00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: This one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: All right, here we are already at midweek Chris Brown,

3
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker one Bill's Live, thanks for joining us. Players

4
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: are already off the practice field today just to walk

5
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: through session. As has been the case each of the

6
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: last few Wednesdays, bodies take a little bit longer to

7
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: recover this late in the season, so coaching staff giving

8
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: them an extra day to kind of take the pounding

9
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: off of the bodies by going the walk through route,

10
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: and they did that again today indoors as it is

11
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 2: a good day for a duck here in Western New York,

12
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 2: rainy and wet all day long, and so the Bill's

13
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: inside today in the field that was about fifty yards

14
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: from where we sit right now, and that session has

15
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: come to a close. As we move through the show here,

16
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: we'll be bringing you post practice podium commentary from the

17
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: likes of Josh Allen, Mitch Morse, and Tarren Johnson, So

18
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: be sure to stay tuned for that is they kind

19
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: of give you their thoughts on the upcoming matchup with

20
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: the Patriots and maybe some wrap up thoughts on pulling

21
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: the game out against the Chargers on Saturday, so I

22
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: took one extra day off, had family in town. Everybody's

23
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: returned to their homes at this point in time. So

24
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: here I am back in the saddle. Good to be

25
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: back with you, Steve. You had a good Christmas, right,

26
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: I know you were. You had a reduced numbers Christmas

27
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: with your your daughter.

28
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: In great peaceful quiet, very opposite of what it usually is. Yeah. Yes,

29
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: they were bringing the grandkids, busting the doors and if

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: you'd like, pick up the whole house, shake it like

31
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: a like a cocktail, set it back down. Yeah, that's

32
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: what it is after Christmas. But it was great. We

33
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: actually had and I told you this last week had

34
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: our Christmas like for the Dallas game that weekend, so

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: you had the actual Christmas. Was walking the park.

36
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: I could not believe. I can't remember the last time

37
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: it was fifty five degrees in Buffalo on Christmas Day.

38
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: It's happened. I got a couple of buddies that went

39
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: out and walked some golf, did a little golfing on

40
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: that just to you know, kind of just to say

41
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: you did. But it was nice.

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I golfed on Christmas in Buffalo.

43
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: I did.

44
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 4: This was you and I were talking about there.

45
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: Was a out on social I guess it's right. I'm

46
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna repeat it. This is the three hundred I believe

47
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: today would be the three hundred and fifth day in

48
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: a row where we did not have a temperature in

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo rated in the teens, which is.

50
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: The February twenty fifth last year, right, So this year,

51
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: this year back last February.

52
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: So it has been three hundred and five days without

53
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: a temperature dropping into what below twenty And that's the

54
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: longest stretch and recorded history in Buffalo.

55
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, give it ten more years. We're

56
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: going to be down in Richmond.

57
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: There's gonna be million people living in Buffalo because of

58
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: the climate. That's right, half the Eastern Seas under right wherever, Yeah,

59
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: we have we'll be coastal property. Yeah, we'll be beach front.

60
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Yeah, it'd be great. We's easy to

61
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: laugh now. Yeah.

62
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: Plenty to get to today. As we mentioned, we will

63
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: hear from players at the post practice podium, Josh Allen,

64
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: Mitch Morris, Taron Johnson, all schedule to address the media.

65
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: Will get those to you in short order. We also

66
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: have the Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas joining us in

67
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: about twenty five minutes time. So we look forward to

68
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: that conversation because there was, for the second straight week

69
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: Steve a commitment to the run game as we saw

70
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: against Dallas, not nearly as successful against the Chargers. So

71
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm curious for Thurman's thoughts on that going forward, So

72
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: we'll discuss that with him when he joins us in

73
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: studio here in about twenty five minutes. We also have

74
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: a topic a discussion that we'll get to after we

75
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: bring you up to speed on the Bills practice updates,

76
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: which are presented by leecom. You're Lake Erie College of

77
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: Osteopathic Medicine. As I mentioned at the top, Bills had

78
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: to walk through today. They will have more of a

79
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: full scale practice tomorrow in advance of the Patriots game

80
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: on Sunday. Roster move first and foremost. As you know,

81
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: the Bills had an open roster spot that they did

82
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: not fill last this week, went into last week's game

83
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: with a fifty two player roster. They have now filled

84
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: that spot with cornerback kai Yir Elam. Today was decision day.

85
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: His three week practice window had come to a close today,

86
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: so they had to make a decision put him on

87
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: the active roster or leave him on injured reserve, and

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: then he would no longer be available to the Bills

89
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: the rest of the way regular season and postseason. So

90
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: it was a sizeable decision because this is a talented player,

91
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: valuable depth player at the very least, and a guy

92
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: that can help you on special teams as well. So

93
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: he is on the active roster. He is man number

94
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: fifty three, and we'll hear Taron Johnson comment on how

95
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: he's looking now that he's kind of back on the

96
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: active roster here going forward. I don't think it's any

97
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: guarantee that he's going to be active on game day,

98
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: Steve knowing that at least when he was previously on

99
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: the active roster, he was inactive for a good portion

100
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: of the first half of the season as they chose

101
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: to dress people like Dane Jackson and Christian Benford over him.

102
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: So has any of that changed, I would say probably not,

103
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: especially knowing the gravity of these games coming.

104
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: Up right, and nobody, unless we're not being told or

105
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: not aware, I don't think any of those guys are

106
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: like dealing with anything, like they're not hobbled by anything.

107
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: It's going to make them questionable or they're not on

108
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: the injury report. All those other corners are all as

109
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: it's healthy, as they've been since trade went down, So

110
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: you know that's I think they're given the guy a

111
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: chance to be ready and coming down the stretch, you

112
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: need an athlete. You need athletes man ready to plug in, especially.

113
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: When you know you get if you get. We're assuming

114
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: things keep going in the right direction here. The Bills

115
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: qualify for the postseason, you're gonna be playing the best

116
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: of the best in the league, so you want the

117
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: best options available to you. Should God forbid, you lose

118
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: somebody at a given position, and you'd be hard pressed

119
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: to do better than your elim from a backup capacity,

120
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: just from a talent perspective alone. Coach McDermott said earlier

121
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: today that all players on the active roster we're going

122
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: to participate in today's walkthrough in some capacity. Obviously some

123
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: players of note, Ty Johnson, Micah Hyde, aj Epanessa. He

124
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: said that Epinessa and Hyde who missed last week's game,

125
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: are improving, but they're really just going to have to

126
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: take it day to day to see if there is

127
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: sizable improvement from one day to the next. In any

128
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: given day. This week, we're already at midweek, so Thursday

129
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: and Friday will go a long way in determining what

130
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: the status is for the game on Sunday for guys

131
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: like Michael Hyde and aj Epanessa who are dealing with

132
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: nexttinger and rib injuries respectively. So I don't think we

133
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: got an update on ty Johnson, who also missed last

134
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: week's game with a shoulder injury. Right, yeah, that, but

135
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: he was participating in practice as well, so it was

136
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: a walkthrough. So it's kind of hard to We.

137
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: Talked about this Maddy and I touched on at the

138
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: end of the last yesterday's show that the team, you know,

139
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: certainly they've been in the playoffs for a couple of

140
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: weeks now, but they seem to be crescendoing at the

141
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: right time and get and like with Tyers, I'm getting better.

142
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: D Jones day, Kwan Jones back on the practice field.

143
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: You got all this stuff going, even Jordan Phillips being

144
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: on ir being put there. But now he's gonna be

145
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: two weeks into a four week window, and you get

146
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: the feeling they did the surgery knowing he's gonna have

147
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: a chance to get back in if they do make

148
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: the postseason. Yeah, so they're they're crescendoing, they're playing better. Uh, certainly,

149
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: Joe Brady's getting a foundation. Or even our topic today

150
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: has to do with what they're doing offensively and who's

151
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: getting the ball. There's a lot of good things going on,

152
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: but you know, it all comes boils down to they

153
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: got to win this game this weekend, correct. Uh.

154
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: And the Patriots, as we know, are coming off a

155
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: pretty inspiring Roade victory for themselves over the Denver Broncos,

156
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: who had been playing pretty good football over the last

157
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: six or seven weeks. Uh, they've fallen on hard times

158
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 2: since then, and the loss to New England was the

159
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: latest blow to their playoff hopes.

160
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: And now they're making a financial decision about their quarterbacks.

161
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: Right Russ Wilson's gonna get benched because he's because of

162
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: the structure of his contract, like thirty seven million bucks

163
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: gets guaranteed for injury if he gets injured, so.

164
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: They don't want to get injured. Plus, so they're going

165
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: to sit him down.

166
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: With the results of that game, you know, now they're

167
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at the schedule, going, eh, we got.

168
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: A two percent chance of reaching the percent chance.

169
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Let's you know what, let's shut him down and take

170
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: our lumps. Broncos at seven and eight's you know, that

171
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: crushed him. So it looks like Russ Wilson and now

172
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: he'll probably the word coming out is he's going to

173
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: be their backup quarterback. But you know, they can't take

174
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: a chance on having to cough up thirty seven million

175
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: to a guy who's not gonna play.

176
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: Right, So, like, essentially their fear is he plays the

177
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: last two games, their chances of making the playoffs are relatively.

178
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: Remote, and I mean extremely remote.

179
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: So they're thinking, well, bad enough, we got a strong

180
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: chance of missing the playoffs. If God forbid, Wilson gets

181
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: hurt in one of these last two games and it's

182
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: something like an ACL you know, or something that requires

183
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: major throwing shoulder surgery, he's probably not playing the following season.

184
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: And we're still on the hook for all this money

185
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: for a guy that's not gonna play for us, right,

186
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: So we don't want to entertain that, right And I'll

187
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: say this too, Certainly they're going to explore options in

188
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: the offseason.

189
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's got to be painfully obvious

190
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: to everybody involved. They gave him a huge contract, no

191
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: question about it. They are looking for an out. He

192
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: hasn't played horribly.

193
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 4: He's been okay, average, he's been okay, he's protected the football,

194
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: but he hasn't been thirty seven million dollars okay, Right,

195
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 4: So they're the value they have in their in their.

196
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: Roster needs to be put towards the players who are

197
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: playing better than just okay, starting with the quarterback, They're

198
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: going to be looking at options, trying to find out somebody,

199
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: and with the with the atmosphere in the league, now

200
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: you gotta if you're an owner, right brown and you're

201
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: sitting there going, well, hey, wait a minute, the Cleveland

202
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Browns are doing with Joe Flacco. He was on the street.

203
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: Brock Perty is the last guy drafted in his draft class.

204
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: You got what are we doing? Gardner Minshew has the

205
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Colts in the conversation, I mean, what are we doing here?

206
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: Give me a guy that can play, right?

207
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: I suppose? I suppose yeah.

208
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: So, And I'm sure Sean Payton can listen, I can

209
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: do it, just bag, but I gotta have a guy

210
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: with a different skill set than Russ.

211
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: What do you think is wrong with his skill set.

212
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: We hangs onto the ball a little bit too long,

213
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: tends to let the play go off script a little

214
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: too much, puts a little too much pressure on his

215
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. Needs a way above average run game consistently.

216
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: He's better out of play action. If you get into

217
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: a drop back situation, he's just not as effective. He's

218
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: got to have some guys on the outside that really

219
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: work well, Like, you know, he could make it work

220
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: with DK Metcalf, you know, but Judy's not doing it

221
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: for him. I just think he needs too much around him, Okay,

222
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: and the offense has to look a certain way. Yeah,

223
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: he his greatest to me, his greatest skill is waiting

224
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: till laid in the play and lobbing a ball up

225
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: for grabs where he thinks he can his receiver can

226
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: get to it, nobody else can. He is a good

227
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: he is an excellent deep ball thrower. But bro without

228
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: a run game, without a run game and all, you

229
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: can't live like that, not today, not in this point

230
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: in history. So I think his skill set is just

231
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: is there and he still does some of it as

232
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: well as he And that moon ball he throws is money,

233
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: but that comes after the play is dead. So you're

234
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: sitting there as a head coach play caller watching him

235
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: mangle all your play calls and then pull one out

236
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: and he's like, come on, dude, why didn't you throw

237
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: this right here? Look at this, throw it, let it go?

238
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: So you are you sound doubtful that Russ will even

239
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: be playing for the Broncos next one.

240
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not so sure that they can get out

241
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: of that contract. I'll say this. They ain't scooching him

242
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven million guaranteed on an injury deal.

243
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right about that.

244
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: So they're gonna So yeah, I think they're gonna bring

245
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: in an at least an heir apparent.

246
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if we want to go on past precedent,

247
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: if you remember, the Raiders did this with Derek Carr

248
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: last year. They sat him down so they wouldn't have

249
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: to pay him, and we all know how that ended.

250
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: He wound up in New Orleans after he was unceremoniously released.

251
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Is there a team out there that would take on

252
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: what would be considered a low end, high level quarterback

253
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: right thirty, he's making what thirty thirty thirty three million bucks?

254
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: Josh and all these other jokers are making forty five

255
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: forty seven fifty, right, so he's making fifteen million less,

256
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: maybe twenty less than those. I think he's making thirty

257
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: three million, right something like.

258
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: I think it's more than that. He redid his deal.

259
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got a new deal when he went to

260
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: h when he went to Denver. But is there a

261
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: team out there that says, you know, we could make

262
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: it work with him. Let's give them a two A

263
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: two two's wow, whatever, and we can make work because

264
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: we've got a roster that's kind of in place. We're

265
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: the what is it, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

266
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: I could see that, you know what I mean.

267
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: So we got we're closed, we got a good coach

268
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: who's great leader, who maximizes the guys. Let's let's give

269
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: it a shot, you know what I mean.

270
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: That's not a bad destination. Not a bad destination.

271
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: I'll give you that, right.

272
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: There aren't too many others. I mean, you can probably

273
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: come up with two or three more name insert quarterback

274
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: store star team here.

275
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: That's right, that's really all you got to do.

276
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: That is the headline news from around Russell Wilson's.

Speaker 2: is Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Waddle has a high ankle sprain.

286
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: As we know, he left Sunday's game against the Cowboys

287
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: did not return. Mike McDaniel, head coach of the Dolphins,

288
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: spoke to the media down in Miami today and said

289
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: it is not a severe high ankle sprain, and he

290
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: said Jalen Waddle is one of the toughest guys he knows,

291
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: so he's not anticipating a lengthy absence. So be interesting

292
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: to see what they decide to do. You know, sit

293
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: him this week, try to play him next week against

294
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: the Bills, or knowing they already have a playoff berth,

295
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: do you sit him both weeks and just wait for

296
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: the postseason. That's another option because their their playoff seating

297
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: is somewhat fluid right now. They can improve it. It

298
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: could also get worse.

299
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: It looks like to Bills fans and Dolphins fans it's

300
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna be either Dolphins at the second seed, Bills at

301
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: the six, or the Bills at the second seed Dolphins

302
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: at the six because Cleveland can't catch Baltimore, so they're

303
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: gonna be the five seed with the With the record

304
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: that they have, Cleveland has really put together a nice season.

305
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: The Browns are ten and five, so they're not going anywhere,

306
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: and they've got their Their schedule is they end up

307
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: with They have the Jets this week and then they

308
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: play the Bengals with Tommy what's his name? No, the

309
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Bengals quarterback Jake Brown Jake Browning. So nobody is who

310
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 1: there should be anymore, right, Joe Burrows should be. They

311
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: should So the Jets are playing with whoever it is.

312
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Who's gonna be Zach or is

313
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: it gonna be the other dude, Zach Wilson. I believe

314
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Zach. So it's gonna be Zach Wilson.

315
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna face and and the and the this Jake

316
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: bread to forgive me.

317
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: I stopped paying attention to the Jets.

318
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: Right, So the Cleveland Browns are gonna win out. They're

319
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna go twelve and five looks like. So they're gonna

320
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: be they but they can't get to the top because

321
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: Bolton can't win the division. Yeah, Baltimore is keeping them

322
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: out on the top seed.

323
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: So they're gonna be on the road.

324
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Miami or Buffalo because Buffalo has the

325
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: identical record of Kansas City. And by the way, Kansas City,

326
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: we keep going back. They haven't clinched the division yet,

327
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: they have not, but I mean, come on, bro sleeve,

328
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: they've got you got the Bengals this week with that

329
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: same Jake Brown.

330
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: Closest team is the Raiders. As seven and eight to

331
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in the AFC West.

332
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: Is so bad it's garbage, just like it's like Aaron Rodgers.

333
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: This is how fortunate in this is how fortunate in

334
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: Kansas City. Is they finally, they finally are in a

335
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: place where they're vulnerable and they're the rest of their

336
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: division is suddenly turned to garbage, like even more hot,

337
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: steaming garbage. And it's been right over the last several years.

338
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: So Cleveland can get the one seed. If Baltimore drops

339
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: two games in a row at the end of the season,

340
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: they get beat by Miami, and then they get beat

341
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: by Miami, and now I gotta find find those jokers

342
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: if they get beat by Miami, and.

343
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: I will tell you. Our playoff experts are telling us

344
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: Cleveland can still take the Dealers.

345
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: So if yeah, so Baltimore gets beat by Pittsburgh and

346
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: Miami and Cleveland wins out, Cleveland could get the one seed.

347
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: So the one is still in play. It's interesting. Uh.

348
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: We want to transition though to the post practice podium

349
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: where Josh Allen is addressing the media. Let's go there.

350
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: Now, you saw a video of you with the kid,

351
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 5: the young boy in a How did that go out

352
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 5: for you?

353
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 6: How did you know about that?

354
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: Well?

355
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 7: I kept getting tagged in something. Which one are you

356
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 7: talking about though? The Oh yes, yeah, so I saw

357
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 7: I saw the video. I saw the video too, and

358
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 7: like obviously I remember being in that situation as a kid,

359
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 7: And I texted Kevin, I go, I send him the clip,

360
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 7: I go, can we get this kid's number? And Kevin

361
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 7: and our team worked hard to find whoever it was

362
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 7: and gave him a quick call and you know, that's

363
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 7: sometimes all it takes. And I then we're gonna send

364
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 7: him some some things and uh and whatnot. So it was, uh,

365
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 7: I'm glad I could do that. When I'm again, I'm

366
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 7: sorry for it happening.

367
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 3: On the field.

368
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 8: You can see the.

369
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Clip and when you guys hung up, he was like,

370
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: oh that was Josh Hallen.

371
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Kevin had told me he's the man.

372
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 8: How cool is that?

373
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: It's very cool?

374
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 7: Again, it didn't take much time, doesn't take much to

375
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 7: do something like that to make a kid's day or

376
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 7: to try to resolve a problem that happened. And you

377
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 7: know the fact is you can't make everybody happy. You know,

378
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 7: we got we've got things to do. And this even

379
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 7: goes back to like training and stuff. I wish I

380
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 7: could sit there and sign every single you know, autograph

381
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 7: and and and everything for these kids, but you know,

382
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 7: we get we got jobs to do, and sometimes that

383
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 7: that that happens.

384
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: But I'm just glad I can make it right.

385
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 8: How that game, how you guys won that game on offense?

386
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 8: Pulling together a last mind drive for a picture of

387
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 8: what did that? How validating was that given where this

388
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 8: team was and how you guys would try to run.

389
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 7: Down Yeah, I mean to to lose the turnover battle

390
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 7: three essentially three nothing. You know, it's something that we

391
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 7: got to clean up. And most teams in that situation

392
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 7: don't win that game. But you know, we got a

393
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 7: resilient group. Our defense played their their tails off and

394
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 7: gave us a chance there at the end. And then

395
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 7: also you saw at Oliver going in the game on

396
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 7: that last drive essentially, so would love to not be

397
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 7: in that situation, would love to put the game away earlier.

398
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 7: We had our options and we miss them early on

399
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 7: in the game. But again, to kind of be backs

400
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 7: against the wall, I think it was kind of a

401
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 7: microcosm of our season of what's going on right now,

402
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 7: you know, putting our best football in the field when

403
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 7: it matters the most.

404
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 8: And Sean said, as Josh goes, we usually work do.

405
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 8: We went through that whole though positive thing and the

406
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 8: energy thing, and I don't want to make a big

407
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 8: deal of that, but do you feel that you're wearing

408
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 8: your heart un your sleeve, your emotions a little bit

409
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 8: more now and if the team is following, get.

410
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 3: That sense maybe a little bit.

411
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 7: I'm just at the end of the day, I'm just

412
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 7: trying to be be me and that's that's all I

413
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 7: can to.

414
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 9: The tape from the first game against the Patriots and like,

415
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 9: how where the offense is now? Are there big differences

416
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 9: to stand out to you, like when like I guess

417
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 9: how much has this team and offense kind of and

418
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 9: you developed since that game?

419
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think we've grown as a group collectively,

420
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 7: you know, And I don't want to take credit away

421
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 7: from that. And their their their defense is playing at

422
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 7: a very high level. They got guys that are smart,

423
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 7: they can play multiple positions, they're rushing the pass, are

424
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 7: very well right now. And it's a Bill Belichick coach team.

425
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 7: So we we got to take that into account. And

426
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 7: you know the fact that we lost game one, I

427
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 7: think tells these guys like, we gotta we got to

428
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 7: put our best stuff out in the field or we're

429
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 7: not going to win this game. And you know, frankly,

430
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 7: it's a game that we need to win. And they

431
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 7: know that, we know that. You know, if if I'm

432
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 7: in the New England Patriots locker room, I'm looking to

433
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 7: to ruin their season and you know, an opponents playoff

434
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 7: hopes are on the line. Division rival, you know, so

435
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 7: they're gonna be ready to go. I can guarantee you that.

436
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 7: So that in turn makes us have to be ready

437
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 7: to go as well. And you know, with the guys

438
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 7: that we have in this locker room, you know very

439
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 7: little doubt that we.

440
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 3: We will be ready to go.

441
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 7: Well, we're gonna have to rely on our our veteran,

442
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 7: our vet leadership and at our coaching staff and put

443
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 7: together a good game plan, have a good week of practice,

444
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 7: but we got to be ready to go.

445
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 5: You are not on the same page as throughout a

446
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 5: game a few times here or there for this misconnection.

447
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 5: Take us through the conversations on the sidelines, which we

448
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: have two. Is it spoken at all? Do you talk

449
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 5: about anything you just kind of know that it's gonna happen.

450
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, we talked about it, and I think just having

451
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 7: that open line of communication, like on the deep shot

452
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 7: on the interception, you know, if I were just sat

453
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 7: in my feet and just chucked one up on them

454
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 7: run under it.

455
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: It's a different story right now.

456
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 7: So you know, we're we're just trying to win football

457
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 7: games at the end of the day, no matter how

458
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 7: we do it. And obviously we've we've paid more attention

459
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 7: to the run game. But you know it's it's stuff

460
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 7: on digs. You know, we got we got to get

461
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 7: him the ball. I got to get him the ball

462
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 7: and allow him to make plays for us. And uh,

463
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 7: you know, having done a great job of that in

464
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 7: the last few games. So looking forward to getting back

465
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 7: on track this week.

466
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: Said Joys.

467
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: A lot of different guys have stepped up in delivered

468
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: for you when you've needed them too.

469
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 3: I know the breaths are going to take you.

470
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: We're we're gonna throw the ball.

471
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 10: But does that make you guys more difficult to defend,

472
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 10: do you think going forward?

473
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: I think so.

474
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 7: And I think the game plan and with us for

475
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 7: a while was double fourteen and and make everybody else

476
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 7: beat you. And I think consistently guys have now shown

477
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 7: that they can step up and make those plays you

478
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 7: talk about, you know, gab in this last game, Dalton

479
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 7: and Dawson, you talked about Khalil Shaker, and then you

480
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 7: know James Cook coming out of the backfield too. So

481
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 7: I think it's it's to a point now where it's

482
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 7: I don't know how beneficial it is to double fourteen

483
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 7: because some of the other guys are making plays. So

484
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 7: you know, when we have our opportunities, we just gotta

485
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 7: we got to execute him. And I think it comes

486
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 7: down to whoever plays best on Sunday, and you know,

487
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 7: we gotta we got to put our best foot forward.

488
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 8: Cli how that group backpedaling, You've got two guys in

489
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 8: your face. Did you see him there?

490
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: I did?

491
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 3: I did.

492
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 7: Clil is the guy that's gonna be exactly where he

493
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 7: needs to be on every single play. He's extremely smart,

494
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 7: he's extremely reliable. I was just hoping that the safety

495
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 7: or the guy who's got went over the top of

496
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 7: the post, and thankfully he did allowed us to make

497
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 7: a play. And you know, we're one middlesecond away from

498
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 7: scoring to touch down there with his second effort, and

499
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 7: I know he got touched down barely the last second,

500
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 7: but allowed us to run out the clock there too

501
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 7: at the end.

502
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 11: Hey, you know, based on what we saw in college,

503
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 11: he was at a downfield field structure for for for them,

504
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 11: for Retak.

505
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: We haven't really seen much of.

506
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 11: That here which he hasn't been able to really made

507
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 11: those plays off hill. Is that something you guys need

508
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 11: to get incorporated into the offense and use him more

509
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 11: in that role.

510
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 7: Maybe, I mean, I'd love to Yeah, I'd love to

511
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 7: throw it downfield.

512
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: All of our guys.

513
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 7: You know, we understand that's part of his strengths and

514
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 7: you know, as a rookie and just coming in, learning

515
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 7: the game, learning our offense, and just finding more ways

516
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 7: to get him involved.

517
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's we want to utilize all of our

518
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 3: all of our guys' strengths.

519
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 7: And you know that's up to up to me and

520
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 7: the coaching staff and and figuring out what that is.

521
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: And you know, coaching.

522
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 7: Staff really to to who to put where on what

523
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 7: certain routes.

524
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: So again it's.

525
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 7: It's tough because you want to get everybody the ball,

526
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 7: but there's only one that one ball that goes around.

527
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 7: But definitely we'd love to see, you know, him especially

528
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 7: get downfield and make some place for us, and that

529
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 7: goes for all of our guys.

530
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 8: Really, basketball would have seen through fifteen games.

531
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 7: Whever I think just how smart he is, you know,

532
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 7: finding windows and zone, you know, using the defender's leverage

533
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 7: against him. And then again after every single play, if

534
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 7: you watch where the ball goes and then watch what

535
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 7: eighty six does after the ball goes there, he's running

536
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 7: to the ball, he's following, he's trying to spring it

537
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 7: extra blocks.

538
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: He plays football the right way.

539
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 7: And you know, when you have a guy that works hard,

540
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 7: he's smart, doesn't complain. He's going to find himself in

541
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 7: some pretty good opportune moments, and you know, I got

542
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 7: no doubt that he's going to make those plays for us.

543
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: All Right.

544
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,120

572
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: All right, enough, enough pleasantries, therm. How much angst was

573
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: there in the Thomas household when it was like nineteen

574
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: to twenty, you know, nineteen to twenty one or whatever

575
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: it was, and the Bills had to get the ball

576
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: down and.

577
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 6: Terrified, I mean it was.

578
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: They don't make it easy.

579
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 12: No, they don't make it easy. And I'm sitting there like,

580
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 12: come on, man, can we just we got this. I'm like,

581
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 12: we're gonna do it. We're gonna do it. Not another

582
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 12: moment in our history where right, you know Keenan down. Yeah,

583
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 12: we got enough of those, right, Yeah. Like you know what, No,

584
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 12: I was feeling, But I was like, you know what,

585
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 12: I don't feel it's bad, you know. I mean after

586
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 12: the Kelsey and Kansas City, you know, I was like

587
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 12: kind of even killer, I was like, all right, I

588
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 12: think we got this.

589
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I think.

590
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 12: Because you think about this these how many times as

591
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 12: it came down to this from them guys in the

592
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 12: last three or four years something like this, you know,

593
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 12: and well, but I'm just saying it's just mentally you

594
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 12: kind of figure like what bad could go wrong for us?

595
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 3: Right?

596
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: I think that's they've lost a number of games. They

597
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: always we always talk about they always lose games by

598
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: like one score and the sorry close and it's always

599
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: the quirkiest thing, like you know, the fumbled quarterback sneak

600
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: or fourth and eighteen where the defender has it all

601
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: over it and he helps the guy catch all the

602
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: hail Murray, the twelve men on the field. I mean,

603
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: let's go here with the music.

604
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 2: They're gonna reinvent it.

605
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's gonna be something. And listen that last, the

606
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: last lateral play. A couple of people are going, oh

607
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: my gosh, if that got to cut the wrong way,

608
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, we had nobody over there.

609
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: I was like, beside their own thirty. I wasn't terribly

610
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: sorry on that play.

611
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: You know. It's that kind of atmosphere where you think,

612
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: if we're gonna it's gonna be something new. Right, So

613
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: but they did, they hung on, they won it. Yeah,

614
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: and then three or four other games felt the right

615
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: way this week, and you go from eleventh two weeks

616
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: ago to fifth?

617
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 6: Is it Is it.

618
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 12: True that I think I heard somebody say that we

619
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 12: could possibly get the second seed.

620
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's still out there, because out there you would

621
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: you always need Miami to lose to Baltimore this week,

622
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: that could happen. It's in Baltimore again.

623
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 6: It's gonna happen.

624
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: And then you've got you're calling it, Okay, you gotta

625
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: beat New England, you gotta yeah, you gotta win out yeah,

626
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: oh New England's playoff game, Carol pretty much.

627
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I could have said it last week,

628
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 12: but you know what this is, Yeah, this is the

629
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 12: this is the Wildcord game.

630
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 3: Right.

631
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: Coming out of the Chargers game Theorem, there was some

632
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: outside observer criticism that the Bills stuck with the run

633
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: game too much and didn't put the ball in Josh's

634
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: hands enough because the run in the past was pretty

635
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: much dead even I think it was twenty to twenty

636
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: or twenty to twenty one. Josh only had about twenty

637
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 2: one pass attempts and they ran a twenty something times.

638
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: Based on how that game looked, do you think that

639
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: criticism is justified.

640
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 6: I think it's justified a little bit.

641
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: So Josh should handle the ball more to determine the

642
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: outcoming again, well, and especially when we were downtown right.

643
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 13: Nothing, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want it. I want the

644
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 13: ball in this Yeah. Hey, the running game was great

645
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 13: last week.

646
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 12: I mean, Cook finished with what seventy yards of a

647
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 12: twenty carries probably should have had.

648
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: They were ready for that tackle pull play. Yeah, the

649
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: Chargers were very ready for that, so you know, had

650
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: an answer for it.

651
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 12: So yeah, if his carriage would have went down to

652
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 12: ten to eleven instead of twenty, I'd.

653
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 6: Have been fine with that.

654
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think yeah.

655
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: It.

656
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 12: You know, we fell in love with it for one week, right,

657
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 12: and we thought that Okay, it's going to be totally

658
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 12: different right.

659
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: Also too, it might have been a much different outcome

660
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: had you not had a fumbled punt, if they wouldn't

661
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: have fumbled the one run and then Josh tain threw.

662
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: You know, if your minus three on the on the

663
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: on the turnover margin, that game plan probably would not

664
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: have had the close ending that it would have had

665
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: you not turned it over three times, which has nothing

666
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: to do with running the football. In fact, it seems

667
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: you'd be safer running the football, but you coughed it

668
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: up twice, lost one of them, and then fumbled a

669
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 1: punt or muffed a punt at the other end, and

670
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: Josh you're an interception. All of that stuff goes into

671
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: it as well. So I don't know that the outcome

672
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: being as close as it was had as much to

673
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: do with the running the ball or throwing the ball

674
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: as it did turning the ball over.

675
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I thought at the beginning of the

676
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 12: game it looked like they were trying to like the

677
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 12: force to run, like we're gonna get it done, We're

678
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 12: gonna get it, we're gonna get it working like we

679
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 12: did last week, and obviously with the Chargers having game

680
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 12: film on that and seeing that they're like and they

681
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 12: got a pretty stout front four I mean we were

682
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 12: sometimes running at Mac and that got destroyed. We were

683
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 12: running away from Parsons last week or two weeks ago.

684
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 6: That was great.

685
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 12: And even when they ran toward him, means a little guy,

686
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 12: you put a three hundred pounds on him.

687
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 6: You're you're gonna get movement.

688
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 12: If your tackles are you know, Spencer Brown and Dean Darkins,

689
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 12: You're gonna get movement.

690
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 6: And that creates space.

691
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 12: So different, different type of four man front here we're

692
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 12: talking about the Chargers.

693
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: And it's different again this week, I got a Patriots

694
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: defense that plays a fair amount of fit fifty front

695
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 2: and they're also the number two run defense in football.

696
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is a group that like

697
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: stopping the run game. What was your what do you

698
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: remember what your guys approach typically was when you're kind

699
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 2: of facing that fifty front, Like, what what typically did

700
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 2: you like working against that with?

701
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 6: I think it was most of it.

702
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 12: I think it was a combination of maybe who was

703
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 12: on the outside. Okay, like if it was Jason Taylor,

704
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 12: well you know what, probably more run at him more

705
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 12: than anything.

706
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because there's law right two thirty.

707
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, if it's Lawrence Taylor, I'm probably gonna you know,

708
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 12: if it's Lawrence Taylor, Pepper Johnson or Harry.

709
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 13: Carter is like pick your medicine.

710
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 6: Do you want to go inside or do you want

711
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 6: to go out?

712
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: Good luck?

713
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 6: Good luck with that, right.

714
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 12: Okay, let's see if Carl Base can catch a screen

715
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 12: or something, you know.

716
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's it's.

717
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 12: Different, but it's it's different with every football team, and

718
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 12: I just I just think that's kind of way that

719
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 12: you have to look at it is. Yeah, different runs

720
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 12: for different packages and Gower's work.

721
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: Best you come into this game. You're gonna be at

722
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: home last one o'clock, well at least first one o'clock

723
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: game they've had in a long time since week six,

724
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 1: yes since for two months back here at the stadium

725
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: against New England week four. Now that I'm brings them,

726
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 1: brings like a lot of scar tissue for this team,

727
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, because you know they they've ruined the party

728
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 1: a bunch well even though they are two and twelve.

729
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: But don't forget wherever they are, the Bills ruined their

730
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: party last year. They eliminated them from the playoffs. In

731
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 2: the nahem Heinz Krick return game, Patriots were still alive

732
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 2: for the postseason, but by the by virtue of that

733
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: loss against the Bills, they knocked them out. Right, I

734
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: gotta be thinking they're thinking that coming in here, right, Like,

735
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: I know it's a year ago and the team's changed

736
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: a little bit, but yeah, Belichick's probably bringing that up

737
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: this week.

738
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm probably if I'm if I'm the Patriots, yes

739
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 12: you have Belichick, it's gonna come up with a wrinkle

740
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 12: or whatever. But I think this is where we talked

741
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 12: about earlier. Josh's gonna handle the ball. He's going to

742
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 12: handle the ball a lot.

743
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: They made to the last three who Patriots. They beat

744
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers, they lost to the Chiefs, Okay, go ahead, Yeah, and.

745
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: They beat the Broncos.

746
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: They won in Pittsburgh, and they won in Denver. And

747
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: they lost by ten to the Chiefs at home. So

748
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: they got the Bills and the Jets coming up, two

749
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: teams they know better than anybody. I worry about this game.

750
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: I worry about this game more than I worry about

751
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: the Miami game. Because Miami, Josh just puts the cape

752
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: on and Miami goes away. You know, Josh owns those dudes. Okay,

753
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: they just play well. It's it's just the opposite of

754
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: what the New England Buffalo game is. It's the opposite

755
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: of that.

756
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 2: Is that because of is that because of how the

757
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 2: Week seven game went that you're worried now.

758
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 4: Because a little bit, because they've shown the Bills have

759
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 4: the Bills have done pretty good against the Patriots.

760
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 6: I'm thinking a Bill.

761
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he got to. I mean they're three

762
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: and fourteen, four and eleven, four and eleven, Okay, they're

763
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: four and eleven.

764
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: Well, one of those wins is against the Bills, so

765
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: I understand why you're a little concern.

766
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: And the other win is one of the other wins

767
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: against the Jets, and the other win, you know, so

768
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: they have yet they.

769
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 6: What are you looking at?

770
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: It are you're looking back at the stats for the

771
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: Bills Bill's Patriots game twenty five to twenty nine, Patriots

772
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: win at home.

773
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 2: Steven second touchdown in Kasiki.

774
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: They had sixty eighty like one hundred yards right out,

775
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing. Mag had his best game, Mac

776
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: had two seventy two to two touchdowns.

777
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 6: Best games.

778
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't bench him after that game. Yeah, and

779
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: you know Kendrick Bourne had six for sixty three, but

780
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: he's out. Rimandre had six for fifty one.

781
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: He's been out of the lineup my bills at this time.

782
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 6: Now, you're trying to worry me, you really are. I

783
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 6: don't think there's nothing to work.

784
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: Get on the worry.

785
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 13: I really don't think there's nothing to worry about.

786
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 12: I mean, we just we gave him the three hundred victory,

787
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 12: So that's enough right there. The last time we played

788
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 12: up there and they be that was his three hundred victory.

789
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: Right I remember that?

790
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 12: Yeah, Yeah, Well I'm upset that we gave him. Let's

791
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 12: give him another loss because he's up there and losses

792
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 12: now too.

793
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 6: Givehim another loss.

794
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: So, oh, he's closer to the he's closer to the

795
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: Great Mortals all time loss record.

796
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 13: I am, yeah, I don't.

797
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, Josh's gotta beat the man in this game unless

798
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 12: somehow we find that we can run the ball. But

799
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 12: I think Josh has to be more effective right away

800
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 12: instead of doing maybe running two plays, run plays and

801
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 12: then laving.

802
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 6: Josh throwing three.

803
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 12: And I think you go with the you go with

804
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 12: Josh Allen the first, probably twelve plays.

805
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you this. The last few weeks,

806
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: there has been a different player in the passing game

807
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: kind of stepping up and delivering plays. It hasn't been

808
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,959
Speaker 2: Steph Diggs and everybody else for a while now. And

809
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: some people see that as troubling because their number one

810
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 2: receiver can't be productive. Other people see it as this

811
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: is a more difficult Bill's offense to defend because you

812
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: don't know who's stepping up this week. Do you think

813
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 2: there's any validity to that? Do you think they are

814
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: more difficult to defend because there's a different guy every

815
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 2: week It's Kincaid, this week, it's Gabe Davis, last week

816
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 2: it's James Cook two weeks ago. How do you defend

817
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 2: this offense?

818
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 12: Who does that remind you of a similar team? I'll

819
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 12: just tell you the Giants, Okay, it reminds you of

820
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 12: the Giants and how they went with I mean, who

821
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 12: to Mario Manahan one week?

822
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, Eli, yeah, the.

823
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 12: Crews, Victor Cruz, Victor Cruz. It was always a different guy.

824
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 12: And then Boom who made a touchdown but.

825
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 6: I can't remember his name. Now receive for number seventeen.

826
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: You're talking about the Super Bowl now, yeah, super Bowl Plexico, plexico.

827
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 13: Right, Yeah, they had guys.

828
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 6: They did it every week. They did it every week.

829
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 12: Now, Hey, I want Stephane to get take catch of

830
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 12: the game because I like the way you play. I

831
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 12: like the way he perform him is aggressive. He's he's him, right, yeah,

832
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 12: he's him. So yeah, I think it's great that you

833
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 12: can put more on film now to see. But I think, yeah,

834
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 12: sooner or later, he has to pop out of his

835
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 12: slump or whatever you want to call it.

836
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: The all time losing his head coaches in the NFL

837
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: for yeah, yeah, tom uh No, it's Dan Reeves. He

838
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: was one hundred and ninety and one hundred and sixty

839
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: five and Jeff Fisher was one hundred and seventy three

840
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: and one hundred and sixty five, one hundred and sixty

841
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: five losses. Bill Belichick has won sixty three.

842
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 6: Well, he need to have one sixty four.

843
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: He could set it this season if he loses out, Oh, tell.

844
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 6: It to the Bills.

845
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 12: Well, tell it to the Bills, and tell it to

846
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 12: whoever they played the following week, the Jets.

847
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: The Jets.

848
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, whose streak against the Jets is still alive. It's

849
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 2: fifteen in a row. Jets still haven't that streak. It's

850
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: the longest active losing streak in the league. I don't know,

851
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: I can't remember. And Zach Wilson is not back. He's

852
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: still in concussion protocol. Trevor Simmons is supposed to start

853
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: this week again. Gotta take a break here when we

854
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 2: come back, more on Bill's Patriots here moving forward, and

855
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 2: we'll get some thoughts from Thurman on his initial impressions

856
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 2: of Leonard Fournette, who got his first action in a

857
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: Bill's uniform. When we return here on One Bill's Live

867
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 6: It's not the playoffs yet.

868
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: Okay, he's playoff Lenny.

869
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 13: I mean he's gonna need more.

870
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 2: It was not in playoff form, No, I don't think so.

871
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 12: I mean, I know he's been played all year. Yeah,

872
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 12: he hadn't played on He's been here for what too much?

873
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 14: Now?

874
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 6: Yeah?

875
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, just hey, look, I mean Cook has been.

876
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 12: Playing well, Murray's been playing well, you know what, Just

877
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 12: continue to let him get his reps, you know, with

878
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 12: the scout team or regular offense or whatever. So yeah,

879
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 12: I mean there was really the same with there was

880
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 12: really nowhere to run last week if you don't know

881
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 12: where to run.

882
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: The most successful runs they had with the two touchdowns

883
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: by josh one on a on a that power tackle

884
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: pull and then the quarterback sneak. So yeah, I was interested.

885
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: I and I we were talking about this in the break.

886
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: I think the one thing they've got to do with

887
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: Fournette if they want a crescendo at the right time

888
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: to get into the tournament postseason. I do believe he

889
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: needs some reps in game. I think he got Steve Yeah,

890
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what. I don't know how

891
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson is.

892
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 2: I like John Johnson limited in practice today, we'll see

893
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: what it is.

894
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: If you're gonna have Fournette up, get him ready and

895
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: get some game reps so he you know he's ready,

896
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, and give him some plays.

897
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 6: Give him.

898
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, he can have success set, you know, not just

899
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 12: and I pounding right between the.

900
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 13: Guards all the time.

901
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: Maybe Joe Brady's doing this. I don't know, but we've

902
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 1: seen we've seen this coaching staff, Like when a guy

903
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: comes down and he put another guy in, and it's natural,

904
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: let's put let's let's run the plays that we were

905
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: running the other guy because they were working. Let's let

906
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: this this guy run him. And what's a better way

907
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: to do it is like this guy likes these others

908
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: better at doing other run the run the new guy's

909
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: players right right, give him a role that fits him

910
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: instead of trying to fit a guy into the guy

911
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: they replaced. Roll around right. So I don't know if

912
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: they're doing that, I and particularly I'm sure they didn't

913
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: go in there thinking Leonard Fournette's going to carry it

914
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: fifteen times twenty times. But still, and let's face it

915
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: two that the offense has been rolling a little bit

916
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: and they've got these this run game that's working. They

917
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: probably didn't want to mess with it too much. Despite

918
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: who was carrying them.

919
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 13: Was Yeah, Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, he was

920
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 13: the game.

921
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 12: Wouldn't expect would he get five carris for twenty yards?

922
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 6: Yea handler, A guy that hasn't been.

923
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: He had a long of nine. But yeah, it was.

924
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: He did not just go out there and fall down.

925
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He ran hard and was productive.

926
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 12: Yet know how Tie is I think you I mean,

927
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 12: I don't know if you see more of him, but

928
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 12: he's going to be.

929
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: That guy as long as I have no problem, I.

930
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 13: Have no problem with I'm I'm glad he's here. Glad

931
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 13: he's here.

932
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 12: He's a really solid year this year. Backing up, backing

933
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 12: up James Cook. So yeah, I'm hey, it's the running

934
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 12: back group, baby. If we can touch the ball anytime

935
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 12: and let us know.

936
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of running backs, since Bailey Zappy, he's been

937
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: in the lineup. Zeke Kelly has been catching a lot

938
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: of passes out of the backfield. He's you know, he'll

939
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: play pretty conservatively between the twenties ZAPPI will and he

940
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 2: utilizes the tight ends and the backs an awful lot

941
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: in the passing game. Zeke's catching a lot of balls

942
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: since Zappi's been in the lineup. Also, let's not forget

943
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: Steven since been injured, but he's been using his backs

944
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 2: a lot in the past game and he uses his

945
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 2: tight ends a ton in the red zone and the

946
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: Bills actually lost the game to a tight end pass

947
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: in the red zone Mike Kisiki on the last play

948
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 2: of the game. So talk to me. I mean, we

949
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 2: all know you your fair share out of the backfield.

950
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: How do you how did teams try to defend you,

951
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 2: knowing how often you they turned to you.

952
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 6: To do that?

953
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 13: Uh, how often they try to defend me?

954
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: What would they use against you?

955
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 12: Usually because yeah, yeah, well you can't do that. Usually

956
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 12: put a defensive back on me, yeah yeah. Or sometime

957
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 12: it was the it was a strong safety. Yeah, you know,

958
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 12: if we're playing like a particular team like okay, if

959
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 12: we're playing the Dolphins, you know, I would love it

960
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 12: they put uh Lewis Oliver on me. Yeah, but they

961
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 12: put Jarvis Williams on me, so yeah, they'll bring the

962
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 12: bringing the strong safety down, which he was, and uh

963
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 12: yeah that are you know, sometimes.

964
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 6: It was a linebacker.

965
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 12: It all depends on who the linebacker was if you

966
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 12: had like a Cornelia's better, Yeah, I gotta go against

967
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 12: Cornelia Milano.

968
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly so.

969
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 12: But yeah, but you bring in that fifth or sometimes

970
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 12: even six defensive back.

971
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 2: The Patriots play three safeties a lot.

972
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 12: Yeah, so and and and and just hearing that stat

973
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 12: about them being number two rush defense, that it goes

974
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 12: a long way when you're talking and you put it

975
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 12: in terms of who they're substituting in how.

976
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 6: Many guys they come.

977
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 12: I mean, could Dail Peppers is probably having his best career,

978
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 12: best year ever, and you know he's been in the

979
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 12: league for seven or eight years, but he's with this

980
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 12: Belichick type defense and he knows it very well and

981
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 12: he plays it very well.

982
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 6: So they could cause it. They could go out. Problem.

983
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: Well, their defense is good. I mean there's no forget

984
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: their record. Their defense can play against anybody. The problem

985
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 1: is they have trouble scoring points. Yes, and that last

986
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: that is really that's the crux of their issues.

987
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

988
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Defensively, it's an offensive league.

989
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: Defensively, nothing has changed for them. They try to win

990
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: on first and second down, they get exotic on third down,

991
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you're off the field, and

992
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 2: the Bills experienced that in the meeting up there back

993
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: week seven. Yeah, they couldn't get their offense out of

994
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 2: neutral until later in the game.

995
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, And I think if you get into it, if

996
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 12: we get in, if we get into get.

997
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 6: On a fast start.

998
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 12: I mean, I mean, if we're up fourteen nothing, it

999
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 12: changes the whole complex because he's not going to throw

1000
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 12: it now, you know, but it all falls on us.

1001
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 12: I think we got to have a fast start. We

1002
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 12: got to have a fast start. No, no turnover. I

1003
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 12: think that's probably gonna be the key if it's I

1004
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 12: think it's supposed.

1005
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: To be rain interception on the first play of the

1006
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 2: game the last time.

1007
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, the game, which was not the only time he

1008
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: did that, so yeah, maybe not the first play of

1009
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: the game, but first series.

1010
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the builds are down ten nothing before they

1011
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 2: knew it.

1012
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: Right, you're a new England.

1013
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 6: The crowd's gonna be electric.

1014
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it'll be a little bit different because of

1015
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: that atmosphere. But yeah, you can't turn it, overturn the Chargers.

1016
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: The turnovers and the Charger game with the difference, Josh

1017
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 1: had one and there were two others. So and they

1018
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: escaped I think that's a much different game. If not,

1019
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: if they're even on the turnover margin, so correct, we'll

1020
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: see how and it's gonna be the same story this weekend.

1021
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 2: All right, So theirm Each week it's as I mentioned,

1022
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: it's been a different guy stepping up on offense. HM,

1023
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 2: whose turn is it this week? Do you think against

1024
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 2: the Patriots?

1025
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 6: I don't know. I think it might be Steph.

1026
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I think it might be streakout week.

1027
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 6: I think it might be his breakout week.

1028
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, all right, I think it's going to be Steph.

1029
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 12: I think you know, we've we've seen him the last

1030
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 12: what four or five weeks, and it's always been somebody else.

1031
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's had a role, it.

1032
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 12: Just hasn't been the primary role. So yeah, you know what,

1033
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 12: maybe maybe he's hurting the little I don't but they

1034
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 12: will put that on the injury report or whatever. But

1035
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 12: you know what, sometimes you know, you go in these

1036
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 12: valleys man, sometimes. So I think Steph will come out.

1037
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 12: I think Steph is think you will have a great game.

1038
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 2: I like that pick. If you're right.

1039
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's for his season. He's got ninety

1040
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: six catches for one thousand and seventy and it's been yeah,

1041
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: and it's been notable. His absence has been notable for

1042
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: like a month, Yeah, which is amazing. He got to

1043
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,480

1044
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:05,879

1045

1141
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 14: we were just too one to mention it was either Diggs,

1142
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 14: Josh Allen or nothing. And I just I want to

1143
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 14: see Gave Davis keep his foot on the gas. He

1144
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 14: had a really good game and that's that's what I

1145
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 14: want to see again. This week is a big game

1146
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 14: from Gave Davis. Maybe, you know, if he gets if

1147
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 14: he gets going and he starts attracting some double coverage,

1148
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 14: I mean, look out for Diggs in the playoffs.

1149
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 16: But that's what I want to see.

1150
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 14: Im what happened.

1151
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 16: Listen, Well, you guys have a great day.

1152
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 2: Thanks all right, Yeah, thanks, I get what you're saying.

1153
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 2: You like the diversity or the diversification of the offense

1154
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:49,479
Speaker 2: by virtue of who is delivering in it. And yeah,

1155
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 2: to me, I think that's a good thing too. I

1156
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: actually asked Josh that question today, I said, do you

1157
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 2: think it makes it more difficult to key on certain

1158
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 2: people and defend you, you know, as an offense, And

1159
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 2: he was of the opinion that it did. He thinks

1160
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 2: it does make them more difficult to defend.

1161
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: My question is, and I can't really ask Thurman this

1162
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 1: when he was in here, was it Does it make

1163
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 1: it harder to be successful when you're trying to spread

1164
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: it around all these different guys? Do you have to

1165
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: develop or do you have to come up with plays

1166
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: that focus on different guys and therefore we have to

1167
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: practice all this stuff? And then, you know what I mean,

1168
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: does it make it more difficult to be successful when

1169
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: you're trying to get more guys involved? Because let's face it,

1170
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: when you know, when Josh puts the cape on, nobody

1171
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: else has to even show up to the team bus, right,

1172
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh you know, goes out, drops back, pulls

1173
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: it down, runs for a touchdown. You know that's that's

1174
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: not difficulty, you know what I mean? So does it

1175
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: is it too many hoops to jump through to believe

1176
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: that the team's going to be able to keep it

1177
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: going and by by getting all these guys involved, or

1178
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: is it are they getting more guys involved because the

1179
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: guys that we depend on, like Steph Diggs or Dalton

1180
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: Kincaid or Jaw whoever, have slacked fallen away, you know

1181
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: what I mean. Have they cease to be as effective

1182
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: or are teams defending them better? I don't know. We'll see,

1183
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: but no question about it, this offense looks vastly different

1184
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: with Joe Brady calling the plays.

1185
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 2: It does. I think that's safe to say. And yeah,

1186
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 2: maybe all this attention or should I say production by

1187
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 2: other guys makes it eventually come back around to Diggs, right,

1188
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 2: you know, because Gaye puts up one hundred and thirty

1189
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 2: Oh wow, we can't ignore that guy. You know, Cook

1190
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: rolls up two hundred and twenty one all purpose yards.

1191
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: Oh boy, we got to account for that guy. And

1192
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 2: now maybe some attention gets pulled away from Digs. Do

1193
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 2: I think that's gonna happen? Probably not, but maybe on

1194
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 2: a given play in a given series, it does, you know,

1195
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 2: and he can victimize them.

1196
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: Thinking about the Patriots, I mean, this may be a

1197
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: game where they say, all right, you can if you're

1198
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: gonna beat us. We'll see if Gabe Davis can put

1199
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: two weeks together I don't think he can.

1200
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 2: Sure, I guess they could say.

1201
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand that if you're gonna beat us

1202
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: with Gabe Davis bless your heart, go ahead, but James

1203
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: Cook and to Steph diggsing and beat us.

1204
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 2: Just to give you an idea on how much the

1205
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 2: Patriots have changed, we already know they have a different

1206
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 2: guys starting a quarterback in Bailey Zappi, but Kendrick Bourne's

1207
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 2: out for the year. He's on ir so Taykwon Thornton

1208
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: is a starting wide receiver. We know Robondre Stevenson's been

1209
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 2: out with injury. We'll see what his status is for

1210
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 2: this week's game and whether he's able to return. Keon White,

1211
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 2: their second round draft pick who's a defensive end, is

1212
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 2: now a starter for them. And you know who's starting

1213
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 2: at corner for the New England Patriots. Who former Bill

1214
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 2: seventh round draft choice Alex Austen. You remember they had

1215
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: him on the practice squad. He got claimed by the

1216
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. He was on their active roster for a while.

1217
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 2: He's bounced around. He's not only on the Patriots roster,

1218
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 2: he is starting for them at outside corner opposite Jonathan

1219
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 2: Jones right.

1220
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Now, bless his heart. Well, you know I mean it. Yeah,

1221
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: he was in camp.

1222
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Yes, and he was on He didn't make the active roster,

1223
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 2: but he was put on the practice squad, and then

1224
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 2: somebody plucked him off the Bill's practice squad put him

1225
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 2: on their active roster. I believe it was Houston at

1226
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 2: the start of the season. So he's bounced around a

1227
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 2: little bit. But here he is on a Patriots roster

1228
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: and he's starting. So just give you an idea on

1229
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Alex Austin isn't a worthy player, but

1230
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 2: most seventh round draft choices aren't starting their rookie season

1231
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 2: on an NFL club, right he is in New England.

1232
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 2: Just to kind of paint the picture a little bit.

1233
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there is there injury report out.

1234
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if it's out yet. I

1235
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 2: think it's a check.

1236
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's out.

1237
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go back to the phones and to Liz

1238
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 2: in Buffalo. What do you offer us, Liz, Hi.

1239
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 18: Gentlemen, Happy New Year to both of you. Maturely perhaps,

1240
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 18: but I had a thought this morning, wouldn't it be

1241
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 18: great if we it was time for a repeat performance?

1242
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 18: Of the perfect game. After all, we had one against

1243
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 18: the Patch playoff time in twenty two.

1244
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 2: I would welcome it with open arms, Liz, I don't

1245
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 2: know that I'm wholly confident that the same ingredients are

1246
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 2: there to make it happen bad. You never know.

1247
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: The Patriots defense just a little bit different, playing a

1248
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: little bit different than it did.

1249
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 2: Then they're better.

1250
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: Now they're better. Their offense isn't Their offense is probably

1251
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: not as good, but it worse. It would be really

1252
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: difficult to put together that kind of performance offensively against

1253
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots against this defense.

1254
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 2: And one of the main reasons why is because of

1255
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 2: what defenses in the league are doing. They're playing high cover,

1256
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 2: two shell or quarters defense to keep everything in front

1257
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 2: of them and force teams to nickel and dime their

1258
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 2: way down the field. On ten and twelve play drives,

1259
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 2: they challenge you to have solid execution without any mistakes,

1260
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 2: be it execution mistakes or penalties, to go score points.

1261
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: And then you know, they tighten up in the red zone,

1262
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 2: as the Patriots always do, and try to force you

1263
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 2: to kick field goals and hope they can score enough

1264
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 2: points and beat you that way. They were able to

1265
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 2: do that back in Week seven to a certain extent,

1266
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 2: and because most NFL defenses are playing the better quarterbacks

1267
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 2: in the league, that way scoring is down. You don't

1268
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 2: see teams hanging forty seven on people the way the

1269
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 2: Bills did in that playoff game.

1270
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Right, I mean it happened earlier this season when in

1271
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, now the defenses are you know,

1272
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: they elevate and I'll tell you this too, it's something

1273
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: to remember for them. We should write this on the whiteboard.

1274
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Early in this season, you saw that, you know, the

1275
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins were hanging points, the Bills were hanging points on

1276
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: people in the first month of six weeks of the season.

1277
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: But defenses kind of caught Nobody tackles until the season

1278
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: gets here, right, so they start to get used to

1279
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: doing it and get physicality, and it takes. And I

1280
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: think there's some symptoms there about the way the league

1281
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: is run in the off season and how training camps

1282
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: are run, newer practices. It takes defenses a while to

1283
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: get their legs under the case in point. One of

1284
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: the major cases in point would be the Denver Broncos.

1285
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: They were retired. They were horrible, historically horrible. They gave

1286
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: up they're the ones that gave up seventy to the Dolphins. Well,

1287
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: now at this end of the season, they're actually pretty

1288
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: good defensively, and they got good really quick. But it

1289
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: took a little bit of time. So I we should,

1290
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, think about that as the season rolls out

1291
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: next year and when, because we have really seen defenses

1292
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: evolve quickly during the season. Certainly the Bills did when

1293
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: they had they lost the middle of their defense to

1294
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,919
Speaker 1: injury and they had to kind of on the fly

1295
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: reinvent themselves. It took them a while.

1296
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it looks like now based on how some

1297
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: of the games have ended the last few weeks, that

1298
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 2: they've recalibrated.

1299
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've gotten They've they've shut out teams, laid in games,

1300
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: not let them come back, that kind of thing, you know,

1301
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: because they struggled to close that door in the first

1302
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: half of the season when they lost all those guys.

1303
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Remember Josh was giving them the lead with two minutes left.

1304
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: They just they couldn't call the defenses they wanted to.

1305
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: When they did call them, they got nicked and they

1306
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: couldn't close those games out inside two minutes. And all

1307
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: they needed was a field goal or if they needed

1308
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: to touch it, whatever it was, they got a score

1309
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: to win the game. For the six losses this year

1310
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,479
Speaker 1: have been on those kind of scenarios for the Bills.

1311
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: So you think, you know, the injuries to their defense

1312
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: were huge in where they sit now in the standings,

1313
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: But overall, big picture, it's something to think about how

1314
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: these defenses around the league really morphed from you know, mistackles,

1315
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: poor tackling, mised assignments, bad you know, bad angles, all

1316
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: kinds of defensive miss cues. Now those have all been

1317
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: cleaned up as the season is worn on and you're

1318
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: getting some pretty good defenses again.

1319
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 2: Let's jump back on the phone lines and go to

1320
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 2: Mike and Alden next. What do you got Mike?

1321
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 16: Hey, how's it going guys? I just want to touch

1322
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 16: on something quick.

1323
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

1324
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 16: The other day I heard I think I might have

1325
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 16: been you know, he had brought up I mean a

1326
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 16: lot of people are questioning and you know, why where's Diggs?

1327
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 16: Where's Diggs? And Uh, to me, it's a it's a

1328
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 16: pretty simple answer. I mean from what Joe Brady said.

1329
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 16: He said that each and every great every before regain,

1330
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 16: he he looks with each team and finds quote unquote

1331
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 16: where's Waldough Meaning where is the weakest link in this team?

1332
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 16: And I think that has a lot to do with

1333
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 16: why you're seeing Davis one week and James Cook running

1334
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 16: his his tail off the next week. Like, I think

1335
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 16: that has a lot to do with it. And if

1336
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,959
Speaker 16: that's the case, then maybe this week we can see

1337
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 16: a little bit of Andy Isabella to see what you

1338
01:05:58,520 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 16: guys think about that.

1339
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think the only reason we saw

1340
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 2: Leonard Fournette was because Ty Johnson was heard. I think

1341
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 2: there was one exception where we saw Andy Isabella where

1342
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 2: there really weren't too many injuries at the receiver position.

1343
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 2: There's more of a special teams considered well that too,

1344
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I just kind of see Andy

1345
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 2: and I like Andy. Don't get me wrong, but I

1346
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 2: kind of think the coaching staff sees him as an

1347
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 2: insurance policy in much the same way they see Leonard

1348
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 2: Fournette as an insurance policy for their offensive backfield. I

1349
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 2: don't know if they're ready to craft a game plan

1350
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 2: or even a specific package of plays for Isabella. I

1351
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 2: could be wrong, Maybe it happens this week, who knows,

1352
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: But I kind of view Fournette and Isabella as insurance

1353
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 2: policies of depth for this roster, not primary pieces to

1354
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 2: exploit an opposing defense. Does that make sense?

1355
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I think it's I've seen something floating around

1356
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 1: on my timeline a little bit about the thing called

1357
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Hawkum's razor, which is when you're look into something you

1358
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: can't figure out what's going on, the simplest solution is

1359
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: probably the one that's the most accurate. And I think

1360
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: with this offense, the way it's looking with the Bills,

1361
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: I think what you said, Mike from Olden is probably right.

1362
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: You just look for the weakest link, and wherever that

1363
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 1: guy is, that's where you're gonna go with the fee.

1364
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 2: And that's how Joe Brady often crafts his game plan.

1365
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so you got Josh back there, and you're

1366
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,919
Speaker 1: looking for a guy, and whoever happens to be lined

1367
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: up on the guy gets the ball, and the defense

1368
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: just dictates who they're matched up against. So this last week,

1369
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Gabe Davis is the guy.

1370
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 2: Because Michael Davis was the target, the corner who was

1371
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 2: a backup playing on you know, your quote unquote number

1372
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:46,919
Speaker 2: two outside receiver.

1373
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the way it goes, and what will happen

1374
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: this week may decide that. Now a team like New England,

1375
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: may anybody may do this. They the defense has listen,

1376
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:00,919
Speaker 1: they're finding our guy out of it, so let's put

1377
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: him somewhere different every and give him some help so

1378
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: he's not alone. So they'll do that. If they think

1379
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: a guy's getting picked on, they'll hide their defender as

1380
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: well or give the guy some help make it easy

1381
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: on him. So there's that part of the equation too.

1382
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: And then you got to look off that guy because

1383
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 1: he is covered even though he's on your week, their

1384
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: weakest defender, and somebody else has to win. It's just

1385
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: that simple.

1386
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 8: Yep.

1387
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: Somebody else has to win. And that's when you start

1388
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: spreading it around the other direction, giving him back to

1389
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: Diggs and back to Gabe Davis and back to James Cook.

1390
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jim in Rochester next. What's up Jim, guys.

1391
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 19: Pretty good timing because I was thinking to going the

1392
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 19: opposite way, Like you're talking who's who's playing?

1393
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 7: Who?

1394
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 16: Who's the match up? To me?

1395
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,600
Speaker 19: I know you remembers a couple of years, think it

1396
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 19: was two maybe three miles Bryant. I think we got

1397
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 19: to go against Miles Bryant, so I'm assuming that Shakir

1398
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 19: would probably be the one always go against. It was

1399
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,640
Speaker 19: a Mackenzie a couple of years ago, I think had

1400
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,839
Speaker 19: eleven kenches against the Miles Bryant. But to me, that's

1401
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 19: that's the matchup because I watched Bryant last week and

1402
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 19: he's still he's not. I don't know why he's still.

1403
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: He hasn't gotten any better. Yeah, well that's a good point.

1404
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 2: That's a good point, Jim and I, you know, I

1405
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 2: that's valid. That's a valid point. You know, you're you're

1406
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 2: always looking for mismatches. It's a matchup league, as we

1407
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 2: say all the time, and Brian has had his share

1408
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: of troubles with Bills receivers and receivers for other teams

1409
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 2: quite frankly. Right, So yeah, that that could be a

1410
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 2: problem matchup for the Patriots absolutely.

1411
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And yeah, it remains to be seen with how

1412
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 1: the Bills view the Patriots defense. We don't know. They

1413
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: may come in thinking, you know what, we may be

1414
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: able to run against these guys if we tweak our

1415
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: scheme up front just a hair, and we'll have a

1416
01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 1: chance we'll see or may be that, you know what,

1417
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 1: this is a josh game. We're gonna put them. We're

1418
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 1: gonna probably throw this end up throwing this football about

1419
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: thirty five times this week, that kind of thing. But

1420
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots are really good defense, really good. The one

1421
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: thing that I would hate to see is for us

1422
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,719
Speaker 1: to turn it over a bunch like we did against

1423
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: New England, I mean against La Chargers.

1424
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 2: Well they did turn it over against New England too

1425
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 2: to that degree.

1426
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: But like those are crush the turnovers are crushers.

1427
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 2: So they're equalizers for teams that are not as good

1428
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 2: as you very much, so very much as we saw

1429
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 2: last week and as we saw in the first game

1430
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 2: against New England. Let's go to Mark in West senecon X.

1431
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 20: What's up, Mark, very new your guys, Yeah, Hey, I

1432
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:46,600
Speaker 20: got a comment. I want to answer your question, and

1433
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 20: then I got a compliment for your brownie. Uh, if

1434
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 20: you'll allow me. As far as the game goes, I'm

1435
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:57,520
Speaker 20: looking for our tight ends to step up, but primarily

1436
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 20: out of eleven personnel, I'm looking for the to maybe

1437
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 20: have a combined over one hundred yards and receiving maybe

1438
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 20: each have a touchdown in the red zone and along

1439
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:10,759
Speaker 20: with that, hopefully that opens up digs to get roughly

1440
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 20: the same about one hundred yards and maybe a reception

1441
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 20: and touchdown. And the reason I want to see eleven

1442
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 20: personnel primarily is I don't want to take Secure off

1443
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 20: the field. I think he's really starting to develop a rapport,

1444
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 20: especially in big situations with Josh. So that's what I'm

1445
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 20: looking to see what they do this week against this team,

1446
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 20: and I really think you've already expressed their corners could

1447
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 20: be vulnerable. And the complement I'd like to give Brownie

1448
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:42,759
Speaker 20: is I'm amazed. I'm sixty five. I grew up listening

1449
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 20: to Van Miller and Ed Murph, two of the best ever,

1450
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 20: and you have stepped in seamlessly. And as I've gotten older,

1451
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 20: because I'm a diabetic, I've now started to experience some

1452
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 20: vision issues. And in the day and age where play

1453
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,640
Speaker 20: by play guys and also sports seem to want to

1454
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 20: talk over the game and give you irrelevant information in

1455
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 20: the moment, you do a great job at painting the picture,

1456
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 20: who's on the field, formations, where the ball's going, and

1457
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 20: it's really easy between my vision to see the game

1458
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 20: and listen to you on the radio. I just want

1459
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 20: to give you a compliment because I think you've stepped

1460
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 20: in and you are continuing and every week you do

1461
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 20: a great job, all right, So I want to thank you.

1462
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 20: I want to thank you for that.

1463
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's very nice to you, Mark. I appreciate that.

1464
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 2: Thanks very much.

1465
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 20: Thanks.

1466
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 2: I appreciate you taking the time.

1467
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: So let me know.

1468
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, just trying to do the best job I can.

1469
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 2: And I'm glad that it's helping you view the game,

1470
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 2: even though your vision is not great. So that's what

1471
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 2: radio is there for. It's a different medium than television.

1472
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 2: That's why you got it to call it differently on

1473
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 2: the radio than you do on TV.

1474
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Exactly good stuff. And also you're right, we don't know

1475
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: the extent it seems to have limited him a little bit,

1476
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: but Dalton kincaid he went down with the shoulder and

1477
01:12:58,320 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 1: was a little limited a couple of weeks ago. He

1478
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,799
Speaker 1: still did and seem like he's back one hundred percent.

1479
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: He might be gutting it out, but I don't know

1480
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: whatever the injury report says.

1481
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 2: Right, and the other I think the other part of

1482
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 2: that too, though, is you know, Dawson Knox has now

1483
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 2: got a few games back under his belt, coming back

1484
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 2: from the wrist surgery, made a big catch on that

1485
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 2: last drive against the Chargers on Saturday, and I think

1486
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 2: he's starting to kind of feel it again, do you

1487
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like, right, you can speak better

1488
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 2: to this than I can.

1489
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 1: Steve.

1490
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,719
Speaker 2: You know, you miss time you're out of the lineup

1491
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 2: for a few weeks, maybe that first game you're just

1492
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 2: kind of trying to get your sea legs back under

1493
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 2: you again. And now I think, you know, the last

1494
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 2: few weeks, you've kind of seen him pop up and

1495
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 2: you noticed him a little bit more, whether it's the

1496
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 2: passing game or even the run game blocking, And I

1497
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 2: kind of feel like he's going to be hitting his

1498
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 2: stride at the right time here. And I've said all

1499
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 2: along with Kincaid now in the mix. I no longer

1500
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 2: expected Dawson Knox to be a volume target, but I

1501
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 2: certainly expected him to be a red zone market for

1502
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 2: this football team, like a touchdown catch guy for them,

1503
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 2: just due to his size, his physicality, all of those things.

1504
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 2: And I think the risk surgery and the injury got

1505
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 2: in the way of that this year kind of compromised that.

1506
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that there's enough time left here in the

1507
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 2: regular season for him to really kind of ramp it

1508
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 2: up and become what I thought he was going to

1509
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 2: be for this team on the offensive side of the ball.

1510
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 1: You're right, though, in the last couple of weeks, the

1511
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: tight ends have kind of disappeared alteratic, except for a

1512
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: couple of exceptions where they were, you know, in that

1513
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: last in that game, this last game, the Charger game.

1514
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: Every catch in that game by everybody seemed really ultra

1515
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 1: important because they were in touch a tight game. So, uh, yeah,

1516
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: I think for me, it has been a struggle for

1517
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: me to get my mind around how the Bills want

1518
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: to use two tight ends. And certainly Kincaid has earned

1519
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 1: a spot on the offense, and Knox has been a

1520
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 1: great blocker in the run game, which has emerged. And

1521
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: also he's always been he's dependable. Remember when he's a rookie,

1522
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:02,759
Speaker 1: dropped everything. Now he does, uh, and he's back healthy

1523
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: and he's a red zone presence. Like he said, So,

1524
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 1: both these guys have a really good skill set that

1525
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: you can use offensively. But like you alluded to, and

1526
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: like the caller alluded to, if you're going to put

1527
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: both those tight ends on the field. Somebody got to

1528
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: sit down, and usually it's Shakir. It's a problem.

1529
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 2: It's a good problem.

1530
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 1: You gotta come. Yeah, you got to commit to two

1531
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:28,759
Speaker 1: tight ends if you want those guys on the field,

1532
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: and you got to find.

1533
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 6: A way to and it. Yeah.

1534
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: So if you're strictly on production in the passing game,

1535
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: it should be Gabe Davis coming off and Shakir's staying

1536
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 1: on right. So, but they've never shown the desire to

1537
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: do that.

1538
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 2: Davis usually has the most if anybody takes.

1539
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,719
Speaker 1: More snaps than anybody except offensive line.

1540
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 2: Josh, it's interesting.

1541
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: It is interesting, But I think that two tight end thing,

1542
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: we still haven't seen the true identity of how they

1543
01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: would want to use them.

1544
01:15:58,280 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 2: We saw it early in the season with a lot

1545
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 2: of success. Remember the first four weeks they had more

1546
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 2: twelve personnel than anybody and it was working. And then

1547
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 2: Dawson has the injury and things have to change for

1548
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 2: obvious reasons. They haven't gotten back to what that looked

1549
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 2: like at the beginning of the year. Maybe it takes

1550
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 2: on a metamorphosis and looks like something different here down

1551
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 2: the stretch. Break time for us when we come back

1552
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 2: Mitch Morse at the post practice podium. We'll have his

1566
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 2: That's the best part, I'm telling you.

1567
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1568
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 2: We've got some post practice podium sound. We heard from

1569
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and Nour Number one now here is the

1570
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 2: guy that snaps him the football builds veterans center Mitch Morse.

1571
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 21: So Josh has forty touchdowns combined, got two more rushing last.

1572
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 22: Week, what do you think of him as an MVP candidate.

1573
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 17: I mean I might be a little biased, but he uh,

1574
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 17: I mean he he's the reason why our offense has

1575
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 17: any bit of success, and on that merit alone, he's

1576
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 17: got my vote.

1577
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 8: Last week, we're making a big deal about James Cook

1578
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 8: and rightly so. This week you needed Josh to be

1579
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 8: Josh in many ways to take away some of the

1580
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 8: players that other other other contributionions. But how important is

1581
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 8: that to know that when when you need Josh to

1582
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 8: be Josh, he is there and he can pull out

1583
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 8: something like that kind of last minute drive.

1584
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's you become numb to it because you're so

1585
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 17: used to it. The guy is just when the pressure's

1586
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 17: on and his numbers called and needs to bail us

1587
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 17: out of a peculiar situation. He seems to do it

1588
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 17: more often than not. We're just very fortunate to have.

1589
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 21: Him with Along those lines, the play to Shakir on

1590
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 21: the last drive, I mean, obviously they bring a zero

1591
01:18:58,360 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 21: pletch you can't block everybody.

1592
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 22: I think there are five guys out in the pattern anyway.

1593
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 21: So just is that one of those where you said,

1594
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 21: well we another play, we didn't give up a sack

1595
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 21: on that one.

1596
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 17: Well, it's one of those plays that he bailed us

1597
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 17: out of. Uh for sure. I for my part, communication

1598
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 17: wasn't the best to give him at least an opportunity

1599
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,440
Speaker 17: to I mean, I think there's three guys in the backfield,

1600
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 17: you know, you'd like maybe one or two. But he

1601
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 17: found a way, as he always does, and you know,

1602
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 17: we were in the moment, so we were just kind

1603
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:32,560
Speaker 17: of worried about with the next play entailed. But that

1604
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 17: was one of those plays after the game where you

1605
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 17: were just you're glad that seventeen were in Buffalo Bill's jersey.

1606
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 21: The Chargers, you know, like they do with Mac is

1607
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 21: an outside line back, you know, thirty four, they played the.

1608
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 22: Five man line a bunch.

1609
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 21: Did you guys feel like it seemed like you adjusted

1610
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 21: and man it obviously the blocking is a little different. Sure.

1611
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,639
Speaker 17: Uh, yeah, Well we understood that there was a chance

1612
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 17: that they were going to run a lot of bas people,

1613
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 17: five bigs. You know, they they let go of one

1614
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 17: of their big guys before the game, so we didn't

1615
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 17: know if we were going to get more Nickel or not.

1616
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 17: They stuck to it, They stuck with their personnelity base,

1617
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 17: and I thought they had some very productive defensive stops

1618
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 17: and schematics, so more often than actually making schematical corrections,

1619
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 17: we just had to make technique corrections for ourselves so

1620
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 17: that we could execute against that.

1621
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 3: And then New.

1622
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 21: England, obviously will in the past has run that five

1623
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 21: to one look, which you've seen a lot. I mean

1624
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 21: they do everything, So I mean have they have you

1625
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 21: been seeing their five to one look?

1626
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 17: I've seen everything?

1627
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 14: Ye.

1628
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 17: New England is the one thing you can expect is

1629
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 17: not only the unexpected, but uh how multiple they can be.

1630
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 17: Just a fantastic football team that really starts with that defense.

1631
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 22: Playing against the run run defense.

1632
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, just remarkable team.

1633
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean what stands out stands out?

1634
01:20:58,040 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 21: Yeah, I don't know if he's listed his three thirty,

1635
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 21: I don't know what an he weighs.

1636
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 17: Yeah, I just I think, uh, it starts with their

1637
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:10,879
Speaker 17: interior not only eating up blocks, but keeping gap integrity.

1638
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 17: I think they do a phenomenal job of keeping gap integrity,

1639
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 17: understanding how offensive linemen are trying to play them, not

1640
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 17: only before the game but during the game.

1641
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

1642
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 17: I just have the utmost respect for to how those

1643
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,880
Speaker 17: guys play and for us to have any success, We're

1644
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:27,440
Speaker 17: gonna have to compete.

1645
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 8: Bill Belichick, William this on, it might might What might

1646
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 8: your thoughts after the game? If this is the last

1647
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 8: time easy portrait?

1648
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 17: Well, the one thing I've learned in this league is

1649
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 17: to expect the unexpected. So I'm gonna until I see that.

1650
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 17: He's been one of the most and one of the

1651
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 17: most frustrated guys to play against because he's just such

1652
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 17: a masterful mind on the defensive front. Uh, the utmost

1653
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 17: respect for what he's done and what he's continued to do.

1654
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 7: Sean says that he's seen Josh other players step up

1655
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 7: emotionally over this last month when things were kind of tough.

1656
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 3: Josh kind of talked about you know, the John Wick

1657
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 3: quote that he said he feels back.

1658
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 22: He won't say his demeanor has changed at all.

1659
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 17: But have you noticed an emotional side or anything different

1660
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:26,600
Speaker 17: from Josh as he's led this last month. Uh No,

1661
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 17: there wasn't like some big switch that flipped. I can't

1662
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 17: say that I would say that he was It's consistent.

1663
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 17: I mean, he was just a consistent guy, came in consistently,

1664
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:43,759
Speaker 17: and his emotionally, I mean, was the leader of this team.

1665
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 17: Consistently making sure we're our p's and q's, especially if,

1666
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 17: like we, you know, our attention gets sidetracked every once

1667
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 17: in a while. He's the one to make sure that

1668
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 17: we're on our stuff, especially in these walkthroughs. So not

1669
01:22:57,920 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 17: so much a change, but just consistent.

1670
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 3: Josh talked about it too, winning's more fun.

1671
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 8: I like all this talk. That was, like, what's going on?

1672
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 7: Like, I think that does that play a part of

1673
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 7: the two of Josh being like a big kid again?

1674
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 17: Well, winning winning it makes everything a lot more fun.

1675
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 17: I guess that's just a kind of a coarse moment,

1676
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:22,600
Speaker 17: but yeah, it was fun to see, you know, is

1677
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 17: a jubulant self, and that's easier to kind of carry

1678
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 17: in your back pocket when you're winning. So appreciate you, guys.

1679
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 6: Thank you.

1680

1682

1683
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 2: mo the last few weeks. You get down to the

1684
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:45,599
Speaker 2: back end of the schedule, bodies might need a little

1685
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 2: extra day to kind of recover properly having played fourteen

1686

1688

Speaker 2: tweet sheet, which we have yet to crack today. Tweet

1689

1691

Speaker 2: it next? To be highlighted in the Bills offense? We've

1692
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,799
Speaker 2: seen different guys taking turns each and every week. Seemingly

1693
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:16,879
Speaker 2: Harold on the tweet sheet says it's Stefan Diggs turn.

1694
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 2: The Patriots will try to take away the last two

1695
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 2: weeks playmakers and Cook and Davis, leaving Digs free. Diggs

Speaker 2: loves to tell the Patriot fans that will be in

1697
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 2: attendance what he thinks about them. Okay, there's people trying

1698
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,679
Speaker 2: to speak it into his existence. Here Steve A Diggs

1699
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 2: breakout game.

1700
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm I'm here for it. You forget Dig's

1701
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: been here four years. In the time that Steph Diggs

1702
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 1: has been here, the Bills have played extremely well against

1703
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots with it. With a few exceptions, the win

1704
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 1: game would be the one I can think of. This

1705
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 1: won the one earlier this season, Week seven game this year.

1706
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: But for the most part, this is a team that

1707
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 1: the Bills have handled surprise it surprising a couple, right,

1708
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,599
Speaker 1: it's surprising to say that given their dominance with Tom

1709
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,600
Speaker 1: Brady in the helm. But Diggs doesn't have any of

1710
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: that scar tissue that we do. This is just another

1711
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 1: game for him. This is not the This is not

1712
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, the evil Empire like it is for so

1713
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 1: many Bills fans. So he yeah, he's give me the ball,

1714
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 1: let's go. And he has no problem telling the Patriot

1715
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: fans that it's just a refreshing change to see a

1716
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: Bills player be able to do that. So I'm he

1717
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 1: may be the guy this week. Certainly he doesn't have

1718
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: any of the angst or scar tissue that the Bill's

1719
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 1: mafia does and it shows in his play.

1720
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. Carl on the tweets sheet says,

1721
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 2: my guess is a big game for the tight ends,

1722
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:51,559
Speaker 2: probably more Kincaid or Cook in the past game. Watching

1723
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 2: New England in the past couple of weeks, they seem

1724
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 2: susceptible to the short to mid range catch and run.

1725
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 2: So maybe getting Cook in space, make a defender miss

1726
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 2: and then you know you're off for a lot of

1727
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,640
Speaker 2: yards after the catch. After that, and the Bills have

1728
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 2: been noticeably better in yards after the catch this season.

1729
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 2: They've been in the top ten almost the entire season

1730
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 2: in yards after catch, so yeah, that could be which

1731
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 2: has been a.

1732
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: Big difference in their offense this year than yes has

1733
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: been in recent passes.

1734
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 2: They've been in bottom three. Yeah, in yards after the

1735
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 2: catch in previous years, so it's a marked improvement for sure.

1736
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 2: We'll take a break here, but some final thoughts on

1737
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet when we return here on One Bill's

1738
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 2: Live Present presented by Kalida Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1739
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

1740
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you. Some final thoughts on the tweet

1741
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 2: sheet where we're asking you whose turn is it to

1742
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 2: be the next highlight player in the Bills offense. We've

1743
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,879
Speaker 2: had several taking turns the last several weeks. Gabe Davis

1744
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 2: the latest major contributor in the win at LA last Saturday.

1745
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 2: Bill's Buy a Billion, says Cook again. Pats are nineteenth

1746
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 2: in the league against wide receivers. They're third against tight ends,

1747
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 2: so no DK Knox or Shakir and we all know

1748
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 2: Belachie loves to take out our number one receiver. They're

1749
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 2: also seventeenth against the run. I don't think they are,

1750
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 2: so Cook will be setting up the sweet twelve yard

1751
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 2: pies all day. I think Cook has a better chance

1752
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 2: to help in the pass game than the run game.

1753
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, it's the number two run defense in football.

1754
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 1: Yes, on average, the average per play is not that great,

1755
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 1: but the overall total is really good. And it's like,

1756
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, we had Dani Rolobski on yesterday and he said,

1757
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, this Patriots team is kind of the same

1758
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 1: way they've always been. They'll give you all you can,

1759
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 1: they'll give you yards for Christmas, they don't care. But

1760
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 1: when you get down close and when you're gonna score

1761
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:03,759
Speaker 1: point red zone, you can't budge. They can't be budged.

1762
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: So you may get some good runs out in the

1763
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 1: field from James Cook and all of that, but I

1764
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: think if you really want to do it right, get

1765
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: over midfield and then take some shots at the end zone.

1766
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: See if you can get in without going to the

1767
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 1: red zone.

1768
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 2: Joel on the tweets sheet says hoping it's digs. His

1769
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,679
Speaker 2: lack of production recently has been concerning, but I'd also

1770
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 2: love to see Shakir take another step. Alan had so

1771
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,599
Speaker 2: much success throwing to Beasley, would love to see Shakir

1772
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 2: take over that role. How likely do you think that is? Maybe,

1773
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 2: if not this year, like in the next year or so,

1774
01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 2: see Shakiir maybe grow into that Beasley safety valve role.

1775
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:45,680
Speaker 1: I think he's there now as much as that role exists,

1776
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think Dalton kin Cage is there.

1777
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:51,639
Speaker 1: I think that is as much of it as anything.

1778
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: And James Cook has also taken over some of that

1779
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: outlet role for the team as well. So whatever's left

1780
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: there as a slot receiver, I think Shaki has proven

1781
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 1: himself to be really trustworthy and has made some big

1782
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:06,759
Speaker 1: catches of late. So yeah, I'm for me. That's already happened.

1783
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,759
Speaker 2: Last one from Michael on the tweet sheet. Once teams

1784
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:15,080
Speaker 2: fear the run, Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid are going

1785
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 2: to eat mark my words. Okay, Well, it'd be nice

1786
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 2: to give the Patriots the taste of their own medicine

1787
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 2: and double tight end them to death. Yea, including like

1788
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 2: some touchdown catches and stuff. I'm all for that. Sign

1789
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 2: me up.

1790
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, just hang a big number.

1791
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 2: That's it for us. Here on a Wednesday edition of

1792
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, We'll see you Tomorrow, same bad time,
