16
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: a grandchild, you know, in gestation, I mean it's like, oh,

Speaker 1: it's led up, all the things we know about game

20
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: days start to take shape for Bills. You've got some

21
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: key players that are questionable, doubtful out, as do the Titans.

22
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: You've got changes in the roster that we didn't anticipate

23
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: six months ago or even three months ago. The landscape

24
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: of the league is two weeks old now, virtually almost

25
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: completely two weeks old except for the Vikings Eagles game

26
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: that starts at eight fifteen tonight. All this stuff's going

27
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: on and finally get a chance to now see what

28
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: your bills can do and the home opener. We have

29
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: all anticipated this game that seemingly forever, and you know

30
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: it's finally here, and you know the way, we had

31
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: a huge storm roll through here about I don't know,

32
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: half an hour. Now it's cleared up. It's gonna be dry, lightning, right,

33
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: it was bad. And then now this afternoon, about four

34
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: or five, we're gonna get us some more rain and

35
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: then it's gonna clear up. It's gonna be dry for

36
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: the game. Maybe a little breeze even not too bad.

37
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a great night. It'll be cool,

38
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: perfect conditions. Might be wet for the tailgate a little bit,

39
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: won't too bad. It's yeah, this is this is not bad,

40
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: and it's a game that we've all looked forward to

41
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans that you know we're here

42
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: for the home games last year, had a little bit

43
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: of trepidation when they saw the forecast because last year

44
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: may have been the worst home date weather schedule on record.

45
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: There was pre sip almost every single home game last year.

46
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: But it looks like by the time we get to

47
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: kick off tonight we will steer clear of that. We'll

48
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: tell you we have coming up on the show shortly.

49
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: But before we do that, Steve since last week has

50
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: been on loop, playing on his laptop or any device

51
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: he can get his hands on the Monday Night Football theme.

52
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: And for those of us old enough to remember, there

53
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: was this whole, big, long winded intro, whether it was

54
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: Frank Gifford or Howard Cosell, while the theme music was playing,

55
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: they would set the stage for the matchup in that

56
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: given week of Monday Night Football. So in the spirit

57
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: of that, Steve and I have decided to draw up

58
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: our own intros to recite through the Monday Night Football theme.

59
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: And since this was Steve's idea in the first place, um,

60
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: we will let Steve go first in this Monday Night

61
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: Football tribute. I guess we would say an homage of

62
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: sorts to Howard Cosell, Frank iffor Don Meredith. Am I

63
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: forgetting anybody who that was the original group, right, co

64
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: Sell Meredith? Well that was that was the iconic group.

65
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: They weren't the very first group. Oh no, that's right,

66
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: they weren't. But yes, they were the ones that kind

67
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: of put the thing on the map. They were the

68
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: ones that everybody remembers. M Yeah, Howard, Don and Frank

69
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: and Frank was actually doing the play by play at

70
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: the time, that's right. And Howard and Dandy Don were

71
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: chirping back and forth. They were too. They could not

72
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: have been more different. And oh my gosh, which is

73
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: why they it was such a hit, that's right, iconic.

74
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: Neither of them afraid to express it if nobody's you know,

75
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: and I get it, and and kudos to them for trying.

76
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: But you know, the networks have tried to recreate something

77
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: like that in the booth for decades since, and they

78
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: just can't get it done. It's hard. Yeah, it's always

79
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: hard to imitate an original or capture the magic of

80
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: an original. You know, I think no knock on anybody

81
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: that's you know, done it or is doing it now.

82
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's eminently qualified, but you know, you can't

83
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: reinvent the wheel, I guess is the best way to

84
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: put it. Right. Everybody's got their own broadcasting style anyway,

85
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: so that's fine. You got to just concentrate on creating

86
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: something that's good in its own right without having to

87
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: look like or sound like any something else. Okay, So

88
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: are you ready in the spirit of this? Are you

89
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: ready to roll? Have you got your thoughts together? You still? Yeah?

90
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna go off the cuff, but I wrote

91
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: a few things down and this is only going to

92
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: be like ten or fifteen seconds, right, Yeah, let me

93
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: turn the music up in my in my ears. So

94
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: when when see if, why don't you que every Q

95
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: are experts in the control room? When you're ready? All right,

106
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Mine is unfortunately a little bit more long winded than that. Yeah,

107
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: I got it, you know it is. It's I write

108
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: long as a habit and it's a bad habit um.

109
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: And here's the thing too, It's fun because I've been

110
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: on broadcast, you know, in the smooth of CBS. I've

111
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: done on broadcast where this is a topic of conversation

112
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: a scene center, yes, in the in the production meeting,

113
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,560

115
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,000

00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: go play it in three two one tonight. The AFC's

117
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: number one playoff seed from a year ago with the

118
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: pre eminent running back in football, Derek Henry, come to

119
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo with an ornery attitude after losing to an upstar

120
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Giants team in Week one by a single point. Do

121
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: they have what it takes to make it three straight

122
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: victories over a Bills team that is now the presumed

123
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: AFC favorite, and the Bills in Josh Allen live up

124
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: to their Super Bowl expectations and harness the frustration of

125
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: not only dropping their last two to Tennessee and back

126
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: to back seasons, but bludgeon a Titans team at their

127
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: own game and what's expected to be a rock fight

128
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage tonight. This isn't the first

129
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: time the Bills have had to exercise demons against the

130
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: Titans team and the season opener in prime time. Buffalo

131
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: had a redemption tour that began and a home opener

132
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football twenty two years ago. Coming off

133
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: a season that ended with home run throwback in nineteen

134
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: ninety nine, the Bills hosted the Titans in their season

135
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: opener on Sunday Night Football and won sixteen to thirteen.

136
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo is hoping for a more convincing showing on Monday

137
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: Night Football next. My God, I sweat it's great. I

138
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: like it. I like it. I had to throw in

139
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: some history that right where. That's the perfect because when

140
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: you throw in the history, that gives the video a

141
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: chance to show the home run throwback and show in it.

142
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: You could even you know, we could have thrown in

143
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: the comeback game as well, back when they were the

144
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: order of the whole thing. You remember the two thousand

145
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: game like I do not. It was it was um

146
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: it was Wades, I know it was. It was a

147
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: home run throwback revenge to Yeah. Yeah, and the team

148
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: was much different, um because they had already had Black Monday,

149
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: where you know, Bruce Andre Thurman all got clipped off

150
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: the roster, and so they were like the shell of

151
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: the team that everybody had remembered through the course of

152
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: the nineties and even that team in ninety nine, and

153
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: they just some I mean, they just did it with

154
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: grit and blood, sweat and tears to eke out a

155
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: sixteen thirteen win. Yeah. It makes me think, though, Steve,

156
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: what is the level of redemption on the minds of

157
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: the Bills after losing two games down there last year,

158
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: including last year on a fourth and goal at the

159
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: end of the game. That that's got to sit with

160
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: them a little bit going into tonight, doesn't it. Yeah,

161
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: it does. It's it's got to, it's got to and

162
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: all that. Listen, we've seen how athletes jump through hoops

163
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: to come up with different scenarios to you know, I mean,

164
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: this has got to be fresh in their memory. Oh yeah,

165
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: And I was on I was on with you know,

166
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: we had blame Bishop on the show this week and

167
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: all that and and uh and they were asking me

168
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: a question about, you know, hey, was that you know,

169
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: did Josh Allie slip or was it just a great

170
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: play by the such and such defensive tackle. And I

171
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: was like, dude, he slipped. Yeah, you know, he slipped.

172
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean you want if you can't, if you don't

173
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: know he's slipped, you ain't you haven't watched the play. Um,

174
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: he slipped on two steps and that was it was over. Uh.

175
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: You know, they can say what they want. And they

176
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: won the game, and they were the number one seed

177
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: and deservedly so it took forever for that to wash out.

178
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: You know, at one point last year that after they

179
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: beat the Bills, the New England Patriots were the number

180
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: one seed, and that after that Monday night game where

181
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: the in the forty mile hour win game. And the

182
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: craziest thing about that Tennessee game was that was the

183
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: swing game because if the Bills beat the Titans, oh yeah,

184
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: that is the only game on their schedule. That changes

185
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: last year. If the Bills beat the Titans last year,

186
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: they are the number one seed in the AFC because

187
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: they are the team that's twelve and five and Tennessee

188
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: is eleven and six, And they basically switched positions because

189
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills already had the tie breaker over

190
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City, they would have been the number one seed

191
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: and the playoffs would have come through Buffalo. And you

192
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: have to believe that even if the Bills played Kansas

193
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: City here, the outcome would have been different. One thing

194
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: we do need to pass along because the final injury

195
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: report for both teams came out over the weekend, So

196
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: in case you didn't have your ear to the ground

197
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: on that, Ed Oliver out for tonight's game, Tim Settle

198
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 1: doubtful for tonight's game, and then Dane Jackson listed as questionable.

199
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: The good news there is he did participate fully in

200
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: practice on Saturday. But then there was a new addition

201
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: to the Bill's injury report. Gabe Davis pops up on

202
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: the injury reports Saturday with an ankle injury. He was

203
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: limited in practice Saturday and is listed as questionable. So

204
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: a couple of major question marks for starters for tonight's

205
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: game for the Bills. The Titans, though in a little

206
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: bit of a similar boat, their injury report came out.

207
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: Starting cornerback Christian Fulton is out for tonight's game with

208
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. He's presumably going to be replaced by

209
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley, one of their former first round draft choices

210
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Also out backup running back don

211
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: Trelle Hilliard, who was kind of their pass catching back.

212
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: It had two touchdowns against the Giants last week catching

213
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: the football Steve. So, I mean it's not like, oh,

214
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: it's just their backup running you know what I mean,

215
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: Like he's involved in their offense. He is out, and

216
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: then they had a backup offensive lineman Jamarco Jones out

217
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: and then also questionable Steve, their rookie fifth round pick

218
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: out of UCLA. The wide receiver Kyle Phillips, who has

219
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: been a revelation for their offense. He is their primary

220
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: punt returner and he is also a slot receiver for them.

221
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: He was their leading receiver last week six catches sixty

222
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: six yards and also had a nice punt return in

223
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: that game, although he did muff one as well. So

224
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: they could be down. Well, they're definitely down a starting corner,

225
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: their backup running back, and maybe Kyle Phillips with a

226
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. We'll have to see. Yeah, there's a lot

227
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: going on, and it's already it's earlier in the season.

228
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: And what a what an incredible weekend it was across

229
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: the league where he had these teams coming back from

230
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: way down, the Jets and the Dolphins both doing that,

231
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: and the and the New England Patriots hanging on to

232
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: win their game against and I can't think who was

233
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: a Patriots made the steel Steelers. So you know, the

234
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: Bills certainly don't want to don't want to go anywhere

235
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: in the standings and drop back to a three way

236
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: tie or or whatever. Yeah, it's crazy because for the

237
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: first time in thirty years, we're talking Week five, nineteen

238
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: ninety two, three NFL teams overcame fourth quarter deficits of

239
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: thirteen points or more to win, And for the first

240
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: time ever, two teams, the Dolphins and the Cardinals, overcame

241
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: twenty plus point halftime deficits to win football games, with

242
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: Miami and Arizona each overcoming those twenty point halftime deficits

243
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: that marked the first time in NFL history multiple teams

244
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: did that to win on the same day, first time

245
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: two teams overcame a deficit of at least twenty points

246
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: at any point to win in the same week. Since

247
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Week four of twenty eleven and to this point this season,

248
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: after just two weeks of play with two games to go,

249
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: eight teams have overcome a deficit of at least ten

250
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: points to win or tie this season, the second most

251
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: through week two all time, trailing only the nineteen eighty

252
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: seven season, which was the strike year through the first

253
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks at nine teams. Yeah, and so's there's

254
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: a lot going on, and it's I told you that.

255
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: I was telling Jay Harris, our producer, this, we were

256
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: walking around today. You get that Baltimore game where they're

257
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: up twenty one in the fourth quarter and they had

258
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: the opening kickoff, goes back one hundred yards for the Ravens.

259
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: They're up immediately, then they fourteen seconds they give up,

260
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: then the the Dolphins give up or the Ravens give

261
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: up a long touchdown, and then the Ravens just kind

262
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: of answer it right back boom seventy five yards for

263
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: their own touchdown. So it was back and forth. There

264
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: was a thousand yards of offense in this game defense.

265
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, and bless their heart, the Ravens

266
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: are a rough and tumble group. They've always been a physical, nasty,

267
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: in your face, chippy kind of kind of team. And

268
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: I and that's really a great way to play football.

269
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, and it's what I noticed because

270
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: I've seen it happen. You get in these games and

271
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: you're the team like the Ravens. You're at home and

272
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: you're lumping these guys up thirty five fourteen, it was

273
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: thirty five fourteen, twenty eighth, thirty five fourteen in the

274
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and the Rave you could just feel the

275
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: Ravens are like, you know what, list I'm you know

276
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: because it's it asks a lot of you to play

277
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: that kind of football, that in your face, rough and tumble, chippy.

278
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot. So when you get up

279
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: twenty one points in the fourth quarters, like you know what,

280
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: guys were, he's off. Let's let's just get through this.

281
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if they score point here late, it

282
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Let's just get out of this quick. Well,

283
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: then Tyreek Hill and two of you know, lightning strikes

284
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: and it strikes again, and they're up and it's hard

285
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: for the Ravens to turn it back on. You know,

286
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't recapture that edge that you turned off.

287
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: And they move together. Explain what these what the defense

288
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: is doing here? The guy's escorting him down the final

289
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: is it like they have never seen him before because

290
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the play in Kansas City that

291
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: that guy for the Bills. They know what it is

292
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: to get that guy past you, and you know it

293
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: doesn't happen too much for the building. Now, he'll catch

294
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: some crossing rounds and all that, but the like in

295
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: they had some rookie safeties in the game due to injury.

296
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: And even even with the Bills, I mean Tyreek, you know,

297
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: catches a short one, he'll then he'll go along. You know,

298
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: it's out run people and he out runs the angle

299
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: on everybody. But they keep a lid on it because

300
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: they know the guy can go. And you can see

301
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: even some of these passes he's still gaining on the dB.

302
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: He points ahead of himself for two of to see him.

303
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: Say listen, just throw it, because these guys are their hips,

304
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: aren't even turned yet. Let's go beat him. Yeah they're done.

305
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm not even past him yet, and they're already beaten.

306
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Let's go. And he's pointing that and a little bit.

307
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: He's doing that because he's got to tell two to

308
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: throw it early, you know, So you turn it off

309
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: if you're the Ravens and you end up dropping a

310
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: game to a team that you were absolutely hammering, Yeah,

311
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: it's bad. It's bad luck. And yet that wasn't the

312
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: worst loss of the Oh no, the worst lead given

313
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: up the Browns or Cleveland the debut of Brownie the Elf.

314
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: They gotta light the middle of that field on fire.

315
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: They're up thirty to seventeen with one fifty five remaining

316
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: in the game, Folks, one fifty five left in the game,

317
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: and Joe Fling the Jets come back to beat them

318
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: thirty one thirty. I mean they're down twenty three. They're

319
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: the first team, the Jets to overcome a deficit of

320
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: at least thirteen points inside of the final two minutes

321
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: of regulation to win, since Chicago overcame a fourteen point

322
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: deficit to defeat who Cleveland in overtime in Week eight

323
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: of the two thousand one season. It's been twenty years

324
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: since the team did this. Yeah, now, I mean this

325
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: is an abomination, it really. I mean they got an

326
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: on site. You can't. I mean, take it from a

327
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: guy who's recovered some onside kicks in his day. You

328
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: can't even recover one these days. You have to it

329
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: has to beat. It is a roll of the dice

330
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: where none of the numbers are coming up as unbelievable.

331
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: You can't ef you can't recover things on side these days.

332
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: The Browns fans are like all of them have got

333
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: both hands on their heads. There's like thirty thousand people

334
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: standing there with two hands on their heads, going whoa, whoa.

335
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: We just lost to the Jets after leading by twenty

336
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: three inside the two minute. That's right now. I tweeted

337
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: this last night after all these games were put to bed,

338
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the AFC East Steve went three and oh against the

339
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: AFC North yesterday. The Jets beat the Browns, the Patriots

340
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: beat the Steelers, and the Dolphins beat the Ravens and

341
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals lost to the Cowboys. So the AFC North

342
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: went over four yesterday. Yeahouchan, who say this? You know

343
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: they the Bengals got beat by Cooper Rush. Yeah, and

344
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: I and the Eve's predictions looking pretty good. That one's

345
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: up on the white board that Cincinnati will being done.

346
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: The Cincinnati Bengals are the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chicago Bears

347
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: are the Chicago Bears. And unlike yesterday, although we all

348
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: kind of have a soft spot in our heart for

349
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, the Detroit Lions are going to be the

350
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. That's the way it's gonna be. Yeah. And

351
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: so let me just say this. I'll go out on

352
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: I'll just go out further out onto the limb into

353
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: the skinny. The San Diego Chargers are gonna be the

354
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers, even if they're the in LA. The

355
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: LA Chargers are going to look exactly like the San

356
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: Diego Charger. Okay, that is exactly the path of their

357
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: trip this season. Okay. They are gonna have Dan Fouls,

358
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: Kellen Winslow jump, you know, John Jefferson, Chuck Chuck Munsey,

359
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: and they are going to absolutely be a disappointment. Okay,

360
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: you heard it here first, and that's it's just the

361
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: way it's gonna be. Yeah. Um, there was some extracurricular

362
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: activity yesterday on the field between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

363
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: and New Orleans Saints. Now there has been bad blood

364
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: between these two teams before, division rivals, chief among the

365
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Marshawn Lattimore. These two guys have gone

366
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: against each other for the better part of the last

367
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: five years twice a year, and tensions boiled over. Mike

368
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: Evans shoved Marshawn Lattimore to the ground after he allegedly

369
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: took a swing at Tom Brady and mouthed off to him.

370
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: Evans decides he's got to defend his quarterbacks on or

371
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: shoves him to the ground. There's a little bit of

372
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: a melee, some shovins, some punching of helmets, grabbing of

373
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: face masks, all of that jazz. Long story short, here,

374
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Evans gets ejected from the game, as does Lattimore, and

375
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: there is a chance that there will be suspensions levied

376
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: by the league because of what occurred. Part of the

377
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: reason why there could be severe suspensions is if you

378
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: remember Steve back in twenty seventeen, Mike Evans got a

379
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: one game suspension for hitting Marshawn Lattimore on his team's sideline.

380
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: Isn't even on the field and so you know, prior

381
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: offenders tend to get stiff suspensions, stiff or suspensions, so

382
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: that could be what Mike Evans is facing. According to

383
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk, the NFL is addressing all things related

384
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: to the Buck Saints brawl on Sunday, including the involvement

385
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: of retired Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians, who was standing

386
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Yeah. Well, Bruce Arians got every right

387
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: to stand on the sidelines. And I gotta tell you,

388
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Brady, And you can say what

389
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: you want about whether it's right or wrong. Brady is

390
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: like the is like you know, any present you can name,

391
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 1: you can. He can talk all he wants because if

392
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: anybody takes steps up on him, he's got nineteen thousand

393
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: Secret Service agents. They're gonna, you know, cuff the guy

394
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: and rough him up. That's Brady, and he started the

395
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: whole thing. He says something. A lot of Moore said something,

396
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: and Brady says something. Now they start walking towards each other,

397
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: and then now then you know, playoff. Lenny gets into

398
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: Vaulve Leonard Bournette, and then Evans comes in and Brady's

399
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: still walking towards Laddimore and by this time, there's there's

400
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: nine guys between him and him. So and I'm not

401
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: saying this is all Tom Brady's fault, because let me

402
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: tell you something. If you're if there's something out there

403
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: where some guy just says like, like these guys they're

404
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: just barking at each other walking by, right, dude, there's

405
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: no vote, there's no word in the vocabulary that's coming

406
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: out in that instance that that should dissolve into a fight.

407
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: But Mike Evans comes out and sees that as an

408
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to come out and jack jack up an old

409
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: you know, adversary. He comes out of nowhere, cold cocks

410
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: Laddimore and then every everything and then then the lids off,

411
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, off we go and off you go. So yeah,

412
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: and and Mike Evins like going out, What do you

413
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: want me to do? What you want? You want you

414
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: to stay on the sidelines. That's what you should have done. Yeah,

415
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: you should be out. He should be out for a month.

416
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Steve, I mean, should be multiple game suspension.

417
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: It's the first time probably will be since he's had

418
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: a one game suspension before. We saw a bunch of

419
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: players last week, including Stefan Diggs get fined for taunting

420
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: even though flags weren't thrown in the game, and so

421
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: there is supposed to be this point of emphasis on

422
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: flagging taunting. That would have been a perfect opportunity to

423
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: do it. You got Brady jaw Jack in with Lattimore

424
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: and that's going back and forth. Throw the flags then,

425
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, taunting personal foul. You know what, even if

426
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: they're offsetting, just start throwing some yellow around to kind

427
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: of get some control of the situation. Yeah, that's right.

428
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too. I would if I was, well,

429
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: if we're all commissioner for a day, yeah, i'd if

430
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: something like that happened, there would be half a dozen

431
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: guys tossed on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

432
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: If I'm the you can just start making it really hurt,

433
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean really hurt, so and suspend them without pay

434
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: for you know, a month, and let the team suffer

435
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: for it. Don't let that go. You can't. That's it's ugly.

436
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: It's really ugly, and it's bad. It's it's something the league.

437
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: That's the one thing you look at this whole weekend,

438
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that looks really bad that's the

439
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: one thing that looks really bad. The rest of the

440
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: football stuff where guys team's letting up and letting teams

441
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: come back. It's all football. It's all kind of fun. Yeah,

442
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: that right, there is something that doesn't look fun. It

443
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: looks disrespectful to each other, looks disrespectful to the fans,

444
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: the game, everything. All those guys should be tossed, including

445
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: the guys who insicated with whatever words they said, Brady Laddamore.

446
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: Then Mike Evans should go out, Leonard Fournette should go out.

447
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: And that's just off the top. That's off the top

448
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: three seconds of that fight. Yeah, if you're gonna make

449
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: taunting a point of emphasis and you let it spill

450
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: over into that, if it turns into have to be suspensions. Yeah,

451
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: if it turns into violence outside the game, Yeah, I mean,

452
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: look at these refs. Good luck stopping giant humans. I

453
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: told you, man, And it's a death match, so you

454
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: gotta have you got to have smart guys who aren't

455
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: mad stepping in there, who are big enough to break

456
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: it up. None of the officials are. Ye. Look at

457
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: the official trying to pull the guy push the guys back,

458
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: and while he's pushing him back. Lattimore's over here in

459
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: the middle of a of a Tampa Bay team meeting

460
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: and they're roughing him up, pulling his helmet off and

461
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: all that. And he's got nine He's got nine bucks

462
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: around him as the only Saints player, and the officials

463
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: are pushing the Saints player back on the other side

464
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: of the pile, trying to keep the Saints out of

465
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: the out of the mix, while Lattimore's getting his head

466
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: ripped off. And that's the way, and that's what guys

467
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: lose it when that happens. We just got word that

468
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: the Titans are elevating wide receiver Josh Gordon from their

469
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: practice squad for Tonight's game against the Bills. This according

470
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: to NFL Networks Tom Pella sero. He was with the

471
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the offseason, did not make their roster if

472
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, and then he was signed to Tennessee's

473
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: practice squad and now he is being called up, which

474
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: could be an indication Steve Kyle Phillips is not going

475
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: to play right because he was listed as questionable with

476
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury. Josh Gordon a fantastic physical talent um

477
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna put him on the field. And even if

478
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: you just run him on go routes the whole game,

479
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you gotta receive gifted. He'll

480
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: they'll give him less than a handful of routes, less

481
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: than a handful of plays. You can rent one side

482
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: or the other. Um, and he'll go out here. And

483
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how long he's been with him, how

484
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: long has he been. He's been there for a couple

485
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: of weeks there, a couple of weeks ago, right, Well,

486
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: if it's been a couple of weeks, he's probably got

487
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: some plays he's ready to do. Um. But it's it's

488
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: it's difficult. It's difficult to get a guy ready to

489
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: play like that, particularly when you're trying to get ready

490
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: for games, you know. So, um yeah, Phillips was a

491
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: big part of their play game plan last week, and

492
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: now to have him sit has got to throw a

493
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: wrench into what they probably would have done otherwise in

494
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: their game plan. So that's one developed on the Titan

495
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: side of the ledger. We'll see if and when the

496
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: Bills have a practice squad call up, because with Ed

497
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Oliver out and Tim settled doubtful for tonight's game, there's

498
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 1: a good chance they call up Brandon Bryant or C. J. Brewer,

499
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: two defensive tackles on the practice squad, along with Prince Emilie.

500
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: Prince Emilie just got back last week when they signed

501
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: him to the practice squad, presumably for depth purposes in

502
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: light of those injuries. But we would anticipate, with Brewer

503
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: and Brian having been here from the jump, that those

504
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: guys would be the first two called up. If both well,

505
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: we know ed Oliver's not playing, but if Settle Camp

506
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: play either, and he was listed as doubtful, So we'll

507
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: see when those are made. Believe they have until ninety

508
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: minutes before the game to do so, so there's time

509
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: and we'll wait and pass that along when it is available.

510
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: Jam Pact Show, as I said for you today, coming

511
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: up in about thirty five minutes or so, we'll be

512

Speaker 1: talking with the guy that's calling the game on ESPN tonight,

Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty one eight eight five fifty two,

539
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 1: five fifty. What do you think will be the key

540
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: to a Bills victory tonight? We do have an update

541
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: from the league office. So much for past history. Mike

542
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: Evans got suspended five years ago for pushing Marshawn Lattimore down.

543
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: He's a repeat offender. He gets another one game suspension.

544
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: That's what's been handed down by the league just moments ago.

545
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: That is all from what we are understanding. Everybody else

546
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: that was involved will not face any other punishment, aside

547
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: from possible fines, I would say, but no other suspensions

548
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: are coming. Mike Evans only for one game. Obviously, he

549
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: does have the right to appeal that suspension, but um,

550
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: one game, I just probably take it and move on.

551
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: So maybe. Yeah, So that's where it lies, and we'll

552
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: leave it there. So he will not play, presumably unless

553
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: he appeals in next week's game for the Bucks. But

554
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones at eight oh three fifty one,

555
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: eight fifty two, five fifty and leading us off today

556
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: is Patrick all the way out in New Mexico. What

557
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: do we got for is Patrick? Him. This is my

558
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: second time calling. I cooled last Monday night game and

559
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: I was watching in Tennessee and I was just wondering

560
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: how we're going to do stopping Derrick Henry and the

561
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: run defense because I know last year Derrik Henry got

562
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: a sixty yard touchdowns and that was a big backbreaker,

563
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: and I'm just wondering how we're going to two stopping

564
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: against the run. And I think if we stop the run,

565
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: we could win. They don't have a lot of wide receivers.

566
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: I know they got rid of a few, and I

567
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: just wanted to take on that. Okay, thanks for the call, Patrick,

568
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: enjoy the game tonight. I mean that is the key.

569
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: You just can't let Derek bust off a big one

570
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: he did last year. But you also got to be

571
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: stout in the run front in the red zone. That

572
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: was another area where the Bill struggling in that game

573
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, they gave up the seventy six yard

574
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: touchdown Steve, but they also gave up two short touchdown

575
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: runs to Derrick Henry. At the end of the night,

576
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: he's got three scores. It's hard to do because the

577
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: guy's so big in their offensive line is good to stop,

578
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: get it stopped. And it's not just keeping him from

579
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: keeping the lid on the seventy six yard touchdown run.

580
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: It's also keeping the lid on the first and ten run,

581
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: making it into a second and three. You know, you

582
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: want to keep it, you know, second and eight, second

583
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: and nine, second and ten, you know. And that's really

584
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: hard to do. And it's it's about penetration. It's about

585
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: dominating the line of scrimmage. And it's really difficult to

586
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: do when you got a really competent, more than competent,

587
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 1: really good offensive line in front of a back that's

588
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: that's that big and that fast. But that's what the

589
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: Bills have to do. Um, you gotta make the Titans

590
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: throw the football to win it and lean on your secondary.

591
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: Now it's a secondary that's been hobbled now without without

592
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: Tradavious White, Dane Jackson's a question mark, you know. So,

593
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: and you got the guys behind Dane Jackson and Tradavious

594
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: White are brand new. Um, it's hard to do. You

595
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: got to lean on them with poor year and hide

596
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: back there to see if you can get him to

597
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: throw it. But that, yeah, that's that's football. One on one.

598
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Stop the run, particularly with his Titans team, and that

599
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: guy they've got handed it off to him. Let's go

600
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: back to the phones and to Dave in Florida, we go,

601
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: what are you, Dave? Hey, guys, are you doing today? Good?

602
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: All right, listen, I just called up to say, the

603
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: only thing that's going to stop the Buffalo Bills is

604
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I don't like all this hype and

605
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: all this goddamn stuff right here all over the place

606
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: on every channel, and I'm getting tired of it. Okay,

607
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: McDermott has got to calm them down. Played Buffalo Bills

608
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: football and we'll take them all out. And I believe

609
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: that firmly. And on a side note, On a side note,

610
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: and on Monday Night football, when you guys were introduction

611
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: back in the seventies, I was a game Buffalo Bills

612
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: Monday Night. O. J. Simpson ran for a lot of yards.

613
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: We had a few pops and we wound up in

614
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: the booth with Meredith in, Howard Cosell and Dandy dun

615
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: They threw us out, but it was great to be

616
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: They shook our hands and everything, you know, but it

617
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: was cool. Dave sneaking up in the broadcast booth. All right,

618
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Dave. Yeah, I mean, look the Bills.

619
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's not forget this. Um. The last nineteen wins

620
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: by the Bills have been by double digits. It's the

621
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: second longest streak in NFL history. Well, no, it's it's

622
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: I think it's actually second in NFL history because there

623
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: is one winning streak by San Francisco when they were

624
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: in the AAF SEA. It doesn't in NFL history. It's

625
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: the second longest if you count them. It's still allow.

626
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: The Bears nineteen forty one to forty two had a

627
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: longer winning streak than nineteen games. I think it was

628
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: might have been like twenty or twenty two or something. Um.

629
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: When they win, they usually win big. The Titans, they

630
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: are masters at keeping games close. They just grind and

631
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: grind and grind and grind, and somehow you get to

632
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and you're like, how are you only

633
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: up six points on these guys? You know what I mean?

634
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: That's how they play. Yeah, and there, that's right in

635
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: their wheelhouse. And if you get the feeling and even

636
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: in even if you're up double digits on them and

637
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: it's early in the game, they still don't waiver. Yeah,

638
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: just chip away at it and just say we got time.

639
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: We're not going to do it as long as you

640
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: don't start, just keep going and keep going and running

641
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: it up on them, which is, you know, nobody's able

642
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: to do on this team. They're they're too well coached.

643
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: So that's the that's their wheelhouse. And you're right, Um,

644
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: I get this, Dave in Florida about the expectations. You're

645
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: you're making a common mistake. You're thinking what everybody out

646
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: here and all of us fans and the media and

647
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: all that is is somehow has something to do with

648
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: what the Buffalo Bills are thinking about in their locker room.

649
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: And it's not true. They nobody more so than Sean McDermot,

650
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the rest of those guys, von Miller. They

651
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: know how tough it is to win in this league

652
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: and how ridiculous it is to think just because some

653
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: writer on the internet thinks you're great makes you great.

654
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: They know better. So don't think that they're sitting in

655
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: there with their feet up eating grapes, you know, thinking

656
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: that this is going to be easy this season. They're not.

657
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: You may get sick of hearing how good they are.

658
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: They're not listening to it, so just relax. It doesn't

659
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: mean they're gonna play great every game, but it's not

660
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: going to be because of what the Internet says about

661
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: their team. Let's go back to the phones and we

662
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: go to Joe in Lancaster next week. Got for us, Joe, Hi, Yeah,

663
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: my name's Joe here. I drove four and a half

664
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: hours up from Pennsylvania. So watch this game. If my

665
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: cousin he's a big season holder ticket than here for

666
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: the Bills. I just want to talk about Derrek Henry.

667
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: How depends on the weather right breaks the weather breaks,

668
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: it's nice, you know, is gonna be able to throw

669
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: all over our defense. Defense is not the greatest. I've

670
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: been a Titans van for about twenty years now. That's

671
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: probably my second game. I'll obviously I'm by Pittsburgh b A.

672
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: So I watched them beat the beat up on the

673
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: Titans and think about last year how Alan slipped. You

674
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: never know, hopefully and it can happen again. But it's

675
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a crazy atmosphere. I'll be wearing my Titans

676
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: gear and I'm see how the Bill Moffia is gonna

677
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: treat me well. Hopefully you'll be you'll be okay, John,

678
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you probably will be. It's a pretty

679
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: friendly crowd. Although I will say this, it's like I

680
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: get let me just give it. Give an example. If

681
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: you're going to give a speech at a banquet, you

682
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: hope they haven't had open bar for the two hours

683
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: leading up to your speech, because if it is, you

684
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: ain't gonna get a word in. Nobody cares. Or here's

685
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: what you say. And it's a little bit like this

686
00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: Monday night game because it's open one. Yeah, yeah, the

687
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: bar has been open. Yeah, the bar has been opened,

688
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, so there's gonna be some people. And

689
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: I know that this is a common practice at all

690
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: stadiums if they if you show up and you're if

691
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: you're inebriated, they scan your ticket and turn you around

692
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: and send you home. They don't let you in the game. Yeah,

693
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: that's just a common practice. And he wa, wait what

694
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: you know? Um, so hopefully you'll be okay, Joe. Uh.

695
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: And you know, good for you for driving four hours

696
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: to come up and see your team play. He uh,

697
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,479
Speaker 1: it's funny that he's pinning his hopes on maybe Josh

698
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: will slip again or you know, I think I think

699
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: most Titans fans know that their roster top to bottom

700
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: isn't as strong as it has been in recent years.

701
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: And I think that's not necessarily an opinion, it's it's

702
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: facts really for the most part. Um, they have some

703
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: young players that they need to step into some pretty

704
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: prominent roles, and in Week two there's a pretty good

705
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: chance that it's not all going to come together the

706
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: way that they would like in all facets. So now

707
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: is the time to get the Titans, if you will,

708
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: especially on your home field, and hopefully you know, the

709
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: Bills can play lights out football from the jump, get

710
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: a get a lead on this team and force them

711
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: to play in a way that they don't want to,

712
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: which is catch up football. It's hard to think that that,

713
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: I mean, when you say that their Titans roster isn't

714
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: as good, it's hard to trade out O. J. Howard

715
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones for Nick Westbrook, j A J. Brown?

716
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: Who did I say? Yeah? A J. Brown and Julio

717
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: Jones for Nick Westbrook? Kind is that how you say that?

718
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: Traylan Burkes and Robert Woods, you know, and Kyle Phillips

719
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: and all those guys. I mean, that's um, that's a

720
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: tough Those those are hard. Those guys are hard to

721
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: replace their all time greats. And certainly A. J. Brown

722
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: is as good as he being the league right now.

723
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, on the outside on the offense, they're different,

724
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: and they're not as proven, and they're not as intimidating,

725
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: at least from the outside end. You also have two

726
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: of your offensive linemen from your starting offensive line a

727
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: year ago, your right tackle Kesson Berry and Roger Saffold

728
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: the left guard. Both those guys now play for the

729
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: team you're playing tonight. And you were the number one

730
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: seed last year, so you were pretty good up front.

731
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: Those kind of things tend to get people thinking, you know,

732
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: they're not the same team, let alone the fact that

733
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: you dropped your opening game. Yeah, I know that a

734
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: lot of Titans fans are pinning their hopes on the

735
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: fact that, and they call it the Vaybel effect. More

736
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: often than not, after they lose a game to a

737
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: team they shouldn't lose too, they usually beat a team

738
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: that nobody thinks they can beat. Titans fans are banking

739
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: on that history as well. Will it happen tonight. We'll

740
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. We take a break here,

741
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: but more of your phone calls coming up next. What

742
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: is the biggest key to a Bill's victory tonight? You

743
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: tell us at eight o three five fifty back in

744
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: a second here on One Bills Live, presented by Collid

745

747
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: This week's game sponsor is Hi Mark Blue Cross, Blue

748
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: Shield of Western New York, the official health plan of

749
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. We're gonna get right back to the

750
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: phones here, and leading us off this segment is Walter

751
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: in Toronto. What you got for us? Walter? Hey, gentlemen,

752
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: how are you good? I'm kind of getting a little

753
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: tired of hearing about that one run Henry had against

754
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: the last year where you book get open and got

755
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 1: to touchdown, because I know you gentlemen don't like to

756
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: complain about the refereeing, but if I'm not mistaken, there

757
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: was a clear hold in our secondary that didn't allowed

758
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: him to bust out that run. Yeah, because the rest

759
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: of the game, I think he had what twenty carries

760
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: for sixty yards something like that, so you you you know,

761
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: you you get that that run called back, which clearly

762
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: there's been more egregious non calls than that, but at

763
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: any rate, just wondering how many punts you think we're

764
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: gonna do tonight? Zero keep our street going, zero punts. Yeah,

765
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. That's a good question. Now.

766
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: I think we'll have to punt tight. I think it'll

767
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: give it a normal game. I think that's what Tennessee does.

768
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: They muck the game up. They make it hard to

769
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: get first down, it's hard to stay on the field,

770
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: and and they they push the envelope on every level. Um,

771
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: I think they're probably gonna try and latch onto the receivers.

772
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: Forced the officials to get tired of calling penalties, and

773
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the way they do things.

774
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: You know, they get they get into these kind of

775
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: little mud wrestling games where everything's dirty and chippy, and

776
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, the bad weather would suit them just fine.

777
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: I don't think they want to, you know, I don't

778
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: think they want to let these receivers go out and

779
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: let Josh Allen run around and throw the football all

780
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: over the yard. I think they'll struggle to keep up

781
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: with them if they do that, and I think they're

782
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: going to keep them out of that as much as

783
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: they can. In fact, they might be the kind of

784
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: it might be the kind of game where Tennessee invites

785
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: the Bills to run the football rather than throw it,

786
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: and then dives into the box trying to stop the run.

787
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: You know, so we'll see that may be one of

788
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: the things they try. I mean, just to kind of

789
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: accentuate Steve's point about how the Titans like to just

790
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: muck up a game. Six of their twelve victories last

791
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: year were by three points or less. Five of them

792
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: I think we're by three points. There was won by

793
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: two points that they won last year, including the win

794
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: over the Bills. So tight games is just where they

795
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: want to be because they're not a pull away from

796
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: teams kind of winner usually. I mean, if if your

797
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: team turns the ball over to them five times, yeah

798
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna pull away and win by double digits. But

799
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: more often than not, this Titan team wins close games

800
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: and they're not uncomfortable when the game is tight. That's

801
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: right where they usually operate. So it's just running the

802
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: mill for them. They don't tighten up when the game

803
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: gets tight. They're right where they want to be because

804
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: they know they know how to grind out victories. So

805
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: hopefully Buffalo can get up on them early and we'll

806
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: see where it goes from there. Back to the phones though,

807
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: and to Marie in Amhurst, well you got for us, Marie. Hey, guys,

808
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 1: so thirty four twenty one Buffalo the Night, Okay, next

809
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: week or is going to be next week? Next week?

810
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: I'll give that the closer game. I'll give that six

811
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: point for whatever, but I think that the key to

812
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: the victory to Night. It's going to be pretty much

813
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey. I'm confident in our defense, the depth we have.

814
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: I think Dorsey just need to keep the flow of

815
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: the game going without being stagnant. We saw some stagnant

816
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: the last few years with um what's his name Day

817
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: both on offense, but we just keep our foot on

818
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: the gas. Was good. I mean their offense, they're gonna

819
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: do what they're gonna do when they're running game. But

820
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: we just gotta keep going with what we're doing. We'll

821
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: be fine, all right, Marie, appreciate the confidence. Thanks for

822
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: the call. We have to step aside here, but Marie thinks, hey,

823
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: just stay away from the lulls in play and they'll

824
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: be good. And there were times last year, and you

825
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: can even argue last week, Steve, there was a little

826
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: bit of a lull there. If you're gonna turn it

827
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: over on back to back series, yeah, you're gonna go

828
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: into a law. If they don't turn it over, they're

829
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna be impossible to beat. In my opinion, that's just

830
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: that's how strong I feel about how good they are

831
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: and how solid they are. If the Bills don't turn

832
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: it over tonight, they win. But that's Tennessee's gonna be

833
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: trying to get him to turn it over. So we'll

834
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,439
Speaker 1: see break time for us here. But when we come back,

835
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: we are going to be joined by the man calling

836
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: the game and the play by play for ESPN on

837
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football's broadcast. It is Steve Levy joining us

838
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: next here on One Bill's Live presented body Collid to Health.

839
00:47:24,040 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radios, One Bill's Live presented by Call

840
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: to Health. All Right, our number two here on a

841
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: game day and joining us now is the guy that's

842
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: going to be calling the game on ESPN's Monday Night Football.

843
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: It's played by play commentator Steve Leevie kind enough to

844
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: join us on game day. Steve, how are you doing?

845
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: You're ready to rock and roll tonight? Yes, I know

846
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: the fans will be ready and we gotta try to

847
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: match that. I gotta try to contain myself. That's one

848
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: of my one of my issues. I'll be ready to

849
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: jump out of the booth for kickoff. We're as a group,

850
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: we are all so excited for this. Yeah. In fact,

851
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: I got a chance to play a little golf with

852
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky a little while back. He's he's has made

853
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: it clear he's really excited about tonight's first opportunity to

854
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: do it. How's it going with him and how's he

855
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: acclimated to the new production routine. You know, it's been great.

856
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: You see Dan the morning He's on all these morning shows,

857
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: and you know he's so dialed in the breaking down

858
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: film and tape, and so, you know, I learned something

859
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: new from him every single time I get a chance

860
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: to work with them. So that's been really enjoyable for me.

861
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: We were fortunate to a couple of preseason games as well,

862
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: preseason Monday night football games, so we've got a few

863
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: reps in and we're looking forward to letting it fly

864
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: tonight for real. So Steve, obviously you get a chance

865
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: to talk to the coaches on both sides here, and

866
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious where Vrabel is at with this. They've had

867
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: losses in the past that were quote unquote unexpected, and

868
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: I think you'd file Week one in that category for

869
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: the Titans. They've been here before, and then they inevitably

870
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: they come back and beat a team they're not supposed

871
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: to beat. That's happened before. I think they even call

872
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: it the Vrabel effect down there in Tennessee. Are they

873
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: clinging to that this week? I mean, Chris, we talked

874
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: to Vrabel yesterday and I asked him that same question.

875
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: I said, look, not all losses are created equal. Uh

876
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: you still I send this to yesterday, You still look

877
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: angry from LA You know, I don't know it's twenty

878
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: four hour rule where you flush a loss and U

879
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: and Rabel said, no, this is my usual face. You know,

880
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: this is my my usual attitude. So you know, he's

881
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: got that rough, gruff exterior, if you will. But I

882
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: think he's confident in his team. I do not think

883
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: that was that was the real Tennessee Titans for a

884
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: week ago. I think they would admit they got a

885
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: little fancy against the Giants some of the play calling

886
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: as well last week. And I think you'll see the

887
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: real Tennessee Titans tonight. I don't know what that means,

888
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: but I think you'll see a bigger dose of Derrick

889
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: Henry and straight ahead and not you know, end arounds

890
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: to rookie tight ends on third and one, uh and

891
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: not being you know, just shredded by you know, say

892
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: Kauwon Barkley from a week ago. So, hey, Titans used

893
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: the words embarrassed. They were embarrassed last week. And so

894
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: I think the Bills will get their best effort tonight. Yeah,

895
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: they and they weren't. They're not the same roster as

896
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: they were a year ago, and they got the number

897
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: one seed. They've had some changes. How has that you

898
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: know what, what kind of differences to the new players

899
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: and new faces on their roster make and their personality

900
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: and who they really are? You know, we don't we

901
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean that's the thing, right, They've played

902
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: one game. A J. Brown, I think is the biggest absence,

903
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: and then you see what he did with the Eagles

904
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: and just tour it up in week number one. So

905
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: that's that's got a sting. When nobody's sleeping on Roger sapphole, right,

906
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: who was They desperately wanted to keep him and now

907
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: he's a big part of the Bills offensive line. So

908
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, those are two of the major changes on offense.

909
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: Um they've got two young wide receivers who are very,

910
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: very talented. The first round pick up there as well,

911
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: but quite simply, we don't know. And you know, they

912
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 1: spent they spent a lot of money at the tight

913
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: end position picking up Hooper and he was involved last

914
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: week and with one catch, kind of like Dawson Knox

915
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: had one catch last week. And so I think the

916
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: tight end position is really interesting to watch tonight. But

917
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: it's a great unknown other than you know, Tannehill and

918
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: Derrek Henry. We got to see how they do in

919
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: the passing game. People are familiar with Robert Woods here

920
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I know he was beloved in Los Angeles

921
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: with the Rams, and we'll see what he gives the

922
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: Titans offense tonight. Steve, you mentioned how Sequon tore them up.

923
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: I think your colleague Dan Orlovsky even brought it up

924
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: to us. I think he had one hundred and thirty

925
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: four of his honor and sixty eight yards without even

926
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: being touched by the Titans defense last week, which is

927
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 1: a startling figure. Any team should expect the next opponent

928
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: to test all of that stuff to see if you

929
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: have it buttoned up. As much as everybody's talking about

930
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: Josh and the passing attack here, do you kind of

931
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: openly wonder if if the Bills may test that early

932
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 1: to see if the Titans have it corrected. Probably tested early,

933
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: but I think the Bills are going to be the Bills,

934
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: and I think Falo has to do what they do best.

935
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: But there's no doubt there's been an emphasis for the

936
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: Bills to get the running game going, and I think

937
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: that's a season long theme for Buffalo. Right, you have

938
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: what could be this great home field advantage. If the

939
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: Bills are going to be as good as everyone anticipates

940
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: on a top seed in the home games the buys,

941
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: then you want to use Orchard Park to your advantage.

942
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: You know, I'm throwing the football in January forty five

943
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: times is not really to their advantage. Now, got Josh

944
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: Allen he's got the arm, can throw through the phone book.

945
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: I get all that, but I think you would like

946
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 1: to be more balanced when it comes to January and

947
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: be able to use your home field advantage to your advantage.

948
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: So I think that's the theme all season to watch,

949
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: and certainly they'll test it. But I think the Bills

950
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: who want to throw the ball, I think that's where

951
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: they're best suited. But certainly the running game will be

952
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: more improved tonight. What do you make of the bills inability,

953
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: or at least in recent memory last year, their inability

954
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: to win close games, and then when they do win,

955
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: it's double digit, it's a double digit affair. They seem

956
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: to be really, really good front runners, and then they

957
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: get into these muckety muck games. Unless they can get

958
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: up by a score or two, they tend to struggle.

959
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: Is there any generalization you can draw from that? Because

960
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: every year seems to be different. And see if that's

961
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: the game last year in Nashville, right, we had that

962
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: game on Monday Night, comes down the stretch and I

963
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: love the play call. I get it. You don't want

964
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: to go for the tie, you go for the win.

965
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: And you know Simmons got them, but I think Josh

966
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: really did slip on that fourth down and one of

967
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, twenty seconds or whatever it was left. So

968
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: and that's the total opposite. That is the total opposite

969
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: from the Titans. Tennessee gets into the fourth quarter, one

970
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,240
Speaker 1: score game and they win those games, and you're right, Buffalo,

971
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: they seem to blow people out and if not, then

972
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: it's then it's a struggle. Back. To me, that contrast

973
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: makes tonight so interesting. I think if you look at

974
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: this from afar, this looks like the Bills could you know,

975
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: could walk away tonight and have an easy victory. But

976
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: then you know you're who the Titans are, and you

977
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 1: remember yesterday's games, Well, who's turning off tonight's game if

978
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: the Bills have a twenty one point in that right? Right?

979
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: No way, not after what we saw in the NFL

980
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: yesterday with all the great comebacks. So you know, as

981
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: a broadcaster, we're looking to get into the fourth quarter

982
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: or a one score game, and you're right, Steve, that's

983
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: when the Titans are more dangerous. I think the Bills

984
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: have been in the past, but maybe you know, maybe

985
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 1: that's one of the adjustments of Buffalo is able to

986
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: make this season, continue to be a better team and

987
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: win those close games too. I know that, you know,

988
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to talk to players and coaches

989
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: for the Bills, and coach McDermot kind of has a

990
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: pretty buttoned up operation here, so poland stuff out of

991
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: these guys is easier said than done. Do you sense

992
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: any kind of redemption factor in play here from last

993
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: year's game on the part of the Bills. I don't

994
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: think it's a big factor. I think these are two

995
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: organizations that are really familiar with each other. It's weird

996
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: that they're you know, they play every single year and

997
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: it's kind of a flukey scheduled thing since they're out

998
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,959
Speaker 1: of division. They all seem to be on national TV

999
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 1: too because they're you know, two marquee franchises, big time

1000
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: players and obviously excellent teams. So I will see this.

1001
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: In the years I've been doing this, I think we

1002
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: had our most enjoyable player meeting of any player in

1003
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: the three years I've been doing this. Anyway, I was

1004
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: with Von Miller on Saturday, and Von just gave Josh.

1005
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: Allen's always great, but Von just Von just took it

1006
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: next level. As to the reasons he really came to Buffalo,

1007
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: and and winning was number one. And you know, I

1008
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: asked him about, you know, could Buffalo become a free

1009
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 1: agent destiny where people want to come, where people want

1010
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: to be in Buffalo, And he said, look, man, it's

1011
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: not about the restaurants, it's not about the stadium, it's

1012
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: not the market size, it's not the weather. He wants

1013
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: to win. And I hadn't heard him say this. Boy,

1014
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: if the Rams would not have won the Super Bowl,

1015
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: he thinks he would have stayed in Los Angeles. So

1016
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: I found that very interesting. There's one player in history,

1017
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: and I was shocked, but there's one player in history

1018
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: who's won the Super Bowl with three different franchises, and

1019
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: that's Matt Millen. Like you would have thought a backup

1020
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: linebacker or a backup guard or somebody got lucky, bounced

1021
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: around the right team at the right time and gotten that.

1022
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: So I think Vaughan really wants to be part of that.

1023
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: And when we brought that up, even Von said, you

1024
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: know what, Matt Millan didn't play in the postseason that

1025
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: last run with Washington, So Van's got a chance to

1026
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: do something here no one else has. It's obviously set up.

1027
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: It's a great spot Buffalo, and it feels like, you know,

1028
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the Denver career for Vaughan looked like,

1029
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he lost a step, maybe he wasn't

1030
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: the same guy, and he got up to a bit

1031
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: of a slow start in La. There's a monster down

1032
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: the stretch. Great in the postseason, and obviously you have

1033
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: to a good start with the post team. Yeah, and

1034
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: as he lands here in Buffalo, certainly he's right. I mean,

1035
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: if you're gonna try and pick a horse this offseason

1036
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: of where you'd love to play, Buffalo really seems to

1037
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: be the place to do it. And even we've had

1038
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: even one of the callers on today's show, We've had

1039
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: people call in all through the offseason worried about the

1040
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: incredible expectations placed on the Bills. You know that the

1041
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: high flying offensive they ended the season with. They put

1042
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: together an absolutely perfect game against the New England Patriots

1043
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Then they finished on maybe even a

1044
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: higher offensive note, coming back in Kansas City, scoring that

1045
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: touchdown with thirteen seconds left, and then starting out and

1046
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: lumping up the World champions in Week one of this season.

1047
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: So you're right, He's right. What do you make of

1048
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: the expectations and your experience? You know, almost there's only

1049
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: one team a year that can meet expectations or exceed them,

1050
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: like Cincinnati exceeded their expectations last year even though they

1051
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: didn't win it. What do you think? What effect do

1052
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: you think those expectations have on any organization, give or take,

1053
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, in whatever year you can talk about. So

1054
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely a factor. And McDermott told us

1055
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: yesterday it's real. I mean, they they're not trying to

1056
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: fool anyone. They know what is being said and what

1057
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: is out there, and then you try to, you know,

1058
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: control the noise. Nick Saban calls it rat poison, right,

1059
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: you don't want to let everything from the outside creep

1060
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: into your walls and you're in your building. So, uh,

1061
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: they're up against it. And that's why I got like

1062
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: von Miller to me, really helps, Right, he's been through it,

1063
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: he's been through the expectations. He can coach up some

1064
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: of the younger guys, but the pressure is on h

1065
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: This is a market where you know, you think Buffalo,

1066
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: you think of the bills. I mean, that's that's it.

1067
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: And this is a chance, really for the Bills to

1068
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: plant their flag as the class of the entire NFL.

1069
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's quite a statement. So Von

1070
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: even looked over his shoulder. We're in the practice bubble,

1071
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: you guys know obviously very well, and Von sort of

1072
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: looked over his should and said, we're looking to change

1073
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: those AFC championship banners into a Super Bowl banner. And

1074
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: so they're not afraid to talk about it. I think

1075
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: they know how good they are. And now it's a

1076
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: matter of week two. The schedule is weird, right, So

1077
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: you have a whole off season, you play the first game.

1078
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Now the Bills are sitting around for eleven days, right,

1079
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: that's weird right now? And you look next week and

1080
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: here comes the Dolphins and all of a sudden, you know,

1081
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: they're playing great football. So I think there are challenges

1082
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: every single week and it remains to be seen, you

1083
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: know how Buffalo can deal with that. But you know,

1084
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: expectations that have never been higher. Every single person on

1085
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: the planet is picking the Bills and Josh Allen and BMVP,

1086
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: and so that's just one more hurdle I think you

1087
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,479
Speaker 1: have to deal with. Last one I've got for you Steve,

1088
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: What is there a matchup tonight that's going to be well,

1089
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: I know you gotta call the action, but there is

1090
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: there a matchup there that's gonna be kind of catching

1091
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: your eye, maybe more than some of the others that

1092
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: are going to be out there on the field tonight. Yes,

1093
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, we got rookie cornerbacks both sides,

1094
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: both sides. Rookie corners are gonna take on a big role.

1095
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: And I think Jeffrey Simmons is also a monster. You know,

1096
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: no one else is Aaron Donald in the league, and

1097
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: I get that, and Buffalo, you know, did a pretty

1098
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: good job against him, but Simmons is probably the second guy.

1099
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: And you know, he's blown up offenses and offensive lines before,

1100
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: and so I think if you're looking in the interior,

1101
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: he's got to have a big game for Tennessee to

1102
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: hang around and make this a fourth quarter and that's

1103
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: and that's the formula where the Titans a successful What

1104
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: do you think this game turns out to even if

1105
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: it is a close game, and you can very easily

1106
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: see how this game could be one of those three

1107
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: point games. Last drive of the game kind of decided.

1108
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Do you think it's in the low twenties, high teens,

1109
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: low thirties, high thirties. Where do you think this game

1110
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: gets to? Yeah, maybe probably high twenties. You know. Listen,

1111
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo s quarter scored twenty seven points I think six

1112
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: seven consecutive games, you know, so a Buffalo thirties spots

1113
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,919
Speaker 1: seems seems automatic, and so you know, in my heart,

1114
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for a closed game. It's it's hard to

1115
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: imagine Tennessee scoring so much, so you know, maybe a

1116
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty four, twenty seven, twenty one kind of game. Listen,

1117
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo's offense is just is just on fire and clicking,

1118
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: and they seem to be better at just about every category.

1119
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Now again the concerted effort to establish the running game,

1120
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: and so you know, something like that high twenties. Again,

1121
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I can't see Tennessee putting up thirty on Buffalo. So

1122
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: that that's what I would say. And I think the

1123
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Bills are clearly the favorite. Titans are rarely double digit underdogs,

1124
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: and so Rayblo havn't ready, and hopefully we'll put on

1125
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: a good show for the folks, right, Steve, thanks for

1126
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: the time, good luck on the call tonight. And we'll

1127
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: catch up with you down the line. Enjoy the game,

1128
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: I look forward to Thanks for having me, young guys.

1129
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: Appreciate ESPN Watch Out for Traffic, ESPN Monday Night football

1130
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: play by play broadcasters Steve Leeve joining us here on

1131
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: the show on Game Day of all time, I appreciate

1132
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: them giving us some time on game day. You know,

1133
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: you're usually getting your final preparations in uh and you've

1134
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: got a lot to think about, So I appreciate him

1135
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: giving us some time there here on the show today.

1136
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: Um interesting that he was talking about some of the

1137
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: things I was curious, like what Vrabel was saying to him.

1138
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: You know when they get a chance to sit down

1139
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: with him and the players and you still look angry.

1140
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: This is my normal things that you know, they're gonna

1141
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: the Titans are gonna come out and just try and

1142
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: strong arm the Bills. There's no question. But yeah, they're

1143
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: gonna try to bully them up, and they're gonna say, hey,

1144
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: you want to mash tonight. That's right, They're gonna want to.

1145
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: They want to get in the trend. They're gonna run

1146
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 1: and just you know, it's one of those games. I

1147
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be like, you know, the Titans are

1148
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna come out and it's gonna be eight straight runs,

1149
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,439
Speaker 1: you know, kind of twelve straight runs to start the game,

1150
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, and and try and get some points out

1151
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: of them. They're gonna want to make it a rock fight.

1152
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna want to do. Yeah, they're gonna

1153
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be fighting with laser guns. They're gonna

1154
01:03:56,680 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: be fighting with clubs and sticks. Yeah, so we'll see.

1155
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 1: And that's that's their style. That's how they grind out games.

1156
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna try to get try to

1157
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,479
Speaker 1: draw the Bills into that kind of a matchup because

1158
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 1: they know that favors them certainly more than playing the

1159
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Bills way favors the Titans. So it's just it's a

1160
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: logical approach. Um, And I tend to agree with Steve

1161
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: that they're gonna run the tar out of the ball.

1162
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: They could be down ten nothing early. They're not gonna

1163
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: stop running the ball. They're just gonna keep on trucking.

1164
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: And yeah, they're gonna try and keep Josh off the field.

1165
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna shorten the game instead of making it a

1166
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: twelve or fourteen possession game. They're gonna try and make

1167
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: it an eight to ten possession game and do that

1168
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: and force the Bills to punt into you know, um,

1169
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: keep them out of their own end, try to anyway.

1170
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's that's the way they want to play it.

1171
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: And that's I think it's a smart way because you

1172
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: let the Bills and it'll be interesting their defensive philosophy

1173
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: against the Bills. Certainly, Simmons is a is a load.

1174
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, you know, if you'd take him

1175
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: out of the game, if you double him and get

1176
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: a hat on a hat everyplace else. Yeah, look out

1177
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: for Bud Dupree. He's a good pass you gotta but no,

1178
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Harold Landry, you gotta really worry how they're gonna keep

1179
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: Josh in this offense off the scoreboard. Yeah, and keep

1180
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: everything in front of them. Yeah. Let's get back to

1181
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: the phones, though, and ask you what you feel the

1182
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: key will be to a Bill's victory. Eight oh three,

1183
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one, eight five fifty two, five fifty

1184
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: the number to get on board, and we go to

1185
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: Michael and Melbourne next. What do you got for us? Michael, Hey, guys,

1186
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Sure Monday Night intro so

1187
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: I'll have me looking for the tables to jump through here,

1188
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: um for keys for the game. Watching the Titan shining

1189
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: scam last week, and besides sequon pretty much that's going

1190
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: through the defense on touch I think Ricky Richie James

1191
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: working out of the slot was torching them. So I

1192
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: see Isaiah and Crowder having big days out of the

1193
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,479
Speaker 1: spot today. Yeah, and also you're that go ahead. Sorry,

1194
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: you were talking about nicknames for Josh last week, and

1195
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: I think rich Eisenhof the best one I've been going with,

1196
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: and that's the Mandalorian quarterback. If you just put that

1197
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: helmet on and he just keeps coming at you and listen. Yeah,

1198
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: not bad. Good call, Mike, thanks for making it. Um. Yeah,

1199
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: the slot will be interesting. Richie James is a young

1200
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: slot receiver for the Giants who actually was eating into

1201
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: the playing time of some of their veteran receivers. And

1202
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: Dable's playing him because he's making plays. He's also their

1203
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: punt returner if I have it right. He's made a

1204
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: very favorable impression on the Giants and he was playing

1205
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: a lot and obviously the Titans didn't have any film

1206
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: on the kid, and he made some plays for them

1207
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: move the sticks kept the offense on the field, so

1208
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: gave him good field position in the return game. So yeah,

1209
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,439
Speaker 1: I understand why you're coming from where you are, Mike

1210
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: on that, and yeah, maybe I McKenzie and Jamison Crowder

1211
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: can have some success. We know that the Titans are

1212
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: already down one corner with Christian Fulton out, Steve, so

1213
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: that kind of moves everybody up a peg. So we'll

1214
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: see how they adjust. I think the key for this

1215
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: game is the Bill's ability to protect Josh Allen if

1216
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: he has time to throw the football. This game is

1217
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: not in doubt, never in doubt, but because of the

1218
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: Titans ability to pressure him, it isn't doubt. Well, we

1219
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: did talk though, Steve to blame Bishop last week covers

1220
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: the team got a radio showed down there in Nashville,

1221
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: and he said their pass rush is not the same

1222
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: without Harold Landry. Bud Dupree and Jeffrey Simmons are the

1223
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: two guys they're depending on, which is kind of like

1224
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: they're Ed Oliver and von Miller right now. And well,

1225
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that they quite measure up. Here's the

1226
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: thing too, I don't know how good the Giants are

1227
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know how ready to play. The Tennessee

1228
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: Titans were on Week one, you know, like maybe they

1229
01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, let's just get our feet under us

1230
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: and go and then then Giants hit him in the mouth.

1231
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 1: If if these teams are like we if are they

1232
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: if there are anything like the preseason perception of them,

1233
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: and the Giants are in a rebuilding year and they're

1234
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: thinking they're gonna win four or five games, and now

1235
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: they're two, and oh so they're gonna win you know more,

1236
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: maybe perhaps when people thought. But if those two teams

1237
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: are what they are, then the Bills should be okay

1238
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: up front, if their offensive line is significantly better than

1239
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 1: it was a year ago. Because let's face it, the

1240
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 1: guys who couldn't play for the Bills one of them

1241
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: starting center for the Giants, John Feliciano. So there is

1242
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 1: something in there that gives you some sense that maybe

1243
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: the Bills are better than people thought, and the Tennessee

1244
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: Titans aren't quite what they're looking like Against a tech

1245
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: giant team that's still rebuilding, we'll see, but I think

1246
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: that's the key. If the Bills protect Josh Allen. We've

1247
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: seen it too many times he's playing in two well

1248
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: at quarterback to have time in the pocket and throws

1249
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: it better or as well as anybody in the league

1250
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: with that arm. Eventually, there's just no stopping him. Yeah,

1251
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 1: So I think that's the key. The Tennessee Titans have

1252
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: got to get Josh Allen off his feet, and if

1253
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: they can do that, they got a chance. But if

1254
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: they give him time in the pocket, this game's going

1255
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: to get out of hand. Back to the phones we

1256
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: go and to Luke in Batavia. What do you got

1257
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: for us? Luke? Hey, how's it going? It's going good?

1258
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: What you got for us? We got to skip school

1259
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: today to go Tellgaton here. I'm with my friend. We

1260
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: got to skip school. We're on our way right now.

1261
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,759
Speaker 1: I think that the Bills are going to destroy the Titans.

1262
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that Derrick Nnry's going to be a

1263
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: factor like he has been in the past against the Bills.

1264
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: All right, I think we're gonna put up some big

1265
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: score against the Titans. It's going to be You think

1266
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be four quarters of celebration for the Bills. Huh, Yeah,

1267
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm thinking. I'm fair enough, You're skipping

1268
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: school for that, and we hope you're right, hope no

1269
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: truancy officers picked you up earlier today, A kid after

1270
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: my own heart. I shouldn't have said that I had.

1271
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: I had a buddy of mine he skipped school to

1272
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 1: go to the Big East basketball tournament in Madison Square

1273
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: Garden back then. And uh, he's there at the noon game,

1274
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: and we see him in school the next day. We go, hey,

1275
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: how was it because he skipped school? You know, he's

1276
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: skipped out. He goes, I got picked up by a

1277
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: truancy officer. I spent the day out at the station

1278
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: because like back then, if you were skipping school and

1279
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: they caught you, you know, like a truancy officer catches you,

1280
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 1: how come you out in school? Uh? You know he

1281
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 1: wasn't there with his parents or anything, so he had

1282
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: no no adult supervision, no adult supervision. ABC later he

1283
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: didn't watch a single game Want Want Yeah, that's yeah,

1284
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: that's rough. I mean, I got Bill's fans, and we

1285
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 1: all know the mafia is especially I got one quick

1286
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: story is all the guys that I know now are locals.

1287
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, I've been here for thirty plus years, so

1288
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 1: my friends are guys who grew up watching the team

1289
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: that I played for, and we have a lot of

1290
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: fun conversations about their experiences watching the teams that I

1291
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: was playing on in before and after and you know,

1292
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: telling me and they a group of them like that,

1293
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,719
Speaker 1: you know, skip school. But what their thing was Once

1294
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: a year, they gotta hop the fence. They gotta hop

1295
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: the fence, try and get in without using their tickets.

1296
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: And they go sitting their seasons and then they go

1297
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: SIT's sitting there season tickets. Why would they do that

1298
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: because it's you know, who knows why? I mean, why

1299
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: ask why. It's like the old beer commercial. That's the

1300
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: that's the mafia. If you got a thing, you gotta

1301
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: do if it's gonna help, if it's gonna mean something,

1302
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 1: because they did it when they were a kid. Bills

1303
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 1: get a big win. It's like one of them, I

1304
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: think was the nineteen eighty when they beat them Dolphins. Right,

1305
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: they had hoped the fence for that game. So from

1306
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: then on, once a year they got a hop. Yeah

1307
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: they had tickets. Oh yeah, they hit they have tickets,

1308
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 1: season tickets. A bunch of rigamaroles. Right, that's the mafia.

1309
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: But that's you know and that just like this kid

1310
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: is skipping school. I mean, yeah, me and my friend

1311
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: were you know, you just announced it over the airways.

1312
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't tell him who his friend's name.

1313
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: And we're going PS thirty four, we're skipping school and

1314
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 1: missus McLoughlin's class. Right. I said it was okay, She

1315
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: said it was okay. She said if it was her,

1316
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: she'd do the same thing. Right. Yes, that's where that's

1317
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,759
Speaker 1: the world we live in. Let's go to uh Clarence

1318
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:40,799
Speaker 1: and Buffalo next. What you got for his Clarence? Good afternoon,

1319
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: How are you, gentlemen? And did great? Good good? Um.

1320
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: One of the things that I feel this important tonight

1321
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: is that the bills fronts seven well, remember they may

1322
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: be they have to the initial tackler have to make contact.

1323
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: We can't go any further with this, which I call

1324
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: the ESPN tackles. You know where we've bumped the received,

1325
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: bumped the receivers or bump or running backs from whoever

1326
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,799
Speaker 1: it may be, and not make any full fledged tackles

1327
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: like grabbing and holding it until you get some help

1328
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: or maybe especially with the big backs that they have.

1329
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: So this is one of the things that I feel

1330
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 1: they need to be a little more physical upfront. And

1331
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: the other part of the defenses is that if we

1332
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: have we have a lead, let's not going to that

1333
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,759
Speaker 1: prevent defense to let them just waste time or whatever

1334
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 1: it may be. I think the best thing for any

1335
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: team is that when you've got a lead, you know,

1336
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: get them three and out like we've been doing. Get

1337
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: them three and out, get the ball back, because if

1338
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: you can run the football, then you can be taking

1339
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: the time off the clock on yourself. I'll hang up

1340
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: and let you guys say, what on your mind. Yeah, no,

1341
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: that's that's a good call, Clarence. I actually think the

1342
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 1: key of the game is the same as yours. The

1343
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: Bills flat out have to match the physicality of the

1344
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: Titans because they, like we said, they kind of want

1345
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: to turn it into a grudge match, and you've got

1346
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 1: to match the intensity. You can't back down from that

1347
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 1: just because that might not be the way you play football.

1348
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to change the way you play to

1349
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: win a football game. That's temperament has completely flipped the

1350
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: script on maybe what you wanted to do. It's sometimes

1351
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: you get the feeling it's hard to beat a team

1352
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: that wants to play that way because it's something you

1353
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: have to meet them, you, I mean, you have to

1354
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: meet them where they're at. Even if you're going to

1355
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: be a finesse team, your offensive line has to do

1356
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: enough to hold them off of your skill players, even

1357
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: if they're doing all this ball handling in the backfield

1358
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,480
Speaker 1: or defensively especially, you have to match the physical defensively,

1359
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: you have to match the physicality. And it's not just

1360
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: about throwing eight guys in the box against a run

1361
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 1: game and going one on one on the outside with

1362
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: some rookie or under experienced wide receivers. You gotta you

1363
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 1: could have nineteen, you can have ten guys in the box.

1364
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 1: If they're playing physical and you're not, they're gonna wine.

1365
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 1: You've got to And it's like the caller said, you

1366
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 1: gotta hit them, and you got you gotta make your press.

1367
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: You gotta make them flinch, you know a little bit.

1368
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: You gotta meet them with as much force and intent

1369
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 1: as they have, and sometimes that's hard to do. I said,

1370
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 1: that's I believe that's why Baltimore lost the game yesterday

1371
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins. They they absolutely hammered them early

1372
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: in that game, they got up and they were up

1373
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:41,600
Speaker 1: twenty one points late, and couldn't you know, they just

1374
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: when't they thought they had the game won, and they

1375
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: just took a breath. They just said, okay, now, all right,

1376
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: let's just get out of here. And they let up.

1377
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 1: And that was it. When you do that, you couldn't

1378
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: get it back again. And Miami wasn't letting up, and

1379
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: they all start they just start making hay and you

1380
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: can't stop that momentum once it gets started. So I

1381
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,600
Speaker 1: think you know, it's a real thing, no question about it.

1382
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: It's a real thing in the NFL. You gotta meet

1383
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: them with the same physicality and same emotional content or

1384
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna get run off the field. And that has

1385
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: left up to the big guys up front. Break time

1386

01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: phones we go, and Batton lead off in this segment

1401
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: is Frank and williams Ville. What do you got for us? Frank,

1402
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: you're all one, Bills live. Well. As far as the

1403
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: key for tonight, just let Josh Allen go and they'll

1404
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 1: win that game. I don't know. I don't think people

1405
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: realize yet how good he is. I'm putt. Let put

1406
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 1: it this way. If there's another league above the NFL

1407
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: and they had their draft today, who's gonna be the

1408
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: first check? Josh Allen? I mean there's no quarterback that

1409
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 1: Scott when he's got in the league. Um, I mean

1410
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: inside the fifth the yard line tonight, it's gonna be

1411
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:46,600
Speaker 1: four down territory for the Bills. He's turning up his

1412
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: performances into a new way to play the game. Yeah,

1413
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you guys, one of the real quick

1414
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:54,640
Speaker 1: pick questions. Okay, Um, I watched several games yesterday with

1415
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: fours and inches and the offenses that failed to naked. Um,

1416
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: if we had a four should say the goal line

1417
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: like good last year? Why didn't take a intentional offsides?

1418
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 1: Get that five yards acting at six yards and there's

1419
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: some room to work with and yeah, and a potential

1420
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: like up two pointers? Well yeah, I get it. Um,

1421
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: it depends. I mean you could make a case for

1422
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,640
Speaker 1: like if you're on if you're fourth and inches on

1423
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 1: the goal line or whatever, having more space. I've said this.

1424
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: There was a play in the Bill's repertoire I saw

1425
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: them run against. It might have been against the Tennessee

1426
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 1: team where or it might have been, Oh, I think

1427
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: it was against New England when they were in New

1428
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 1: England once where Josh took a snap uh down deep

1429
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: it's like inside the five yard line and then backed

1430
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: up like to the fifteen and kept going back in

1431
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 1: order to force the pass rush to come at him

1432
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 1: and give them more space behind them between the back line.

1433
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: And it was it was a really good concept. I

1434
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: only saw him do it once and maybe because it

1435
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: didn't work, they kind of and it. Maybe Josh didn't

1436
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: like it or whatever, But there is something to be

1437
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: said for that. But if it's fourth and inches, it

1438
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: dictates a little bit that the defense has to pack

1439
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,639
Speaker 1: it in around the ball, and if you've got real

1440
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: skill players on the outside, even with less space, it

1441
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: just gives them more room. So I get it. It's

1442
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: you could try it, but I think you know, fourth

1443
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 1: and inches is I think much better and much easier

1444
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: to make than fourth and five and inches, So I

1445
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: get your where your head's at, giving yourself more room. Yeah,

1446
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 1: but if it's for a first down or for a

1447
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: goal or a touchdown, yeah, I think you take the

1448
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: short yardage, in the shortest yardage you can get, you know.

1449
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, I'm I get what you mean. But

1450
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I don't think I would do it. I

1451
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 1: don't think many coaches would either. Benny in Recita, California,

1452
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Live. What do you got, sir?

1453
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,599
Speaker 1: I just hope that the Bills start fast. You guys,

1454
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: remember last Thursday against the Round they started kind of slow,

1455
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: but then on the same can get strong and so

1456
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 1: hopefully so now I just start fast and just get

1457
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: the foot on the gas and now hopefully we'll get

1458
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: that to you tonight. Yeah, I mean, if you're right,

1459
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 1: there was ever a question, look at the comebacks from yesterday.

1460
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: Don't take your foot off the gas. I mean, if

1461
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 1: you got a team down, step on their throat and

1462
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 1: end the thing. Don't ease up and say, all right,

1463
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: we got this in the bag. Let's just play out

1464
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 1: the last twenty minutes. Yeah, exactly. You don't need a reminder.

1465
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Just look exactly exactly. And that's just one of the

1466
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: things that I'm sure Sean McDermott will mention that to

1467
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: his team today in their pregame meeting and say, you know, guys,

1468
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: this game goes sixty minutes. Don't ever let your guard down,

1469
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: particularly against a really good team like this, And that's

1470
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, that's what it's going to be. They're playing

1471
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: a really good team tonight. The Titans are good, I

1472
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: mean really good. They're different than they were a year ago. Yes,

1473
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,679
Speaker 1: but Tannehill can still sling it really good. In fact,

1474
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, he would have the second best arm in

1475
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: the AFC East if the Titans were in the division.

1476
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: The guy can sling it. That's why he's been a

1477
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: quarterback for as long as he haven't has in the NFL.

1478
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: So uh, he can make all the throws and and

1479
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 1: he's you got to defend a bigger field with him

1480
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: under center than you do other guys that the team

1481
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: has played. Tannehill can beat you with his legs, he

1482
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,560
Speaker 1: can beat you with his arm. And it'll be be

1483
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: how good the guys are around him as to how

1484
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: formidable they are as the season wears on. But man,

1485
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: old man, you got to know their quarterback is savvy.

1486
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: He's a veteran and he's still got some gas in

1487
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: the tank, and he's got the best running back in

1488
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 1: the league. It's gonna it's gonna be a hard game.

1489
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a hard game. Yeah, he I mean

1490
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: he can buy time. I mean, people forget Tannehill's got

1491
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,839
Speaker 1: some athleticism. He can extend plays, make plays off script,

1492
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 1: and he can still spend the thing. He's got an arm. Listen,

1493
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 1: if you're worried about letting your gas off when you're

1494
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: up three touchdowns, you know, yeah, let's give us all

1495
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: this the chance. You know, give me, give me give

1496
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: me the opportunity to blow that. Yeah, give me an

1497
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: opportunity to blow a twenty one point lead inside the

1498
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 1: two minute. I'll take it. I will take it. So um,

1499
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, if that's if that's what you're

1500
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: worried about, good for you, Bless your heart. I'm worried

1501
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:19,560
Speaker 1: about it being twenty one points down, not twelve. You know.

1502
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to get there, so we'll see. But that, yeah,

1503
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: that would be a great problem to have. Back to

1504
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: the phones and to Grant north of the border in Ottawa,

1505
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:32,480
Speaker 1: what do you got for us, Grant? Yeah, guys him.

1506
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: One of the things that I really believe in is

1507
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: the Tremaine Edmonds is going to be one of the

1508
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: keys tonight and his ability to shed blocks because once

1509
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: Derek Henry gets passed one of the tackles in the middle,

1510
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: if he's not available, then it goes wide open, right um.

1511
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 1: Part of the reason the Bills made the defensive line

1512
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:01,799
Speaker 1: investment that they did this offseason, namely and Jordan Phillips,

1513
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: Tim Settle and de Kwon Jones, was to keep guys

1514
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 1: like Tremaine Edmond's clean by not letting offensive lineman get

1515
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: to the second level and get get on Tremaine Edmonds.

1516
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,719
Speaker 1: Now there are ways you can scheme that to still

1517
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:21,640
Speaker 1: get lineman on linebackers. I wonder what their approach is

1518
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: going to be, like, do they try to stretch the

1519
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 1: Bills and get them moving or is it just plow

1520
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 1: the thing straight ahead because they think they're better. That's

1521
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: going to be what I'm looking for in the early going.

1522
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:33,880
Speaker 1: We all know they're going to try to run the

1523
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: ball and run it over and over and over, but

1524
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: by what means scheme wise? Are they going to try

1525
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 1: to do that right? And that's you know, one of

1526
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: the things that's one of the reasons why we're so

1527
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:48,600
Speaker 1: concerned with that Oliver being out and Tim Settle being questionable.

1528
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,759
Speaker 1: You know, Edmonds is always a key cog in this defense.

1529
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: He always has been, and Bills fans have been kind

1530
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: of down split one side or the other where they

1531
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 1: like him or they don't like him. Um. I think

1532
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: the acid test is that when you talk to people

1533
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 1: with other teams, they respect the guy, they think he

1534
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: can really play, he's a problem for them. And whether

1535
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: Bills fans thinks he missed tackles or missus easy plays

1536
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 1: or hits the wrong gap in the defense or what

1537
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, going down the list of whatever, all the

1538
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 1: stuff we've heard on our show. He's a really good player,

1539
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: and he gets voted to the Pro Bowl a lot

1540
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: by his peers and by by fans. So yes, he

1541
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 1: is always a huge part of what this defense does.

1542
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: And not only is he a huge part of it,

1543
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 1: he's also he's the bell cow. He calls those signals.

1544
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 1: People hear his voice in that huddle, those defensive guys. Um,

1545
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 1: he's a calming influence in there. He's a leader, and

1546
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: you know he's he's an old wiley veteran at twenty four. Yeah,

1547
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: we are all over the country today, Steve. We're now

1548
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 1: going to Chuck in Minnesota. What do you got for us, Chuck? Yeah.

1549
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 1: I was actually at the game last week and one

1550
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: of the things that was interesting to me was one

1551
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: of the things they didn't use, which they did last year,

1552
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: was tempo. And I think part of it was so

1553
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: hot it probably a hundred threads down the field. I

1554
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 1: wondering if they'll use that maybe tonight, you know, in

1555
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 1: essence to throw them off bounce a little bit. Yeah,

1556
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 1: I mean we saw that pretty frequently with Brian day

1557
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: ball when he was the offensive coordinator here, they didn't

1558
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 1: really I'm trying to remember. I thought they ran up

1559
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage on one particular series last week,

1560
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 1: but it's it's escaping my memory as too exactly when

1561
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: that was. But for the most part, yeah, you're right,

1562
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: they didn't really rely on tempo all that much. I

1563
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: thought it was less noticeable because their focus last week,

1564
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: Steve was to get out of the huddle fast, so

1565
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 1: they weren't necessarily using tempo after a big play, all right,

1566
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: let's run up to the line, no huddle, let's go.

1567
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:52,680
Speaker 1: But they were in the huddle and then breaking the

1568
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: huddle really quick. I try to keep track of that

1569
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: and make a mental note of it as I'm charting

1570
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 1: the game. And last year, the year before, typically they

1571
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 1: break the huddle nineteen eighteen seventeen seconds left on the

1572
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 1: play clock. Last week against the Rams routinely Steve breaking

1573
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: the huddle at twenty three twenty two seconds left on

1574
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: the play clock, which is earlier than it had been

1575
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 1: in the past. Like Dorsey was calling it, and let's

1576
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 1: go right right, that probably doesn't count, they lumpo. But no,

1577
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,640
Speaker 1: But I also heard that It was one of the

1578
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 1: things that the players noticed, and you're looking for a

1579
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 1: big difference in how things were, you know, a new

1580
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 1: new guy called on the plays and all that. One

1581
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 1: of the thing, the thing that I heard that they

1582
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: noticed first and foremost was it consistently they were snapping

1583
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: the huddle quick or just getting right to the line

1584
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: and going from there. They weren't hurrying, but they would

1585
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: get out of the huddle really quick, go up to

1586
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 1: the line without really having a solid play called, or

1587
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: at least one play, but then some options called. And

1588
01:26:58,040 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: this is that's all rehearsed, and it's all ready to go,

1589
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, before the you know, before the game. That's

1590
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: what they prepare for. So they would get up to

1591
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 1: the line and force the defense to declare what it

1592
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: was thinking, at least in a basic level, very early

1593
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: in the play clock, and that until the play clock

1594
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: gets to fifteen. Ken Dorsey has an open line of

1595
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 1: communication with Josh, so Josh is looking at the same

1596
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: defense Ken Dorsey is, and Dorsey's talking to him the

1597
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 1: whole time, saying, until the ball gets down to fifteen,

1598
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, until the clock gets down to fifteen, not

1599
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 1: the ball, but so they're having an on Josh Allen's

1600
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 1: got that voice. Ken Dorsey's telling him what he's thinking

1601
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 1: to what he's looking at. And they have talked and

1602
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,879
Speaker 1: watched enough film and had enough meetings together and countless

1603
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: conversations over the last three years. Josh knows exactly why

1604
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 1: he's saying and what he's doing, so, you know, and

1605
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,560
Speaker 1: with Dorsey's point of view from the booth and his

1606
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 1: knowledge of Josh and Josh's knowledge of Ken Dorsey, the

1607
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: thing that everybody noticed about what it was going to

1608
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 1: be like without Brian Dable was that it happened a

1609
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: lot faster than than they were used to. Yeah, and

1610
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: that is big, really big break time for us here

1611
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 1: when we come back, more of your phone calls. You

1612
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: give us the key to a Bill's victory over the Titans. Tonight,

1613
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: we're back in a moment here on one Bill's Live,

1614
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

1615
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: we continue to criss cross the country with your phone calls.

1616
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: At eight oh three five fifty one, eight five fifty two,

1617
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 1: five fifty we go now to Lewis in Denver. What

1618
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,799
Speaker 1: do you got for us? Lewis? You're on one Bills Live, Henny,

1619
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 1: how are you guys today? Good? What do you got

1620
01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: for us? Good? Hey? I was just hoping that the

1621
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,799
Speaker 1: team is not as overconfident as the fan base seems

1622
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 1: to be. Every I've been listening to the show, all

1623
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,640
Speaker 1: the colors seem to think this is going to be

1624
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm all concerned about that. I think, as Steve said,

1625
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, Gabriel Davis might be down to settle

1626
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: and at Oliver down until we prove it on the

1627
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 1: field against this team, I'm gonna have to see it first, right,

1628
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 1: And as Steve said earlier in the show, I don't

1629
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 1: think you have to worry about the team taking that

1630
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 1: approach because coach McDermott simply doesn't let them. They are

1631
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: laser focused each and every week. Now, that doesn't mean

1632
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 1: they're guaranteed to play their level best every single week.

1633
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 1: We saw it happened last year. But I know it's

1634
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 1: only one game, Steve. But for me, there is a

1635
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:48,560
Speaker 1: seriousness to this team that I don't know if I

1636
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: even saw last year. And I guess what I mean

1637
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: by that is this team this year seems to be

1638
01:29:56,560 --> 01:30:01,480
Speaker 1: on more of a mission where it is is military

1639
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 1: like precision focus, execution approach that I don't know if

1640
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: we saw every single week last year. And again it

1641
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee anything, but I think the lessons of the

1642
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 1: past have been painful and are serving as harsh weekly

1643
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 1: reminders that you cannot let up for even any amount

1644
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:36,160
Speaker 1: of time, as they experienced painfully at the end of

1645
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 1: their playoff run last year. I think it has hardened

1646
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 1: them and it has made them a more if it's possible,

1647
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: a more driven group to cross every t and dot

1648
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:52,560
Speaker 1: every eye. Yeah. I mean they they've been in the

1649
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game and then they've been fallen short. It

1650
01:30:56,439 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 1: has been bitter end to really fun seasons and each

1651
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 1: of the last two years. Yeah, we're up sixteen nothing

1652
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: on the test. This is a team that needs to

1653
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 1: close the deal, and more so than any other. I

1654
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: hear it all the time. That's why they signed a

1655
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: guy like von Miller. And I've said it before in

1656
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 1: the show when they signed Vaughan. You know the five

1657
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 1: President's tech sloop that I'm on. Bruce Smith is on

1658
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,479
Speaker 1: their right away going that's the guy that can close

1659
01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:30,479
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds out. Yeah, that's the guy that they don't

1660
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 1: get that all, that's the guy. And then he's also

1661
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,120
Speaker 1: that's the guy that they win the AC championship game

1662
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 1: in Kansas City two years ago, because that's the guy

1663
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 1: that closes out games like that. And you know, the

1664
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 1: Rams game was an indication that he's probably right. You

1665
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 1: got to have a guy like that. You got to

1666
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: have somebody on defense step up and make a play.

1667
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:51,639
Speaker 1: Our defense was number one in the league last year,

1668
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:55,599
Speaker 1: but they lack the ability to be stifling at any point.

1669
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: They always made the team go work hard to score

1670
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 1: and they let up fewer point points, fewer yards, all

1671
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 1: of that stuff. They did that all year, but they

1672
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 1: were not spectacular. They weren't turnovers, they weren't sacks, they

1673
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 1: weren't splash plays at all. The splashiest play they made

1674
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 1: all year was Micah Hides interception in the end zone

1675
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:15,479
Speaker 1: and a in a playoff game where the offense was perfect,

1676
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:18,120
Speaker 1: didn't eat it anyway. You know, that was the splashiest

1677
01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 1: really play they made all year. And that's it. So

1678
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 1: already you've got two or three of those and on

1679
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 1: this team this year. Dane Jackson had an interception last

1680
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 1: week and Vaughn had three sacks. Another three or four

1681
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 1: other guys had a sack sack and a half. I mean,

1682
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,599
Speaker 1: so it's a different world this year than it has been,

1683
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 1: and in large measure it's because you got a guy

1684
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball that can close

1685
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 1: it out. And not only can he close it out,

1686
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 1: he can allow other guys to flourish, to flourish. So

1687
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: we'll see. But you're right. The lessons this team has

1688
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 1: learned in getting to the point where the expectations are

1689
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:56,639
Speaker 1: what they are. They're hard fought and they're tough lessons.

1690
01:32:56,760 --> 01:33:01,040
Speaker 1: They're like gut wrenching lessons. These guys. You know, I've

1691
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 1: lived through lessons like that. I've lived through tough seasons

1692
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 1: like that, let alone tough games, and all these guys

1693
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:08,559
Speaker 1: are it's gonna be thrown at them all the time

1694
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:11,560
Speaker 1: until they get over the hump. Yeah, we have to

1695
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: take a break here. When we come back, though, we're

1696
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna be joined by Michael Robinson, NFL network analyst and

01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:25,599
Speaker 1: N FL Network analyst Michael Robbinson, You got your water

1705
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 1: buffalo hat ready? Are we ready to roll? Here? Mike?

1706
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: Where do we got going? I'm ready to go, man.

1707
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 1: I feel like it's going to be an epic night

1708
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 1: for Bills Mafia. Let's get it. Yeah, this is a

1709
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:38,439
Speaker 1: game where these two teams play every I mean it

1710
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: would say every year. Last four years they've played. They're

1711
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:42,679
Speaker 1: not in the division together, but they seem to cross

1712
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 1: paths because of the way they've both been playing. They've

1713
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 1: been on an uptick the last four years, playoffs all

1714
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:50,560
Speaker 1: of those times, and most of those times anyway, and

1715
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 1: this is no different. The Bills win the first two,

1716
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 1: now the Titans have won the last two. That game

1717
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:58,800
Speaker 1: last year came down to a fourth down slip and

1718
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, fourth down an inches call that didn't go

1719
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 1: to Bill's way. It's just one of those games that

1720
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,759
Speaker 1: you feel like, you know, Tennessee, this is their kitchen.

1721
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,040
Speaker 1: They play in close games all the time the Bills

1722
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:13,640
Speaker 1: they win going away a lot of the times. How

1723
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 1: do you think that plays out tonight? Yeah, definitely, you

1724
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:20,720
Speaker 1: gotta get your hands on Derrick Henry King Henry when

1725
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:23,760
Speaker 1: you look at Bills Mafia, the Buffalo Bill's defense, look

1726
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 1: at last year that big seventy six yard run, the

1727
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 1: fact that he had twenty carries, one hundred and forty

1728
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,680
Speaker 1: three yards, three touchdowns. So first and foremost, when you're

1729
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: playing to Tennessee Titans, it's all about hitting Ken Henry

1730
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 1: King Henry and getting him down to the ground and

1731
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: getting him hit or or getting quick penetration before he

1732
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 1: gets to the second level. Because when that guy gets

1733
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 1: to the second level, I mean, I mean he's tough

1734
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:49,479
Speaker 1: to tackle for not only linebackers, but for definitely defensive

1735
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,720
Speaker 1: backs and things like that. But when I look at

1736
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 1: this defense, obviously you got your Von Miller's and Gregory

1737
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 1: Russo's on the outside. Now they're gonna have to be playmakers.

1738
01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 1: They're definitely gonna have to be able to hold the point,

1739
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 1: hold the edge, not allow King Henry or any of

1740
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 1: the Titans running backs to get outside, but keep a

1741
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 1: free arm, right, they keep a free arm on the edge,

1742
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:11,519
Speaker 1: they can be able to be a playmaker and make

1743
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 1: the plays. And then obviously guys I can talk about

1744
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 1: him every single week, but great defense starts with the

1745
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:20,920
Speaker 1: defensive tackle position. You talk about day Kuan Jones, you

1746
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 1: talk about Jordan Phillips, Ed Oliver, Tim Suttle, especially a

1747
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 1: guy like Tim Suttle who can come off the bench

1748
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 1: and still provide, still provide that penetration, still provide that

1749
01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 1: quick penetration to stop King Henry as he gets through

1750
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmer. So to me that that's going

1751
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,559
Speaker 1: to be the key tonight at the Buffalo Bills offense,

1752
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 1: that we can continue to put up points, score points

1753
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:44,719
Speaker 1: and put the pressure back on the Tennessee Titans offense

1754
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 1: and forced Ryan Tannehill to try to beat the Bills

1755
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 1: with his arm. To me, that's when this game will

1756
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 1: be turning into the Bill's favor. Yeah, Bills fans are

1757
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,560
Speaker 1: a little concerned, you know, with Ed Oliver out with

1758
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:58,960
Speaker 1: the ankle injury. Tim Settle is doubtful with the calf injury.

1759
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 1: Looks like they're gonna have to call some guys up

1760
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 1: from the practice squad. Brandon Brian, a fourth year player,

1761
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 1: maybe Shack Lawson, who is a good edge setter, is

1762
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 1: part of the equation tonight. But my focus here, Mike,

1763
01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:17,120
Speaker 1: is more on the mental philosophy and approach. When you

1764
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,600
Speaker 1: know you're playing a team like the Titans who like

1765
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 1: to muck it up. They like to muck up games.

1766
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:26,599
Speaker 1: They're not finesse in any way, shape or form. How

1767
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:33,080
Speaker 1: do you what kind of like mental and physical courage

1768
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 1: do you have to kind of must up to know

1769
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in a sixty minute rock fight with

1770
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 1: them when you're lining up against them on defense. Well,

1771
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:43,840
Speaker 1: I have to remind our listeners and our viewers of

1772
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,080
Speaker 1: people watching this interview, it is football, right, just right.

1773
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 1: This is a contact sport, right, So you have to

1774
01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:53,800
Speaker 1: be ready for contact and be ready to have a

1775
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 1: physical encounter every single time you step step on the

1776
01:37:57,040 --> 01:38:00,240
Speaker 1: football field. But at the end of the day, you know,

1777
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 1: I would trying to lean on kind of that Peat

1778
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 1: Carroll philosophy where we used to talk about this It's

1779
01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 1: really not about them, It's about what we do. It's

1780
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 1: about how we operate. It's about how we operate our defenses,

1781
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:14,680
Speaker 1: about how we operate offense and special teams, and I

1782
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 1: truly believe that if the Bills and Leslie Fraser's defense

1783
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:21,880
Speaker 1: can play a little bit less to you know, to

1784
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 1: safety high, maybe one safety high. Really insert that safety

1785
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 1: whether it's Micah Hid or Jordan Player, either one of them.

1786
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:30,680
Speaker 1: Both of them are great tacklers. Insert those guys in

1787
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 1: the box and make them playmakers. Man Send them sometimes,

1788
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 1: send them on a week side blitz. Sometimes send them

1789
01:38:35,200 --> 01:38:38,680
Speaker 1: on a strong side blitz. Sometimes just to mess up

1790
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:41,639
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Tennessee Titans. But I started

1791
01:38:41,680 --> 01:38:43,960
Speaker 1: by saying, it's really not about the other team. We

1792
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 1: used to always talk about it being about us. Now, yes,

1793
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans are a physical bunch, but at the

1794
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:51,240
Speaker 1: end of the day, if the Buffalo Bills go out

1795
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 1: and do what they do, this game won't be close.

1796
01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 1: And I think if they have that in their minds,

1797
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:58,720
Speaker 1: that is the mental hurdle. So to Speaker, there's the

1798
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 1: mental that's the mental vantage that I think the Buffalo

1799
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 1: Bills will have in this game. In this game, how

1800
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,120
Speaker 1: likely do you think it is? Because we both we

1801
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 1: both we kind of all see the same the game

1802
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:09,760
Speaker 1: the same way. It's like the Bills shouldn't line up

1803
01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 1: defensively to dare the Tennessee Titans to throw it every down,

1804
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:16,720
Speaker 1: and you feel like the Titans will line up and

1805
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 1: invite the Bills to take the ball out of Josh

1806
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,240
Speaker 1: Allen's hands and hand it off every time, you know

1807
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:23,720
Speaker 1: what I mean? So you can you can kind of

1808
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,720
Speaker 1: do that with your defensive alignment a light box for

1809
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:29,479
Speaker 1: the Titans. You know, not enough guys play, looks like

1810
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 1: coverage stays coverage, So invite him to hand it off

1811
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 1: to Devin Singletary shorten the game. That weighing on the

1812
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Bill side, just the opposite. You're like nineteen guys in

1813
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 1: the box, you know, say hand it off. You know

1814
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:42,640
Speaker 1: what I mean is there is there a little bit

1815
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:46,040
Speaker 1: of that. I totally agree with you. I think it's

1816
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:50,439
Speaker 1: exactly that. And I do think in years past with

1817
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 1: coach day Ball that maybe the Bills would have forced

1818
01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 1: thrown the football in those situations. But I do think

1819
01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 1: what I've seen in Week one and talking to guys

1820
01:39:59,880 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 1: up in there and hearing what Ken Dorsey wants to

1821
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:04,599
Speaker 1: do with the football, yeah, I know it's it may

1822
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: be almost you know, it may be almost taboo to

1823
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 1: take the ball out of Josh Allen's hands. But if

1824
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 1: a team is gonna play too safety high and just say, hey,

1825
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 1: we're only gonna keep six guys in the box running

1826
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:17,560
Speaker 1: if you want to, I do think Devin Singletary and

1827
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:20,479
Speaker 1: you know James cooking those guys and then Zach Moss

1828
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 1: they can win the game running the football. So let's

1829
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:27,759
Speaker 1: let's kind of look at this, because when it's tight,

1830
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 1: that's just where the Titans want to be. They love

1831
01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 1: tight ball game. Six of their twelve wins last year

1832
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 1: or by three points or less, including the one over

1833
01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 1: the Bills last year, and the Bills have now won

1834
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: nineteen in a row by double digits. So there's a

1835
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,920
Speaker 1: different formula here at work for each of these two teams.

1836
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:51,760
Speaker 1: We know coach Rabel likes it messy and coach McDermott

1837
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 1: would prefer they have their foot on the gas and

1838
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 1: run teams out of the building. I know you, you're

1839
01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,680
Speaker 1: sounding pretty confident that the Bills are just gonna be

1840
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 1: able to take care of business. Obviously, the oddsmakers in

1841
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 1: Vegas agree with you, because they're giving him ten points

1842
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 1: to the Titans, which is rare even for a Titans team.

1843
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 1: So what kind of gives you the confidence that it

1844
01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 1: will play out the way the Vegas oddmakers see it. Well,

1845
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:22,439
Speaker 1: a couple of things. First and foremost, I think, and

1846
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, we, guys, man, this is a team interview, right,

1847
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say we okay, I feel like we got

1848
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 1: the baddest man on the planet, a quarterback. And when

1849
01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:35,760
Speaker 1: you have one of those guys, there's only like five

1850
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:39,360
Speaker 1: or six teams international Football League that can say and

1851
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:41,840
Speaker 1: boast that they have one of those guys. I don't

1852
01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:44,800
Speaker 1: care if this is a perfect game for the Bills.

1853
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't care if this is a messy game. I

1854
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,640
Speaker 1: don't care what this looks like. I don't care if

1855
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has to throw the ball sixty times, I

1856
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball twenty times. He's gonna affect

1857
01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 1: this game in a positive way. He's gonna be able

1858
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 1: to bring his team back if he needs to. He's

1859
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,519
Speaker 1: gonna be able to manage the game if he needs to. Right,

1860
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 1: and then he has that running ability. And when your

1861
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:06,600
Speaker 1: quarterback can run the football, it forces true eleven on

1862
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:09,639
Speaker 1: eleven football. Force is true eleven on eleven football. Even

1863
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 1: the best defenses in our history in NFL's history always

1864
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:16,639
Speaker 1: had an extra guy because they never really defend the quarterback.

1865
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,040
Speaker 1: When you have a guy like Josh Allen, you really,

1866
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:21,840
Speaker 1: you really can't operate that way. That's what gives me

1867
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 1: the confidence. It does. And then at the end of

1868
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 1: the day, when you look at how Ryan Tannehill finished

1869
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 1: last season, finished last season throwing picks number one seed,

1870
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:33,640
Speaker 1: got out of the playoffs early. You look at how

1871
01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:37,879
Speaker 1: they lost to the New York Giants last week. Nobody

1872
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,040
Speaker 1: gave the New York Giants anything. They thought they were

1873
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:41,599
Speaker 1: going to be last in the division. Now the New

1874
01:42:41,680 --> 01:42:44,920
Speaker 1: York Giants or two, I know they're looking to be formidable.

1875
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: But you know, last week, at the end of the day,

1876
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:49,519
Speaker 1: everybody in the world knew se Kwan was going to

1877
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:51,720
Speaker 1: get the football at the end of the game for

1878
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:53,920
Speaker 1: that two point conversion, and the Titans knew it and

1879
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:57,120
Speaker 1: they still couldn't stop it. So all of those factors, yeah,

1880
01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident that whether the game is closed, whatever

1881
01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: the case, maybe I think the Buffalo Bills will end

1882
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:04,719
Speaker 1: up the winner on tonight's game. And you think about

1883
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 1: how this league is gonna win, and there's so much

1884
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:08,680
Speaker 1: we don't know before the season starts. We all kind

1885
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:11,160
Speaker 1: of project what the team was last year onto what

1886
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:13,800
Speaker 1: the team's gonna be this year, and most of the

1887
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,920
Speaker 1: time that's not quite right, and sometimes it's really wrong.

1888
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:19,439
Speaker 1: What do you see yesterday? They got teams. You've got

1889
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 1: all these teams coming from double digit deficits. The Arizona

1890
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: Cardinals did it, the Jets did it, the Dolphins did it.

1891
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:29,360
Speaker 1: What do you see? What is your thoughts? You know

1892
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:31,840
Speaker 1: the Week two is it wraps up tonight and with

1893
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,000
Speaker 1: two games we have not seen? What do you think

1894
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:38,960
Speaker 1: about the NFL on Week two coming into twenty two season? Yeah? Um,

1895
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:41,760
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, man, And I know this

1896
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:43,800
Speaker 1: doesn't bode well for us with this team being in

1897
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 1: our division, but those with that Miami Dolphins team. Man,

1898
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: is this something about him? You know? I've called Tayrek

1899
01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:56,439
Speaker 1: Hill the most important non quarterback skill position player in

1900
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:58,719
Speaker 1: the National Football League. I believe he is. I believe

1901
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 1: he means that much. You see what he did to

1902
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:04,799
Speaker 1: that offense and what he did to the Ravens defense yesterday,

1903
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Just the space he

1904
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 1: adds to that offense. The space he's added to the

1905
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:14,280
Speaker 1: offense has opened up more opportunities for Jalen Waddle. They're

1906
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 1: able to run the football because their play caller and

1907
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:20,040
Speaker 1: head coach wants to be a physical group. And now

1908
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:24,120
Speaker 1: you're seeing you're seeing Tour being able to function the office.

1909
01:44:24,160 --> 01:44:25,920
Speaker 1: I still don't think too has the biggest arm in

1910
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 1: the league, but he is an NFL quarterback. He can

1911
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: get it down field. He can get it to the guys.

1912
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:34,760
Speaker 1: So just looking across the league, Miami Dolphins scare me,

1913
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 1: and they scare me because I'm a Bill's mofia, I'm

1914
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:39,080
Speaker 1: Bills fan. And at the end of the day, yeah,

1915
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna continue to keep my eyes on those guys

1916
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,560
Speaker 1: because they played a really good little beat up but

1917
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: they played a really good Baltimore Ravens team and you know,

1918
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:49,160
Speaker 1: a round halftime, I didn't give those guys a chance

1919
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:50,880
Speaker 1: of winning. They came back and win the game. Yeah,

1920
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 1: and the Bills have the Dolphins next week in a

1921
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 1: short week. YEP. Question about that game though, what the

1922
01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 1: heck was going on with both defenses? I mean he

1923
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,320
Speaker 1: had almost at I was in total net yards of

1924
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,519
Speaker 1: offense in that game, Mike, What the hell was going on? Well,

1925
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:06,760
Speaker 1: when you have a Lamar Jackson again, just like I

1926
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:09,639
Speaker 1: just talked about our guy, and you know and Josh

1927
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:13,600
Speaker 1: Allen seventy seventy nine yard run to be able to

1928
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 1: throw the ball seventy yard yards, run the ball for

1929
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 1: a touchdown seventy yards. That puts a lot of pressure

1930
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: on a defense. That's scary. The fact that Lamar Jackson,

1931
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:24,400
Speaker 1: who we already knew was an electric electric runner, put

1932
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:26,920
Speaker 1: that ad yard run out there on tape. Defenses are

1933
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:29,240
Speaker 1: gonna back up even more. They're gonna back up even

1934
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:33,799
Speaker 1: more knowing that kids that explosive. So I expect Lamar Jackson,

1935
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,880
Speaker 1: if he's feeling good, if Greg Roman's feeling good, that

1936
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:39,639
Speaker 1: offense is gonna put up some numbers. But to see

1937
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:44,040
Speaker 1: the mistakes that the Ravens did defensively with veteran guys

1938
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:46,560
Speaker 1: on the back end like Marcus Peters, that that that

1939
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 1: was telling. I haven't watched the entire film. I want

1940
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: to check out Kyle Hamilton from a safety standpoint, and

1941
01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 1: was it his fault on giving up some of those

1942
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:56,760
Speaker 1: big plays? But yeah, man, that that Baltimore's that that

1943
01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore defense gave up big plays, big plays late in

1944
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,920
Speaker 1: that game, which again I'm not accustomed to seeing a

1945
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 1: Blackamore Ravens team fold like one of them. One of

1946
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,519
Speaker 1: the most interesting games for me at the end of

1947
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:08,759
Speaker 1: it was the way the Arizona Cardinals came back against

1948
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:13,000
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, and Kyler Murray put together about

1949
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:16,360
Speaker 1: three or four plays in that game that were really

1950
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:19,519
Speaker 1: unbelievably unique. I mean, he had he had he held

1951
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:21,800
Speaker 1: the ball for like eighteen seconds on one of the

1952
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: two point conversions and just wouldn't go down. He just

1953
01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:30,559
Speaker 1: hopped around. He's so fast. There's no defensive lineman maybe

1954
01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:32,599
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL who could keep up

1955
01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 1: with him. He's so quick. But like you know, and

1956
01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 1: you know this, you've seen I've seen him up. The

1957
01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:40,360
Speaker 1: guy's five eight. I mean he is so short that

1958
01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 1: you kind of get it when he runs around by

1959
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 1: he can't see it. I mean, he's just too short

1960
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 1: to see what's going on in the secondary unless he

1961
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 1: lets it kind of develop and then develop and then

1962
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 1: hop around. I mean it really turns into street ball.

1963
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,160
Speaker 1: And he's so fast that you know, he just puts

1964
01:46:56,200 --> 01:46:59,440
Speaker 1: so much pressure on the defensive line and the secondary.

1965
01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean he at the end of this game, it

1966
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:05,519
Speaker 1: was all him I mean, he's that's why you know

1967
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:08,880
Speaker 1: you almost Yeah, you gotta pay the guy. That's why

1968
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:12,840
Speaker 1: you gotta pay him right there, that in and of itself. Yeah,

1969
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:16,600
Speaker 1: And and Kyler with his ability, he's always going to

1970
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:18,840
Speaker 1: give you a chance if the game is close at

1971
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:22,599
Speaker 1: the end of games. My question is, and my issues

1972
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:25,760
Speaker 1: with Kyler come from. Obviously, we can talk about the

1973
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:28,320
Speaker 1: bad body language, where negative things going on a play

1974
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: that can't happen from your franchise guy. Your quarterback is

1975
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 1: the thermostat for the entire team. If he is down,

1976
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:38,639
Speaker 1: if he is negative, your entire team becomes negative. That's

1977
01:47:38,680 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: one of those things that's with the body language and

1978
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 1: things like that with Kyler Murray number one, number two,

1979
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:48,040
Speaker 1: I do find Kyler Murray getting in these situations where

1980
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:51,520
Speaker 1: he's showing his ability to scramble around and and creating

1981
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:54,800
Speaker 1: things like that. But earlier in the play, if he

1982
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 1: had just took his filestep dropping threw the out, that's

1983
01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:01,479
Speaker 1: the play what I'm saying. Or if he would have

1984
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:03,560
Speaker 1: just took his quick three let the ball go in

1985
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:07,599
Speaker 1: the second window to the slant, that's the play. But again,

1986
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:09,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fans, we don't a lot of a

1987
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:13,760
Speaker 1: lot of our fans doesn't noways understand offensive plays, so

1988
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 1: when they see him doing all of this, it's like, wow,

1989
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:19,439
Speaker 1: this is amazing. It's pretty cool. But from a wide

1990
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:22,120
Speaker 1: receiver standpoint, they're saying, but I was open when you

1991
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 1: hit your fifth step, and I think that's what we're

1992
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 1: seeing happening in Denver. That's why if you anybody that's

1993
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 1: followed me hurting me, say, I really think Russell Wilson

1994
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:33,680
Speaker 1: and coach Hackett in this Denver offense, they need the

1995
01:48:33,800 --> 01:48:37,720
Speaker 1: preseason because those guys on the outside gotta get used

1996
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 1: to their quarterback, even the guy's blocking, gotta get used

1997
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:42,559
Speaker 1: to their quarterback running around like that. And yeah, it's

1998
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 1: a gift and a curse. But at the end of

1999
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:47,000
Speaker 1: the day, yeah, Kylin Murray, he won the game for him.

2000
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:49,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's uncomfortable when you get in the next day

2001
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: and you guys going to watch the film and it's

2002
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,080
Speaker 1: a wide out. You're out there and you know you're

2003
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,040
Speaker 1: a you're in a hit, you're in a street fight

2004
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 1: with this guy, right and you get open and you're

2005
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,960
Speaker 1: like here I am, and the quarterback is like, I

2006
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 1: ain't thrown it to you. It's an uncomfortable conversation in

2007
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:09,439
Speaker 1: the in the film where we're like, dude, that's what

2008
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm there for. What like, what do I gotta do?

2009
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if we're not gonna if you're not gonna

2010
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 1: throw that, why we call on that play? And it's

2011
01:49:16,720 --> 01:49:19,960
Speaker 1: and I've seen the arguments happened that way in the

2012
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:23,560
Speaker 1: big offensive team meeting room. The only thing is is

2013
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you gotta talk to Kyler with

2014
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 1: a headset and a video game on as opposed to

2015
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 1: face out, maybe you gotta talk to him, But I

2016
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 1: don't know. But you know what, I had one of

2017
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:36,920
Speaker 1: the all time great now great court. Now here's the thing, Mike,

2018
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: you know this. We say a lot about Kyler's body

2019
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 1: language and then the the work ethic clause in his

2020
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:47,200
Speaker 1: contract that they ultimately made public and then took out it.

2021
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:49,960
Speaker 1: I had a great quarterback in Jim Kelly. If you

2022
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:51,880
Speaker 1: were out there standing open, he'd be like, man, I

2023
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:53,880
Speaker 1: gotta hit you with that. That was a great route.

2024
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:58,439
Speaker 1: Good job, And that's it. Everything's diffused. If the quarterback

2025
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:00,320
Speaker 1: goes well, I would have thrown it, except that I

2026
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:02,320
Speaker 1: had to. You know, the offensive lineman, what had his

2027
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear excuses, you know, I just

2028
01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:07,920
Speaker 1: nobody in the Yeah, don't throw anybody under the bus.

2029
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:11,200
Speaker 1: Just throw it. And that's that's hard to do. And

2030
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 1: I think that's where some of these young quarterbacks, that's

2031
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:17,360
Speaker 1: where the disconnect is when you get into film rooms,

2032
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: and that's where the wide receivers lose their minds when

2033
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: week after week, where week after week he's standing in

2034
01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:26,680
Speaker 1: the middle of an open field after two guys are

2035
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:29,519
Speaker 1: taking swings at him and he's standing there getting open

2036
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 1: and the ball doesn't get delivered. You got problems in

2037
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, I got problems in Arizona if that's happening.

2038
01:50:35,360 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 1: I got problems in Denver if that's happening. I got

2039
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: problems in Seattle where that's happening. I got problem in

2040
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:44,799
Speaker 1: I got problems everywhere, because that's when it all comes apart.

2041
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:49,520
Speaker 1: And that's what you see when guys are on the sidelines.

2042
01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:56,080
Speaker 1: In animated conversation slash argument. I love how you put

2043
01:50:56,160 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 1: that animated conversations. I also say heated fellowship. That's all right.

2044
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 1: I like that fellowship. Man, we're just trying to figure

2045
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:07,760
Speaker 1: this thing out. Man, looks certain way, that's right, But

2046
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned Jim Kelly, and you said Jim Kelly with

2047
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:14,320
Speaker 1: the great one right that running shoot offense. You mentioned

2048
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 1: if if he missed you, he'd say, I'm sorry he

2049
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:20,559
Speaker 1: cut he comes. That's a quarterback coming from a place

2050
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 1: of humility. That's right, find you next time. You know

2051
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:27,559
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Some of these quarterbacks in these days,

2052
01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:31,120
Speaker 1: they've been given everything through their entire life in high school,

2053
01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:33,719
Speaker 1: they've been given everything in college, they've been given everything

2054
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, and so now they don't

2055
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:40,160
Speaker 1: hit you. It's not their fault. Something else happened couldn't

2056
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 1: have been their fault. Again, to me, that's that's that society.

2057
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:45,640
Speaker 1: That's not just Yeah, that's not just that's not just

2058
01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:47,599
Speaker 1: in this day and age too. That happened. That's happened

2059
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:50,160
Speaker 1: all the way through the annals of the of the league.

2060
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 1: But that's that's what we're talking about. That that's what

2061
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:54,960
Speaker 1: it is to be a good teammate. That's why, that's

2062
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 1: why everybody in the room got a voice, because everybody's

2063
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,760
Speaker 1: got a legitimate beef or not a b and it's

2064
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:03,040
Speaker 1: it's to be a great one. You got to own

2065
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:04,880
Speaker 1: your bad ones as well as you own your good

2066
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 1: ones and a lot of guys don't get that. Yeah.

2067
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:11,320
Speaker 1: Last thing I got for you, Mike, is the Despite

2068
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:14,439
Speaker 1: all these wild comebacks and everything, the game that may

2069
01:52:14,479 --> 01:52:17,920
Speaker 1: have surprised me the most was the shutout in Jacksonville.

2070
01:52:18,439 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 1: Um the Colts. I know they didn't have Michael Pittman.

2071
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:23,400
Speaker 1: I know they're still getting used to Matt Ryan, but

2072
01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:26,960
Speaker 1: holy cats, like that was I looked at that. I said,

2073
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:32,080
Speaker 1: that's a final Yeah, what I'm not. I'm not dismissing Jacksonville.

2074
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:36,439
Speaker 1: I just thought, I mean, my surprise Jacksonville beat Indie. No,

2075
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 1: they're division teams, they know each other, all that jazz.

2076
01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:42,040
Speaker 1: We know, Doug Peterson knows Frank Reich. I mean, those

2077
01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:45,759
Speaker 1: guys work together in Philly struggle. But shut out worthy

2078
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,439
Speaker 1: like that surprised me? What did you make of that?

2079
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 1: Very much? Surprised? I hay, Indie is my dark horse

2080
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:55,920
Speaker 1: for playing us, playing the Buffalo Bills an AFC championship

2081
01:52:56,360 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 1: that don't look too good right now for the Indianapolis

2082
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:03,040
Speaker 1: colt Um. When you look at this team before I

2083
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:05,160
Speaker 1: saw it, before I saw the box scores or anything,

2084
01:53:05,200 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 1: I said, okay, twenty four zip? Wow? All right? Well

2085
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,559
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had a hundred yards and they just had

2086
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 1: to get into a passing game because the defense wasn't there.

2087
01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:16,880
Speaker 1: Look at Jonathan Taylor. Nine carriages fifty four yards is

2088
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:19,719
Speaker 1: pretty good average. So I'm like, wow, so just hired

2089
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 1: this game unfold, right, So then it then it led

2090
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:27,920
Speaker 1: me to think, Damn, Jacksonville is looking this good. How

2091
01:53:28,160 --> 01:53:32,320
Speaker 1: bad of a coach with Urban Meyer man? Right, they

2092
01:53:32,439 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 1: brought on a couple of guys, really the big change coach,

2093
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:40,599
Speaker 1: That's right. That's that's where my brain went to, Damn

2094
01:53:40,720 --> 01:53:42,599
Speaker 1: that dude. Then he still works on TV. Now, how

2095
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:45,599
Speaker 1: bad of a guy. But anyway, that's where my brain wins.

2096
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:48,519
Speaker 1: And then I went and talked to some guys on

2097
01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:51,560
Speaker 1: that Indianapolis coach team, talked to some coaches on the

2098
01:53:51,640 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 1: coaching staff, and what was told to me was was, Mike,

2099
01:53:55,240 --> 01:54:00,519
Speaker 1: those edge rushers from Jacksonville may be the best duo

2100
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 1: tandem in the National Football League. Just because they don't

2101
01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:07,000
Speaker 1: hit home, just because they don't get the sacks, they

2102
01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 1: are something to deal with. It takes four people, two

2103
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:15,240
Speaker 1: half to make sure and deal with those two edge rushers.

2104
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:18,080
Speaker 1: Talking about the other um Josh Allen and trey Vonn

2105
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:21,640
Speaker 1: Walker did so. Yeah, man, Jacksonville they're on the up

2106
01:54:21,680 --> 01:54:23,160
Speaker 1: and up man. Yeah, and you think and it and

2107
01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 1: the Bills found that out late last year. They could

2108
01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:27,559
Speaker 1: those were the guys that they didn't have an answer

2109
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:29,080
Speaker 1: for and they got you know, they lose a nine

2110
01:54:29,120 --> 01:54:31,600
Speaker 1: to six game or whatever it was to Jacksonville in

2111
01:54:31,680 --> 01:54:34,560
Speaker 1: a shocker, and it really was. It was Josh Allen

2112
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 1: and the edge rushers that did it for him. All Right,

2113
01:54:39,240 --> 01:54:41,320
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try to pump us up one last time.

2114
01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:43,480
Speaker 1: I know you don't need pumping us because you're pretty confident.

2115
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen in primetime game since twenty twenty, completion

2116
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:52,880
Speaker 1: percentage seventy point one percent, twenty six total touchdowns, six

2117
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 1: picks and pass the rating of over one hundred. Does

2118
01:54:56,920 --> 01:55:00,480
Speaker 1: that work for you? Yes, it works for me. Of course.

2119
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 1: Get works for me, and I expect to see this

2120
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 1: offensive line dominate. Hey, keep keep a lookout offensive line, y'all.

2121
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:11,360
Speaker 1: Got Jeffrey Simmons on the other side. That dude a

2122
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:13,680
Speaker 1: real dude. He ate one of these just fake old

2123
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 1: dudes that want to act like they want to rush

2124
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:17,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He's a real guy. Had a couple of

2125
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:19,960
Speaker 1: sacks last year in the game, also had a couple

2126
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 1: of sacks last week, So keep an eye on that

2127
01:55:22,840 --> 01:55:24,480
Speaker 1: guy and that matchup. But I think if we could

2128
01:55:24,520 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball,

2129
01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 1: skill positions are there. All right, Mike, thanks for catching

2130
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:32,280
Speaker 1: up with us. We will catch up with you next week.

2131
01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:35,600
Speaker 1: Big Dolphins matchup down the line here, as we already

2132
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 1: talked about. So we'll catch up with then. Let's get it. Guys,

2137
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:54,640
Speaker 1: He is resolutely confident in the Bills tonight. He believes

2138
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 1: in that ten point point spread that the Vegas oudmakers

2139
01:55:58,160 --> 01:56:01,000
Speaker 1: have out there. So we'll see. I hope he's right,

2140
01:56:01,360 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 1: me too. Yeah, but there's a lot of football be

2141
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,560

01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:30,600
Speaker 1: I say the keys to the victory, just want to

2150
01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:33,240
Speaker 1: thank you guys Filacius getting getting me through in a

2151
01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:36,560
Speaker 1: bunch of both fans. That tough, tough loss. Yeah, that

2152
01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 1: game broke me, man. I couldn't watched any football. The

2153
01:56:40,640 --> 01:56:42,680
Speaker 1: only thing I watched was you guys. You guys got

2154
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:47,600
Speaker 1: me through it, and I appreciate that, no problem. The

2155
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:50,880
Speaker 1: key to the victory to this game and any other

2156
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:56,360
Speaker 1: game to me is injuries. Of course, if you keep

2157
01:56:56,400 --> 01:57:01,000
Speaker 1: the guys helping the right positions and themselves, my people,

2158
01:57:01,160 --> 01:57:04,440
Speaker 1: no one could beat the Bills, nobody but themselves. I

2159
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:07,800
Speaker 1: could see him going undefeated all the way easily this yet,

2160
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:13,480
Speaker 1: but we can't beat ourselves. Stupid turnovers, you know, a

2161
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:16,200
Speaker 1: bad clothes by the rest, all that stuff. But I

2162
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 1: want to thank you guys for picking on my coal

2163
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:20,320
Speaker 1: and to year what you guys have to say. Love

2164
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:22,600
Speaker 1: you guys. Yeah, thanks, you know, I appreciate it. Happy

2165
01:57:22,640 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 1: to be therapy for you. Last offseason. That was tough

2166
01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 1: on all of us. But yeah, I mean, you're not

2167
01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:31,400
Speaker 1: alone in that opinion. There's a lot of people that think,

2168
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 1: as long as the Bills don't beat themselves, they're unbeatable.

2169
01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 1: And they did a few let's be honest, they did

2170
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:39,440
Speaker 1: a few things last week that could have put them

2171
01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:44,280
Speaker 1: in trouble. I mean they had four turnovers, Yeah, and

2172
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:47,000
Speaker 1: that's a death knell for most teams. Fortunately, they got

2173
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:50,280
Speaker 1: three takeaways of their own, which helped kind of even

2174
01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:53,440
Speaker 1: that ledger out and they still win by twenty one points.

2175
01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 1: And so people are, Nah, these guys are invincible. But

2176
01:57:57,200 --> 01:58:01,120
Speaker 1: you're right, they can't get complacent. They gotta stay locked in.

2177
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 1: And there were a couple of times last year where

2178
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:07,560
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. But that's why. I don't know why.

2179
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:10,240
Speaker 1: It's just this sense that I get that they're just

2180
01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:12,800
Speaker 1: they're just dialed in in a different way than they

2181
01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 1: even have been in the past, and I want to

2182
01:58:14,640 --> 01:58:19,520
Speaker 1: believe that translates into airtight execution, particularly on offense. Yeah,

2183
01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 1: no questions. So when you get a really good team,

2184
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too, the Tennessee Titans probably believe

2185
01:58:27,680 --> 01:58:30,520
Speaker 1: the same about their team. But if they play their

2186
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:32,640
Speaker 1: game and play their best. There's nobody out there that

2187
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:35,240
Speaker 1: can beat them. Good teams always feel that way, and

2188
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:38,720
Speaker 1: now you know, it says something that Bills fans feel

2189
01:58:38,760 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 1: that about their team, no question about it. But I

2190
01:58:41,240 --> 01:58:42,880
Speaker 1: think the Bills have felt that way for a couple

2191
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:46,560
Speaker 1: of years now. When they play their best, they're unbeatable.

2192
01:58:47,640 --> 01:58:50,720
Speaker 1: Most good teams feel that way. Tonight's no exception. The

2193
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 1: problem is, and for me, it's a matchup. It's a

2194
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:59,000
Speaker 1: matchup that fits really difficultly for the Buffalo Bills. They

2195
01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:00,800
Speaker 1: have not been a team team that has been a

2196
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:06,640
Speaker 1: dominant front up in the Sean McDermott era. Now, they've

2197
01:59:06,680 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 1: been good up there and at times really good. But

2198
01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:13,080
Speaker 1: in last week they did dominate. But it's the first

2199
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:15,200
Speaker 1: week of a new season. Well we don't know if

2200
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:17,040
Speaker 1: that's exactly who they are or whether they just had

2201
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:18,400
Speaker 1: a good game or what. But they got to do

2202
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:22,800
Speaker 1: that again. They've got to be that team. But they're

2203
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:25,520
Speaker 1: playing against a team that has every reason to believe

2204
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:28,240
Speaker 1: they're They're a little different than the Rams. They run

2205
01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:30,800
Speaker 1: the ball a lot, and they do it like they

2206
01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:33,200
Speaker 1: mean it. They don't do it to set up the pass.

2207
01:59:34,320 --> 01:59:36,080
Speaker 1: They do it to keep from ever throwing the ball

2208
01:59:36,120 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 1: ever if they want. Yeah, it's a little bit different,

2209
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:41,400
Speaker 1: and the Bills have got to be ready for that.

2210
01:59:41,520 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, you know, people have alluded to it.

2211
01:59:45,720 --> 01:59:49,240
Speaker 1: You've got to do some real soul searching in the

2212
01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:51,320
Speaker 1: run up to a game like this where you know

2213
01:59:51,960 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 1: it is gonna be an absolute bar fight. It's a fistfight,

2214
01:59:57,840 --> 02:00:00,680
Speaker 1: it's it's a you know, it's a prize fight. Say

2215
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:03,640
Speaker 1: what you want, call it whatever you want. You're you're

2216
02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna get hit and you're gonna get hit hard, and

2217
02:00:05,400 --> 02:00:07,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt, and you gotta be ready for it,

2218
02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:09,000
Speaker 1: and you gotta be ready to dish it out if

2219
02:00:09,040 --> 02:00:11,000
Speaker 1: you can. And you know you're gonna be getting hit

2220
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:12,840
Speaker 1: by some really good players who are gonna do it

2221
02:00:12,880 --> 02:00:14,720
Speaker 1: again and again and again. You gotta be ready for that.

2222
02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:18,600
Speaker 1: It's hard to get psyched up for that and be

2223
02:00:18,680 --> 02:00:21,840
Speaker 1: excited about it. But what it takes is preparation. When

2224
02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:24,240
Speaker 1: you feel like you're prepared for it, and when you

2225
02:00:24,320 --> 02:00:26,400
Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, you can dish it out too, you're

2226
02:00:26,400 --> 02:00:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna do it as well. And you got to go

2227
02:00:27,880 --> 02:00:30,120
Speaker 1: in with that mindset and never get on the down

2228
02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:34,200
Speaker 1: side of it because it spirals pretty quickly. But that's

2229
02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:37,520
Speaker 1: what this game is like. It's an attitude game, and

2230
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:41,640
Speaker 1: sometimes that attitude's hard to find when you're on the

2231
02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:47,200
Speaker 1: bottom of a pile. You're good with metaphors, man, and analogies.

2232
02:00:47,320 --> 02:00:51,400
Speaker 1: It's very nice. I enjoyed that. I lived it. Man,

2233
02:00:51,480 --> 02:00:53,680
Speaker 1: it's heard those guys saying that, I don't know what

2234
02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:56,280
Speaker 1: it was yesterday, that it was in the Cincinnati game.

2235
02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:57,800
Speaker 1: I think in the Dallas game there was a couple

2236
02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:01,200
Speaker 1: of loose balls and was a pile up, and you

2237
02:01:01,240 --> 02:01:03,000
Speaker 1: didn't and you literally on the you know, you always

2238
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:04,480
Speaker 1: kind of yah, they got it, they got it back,

2239
02:01:04,520 --> 02:01:06,400
Speaker 1: but they're still fighting for that. A couple of times

2240
02:01:06,440 --> 02:01:08,160
Speaker 1: they got they piled up and you didn't know who

2241
02:01:08,240 --> 02:01:11,200
Speaker 1: had it. Yeah, and the secondary wave of people yes

2242
02:01:11,520 --> 02:01:13,560
Speaker 1: piling and they all felt like they had a chance

2243
02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:17,040
Speaker 1: at it. And I'm telling you what I've said it

2244
02:01:17,240 --> 02:01:20,000
Speaker 1: a hundred times. Satan himself lives at the bottom of

2245
02:01:20,040 --> 02:01:25,200
Speaker 1: those piles. There are some It is absolute evil down there.

2246
02:01:25,280 --> 02:01:28,600
Speaker 1: It is tooth and nail, and you get caught down there,

2247
02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:31,440
Speaker 1: you're because here's the thing. The reason, it's because the

2248
02:01:31,560 --> 02:01:36,000
Speaker 1: people in that pile just don't care. Yeah, they are

2249
02:01:36,040 --> 02:01:39,160
Speaker 1: getting it and you can't. You know, you're you're trying

2250
02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:42,640
Speaker 1: to get it. You're rather quick, Yeah, you're you're. It's

2251
02:01:42,760 --> 02:01:47,720
Speaker 1: it's rough in there, right, and so you gotta be

2252
02:01:47,800 --> 02:01:50,160
Speaker 1: ready for that kind of game. Yeah, it's as hard.

2253
02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:52,640
Speaker 1: It's hard at my age. I'm like, man, I don't know.

2254
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how I did it, and I don't.

2255
02:01:54,680 --> 02:01:56,800
Speaker 1: I really don't, because it's it's a long time, long

2256
02:01:56,880 --> 02:01:59,280
Speaker 1: time gone. Might be a little of that tonight. We'll

2267
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:45,560
Speaker 1: been advisable. Yes, just do it. Just keep it going.

2273
02:03:07,760 --> 02:03:09,640
Speaker 1: the phones here because we want to know from you

2274
02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:14,080
Speaker 1: what is your bill's key to victory tonight against the

2275
02:03:14,160 --> 02:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Titans eight three five It needs to be louder in

2276
02:03:16,840 --> 02:03:21,240
Speaker 1: the background five fifty two five fifty. Now they took

2277
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:24,280
Speaker 1: it away. Yeah, well see because you keep asking for

2278
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:27,520
Speaker 1: two d hear it? Yeah, now you're gonna get punished. Well,

2279
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:29,080
Speaker 1: So we go to the phones at eight o three

2280
02:03:29,160 --> 02:03:31,280
Speaker 1: oh five fifty and we go to Cindy in a car.

2281
02:03:31,360 --> 02:03:34,560
Speaker 1: What do you got for a Cindy Hey, tonight's game.

2282
02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:37,960
Speaker 1: I think the three big things for tonight is one,

2283
02:03:38,240 --> 02:03:42,280
Speaker 1: the defense has to come and stop Derrick Henry and

2284
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:45,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill's second thing is is that we got to

2285
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:50,880
Speaker 1: cut down on our fumbles and mismanagement of the ball

2286
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:54,720
Speaker 1: on the offense, and our our offense has to click.

2287
02:03:54,800 --> 02:03:57,360
Speaker 1: And I think that we've got that with Josh Allen

2288
02:03:57,440 --> 02:04:01,880
Speaker 1: and uh and digs and knocks um and I hope

2289
02:04:01,920 --> 02:04:05,320
Speaker 1: the night that they they let James Cook try to

2290
02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 1: redeem himself because you know, he is a rookie and

2291
02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 1: we want to see him get some confidence tonight. All right, good,

2292
02:04:12,360 --> 02:04:14,560
Speaker 1: it's good points, Sindy. Yeah, there's a lot about that.

2293
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean Zach Moss too. Yeah, we haven't take must

2294
02:04:18,040 --> 02:04:25,880
Speaker 1: about the turnovers. Yeah, bubbles. I like her. I like

2295
02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:30,640
Speaker 1: her choice of words. That um, that doesn't go unnoticed.

2296
02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:36,040
Speaker 1: And I think it's one of the most tangible messages

2297
02:04:36,600 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 1: coaches send to their players when they set them down

2298
02:04:39,800 --> 02:04:42,760
Speaker 1: after they do something wrong. And I know that I

2299
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:45,320
Speaker 1: don't really recommend it for like youth football, you know,

2300
02:04:45,400 --> 02:04:49,080
Speaker 1: because you negative right, you don't want to You don't

2301
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:52,200
Speaker 1: want to punish him for something they'd wrong because it

2302
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:57,200
Speaker 1: makes him afraid to do anything. Uh. However, it has

2303
02:04:57,280 --> 02:05:00,360
Speaker 1: long been known that and done that. If in the

2304
02:05:00,440 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 1: pro game, when guys caught the football up, they don't

2305
02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:06,320
Speaker 1: get the ball football, you may go into the cook

2306
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:09,520
Speaker 1: didn't play again last week? Yeah he did twas Yeah,

2307
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 1: something like and it was one of him, was one

2308
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:13,120
Speaker 1: of those run last worst Josh didn't give him the football.

2309
02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:15,560
Speaker 1: He didn't get a chance to touch the ball again.

2310
02:05:17,360 --> 02:05:21,600
Speaker 1: That sits that's that's sitting in him on his plate

2311
02:05:22,200 --> 02:05:24,840
Speaker 1: all week. He can't think of any when he thinks

2312
02:05:24,840 --> 02:05:28,040
Speaker 1: about this game, right, right, All six weeks we've been

2313
02:05:28,080 --> 02:05:31,000
Speaker 1: waiting on the second game. He's been Yeah, he's been

2314
02:05:31,040 --> 02:05:33,520
Speaker 1: sitting there with that on his plate, thinking about it.

2315
02:05:33,600 --> 02:05:35,720
Speaker 1: In practice, every time he gets handed the football, he's

2316
02:05:35,720 --> 02:05:37,960
Speaker 1: thinking about it, every time he watches film, he's thinking

2317
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:40,640
Speaker 1: about it. If he's the right kind of guy. He is,

2318
02:05:41,640 --> 02:05:46,160
Speaker 1: and all he can think about is showing him why

2319
02:05:46,240 --> 02:05:49,160
Speaker 1: he deserves more chances. And whether you like that or not,

2320
02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:54,080
Speaker 1: whether you think that, that's where it is. Because McDermott,

2321
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:56,920
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, all those guys, they got a responsibility not

2322
02:05:57,040 --> 02:05:59,000
Speaker 1: just to James Cook and manage his career and get

2323
02:05:59,120 --> 02:06:02,360
Speaker 1: him off on, get his mind right and all that stuff. Hey,

2324
02:06:02,680 --> 02:06:04,920
Speaker 1: you got fifty two other guys on your roster that

2325
02:06:05,320 --> 02:06:09,760
Speaker 1: are more important or just as important. Your responsibility is

2326
02:06:09,800 --> 02:06:12,480
Speaker 1: to make them, get them a chance to win the game,

2327
02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:14,280
Speaker 1: and giving it to a guy who fumbles is not

2328
02:06:14,400 --> 02:06:17,240
Speaker 1: that chance. That's as simple as it gets. If you're

2329
02:06:17,240 --> 02:06:18,880
Speaker 1: going to fumble the ball, you're not gonna get it

2330
02:06:19,480 --> 02:06:21,760
Speaker 1: because the other fifty two guys deserve somebody who can

2331
02:06:21,840 --> 02:06:26,040
Speaker 1: hang on to it. That's basically what it's like to

2332
02:06:26,080 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 1: live in that world. That being said, I do anticipate

2333
02:06:30,480 --> 02:06:34,240
Speaker 1: he'll get opportunities tonight. How many that remains to be seen.

2334
02:06:34,320 --> 02:06:35,960
Speaker 1: It probably has something to do with the flow of

2335
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:38,240
Speaker 1: the game and the game plan as well. But when

2336
02:06:38,280 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 1: you have a team that plays as physical as the

2337
02:06:41,240 --> 02:06:46,360
Speaker 1: Titans do, what can be said about maybe spreading them

2338
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:48,840
Speaker 1: out and putting them out in space and trying to

2339
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:51,600
Speaker 1: challenge them to defend that way. I mean, I'm not

2340
02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:54,760
Speaker 1: saying that the Titans are devoid of athletes, but you

2341
02:06:54,800 --> 02:06:56,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean, there's a certain style that they

2342
02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:59,200
Speaker 1: play with. What about putting them out in space where

2343
02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:01,800
Speaker 1: they can't gang take It's a thought, no question, here's

2344
02:07:02,240 --> 02:07:05,880
Speaker 1: and it's a thought. But the why are you spread them? Yeah?

2345
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:07,560
Speaker 1: They spread out a lot, but they still got some

2346
02:07:08,040 --> 02:07:12,360
Speaker 1: really strong people down inside. And now you got nobody

2347
02:07:12,440 --> 02:07:15,040
Speaker 1: to step in and chip or help or double team

2348
02:07:15,160 --> 02:07:16,280
Speaker 1: or you know, you don't have a back to go

2349
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:18,640
Speaker 1: in and give the guys shot in his rib cage

2350
02:07:18,720 --> 02:07:20,240
Speaker 1: before he goes out for a pass. You don't have

2351
02:07:20,280 --> 02:07:22,000
Speaker 1: a tight end to go down and give the guy

2352
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 1: a two hand jab on his shoulder blade before he

2353
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:27,440
Speaker 1: goes out for a pass, you know that kind of thing.

2354
02:07:27,880 --> 02:07:32,240
Speaker 1: So you can spread them out all you want. There's

2355
02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:34,280
Speaker 1: a lot more space in there for those those interior

2356
02:07:34,320 --> 02:07:36,680
Speaker 1: defensive linemen to work that way as well. So you know,

2357
02:07:36,720 --> 02:07:39,040
Speaker 1: it's a two edged sword, certainly, if you and and they,

2358
02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:42,440
Speaker 1: I've seen other teams do this. You know this happens.

2359
02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:46,880
Speaker 1: And every team, say, for instance, the Titans are out

2360
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:50,520
Speaker 1: there and they've got they've got their their defense on

2361
02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:55,160
Speaker 1: the field, and you notice, oh, hey, Simmons is taking

2362
02:07:55,200 --> 02:07:57,160
Speaker 1: a break. You know, Simmons is off the field, and

2363
02:07:57,320 --> 02:08:00,480
Speaker 1: do Pre or off the field on this rep. They

2364
02:08:00,560 --> 02:08:02,880
Speaker 1: gotta you know, Dupre walked off because you got a

2365
02:08:02,880 --> 02:08:05,000
Speaker 1: twisted ankle or whatever. He's just gonna walk it off.

2366
02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:07,440
Speaker 1: And du Pree Simmons is getting a blow. So both

2367
02:08:07,480 --> 02:08:10,360
Speaker 1: those guys are off the field. We're gonna drop back,

2368
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:13,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna their pass. Rushes has got their top two

2369
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:16,320
Speaker 1: guys off, We're gonna throw it that kind of thing,

2370
02:08:17,080 --> 02:08:19,080
Speaker 1: or we're gonna run right at him this time, hand

2371
02:08:19,120 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: it to hand it to Motor. We're gonna power right

2372
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:23,040
Speaker 1: run right at him. You know that kind of thing.

2373
02:08:23,720 --> 02:08:26,160
Speaker 1: So you've got you know where those guys are, you know,

2374
02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:27,800
Speaker 1: and if they're not in the game, You're gonna take

2375
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 1: advantage of that matchup if you can. And certain certainly

2376
02:08:31,240 --> 02:08:33,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna be times. Like you said, spread them out.

2377
02:08:33,200 --> 02:08:35,160
Speaker 1: See what they can do on the edges. Ye, see

2378
02:08:35,160 --> 02:08:37,040
Speaker 1: if they can get home with just those, you know,

2379
02:08:37,120 --> 02:08:40,760
Speaker 1: with the five offensive linemen. Um, but I know this,

2380
02:08:42,240 --> 02:08:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, no one scheme is gonna win it for you.

2381
02:08:45,640 --> 02:08:47,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to do a lot of things. Really well,

2382
02:08:47,680 --> 02:08:49,440
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones and to Marcus and

2383
02:08:49,520 --> 02:08:53,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo next. But yeah, first, Marcus, Hey, what's going on, Fellas?

2384
02:08:53,840 --> 02:08:57,480
Speaker 1: Not much? I love your show. Everything's going great. Thanks, Yeah,

2385
02:08:57,640 --> 02:09:01,560
Speaker 1: real quick. I understand the tie obviously, kind of week

2386
02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:04,120
Speaker 1: on the edges. So I hope James, James, Cookham and

2387
02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:06,560
Speaker 1: McKenzie a little couple of jet sweeps in there to

2388
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:08,800
Speaker 1: try to take advantage of those edges will probably to

2389
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:11,040
Speaker 1: help out as well. Didn't do too many jets sweeps

2390
02:09:11,040 --> 02:09:15,480
Speaker 1: in LA last week. But going to your point about

2391
02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:18,800
Speaker 1: the keys to the game, no disrespect to the lineman

2392
02:09:18,840 --> 02:09:21,640
Speaker 1: we had last year, but last week we had several

2393
02:09:21,720 --> 02:09:25,200
Speaker 1: linemen that had tackles for losses, which played a role

2394
02:09:25,280 --> 02:09:28,360
Speaker 1: also with their run defense and our safeties who normally

2395
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't have numerous tackles. They both added like two or

2396
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:34,440
Speaker 1: three tackles a piece. So I think that's a huge key.

2397
02:09:34,520 --> 02:09:37,400
Speaker 1: That's able to keep our safeties back to help our

2398
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:39,960
Speaker 1: young corners and still be able to stop that run

2399
02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:43,120
Speaker 1: up front. And obviously with the life of Henry and such,

2400
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:45,720
Speaker 1: they'll have more opportunities than they did last week. But

2401
02:09:45,800 --> 02:09:47,760
Speaker 1: I think that would be a strong key to show,

2402
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:50,320
Speaker 1: not just showing to the country that we can stop

2403
02:09:50,400 --> 02:09:53,120
Speaker 1: to run against Henry, but going forward that we don't

2404
02:09:53,200 --> 02:09:57,000
Speaker 1: need the front four to show our dominants up front

2405
02:09:57,000 --> 02:10:00,600
Speaker 1: with our defense. All right, appreciate right, that was a

2406
02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:02,480
Speaker 1: big I think that was one of the most notable

2407
02:10:02,520 --> 02:10:05,480
Speaker 1: differences from the Bill's defensive performance last week than all

2408
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:10,040
Speaker 1: of last year. Was seven sacks pass pressure with a

2409
02:10:10,120 --> 02:10:15,160
Speaker 1: front four, No, it's pressure without a single without a blitz. Yeah,

2410
02:10:15,200 --> 02:10:18,160
Speaker 1: that's that's a big difference. Now your pass rush has

2411
02:10:18,200 --> 02:10:21,320
Speaker 1: to be more disciplined this week with Tannehill because of

2412
02:10:21,440 --> 02:10:24,040
Speaker 1: his mobility, he's more mobile than Stafford. I mean, Stafford

2413
02:10:24,080 --> 02:10:27,760
Speaker 1: isn't a statue, but he's not Tannehill. So you don't

2414
02:10:27,800 --> 02:10:29,840
Speaker 1: want to swing too far up on the pass rush

2415
02:10:30,040 --> 02:10:32,480
Speaker 1: arc with Tannehill because he'll just tuck under it and

2416
02:10:32,600 --> 02:10:35,360
Speaker 1: take off. He can run, and he's smart, He's got

2417
02:10:35,400 --> 02:10:37,400
Speaker 1: a lot of experience, and he's still got some gas

2418
02:10:37,480 --> 02:10:40,800
Speaker 1: in the tank. So yeah, I think while Stafford's got

2419
02:10:40,960 --> 02:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I would say Stafford's a better thrower. Tannehill does bring

2420
02:10:45,200 --> 02:10:47,720
Speaker 1: something special to the table, like most of these guys do,

2421
02:10:49,200 --> 02:10:51,440
Speaker 1: most notably his experience and his ability to sling it

2422
02:10:51,640 --> 02:10:57,120
Speaker 1: and run. Yeah, it's he gets a different element to

2423
02:10:57,240 --> 02:11:00,640
Speaker 1: the pass rush Tannehill brings. You have to be mindful

2424
02:11:00,680 --> 02:11:03,400
Speaker 1: of Tannehill brads contain more than Stafford would. Yeah, you

2425
02:11:03,480 --> 02:11:05,480
Speaker 1: can't be reckless with your pass rush. You have to

2426
02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:08,680
Speaker 1: be pretty disciplined in your pass rush arc and not

2427
02:11:08,760 --> 02:11:10,520
Speaker 1: get too far up the field because he just steps

2428
02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:13,240
Speaker 1: underneath that, steps up in the pocket, or steps out

2429
02:11:13,280 --> 02:11:15,720
Speaker 1: to his right, buy some time, finds a man, and

2430
02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:17,920
Speaker 1: then you got a twenty five yard pass play. So

2431
02:11:18,560 --> 02:11:20,480
Speaker 1: just things to be mindful of for the guys coming

2432
02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:23,360
Speaker 1: off the edges. Break time for us here, Steve and

2433
02:11:23,440 --> 02:11:25,720
Speaker 1: I will be back to close things up. If we

2434
02:11:25,760 --> 02:11:27,440
Speaker 1: can squeeze into the phone call in or two. We

2435
02:11:27,560 --> 02:11:29,840
Speaker 1: will back in a second here on one Bill's Live,

2436
02:11:29,920 --> 02:11:45,680
Speaker 1: Stay tuned Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Let's get one

2437
02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:47,960
Speaker 1: more phone call in we go to Dave and Buffalo. Dave,

2438
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:51,240
Speaker 1: what do you have for us here on one Bills Live. Why, gentlemen,

2439
02:11:51,320 --> 02:11:55,880
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Sure, I was shocked to

2440
02:11:56,080 --> 02:12:00,760
Speaker 1: hear about the point spreads ten points. Yeah, but lamar,

2441
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I think about it. I think it's a sucker bet.

2442
02:12:03,560 --> 02:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna win by fourteen. I project thirty one seventeen.

2443
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 1: Can I get your opinion on that? Yeah, I think

2444
02:12:11,760 --> 02:12:14,600
Speaker 1: your opinion is about as valid as mine. Yeah, I

2445
02:12:14,680 --> 02:12:16,280
Speaker 1: mean it could certainly go that way. I don't think

2446
02:12:16,280 --> 02:12:18,120
Speaker 1: any of us would be shocked if that happened. I'm

2447
02:12:18,200 --> 02:12:21,040
Speaker 1: kind of expecting just a ted a bit closer like

2448
02:12:21,160 --> 02:12:25,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight nineteen, twenty seven, twenty somewhere in there. It's well,

2449
02:12:25,680 --> 02:12:29,360
Speaker 1: anytime you go like twenty seven twenty four, like the

2450
02:12:29,440 --> 02:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs Chargers game there on the screen, but or you know,

2451
02:12:32,800 --> 02:12:37,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty five or something like that, one bounce

2452
02:12:37,440 --> 02:12:40,720
Speaker 1: of the ball makes it completely different. These games have

2453
02:12:40,880 --> 02:12:42,440
Speaker 1: come down to, and you go back and look at

2454
02:12:42,480 --> 02:12:44,880
Speaker 1: games that are that are tight like that, there's like

2455
02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:49,640
Speaker 1: literally three plays every game that are the difference in

2456
02:12:49,680 --> 02:12:53,760
Speaker 1: the game, and unlike a game like last week in

2457
02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:55,640
Speaker 1: the Bills game where you know it's a twenty one

2458
02:12:55,720 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 1: point lead and you're you know, you're running the clock out,

2459
02:13:00,920 --> 02:13:04,720
Speaker 1: it's different in those kind of games. I kind of

2460
02:13:04,760 --> 02:13:06,960
Speaker 1: think that's where this might go. The more the closer

2461
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:08,360
Speaker 1: we get to it, the more I think about it.

2462
02:13:08,400 --> 02:13:10,920
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are better up front than they

2463
02:13:10,960 --> 02:13:13,560
Speaker 1: have been in years past. I don't think the Titans are.

2464
02:13:14,200 --> 02:13:17,960
Speaker 1: I think maybe the same. Certainly they're not as good

2465
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:23,320
Speaker 1: on the outside at on offense. You know, I think

2466
02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:25,360
Speaker 1: this is I think this has got a chance for

2467
02:13:25,760 --> 02:13:29,720
Speaker 1: especially in this atmosphere tonight. I think the Bills have

2468
02:13:29,800 --> 02:13:34,640
Speaker 1: a chance to roll in this game. I got a

2469
02:13:34,680 --> 02:13:36,720
Speaker 1: lot of respect for Mike Vrabel. He is a really

2470
02:13:36,800 --> 02:13:38,560
Speaker 1: good head coach, and his team is going to be

2471
02:13:38,600 --> 02:13:40,840
Speaker 1: ready to play. But I think this might be one

2472
02:13:40,840 --> 02:13:43,080
Speaker 1: of the few times I think the Bills might have

2473
02:13:43,160 --> 02:13:45,040
Speaker 1: too much for them to handle at this point, even

2474
02:13:45,080 --> 02:13:49,760
Speaker 1: without at Oliver and Tim see too many horses. We

2475
02:13:49,920 --> 02:13:53,720
Speaker 1: are done here, but the pregame coverage continues. I'll be

2476
02:13:53,840 --> 02:13:58,200
Speaker 1: back on the Bills pregame Roundtable on the Bill's radio

2477
