18
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: it's kind of a one effort.

19
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: One problem, and I get it's not a problem really.

20
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: The traditions I'm going to I'm kind of a point

21
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: in my life where I've seen traditions come and be good,

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: but they kind of evolve as people age out. Like

23
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: my mom and dad used to hope and now not

24
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: happening anymore, right, So.

25
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Are there any things that have been moved off the

26
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: menu because of that? Or I mean the menu is largely.

27
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's a very different gathering, now, very different gathering.

28
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: My mom and dad aren't there, and it's it's now

29
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm I've become my parents, right, my.

30
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 4: Way the patriarch.

31
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Right, So we ho. You know, I've got a couple

32
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: of kids coming in from out of town with the

33
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: spouses and stuff. They're coming in, but the other kids

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: have got all these grandkids, so they got to go

35
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: to the other in law. You know, we've got to

36
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: double truck to balance that equation. And it's and plus

37
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: when you start your like we did, when we start

38
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: your married life as a player, and every Thanksgiving is

39
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: like a three hour holiday. It's not a three day holidays.

40
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: I sprint, Yeah, it's get you go to practice in

41
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: the morning, you come home and eat dinner and spend

42
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: the evening at home, and that's the holiday. It's not

43
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: like a whole weekend, Black Friday, the whole thing. And

44
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of where we're at, you and I are

45
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: at right now. So we never really got that baked

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: in tradition like none other.

47
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: That being said, I have probably made about four trips

48
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: to the grocery store in the last four is just

49
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: grabbing stuff.

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Grocery stores are crazy too, man.

51
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: Whether it's stocking the cupboards because the kids are home,

52
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: or getting some things you know that you know the

53
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: parents are gonna need while they're here, or stuff we

00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: have to bring to my brother in law is on Thursday.

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: You know we're doing all of that.

Speaker 1: Your your kids are just fresh out of the house though, right,

57
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, because and then so you for us,

58
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560

Speaker 1: ready for people showing up and.

00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: You just gotta make sure people are fed.

66
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2: Still look and yeah, have the TV working for and

68
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: it's a good slate for Thanksgiving.

69
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: It really is. I got to tell you, I was looking.

70
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: At Green Bay, Detroit, Kansas City, Dallas, Cincinnati, Baltimore.

71
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: Hello, Yeah, that's a good slate.

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: Very good ravo to Mike North in the schedule makers

73
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: at the NFL.

74
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: Nice nicely done.

75
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: It is, it really is. It's a very very nice

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: dog game. What about and how about the Friday? You

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: got a black Friday game at three pm? Yeah?

78
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: Who is that again?

79
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: It's Bears at Eagles and the Bears are well, they're

80
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: identical record to the Eagles.

81
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 4: They're a bit beat up on defense.

82
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: Tremaine Edmonds is on ir They got like four other

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: guys on defense that are out injured, which would be

84
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: a nice transition to the Bill's injury report, which we

85
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: present as part of the Bill's practice updates, presented by

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: Lee Coom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Will

87
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: begin with the roster swap at the wide receiver position.

88
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: Late Tuesday, the Bill signed for reagent wide receiver Brandon Cooks,

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: who was recently waived by the Saints in a mutual parting.

90
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: So it's clear the guy wasn't released because they.

91
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 4: Deemed him ineffective.

92
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: He made a request he did not have a major

93
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: role on their team, so they agreed to mutually part ways.

94
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: He cleared waivers and then the Bills signed him as

95
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: a free agent. The recently turned thirty two year old

96
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: in his twelfth NFL season. He has six one thousand

97
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: yard seasons in his career. Last one of those came

98
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. Last season in a prominent role

99
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 2: offensively was in twenty twenty three with Dallas, when he

100
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: had fifty four receptions for six hundred and fifty seven

101
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: yards and eight touchdowns. He filled the open roster spot

102
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: left behind by McCole Hardman going on ir last week,

103
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: but with seven receivers on the active roster, the Bills

104
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: today released wide receiver Elijah Moore. Moore signed a one

105
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: year deal with the team this passed offseason, but had

106
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 2: just nine receptions for one hundred and twelve yards this

107
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: season in nine games. I just don't ever feel like

108
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: they tapped into everything he could do as a receiver

109
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: in this offense. I don't know why the transition was.

110
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: It seemed like a struggle at times.

111
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know either. I just nobody's probably more

112
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: disappointed than he is. Yeah, I don't know. Well, we've

113
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: all and let's face it, the Bill's fans, you and

114
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I and all the callers that have called into our

115
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: show have all been like, it's hard to get a

116
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: handle on who the wide receiver group is, certainly on

117
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: a week week basis. They've had guys in and out

118
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: of the lineup. Even now, ken Ka's hurt, Shaki's been

119
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: dealing with something for a while. They've been hobbled. Keon

120
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: Coleman getting benched for disciplinary reasons then because of the

121
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: short week, stayed there. I mean, it's been a mess

122
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: when you look at it in the big picture, how

123
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: this offense has scored as much as it has is

124
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: I means like yeah.

125
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he had seventeen targets in nine games. He

126
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: also had six carries for twenty four yards and the

127
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: touchdown against the Jets. Remember he ran that in on

128
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: like an end to a round handoff back in Week two.

129
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: That was his only touchdown in a Bill's uniform. So

130
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: he goes to waivers now and we'll see if anybody

131
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: picks him up going forward around the league. Injury report

132
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 2: for the Bills did not portend good news for Sunday

133
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: not practicing today. Dalton Kincaid, Spencer Brown, Terrell, Bernard Curtis Samuel,

134
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: and Dion Dawkins, who we learned today is in concussion protocol.

135
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: He was examined for a head injury during the game

136
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: Thursday night, was cleared by the independent neurological consultant and

137
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: re entered the game. Finished the game. The next day,

138
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: concussion symptoms showed up, so he was placed in concussion protocol.

139
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: We'll have to see if the extra three days last

140
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: week helps him move through the protocol. But he's not

141
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: even practicing today, which means he's not doing football related activities,

142
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: which would put him in step four of the five

143
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: step return to play protocol, which would you would think

144
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: give him at least a chance to get back in

145
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: the lineup. Limited in practice today Max Hairston, who remains

146
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: in concussion protocol. But there's a guy who's in step

147
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: four of the five step return to play protocol. He's

148
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: doing football related activities in practice. Defensive tackle Fedarian mathis

149
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: also limited in practice today. Offensive tackle Tyland Grabel, who

150
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 2: remains on injured reserve, opens his practice window today. Grabel

151
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: has twenty one days to practice before the team has

152
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: to make a decision on whether to add him to

153
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: the act roster and put him on season any injured reserve.

154
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: But in light of the potential shortage at offensive tackle.

155
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask coach, and I did today. Could

156
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: he be a consideration for the open roster spot left

157
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: behind by Moore's release. I'm not looking for him to

158
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: go right in the starting lineup. The guy hasn't even

159
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: practiced in three months, let alone played in the game.

160
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: But I'm looking.

161
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get a sense as could this guy

162
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: be a swing tackle option? You know, if God forbid,

163
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: you got two other guys starting and one of them

164
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: gets hurt. So he said that he'll have to see

165
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 2: how the week goes and how much rust he has

166
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: to knock off. So the Bills, with the potential of

167
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: not having their two starting tackles on Sunday, makes the

168
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: margins for this game, Steve now precariously thin. Yeah, here

169
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: are their options. Let's just say the worst happens. Okay

170
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: Dawkins isn't at a protocol, Spencer Brown can't play with

171
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: his shoulder entry. Here are their options at offensive tackle,

172
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: Ryan Vandermark, It's not a bad option. Who we would

173
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: almost assume is going to start at one side or

174
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: the other on Sunday. Rookie Chase Lundt, who has been

175
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: a healthy and active most of the season their six

176
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: round draft pick out of Yukon. And then the other

177
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: offensive tackle option is Alec Anderson, who has played offensive

178
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: tackle but last did it at UCLA. He was a

179
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: three year starter at offensive tackle, played right tackle at UCLA,

180
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: but then projected to a guard or a center in

181
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: the NFL, but he has offensive tackle experience. And then

182
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: obviously Tyland Grabil who's just getting his first practice in

183
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: today after being on the shelf for three months. Not ideal,

184
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's a catastrophic situation. But these

185
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: guys haven't played very much with the guards that are

186
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: going to line up next to them. You're doing it

187
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: in a road environment, and you're doing it against the

188
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: team that is fifth in the league in sacks, and

189
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: not only has TJ. Watt, but Alex Heismith is coming

190
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: back from injury this week along with Nick Herbig, who

191
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: has six and a half sacks on the season as

192
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: their third guy through well.

193
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: In retrospect, there's no question the Tyland Gray ball and

194
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: all the stuff that started moving with him and his

195
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: injury had to do with with Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins.

196
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, that's why that happened. They could

197
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: see this coming early in the week and they're like,

198
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: you know what, we got to get him ready. So yeah,

199
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: Dion getting back in the game and then showing up

200
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: with symptoms after the day after or whatever after, and

201
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: then now and still not practicing. It's not good.

202
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you've gone Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday once five

203
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: days and he's still.

204
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: Not And Spencer Brown was hurting during that game with

205
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury hurting so and it's his right shoulder,

206
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: so if he's playing right tackle the edge is hurting,

207
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: that's not good.

208
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: So there's a real possibility there without both their starting tackles.

209
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: And you say, well, don't throw the ball, just run it.

210
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: I got a news for you. These two tackles are

211
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: an instrumental component of Buffalo's run game and their scheme.

212
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: Well, and then you throw Dalton Kincaid on top of that,

213
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play, maybe he's not practicing. It starts

214
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: to get ugly pretty fast.

215
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: I mean you are precariously thin on offense.

216
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's tough. Yes, I'm very curious to

217
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: see if the line on this game moves. Not that

218
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm a betting person. I can't as an NFL employee,

219
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: but I'm wondering if the people in Vegas changed this thing,

220
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: because I think it was like four and a half

221
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: five and a half point favored for the Bills right now.

222
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: The expect of them playing without their two starting offensive

223
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: tackles in this game.

224
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 4: Changed my thoughts on it. Well, yeah, I mean, and

225
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 4: not for nothing.

226
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: The Steelers are going to be playing without their starting

227
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: left tackle this week, Roder.

228
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: He's already clear, so.

229
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: They're going to have either Calvin Anderson or Andrews Pete

230
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: playing left tackle for them.

231
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Aaron Rodgers be taking snaps. He'll play h even

232
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: though he was out last week with his when he's

233
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: got a probably when he's got a broken wrist. Yeah,

234
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: there's you know, this is one of those games and

235
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: who's who can gut it out the best. I would

236
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: anticipate the Steelers running the football a ton against the

237
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Yeah, I mean a ton. Literally.

238
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: They'll probably try to run it like forty times. This

239
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: is the game plan because this is what Mike Tomlin does.

240
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: He is by nature a conservative coach, particularly offensively, so

241
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: they are gonna run it forty times against a run

242
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: defense that they see on film is leaky. They're gonna

243
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: run it forty times. Even though they haven't run the

244
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: ball particularly well this season. I think they're like twenty

245
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: fifth and rushing offense.

246
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Even if they can't don't have any success doing it.

247
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: Unless the Bills jump out on the scoreboard, right, they're

248
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: not gonna stop running it.

249
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: They'll keep running the ball.

250
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: They'll keep running they have to. They'll punt it, and.

251
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: They'll hope their defense gets takeaways, because news flash, they

252
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: get takeaways. They had more takeaways than any other team

253
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: in football last year, even more than the Bills. The

254
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: Bills had a better turnover margin, but the Steelers had

255
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: more takeaways than the Bills last year in a year

256
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: where the Bills had thirty two.

257
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's what you're gonna get. The Steelers

258
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: are gonna hand it off behind seven offensive linemen and

259
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: a three hundred pound tight end, and they're gonna dare

260
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: the Bills to bear up and stop continue to stop it.

261
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh has the second most takeaways in the league thus

262
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: far this season, with twenty. They got two more last

263
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: week against Chicago. And here's the thing. The Steelers get

264
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: forced fumbles. Yeah, that's how they get a lot of

265
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: their takeaways. Since twenty twenty two, the Pittsburgh Steelers have

266
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: fifty eight forced fumbles. That is the most in the

267
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: league over that span. So it's not just this year

268
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: they're doing it. They do it as a matter of practice.

269
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: It is like a philosophical staple of Arizon defense under

270
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator Terrell Austin. So that's just how they operate. So, yeah,

271
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: this game took on a much different complexion when we

272
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: all realize that the prospect is very realistic that the

273
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: Bills play this game without their two starting offensive tackles.

274
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: The thirty two nominees for the twenty twenty five art

275
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: Ruining Sportsmanship Award are out. Each NFL team nominates a

276
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: player for the award, which recognizes individuals around the league

277
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: who exemplify outstanding sportsmanship. The Bills nominee is Josh Allen,

278
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: so kind of cool deal there. We'll see who ultimately

279
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: wins that, presumably that'll be unveiled at the NFL Honors

280
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: in February.

281
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 4: Let's go around the NFL.

282
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: Presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the

283
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills news from the Colts as quarterback Daniel Jones

284
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: has an injured fibula and will be limited in practice today.

285
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: The session is a walkthrough, so it's an estimation of

286
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: what his level of participation would be in a normal practice.

287
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: But that is new on the radar. I mean, nobody

288
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: even knew that Daniel Jones was dinged, but here he

289
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: is with a fibula injury. So we'll have to see

290
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: where that goes broken.

291
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: We don't know.

292
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: It's just listed as fibula, so it is the non

293
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: weight bearing bone of the lower leg. That tibbia is

294
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: the weight bearing bone, so you could play with a

295
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: cracked fibula conceivably. He was listed as limited, so I

296
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: would guess it's probably not broken if he's limited in

297
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: like if he would be a limited.

298
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: Participant, but you never know.

299
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: I remember when Travis Henry played with a broken fibula

300
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: here ran for one hundred and forty three yards and

301
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 2: a touchdown. He was Travis was He was a different cat.

302
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 3: It was his cat.

303
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 4: He was off the rails, hard dude, just about anything.

304
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: We had this conversation too, and I don't want to

305
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: get ahead of this, but about this Joe Burrow getting

306
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: back from his toy, right, you and I. I was

307
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: surprised because there's been a huge debate at three and eight.

308
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: At three and eight do you let him play? And

309
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: you and I both agreed.

310
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, you're you're you're only one game out of

311
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: or two? I think there are two games in the

312
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 2: lost column. No, it's more than that, I think. So

313
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: the let me say three games seven. The Ravens are

314
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: in first place in the AFC North at six sixty.

315
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: And bengalmes back games.

316
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: Bengals are three and eight, so they are three games

317
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: back in the lost column, but they play the Ravens twice,

318
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: so that's two games you make up head to head,

319
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: and then you would have the tie breaker if you

320
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 2: can beat them twice.

321
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: And I get the playoff stuff and all of that.

322
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: You're paying the guy a bunch of money. And how

323
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: different would it be about playing Joe Burrow if he

324
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: had played all eleven games that they have played this

325
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: year and they're still three and eight, would you play

326
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: him then? Yeah? Yeah, you just finishes the season. Right, Well,

327
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you talking about?

328
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: I think those people, the people that say don't play

329
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: him are of the belief you have no chance of

330
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: making the playoffs.

331
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: If you're mathematically eliminated.

332
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: Why don't just keep everybody home?

333
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 5: Then?

334
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: Right right? I want to just four foot the rest

335
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: of your games.

336
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: The argument is, he's the franchise, don't risk further injury.

337
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: Just came back from an injury. But you gotta play

338
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 2: and try to get that you got. Otherwise, why are

339
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: you playing?

340
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: That's yeah, you got to continue to play. And of

341
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: course Joe wants to play. And if they set him down,

342
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a year of his career gone.

343
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: Just well, that's it's happened before. He's missed the majority

344
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: of other seasons. I mean, he tore his ACL, missed

345
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: the whole year. I know, can't stay.

346
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna do it because he's injury prone,

347
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: well he's not gonna get less injury prone just because

348
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: you sit him out this year. I mean, this year

349
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: is not gonna have any effect on next year. And

350
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: I get it too. You can go three and fourteen

351
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: and get a better draft pick, give him some help,

352
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: maybe you win more games. Okay, yeah, play the guy.

353
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 2: Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson full participant in practice today after

354
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: his third new injury in a month left him out

355
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: of practice yesterday. Jackson has a toe injury. He and

356
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 2: the Ravens play the Bengals on Thanksgiving tomorrow, and the

357
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons are likely to be without star wide receiver

358
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: Drake London for a second straight week. Head coach Raheem

359
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: Morris said today that London is doubtful for the Falcons

360
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 2: game Sunday against the Jets. He's been dealing with a

361
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: PCL strain and has left me left knee miss last

362
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: Sunday's game against the Saints. London is the team leader

363
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. So that is

364
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: around the NFL presented by Collida Health. So I don't know,

365
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: I have much different feelings about about this game against

366
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: the Steelers. Now, Yeah, in light of the injury report today,

367
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, dear Godeah.

368
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: We talked to Dan orlovskyin there, and the Pittsburgh defense

369
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: has been struggling, no question about it. Their pass rush

370
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: and their takeaways haven't been struggling. But it's a lot

371
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: like the Bills defense was last year. You get turnovers

372
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: and that solves a lot of problems that your defense

373
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: may or may not have and that's where the Steelers are.

374
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: Their pass rush is pretty good with t. J. Watt

375
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: and high Smith when they're healthy and out there and playing,

376
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: they're they're tough, they're tough to pass protect against, and

377
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: the turnovers help them. But the secondary and the way

378
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: they and it's the same story as we've been talking

379
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: about here in Buffalo. Their marriage and their front doesn't

380
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: doesn't mesh very well. Their secondary has struggled. So you

381
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: would think in a normal game when everybody's healthy, in

382
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: this situation, the Bills could score some points and the

383
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: Steelers would have to keep up with them. And but

384
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: now with two offensive tackles, it may not play and

385
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: you're pass catching tight end down, or at least it

386
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: looked not practicing. The complexion of this game does change significantly. Yeah,

387
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm Bills are good. They're gonna make some plays,

388
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna do some good things. But man oh man,

389
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: now it's it's a it's an even bigger challenge to

390
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: go into Pittsburgh and play that team.

391
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: And that brings us to Heating Up and Cooling Down,

392
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: which is presented by T Mark Hvac and Plumbing, the

393
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: official residential HVAC partner of the Buffalo Bills, heating up

394
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: for the Bills. Believe it or not, the Bill's third

395
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: down defense. That might come as a shock to some,

396
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: but Buffalo's third down defense has been better of late.

397
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: In their last three games, opponents of the Buffalo Bills

398
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: are just fourteen of forty one on third down conversions,

399
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 2: including two of twelve last week against the Texans. That

400
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 2: is a thirty four percent conversion rate. Even if you

401
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 2: go back four games, the percentage holds thirty four percent

402
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: conversion by their opponents. So they's done a better job

403
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: of getting off the field on third down, which was

404
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: a persistent problem last year when they finished twenty ninth

405
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: in the league, and it was a persistent problem in

406
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: the first half of this season. They have been better

407
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: at it so far in the last month. Thirty four

408
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: percent conversion all out.

409
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, give give me the stinky third down conversion rate

410
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: and not the two and two record, you know, give me, well, yeah,

411
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: give me the four give me the fourher record when

412
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: they were stinking on the defensive third downs as opposed

413
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: to the two and two record, and they're really good

414
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: on third down as you well know, Steve, there is

415
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: no parter system in the NFL.

416
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't work that way.

417
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: You get what you deserve.

418
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 4: So that has looked better.

419
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: They've created more third down and long situations, which has

420
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: helped them get off the field. You remember this team

421
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 2: was good at getting opponents in third and long earlier

422
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 2: this season, but then they give up a third and

423
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: long all the time, couldn't get off the field. So

424
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: they've done a better job. Just I'll give it to

425
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: you a game by game in terms of their opponents

426
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: thus far this season, in terms of where they've improved

427
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: in terms of the conversion rate allowed. I want to

428
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: get these games right here from the last four because

429
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to miss an opponent and be incorrect.

430
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: But if you look at it for the Bill's last

431
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: four games so one, two, three, four, Kansas City game,

432
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 2: Chiefs were four of eleven on third down versions. The

433
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: next week Miami granted a loss, but don't blame the

434
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 2: Bills defense three of thirteen conversions on third down. I

435
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: know Devon h Chan ran wild on them, but this

436
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: was a defense that gave up sixteen points through the

437
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 2: first two and a half quarters and their offense got

438
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: shut out, and then by the time you got to

439
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: the third and fourth quarter, that defense was exhausted because

440
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: they had been on the field for almost forty minutes.

441
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay had success nine of sixteen on third down,

442
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 2: but last week, as I said, Texans two of twelve,

443
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: So better on third down defensively cooling down Bill's offensive

444
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: line availability.

445
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, as we just discussed for the last fifteen minutes,

446
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 4: so good for so long.

447
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the only Spencer Brown has taken one game

448
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: off I think in the last each of the last

449
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: two years, and that's the only man game they've lost

450
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: on their offensive line until they got into blowout or

451
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: whatever and they started emptying the bench and giving those

452
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: guys a seat in the fourth quarter. Now you got

453
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: both Spencer Brown and Dian Dawkins doubtful to make this

454
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: game at least at this point of this. You know,

455
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: it's the first day of practice of the week, so

456
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: I got a long way to go.

457
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: But man, oh man, they have been uncommonly healthy on

458
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 2: the offensive line. Spencer Brown was the only guy who

459
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: missed a start last year, and that was against the Chiefs.

460
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 2: In Week eleven. Spencer Brown missed a start this year.

461
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 2: Was that against the Chiefs. Also, No, it wasn't vander

462
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: Mark for that game, but he missed a game. He

463
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: missed a start this year as well. They really haven't missed.

464
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: Might have been the Chiefs in the lineup the rest

465
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: of the season, but it looks like it could be

466
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 2: very different this week, as they might be without both

467
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: offensive tackles.

468
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 4: So that is what's cooling down.

484
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,000

00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 6: No, all good.

486
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: Look at all that stuff that you do for a

487
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: stadium guy on there A.

488
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,200

Speaker 1: Yeah.

490
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: So I guess first, Andy, why don't you just I

491
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: would imagine that there have been season ticket holders over

492
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: these last couple of years, knowing the life of this

493
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: stadium is coming to an end, have probably inquired as

494
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 2: to whether something like this might take place, Namely, people

495
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: that have had, for example, season tickets for the last

496
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: thirty years in the same spot, like, Hey, when this

497
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: stadium goes, I'd like to take my seats home with

498
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: me at some point in time. How much I'm curious

499
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: as to the feedback from fans because you're always, you know,

500
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: taking the pulse of the fans.

501
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: That's kind of part of your job.

502
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: Was there an inquiry like this from time to time

503
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 2: that you'd be getting from the fan base? Yeah?

504
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 6: I mean absolutely.

505
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 7: Fans have reached out to our ticket office, our guest

506
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 7: experienced team, some of our staff on game days, and

507
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 7: we've assured them that you know, this is something that's

508
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 7: been in the works for a while.

509
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 6: Working very closely with.

510
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 7: Erie County, we vetted a lot of different companies and

511
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 7: we landed on, you know, Legends Global Merchandise. Brandon Steiner

512
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 7: is an executive with that group that really has a

513
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 7: history with Steiner Sports and previously previous company has and

514
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 7: they've done Yankee Stadium, the Carrier Dome, a bunch of

515
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 7: other places. So it was really a no brainer about

516
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 7: who the county decided to go with. But yeah, I mean,

517
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 7: the fans are excited about this opportunity and it's been

518
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 7: successful at other places. And the cool thing is, we

519
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 7: don't we really don't know what Bill's Mafia is going.

520
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: To do with this.

521
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: But I mean you're telling I mean, certainly you don't

522
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: want people bringing, you know, wrenches to the last right, right,

523
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 1: I mean what kind of timeframe are you looking for

524
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: about maybe this taking play?

525
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 7: Like, Yeah, I mean, it's this is great timing. It's

526
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 7: rolling out today as we speak. So emails are going

527
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 7: to our season ticket holders, our suite members, our club members,

528
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 7: anyone who's got a season account with us is going

529
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 7: to get that opportunity in an email with a link

530
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 7: to the site to take a look at what's available

531
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 7: with seating. But yeah, this has been something in the

532
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 7: works for a while. I think the good thing is

533
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 7: we're being very conservative. We really don't know what to

534
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 7: expect from the fan base, But we also know Bills

535
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 7: Mafia really wants a piece of this history. They're excited

536
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 7: about this opportunity, and I think.

537
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 6: It's going to be exciting for them to to get involved.

538
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

539
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: So it's kind of a collaborative effort here because it's

540
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: Eerie County Legends Global Collectible Exchange working together obviously with

541
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: the Bills on this to get this memorabilia program off

542
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: the ground for Oldhei Mark Stadium.

543
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: Does it go beyond just seats?

544
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: Andy, Will there be other things that could be up

545
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: and available for purchase as well as memorabilia?

546
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean absolutely, we wanted to kick it off

547
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 7: with the seats because I think that's the number one

548
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 7: sure I would ask fans yes to have It's so

549
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 7: cool to have a couple of seats that you put

550
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 7: in your man cave or you have in your garage,

551
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 7: you put in your living.

552
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: Room, you know, in your office whatever.

553
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 6: My wife's already knowed the living room.

554
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 7: But yes, but yeah, we're we're definitely rolling out other

555
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 7: options and that'll come within the next few weeks, the

556
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 7: next couple of months as the season progresses. Cool things

557
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 7: such as that they've rolled out ideas with plaques with

558
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 7: artificial turf on there from the field. Maybe it's the

559
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 7: blue part of the logo, it's the red part, it's

560
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 7: a white part, it's the green part. Different cool options

561
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 7: with the turf, the goal posts. They've talked about maybe.

562
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: Cup holders out of goal posts.

563
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 6: So they do.

564
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 7: Definitely have a lot of really unique and cool ideas

565
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 7: with other pieces of the stadium.

566
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm so old. I when I was playing, we played

567
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: a game in Berlin at Olympic Stadium and it was

568
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 1: just after the Berlin Wall had come down, and they

569
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: were selling pieces of rubble on the wall, you know, everywhere.

570
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

571
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: So, I mean the whole place is made out of

572
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: concrete over there, right, So yeah, I mean, I don't

573
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: know how far deep down that rabbit hole you go,

574
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: but everybody's gonna want something.

575
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 6: Yeah.

576
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, there's so many opportunities, right Steve,

577
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 7: I mean, there's just everything you can think of. The

578
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 7: section signage, I forgot it section one point one, your

579
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 7: whole life for twenty years. There's probably the seven hundred

580
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 7: and such people that live have seats in that section.

581
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 6: They're all gonna want that one section.

582
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: I've spoken to a ton of people as well who

583
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: had season tickets for decades. But you look, it says, yeah,

584
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: we were here, we were over there, then we were

585
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: here for a minute. We really liked these seats here,

586
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: but then we moved over here, and we like them

587
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: even all that stuff they've sat because they've been in

588
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: the stadium so long, they've moved around a ton.

589
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

590
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 7: I mean it's, uh, we've heard so many stories too, right,

591
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 7: the history of the stadium, the history of the team.

592
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 7: It's about these memories that we've all had, you know,

593
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 7: when we've gone to Bills games, we all remember something

594
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 7: about our tenure here as a fan, right as a staff,

595
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 7: as a player. I mean, we want.

596
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 6: A piece of that history for ourselves too, right.

597
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: And what about there's got to be also, like high

598
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: end stuff. I'm not talking about the TV that's in

599
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: your suite, although those are there, you know. I mean

600
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: they got to do something with those, right, things like pictures,

601
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: stuff in the you know, fixtures, cool light everything, even

602
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: like the lights hanging down in the tunnels. Everything is

603
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: like it's all going.

604
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

605
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 7: I mean, the enormity of this program is really kind

606
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 7: of staggering because some of the stuff is going to

607
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 7: go over to the new stadium, some of it is

608
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 7: going to be donated, some of it's going to go

609
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 7: through these programs to our fan base, our value Bill's

610
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 7: Mafia fan base. They they deserve to have this opportunity, right,

611
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 7: So all of that still has to happen. And then,

612
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 7: by the way, everything else needs to be demolition. So

613
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 7: there's the demo of the stadium and all that needs

614
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 7: to take place there to make it safe even for demolition.

615
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

616
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: Okay, so Buffalo bills dot com slash stadium seats to

617
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: pre order today. Seats are available. We know that that's

618
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: step one, and it's kind of a no brainer. As

619
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: you said, Andy, do you have any idea on the

620
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 2: timetable for the rollout of next steps when those are

621
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: decided upon as to what those items might be down

622
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: the lot. I don't need to know what the items are.

623
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: I'm just curious for the timeframe for like stage two

624
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: or stage three where it's more than just seats any

625
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: idea on when that might be rolling, Yeah.

626
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 6: A little bit. They're working on that right now.

627
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 7: So I think that the goal for the next steps

628
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 7: would be to have something roll out before the holidays,

629
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 7: okay in December, and then again in early to mid January,

630
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 7: so to have a constant flow of hey, here's the

631
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 7: next roll, next wave of opportunities to purchase something unique

632
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 7: and different. Right, So, yes, it's going to be It's

633
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 7: taken a long time to get us to this point,

634
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 7: to be honest with you, lots of hands in the

635
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 7: cookie jar, so to speak. But we wanted to do

636
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 7: it the right way. We didn't want to rush things

637
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 7: and make sure that when the fans are today online

638
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 7: that they're actually going to be able to reserve their

639
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 7: own specific seats. So I think that also sometimes gets lost.

640
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 7: People are going to get their same seats that they

641
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 7: sat in for the vast majority of the seating. There's

642
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 7: going to be some areas of the stadium where the

643
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 7: bleachers are that maybe.

644
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 6: They can't get their specific bleacher seat.

645
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 7: But there's manufacturing involved because think about the way our

646
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 7: sleeping roll is.

647
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the bleacher seats got to be sliced up.

648
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 7: Well, that and every two seats of the chairbacks. You're

649
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 7: going to be missing at armrests because you share arm

650
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 7: rests with people, So there's some manufacturing involved. The seats

651
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 7: have to be on a base, because the base of

652
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 7: the seats today is into the side of the concrete.

653
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 7: We want them to be standing so fans can sit

654
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 7: on them. So there's some other they're functional right right,

655
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 7: that are part of this whole program that we had

656
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 7: to really take into consideration. So, but then all the

657
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 7: seats will be either mailed, shipped, or else. Fans can

658
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 7: also opt to do a pickup in the spring. So

659
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 7: once the season's over, we're going to go to town

660
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 7: with the program operationally and then get everything ready for

661
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 7: fans to either have those seats be shipped or picked

662
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 7: up in person at the stadium.

663
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 4: All right, that's awesome.

664
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 6: Lots of coordination, Yeah, it sounds like it.

665
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: I mean not to mention the fact that you know

666
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 2: what inventory you have in terms of those stadium seats,

667
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: but when you're talking about things like the goalposts that

668
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: are probably going to be chopped up and potentially into

669
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: cup holders, well, what's the inventory on that is there?

670
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: Fifty pieces are there? One hundred pieces are there two hundred.

671
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: Nothing like that's the goal posts could be the thing

672
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: that you kind of take to the other to the

673
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: other stadium as well.

674
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 4: I mean, well, the new ones are up right, aren't

675
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 4: the new ones up over there?

676
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 6: They are?

677
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know they've got spares too.

678
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, I mean then that's all. These are the

679
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 7: discussions we've had, guys, Like, we've talked through some of

680
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 7: the scenarios ad nauseum. And uh, you know the cool

681
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 7: thing I keep going back to it is, you know

682
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 7: you always talk to your friends and family members. And

683
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 7: I was just walking down the hallway and one of

684
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 7: the coaches was making sure, hey, am I still included

685
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 7: in this opportunity?

686
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

687
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 7: You know, we're gonna roll this out to the right,

688
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 7: the coaches and the players after the season's over.

689
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 6: So you know, whether it's you know, my brother in

690
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 6: Nazareth Pa.

691
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 7: Looking for his seats or you know your family members stee.

692
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: You know we've said in those two seats for thirty

693
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: eight years, geez.

694
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 7: I mean, so there's an attachment there and it's worth

695
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 7: it to a lot of people to do this.

696
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: And just and just so fans that our season ticket holders,

697
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: you know, are not panicking. They'll the season ticket holders

698
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: will be given priority on their specific seats. Correct, Like,

699
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: it's not like they could get theirs bought out from

700
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: underneath them as a collector's item.

701
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 4: They'll get priority.

702
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 6: That is one hundred percent correct.

703
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, so they'll get the priority to get their specific seats.

704
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 7: The season ticket holders, the club Suite members, they get

705
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 7: a little bit of a discount ahead.

706
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 6: Of the Joe public rights.

707
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 7: I will still be an offer to the fan base

708
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 7: that don't have season tickets necessarily as well. So the

709
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 7: estimation and the conservative estimates are that you know, there

710
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 7: will be seats available for everybody. They don't generally sell

711
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 7: seventy thousand seats, but there's also a lot of well

712
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 7: Jesus is Bill's mafia, it could be a different result here.

713
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: Think about it. You've got businesses that buy blocks of

714
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: seats and they may want like in their put a

715
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: little section, you know what I mean, They want multiple seats.

716
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 2: Or there might be a business that has ten season

717
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: tickets but for memorabilia, say they mainly want two or four.

718
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 7: Come over, and the way they're going to structure it

719
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 7: is basically in pair. So they're trying to make it

720
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 7: easy for fans because, based on their experience with other

721
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 7: stadiums and venues, the vast majority is two seats or

722
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 7: maybe just a chair back from their bleacher scene, you know.

723
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 7: So it's all priced accordingly and it's all part of

724
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 7: the rollout.

725
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 4: All right.

726
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: So that stuff that is a cool program. We look

727
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: forward to seeing it take greater shape beyond the seats.

728
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 2: I guess you guys will inform us as we go,

729
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 2: and we'll be happy to have you back to spread

730
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: the word on that as well.

731
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm excited to see where this goes.

732
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 7: I mean, I think we're all excited to get a

733
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 7: piece of the history of Currnheimarch Stadium and.

734
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,080

752
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 2: know what stands out as the toughest moment of your career, retirement,

753
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: watching buddies leave injury, not getting the Lombardi, being a

754
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: rookie in a new locker room, playing through injuries. What

755
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 2: was the most difficult to manage? Hasker or Hasker Tasker

756
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: for Hall of Fame.

757
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: Good question, that's a good question.

758
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 4: Well, you had a lot of examples.

759
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: It's a big challenge, it's a big challenge playing in

760
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: the league.

761
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 4: Toughest to manage.

762
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: He asks the toughest thing to manage, And I was

763
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: thinking about this is kind of pertinent to what we've

764
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: seen with this Bill's roster this year, the toughest part

765
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: to manage was moving to a new team in the

766
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: middle of the season.

767
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 4: Oh after you got picked up of neighbors.

768
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: Here, because you know you move certainly the job is

769
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 1: your pro athlete, and it's just as tough to do it.

770
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: It's even tougher to do it on a new team

771
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: where you didn't have any training camp, no learning curve, nothing.

772
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: You just get plopped into the middle of a roster

773
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: that nobody where nobody knows you in the middle of

774
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: the season. And that's tough enough as a pro. As

775
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: a young kid too, I was in my second year

776
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: coming off an injury. You got all that stuff going on,

777
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: and then you you think about it. That doesn't even

778
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: get into the personal side of it. You know, I

779
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: was married at the time. I still am same girl too.

780
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean we're freshly married and now you got your

781
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: and she's in Houston, Texas with all our stuff. I'm

782
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: here and I don't know whether I'm playing one game

783
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: and getting cut or going to four straight Super Bowls

784
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: and playing for a decade. Right at the other end

785
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: of the specrun, I don't know what's going to I

786
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: don't even know. I didn't even know who the head

787
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: coach was when I got picked up. But yeah, you know,

788
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: you still got your family to take care of as well,

789
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff is there's just so much

790
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: to do, and then you've also got the added responsibility

791
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: and weight of your career on a with very little

792
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: knowledge of how to maximize it. I think that was

793
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: the toughest thing. Now I've said it a million times,

794
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: getting picked up by Buffalo mid season, walking into the

795
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: team meeting and there are five Hall of famers in

796
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: the room. Nobody knows. You know, it's Jim Bruce and

797
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: Andre Thurman. It was Jim Bruce, Andre Marv who was

798
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: just about on the cusp of beginning a career that

799
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: took him to the Hall of Fame, and Bill Pullion

800
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: in the back. So five of those guys are going

801
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame nobody knows about and I

802
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: and I get picked up by that crew. You know,

803
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: it was a winning lottery ticket. I'm still cashing it,

804
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: so I didn't know that at the time. That's tough.

805
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: And I and you see it happen all the time

806
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: now we've I mean, think about it now, it happens

807
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: all the time because we got a sixteen player practice squad,

808
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: and those guys are up and down and up and off.

809
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 1: You know the names we've heard throughout this off season,

810
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: this regular season, up, down, cut, released, signed, back to

811
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: the practice squad, released again, practice squad, active, roster, practice squad,

812
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: off the team. It's amazing. And that's it's a personal

813
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: life that just doesn't exist. It's really difficult, really difficult.

814
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: People don't get that human side of it. You gotta

815
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: have a place to live, you gotta have a reason

816
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: to live there. You know. That's hard. That's hard. That's

817
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 1: a hard thing.

818

826
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 2: Got a little time to squeeze in some phone calls

827
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 2: with some guys that have been waiting patiently, and we

828
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: go to let me see who we go hold on

829
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,480

830
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: you very much, we're gonna go to Mike in Syracuse.

831
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 4: What's up, Mike, Hi Chris.

832
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 8: I see you, Thanks so much for taking my call. Sure,

833
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 8: I just I just had a couple quick comments about

834
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 8: the game. Just what I what I think we do

835
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 8: kind of have an advantage in the game. I do

836
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 8: think it's I agree with you guys earlier. I think

837
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 8: we are going to be a splug best for running backs.

838
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 8: I think I obviously think we have a superior passer

839
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 8: and Josh. I just think that we're too big up

840
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 8: receiver wisen Or to give him a ton of options.

841
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 8: I really think that, uh, he does probably getting away

842
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 8: with a win on this maybe Obviously James Cook, who

843
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 8: has been finally still playing really really well, even though

844
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 8: you know, we had a tough loss in Houston and

845
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 8: stuff like that, I thought he still had a great game,

846
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 8: even though you know it was kind of a hard

847
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 8: game to watch. I also think that, uh, I believe

848
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 8: that you guys have said a couple of times in

849
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh gives up the yards after the catch. They're one

850
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 8: of the highest rated in the game. So I really

851
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 8: think that we we have, you know, their kryptonite with

852
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 8: that when it comes to Khalil Sekire because he's one

853
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 8: of the best in the game that still gets his

854
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 8: yard deaf in the catch. And also I think in

855
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 8: the receiving game, I think that Ty Johnson has also

856
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 8: emerged as a good yard after the catch guy because

857
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 8: he's he's physical and and he can break tackles. Yeah,

858
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 8: I guess my my big question for you guys, just

859
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 8: because my my football analogy and defense is not I

860
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 8: wouldn't say great when it comes to playing against probably

861
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 8: a future Hall of Famer pass rusher like t J.

862
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: Watt.

863
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 8: How does our offensive line prepare for a guy like that,

864
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 8: to know, so they don't draw too much attention to

865
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 8: just his pass rush and they would actually like neglect

866
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 8: the other guys that are on you know, their defensive line.

867
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 8: That's That's pretty much my question I have for you

868
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 8: how they prepare for something like that. I just wanted

869
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 8: to wish you guys to happy Thanksgiving to you and

870
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 8: your families will give a great holiday and I can

871
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 8: hand up and hang up.

872
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: And listen and thanks thanks for Chelle. I'll have Steve

873
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: handle the TJ.

874
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 4: Watts stuff. I'll address you know.

875
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 2: Yes, the Steelers defense gives up the third most yards

876
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: after the catch in the league. It's one hundred and

877
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: forty two yards a game.

878
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 4: They are giving up.

879
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 2: They've given up over fifteen hundred yards after the catch

880
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: in their first eleven games this season, and they are

881
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 2: a slow and old defense on the back end. I

882
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: was really hoping Kenkaid was going to be healthy for

883
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: this game because their linebackers are terrible in coverage and

884
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: I thought Kincaid could really eat with him out. I

885
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: want to see Shakir do some stuff in the middle

886
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 2: of the field had a productive game last week. I

887
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 2: also want to see them stick with the run game,

888
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: almost paintaking Lee Pains taking lye. So I felt they

889
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 2: got away from the run game too early last week

890
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 2: when the passing game clearly was struggling to string positive

891
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 2: plays together. I thought that was a time to lean

892
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 2: on cook more.

893
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 4: They didn't do that.

894
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 2: He only had seventeen carries, he still had over one

895
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 2: hundred yards rushing in the game. So I hope they

896
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: are committed to that and then mix in a short

897
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 2: passing game to complement it. And yes, I want to

898
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: see the running backs involved in the pass game too.

899
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned Ty Johnson. I'm all for that, and then Shakir.

900
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be opposed to moving Coleman inside. Put a

901
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 2: big target in. You don't have kid. Coleman has experience

902
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: in the slot from college where he was a productive player.

903
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: Put him inside. See what he can do for you there,

904
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 2: and use Cooks your newfound weapon. Use Palmer and use

905
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: Shavers outside. Use Coleman and Shakir inside. In the absence

906
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: of Kinkaid.

907
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 4: Address the TJ.

908
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: What they do is they watch a ton of film.

909
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: They watch every snap he's played this season and some

910
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: of the stuff he played last season. They may have

911
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: some comparisons with some offensive tackles that keep that are

912
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: like them, you know themselves as your offensive tackles. Will

913
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: watch everything just like defensive players watch, and they'll know

914
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: that when TJ's here, he likes this, and when he's

915
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: when his foot's here, when his arm position is here.

916
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: Before the snap, they'll get nuances of body position where

917
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: we obviously where he aligns, how wide, what he likes

918
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: to do from that alignment, what he likes to do

919
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: from this alignment, what he likes to do when I've

920
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: got a tight end on my hip or when I've

921
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: got a tight end up on the line of scrimmage.

922
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: They will get every variable possible and get as much

923
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: film as they can, and so they know that if

924
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: we line up in this formation and this personnel and

925
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: he lines up right there, he's gonna do this right.

926
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: So they will get an idea of what his tendencies are,

927
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: what he likes to do, and his body language pre snap,

928
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: as so as to give him a tip as to

929
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do after the snap. They watch these

930
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: guys like a hawk. There's some there have been over

931
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: the years, players, defensive players and offensive players would who

932
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 1: would stagger your mind with what they can glean off

933
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,479
Speaker 1: watching film about what a guy's gonna do next. They're

934
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: really good at it, guys, and you know, obviously they're

935
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: great players because of it. And that's one of the

936
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: things about it. They pick up nuances and what a

937
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: guy does pre snap and post snap. So it's to

938
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: help them get ready to play. And that's what they do.

939
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: They watch film after film after film.

940
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 2: And you can't and yes, you're right, Mike, that you

941
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: can't put so much attention on what that you neglect

942
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: the other weapons that they have. As we've mentioned, Nick

943
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: Krbig and Alex Highsmith, who's back from injury this week,

944
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 2: are very capable pass rushers themselves. The priority one is

945
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: not letting TJ. Watt wreck the game because he has

946
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: the capability.

947
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: Players who do that. Players put as much priority on TJ.

948
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: Watt as the coaches tell him to. Yeah, they they'll say,

949
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: if he's over here, do this, if he's over there,

950
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: do that. But every snap, whoever has the assignment is

951
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: going to give one hundred percent. That's That's what it

952
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: boils down to. The coaches set the priority of how

953
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: important it is to block TJ. Watt by chipping, by saying, hey,

954
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: we got a chip call and we're sliding the protection

955
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: towards him and you're getting help from the guard. All

956
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: that stuff goes into the mix. So the coaches set

957
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: how important it is to find t J. Watt and

958
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: take care of him, and the players executed.

959
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, But when we return, our

960
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 2: number two begins with the Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas

961
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 2: gonna join us in studio here.

962
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 4: We catch up with him next.

963
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 2: On One Bill's Live presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo

964
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 2: Bill's Radio. This One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

965
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 2: All Right, second hour the show here on this Thanksgiving Eve,

966
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and the Hall of Famer Turma

967
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 2: Thomas joining us as we kind of broke the news

968
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 2: to them about the latest injuries that have hit the Bills.

969
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 2: Dald kin Kaid not practicing today as well as Terrell

970
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: Bernard and both offensive tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown

971
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 2: kind of putting their status somewhat in doubt for this

972
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 2: weekend's game against the Steelers on the road.

973
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 4: We already know what.

974
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 2: That could potentially mean Thurman for pass protection, we were

975
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 2: assuming Ryan Vandermark would be one of the starting tackles

976
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 2: if those two cannot play. The other ones a little

977
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 2: bit up in the air. Could be Tyler Grabil if

978
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 2: he comes off ir could be that rookie Chase Lunch

979
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 2: who's been a healthy and active could be Alec Anderson

980
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 2: who has some tackle experience. We don't know, but talk

981
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 2: to me them about how the run game could be

982
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 2: impacted if you don't have Dion and you don't have Spencer,

983
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 2: knowing how integral they have been in some of the

984
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 2: run games schemes.

985
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 9: Let's hope who who's ever replacing those guys doing hell

986
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 9: of a job. I mean, that's pretty much whoever's gonna be. Yeah,

987
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 9: next guy up, and uh, you know what, don't make

988
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 9: it difficult for him, you know, make it to where

989
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 9: they understand what they're going against. I mean, playing left tackle,

990
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 9: all right, tackle, you sit up and you got T. J.

991
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 9: Wats in front of you. Okay, hey, I'm gonna need

992
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 9: some help over here. Okay, right, yea, yeah, you're gonna

993
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 9: need some help over there. So okay, tight ends and

994
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 9: running backs, get rid of the chip or do whatever.

995
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 9: But before you go on your route, and if you're

996
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 9: in the backfield anyway, you're probably the third or fourth

997
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 9: guy in the route assignment.

998
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 3: So just take a little extra second just to check

999
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 3: things out before you check down or whatever I said.

1000
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 9: It's gonna be, you know. I mean, we've never really

1001
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 9: had a lot of success in Pittsburgh.

1002
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 3: It's one of those history. It's a hard place to play.

1003
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 9: I mean, even the nineties, we would go down and

1004
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 9: we get get lit up. I mean Kevin Green and

1005
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 9: Greg lad Let's I mean, it's it's a historical place.

1006
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 9: And when you these players who haven't been in it before,

1007
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 9: they walk in they're like, oh.

1008
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,240
Speaker 3: This is the Pittsburgh's dealers. Yeah, it's different.

1009
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of that. I said on the

1010
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: last segment that it's really the coaching staff who sets

1011
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: the priority of the past protection. Like like, if they

1012
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: want to take care of TJ. Watt, they're gonna tell

1013
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: Ja or whatever. When he's here, set the protection here,

1014
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: do this and do that. If he's over there, do that.

1015
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: They it's up to the coaches to find him and

1016
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: do it. Now, if you get caught and somebody makes

1017
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: mistake and you got some tackle on an island with TJ,

1018
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: that's not the player's fault. That's the scheme, you know,

1019
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: or or it's maybe Josh setting the protection wrong or

1020
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: where they miss whatever exactly. But the coaches have are

1021
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: gonna have rules about where high Smith is, where TJ is,

1022
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: uh Hayward, and it's up to them to tell them

1023
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: pregame and then they will run up and they'll practice

1024
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: and say, hey, this is our plan. When this guy's here,

1025
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna go him first, then high Smith then you

1026
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: know all those other things. But it's up to the

1027
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: players to do it right. I mean they if they

1028
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: if they slide guys to them. If they got a

1029
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: double team on, they got to get it done, even

1030
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: though and.

1031
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 9: And and that's why I say, don't make it complicated.

1032
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 9: Don't make it complicated for these guys. I mean, even

1033
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 9: if you want to go if you got TJ and

1034
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 9: the tackle over here in and tackle over here, and

1035
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 9: you got middle linebacker, I mean, he's the thing for

1036
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 9: that is called five down. Whoever the linebacker is in

1037
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 9: the middle, right, just make it as five down. You

1038
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 9: got that guy, you got that guy, and everybody got

1039
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 9: five And if the center's guy doesn't come, he can

1040
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 9: veer off to the left the right to check. He

1041
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 9: can sprint to the edge. Yeah exactly, So you go

1042
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 9: to the right and the back go to the left.

1043
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 9: So that kind of got has it covered. But if

1044
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 9: that guy's come, that's your man center, that's your guy

1045
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,439
Speaker 9: that you have to sow. I mean, I just think

1046
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 9: that you don't have to make it complicated for these guys.

1047
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 9: And I think that can really be sat down and

1048
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 9: talked through. Josh and how it's Cadens is going to

1049
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 9: be and all of this stuff, you know, So, I mean,

1050
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,760
Speaker 9: you know, it might be could be like a little

1051
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 9: up tempo just so Pittsburgh can't get set.

1052
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: I've I've been a pound on the table fast. Yeah,

1053
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: because you got TJ and you got high Smith and

1054
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: those guys. You get three plays under your belt and

1055
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: are gonna snap the fourth one. The pass rush evaporates

1056
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: because they they're too tired, because they they run the

1057
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 1: play hard. And then if you're going fast, they got

1058
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: to run to get lined up. They're concentrating trying to

1059
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: get a defensive call, and they're trying to get fined.

1060
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: And then you know, three plays of that and they're

1061
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: they're a little bit gassed and little helter skelter over there.

1062
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: And they then also when you and I remember from

1063
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,919
Speaker 1: from back in the day, when you go fast, their

1064
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: defense all of a sudden becomes simpler and simpler and

1065
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: simpler and simpler. They do less disguising, they do less,

1066
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: less stunting, They do less and less and less and

1067
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 1: less because they don't have time or the energy to

1068
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: get the call in or the ability to get the

1069
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: call in.

1070
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 9: But I also think it falls down too on the

1071
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 9: offensive side. You got to get a first man, you

1072
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 9: have to get a first out. You have to get

1073
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 9: at least one and put yourself in a position to

1074
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 9: maybe get two first downs in a row. But it

1075
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 9: puts them in a position to where.

1076
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 3: Oh, could a guy really be right?

1077
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 9: Could he really understand what's going on when he's out there?

1078
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 3: It's kind of hard to say.

1079
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 9: When when you kind of speed it up, make sure

1080
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 9: because last week or a couple of days ago, Houston said,

1081
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 9: whatever they ran on film, what the exact same thing

1082
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 9: that they did?

1083
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 3: You have to mix it up now. You have to

1084
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 3: mix it up now because you're gonna being right.

1085
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 9: Into Pittsburgh hands if you do to keep doing the

1086
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 9: same thing and lining guys up.

1087
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,919
Speaker 2: But here's here's the conundrum, Therm. You had three extra

1088
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 2: days for your coaching staff to get in the lab

1089
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 2: and come up with some different stuff, right, but now

1090
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 2: you face the prospect of not having your top two

1091
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 2: offensive tackles. So do you have to reduce the volume

1092
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 2: again and keep it simpler. I'm just wondering, can you

1093
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 2: come up with Can you diversify your passing game and

1094
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 2: still keep it simple for your alignment?

1095
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 4: Is that feasible?

1096
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 9: I think you can, okay, And the best way to

1097
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 9: do that probably run the ball forty times. Yeah, if

1098
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 9: you want, If you want to keep it as simple

1099
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 9: and we get one of those games where yeah, you know,

1100
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 9: it's two hundred and fifty yards, we're gashing an every

1101
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 9: single play.

1102
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 2: Then oh yeah, I mean on an average run defense,

1103
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 2: they're in the middle of the they're in the middle.

1104
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 3: Of the pack. Yeah. Yeah.

1105
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 9: But they do a great job of in a technique

1106
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 9: of stripping the football or whatever the past couple of years,

1107
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 9: and I.

1108
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 4: Think I made that no digit.

1109
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, they've They've always been that type of football team

1110
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 9: or you know, you're trying to get that extra yard

1111
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden the balls come back.

1112
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 10: I mean T J.

1113
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 3: Watt is great at it. Yeah, I mean he's probably

1114
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 3: the one.

1115
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 2: There so so far this season already term they're second

1116
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 2: in total takeaways with twenty in eleven games, and since

1117
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two they have fifty eight forced fumbles, that

1118
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 2: leads the NFL. So you're one hundred percent right under

1119
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 2: Taroll Austin their DC. It is a philosophical priority. Punch

1120
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 2: it out, rip it out, tear it out, bite it

1121
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 2: out of the guy's hands if you have to. They

1122
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 2: don't care like they would. They will do anything to

1123
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 2: get the ball out because I think they know their offense,

1124
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 2: even with Rogers, is limited from a point production perspective,

1125
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 2: so their their mo is get as many extra possessions

1126
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: for the offense as you can. Let's try to get

1127
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 2: to twenty four points, and our defense usually is good

1128
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 2: enough to win the football game.

1129
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 4: If we do that.

1130
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's it's gonna be a good game.

1131
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 3: I think.

1132
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 4: I think if these two tackles are out, we're looking

1133
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 4: at a rock fight.

1134
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: We're looking at rock I mean, you're talking twelve tone.

1135
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 3: Well I was thinking maybe.

1136
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 4: I hope it's not that way. Like I'll give you

1137
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 4: guys another number.

1138
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 2: So the Bills this year, when they score twenty five

1139
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 2: points or more seven and oh, when they score less

1140
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 2: than twenty five points, they're owing four and four. So

1141
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 2: the magic number is twenty five and they have not

1142
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 2: gotten there the last two times on the road.

1143
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 3: And I don't think Pittsburgh can even get to twenty.

1144
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,919
Speaker 9: It's yeah, I just think with their offense, and I mean, yeah,

1145
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 9: DK you can probably take him out with man and

1146
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 9: man coverage, although he will have a height advantage over

1147
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 9: our guys, but I mean he just run nine routes.

1148
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 4: And got to see if Harrison can get back this week.

1149
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 2: He's limited in practice today, still in the protocol, so

1150
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 2: hopefully he can clear protocol and get back in the last.

1151
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: Could run with him, for sure.

1152
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 9: But I think like as a former player, and now

1153
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 9: I can actually talk about this. Now I don't have

1154
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 9: to say anything like what is the magic number? I've

1155
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 9: been thinking about what is the magic number?

1156
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: Here?

1157
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 9: These last six games in terms of win wins and losses,

1158
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 9: these are six games.

1159
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean, oh yeah, yeah, I mean.

1160
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 9: We've got to get a seventh spot now, I think

1161
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 9: it is going to take either four or five wins.

1162
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 4: To get You got to get to at least eleven

1163
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 4: eleven less. Yeah, that's the minimum.

1164
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: Eleven will get you in eleven.

1165
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 3: Usual e this the floor?

1166
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, because of and it's also because of

1167
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: the the divisions, you're gonna have a division winner in

1168
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: the North. I mean right now Baltimore's leading. They've got

1169
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: five losses already, so you're gonna have a less than

1170
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: eleven win team winning a division.

1171
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 2: Mate, you got to win four your last six men

1172
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 2: in New England schedule, three of them are on the road.

1173
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 3: In New England schedule, I mean they play a bunch

1174
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 3: of coaches easy. It's real easy.

1175
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 4: They're gonna don't even think about the division, the division.

1176
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 3: In the years.

1177
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, wait a minute, you guys may be saying this

1178
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 9: loss and it and it probably could be. But you

1179
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 9: know what, you're starting to hear that, okay, where you're

1180
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 9: one game away from clinching the division, the New England Patriots.

1181
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, things become a.

1182
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 4: Little bit like, yeah, I hear that, I hear on you.

1183
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 9: But I've always liked Mike Rabell as a head coach.

1184
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 9: I don't think he will allow explicit to do that,

1185
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 9: but it might creep in later on.

1186
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 3: I mean it could.

1187
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 2: They gotta fall flat on their face though for several

1188
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 2: weeks for that to happen.

1189
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this, Since twenty nineteen, if you win

1190
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,479
Speaker 1: ten games, only one team has won ten games and

1191
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: not gotten in. That was the Miami Dolphins in twenty twenty.

1192
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,479
Speaker 1: If you win ten games, history tells you you're gonna

1193
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: be good enough to get in, even in a year

1194
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: like that, because there coming down.

1195
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 4: This stretch, well, it's a tightly packed field.

1196
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Coming down the stretch. There's gonna be some teams who go.

1197
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 4: Belly up.

1198
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Two and four on these last six games.

1199
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 9: And we should be used to it because I mean,

1200
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 9: ever since we had this playoff run, we've we've always

1201
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 9: played three games anyway, So.

1202
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: Ten games, ten games usually, well always in the past,

1203
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: ten games always gets you in ten wins, and certainly

1204
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: since they went to a seventeen game schedule.

1205
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 3: That's the case.

1206
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: So I just think that, you know, so that means

1207
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: you go three and three, but it might have to

1208
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: be the right three and three.

1209
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, right, but hey, just get on a winns freak

1210
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 9: of three win streak.

1211
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I think we talked.

1212
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 9: About in the past win loss, win loss, that's the

1213
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 9: last four weeks.

1214
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 3: That's the last four week. That doesn't get you.

1215
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 9: That doesn't get you anywhere international Football league. You got

1216
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 9: to be consistent from the top end. Hey, look, I

1217
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 9: mean they started four and on. We were all like

1218
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden after that and four, you're

1219
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 9: three and four and so now, yeah, I mean these

1220
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 9: but this game is important, man, for them, just to

1221
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 9: just to keep pace ahead of the rest of the

1222
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 9: people there behind you. So I mean, right, think about it.

1223
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 9: We could be looking at a possibility of Buffalo or

1224
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 9: Kansas City not making the playoffs go down here, that's right,

1225
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 9: real fast.

1226
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 2: So let me give you an idea on the magnitude

1227
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 2: of this game for both teams.

1228
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 4: This is according to next Gen.

1229
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 2: Stats, Bills have an eighty seven percent chance to make

1230
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs as it stands right now.

1231
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: If they win, or right now, right now.

1232
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 2: At seven and four, I shouldn't drop that for if

1233
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: they win, their odds go from eighty seven to ninety

1234
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 2: five percent with a victory on Sunday, If they lose

1235
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 2: the game, it drops to seventy six percent. The Steelers

1236
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 2: right now, right now have only a thirty eight percent

1237
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 2: chance to make the playoffs.

1238
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 11: Wow.

1239
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 2: If they win, those odds increase to fifty three percent.

1240
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 2: With a loss, it drops to twenty eight percent. They

1241
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 2: have the lowest playoff odds of the ten AFC teams

1242
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 2: with six wins or more because of their tiebreakers and

1243
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 2: who they've lost to and all of that jazz. Because

1244
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 2: as we know, they fell out of the top spot

1245
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 2: in the AFC North last week via tiebreaker.

1246
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: They're even well what about they're even ahead of Kansas

1247
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: City or behind Kansas City in.

1248
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 4: The they have the lowest playoff odds. Yes, oh okay, yeah,

1249
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 4: So Yeah.

1250
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 2: It's this is a big game for both teams, but

1251
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 2: if you had to argue and split hairs, it's probably

1252
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 2: a bigger game for Pittsburgh. They are going to be

1253
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 2: supremely desperate to win this game.

1254
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1255
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 9: And the thing that I look at, I'm looking at

1256
01:03:56,080 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 9: like these teams that are ahead of us, like New England, Denver, Indy, Indy.

1257
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 3: I mean teams that were bad for a number of years.

1258
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 9: We were while we were pretty much handling everybody, and

1259
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 9: now it's kind of flipped a little bit. I mean,

1260
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 9: we still got a good football team. I mean, you're

1261
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 9: still gonna have to go out and play no matter what. Okay,

1262
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 9: so this guy like you say, next man up. Hey,

1263
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 9: I hope they go out there and do an excellent job.

1264
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 9: Cook rushes for one hundred and seventy five, Josh is

1265
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 9: around three.

1266
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 3: Hundred or whatever. I think if they reached those numbers,

1267
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 3: we went well.

1268
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because they're probably scoring more than twenty five points.

1269
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,439
Speaker 2: Special teams ray ray, Yeah, I mean it's nice to see.

1270
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1271
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it's usually those kinds of plays that put you

1272
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 2: over the top.

1273
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 4: Again, and instead they needed that just to stay close.

1274
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 3: Stay close.

1275
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, So hey, go for it man.

1276
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 2: People were dismayed about the lack of protection for Josh.

1277
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: Last week we heard coach McDermott say after the game,

1278
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 2: we can't have our quarterback hitting hit like that. So

1279
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 2: now everybody believes that going forward they're gonna have Max

1280
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 2: protect left, right and center, and people are doubling down

1281
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 2: on that with the news that we may not have

1282
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 2: our starting tackles either. But you can't do that the

1283
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 2: whole game, Like, that's not feasible.

1284
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 3: No, it's not. Yah. I mean, we've never seen John

1285
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 3: get hit like that before.

1286
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 4: It's the most sacks he's ever had in a game ever.

1287
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 9: But I'm talking about going back to his rookie year.

1288
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 9: I mean, I can't remember hits like this.

1289
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty eighteen. Twenty eighteen was a bad year. The

1290
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 2: Bills didn't really have an offensive line. Eric Wood retires

1291
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 2: because of a neck injury, Richie Incognito goes you know elsewhere,

1292
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 2: and they were left without a competent offensive line.

1293
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 4: And what happened.

1294
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 2: Josh got hurt in Houston, of all places, elbow injury,

1295
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 2: misses three or four games, and the season goes up

1296
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 2: and smoke because you've got Derek Anderson playing for You're

1297
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 2: coming off the couch in Indianapolis throws three interceptions. I mean,

1298
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 2: the season went up and smoked right there, and ever

1299
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 2: since then, they've invested heavily in their offensive line. But

1300
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 2: now you're you're kind of stripped precariously thin on the

1301
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 2: edges here with the injuries, and that can change the

1302
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 2: conversation quickly.

1303
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 9: Look, I understand all that who was just one game

1304
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 9: we have seen yet like that he might not even

1305
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 9: get touched in Pittsburgh because these guys can come out

1306
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 9: and do I mean, that's what we're hoping for.

1307
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is fifth in the league in sacks, They've got

1308
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 2: thirty four and eleven.

1309
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 3: Games, but I don't think they bringing it like these guys.

1310
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 4: Well this is that was the best team.

1311
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 9: So so now I say, you give yourself a little hope, like, Okay,

1312
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 9: it's not going to be as bad as it was

1313
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 9: last week, right, right, and especially.

1314
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 3: If we do something when our part scheme.

1315
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a little bit of like you know,

1316
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: locking the doors after you've been robbed. But that's what

1317
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: this offensive line and this coaching staff will do. They're like, listen,

1318
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: we ain letting this happen again, right, we got to

1319
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: do something. Now. They may be hamstrung by there by

1320
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: the personnel Dawkins and Spencer Brown. If those guys don't play,

1321
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be all hands on deck and they're gonna

1322
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I think they may alter their game plan vastly if

1323
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: that's the case. If Spencer and Dion can't play, I

1324
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: think they're gonna say, listen, we're gonna do something very

1325
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: different than we did than we were planning on. That's

1326
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: what would do it for me. I mean, if as

1327
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: a coaching said, you got to say, okay, now we

1328
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 1: get you real value because we're not gonna be able

1329
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: to do this and this and this and this. We

1330
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: got to do this, and we're gonna do it.

1331
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 9: Well, well, I'll tell you what it gets your coaches

1332
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 9: in imagination of how can I protect I got I

1333
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 9: have to do something different.

1334
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we're either gonna have to roll them out,

1335
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: move the pocket.

1336
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 3: Can't we can't allow what happened last week to happen again.

1337
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 3: That's right, two weeks in a row. So I think

1338
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 3: those coaches know and I think the players know too.

1339
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:57,959
Speaker 9: I mean, even the guys that are gonna be missing

1340
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 9: I'm sure they're gonna be helping the guys that go

1341
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 9: to be replacing him or whatever you got. I mean,

1342
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 9: you got some veteran guys out there that that know it,

1343
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 9: that know how to come through through a situation like this.

1344
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 2: We've gotten this far without talking to you about the

1345
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 2: newest edition. Brandon Cooks, who gets signed late yesterday, twelve

1346
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 2: year vet five three, still has some juice in terms

1347
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 2: of stretching the field. How do you anticipate him being

1348
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 2: utilized in this passing game?

1349
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 9: Well, hey, look, the best way to use him right now,

1350
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 9: just send him on a couple of nine routes right now,

1351
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 9: stretching maybe just to stretch him out.

1352
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 3: Just they got to cover just they have to cover him.

1353
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 3: And last that, I I mean, who's Jalen Ramsey is

1354
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 3: a safe plan? Safety?

1355
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: Now, I've got some guys that are long in the

1356
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: tooth back there.

1357
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 9: Right so I think he's still fast enough to where

1358
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 9: you know he.

1359
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 2: Well, this is a this is a slow and old defense.

1360
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 2: Outside of Joey Porter Junior. They got some geriatrix back there.

1361
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 3: And let me tell you something. I was talking to

1362
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 3: Jay out there.

1363
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 9: I was saying, like, you know what he may come

1364
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 9: here and light it up, because throughout his career.

1365
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 2: I mean, well, he's used to jumping in with new

1366
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,600
Speaker 2: teams mid season. He's done it before, but has he

1367
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 2: ever quit a quarterback like this? Well, he played with that,

1368
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 2: played with that, and he played with U. He played

1369
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 2: with Breeze, didn't he in New Orleans?

1370
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1371
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 3: So he's so I mean so it like get a

1372
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 3: little energized for him.

1373
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 9: You know, he got he got a quarterback that can

1374
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 9: get him the ball in any type of situation. So

1375
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 9: we need him. So put him out there. I'm sure

1376
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 9: he won't have the full.

1377
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 4: Package.

1378
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 9: Give me some slants, maybe give me, you know, some

1379
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 9: fifteen yarn.

1380
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 3: Ends, or give me a couple of nine routes, and

1381
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 3: just to kind of.

1382
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 9: Like put fear into because he's out there and if

1383
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 9: he's doing that, you might come behind and do shakir

1384
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 9: like that. And everybody was like, well what right, So hey,

1385
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 9: I'm all forward man. I helped this passing game, right.

1386
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,799
Speaker 2: Kincaid not practicing today, not looking great for the weekend.

1387
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:04,759
Speaker 4: We'll see where it goes.

1388
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 2: We've talked about maybe putting Coleman in the slot, putting

1389
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 2: a big guy in there, just to try to see

1390
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 2: if you can unlock him that way and make him

1391
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 2: a bigger factor in your offense. He did that at

1392
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 2: Florida State, played in the slot. Some you had three

1393
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 2: extra days to get in the lab. I mean, I'm

1394
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 2: wondering if that's something they're thinking about, especially if Kincaid's

1395
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 2: not playing, he's not going to be there.

1396
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 3: Kill we need you.

1397
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 4: I expect him to be back in the line, yes.

1398
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 9: And I expected him to go out and play well,

1399
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 9: like be physical and run great routes and if Cook

1400
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 9: is running the ball, be a block or down field.

1401
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 9: Let them know that you're there man, and haven't played

1402
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 9: the last two games, so you know I'm up here.

1403
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 3: He should be mentally ready.

1404
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 9: Fresh legs, fresh legs to go and make a and

1405
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 9: try and have an impact on the game.

1406
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Furm, thanks for the time. Yeah, I have a

1407

1421
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 2: been an interesting journey for you, and I should tell

1422
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 2: everybody first and foremost player interview appearances on One Bill's Live,

1423
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 2: presented by Tim Horton's Tim Horson Tim Horton's the official

1424
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 2: coffee of the Buffalo Bills.

1425
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 4: But an interesting.

1426
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 2: Progress that you've made through the course of your rookie season.

1427
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,600
Speaker 2: I know that dang shoulder injury in the Chicago preseason

1428
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 2: game kind of set you back a little bit because

1429
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 2: you were just coming on there. I still remember that play.

1430
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 2: You're in center field, you come twenty yards up the

1431
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 2: field and you decked that guy out of bounds on

1432
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 2: a running play, and I'm just like, ooh.

1433
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 4: Can we see more of that?

1434
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 2: And then I think it's like ten plays later, you

1435
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 2: jacked up your shoulder tackling I want to say, a

1436
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 2: tight end or something over the middle there. And then

1437
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 2: it kind of curtailed your progress because you didn't play

1438
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 2: the rest of the preseason. I was like, son of

1439
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 2: a gun, how did you deal with that? Because you

1440
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 2: had to really feel like you were coming on making

1441
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 2: progress and as we hear coach say all the time,

1442
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 2: that's how you earn more time on.

1443
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,799
Speaker 4: The field by the plays you make on the field.

1444
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 4: How did you wrestle with that?

1445
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 2: Because you had to feel like it was just starting

1446
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 2: to come together for you, and then the shoulder thing.

1447
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I always look at it with a

1448
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 11: good perspective. I feel like if I looked at it

1449
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 11: and had a bad perspective, it would have been bad

1450
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 11: for me. But I looked at it as time for

1451
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 11: me to get into playbook, time for soak up everything

1452
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 11: from the vets. So I feel like it was a

1453
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 11: blessing in disguise, got me ready.

1454
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 1: Sure enough. You've been easing up your snap counts, starting

1455
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: to grow each and every week. You're getting more and

1456
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:10,799
Speaker 1: more situations where you're you're on the field taking snaps.

1457
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 1: How's that going for you? And how's that progress feel?

1458
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 10: That's going well.

1459
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 11: I feel like I got great vests, Jordan Employer, Damorrow Handling.

1460
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 11: They help me out a lot to really see the

1461
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:23,759
Speaker 11: game in a coach's eyes and not react to plays

1462
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 11: but anticipate plays. So I'm thankful for them and they

1463
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 11: help my progress.

1464
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't know everything because you're a rookie

1465
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 2: if you have, but you play a handful of games

1466
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 2: in this league right in the regular season. But there

1467
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 2: has to be a level of confidence that you play

1468
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 2: with too, And I know Ohio State kids are never

1469
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 2: short on confidence, So how do you balance that, like

1470
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 2: still be respectful of the fact that I'm playing a

1471
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 2: forty one year old Aaron Rodgers that I was playing

1472
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 2: with in Madden ten years ago when the guy was

1473
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 2: tearing it up. He's got four MVPs. He knows everything,

1474
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 2: so he might get one over on me if I'm

1475
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 2: not minding my p's and q's. So how do you

1476
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,799
Speaker 2: balance playing with confidence but also being respectful of guys

1477
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 2: that have seen a lot more and done a lot

1478
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 2: more than you in this league.

1479
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 11: I feel like playing those legends, you got to have

1480
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 11: go out there and play with respect for them. But

1481
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 11: if you go out there and play attentive and not

1482
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 11: with confidence, they'll get you. But if you go out there,

1483
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,799
Speaker 11: play confident, play fast, that's where you can get plays

1484
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 11: on them right there. Because you know you're young. Sometimes

1485
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 11: you don't know what to do. All you know is

1486
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 11: go run and hit and play fast. So sometimes I

1487
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 11: could work out for you.

1488
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: We've seen this defense like this last week. He came

1489
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: out and Houston hung twenty points on it. Then at

1490
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 1: halftime something happens. You guys have some conversations. You shut

1491
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: the water off, right. What happens in those conversations, and

1492
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: what kind of attitude change happens at halftime or when

1493
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: they do make those adjustments. What's it feel like? And

1494
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: how do you know that it works? And when you

1495
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 1: get an idea of like I get it, and why

1496
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: is it so difficult to do it? Like during the

1497
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: game before halftime?

1498
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,640
Speaker 11: Right, So you know, play callers have a script, so

1499
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 11: sometimes it's out of plays you haven't repped all week,

1500
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 11: and then in the second half those coordinators go back

1501
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 11: to those plays. So we at halftime we look over

1502
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 11: the plays, what they just hit us on and how

1503
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 11: we need to go about things. And I feel like

1504
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 11: that's what helped us in the second half, and I

1505
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 11: feel like in the second half of games, we're on

1506
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 11: our p's and q's and go out there and play

1507
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 11: fast and just anticipate in plays.

1508
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,720
Speaker 2: Looking at how the secondary has taken shape, it's been

1509
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 2: a process because there have been injuries, guys have been

1510
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 2: in and out, and the key to really good secondary

1511
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 2: play is not only mastering your own assignments, but being

1512
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 2: able to play off one another back there, communication, all

1513
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 2: that stuff. It's always easier on the road for the

1514
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 2: defense because it's quieter. But how have you kind of

1515
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 2: assimilated yourself to the rest of the group. I mean,

1516
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:52,719
Speaker 2: obviously priority one is having your stuff straight, alignment, assignment,

1517
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 2: all that, but how have you assimilated yourself to be

1518
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 2: an easy guy to play off of back there for

1519
01:15:58,360 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 2: your teammates.

1520
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 11: Well, it's so easy because I know in the back

1521
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 11: seven we all have meetings after meetings, so we're all

1522
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 11: on one page and we're not just communicating and be like,

1523
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 11: oh do you have this, do you have that? It's

1524
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 11: just you know what they're going to do out there.

1525
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 11: So I feel like the meetings and the extra time

1526
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 11: we put it in together as a real brother here

1527
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 11: so we go out there and play fast.

1528
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: What have the coaches told you about what they'd like

1529
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: to see more of from you?

1530
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 11: Just breaking on the ball, feel like just making more

1531
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 11: plays on the football, making more of an impact and

1532
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 11: not just doing my job and just go out there

1533
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 11: and make plays.

1534
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 2: So is that about like trusting what you see, Like,

1535
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 2: don't just think you're seeing it, trust it.

1536
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 4: And just go.

1537
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 10: Yeah, just go, just go make the play.

1538
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 11: I do a lot of studying through throughout the week,

1539
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 11: so I was going out there and trusted what I

1540
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 11: see because I put it in the work, and the

1541
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 11: coaches they pour a lot of into me to make

1542
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 11: these plays.

1543
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 10: So, yeah, go out to play fast.

1544
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen because right now you and Jordan

1545
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 2: Poyer are kind of splitting time there. Sometimes it's based

1546
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 2: on situation. I know you're getting more time in the

1547
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 2: two minute drills because you know no offense to Poyer,

1548
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 2: But he's thirty four and you're twenty three, and you

1549
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 2: cover a little bit more ground than he does at

1550
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 2: this point in time. So I understand why you're out

1551
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 2: there for two minutes.

1552
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 4: Real they need your range. But how do you.

1553
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:17,520
Speaker 2: Communicate with him in the times where you're on the sideline,

1554
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 2: he's in, and then he's coming off, Like what are

1555
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 2: those conversations like, because I gotta imagine you're picking his brain, like, hey,

1556
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 2: what are they.

1557
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 4: Hitting us on? Because I'm seeing this?

1558
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 2: Are you just checking with him to confirm what you're

1559
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 2: seeing from the sideline?

1560
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 4: So when you go in, you're ready.

1561
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 11: I feel like it's more before the game, just watching okay,

1562
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 11: watching film with him, you know, he pulls me to side.

1563
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 11: He Jordan watched his plays, watch these couple cutups, and

1564
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 11: I feel like beforehand we kind of just have a

1565
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 11: jump on things and if they run it during the game,

1566
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 11: we'll see that and be like, dang, that's the play

1567
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 11: we just talked about. So I feel like he's a

1568
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 11: super professional that's really helping me try to prolong my career.

1569
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:57,679
Speaker 1: How's this week going for the holiday schedule? Like Thanksgiving tomorrow?

1570
01:17:57,720 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 1: Is it kind of a disruption? But you also got

1571
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: a little extra many bye week this last week playing

1572
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,120

Speaker 2: of years older than you, but he's a Peachtree guy.

1598
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 2: Did you guys ever cross paths coming up at all

1599
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 2: through the football ranks?

1600
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 10: No, not at all.

1601
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 11: I played in Gonnette and p Strees about like central Georgia. Okay,

1602
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 11: so we didn't really play any play against each other.

1603
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 4: Okay, I was just curious if you guys cross pants.

1604
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 2: Both being Georgia kids, neither of you stayed in the

1605
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 2: state to play college ball, but you know, I didn't

1606
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 2: know maybe through the scholastic years or playing on all

1607
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 2: star teams, if you guys had ever crossed pants, that'd

1608
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 2: be interesting. It's time now for this week's tim Bits

1609
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 2: Time Out, presented by, of course, Tim Horton's where we

1610
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 2: have the fans ask the Bills players a unique question,

1611
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 2: and this one comes from Cole and he's taking you

1612
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 2: back to your college ranks. He knows, he says, Ohio

1613
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:40,839
Speaker 2: State versus Michigan this weekend.

1614
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 10: How you feeling I'm feeling good.

1615
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 11: I know how much work those boys put in over there,

1616
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 11: so oh man, you know they talk about it all year,

1617
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 11: so they're gonna go out there play fast. I feel like,

1618
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 11: play confidence, so I feel like the Buckeye is gonna

1619
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 11: be on top of this day.

1620
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: Dude, do you have any wol Marines on our squad?

1621
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't think we do.

1622
01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 11: Uh nah, I don't think we do. You'd hear on

1623
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 11: the equipment manager's Cory. He always gives me stuff about him.

1624
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 2: But is it weird, like when you're I mean, obviously

1625
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,520
Speaker 2: you're always going to be a part of that program,

1626
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 2: but this is the first time you're not in it,

1627
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 2: like day after day just grinding with your guys. Is

1628
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 2: it weird being on this side of it and looking

1629
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 2: at it now?

1630
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, it is weird.

1631
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 11: I feel like when I was in high school, I

1632
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,600
Speaker 11: always watch college football, every team, no matter any team,

1633
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 11: But now I only watch Ohio State, Like I feel

1634
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,759
Speaker 11: like they're just the most ready team and the most

1635
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 11: almost professional team.

1636
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 10: I feel like, so I only watch them.

1637
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I just got to imagine after grinding for

1638
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 2: four years, three years, whatever it is, and you're in

1639
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 2: it every single day with your guys, and then you know,

1640
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 2: now you're in the pro ranks and you're building your career.

1641
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 4: But you're still a part of it.

1642
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 2: But it's it's different, like you're a little detached because

1643
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 2: you're not there every day.

1644
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:56,560
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1645
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 4: Is that strange? Or have you come to grips with it?

1646
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 4: You just accept it for what it is.

1647
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 10: I really just accepted it.

1648
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 11: You know, Vets they always come back go to school,

1649
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 11: but I always talk to my friends back Ohio State

1650
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 11: and they always talk good things about the program, so

1651
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 11: I know they're going to do their job out there,

1652
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 11: so I ain't really gotta worry about too much because

1653
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 11: I know they'll handle their business.

1654
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 10: All right.

1655
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,640

Speaker 13: back to my college and had a really cool special

1680
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 13: moment in my life and got to see a lot

1681
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:23,720
Speaker 13: of old old friends and some family and yeah, kind

1682
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 13: of a quick little reset, and you know, we understand

1683
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 13: where we're at, and we had a big opportunity, you know,

1684
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 13: a really tough opponent this week, and we're just trying

1685
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 13: to put our best foot forward to have a really

1686
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:34,799
Speaker 13: good week of practice and try to go out shoot

1687
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 13: on Sunday.

1688
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 9: What's preparing like when you have two tackles who are

1689
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 9: unable at.

1690
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 2: This stage to call kick you and to do kind

1691
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 2: knowing that.

1692
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:50,720
Speaker 8: To the consistency of the stability there has been pretty impressive.

1693
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: In the last three four years when happened all of

1694
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:54,720
Speaker 1: a sudden.

1695
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, obviously, different different faces, different way of communicating with

1696
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:01,800
Speaker 13: some guys. I've had full faith in the guys that

1697
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 13: that will play if if the other two can't. And

1698
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 13: ultimately it takes uh takes everybody doing their job, stepping

1699
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 13: up and making plays and communicating well and havingm like

1700
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 13: I said, a good week of practice. So you know,

1701
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 13: you can't replace your your two starting tackles. It's it's

1702
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 13: hard to do that. But again, we we trust the

1703
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 13: guys that we're are are willing to step up and

1704
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 13: play if need be, and you know, we gotta gotta

1705
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 13: trust them and roll with them.

1706
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 1: What's the process, like Rich in terms of meetings.

1707
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,680
Speaker 11: Or if just Homer handle that a lot of it,

1708
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 11: or how do you guys get together and heat in

1709
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 11: terms of making sure that.

1710
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 13: Everybody's in the same Yeah, I mean Cromer does a

1711
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 13: lot of that obviously in walkthroughs and in practice, just

1712
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 13: making sure we're communicating, you know, have a big, big

1713
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 13: meeting with your line tomorrow and just making sure that

1714
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 13: we're relaying information. And again, just the biggest thing is

1715
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 13: communication and understanding when you have help when you don't.

1716
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 13: And yeah, it's just it's my job to go out

1717
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 13: there and and try to facilitate the football to our guys.

1718
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,520
Speaker 5: What is the level of these are always the level emergency,

1719
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 5: but knowing that you're getting in some excuse me, we

1720
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 5: can and knowing we're whether you know or don't know,

1721
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 5: we're you know, on the standings. I mean, this is

1722
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 5: a big game as far as tiebreakers, as far as

1723
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 5: getting yourselves right. The level of sets of urgency blowing.

1724
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 13: In Yeah, extremely high sense of urgency. You know, we,

1725
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 13: like I said, we understand where we're at. At the

1726
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 13: same time, we have full confidence in ourselves, but you know,

1727
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 13: ultimately comes down to executing on game days. And you know,

1728
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:38,720
Speaker 13: we've had some good had some bad throughout the year.

1729
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:41,719
Speaker 13: You know, I think there'd be a lot of teams

1730
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 13: that are wishing that they were seven to four in

1731
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 13: a spot that we are, so also understanding that that

1732
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 13: opportunity in front of us of hey, like, let's go out,

1733
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:51,600
Speaker 13: it's play as hard as we can. That's put our

1734
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 13: best foot forward, you know, and and try to go

1735
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 13: get a victory on Sunday. You know, that's ultimately what

1736
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,599
Speaker 13: it comes down to of whoever plays best on Sunday.

1737
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 5: A lot from and this is out of value, but

1738
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 5: we've heard a lot from you, Joe saying, you know,

1739
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 5: we have confidence in the offense, and yet we keep

1740
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 5: giving these skills in the valance. How do you get

1741
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 5: how do you school close things out?

1742
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 6: And have you.

1743
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,600
Speaker 12: Stopped from the baller in this that's on me.

1744
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 14: What did you make of the addition of Brandon Cooks.

1745
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:22,720
Speaker 14: I know you've had one day to work with him,

1746
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 14: but what do you say from him? And do you

1747
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:26,759
Speaker 14: think he can maybe help the offense in somewhere here.

1748
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I think, uh, you know, bringing a

1749
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 13: guy like him in and being a veteran presence for

1750
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 13: our room.

1751
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 12: You know, he's come in here.

1752
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 13: He he's already basically learned learned our playbook. He's an

1753
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 13: extremely high football like you guys been around the league

1754
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 13: for a long time. The way that he carries himself,

1755
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 13: the way that he's is in meetings already, it's very

1756
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 13: apparent that he's a true professional, you know. To come

1757
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 13: out here and practice the way that he did speaks

1758
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:53,640
Speaker 13: a lot about who he is as a person, as

1759
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 13: a player, you know, and we appreciate him coming here

1760
01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 13: and hopefully helping us out listen loss with us.

1761
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 6: Like you had a texture throw in time.

1762
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 5: With Kena where you where you two app did? What

1763
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 5: do you make of what possibility of his or so?

1764
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:12,599
Speaker 12: Yeah, I know we got to take it one day

1765
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 12: at a time.

1766
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 13: He's got to take it one day at a time

1767
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 13: and again making sure we're doing everything possible to be

1768
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 13: ready for whenever that time is.

1769
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 12: You know, I haven't lost any faith in him, you know.

1770
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 13: I I you know, have a lot of work, a

1771
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 13: lot of comfortableness with him, and you know, whenever that

1772
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,800
Speaker 13: time is for him, he'll be ready.

1773
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 14: We're in a similar situation even worse. Actually recordnized at

1774
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 14: six and six, you know, able to go on a run.

1775
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 14: I know every year and every team is different, but

1776
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 14: if you look back on that experience of maybe not

1777
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 14: being exactly where he wanted to be in the standings

1778
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 14: at that time and try to apply anything from that.

1779
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,759
Speaker 13: Year to this season, yeah, I mean just understanding, uh

1780
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 13: you know that back against the back against the wall mindset,

1781
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 13: feeling like we've been in a situation like this, Like

1782
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 13: you said, if not worse, you know, we'd love to

1783
01:26:59,920 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 13: be eleven and zer right now. As what everybody else

1784
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 13: in the NFL. You know, that's why we play the

1785
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 13: game on the field, not on paper. And ultimately, again

1786
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 13: it's it's our goal to go out there and win

1787
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 13: every single game, and we haven't done that, but again,

1788
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 13: every week's an opportunity to go out there and.

1789
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,920
Speaker 12: Prove to ourselves that we do have what it takes.

1790
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 13: And yeah, you know, we're we're just very excited for

1791
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 13: another opportunity.

1792
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:26,799
Speaker 12: On Sunday, there was a clip.

1793
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 8: When you were at YO mean talking to the team,

1794
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 8: and you said that you.

1795
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 12: Loved feeling like you do after a loss, you loved

1796
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 12: feeling sore and like you.

1797
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 10: Guys could have done more. When did you learn.

1798
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 4: To love that?

1799
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:41,680
Speaker 13: I think since I started playing the game. You know,

1800
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 13: it's this game is not for everybody to get hitting,

1801
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 13: to keep getting back up. That's something that you kind

1802
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 13: of learn over time. But I knew her very early

1803
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 13: on that this is what I wanted to do with

1804
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 13: my life, and this is who I wanted to be,

1805
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 13: you know. So yeah, early on in my life, I

1806
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 13: kind of knew that I wanted this.

1807
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 10: Can you speak like you've.

1808
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,680
Speaker 14: Seen from him on Phil and the Steelers.

1809
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 13: Pass, Yeah, I think they got They got a bunch

1810
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 13: of guys on their front that can absolutely go. Obviously,

1811
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,600
Speaker 13: you have to know exactly where ninety's at, you know,

1812
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 13: And it seems you turn on the tape, everybody's putting

1813
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 13: four hands and chipping and bringing a guard and you

1814
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 13: know they're they're doing whatever they can to not let

1815
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:25,439
Speaker 13: him disrupt the game as much as they can.

1816
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:27,440
Speaker 12: But then you you leave yourself.

1817
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 13: Susceptible to the other guys that they got, So yeah,

1818
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 13: I mean, they they fly around. I think their back

1819
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 13: end has been making some plays. I think Patrick Queen

1820
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 13: is one of the best linebackers in the game. So yeah,

1821
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 13: they're They're a really really good unit obviously kind of

1822
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 13: led by their defensive line and their defensive front. So

1823
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 13: we got to be ready for whatever they throw at us.

1824
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 13: And and like I said, put together a good game plan.

1825
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 2: Well, Josh made a playing and simple How do you

1826
01:28:57,360 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 2: play better on the road?

1827
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 4: He said, stop turning the ball over? That's on me.

1828
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 4: He's had more than one turnover in each of.

1829
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 2: His last three of his last four road so and

1830
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 2: those have all been losses.

1831
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:13,600
Speaker 4: The only win was at Carolina.

1832
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: I've said it a couple of times over this last

1833
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 1: seven or eight days that you know this, this team's

1834
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: built around its offense and they communicate. And remember how

1835
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: Josh was going to get better pre snap. What that

1836
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 1: means is he calls plays, false cadences, all the whole thing,

1837
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 1: and that he's got to do that. You can't do

1838
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: that on the road, is effectively when it's noisy, and

1839
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: that has really hamstrung him.

1840
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 2: He also said Brandon Cooks is a quick study. He

1841
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 2: worked for two years in LA with Aaron Cromer. The

1842
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 2: offensive line coach, and his rookie season was with Ronald Curry,

1843
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:44,080
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks coach. We'll see if they can incorporate him.

1844
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 2: We're off tomorrow.

1845
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 1: We'll see Thanksgiving
