Speaker 1: the stomach settle, You're emptying its contents and saving rooms

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: for the feast that will ensue tomorrow. I got I'm

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: trying to decide how much I'm going to the Saves

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: game tonight. So yeah, right, so my our youngest is

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: in town from his jaw. He came in and so

12
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna go with me tonight. But yeah, I'm trying

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: to decide how I'm gonna You gotta started lining up

14
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: your diet before, you know what I mean, because you can't, like,

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: if I fast from now until then, it kind of

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: ruins the hockey game. Can't have that. Well, yeah, there

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: is the potential for that. You have to figure you know,

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: most people aren't. I mean at the earliest Thanksgiving dinners

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: at three would you say that's probably the earliest window

20
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: where people are sitting down to eat the dinner. But

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Three is probably the earliest, right, No,

22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: I know you think it's earlier than it can't be

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: because here's the thing. I'm not talking about picking it stuff.

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: I'm saying sitting down. No, no no, no, I know here's

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: the thing it all. I think everybody's different because and

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, as our kids have gotten older,

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,640

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: all geared up, go out and have some So you

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: might be like rolling in here by Monday. Well, we're

52
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: doing the show Friday, we are, so I have to

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: have a brief respite. Yes, you're gonna be in a

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: food call. I'll see you probably at about twelve fifty

55
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: five on Friday. I'll roll in here and I will

56
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: get out of here before people have even decided that,

57
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: oh yeah, there's commercials on. By the time they think,

58
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the show's broken, I'm gonna see what else

59
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: is on another station, they won't even be able to

60
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: channel surf faster than I'm out of here on Friday.

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: So so all right, but yeah, I think the timing

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: of the meal can be because I've I've heard it

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: people like even have had it as a like a

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: late brunch, like earlier than noon, even for a Thanksgiving feast,

65
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: depending on where they've never heard that because of where

66
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: family members may have to both move it up. Yeah,

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: three is like the earliest thing ever heard. What's what

68
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: does the quintessential Thanksgiving? I say, somewhere between four and five,

69
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 1: right like early on the dinner side, yes, but right

70
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: still completely dinner. It's like, it's not two. And I

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: think the reason why that happens, assuming there aren't scheduling

72
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: conflicts within laws and things like that, you wake up

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: in the morning and your mind is automatically conditioned to

74
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: be geared on food. Yeah, and even though you're picking

75
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: its stuff. You know, you're watching the Thanksgiving Day parade

76
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: in the morning, Yeah, you know, and you're picking here

77
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: and you're grazing there waiting for dinner to like six

78
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: or seven sounds completely completely insane. So people are like,

79
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: and then you also have to remember you're gonna have it.

80
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: There's always one, usually two or three in the house.

81
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: They're like coming into the kitchen maybe a half dozen

82
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: times between two and four and say when are we eating? Well,

83
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: when do we eat? That's the problem. Don't we eat,

84
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Tell me that doesn't happen. That happens

85
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: in every house, and about the turkey and at like

86
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: what eleven right for a three? You know, they put

87
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: it in like depending on the size of the hours

88
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: ahead of time. They put it in hours and as

89
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: soon as the house starts to smell like food. You man,

90
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: I was the youngest of four, and I'm sure there

91
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: are other big families out there with like four or five, six,

92
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: eight kit whatever, like you know, John Murphy and these

93
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: all these families I got friends. Can you imagine when

94
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: the kids start smelling that and they haven't eaten for

95
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: like seven and a half hours, you need a chair

96
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: and a whip like a lion tamer keeping them out

97
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: of the kitchen. And I mean it is like it

98
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: is like chaos trying to get that food out and

99
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: you try to let and it's almost as if you're

100
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: using appetizers and or d'euvres. Just offend them as you're

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: whipping chair here here, try try this, just eat this,

102
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: chew on this for a while, come back in an hour. Yeah,

103
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: we are. We are hosting tomorrow and oh yeah, how many?

104
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: How many people? I think we're up to fifteen and

105
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: then it'll be twenty counting when because people come over

106
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: for dessert, wem that aren't making it for dinner. Yeah,

107
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: so it's tricky. Um My wife made me leave some

108
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: of the patio furniture out on the back because we

109
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: have those overhead heaters. Right, so if we have those

110
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: on and it's supposed to be decent tomorrow, I think

111
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: it's like forty five for the high Yeah, as long

112
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: as it's dry, that's cool. Yeah. So I'm see we've

113
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: got at least sixteen showing up. Oh no, that's not right.

114
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: Seventeen eighteen nineteen. We've got nineteen shown up for the

115
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: watch party for the game, seven of which are not

116
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: seven six years old. I mean they're like five and under. Um,

117
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: so it'll be a little bit of a monkey cage.

118
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: But the Yeah, we got a ton of people showing

119
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: up late late, I do know, but you know, but

120
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: you know that's it's for dessert, it's for fun, you

121
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. Yeah, so I know everybody's

122
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. I was busy happy Thanksgiving to

123
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: everybody out. I was making bread last night with my daughter.

124
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: She was making this request. My mom used to make

125
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: this Portuguese sweet bread Portuguese on Easter. It was like

126
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: an Easter. It's like an Eastern Eastern tradition for I

127
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: guess people of Portuguese descent. She just happened to see

128
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: it in the newspaper and said, well, that looks good.

129
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Let me try that. They make it with like a

130
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: hard boiled egg on the top of the loaf. It's

131
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: braided and everything. I don't do all that. All I

132
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: know is it tastes unbelievable, partially because part of the

133
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: recipe is a full cup of sugar. Um it's cake.

134
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Well it's it's not cake, but it's close. And so

135
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: my my daughter was like, hey, are we gonna make that?

136
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'll make it as long as

137
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: you help. So we made that last night to kind

138
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: of cross one thing off the list. So we got

139
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: one list thing to do in Mark. He's gotta wait

140
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: for the dough to rise and they got to knead

141
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: it out again. You gotta let it rise a second time.

142
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: It's a lot of doing, man. I gotta tell you.

143
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Baker's a lot of early hours. If you're a baker,

144
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: you gotta get a way early to have stuff ready

145
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: before people are coming in to buy stuff. You know

146
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't went in Bankers hours are

147
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the best. Baker's hours, doctors hours, they might be the worst.

148
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: At a hospital bakers, baker Yeah, yeah, awful. Yeah, that's

149
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: that's like the old commercial the donut guy. I'm got

150
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: to get up to make the donuts, make the donuts.

151

Speaker 1: I remember those commercials. Get it, Uh, give me, give me.

152
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,680

153
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: on when you show up in leave on Friday. I

154
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: can't see why anyone would disagree. Yeah, yeah, right right,

155
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: right now, our bosses are going when does he When

156
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: does he get what is going on over there? Uh?

157
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: First and foremost, some injury updates for the Bills concerning

158
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: their game tomorrow night against the Saints. Tremaine Edmonds and

159
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, who were on the injury report this week

160
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: this shortened week, both were not listed with any game

161
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: status designation, which means they are good to go for

162
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: the game tomorrow night, so Tremaine Edmonds will resumably returned

163
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: to his starting position at middle linebacker in the Bill's

164
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: defense after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury.

165
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: That's good news. It looks like Cole Beasley is good

166
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: to go as well. I know people are wondering about

167
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: the COVID reserve players, Spencer Brown, Star Latoula. They remain

168
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: on COVID reserve. I have to double check to see

169
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: if there is a deadline. I know there is a

170
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: four pm deadline for the game tomorrow for the Bills

171
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: to make practice, squad call ups or activate someone off IR.

172
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: I know people are asking about John Feliciano, Will you

173
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: get activated off IR? They have until four pm to

174
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: do that tomorrow if they believe that's a viable option.

175
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: As Steve and I were discussing yesterday, though, I mean,

176
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Feliciano hasn't played in three weeks. He hasn't practice this week.

177
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: You can't. You're asking too much of a guy to

178
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: throw him out on a field after not practicing for

179
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: three weeks. Number One, expect him to play well. Number two,

180
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: his body to hold up in the proper fashion. I

181
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: think you risk re injury unless you ramp him up

182
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: through a full practice. Here's the thing. Yeah, I'll say

183
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: this about Feliciano. Now he's been in the building, he's

184
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: out at practice, he's watching practice, and he can also

185
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: work out that which doesn't have to do with his injury.

186
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: He had a calf injury. So he can like bench,

187
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: he can lift, he can do all this other stuff.

188
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: Plus he can be at the meetings. He can stand

189
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: there and watch these guys take reps in practice. He

190
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: can be in the meeting room and watch these guys

191
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: and talk with him. So that's different. Even so, he

192
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: still hasn't run. Maybe he has started to run. I

193
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: don't know if he's one hundred percent, he probably has

194
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: started doing some stuff. So that to me is a

195
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: much different animal than say Starlotula, who hasn't even been

196
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: in the building. You know, even if he gets cleared

197
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: like this morning and he's off the COVID list, he

198
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: hasn't even like been sitting. He has he sat at

199
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: his locker, let alone been in meetings. Now he's attended virtually,

200
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: but he has different. Yeah, standing there watching practice and stuff,

201
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: fee you know, that helps. It's it helps be in there,

202
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: listen to the conversations. It used to feel a long

203
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: way away, you know. So, um, it's different for all

204
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: these guys, but you're right to have them to drop

205
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: these guys in at you know, it's it's an overused expression,

206
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: but parachute these guys in out of nowhere. That's that's tough. Yeah,

207
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: that's tough. We have some other news and notes to

208
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: get to, but there is some breaking news. The Pro

209
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame has named their Modern Era semi

210
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: finalists for induction, and for the ninth time, the man

211
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: to my left has made the list. One Stephen A Tasker.

212
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Look at that is on the semifinalist list for the

213
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: ninth time. Congratulations each of the last five years. So

214
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: congrats on that. And so now we are. The pool

215
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: has been whittled down to seventeen players who were semi

216
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: twenty six total Modern Era semi finalists, seventeen of whom

217
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: were my finalist last year. You're included in that group.

218
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: And then six first year eligible players are on this list.

219
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: Looking down the list, and I believe Brownie, Steve Brownie,

220
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: we have no shot. Have you seen the list? Well,

221
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking at no shot, Bro. You are the only

222
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill remaining on this list. There were like a

223
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: handful of you and teammates and it's out of the mix.

224
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: I cannot believe Ruben doesn't get more love yea and

225
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Biscuit too, I mean, goddilye um. And then we saw

226
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: some other players on this list that wore a Bill's uniform,

227
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: like Larry Centers. He is not on the list anymore.

228
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: There are some heavy hitters here. I won't deny that

229
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: for a second. Yeah, I'll give you I'll just give

230
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: you the wide outs from the from the from this class.

231
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: It's Reggie, Wayne Hines, Ward, Steve Smith, Andre Johnson, Tory Holt,

232
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: and I'll say Devin Hester as well. He was Yeah,

233
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: but they're gonna they're gonna knock each other out. Yeah.

234
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: But Anquan Bolden, yep, I saw that. I mean that's

235
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: just that, that's just the one position wide receiver. Yeah.

236
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: Then you got Eddie George Fred Taylor. Um, you've got

237
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: uh something. It's insurmountable here, dude, come on, bro, So

238
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: congrats on that. That's good stuff. That's really neat. It's

239
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: it's really cool to be on the list with those

240
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: guys that I just named in a bunch of others

241
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: that are absolutely You're down to twenty six. I mean,

242
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Any year. That's that's pretty very good.

243
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm humbled and flattered by it. So that's awesome.

244
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: We're happy to report that here on the show. Um

245
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: other news and notes, because I know Steve's probably getting

246
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: read with embarrassment as we continue to mention that I'm

247
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: trying to move on just because you get you know,

248
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: like talking about yourself. As we know, Star Latula Spencer

249
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: Brown as of now on the COVID reserve list, and

250
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: as Steve was pointing out, it's probably unlikely that even

251
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: if they came off COVID reserve that they would jump

252
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: on the field and start in light of the time

253
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: that they've missed and the fact that they haven't been

254
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: in the building. I mean, they can be on virtually

255
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: and knowing what the game plan is and whatnot, but

256
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a long shot at best. The other

257
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: interesting one they came up was Marquez Stevenson, the kick

258
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: returner slash wide receiver. The rookie fifth round pick, started

259
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: practicing this week, but as of right now, he remains

260
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: uninjured reserve. What they did was they opened up his

261
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: twenty one day practice window. You can take a player

262
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: on IR and allow them to begin practicing, and they

263
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: can practice for up to twenty one days, at which

264
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: point you have to make a decision as to whether

265
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: to add them to your active roster or leave them

266
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: on i R, where they would then remain. I believe

267
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. The new i R

268
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: rules may change what it used to be, so I'll

269
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: have to double check on that. But he is an

270
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: interesting proposition going forward, if not this week, in future weeks,

271
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: So just something to keep an eye on. As we

272
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: went down, we got into the weeds a little bit

273
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: on the possibilities that if you bring a guy like

274
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Marques Stevenson off the practice called what it means. Certainly,

275
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: he's fast and he's got some speed. And one of

276
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: the things earlier in the season, because of Isaiah McKenzie

277
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: carrying the heavy load in the return game, they kind

278
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: of curtailed his snaps on offense and it cost him

279
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: some speed on the field. Now Brita has been back

280
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: on the field, that gave him some speed back and

281
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: people and here clamoring for more of him. Marques Stevenson,

282
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: no matter what they use him for, brings you more

283
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: speed and it also allows you to use my isamc

284
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: if if Marquess Stevenson begets gets the return job like

285
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: kick off and punt return, that gives you Isaiah McKenzie

286
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: back on offense or vice versa. You could keep McKenzie

287
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: as the return guy and Mark Quest Stevenson could come

288
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: in and take the lid off the defense. Now that's

289
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: a big ze more approven commodity on offense, right, I think.

290
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: But I also think this if you're gonna use the

291
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: guy's speed as just a place to, you know, just

292
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: to take some guys out of the play, and you

293
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: trust the veteran guy in the return game more, Mark

294
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: Quis Stevenson come in and just run through there. It's

295
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: still got a guard en. They still got a guarden.

296
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: And that's you know, it's a possibility. So we were

297
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: talking about that yesterday when Mark Quest Stevenson stuff came out.

298
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Don't know how healthy he is or how he's been

299
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: looking in practice since training camp. We're looking at some

300
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: highlights now that this is all in training camp. But

301
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: that's really intriguing and I think it says something. And

302
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: I said, yesterday's probably just time for him, right, He's

303
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: probably healthy now and they're ready to make a decision

304
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: on him or find out about him and give him

305
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: a chance to contribute. Yeah. And as we said earlier

306
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: in the week, I mean this kid flashed in training camps,

307
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: flashed in the preseason, and he had that return for

308
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown against the Bears. Remember that. Yeah. Um, so

309
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: I think he's an intriguing option as far as I'm concerned.

310
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: And this is not because it's Thanksgiving. He's he's gravy

311
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: in the wide receiver room, right, Well, he's gravy. It's

312
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie. You know. I mean all those guys are

313
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they got they got some guys um and

314
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: some young guys. Now, certainly those guys McKenzie, Isaiah, Isaiah McKenzie,

315
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: Um Hodge Hodgens is what I'm talking about, Isaiah Hodgins.

316
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: As they got Isaiah Hodgens, they got this Marquis Stevenson.

317
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: They're unproven guys, but there's some And I guess with

318
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: every young player, you're always thinking there's some intrigue. I

319
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: won't see what they can do. But if if you're

320
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: not getting to see him, there's a reason for it. Yeah,

321
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: and that's this coaching staff is notorious for making you

322
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: earn it to get on the field. Other big NFL

323
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: news happened in Saint Louis, where the four year lawsuit

324
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: against the Rams and the NFL for the team's relocation

325
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles filed by the city of Saint Lewis,

326
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: has apparently reached a settlement. So Stan Cronky, the owner

327
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: of the Rams, has settled with the city of Saint

328
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Louis for a total of seven hundred ninety million dollars.

329
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: An official announcement is expected later today after the lawyers

330
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: apparently notify the thirty two NFL owners. So the Saint

331
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Louis Post dispatches reporting the settlement does not include an

332
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: expansion team for Saint Louis, which was something the city

333
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: was hoping for as part of an agreement, you know,

334
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: and you can weigh in on that in a second.

335
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: It's unclear how much of the seven hundred ninety million

336
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: will be paid by Cronky himself, though he was previously

337
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: expected to pay tens of millions of dollars in the suit.

338
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: I guess there's there's like an ownership pool that the

339
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: league has, and you know, they handle legal issues, grievances, settlements,

340
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: and you know how much money that from that pool

341
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: goes towards it. We don't know, and we probably never will.

342
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: But Cronkey is not fitting the full bill from what

343
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: we understand. And it was kind of an unceremonious exit

344
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: from saying absolutely. I mean, the city tried to put

345
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: in protections. Cronkey wasn't going for it because he already

346
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: made up his mind. He kind of said far different

347
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: things publicly while still in Saint Louis, and then carpet

348
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: bagged his way to LA. Yeah, they there was I

349
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: read an article that said there was a they needed.

350
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: He said, they wanted the stadium to be a Tier

351
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: one stadium, right, and they wouldn't big time, and it

352
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: was going to cost seven hundred million, and the city said,

353
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: we'll give you one hundred and such some odd million dollars.

354
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't it's not chump change. We'll chip

355
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: in one hundred and I don't know, it wasn't one

356
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: hundred fifty million or something like that. We'll give you

357
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: a hundred this much. And Cronky said, and that was it.

358
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he never there was never going going back.

359
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: He said, it's either the seven hundred it was either

360
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: the seven hundred and the tier one number this is

361
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: the number or and then that's when it he was

362
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: out and hum and then he started working towards going

363
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: to LA and Sime, I think those wheels were probably

364
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: already well he didn't. Yeah, this was it took ten years,

365
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: literally ten years for it to happen. And the problem

366
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: was the seven hundred, the one number for a Tier

367
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: one stadium in Saint Louis. But once that was a

368
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: no go, he was backdooring him in LA while still

369
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: keep trying to string him Alongainst. Saint Louis to make

370
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: sure that his team didn't like play to an empty stadium.

371
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: And that's you know, and now the acrimony ensued from there.

372
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: That's that's that is far from all the details. Well

373
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: obviously obvious. Saint Louis now does not have a great

374
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: history as an NFL city. Yeah that's a Cardinal lost

375
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Cardinals and then they lost to Saint Louis Rams,

376
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: so two times. The support for the club wasn't good enough.

377
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: It wasn't over the top by any means. Um and

378
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: I understand Saint Louis probably at its core is a

379
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: baseball city first. But the NFL is there that. I

380
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: think here's the thing too. If you're the NFL there,

381
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: if you're the NFL and you got owners out there

382
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: and all these and you know, some of these guys

383
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: that have been around a while, we kind of know

384
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: their personality. Do you think they're gonna give Saint Louis

385
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: another crack at it? I don't. I have a hard

386
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: time seeing that happening. The Cardinals booked out of there,

387
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: the Rams left again. Goodness gracious, with all the cities

388
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: that would love to have an NFL team, I don't

389
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: think you're going to get a third swing at it. Yeah,

390
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: I don't think so either. The question though, is, you know,

391
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: if if there ever comes a time where the NFL

392
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: does choose to expand usually they try to do it

393
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: in pairs, sure keep the numbers they did with Caroline

394
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville, Houston they added to get back to thirty

395
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: two teams. They had thirty one um because Cleveland lost

396
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: their team to Baltimore and then they got it back,

397
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: and then there were thirty one teams and that just

398
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: wreaked havoc on the schedule, and then they who who

399
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: can They added Houston and two who had lost their

400
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: team to Tennessee. Um, so, can you think of a

401
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: city before Saint Louis where you would say, you know what,

402
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: that's probably a likely place where an NFL team will

403
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: wind up next San Antonio. That doesn't rankle Jerry enough.

404
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: It's not too close to his territorial Maybe, UM, I

405
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: wonder about that. Yeah, when you know no wing the

406
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: hammer he swings, does he say, oh, I get it.

407
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: Now you're in my territory. There's really no other I mean,

408
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: if you're thinking geographically, there's really no place. Maybe in

409
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: the Northwest there's a town. Maybe, Yeah, you know this

410
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: is Seattle. Wouldn't see Attle, wouldn't you know? Stand for that?

411
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: And even if I say create a rivalry a rival

412
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: think about you could do? You could do if you

413
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: were at too, and you could go Vancouver and Toronto, Yeah,

414
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: or go International or London in Mexico City, or London

415
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: in Berlin. I mean, you know, look at you thinking bigger.

416
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: It's common. I'm still thinking about NFL city. The NFL

417
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: city should be the city. All right. Let me just

418
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: take sixty seconds and tell everybody how This public service

419
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: announcement brought to you by the NFL should put the

420
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: NFL should buy a lot of land somewhere in a

421
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: destination city on like like Puerto Rico or somebody like,

422
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: or yeah, or buy a Caribbean, invade Cuba. I don't care,

423
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: Just Havana whatever, a destination city, right, pick one cancoon

424
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: for all I care whatever. But by like and and

425
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: basically what this is my idea is that it would

426
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: be like Disney World with a different thing, and it

427
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: would have the NFL shield instead of the mouse ears.

428
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: You'd have golf courses and resorts and hotels and restaurants

429
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: and all owned by the NFL, and a stadium. Obviously,

430
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: you'd have a stadium there with hotels attached to the stadium,

431
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: and the league could have you know, it would be

432
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: a destination. So every every team would go down there

433
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: and and every Thursday night game would be in the

434
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: same stadium, and it'd be a destination so the fans

435
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: could come down to watch. And then in the offseason

436
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: you could have the combine, the draft, whatever whatever whatever there.

437
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: You could have your golf courses, you could host PGA events,

438
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: you could it would be destination. You have water parks,

439
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: golf courses, restaurants. The conference championship games could be an

440
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: NFL city, and then you'd have the focus of the

441
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: sports world for two weeks. And of course every cent

442
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: you spend from the taxis to the peanuts and popcorn

443
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: at the airport go to the go to the league,

444
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: and then they could split that. That would be a

445
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: thirty third franchise, but you'd split the revenue from that

446
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: with all the NFL teams, and then one slice would

447
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: go to the alumni, so that they would have an

448
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: incentive to go to NFL city. When when Bills play there,

449
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: the Bills alumni are there. When the Cowboys play there,

450
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys alumni are there. When the Seattle Seahawks play there,

451
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks alumni are there. And then the offseason they

452
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: could come down and it's it's a weekend of golf

453
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: and competition between the old Cowboys and the right water parks.

454
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: Sure you have you know, walmarts and Target stores with

455
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: nothing but NFL gear in him. Everything is in the

456
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: shape of a football, right, hotels, resorts, the whole thing

457
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: has all got the NFL shield, just like you know,

458
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: like Disney World, except it would be a football thing.

459
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: Ye have practice facilities down there. That's brilliant. Yeah, it's

460
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: pretty good. I like it might cost a little bit

461
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: of it would but that's my that's my NFL city idea, Yes,

462
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: patent that. Coming up on the show today, we will

463
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: have one Field Yates ESPN Fantasy football expert to give

464
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: us his ultimate fantasy lineup, presented by fan Duel Make

465
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: Every Moment More second hour of the show, we will

466
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: have the Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas. We'll probably get

467
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: his take on Steve getting named to the semi final list.

468
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: We're also going to talk to him about the backs

469
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: on this roster and if he believes there could be

470
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 1: more work in store for one Matt Breeder. We'll get

471
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: Thurman's take on that. And we're also taking your questions

472
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: from the obl fan mail bag. Any question on the

473
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: Bills or the NFL, we are here to answer them

474
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: either at eight three, five fifty or on the tweet

475
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: sheet at one Bill's Live. But let's go to the

476
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: phones and waiting for us there is Dan and Rochester. Dan,

477
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Steve? Thanks? Happy, Thanks,

478
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: Kty Happy Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah, hey, Steve, are you belonging

479
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: to the Hall of fame. I don't give a damn.

480
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: I remem about Bill fan for years. Man, Dad got it, Steve.

481
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate thanks Man, You're the best. Thanks. Hey, Chris

482
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: and Steve. You think we could run the table? Oh um,

483
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: that's a little heavy for me to stomach right now.

484
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: The only reason I say that is because this team

485
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: has been wildly inconsistent over the last five weeks, and

486
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: it's very hard in this league of tight margins. As

487
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: Steve always talks about, the difference in this league from

488
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: the top to the bottom is about two percent. If

489
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: you are not playing consistently, it is very hard to

490
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: run off a string of victories like that. Bills did

491
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: it last year, Dan, So I know where you're coming from.

492
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: But with as inconsistent as they've been, I don't know

493
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: if they're swinging that be great if they could, I'll

494
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: say that. I'll say this, Dan, Can they You bet

495
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: you they're good enough? Will they? It's a week to

496
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: week league, bro, I don't know. They may they may

497
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: score six points against the Jets on Week eighteen. Yeah,

498
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't know. And with the way

499
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: they're playing now, it's it's hard to definitively put your

500
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: faith in them rolling up thirty points like they were

501
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: at the start of the sea. I won't start thinking

502
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: about that, Dan until they go three and on the

503
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: next three Saints Patriot's Bucks. If they do that, then okay,

504
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you about it. You can call us back. Yeah,

505
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: I got another phone call here. We're gonna go to

506
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: Jackie on a cell. What do you have here? Is

507
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: Jackie your own bills live? Yeah, Steve, maybe you could

508
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: do that. You're at Abell City. Scale it down a

509
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: little bit to do like a Bill's oppolus, like maybe

510
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: in Lackawana, and you could start there and you have

511
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: like bill players walking around and you know, buy up

512
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: an area. You just you buy up an area, and

513
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: then they get to like a bill you know, whole

514
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: same town type of thing. Yeah, I like to just

515
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: in Lackawana too. That's a little bit of a smaller scale,

516
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: a little smaller biopolis. I don't know why I thought

517
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: of this as soon as you said Bill's appolis. I'm

518
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: just picking picture a human size snow clone Bills, right,

519
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: and like you and Bruce are just thre walking around

520
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: and we walk around in the snow globe. Yeah, that's good.

521
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's like you're in a human fish bowl. Yeah,

522
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: Bill's appolis. It's a gain entry. You have to, like,

523
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, pay a fee or sign up for

524
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: a members sing the shout song or something. Oh my god,

525
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: that's good. Maybe yeah, I appreciate that. But listen, you

526
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: think about my my idea. I love it NFL City,

527
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't have fun. Would it be to go down

528
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: there and stay in you know, you'd have to have

529
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: a ton of hotels every every team would have their

530
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: own hotel themed every everybody you're saying, you know, you'd

531
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: have thirty two different restaurants. You know, you'd have the

532
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Chili, the Buffalo Wings, every country. That's it, you know,

533
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: except it would be you know, have the shield instead

534
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: of yeah, the mouse ears. You know, that's a great idea,

535
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: and people wouldn't love it, and you could have you

536
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't have the Super Bowl there every year, but it'd

537
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: be in the rotation and the championship games should have it,

538
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: and the Pro Bowl. Because what people a lot of

539
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: people don't realize is like when say, for instance, when

540
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: Dallas or La or Miami or whatever, when when these

541
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: cities put a bit in for the super Bowl. They

542
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: cut a check for nine figures. It's like one hundred

543
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: and fifty million bucks. They four goals to our city.

544
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: Here's here's a little here's a little appearance fee for

545
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: your super Bowl and that just goes right to the bottom,

546
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: right to the bottom line of the league. So yeah,

547
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: if a city's willing to do that to have the

548
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: super Bowl come to their city, you know, they're making

549
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: it somewhere else. And if you didn't have to, you know,

550
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: share that with anybody, all that income that the city gets,

551
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: if it was if you own, you're the city, because

552
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: you're the city. Seriously think about it. They're the hotels,

553
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: the hotels, the restaurants, the cabs, the gum at the store,

554
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: every mention of the fact that you're charging tax to

555
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: whatever hotel companies agree to build on your property. So

556
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: now you know, I like where your head's at. You

557
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. So so there you go. I'm

558
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm all for it. I think I'm not I'm certainly

559
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: not qualified to be here. And it doesn't let's let's

560
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: face it, let's I'm a big picture here. You don't

561
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: have to like just it's not like pitching a tent

562
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: one of these things, right, right, So you start, you

563
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: start small, you know, and you start with the stadium

564
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: and you and you work from there. You go to

565
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: the hotels, then you go in. You build it out

566
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: and build it out. Yeah, you build it out a

567
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: little by little, and soon it's yeah, you got your

568
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: own little world. I love all right, break time for

569
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: us here after that meeting of the minds, I feel

570

Speaker 1: in ESPN Fantasy Football expert Field Yates for his ultimate

576
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy lineup, the Holiday edition, brought to you by FanDuel

577
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: Make every moment more and Field. We begin at the

578
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: quarterback position, as we usually do, and this guy didn't

579
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: do too bad last week. Got in a bit of

580
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: a shootout type game. Just didn't have enough time left

581
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: on the clock for him. But you're going You're riding

582
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: Big Ben late in the season last year, this might

583
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: have been a mistake with the way their season went

584
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: last year, but I don't know. I think he's got

585
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: a shot to put up some points. Say the clock

586
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: is turning towards Big Ben right now. You know, he's

587
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: honestly got a great matchup this weekend as well, because

588
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: that's part of the daily fantasy consideration. And if you

589
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: go and look at the quarterbacks that are projected to

590
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: start this week, he's got one of the lowest price

591
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: tags on the entire board. It's incredible. Andy Dalton filling

592
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: in for Justin Fields is six hundred dollars more expensive

593
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: that here Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah, and perhaps it's the matchup

594
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: they like against the Detroit Lions, but I think the

595
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg against the BANKUS is a good matchup as well.

596
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: Bengals team that certainly has been impressive in some ways offensively,

597
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: but defensively probably the less strong side of the ball

598
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: for them. So Ben Roethlisberger should be busy once again

599
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're gonna get back some reinforcements

600
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: on defense, so it may not be quite the shootout

601
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: game that it was this past Sunday night, but I

602
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: do think Ben can be good enough to pay off

603
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: on that price tag of just sixty six hundred dollars

604
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: and we moved down to Man, it makes some sense

605
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: because the way he lit it up, he's still got

606
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: some stuff under the hood. The way they played in

607
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: the in the LA Chargers game the other night, you

608
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: still think they've got some guys that can make some

609
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: plays on the outside. So yeah, Ben could do it,

610
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: and it's a great price on the running backs. You

611
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: chose one guy obviously, is I think because of the matchup.

612
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: The other is because of opportunities, Am I right? That's right? Yes,

613
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: The matchup here for Javonte Williams is really good against

614
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers, who just continue to struggle to

615
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: defend the run all season. It's been a problem for them.

616
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: And you know, as of Monday, they placed their best

617
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: run stuffing defensive lineman, Linda Joseph on the reserve COVID

618
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: nineteen lists. So that one, right there is a big

619
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: one for their run defense, a guy who's a really

620
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: impactful player for them upfront. They don't have a bunch

621
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: of those in terms of big body defensive lineman. And

622
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: then the next one's kind of a layup guys, anytimes

623
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: you can chance, you can fit Christian McCaffrey into your lineup.

624
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: It's a good thing. And McCaffrey has been really, really good.

625
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: It's returning from injury and this past week basically played

626
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: without limitation, which exceptional again that game that they obviously

627
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: ended up losing, but still an impressive performance from Heat

628
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton in that first game back together full time.

629
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: McCaffrey has been a bit overshadowed in recent weeks because

630
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: of the performance of another running back, Jonathan Taylor. Christian

631
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: McCaffrey really good value here this week, even at that

632
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: top price point of ninety seven hundred dollars. Yeah, and

633
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: you know here at wide receiver with the guys you

634
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: went with, all of them are coming off pretty good

635
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: weeks last week. My question to you, I mean, I

636
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: know you always pay big money for your receivers every week.

637
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: That's been the trend we've seen with you field, But

638
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, do you look at the consistency of performance

639
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: with these guys as well, because there are some receivers

640
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: that will give you some big weeks. I mean, Ceedee

641
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: Lamb's a guy that's been up and down, up and

642
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: down each of the last three weeks. These guys that

643
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: you've got here in the lineup, what's their level of

644
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: consistency and how comfortable do you feel with that? Well,

645
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: at least in the case of one of them, there's

646
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: exceptional consistency. But we'll start with Justin Jefferson, who over

647
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks has been just brilliant guys.

648
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean for the Minnesota Vikings, and a couple of

649
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: weeks ago he didn't quite go full squeaky Wheel gets

650
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: the grease, but the Vikings talked about how they weren't

651
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: getting the football enough to their best offensive player in

652
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Over the past couple of weeks there has

653
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: been no problem whatsoever. Obviously he dominated the game this

654
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: past Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Actually don't mind

655
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: the matchup right now against San Francisco. This is a

656
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: huge game, by the way, in terms of playoff implications.

657
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: Two teams that are both five and five right now

658
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: now that one of them are shooing to make the playoffs.

659
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 1: But if you win, you have an opportunity to really

660
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: take the lead or really sort of give yourself the

661
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: inside track for that seventh spot in the NFC. I

662
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: like Justin Jefferson, and I of course Deebo Sannuel, who

663
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: has been the consistent one all season. He's been remarkable

664
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: for San Francisco and you love everything he's done as

665
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: a receiver. But you guys saw that game on Sunday

666
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars and all of a sudden he's playing

667
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: running back as well. He's got over one hundred rushing

668
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: yards this seasons. Too unique and dynamic player is Deebo Samuel.

669
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: Love what he's done for San Francisco all season, and

670
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: again I like the matchup Minnesota has really struggled to

671
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: defend the past so far this year. In the last one.

672
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: Another guy who's been so busy all year for Pittsburgh

673
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: is Deontay Johnson. And in terms of fan duels, you know,

674
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver matchup ranks, it's as good as it can

675
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: get against the Cincinnati Bengals. They're the thirty second ranked

676
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: opponent for wide receivers this year. The price point for

677
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson a seven thousand, one hundred dollars, Really impressive player,

678
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: guy who should be busy every single Sunday. Again, I've

679
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: got a lot of that Ben Roethlisberger led offense for Pittsburgh.

680
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: And part of the reason why is I think this

681
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: could be a high scoring affair against Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon. Yeah,

682
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: and then when we move on down to the running

683
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: the tight end, Evan Ingram versus Philly, how do you

684
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: see that matchup? And this looks like particularly a pretty

685
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: good value if you can get some points out of him. Yeah.

686
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: And Evan Ingram's a really tricky player, right, because he's

687
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: not super dependable. He's really talented. Right, He's one of

688
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: those guys that will be a fascinating free agent in March,

689
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: because in terms of natural ability, I mean, how many

690
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: tight ends have four four speed at two hundred and

691
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: forty or so pounds. At the same time, we've been

692
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: talking about him for years, right, he's not a new

693
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: player to the NFL, and he's never sort of realized

694
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: that potential on the field that he suggests he should

695
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: have when you look at just his height, weight, at speed.

696
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: That being said, he plays the Eagles on Sunday, and

697
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: going back to the matchup here, the Eagles have been

698
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: the worst defense in terms of opposing tight ends and

699
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: fantasy football this year, so there's some value there. As

700
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: we know, the Giants are changing offensive coordinators after letting

701
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: go of Jason Garrett. I will say this though, Evaninger

702
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to reright some of the wrongs of

703
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: his own season this year, So I like the opportunity,

704
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: like the value against Philly. The Giants have to find

705
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: a way to get better on offense. And then you've

706
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: got a guy for Dallas in Cedric Wilson here in

707
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: your flex spot. This guy's kind of had an interesting

708
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: year because Michael Gallup, as we know, has been hurt

709
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: for a while, so he's had more opportunities than maybe

710
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: he was anticipating at the outset of the season. I

711
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: have to admit I haven't paid very close attention to

712
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: the year he's had, So maybe you can shed some

713
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: light on why're you like his chances here? I think

714
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: Cooper on the COVID list or something, or right Cooper

715
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: on the COVID list, Ceedee Lamb dealing with the concussion protocol,

716
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: and he kind of reminds me, does Cedric Wilson of

717
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis like he might be the fourth receiver on

718
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: his own team. But he's not a fourth wide receiver

719
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: relative to NFL expectations, if that makes sense right. He's

720
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: a good player, useful guy at seven targets the past week,

721
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: and I think there's a chance he's a seventy five

722
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps player for the Cowboys on Thursday.

723
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: So the opportunity to pay off probably is pretty significant here.

724
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: You know, the Raiders are actually better defensively than offensively

725
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: of late, or especially good in the secondary. But I

726
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: do think opportunity knocks here. And if you look at

727
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: some of the values there on the board, again, lowest

728
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: price point on the boards forty five hundred bucks, you're

729
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: paying a one thousand dollars premium. That's pretty worthwhile for

730
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: a guy like Ceterra Wilson. And then, of course a

731
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise for me, you got the

732
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins defense going against really one of your top

733
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: running back on your board. How do you think that

734
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: matchup plays out on the field. You know, the good

735
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: news is that I'm not too concerned about it. I

736
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: would say that, like speaking generally in Daily Fantasy sometimes

737
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: I think we talked about this last week. You can

738
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: just sort of punts on your defense right, it's you're

739
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: not spending that much money, so it's not like it's

740
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: going to cost you that much both financially in terms

741
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: of upside being said, Miami's played some better defense recently

742
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: Carolina's offensive line from the weakness of their group, and

743
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think that this passing offensive Carolinas

744
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: equipped to throw for three hundred twenty five or three

745
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards in a game. This could be

746
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: one where Miami is able to force a couple of turnovers.

747
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: Keep this a game that's decided. Something in the vein

748
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: of twenty four twenty one as opposed to thirty five

749
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: thirty one would in surprises me of Miami defense, which

750
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: is played you know better of late, has one more

751
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: solid effort against Carolina. I believe Miami heads into their

752
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: by after this, so good opportunity for them to gain

753
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: some momentum. They've won three straight games and it's been

754
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: more about the defense in the offense. All right. So

755
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: that is field ultimate fantasy lineup presented by Fan Duel.

756
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: Make every moment more field. We've got a short week

757
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: here for the Bills, not a lot of time to practice. Obviously,

758
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: most of the walk through variety. They are playing a

759
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: Saints team that is just ravage by injury. What's your

760
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: feel on this in terms of a bounce back game

761
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I know the Saints are trying to

762
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: do the same thing after they got run all over

763
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: two by the Eagles, but just from a Bill's perspective,

764
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: the chance of a bounce back here, and just for reference,

765
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott era eighteen and nine off of losses. Yeah,

766
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: they've been solid generally speaking, as you just noted, and

767
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a good opportunity. You know, going to

768
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans is never easy because the Saints obviously have

769
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: a very spirited crowd at their stadium down there at

770
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Doome. Buffalo is facing an opponent though, as

771
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 1: you let mentioned, Brownie, this is such a limited offense.

772
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's limited. One is full strength, and it's

773
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: significantly far away from its normal full strength lineup. They're

774
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: down obviously the best player in Michael Thomas quarterback and

775
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston tight end and Adam Troutman potentially two starting tackles,

776
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: potentially album Kamara, I mean, you just go on and

777
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: on and on with major game chain players, and I

778
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: don't know how this game, if the Saints are going

779
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: to keep it close, is anything other than to grind

780
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: it out type efforts. I think the Bill's offense, which

781
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: I know it's sputtered a little bit recently. I know

782
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: that Saints defense is good, but I think the Bill's

783
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: offense is kind of the key to this game. If

784
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: they can get up to an early lead, it's really

785
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: difficult for New Orleans to play catch up. It's just

786
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: not right now in the offensive DNA. I had thought

787
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: and floated this out earlier in the program, and I

788
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: thought earlier in the week that maybe Taysom Hill goes

789
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: in at quarterback and they just kind of try to

790
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: do what the Colts did with different a different way.

791
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: But just run the football right at Buffalo with Taysom

792
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: Hill and Ingram and if Camara is available, great throw

793
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: him in the mix too, But just throw the running

794
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: backs out there, all of them. And when you get

795
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: into a place where you want to change it up,

796
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: just throw a screen past the Camara or let him loose.

797
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: But really try and out physical the Bills like the

798
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: Colts did, to try and shorten the game, lessen the turnovers,

799
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: and the amount of possession each team get, you know,

800
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: the bottom line, and the NFL's it's a copycat league.

801
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: And when the Bills are coming off of a performance

802
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: that was so remarkable for the opposing running back, every

803
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: team they play is going to say, hey, you know what,

804
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: let's see if we can out muscle the Bills the

805
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And until the Bills CounterPunch and win

806
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: a game by being the more physical team, other teams

807
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: are going to continue to do that. I'm not sure

808
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: New Orleans has what it takes to win a game

809
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: that way, but I can imagine that the strategy this

810
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: week for the Saints is not air it out and

811
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: throw itut forty five times. It's ground and pound, and

812
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: it might be more ground than it is air attacks.

813
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: So I suspect that's the strategy the Saints will be

814
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: looking to lean on this week. But it should be

815
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: an excellent atmosphere, that much is for sure. And you know,

816
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: it's a long year. I know Bills fans are frustrated

817
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: with what's happened over the past few weeks, but I

818
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: think this is a good opportunity for the Bills to

819
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: kind of take a deep breath level set and play

820
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: some good football on Thanksgiving and hopefully catapulted to the

821
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: rest of their schedule. All right, Fields always, thanks for

836
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: In case you didn't know, the BFLO Store, the official

837
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: retailer of the Buffalo Bills. Nice. There is a little

838
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: bit of other news that we needed to get to.

839
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: Also in case you didn't see it yesterday, Buffalo's Week

840
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: fifteen game, which was a TBD game to be played

841
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: on Saturday or Sunday, will now be played on Sunday,

842
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: December nineteenth here at Highmark Stadium at one pm, So

843
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: that is now a Sunday one o'clock game. They hold

844
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: these games in reserve because they want to take advantage

845
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: of the open Saturday window after the college football season

846
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: is over, and they want to put some of the

847
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: most attractive games there. One of those is Patriots at Colts.

848
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: That is an attractive game. Well it was, and it's

849
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: even more attractive now with both teams firmly in the

850
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: hunt now that Indianapolis is above five hundred for the

851
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: first time this season. So and we had heard that

852
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: the league was actually waiting to see the outcomes of

853
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: games involving some of these teams this weekend before making

854
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: the decision, and you have to believe the Colts victory

855
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 1: was instrumental and then being one of the two featured

856
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: Saturday games. The Bills instead will play on Sunday at

857
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: one pm in Week fifteen, December nineteenth, their last game

858
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: before Christmas. So if you got tickets to that game.

859
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: It is on Sunday one PM, which I gotta tell you, Steve,

860
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: just talking to a lot of Bills fans. They love

861
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: Sunday at one pm, and I do too when they come.

862
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: Like last year, except for the Monday night game, they

863
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: were all Sunday at one right, I think they were.

864
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: They were all Sunday one home games last year except

865
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: for the Monday night Yeah. Um so except for the

866
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: Monday night game against Pittsburgh last year. So yeah, fans

867
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: love it. Next few weeks yeah, yeah, Thursday night game tomorrow,

868
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: followed by Monday night right, followed by a Sunday four

869
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: o'clock window game at Tampa in Tampa. Yeah, we're yeah,

870
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: all over the map. Yeah. And that if and I'll

871
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: say this, you think about it, Thanksgiving night, Monday night

872
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay at four twenty five, which is the hammer.

873
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: It's the hammer time slot for the whole weekend, every weekend.

874
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: If the Bills. Yeah, if the Bills have a good run,

875
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: there go three and oh in those games, they're can't

876
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: get flexed. They're gonna no, but they're gonna stink after

877
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: that because they're gonna be so full of themselves beating

878
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: those three games I mean once again, they're gonna be

879
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: another Jacksonville game, because yes, if that will be this

880
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: next stretch of three games, if if they can pull

881
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: if they can pull it off and run the table

882
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: with these three games, they will be at the they

883
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: will be right back at the top of the mountain,

884
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: and they may well be the one seed at that

885
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: point at the end of those three games. That's how

886
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: close everything is. That's how close everything is. Let's go

887
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: to the phones at eight oh three, five fifty one,

888
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two, five fifty origin. Evan

889
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: is waiting to speak to us. What do you have

890
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: for us? George? Hi, guys, I noticed something this year

891
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: that I have not heard anybody talk about. And the

892
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: Bills have not played one game all year long against

893
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: a team with a winning record and the team coming

894
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: up of the name one either. So what's gonna happen

895
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: when they play a team with a winning record? And

896
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: how can a team under those circumstances be talked about

897
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl? Yeah? I understand what you're saying, George,

898
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: but you can't blame the Bills for who's on their

899
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: schedule and how good or bad they are. They just

900
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 1: have to play who they who's on their schedule. Yeah,

901
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: I have a choice in the matter, I guess is what.

902
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: I hate to say it. If you're gonna get technical

903
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: about it, you're wrong. Because they played the Dolphins in

904
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: Week two, they were one to know and they beat

905
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: them thirty five. So yeah, I mean, I get it.

906
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: They and the Chiefs. The Chiefs were stinking it up

907
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: when the Bills played them. They got beat by the

908
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: titan I think the Chiefs. So yeah, I mean I

909
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: get what you're saying. They've played bad against good teams

910
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: and good against bad teams, except for with the exception

911
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. Um yeah, you're right, Um you can. It's

912
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: an easy schedule, no question about it. They had the schedule.

913
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: They played it last year and went thirteen and three

914
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 1: against was a gauntlet. It was a very difficult schedule

915
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: and they plowed. They plowed through it. This year, it's

916
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: not the case. And for whatever reason, they haven't risen

917
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: to the occasion on too many occasions. Um so and

918
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: and Plus we're sitting in the middle of the it's

919
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: a short week, but we're sitting in the middle of

920
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: a week where they it was the worst outing they've

921
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: had all year, And I would put that even in

922
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: where the Jaguars in place of the Jaguars two games

923
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: or this game, this Coast game was worse than the

924
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: Jaguars game. Could the defense showed up in the Jaguars game.

925
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: So you were saying this was a three phase meltdown

926
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: against the colt zero for two is a total team loss,

927
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: zeries or two on field goals, a fumble for a

928
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: return in the special teams, two missfield goals, yes, zero

929
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: for two and field goals and a fumble lost and

930
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: almost scored on in special teams, the offense fifteen point

931
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: or whatever, two touchdowns and then their defense got got

932
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: it run down their throat and just got pushed all over.

933
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: It was a total, total team meltdown playing against a

934
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: really good football team, a team that's very playing very well,

935
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: and the Bills had no answers. That was worse than

936
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville game where they just didn't show up. And

937
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 1: we're not saying on offense, George's argument doesn't have merit.

938
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 1: We understand what you're saying. They've they've racked up six wins.

939
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: They've done it largely against inferior opponents, teams with losing records.

940
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: They'll get tested in the next couple of weeks. Here

941
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: they're playing a five and five Saints team that's injury

942
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: ravaged and probably isn't gonna be able to compete. I

943
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: anticipate they win tomorrow night and and do it comfortably.

944
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: The next week New England on Monday night, and they're

945
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a winning record, and they're playing some of

946
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: the best football in the entire league right now. So

947
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: that's test. And then the next week they're playing the

948
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champions in their building. Yeah, this season,

949
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: the rubber meets the road real fast. The season can

950
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: be wrapped up by the schedule, good or batter, up

951
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: or down as this the way the Bills have been

952
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: playing their whole season can be wrapped up in two words.

953
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: Wildly inconsistent. Wildly inconsistent. That's the way it's been and

954
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: that's what we're looking at. And so when we see

955
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: him play tomorrow night, what are we gonna see? Yeah,

956
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: And the sad thing is do they have the ability

957
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: to be something much more than inconsistent? Absolutely, But that's

958
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: on them to execute on a consistent basis, to be

959
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: a consistent winner. And that's the hurdle. They've got a

960
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: clear right now. Whether they can or not, it's up

961
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: to them and them alone. It's like they say all

962
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: the time, we have to be the best team we

963
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: can be on the field we're playing that week. We

964
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: don't have to be best in the league. We just

965
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: have to be better than whoever the heck we're playing.

966
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: And they're right, But four times this season they have

967
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: unquestionably been the worst of the two teams against some

968
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: of the lower rung teams in the league, and that's

969
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: the biggest problem. We gotta take a break here, But

970
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: when we come back, Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas gonna

971
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: join us. We'll get talking with him about Steve making

972
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: a semi final list for the Pro Football of Fame.

973
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 1: How about that, Becau talk about see what Thurman asked

974
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: to say about that, along with the Bill's running back situation,

975
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: and might there be a larger role from Matt Brita

976
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. I think that could be in the offing.

977
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: We'll discuss with Thurm when we return here. On One

978

Speaker 1: over the field. Kind of unique. He was kind of

981
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: a dual role pleasure for Steve. Steve a blimp. We're

982

Speaker 1: they know that you deserve to be in the Pro

1012
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame. See he just texted me and

1013
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 1: he said, the checks in the mail. Yeah you all right,

1014
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: all right, I'll invite you if if I you're invited

1015
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: to the So if I I'll invite you. And look

1016
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was poking some fun at

1017
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: Steve calling him Susan Lucci. Let's not forget Susan Lucci

1018
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: did eventually win an Emmy. So I'm just saying, if

1019
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: the shoe fits wear it. So I thought it was

1020
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 1: very appropriate if the high heel fits. I'm not telling

1021
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 1: you what to wear the thirm, but know thirm? Did

1022
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: you how long did it take you to get your

1023
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: mind around what happened to the Bills on Sunday? Oh

1024
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: he's froze. His internet took him. You know, had already

1025
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: moved on to the game, can you hear me? Yeah,

1026
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: go ahead and start again. Yeah, I had already moved

1027
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: on to the next game. Really, I mean, this game

1028
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: is probably, you know, ninth tenth game of the see

1029
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 1: when you're saying that this is the most important game

1030
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: of the year, and I think it really is because

1031
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: not only where you're talking about, you know what, this

1032
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: team hasn't played well in a month. The psychic of

1033
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: this football team, you know, is there doubt now that

1034
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: they're one of the best teams in the National Football League.

1035
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: I hope that's not going around that locker room, because

1036
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: I just do still they think, still think that this

1037
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: is a damn good football team that we have here

1038
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, and we got one of the better quarterbacks

1039
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, one of the better defenses.

1040
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: So I think with guys like Micah Hyde and Jordan

1041
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: Pail and Jerry Hughes, the leader of these of this

1042
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: football team, and Sean McDermott. I think these guys have

1043
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: to be ready on Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day to play the Saints,

1044
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: and you know what, and I hope that they go

1045
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: out and don't have a slow start. I hope they

1046
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: come out, man and just really take it to the

1047
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: Saints from from the first quarter all the way to

1048
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: the to the end of the football game. So yeah,

1049
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean they have to bounce back. They have to

1050
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: look at this as you know what, guys, we are

1051
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: a good football team and we can be better. So Thurm,

1052
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: I want you to expand on that a little bit,

1053
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: and Steve chime in here if you want, since you

1054
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: both went through this. But when you guys, you know,

1055
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: started cresting as a team and you were now the hunted,

1056
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: were there any speed bumps in the road for you

1057
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: guys in terms of handling success. Um, I don't think so. Brown.

1058
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: You know, we were at a point where we were,

1059
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, we were a little bit older than after

1060
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: our first or second run at the Super Bowl, and uh,

1061
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, after the first couple of Super Bowls, you know,

1062
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: things weren't going as the way we had planned the first,

1063
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: uh first or second year that we had went to

1064
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls. So I think as players, you know,

1065
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: you look at that and you look around the locker room. Man.

1066
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: Like I said, we had an entire group of leaders

1067
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: on our football team. We knew exactly what we had

1068
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: to do when we went out on the football field,

1069
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: and we did it, and we did it. It just

1070
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: wasn't one guy who's a collective group of a lot

1071
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:20,439
Speaker 1: of guys that were saying that, you know, hey, we're

1072
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: a better football team than what we dispatched weekend. I

1073
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: think I think this team has to come out and

1074
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: show that. All right, so fair so fair enough. On that,

1075
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if where this current Bills team is, if

1076
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna draw parallels to your guys teams, I'm wondering

1077
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: if they're in the nineteen eighty eight range, not the

1078
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one range, if you know what I'm saying.

1079
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: So when you guys had the success that you had

1080
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: in eighty eight, you know, breakout season, get to the

1081
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: AFC Title game, lose, just like this team last year

1082
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: handling handling that success. I'm not trying to get into

1083
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: a bad area here because I know eighty nine is bickering,

1084
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: bills and all that, but you know, now you've got success.

1085
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: How were you guys handling that? You were a very

1086
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: young player Therm. I don't know if you were, you know,

1087
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: vocal in the locker room that early or not, but

1088
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, handling that success now being stamped as an

1089
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: AFC power. I feel like this team's having a tough

1090
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: time with that right now, based on their play over

1091
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: the last month. Yeah, Bran, I think we you know,

1092
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: after you know, you didn't want to mention that nineteen

1093
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: eighty nine season, which I think when you look at

1094
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: Bill's history and look at the success that we have,

1095
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: I think you do have to mention nineteen eighty nine

1096
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: because we did have success in AFC Championship game, you

1097
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: know what. And then to top it off, who win

1098
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: that last game against the coach? We have home field

1099
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: advantage over the Bengals in the playoffs in nineteen eighty eight,

1100
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: and that game is played in Buffalo, and maybe things

1101
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: will come out a little bit different. But I think overall,

1102
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: if you look away at the eighty nine season, you

1103
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: know what, we handled success very very well, and after

1104
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: that season, we handle you know, defeat very very well.

1105
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there were guys on our team that, you know,

1106
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: I go back to the stories of when we had

1107
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: when Chris Fieldman was a member of this football team,

1108
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: and how we would come back Sunday and he would

1109
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: go straight to the stadium and and and started watching

1110
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: film on the next game, the next opponent. That's those

1111
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: were the type of guys that we had on our

1112
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: football team. So, yes, we loved the success, but I

1113
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: think more importantly we were all grounded and where we

1114
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: came from. Uh, you know, we really didn't let the

1115
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: success get to our get to our mind. You know,

1116
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: we were all level headed guys that were out to

1117
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: try to do one thing and that was to try

1118
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. But we did feel like,

1119
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: you know what, the success that we've had is because

1120
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: of the hard work that we put in. One of

1121
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: the things I've been thinking about now since when we

1122
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: have you on, I want to get your thoughts on.

1123
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: It just struck me. I remember those old teams and

1124
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: stuff and something that the Bills haven't been a part

1125
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: of for a while. And you know, over the last

1126
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: four or five the Sean McDermott y, Yeah, they've gotten

1127
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: back there where they get to one of these games

1128
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: that you forget. We always talk about the playoff games

1129
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: this kind, but our teams back in the day, and

1130
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,439
Speaker 1: I think every NFL team even today, they run into

1131
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: really big regular season games, really big ones. And these

1132
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: games against the Patriots that are coming up are gonna

1133
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: be gigantic games. This game this weekend for the Bills

1134
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: to stay at pace in the race, it's gonna be

1135
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: a gigantic game. And I think we got caught so

1136
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: much and I did you get caught so much up

1137
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: in the drought. You just got to try and win.

1138
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we got all these games from But

1139
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: now that you got this this team like the Bills have,

1140
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: there are some games that are massive on the schedule,

1141
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: and you forget what it's like to have like one

1142
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: of those games a month and a half before the

1143
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: season's over. It's it's new territory, I think for a

1144
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: whole generation of Bills fans. Yeah, I do. I do

1145
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: believe that, Steve and uh And that's why I think

1146
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: this game tomorrow is so important just for the psyche

1147
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: of this football team, you know. I think they need

1148
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: to get out to a fast start. It is an

1149
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: NFC team with the Saint so you know that they're

1150
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: gonna be physical or their defenses has always been one

1151
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the National Football League, I

1152
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: guess the last five or seven years or what have you,

1153
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: with Michael Jenkins, Malcolm Jenkins and uh so um. But

1154
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: I think with this game, Steve, we're gonna see a

1155
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: lot of taysoing Hill. I just I just believe that

1156
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: that's what Sean Payton, that's what they're gonna do. They figured, Hey,

1157
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I know he's not Jonathan Taylor, but he's a guy

1158
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: who gets the job done, whether it's throwing the football

1159
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: or running the football. So I expect them to at

1160
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: least try to do what the Indianapolis Coats did. And

1161
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: so this is a bigger game. Hey, Cathlas is coming back,

1162
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 1: Trumaine is coming back, right, I think, so yeah, so yeah,

1163
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: So I know, hopefully out of Hill, hopefully he will

1164
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: make a step to being like, hey, this is this task.

1165
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: This starts and ends with me, this running game. And

1166
01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: so it's a very important game because I do not

1167
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: want these players to spend the next ten days after

1168
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: this game thinking about how important it is. The following

1169
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: week to play the New England Patris. They need to

1170
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: go into that football game with the W. They need

1171
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: to win this football game tomorrow Thanksgiving Day. It's that important. Yeah,

1172
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: And Steve mentioned the Taysom Hill angle also, he's I

1173
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: think that's a great belief that it's gonna happen. And

1174
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: quite frankly, Sean Payton doesn't have a lot of other

1175
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: bullets in his gun right now. That injury list file long.

1176
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna getn't have Kimera. It's like it's

1177
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna be Taysom Hill and marking down there. It's gonna

1178
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: be Taysom Hill and mark Ingram and they're gonna try

1179
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: and run it and then maybe dink and dunk it

1180
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: over the top and Taysom Hill can throw it. I mean,

1181
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: it's not He's not. So. I think Taysom Hill and

1182
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: the run game and his ability and the misdirection of

1183
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: which guy's got the ball between Ingram and Taysom Hill,

1184
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: I think it gives them some, you know, some weapons

1185
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: that they can make some Hey, particularly gains the Bill's

1186
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: team that has shown its inability to stop the run.

1187
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: I think they come out with a different kind of

1188
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: run game and try and get some things done in it,

1189
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: and even on a short week, you think they can

1190
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: pull that off. I think they've got in their offense anyway.

1191
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: I think I think that's been in their offense since

1192
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: he's been there. Yeah. Yeah, they've been using him, you

1193
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: know in certain times, especially down on the gold line

1194
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: and even in the red zone. You know, starting in

1195
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: the red zone, but usually it's down how to go

1196
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: line where they usually do it. But I think if

1197
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: you look at the last month of and especially Sunday

1198
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: against the Coats, I don't think it's gonna I don't

1199
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: think they're gonna wait until then. I think that might

1200
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: be one of them. Might be an offense that will

1201
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: come out in the first period of in the first quarter,

1202
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: when they get their first drive. I think that could

1203
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: set off. I think that will try to set the

1204
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: tone for the Saints for the rest of the for

1205
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. I think so too. And

1206
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if they haven't shown all of

1207
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: it this at this point in the season, it's all

1208
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: better for them. They got stuff they haven't shown. And

1209
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: I think, you know, with Jamison w James Winston being

1210
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: the guy early on, they didn't need it then when

1211
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Jamis was playing, and you know, with Simeon in there

1212
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: running their regular offense, there's no question they're all hands

1213
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: on deck maximizing whatever every every player can do under

1214
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: the circumstance. So I think I think they're gonna see

1215
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: Taysom hill a Ton. Maybe not, I don't know. That's

1216
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: just me talking. I think it makes a lot of

1217
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 1: sense for Sean Payton. Flip. Let's flip Thurman. Let's flip

1218
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: the running game around. Let's talk Bill's running game here.

1219
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott was asked about Matt Brida's role and whether

1220
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: he had earned the right, as we hear coach McDermott

1221
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: used that phrase a lot. Had he earned the right

1222
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: to get more playing time. I'm just gonna give you

1223
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: the numbers here, Thurman. Last two games, Matt Breeda has

1224
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: had twelve touches of the football between running and catching.

1225
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Twelve touches, one hundred and seventeen yards and two touchdowns

1226
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: in the last two games. A small role, but pretty impactful,

1227
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: and coach basically said, yes, he's earned the right for

1228
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: more playing time. How much more do we expect Thurman? Well,

1229
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: let me see He's had twelve touches in the last

1230
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: two games, so I'm figuring after the Saints game that

1231
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: total should probably be about thirty two to thirty to five.

1232
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:29,959
Speaker 1: Do you know that's not gonna happen. He's not gonna

1233
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: get the ball twenty times. We know what. He may

1234
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: double it. He may get it twelve. This isn't nineteen

1235
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: eighty eight. Come on now, he may get it twelve

1236
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,439
Speaker 1: times though, you know, with screen passes or whatever. Yeah,

1237
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it and match that number from

1238
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: the last And we've been talking to they've they've got

1239
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 1: a chance to get a look at Markquest Stevenson who

1240
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: came off and he's on IR and he's probably not

1241
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna get activated for this game. It's probably too quick.

1242
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: But they're starting to think about getting more speed on

1243
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: the field on offense and if they can got a

1244
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: young guy like Markquest Stevenson who could come in and

1245
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: take over the return, earn the duties for Isaiah McKenzie.

1246
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Mackenzie could go over and start playing offense again. Uh,

1247
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: because it's hard to play both one way or the other.

1248
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: The Bills are doing some things with their roster. I mean,

1249
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: they can't do all that much, but they are doing

1250
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: some things with their roster that I think it's pretty interesting,

1251
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of it has to do a SKO. Yeah,

1252
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: I do too, And I think one of the things

1253
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: now is that you know, we're getting we're getting some

1254
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: of our guys back and they're healthy again, and and

1255
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, Brownie, yeah, it's probably not going to

1256
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: be that many touches. But but I would just throwing

1257
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: a number because I'm running back. I want to see

1258
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: him do well. You know, I think, like coach McDermott,

1259
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: has he has earned the right for some more touches

1260
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: in the next couple of games. And I tell you

1261
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: what it beat if he has a big game here,

1262
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: I guess the Saints and tomorrow. I think you're going

1263
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 1: to see more of him throughout the rest of the year.

1264
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: You have to, because you know, I, like you said,

1265
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: the guy hasn't touched the ball a lot, but when

1266
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to put the ball in his hand,

1267
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: he does bring assigement to the game. And I think

1268
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: he has earned at least Brownie, I would say after

1269
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: this game, maybe, yeah, maybe he'll double that maybe. Okay,

1270
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: And I knew where you were coming from with that

1271
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,919
Speaker 1: all the way, let me ask you another running back question,

1272
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: because we've gotten this from the fans a great deal.

1273
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: They're wondering what is going on with Zach Moss the

1274
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. He looks sluggish, I guess, I

1275
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 1: would say, And we're trying to ascertain. And I know

1276
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: I might be putting you on the spot with this

1277
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:32,719
Speaker 1: because you know you're watching it on the TV copy

1278
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: just like everybody else. I'm wondering if it's a vision

1279
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: thing where he's just not seeing it and trusting it,

1280
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,560
Speaker 1: and that's why he looks a little slow, you know,

1281
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: whether it's to the hole or to the backside, or

1282
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: if it is a trust thing in his offensive lineman.

1283
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: He just looks sluggish getting up to the line, and

1284
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: he looked a lot faster last year. It's very puzzling.

1285
01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you had any theories on that. Oh,

1286
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I really don't. Um. I think if you

1287
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: all the fa factors that you talked about just then,

1288
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: I think it could be a trust factor. I think

1289
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: it could be with the offensive line. I know as

1290
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: a running back, you know, to me, there's only been

1291
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: one guy that ever played in the National Football League

1292
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: that didn't need all pro from one tackle side to

1293
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: the other tackle side, and that's Barry SAMs. He just

1294
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: needed some guys to get in a way. I think

1295
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: there is a trust factor that because the running game

1296
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 1: has not been very good all about the emergence of

1297
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown. You know how much that affects the offensive line. Um,

1298
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, he just hasn't looked the same. Like, I

1299
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: can't tell if it's maybe a trust factor or maybe

1300
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: he just not seeing the hole as you normally do.

1301
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: But I did. Thurman's internet's unking out on him. You

1302
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: might have lost him here for a second. He would

1303
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: come back. Yeah, it's obvious whenever you talked to Thurman

1304
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: about the running game of the Bills, I mean, he's

1305
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: got some he's got something to say. Yeah, And I

1306
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: know you and I were talking about it too, and

1307
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: we were saying, whether you trust the crease is going

1308
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: to be there or not, When you get there, you

1309
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: still gotta hit it, like yeah, I mean you could

1310
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 1: bounce if there's an option. That's an option. And I

1311
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: get it's this league are pretty fast, though they don't

1312
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: That's why I know this too. And we may try

1313
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: and get Thurman back for another couple of minutes where

1314
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: we may just call it a day. But um, I

1315
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: know this too that when notoriously at every level of football, um,

1316
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: particularly as you get higher. It's even even at the

1317
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: lower levels. The higher level of football you get, the

1318
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: less and less and less they question what the guy

1319
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 1: sees when he's got the ball in his hand. Um,

1320
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 1: he's got the ball, he's running to try and find

1321
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,759
Speaker 1: a way to get out of there. So it's hard

1322
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: to you know, you know, to tell a guy when

1323
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: you're starting. He gets trained by what he does, and

1324
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: it's hard to say, you know, you should have done

1325
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: you should have run here instead of here. Now you

1326
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:10,719
Speaker 1: can say it after if you see it on film

1327
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: or whatever and he's looking the wrong place, that's one thing,

1328
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: because he won't see it over here. But when he

1329
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: keeps getting hammered behind the line of scrimmage, and listen

1330
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: the Bills run game. Those guys are getting contact quick,

1331
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: they're getting hit, they're hitting getting hit quick as soon

1332
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: as they get the ball. It's not they don't have

1333
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: a lot of time before somebody's making contact with him.

1334
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: So that's an issue, and that trains guys unfortunately into

1335
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: some bad habits. So much like, so much like quarterbacks

1336
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:44,719
Speaker 1: who get hit a lot can have their internal clock

1337
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: affected in terms of how quickly they got to get

1338
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: rid of the ball. You're saying it does happen to

1339
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: running backs too, where sure, if they're getting hit behind

1340
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage a lot, it could affect their

1341
01:11:55,920 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: trust increases on assignments and given plays expect them to

1342
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: be because man oh man, Yeah, pain is the is

1343
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,719
Speaker 1: the ultimate teacher. Um. And that is the most punishing position.

1344
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: And you get you get whacked too many times, get

1345
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: pulled and you know, bent over and run over and

1346
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 1: piled on and you know, grabbed and all that. Um, yeah,

1347
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: you learn pretty you teach. You get taught pretty quick

1348
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: that you got to be ready for some contact pretty quick.

1349
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: And you start to run a little bit like me flinching,

1350
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, and you start having problems. Now,

1351
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's all Zach Moss is doing it

1352
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: all that. I'm just but I say this, I think

1353
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: you're right. Maybe it does take an edge off of

1354
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: his explosion. You know where he's where he's he's not

1355
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: exploding with to get the ball right, He's instead of

1356
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 1: has instead of exploding through to get the ball, he's

1357
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: looking around and then taking the ball kind of thing.

1358
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, um, but let's face it,

1359
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 1: the running game has not been everything they wanted it

1360
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: to be. And I was looking at statistics and all

1361
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: this stuff. These guys, you know, all these guys, do

1362
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, you see all the trends and stuff. You

1363
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 1: compare it last year this year, the running him is

1364
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: better this year and it was last year because they've gone.

1365
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: They've gone to it more, no question about it. This year.

1366
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 1: They've tried to give it a chance to go, but

1367
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,719
Speaker 1: they just haven't been healthy upfront and they haven't haven't

1368
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: gotten it done. Break time for us here. When we

1385
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey, Chris,

1386
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: how are you doing so quick? Um? Towards the end

1387
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: of your career, Steve Um, you used to run, you

1388
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: and the offense used to run. When he started playing

1389
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more receiver. Towards the end of your career,

1390
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: this misdirection um end around and I just remember how

1391
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 1: effective you were on that play. Remember that, Yes, yes,

1392
01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: I remember those play, Yeah I do. Yeah, those were

1393
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 1: Those were great, great plays. And I thought that if

1394
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: you were going to play full time receiver, you would

1395
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: have been another Steve Largent. That's just my opinion, but

1396
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: I m so my question is, uh, the the regression

1397
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: of the defensive line. Um. You know, in the beginning

1398
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 1: of the season, Rousseau was looks He looked like a

1399
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: monster against the run too, and his ability to be

1400
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 1: able to put pressure Addison, he's probably the most consistent

1401
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 1: on the line. I know that they lost Zimmer, but

1402
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: I mean watching that defensive line rotation last week, it

1403
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 1: didn't even seem like the same line. An old star

1404
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 1: was out, but the intensity just seemed to me just so,

1405
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just lethargic, and you know, just

1406
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: gets concerning going into the end of the season that

1407
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 1: what I thought was the strength of our team almost

1408
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: looks like the weakness right now. Sou But yeah, I

1409
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 1: just want to throw that out there and get your

1410
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 1: opinion that And the other thing I wanted to ask

1411
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: is do you think that this left guard position that

1412
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: was not addressed in the offseason or free agency is

1413
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: the most impactful position on the line that's caused the

1414
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 1: most problems because let's face the facts, we have no

1415
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: depth on this line. This line fully healthy, is decent.

1416
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: One guy goes down and it's a train wreck. So

1417
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: I just want to get your stops on that too. Yeah,

1418
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 1: the depth, the depth is not what they wish it was.

1419
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: And if you hear Eric would talk about this when

1420
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 1: we talk to him on at length about offensive lines.

1421
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: He'll tell you, listen, welcome to the club. There is

1422
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: not the league. Yeah, and there is not enough big

1423
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 1: guys to go around in the NFL. Most teams do

1424
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: not have the kind of depth on their offensive line

1425
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: that there's not a steep drop off. That's why you

1426
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 1: see teams like the Bills did. If a guy goes out,

1427
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: you'll see one of the other players slide over to

1428
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 1: one of the other starters slide over to take it,

1429
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: and they put another guy in at another position. They'll

1430
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: do that a lot because they'll know because of all

1431
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 1: the experimentation and the reps that they've seen, these guys

1432
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: take that they're better at front five if this guy.

1433
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 1: But if the backup is at right tackle and they

1434
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 1: move the right tackle over to left guard, that kind

1435
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: of stuff they want to because they know the backups,

1436
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: of all the backups, the guy that can play one

1437
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: spot the best, that's where they plug him in. So

1438
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: if you got to back up and you got he's

1439
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 1: got to go in the game, he's the next guy up.

1440
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: That means wherever that gap was, you cover the gap

1441
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: where the guy went, and you put this sixth guy

1442
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: at the fifth spot where he can play his best,

1443
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 1: and the other four guys, who are quality starters, they

1444
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: make up the difference. They hold it down. And that's

1445
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: why when you get two guys down like Feliciano when Brown,

1446
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: you got some big issues. Now it's a moving jaw

1447
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: and don't and so the fact that you think they

1448
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 1: didn't pay any attention to listen, they did nothing but paid.

1449
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: They had fifteen offensive linemen in plus all the guys

1450
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: they brought in and then cut. Yeah, and you know

1451
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: you say they didn't address it. They resigned Darryl Williams

1452
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:17,719
Speaker 1: and they resigned John Feliciano, who as of three weeks

1453
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: ago were the two starting guards and were playing good.

1454
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: They drafted Jack Anderson granted late in the draft, but

1455
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 1: he was a highly decorated college guard and he was

1456
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: on their practice squad and unfortunately Philadelphias signed him away.

1457
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 1: They signed him off their practice squad to their fifty

1458
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,759
Speaker 1: three man and the fact that they drafted Spencer Brown

1459
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: as a tackle allowed them to move Daryl Williams down

1460
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: into his natural spot at guard after he played so

1461
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: well at right tackle last year. He was even playing

1462
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: better guard this year, So yeah, don't ignore it. They

1463
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 1: did not ignore it at all. It's not like they

1464
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 1: didn't address it. But the combination of injuries and COVID

1465
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,919
Speaker 1: that they've got going on now, I mean they they're struggling,

1466
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: no question about it. But like I said, teams that

1467
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 1: lose two starting offensive linemen are gonna show the signs

1468
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:09,560
Speaker 1: of it. Let's go back to the phones. We go

1469
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: to Rich on a sale next Rich, what do you

1470
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 1: have for us? Hey, guys, A big fan Steve Schadefino

1471
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. I don't know why

1472
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: he isn't, but that's, you know, a different story. I

1473
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: don't like our running back. I don't like Moss, I

1474
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: don't like Singletary. I really like Kenneth Walker from Michigan State.

1475
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 1: But you know, it's probably what first round pick. He's

1476
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: not a fan of the running backs. Yeah. Well, more

1477
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: and more people are getting on that. I mean more

1478
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: people are saying, hey, all right, come on, what's going on?

1479
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 1: What's going on? What's going on? And because Brita came

1480
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 1: in and flashed a couple of playss like that's it, man,

1481
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: change horses. Let's go I'm just gonna tell you. For

1482
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 1: the season, Devin Singletary's averaging five yards to carry, and

1483
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: as a rookie he average five point one yards to carry. Now,

1484
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 1: his numbers were down last year. And look, I know

1485
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: that he's had fumbling issues over the course of his career.

1486
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's lost one yet this year, but

1487
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: he's got five fumbles. He leads the league, or led

1488
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: the league up until last week, but he's still averaging

1489
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: five yards to carry. I think there is something that

1490
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary can offer you in the run game. I'm

1491
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: not saying he's got to be your feature back, but

1492
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 1: I think he has something to offer. Matt Breeder, though

1493
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 1: I think should be playing more. He offers the speed

1494
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 1: element that the other two do not possess, and he

1495
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: has proven that he can give you something with that

1496
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: as an asset in the offense. So when you're looking

1497
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: for answers and this kid keeps popping up as an answer,

1498
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: you use the answer. Yeah. And you've probably all heard

1499
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 1: about the interview that Sean McDermot did with Howard and

1500
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: Jeremy this morning. They said, hey, has he earned more snaps?

1501
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 1: He said, yes, Well, there you go. I mean, so

1502
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's saying the same thing that the rest of

1503
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 1: us are. They're gonna he's gonna looks like he's gonna

1504
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: get more touches down in New Orleans, and so we'll

1505
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:07,600
Speaker 1: see what that looks like, see what it looks like.

1506
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: We are still awaiting the injury report from the Saints.

1507
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: It has not been released yet. As we mentioned at

1508
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,480
Speaker 1: the top of the show, the Bills had theirs out. Colbeasley,

1509
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmond's good to go as of now, Spencer Brown

1510
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: and Star Latoula still on the COVID reserve list, and

1511
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: John Feliciano as of now still on injured reserve. The

1512
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: Saint situation is a mess. They have a myriad of

1513
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 1: players important players on their injury report and we're waiting

1514
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: to see what their designations will be for tomorrow. But

1515
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: right now, starting running back Alvin Kamara did not practice

1516
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: at all this week. We're waiting for an update on

1517
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: his status. Offensive tackles Ryan Ramchick and Tron Armstead, both starters.

1518
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Ramchick did not practice it all this week due to

1519
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: a knee injury. Armstead was practicing on a limited basis.

1520
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 1: Defensive end starting defensive end Marcus Davenport shoulder injury, not

1521
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: practicing this week. His backup Tanno Passano did not practice

1522
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 1: this week with an ankle injury, mark Ingram the running

1523
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: back who they just got back in a deal with Houston.

1524
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: He was limited on Monday, then did not practice at

1525
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 1: all on Tuesday due to a knee injury. And there's

1526
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 1: a couple other players as well. We should also mention

1527
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: that the backup offensive tackle to Ryan Ramchick, the rookie

1528
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:41,520
Speaker 1: land and Young who had to play last week against Philadelphia,

1529
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: suffered a foot injury that's going to require season ending surgery.

1530
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 1: He was put on IR yesterday, as was the tight

1531
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 1: end Adam Troutman, they're starting tight end, sprained mcl gonna

1532
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: miss four to six weeks. They iroed him yesterday as well.

1533
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,600
Speaker 1: It is a cornic hopia of injuries that I have

1534
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: not seen in a while here. Yeah, they're struggling with it,

1535
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:08,680
Speaker 1: but by the same token, I mean they keep on

1536
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: keeping on. I mean they're gonna be. They're gonna be.

1537
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: But they've lost three in a row and it's due

1538
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 1: in large parts to the fact they don't have anybody

1539
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 1: healthy and their quarterback is they're starting quarterbacks out. They

1540
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 1: went with Trevor Simmeum. He got him a win when

1541
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: when he finished the same game, he finished that Jamis

1542
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: Winston left. Simeon finished it and won it. Now they've

1543
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,560
Speaker 1: struggled since then. So I think you're gonna just like

1544
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: we've been talking about. I think the Saints are gonna

1545
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: come in absolutely desperate, beyond desperate to win a game,

1546
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 1: kind of like the Titans last year after the whole

1547
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: COVID mess. Nothing I'll lose, right right. I think it's

1548
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: now they've Sean Payton has always been a courageous head coach.

1549
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: Go for it, surprise this fake that Taysom Hill, go

1550
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: in and do this. He's pulling brute Drew Breese off

1551
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,799
Speaker 1: the field to put Taysom Hill in a special package.

1552
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 1: But Drew Brees, I mean, he's the guy that out

1553
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: of the twelve five thousand yards seasons in the NFL history,

1554
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: he's got seven of them. So he sits down and

1555
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,719
Speaker 1: they put Taysom Hill in. That takes a pretty gutsy

1556
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 1: head coach. Sean Payton's all of that. He's smart, he's innovative,

1557
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get everything he can come up with

1558
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: tomorrow in the Superdome, particularly with this roster in the

1559
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 1: shape it's end, they feel like I think they're gonna

1560
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: feel like they've got to do something coaching wise, tactical

1561
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: wise that the Bills are not expecting in order to

1562
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: get an edge. I really think that they're gonna think

1563
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: that that means Taysom Hill as a running back from

1564
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 1: the quarterback spot where they go back and run the

1565
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: old you know, quarterback RPOs, all of that stuff to

1566
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 1: give Taysom Hill a chance to run it and just

1567
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: grind out first downs, or you know, with with Ingram

1568
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:53,600
Speaker 1: mark Ingram there the all time leading rusher for the

1569
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: franchise in there, I just know that they're gonna you're

1570
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: gonna get something that's gonna be noteworth the in this game.

1571
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: In that regard, let's go back to the phones. We

1572
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: go to Bryce and Buffalo. Bryce, what do you have

1573
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 1: for us here on one Bills Live? Hey, I's gone good.

1574
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,719
Speaker 1: A few things I want to touch up on last game.

1575
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 1: I think made a big mistake not going back into

1576
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 1: base defense when we're clearly getting pounded on the run.

1577
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 1: Same thing at the Tennessee game, he stayed in nickel

1578
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 1: the whole time. Maybe take Karen Johnson now, putting another

1579
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: linebacker give us a little bit better chance. Also, I

1580
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: think there's a couple of free agents out there. David

1581
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: to Castro, former Steeler guard, helped the offensive line, Gino

1582
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: Watkins Quan short one techniques. I think they could help

1583
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 1: the line, especially if Star goes out again. I mean

1584
01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: defense of the wreck without them, Okay, fair enough, Bryce,

1585
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: I appreciate the phone call. The Bills did play with

1586
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: some bass sets in the Titans game. That's actually the

1587
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: last time they played with bass defense. They did some

1588
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: of that in the Titans game, still mostly nickel. Leslie

1589
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 1: Frasier actually answered that very question, did you ever think

1590
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 1: about going base defense against the Colts last week? And

1591
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:13,639
Speaker 1: he said no. Said the reason why was he feels

1592
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: they are as good a run stopping unit in their

1593
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 1: nickel package because of tarn Johnson's ability as a run supporter.

1594
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: And then the second point he made was we had

1595
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,600
Speaker 1: eight in the box for most of the game, and

1596
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 1: if we have eight in the box and we're still

1597
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: not effective, it's because of two things, gap integrity and tackling.

1598
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,520
Speaker 1: And in his opinion, after reviewing the film, their problems

1599
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 1: were rooted in gap integrity and tackling, not who they

1600
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: had on the field. It was more about maintaining their

1601
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:52,599
Speaker 1: gaps and making good sound, fundamental tackles. And that's going

1602
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 1: to be a challenge this week. Steve and I know

1603
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:56,960
Speaker 1: we gotta get to break because Sean McDermott has a

1604
01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: short week. You can't practice those fundamentals and do the

1605
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 1: wrapping up and all of that stuff. So I asked

1606
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:04,560
Speaker 1: him after the game on Sunday, how tough is it

1607
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: going to be to check all those boxes on a

1608
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: short week and hope to be better on the field

1609
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: this week. Is that It's not easy, but we gotta

1610
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: do it. We don't have a choice, have to do it. Well,

1611
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. We gotta take a break here, Steve and

1612
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: I back to close it up next on One Bill's Live.

Speaker 1: about the path to the playoffs for the Bills, which

1620
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 1: may be reduced to only one path at this point

1621
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,759
Speaker 1: in time. We also talk about an exciting new metric

1622
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 1: for pass rushers that measure their explosiveness. Yeah, we did,

1623
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,600
Speaker 1: we run that thing. Quiz me every time, shaking in
