the passing game and take advantage of cornerbacks 1498 01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 1: out of the lineup in this game. Also, it will 1499 01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:07,120 Speaker 1: help chew up time of possession, you know, speaking a 1500 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,640 Speaker 1: time of possession, Steve, I have to believe that the 1501 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:12,360 Speaker 1: Titans are going to want to shorten this game as 1502 01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,840 Speaker 1: much as possible. They have to know conditioning is going 1503 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,600 Speaker 1: to be a factor in this game. How do you 1504 01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 1: shorten a game by running the ball successfully keeping the 1505 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,360 Speaker 1: clock going. So I think they're going to do what 1506 01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,439 Speaker 1: they do and try to run the ball as much 1507 01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:27,120 Speaker 1: as possible, hopefully with some success as far as they're concerned, 1508 01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:32,000 Speaker 1: to shorten this game, and hopefully the Bill's offense only 1509 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,320 Speaker 1: runs sixty plays instead of seventy five. You know what 1510 01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean? Yes, exactly, and it's you said it earlier. 1511 01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 1: The Bills are good on third down better than the 1512 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,160 Speaker 1: Titans statistically, and the Titans are bad on third down defense. 1513 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:50,479 Speaker 1: Mad you've got to for the Bills. All you need 1514 01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 1: to get them out of their rhythm is a couple 1515 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 1: of stops, because if the Bills don't get stopped, if 1516 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:01,480 Speaker 1: they go down, even if it's touchdown, few goal, field goal, touchdown, 1517 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,000 Speaker 1: and the Titans get a field goal or field goal 1518 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:08,519 Speaker 1: and a field goal, they're they're up against it. You're 1519 01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:11,760 Speaker 1: halfway through the game and they've done nothing offensively. So 1520 01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 1: this is a game where, yeah, the Titans can have 1521 01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,920 Speaker 1: that on their game plans. They listen, we just got 1522 01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,559 Speaker 1: to hang onto the ball, just convert. They're asking themselves 1523 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 1: to do something they haven't been able to do very 1524 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,760 Speaker 1: well thus far. In the season from Jack on the 1525 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,839 Speaker 1: tweet sheet. The d line all eight of them, actually 1526 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:32,599 Speaker 1: they dress nine the last couple of weeks, nine of them. 1527 01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,600 Speaker 1: We need to get more pressure and forced Tannehill to 1528 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,800 Speaker 1: make some mistakes. Also have to penetrate and get Henry 1529 01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,680 Speaker 1: moving sideways instead of downhill. We need the dts to 1530 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 1: step up show we can survive without star, especially at 1531 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,160 Speaker 1: nose tackle with Butler and Horrible Harry to eat up blockers. 1532 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 1: They do have this inside run play the Titans do. 1533 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,519 Speaker 1: They got some guards that can wall off people and 1534 01:18:57,640 --> 01:18:59,920 Speaker 1: give Henry a crease, so when he's going north south 1535 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 1: right from the jump, that's a problem. They got to 1536 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,519 Speaker 1: watch some of those inside runs that they execute because 1537 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 1: they do a good job of that. The main task 1538 01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,720 Speaker 1: here is to force Henry. They got to spill him, 1539 01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,720 Speaker 1: force him to spill to the outside, take away the 1540 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:19,840 Speaker 1: inside run lanes, and force him to bounce. That's the 1541 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 1: best way to stop Derrick Henry. Yeah, and I think 1542 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 1: what you do also in a week of preparation like this, 1543 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:28,479 Speaker 1: you have guys work on the techniques of beating the 1544 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,519 Speaker 1: stiff arm as well. Derrick Henry's got a stiff arm 1545 01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,240 Speaker 1: that's like a It's like a taser. I mean it. 1546 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,560 Speaker 1: You know it'll it'll electrocute you. So you've got to 1547 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,720 Speaker 1: have a technique for when he goes to put his 1548 01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:41,960 Speaker 1: the heel of his hand on your forehead or on 1549 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:45,800 Speaker 1: your on your body. You've got to have a plan 1550 01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,920 Speaker 1: to get that off you and to get inside of it. 1551 01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,679 Speaker 1: And yeah, I would be working on it all week 1552 01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:53,639 Speaker 1: and he and when you bounce him and he goes 1553 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 1: the outside, you'll see him put the ball in his 1554 01:19:56,479 --> 01:20:00,799 Speaker 1: off arm. It doesn't matter right or left. He'll jab 1555 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,400 Speaker 1: you with the heel of his hand, and it's it's all. 1556 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:05,800 Speaker 1: She wrote. Man, he's hard to bring down. I just 1557 01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 1: don't understand why more guys don't go right for his hips, 1558 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:15,519 Speaker 1: drive the shoulder into his hips and try to get 1559 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 1: your head across his face and carry him out of bounds. 1560 01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:21,679 Speaker 1: Why do guys, especially defensive facts, why do they still 1561 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 1: try to take him on a high? I don't get it. 1562 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,519 Speaker 1: Guy's a freight train. Why are you not going at 1563 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,759 Speaker 1: his hips with your shoulder and driving one of those things? 1564 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:31,800 Speaker 1: One of the things that I always thought about. When 1565 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,639 Speaker 1: you get a big guy like that and you're coming 1566 01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,160 Speaker 1: as particularly me as a guy who was slight, and 1567 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,160 Speaker 1: most guys comparatively speaking, or slight, even if they're six 1568 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 1: foot two hundred pounds, they're slight to Derek. So what 1569 01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,800 Speaker 1: happens is you don't believe you've got enough velocity to 1570 01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:49,800 Speaker 1: get the guy off his balance. If you go in 1571 01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:51,960 Speaker 1: at his hip, if you take his hips out, you 1572 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:53,640 Speaker 1: might hit him and move him, but you're not going 1573 01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,960 Speaker 1: to get him off his balance. Which so you might 1574 01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,200 Speaker 1: bounce him a two yards to the left or to 1575 01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,880 Speaker 1: the right, but you're not going to his balance is 1576 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,800 Speaker 1: still gonna be there, so you have to go And 1577 01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 1: that's why they when the outlawed, it became difficult. When 1578 01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 1: you got something standing there, you got to hit it 1579 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,120 Speaker 1: at the top or the bottom to get it off 1580 01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 1: its balance. And that's what It's the same thing when 1581 01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,920 Speaker 1: you're trying to tackle a guy. You got to hit him, 1582 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:17,880 Speaker 1: take his feet out, or you gotta take his head out, 1583 01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:21,479 Speaker 1: because it takes exponentially more forced to move his entire 1584 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,240 Speaker 1: body weight off his balance when he hit him in 1585 01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,519 Speaker 1: his in his between his thighs and his lower chest. 1586 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,559 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't get a guy off his balance 1587 01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 1: when you hit him. I'm going ankles every single time. Right, 1588 01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,160 Speaker 1: if you do, then you can do that and you 1589 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:37,560 Speaker 1: got a chance at it. But you gotta get a 1590 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:39,280 Speaker 1: grip on him because he'll he'll step out of it 1591 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:41,760 Speaker 1: or whatever. But if you go high, then you can 1592 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:43,920 Speaker 1: get him, you know, you get his top over his out, 1593 01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:45,680 Speaker 1: over his feet and then he's off balance, then you 1594 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 1: can get him. But that's the that's the thing. That's 1595 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:51,400 Speaker 1: why I don't get that approach. I think that is 1596 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,640 Speaker 1: so much harder than going low. Yes, it is, but 1597 01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's easy. It's easier to avoid somebody 1598 01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 1: who's trying to tackle you low. Yeah, so right at 1599 01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:03,639 Speaker 1: the knees, you know, like just above the knees, get 1600 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,000 Speaker 1: in there whatever you forced those knees to bend up, 1601 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,240 Speaker 1: you know, whatever, you dog tie kind of tackle. You 1602 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 1: gotta grip him. You gotta grab him and hang on, 1603 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,439 Speaker 1: squeeze because he you know, as big and strong as 1604 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,160 Speaker 1: he is, if you've got one of his legs or 1605 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 1: even one of his arms, wait for help, Help us coming, 1606 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,519 Speaker 1: help us coming. And the Bills are good at that 1607 01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,240 Speaker 1: rallying to the football, so hopefully they can keep him 1608 01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 1: under wraps. From Chris on the tweet sheet, he says 1609 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: he's looking for Josh Norman to step up tonight. He 1610 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,360 Speaker 1: forced a huge turnover last week, and I want to 1611 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:36,760 Speaker 1: see him be a difference maker again tonight because I 1612 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 1: know there's still some people doubting what he brings to 1613 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,200 Speaker 1: the team. He's a juice guy for sure. You want 1614 01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,400 Speaker 1: to get that Bills team fired up on defense, he's 1615 01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,759 Speaker 1: one of your juice guys. And then you got Digs 1616 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,920 Speaker 1: on offense. It's another guy that brings the juice. It 1617 01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,960 Speaker 1: was interesting too, and I think Kyle Brandt was right 1618 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,840 Speaker 1: when he said this is a game where turnovers are 1619 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,960 Speaker 1: going to be crucial. Tennessee's gonna need him and a 1620 01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:00,600 Speaker 1: guy like Josh Norman. We saw it last week with 1621 01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 1: a punch out. And if you can get guys to 1622 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,880 Speaker 1: start making plays defensively, guys like Josh Norman, they kind 1623 01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,120 Speaker 1: of they kind of start to steamroll it. They kind 1624 01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,080 Speaker 1: of get all the other guys to keep thinking about, hey, 1625 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,519 Speaker 1: don't forget about doing this. And then once you get one, 1626 01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 1: then everybody's like a contest like, oh oh yeah, that'll happen. Now, 1627 01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,599 Speaker 1: let's go, and it feeds on itself and it starts 1628 01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:24,040 Speaker 1: to become a thing. That. You know, the game turns 1629 01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 1: on and you start to get him in bunches, and 1630 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,640 Speaker 1: that's you're right. I agree with that. Josh Norman is 1631 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 1: the same kind of guy. Is that kind of guy 1632 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:34,240 Speaker 1: that can make that happen because of his moxie. Yeah, 1633 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:40,360 Speaker 1: his attitude, his personality. He's one of those man. He's 1634 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:43,120 Speaker 1: a front runner. Man. Let's get out in front and 1635 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:45,639 Speaker 1: then stomp. Let's go. Man. It's fun when you're winning 1636 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,280 Speaker 1: like that, and I think he helps guys get to that. 1637 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,320 Speaker 1: So's it starts with one good play, he starts talking 1638 01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:54,120 Speaker 1: and yapping. Then it starts another one, another pretty good play. 1639 01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,320 Speaker 1: Then you know, then all of a sudden it's infectious 1640 01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 1: and guys start to get hungry for it. So that's 1641 01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:01,000 Speaker 1: a great that's a that's a great tweet from Tiffany. 1642 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:04,200 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox needs to step up and make a player 1643 01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:06,400 Speaker 1: two tonight. I would like to see the effort from 1644 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:09,759 Speaker 1: last season's Bengals game. He's due for a catch, slash, 1645 01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 1: angry run combo tonight Bills went a close one twenty eight, 1646 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 1: twenty four. Dawson Knox, the Tennessee native, back in his 1647 01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:21,120 Speaker 1: home state. So is Tyrell so is Tyrell Dodson for 1648 01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:24,400 Speaker 1: that matter, Knox grew up twelve miles outside of Nash Yeah, 1649 01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 1: and Dodson wasn't far away either, So yeah, the thing 1650 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 1: is Knox is going to have a challenge on his hands. 1651 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,800 Speaker 1: The Titans field two pretty darn good safeties, and Kenny 1652 01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,720 Speaker 1: Vaccaro and Kevin Byard. I mean those are you want 1653 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,599 Speaker 1: to talk about the great combination of safeties that hide 1654 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,920 Speaker 1: employer are Bayard and Vacaro aren't far behind. That's a 1655 01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: good combination of safeties. Like if you stacked, you know, 1656 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,200 Speaker 1: the top three safety combos in the league, in the 1657 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,600 Speaker 1: entire league, both of these teams would have their combinations 1658 01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:59,320 Speaker 1: in the conversation, right, So it's gonna be hard for 1659 01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,599 Speaker 1: him to make plays against those guys, which means if 1660 01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,000 Speaker 1: he does, you take something away that the tent Titans 1661 01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 1: are really counting one, you know, which is always exactly 1662 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,960 Speaker 1: what you're trying to do in a game plan. From 1663 01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 1: David on the tweet sheet. Need the defense to turn 1664 01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:16,960 Speaker 1: it up a bit. I know it's not Buffalo fans, 1665 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,679 Speaker 1: but I think just fans in the stadium in general 1666 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,640 Speaker 1: will create an intensified atmosphere for both teams. What do 1667 01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,679 Speaker 1: you think of that? You think the fans eighty six hundred, 1668 01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean they said they made a difference in Miami 1669 01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,240 Speaker 1: that they heard them in week two. Eighty six hundred 1670 01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:36,799 Speaker 1: fans tonight at Nissan Stadium, probably mostly partisan Titans fans. 1671 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,360 Speaker 1: Do they help the bills With the atmosphere, I think 1672 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 1: it'll feel more normal. I think it might be a 1673 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,760 Speaker 1: little bit less of a distraction than no fans. It 1674 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:49,240 Speaker 1: won't be such a void there something. Yeah, it won't 1675 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:53,360 Speaker 1: be weird. I don't think that it will be enough 1676 01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 1: people that there will be enough people there to drown 1677 01:25:56,240 --> 01:26:00,000 Speaker 1: out communication. I think it'll be like a training camp practice, 1678 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,320 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. We've seen those over at 1679 01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,960 Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher. There's about five thousand people. There's same 1680 01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 1: kind of thing. It's up there, closer to the field 1681 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:08,640 Speaker 1: than they will be in the in the stadium, and 1682 01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,599 Speaker 1: they won't they're not spread out at Saint John Fisher. 1683 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,639 Speaker 1: I think that's the kind of atmosphere where you'll get 1684 01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,439 Speaker 1: the feel of a crowd without the cumbersome nature of 1685 01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:19,640 Speaker 1: the noise and not being able to communicate. So I 1686 01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:21,320 Speaker 1: don't know that it'll be a plus or a minus. 1687 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,920 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a wash, a wash, all right, 1688 01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:29,600 Speaker 1: fair enough from one on the tweet sheet, he says, linebackers, linebackers. 1689 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 1: Linebackers need to step up and pass and run coverage 1690 01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,160 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. I think this will 1691 01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,320 Speaker 1: be crucial to the Bills getting a victory. Well, I mean, 1692 01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 1: anybody in the front seven is going to be crucial 1693 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:45,639 Speaker 1: because you got to stop that running back. Yeah, I'm yeah. 1694 01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 1: Linebackers are obviously always important. I think it's more about 1695 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 1: I think in this game it's going to be more 1696 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,680 Speaker 1: about the defensive line. I think the Bills are going 1697 01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:55,080 Speaker 1: to be able to rotate eight guys through, maybe nine 1698 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,559 Speaker 1: guys through, and in the second half of this game. 1699 01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:01,680 Speaker 1: I think that conditioning and the fact that they've been 1700 01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:09,839 Speaker 1: preparing and stuff is gonna serve them well, and certainly 1701 01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,200 Speaker 1: will if the Bills. If this game goes as the 1702 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:15,439 Speaker 1: as the first four have gone, where the Bills jump 1703 01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 1: out score on their first four possessions or whatever, of 1704 01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 1: four out of their first five or four out of 1705 01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,720 Speaker 1: their first six possessions, they're lightening it up and the 1706 01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:26,639 Speaker 1: Titans are starting to think, Okay, we're in the second 1707 01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,760 Speaker 1: half here, we gotta you know, but they're desperate now, yes, 1708 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:31,960 Speaker 1: but their offensive line is not going to be able 1709 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 1: to be rolling through and they're going to start to 1710 01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,040 Speaker 1: run out of gas pretty quickly. From Chad on the 1711 01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:39,200 Speaker 1: tweet sheet, need Tyrrell Dodson to come up big d 1712 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,120 Speaker 1: line needs to win at the point of attack, and 1713 01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:45,519 Speaker 1: that's a common refrain from a lot of the tweeters today. 1714 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:47,160 Speaker 1: We have to take a break, but more from the 1715 01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:49,800 Speaker 1: tweet sheet and your phone calls at eight oh three, 1716 01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:53,840 Speaker 1: five fifty as we are asking you, who do you 1717 01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:56,960 Speaker 1: want to step up tonight against the Titans in a 1718 01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 1: Tuesday night matchup of unbeaten Steve and I back in 1719 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:03,760 Speaker 1: a moment here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. 1720 01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:19,920 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio First Ground Jasker closing up 1721 01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:22,719 Speaker 1: our number two of the program on a Bills Gain 1722 01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:26,800 Speaker 1: Day edition of One Bills Live. And this just coming 1723 01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,480 Speaker 1: down in the last hour or so. According to The Athletic, 1724 01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:34,920 Speaker 1: the league is considering the viability of a postseason bubble, 1725 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,920 Speaker 1: along with the possibility of playing some postseason games at 1726 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:42,240 Speaker 1: neutral sites. Per the report, LA and Dallas could be 1727 01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 1: two potential options for the AFC and NFC, respectively. The 1728 01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:51,720 Speaker 1: bubble would be implemented after the wildcard round, so that 1729 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:55,640 Speaker 1: would be after you are down to what do we 1730 01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:59,120 Speaker 1: got left after that? So wildcards teams, So there's seven 1731 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:02,120 Speaker 1: playoff teams in each conference. One team has a bye, 1732 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:08,320 Speaker 1: so the winner, Yeah, well how does that work? Seven? 1733 01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:11,160 Speaker 1: There'd be four teams in each conference left, Yeah, four 1734 01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:13,400 Speaker 1: in each So once you get down to essentially the conference, 1735 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:17,599 Speaker 1: the division round of the playoffs, divisional round, so you'd 1736 01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 1: have six teams in one city, six teams in the 1737 01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:25,800 Speaker 1: other city, and off you go. No, we'll see, there'd 1738 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 1: be seven teams and after the watch four in each team, 1739 01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:33,200 Speaker 1: four in each So four teams in each conference left 1740 01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,599 Speaker 1: to conduct two games in a divisional round, and then 1741 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,879 Speaker 1: the following week the championship games, and then obviously everybody 1742 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,280 Speaker 1: heads the Tampa for the Super Bowl. From there, the 1743 01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:47,599 Speaker 1: report says that the league is determined to play all 1744 01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:50,240 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty six regular season games in their 1745 01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:54,439 Speaker 1: seventeen week window. Again, the eighteenth week is a last resort, 1746 01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:57,719 Speaker 1: but the first postponement of a game involving a team 1747 01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:00,120 Speaker 1: that already has had a bye week will make that 1748 01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:04,080 Speaker 1: last resort of reality, and they're right, it will. But 1749 01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:07,479 Speaker 1: your thoughts on bubbling up for the playoffs once they 1750 01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 1: reach the divisional round, steve four teams for each conference, 1751 01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:15,839 Speaker 1: eight total teams. That's not impossible. No, it's it's an option. 1752 01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,120 Speaker 1: I think they should, they should explore and check out. 1753 01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:22,080 Speaker 1: But I think it will depend greatly on the landscape 1754 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 1: in three months. Right, if they've skated through this season 1755 01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:28,719 Speaker 1: the way they are, they're not going to do anything different. 1756 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:34,360 Speaker 1: They won't upset that apple cart. They'll just keep on 1757 01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:38,160 Speaker 1: keeping on they But if we've had a couple of 1758 01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,200 Speaker 1: episodes like this last two weeks, then they'll think, you know, well, 1759 01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,000 Speaker 1: we can't take a chance. We've got it. That's their 1760 01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:48,640 Speaker 1: highest inventory of the season in terms of revenue from 1761 01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 1: the television networks. You get a playoff game compromise, Now 1762 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:55,719 Speaker 1: you're I mean, they're already losing their shirt on ticket revenue. 1763 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:57,639 Speaker 1: And I think with the way this is going, there's 1764 01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 1: there's no indication that there's going to be more than 1765 01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:04,120 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of fans in any building anytime soon, 1766 01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:07,360 Speaker 1: although in Florida they're talking about filling the thing. In 1767 01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 1: Miami where they just do whatever the hell they want so. 1768 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:17,640 Speaker 1: I think knowing that with an opportunity to preserve or 1769 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,599 Speaker 1: at least enhance the chances of having your playoff games 1770 01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:24,960 Speaker 1: go off without a hitch at a time in the 1771 01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:29,080 Speaker 1: calendar year where the second wave could be in full 1772 01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:34,600 Speaker 1: force could be, it should most definitely be a consideration 1773 01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:37,200 Speaker 1: if you want to preserve the sanctity of your playoff 1774 01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,840 Speaker 1: schedule and not compromise it in any way, shape or form. 1775 01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:45,880 Speaker 1: What this would compromise, however, is Steve's dream scenario of 1776 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:49,719 Speaker 1: a home playoff game for the Bills with fans. Because 1777 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:53,440 Speaker 1: if there are bubbles in LA and Dallas, they presumably 1778 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,000 Speaker 1: won't be fans, and if there are very few of 1779 01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:59,800 Speaker 1: them would be Bills fans, I think they probably will 1780 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:03,719 Speaker 1: probably pursue an avenue towards making that happen. A bubble 1781 01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 1: in Dallas, a bubble in LA wherever they wherever they 1782 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:10,559 Speaker 1: say it is um two big stadiums. Dallas got a 1783 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 1: huge stadium there. They can they can certainly handle the 1784 01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:18,800 Speaker 1: facility and logistically and but but and bubble up with 1785 01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:20,800 Speaker 1: each team in their own hotel. That kind of thing. 1786 01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:23,720 Speaker 1: They'll probably pursue that have that option to do that 1787 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:27,240 Speaker 1: but I think it will greatly depend on what the 1788 01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:29,920 Speaker 1: landscape is when they get there as to think as 1789 01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:33,439 Speaker 1: to whether it will happen or not. They'll leave it 1790 01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,080 Speaker 1: open and work towards making sure it's an option that 1791 01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 1: they can, you know, snap their fingers and say, Okay, 1792 01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:40,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. Um. But I don't think they'll 1793 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:45,000 Speaker 1: commit to that until the landscape surrounding the league and 1794 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:47,680 Speaker 1: in the scenarios, with what we've seen the last two 1795 01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,519 Speaker 1: weeks and how often that's happened and what it looks like, 1796 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,920 Speaker 1: and how how much better or worse it gets on 1797 01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:56,479 Speaker 1: the regular season. Then they'll make that decision late. But 1798 01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,280 Speaker 1: I bet you they lean towards not doing it if 1799 01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:03,080 Speaker 1: they can do, if they think it's, like you said, 1800 01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:06,040 Speaker 1: if it doesn't compromise one of these games that means 1801 01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:08,040 Speaker 1: so much to them. All Right, we have to take 1802 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:12,519 Speaker 1: a break, but when we return one, Jay Feely, former 1803 01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:16,080 Speaker 1: NFL punter and current CBS broadcaster, will be joining us 1804 01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:18,920 Speaker 1: for our number three of the program.

I'm glad we're having it. I'm 1848 01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:52,160 Speaker 1: quite sure I'll I kept thinking at some point one 1849 01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:54,880 Speaker 1: of these mornings would wake up and there would be 1850 01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:57,360 Speaker 1: another positive test in that game would get canceled. And 1851 01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:00,160 Speaker 1: thankfully that hasn't happened. Yeah, because we've been talking talking 1852 01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:01,960 Speaker 1: about all the players and the coaches that have been 1853 01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:03,920 Speaker 1: in limbo. You guys have been in limbo just as 1854 01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,080 Speaker 1: much like am are we going? Are we traveling? What 1855 01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:09,680 Speaker 1: are we doing? We've been sitting around Nashville. Wait. And 1856 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:12,759 Speaker 1: you know, I was at the airport Thursday morning because 1857 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:14,760 Speaker 1: we have to take a COVID test Friday. We do 1858 01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,160 Speaker 1: production means Friday, so I got to fly out on Thursday. 1859 01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 1: So Thursday morning, I was there for a six am 1860 01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:22,560 Speaker 1: flight and I got a call early as I was 1861 01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:24,880 Speaker 1: about to get on the plane and they said, hey, 1862 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:27,679 Speaker 1: don't get on the flight now, the game might get canceled. 1863 01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:30,800 Speaker 1: So I went home and I'm sitting at home in 1864 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:33,519 Speaker 1: about noon they said the NFL says the game is 1865 01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:35,880 Speaker 1: gonna be played. Go get on a flight. So I 1866 01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:38,080 Speaker 1: ran back, got on a flight at like two, and 1867 01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,040 Speaker 1: about an hour into the flight, I found out that 1868 01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:43,599 Speaker 1: had gotten postponed to Tuesday. But by that time you're 1869 01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:46,040 Speaker 1: already in the air, You're flying, and we just stayed here, 1870 01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:47,599 Speaker 1: and you know, it's just more time than you can 1871 01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:50,439 Speaker 1: prepare and get ready for this game. And that having 1872 01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:53,280 Speaker 1: said that, what are you finding out about how the 1873 01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:55,559 Speaker 1: Titans are preparing for this game? Seeing as how they 1874 01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:57,439 Speaker 1: haven't been able to even get in their building for 1875 01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:02,160 Speaker 1: thirteen days or so. Steven, imagine this, you know, imagine 1876 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:05,160 Speaker 1: you had one practice in two weeks and that practice 1877 01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:08,080 Speaker 1: was a glorified walkthrough. You didn't even know that morning 1878 01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:09,560 Speaker 1: if you're going to have a practice because one of 1879 01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:12,240 Speaker 1: your coaches tested positive that morning, so you're kind of 1880 01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:14,240 Speaker 1: waiting around. We talked to Ryan Tannehill about it, and 1881 01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:17,120 Speaker 1: he said, I've been running in a local park trying 1882 01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:20,120 Speaker 1: not to spraten my ankle, you know, on the lumpy grass, 1883 01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:22,960 Speaker 1: like every guy was trying to find somewhere to work 1884 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,360 Speaker 1: out on his own, was trying to find some way 1885 01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:27,160 Speaker 1: to stay in shape. And now you've got to get 1886 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:28,560 Speaker 1: ready to play one of the best teams in the 1887 01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,559 Speaker 1: NFL and the Buffalo bill So it's a tall task. 1888 01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:33,720 Speaker 1: You're down starters on both sides of the ball. You 1889 01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:36,960 Speaker 1: haven't had practice. But Mike Grabel is you know, a 1890 01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:40,000 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick guy, and Bill would never make an excuse. 1891 01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:43,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You're gonna play the game. And that's 1892 01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:45,120 Speaker 1: what Brabel said all week, like, we just have to 1893 01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:47,240 Speaker 1: find a way to go out there and win, and 1894 01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,720 Speaker 1: that's our job to win. So I think it's a 1895 01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:51,840 Speaker 1: tall task with them though, two of the players that 1896 01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:54,360 Speaker 1: they are getting back though, AJ Brown and Taylor Lawan, 1897 01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:58,200 Speaker 1: at least it looks that way according to reports. How 1898 01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,439 Speaker 1: big a shot in the arm can AJ Brown b 1899 01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:02,200 Speaker 1: to kind of make up for some of the losses, 1900 01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:05,519 Speaker 1: knowing Corey Davis isn't playing, presumably Adam Humphreys is going 1901 01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:07,720 Speaker 1: to stay on the COVID nineteen list. How much how 1902 01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:11,520 Speaker 1: much can he help? But I think it was instrumental 1903 01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:13,479 Speaker 1: to try and get Aja Brown back because when you 1904 01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:15,599 Speaker 1: look at their depth chart right now, they have no 1905 01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,439 Speaker 1: they have no backup receivers lifted listed on their depth charts. 1906 01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:21,760 Speaker 1: You know that's with A J. Brown starting, So you 1907 01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,400 Speaker 1: know they had to have one guy that could go 1908 01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:28,040 Speaker 1: challenge you know, this Bill's defense, and you know A J. 1909 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:29,720 Speaker 1: Brown is that guy that you can go to that 1910 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:31,160 Speaker 1: you can throw the ball to the heat and go off. 1911 01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:34,000 Speaker 1: He can make plays. And obviously he's been injured with 1912 01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:36,240 Speaker 1: his knee. You're not exactly sure what you're gonna get 1913 01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:38,840 Speaker 1: from me. Hasn't practiced, you don't know what he's been doing. 1914 01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:42,240 Speaker 1: There's so many uncertainties, you know, with that Tennessee team, 1915 01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:45,000 Speaker 1: But having him back out there gives them a legitimate receiver. 1916 01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:47,240 Speaker 1: I've got to congratulate you. Guys are gonna be the 1917 01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:49,559 Speaker 1: only thing on TV. It's a national game. It's like 1918 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,800 Speaker 1: getting It's like getting one of these Monday Nights, Sunday night, 1919 01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:55,760 Speaker 1: Thursday night football games out of the blue. Give me 1920 01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:57,840 Speaker 1: a little insight. What do you think is key for 1921 01:38:57,960 --> 01:38:59,519 Speaker 1: either team to win it? What's it gonna take for 1922 01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:03,679 Speaker 1: Tennessee to beat the Bills tonight. I think with the Titans, 1923 01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:06,639 Speaker 1: you're going to see a game plan that features Derek 1924 01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:09,080 Speaker 1: Hendry obviously, and they want to shorten this game as 1925 01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:10,880 Speaker 1: much as possible. They want to keep it close, they 1926 01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:12,759 Speaker 1: want to pound the ball, they want to hit play action. 1927 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:15,400 Speaker 1: I think they're going to take advantage, try to take 1928 01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:18,080 Speaker 1: advantage of that linebacking corps for the Bills, you know, 1929 01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:21,280 Speaker 1: look for shots in the middle behind those linebackers in 1930 01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:23,799 Speaker 1: front of those safeties, you know. And for Ryan Tannehill, 1931 01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,880 Speaker 1: he's got to understand what player and what hide are doing. 1932 01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,600 Speaker 1: They want to they want to mix up coverages. They're interchangeable, 1933 01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:31,479 Speaker 1: you know, and they do such a good job with that. 1934 01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:33,360 Speaker 1: If he knows what they're doing, he knows where to 1935 01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:35,599 Speaker 1: go with the ball and they hit play action, which 1936 01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 1: is what they do more than anybody in the NFL, 1937 01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, then they can be successful. I think when 1938 01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:42,519 Speaker 1: you look at the Bills, I've been so impressed with 1939 01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:44,880 Speaker 1: the Bills, you know, watching all four of those games, 1940 01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 1: and what Brian Dable has been able to do. You know, 1941 01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:49,639 Speaker 1: I'm going to use a term tonight that I really 1942 01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,360 Speaker 1: like that Eric Spillesco used with the with the Miami Heat. 1943 01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:56,280 Speaker 1: He called it offensive intentionality, you know, and I think 1944 01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,000 Speaker 1: that Brian Davile has very much been intentional with every 1945 01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:01,280 Speaker 1: game plan. He went into every game plan with a 1946 01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,559 Speaker 1: very specific thing that he wanted to accomplish, and they 1947 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:06,519 Speaker 1: were different. Each game plan was different and they've done 1948 01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:08,719 Speaker 1: an excellent job. If you go if you go man 1949 01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:11,160 Speaker 1: against these guys, you can't cover him. You know, you 1950 01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 1: can't cover digs. They're gonna hit you across the routes 1951 01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:15,639 Speaker 1: all day long. If you try to go zone. Now 1952 01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:18,200 Speaker 1: you're giving time. Beasley's gonna eat you up. But you're 1953 01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,680 Speaker 1: giving time for Josh Allen to be able to sit 1954 01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:22,439 Speaker 1: back there. And he's got the arm strength and he 1955 01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:24,680 Speaker 1: had the accuracy this year to pick a part of his 1956 01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:26,719 Speaker 1: his own. So it's a it's a tough and tallard 1957 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:28,680 Speaker 1: or when you go against these Buffalo Bills with the 1958 01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:33,480 Speaker 1: way that Josh Allen is playing. They sign Stephen Gaskowski 1959 01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:38,000 Speaker 1: right at the beginning of the season. He's local fortunately, 1960 01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:42,960 Speaker 1: so that helped. But he has a nightmarish game this season, 1961 01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:45,160 Speaker 1: and then he has a six field goal game to 1962 01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:51,000 Speaker 1: help them beat Minnesota by a point, which Gaskowski does 1963 01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,000 Speaker 1: this team have? Now, I mean, do they feel like 1964 01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,439 Speaker 1: he's righted the ship after that six field goal game 1965 01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:58,720 Speaker 1: because now he's had two weeks off. Well, this is 1966 01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:00,640 Speaker 1: the guy who is one of the best kickers of 1967 01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:02,679 Speaker 1: all time. You know, he's in the top top five 1968 01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:05,320 Speaker 1: list of all time. Best kickers. He's been in big games, 1969 01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:07,960 Speaker 1: He's played in Super Bowls, won super Bowls, made big kicks, 1970 01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, And I was shocked and surprised when he 1971 01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:13,120 Speaker 1: had that game because he's never had a game like that. 1972 01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:15,519 Speaker 1: Most kickers have a game like that career. He's never 1973 01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:18,519 Speaker 1: had a game like that. I texted him after that game, 1974 01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, we texted back and forth, and basically I 1975 01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:23,759 Speaker 1: just said, hey, listen, it happens to everybody. We're defined 1976 01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:26,160 Speaker 1: by the way we come back from those misses. You know, 1977 01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:29,240 Speaker 1: focus on your fundamentals, you'll be fine. And that's really 1978 01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:31,200 Speaker 1: what he did. Now, you got to understand, Like, and 1979 01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:33,599 Speaker 1: he would never make excuses, but here's a guy who 1980 01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:37,200 Speaker 1: ended his season last year with surgery on his hip, 1981 01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:40,519 Speaker 1: coming back from that in a new team with a 1982 01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:43,360 Speaker 1: new operation, had less than a week to get ready 1983 01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:45,720 Speaker 1: for that first game, and didn't have any games in 1984 01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:48,519 Speaker 1: between having surgery and the first game of the season, 1985 01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:51,519 Speaker 1: and you know, he would say he struggled and didn't 1986 01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,960 Speaker 1: play well, and it wasn't It was unacceptable. And I 1987 01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:57,400 Speaker 1: give Brave a lot of credit. Like Mike said, even 1988 01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:00,760 Speaker 1: right afterwards, not worry about Goskowski at all, and he 1989 01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:03,320 Speaker 1: came back out and he did what he's done his 1990 01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:05,560 Speaker 1: entire career, which has put that game behind him and 1991 01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:08,000 Speaker 1: continue to make kicks. And I don't think you'll see 1992 01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:11,479 Speaker 1: anything different. Well, this is a matchup and the last 1993 01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:13,160 Speaker 1: three times these teams have man you probably know this, 1994 01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,120 Speaker 1: a total of nine points separated these two teams. It's 1995 01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,320 Speaker 1: been a physical matchup. But this is a different kind 1996 01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:20,960 Speaker 1: of Bills team this time. The last three times these 1997 01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:24,400 Speaker 1: teams have met in Sean mcdermot's era, they've been kind 1998 01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 1: of mirror images of each other. Play good defense, play 1999 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:29,679 Speaker 1: the field position game, don't turn it over, and hope 2000 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 1: your quarterback can make a play to help you win it. 2001 01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:35,599 Speaker 1: This time, the Bills are a completely different football team. 2002 01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:38,720 Speaker 1: They are offense first. Like you said, and what have 2003 01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:42,439 Speaker 1: you seen and the Bills and you in your research, 2004 01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:44,559 Speaker 1: you've probably done this. The Bills go four wide more 2005 01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:46,960 Speaker 1: than anybody in the league. They go three wide almost 2006 01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:50,400 Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, they go man. And so what 2007 01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:52,320 Speaker 1: does that mean to you coming into this game against 2008 01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:56,240 Speaker 1: this Tennessee defense. What really stood out to me was surprising. 2009 01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:58,280 Speaker 1: From the first game, the first pass of the year 2010 01:42:58,320 --> 01:43:00,200 Speaker 1: went to Gave Davis, and you didn't think he get 2011 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,799 Speaker 1: a lot of time as a rookie in this receiving corps. 2012 01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,720 Speaker 1: And then Brian davel Tells says, hey, listen, he was 2013 01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:08,640 Speaker 1: so good in training camp. I changed what I was 2014 01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:10,960 Speaker 1: gonna do. I said, I gotta go ten personnel because 2015 01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,360 Speaker 1: I have to have him on the field, and he's 2016 01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:16,400 Speaker 1: really had an impact on what they wanted to do offensively. 2017 01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:19,280 Speaker 1: You talked about it going ten personnel more than anybody 2018 01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:21,280 Speaker 1: else in the NFL twenty three percent of the time, 2019 01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:24,040 Speaker 1: and that's because of how good Gave Davis has been. 2020 01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,240 Speaker 1: And they've talked about I'm not just catching the ball, 2021 01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:29,599 Speaker 1: you know, Steve being a complete receiver and unselfish receiver, 2022 01:43:29,720 --> 01:43:32,400 Speaker 1: going in, digging out the linebackers of that defense in 2023 01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:35,800 Speaker 1: the defensive end, blocking down field on runs, just doing 2024 01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:38,120 Speaker 1: anything he can do to help that team. You know, 2025 01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:41,240 Speaker 1: when you have guys like Digs and Brown and Beasley 2026 01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:43,960 Speaker 1: to add to that, you know, it's been an offense 2027 01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:47,479 Speaker 1: that has been unstoppable. And that's because of Josh Allen though, Like, 2028 01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:50,479 Speaker 1: but let's be honest, he's been so good this year. 2029 01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:52,960 Speaker 1: And I think what I went back and looked at 2030 01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:56,280 Speaker 1: my notes from I've done a game each year, at 2031 01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:58,599 Speaker 1: least one game each year with the Bills when Josh 2032 01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:00,040 Speaker 1: has been playing. So I love to go back and 2033 01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:02,120 Speaker 1: look at my notes and see what do they say. 2034 01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:04,000 Speaker 1: What were they working on? You know that first year 2035 01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:06,960 Speaker 1: he's really working on footwork, you know, in that second 2036 01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:09,880 Speaker 1: year and he was working on understanding where to go 2037 01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:13,880 Speaker 1: with the ball pre snap, understanding defenses. Now I think 2038 01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:15,880 Speaker 1: that he has that that he has a confidence in 2039 01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:18,680 Speaker 1: his receivers, that he understands the offense, that he can 2040 01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:21,320 Speaker 1: look at a defense that diagnosed where to go. And 2041 01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:24,160 Speaker 1: then you put that together with what he's done with 2042 01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:27,840 Speaker 1: his fundamentals, you know, trying to become a rotational quarterback 2043 01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:30,600 Speaker 1: and throw the ball with his hips not necessarily with 2044 01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:34,120 Speaker 1: weight transfer. I think you've seen a Josh Ellen that 2045 01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,880 Speaker 1: now is free to just throw the ball and trust 2046 01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:40,560 Speaker 1: himself because the mechanics are much better. He's under understanding 2047 01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:42,600 Speaker 1: the game better. And then you see the results on 2048 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,920 Speaker 1: the field. And then just with respect to the whole 2049 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,200 Speaker 1: they have to fill with Milano out of the lineup, 2050 01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:50,479 Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to be Tyrrell Johnson, who 2051 01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:53,080 Speaker 1: the last time he played was playing the mic and 2052 01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:55,280 Speaker 1: plays a Tremaine Emmons back in Week two when he 2053 01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:58,040 Speaker 1: made his first NFL start. What is the sense you're 2054 01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:01,080 Speaker 1: getting from coach McDermot and coach Frasier as to what 2055 01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:04,200 Speaker 1: they feel they can truly expect out of him playing 2056 01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:05,880 Speaker 1: in a different spot now than he did a few 2057 01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:10,080 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Well, there's defense. Uh, there's good, and there's 2058 01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,080 Speaker 1: good and bad in it. One. They haven't played near 2059 01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:13,840 Speaker 1: as well as they have in the last couple of years, 2060 01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:16,280 Speaker 1: and I think if you look forward, you expect them 2061 01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:18,519 Speaker 1: to play a lot better. But they struggled at that 2062 01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:22,160 Speaker 1: linebacker position. They struggled with injuries. Tremaine Edemans has been 2063 01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:24,759 Speaker 1: injured all years since that first game and his shoulder 2064 01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:26,960 Speaker 1: and he hasn't been the same, you know, And now 2065 01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,000 Speaker 1: without Matt Milano, that's a weakness in that defense. And 2066 01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,920 Speaker 1: they have not tackled near as well. And Leslie Frasier 2067 01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:35,000 Speaker 1: talked about that, like, I've been doing things in practice, 2068 01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:37,040 Speaker 1: but you can't tackle to the ground in practice, and 2069 01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:38,840 Speaker 1: so you can only do so much to try and 2070 01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:41,960 Speaker 1: fix those issues with tackling. And when you're going up 2071 01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,280 Speaker 1: against a guy like Derrick Henry, like you better bring 2072 01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:46,960 Speaker 1: the wood and you better get penetration up front and 2073 01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,679 Speaker 1: the defensive line and make him go sideway, stop them early, 2074 01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:51,519 Speaker 1: and then you need all eleven get into the ball. 2075 01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:53,719 Speaker 1: All right. So these both these teams have some guys 2076 01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:58,080 Speaker 1: on their defense, some new faces and pretty notable faces. 2077 01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:00,280 Speaker 1: Josh Norman for the Buffalo Bills got thrust in the 2078 01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:02,519 Speaker 1: lineup last week. They were going to probably sprinkle him 2079 01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:04,400 Speaker 1: in last week, and all of a sudden he ends 2080 01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:06,120 Speaker 1: up playing most of the game because of the injury 2081 01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:09,120 Speaker 1: to Levi Wallace. And of course Jadeveon Clowney for Tennessee 2082 01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:12,920 Speaker 1: who got signed early in the season and now is 2083 01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:16,000 Speaker 1: in there. He plays just about most of the defensive snaps. 2084 01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:18,040 Speaker 1: Give us your take on Josh Norman for the Bills, 2085 01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:20,960 Speaker 1: the impact he could have, and also Jadeveon Clowning the 2086 01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:24,120 Speaker 1: kind of player he is. Well, what a great signing 2087 01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:26,120 Speaker 1: it was for Sean McDermot to go get a guy 2088 01:46:26,160 --> 01:46:28,600 Speaker 1: like Norman. And I think the only reason that you 2089 01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:31,720 Speaker 1: could do that is because you created this culture over 2090 01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:34,639 Speaker 1: the last three years and you're confident in your culture 2091 01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:37,080 Speaker 1: to bring a guy like that in. Josh. Josh got 2092 01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:39,720 Speaker 1: some dog at him and he's got the right mentality 2093 01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:42,679 Speaker 1: all the players talked about, you know, how well he's 2094 01:46:42,720 --> 01:46:44,880 Speaker 1: fit in since he's been there. And you saw the 2095 01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:46,920 Speaker 1: big play there against the Raiders when he punched the 2096 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,200 Speaker 1: ball out and that was a game changing play right 2097 01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:52,400 Speaker 1: there to kind of seal that win. But they desperately 2098 01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:53,960 Speaker 1: need him right now, and you know, and that's a 2099 01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:56,360 Speaker 1: big pickup, and I think he fits well. I think 2100 01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:59,439 Speaker 1: probably the Bills culture can do as much for him 2101 01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:02,799 Speaker 1: and his career as he can do for that Bill's defense. 2102 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,439 Speaker 1: You know, on the other side of the ball with Clowney, 2103 01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:07,760 Speaker 1: you look at what he did against Minnesota and how 2104 01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:09,760 Speaker 1: good he was in that game, and that's that's the 2105 01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:12,439 Speaker 1: Genevan Clowney that we've been used to seeing. So you know, 2106 01:47:12,439 --> 01:47:14,080 Speaker 1: as the Bills, you have to know where it's because 2107 01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:16,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna line them up all over that defensive line 2108 01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:19,000 Speaker 1: and he may be outside, he may be inside. They're 2109 01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:21,519 Speaker 1: trying to find matchups that are favorable and get him 2110 01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:23,760 Speaker 1: in a position where you know, you have to take 2111 01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:26,080 Speaker 1: your line and slide him to wherever he is and 2112 01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:29,320 Speaker 1: help those guys. And I think they would be smart. 2113 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:33,480 Speaker 1: Anytime the Clowney goes out and he's on the sidelines. 2114 01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:36,080 Speaker 1: If you're the Bills, you go hurry up and you 2115 01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:37,960 Speaker 1: get to the line and you keep him on the 2116 01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:40,080 Speaker 1: sideline for as long as you can until there's a 2117 01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:41,960 Speaker 1: break and he can get back in. And so I 2118 01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:43,880 Speaker 1: think they would they'd be smart to be watching that 2119 01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:46,519 Speaker 1: looking for that. Anytime he subs out gets a little break, boom, 2120 01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:48,240 Speaker 1: you go hurry up and don't let him back on 2121 01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:51,320 Speaker 1: the field. And then we're talking to Jay Feely, CBS 2122 01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:55,000 Speaker 1: sports analyst doing the game tonight on CBS seven o'clock 2123 01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:59,600 Speaker 1: kick off. Jay, look at the personnel groupings that the 2124 01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,479 Speaker 1: Titan like to run offensively. There's a good amount of 2125 01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:06,960 Speaker 1: twelve personnel even some thirteen times. I mean, they need 2126 01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:09,240 Speaker 1: tight ends on the field to make this offense go, 2127 01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:10,960 Speaker 1: not only in the run game, but you know they 2128 01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:12,880 Speaker 1: use John Smith and awful lot in the pass game. 2129 01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:18,280 Speaker 1: So being down Michael Pruitt and having to plug in 2130 01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:20,559 Speaker 1: a backup Jeff Swain, I know is expected to be 2131 01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:23,240 Speaker 1: the guy filling in. They don't have their fullback lasting game. 2132 01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:26,080 Speaker 1: He's not expected to play. How are they going to 2133 01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:29,280 Speaker 1: be able to execute with the personnel groupings they like 2134 01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:31,759 Speaker 1: to as effectively as they have in the past without 2135 01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:35,559 Speaker 1: these guys who knows, you know, I don't think they 2136 01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:37,400 Speaker 1: even know. I really don't. I mean, I think you're 2137 01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:39,960 Speaker 1: in a situation where you don't know what's going to 2138 01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:42,599 Speaker 1: happen in this game. Looking at as an analyst from 2139 01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:46,280 Speaker 1: the Bills perspective or even from the Titans perspective, and 2140 01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:49,479 Speaker 1: I expect a lot of heavy personnel. I expect him 2141 01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:51,240 Speaker 1: to get in there and try and pound the ball, 2142 01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:54,960 Speaker 1: especially with the injuries at the linebacker corp with the 2143 01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:57,760 Speaker 1: Bills and what they have going and see, can we 2144 01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:01,000 Speaker 1: run the ball? Can we just be effective double tight 2145 01:49:01,120 --> 01:49:03,240 Speaker 1: ends and go in there and just pound the ball 2146 01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:05,360 Speaker 1: and then try to hit some play action shots down 2147 01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:08,000 Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, And I would anticipate that as well. 2148 01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,600 Speaker 1: And how what about the Bills matching up against the 2149 01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:13,559 Speaker 1: three tight set. We've talked about different scenarios. They go 2150 01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:17,000 Speaker 1: so much nickel, it's all, it's their base package. Two linebackers, 2151 01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:20,400 Speaker 1: five dbs. You think there could be a philosophical change 2152 01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:24,120 Speaker 1: there to go heavier and just anticipate more tight endplay, 2153 01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:28,240 Speaker 1: throw an extra linebacker, maybe maybe go short yardage goal line. 2154 01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:32,200 Speaker 1: A lot of this game when it's regular down a distance, Yeah, 2155 01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:34,200 Speaker 1: you're right, and you could see some barefront, you know, 2156 01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:36,439 Speaker 1: And that's that's something that around the NFL. They're doing 2157 01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:38,760 Speaker 1: a lot. A lot of the team's base defense is 2158 01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:41,240 Speaker 1: really bare now, and I think you could see that tonight. 2159 01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:42,840 Speaker 1: You can go one way or the other, you know. 2160 01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,679 Speaker 1: I did the Chargers game in the playoffs a couple 2161 01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:46,479 Speaker 1: of years ago when they played against Baltimore in that 2162 01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:50,280 Speaker 1: volunted running rushing attack, and they had seven eight dbs 2163 01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:52,439 Speaker 1: on the field because they wanted speed, they wanted to 2164 01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:54,240 Speaker 1: get to the ball. Care a little different when you're 2165 01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:56,760 Speaker 1: talking about Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, though. This is 2166 01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:59,080 Speaker 1: a This is a physical team that wants to punch 2167 01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:01,240 Speaker 1: you in the mouth, I think more than any other game. 2168 01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,920 Speaker 1: With everything that's gone on this week and the players 2169 01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:05,800 Speaker 1: that aren't out there, that's what they're gonna try to 2170 01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:08,200 Speaker 1: do tonight. All right, Jay, Well, you're the only game 2171 01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:10,639 Speaker 1: in town tonight, So enjoy it up there in Nashville. 2172 01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:12,559 Speaker 1: All right, we'll be watching for sure. Try not to 2173 01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:14,720 Speaker 1: think about the six hundred million people that are gonna 2174 01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:17,240 Speaker 1: be to have their eyeballs on you. I'm gonna talk 2175 01:50:17,240 --> 01:50:19,599 Speaker 1: about you tonight, task her if I get a chance. 2176 01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about why you should be in the 2177 01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:23,479 Speaker 1: Hall of fair I hope this game is so out 2178 01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:25,320 Speaker 1: of reach for Buffalo that you get a chance to 2179 01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:30,160 Speaker 1: do that. All right. Jay Philey from CBS Sports, he'll 2180 01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:32,760 Speaker 1: be doing the game tonight with Tom McCarthy on CBS 2181 01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:35,720 Speaker 1: seven o'clock kickoffs, So we look forward to checking the 2182 01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:38,120 Speaker 1: game out and listening to him and Tom, who I 2183 01:50:38,120 --> 01:50:40,479 Speaker 1: know was a good friend of yours and got on 2184 01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:42,880 Speaker 1: the games with Tom. Guy with golden pipe. Oh, he's 2185 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:46,160 Speaker 1: got the he's got golden pipes. He's got Tom McCarthy's 2186 01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:48,360 Speaker 1: got a voice like that. And Don Cricky, who I 2187 01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:51,439 Speaker 1: worked with for did who Don Cricky did, did NFL 2188 01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:56,360 Speaker 1: games in five decades. Yeah, And both of those guys 2189 01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:59,440 Speaker 1: have the voice that is like, you know, it commands 2190 01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:02,720 Speaker 1: your attention. They call it vog that's like the voice. Yeah, 2191 01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:06,080 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. They could cut through an iceberg. Those guys. 2192 01:51:06,160 --> 01:51:10,360 Speaker 1: Golden pipes for sure. Those two. We are still talking 2193 01:51:10,560 --> 01:51:14,080 Speaker 1: about who you need to step up in tonight's game 2194 01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:16,479 Speaker 1: against the Titans. We know that the Bills are going 2195 01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:19,599 Speaker 1: to be shorthanded in a couple of spots linebacker being 2196 01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:21,519 Speaker 1: one of them, and we want to know from you 2197 01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:24,599 Speaker 1: who you want to step up tonight to pick up 2198 01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:28,160 Speaker 1: the slack, so to speak. Trudevious White is obviously going 2199 01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:31,760 Speaker 1: to be a name that's gonna have all eyeballs on 2200 01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:33,519 Speaker 1: him when the inactives come out an hour and a 2201 01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:36,640 Speaker 1: half before kickoff. Whether he's able to go remains to 2202 01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:40,400 Speaker 1: be seen. Did not practice last week, and you know 2203 01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,479 Speaker 1: they put the status report out on Saturday. Was listed 2204 01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:47,559 Speaker 1: as questionable, so who knows where it goes. Maybe the 2205 01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:49,800 Speaker 1: extra couple of days arrest helped him, We don't know. 2206 01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:53,280 Speaker 1: We're really in the dark about his status and that 2207 01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:56,000 Speaker 1: of some other questionable players for the Bills because this 2208 01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:58,479 Speaker 1: game week has not gone off as normal. There have 2209 01:51:58,520 --> 01:52:00,439 Speaker 1: been a few extra days, which you think with extra 2210 01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:03,400 Speaker 1: days of treatment Steve would help, but it really just 2211 01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:06,080 Speaker 1: it remains to be seen. We just don't know. M 2212 01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:08,120 Speaker 1: be interesting to see who can and who cannot go 2213 01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:10,559 Speaker 1: for the build. Yeah, believe me, for both of these teams. 2214 01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:15,519 Speaker 1: That ninety minute officials meeting is huge tonight. I know 2215 01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:17,920 Speaker 1: what that is is ninety before minutes before kickoff? You 2216 01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:22,080 Speaker 1: have you been one not have been? It's surprisingly informal, 2217 01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:26,320 Speaker 1: but the pr guys for both clubs have these little 2218 01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:30,320 Speaker 1: note these little forms that are filled out the inactives 2219 01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:32,320 Speaker 1: and they hand them in. They they exchange them and 2220 01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:35,200 Speaker 1: hand them in at this at this meeting, and you 2221 01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:39,000 Speaker 1: know there's a you know, select group of people there, 2222 01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:41,080 Speaker 1: but it's in the tunnel. It's just yeah, and it's 2223 01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:44,240 Speaker 1: the head official and all this stuff, and those meet today. 2224 01:52:45,439 --> 01:52:47,720 Speaker 1: They'll if if it was a normal game where there's 2225 01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:50,040 Speaker 1: media and all that stuff, there'd be fifty people around 2226 01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,360 Speaker 1: that that that meeting. They want to know who the 2227 01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:54,280 Speaker 1: inactives are for this one because it's I think it's 2228 01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:57,120 Speaker 1: really intriguing. On the tweet sheet, which is brought to 2229 01:52:57,160 --> 01:53:01,040 Speaker 1: you as always by Corrigan Moving Systems, Adam says Tyrrell 2230 01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:03,679 Speaker 1: Dotson needs to have a big game. If Trey White 2231 01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:05,680 Speaker 1: is out, the Titans will likely attack us through the 2232 01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:08,719 Speaker 1: year more than they usually like to. However, Derrick Henry 2233 01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:11,080 Speaker 1: will force the Bills d to honor the run. Play 2234 01:53:11,080 --> 01:53:14,360 Speaker 1: action pass from Tannehill could expose a big weakness in 2235 01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:18,200 Speaker 1: our defense. Yeah, I mean, Tyrell Dotson has been a 2236 01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:20,639 Speaker 1: popular choice. He was my choice too. I think he's 2237 01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:23,160 Speaker 1: capable of having a game for these guys. I mean, 2238 01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:26,879 Speaker 1: he flashed in that first start of his career against Miami, 2239 01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:28,519 Speaker 1: and if you think about it, he was calling the 2240 01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:31,720 Speaker 1: defenses on top of everything and playing special teams. I 2241 01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:36,240 Speaker 1: think this game fits him better than the Miami because 2242 01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:39,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't have as much on his plate. Right Well, Yeah, 2243 01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:42,120 Speaker 1: I think he's a little more old school linebacker than 2244 01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:45,720 Speaker 1: Milano and even Tremaine. I think he's a go get him, 2245 01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:49,000 Speaker 1: hit him kind of guy, and this kind of game 2246 01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:50,720 Speaker 1: where that you think that offense is going to punch 2247 01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:53,880 Speaker 1: you in the mouth kind of plays right towards him, 2248 01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:57,240 Speaker 1: you know. So, I'm yeah, I think this is a 2249 01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:01,000 Speaker 1: better fit matchup wise for Terrell Dots than it was 2250 01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:03,519 Speaker 1: in Week two when he was on the field in Miami. 2251 01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:07,800 Speaker 1: From Jason on the tweet sheet, Jerry Hughes, I know 2252 01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:09,680 Speaker 1: he was playing hurt last year, but I feel like 2253 01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:12,040 Speaker 1: he's been on the decline for the past couple of seasons. 2254 01:54:12,200 --> 01:54:14,080 Speaker 1: I want to see him get back to the disruptive 2255 01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:17,400 Speaker 1: force he was a few years ago. I know Jerry's 2256 01:54:17,520 --> 01:54:21,719 Speaker 1: very good in the PF metrics for pressure rate, but 2257 01:54:22,040 --> 01:54:24,599 Speaker 1: people want to see him, Yeah, people want to see 2258 01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:28,439 Speaker 1: him finish some plays with some sacks, and I get that, 2259 01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:31,960 Speaker 1: but teams are hard to sack. Yeah, the ball is 2260 01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:34,760 Speaker 1: just coming out so quick, they're hard to sack. You're 2261 01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:37,840 Speaker 1: not seeing anybody getting a ton of sacks this year. 2262 01:54:38,240 --> 01:54:40,240 Speaker 1: Mario Addison is leading the Bills and he's got what 2263 01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:43,080 Speaker 1: three and a half two and a half, Yeah, I 2264 01:54:43,080 --> 01:54:45,000 Speaker 1: want to say it's two and a a half. He's got 2265 01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:46,480 Speaker 1: two and a half sacks on the year. And just 2266 01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, you don't see any teams like you know 2267 01:54:48,520 --> 01:54:51,680 Speaker 1: back in the you know, two eight years ago when 2268 01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:55,280 Speaker 1: JJ Watt was getting nineteen sacks in the season. Stuff. 2269 01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:59,280 Speaker 1: Nobody's doing that except for Aaron Donald. Well for last 2270 01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:03,360 Speaker 1: week different four last week. Yeah, he had four against 2271 01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:08,920 Speaker 1: the Washington football team. So it's just not that kind 2272 01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:11,040 Speaker 1: of year. It's not a defense year this year. No, 2273 01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:14,680 Speaker 1: it's just not. For whatever reason. We can talk all 2274 01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:16,960 Speaker 1: they wanted, and I'm not one to at all put 2275 01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:20,040 Speaker 1: my tinfoil hat on, but I do think the way 2276 01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:22,520 Speaker 1: that they have told the officials to handle the season 2277 01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:25,240 Speaker 1: is different than it has been. I think the play 2278 01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:28,840 Speaker 1: the points of emphasis are much different, and it's it's 2279 01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:31,560 Speaker 1: just what you said, let him play. If the guy 2280 01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:34,120 Speaker 1: gets a real big advantage, and it's wrong call him 2281 01:55:34,160 --> 01:55:36,800 Speaker 1: on it, But for the most part, let these guys play. 2282 01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:39,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's what has made you guys like 2283 01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:46,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you know, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, you know, 2284 01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:49,080 Speaker 1: kind of all these guys. There's just a lot of 2285 01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:51,080 Speaker 1: time for all these quarterbacks to sit back there and 2286 01:55:51,120 --> 01:55:53,600 Speaker 1: scan the field. Last one from Michael on the tweet sheet. 2287 01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:56,560 Speaker 1: Have got three names for you, Dawson Knox, Devin Singletary, 2288 01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:59,120 Speaker 1: and Josh Norman. Singletary is probably the only one we 2289 01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:03,680 Speaker 1: haven't heard to this point. And you know, I think 2290 01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:06,160 Speaker 1: the running game, We've said this on this show. The 2291 01:56:06,240 --> 01:56:08,680 Speaker 1: running game now is a compliment to the passing game. 2292 01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:11,680 Speaker 1: It's not the other way around anymore, right, And they've 2293 01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:14,320 Speaker 1: been I think this. It strikes me, and I couldn't 2294 01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:15,920 Speaker 1: go back. I didn't do a study on this or 2295 01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:17,880 Speaker 1: watched you know, I watched the games, but I didn't 2296 01:56:17,880 --> 01:56:21,960 Speaker 1: go back and like write stuff down. This nature it 2297 01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:24,720 Speaker 1: strikes me is that the Bills are running the ball 2298 01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:28,800 Speaker 1: enough and you'll get like a run here for two yards, 2299 01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:30,840 Speaker 1: or run there for one yard, or run here for 2300 01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:33,280 Speaker 1: three yards, or run here for minus one and then 2301 01:56:33,320 --> 01:56:36,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden fifteen yard run. You know what 2302 01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:38,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying. You can get a lot of that. And 2303 01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:41,040 Speaker 1: the Bills have been effective and they've kept teams more 2304 01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:43,400 Speaker 1: than honest with their running game, but it has been 2305 01:56:43,520 --> 01:56:46,600 Speaker 1: feast or famine in that running game. So I'm I 2306 01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:49,680 Speaker 1: think it'll probably be more of that. Although this Tennessee 2307 01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:53,800 Speaker 1: Titan run defense maybe maybe the worst run defense and 2308 01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:55,600 Speaker 1: the Bills and face I haven't checked it what the 2309 01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,480 Speaker 1: Jets and the Dolphins have done since they played the Bills, 2310 01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:02,960 Speaker 1: and run defense has been gashed twenty ninth in the league, 2311 01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:05,080 Speaker 1: given up one hundred and sixty six yards a game 2312 01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:06,960 Speaker 1: on the ground. So I don't think the Bill and 2313 01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:10,440 Speaker 1: I don't think the Bill played Minnesota good running team, right. 2314 01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:15,360 Speaker 1: Jags are okay, Jacksonville's lightening them up. They had a 2315 01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:18,480 Speaker 1: busted a couple of really long runs, so maybe that 2316 01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:23,440 Speaker 1: maybe they're better than maybe the maybe the you know, 2317 01:57:23,440 --> 01:57:25,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans think they're a little better run defense. They were, 2318 01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:27,680 Speaker 1: because we've seen it here in years past where the 2319 01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:29,760 Speaker 1: run defense is pretty good, but they'll snap off. They'll 2320 01:57:29,760 --> 01:57:32,640 Speaker 1: give up two long runs a game, you know, so, 2321 01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:36,520 Speaker 1: but those runs count and that's what I think. That's 2322 01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:39,000 Speaker 1: what they've been victim to this year. The Titans have 2323 01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:42,760 Speaker 1: been because I know that Jacksonville Jaguars snapped off. Wow. Oh, 2324 01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:45,320 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that's I didn't see that in 2325 01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:49,400 Speaker 1: the highlights. Just a lot of long runs. So we'll see. 2326 01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:51,400 Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones at eight o three oh 2327 01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:53,240 Speaker 1: five fifty Rick and all. But he want us to 2328 01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:55,160 Speaker 1: talk about the running game. Rick, welcome to the show. 2329 01:57:55,160 --> 01:57:58,240 Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Hey? I you know, 2330 01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:03,240 Speaker 1: everybody's talking defense. Thebody's talking offense. I noticed last game, 2331 01:58:03,280 --> 01:58:05,200 Speaker 1: and then if they at leads to a question to 2332 01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:08,960 Speaker 1: Steve Asker, is that the putting unit has not been 2333 01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:11,760 Speaker 1: up to fire up to snuff either, especially when we're 2334 01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:14,280 Speaker 1: inside the inside the fifty and we have to put 2335 01:58:14,320 --> 01:58:18,640 Speaker 1: them back. I think that really puts on. It takes on, 2336 01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:20,320 Speaker 1: puts on a lot of pressure when you get in 2337 01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:23,880 Speaker 1: within the five yard line opposed to just kicking in 2338 01:58:23,920 --> 01:58:27,440 Speaker 1: the end zone and get into the twenty. Yeah. I 2339 01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:29,360 Speaker 1: agree with you there, Rick, I think they've missed a 2340 01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:33,120 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities. But Orkez, now he's got a big leg, 2341 01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:35,760 Speaker 1: no question about it. But the thing with Corey has 2342 01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:40,160 Speaker 1: always been consistency, He'll snap off a sixty five yard 2343 01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:45,320 Speaker 1: punt followed by a twenty eight yard punt, and I'd 2344 01:58:45,400 --> 01:58:48,120 Speaker 1: be more happy with a fifty five yard punt every 2345 01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:51,440 Speaker 1: time than having him boom one every once in a while, 2346 01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:53,680 Speaker 1: and then everything else is a little inconsistent. I think 2347 01:58:53,680 --> 01:58:55,480 Speaker 1: it's easier for the guys to cover when they know 2348 01:58:55,520 --> 01:58:58,280 Speaker 1: they're going to get a certain sort of kick. But 2349 01:58:58,440 --> 01:59:00,440 Speaker 1: right now, I know this. If I was a guy 2350 01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:02,760 Speaker 1: wh when you're releasing and you get up the field 2351 01:59:02,800 --> 01:59:04,720 Speaker 1: and you hear the thump of the kick, and you 2352 01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:06,880 Speaker 1: wait that half second four to get up in the air, 2353 01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:08,800 Speaker 1: and then you look up kind of quick to find it, 2354 01:59:09,920 --> 01:59:12,640 Speaker 1: I would have to do that with Corey bar Orquez 2355 01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:16,800 Speaker 1: because nobody knows where it's going, and not to mention 2356 01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:19,680 Speaker 1: it's a lefty kicker, right, So I will agree with 2357 01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:22,320 Speaker 1: you Rick. All right, we have to take a break, 2358 01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:24,160 Speaker 1: but when we return, we'll take a couple more of 2359 01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:26,480 Speaker 1: your phone calls and maybe get into a little NFL 2360 01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:30,640 Speaker 1: true false. Here on a game night edition of One 2361 01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:33,640 Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health, this is Buffalo 2362 01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:49,880 Speaker 1: Bills Radio.

Yeah, you may want to be there for that. 2375 02:00:21,560 --> 02:00:23,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, because I'm gonna be there anyway. Right, 2376 02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get there like they'll probably they'll probably feed you. 2377 02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:30,240 Speaker 1: You'll be all right. Yeah, well you'd think, but um, 2378 02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:32,840 Speaker 1: no guarantees. But yeah, yeah, whenever the game starts, I'll 2379 02:00:32,880 --> 02:00:34,960 Speaker 1: be there. Well that's that's good to know. I'm sure 2380 02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:38,960 Speaker 1: Murph is happy to hear that. Yeah. Yeah, barely made 2381 02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:42,440 Speaker 1: it last week. Eight o three oh five fifty the 2382 02:00:42,520 --> 02:00:44,840 Speaker 1: number to get on board here, we're asking you, among 2383 02:00:44,920 --> 02:00:46,600 Speaker 1: other things, I mean, you can cause about anything you 2384 02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:48,720 Speaker 1: want to say about the game, But who you think 2385 02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:50,440 Speaker 1: needs to step up tonight? Know when the Bills may 2386 02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:53,240 Speaker 1: have a couple of guys uh too nicked up to 2387 02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:55,640 Speaker 1: play tonight. We already know Matt Milano's out and there's 2388 02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:59,320 Speaker 1: seven other guys questionable. So who you who you're looking 2389 02:00:59,320 --> 02:01:01,800 Speaker 1: for to pick up the slack for tonight's game. At 2390 02:01:01,840 --> 02:01:05,120 Speaker 1: seven o'clock down at Nissan Stadium, we go to John 2391 02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:08,160 Speaker 1: in Lockport, who's been waiting on hold there for a 2392 02:01:08,160 --> 02:01:09,880 Speaker 1: little bit. John, Welcome to the show. What do you 2393 02:01:09,920 --> 02:01:13,120 Speaker 1: have for us? Good afternoon, and gentlemen, thank you Steve. 2394 02:01:13,240 --> 02:01:17,600 Speaker 1: You deserve that gold jacket by all means. My question 2395 02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:22,040 Speaker 1: is why are the NFL thinking about bubbles in Dallas 2396 02:01:22,120 --> 02:01:24,960 Speaker 1: in LA, two of the hotspots for this COVID disease 2397 02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:30,040 Speaker 1: When each team each week travel to or play home 2398 02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:34,800 Speaker 1: their games, and if they're gonna have playoffs, why not 2399 02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:39,960 Speaker 1: have the playoff teams play after respective homesite if they 2400 02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:44,280 Speaker 1: are leading the divisions, and then bubbles for the super 2401 02:01:44,320 --> 02:01:47,680 Speaker 1: Bowl for the two weeks at the Super Bowl. Well, 2402 02:01:47,680 --> 02:01:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll talk about all of this stuff and 2403 02:01:50,080 --> 02:01:53,000 Speaker 1: nothing's been decided. John. I think they're just they're just 2404 02:01:53,080 --> 02:01:56,800 Speaker 1: in exploring emulating stages here and I floratory and I'll 2405 02:01:56,800 --> 02:01:59,720 Speaker 1: tell you this, it'll come. The voice that matters will 2406 02:01:59,760 --> 02:02:07,280 Speaker 1: be Sills, Kevin Sills, Alan Sills, the chief chief chief 2407 02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:10,480 Speaker 1: of infectious diseases for the Buffalo, for the Buffalo, for 2408 02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:14,200 Speaker 1: the in National Football League. Um, they'll decide what would 2409 02:02:14,200 --> 02:02:16,360 Speaker 1: be best and give the league the best chance to 2410 02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:18,840 Speaker 1: get the games in without interruption. And if it means 2411 02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:21,520 Speaker 1: bubbling up in Dallas in LA, they'll do it. If 2412 02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:23,960 Speaker 1: it means every team is in their own bubble in 2413 02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,760 Speaker 1: their own home city, they'll do that as well. Um. 2414 02:02:27,120 --> 02:02:30,640 Speaker 1: But for right now, we've heard that they're talking about 2415 02:02:30,760 --> 02:02:33,440 Speaker 1: LA and Dallas. We've also heard that they may bubble 2416 02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:35,720 Speaker 1: up in their own home city. So for many when 2417 02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:37,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs start, guys leave their houses, they go to 2418 02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:40,640 Speaker 1: a hotel and stay there. Um, that may be an 2419 02:02:40,640 --> 02:02:43,840 Speaker 1: option as well. But everything's on the table, John, So 2420 02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:46,200 Speaker 1: don't you know, you may have a great option, but 2421 02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:48,840 Speaker 1: they and they've probably considered it. And the other thing 2422 02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:53,080 Speaker 1: to think about here too, John, is the NBA bubbled 2423 02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:57,520 Speaker 1: up in Orlando, Florida. I mean that Orlando, I mean 2424 02:02:57,560 --> 02:03:02,880 Speaker 1: Florida was radioactive when they bubble up down there in July. Yeah, aaretically, 2425 02:03:02,880 --> 02:03:04,680 Speaker 1: if you bubble up, doesn't matter where you are. So, 2426 02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:07,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in a bubble and the sanctity 2427 02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:09,920 Speaker 1: of the bubble is maintained, there's nowhere for the virus 2428 02:03:09,960 --> 02:03:12,400 Speaker 1: to go. So whether you're in a hotspot state or not, 2429 02:03:12,480 --> 02:03:16,600 Speaker 1: if the bubble is kept intact as the way it 2430 02:03:16,640 --> 02:03:19,320 Speaker 1: should be, it probably doesn't matter if you're in a 2431 02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:21,920 Speaker 1: in a hot state or not. So that's just the 2432 02:03:21,960 --> 02:03:24,080 Speaker 1: way we see it. I don't know if you feel differently, 2433 02:03:24,120 --> 02:03:27,640 Speaker 1: Maree percent. Even the NHL I had the bubble and 2434 02:03:27,680 --> 02:03:30,720 Speaker 1: they had no incidences. Also, right, these teams that are 2435 02:03:30,760 --> 02:03:33,120 Speaker 1: on the road all the time, and some of the 2436 02:03:33,120 --> 02:03:36,640 Speaker 1: players that do not live in say Buffalo, are traveling 2437 02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:38,760 Speaker 1: back to their homes and then they're coming back to 2438 02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:41,600 Speaker 1: their teams and possibly bringing the virus with them. So 2439 02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:46,200 Speaker 1: I don't understand the you know the two hot spots again, Well, 2440 02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:48,600 Speaker 1: if you're in a bubble, though, John, you're not going 2441 02:03:48,680 --> 02:03:51,240 Speaker 1: home or you're not traveling anywhere. You're in the bubble, 2442 02:03:51,280 --> 02:03:54,200 Speaker 1: and that's it. A bubble is a true bubble. Well, 2443 02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:56,640 Speaker 1: what he's saying is though, is now they're not. They're like, 2444 02:03:56,760 --> 02:03:59,000 Speaker 1: right now, they're not. But yes, when they put the 2445 02:03:59,120 --> 02:04:02,040 Speaker 1: NBA players in the bubble, they tested them for two 2446 02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:05,080 Speaker 1: weeks before they put them in the bubble, and if 2447 02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:07,520 Speaker 1: they didn't if they tested positive, they had to wait 2448 02:04:07,960 --> 02:04:09,440 Speaker 1: before they could go in the bubble. They had to 2449 02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:12,000 Speaker 1: quarantine for another fourteen days and then they went in 2450 02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:16,040 Speaker 1: and the sanctity of the bubble was maintained. For the NBA, 2451 02:04:16,080 --> 02:04:18,640 Speaker 1: it was Orlando. For the NHL, it was Toronto at Edmonton, 2452 02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:21,960 Speaker 1: and it worked. There's no place for the virus to go. 2453 02:04:22,320 --> 02:04:24,400 Speaker 1: If it doesn't get into the bubble in the first place, 2454 02:04:24,560 --> 02:04:26,960 Speaker 1: it can't you know what I mean. But there's the 2455 02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:30,040 Speaker 1: virus dies, it doesn't go anywhere. So if they want 2456 02:04:30,040 --> 02:04:32,520 Speaker 1: to do that after the wildcard round and have four 2457 02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:35,560 Speaker 1: teams in each conference, bubble up in LA and Dallas, 2458 02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:38,560 Speaker 1: and then go to the super Bowl site in Tampa 2459 02:04:38,600 --> 02:04:40,680 Speaker 1: after all that's done, you could do that over the court. 2460 02:04:40,720 --> 02:04:43,600 Speaker 1: It's only two weeks and you're only talking about a 2461 02:04:43,640 --> 02:04:47,600 Speaker 1: total of eight teams, so you could do it with 2462 02:04:47,720 --> 02:04:49,440 Speaker 1: that amount. If you could do it, you could pull 2463 02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:52,920 Speaker 1: that off, I think, right right, yeah, And they're thinking 2464 02:04:52,960 --> 02:04:55,280 Speaker 1: about it obviously, Yeah, and I think it has to 2465 02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:57,680 Speaker 1: be a consideration and letter what's happened here with Tennessee, 2466 02:04:58,120 --> 02:04:59,840 Speaker 1: knowing there could be a second wave as the weather 2467 02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:05,640 Speaker 1: it is colder. Still, I'm still thinking though, if they yeah, exactly, 2468 02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:07,400 Speaker 1: I am still thinking the landscape is going to be 2469 02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:09,600 Speaker 1: different in See we've I mean, how different is the 2470 02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:14,320 Speaker 1: landscape every two weeks here? Right? So I'm thinking they'll 2471 02:05:14,360 --> 02:05:16,360 Speaker 1: see what the what the lay of the land is 2472 02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:19,160 Speaker 1: at that time, and then they'll make their decision. But 2473 02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:22,680 Speaker 1: they'll work towards three or four different options. Either bubbling 2474 02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:26,240 Speaker 1: up in your home city, bubbling up in two locations 2475 02:05:26,240 --> 02:05:29,760 Speaker 1: after the playoffs begin, or just keep on like going 2476 02:05:29,840 --> 02:05:33,400 Speaker 1: like they are right now. Or they may have everybody 2477 02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:35,200 Speaker 1: bubble up in their own cities and have the games 2478 02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:37,800 Speaker 1: at neutral sites. They're talking about neutral sits as well, 2479 02:05:37,880 --> 02:05:42,000 Speaker 1: so they haven't just made any decisions, but they're exploring 2480 02:05:42,160 --> 02:05:44,760 Speaker 1: all options, including the ones our callers keep giving us. 2481 02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:46,920 Speaker 1: Eight h three oh five fifty, we go to Doug 2482 02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:49,960 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, who's got a different name in mind in 2483 02:05:50,080 --> 02:05:51,840 Speaker 1: terms of stepping up tonight. Doug, what do you have 2484 02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:57,120 Speaker 1: for us? Hey? Guys? Up the show anyway? I need 2485 02:05:57,120 --> 02:05:59,040 Speaker 1: to see for me personally, I need to take Kyler 2486 02:05:59,080 --> 02:06:03,480 Speaker 1: baths getting out. But you know, either that or give 2487 02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:05,920 Speaker 1: it of a straight dead live because just take it 2488 02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:09,520 Speaker 1: all work. So you're concerned about Bass and his kicking, Okay, 2489 02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:11,520 Speaker 1: I didn't understand a single thing. He wants to see 2490 02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,120 Speaker 1: him get his head on straight. He's not happy with 2491 02:06:13,120 --> 02:06:17,440 Speaker 1: the way Tyler Tyler back. Oh all right, yeah, Tyler Bass, 2492 02:06:17,440 --> 02:06:21,760 Speaker 1: that's correct. Okay. So I mean he's he's a rookie, 2493 02:06:22,160 --> 02:06:25,280 Speaker 1: and I think you have to understand with rookies there 2494 02:06:25,280 --> 02:06:29,720 Speaker 1: are going to be some ups and downs. And how 2495 02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:33,920 Speaker 1: much are you willing to weather that storm? Um, are 2496 02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:36,120 Speaker 1: you gonna run the risk of it costing you a game? 2497 02:06:36,720 --> 02:06:41,120 Speaker 1: I suppose it could happen. There are a lot of 2498 02:06:41,120 --> 02:06:43,080 Speaker 1: tight games in this league. We know more than seventy 2499 02:06:43,080 --> 02:06:46,600 Speaker 1: five percent of them are decided by seven points or less. 2500 02:06:46,680 --> 02:06:51,320 Speaker 1: So you could invariably say, at some point along the 2501 02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:54,360 Speaker 1: line here over the course of sixteen games, the Bills 2502 02:06:54,440 --> 02:06:57,200 Speaker 1: might be in this in a spot where they are 2503 02:06:57,240 --> 02:07:00,960 Speaker 1: one hund counting on their kicker to win them a football. 2504 02:07:01,040 --> 02:07:03,120 Speaker 1: He's four of six so far this first His two 2505 02:07:03,160 --> 02:07:05,760 Speaker 1: misses were intween thirty and thirty nine. Yeah, and they 2506 02:07:05,760 --> 02:07:08,640 Speaker 1: were also in week one. Um, so he hasn't missed 2507 02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:10,400 Speaker 1: he missed an extra point, and he missed one extra 2508 02:07:10,440 --> 02:07:15,240 Speaker 1: point last week. So UM, I gotta tell you, I'm 2509 02:07:15,240 --> 02:07:18,000 Speaker 1: not I'm not worried. I'm not. I'm not worried. I 2510 02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:21,760 Speaker 1: get it. Um, these games are important and every kick 2511 02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:23,840 Speaker 1: is gonna be important. There's gonna be games when Tyler 2512 02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:26,000 Speaker 1: Bass has got to be money and he's got to 2513 02:07:26,080 --> 02:07:29,440 Speaker 1: make him and they'll be games. I gotta tell you you, 2514 02:07:30,040 --> 02:07:32,000 Speaker 1: there's gonna be games when he does miss it, When 2515 02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:34,400 Speaker 1: he does miss a kick that costs you a game. Uh, 2516 02:07:35,040 --> 02:07:37,280 Speaker 1: that's just the way. That's the life of an NFL kicker. 2517 02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:39,120 Speaker 1: It happens to all of them, every single last one 2518 02:07:39,160 --> 02:07:41,960 Speaker 1: of them. So uh, just be ready for that, UM 2519 02:07:42,080 --> 02:07:44,440 Speaker 1: in his rookie year. You'll you'll be lucky if he 2520 02:07:44,480 --> 02:07:48,280 Speaker 1: never gets put in that position, or if he if 2521 02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:50,240 Speaker 1: he always makes those kicks in his rooki year, because 2522 02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:53,400 Speaker 1: somewhere down the line, he'll miss one that's gonna cost 2523 02:07:53,400 --> 02:07:55,520 Speaker 1: You's the way that's the life of a kicker. But 2524 02:07:56,040 --> 02:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about him. That's I'm the I get it. 2525 02:08:01,040 --> 02:08:06,200 Speaker 1: I get to worry about it. But here's the thing that, Yeah, 2526 02:08:06,240 --> 02:08:11,760 Speaker 1: this team is too good right now to worry. I mean, 2527 02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:15,800 Speaker 1: you're you're grasping at you know, just loose ends when 2528 02:08:15,800 --> 02:08:19,480 Speaker 1: you're going after a rookie kicker, because everything else on 2529 02:08:19,520 --> 02:08:21,960 Speaker 1: this team seems to be hitting on all cylinders. You 2530 02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:23,680 Speaker 1: can say what you want about the defense, but they're 2531 02:08:23,840 --> 02:08:27,840 Speaker 1: one of fifteen defenses who are underperforming for where their 2532 02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:31,080 Speaker 1: expectations would have been statistically a year ago. It's just 2533 02:08:31,120 --> 02:08:33,120 Speaker 1: the way the league is. I think if you're talking 2534 02:08:33,120 --> 02:08:36,720 Speaker 1: about Tyler Bass, you're way down the list of where 2535 02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:38,600 Speaker 1: this team has been in the last twenty years of 2536 02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:41,960 Speaker 1: things to worry about. Yeah, eight three, five fifty we 2537 02:08:42,080 --> 02:08:44,640 Speaker 1: go to Nick and Niagara Falls. Nick, what do you have, Sarah? 2538 02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:46,960 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us here on one Bill's liive. Hey, 2539 02:08:46,960 --> 02:08:49,960 Speaker 1: thank you. How you guys doing good? Good? Hey? I 2540 02:08:50,040 --> 02:08:56,360 Speaker 1: just want to I know, Steve, you've been making this point. Tennessee. 2541 02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:59,000 Speaker 1: They haven't played in their practice in two weeks. They're 2542 02:08:59,040 --> 02:09:01,960 Speaker 1: missing some keep playing and a lot of Bills fans 2543 02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:04,040 Speaker 1: are kind of taking this game kind of lately. Almost 2544 02:09:04,040 --> 02:09:07,520 Speaker 1: says they give me, but you know, these are football players. 2545 02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:09,360 Speaker 1: They want to play and this is gonna be the 2546 02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:13,560 Speaker 1: first time you know, they're taking the field, and you know, 2547 02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm a little you know, I don't think it's a 2548 02:09:15,680 --> 02:09:17,760 Speaker 1: give me. I think the Bills are gonna have to 2549 02:09:17,800 --> 02:09:23,320 Speaker 1: play tough to come out on top. And I just 2550 02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, I want to see. I think McDermot has 2551 02:09:26,680 --> 02:09:30,440 Speaker 1: the Bills in the right mindset to do so to 2552 02:09:30,520 --> 02:09:34,160 Speaker 1: prepare them, you know, because they could very well could 2553 02:09:34,200 --> 02:09:36,360 Speaker 1: come out and punch the Bills in the mouth, and yeah, 2554 02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:40,000 Speaker 1: how they're going to respond. Yeah, I hear what you're saying, Nick, 2555 02:09:40,040 --> 02:09:41,520 Speaker 1: and I and I agree with you. You've got to 2556 02:09:41,520 --> 02:09:44,440 Speaker 1: come out and play well early in this game and 2557 02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:47,480 Speaker 1: whether the storm, because I think that's what what Tennessee's 2558 02:09:47,800 --> 02:09:51,520 Speaker 1: gonna have if you if everything works as everybody suspects 2559 02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:54,440 Speaker 1: it might be Tennessee's got a puncher's chance in this 2560 02:09:54,520 --> 02:09:57,680 Speaker 1: game of knocking out a really good team. You've got 2561 02:09:57,680 --> 02:10:00,240 Speaker 1: to come out and play very well with a lot 2562 02:10:00,240 --> 02:10:02,720 Speaker 1: of emotion. If you're Buffalo, you've got to withstand this 2563 02:10:02,880 --> 02:10:06,640 Speaker 1: early onslot that Tennessee's gonna give you and hope and 2564 02:10:06,720 --> 02:10:09,880 Speaker 1: you've got to hope that they wear down because there's 2565 02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:13,879 Speaker 1: no this is listen. If Tennessee comes here, no practice 2566 02:10:13,880 --> 02:10:18,400 Speaker 1: in two weeks, they come out and they play. This 2567 02:10:18,440 --> 02:10:20,760 Speaker 1: game still counts as though it was a playoff game. 2568 02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a win and go home. But 2569 02:10:22,520 --> 02:10:24,280 Speaker 1: if this is a game that counts, you got it. 2570 02:10:24,320 --> 02:10:27,880 Speaker 1: There's no game, it's a it's an in conference game 2571 02:10:27,920 --> 02:10:30,040 Speaker 1: against a good team that's unbeaten. You're in the first 2572 02:10:30,040 --> 02:10:32,200 Speaker 1: month of the season, starting the second quarter of the season. 2573 02:10:32,240 --> 02:10:35,440 Speaker 1: You gotta win these games. You've got to win this game. 2574 02:10:36,160 --> 02:10:40,600 Speaker 1: There's no excuse. How fast will Josh Allen drop out 2575 02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:42,840 Speaker 1: of the MVP race if they lose a game like 2576 02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:47,680 Speaker 1: this where Tennessee has had no practice, no preparation, all 2577 02:10:47,760 --> 02:10:51,000 Speaker 1: these players, they're no out of condition. You lose this game, 2578 02:10:51,320 --> 02:10:54,560 Speaker 1: you may you'll have people writing your entire season off. 2579 02:10:55,480 --> 02:10:56,680 Speaker 1: So if you think you can go out there and 2580 02:10:56,720 --> 02:11:01,320 Speaker 1: play without pressure, go ahead. But the consequences of losing 2581 02:11:01,360 --> 02:11:05,160 Speaker 1: this game, unfortunately for the Bills, are way bigger than 2582 02:11:05,200 --> 02:11:07,080 Speaker 1: any reward you're gonna get by beating a team you're 2583 02:11:07,080 --> 02:11:09,840 Speaker 1: supposed to beat. All Right, we have to take a break, 2584 02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:12,160 Speaker 1: but when we return, it'll be time for what we 2585 02:11:12,240 --> 02:11:15,000 Speaker 1: have learned from today's show, A lot of lessons all 2586 02:11:15,040 --> 02:11:18,800 Speaker 1: the way through this two plus hour program, We'll be 2587 02:11:18,840 --> 02:11:20,920 Speaker 1: back to tell you what that is. Here on One 2588 02:11:20,920 --> 02:11:23,720 Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo 2589 02:11:23,760 --> 02:11:42,800 Speaker 1: Bills Radio or What have We Learned? Brought to you 2590 02:11:42,880 --> 02:11:46,320 Speaker 1: by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of the 2591 02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:49,560 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Had our weekly visit from Good Morning Football's 2592 02:11:49,600 --> 02:11:53,480 Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt, who was talking up the Bills in a 2593 02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:57,560 Speaker 1: big way today. He believes the Bills are playing the 2594 02:11:57,680 --> 02:12:02,800 Speaker 1: best football in the NFL. It's a fun thing to 2595 02:12:02,840 --> 02:12:04,440 Speaker 1: say out loud. It's one of the weird things to 2596 02:12:04,520 --> 02:12:07,040 Speaker 1: say in twenty twenty. The worst team they could see 2597 02:12:07,120 --> 02:12:09,240 Speaker 1: right now is the Bills. We had a conversation this 2598 02:12:09,280 --> 02:12:12,680 Speaker 1: morning who's playing the best football in all of the NFL? 2599 02:12:13,120 --> 02:12:15,480 Speaker 1: And one guy in the show said the Seahawks, and 2600 02:12:15,600 --> 02:12:19,080 Speaker 1: one guy said the Packers. I said the Bills. I said, listen, 2601 02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:21,440 Speaker 1: the last time we saw this team, they were beating 2602 02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:24,440 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Have the Raiders done anything lately? I haven't seen. Yeah. 2603 02:12:24,480 --> 02:12:27,520 Speaker 1: The Raiders smacked around the Chiefs to supposedly unbeatable team. 2604 02:12:27,760 --> 02:12:30,680 Speaker 1: This team also beat the Ramps, only team to do it. 2605 02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:33,600 Speaker 1: So I love Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers as much 2606 02:12:33,640 --> 02:12:35,600 Speaker 1: as the next guy. But for my money, in the 2607 02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:37,880 Speaker 1: total resume, if you look at the Bills like an 2608 02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:41,280 Speaker 1: NC double A tournament team, there are pi and quality 2609 02:12:41,320 --> 02:12:44,560 Speaker 1: of wins is way way up. I don't see anybody 2610 02:12:44,560 --> 02:12:47,280 Speaker 1: with the better resume right now. And for the record, 2611 02:12:47,360 --> 02:12:50,440 Speaker 1: he picked the Bills tonight by a final of thirty 2612 02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:54,000 Speaker 1: to sixteen, and then before he signed off he amended 2613 02:12:54,000 --> 02:12:58,240 Speaker 1: it thirty thirteen. Yeah, he was changing it as we 2614 02:12:58,280 --> 02:13:00,880 Speaker 1: went down. They were getting worse the Titans, and we 2615 02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:03,280 Speaker 1: talked him out of it. I know you feel differently. 2616 02:13:03,400 --> 02:13:05,640 Speaker 1: You think the Titans are coming to play tonight. I 2617 02:13:05,720 --> 02:13:08,280 Speaker 1: just I think they'll come to play. I just don't 2618 02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:10,040 Speaker 1: think they're going to be able to sustain it through 2619 02:13:10,080 --> 02:13:12,200 Speaker 1: four quarters. Yeah, I think the Bills are. I think 2620 02:13:12,200 --> 02:13:14,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be a really good game, particularly early on. 2621 02:13:14,640 --> 02:13:16,440 Speaker 1: In fact that I think the Titans will look really 2622 02:13:16,480 --> 02:13:20,000 Speaker 1: good early on. But as this game goes on, Yeah, 2623 02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:21,480 Speaker 1: I expect the Bills to be able to put some 2624 02:13:21,480 --> 02:13:23,760 Speaker 1: distance between them and the Titans on the scoreboard. I 2625 02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:26,320 Speaker 1: think the complexity of the game plan that they're able 2626 02:13:26,320 --> 02:13:28,920 Speaker 1: to implement because they've practiced is going to be way different. 2627 02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Their menu of plays is going to be longer, their 2628 02:13:31,080 --> 02:13:33,160 Speaker 1: ability to adjust in game is going to better. They're 2629 02:13:33,160 --> 02:13:36,600 Speaker 1: gonna be They're gonna be sharp like a team should 2630 02:13:36,600 --> 02:13:39,040 Speaker 1: be who's been playing in a regular basis. And the Titans, 2631 02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:43,200 Speaker 1: I think they'll be good, but they're up against it tonight. 2632 02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:45,720 Speaker 1: I think they got a really good football team in Nashville. 2633 02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:49,160 Speaker 1: We've got pregame coming your way next here on your 2634 02:13:49,200 --> 02:13:51,480 Speaker 1: local stations, and then Steve and I will be on 2635 02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:54,640 Speaker 1: the Bills round Table as part of the pregame show 2636 02:13:54,840 --> 02:13:57,640 Speaker 1: starting at five, so we'll be back for that to 2637 02:13:57,640 --> 02:13:59,680 Speaker 1: be with you.
