Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,200

Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,960

Speaker 1: the program, one Thurman Thomas will be joining us. We'll

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: see if he can make heads or tails of what's

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: what's afoot in the Bills run game from his expert perspective.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: So we look forward to that conversation as well. But

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: we will be taking your phone calls and your tweets

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: here in the early stages of today's show as our

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Twitter conversation today, what type of game do you expect

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: to see Sunday when the Bills visit the Bucks, your

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: choices will be there on the tweet sheet. Steve, though,

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, as you know you are

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: a dog family. I am a dog family. We have

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: two dogs now, since April got another from the SPCA,

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: which incidentally, they're holding their radio thon. WGR is our

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: flagship station here in Buffalo. Their sisters station is doing

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: their annual radiothon for the SPCA, So if you get

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: a chance, get over there and donate. One of my

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: older dog does Pause for Love. That's when they go

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: into senior centers and stuff and you know the old

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Si Sisen's come over. They sit and

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, good stuff, hang with the dog, that kind

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: of thing. So my wife and my older dog does that.

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: My younger dog, however, is in need of some serious training.

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: She's from the streets of Cleveland. She was astray. That's

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: why you get the young dog with the old dog.

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Well that's that was our aim, right, But let's just

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: say she's not exactly you know, monkey see monkey do.

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: So we're we've got her in training and I was

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: in charge of doing that last night and she's doing well.

42
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: All things considered, I gotta tell you, Steve, you could

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: make a sitcom because you're it's a group training lesson.

44
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: So there's like eight other dogs there in the in

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: the big room they stick us in and I'm telling

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: you right now, it is a cast of characters between

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: the dog owners and the actual dogs. So, knowing you

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: are a French bulldog owner, there was a there's a

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: French bulldog in this group. I think it's like a

50
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: French bulldog with maybe a different kind of bulldog mix,

51
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: because it looks a little bigger than than Vern. It's

52
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: a bigger like but it looks like a French bulldog.

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, it's in the bulldog family. And

54
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: so a lot of this training involves treats for reinforcement.

55
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: You know, you got to motivate them. Yeah, so this

56
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: this this particular dog might be a little overweight, might

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: be getting a few too many treats in the tree. Right,

58
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: So we're about forty minutes into an hour long session.

59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: You know, these dogs are really you know, working mentally.

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: So I looked down at the end of the line

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: where the French bulldog gets. This dog's tapped out. I

62
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: don't know if it's I don't know if it's because

63
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: they're in a food coma from all the treats well,

64
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: or they're just slat out physically tired. Notoriously they have

65
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: no stamina. Oh okay, right, all right, they're an apartment dog,

66
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: so they don't need They don't run them up and

67
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: down the hallway once and they're good. Oh okay, all right.

68
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Well then this sheds new light on what I experienced

69
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: because I'm looking down at the end of the line

70
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: and we're doing the we're trying to teach them to

71
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: walk at your side, and you kind of reinforce him

72
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: by putting treats right by you know where your pants

73
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: pocket is. Hey, it's beneficial if you walk here, not

74
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: dragging me out in front, you know that kind of thing.

75
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: So we're walking him up, turning, coming back. So we're

76
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: going up and down, up and down. This dog's done.

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: So the poor woman that's trying to teach this dog

78
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: has either fed him way too many treats or he

79
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: just has zero stamina. As you suggested, I am not

80
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: lying to you. Back legs straight out behind him on

81
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: the ground. Done. Yeah, And she's like she gets stop, Well,

82
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: what the heck is going on back there. So she's

83
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: trying to coax the dog to get up. She's trying

84
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: to you know, hey, I got another treat here, you know,

85
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: here's a free piece of cheese, you know whatever. Nothing

86
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: like she she literally had to drag him back to

87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: their stuff. I'm telling you, watching a bulld dog with

88
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: its legs straight out behind. I mean it was like

89
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: she was. She might as well have been dragging an anchor. Yeah,

90
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: that's it was. Oh. I was like covering my face, giant,

91
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: that's a laugh. Oh, I've been there. We had we

92
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: had to take our because we had the five little

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: kids when they were growing up. We had a two

94
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: hundred pounds old English massiff at the time, different right.

95
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: We took him because you didn't want your two year old,

96
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: four year old, six year old whatever to not to

97
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: be able to handle him, right, So we take him

98
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: and all the kids kept imagine that. So I got

99
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: like four kids and the wife, all of us are

100
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: at this dog class with the with Big Mo. Yeah

101
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: you find out real fast it's not Big Mo that's

102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: getting trained right exactly. But he is like the dogs.

103
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: He was a he was his engine was at idol constantly.

104
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he never got excited. He was like if

105
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: you sit down, you if you told him to sit,

106
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: you had to say down all the way because he

107
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: was on going down no matter what. So if he

108
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: sat down, he was gonna lay down. Right. Conversely, you know,

109
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: you get all the breeds in there. The guy next

110

00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: over here, you go to the other end of this

119
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,359

00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: The guy has checked out. The handle of the guy

123
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,760

00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I'll have to convert. Those classes are absolutely great if

133
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: you if you can never stick it out and do it,

134
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: it's awesome. No, they all recommend it, and they've helped

135
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: a lot. I recommend those classes are great. I am

136
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: telling you though. It is a Hollywood made for six.

137
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: It is Hollywood made for six idea, material idea. It

138
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: should be a reality show. You should have people go

139
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: to a dog class with their handlers and have it

140
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: listens today session session twenty three. It is an absolute

141
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: there There is no way a reality show cannot be

142
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: any less entertaining than what I have witnessed. The lays

143
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: so great. It's a great idea. You know what, that's

144
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: a great concept for all the stuff that's on TV.

145
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: That would be Oh my god, I am so good.

146
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm all about it. So about it. Um so I'll

147
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: keep you updated, as does my dog got most improved,

148
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: which basically means it was the worst one we showed up. Yeah,

149
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: she's doing well. I got a picture, Yeah, I gotta picture.

150
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,920

151
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: my dog. You know, she's got a lot of street cred.

152
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: She was a stray yeah yeah, yeah, so she's an opportunist,

153
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: so you got to kind of keep an eye on her. Yeah,

154
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: because you know that's how she lived, right. But now

155
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: it's just you know, so we'll see how it goes.

156
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: We're so far so good that we hope for a

157
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: better going forward. But yeah, it's sorry to get off

158
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: on a tangent there, but I had to know when

159
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: you're a dog guy. Yeah, dogs share that. We got

160
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: time for a crossover for us. Oh really, yeah, I've

161
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: earned six How long did the French bulldogs on? They

162
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: go a decade? At least twelve? Okay, yeah, yeah, So

163
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: he's about halfway through, which is you know, yeah, right,

164
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: so we're thinking, I'm partial. I'm partial to the MutS,

165
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Well, I'll say this, and

166
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: they live longer intellectually for the most part. Usually MutS

167
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: are better. MutS are better. Yeah. Yeah, So cool. All right.

168
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: I'll keep you updating on that as we get through it,

169
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: because I'm sure there's going to be more stories. Based

170
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: on what I've with three times, you've got three more

171
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: to go. But as we said Twitter conversation, what type

172
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: of game do you expect to see Sunday when the

173
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Bills visit the Bucks? Choices are there on the tweet

174
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: sheet A a track meet, be a slugfest, see lopsided

175
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: d something else. Let us know what your thoughts are

176
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: going into this one. Some news and notes to bring

177
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: to you concerning the roster, we saw that Bobby Hart

178
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: is back on the practice squad. He was released from

179
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: the roster when Tommy Doyle was exiting the COVID reserve

180
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: list and put back on the fifty three man roster.

181
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: But he is back with the team, just serving on

182
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: the practice squad. Now. John Feliciano, who has missed the

183
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: last four games, remains on injured reserve. He is practicing

184
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: today and basically where coach left it was he said,

185
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: we'll see how he gets through the week, make a determination,

186
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: probably at the end of the week. So it sounds

187
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: like he's close. If they're gonna, you know, try to

188
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: render a decision as to whether or not to take

189
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: him off. I r at the end of the week.

190
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: That would seem to indicate he's close to a return,

191
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they'd like to get him back in

192
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: the lineup and add a little bit more attitude to

193
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Fa Obada Reggie Gilliam, two players who

194
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: were inactive last week with hip and ankle injuries, limited

195
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: in practice today, so we'll see how close they are

196
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: to being full go and at least available for game

197
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: action come the weekend. And then tight end Tommy Sweeney

198
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: and Star Latulae not practicing today. Star, after missing time

199
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: being on the COVID reserve list, returned to the lineup

200
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: last week, but now has a toe injury, So we'll

201
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: see if that lingers into the latter stages of the

202
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: week and compromises his availability for Sunday. That would not

203
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: be good. Knowing they are facing a load of a

204
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: running back in Leonard Fournette and not for nothing, Steve

205
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: a very big, girthy offensive line. Yeah, their offensive line

206
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: in Tampa is top notch. Yeah, their offenses is humming

207
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: along too. This is going to be a game where

208
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: I think, you know, fourteen points, ten points, even twenty

209
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: points is not going to get it done against these guys.

210
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: And then taking things a step further, Tommy Sweeney is

211
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: not practicing with the hip injury. As we know, they

212
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: only have two tight ends on the roster, and Reggie

213
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: Gilliam is like a sub in third and he's injured,

214
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: so they may have to call somebody up from the

215
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: practice squad this week if Sweeney is down and Gilliam

216
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: isn't ready to return to the lineup either. I mean,

217
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: you're not going to go into a game with one

218
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: tight end. You're not doing that. So you have Kahale

219
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: Warring and Quintin Morris, the undrafted rookie free agent on

220
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: the practice squad who could be called into action if

221
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: they are suddenly shorthanded and down to one tight end option,

222
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: that being obviously Dawson Knox. So those are the news

223
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: and notes with regard to player availability, practice participation, etc. Etc.

224
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: We will get you some of coach mcdermot's comments shortly.

225
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: We'll get some of those to you when we get

226
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity, but we want to go to the phones

227
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: right now at eight o three oh five fifty open

228
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: line for you there and we lead off with Tom

229
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: and Buffalo today. Tom, what do you have for us?

230
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live, Good Afternoon, Chris and Steve.

231
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad your dogs taught you. Well, yeah, you're the

232
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: ones being trained the process. Yeah, it is a process

233
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: for sure. Well, I grew up with cats, my whole wife.

234
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: They're not much easier, believe me. Right anyway, Yeah, he

235
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: asked about the game. I think it's gonna be a

236
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: slug fuss. But here's what's gonna happen. We're gonna get

237
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: a heavy dose of fornat. They're gonna run, run, run,

238
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: because they know they can, and the Bills have to

239
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: prove they get stop it. They still are gonna sprinkle

240
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: in their wide receivers because they got a good group

241
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, we could loose by twenty points or more.

242
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: And that's my fear because this team has not stepped up.

243
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: But really, the only time they stepped up was against KC. Yeah,

244
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: and it's interesting that you mentioned that game, Tom, because

245
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: I think since then they have been very up and down.

246
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean since that victory over Kansas City. I believe

247
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: that started the alternating wins and losses for the next

248
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: seven weeks after that win over Kansas City, they went

249
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: loss win loss, win, loss, win loss. I think that's it.

250
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: It's exacerbated itself because I think the next the next

251
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: game against Tennessee, the Bills played pretty well in a loss.

252
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: It was thirty three thirty one or thirty four thirty one.

253
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: They lost that game, but that was not a game

254
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: where they didn't show up. That was a hard fought

255
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: game where both sides of the ball played well, and

256
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: they got beat by a very good football team and

257
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: played well in the loss. So I even though it

258
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: was a loss, you know, you got to think two

259
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: Josh quarterback sneak and losing his footing. You know, you'd

260
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: like to have that play back, no question. But that's

261
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: a game where it could have gone either way. That's

262
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: a game where, yeah, you can take a loss, but

263
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: you didn't play badly on either side of the football.

264
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: Given up thirty four points, I get it, yeah, But

265
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean the Bills went up thirty one twenty seven

266
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: right late in that game. Field goal what was it

267
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: a field goal drive? I can't remember if it's a

268
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: field goal or a touchdown drive. Remember either way, they

269
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: took the lead thirty one twenty seven. So now defense

270
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: needs to get a stop, protect the lead, and they

271
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: give up a touchdown drive and it goes thirty thirty

272
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: four twenty seven. Right at that point you still think, yeah,

273
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: that's thirty four thirty one. Sorry, I guess A good

274
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: team at that time was were Henry was one loss,

275
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: Henry in the game, Henry was still playing, that's right. So, um,

276
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: all of that after that ten after the Kansas City,

277
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee game, they were playing well, but then they started

278
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: to get inconsistent and I don't know what happened. They

279
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: started to go up and down to ride this roller

280
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: coaster of win loss, win loss, and uh yeah they

281
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: had be able to get out of it, and even

282
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: their school, you know, and it goes to I mean,

283
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: there's it's hallmarked by the offensive points that they scored.

284
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: What do you think about what do you think about

285
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: the argument? I don't know if it's an argument, the theory,

286
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: or maybe the thought that the Chiefs game was looked

287
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: at as their, for lack of a better term, ultimate

288
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: game on the schedule, and then once they beat that team,

289
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: they said, we've we've slayed the dragon. Let's just roll

290
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: from here, right, you know, what I mean, like the psyche.

291
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Do you think there's something to that perhaps, Yeah, absolutely

292
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: I do. And I also think too that you can

293
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: feel that way as a as a team, and you

294
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: could and they could have been right, except that then

295
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: they got Then they lose their offensive linemen to injury,

296
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: they lose their offensive linemen to COVID, they lose defensive linemen.

297
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: They've got guys in and out of the lineup. They

298
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: got at you know, they start turning it over a

299
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: little bit, they start dropping games here and there, knowing

300
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: that there's still a really good football team, and they're

301
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: just it's as though they started marking time till the

302
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: playoffs plus two. They still had it all through all this.

303
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: They were still right at the top of the division

304
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: up until this last Monday night. Now we'll see, and

305
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: I think this is a gut check for him a

306
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: little bit and say, listen, can you turn it on

307
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: like you thought you could. Are you gonna be able

308
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: to say, okay, now now that this is a game

309
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: that means something that we really kind of need, we're

310
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna have it. That's a big question that's going to

311
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: be answered this week against Tampa Bay. Let's go back

312
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: to the phones and we joined Bob and on the end, Bob,

313
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one. Bill's Live. Hi,

314
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: Chris and Steve. Good to get in touch with you guys. Thanks.

315
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: And I've been a bill Stand since nineteen sixty seven.

316
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,119
Speaker 1: First year, the Kansas City beat Buffalo for the championship

317
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: and they lost to the Green Bay Backers Super Bowl,

318
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl my team. I watched all the teams

319
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: all the way through. I love football. I love our

320
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, our bet and Bill Stand. I will be

321
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: a bill Stan this year. I see a whole lot

322
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: of beat thing's going on out there. For one, we

323
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: can't tackle. It's the worst tacking when team I've ever seen,

324
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. They got the best talented. Don't get me wrong,

325
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: we are loaded with talent. My other thing is they

326
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: all got happy feet, and I can't tell if that's

327
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: coaching or not. On the good games, everybody's in the

328
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: right position and not looking for a position. And the

329
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: bad games are defensive linebackers and safeties are moving around.

330
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's moving, nobody knows where they're at. It's kind of

331
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: hard to tackle somebody when you're on the mud. Running

332
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: the same way with Josh a quarterback. If he's a

333
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: calm and collective he makes the fast as good. If

334
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: he's got happy pet and he's running away, running away

335
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: all over the place, he's not doing nothing. I think

336
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: we are looking to this coach. I think the coaches

337
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: are overplaying their hand. We got a talented team, I mean,

338
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: very talented team, probably one of the best many many years.

339
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: I think we ought to start using them that the

340
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: way they should be throwing the damn ball down the

341
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: field and let's go from there. But you got to

342
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: get these people in position to start with. Yeah, okay,

343
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: so when you're talking about feet, you're saying they're taking

344
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: false steps, they're out of position. Is that what you're saying,

345
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: because they're not reading the playwright? On defense? Look at

346
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: these games, they're all out of position. Yeah. I think

347
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: linebacker corps in the safety this last game where they

348
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: were they were never said to make a play. All right, um,

349
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. I've appreciate it. I mean, I

350
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: think the part of the game plan by the Patriots

351
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: offense was to I mean, and this is the bread

352
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: and butter play of the Patriots offense. They have that

353
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: toss sweep where they have that g lead play and

354
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: they get their big backs out on the edge and

355
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: they get north and south as fast as possible. And

356
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: against a front like the Bills, which doesn't have a

357
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: lot of behemoths, you would like to think that they

358
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: have the mobility to get out there, take on shed

359
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: and make a play. They had trouble doing that. I

360
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: don't think it was because they didn't know how to

361
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: read the play. I think they very much knew what

362
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: was coming. They just got flat out beating one on

363
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: ones too often. There were tackling problems. Even Leslie Fraser

364
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: said poor tackling in the Colts game was the main

365
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: reason for Jonathan Taylor having a banner day. He did

366
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: not say that this week with regard to the Patriots,

367
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: but it did crop up. There were miss tackles in

368
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: the game on Monday night. There's no question. Yeah. And

369
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: I think you get down to the core of what

370
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: Bob Fromuleian just said. The good games they're calm Josh's

371
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: calm cooon collected and everybody's you know, nobody has happy

372
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: for you. And the bad games they do they do.

373
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: The core of it is there's good games and there's

374
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: bad games. That's what you want to get to the

375
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: heart of. Yeah, bad games all look the same and

376
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: the good games all look different. What's causing the difference

377
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: is what we're trying to get at. I mean, I

378
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: know what a bad football team looks like. I know

379
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: what it looks like when teams play bad and where

380
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: they're struggling. How do you keep him from doing that

381
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: when you've got the talent that the Bills do. That's

382
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: what the problem is. Where's where's the where's the change

383
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: that happens between the good games that they play? Where

384
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, they score twenty six against the Golfings, forty

385
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: five against the Jets, thirty one against New Orleans, and

386
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: they score six against Jacksonville, fifteen against Indianapolis and ten

387
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: against New England. You know, give me the difference between

388
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't I know what it looks like. Tell me

389
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: why why are they playing like that? And you can

390
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: lay that at the field and I'm sure the coach

391
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: will take an enormous amount of responsibility saying we gotta

392
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: get them ready and all that. But from my experience,

393
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: this is this is in the locker room. I mean,

394
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta beat. This has happened in the

395
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: locker room. Coaches are these guys are the Bills coach

396
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: And I know they've taken some criticism for the way

397
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: the game played out in forty mile hour wins against

398
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: New England on a Monday night. And I get all

399
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: of that that the coordinators and Sean himself have taken

400
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: some criticism or get yeah, finger pointed at them. Listen,

401
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: those guys are wired. They know what's going on. This

402
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: is a This is a locker room isssue when they

403
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: you have a team that's going up and down like this,

404
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: This is a lot. It's a locker room issue. It's

405
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: not a coaching issue. And I think the players realize

406
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: it as well. And it may be that they're missing

407
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: one or two one or two pieces to make them

408
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: a truly dominant team on both sides of the ball.

409
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: But I got news for you, you know, welcome to the

410
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. Everybody wishes they had a piece or two

411
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: different you know, most teams do. And whether they do

412
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: or and if they don't, it's they they'll lose one

413
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: of those pieces anyway during the season, like the Tennessee Titans,

414
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, all like the Baltimore Ravens, and you go

415
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: down the list every you can look at all these

416
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: teams and they wow, we lost a couple of really

417
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: key guys. So the difference is how do you get

418
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: them to play like they did this week and not

419
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: that week? Yeah, and that I get it. I mean,

420
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, Bob calls out, I see all this stuff

421
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: going on in these bad games, but on these good games,

422
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: are doing that? Yeah? Yeah, that's the whole crux of

423
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: the issue. And believe me, the coaching staffs try a

424
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: bottle whatever it was in those good games and spill

425
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: it out on the field every week and only bottle it,

426
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: but at least understand it. Because you come out in

427
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: a game like you did against New Orleans and a

428
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: game like you did against the Jets and the and

429
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You're thumping those teams. Okay, what's the deal

430
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars and the Colts and the Patriots? What

431
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: are you doing? Yeah, that's what you're trying to find out.

432
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's the whole that's what the

433
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: whole thing's about. You got you're just trying to find

434
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: a way that you can play really well and then

435
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: play really well again the next week, let's go back

436
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: to the phones, and coming up next year is Kevin

437
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: and Hamburger. Kevin, what do you have for us? Um?

438
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm watching the NFL Matchup show last night with that

439
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: Laura Rowland's a pretty blind growing recruit, and they were

440
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: talking about matchups in this game and a thing that

441
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: has me worried. I'm sure Bill sand will be worried.

442
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: They have Cody Ford going against Vita Beya. Well, I

443
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: don't know a lot about the Bucks, but what I

444
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: see to be putting Cody Ford against him would be

445
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: no better than putting him up against someone like one

446
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: of those Bears to play under Mike Ditka. Well, it shouldn't.

447
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be Cody Ford, Kevin. In all likelihood it

448
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: will be Darryl Williams at right guard with Spencer Brown

449
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Back at right tackle. So I would anticipate it's Darryl Williams,

450
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: who certainly brings a little bit more girth in there. Well,

451
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: Cody Ford's a pretty big guy himself, now that I

452
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: think about it, But yeah, it looks like it'll be

453
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams at right guard, you know, barring some unforeseen circumstance.

454
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Kevin, you are very right

455
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: about vita Vea, who has now added some pass rushing

456
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: skills to his arsenal. He's not just a run plugger

457
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: to tie up two offensive linemen. This guy is literally

458
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: throwing people on the ground. So the way we see

459
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald sometimes perform, where he just flat out flattens

460
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: people tosses him out of the way like a loaf

461
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: of bread, Vitavea is on that. Go watch some tape

462
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: of vita Va the last four weeks. Now he's dealing

463
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a sore knee, so we'll

464
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: have to see how he gets through the week in

465
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,959
Speaker 1: terms of the injury report. But that guy's a handful

466
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: and a half. It's a good You're right, Kevin, no

467
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: question about it. It's a matchup that's going to be

468
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: crucial because looking at it from the side of the

469
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they are really depending on their defensive

470
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: line to play well weekend week out. They need them.

471
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: They need them to stop the run with light boxes

472
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: and they needed and they need him to rush the

473
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: passer with just four because they are really stretched extremely

474
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: thin in their secondary So from the Bills standpoint, if

475
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: you can't stack up against one on one, five on

476
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: four off five offensive lineman on four pass rushers, it's

477
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: gonna be a long day for the Buffalo Bills, and

478
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: vice versa for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because that is

479
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: the crux of where their defensive strength lies right now,

480
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: because their secondary is so depleted. If Josh Allen has

481
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: con assistant time to throw, the Bucks are going to

482
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: be playing ketchup on the scoreboard and their offense will

483
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: have pressure put on it. Now. Certainly, their offense probably

484
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: up to it. I mean, they've got some guys, But

485
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: that's where the crux of the problems are for the

486
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: Tampa bab Buccaneers. It's their front four has to carry

487
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: the day for their defense. Yeah, and Todd Bowle's scheme

488
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Bucks, it's rooted in man to

489
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: man coverage because he is reliant on that front four

490
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: getting pass pressure. It's been a little bit of a

491
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: mixed bag with their pass pressure this year, although last

492
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: or this year, I should say, although last week they

493
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: did get five sacks against Atlanta, so they're capable of

494
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: flipping that switch and causing major problems for opposing quarterbacks. Obviously,

495
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: Josh is far more mobile than Matt Ryan, who's pretty

496
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: much a pocket quarterback. But still, in all it's I'm

497
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: very interested to see Steve if they stick to those

498
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: man principles defensively as a main course of action, or

499
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: because of their jury situation and being shorthanded back there,

500
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: if they do mix in a little more zone concepts

501
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: to try to protect the guys they've got out on

502
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: the field who are obviously of lesser caliber than their starters.

503
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: Now they got Carlton Davis back, he's healthy. Jamel Dean,

504
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: who was starting in place of one of the other

505
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: starters at corner, he had a concussion. They're hoping he

506
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: comes out of the protocol by the end of the week.

507
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: Safety is where they're really shorthanded right now. Their corners

508
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: are finally getting healthy again. Now it's their safeties. Mike Edwards,

509
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: one of their top safeties, got suspended with Antonio Brown

510
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: for the whole vaccination mess, so he's suspended, not available,

511
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: and then they lost Jordan Whitehead as well, who's on

512
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: IR So they're down a couple of safeties here and

513
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: they've got backups in there for all intents and purposes.

514
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see if they stick to man

515
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: to man, as you know, their main identity. I'm wondering

516
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: if they do that. Yeah, that's but yeah, that's that's

517
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: a good call by Kevin, except that, Yeah, I don't

518
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: know what the NFL matchup. Guys. Talking about Cody Ford, Well,

519
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: he said he was watching Vita vea wreck people. Right,

520
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: That's why he's worried about the matchup for the bill, right, right, right, Okay,

521
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: it sounded like the show was telling him that Cody

522
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: Ford was gonna be No. I think he assumed Cody

523
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: Ford will be going against him, and he exited the

524
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: lineup last week because, you know, Darryl Williams and Spencer

525
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 1: Brown were back on the right side together finally, so

526
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: and he was concerned. Yeah, So it'll be interesting to

527
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: see what happens with Feliciano this week as well, whether

528
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: he gets activated. Now, let's go to the Curtis in

529
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: Rochester next. What do you have for us, Curtis, Good afternoon, guys.

530
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: I will be interested in your analysis about this team.

531
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: Is this the blueprint? The beat buffalo is the physically

532
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: run the ball down our throats? But on the flip side,

533
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: I thought we had to still have a chance to

534
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: win that game on the last drive. It's going to

535
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: be a different game with Tampa Bay. Remember the styles

536
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: make fights. We gotta shot against Tampa Bay. But we

537
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: just can't continue to say the season is over because

538
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: we lost the game. I predicted for the season, we

539
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: was going to be twelve and five, thirteen and four.

540
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: We on schedule. We all need to just panic. I

541
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: think it's a different situation with Brian Dable. He has

542
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: to decide what kind of team on the options of

543
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: being what we want to be. So now Leslie praised,

544
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. I was just gonna ask you, Curtis,

545
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: you think we're on They're on schedule to be twelve

546
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: and five, thirteen and four. That means we're gonna have

547
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: to win their last five in a row. What's your

548
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: level of confidence they can pull that off. I did

549
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: not expect us to lose at Jacksonville, and I thought

550
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: we would beat Pittsburgh the first game of the season. Yeah,

551
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: but we still have a chance to beat New England.

552
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 1: On the last drive, right and yp that tight end

553
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: catches that ball. We won that game. Even though they

554
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: ran the ball down on our drow. We only lost

555
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: four team at ten. Yep. I don't think this season

556
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: is over. Yeah, I don't. I don't think either. And

557
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Curtis. I agree. I mean it was.

558
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: It was certainly a heartbreaking loss, but not a season

559
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: ending loss. And it does put you in a position

560
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: where you know you're gonna start to have just to

561
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: you feel like you got to keep up with the field.

562
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: Now in the AFC, you're gonna have to win nine

563
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: ten games in over the next two or three weeks

564
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: to make sure you're in it. Yeah, And I think

565
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: the thing that that rankles Bills fans is the fact

566
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: that you were ahead of the field. You were given

567
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: a very favorable front end of the schedule against some

568
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: also ran type teams. For the most part, you took

569
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: care of business, you got ahead of everybody. You were

570
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: ahead of the field, and now because of inconsistent play,

571
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: you've fallen back and now you're part of the field

572
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: right and now it's a real race and your margin

573
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: forever is very thin. What do you think about his

574
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: comment about being the blueprint to beat Buffalo. I think, listen,

575
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: it's yeah, I don't know how people aren't going to

576
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: try that. I mean, now, certainly Indianapolis, the Patriots have

577
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: got an impressive running game, and we knew that. You

578
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: knew that going in. Um do the Bucks feel like

579
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: they want to go down that road because they think

580
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: they can match what the Patriots did against Buffalo? Maybe

581
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: they do. Certainly they're they're gonna see if the Bills

582
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: have shored some things up. I mean they're twenty fifth

583
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: and rushing even with Leonard Fournette. Now that's also a

584
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: byproduct of them saying, we don't really need to run.

585
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: We got Tom Brady right exactly, and and wall to

586
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: wall weapons for him to choose from. So running if

587
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: we have to do it, we'll do it, you know,

588
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: but we don't really have to do it. We got

589
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: the best quarterback on the planet. They may Tampa Bay

590
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: may say, you know, that's not who we are. We're

591
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: gonna beat him with who we are. Us teams do that. Um,

592
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Nice to have Leonard Fournette to turn

593
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: tote is. I knew this when he came in, man,

594
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: I saw him out of LSU. He was with Jacksonville

595
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: first year. That when the Bills faced him in the playoffs.

596
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: Dude was a beast. He was an absolute animal out there,

597
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: and I knew he was gonna have a really nice career.

598
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: I was shocked, shocked when he left Jacksonville and had

599
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: to go find work elsewhere. I I that is a

600
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is in the shape they're in for exactly reasons

601
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: like that. Well, yeah, and Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Fournett, those

602
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: are three superstar players that are Yeah, it's unbelieving break

00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: joining us once again. I have to tell you with

611
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: this lineup went a little bit deeper down the depth

612
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: chart with some of these choices, So let's jump right

613
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: into it with the quarterback position here. Yeah, and thanks

614
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: for having me on, guys. Always good to talk to you,

615
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's some sort of raise your eyebrow depth

616
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 1: chart pieces here, But we'll start at quarterback with Taysom

617
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: Hill's priced seventy seven hundred dollars. If you look at

618
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: the board this week, it's not that he's at the

619
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: bottom of the board from our quarterback, which is typically

620
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: where I try to find some value, but it's the

621
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: matchup and the fact that right now the Saints are

622
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: so limited in terms of offensive pieces around him. They

623
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: play the Jets on Sunday. Saints have lost five straight games.

624
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: But as I tell you guys, at least I tell

625
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: people often, fantasy production at quarterback is not the same

626
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: or anywhere close to the same as real life production

627
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: at quarterback. By every measure, Taysom Hill was bad last

628
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: Thursday night when we saw him play in that game

629
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: against the Bills, right, I mean that was just a

630
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: team against the Cowboys. All we gaff he played against

631
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: the Bills, played the Saints. But against the Cowboys he

632
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: had four interceptions. He could put in nineteen or forty

633
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: one passes, and yet he had nearly twenty one Fantasy

634
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: points because he had over one hundred rushing yards. He

635
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: threw for over two hundred and sixty passing yards and

636
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: with no mark ingram on Sunday, you figure album Camaro

637
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: will be very busy. But Taysom Hill could steal a

638
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown as well. I love him in Daily Fantasy

639
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, I get I get that, and because

640
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: you never know how it's going to turn out. Plus

641
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: the matchup is always crucial when you're going against the

642
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: Jets and in New York. He can scoot. Man, Yeah,

643
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: he can play. He's he's an athletic dude. I will

644
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: say that for him. The guy can really go and

645
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: he's a good football player. Although he may there may

646
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: be better quarterbacks out there, he's still a lot of

647
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: fun to watch the running back position. One of these guys,

648
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: I get the other one I had. I could not

649
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: have told you who he played for. I know this

650
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: is a good one, right and rare shot. Penny was

651
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: at one point a first round pick for the Seattle Seahawks.

652
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: It's been a very well, I would say, an unmemorable

653
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: start to his career. They play Houston on Sunday, and

654
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: in Daily Fantasy, the way that you win is not

655
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: doing the most obvious thing all the time. You've got

656
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: a zig when others are zagging, and this is an

657
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: example of zigging when others are zagging. Last week, the

658
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: Seahawks had eleven carries for Adrian Peterson that resulted in

659
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: a total of sixteen yards. The best running back to

660
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 1: the eye test was clearly Rashod Penny. And they need

661
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: to get things going right now. They have a very

662
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: very very slim chance of making the playoffs, but still

663
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: a chance, and you like the odds on Sunday of

664
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: them winning against a Texans team that obviously is short

665
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: on talent and right now might be facing the possibility

666
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: of playing with Davis Mills at quarterback, which could set

667
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: Seattle up with some short fields. So one of my

668
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: two running backs as were shot Penny very reasonably priced

669
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: and the other one is surprise at all, that's album Kamara.

670
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: He's one of the highest price players on the board,

671
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: and normally at running back I try to avoid the

672
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: highest price player on the board, but he's an exception

673
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: for a few reasons. One, I just mentioned that mark

674
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: Ingram will be unavailable on Sunday, most likely due to

675
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: a COVID nineteen positive test. Beyond that, they play the Jets,

676
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: who were frisky early in the year. Defensively, they have

677
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: not been nearly as good recently. And then the third

678
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: thing is that in order to return on investment, which

679
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: in daily Fantasy we're looking for three times the price,

680
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: so a nine thousand dollars player is a twenty seven

681
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: fantasy point effort, you need to have pass catching ability.

682
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: And not only does Alvin Kamara have pass catching ability,

683
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: he's the only pass catcher right now that I trust

684
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. I mean, the wide receivers are a

685
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a bunch of guys that people have

686
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: hardly heard of. So I wouldn't be surprised if Kaysom

687
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: Hill and Alvin Kamara have our account for seventy percent

688
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: of the Saints offense on Sunday against it where we

689
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: take off of the running backs every shot, Penny's projected

690
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: to get two point two points. But you're thinking, that's

691
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: that's why he's a yeah, but exactly that's why you're

692
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: doing it. You're it looks like an opportunity for him.

693
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: He's gonna get way more opportunities than that before. All Right, now,

694
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 1: let's go to the three wide receivers that you've picked here. Yeah,

695
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,479
Speaker 1: and two names everybody knows, but the one you don't

696
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: most likely is Jaalen Guiton for the Los Angeles Chargers.

697
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: His priced at fifty two hundred dollars. His projection is

698
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: very low. Excuse me, his average is very low because

699
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't play that much. But as of this conversation,

700
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers are going to be without Keenan Allen and

701
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: Mike Williams potentially on Sunday. Both of them are on

702
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen list, Allen with a positive test, Williams

703
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: because he was a high risk close contact. So the

704
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: window is open to both or one of them playing

705
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but and at which point you would pivot.

706
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: But if either or both do not play, then jail

707
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: and Giton could be a very busy man. He had

708
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: his best game of his career this past Sunday, four

709
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: nine yards and a touchdown. Much of that came on

710
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: like a fifty yard bomb in which he just sort

711
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: of played. He got just boxed out the defender. It

712
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: was I don't know if it was third down, but

713
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: it almost felt like an arm punt attempt from Justin Herbert,

714
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: like worst case scenarios, gets picked off and it's a touchback.

715
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: But we're punting on the next play. Anyways, best case

716
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: scenario is it's a touchdown and that's what happened. Jale

717
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: and Giton No I think has a chance to play

718
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: a bunch on Sunday. If either of those star receivers

719
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: is unavailable, well then let's go to the players that

720
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: you do know. And the first one's Deontay Johnson, who

721
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: plays tonight for the Pittsburgh Steelers, priced at seven thousand,

722
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars. The second one is Cooper Cup was

723
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: priced as usual at the top of the wide receiver

724
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: board at nine thousand dollars. And in daily Fantasy, there

725
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: are typically two formats that you hear of, either a

726
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: cash game or a tournament. A cash game is when

727
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the entrance in the tournament or in

728
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: the game win and make money. The top fifty percent

729
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: and the bottom fifty percent do not. They are losers, right.

730
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: If you're playing in a cash game, you're looking for

731
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of a safer play, and Cooper Cup

732
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: and Deonte Johnson are basically as safe as it gets

733
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver wise this year. I don't need to describe

734
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: to you guys how great Cooper Cup has been but

735
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson's played in eleven games this year. He has

736
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: at least eleven Fantasy points in every game that he's

737
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: played this season, and you go look at his target share,

738
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: it's reminiscent of sort of like Stefon Diggs last year.

739
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: Games routinely with ten or twelve or thirteen targets in

740
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 1: a matchup tonight that I don't think should be scary

741
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: for those that want to play him in daily fantasy. Yeah,

742
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: and I mean, you want to talk about the receiver

743
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh who's benefited the most from Ben Roethlisberger's arm

744
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: strength waning late in his career, it's probably Johnson. And

745
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: the biggest victim is probably Claypool, who's not getting the

746
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: ball thrown down the field to him anymore. All Right,

747
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: tight end and flex again, a very recognizable name and

748
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: a guy a little further down the depth chart. Yeah,

749
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: that's right. The recognizable name is Travis Kelsey, who, of

750
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: course for the Chiefs don't need to describe all of

751
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: his accolades, but it's really hard to find consistency at

752
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: tight end. He's been the best bet at tight end

753
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: for about five years running right now, it's been a

754
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: bit of a quiet stretch. However, these two teams played

755
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and I know this is part

756
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: of the rhetoric that's discussed around the Buffalo offense, but

757
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: we know that recently teams, and Buffalo was the first

758
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: team to do this, have basically said, when we're playing

759
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, we're gonna drop two safeties deep into

760
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: coverage and keep everything in front of us. Right. Well,

761
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: the one team that didn't do that against the Chiefs

762
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: recently was the Raiders for reasons that I don't know

763
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: the result of. Patrick Mahomes had four hundred and six

764
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: passing yards and five passing touchdowns that included about two

765
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy yards after the catch for his receivers.

766
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: So the Raiders just couldn't tackle, couldn't cover, you name it,

767
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. I hope they adjust for their

768
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: own say hey right, I mean, you'd like to see

769
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: a team that would learn a little bit from its

770
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: previous mistakes from about a month ago. But if they don't,

771
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: it could be a big day for Travis Kelsey. He's

772
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: the well known quantity and the lesser known quantity. It's

773
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: kJ Osborne wide receiver for the Minnesota Viking to plays tonight.

774
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: No Adam Feeling tonight, So we'll see whether or not

775
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: kJ Osborne plays all of the Feeling snaps some of

776
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: them are most of them? I suspect them will be

777
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: at least most of those snaps, if not all those snaps.

778
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is a team that really rushes the pastor well,

779
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: but in terms of fantasy production, they've been generous to

780
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 1: opposing running backs, generous to opposing wide receivers. This could

781
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: be an opportunity for kJ Osborne to stamp his mark

782
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: as a legitimate fill in until Adam Feeling returns, which

783
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: could be as soon as next week. Yeah, okay, so

784
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: that I knew. I know it's we're working with a

785
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: professional here you and see, I'm kind of an amateur

786
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: fantasy guy. So you take the New York Jets defense,

787
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: and you got two guys on your same team that

788
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: are playing against him. You got Taysom Hill and Alvin

789
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: Kamara are playing against the Jets, and then you got

790
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: the Jets defense. See, I can't conflict myself on my

791
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: own team called hedging your back. I can't do it.

792
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: I could not cheer against myself. But yeah, yeah, give us,

793
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 1: give us the reasoning behind this. So I will tell

794
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: you that the good news is that last week kind

795
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: of makes the case for starting Taysom Hill and also

796
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: starting the defense he played against, because the Cowboys are

797
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: one of the highest scoring defenses in fantasy last week,

798
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: and yet Taysom Hill had nearly twenty one Fantasy points.

799
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: So Taysom Hill's rushing yardage, which is the easiest way

800
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: for him to pile up points, is not going to

801
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: impact your defense that much. And then so I think

802
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: it's those things can exist independent of each other. A

803
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: good enough day from your fantasy defense and a good

804
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: enough day from your fantasy quarterback or running back. But

805
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: even more importantly is that in daily fantasy, my strategy

806
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: in most weeks is to not overthink it. With defense,

807
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: I use the term punt frequently during our conversations, where

808
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: it's like, you know what, I could pay six thousand

809
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: dollars for the top ranked defense on the board this week,

810
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: but they might get you ten fantasy points, whereas you

811
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: could spend percent of that and you might get six

812
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: or seven fantasy points, and that's better. So to me,

813
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: I think that there's value in not overthinking it, going

814
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel for your defense in a lot

815
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: of cases, and this is a good case where I

816
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: think such could be. The results are awesome. Cool Any

817
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: thoughts quickly on Bills bucks Field we I mean, I

818
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: think this is the most talented roster the Bills defense

819
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: has seen this year, with wall to wall weapons for Brady,

820
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: and he's well on his way to another MVP season.

821
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: This is not an easy one here, not an easy one.

822
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: I think the key to me for Buffalo, and I

823
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: think that this is a week and you want to

824
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: start fast every week. You guys can know this better

825
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: than I, but I'm sure Monday is gonna linger. It's

826
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: one of those games. It's just hard to just wipe

827
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: the slate clean and just move on from it. But

828
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: if you start fast on Sunday, that can help turn

829
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: the page quickly, right, But you can't fall behind and

830
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: lose the emotional edge. And I know the Bills there's

831
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: been a lot of rhetoric about also balancing the offense

832
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: a little bit, running the football more, being more physical.

833
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those weeks where it

834
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: actually might behoove the Bills to kind of stick to

835
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: what has worked for a long time for them since

836
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's ascension to one of the three or four

837
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the league, which is throwing the football

838
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: a ton, because Tampa's defense is a funnel against the

839
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: pass and is a brick wall against the runs. So

840
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: those are some of the keys that I'm watching on Sunday.

841
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Bills, all things considered, take

842
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: a big step back. They're going to be Okay. It's

843
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: a frustrating couple of weeks here, but this is a

844
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: good way to reverse the tenor and reverse some of

845
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: the narratives that are prevailing right now with a win

846
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: down in Tampa Bay. All right, Field, appreciate the time.

847
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: As always, thanks for the ultimate fantasy lineup presented by

848
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: fan Duel. Make every moment more. We will catch up

849
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: with you next week. All right, guys, sounds good to

850
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: take care and talk to you. Then. All right, that's

851
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: Field Yates NFL, ESPN, NFL Insider and Fantasy Football List

852
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: joining us here as he does every week. We will

853
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: take a break get back to some of your phone

854
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: calls and your thoughts on the tweet sheet about what

855
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: you think this game will look like on Sunday. Your

856
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: choices are there at One Bills Live. We're back in

857
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: a moment to discuss. We'll see in a second. Buffalo

858
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: Bills would like to thank this week's game sponsored Gabe's Collision,

859
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: the official auto collision repair center of the Buffalo Bills.

860
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: We do want to get right back to the phones,

861
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: as we have been asking you today, type of game

862
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: do you expect to see Sunday when the Bills visit

863
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks. And waiting is Jeff and Buffalo to comment. Jeff,

864
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: what do you have for us here on one Bills Live.

865
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Hi, guys, Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't have

866
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: a question about that. I have a question about the

867
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: last week's game of Okay, sure, go ahead, I'm all right.

868
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: It has to do with the choice not to go

869
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: for a two point conversion after Davis caught his touchdown.

870
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: I can't wrap my head around this. They mean they

871
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: were down eight to nothing and they chose to go

872
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: for a pat rather than the two point conversion to

873
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: tie the game in a low scoring game, and you

874
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be a low scoring game

875
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: going in because of the conditions. I mean, that could

876
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: have been the final score eight to seven, and how

877
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: sorry would you be if you didn't go for the

878
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: conversion then and the final and later on in the game.

879
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 1: As it turned out, it was fourteen to ten instead

880
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: of fourteen eleven, and Bass's last field goal attempt would

881
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: have been meaningless. Really, I mean, I have been fourteen

882
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: to thirteen. That's not true, Jeff. If if Basses last,

883
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If Bass's field goal goes through, the

884
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: Bills win that game, because they come out after that

885
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: after that missfield goal, it would have been a made

886
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: field goal. They got a three and out and went

887
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: down and had a chance to win it again, and

888
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have had to win it again. All they

889
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: would have had to line up and kick another field

890
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 1: goal and they would have won it. Right, But the

891
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: fact is that had they kicked it, it's still I mean,

892
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: you're assuming that they would have gone in again. I mean,

893
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: the fact is that if they had gotten it, they

894
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: would have been it would have been fourteen thirteen. And

895
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: the way and the way the Patriots were running the ball,

896
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: they may never have gotten the ball back. Yeah, But

897
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: I think the point there was actually Steve's making is

898
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: that actually did happen because they lined up to take

899
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: the field goal, Bass kicked it and missed it, and

900
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: Steve's saying if he kicked it and made it and

901
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: everything else that happened after happened, they would have been

902
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: in position to win the game. Because Pat's come back

903
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: out on the field, the defense, the Bill's defense sends

904
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: him three and out. Well, they got two cracks at it,

905
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: and here's they made the field goal the first time.

906
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: All they gotta do is kick a field goal the

907
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: second time. They win by two and if they and

908
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: if they go for it on fourth and miss it,

909
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: they're in the exact same spot they were anyway. No, well,

910
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, I'm just talking about the man

911
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: opening that. Yeah, I get it. That could have been

912
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: the end of the game right there. Well, I you

913
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: know what if that was the end of the game,

914
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: Uh so be it what happens if it ends up

915
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 1: eight six, I mean, that's the end of the game too.

916
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there's you can't I mean, I get it,

917
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 1: you want to tie it up, keep paid whatever. But

918
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: it was the first quarter. First quarter that was I mean,

919
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: that was the only reason I didn't have a project.

920
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: That's what. Yeah, me too. And that's that's exactly it.

921
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: It was the first quarter. That's the only reason I

922
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: didn't raise my eyebrows because there was going to be

923
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: another dozen opportunities when he had the football in, or

924
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: not another dozen, but ten. And coach mcdermots, to his

925
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: credit after the game, said we did think about it.

926
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: We did consider going for two. But the difference also

927
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: was the Patriots didn't have an option at that point

928
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: in the game to try an extra point from thirty

929
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: three yards away. They were going into the scoreboard end,

930
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: which was an absolute mess, as we saw from Tyler

931
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: Bass's kick later in the game. I was shooting video

932
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: of the uprights at about six thirty and I tweeted

933
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: it out. I mean, it's like the uprights were waving

934
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: at me. The wind was blowing so bad down at

935
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: the scoreboard end. And the only reason Belichick went for

936
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: two was because kicking one was not an option at

937
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: that end of the field. Now, the Bills scored at

938
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: the tunnel end with the wind, so an extra point

939
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,479
Speaker 1: was an option and they hit it. It's the first

940
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: quarter they opted to kick the point after. In hindsight,

941
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: it's like, ah, I didn't you try to match him

942
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: and go eight eight. I get. I get the argument.

943
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: You want to make the argument. That's fine. I know

944
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of coaches that that early in the

945
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: game aren't going to chase points. They're gonna get the

946
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: points that they feel they can capably get. And you

947
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: got one of the best kickers in the league chose

948
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: to take the extra point with the wind at his back.

949
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to score. You're gonna have to score

950
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: again anyway win the game, whether you make a two

951
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: point or not. That's right, it's tied, or you're down one,

952
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: or if you go for it and don't get it,

953
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: you're down two. Right, So you're gonna have to score

954
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: again to win the game anyway. So there you go.

955
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: Break time for us here, because when we come back,

956
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: it is time for the Hall of Famer to join

957
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: us Thurman Thomas for our number two of the program.

958

Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at

960
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: a Steve Tesker who has been all over her fields.

961
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

962
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

963
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: in the strated beer of normalcy. All right, here we

964
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: are our number two and as promised, the Hall of

965
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 1: Famer Thurman Thomas joining us here on the program. Thurm.

966
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Have you recovered from Monday night?

967
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: Not really, I'm a little under the weather, sorry to

968
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: hear that. Yeah, yeah, no COVID related, nothing like that,

969
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: just under the weather from the game. But yeah, I recovered.

970
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm in the Bill Belichick move. Trying to

971
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: move on, move on to the next game. Okay, yeah,

972
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: Well let's ask you what our question for the game is.

973
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: How do you think this Tampa Bay game is gonna look?

974
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be a track meet? Is it gonna

975
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: be a slug fest? Is it gonna be a lopsided

976
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,959
Speaker 1: a fair one way or the other or something else.

977
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a slugfest. I actually think.

978
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: I think after that game against New England, the Bills

979
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: realize that I think they need to be a little

980
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: bit more physical than what they are. But I think

981
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: coming into this game, Tampa's gonna do one thing that

982
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: New England did, and they're they're going to see a

983
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of Leonard Fournette up the middle outside. Um. I

984
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: mean that's what Tampa is kind of built into. Even

985
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: though Tom Brady's having an outstanding year, probably will throw

986
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: for over five thousand yards again at the age of fifty.

987
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: I think that's all right for that long. But uh yeah,

988
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a slug fast um Um.

989
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: I think Tampa's gonna come in and look at that

990
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: film of New England and they're gonna try to do

991
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: an exact same thing. But uh, you know, even if

992
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: the Bills do stop that run against Tampa Bay, I mean,

993
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: they still got to deal with Mike Abbans good winning

994
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: all the rest of those guys right now. And this

995
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: is the thing that gets me. I like, Leonard Fournette

996
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 1: is running back better than either of the two New

997
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: England running backs. I think he's better than both. So

998
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: that's that's what gets me about this whole game. That

999
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: the New England running back to the nice job and

1000
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: they're they're fresh and all that, but Leonard Fournett's I

1001
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: think better than both of them. I think I think

1002
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: so too. I'm man, I really love the guy when

1003
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: he was coming out of LSU. We've had some we

1004
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: actually had a conversation about a year ago. A year ago. Uh,

1005
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: just kind of on just talking about his training that

1006
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: he does during the off season and what he goes through, uh,

1007
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, doing the off season. So uh. And the

1008
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: thing about Leonard Fournette too is that he can run.

1009
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: He can also catch the football too, and they do

1010
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: a lot of squeeze with him, and uh, he's a

1011
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: bad talent with the young man, and I think the

1012
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: Bills are going to see a lot of him come

1013
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: Sunday even. All right, So Thurman, talk to me about

1014
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: that transformation, because this is a guy that never even

1015
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: saw a ball in flight at lsu UM, you know,

1016
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: and then even in his early in the early part

1017
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: of his pro career, he was a first and second

1018
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 1: down guy. He gets he gets to Tampa last year

1019
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 1: late in the year. You know, he's a late arrival.

1020
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: But we were talking to Dave Moore, the Bucks radio analysts,

1021
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: who played tight end a couple of years here with

1022
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: the Bills, and he said every day after practice he

1023
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: would get a one on one, fifteen minute session with

1024
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: Brady and he just throw them passes every single day

1025
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: after practice. And he did that. He continued that this

1026
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: year it's you don't really see this kind of transformation

1027
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: in a player's fifth season, but here we are with

1028
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette. How impressive is that, you know, from a

1029
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: pro five years in to diversify his game that way.

1030
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: I think it's very impressive, you know what. And he

1031
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: kind of it goes back to, you know, when into

1032
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: my second year, that's what man Jim Kelly. Me and

1033
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly used to stay off the practice because I

1034
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: know we were going to be involved with the KA

1035
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: gun and coming out of Oklahoma State, I I cared

1036
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: the ball almost a thousand times throughout my four year

1037
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: career and only had not a lot of pass perception

1038
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: coming out of the backfield or anything like that. So

1039
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,720
Speaker 1: for him to be able to do that and obviously

1040
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: be with Tom Brady, Tom Brady wants to use him

1041
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: as much as possib I think it's great that he's

1042
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 1: been able to get his game to be well a rounded.

1043
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 1: It makes him more of a threat. You don't see

1044
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 1: too many people blitz in him because he can definitely

1045
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: stay in the backfield and pick up the blitz a lot.

1046
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: But to see him catch screens and to see him

1047
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver sometimes I think it's a credit

1048
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: to him and a credit to Bruce Arians and all

1049
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: those guys that he is well rounded running back in

1050
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: the National Football League now, and I'm very impressed with him.

1051
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: As you see this team, and I think you I

1052
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: don't want to put words in your mouth, but I

1053
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: think you know we've communicated enough. I think we both

1054
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: believe this Bill's team is really talented and they've got enough.

1055
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: They've got enough horses to go and win a championship

1056
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: if they play their best every week. What do you

1057
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: think contributes to the inconsistency we've been playing one week

1058
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: we've been seeing week. One week they're up, they play

1059
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: really good. The next week they can't score points, right,

1060
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: you can't stop the run. Then next week they're playing

1061
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, they hold a team to six points. That

1062
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I mean, what do you think leads

1063
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: to this team and it's up and the up and

1064
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 1: down nature we've seen from it for the last six

1065
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: or seven weeks. Yeah, I don't know, Cask. I'll tell

1066
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: you what I have. No idea is the play calling,

1067
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: is that, the defense is that the special teams? I

1068
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: have no idea. I can't put I couldn't put my

1069
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: finger on it. But I talked to Jerry Hughes a

1070
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago after they beat I can't even

1071
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: remember who it was, but he said, now, we just

1072
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: need to get this winning streak going. We need to

1073
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: win games two or three games in a row. In

1074
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: the last week's six weeks, you've seen them win, lose, win, lose,

1075
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: and and Jerry was very adamant about what he was

1076
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: talking about about. You know, we need to get on

1077
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: a two game winning street or a three game winning

1078
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: streak to kind of separate us from the pack because

1079
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: right now they're in the seven seat. Yea, yeah, yeah,

1080
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 1: they're in the seventh seat. Now you think about that,

1081
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: we were at the top all year long, all the

1082
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: way until now now we're at number seven. We lose

1083
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: this game, we probably dropped the number what nine, probably

1084
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: something like that, and then there'll be really a lot

1085
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: of pressure on these guys. But I think there's over

1086
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, man, they've just been too inconsistent.

1087
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't really seen the Stefan Diggs that

1088
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: we saw last year, and that right there is something

1089
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: that I'm very worried about. I don't know if they're

1090
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: double teaming them every single every single play. Is he

1091
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: manage Sanders not stretching the defense enough? What's going on

1092
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: with Colbs. It's always something every single week that is

1093
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 1: not going right with this offense. And uh, I'll tell

1094
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: you what. These last five weeks, it's gonna be very

1095
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: telling for the Buffalo Bills. But I do think this

1096
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: is probably the most important game of the season, going

1097
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay, a physical football team. So I'm thinking, yeah,

1098
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: you want to win five in a row, but I

1099
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: think the Bills are gonna need at least four out

1100
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 1: of these last five games to get into the playoffs. Yeah.

1101
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: I think we said that as well, to get to

1102
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 1: make sure they're in. And then if you start losing

1103
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: one or two, then you're gonna have to start looking

1104
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: at the rest of the standings saying, Okay, who's we

1105
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: need this team to beat that team and that team

1106
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: to beat that other team, and you don't want to

1107
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: be in that spot. Although it's such a tight race

1108
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: at the top of the conference, everybody's within a game

1109
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: and a half, so you really just win your game

1110
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: and then see what happens and see where you stand

1111
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: after that. It's it's it's a long way these last

1112
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: five games. There's a lot in those last five games

1113
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: for everybody in the conference. Yeah, I mean look at that.

1114
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the last team that's in the

1115
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: hut is six and seven, and you gotta look at

1116
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: that and be like, well, the Bills are seven and five,

1117
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: but they're only two games from being completely out of

1118
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: the hut. So I do think that this is probably

1119
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: the most important game of the season. And I'll tell

1120
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: you what, if the Bills go out and play tough,

1121
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: physical football, score some points, don't have any turnovers, don't

1122
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of penalties, and they win this football game,

1123
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: that will give them the confidence to go forward. I

1124
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,919
Speaker 1: guarantee that will happen. I think we'll see a different

1125
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: football team for the rest of the year, but it

1126
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: starts in Tampa Sunday. Yeah. But thuring, just from a

1127
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: player's perspective, just try to explain this to the fans

1128
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: and the layman out there. You know, they weren't in

1129
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: the locker rooms or it didn't have to summon up

1130
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: the courage every week to you know, get into about

1131
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty car accidents on a football field every

1132
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: week when you know you're playing a physical opponent. Is

1133
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: it possible to just summon that up within yourself and

1134
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: match that physical intensity or does that have to be

1135
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: part of who you are because I'm I'm thinking like

1136
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: the way we're talking about this, it almost sounds like, Wow,

1137
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: they better turn it up and play physical this week.

1138
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if that's something that you can turn

1139
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: on and off to play at this level of the game. No,

1140
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: that needs to be on every single week. There's none

1141
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: of that, you know, taking one week off of being

1142
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: up a nest football team. Like you said, it's a

1143
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: car rick every time you snap the ball, and so no,

1144
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: that's not something that you turned on and turn off.

1145
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: That's something that you have to have within your DNA

1146
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven, three hundred and sixty five days

1147
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: out of the year. So I think these I think

1148
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: the Bills will do that. I think they will come

1149
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: out and I think once the first quarter, the first

1150
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: couple of series overwin, I think you'll understand get an

1151
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: idea of where these guys are. I don't think it'll

1152
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: take us that law to figure out if they're still

1153
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: hurting from the new England laws. So they're still hurting

1154
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: for them, you know, whatever it may be. I think

1155
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: coming into the first quarter, you'll see what type of

1156
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: football team is going to play for the rest of

1157
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: the game against Tampa Bay. What do you think about

1158
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line getting perhaps getting Feliciano back in the lineup,

1159
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: and Spencer Brown the kind of difference he made this

1160
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: last week. What did you think of it? Up of

1161
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: everything up front, Starlot to lay back in the lineup,

1162
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: both offensive and defensive line seemingly at more full strength. Yeah,

1163
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what they look, it's at the

1164
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: end of the year. I know every team is beat

1165
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: up in the National Football League, and we're getting some

1166
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: of our guys back in Uh what a perfect time

1167
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: to be getting healthy at the end of the year.

1168
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Getting Policiano back, Spencer Brown, you know what, those two

1169
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: guys make a difference in this offense. And and and

1170
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: one thing I do want to say is that it

1171
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: cannot all be just Josh Allen. Okay, let's just stop that.

1172
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: It cannot all be on Josh Allen. Other players have

1173
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: to step up in this offense. Whether it's the offensive line,

1174
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: whether it's the running backs to tight end, all the

1175
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver. It cannot all be on Josh Allen. The

1176
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: guy has enough pressure on him right now, being a

1177
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: number one quarterback here in the National Football League, an

1178
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: MVP runner up last year in the National Football League.

1179
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: This guy cannot do it all by himself. Now. I

1180
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: know last year was an unbelievable year for Josh Allen

1181
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: and man the numbers that he put up, but you

1182
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: know what, it goes from year to year. Your numbers

1183
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: are not gonna be the same every single year. So hey, look,

1184
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: you know Dawson Knox, you know, dropped a couple of

1185
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: passes in the game against the New England Patriot. You

1186
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: can't have that. You have to make You have to

1187
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: make big plays to help Josh Allen out because he

1188
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: cannot do it by himself. The other thing, therm uh,

1189
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: the Gabriel Davis question. We've had a lot of fans

1190
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: say that he's got to get on the field more.

1191
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: Steve and I have talked about it. It seems like

1192
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: whenever he is on the field, good things happen. Not

1193
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: just from a receiving perspective, but I would argue he's

1194
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: the best blocking receiver you have on the roster right

1195
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: when's he going to get on the field more, and

1196
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: who is it at the expense of I don't know, Brownie,

1197
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: but I've been thinking the last couple of weeks. He

1198
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: does need to be on the field. I mean, you

1199
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: look at his numbers, they're not even where they were

1200
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: last year. But every time with this guy's on the

1201
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: football field, he makes plays. And like you said, he

1202
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: is probably the best blocker that they have at the

1203
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: whip receiver wide receiver position. So I would love to

1204
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: see more of Gabriel Davis. But in that what do

1205
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: you do? Do you take plays away from Immanuel Sanders?

1206
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Do you take plays away from Cole Beasley? You're definitely

1207
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna take plays away from Stefani Diaz because you want

1208
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: him out there all the time. Do you go to

1209
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: four wideous I don't know, but Gabriel Davis needs to

1210
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: be on the football field making plays because every time

1211
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: he's out there, he's making plays for his football team.

1212
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: And he needs to play a lot more snaps and

1213
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: he has been throughout the year. What do you think

1214
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: about the way they handled their running backs so far,

1215
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary's act, Moss, Matt Breta, they had all four

1216
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: they had all of those three of those guys active

1217
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: for the first time against the Patriots, and of course

1218
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,479
Speaker 1: with Taiwan, Jones had four running backs active for the game.

1219
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Gillian Reggie Gillian fullback wasn't active, but they had Bredam

1220
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Mosson Singletary all active for the Patriots game. How do

1221
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: you think they're what do you think they're thinking about

1222
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: the running back position and how do you think it's

1223
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna go going forward? See if I don't know, Yeah,

1224
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: to be with you, I have no idea. I mean,

1225
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen the running backs really take control

1226
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: of a game football game this year. I mean, but

1227
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I do. I do think that that starts up front.

1228
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: I think that starts up front with the offensive line

1229
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: and what they're doing. I don't know if it's a

1230
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: scheme that they're running, but I don't know. I mean,

1231
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: it's just a lot of questions in the air right

1232
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: now about the running back position, about the offensive linemen,

1233
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: of what they're doing right now. Hey, I would love

1234
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: to see these guys. I would love to see one

1235
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: guy get over one hundred yards this year, one yot

1236
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: had we had that this year, we have not the

1237
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: last time it happened was the Denver game last year

1238
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: when if you remember, Singletary had the long fifty one

1239
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run when the game was already over and

1240
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: that's the only reason he got over one hundred. That's

1241
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: the last single one hundred yard rusher in a game

1242
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: for the Bills. That's incredible to me as a former

1243
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: running back. That's incredible that to go so long and

1244
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: not have a guy rush for over one hundred yards

1245
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen Is is either leading rushing on the

1246
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: football team for the season, I don't think so, not

1247
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: for the season single Singletaries first, allen Is second. I

1248
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: will say this about Singletary. He's averaging four point six

1249
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: to carry in a year where the offensive line has

1250
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: been a series of shuffling and you know, the blocking

1251
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: hasn't been consistent. I think he's got to get some

1252
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: credit for that. Um Singletaries get the most carries on

1253
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: the team. He had. Singletary's got four hundred and ninety

1254
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: five yards one hundred and eight carries. Josh has four

1255
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: twenty two on seventy five carries, and then everybody else

1256
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: has got less than three hundred third. But I gotta

1257
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: ask you, though, because I know I asked you this

1258
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: last week, Zack Moss. It just seems like he's hesitant

1259
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: in choosing his holes and getting past the getting to

1260
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And I understand earlier in the

1261
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: season there were penetration issues him and Motor often had

1262
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 1: to dodge some in the backfield before they even got

1263
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: to the line. But there seemed again this past week

1264
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: to be instances where there was a hole to exploit

1265
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: and he just didn't get there. And I'm wondering what

1266
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 1: it is. And I know I asked you last week

1267
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: and you weren't sure, and I didn't know if there

1268
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: was anything you may have spotted in last week's game

1269
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: that served as some evidence to at least give you

1270
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: a theory as to what's going on there. Well, Bright,

1271
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: I think there was a play down. I think it

1272
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: was a play down on the goal line. I think

1273
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: it was maybe about an eight yard line where if

1274
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: he instead of just pounding it straight up in there,

1275
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: if he just cuts to the right, I mean he

1276
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: walked right into the end zone. Yeah, it was a

1277
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: big hole, big hole right out to the side of

1278
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: the right side to pour touchdown. And uh, I don't

1279
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: know what it is. I I think as a young guy,

1280
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I think his confidence confidence level

1281
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: is high. But I think when you're a running back

1282
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: and sometimes you're trading with one guy, you're coming in

1283
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: for another guy, you're kind of rotating, you don't get

1284
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: into a groove. And I think that's what has happened

1285
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: to Zach Mars, is that he hasn't got into a groove. Secretary.

1286
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: You know, for the better part of the season, that's

1287
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: been pretty effective. Like you said, he's having over four

1288
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: yards per carry. But I think zach Mars, I think

1289
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: that his confidence level needs to get back up. I think,

1290
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, when you rotate and rotate like that, you know,

1291
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't give you an opportunity to show what

1292
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: you got to do, what you can do. But I

1293
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: do think he needs to see the ball a little

1294
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: bit more than that. I don't know if that's going

1295
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: to happen come Sunday, but we have to just have

1296
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,919
Speaker 1: to wait and see, man, because I thought coming into

1297
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: this year that Secretary and Zach Mars would be like

1298
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: the number one and two punch throughout the National Football League,

1299
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: but that just hasn't happened. Yeah, I like your answer, though.

1300
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: The rhythm answer is an interesting one. We've talked Rubens

1301
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: talked about that to us, Yeah, and we've had here

1302
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: seems to be a consensus around players like offensive lineman

1303
01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: and running backs that the more you do it, the

1304
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: better you get. But until you can do it well

1305
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: enough to keep doing it, you don't get a chance

1306
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: to get good at chicken and the build and with

1307
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen playing the way he did particularly last year,

1308
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: and with the weapons have got outside, you're not gonna

1309
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: get much more opportunity unless you're really killing it in

1310
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: a certain game. And they haven't been able to do that. No,

1311
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to do that. And it's a

1312
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,479
Speaker 1: shame because, like I said, you know, like you said

1313
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: early and see, we have just as much talent as

1314
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: anybody in the National Football League when you look at

1315
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, and for us to

1316
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 1: be struggling weekend and week out of not being consistent,

1317
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: not scoring the ports, having bad penalties at certain times,

1318
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: you know what, this is not what we saw last year.

1319
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: And to come back to this year and to be

1320
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, one of the favorites to probably go to

1321
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and a lot of people picked the

1322
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills to go to the Super Bowl and win

1323
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and for this team not to be

1324
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: playing up to those expectations right now is really you know,

1325
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: as a former player, it hurts me. It hurts me

1326
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: to see these guys struggling weekend and week out, winning

1327
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 1: one game and losing one game and continue that street

1328
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 1: because I think Steve and I and Bruce and everybody,

1329
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: we talk about it all the time. You know, we

1330
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: want to see these guys succeed weekend and week year

1331
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,640
Speaker 1: in and year out. And for us too, where do

1332
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: we go thirteen and three last year? I mean, this

1333
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: is you know, this isn't fun, not only for probably

1334
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 1: for them, but it's not fun for us. It's former players,

1335
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: and it's not fun for the fans either, because you know,

1336
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 1: we expect our teams to be better, especially coming off

1337
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: of last year. We expect our teams to be better

1338
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: than what they're performing right now. Derman gets him, rest

1339
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: tell Patty to whip up some chicken soup and yeah,

1340
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: and we'll catch up with the next week and hopefully

1341
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: we're talking about a victory. All right, Rest up, fellow,

1342
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely appreciate it. Guys, Deurman Thomas the Hall of Famer

1343
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: joining us here on One Bills Live. We are going

1344
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: to take a break right now, and when we come back,

1345
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: we will have Josh Allen for you as he is

1346
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: addressing the media after practice as we speak, we'll get

1347
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: his comments to you next here on one Bills Live,

1348
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: presented by Kalaid to Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1349
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: welcome back to one Bills Live. Good conversation. They were

1350
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: returning Thomas the Hall of Favorite and we move now

1351
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: to a current Bills player who is addressing the media

1352
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: following Thursday's practice. Here is Josh Allen. Yeah, I mean

1353
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: it starts with good decisions, protecting the football, I'm not

1354
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,799
Speaker 1: putting it in harm's way, and making sure protection we're protected,

1355
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 1: and making any checks that I can at the line

1356
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: to put us out of a bad situation. So it

1357
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: starts with me and again finding completions early on, wearing

1358
01:09:49,439 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: down the defense and utilizing our skill. Guys. Yeah, absolutely,

1359
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think, uh again, there there's been times

1360
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: throughout our season where we've been able to move the

1361
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: ball um, but sometimes when it comes down to critical situations,

1362
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: we haven't made the best decisions we haven't executed properly

1363
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: like we want to, like we know we can. Uh,

1364
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: so again we're cleaning things up. Um. But again I've

1365
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: got no no doubt whatsoever in our and our guys,

1366
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: our playmakers are Line and myself. UM, you know, we're

1367
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: we're excited to get back on the field and um

1368
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: go out there and and try to put our best

1369
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: foot forward. I mean, we still got it, you know. Uh,

1370
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, just we're working on things again. Um, you know,

1371
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: we're just trying to be the best versions of ourselves

1372
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: and try to go with the victory on Sunday watching Brady,

1373
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 1: you know, And what's something one thing that stands out

1374
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: about Yeah, I mean just obviously how long he's played.

1375
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: He's undeniably the greatest of all time. Um. On top

1376
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: of that, he's a great, great human being. Um, but

1377
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 1: in terms of mechanics and how he plays the game,

1378
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: he's been able to win from within the pocket his

1379
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: entire career. He's able to cipher defenses before the snap,

1380
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: and he's able to make quick adjustments right after the snap.

1381
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,719
Speaker 1: He knows where his guys are, he knows his playbook

1382
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: better than anybody else in the building. Um, I mean,

1383
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 1: I can go on and on of what makes him great. Mechanically,

1384
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: he's always working on something and trying to be as

1385
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,759
Speaker 1: sound as possible and as fluid as possible, which again,

1386
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: he's still able to make all the throws that you

1387
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: you can ask for from a quarterback. And UM, it's

1388
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: very impressive that he's able to do that. I mean,

1389
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:56,560
Speaker 1: he said cart mechanics and identifying. Yeah, I mean, I

1390
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: think you know his quarterback is an art and a science.

1391
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: It's not it's not one or the other. It's a

1392
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: mixture of both, and he's able to do it better

1393
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: than anybody else. Like, Yeah, there's a lot of statistics

1394
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 1: out there that show scoring first gives yourself a higher

1395
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: percentage chance of winning the football game, as well as

1396
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,600
Speaker 1: leading at halftime, UM, as well as turnover differential. So

1397
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: you know we're trying to again, Coach McDermott does a

1398
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: great job of preaching what we need to do to

1399
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: win football games, and it's up to us to go

1400
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,439
Speaker 1: out there, excute and hold on to the football, UM,

1401
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: get off to a fast, fast start, and UM, ultimately

1402
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 1: try to go win a football game. Or howe you

1403
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: evolved in the way you feel you should utilize running

1404
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, maybe compared to totally in your career. Yeah,

1405
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's um it's a luxury to have.

1406
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: I guess when when things break down or I might

1407
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 1: miss a read or anything like that, and am able

1408
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: to extend plays and now you're forcing dbs to cover

1409
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 1: for a longer period of time. But again, I want

1410
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. I want to get it out

1411
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 1: to the guys that are a lot faster than a

1412
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: lot quicker than I am, and again downfield. So it's there.

1413
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: I guess when I need to use it, and again

1414
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 1: if it's in the running game or not. If I'm

1415
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: asked to do that, that's what I'm willing to do.

1416
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to be the, like I said,

1417
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:40,640
Speaker 1: the best quarterback I can be for the Bills. Have

1418
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: you consciously stayed in the pocket as your career has

1419
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: gone on and maybe not take it off the way

1420
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: you would have earlier. I wouldn't say that. I just

1421
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:54,440
Speaker 1: understanding certain situations, knowing that the best ability is availability,

1422
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: and when I do run, trying to get down and

1423
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: be safe and not take as many hits because I

1424
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: took a lot early in my career and I feel

1425
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 1: like I've limited those. But um, again, I don't know

1426
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: if it's a conscious effort to stay in the pocket,

1427
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 1: but it's a conscious effort to get my guys the ball.

1428
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Talked a lot about look you and other players pressing

1429
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: and times trying to get things fixed right late in

1430
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 1: games this season. Historically you and his offense have been

1431
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 1: really good late in play in games. This season, it's

1432
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: been a little bit to stats are a little bit

1433
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 1: browny um, And I think it's just being calm under pressure,

1434
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: understanding the assignment, understanding the situation, relying on our coaching

1435
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: staff what we've been taught, and um, just trying to execute.

1436
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know, UM, you know, there's obviously certain

1437
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:44,520
Speaker 1: situations that call for different actions and different um mentalities.

1438
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: I guess you would say, um, but again, there's a

1439
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: fine balance between being aggressive but being smart at the

1440
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: same time. And again that's an ever evolving aspect of

1441
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 1: the game that you've got to continue to grow with.

1442
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 1: I just think it's eleven guys going out and executing. Um.

1443
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 1: It's not so much the plays as it is how

1444
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: we execute those plays, decision making on my part, UM

1445
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 1: being smart with when two and when to not take

1446
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 1: a sack or throw the ball away, um, and ultimately

1447
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: giving our guys an opportunity to go make a play

1448
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 1: last week. And it's just the mood of mentality as

1449
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: you guys down there. I mean, we're extremely hungry, UM,

1450
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: I think there obviously there's a sense of urgency of

1451
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:48,280
Speaker 1: what we need to do. And again there's no panic

1452
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,560
Speaker 1: in our locker room. We're extremely united right now with

1453
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: what we need to do. We've had a couple of

1454
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: really good days of practice and walkthroughs and uh, you know,

1455
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to going out there and um getting

1456
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: a chance to play against the defense ending world champs.

1457
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: UM and are be one of the greatest quarterback, like

1458
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: I said, the greatest quarterback that ever play the game. So, UM,

1459
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: you know we're we're a hungry team and we want

1460
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: to go out there and prove what type of team

1461
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: we are, not to you guys with everybody else, but

1462
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 1: to ourselves because we know the type of guys that

1463
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 1: we have in this locker room and the team that

1464
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: we can be talked a lot about eating it up.

1465
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 1: UM playferent. Are you see the part you know? Yeah,

1466
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's notorious for having a really good

1467
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: defense and I think his track record kind of speaks

1468
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 1: for that. And um, you know, the defense is very

1469
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: multiple and what they do. You know, they've they've got

1470
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 1: some real talented playmakers on that side of the ball,

1471
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 1: especially upfront. Um, they've got got a couple of safeties

1472
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: that have a lot of range too, that makes them

1473
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 1: makes some plays. Um, They're they're very physical, they're aggressive. Um,

1474
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 1: and like I said, they just they switch up a

1475
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: lot of different things and give you some different looks.

1476
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: So we got to be um on our p's and

1477
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: queues of of whatever they can bring, smart with our

1478
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: hot throws and ultimately just trying to hold onto the

1479
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: football and um end every kick with our every drive

1480
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: with a kick. Bean, one of the leaders on this team,

1481
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,679
Speaker 1: How do you guys kind of there's that line between

1482
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: like panic and urgency at night that said there's urgency

1483
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: in there unless the panic, but how do you kind

1484
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: of make sure it stays on that urgency side and

1485
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 1: kind it doesn't lean over into that panic zone because

1486
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: that's kind of you know, there's there's a line there. Yeah, Well,

1487
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,759
Speaker 1: ultimately you got to lean on the on the leaders

1488
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: of this team. You know, we've we've got some really

1489
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: really great ones. Um, just great dudes that that have

1490
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: been in situations like this before. We've had coaches on

1491
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: our staff that have been in these types of situations,

1492
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: and um, obviously panicking is the least or the last

1493
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: thing you should do, you know. So we're just trying

1494
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: to go out there, practice hard, and try to go

1495
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: one and all this week, and that's all we can do.

1496
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't so much as add um, I'd say almost

1497
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: almost subtract and get back to basics and understanding what

1498
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 1: we're good at and what we're not so good at,

1499
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 1: and relying on what we are good at and utilizing

1500
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,639
Speaker 1: our playmakers to their strength. So um, you know, there's

1501
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:23,680
Speaker 1: nothing that we need to steal from anybody else in

1502
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: the league or uh, there's really no trends other than

1503
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: we got to go out there and execute, no matter

1504
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 1: what play is called. Well one, it's preparation, it's guys

1505
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: being on time, on task. It's leadership stepping in and

1506
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: fixing something when it's not right. Um, I think those

1507
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: are the two most important things. And then there's a

1508
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: mindset that this team has to have, and I think

1509
01:18:54,479 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 1: going forward, we're gonna have it well. I think it's

1510
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: hard to win in this league. Um, there's ups and downs,

1511
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: there's there's injuries, there's ebbs and flows to the game

1512
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: that you know, you just faced with a different situation

1513
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: every time you step on the field. Um, it's it's

1514
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 1: it's hard to be good in this game. It's hard

1515
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: to be perfect. Everybody else around you is working hard

1516
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: and growing and learning, and you got to be able

1517
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: to do the same thing. You know. It's you got

1518
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: to celebrate when you win and you gotta learn when

1519
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: you lose. And um, again that's something we're we're dealing

1520
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: with and we we gotta we gotta pull through this

1521
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: rut that we're in. And UM, you know, like I said,

1522
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: I trust in our guys here in our locker room

1523
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: and our and our coaching staff in our front office, UM,

1524
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:49,040
Speaker 1: and everybody in this building. And you know, uh, we're

1525
01:19:49,080 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 1: extremely focused and excited going forward. Like um, just executing,

1526
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,600
Speaker 1: putting the ball where it needs to be, making the

1527
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: right decisions with the football and holding onto the ball.

1528
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Leaders stepping in and saying something that things aren't going right,

1529
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: and I saw a man you will kind of kind

1530
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: of gather everybody else. Is he one of those guys

1531
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: that they can do that for sure? And again, he's

1532
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: been around the league long enough, he's been in these

1533
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: types of situations before. Guys can lean on him because

1534
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: he has an experience. Um, we're fortunate enough to have him,

1535
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 1: and um, you know we're gonna need everybody we got

1536
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,680
Speaker 1: going forward. Jackson know, I know you say you know

1537
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: a lot about how it is hard to win it

1538
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: this league, and I don't want to imply that you

1539
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: don't buy into that or believe it. But the last

1540
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: couple of months, with the struggles you guys have gone through,

1541
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 1: is it different to say those words when you kind

1542
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: of have to live through the reality of how hard

1543
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: it is the winning this league. Um, again, we're trying

1544
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,679
Speaker 1: to phrase us the right way. I do believe those words.

1545
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: I believe that it is hard to win this league.

1546
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:06,719
Speaker 1: Like I said, every situation that you're you're being faced

1547
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 1: with in games are different than maybe what you've ever

1548
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:15,720
Speaker 1: seen before. You know, whether this that everything kind of

1549
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 1: impacts a game that many people don't understand. So again,

1550
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 1: we're just trying to pull together as a team and

1551
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: put our our best foot in the right direction going forward,

1552
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 1: and like I said, that's what we're gonna trying to do,

1553
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: all right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media. Some questions

1554
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: easy to answer, so I'm not so easy. I found

1555
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: it interesting that he described the offense being in a rut.

1556
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 1: And look, to Josh's credit, and we've said this many times,

1557
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 1: he's one of the most self aware players I've ever

1558
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: been around. Right when something is missing from his game,

1559
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,679
Speaker 1: he's the first to identify it even before the media

1560
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 1: asked him a question about it. And he's always willing

1561
01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:02,680
Speaker 1: to accept responsibility for what is not going well. That's

1562
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: what you do as a quarterback, and for a young guy,

1563
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:10,439
Speaker 1: he does that exceptionally. Well, yeah, he's um And you

1564
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: know this is it's tough to h On the one hand,

1565
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: do everything you can do for your team, to try

1566
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 1: and work hard enough to figure out, you know, what

1567
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 1: your problems are and work on getting them better and

1568
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 1: getting your head around being better and what you have

1569
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: done well and getting back to what you have done well.

1570
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 1: And also kind of you know, living in an atmosphere

1571
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,560
Speaker 1: where your team has cast some doubts upon itself. You

1572
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: got your your guys in the team the locker room.

1573
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: Some guys are playing well, some guys are not. And

1574
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: there's been some real criticism level at this team and

1575
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: this roster really for the first time in the way

1576
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: that that game went down the other night on Monday night,

1577
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: and I think you got to you gotta handle it,

1578
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: and you gotta find a way to accept what's real

1579
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: criticism and valid criticism and what's not just overreaction, you know,

1580
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: emotional response by you know, somebody who's bummed that they

1581
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 1: lost ten bucks on the game or something like that.

1582
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that static going on. You got

1583
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: to learn how to sort through that and not on

1584
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: one add fuel to it and be, you know, try

1585
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 1: and get better in the midst of it. That's the

1586
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: hard part. We want to get to the tweet sheet,

1587
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: which we have yet to do today, brought to you

1588
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 1: by Coring and Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1589
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. What type of game do you

1590
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,799
Speaker 1: expect to see Sunday when the Bills visit the Bucks?

1591
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: Jack says, I pray we win. I can't say I'm confident.

1592
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 1: Missing Trey White against those wide receivers and Gronk will

1593
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 1: be tough. Four net is hard to stop. If we

1594
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 1: play too deep, he could take our lunch money. Oh yeah,

1595
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 1: and some guy named Tom so we'll need to score

1596
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 1: a locked all Caps pull out all the stops and

1597
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: go for broke on offense. How much do you think

1598
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 1: risk enters into what they feel they may need to

1599
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 1: do on offense? And I guess what I mean by

1600
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: that is maybe doing not as a main component of

1601
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: your game plan, but a couple of wrinkles here and

1602
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: there that can catch the Bucks off guard. Do you

1603
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: have to dive into that area of your playbook? You

1604
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 1: always do that, though, that's part of every game plan

1605
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: you throw wrinkles in. Sometimes those wrinkles become the key

1606
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: component of your game plan, and sometimes you never need

1607
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: them because they're the defense you're facing. Thought something about you.

1608
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 1: You didn't know that they were gonna think. I'm just

1609
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 1: thinking about the history of Brian day ball, and very

1610
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: often that happens earlier in games rather than late. You

1611
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: think about the Houston playoff game, first quarter, they're throwing

1612
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: a pass to Josh Allen from a touchdown. Thanksgiving Day

1613
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: game in Dallas, you got John Brown throwing at the

1614
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: singletary in the end zone. Like those kinds of plays

1615
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 1: have usually happened in the first half of games on

1616
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 1: Dayble's call sheet. I'm wondering if they call a play

1617
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: like that to kind of get them out of this

1618
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: funk that they're in, like we're going now, ROC has

1619
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: confidence in us to execute something like this, Let's get

1620
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: it together, let's go play like that. It puts a

1621
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: charge in you know. Yeah, it doesn't take a play

1622
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: like that all. It takes a successful play. Yeah, any

1623
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: anytime you start go out and start moving the sticks

1624
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: and bing bang bingai bungay boom, you know, down this frontment.

1625
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean, thanks John Madden color commentary. You think about

1626
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 1: you think about the success this team had last year

1627
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 1: when it was so unexpected early in the season, when

1628
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: they jump out to the four and one start or

1629
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 1: four and oh start. You know, they were beating these

1630
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 1: teams and scoring thirty points doing it. They had never

1631
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 1: done that under Josh Allen or Sean McDermott. So the

1632
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: success they had early on, and it's been said about

1633
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: this team, and I think to a great extent, you

1634
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,600
Speaker 1: can say, okay, yeah, yeah, even if you don't like

1635
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,719
Speaker 1: the sound of it, they're front runners when the Bills

1636
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 1: have success early. Man, They're hard to catch and hard

1637
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 1: to stop, but you kind of hold it lit on

1638
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 1: them early on and they have a hard time fighting

1639
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 1: out of it. We've seen that time and time again.

1640
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: Now it may be an over generalization about how things

1641
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 1: really are, but there's no question when they get out

1642
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: early to a quick start and a fast start, you

1643
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 1: can bet they're gonna pile on. I mean, that's have

1644
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: been there, that's have been the way they've done, and

1645
01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 1: that hasn't always led to wins. But man, oh man,

1646
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna score thirty plus because they've got

1647
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: that under the hood. I just thought another one was Arizona.

1648
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: You know Isaiah McKenzie's throwing a touchdown pass to uh

1649
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:17,919
Speaker 1: Josh Allen right first half of the game. Cole Beasley's

1650
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 1: touchdown pass over here. I want to say it was

1651
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 1: in the first half of the game last year. Um,

1652
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't happy with the pass, but it got there

1653
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,679
Speaker 1: and they scored. I'm just wondering if that's I'm wondering

1654
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: if that's part of the plan. Well, I think the

1655
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of shake him out of way. I know that

1656
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: it's a trick play part of it. Rather than it

1657
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: is the the not only we got him, we executed,

1658
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: We're we're playing well. I mean all those plays were

1659
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: already down and there into the field. You're already moving

1660
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: the ball down there early in the game. Let's go,

1661
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: and then you punch it in. I think it has

1662
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: as much to do with being successful as it does

1663
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 1: to kind of play you run to get there. Yeah,

1664
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: because you're going against the hell of a defense. I mean, yeah,

1665
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: you may see a good team just in I think

1666
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 1: they had a pretty good year last year. How they finished.

1667
01:26:58,439 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they won it. I just think he might

1668
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: need a little that just to put them on their

1669
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: heels a little bit and be like, oh, all right,

1670
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 1: I guess we got a game here. Like that kind

1671
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 1: of thing, just put a little down in their head.

1672
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:08,679
Speaker 1: Maybe I've always gotten the feeling too, as a team

1673
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 1: that watches that, I'm like, that's it strikes me as

1674
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of desperate to do that. But it

1675
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: does work sometimes, no question, and it does have other benefits.

1676
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: Emotional break time for us. Steve and I will close

1677

1681
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: I think this is where fans are right now with

1682
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: the Bills. Dinah, when asked what type of game do

1683
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 1: you expect to see Sunday when the Bills visited the Bucks,

1684
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 1: she says, got to say other the way the Bills

1685
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,080
Speaker 1: have played this season, I have no earthly idea what

1686
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 1: to expect from them on any given game day, and

1687
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,439
Speaker 1: the last eight weeks would be a testament to that.

1688
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: Win loss, win, loss, win, loss, win loss. Yeah. So really,

1689
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:13,640
Speaker 1: the the fan base that was brimming with confidence at

1690
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: this time last year is really finding themselves in a

1691
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 1: quandary like are we gonna get the world beaters this week?

1692
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:24,120
Speaker 1: Or are we gonna you know, be up and down

1693
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: again with our consistency and execution. And it's really kind

1694
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,600
Speaker 1: of thrown Bills fans for a loop. They don't know

1695
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: what to expect, right and it's, you know, it's it's

1696
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: pretty discouraging, you know, because you don't really know what

1697
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 1: to cheer for. You want to cheer for just don't

1698

Speaker 1: make any mistakes, you know, you just want to play

1699
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 1: like you did last year. When you're thirteen in three,

1700
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 1: it's hard, hard to know this is uh. It's been frustrating,

1701
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: no question, and I think guess one of the hard

1702
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:51,200
