00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh, a good time of plasterers done done at all time.

00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: airfield kind of a I guess it's a bright day.

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: Not a particularly nice day here in Orchard Park, but okay,

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: it was forty nine degrees when I drove into work

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: today a couple of hours ago. I think it's warmed

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: up a little bit since then. But we don't care

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: about the weather here in the Orchard Park care about

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: for nothing. But I got a little alert from my club,

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: my golf club that I belonged to. Yeah, frost alert tonight,

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: frost alert Friday, the first Friday day of October. I

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: can live with that. Didn't you play golf when there's frost? No? No,

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: that gus They want to keep it shut off until

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: about nine thirty ten in the morning when the frost leaves,

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: and then you can go out and play. Okay, so

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: very good to know, work for your future, future reference.

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Um, we're here for three hours today.

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: John Murphy was Steve Tasker. We got a good show,

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: a good Friday show. We kind of specialized in these

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: and as I said, this week flew by. You know,

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: I think we spent I'm not gonna say inordinate, but

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: we spent a lot of time earlier in the week

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: talking about the loss of the Patriots. It was a

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: meaningful and significant loss, but I gotta plug in my

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: thing here, Steve, do you mind if I stand? But

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, it didn't end the season or

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: devastate the season. Is this bad TV? No? No, because

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: it was bad TV. But we're a radio show, so

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: you feel free. I'm we talked about that so much

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to say the Titans game snuck

37
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: up on us, but it feels a little bit like

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: it's a couple on us here tip this week. Yeah,

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: we've been talking a little bit about it, Like like

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: yesterday we started thinking we kind of turned the night.

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: Yesterday was Wednesday. I kind of we kind of tried

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: to turn the too. But even then we turned the

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: page on this to this game, it was like, in

44
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: context of the game, we just lost, you know, and

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: so it was it was like, how's this game going

46
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: to be different? Now, we've still got questions about Josh

47
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: Allen hasn't cleared the concussion protocol as of yet. Uh,

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: maybe he will late today, I don't know. Uh, but

49
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley's got to get ready to play. They they

50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: cut Connor McDermott last night, the extra tackle that they

51
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: have on the on the roster, So there's a roster

52
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: spot open. So if they want to activate somebody like

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: Davis Webb, the third quarterback on the practice squad, they've

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: got a spot to do that. Now. They haven't as

55
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: of yet that we know of, and today they got

56
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: to go out and practice. Tomorrow they travel. You know,

57
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: there's always that hope that maybe there's some way they can,

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, get Josh ready to play with no practice.

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: I don't know how many reps he's been taken or

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: what he's been. He's been limited all week. He's in

61
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. I mean, maybe there's some way they

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: have I don't know. Is there a gamesmanship that you

63
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: can do with a concussion Well, if there is, they're

64
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: doing it. Well, I mean I don't know if they

65
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: are or not, but but they could right now. Right,

66
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: here's the thing. We don't know. Who's gonna start everybody.

67
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: I talked to you right same with you asking nobody knows.

68
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: We don't know. And the Bills aren't saying. And this

69
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: part I want to start with. They're not saying not saying,

70
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: They're saying, he's in a concussion Protocyn's If he's a

71
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, he ain't playing. That's it. If he's in there,

72
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: he is not playing, but he can come out. But

73
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: he can come out. But how you know when's that

74
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: gonna Is he gonna have like Saturday? I don't know.

75
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: I mean it could. There's no timetable. Right, That's the

76
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: thing about concussion protocol and for if you're trying to

77
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: conceal what your intentions are, it's the beautiful thing about

78
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Right, you can keep everybody in the dark,

79
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: as the Bills have right up to the bitter end.

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: And here's the question I have for you, as a

81
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: former player, guy's been around the league for a while.

82
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: How much an advantage is that if you're the Tennessee

83
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: Titans defensive staff dnps their defensive coordinator, obviously their head

84
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: coach has a defensive background as well. How much I'm

85
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: an advantage is that trying to figure out is Josh

86
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Allen or is it Matt Barkley? Do you think it's

87
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: not all? I mean? Do you think Mike Vrabel tossed

88
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: and turned in bed last night trying to figure this out?

89
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I don't know, and I don't know

90
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: what how big a difference in man? And I don't

91
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: know what you think you can get away with? All

92
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: it takes is you know, one of your players to

93
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: tell his agent. You know, I ain't. You know, it's

94
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: just not a secret you can keep. If you're in

95
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol, you are not going to play professional football.

96
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: And right now Josh is in it, so it's Matt Barkley.

97
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: And then they cleared a roster spot again that changed

98
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: can change by three O Does that make a difference?

99
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: Are they gonna say, listen, John, you know he's ready,

100
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: but he's not. He hasn't practiced, you know he's not.

101
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: He hasn't taken a practice. He's limited. You don't know

102
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: that he's he's been limited in practice. They don't tell

103
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: us how much practice he'said, right, but limited means limited, Yes,

104
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't mean full. Devin's singletary is limited. Do you

105
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: think he's playing? I think he probably is. Well, yeah,

106
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: but that's a hammy that need a concussion lost me. Here,

107
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: here's what we know. Josh is in concussion protocol, remains there.

108
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: Will he come out? He can, maybe as early as

109
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: this afternoon. He has been limited in practice for two

110
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: days Wednesday Thursday. Once today's practice wraps up, we'll get

111
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: the practice report. Other than but we don't know what

112
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: he's done in practice. So what are you telling me

113
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: that he's officially out? You don't think he's playing? Okay,

114
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: I can accept that, but I don't think it's true yet.

115
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: I think there's still a chance, and I think the

116
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: Bills are going to play this out as long as

117
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: they possibly can. Here's what I think it will happen. Well, today,

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: they'll say he was limited again on Friday and is

119
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: questionable for a Sunday, and he may remain in protocol

120
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: today until he has to come off I believe tomorrow

121
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: at four, You know what I'm saying. I think that's

122
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: what we're gonna look at today. But I don't know.

123
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Again my question, it makes a difference, right Tennessee type,

124
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: I would think, But how comfortable are you as a

125
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Bills organization to throw him out there in that situation?

126
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: If he's cleared from protocol, he's cleared twenty twenty one

127
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: hours before the game, I'm comfortable because, yes, it doesn't

128
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: mean he's said concussion. We don't know. It doesn't mean

129
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: he's had concussion symptoms all week. It means now it's

130
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: when they get him out of the protocol. Look, he

131
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: might have been healed up Monday Tuesday. Again, that's the

132
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: reason why they have concussion protocol is because it's not

133
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: like a hamstring or a or a knee ligament. You know,

134
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: it has its own way, and there's different there's vastly

135
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: different stages of concussions that each guy reacts to differently.

136
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: He might have he might have felt pretty good Monday

137
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: or Tuesday. Shoot, the way he ran off the field Sunday,

138
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: he looked like he felt pretty good. All I'm saying

139
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: is we don't know what his status will be. We

140
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: know that he remains in protocol right now, and stay tuned.

141
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: I think this might go right down to the wire.

142
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Do you feel that way? Yeah, I don't know. I

143
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how comfy I am throwing

144
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: him out there when he hadn't had a full week,

145
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: not a full week, but like no week, right like

146
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: twenty one hours of Now he's been out there. We

147
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: know that what he's practiced clearance. I mean, why does

148
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: that matter? I don't know. It seems seems funky to me.

149
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: He hasn't he has practiced on a limited basis. Again,

150
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: what are symptoms? We don't know. I don't know why

151
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: that would matter to you when he comes out of protocol.

152
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: Well it's not. It's because how ready can he get

153
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: for a game that he's only been ready to play

154
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: in for twenty one hours? Well, he's practiced Wednesday Thursday,

155
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: and let's assume he's going to be limited again. How

156
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: do we know what he did? And we don't. That's

157
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, you don't know what he did

158
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: and what he did not do. So that's the thing.

159
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: It was there stuff We don't know if he did

160
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: a ton of stuff in practice and took the reps

161
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: and look good. All right, maybe, But if he was

162
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: he literally split reps or didn't take reps or took

163
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: the backup reps, I don't know. What are we talking

164
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: about here? You know? Limited? Yeah, that's what we're talking about.

165
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,559
Speaker 1: So I don't know. If I didn't say very limited,

166
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: it says limited. I know, there's no like percentage limited. Nope,

167
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't say a ton of reps, doesn't say backup reps,

168
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: doesn't say backup reps. We gotta call the league. Yeah,

169
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: good luck with that, right, I mean, that's what we're

170
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: talking about. We don't do a lot. We don't know.

171
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: And I getting a guy cleared a day at that spot,

172
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: a day before the game, I don't know. I'm not

173
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: comfortable with it. Why again, Why he's practice here? He

174
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: practices limitedly in a limited basis Wednesday, Thursday, Friday? Who cares? When?

175
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: I guess it's not his tag comes off over. I

176
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: guess it's because he's got fifteen games and rescardi enders belt,

177
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: not fifteen years. You know what I'm saying. Fifty? You

178
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: got a ten year vet there. He doesn't need to

179
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: take reps during practice. He just needs to be there

180
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: in the game plan, gets it, watch it on film. Josh,

181
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: I think needs more than that. I would say, we'll see.

182
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about quarterbacks again today. We're gonna talk

183
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: about Josh and Matt Barkley and the other quarterback, Marcus Mariota.

184
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: And that is the topic of our Twitter poll. We

185
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: have a poll today and it's up right now on

Speaker 1: hear from you, or respond just to the Twitter poll.

192
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: Here it is which quarterback will have the biggest impact

193
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday's game against the Titans? Which one? Is it

194
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna be Josh Allen? Is it gonna be Matt Barkley Again,

195
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: you're guessing who's gonna play. Is it gonna be Marcus

196
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: Mariota Titans quarterback? Yes a twist. A Twitter poll so

197
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: far three hundred seventy five votes and sixty two percent

198
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: of sixty three percent of you say Josh Allen will

199
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact on Sunday's game. Twenty four percent

200
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: say Matt Barkley. Thirteen percent say Marcus Mariota. You know

201
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: here's and this goes back. Let me just say Yesterday's

202
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: poll was um maybe as Wednesday's Who cares the Bill's defenses?

203
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: What will decide the issue? I believe that I believe.

204
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: I don't think Tennessee has what it takes to go

205
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 1: up against this Buffalo defense. I really don't. And I

206
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: know the Mariota throw through four touchdown passes last week.

207
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: I think Mariota has the most to say about how

208
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: this game goes Sunday because I think Josh and Matt

209
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: Barkley they're not similar quarterbacks, They're not equal backs in

210
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: terms of talent, But I think the Bills can get

211
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: it done with either one of those guys. Now, I

212
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: don't think that Mariota Tennessee. I don't think he'll have

213
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: much success at all against the Buffalo defense. I think

214
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: he will have the biggest impact. Unfortunately for the Titans,

215
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: it'll be a negative impact for them. So I would

216
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: vote for Marcus Mariota. Which quarterback will have the biggest

217
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: impact on Sunday's game. I would vote for Marcus Mariota.

218
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: I think his I think his weaknesses will be exposed

219
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: by a very very good Buffalo defense. I think he's

220
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: going to have a heck of a rough time against

221
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: the Bills defense. That's my vote, Marcus Mariota. All right,

222
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: explain yeah, I was gonna say this too. This is

223
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: kind of marks I think a watermark, a small historic

224
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: statistical spot in our Twitter history that we have an

225
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: opponent opposing player mentioned on our Twitter poll. I don't

226
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: know about that. I never in there, not in my

227
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: tenure here. All right, well, let's get the analytics people

228
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: to work on people go back and we'll ask H.

229
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: We'll ask H what's the name of the as sports

230
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: to go back in the history and find that for us.

231
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: If it's whether another opponent opposing player has ever been

232
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: on our Twitter poll, I gotta say, Marcus Mario to two,

233
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: I think that might be it. Are What got us

234
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: on this too, was also our Twitter poll from yesterday,

235
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: which was, you know, is does Matt with a full

236
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: does Matt Josh with limited practice give it a better chance?

237
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: Barkley with a full week of practice, give us a

238
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: better chance? Or it doesn't matter, defense wins, and everybody

239
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: thought forty three percent of the people thoughts the defense

240
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: is gonna win it those whichever quarterback doesn't matter now,

241
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: so today it's like, all right, which quarterback is gonna

242
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: be the difference hours or theirs? And whichever two of

243
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: one of ours you think is gonna play? Which one

244
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: of you think is gonna play? And early on it

245
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: looks like everybody thinks it's gonna be Josh, Yeah, I

246
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: have a little you know, there's time on the Twitter poll.

247
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm surprised that there's sixty three percent of the

248
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: responded and say, Josh, they have the biggest impact, because

249
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: quite frankly, we don't know if we'll have the biggest impact.

250
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: He may have no impact on the game, right, Yeah,

251
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: you may know him. Maybe he may have a clipboard.

252
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, yeah, not ain't gonna have much of

253
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: an impact. I think Marioda's lack of talent is lack.

254
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: I just don't think the guy plays. And I've watched

255
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: three of their games, and you know, I could be wrong.

256
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: You can laugh at me Monday if I'm wrong. And

257
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: if he lights it up for every good throw he makes,

258
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: there's four ones, and you're like, h really, that's it.

259
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: I just don't think the guy, I don't think he

260
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: belongs really as a starter in the NFL. Two weeks

261
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: ago Thursday Night Football, and I watched that game a

262
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: lot over the last few days. Thursday Night Football at Jacksonville,

263
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Tennessee. Marioda was awful. He was terrible. They

264
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: were talking about benching him the following week, going to

265
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: Atlanta and replacing him with Ryan Tannehill. How desperate, how

266
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: desperate they have to be if Ryan Tannehill looks good,

267
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: like a better alternative. Now, they did not make that move,

268
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: and they're probably happy they didn't. Marioda threw the four

269
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. He's got great playmakers around him, got a good,

270
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: solid running back in Dereck Henry. Really a big, thick

271
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: running back. He's sick. He's a poor man. Sa Quon Barkley,

272
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 1: as I watched him the other day, you know what

273
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: I mean. Not as fast as sake one that is

274
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: spectacular movement right, doesn't have that, but he is good

275
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: and he is thick and hard to bring down. Dereck Henry.

276
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: So Marcus Mariota has weapons around him that offense, his weapons,

277
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: except with the quarterback spot. I don't think he can

278
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: compete against the Buffalo defense. Just my opinion. I could

279
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: be wrong, and I'll tell you this too. I'm he

280
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: played really well against Atlanta, And when I was watching

281
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: that game, I was kind of the opposite of you, Murv.

282
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think Mariota played. I thought Atlanta was horrific

283
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: in that game against Tennessee. Their defense looked horrible. I

284
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: mean they were, they were bad, and you know, the

285
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: Titans made him pay for it. Um. They hung up

286
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: twenty four points on him and walked out of there

287
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 1: with a win. Um. I just and Derrick Henry was

288
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: running through him like tall weeds. I mean, it was,

289
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: it was. It was a spectacle. And that so I

290
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: think Tennessee's got to feel really good about where their

291
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: offense is after going into Atlanta on the road in

292
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: the NFC and thumping those guys. And like I said,

293
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: Mary can make an occasional good throw, can you do

294
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: it consistently? Does Atlanta's defense matchup against what Buffalo can do? No?

295
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: Not on defense, No, I don't think so. I think

296
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the Bills we'll do picks. But if we remember, we'll

297
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: do picks in the last segment. But I'm gonna pick

298
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I'm gonna pick them not by a

299
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: ton of points, but a comfortable margin. I will give

300
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: you that preview, and I think you will too, right,

301
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: I think so. I think so. I've been talking about

302
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,280

304
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: really tough for Tennessee to move the football on. Last

305
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: year in this building, when the Bills had two of

306
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: their starters out with injury, they managed four field goals.

307
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: It will be a day like that tomorrow or Sunday

308
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: for the Titans again, I think too. What do you

309
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: think of Sunday's game? Which quarterback will have the biggest

310
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: influence on Sunday's game? Josh Allen, Matt Barkley, Marcus Mariona.

339
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: the Sabers looked different. Uh. And I was concerned too,

340
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: because early in the second that came out and Pittsburgh

341
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of tried to shift gears and get back in it,

342

00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: so Kelly's walking down. He slips and slides and falls

415
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: down like nine nine stairs down to the bottom. The

416
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,479

419
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: just slipped off the front of the step one. He

420
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: stayed on his feet, but it looked like, oh, it's

421
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: gonna be bad, right, And the whole place, and they

422

447
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: up when you start thinking about your city and the

00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: stuff that goes on in this town and what it

449

00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: you play and not only you know, it's not like

455
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: New York where they like they appreciate you when you

456
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: play with and when you're successful, or in Philly when

457
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: you know you're gritty and tough. In Buffalo, it's not

458
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: like they just they just like you and cheer for

459
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: you because you're given one hundred percent. Ever, you're part

460
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: of the family. It's like you're invited to Thanksgiving in

461
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: this town. You're forever like a brother's son, uncle, you

462
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: know guy, And that's different, you know. I mean it's

463
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: a they just this town does. Doesn't forget these guys

464
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: that are on this video. It's pretty cool, good video

465
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: it is. It's really it was a good start. I'm

466
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: proud to save. They did a nice job with that.

467
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: And the thing that I did watch the end of

468
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: last night once I got back home was the Thursday

469
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: night football game, which is pretty good finish. I mean,

470
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: the Rams in Seattle went toe to toe, a ton

471
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: of points scored on the final Warriors that got her

472
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine. Yeah, Seattle wins it by a point in Seattle.

473
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: Russell and field goal, yeah, greggs arline forty four yard

474
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: game when you feel goal when it goes wide right, Um,

475
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: it was just a great finish. I probably watched half

476
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: of the third and most of the fourth. All of

477
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Russell Wilson averaged almost twelve yards per

478
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: pass attempt, four touchdowns to four different receivers. The whole

479
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: the whole world of social media this morning and last

480
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: night too, was just uns dither over Russell Wilson's performance

481
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: last night. He you know that all this stuff, you know,

482
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: all the stuff that Russell Wilson has done over he

483
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: won a super Bowl, lost a super Bowl on that

484
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: interception to the Patriots. You remember that he's done all

485
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: this stuff. He's put up some good numbers, but in

486
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: this day and age, you know, most guys do. And

487
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: he's always been one of those guys, like his third

488
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: round draft pick, he's always one of those guys who's

489
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: been Hey, you know, I don't know outside of Seattle.

490
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: In the end, they're like last night was one of

491
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: those nights where it's like, what what do you think

492
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: of that? Yeah, it was like, wow, that guy is different.

493
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: One of the top three four quarterbacks in the game.

494
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: He is the guy wins. He's not a he's not

495
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: a prolific passer, but he can throw it and and

496
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: throw up five hundred yards passing and you know, you

497
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: get the feeling he could do that. He's a you

498
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: know what he is. He is a playmaker, yeah, and

499
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's he takes the plays that are there.

500
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: But then he extends the first touchdown of the night

501
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: last night when he rolled out to his left and

502
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: threw it a you know, kind of side arm into

503
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: the back left corner of the end zone. It was

504
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: just a phenomenal play. The people on MSG or now

505
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: I know this is a different one. He just and

506
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: the fourth down conversion the guy bobbled in the end

507
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: zone to give him the lead. Just an amazing game

508
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: by Russell Wilson. So the whole football world today is

509
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: just you know, paying tribute to this guy in the

510
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: game he had last night. You know what else they're

511
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: talking about, though, too, was the bad call on Seattle's

512
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown drive, the unnecessary roughness Matthews claim. Matthews

513
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: just not. It was terrible, not even close to being

514
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: the right call, and I agree, And it extended that

515
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: drive and they scored on it. And it's frustrating, right,

516
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know the Rams feel it. The Rams

517
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: did not play poorly at all, and they came from

518
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: behind and made a big game of it. But to

519
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: lose it on a play on a call like that,

520
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: it was just awful. And there were a couple of

521
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: bad ones, but that one was particularly bad and directly

522
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: affected the outcoming. And this is and this is a

523
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: thing that'll go actually you talk about it and this

524
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: is how you know, the social media world we live in,

525
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: this will come back on Russell. There'll be these guys saying, yeah,

526
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: he played, did all that, Yeah, it's all good. They

527
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: should have lost the game. On two different occasions that

528
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: Seahawks had no business winning that game against the Rams.

529
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: The last kick, which was the last play that which

530
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: boom would have lost it for the Seahawks, and then

531
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: the play the penalty he got that he didn't deserve

532
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: it again and roughing the pastor call earlier in the

533
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: game that gave the chance to even to take the lead.

534
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: All of that stuff comes back and you'll it'll circle

535
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: back and say, see Wilson, Yeah he does all this

536
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: stuff and he shouldn't even have won. But the play

537
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: that you're talking about, the Clay Matthews roughing a pastor call,

538
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: well we do it all the time. It was I

539
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: think even by today's standards, it was a bad, bad call.

540
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: So I think that's what needs to be said. Forget

541
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: about the lead, you know, the game getting soft, all that.

542
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: I hear all that, but this play was bad even

543
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: by today's standards. It should not have been a penalty.

544
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: And let's hope we don't get calls like that. Sunday

545
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 1: right for the Bills in the Tennessee Titans. Brad Rodgers

546
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: is the official. The referee for Sunday's Bills game in Nashville.

547
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: We know Brad Rogers. We had him on the show.

548
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: He was he and his crew visited the Bills a

549
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: training camp and we had him on. He looked up

550
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: today first week of August. Seemed like a good guy.

551
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: It's his first year as an NFL referee, He's been

552
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: an official for a couple of years. Seemed like a guys.

553
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: Seemed like you knew what he was talking about. See

554
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: a good referee. I don't know. See, we'll see. You know.

555
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: Here's what we're okay. So if we're diligent, we would

556
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: go back, find out where he was last week and

557
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: go back and watch film on him. Well I'm not good. Yeah,

558
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: I'm not watching referee film. Yeah yeah, oh yeah. The

559
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: clubs will go back and keep track of all the

560
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: calls they made, why they made him, how they were made,

561
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: and also any I know Peyton Manning used to was

562
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: notorious for keeping a file of the conversations he had

563
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: on the field with the each official. So remember that

564
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: last game we talked about this. I put that, and

565
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: he'll go back and look at what he children and

566
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: what he said to have been passed and what the

567
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: guy's reaction was. The weather Sunday in Nashville. It's gonna

568
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: be uh, scattered showers and thunderstorms Sunday. The high of

569
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: eighty five, probably gonna be muggy. Winds are gonna be

570
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: south southwest ten miles per hour, sixty percent chance of rain.

571
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: So if you're headed there and a lot of people

572
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: are a lot of Buffalo Bills fans are be ready

573
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: for that rain. Right. Everybody I talked to was going

574
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: to that game, people from Buffalo and people from the South. Um,

575
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,920

Speaker 1: did one of the Bills games in Tennessee three years ago,

580
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: four years ago. And you're getting two calls to everybody,

605
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: We don't know if he's playing or will it be

606
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota of the Tennessee Titans. That's the one I

607
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: would vote for. Let's know what you think eight oh

608
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: three fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

609
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: two five fifty. So we squeeze him a call or

610
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: take a break and go to Andy Leavitrie, Steve, you

611
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: make the call. What do you want to take a call?

612
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to a j D and Buffalo. Hello j D,

613
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: Thank guys, thanks for taking on call. Sure, yeah, you

614
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: know I'm leaning towards starting Barkley. If Allen has missed

615
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: one rep, I don't need like him only practice in

616
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: fifty percent. I guess my feeling is where where he

617
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: is in his development. He needs to take all the

618
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: reps to be prep for a Sunday. So this is

619
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: where I fall on. What do you think, Steve? I

620
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: just agree, I'm kind of yeah. I don't know about

621
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: all the reps, but enough reps and I don't know

622
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: what that is, and I don't know how many reps

623
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: he got. He was certainly limited, so he couldn't do

624
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: any contact work during the game. Not the quarterbacks are

625
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: out there banging the blocking sled anyway, But I'm interested

626
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: to see how ready he looks for this game after

627
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: the week he's had. If he indeed clears protocol and

628
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: they play him, I don't know, you know what I mean,

629
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: because certainly he didn't start off fast last week when

630
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: he was one hundred percent against the Patriots. This Tennessee

631
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: defense is a really stout defense as well. It's not

632
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: going to be easy to decipher what they're doing. That

633
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: would give me some concern, But I guess I'm with you,

634
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: j D. I'm I'm worried about how much prep he's

635
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: had and how sharp he'll look in the early going. Okay, well,

636
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it all day. Which quarterback has the

637
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: most to say about who wins on Sunday? Let us

638
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: know what you think. We're gonna take a break when

639
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: we come back. Andy Levitri joins his former Bills offensive lineman,

640
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: former Titans offensive lineman, former Atlanta Falcon's offensive lineman went

641
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl with them. He's gonna join his

642
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: next t about this game and catch up with us.

643
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: Let you know, let us know what he's up to.

682

Speaker 1: laws are all up here in Orchard Park. Yeah, they're

00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: and tell Steve trying to tell Steve the story. And

686
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: we don't want to talk about your your kids the

687
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: whole time we got you here. But the story of

688
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: your your your daughter's birth around the NFC Championship game

689
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: with your wife Katie, right, Tell tell Steve because I

690
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: know the story. But it was such a cool story.

691
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: Everything went down a couple of years ago. Yeah, So, um,

692
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: we were playing I think it was a Sea Hawks

693
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: at home. I think it was the game before the

694
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: NFC Championship. But so, you know, I got to the game.

695
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: I know my wife was kind of due at any

696
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: moment and she was a few days late. But um,

697
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: you know I played the game, and you know, usually

698
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking if something was going on, the player

699
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: development guy would tell me what's going on. But anyways,

700
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: we played the game, we're celebrating to win. I'm walking

701
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: through the tunnel off the field and then he comes

702
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: up to me and he goes, Hey, your wife's in

703
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: the player you know the family waiting room. Um, she's

704
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: in labor. You should probably go go check her. You're

705
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: go say hi and checking on her. So, you know,

706
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: everybody type five and when we were talking and celebrating

707
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 1: and so just you know, get changed real quick run

708
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: out there, and um, you know she's in she's a

709
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: lot of pain. But um, she insists that we go

710
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: back home and go hang out at the house for

711
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I think the game into a

712
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: like six thirty seven o'clock. So we end up staying

713
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: at home until about ten o'clock at night, and within

714
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: two hours of being at the hospital, she gave birth

715
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: to our daughter. So that was pretty wild. Was that

716
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: your pretty wild day? Andy? Was that your first baby? Yeah? Firstborn?

717
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's great. Yeah, Andy, And I never

718
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: talked to you after that game. The Falcons lost to

719
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: New England and and you know, Upper in Buffalo were

720
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: used to uh surviving losses to the Patriots, but they

721
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: had to be a tough one. The way that Super

722
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: Bowl played out for you, I would think, huh, yeah,

723
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: I've never liked those guys anyway, and I never that

724
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: hasn't changed. There's nothing to like there, all right, exactly,

725
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about this game. You've been

726
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. I mean, you you played for those guys.

727
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Give us a little bit of your sense about how

728
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: this game's gonna fold, particularly with the questions Buffalo as

729
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Yeah, that's gonna be interesting to see. I

730
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: mean they've been starting they started off really strong this year.

731
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch them. And I mean Tennessee, Uh,

732
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, had a great game last week as well,

733
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be I think it's gonna be a

734
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: good matchup either way. I think, you know, there's a

735
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: lot of playmakers on both sides of the ball for

736
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: for both teams, and so you know, I'm kind of

737
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: a neutral fan here for this game, but uh, you

738
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: know I'll be I'll be watching for sure. My wife

739
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: and I are playing on going to the game. Who

740
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: do you root for these days? The Titans, the Bills,

741
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons, none of the above. Well, I would say

742
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: it's hard when they're playing each other to root for anybody,

743
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: But you know I've room for all of them. Those

744
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: are all my teams, So whenever they're playing on Sundays,

745
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: you know I'll be pulling for him. Andy Levitri our

746
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: guests to former Bills second round draft pick two thousand

747
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: and nine. Andy, your former running mate. I believe he

748
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: came out the same year. Is Eric Wood? Right? The

749
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: two of you were the same draft class, I believe, right? Yeah,

750
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: two thousand nine. I'm spending every Sunday with your buddy

751
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Eric now he's part of our radio broadcast. Do you

752
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: keep in touching him? Do you talk to him much? No,

753
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him in a while. I'm so

754
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: caught up with family life and getting into retirement and

755
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 1: such that you know, I barely have a free moment

756
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: to myself. Gotcha, when I wanted to ask you as well,

757
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 1: you had the distinction. We're up here with Frank Gore,

758
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: thirty six year old running back who's still doing it

759
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: and and playing well at thirty six years of old.

760
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: But you also every game you played in as a pro,

761
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: you were a starter, and you played in a ton

762
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: of one hundred and forty three games. What do you

763
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: think the key is and how impressive is it that

764
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, just give me, give our view listeners just

765
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: a chance to get how much respect there is in

766
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: the locker rooms for these guys that can play a long,

767
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a lot

768
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: of it's lucky because there's a lot of unfortunate injuries

769
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: that you know, kind of out of people's control. So

770
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, just being lucky enough to be healthy healthy

771
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: enough to play on you know that many games is

772
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, just it's kind of crazy to think about.

773
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: You know, you see all the stuff that happens, and

774
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: you you know, some games you play where you're banged

775
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: up a little bit and kind of contemplating whether you

776
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: could be playing that week or not. So, um, you know,

777
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: it's tough, but you know, a lot of taking care

778
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: of your body to try and put yourself in the

779
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: best position to be ready on Sundays. I think it's

780
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: a key. But you know, like I said, sometimes there's

781
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: just unfortunate injuries that happened that could you know, even

782
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: keep you out for a few games and whatnot, and

783
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: so um, you know, I've always just prided myself on

784
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: kind of doing the best that I can spend as

785
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: many free moments as I had, trying to stay as

786
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: healthy as possible, fresh as possible. Um, So you know,

787
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: I guess I could have attributed some of that to that. Well,

788
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: it's something worked right for you and you start, you

789
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: played one hundred forty three games in the league, and

790
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: you started one hundred forty three games in the league.

791
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: You were virtually always ready to go and ready to

792
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: start when you were healthy enough, right right, Yeah, towards

793
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: the end of my career when I my trcept, that

794
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 1: was kind of the start, which was really really weird

795
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: to be standing on the field, not dressed up with

796
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: all your buddies, you know, kind of run around getting

797
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: warmed up for a game. That was I'll never forget.

798
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: That was just like, seems so abnormal to me and

799
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: something something that you can't really get used to. I

800
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: haven't really stepped on a field and you know, been

801
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: around those guys since since I've been hurt, So it's

802
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: kind of it'll be interesting to see if I get

803
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: that opportunity again. Is this your first NFL game since

804
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: you retired? I know you just retired last minute, right, Yeah,

805
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: I just retired in May. M Yeah, I went up

806
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: to when I was still living in Atlanta. I went

807
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: to a practice, training camp, practice, but I haven't been

808
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: to a game yet, so this will be my first one.

809
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: So you were drafted in an O nine draft and

810
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: you spent your first three years here in Buffalo. What

811
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: are your memories of this town and this team. Obviously

812
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: you married a local girl from here and you've you've

813
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: raised a family with her, and your in laws are

814
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: here and they're all down to Nashville visiting you. But

815
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: I obviously it made a great impact on your personal

816
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: life from that regard, But what about the football into it?

817
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: What are your memories? Yeah, and a lot of people

818
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: anytime I say, oh, man, you lived in Buffalo, I'm like, Man,

819
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you've never been, you don't really know

820
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: what it's like, you know. Um, but I just remember

821
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: it being such a great city, just great people all around,

822
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: Like the whole city kind of embraces you. And um,

823
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: you get like a really kind of home type feeling there.

824
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: And um, you know, the weather is what it is,

825
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: but it's really not, you know, too bad. You can

826
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: get used to it. I grew up in California, so

827
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: even coming from you know, maybe one extreme to another,

828
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: it really wasn't how people make it out to be.

829
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I obviously I always have a

830
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: home there, so um, you know, I really enjoyed my

831
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: time there. Um and I always you know, might come

832
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: back every year as well, so um, you know, it

833
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: was a special place for me to be able to play,

834
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: and um, you know I always look forward to to

835
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: make my way back there and kind of brings up

836
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: some some good memories every time I make my trip

837
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: back there. Andy, what's next for you? Five months out

838
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: of the league? What what do you want to do next?

839
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: So with your career, with your life, that's a good question.

840
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: I Uh. People always talk about how it's a tough

841
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: transition in retirement, and I never really thought that. And

842
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: I you know, when I first retired, I was kind

843
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, I don't know if people were talking

844
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: about And it's just slowly kind of been. You know,

845
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like, what what am I gonna do?

846
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: And here I am about a year I got hurt

847
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: about a year ago, so, um, you know, there's a

848
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: lot of things I would love to do. Um. I

849
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: know one thing I'm doing now that I've been focusing

850
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: a lot of my time on, obviously is my family

851
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: with two young kids, you know, trying to help get

852
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: get my kids up to speed a little bit. Um.

853
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: And then you know, I've been doing some real estate

854
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: things actually out here in Nashville. Um, so that's kind

855
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: of been consuming some of my free time. Um. Yeah,

856
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: And I was trying to get down to a healthy Wait.

857
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, I figured I'd go one way or the other,

858
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: and so I was trying to, you know, work on

859
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: my health a little bit. Um. So yeah, that's that's

860
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: taken up a lot of my time. Stuff man, and

Speaker 1: Thank you, guys, apprecia having me on. Thanks Andy Andy

Speaker 1: Leavitrie former Bills, a second round picked two thousand and nine,

866
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: played four years here, went to Tennessee. He lives in Tennessee,

867
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: and then played finished up with the Atlanta Falcons where

868
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: he won the NFC and went to the Super Bowl

869
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: with the Atlanta Falcons. Always a good guy. Always he

870
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 1: was dependable, you know what I mean, and all those starts,

871
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: I mean you could always kind of count on Andy

872
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: Leavitri being in there in the lineup for the Bills. Yeah,

873
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: he hit a home run with his contract when he

874
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: went to Atlanta. And you know, it's one of the

875
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: guys that put together a nice ten year career, and

876
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: that's those are kind of the shoulders of guys like that,

877
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: or the guy who thinks that the reasons and the

878
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: ways that this team, this league was built the guys

879
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: who would come in and play almost every game. They

880
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: start in every game they were available, and just toughed

881
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: out a great career. Yeah, ten year career. Yeah. Thanks

882
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: to Andy for joining us. Bill's practice over. The word

883
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen remains in concussion protocol. That's what head

884
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermot told reporters moments ago, right after practice ended.

885
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: Does that change your thoughts about Sunday at all? What

886
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: do you think? I don't know. If it changes another

887
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: day where he can't play right, you know, but they

888
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: don't have to play on Sunday. They're not playing tonight.

889
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but he ain't right. I mean,

890
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: how many days do you have to be right before

891
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: you can play? And not just one? You know, just

892
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: wave a magic want to say he's gonna be fine?

893
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, And this is maybe I'm having trouble

894
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: with this. The fact that he's in the protocol does

895
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: not necessarily mean that he's not right, does it. It's

896
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: just when do you want to announce that he's right?

897
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I don't know. If he's

898
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: not right, he ain't right right. I agree with that,

899
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: but just because he's in protocol leads you to believe

900
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: that he's not right. Well, and if we are correcting

901
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: in our assessment that he's been in the step four,

902
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: as long as he's in step four, he can't be

903
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: fully cleared because the fifth step is fully cleared. Right, Yes,

904
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: so is keeping him at step four, which means he's

905
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: not right okay? And I don't know whether there's a

906
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: time frame in there where he has to be right

907
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: for there hours or fifty you know what I'm saying.

908
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: If he if he's in channel and if he's in

909
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: the fourth step and he does all this stuff, you

910
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: know this, whatever non contact stuff he can do and

911
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any setbacks, is there is there a

912
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: time frame where he has to be going that long

913
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: in that I know that protocol there is. Okay, Well,

914
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: then he ain't right? All right? Right? Am I correctness?

915
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're correct. I don't know. And

916
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: we got to get off this because we were not

917
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 1: reaching any conclusion here. I don't know that him being

918
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: in protocol automatically means he's not right. I'm just saying that.

919
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: But you're also saying that if he wasn't if he

920
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 1: was right, he wouldn't be in protocol. I'm not saying

921
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: that they might not make that. They're playing the music

922
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: to get us off of there. Okay, we'll move on

923
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 1: which quarterback the biggest impact on Sunday's game? Is Josh

924
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: Allen still in concussion protocol as of twelve forty five

925
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: pm on Friday. Is it Matt Barkley? Is it Mariota?

Speaker 1: Josh Allen remains in concussion protocol after today's Friday practice,

931
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 1: so our Twitter poll question remains intact. And that's really

932
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: what we're all about getting through these next three hours

933

Speaker 1: with a Twitter poll question that survives. You're on your

934
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: own after three o'clock today, you can figure it out.

935
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: What do you think which quarterback I have the biggest

936
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: impact on Sunday's game against Titans. Take a few phone

937
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: calls on other topics on the line. Right now, we'll

938
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: go to Kevin and Alberta. Hello, Kevin, Welcome to the show.

939
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: You're a long way from Buffalo. Great, Yeah, go ahead,

940
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: Ken Kanye, just one second. I just got turned on

941
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: my bluetooth. I've been a long time listener, first time caller,

942
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: and good morning guys. I'm doing pretty good. So I've

943
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: loved the Bills pretty much my whole license. I've been

944
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: five and I'm just so happy to see the progress

945
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: they've made, especially in the wide receiver a tight ends,

946
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 1: Like what a difference from what we've had to pass

947
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: three or four years. Like, it's just nice to see

948
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: guys that make it easier for Josh Allen to at

949
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: least getting the ball get separation. I think it was

950
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: like Dawson Knops like he's doing such a great jobs

951
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: fill name for Tyler Croft, Like I haven't seen Tyler Croft.

952
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: Nobody has really unless you go back to old tape.

953
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: But it's just such a great improvement. And I really

954
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 1: think that this UH franchise is going in the right direction. Awesome.

955
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: So what do you what do you think about this game?

956
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: Twitterpool today? Yeah? Go ahead, this game coming up. Honestly,

957
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: I'd rather have them take the time and give Josh

958
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: Allen this week off. Bye week off, comeback healthy. Like

959
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: here has a concussion last year, I believe, or maybe

960
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: it was just his shoulder when he got ruffed up

961
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: in that Texans game. Yeah, there's no concussion last year.

962
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: See him the time. Yeah, it was just that shoulder

963
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: when he got sandwich between those two defensive guys in

964
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: that Texans game. I've been right. I honestly, I think

965
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 1: I have a lot of excitement for seeing what Barkley

966
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: can do. He's had another year, year and a half

967
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: since that Jets game, and I only think it's going

968
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: to help him. I want to see him leave the team.

969
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: I want to see what he can do as a backup.

970
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: He looks so good against the Jets, and all I

971
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: can think of if you can get on that field

972
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: and stay in the pockets and get those quick passes

973
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: goal honestly, like starting off kind of what they did

974
00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 1: last week with Allen, those quick passes, get him on,

975
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: get some progress moving up the field. Our defense is phenomenal.

976
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: We just got to keep those uh turnovers in our

977
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: in our favor. Kevin, thanks for checking in. I get

978
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: that you know you're interested in uh Matt Berkeley, but

979
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: you know I want to see him win. Yeah, I

980
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: miss winter and win. And that's that's what they are too.

981
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: They they're gonna do what gives him the best chance

982
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: to win. And if it means Matt I mean, if

983
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 1: it means Betton Berkley, they'll do it. If it means

984
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, even on a short week where he didn't

985
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: practice much or is limited in practice, they'll do that too.

986
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: They'll assess all of this stuff and go from there.

987
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: So it'll be, uh, we'll have to wait until Sunday

988
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: to find out. It looks like just after practice. I

989
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 1: guess this is right that they're still saying he's still

990
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol. So we'll see. Yeah, he remains in

991
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol, has been reported after practice. That's what

992
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,520

1011
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: pm at Nissan Stadium. The Bills ranking the top ten

1012
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: in the league in both offense and defense. They are

1013
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: ninth on offense, second and defense, one of only three

1014
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: teams in the league, joining the Cowboys in the forty

1015
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: nine ers with top ten offensive and defensive rankings. Bills

1016
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: have a vacancy on the roster, with the news yesterday

1017
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: that they released offensive tackle Connor McDermott. He'd been with

1018
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: the club the last three season, appearing in eight games.

1019
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: The Bills with a fifty two man roster right now,

1020
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: that may change by tomorrow afternoon. Tennessee Titan's injury report

1021
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: will be interesting, especially concerning Cameron Wake the pass rush

1022
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: specialist former Dolphin, hasn't practiced all week with his hamstring. Also,

1023
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: running back David Flewellen, the lock Court native, has not practiced.

1024
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,959
Speaker 1: He's got a knee. Sam Donald says he is ready,

1025
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: but he will not return for the Jets this week.

1026
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: According to head coach Adam Gaates, Luke Falk will start

1027
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: for the second straight game when the Jets played the

1028
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles Sunday. Donald has not played since Week one,

1029
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: when he went against the Bills. He was diagnosed with

1030
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: mono nucleosis about a week after that, not clear to

1031
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: play after undergoing tests last night. Sequon Barkley, the Giant,

1032
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: says he feels good after a second straight day of

1033
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: running and got to open up and cut a little

1034
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: bit more. But he is listed officially on the Giants

1035
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: Hindi report yesterday, is not practicing. The Giants haven't ruled

1036
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: him out for the game against the Vikings on Sunday.

1037
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: But they haven't ruled him in either. A wild game

1038
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: last night Thursday Night Football, the Seattle Seahawks held down

1039
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: for a thirty twenty nine win over the Rams. Russell Wilson,

1040
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: You're perfect in that game. Four touchdowns to four different receivers,

1041
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: and the Savers opened their fiftieth season with a win

1042
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh last night. You'd be football home tomorrow three

1043
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: thirty pm against Ohio University. That's the update from One

1053
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: game and see why don't you get a start? You've

1054
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: got some questions about the Tennessee. Yeah, we don't know

1055
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: who's gonna play quarterback for the Bills. So I was

1056
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: gonna say, let's just start by talking about whoever the

1057
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: quarterback is for the Buffalo Bills, who they're gonna play

1058
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans. It looks like a team that,

1059
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: like Buffalo, leans on that defense. They sure do. And

1060
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, we were joking around in our matchup room

1061
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: this week that this could be a pictures duel. But

1062
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee has a really good defense. One thing that Dean P's,

1063
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator, is really good at and you'll see

1064
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: it this week regardless of who the quarterback is is

1065
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: he's really good at disguising his looks with both his

1066
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: fronts and his coverages and a lot of late movement

1067
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: just before or right at the snap, and that presents

1068
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: problems not only for young quarterbacks like Josh Allen, but

1069
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: I've seen him cause problems for veteran quarterback So that's

1070
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: something that really needs to be taken into account in

1071
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: this week of preparation by whoever is going to be

1072
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: under center for the Bills. What's the best way to

1073
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: combat late snap move is it go no huddle and

1074
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: go up tempo to not let them get deep into

1075
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: the snap count and move late. I think you can

1076
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: do some of that. The one thing you have to

1077
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: be aware of, too, is what they like to do

1078
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: when they do a lot of late movement. One thing

1079
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: that does stand out to me anyway, and I'm certainly

1080
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: not studying it in the detail that coaches do where

1081
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: there's a much larger staff, but I think when they

1082
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: do a lot of late movement, one coverage that they

1083
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: get to a lot is covered two. Now they often

1084
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: get to with different people in different positions, not your

1085
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: typical cover two with the two corners outside and the

1086
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: two safeties deep and usually a linebacker as the middle

1087
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: hole defender. They might have different people in different spots,

1088
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: but it's still covered two, and that seems to be

1089
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: one of their sort of default coverages when they do

1090
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: a lot of movements. So you have to be aware

1091
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: of that understand what they try to do when they

1092
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: move around a lot. Greg, I know the Titans don't

1093
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: have the Patriots personnel on defense, but Mike Vrabel, of

1094
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: course as their head coach, will their defense look at

1095
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: all of remind us of all of what the Bill

1096
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: saw last week from New England at times, But New

1097
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: England is a very man based defense. New England does

1098
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: not play a lot his own. The one area in

1099
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: which you'll see a lot of that is similar is

1100
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: what I call front multiplicity, because I think New England,

1101
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: to me, the best way I've always felt to describe

1102
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: New England's defense is its front multiplicity and coverage consistency.

1103
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: New England is a very man based coverage defense. I

1104
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: think that Dean P's does a lot of front multiplicity

1105
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: with different looks, different alignments, different people in those places,

1106
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: but I think he's a little more multiple coverage wise.

1107
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: Their Tennessee is not just solely a man based coverage team.

1108
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: How good is Buffalo's run game? They had some pretty

1109
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: good success against the Patriots. He sure did, and no

1110
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: matter who's the quarterback this week, they will have to

1111
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: try to make that work. You know, Frank Gore still

1112
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: amazes me. His vision, his patience, his ability to get

1113
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: through small creases at the point of attack. He still

1114
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: does the same thing he did ten years ago. Steve,

1115
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's obviously he's not quite as explosive. He

1116
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: was never truly explosive in terms of being a four

1117
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: four runaway from the defense guy. But just his his

1118
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: great understanding of what he's seeing, how he can react

1119
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: to it so quickly, and and what as I said,

1120
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: what's always amazed me about Frank Gore is just that

1121
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: ability to get through those really small creases, which you

1122
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: have to do in the NFL because rarely do you

1123
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: find geeping holes. Greg the Bill's running game has played

1124
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: two games, and who knows maybe a third coming up

1125
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: here without Devin Singletary, what do they miss when he's

1126
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 1: not in the lineup? And maybe what does their rushing

1127
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: attack miss? With Gore and t J yelden explosiveness, I

1128
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: think Singletary gives him a little more juice. I think

1129
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: he's the kind of back that can hit it and

1130
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: take it to the house. You know, one thing you

1131
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: won't see much with Gore, which you saw with Singletary

1132
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: was the outside runs. We saw with Singletary, that stay

1133
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: pole run where they often pulled the center and the

1134
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: guard and they get outside. It almost was like a

1135
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: pin pole concept where you pull the inside offensive lineman

1136
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: and then you kind of pin players inside with your

1137
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: outside blockers. So that concept you really don't see with

1138
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: Gore because he's not that kind of runner. But they're

1139
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: missing that with Singletary, where he can get to the

1140
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: edge and at flanked the defense or cut inside of

1141
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: the defense and burst. You know, they don't quite have

1142
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: that with Gore. As good as Gore is. One of

1143
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: the things we're gonna flip side to the ball now.

1144
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: Talk about Tennessee's offense. Marcus Mariotte's the only quarterback who

1145
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: has not thrown an interception. He's fumbled a few times,

1146
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: but they haven't lost any of them. Talk to us

1147
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: about where Marcus Mariote is in his game, Well, I

1148
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: think Marcus Mariot is a week to week player at

1149
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 1: this point. Their pass game needs to be highly schemed

1150
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: to be effective. I think they're really good when they

1151
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: work off their run game. He's one of the best

1152
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: play action quarterbacks in the league. Numbers why and the

1153
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: kind of player you're looking at right now is exactly

1154
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: what they need to do. You know, this was a

1155
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: play out of a straight eye formation, and this is

1156
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that they do and they have

1157
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 1: to do to be effective. So you have quick rhythm throws.

1158
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: Then they'll take shot play attempts where they try to

1159
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,359
Speaker 1: get the ball deeper down the field and he's kind

1160
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: of week to week with his ball placement, his accuracy,

1161
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 1: and his consistency as a passer does have the movement ability.

1162
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: You always have to be aware of that. But I

1163
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: think the Bill's defense is really, really good, and I'd

1164
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: be surprised. I know that Tennessee's at home, but I'd

1165
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 1: be surprised if Tennessee were to put up big yards

1166
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: and big points against Buffalo's defense. If they do, greg

1167
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: it might come from the running back, right, Derrick Henry.

1168
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: I told Steve this morning we were talking. I see

1169
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: he's like to me, it looks like a poor man

1170
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley. You're not nearly as quick or explosive, but man,

1171
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: he's a big load. He's a big man to bring down.

1172
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 1: Try to bring down. Yeah, he's a big man. He's

1173
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: not Saquon Barkley though, Murph. I mean, Henry is one

1174
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: of those guys that he's an odd runner for his

1175
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: size because he's not purely powerful. He's sort of is

1176
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: momentum powerful. He needs to build up some speed to

1177
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: be powerful, but he can get to the edge. He

1178
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: has very good speed for a man that size. He

1179
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: doesn't have quick feed and confine space, So he's not

1180
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: one of those backs that is laterally agile in a

1181
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 1: small area. So he doesn't necessarily work between the tackles

1182
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: as well as you might think given the fact that

1183
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: he's close to two hundred and fifty pounds. But if

1184
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 1: you if he can hit a gap or hit a

1185
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: seam in the run game, he can get from zero

1186
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: to sixty and a heartbeat, and he is close to

1187
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: sixty three, so he can stride it out. They get

1188
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: Taylor to one back on their offensive line, how does

1189
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: that help him? Big time? Because they did not have

1190
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: much athleticism on their offensive line at all, particularly at

1191
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: the tackle position with Jack Conklin at right tackle and

1192
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly at left tackle. Lojan is one of the

1193
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: most lad left tackles in the league. You I wouldn't

1194
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: be surprised to see them get him on the perimeter,

1195
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: pull him the same kind of pin pull run game

1196
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: that I spoke about a moment ago with Devin Singletary.

1197
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: They'll do it a little differently. They'll pull the wan,

1198
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: get him on the edge. Really athletic player and much

1199
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: better in past protection because of his feet on the line.

1200
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: With Greg Cosal, Executive producer analyst of NFL Matchup on

1201
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: as Men, longtime senior producer at NFL Films. Hey, I

1202
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: want to ask you just about the Buffalo defense. So

1203
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: I'll go up against some of those Tennessee Titans, and

1204
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: in particular guy who Matt Milano, now in his third year,

1205
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: who's coming off the injury, but he seems to be

1206
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: flying all over the field, and he had a couple

1207
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: of open field tackles this past Sunday. They really got

1208
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: my attention. I think he's taken another step forward, Greg,

1209
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: and I'm interested in what you think. I love Matt

1210
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: Milano and I think both of their inside stack backers

1211
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: have taken big steps forward this year, both Tremaine Enemands

1212
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: and Matt Milano. Matt Milano to me, is a sideline

1213
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: to sideline range player. He covers tight ends. He does

1214
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: that well. I know he got beat by White on

1215
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: the wheel route this week, but it was not bad coverage.

1216
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: It was just a great throw. So he can cover

1217
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: backs and tight ends. As I said, plays with great range,

1218
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: excellent play speed. I think they're two inside backers are

1219
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: are emerging as as as good a duo as there

1220
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: is in the league. And I really enjoy watching the defense.

1221
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 1: It's such a fundamentally sound defense. They have a great

1222
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: feel for what the opponent does. I love the way

1223
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: they jumped all the routes by the Patriots this week,

1224
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: not giving up those shorter quick throws. But Milano is

1225
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right, Murph, He's he's He's an

1226
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: improving player and a fun player to watch. How good?

1227
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: How good is Buffalo's front four, front eight, the guys

1228
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: they rotate through as a group. I know they're pretty

1229
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: salty because they're playing really good defense. They're stopping the run,

1230
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: but they're not getting any sacks, and they batted down

1231
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: some balls. What's your assessment of the front four for Buffalo.

1232
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a solid group. I think what they're

1233
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: missing is just what you said, Steve. They're seeing a

1234
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: really good pass rush. I think Jerry Use can still

1235
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: do that. At times. They're looking for another pass rusher

1236
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: to go along with us, and I think that's one

1237
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: area where they can struggle little bit. Although I thought

1238
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: they did get some good pressure on Brady and Brady

1239
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: very uncharacteristically in this game started to sort of feel

1240
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: pressure and perceive pressure that was not there, and they

1241
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: definitely got him off his game. But if you just

1242
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: look at the individual players, they don't have another guy

1243
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: besides Jerry Us that you'll look at and say that

1244
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: guy can really rush the quarterback. I think that's one

1245
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: reason why Daryl Johnson's getting a lot of snaps. They

1246
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: want to see if he can become that guy. And

1247
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: he's had some good snaps. Not enough to say, hey,

1248
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: I think he can do it, but he's had some

1249
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: good snaps in the first quarter of the season. Hey, Greg,

1250
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: let me get around the league a little bit with

1251
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: you here and start with last night's game, Thursday night's game.

1252
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,959
Speaker 1: And we've been at the internal discussion in our little

1253
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: group here today about Russell Wilson. It's hard to say

1254
00:59:54,720 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: he is underappreciated or undervalued, but he's downright might be

1255
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: one of the top one, two or three quarterbacks in

1256
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: the game right now, especially the way he played last night. Huh. Well,

1257
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: They're a very fascinating team to me for this reason.

1258
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: They play offense as if Russell Wilson is kind of

1259
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: a complimentary piece. They're a run based team. They run

1260
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: the ball at times more than they throw it. This

1261
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: is not a team based on Russell Wilson. Yet he

1262
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: obviously is a very very good player and has great

1263
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: secondary action playmaking ability. But their offense is not built

1264
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: around Russell Wilson. Their offense is built around the run game.

1265
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: So it's a fascinating economy there with a quarterback that

1266
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much everybody would say, if not top

1267
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: two or three, certainly top five, and yet they don't

1268
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: play as if he's that guy. They play as if

1269
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: he's just a complimentary piece, you know, fully dimensional offense

1270
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: that starts with the run game. I want to ask

1271
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: you about the New England Patriots. They've played the entire

1272
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: month without the first month in a long time without

1273
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, and they get Ben Watson back into the lineup.

1274
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: They've played more plays without a tight end than a

1275
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: lot of teams in the National Football League. They get

1276
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: Ben Watson back in the lineup. Does that just get

1277
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,919
Speaker 1: make them? Give them one more tool in the toolboxer

1278
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: is could this change them in a significant way? I

1279
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: imagine Watson depending on you know, where he stands from

1280
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: a conditioning standpoint, and all that will get snaps. He's

1281
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 1: still a very good receiver, has been throughout his career,

1282
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I've always been a pretty high level athlete for a

1283
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: tight end. But you know, they're one of those week

1284
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: two week teams. And again this week they play at

1285
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Washington and coming off the game against the Bills, even

1286
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: though it was a win with our offense was not

1287
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: very good at all. You know, it wouldn't surprise me

1288
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: this week if you'll look at one of those Patriot wins.

1289
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: And it's always hard to know, you know, Steve, if

1290
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: you're a fantasy player, it's always hard to know who's

1291
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: going to be the guy for the Patriots any given week. Yeah,

1292
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: Greig coach sal is our guests. He is executive producer

1293
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: analyst of NFL Matchup on ESPN. He's longtime senior producer

1294
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: at NFL Films. I want to ask you about the

1295
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland game at San Francis, which is, yeah, Monday Night's game.

1296
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: You know, Cleveland's only two and two, but I think

1297
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Moore is expected from them, and I think that's will

1298
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: be a pretty good test for the Browns to go

1299
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: on the road and play an unbeaten San Francisco team. Well,

1300
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: what I'm really curious to see where the Browns is.

1301
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't feel through four games they've established any kind

1302
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: of true offensive identity. And you know, a lot of

1303
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: people and I probably put myself in that category, believe

1304
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 1: that despite having Baker may feel that their offense should

1305
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: really work through Nick Chubb as the starting point and

1306
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: the foundation, much in the same way that the Seahawks

1307
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: work through Chris Carson as the starting point in the foundation.

1308
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: And maybe they'll move in that direction off of last

1309
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: week when Chubb looked very good and had some big runs.

1310
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's easy to get caught up,

1311
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: and maybe the coaching staff does this as well. In

1312
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: Baker may feel very talented guy, very charismatic guy, but

1313
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: I think maybe for stability and develop some continuity with

1314
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: their offense on a week to week basis, maybe the

1315
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: run game with Nick Chubb should be the foundation. I

1316
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: want to ask you about another a couple of NFC

1317
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: North teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Ravens. Steelers kind

1318
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: of got it on track against the Cincinnati Bengals last week.

1319
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Can they continue to run the football on a team

1320
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: like the Ravens. Well, the Ravens last week, Steve and

1321
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: it was very surprising given their pedigree in their history,

1322
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: But they made more assignment and mistakes on defense than

1323
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: I can recall seeing in a while. To me, that

1324
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: game was more about the Ravens making mistakes than the

1325
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: Browns looking really good. And then you get to Mason

1326
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: Rudolph watching that tape and again they played the Bengals

1327
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: and the Bengals could not move the ball at all.

1328
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: But the Steelers kept things incredibly basic for Rudolph. They

1329
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: had RPO concepts, jet action passes, shovel pass concepts, screens,

1330
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: one red flat throws, off foot action. They really asked

1331
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: him to do very very little. Now, they expanded just

1332
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: a touch in the second half because the score allowed

1333
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: them to. So we'll see in this game they're going

1334
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: to have to stop the Ravens run games first and foremost,

1335
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: because the Ravens lead the NFL and rushing and there's

1336
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson's a meaningful part of that. Hey, Greg,

1337
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you about a Sunday one PM game

1338
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: two and two Carolina home against two and two Jacksonville

1339
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: and the Jags have won a couple in a row

1340
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: with the rookie Gardner Minshew. He's a great story of

1341
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: fun story and it looks to me from and I

1342
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 1: watched it over again this week the Jacksonville went over Tennessee.

1343
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: This guy can play a little bit canny Gardner Minshew,

1344
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: even as a rookie. Yeah, oh yeah. He's very accurate,

1345
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: has a nice feel for the past game, a refined

1346
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: sense of timing and anticipation. Playing against a Carolina team

1347
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: that is a little bit under the radar. They're tied

1348
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: with New England for the most sacks in the NFL.

1349
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: They've sort of rebuilt their d line with speed and quickness,

1350
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: lighter players who can rush the quarterback. They still have

1351
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Luke kik Lei Shack Thompson a linebacker, but Minshew has

1352
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: shown the ability to be efficient with instructure and deceptive

1353
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: with outside of structure, making the kinds of secondary action

1354
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: plays that probably not a lot of people expected. And

1355
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: I have great, great respect for John d. Philippo, who's

1356
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator down there, and they do some really

1357
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 1: good things, particularly in the red zone. Jaguards defense just

1358
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: took a hint. We just found out that cornerback Jalen

1359
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Ramsey is out against Carolina with his back injury. That

1360
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: won't help him no, And in fact, it's funny you

1361
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: say that because last week against Denver, the Broncos went

1362
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: after his replacement, Trey Herndon, and they ended up trying

1363
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: to move Herndon around to try to ease the pain,

1364
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: but Denver kept finding him and Herndon had a really

1365
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: tough day. Now. I don't know if he'll be the

1366
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: guy again because he had a tough week, but if

1367
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: he is, I would imagine that Carolina will look for

1368
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: him as well. I got one last question about another team,

1369
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: NFC North. What's wrong with a Vikings offense? That's a

1370
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: tough question to answer. I think they're a team that

1371
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: wants to be totally run based and then have the

1372
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: quarterback just be a complimentary piece. The problem is you

1373
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: can't play that way in every game. Kirk Cousins has

1374
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: missed a number of things. And when I say missed,

1375
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean not throwing the ball. They've set up some

1376
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: shot plays over these first four games and he just

1377
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: hasn't thrown the ball, and only he can tell you

1378
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: why he hasn't. But as good as Dalvin Cook has been,

1379
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: you can't play like that every week. Your quarterback, as

1380
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, Steve, is going to have to make throws

1381
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: and he's going to have to make some tough throws

1382
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: at times as well. And right now Cousins has struggled

1383
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: on shot plays and he struggled on third down, so

1384
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: he'll have to play better. Dal's try to stay with

1385
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: the run game because I think that's what Mike Zimmer

1386
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: wants to do. And just to wrap it up with

1387
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: you great to get back to the Bills in Tennessee.

1388
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: And I think you and I are similar minds on this.

1389
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: I just I think the Bills defense is excellent now

1390
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: it's only four games in, even in defeat, they were

1391
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: great last week. So it's just hard for me to

1392
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: envision Tennessee being able to move the ball consistently against

1393
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: what appears to be a very very good Buffalo defense. Agree, Murph,

1394
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. They're one of my most favorite

1395
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: defenses to watch. I mean, I know Sean, I know

1396
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier. I think these guys, they've been around the league,

1397
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: they're really smart. You know. That's why I was joking

1398
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: at the beginning and said we could have a pictures

1399
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: duel here because I think Tennessee's defense is really good too,

1400
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: and you know, barring special teams plays or bad turnovers.

1401
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: You can never predict those. I can't imagine a lot

1402
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: of offensive points being scored in this game. Yep, I agree,

1403
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: agree with you. Thanks Greg, you have a great weekend.

1404
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week. All right, guys, appreciate it. Thanks.

1405
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: Becco Sell is executive producer analyst of NFL Matchup. You

1406
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: can catch it this weekend on ESPN, senior producer at

1407
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: NFL Films. And I think he's right now. And if

1408
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: you're a fan of offensive football, this might not be

1409
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: your game this Sunday. Look these two teams. The Bills

1410
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: give up like fifteen point eight points per game and

1411
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,439
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans give up like fifteen point five points

1412
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: per game, And it'll be somewhere in that neighborhood I

1413
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: think this week. I think, regardless who's playing quarterback for

1414
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: the Bills, and we don't know who it is yet,

1415
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: regardless of who it is, they will look at a

1416
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee a talented, well coached, well drilled, accomplished Tennessee defense.

1417
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: It's not going to be easy against these guys. Now.

1418
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:06,959
Speaker 1: This is not going to be like last night's twenty

1419
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: nine to thirty game with the Seahawks. And Rams. It's

1420
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,919
Speaker 1: just not gonna be the we and the Bills fans

1421
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: know this, that they've seen this team. They hold the

1422
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:19,680
Speaker 1: other team with a small scoreboard and then they do

1423
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: just enough offensively to win the football game. And it

1424
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,600
Speaker 1: comes down to when in games where they struggle, the

1425
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 1: Bills turn it over. And it's really that simple a recipe.

1426
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:33,719
Speaker 1: You'd love to see Josh Allen just throw the thing away,

1427
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: let By Orchest punt it. And of course then they

1428
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: got to play better special teams than they did a

1429
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: week ago. But with Andre Roberts back there, he's they're

1430
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,560
Speaker 1: leading the league and kickoff returns or tops in the

1431
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: league and kioff returns, they've got a chance to flip

1432
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: the field. Play the fuel position game. And it's not

1433
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: very it's not very exciting, it's not really flashy, but

1434
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, field goals are gonna win games for this

1435
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: team this year until they figure out how to score

1436
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: points consistently. But I think that's that's what this game

1437
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 1: looks like to me. Coming down. I wrote a piece

1438
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: that's up on Buffalo bills dot com look at looking

1439
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: ahead at the weekend Bills games and the Bills game

1440
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: and the rest of the NFL. You know what, the

1441
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: most actually compelling game of the weekend that I found,

1442
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: Steve was the game in London, Oakland and the Bears.

1443
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: And not because of those teams, because of the venue

1444
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: Hottenham Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, sixty five thousand seats. They the

1445
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: league looks at that place. That stadium is their home

1446
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 1: basically for NFL football in the United Kingdom. Moving forward,

1447
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: and my only regret is that's a one o'clock kickoff Sunday.

1448
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: I'd like when they had those, you know, ten am

1449
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: kickoffs in London. One o'clock kickoffs Sunday. I'd like to

1450
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:43,839
Speaker 1: see them all day football, not just in the afternoon

1451
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: at one am. Yeah, all day at least accommodating my

1452
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: part with you, I'm with you totally. I like it.

1453
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: Let's put it on. Let's move Thursday night to Sunday

1454
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: morning or there you are whatever, you know, Saturday night

1455
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: you can't do a Saturday night because of college football.

1456
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, make it all day. Hey, our poll question today,

1458
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,120

1459
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 1: he play? Does he not? Is it Matt Barkley, does

1460
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: he play or not? Or maybe it's Marcus Mariota. We

1461
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: just talked with Great Cosell about that. Let us know

1475
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: for the weekend in the worst one or maybe the

1476
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: best way. Yeah, you know, I mean a couple of updates.

1477
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:08,759
Speaker 1: Chris Brown reporting this based on Sean mcdermot's post practice comments.

1478
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Coach McDermot said Josh Allen remains in concussion protocol, but

1479
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 1: said if Josh clears protocol before Sunday's game, he would

1480
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 1: be comfortable with starting him against the Titans. Think about

1481
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: that a little bit. There's other news you just think

1482
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: about that. You want to think about that. Think about that.

1483
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: Dean Marlowe Pat DeMarco both out of their red non

1484
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: contact jerseys today. Don't know if they're still in a

1485
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:31,560
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Tye and Secki would look like he was

1486
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: not practicing again today and that would make a whole

1487
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,679
Speaker 1: week for him if he does not practice. The official

1488
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: injury report comes out at some point the safton and

1489
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: hopefully before where you go off the year three. But

1490
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 1: McDermot says, johsh Allen still in protocol. But if he

1491
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: clears protocol before Sunday's game, he'd be comfortable. McDermott will

1492
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 1: be comfortable starting him against the Titans. That's the message

1493
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: they want the Titans to hear. Steve no, no, right

1494
01:11:56,439 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: they do. That message being delivered right to Nashville. We yeah, well, okay,

1495
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: if Josh he's up, Josh, he's going yep. Right, Basically,

1496
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: he clears protocol, McDermot said he'd be well, he said

1497
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,680
Speaker 1: that right, he'd be comfortable starting him. So if he

1498
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,759
Speaker 1: clears protocol, he's just start. If he clears, he clears protocol,

1499
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 1: which he has not done yet. Right, all we know?

1500
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: What do you think which quarterback will have the biggest

1501
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: impact in Sunday's game? That is our Twitter poll um,

1502
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good one. Let's let me

1503
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: check the numbers on No. I do a little similar,

1504
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: a little similar to yesterday's Twitter pole. Which quarterback would

1505
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact in Sunday's game in Nashville? What

1506
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: do you think? Is it Josh Allen? Well, fifty eight

1507
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 1: percent of you say yes, he's the guy, Twenty seven

1508
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: percent of you say Matt Barkley will have the biggest

1509
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 1: impact on the game. Fifteen percent say Marcus Mariota. I

1510
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: believe it's Mariota. We kind of articulated this with the

1511
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Great Coast Ell a minute ago, because I believe the

1512
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: Titans are going to struggle to do anything meaningful on

1513
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: offense against his Buffalo defense. What are the chances of

1514
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: the fourteen percent flex exactly that sentiment? They don't think

1515
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: Mark Mariota is good enough to affect this game. I

1516
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 1: think all of that fourteen percent is thinking that, and

1517
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: I think it should be more than the all of

1518
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: the eighty six percent other than that, right, yeah, yeah,

1519
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: I think both Matt Barkley and Josh Allen voters are

1520
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,560
Speaker 1: just don't think Marcus Mariota can do enough offensively to

1521
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,640
Speaker 1: win the game. But I'll tell you what I mean,

1522
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 1: think about it. This is not a Buffalo offense that

1523
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: has knocked it out of the park. They scored twenty

1524
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 1: eight points against the or twenty seven point, twenty eight

1525
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: points against the Giants, but sixteen against the Jets, twenty

1526
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 1: one seventeen right against Bengal, twenty one seventeen against the Bengals.

1527
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean that the Bills are

1528
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 1: no offensive juggernaut either, even if with Josh Allen playing

1529
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 1: so and he's coming off his worst, his worst outing

1530
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: of the year, so I don't know. Well, yeah, it's

1531
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: got all the earmarks of a ten seven ball game. Um,

1532
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: let's note do you think give us a call on

1533
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: that question? Which quarterback has the most to say about

1534
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: the outcome? Let's go to George Eat in New York.

1535
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: Hello George walking into the show. Hello, first time color

1536
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: Great Georgians, suck you. I think the most important quarterback

1537
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 1: is the one that won't play, and that should be

1538
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen because I think this team's gonna rail you

1539
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: around Berkeley. And I'd rather have Aillen out for one

1540
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: game and possibly even lose this game, than to lose

1541
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: him for five six games. You know, look how long

1542
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris was out. I know he had a history

1543
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 1: or onenot, but another concussion for Josh could be disaster.

1544
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: And another point is this offense better get something going

1545
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 1: soon this year or next year, because we're gonna lose

1546
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 1: a lot of good players. Dude of money, and I

1547
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: just pray that it doesn't happen again. One side or

1548
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: the ball is so good, but the other side can't

1549
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: finish games. So let's just keep our fingers cross and

1550
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: Josh take a day off. You know, well, no, if

1551
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 1: he's healthy, and McDermott I don't agree with that part

1552
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: of it. If he's healthy, I want him to play.

1553
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 1: I think he gives them the best chance to win,

1554
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: not giving him a day off if he's cleared from

1555
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: protocol and healthy to go. And I know the risk

1556
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,560
Speaker 1: is involved with a second concussion, but that has not

1557
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: really been an issue. I don't think for Josh Allen

1558
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 1: his first concussion in the NFL, this one. I agree.

1559
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with this concussion protocol that from what

1560
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: they know now, and I guess there's a way a

1561
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: lot more than they did when I played a couple

1562
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: of decades ago, the reason they put the protocols in

1563
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 1: place now the way it is, is that it keeps

1564
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 1: players from coming back too soon, which means if they

1565
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: come back too soon, they are more susceptible to getting

1566
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: a concussion the next time. It was a common thing

1567
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: to happen back in my day where a guy would

1568
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:01,560
Speaker 1: start to feel okay, and while the physical symptoms and

1569
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: the way he felt were pretty normal, the subconscious of

1570
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, the brain waves or whatever,

1571
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 1: we're not normal. The body itself had not completely healed

1572
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 1: from the concussion and it was not ready to take

1573
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: a full you know, a full contact the way it

1574
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: would be if it was right. So the protocols went

1575
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: into place so that guys would be completely healthy, even

1576
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: with an electronic with the baselines that they take when

1577
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: the guy is healthy, they have to get all the

1578
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: way back to that before they allow him to come

1579
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 1: back on the field. So therefore, if Josh does come back,

1580
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: he's not coming back too early. The only thing he

1581
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: would be risking would be this murph. He would be

1582
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 1: come back, he wouldn't be completely prepared to play and

1583
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: might play poorly as a result of it. And if

1584
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: he plays poorly as a result of it, or the

1585
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: other team gets some shots on him, maybe because he

1586
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,679
Speaker 1: is playing poorly because he's unprepared, he does take another

1587
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: shot and gets injured in another way. That's the risk. Well,

1588
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: but that's a risk that's there all the time. And yet, Yeah,

1589
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 1: a coach says he's comfortable playing him if he clears protocol,

1590
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: which would indicate to me that Sean McDermott is okay

1591
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: with the number of reps. This is your question from

1592
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: an hour or so ago, the number of reps he's had,

1593
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 1: how he's looked in handling those reps. Right, If Sean

1594
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: McDermott says he's comfortable and let me look at it again,

1595
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: if Josh clears protocol before Sunday's game, he'd be comfortable

1596
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: with starting him against the Titans. It doesn't indicate that McDermott,

1597
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,759
Speaker 1: who has watched the practices, we haven't. McDermott feels like, Okay,

1598
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: I've seen enough. He'll be all right as long as

1599
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: he's out of protocol. No, right, absolutely, I mean he's

1600
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: the guy that knows better than anybody else, and he'll

1601
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 1: knows what I'm making the call. Yeah, Plus he'll get

1602
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: he's not he's making the call. But he's gonna talk

1603
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: to Brian day Ball. He's gonna talk to Ken Dorsey,

1604
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna talk to Josh Allen. He's gonna talk to

1605
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:49,719
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley. He's gonna talk to all you know, everybody,

1606
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: Bobby Johnson even about what they think about the offense

1607
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: and how what they can do and what they're thinking

1608
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: about doing and who and I don't know, being as though,

1609
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 1: being as so, this Tennessee defense is a big zone

1610
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: based defense in the back end may play to Josh's

1611
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: strength as a passer. So I think, man, he's really read.

1612
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:09,759
Speaker 1: This is a game where he could get back on track.

1613
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: This game plan is perfect for Josh. This is a

1614
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: game plan that he likes more so than he does

1615
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: the game plans they have to run against man coverage.

1616
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 1: Who knows they could be some of that in there

1617
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: as well. Either way, if they say he's out of

1618
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: the protocol. It's because he would be at no greater

1619
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: risk than he would be otherwise getting another concussion. He's

1620
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: called from Sam and Williamsville. Hell about Sam. Welcome to

1621
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: the show. Hey guys, how are you doing? Okay? Good? Yeah?

1622
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about the quarterback situation. If that's

1623
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: all right now we're not talking about that about all right? Well,

1624
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: I was thinking about comparing Tyrod Taylor to Josh Allen.

1625
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: And Tyrod Taylor was a type of quarterback who didn't

1626
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: turn over the ball a lot. He had a hard

1627
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: time throwing with the ball over the middle in the

1628
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 1: tight coverage. And it seems like Josh Allen is kind

1629
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,680
Speaker 1: of the opposite Josh Allen. He's he wants to do

1630
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: the deep ball. He wants to go and not short

1631
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,560
Speaker 1: throw that short pass over the middle and kind of

1632
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: run out and make the big play. And when a

1633
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,560
Speaker 1: quarterback is set in their ways, how hard is it

1634
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 1: for them to deep program? They're thinking because how I mean,

1635
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: Tyrod couldn't do it, He couldn't become that. Yeah, you know,

1636
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:29,640
Speaker 1: halfway between Tyrod Taylor and Josh Allen is seemingly the

1637
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: quarterback we need to have it's a really interesting question, Sam,

1638
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: and I think it strikes right at the essence of

1639
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: what NFL coaching is all about. And let's just talk.

1640
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: I'll leave Tyrod to the side here. But Steve, if

1641
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 1: you're looking at Josh Allen, if you're his coach, whether

1642
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: it's Ken Dorsey or you know, Brian Dable or Sean McDermot,

1643
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: you see, look at all this talent, look at that arm,

1644
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: look at his mobility, look at his athleticism, and look

1645
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: at all we have to do to get him ready

1646
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: to play. And you probably look at it like more

1647
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: than a one year project, right, You probably think I

1648
01:19:58,320 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: want to spend some time with this guy and coach

1649
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: him up. But I think it's a good question, sim

1650
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,679
Speaker 1: right goes to the heart of what these guys coaches

1651
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: do for a living. And I think there is a way,

1652
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: and there's a large measure and a large population of

1653
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: NFL coaches out there that truly believe they can get

1654
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: a guy to make decisions under duress in a game

1655
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:21,799
Speaker 1: that are different than the ones that he would make naturally.

1656
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: There's no question that that's their job. So yeah, you

1657
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 1: can do that. Certainly, if Josh was a ten year veteran.

1658
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: You know, I have to go backwards and start from

1659
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 1: that again. But I don't think Josh is at that point.

1660
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: He's learning a lot about football even as we speak.

1661
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 1: I mean, this is first going to be his first,

1662
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,719
Speaker 1: what sixteenth game, right, this will be his sixteenth start.

1663
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 1: So there's a ton of stuff that he needs to learn,

1664
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: and the way he learns it and what it means

1665
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: to him when he learns it does have an effect

1666
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 1: on the decisions he makes and will have him playing

1667
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback position much much differently than he did twelve

1668
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: months ago. So yeah, you can do it, but I

1669
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: agree with you, you need to start early in his career,

1670
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 1: which they have. I mean, they've gotten him from day one,

1671
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: and that's why it's important that he still gets the

1672
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: same voices this Brian Dable is still there. They're still

1673
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 1: working on the same things. They're still doing some things

1674
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: with him to work on what they have worked on,

1675
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: and they've probably ironed some things out and still have

1676
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: some other things to work on. But I think it's

1677
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: crucial the fact that he's still getting the same coaching

1678
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: A year later. Josh Allen remains in concussion protocol, but

1679
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,919
Speaker 1: ed coach Sean McDermott says, if he's out of protocol

1680
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: by Sunday, he'd be comfortable starting him. Which quarterback will

1681
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact on Sunday's game against the Titan

1682
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet. The tweet sheet brought

1683
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:38,600
Speaker 1: to you by Cargan Moving Systems, the official movers of

1684
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Do you have your tweet sheet? Don't

1685
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: have it in front? Here? It is got it for

1686
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: This is from Darrell Darrel FT twenty nine. It has

1687
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 1: to be Josh Allen if he plays. It's the kind

1688
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: of double edged sword as well, because good Josh should

1689
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: be able to make enough plays on offense to get

1690
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: a win, but bad Josh can almost single handedly gift

1691
01:21:56,400 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: wrap the win for the Titans. See the Patriots game. Also,

1692
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 1: Brian Greer says, just call me Nostre Damas, because I

1693
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: can see it now. Barkley will start, have a huge game,

1694
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: thirty plus points. Then come Monday we will be celebrating

1695
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: the win, but everybody will be calling in saying he

1696
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 1: should start. Hopefully Josh plays so we don't have to

1697
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 1: hear this. I don't know if I agree with that.

1698
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: Nostrodams I don't think I give Bills fans a little

1699
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: more credit than that, because we haven't heard much of

1700
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: any of that this week. I think Bills fans know

1701
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: what the I think they know what the deal is

1702
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. I think they accept him now. Maybe

1703
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: some didn't a couple of years ago, a year and

1704
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,640
Speaker 1: a half ago, but they accept him now as the

1705
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: quarterback of the future, the potential and likely as candidate

1706
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: for long term franchise quarterback here. And I think Bills fans, Steve,

1707
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 1: didn't hear what you say to this. Bills fans know

1708
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: that they've got a lot invested in them in Josh Allen,

1709
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: the Bills and the fans, and they need to invest

1710
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: more and that one start one bad game, even two

1711
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: if he somehowed does not play well again this week,

1712
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 1: putting two back to back, I think they look at

1713
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 1: it as a longer term project than that, and I

1714
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: give the fans a lot of credit for doing that. Yeah,

1715
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: I think everybody's on board with it. They know he's young,

1716
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: and even though we've seen other quarterbacks around the league

1717
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: come out and play extremely well with teams, everything's every

1718
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: guy's different, and Josh's we've seen Josh play extream a

1719
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:20,600
Speaker 1: much better in one game and one week to the

1720
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 1: next game, And we've seen him do things better one

1721
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: week as a compared to the week just before. I

1722
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: think he's still on that trajectory, certainly has a long

1723
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 1: way to go. But I think that that game last week,

1724
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: I think for me, that was his, no question, his

1725
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: worst outing of the season. But I think he felt

1726
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: there was some extra pressure on him, and he played

1727
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: like it, particularly in the early going, and I think

1728
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 1: he was he wanted that game a little work, and

1729
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, for a competitor like he is, I think

1730
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:49,880
Speaker 1: he wanted that game a little worse than he would

1731
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: be willing to admit. I don't think it was just

1732
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: another game, not just for him, but for any of

1733
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: those guys. And I think it showed a little bit

1734
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 1: in his performance. Yeah, I will acknowledge some of that,

1735
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 1: but I think his performance had a lot more to

1736
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: do with Patriots defense, what they were doing, what he saw,

1737
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: what he did not understand, what they were doing, what

1738
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 1: he had never seen before. I don't think he was

1739
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: necessarily jittery or out of sorts, but once they line

1740
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 1: up and line up, you know, four plays, four different

1741
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 1: looks for different lineups. I think that's what got him

1742
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: last week. And as Greg Cosell pointed out when he

1743
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: joined US earlier this hour, and not every team can

1744
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,839
Speaker 1: do that. And even with Mike Vrabel's New England background,

1745
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 1: they don't have the kind of people that New England has.

1746
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Tennessee and they probably don't have proficiency

1747
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 1: in that kind of defense. So I don't know. Look,

1748
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: I said it all week. I don't know if Josh,

1749
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:38,840
Speaker 1: we'll see a defense like that again until Christmas weekend,

1750
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 1: right when they play the Patriots again. I really believe that, Well,

1751
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,959
Speaker 1: this defense is going to be different but just as effective.

1752
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: In some ways. They're good, really yeah, Well they're allowing

1753
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: less than two touchdowns and they're they're allowing as few

1754
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: points as the Buffalo Bill's defense is, and the did

1755
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,759
Speaker 1: as good as New England's defense. Do you they're different?

1756
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: But I think this is affect affect different. Really yeah,

1757
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 1: They're there a zone defense in the back end, not

1758
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: a man defense, and New England does things completely differently

1759
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 1: than everybody else. I mean Tennessee, you know, doesn't play

1760
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:13,640
Speaker 1: defense like the Patriots now, but they are effective and

1761
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: I think I guess I think it's you know, I

1762
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 1: think this is a tough defense he's playing against. I

1763
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: don't know if they're a good as New England, but

1764
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think they can be as well. Yeah,

1765
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna be different. I don't know if they'll be

1766
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: as effective because New England is different and maybe that

1767
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 1: difference is what makes him effective. Word from Man, Yeah,

1768
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Word from Washington. They're gonna go with the

1769
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy at quarterback this week. Believe it or not.

1770
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: When they played the Patriots, there was talking to maybe

1771
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: the rookie Dayne Haskins would get to start. He will not,

1772
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: and case Keena as a foot injury. He took some

1773
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 1: first team snaps yesterday. They're going with Colt McCoy as

1774
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Washington is a disaster, and not just because

1775
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,719
Speaker 1: of Colt McCoy, but they're gonna get spanked by the Patriots,

1776
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: right They're gonna drop to Owen five. Boy, They're just

1777
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: awful and I don't have any much any sympathy for them,

1778
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Steve, or they're fans, all

1779
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 1: those lobbyists and people that are denizens of the swamp

1780
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 1: in Washington going to see Redskins game sensor. There were none.

1781
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:16,040
Speaker 1: There were non playoff years in Washington, DC where you

1782
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 1: couldn't get near that Bill. You know, they sold out

1783
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:22,799
Speaker 1: no matter what promo the playoffs, and now you nobody

1784
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 1: wants to go near the place. It's the stadium is neglected,

1785
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: the atmosphere and the organization seems dysfunctional. They've already they

1786
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 1: are already rumors coming out before this last game that

1787
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 1: if they didn't play well, John Jay Gruden was going

1788
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: to be fired. Um, it's just it's just not fun

1789
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: right now to be a fan of that team for

1790
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 1: all the wrong reasons, whether they winning games or not.

1791
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's just a really, really toxic atmosphere.

1792
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 1: It seems like from the outside looking in a breakcare.

1793
01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 1: We're coming back, but more come on back with us.

1804
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: got a bit of a problem. Starting offensive lineman Kevin

1805
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 1: pam Field. I think he's a guard. He is David Flewellen,

1806
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: the Lockport product, special team in primarily backup running back.

1807
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: He's not practicing today as well as for the Bills.

1808
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 1: Coach Sean mcdimbert said today, Josh Allen remains in concussion protocol,

1809
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 1: but he said if Josh clear protocol before Sunday's game,

1810
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 1: he would be comfortable with starting him against the Titans.

1811
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 1: I just gotta think about that. I want you to

1812
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,640
Speaker 1: think about that, Steve. I am, yes, you thought about it.

1813
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay awake and think about that tonight. Well,

1814
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't trouble you. I'm just trying to think of

1815
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: the ramifications. If you say that, you're basically saying we're

1816
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,799
Speaker 1: starting him if he clears protocol by four o'clock tomorrow.

1817
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,679
Speaker 1: He's yeah, he's gonna play right all vote, Yeah, there

1818
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: you go, but it's no guarantee. Did he clears protocol?

1819
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 1: So that's correct? Okay, I'm trying to This is ugly,

1820
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: just me thinking out loudly. And then you've got a

1821
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: guy you've got to have ready to play just in case.

1822
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 1: And who are you just in casing here, Matt Barkley

1823
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: or do you how you know? How good does Josh look?

1824
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: How confident are you that he's gonna clear You can't

1825
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,600
Speaker 1: be confident. You just had your center go out for

1826
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:55,799
Speaker 1: five weeks and on the cuspin you can be confident.

1827
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,600
Speaker 1: Maybe there's this it's a smoke screen from Sean McDermott. No,

1828
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 1: you can't do that. They got this inner not inner denominational.

1829
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: What is it? Independent, independent neuroscience guy who has to

1830
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 1: clear him right? Maybe he hasn't looked at him yet.

1831
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 1: Maybe they haven't. No, I mean for Sunday's getting the independent. Yeah,

1832
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 1: don't put so much. So much we don't know. It's

1833
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:26,760
Speaker 1: the story of my life. Joe, Joe and Tonawanda. Joe,

1834
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. You're on the air with us.

1835
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 1: High Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday about dropping that bomb.

1836
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,320
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to. I just feel differently every day. Okay,

1837
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: I got I think it's really gonna be a coin flip.

1838
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who plays. Uh. One thing we haven't

1839
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 1: mentioned is the crowd noise. Uh, I don't know it's Barkley.

1840
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 1: You're gonna be ready for that. Uh. We don't want

1841
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: early time out. Um. And the next thing is, uh,

1842
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: who is the uh Tennessee's tight end. Isn't he a

1843
01:29:55,640 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl player? Um? Yes, yeah, it's uh Lanny Walker,

1844
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 1: who's a very good player. You're correct, that's that's a

1845
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:08,559
Speaker 1: big threat. And uh, but I think, uh, I think

1846
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:10,680
Speaker 1: the key to a victory is Gore is going to

1847
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 1: come through again like usual, just outstanding. I love them.

1848
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:18,559
Speaker 1: Thank you. I think the Bills will probably well probably

1849
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: win by three. Thank you. Okay, thank you. It'll be

1850
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 1: a good win to get, by the way, Steve, you

1851
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean, we kind of yeah. I know

1852
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:27,000
Speaker 1: people going, you know a week ago, like and then

1853
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 1: you go to Tennessee and win, and then you can

1854
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 1: do this. This is if they win it, which I

1855
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 1: will pick them to win, it'll be a good win

1856
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: to get. I really believe that you know what I mean. Yeah, Um,

1857
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 1: even if you're in them, I'm not there anymore. Although

1858
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,799
Speaker 1: you know, our defense makes you think you can win anything,

1859
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: but I'm not there where. I think the Bills are

1860
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:49,640
Speaker 1: going to roll in there and roll their helmets out

1861
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 1: on the field and walk out there. I think this

1862
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 1: is there's gonna be. I think this game will be

1863
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,519
Speaker 1: in doubt late and both these teams have good reason

1864
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,479
Speaker 1: to think they're gonna win. But it is a game

1865
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: that if you want to be the team we think

1866
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:04,040
Speaker 1: you should be, you need to win. You know, if

1867
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 1: you're going to be a playoff. You know you're the

1868
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:08,760
Speaker 1: number one wildcard team right now because the last week's

1869
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 1: game and you got a two game lead on everybody

1870
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 1: else in the conference. Yeah, you should win this game, period,

1871
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 1: no if sands or butts, and and if you want

1872
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: to go that far, you should win it convincingly. So

1873
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 1: let's see it. You know, road or not okay. And

1874
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the crowd noise is. Yeah, the crowd

1875
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 1: noise is, you can they can handle it. In tennessee

1940
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:35,080

1942
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:41,519

1943
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 1: this point in my career, I don't really need to,

1944
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 1: but we have a young team and so you still

1945
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:46,640

1949
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it has a chance to it. So you

1950
01:34:58,120 --> 01:34:59,600
Speaker 1: want to be used to those elements a little bit.

1951
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. I always thought was just give me

1952
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 1: good condition to mar Yeah, that's hand, that's my thought.

1953
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 1: But I understand when you have a younger team, you

1954
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,160
Speaker 1: try to expose them to a little bit, so at

1955
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 1: least they're not shocked when they're out in it. We're

1956
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 1: with the Ranger. Alexander Bills linebacker joins us every Friday

1957
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:15,840
Speaker 1: at this time. We'll get his keys to the game.

1958
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 1: The lowdown coming up in a couple of minutes. Look,

1959
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:21,600
Speaker 1: four games in, it's pretty obvious people are aware of

1960
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:24,680
Speaker 1: the fact that this Buffalo defense is really solid, right

1961
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 1: and even in the loss against New England last week,

1962
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's about as good as defense as any

1963
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 1: team can play against one of, you know, one of

1964
01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks of all time, right and you know

1965
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:35,680
Speaker 1: we say that, and it still wasn't good enough. I mean,

1966
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:37,800
Speaker 1: obviously the you know, some of the points that came

1967
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 1: in special teams, there's nothing that we can do about it.

1968
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 1: But like their defense did, we have to figure out

1969
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 1: ways to take the ball away and even score and

1970
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 1: find another score, especially when we're not, you know, scoring

1971
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 1: a ton of points right now, we always need to

1972
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:52,639
Speaker 1: figure out a way to take that to another level.

1973
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 1: And that's what I feel like separates good defenses from

1974
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,799
Speaker 1: great defenses. If you just think about people that have dominated,

1975
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 1: when you think about the eighty five Bears or the

1976
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 1: Bears from last season, or think about Denver maybe four

1977
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:09,639
Speaker 1: or five years ago, or Seattle. Those guys were taking

1978
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:11,320
Speaker 1: the ball away and figuring out the way to score

1979
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: on top of dominating you physically. And so that's the

1980
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: next step I see in the progression of this defense,

1981
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 1: is being able to take the ball away and score,

1982
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 1: or you know, at least put our office where you

1983
01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: know you have a field goal or a touchdown and

1984
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 1: a couple of plays being on the goal line. I

1985
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,120
Speaker 1: guess I've often thought that takeaways you're a little bit

1986
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:31,320
Speaker 1: of function of luck though, right really, I mean when

1987
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 1: you think about interceptions, tips and overthrows. Maybe, but I

1988
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 1: think we have a mindset and you even see it

1989
01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:39,719
Speaker 1: around the league where people are going in tackling people

1990
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:42,800
Speaker 1: with the mindset of punching the football and kind of

1991
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:46,120
Speaker 1: tackling at the same time. And I think we need

1992
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:47,800
Speaker 1: to be able to do that at an even higher

1993
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,440
Speaker 1: level to get more balls on the ground, more opportunities.

1994
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 1: We had one with Jordan Poy, but it was on

1995
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 1: the sidelines, so we never had a chance to recover it. Um.

1996
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 1: So just being more mindful about it, and that's what

1997
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 1: it comes down to for a man to man because

1998
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 1: you may only get one or two opportunities to take

1999
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: advantage of a punch out and we have to be

2000
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:06,479
Speaker 1: able to do that. So the ah pound grill in

2001
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 1: the room is the quarterback thing. Josh is still on

2002
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:10,880
Speaker 1: that a concussion protoct or how much thought do you

2003
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: guys have to give that as a defense knowing you

2004
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 1: might have your backup quarterback on the other side, any

2005
01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 1: none at all? For us to standards the standard, um,

2006
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 1: and if we live up to the to the standard

2007
01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:24,800
Speaker 1: in our ear marks that we put in for each week,

2008
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: we'll always have a chance to win, regardless of who

2009
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback is. You know what that said. We have

2010
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 1: confidence in Matt Barkley anytime he's had a full week,

2011
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, we think about that Jets game last year.

2012
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:38,679
Speaker 1: He's able to come in and do some good things

2013
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 1: and so, um, it's all about complimentary football, including the

2014
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 1: special teams, which where we haven't played well either. So

2015
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,559
Speaker 1: it's gonna take all of us, um. You know, um,

2016
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 1: brother Matt or Josh is in there to go down

2017
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,720
Speaker 1: there and be a good Titans team. Do you give?

2018
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: Is there anything if Matt play, Barkley is gonna play,

2019
01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: is there this kind of thing, like you know what,

2020
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of extra rallying point to come through for

2021
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:02,479
Speaker 1: a guy like Matt. I don't know if it's extra.

2022
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean because Matt has been part of our team

2023
01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 1: and you know, he's played and I think I mentioned

2024
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:09,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the week when somebody who's asked me about it,

2025
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:13,040
Speaker 1: people gravitate towards Matt. So it's not like, oh, here

2026
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:15,559
Speaker 1: comes Matt. Let's we gotta rally around him and give

2027
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:17,879
Speaker 1: him all the support. I think guys is half confidence

2028
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:21,160
Speaker 1: in him. They see how he prepares, We practice against him,

2029
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:22,599
Speaker 1: and so we see the balls that he can make.

2030
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 1: Obviously he um, you know, Josh is our guy. But

2031
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 1: if he comes in there, guys aren't like, man, we

2032
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:31,439
Speaker 1: we don't have to really play lights out this. We

2033
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:33,880
Speaker 1: don't have that mentality at all. I haven't felt that

2034
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:36,120
Speaker 1: at all. You know, it's not even a year since

2035
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley arrived here to be a Buffalo Bill, and

2036
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned I had a brief conversation with Sean mcturmo

2037
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 1: today about how in that short time Barkley has become

2038
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 1: in some ways kind of a leader and moreover, he's

2039
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 1: kind of a it seems like from the outside looking in,

2040
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 1: he's like an important presidence in your locker room, just

2041
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:56,640
Speaker 1: always smiling, always friendly counselor to Josh Sethers. And I mean,

2042
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: obviously he's been around the league for a long time.

2043
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:00,599
Speaker 1: It's played behind some good quarterback act and has learned

2044
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 1: a lot of things from different coordinators that he's come

2045
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:06,800
Speaker 1: in contact with. But he's a high character guy, prepares well,

2046
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:08,880
Speaker 1: has the ability to play in this league. And I

2047
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 1: think he just relishes in this role. He knows he's

2048
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: not the guy, but that's not he doesn't walk around

2049
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:15,280
Speaker 1: like that. He prepares like he's gonna have a chance

2050
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 1: to start. And then also mentors. Josh helps Josh she

2051
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,479
Speaker 1: things on the sideline, you know, whether he makes a

2052
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 1: mistake or a great play. And then again, guys like

2053
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: myself and other guys in the locker room, you kind

2054
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 1: of gravitate toward him because he is he does have

2055
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 1: that natural leadership quality about himself because he is a quarterback.

2056
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:34,040
Speaker 1: What is your thought process if say you're on the

2057
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 1: other side, you're the Titans, and you're you play defense,

2058
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: so you can kind of route about an uncertainty at

2059
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: the other team's quarterback. I know you guys, you can't

2060
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 1: say listen, we're just can't get ready to play r really.

2061
01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:47,640
Speaker 1: But probably the biggest difference obviously between the two. You

2062
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 1: would say what Josh armswith is crazy, but um, just

2063
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:56,560
Speaker 1: the mobility of what Josh brings with his legs and

2064
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,640
Speaker 1: and where Matt maybe more in the pocket. And so

2065
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:01,560
Speaker 1: as a guy you maybe not maybe you don't have

2066
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: a spy. Maybe as a pass rush you feel like

2067
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:05,800
Speaker 1: you can get a little bit more loose as far

2068
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 1: as how you rush a guy like that. But that's

2069
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 1: that's probably the first thing that jumps in my mind

2070
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: when when when I'm attacking these guys. Okay, Josh may

2071
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,400
Speaker 1: take off on us. Matt, you think he's gonna probably

2072
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 1: be somewhere if he does break out, we can get

2073
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 1: to him, right Alexander and studio with us. Let's talk

2074
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 1: about the quarterback you will go up against Marcus Mariota

2075
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 1: this week's second overall pick, what four or five years ago? Um,

2076
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:30,679
Speaker 1: I know there's talent there, but man, sometimes you gotta

2077
01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 1: sit through a lot of bad place to see the

2078
01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 1: talent on display. That's my amateurion. You may not agree, well,

2079
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,080
Speaker 1: I think they are a run first team. Anytime you

2080
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:41,800
Speaker 1: have a premier talent like Derrick Henry in the backfield,

2081
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna utilize him as best you can. And so

2082
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:47,280
Speaker 1: they are very committed to the run, probably more so

2083
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 1: than any team that we've played against. And where they

2084
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 1: find their strengths at is off the play action after

2085
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 1: you've come down and allow Marcus to make some easy

2086
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:58,599
Speaker 1: throws where it's one on one essentially because the linebackers

2087
01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:00,760
Speaker 1: are flown up because we're worried about Derek Henry. We

2088
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:02,479
Speaker 1: can't let him get gone because then we wouldn't be

2089
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:04,519
Speaker 1: able to stop anything and making a lot of great throws,

2090
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 1: some big plays alter aj Brown, um De Lonnie Walker

2091
01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 1: gets open in that in that fashion as well, and

2092
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:12,400
Speaker 1: that's what we have to be able to stop. So

2093
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: if we can snuff out this run early and make

2094
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 1: him not have a clear vision over the middle with

2095
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 1: counterpass or any play action, we can give him to

2096
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:23,080
Speaker 1: hold the balling and allow our defensive line to maybe

2097
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: get to him. We had Greg Cosell on earlier in

2098
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:27,160
Speaker 1: the show and he said Tennessee is really good. When

2099
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:29,680
Speaker 1: they play action with a guy like Derrick Henry, you

2100
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 1: know they're gonna try at least run the fine and

2101
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 1: he's so big and you kind of gotta dive in

2102
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:37,679
Speaker 1: on the on the line of scrimmage to get him stopped.

2103
01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:40,200
Speaker 1: So that really does set them up for a good

2104
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 1: play action there. Yeah, And that's what it's all about

2105
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 1: when you when you're facing a big, strong back like him,

2106
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 1: is get his feet stopped, get his momentum stopped, because

2107
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:48,840
Speaker 1: when he gets out in the open, if you know,

2108
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:50,800
Speaker 1: if you're watching this at home, you can see how

2109
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:52,439
Speaker 1: what type of speed he has to get out and

2110
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:55,120
Speaker 1: really do home run hits. And so guys are gonna

2111
01:41:55,120 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 1: be flying up initially because we know that's their strength.

2112
01:41:57,400 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 1: And if they get that going and they're really a

2113
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:01,599
Speaker 1: two headed monster from the run game to play action

2114
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 1: is gonna be a long day for us as a linebacker.

2115
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: What have you been taught over the years and even

2116
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 1: hearing Buffalo about how to play play action, how to

2117
01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 1: handle it? What do they tell you? What are the

2118
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 1: biggest thing? If you can snuff out the run and

2119
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:15,560
Speaker 1: get that kind of eliminated where you're comfortable with it,

2120
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 1: where okay, they may not be into it as much,

2121
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 1: then you can be a little bit more slower, you know,

2122
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:21,840
Speaker 1: it's what we call it when you pop your feet

2123
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:24,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, maybe your tick slower to the run

2124
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 1: if they do run it. But then as as far

2125
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 1: as pass, you can get back into your drops to

2126
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 1: create a little bit of a cover for your corners

2127
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 1: for someone like those deep overs or deeper in cut

2128
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 1: routes that we call digs, just to put a little

2129
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,640
Speaker 1: bit of indecision into the quarterback's mind whether or not

2130
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 1: he wants to throw it versus a clear path. Talking

2131
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:44,519
Speaker 1: about a tenth of a second, right, which makes a

2132
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 1: big deal when you try to rush a guy. You know,

2133
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: even from a pass rushing standpoint, are you know a

2134
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 1: tenth of a second? If a quarterback holds the ball

2135
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 1: longer than two point four seconds, we expect Jerry Hughes

2136
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:57,760
Speaker 1: to be at least affected him, not necessarily sacking him,

2137
01:42:57,760 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 1: but affecting him, so that tenth of a second makes

2138
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:01,639
Speaker 1: a big deal. As far as me getting a hand

2139
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:03,840
Speaker 1: on him, making him feel uncomfortable, where he feel like

2140
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:05,639
Speaker 1: he may have to move or shift, and where maybe

2141
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 1: I get a sack on him, makes a huge difference

2142
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,920
Speaker 1: as far as our past defense in our rush, what's

2143
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 1: the thought on how well, the Titan offense played last

2144
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,640
Speaker 1: week against Atlanta. They you know, they they're two and two.

2145
01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 1: They were one and two going into last week, and

2146
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:21,920
Speaker 1: they kind of had a little explosion. Yeah, explosion its Atlanta.

2147
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 1: What was the difference for them? Do you think, um

2148
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 1: the plash in deep game? I mean, you know, when

2149
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,680
Speaker 1: when you're so run conscious and oriented, I don't I

2150
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:30,680
Speaker 1: don't know if they really want to just go down

2151
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:32,840
Speaker 1: the field methodically on you if they get those big

2152
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 1: chunk plays, which we you know we really harp On

2153
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:39,240
Speaker 1: is not giving any team up any big explosion plays.

2154
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 1: But if you give this team explosion plays with that

2155
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 1: run game, it really energizes what they're able to do.

2156
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 1: I would say, secondly, if we can get them into

2157
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 1: where they feel like they have to drop back, and

2158
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:52,240
Speaker 1: we're about to start kind of getting into some of

2159
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: my lowdown notes here is SCO score early to where

2160
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 1: they feel like, okay, well we can't we can't just

2161
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:00,600
Speaker 1: keep handing the ball off. We gotta make this a

2162
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 1: drop back pass game will definitely help us. And I

2163
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 1: think in Atlanta game that kept it close, unlike some

2164
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:07,400
Speaker 1: of the games prior where they lost and they felt

2165
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: like Okay, well, we got to start dropping back or

2166
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:12,599
Speaker 1: they still wanted to try to run it, but couldn't

2167
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:14,559
Speaker 1: really get anything done, and that's why they end up losing.

2168
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:18,040
Speaker 1: Bill Lorenzo Alexander with us to give us the lowdown

2169
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: as the Bills get set to play at Tennessee on Sunday.

2170
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:22,639
Speaker 1: We do this every Friday at two o'clock, the Lowdown.

2171
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:24,639
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Your keys to the game, your

2172
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:27,000
Speaker 1: first one, I think a lot. I see what you've written.

2173
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,240
Speaker 1: It reminds me of that old cartoon We have met

2174
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: the enemy and it is us, because it's almost the

2175
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:33,800
Speaker 1: story of the Bills here the last week or so.

2176
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:37,439
Speaker 1: Any yeah, yeah, you know, just eliminating self inflicted wounds,

2177
01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's you know, turnovers, giving up big plays,

2178
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 1: special teams. You know, obviously we gave up a block

2179
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 1: punt last week. We had a big return. I want

2180
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 1: to say in the at least two of the first

2181
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:50,880
Speaker 1: three games. One got called back. And those things come

2182
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 1: down when we watched the film, but it was more

2183
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:55,080
Speaker 1: us and not them, and so we have to be

2184
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 1: able to operate on a high level because let's remember

2185
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,680
Speaker 1: last year we created three turnovers and it still came

2186
01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 1: down to a possession game, and so now we're going

2187
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 1: to be down there at their home field, and if

2188
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 1: we have any any penalties or turnovers, it's definitely gonna

2189
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 1: make it that much harder to kind of overcome and

2190
01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:13,599
Speaker 1: win the game. And then also you said as well

2191
01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:15,920
Speaker 1: as number two on the low down was score early,

2192
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:17,720
Speaker 1: get off to a fast start. Yeah, I mean, I

2193
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,839
Speaker 1: think that's just huge for everybody's conference. I think anytime

2194
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 1: you have, you know, turnovers or you don't play well

2195
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:26,479
Speaker 1: on offense, you kind of become hesitant in some ways,

2196
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:30,599
Speaker 1: like second guessing yourself. So I think early success running

2197
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,320
Speaker 1: the ball obviously what Frank has been doing, getting some josh,

2198
01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 1: some play acts and some easy throws, getting that thing

2199
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 1: rolling early, and then having some fruits of your labor,

2200
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:39,880
Speaker 1: not fumbling the ball when you getting the rizzone, but

2201
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 1: either kicking a field goal or a touchdown, really gets

2202
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:44,720
Speaker 1: your confidence going to, well, okay, we're back in this thing.

2203
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:48,360
Speaker 1: Let's start clicking and not second guessing yourself. What sometimes

2204
01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: can happen when you don't start as fast as you

2205
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:52,679
Speaker 1: would like. And one of the things about the Bill's

2206
01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 1: team this year. This year's version constructed around a really

2207
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 1: more than solid defense. When you score early, it really

2208
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 1: come pounds the pressure you can put on the other

2209
01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:03,880
Speaker 1: team on both sides of the ball. All of a sudden. Yeah,

2210
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 1: they start calling plays different, making plays different, trying things

2211
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:10,720
Speaker 1: differently because they feel like, Wow, now only we got

2212
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:13,000
Speaker 1: to score against this really good defense. Now we're behind. Yeah,

2213
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 1: we're behind, and we might have to score, you know,

2214
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: more than any right, and so maybe you get out

2215
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 1: of your rhythm and makes them uncomfortable. And that's why

2216
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 1: I'm saying having that success some long drives, scoring early,

2217
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:26,840
Speaker 1: especially touchdowns, will really help the defense as well as

2218
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:30,240
Speaker 1: far as pulling Titans out of their offensive game planfens

2219
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: like going down two to nothing against Dominic Hashik and

2220
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:38,679
Speaker 1: not coming back. You're not scoring over your third load

2221
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 1: down your third key. Pretty basic, but you've done it. Really.

2222
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 1: On defense, dominate the line of scrimmage, yeah, and it

2223
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:46,479
Speaker 1: comes down to stopping Derek Henry. I think we have

2224
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:48,840
Speaker 1: to be able to control the line of scrimmage um.

2225
01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:52,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, knock people back, um and make Derek

2226
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:54,920
Speaker 1: Henry stop his feed or make a cut earlier than

2227
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 1: he wants to, because if he can hit the thing

2228
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,120
Speaker 1: down hill Man I ran this dude, and so I

2229
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 1: know people don't want to run into him because it's

2230
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:03,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a big collision because he's a big man

2231
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 1: and he gets stronger as the game goes on, just

2232
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,880
Speaker 1: because of his size, his power, his strength. Yeah, kind

2233
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:10,760
Speaker 1: of a big name offensive line. They spend a lot

2234
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 1: of money on Rogers Staffold, They got the former first

2235
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:15,760
Speaker 1: rounder back in the line of this week, Taylor around.

2236
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:17,840
Speaker 1: They've got some name Lawan, there's some names up there

2237
01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:19,720
Speaker 1: in front, right, Yeah, I mean, and they play well

2238
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:22,640
Speaker 1: and so but you know, I'll definitely bet on our

2239
01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:24,320
Speaker 1: guys any day of the week. And that's why it's

2240
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:26,960
Speaker 1: going to be a four quarter physical game because, like

2241
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 1: I said, Derek Henry gets stronger as the game goes on,

2242
01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:30,840
Speaker 1: so we really have to keep it on. Why did

2243
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:35,760
Speaker 1: the Falcon struggle with him last week? Yeah, I mean,

2244
01:47:35,800 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing was just the play action

2245
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 1: the play action game, because they really were trying to

2246
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 1: come up and stop Derek Henry. And then you also

2247
01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 1: have some gap integrity. As you can see today, guys

2248
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:49,800
Speaker 1: is not in their gaps, and anytime you give a

2249
01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 1: good back like that, he's gonna find the whole and

2250
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,720
Speaker 1: then he's only to your secondary and most corners and

2251
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 1: most safeties don't want to tackle a guy that's that

2252
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,400
Speaker 1: big coming at him. They kind of they give it effort,

2253
01:48:00,479 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 1: but they're like, please, somebody come and hit this duke.

2254
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 1: I know. It's a it's a big cliche in the

2255
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 1: league where you get guys they get better in the

2256
01:48:08,280 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they get stronger in the fourth quarter. And

2257
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:12,679
Speaker 1: really the problem with that is a guy like Derek

2258
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 1: Henry is not that he gets so much better, it

2259
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:17,439
Speaker 1: is that guys really do get tired. I get tired

2260
01:48:17,439 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 1: of tackleing that they know it's going to really hurt. Yeah,

2261
01:48:20,479 --> 01:48:23,000
Speaker 1: and it's hard to jump into that meat grind. Yeah,

2262
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: so as the game wears on, you get you know,

2263
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 1: Vince Lombardi said, fatigue makes cowards of us. All. So

2264
01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 1: when you get tired, you're just you're it's hard to

2265
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:35,680
Speaker 1: jump in and tackle the guy that size late in

2266
01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:37,439
Speaker 1: the game, especially you know what it is gonna feel like.

2267
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 1: That's why it's that's why it's great for the office

2268
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 1: to score early for us the stuff that run game

2269
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 1: early so they get away from it. Hey, you know,

2270
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:46,080
Speaker 1: I know the times we had you on the show

2271
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 1: during the offseason. I bet every time we asked you,

2272
01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:51,679
Speaker 1: Lorenzo twenty eighteen, Bills number two ranked defense in the league.

2273
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 1: You're number two right now. Yeah, but it seems better.

2274
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:56,680
Speaker 1: And I wonder your perspective. We're only four games in.

2275
01:48:57,439 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 1: What have you learned about your Buffalo defense or the

2276
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:02,720
Speaker 1: quarter of the season that maybe he didn't um. I

2277
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:06,439
Speaker 1: would say that we're resilient. Um early on, we're much

2278
01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,960
Speaker 1: more mentally tough, because last year we'd have lost a

2279
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 1: couple of these games early we'd just kind of fell

2280
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:15,640
Speaker 1: apart um because we're putting in some bad situations and

2281
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:17,640
Speaker 1: something bad would have happened. But I think a lot

2282
01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 1: of that has to do with guy's being there the

2283
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:23,560
Speaker 1: second year, especially Tremaine, his calmness, putting this in good situations,

2284
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:25,439
Speaker 1: and guys are just executing and we have I think

2285
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:28,519
Speaker 1: we're deeper team this year too. Tremaine and Matt Milano

2286
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 1: are starting to get some raised, some mind brows out

2287
01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:34,600
Speaker 1: how well they're playing, especially Tremaine. Right, I mean, just

2288
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:36,599
Speaker 1: what is it just more of the same from last year?

2289
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:38,960
Speaker 1: What do you see now as being a guy? Because

2290
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,000
Speaker 1: I see him now way on the other side of

2291
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:42,840
Speaker 1: the Scrimmage, Liane Scrimmage, A lot more of this, right,

2292
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 1: It's just about understanding where you fit. I mean anytime

2293
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 1: that you're thinking when you play and you know this

2294
01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 1: guy's slow down, and you're like, man, he runs much

2295
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:53,720
Speaker 1: faster than this in practice or when he's doing scout team.

2296
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 1: He's so much better than this. But then you put

2297
01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:57,280
Speaker 1: him in a situation where they have to think, it

2298
01:49:57,400 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 1: slows slows you down and takes your athleticism away. And

2299
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 1: that's what some of that progression was, which Tremaine last year.

2300
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 1: And now that he understands what we're doing, he understands

2301
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:08,599
Speaker 1: the concept, so he's not really thinking about it anymore.

2302
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 1: It becomes the second nature. And now he can see

2303
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 1: he to flow the office, how they're attacking him. And

2304
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:15,600
Speaker 1: now he's much more downhill, much more physical when he

2305
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 1: gets to guards and throwing guys off and making some plays,

2306
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 1: having tackle for losses, getting his hands on balls. And

2307
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: this is going to continue to progress and get better

2308
01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 1: the more and more he understands the game of footballing

2309
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:28,479
Speaker 1: so like and I keep saying this, he's gonna be

2310
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:32,400
Speaker 1: the standard probably here next next year three and year four.

2311
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: For him, he's gonna be like, man, I need how

2312
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 1: do I we get a Tremaine Etman? Who who's the

2313
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: next Tremaine Atmans? We gotta start drafting a guy that

2314
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:40,679
Speaker 1: looks like him, right. I got another of your defensive

2315
01:50:40,720 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 1: teammates to ask you about a veteran guy. And I

2316
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:46,439
Speaker 1: don't put a lot of stock into analytics, but I

2317
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:48,880
Speaker 1: mean I came across this this morning. The Micah Hyde

2318
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:51,200
Speaker 1: had a huge interception in the end zone. Huge play

2319
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:55,479
Speaker 1: last week. But opposing quarterbacks passer rating against Michael hits

2320
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:58,240
Speaker 1: coverage just like thirty four or something. He might be

2321
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:00,920
Speaker 1: one of the top three four safeties in the game. Well,

2322
01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 1: it's not too many safeties that can cover like him.

2323
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:04,840
Speaker 1: He may be the top cover safety in the league.

2324
01:51:04,920 --> 01:51:07,280
Speaker 1: Most guys can probably play the deep field. But let's

2325
01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:09,040
Speaker 1: remember Michael was a corner at one point in time

2326
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:11,720
Speaker 1: to play nickel playing the slot. So he's been dealing

2327
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 1: with guys like this for a long time, going back

2328
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 1: to when he was in Green Bay. And he has

2329
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 1: great ball skills and you know those PFF stats can

2330
01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 1: you know lead you on what? But he's been balling

2331
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 1: like that since he's gotten here. Um, he probably had

2332
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, a down year from people statistically last year,

2333
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 1: but that was because the first year he was here,

2334
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:31,040
Speaker 1: he was picking everything off that people through at him.

2335
01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:34,840
Speaker 1: So he's a dominant player him and I think player

2336
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:38,599
Speaker 1: get underlooked or undervalued nationally, but that's everybody here in Buffalo.

2337
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 1: We have some great guys and he's going to continue

2338
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 1: to get better, continue to raise eyebrows, and if we

2339
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:44,840
Speaker 1: continue to win, he'll be a guy to be in

2340
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:46,840
Speaker 1: the pro bow. Very funny you mentioned about pay and

2341
01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 1: had the same conversation this morning with coach McDermott, and

2342
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:52,080
Speaker 1: I realized when you asked any Buffalo bill coacher player

2343
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 1: about one of those two, you have to yeah, you

2344
01:51:55,439 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 1: have to why is that? And I'm not just counting boy.

2345
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:02,839
Speaker 1: I know he's great. Yeah, I mean they just they

2346
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:05,040
Speaker 1: do everything together. I mean they're literally I mean like

2347
01:52:05,120 --> 01:52:07,640
Speaker 1: the splash brother literally brothers. I mean you can't have

2348
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, salt without pepper. I mean you just can't.

2349
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 1: You can't peanut, butter and jelly. Well, you know, they

2350
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 1: go together. So the last thing you gave us kind

2351
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:17,880
Speaker 1: of the whole team things like you know, gonna knock

2352
01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 1: out the self inflicted wounds and score early and get

2353
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:22,519
Speaker 1: a fast start. Stuff. What about just on your side

2354
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:24,080
Speaker 1: of the ball. What do you guys, what's your keys

2355
01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:28,080
Speaker 1: for this game? Uh, they're getting ready. I mean, preventing

2356
01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 1: him from getting loose the engine, he's the engine that

2357
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:33,120
Speaker 1: makes everything else goes on that team. And then I

2358
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:35,920
Speaker 1: think obviously keeping Marcus in the pocket because he does

2359
01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:37,680
Speaker 1: have the ability to make some big plays with his

2360
01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:40,759
Speaker 1: legs because he is very mobile um. And then lastly

2361
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 1: make them pay. I don't think they have any turnovers

2362
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:44,439
Speaker 1: this year. They've put the ball in the ground, but

2363
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:47,760
Speaker 1: the opposing team hasn't been that. They haven't lost it yet,

2364
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:48,920
Speaker 1: So we have to figure out a way to take

2365
01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:51,120
Speaker 1: it from him, and then that'll really, you know, start

2366
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:52,880
Speaker 1: maybe getting them out of some of the things that

2367
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: they may like. One more question for you about a

2368
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,360
Speaker 1: team at opposite side of the ball, and you you

2369
01:52:57,479 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 1: are you know you played long enough, you are a

2370
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:01,639
Speaker 1: bit of a football historian and you're in the game.

2371
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: Well no, Frank, you're a relic. That's yeah, But Frank,

2372
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 1: go that's my guy, high man right ards. Only four

2373
01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:11,720
Speaker 1: guys have ever done that. It's amazing, it's amazing. You

2374
01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:13,439
Speaker 1: know what I grew up a forty nine A fan.

2375
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:15,800
Speaker 1: Um so I got always got a chance to watch

2376
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 1: him from afar. My uncle is a huge he loves

2377
01:53:18,479 --> 01:53:20,760
Speaker 1: he loves Frank more than he probably loves me. That's

2378
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:22,720
Speaker 1: how that's how good of a football player of Frank

2379
01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:26,680
Speaker 1: Gore is. But everybody loves him, loves his his mentality

2380
01:53:26,720 --> 01:53:28,760
Speaker 1: and his energy that he brings into the building every day.

2381
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:30,400
Speaker 1: And for God to be able to do that, to

2382
01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 1: sustain at thirty five, when they call you old at

2383
01:53:33,040 --> 01:53:36,519
Speaker 1: thirty playing that position, I mean, it's just amazing and inspiring. Yeah,

2384
01:53:36,600 --> 01:53:39,400
Speaker 1: the old all the time and you just yeah, yeah,

2385
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 1: back right. Yeah, me and him are cut from the

2386
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:43,400
Speaker 1: same cloth. You know, he got he guy made him,

2387
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,560
Speaker 1: made him a little bit better than me, but you know,

2388
01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 1: definitely made with the same material. Good luck this weekend, Yeah,

2412
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:04,920

2413
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 1: don't know. They shouldn't have traffic going down that street.

Speaker 1: They had barbecue places right there. Oh my gosh, it's yeah,

2429
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:00,240

2443
01:56:35,760 --> 01:56:37,560

2444
01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:39,640
Speaker 1: to talk about it with you. You don't know either,

2445
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:42,840
Speaker 1: So let's talk about in common eight oh three fifty

2446
01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:45,360
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five

2447
01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 1: fifty Coach McDermott after practice today, that was about an

2448
01:56:48,440 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 1: hour and a half ago. McDermott said Allen remains in

2449
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:55,400
Speaker 1: Concussom protocol, but Sean McDermott said if Josh Clear's protocol

2450
01:56:55,480 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 1: before Sunday's game, he would be comfortable starting him against

2451
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:01,720
Speaker 1: the Tennessee It's very interesting. There's one more note than

2452
01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:06,360
Speaker 1: this was tweeted out by Mike Reese from ESPN in Boston.

2453
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:08,320
Speaker 1: Mike Reesse then on the show a lot, good guy,

2454
01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:11,440
Speaker 1: He says. He said this just power go Patriots cornerback

2455
01:57:11,520 --> 01:57:15,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Jones, the man who hit um Josh Allen gave

2456
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:18,760
Speaker 1: him the concussion. Jonathan Jones says he connected with Josh

2457
01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:21,480
Speaker 1: Allen through social media as he wanted to make sure

2458
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:23,960
Speaker 1: he was okay after last Sunday's game. Jones said he

2459
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:26,560
Speaker 1: has not heard from the NFL regarding any possible fine.

2460
01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:28,960
Speaker 1: If there is one, today would be the day typically

2461
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 1: right Friday, sometimes late Friday afternoon, the final when it happens.

2462
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:35,720
Speaker 1: Yeahs Fridays. Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah. If he

2463
01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 1: doesn't get fine, I got an even bigger problem with

2464
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:40,240
Speaker 1: that hit. I mean, I think you should have been ejected. Okay,

2465
01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:42,360
Speaker 1: I've been We've talked about that earlier in the week, right,

2466
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:44,400
Speaker 1: but at least this is worthy of a fine. Isn't

2467
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:47,600
Speaker 1: it a direct hit to the helmet? People? You know,

2468
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 1: you look at it and you play at slow motion

2469
01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:52,680
Speaker 1: and people say no, look. Josh Loward has said, the

2470
01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:55,520
Speaker 1: guy went right at Josh Ellen's helmet. You know, change

2471
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:57,800
Speaker 1: your aiming point it can you can do it. People

2472
01:57:57,840 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 1: do it all over the league. Guys have made that

2473
01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 1: justumin in the league. This is an outlier. I said

2474
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:04,440
Speaker 1: this early in the week. People don't hit like this anymore,

2475
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:06,440
Speaker 1: And when you see it, you're like, WHOA, come on,

2476
01:58:06,640 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 1: that's not the NFL anymore. This guy delivered a blow

2477
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:11,920
Speaker 1: to the head with his head. He certainly should be fined.

2478
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:13,720
Speaker 1: He should have been ejected the other day. But we

2479
01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:16,200
Speaker 1: don't need to go into all that again, right, Yeah,

2480
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:19,280
Speaker 1: let's do. It's time to turn the page. We'll see

2481
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I I mean from what Yeah, yeah, I'm

2482
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:26,840
Speaker 1: done with it, Steve. It doesn't mean the guy's a

2483
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:31,080
Speaker 1: bad guy, bad person. It's a mistake. It was a mistake.

2484
01:58:31,200 --> 01:58:32,960
Speaker 1: I think he should have turned the other way instead

2485
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:35,120
Speaker 1: of the way he did. But yeah, and he could

2486
01:58:35,160 --> 01:58:38,360
Speaker 1: have avoided the hit, didn't want to. And if he

2487
01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 1: gets fined, I think that's I think that's worth you.

2488
01:58:40,440 --> 01:58:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I did not see it an ejection coming,

2489
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:46,400
Speaker 1: although at the time, I gotta admit, to be honest

2490
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 1: with you, when it happened, I thought, yes, you got

2491
01:58:49,560 --> 01:58:51,840
Speaker 1: to eject the guy. That seemed bad. But then as

2492
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 1: when I look back at it and saw it and

2493
01:58:53,320 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 1: stole motion, I thought no, I thought, no, he didn't,

2494
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:58,360
Speaker 1: so but I do think he should probably be fine

2495
01:58:58,400 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 1: and probably will be I hope. So I'm surprised we

2496
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:02,680
Speaker 1: hadn't heard about that, and now you're telling me it

2497
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:05,320
Speaker 1: usually happens today. Yeah, but you know it can be

2498
01:59:05,440 --> 01:59:08,000
Speaker 1: late Friday afternoon. But yeah, it doesn't happen today. I'm

2499
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 1: really going to be worried about it, all right. The

2527
02:00:50,640 --> 02:00:52,760

2529

02:00:58,160 --> 02:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Frank and Cheektawaga. Frank, go ahead, you're on air. Hello, Frank, Yes,

2531
02:01:05,080 --> 02:01:07,560
Speaker 1: you're on the air of this, Frank, did you call, yes?

2532
02:01:07,640 --> 02:01:11,960
Speaker 1: Say did guy's doing good? Good? Good? My comment about

2533
02:01:12,040 --> 02:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is I hope he plays because, let's face it,

2534
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,560
Speaker 1: the kids are rookie and the more times he plays,

2535
02:01:18,040 --> 02:01:20,440
Speaker 1: he might get better. I think this season here for

2536
02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:22,680
Speaker 1: him is going to be a big step for him.

2537
02:01:23,040 --> 02:01:24,960
Speaker 1: Either he's going to learn to throw the ball away

2538
02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:28,720
Speaker 1: and slide instead of taking on linebackers and safeties and

2539
02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:31,920
Speaker 1: get himself killed because as soon as he took off

2540
02:01:31,960 --> 02:01:34,760
Speaker 1: from going fly kid and he didn't and this guy

2541
02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:37,600
Speaker 1: absolutely cleaned him. And this is going to happen game

2542
02:01:37,680 --> 02:01:39,720
Speaker 1: and came out as long as he thinks he can

2543
02:01:39,800 --> 02:01:42,480
Speaker 1: run with the football. You know what was good? Thanks Frank.

2544
02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:45,400
Speaker 1: You know what was good, Steve about watching the quarter

2545
02:01:45,480 --> 02:01:47,920
Speaker 1: and a half of last night's game and watching Russell Wilson.

2546
02:01:48,480 --> 02:01:50,760
Speaker 1: He is a master at when the slide, when not

2547
02:01:50,880 --> 02:01:52,960
Speaker 1: to slide where the yardage might get you might get

2548
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:55,120
Speaker 1: the yardage on the ground. Um. I think there's a

2549
02:01:55,160 --> 02:01:58,880
Speaker 1: lot to be learned about. And Russell Wilson is like Josh.

2550
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:00,880
Speaker 1: You know, Russell Wilson came into the league, is a

2551
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:03,640
Speaker 1: very very mobile quarterback, but he knows how to use it,

2552
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:05,360
Speaker 1: and he knows how to slide and how to avoid danger,

2553
02:02:05,480 --> 02:02:07,720
Speaker 1: and that was on display last night in many many ways.

2554
02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:10,960
Speaker 1: I agree he's the master at it. Other guys who

2555
02:02:11,040 --> 02:02:13,760
Speaker 1: have been around the league a long time are automatically masters.

2556
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: Out of Philip Rivers is a master. He never he

2557
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:19,720
Speaker 1: never takes a hit, and he never really runs with

2558
02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:25,320
Speaker 1: the football. Drew Brees never gets takes a full shot,

2559
02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:27,440
Speaker 1: although you know, even even the injury he got was

2560
02:02:27,560 --> 02:02:30,440
Speaker 1: following through. Uh do you just never see these guys

2561
02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:32,680
Speaker 1: who have been around for a very long take shots

2562
02:02:32,760 --> 02:02:36,520
Speaker 1: like that, And Josh is almost inviting him, you know.

2563
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean he's like he's you know, he's diving forward

2564
02:02:39,400 --> 02:02:41,480
Speaker 1: with a guy, you know, through a guy's tackle, and

2565
02:02:41,600 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 1: he get takes a shot with a second guy. It's crazy, man,

2566
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:46,320
Speaker 1: You can't. You got to learn not to do that.

2567
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:49,600
Speaker 1: And I hope he either will learn it or he

2568
02:02:49,680 --> 02:02:52,720
Speaker 1: will be too injured to play. Sean and Las Vegas

2569
02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:54,400
Speaker 1: on the line with a solo. Sean, go ahead, you're

2570
02:02:54,400 --> 02:03:00,240
Speaker 1: on the air, Hi, what's going on Fellas Friday? Yeah? Yeah,

2571
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,320
Speaker 1: I just saw it. What the protocol you know, keeping

2572
02:03:03,400 --> 02:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Josh and they're all we limited practice. I mean, I

2573
02:03:06,280 --> 02:03:08,640
Speaker 1: know quarterbacks were the red contact jersey, so they don't

2574
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:12,040
Speaker 1: really get hit throughout the week. Anyway. My question is,

2575
02:03:12,120 --> 02:03:14,880
Speaker 1: is you think that McDermott kind of slow playing this,

2576
02:03:15,080 --> 02:03:17,840
Speaker 1: keeping it close to the vest, just so it doesn't

2577
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:20,600
Speaker 1: give Rabel an opportunity to know who the game planning for,

2578
02:03:20,800 --> 02:03:23,880
Speaker 1: because I you know, obviously looking at two completely different

2579
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:27,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks with you know, Barkley and Allen, and yeah, I

2580
02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:31,240
Speaker 1: think that maybe that's why they're you know, waiting, keep

2581
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 1: waiting till lay at last moment. Yeah, I think that's

2582
02:03:33,600 --> 02:03:35,360
Speaker 1: a big element to it. I really do. And we'll

2583
02:03:35,360 --> 02:03:37,800
Speaker 1: see how you know, he's not out of protocol yet,

2584
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:39,600
Speaker 1: but I do think that's the way they played it

2585
02:03:39,640 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 1: all week. Steve, I mean, yeah, I don't know. Certainly,

2586
02:03:44,400 --> 02:03:47,240
Speaker 1: nobody is saying that that I've talked to. They also listen,

2587
02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:49,520
Speaker 1: he's not clear from the protocol and he can't play

2588
02:03:49,520 --> 02:03:53,000
Speaker 1: if he's not. And like we talked about the guys

2589
02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:57,400
Speaker 1: who evaluate him or don't work for the team, So

2590
02:03:57,920 --> 02:04:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, so I that, Yeah, I'm sure that every

2591
02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:02,520
Speaker 1: coach out there would love to slow play this and

2592
02:04:02,640 --> 02:04:04,760
Speaker 1: have this place where there's a big question marks doing it.

2593
02:04:05,040 --> 02:04:07,480
Speaker 1: I just don't know how much control this club has

2594
02:04:07,560 --> 02:04:10,839
Speaker 1: over that particular aspect of the whole scenario you're describing.

2595
02:04:11,240 --> 02:04:13,760
Speaker 1: He's in the concussion protocol and now he took a

2596
02:04:13,800 --> 02:04:17,560
Speaker 1: step He didn't take a step forward yesterday from the

2597
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:20,640
Speaker 1: day before he was in. He was in limited and

2598
02:04:20,680 --> 02:04:23,560
Speaker 1: then limited again. He wasn't limited, then full and then full.

2599
02:04:24,520 --> 02:04:27,440
Speaker 1: So he didn't take a step forward yesterday, but it

2600
02:04:27,520 --> 02:04:29,840
Speaker 1: seems to have today. So we went on full today.

2601
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:32,000
Speaker 1: But he's still in the concussion protocol. So when that happens,

2602
02:04:32,040 --> 02:04:35,640
Speaker 1: when he gets cleared, we'll see. But I I see

2603
02:04:35,720 --> 02:04:38,000
Speaker 1: that you're seeing. Maybe they're saying, hey, they got to

2604
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 1: get ready for Matt Barkley and then spring Josh Allen on.

2605
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have enough. I don't control

2606
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:50,360
Speaker 1: of the situation to do that. Call here from Chris

2607
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:53,800
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Hello Chris, you're on the air, guys, thanks

2608
02:04:53,800 --> 02:04:56,880
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Sure, good question for you. I

2609
02:04:56,920 --> 02:05:01,000
Speaker 1: want your opinion on the possible solutions to eliminates concussions

2610
02:05:01,040 --> 02:05:04,920
Speaker 1: at football. We think about eliminating their helmets. My daughter

2611
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 1: plays rugby with city honors as no helmets. They got

2612
02:05:08,720 --> 02:05:11,560
Speaker 1: full on tackles and the concussions are nowhere near what

2613
02:05:11,640 --> 02:05:15,080
Speaker 1: they iron NFL. Yeah, I get you, and you're right,

2614
02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:16,880
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that guys will say too,

2615
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:20,520
Speaker 1: if you want to eliminate, you know, leading with your head.

2616
02:05:20,880 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't even just take the helmets away, was take

2617
02:05:23,040 --> 02:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the face max off the helmet so guys wouldn't throw

2618
02:05:25,840 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 1: their face in there without protection. And we got to

2619
02:05:28,680 --> 02:05:31,680
Speaker 1: this point, let's face it, we got to this point

2620
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:35,720
Speaker 1: in football with helmets and stuff because it was it

2621
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:38,160
Speaker 1: was starting to get more and more dangerous without them,

2622
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:42,560
Speaker 1: and so they started wearing helmets to protect guys. So

2623
02:05:42,720 --> 02:05:45,120
Speaker 1: we got this place because they needed more protection even

2624
02:05:45,160 --> 02:05:49,080
Speaker 1: when they didn't have helmets. Sole article I read recently

2625
02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:51,960
Speaker 1: was the helmets do a great job protecting their skulls,

2626
02:05:52,040 --> 02:05:56,120
Speaker 1: but they do zero to protect the brain inside the skull,

2627
02:05:56,200 --> 02:05:58,880
Speaker 1: which is still going to wash around, you know, backwards,

2628
02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:02,120
Speaker 1: tours left to right cause it concussions. Right. I don't

2629
02:06:02,120 --> 02:06:05,440
Speaker 1: know if there's any equipment they can do that handle that, yeah,

2630
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:07,280
Speaker 1: And I don't know that, yeah they And I guess

2631
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,400
Speaker 1: that's the point of taking the helmets away, because you

2632
02:06:09,440 --> 02:06:12,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't need equipment to to you know, to protect your

2633
02:06:13,360 --> 02:06:15,600
Speaker 1: your Melani if if you're doing it yourself, you're not

2634
02:06:15,640 --> 02:06:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna throw your melanie where you're know where, it's not

2635
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna get slashed. Um. That's the big thing. If they

2636
02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:24,440
Speaker 1: take the helmets away, guys won't be able to tackle

2637
02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:27,520
Speaker 1: the way they have always tackled, for sure, and you

2638
02:06:27,640 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 1: may get fewer, uh concussions. I would say you will

2639
02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:39,320
Speaker 1: probably get an enormous rise in other types of injuries shoulders, ribs, arms,

2640
02:06:39,800 --> 02:06:42,280
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But at least you would save

2641
02:06:42,320 --> 02:06:44,800
Speaker 1: your nogging. Thanks Chris. A call here from Joel in

2642
02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:48,240
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Hello Joel, Welcome to the show. Hey guys,

02:06:57,960 --> 02:07:00,960
Speaker 1: my god, almighty, is that guy knowledgeable? What? I love it?

2647
02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I remember when we picked him up

2648
02:07:05,520 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 1: and I was like, who is this guy? He is

2649
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:11,640
Speaker 1: such he's hey, Steep, does he remind you of the

2650
02:07:11,760 --> 02:07:15,240
Speaker 1: leaders you had back in the day. Yeah, listen, I

2651
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:16,960
Speaker 1: remember when they got him and he's like he was

2652
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:19,000
Speaker 1: going to be a special teams guy. They brought him

2653
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:21,040
Speaker 1: in and then he was here with Rex Ryan. Rex

2654
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:23,080
Speaker 1: brought him in and they were going through training camp

2655
02:07:23,440 --> 02:07:26,000
Speaker 1: and Rex Ryan and they were putting in this Rex

2656
02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Ryan defense and they had an injury. Somebody got a

2657
02:07:30,400 --> 02:07:34,040
Speaker 1: twisted ankle. Some you know, really really good I don't

2658
02:07:34,040 --> 02:07:35,880
Speaker 1: know who it was. Starter got an injury, he says,

2659
02:07:35,960 --> 02:07:38,040
Speaker 1: And I think he said, if we're gonna go, he says,

2660
02:07:38,120 --> 02:07:40,440
Speaker 1: right now, we might just go ahead and put Lorenzo

2661
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:42,760
Speaker 1: Alexander in there because we know he's going to be

2662
02:07:42,840 --> 02:07:44,280
Speaker 1: in the right spot and he knows what he's doing.

2663
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:46,120
Speaker 1: At least he'll line up right and help other guys

2664
02:07:46,200 --> 02:07:49,160
Speaker 1: line up. They started doing that, and he's never left.

2665
02:07:49,280 --> 02:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Even when Sean McDermott came. They changed philosophies, defensively, everything.

2666
02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Lorenzo just got on the field and now they can't

2667
02:07:56,240 --> 02:07:59,120
Speaker 1: get him off. Been a great edition. Let's go one

2668
02:07:59,120 --> 02:08:03,200
Speaker 1: more called Christ and Rochester. Hello, Chris, go ahead, Hey. Thanks.

2669
02:08:03,520 --> 02:08:05,720
Speaker 1: A couple of quick comments and kind of a question

2670
02:08:05,760 --> 02:08:10,160
Speaker 1: for you guys. Um watching the Patriots game based on

2671
02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:13,400
Speaker 1: like previous years and stuff like that. I was always

2672
02:08:13,520 --> 02:08:15,640
Speaker 1: I always craze even close games, and it gets the

2673
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:19,480
Speaker 1: second half and all of Belichick's adjustments and Brady's adjustments

2674
02:08:19,520 --> 02:08:22,800
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and the way the defense just

2675
02:08:23,400 --> 02:08:26,640
Speaker 1: smothered everything that they tried to do and made Brady

2676
02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:30,080
Speaker 1: look as old as he is was absolutely amazing to see.

2677
02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 1: But um on Josh Allen, Um, I feel like um

2678
02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:39,440
Speaker 1: and it's kind of accepted, Like the injuries and running

2679
02:08:39,440 --> 02:08:42,160
Speaker 1: outs of the pocket putting himself at risk, plus the

2680
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:46,560
Speaker 1: interceptions kind of go into the into the same category

2681
02:08:46,600 --> 02:08:48,920
Speaker 1: in the same reasoning, Like he feels like he has

2682
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:51,120
Speaker 1: to do a lot and he ends up trying to

2683
02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:54,720
Speaker 1: do a lot on his own to to help the

2684
02:08:54,800 --> 02:08:56,480
Speaker 1: team and to kind of pick up the team and

2685
02:08:56,560 --> 02:09:01,720
Speaker 1: carry it. And UM, my concern if without him and

2686
02:09:01,880 --> 02:09:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe with the way that they've built the wide receiver

2687
02:09:05,160 --> 02:09:08,200
Speaker 1: corps with a lot of smaller guys, really shifty guys

2688
02:09:08,200 --> 02:09:14,000
Speaker 1: and stuff, but there's not that that big giant game breakings. Um,

2689
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what I mean, the guy

2690
02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:20,200
Speaker 1: that sure I got you when Barkley, When Barkley comes in,

2691
02:09:20,280 --> 02:09:22,560
Speaker 1: there's not that guy in there that is going to

2692
02:09:22,640 --> 02:09:25,600
Speaker 1: be open, who's going who's going to be a safety

2693
02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:28,920
Speaker 1: linket that he can get to that you know, it

2694
02:09:29,080 --> 02:09:31,400
Speaker 1: makes me nervous when Barkley's in there that you know,

2695
02:09:31,560 --> 02:09:33,480
Speaker 1: he has the experience, and he'll spread the ball around.

2696
02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:35,440
Speaker 1: He'll get the ball where it needs to go. But

2697
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:37,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be inside yard chunks and it's not gonna

2698
02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:40,480
Speaker 1: be that. I don't know. It's just we can win

2699
02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:42,200
Speaker 1: that way too, especially when you got a defense the

2700
02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:44,240
Speaker 1: way the Bills play. But I hear what you're saying,

2701
02:09:44,720 --> 02:09:47,920
Speaker 1: Um and your earlier point. I'm trying to follow along,

2702
02:09:47,960 --> 02:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Chris about Josh. You're right about his faults, and most

2703
02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:55,360
Speaker 1: Bills fans will give you his list what they perceive

2704
02:09:55,400 --> 02:09:57,560
Speaker 1: as his list of faults, which I think, by the way,

2705
02:09:57,600 --> 02:09:59,960
Speaker 1: he is outweighed by his benefits and his his attribute

2706
02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:03,240
Speaker 1: It's all the stuff that rookie quarterbacks are and who

2707
02:10:03,360 --> 02:10:06,640
Speaker 1: rookie who they are and what they do right. It's inexperience.

2708
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:09,040
Speaker 1: If he plays, if he starts on Sunday, it'll be

2709
02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:11,920
Speaker 1: a sixteenth NFL start. It'll be the completion of a

2710
02:10:12,040 --> 02:10:14,640
Speaker 1: year's worth of starts. And you'd have to be foolish

2711
02:10:14,760 --> 02:10:16,800
Speaker 1: not to see the development that has come in those

2712
02:10:16,840 --> 02:10:19,800
Speaker 1: sixteen games, and think about the development over the next

2713
02:10:19,840 --> 02:10:24,400
Speaker 1: sixteen games and all the again, it's not an apologist

2714
02:10:24,440 --> 02:10:27,880
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen, But all his issues I think Steve

2715
02:10:27,960 --> 02:10:31,560
Speaker 1: are related to inexperience. Right. Also, it's not just that

2716
02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:34,680
Speaker 1: he's inexperienced, but he's also coming in the league as

2717
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:37,640
Speaker 1: a guy who has played at lower levels and had

2718
02:10:37,720 --> 02:10:40,680
Speaker 1: to carry the team. His abilities were what set him

2719
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:43,320
Speaker 1: apart and made him successful. So as a young player,

2720
02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:45,360
Speaker 1: you always kind of tend to lean on that which

2721
02:10:45,400 --> 02:10:47,840
Speaker 1: you have done and had success with before you know,

2722
02:10:47,960 --> 02:10:49,880
Speaker 1: your hero ball comes right, and where you've got like

2723
02:10:50,040 --> 02:10:52,600
Speaker 1: running backs who have always been able to outrun everybody

2724
02:10:52,600 --> 02:10:55,560
Speaker 1: they bounce everything outside, or big backs who think they

2725
02:10:55,600 --> 02:10:57,680
Speaker 1: can run run up right up inside the tackles and

2726
02:10:57,800 --> 02:11:03,200
Speaker 1: always be successful, or or other in other situations where

2727
02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:06,000
Speaker 1: you've always had you've got it. You're a dB and

2728
02:11:06,080 --> 02:11:08,920
Speaker 1: you've always been able to outrun everybody by a significant margin,

2729
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:12,240
Speaker 1: so you think you've got ketch up speed. All the

2730
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:14,560
Speaker 1: young every young player in the NFL comes in thinking

2731
02:11:14,800 --> 02:11:19,360
Speaker 1: certain things about themselves, and Josh's play lends itself to

2732
02:11:19,400 --> 02:11:21,120
Speaker 1: a guy who's had to play hero ball to be

2733
02:11:21,160 --> 02:11:23,440
Speaker 1: successful at lower levels. So they got to get that

2734
02:11:23,560 --> 02:11:25,480
Speaker 1: out of it. All right, we're gonna take a break.

2735
02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:27,800
Speaker 1: We're back one goes Live, presented by Kalaida Health from

2736
02:11:27,800 --> 02:11:38,880
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studios. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. So what

2737
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:41,360
Speaker 1: do we learned from today's show? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2738
02:11:41,400 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2739
02:11:44,520 --> 02:11:46,680
Speaker 1: Fridays our Great co Sell Day and we talked to

2740
02:11:46,800 --> 02:11:50,480
Speaker 1: Great Go Seal of NFL NFL Films about Bills linebacker

2741
02:11:50,760 --> 02:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Matt Mlano. Here's what he had to say. I love

2742
02:11:54,840 --> 02:11:57,360
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, and I think both of their inside stack

2743
02:11:57,400 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 1: backers have taken big steps forward this year, both from

2744
02:12:00,240 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Matt Milano. Matt Milano to me is as

2745
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:06,720
Speaker 1: sidelines to sideline range player. He covers tight ends. He

2746
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:09,400
Speaker 1: does that well. I know he got beat by White

2747
02:12:09,480 --> 02:12:11,640
Speaker 1: on the wheel route this week, but it was not

2748
02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:14,120
Speaker 1: bad coverage. It was just a great throw, so we

2749
02:12:14,200 --> 02:12:17,640
Speaker 1: can cover backs and tight ends. As I said, plays

2750
02:12:17,680 --> 02:12:21,800
Speaker 1: with great range, excellent play speed. I think they're two

2751
02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:25,120
Speaker 1: inside backers are are emerging as as as good a

2752
02:12:25,240 --> 02:12:27,760
Speaker 1: duo as there is in the league. And I really

2753
02:12:27,880 --> 02:12:31,160
Speaker 1: enjoy watching the defense. It's such a fundamentally sound defense.

2754
02:12:31,440 --> 02:12:33,480
Speaker 1: They have a great feel for what the opponent does.

2755
02:12:33,840 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 1: I love the way they jumped all the routs by

2756
02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:39,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots this week, not giving up those shorter quick throws.

2757
02:12:40,200 --> 02:12:42,560
Speaker 1: They like about what the Bills did. Steve your prediction.

2758
02:12:42,680 --> 02:12:45,600
Speaker 1: Sunday's final score Bills Tennessee twenty to nine, Buffalo. I

2759
02:12:45,720 --> 02:12:48,320
Speaker 1: got twenty one to thirteen Buffalo. I think it's gonna

2760
02:12:48,320 --> 02:12:50,200
Speaker 1: be a low scoring, pretty good game too. I think

2761
02:12:50,200 --> 02:12:52,680
Speaker 1: we'll have a defensive score to the Bills. Who can't wait?

2762
02:12:53,440 --> 02:12:55,960
Speaker 1: Can't wait? Nine plus, Hey, come on back to us

2763
