22
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: in an intelligent and knowledgeable fashion. Steve, I hear somewhere

23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: thereabouts I had to get up at the crack of

24
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: dawn today to take my kid to the airport to

25
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: fly back to school and stuff. That is an ungodly hour.

26
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: It really is in every way, shape and form I have.

27
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: I have a tremendous amount of respect for farmers who

28
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: generally are awake at those hours. Um, but usually not

29
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: this time of year. Am I right about that? Like

30
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: wintertime harvest, the hay's in the bar and the harvest's done,

31
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: we kind of get a farmer longer sleeping hours. This

32
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: time farmer can sleep in, but a rancher cannot. Oh well, yeah,

33
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: because you've got animals you got a care of on

34
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: every day after so all that's yeah, so there there

35
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: are thank you for making that distinction. Yeah and yeah,

36
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: I get it, and I was. It does seem to

37
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: me that there's some sort of I don't know whether

38
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: it's a window, like an overlap where five am is

39
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: like that's like in the early in the morning, that's

40
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: like first thing in the morning, four thirty am, that's

41
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the night that you know what I

42
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: mean the cross before I got out early. This morning

43
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: time four thirty is like, yeah, nobody gets up at

44
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: four thirty unless you got one of those jobs that

45
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: start that, Like you get off at like midnight, right,

46
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I yeah. And the thing the thing

47
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: about getting up that early, it's even harder this time

48
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: of year because it's still pitch black. Like you get

49
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: up around five five thirty in June, it's right, there's

50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: some yeah, there's some light on the horizon, and so

51
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: you're at you don't it doesn't feel as as much

52
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: of a listen trudge out of your bed because you're like, wow,

53
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: the sun's coming up, like it's almost morning. So that's

54
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: not bad. Well, this time of year, it's just like,

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: oh what are you doing? It gets think about it

56
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: this time of year. It gets to be like what

57
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: time is it? Man, I've been up forever. Oh it's

58
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: it's eight fifteen. It's been dark for nine hours. It

59
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: feels like right, yeah, I mean we get like, oh

60
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: the days are so short, they're getting longer now they

61
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: think about that. Let that just spend that positive on

62
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: our minds. But yeah, it's like eight o'clock at night

63
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: and it feels like it has been dark for hours

64
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: hours and in the summer, it's sun still up at

65
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: eight o'clock. Yeah, that's why summer is my favorite season.

66
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: And it's not even close. Better weather, longer daylight hours. Yeah,

67
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: shorts and T shirts, get all of it, man, I'm

68
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: right there with me. Up. We gotta get to Bill's

69
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: practice updates, presented by Lee Coam Lake Erie College of

70
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: Osteopathic Medicine. On the good news front, we did see

71
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: Stefan Digs out there at practice today. Did not practice

72
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: yesterday due to illness, but he was out there with

73
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the team, so that's a good sign.

74
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: So I'm intached. Morse out there for a second straight day.

75
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: He said yesterday that he intends to play Monday night,

76
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: coming out of concussion and protocol. And we'll have some

77
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: comments from Mitch. He addressed the media yesterday, but you

78
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: guys ran out of time on the show yesterday to

79
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: get to him, so we'll try to get some of

80
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: him on for you to listen to. Had some interesting comments,

81
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, regarding his concussion history and you know, moving

82
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: forward playing again all of that stuff. So pretty interesting

83
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: stuff from Mitch who's he's pretty deep dude to begin with.

84
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's very introspective, just comes across as a

85
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: guy who's very self aware while at the same time

86
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: always deflecting credit to others. So some interesting comments from him.

87
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: Did not see Jordan Poyer out there during the media

88
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: viewing portion of practice. Now we know, Steve that Poyer

89
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: is one of those veteran players who coach McDermott has

90
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: even said himself can get away with minimal practice during

91
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: the week and still be good enough to play in

92
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: a game and execute a game plan just because, you know,

93
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: six years in this system kind of helps. Yeah, they

94
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: trust him even in minimal reps to be ready to

95
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: play and do whatever he needs to do to execute

96
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: the game. And he's been in the same system for

97
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: this is sixth years, so he's you know, he should.

98
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing. And it's at this time

99
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: of year we've seen it. This team and this coaching

100
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: staff have done a really good job of making sure

101
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: they're kind of crescendoing, you know, getting better, and they're

102
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of peaking when the playoffs starts. So getting these

103
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: guys fresh, giving him a couple of days off and

104
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: let's face it has been a long week as well

105
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: already because of the Saturday game and then before that

106
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: they had a Saturday game, all of that stuff going on,

107
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: so they storm the storm and they had all the

108
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: way till yesterday off for the most part. So it's,

109
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's it's setting up for them

110
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: to you know, hit the playoffs at a dead run.

111
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: Bookie bash him out there as well as he's trying

112
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: to return from the cafe injury, so he seems to

113
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: be trending in the right direction. We'll wait for the

114
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Thursday or sorry, the Friday injury report, which is essentially

115
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: the Thursday injury report on a Monday night week, and

116
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: get the latest participation report from practice today for all

117
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: of those guys on the injury list. I didn't spot

118
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones, but it's possible I could have missed him.

119
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: He's trying to come back from a hamstring injury. Good

120
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: is he? Christian Benford back out yes and getting work

121
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: his twenty one day windows and we spoke about that yesterday.

122
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: Don't win that when it's your hand. Well, he had

123
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: he had an oblique Oh is that what that was?

124
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: I was earlier in the year his oblique. He busted

125
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: his hand in the Miami game in Week three, came

126
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: back and healed up after that to play. Now he's

127
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: got an oblique injury. That's and it must have been

128
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: pretty serious. If they put him on IR, that meant

129
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: they were pretty confident he was going to miss four games,

130
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: which it's been four games now, so we'll see where

131
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: that goes in terms of a roster decision for him.

132
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: This week's game sponsor is the Bflo Store. The Bflo

133
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: Store is the official retailer of the Buffalo Bills. We

134
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: already know the playoff clinching scenario for Buffalo. If they

135
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: win and Kansas City loses, the top seat is locked up,

136
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: and we talked about that earlier in the week as well.

137
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: There is something on the line for the Bengals in

138
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: this game as well. On Monday night, they get a

139
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: win and I think that, no, it doesn't. I needed

140
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: to win and a Baltimore the loss to clinch the

141
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: AFC North title. I think that's right. They got to

142
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: play Baltimore again and right now, Baltimore to right the

143
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: division standings are in the North at Cincinnati Baltimore. Cincinnati's

144
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: eleven and four, Baltimore's ten and five. So if Cincinnati

145
00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: wins one more UM game and Baltimore loss, and here's

146
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: the problem that they're both in the playoffs automatic, they're

147
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: all in. They're both in Baltimore at the Wildcard or

148
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnati at the Wildcard one or the other. The division

149
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: champion will be decided on week eighteen between the two

150
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, I did hear that. Originally we were

151
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: supposed to get Giants cults here in Buffalo this weekend,

152
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: not so much on WIVB Channel four, our broadcast partner,

153
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: and that has been flipped apparently locally. Now in Buffalo,

154
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo television market will get Miami at New England,

155
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: which is obviously a big game as far as the

156
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: wild Card race for them and the Jets are concerned.

157
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: If Miami wins and the Jets lose at Seattle later

158
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: in the day on Sunday, Miami has clinched a playoff earth,

159
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: so that one bears watching. Obviously, New England is trying

160
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: to stay in the race. They want to beat Miami,

161
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: and Miami will be starting Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback. Steve,

162
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: what happens? What do you think the perception or the

163
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: perspective is and how much does it change if Teddy

164
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Bridgewater looks almost as effective as Tua does within the

165
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: scope of this offense and they win the game over

166
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: New England. I mean, I realize it's just a one

167
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: off here, But no, Bridgewater, I'm not saying he's going

168
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: to supplant Tua as the starting quarterback. What I'm asking is,

169
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: does a solid performance by him convince more people that

170
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: it's McDaniel's scheme that is the key here, not necessarily

171
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: the guy pulling the trigger. Well, it's certainly evidence, but

172
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: I think you're when you talk about people's opinions, some

173
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: of them are never going to be swayed. Yeah, I

174
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: think the only opinions of the matter are the ones

175
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: at the top of the Dolphins organization. They don't believe

176
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater is the quarterback that Tua is. I don't think. No,

177
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: he would be. He wouldn't be the backup, he would

178
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: be the starter if they felt differently, Well, unless somebody

179
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: at the top doesn't want to, you know, draft Tuah

180
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: and then have him sit. I'm yeah, you're always gonna

181
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: have that with Tuah. You're always gonna have it where

182
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: because a guy like Teddy Bridgewater matches him physically in

183
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: his abilities, his arm strength, his mobility, all of that

184
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: is the same. They're the same guy. The difference between

185
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: Tua and Teddy Bridgewater is his knowledge of the offense,

186
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: is decision making, and his ability to throw accurately. So

187
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think it's a smart move for Miami,

188
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: and I know you want to get the best guy possible.

189
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: Smart move Miami by Miami to get a guy like

190
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: Bridgewater who mimics their starter. We saw it last year.

191
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: We thought I thought Trubisky was kind of a mimic

192
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: with Josh. You know, I don't think case Keenum is that.

193
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: But he brings he brings his own skill set and

194
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: he owned his own resume to the tables. That's pretty extensive.

195
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: So I think it serves Miami well. But no, you're

196
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna I don't think anybody changes their opinion. There's certainly

197
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear it on social media because that's what

198
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: it is. But I don't think rationally, if Teddy Bridgewater

199
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: comes in and lights up the New England Patriots, people

200
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: will chalk it up more to the Patriots than they

201
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: will Teddy a good chance of that. The injury report

202
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: for the Bengals pretty short this week. Lyle Collins, their

203
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: right tackle, is listed as a non participant. He's expected

204
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: to get put on IR at some point this week

205
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: after suffering season ending knee injury last week, so that'll

206
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: be a loss for them on their offensive line. Sam Hubbard,

207
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: one of their starting defensive ends, miss last week's game

208
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: with a calf injury. Trying to come back this week.

209
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: He was limited in practice on Thursday. We'll wait and

210
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: see what the Friday injury report holds for the Bengals,

211
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: but Hubbard appears to be trending in the right direction

212
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: to return sooner than anticipated because head coach Zach Taylor

213
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati originally called his injury a week to week

214
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: injury and then he changed that today today on Tuesday

215
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: this week, so it seems as though Hubbard has a

216
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: shot to play. We had Bengals play by play man

217
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: Dan Horde on earlier this week on our Bills by

218
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: the Numbers podcast, which is out now on any of

219
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: the podcast platforms you may listen to, and he was

220
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: unsure if Hubbard would be able to get back. I

221
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: wonder if he plays his full compliment of snaps. Maybe

222
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen coming off this calf injury. We'll have

223
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: to just wait and see on Monday night. It's one

224
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: of the soft tissues hard, particularly legs, Like if your

225
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: calf or your hamstring, your quaters, he's got a guy

226
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: leaning on him while he's trying to drive. The guy

227
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: could commence it, Yeah, I'm gonna give it a go. Well,

228
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, two plays in, once the adrenaline kicks in,

229
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: he could be out for the game. And then now

230
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: you got this roster spot and a guy in the

231
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: rotation who's out, and unless you keep an extra guy

232
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: up just in case, and even then you're short someplace else.

233
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: The roster spots are really valuable on game day, and

234
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: I think in this day and age, coaches are really

235
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: hesitant to have a guys say yeah, I'm gonna give

236
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: it a shot. Well, what if you can't go? Then

237
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: there that hurts? You know, Then you're you got a

238
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna that's out of the rotation. Plus you're short, man,

239
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: you're shorthanded. You don't even have a body to stick

240
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: in there unless you you know so, Yeah, soft tissues hard,

241
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: particularly to evaluate. Yeah, so it's just something to keep

242
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: an eye on heading into the game on Monday night. A.

243
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: Is he up and playing, which it seems like he's

244
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: trending in that direction. B How much does he play

245
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: or do they have to use his backup cam sample

246
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: much like they did last week against New England. Steve.

247
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but apparently earlier

248
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: or actually it was yesterday in Tampa Bay, a helicopter

249
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: crashed into the bay and Buck's backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert

250
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: and his brothers were on jet skis nearby where the

251
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: crash happened, and they were apparently instrumental in the rescue,

252
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: like they rescued people. There were four people out of

253
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: the crash. Yeah, four people in the chopper and they

254
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: all survived, but with help of Blaine Gabbert and his

255
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: friends who are happening to be at the round on

256
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: jet skis. Yes, his brothers were with him. I think

257
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: it was what was it in forty feet of water

258
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: or something like that. The bay is not terrible. Yeah, yeah,

259
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: that was. I mean that's crazy. Yeah, that's good for them. Yeah,

260
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: good job Blaine Gabbert. I mean, man, that was something else. Um.

261
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: Eagles head coach Nick Siriani has yet to determine the

262
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. That's because

263
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurtz has an injured throwing show older and remains

264
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: day to day. Um, Steve, you, I mean these guys

265
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: pretty much have the one seed locked up. I mean

266
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: they could. I mean it's not clinched yet, but they're

267
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: pretty much there. Right. Are you you playing him this week?

268
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm probably waiting right, like, get that thing as healthy

269
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: as possible for the playoffs. Minace, listen, Minace, yeah, right,

270
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing if you're Syrianna? Are you

271
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: playing him? If he's like eighty percent? Absolutely not? Absolutely not.

272
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: Mit you throw it through for over three hundred yards

273
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys last week. It's not like you're got

274
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: to throw a slug out there. That's right, that's right.

275
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: And Philly is playing who are they playing? Where are they? Oh?

276
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: Where they can't? There they are They're playing the Saints,

277
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: and there's six and nine the same. Min You can

278
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: beat the same, you can beat the same. You gotta

279
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: think that you're at home. Come on, you're not playing

280
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: Hurts this week. You gotta get him as healthy as

281
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: you can. You know, the games that are more important

282
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: down the line here. Well, and that's right, that's right.

283
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: The team and the team that is, uh, that's chasing you.

284
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota they're playing You gotta look at the schedule and

285
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: you kind of cross reference that they're playing green Bay

286
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: at green Bay. Minnesota ain't gonna win that game, right,

287
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: You're talking about the team that's closest. That's the closest.

288
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: They've got the chance at the one seed. They're the

289
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: only team with a chance at the one seed. I

290
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: just you know, San Francisco's eleven and fourth. They you know,

291
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: you'd have to lose both games if you're Philly to

292
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: risk losing the one in my opinion, losing the one seed,

293
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: losing the one seed. San Francisco is the next one,

294
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: and you gotta think probably San Francisco is gonna win out.

295
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: They've got Las Vegas and Arizona left on their schedule,

296
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: so the Niners are going to be thirdeen and four,

297
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: But it won't matter if Philly finishes, you know, twelve

298
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: and three. So I yeah, I'm it's an interesting don't

299
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: play don't play him? Yeah, come home? I on the

300
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: big prize. What are you doing? I realize it's a

301
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: week to week league, but man, I wouldn't I wouldn't

302
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: have him with I wouldn't have him within forty feet

303
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: of the field when they play this week. So yeah,

304
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: uh so that's a that's around the NFL, which is

305
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: brought to you by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system

306
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. We wanted to bring to you

307
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: some sound from this week's comments from the players and

308
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: you know, just give you their thoughts on this gigantic game.

309
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a big game, Steve, I don't think so,

310
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if there's a bigger one

311
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: this year. So in this edition of Sound Bids, presented

312
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: by Tim Horton's head coach Sean McDermott, quarterback Josh Allen,

313
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: tackle Dion Dawkins and others talk about preparing for this

314
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: massive AFC matchup against the Bengals on Monday Night football. Yeah.

315
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: I think that's really what it comes down to is

316
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: two good teams led by two really good quarterbacks. And

317
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: you know, we just haven't played him, which is probably

318
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: the unusual part, a little bit like we've played other

319
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: teams multiple times. We just we have not played them

320
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: other than a few years ago. So you know they're

321
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: a good team led by led by Joe Burrow obviously,

322
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: and you watch him in college. He's been successful. You

323
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: watch him now in the NFL. He's been successful. So

324
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: they got a really strong team. Well, I would be

325
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: blind if if we didn't see what possible implications this

326
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: game can play. Does that change anything for us how

327
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: we how we do things around here. No, but it

328
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of heightens your senses. I mean, that's that's one

329
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: of the four goals that coach McDermott sets out for

330
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: us each and every year. It's make the playoffs when

331
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: the division secure home field. That's by getting the one

332
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: seed and obviously winning the World Championship, the Super Bowl

333
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: and taking it one game at a time, just trying

334
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: to trying to control we can control, and that's going

335
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: out obviously having a good week of practice and trying

336
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: to execute against a really hot Bengals team right now,

337
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: that's playing some really good football. You don't come across

338
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: the team with those three receivers like those like they

339
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: have in the yards that they've built up collectively, they're

340
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: a heck of a team across the board. One of

341
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: the best defenses we've seen. Their safeties are pretty incredible,

342
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: disguising coverage, great d line up, front linebackers that could run.

343
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: So again, just another super talented defense that we've watched

344
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: a lot of film. But it's not a ton of

345
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: different things that what we do from week to week.

346
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: They got guys that can play inside, outside, you know

347
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. They could track the ball down the field.

348
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: So it's it's a very unique for us. But you know,

349
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: we just gotta take it one out of time. It

350
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: feels special. But I almost feel like that every week,

351
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So just like you said,

352
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: it's it's another game for me, you know what I'm saying.

353
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: Each each week I come with the same mentality, is

354
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: trying to be the best, trying to dominate in and

355
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: trying to win the game. Um, guys are really excited

356
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: for this game just because you know, it's it's a

357
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: it's a way for us to prove ourselves, you know

358
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. We played against some good teams, but

359
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: this is it's a great team. H Yeah, I mean,

360
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: this is this is what you work so hard for

361
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: throughout the you know, the body of the season is

362
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: to come down to the stretch here and play these games. Um,

363
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of respect for for the Bengals.

364
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: They are the defending AFC champions obviously, and represented the

365
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: AFC in the Super Bowl, so uh and came within

366
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: a whisker winning that game, right, So, um, you know

367
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: it's a good opponent. They won seventh straight. Every game

368
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: is a huge game, and you know this one is

369
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: a huge game because it's that the next game. But hey,

370
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, stars on stars, you know, giants on giants,

371
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. You know, I mean,

372
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: it's just another game and we have to take it

373
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: for and what it is and understand what's what's at stake,

374
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: and you know, just hit the field with Buffalo Bill's ball.

375
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: So those are soundbits presented by Tim Horton's and you know,

376
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: not surprised, Steve. You got guys trying to downplay the

377
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: significance of the game. But I thought Mitch Morris was

378
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: very self effacing saying, hey, I'd be lying to you

379
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: if we didn't know the added incentives that exist in

380
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: this game, because they know winning this week just about

381
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: punches their ticket to get a buy for the first

382
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. They still yeah, I mean they

383
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: still got to win two remaining games. Yeah, but yeah,

384
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: it's big and they know it. There's no question about it.

385
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: It's playoff type of game for both these clubs because

386
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: it a win for both of them. Really in hants

387
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: is their ability to get to the super Bowl once

388
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs start. It doesn't mean anything for next week

389
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: Week eighteen if either one of them loses it, but

390
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: they gotta you know, they're gonna be The Bills won't

391
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: fall below the three seed. The Bengals will. If they

392
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: lose this game and lose against Baltimore next weekend, they'll

393
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: be the five seed. It's a big swing. You're on

394
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: the road allah for the entire playoffs unless one of

395
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: the six or seven seed upsets two time two teams.

396
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: So you're it's big for them as well. Um, there

397
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: you have it. I mean, that's it, doesn't it Just

398
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: we're looking at the graphic. The Bills are tied with

399
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, that they got their head to head and

400
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: that's it. They got to stay ahead of the Chiefs

401
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: for the one seed, and the Chiefs play the Denver

402
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: Broncos with an interim head coach this week at home,

403
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: and then they play the Las Vegas Raiders, who have

404
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: benched their starting quarterback. Yeah, I to finish the season.

405
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Like Derek Carr saying

406
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: I'd like to be away from the team now, he

407
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: clearly feels like he's been double crossed here. Yeah, you're

408
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: benching him. I'm not playing good soldier here, boy, He's

409
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: he's out the door. So to me, I think Derek

410
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: Carr knows he's as good as gone. Um. I think.

411
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: And Josh McDaniels, here's a question. You got two games

412
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: left and the Raiders are already in the top ten

413
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: of next year's draft with where they currently sit. Do

414
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: you really think that Josh McDaniels thinks he's got a

415
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: better chance of winning with Jared Stidham at quarterback instead

416
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: of Derek Carr. I don't think he does. Do you

417
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: think this is a tank plan? No, because you're you're

418
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: moving there. No, you don't. It's money. If they released

419
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: Dave Derek Carr before just after the Super Bowl, they

420
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: save themselves guaranteed money of about thirty or forty millions,

421
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: and they need to save money that's it, right, that's

422
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: the move. Well, yeah, but you don't have to bench

423
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: Derek Carter do that. You can play him these last

424
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: two games and then still cut him in March. No

425
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: skin off your nose in terms of money. I'm just

426
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: I'm wondering they're in the top trade an injured guy though. Okay,

427
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: all right, that's a valid point. But I'm wondering because

428
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: you got all those teams that are so tightly packed,

429
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, six and nine, seven and eight. You lose

430
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: a couple of games at the end, you could slide

431
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: up the draft board pretty quick, Like you could go

432
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: from a top ten pick to a top five pick. Sure,

433
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: that's big if you need a quarterback. Right, you're talking

434
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: about you know, the Raiders moving up. Yeah, I mean,

435
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: you'll lose the last two games. They're in the top

436
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: ten right now with the draft with their current record, right,

437
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: you lose two more games in a tightly packed league

438
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: with I mean you got like nine teams that are

439
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: between five and ten and seven and eight, right, but

440
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: you lose two games and you've got your own top

441
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: ten pick and you got Derek Carter trade. Okay, and

442
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: you go down the list. But but let go down

443
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: the list, quick thumbnail list of teams that are gonna

444
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: need a new quarterback next year. All right, let me

445
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: have it. The Jets, the Saints, the Colts, Tampa Bay,

446
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: the Giants, probably Carolina for sure, Tennessee yep, New England, Yeah,

447
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: they can't pay Tanna right, New England, Washington, Atlanta, and

448
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: of course Vegas. What about Seattle. You can even throw

449
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Seattle on there. Yeah maybe if Seattle makes yeah right Gino,

450
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, but you know, what are you gonna do Seattle?

451
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: So there's a ton of Now go to those teams

452
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, who's not gonna be in the top

453
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: ten or who will you know, be willing to trade

454
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: you assets for your for your guy Jets, Jets, because

455
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: I see the Jets, Indianapolis, Atlanta. You think Derek Cark

456
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: could play in Atlanta because Atlanta is gonna get a

457
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: high pick. Think Houston. Houston could be the landing spot

458
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: for him. Car Go back to where his brother got

459
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: drafted first over going to that organization, with the way

460
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: that thing went, well it is, Yeah, it's almost got

461
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: his brother killed down there. Well, seventy six sacks in

462
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: one year. Well, I mean that exactly the picture of model.

463
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: David Carr was ever gonna be the guy. Well, okay,

464
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: they didn't do a lot to help him. Well they

465
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: outside of Andre Johnson, they haven't done much of anything.

466
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: I now, Derek Carr may not have the choice if

467
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: he's getting traded. He's got a no trade but he

468
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: oh he does. I didn't know that, but yes, okay,

469
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: so he'll probably sign. I think he's Houston. I don't

470
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: know if he would he veto the Jets or was

471
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: he would? You think Washington he wants to go play

472
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: for Washington. Think he would play for Washington. I think

473
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: that's a because well, Rivera is there though, and you

474
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: have some measure of stability, and there's a lot of

475
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: talent to work with there. So to me, just from

476
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: a pure on the field talent and head coaching perspective,

477
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: Terry McLaury, it's better. I don't know. Yeah, Terry mclaurin's

478
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: like an all pro all right, um, and you got

479
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: dot you got the kid Dots in there. He's a

480
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: good player. Yeah. So I mean there's some talent there

481
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: on the Washington roster that I think would put them

482
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: a couple of pegs higher. Than a Houston team that

483
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 1: right now has won one game, may draft a quarterback

484
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: and is going to be looking for another head coach. Yes,

485
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: that's true. We've and we got on this because we're

486
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, the one seed and how the

487
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna bench Derek car and they got to

488
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs coming up next week. It's interesting what's

489
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: going on in Vegas because of the decision making. Well,

490
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: and they have money problems too, as we have pointed

491
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: out on this show, because they're still paying John Gruten

492
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 1: ten million a year. I mean, they're not flush with

493
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: cash right now from what we've heard, right because they're

494
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: paying a whole staff you know that isn't working right now,

495
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: or at least most of them aren't. Rich Bisacchi is

496
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: working in Green Bay, the former interim coach. But yeah,

497
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: the money is not let's just say it's they're not

498
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: as in the black as people might think. I see

499
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: what you did there. Yeah, but anyway, that's so that

500
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: to me is not about ten anking. It's about it's finances. Well. Yeah,

501
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: and they're not going to sign a veteran quarterback because

502
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: that cost too much money. You're trying to save money.

503
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: By dumping car overboard. They're gonna have to draft one,

504
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: so they want to get as high in the draft

505
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: as they can. You draft a kid number one overall,

506
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: not overall, but you draft kid number one in the

507
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: top ten pick. You can give him. That gives you

508
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: a whole year or maybe two. Yeah, to get him

509
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: on point Ye buys McDaniel's time. Not that they're gonna

510
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: fire him anyway. The last thing that can afford to

511
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: do is pay another coach. It's not worth another staff. Yeah,

512
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: so he's not going anywhere. So you throw car overboard.

513
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: You save money in March when you move him, and

514
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: then if you can lose these last two games, the

515
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: chairs did him at quarterback, which probably enhances your chances

516
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: of losing the games, you move up on the draft

517
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: board without any cost to you. Right right now. That

518
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: right now, Vegas is twelve in the AFC. It's six

519
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: and nine. There's the Cleveland six and nine as well,

520
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: but Vegas has a tiebreaker Indianapolis, Denver, Houston. Then at

521
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: the other the other side of it, you got a

522
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: three and twelve. You got four teams behind you there

523
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: and two other teams tied with you. Carolina in New

524
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: Orleans at six and this years like right at eight nine,

525
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: somewhere there in the draft. So you case you're eleven,

526
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: you lose to the last two games, by playing Jared's

527
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: statement quarterback, you might be in the top five. And

528
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: that's the difference between getting a franchise guy and not.

529
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: I think this is totally planned. Totally planned. Well, I

530
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: think they were hoping that car would play better, particularly

531
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: when they brought Davante Adams over Josh McDaniels. And Josh

532
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: McDaniels sells himself by saying, listen, I can make anybody

533
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback, which I have yet to see

534
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: evidence of it. So yeah, there you go. But he's

535
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. You're right, McDaniels is going to be

536
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders head coach for the next two or three years,

537
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: at least fourteen months. Oh you're only giving a year

538
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: and change. Yeah, yeah, all right, Well we'll put that

539
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: on the white board and see what happens at year.

540
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: If I put it on the whiteboard, it'll never happen. Well,

541
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten one of those right yet. So we

542
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: are passed the break. We gotta take a break here.

543
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will hear from Bill Center

544
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse, who is out of the concussion protocol planning

545
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: to play Monday Night. We'll get his thoughts on what

546
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: his last couple of weeks have been like going into

547
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: the protocol and as we know, it's not his first

548
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: rodeo dealing with that. Mitch Morris coming your way next year.

549
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: On One Bill's Live, presented by Kalat of Health, It's

550
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

551
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. We wanted to pass along some comments from

552
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: Bill Center. Mitch Morris obviously out of the concussion protocol,

553
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: which is good news, planning to play Monday night, but

554
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 1: really kind of provided some insight on how he and

555
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: his family for that matter, have navigated their way through

556
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Knowing this was not the first time. Here

557
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: is Mitch, just start how you how you feeling so good?

558
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: So real good? Uh? You know, it was one of

559
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: those things that the guys kind of went through a

560
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: tumultuous travel plan and I was on the the inverted

561
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: into that which was stuck at home. So while the

562
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: guys were trying to get at home, I was trying

563
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: to get the hell out of the house. Um, but

564
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: besides that, feel really good yet some qualities time with

565
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: the family, got to recoup, and you know, really etching

566
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: to get back out there and play some football. What

567
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: was the reaction when you first heard of hitting the

568
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl? Now, well, I thought they had misspelled Matt

569
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: Molana's name on the piece of paper. I'm still under

570
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: the impression that they did. You know, it's one of

571
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: those things that it was a great honor privilege. M

572
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: That's something I don't take lightly. I appreciate my peers

573
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: and anyone else who voted me on. I think this

574
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: year was the year that I should have gotten it.

575
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: Probably not, but um, it was regardless, very cool. Uh.

576
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that I have guys around

577
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: me that make me look a lot better than I am.

578
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: I have a quarterback that makes me look a lot

579
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: better than I am, and um, so it's one of

580
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: those things that's kind of hard to comprehend, but very

581
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: happy in the family's elated emotion. Was it like going

582
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: to getting your mystery and then being able to clear it? Yeah,

583
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: I mean it was. Yeah. Right when it happened, he

584
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: knew that I was concussed and h None of the

585
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: nice thing was I understood the process, the program, understood

586
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: that all the people I had talked to, the experience

587
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: as I had gone through the past. Um, you know,

588
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: at first it was a little emotional, but you kind

589
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: of get out of that and then you get into

590
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: the protocol and you can, you get into the everyday deal.

591
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: You start feeling better. You understand that it's just one

592
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: of those things. It's part of my story and my

593
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: football story, feeling healthy. They're not gonna put me out

594
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: there unless I am uh did everything I had to

595
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: do and we're back out there. And I had a

596
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: lot of fun out there today and um really enjoyed

597
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: the day. Mitch. You were wearing the Guardian cat out

598
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: of practice, saw that on your helmet, and why do

599
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: guys that? I mean, it was something I'd been doing.

600
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: It's something that I continue to do through training camp

601
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: and um, you know, as as as a year it progressed.

602
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: We've gotten less and less contact and when we wore pads,

603
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: I always wear it and UM, you know, now you're

604
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: a fresh off protocol, got you gotta we gotta wear it.

605
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: So UM, I just wanted to my head to look

606
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: as big as possible out there. Mitch, you mentioned the

607
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: emotion of it, Um, how hard is it to just

608
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: dismiss that side of it, understanding your history and then

609
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: again pushing through that. Yeah, well, it's part of the

610
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: it's part of the process. You know, you your emotions

611
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: are heightened when when something like this happens. Um. You know,

612
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: it's also frustrating that it's part of your story. But

613
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: that's part of a lot. You know, everyone's got something

614
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: they got to deal with, and I'd had two good

615
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: years of mitigating everything I could, and this is one

616
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: of those things that was just unavoidable. We handled it

617
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: the right way. They were very precautious with me. I

618
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: was very honest with them. Uh, you know, I had

619
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: some you know, conversations with people that I cared about,

620
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: and we just marched on. It felt very comfortable. It

621
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: felt very fortunate to be where I'm at, and felt

622
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: very happy to be back out there and getting to

623
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: continue to compete with the guys. About two years. You

624
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: mentioned the two years of mitigating it, right, not having

625
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: it pop up in some ways did kind of go

626
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: in the back of your head is something that maybe

627
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: you had left behind a little bit or is that

628
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: something that's always you're thinking about. I wouldn't say you're

629
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: always thinking about it, because when you go out there,

630
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: you want to fly around with reckless abandonment. But when

631
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: you're out there, there's only one way to play football,

632
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: and if it's in the back of your mind, then

633
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: you're putting yourself in a you know, disadvantage. Um. You know,

634
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: when I when I signed my extension, my wife and

635
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: I we had some frank conversations. We understood that this

636
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: was something that could pop up again. It did and

637
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: and we we just we kind of dealt with it.

638
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: And um, you know, she was such a true for

639
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: the whole family. It was cool about it, and you know,

640
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: I feel very good and I'm happy to be back

641
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: out here doing this process hoping you cope with such

642
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: an injury of uh. You know, I think for him,

643
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: he was he was just dealing with uh, you know,

644
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: we got a game plan coming up against a good

645
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: Chicago team, and UM, for me, I was mostly working

646
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: with Nate and my coach, and but the conversations we

647
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: have with make coach McDermott were always you know, it

648
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: was never anything besides just getting healthy and we'll see

649
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: it back out there when you're ready, and uh, and

650
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: that's how it kind of worked out. What's it like

651
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: to see somebody used at the peak of their profession

652
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: and have to sit it hard and can watch everybody

653
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: else that you rided ball. Um, yeah, that's a good question.

654
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, injuries and this and this profession are you know,

655
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: it's a hundred hundred percent injury rate. Some of those

656
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: are gonna put you in the back seat. You know.

657
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: It's it's tough when there's a t shirts day, especially

658
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: to see that the guys celebrating stuff. But that was

659
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: their moment. My moment was recovering and uh, you know

660
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: the guys were reached out. It was great and um

661
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: they had a lot of fun and uh, you know

662
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: I come back out here. I knew there was just

663
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: time to just take it one day at a time,

664
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: and so we did. And it was cool this storm

665
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: and know how much is hard go out to the

666
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: community going you know, the tragic glasses that it had. Yeah,

667
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: it was I mean, my wife would give me updates

668
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: every day. Um, you know, it's it's one of those

669
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: things that life is. It's uh, not to get philosophical

670
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: on you guys, but Um, you know, any loss of

671
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: life tragically, it's it's terrible, whether it be you know,

672
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: you know the race related ones earlier this year in Buffalo.

673
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like this community has gone through

674
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: so much, whether it be that, um, you know, Mother

675
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: Nature's really taking a toll on us. But you know,

676
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: this is a city of brotherly love. It's resilient. I

677
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: was at Tops and someone let me use their discount card.

678
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't have a Tops card. It was just like

679
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: little things like that, no idea who I was on

680
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: this So a little acts like that. People really helping people.

681
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: But like you said, you know it's just the people

682
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: getting stuck cars, losing power and stuff. And um, it's

683
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: easy for you when you're in your house and your

684
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: power isn't out and you have a generator something to

685
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: not really wrap your head around it. But you know

686
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: there's there's there's some people that were really you know,

687
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: this is devastating. UM. So, like you said, the heart

688
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: goes out to them and this this community is very resilient.

689
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: That being said, though, it doesn't make it much easier

690
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: when when you have something like that happened. How important

691
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: or nice is it to have guys like Ryan and Greg,

692
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 1: like all these interior guys that if you are missing

693
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: a player, Ryan or you whoever, that everything can kind

694
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: of still flow like it should. Yeah, totally, I think

695
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't understate how much it is how

696
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: nice it is to have guys, you know, veteran dudes

697
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: or guys who have just been there, done that, go

698
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: in understand the game plan, put themselves in a position

699
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: to kind of seamlessly transition in there. I think guys

700
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: like you said GVR Bates moving to center I come

701
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: back in there. That was really cool to see, you know,

702
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: I think you have to command a guy like I

703
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: going through that adversity they did going out there not blanking,

704
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, and going out there and throwing his hands around,

705
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: having a party, and it was fun to see. Did

706
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: you have an idea at all earlier this week that

707
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: you had the potential to clear the protocol? Was it today?

708
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: And um no, I mean we knew the trajectory was

709
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: looking good. We had gone through it, and I had

710
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: seen the secondary. You know, there's so many people you

711
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: have to go see. But that was a few days

712
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: ago that we had cleared that, and you know, the

713
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: next final thing was kind of going through practice, understand

714
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: how that goes, and so the trajectory has been the

715
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: right way, But we also understand that how fickle this

716
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 1: can be, or you know, how it's such a fluid

717
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: situation at times. So we we didn't put any specific

718
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: date on it. That wasn't fair for upstairs or myself

719
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: to do that, but it just kind of the ebbs

720
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: and flows this thing, and just the way it moved

721
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: it worked out well. So that's Mitch Morris addressing the

722
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: media after practice this week. And you're always interested to

723
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: hear a player's perspective after they've gone through what is

724
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: not his first trip through concussion protocol. Where does he

725
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: stand after six documented concussions, which are a lot. I mean,

726
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: let's not make any secret about that, but it seems

727
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: like he and his family are kind of in the

728
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: right place going forward. But yeah, I mean, it's always

729
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: a concern when you're talking about brain injuries, but and

730
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: we don't know the severity of one over another over another.

731
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: We're not the doctors. We're not in the room with him,

732
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: we're not examining him, we're not checking his symptoms. Because

733
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: he got through the protocol in under two weeks. I

734
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: want to say ten days. Right, So it's a five

735
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 1: step process, and theoretically you can do it in five

736
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: days the fastest. Yeah, and we don't know that he

737
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: might have been through it in five days. But the

738
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: the thing they always tell you when you get in,

739
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: at least the way it used to be, and I've

740
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: heard some some people speak to this even since I played,

741
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: is that once you're one hundred percent over a concussion,

742
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: certainly long term is another issue. But theoretically, I don't know,

743
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe the data supports it. They always told us that

744
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: you're no more likely to get another one if you're

745
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: completely healed from the first one. The problem used to be, obviously,

746
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: guys like me and whoever else, you'd get as soon

747
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: as you felt okay, I feel okay. Now you're back in,

748
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: well the same game, Yeah, same game. So the amount

749
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: of time that goes through and the way they check

750
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: it now gives them more tangible evidence that you are

751
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: completely healed, rather than just feeling back closer to your

752
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,479
Speaker 1: old self and you can go in and bang heads again.

753
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: That's the way it was, because he didn't have just

754
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: didn't do that back then. Right, we gotta take a

755
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: break here when we come back. Some interesting comments from

756
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: Bengals slot receiver Tyler Boyd as he assesses Buffalo's defense

757
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: and the quality of their secondary bulletin board material. Oh yeah,

758
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: we'll tell you an next here on one Bill's Live

759
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 1: presented by Collot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. It

760
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,040

Speaker 1: of stuff about how it was, you know, five years ago,

769
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: when there was such a Bills fans had such an

770
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: affection for the Bengals for getting him into the playoffs.

786
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,480

800
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,320

803
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: the realm of spaghetti? What are they doing the thing

804
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: that chili that they put on that spaghetti? And Cincinnati

805
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: it's not good. It's not it's not good. I tried it.

806
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean I get it. It's technically no. It's like

807
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: Hamburger soup. And you go to these places like like Skyline,

808
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: one of those places that from what I understand, I

809
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: am not. I gotta say I'm not. And I'm just

810
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,080

812
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't. Now I've eaten it on many occasions because

813
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: you kind of got to do it when you go

814
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, and I've been. When I was with CBS,

815
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: Cincinnati stunk, so I got all their games right. So

816
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: we were in Cincinnati all the time, and yeah, I

817
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 1: just never Yeah, not for me either. Yeahs a couple

818
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 1: of other places in Cincinnati that I would go to anytime,

819
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: but yeah, Skylin name one of them. I'm sorry. That

Speaker 1: only game with two teams with a winning record. Well,

837
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big game. I'm actually really looking forward

838
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: to this game. I hope it lives up to the

839
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: billing Brownie, because it's it's one I've been really looking

840
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: forward to. Yeah, these two teams. It's the It's tied

841
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: for the most combined wins in a matchup of any

842
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: Monday Night football in NFL history with a Sam Francisco

843
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: Denver game back in ninety seven. So wow, lots of

844
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: wins in this one. This is a great one. What

845
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on this? Give us a little synopsis

846
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: of how these two teams mesh and what are some

847
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: of the key questions that you have when you look

848
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: at the XS and ose Boy, There's there's a lot

849
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: to unpack there, Steve, I guess let's let's start with

850
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals offense. I think a number of things stand

851
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: out when you look at their offense. Number one, it

852
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: is Burrow is a really aggressive thrower outside the numbers.

853
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: So when you when he feels there's one on ones

854
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: with Chase or Higgins. Outside the numbers and the safeties

855
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: would not be a factor in the throw. He's going

856
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: to throw the ball, and it doesn't always have to

857
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: be a vertical route. It could be out routes. But

858
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 1: he attacks outside the numbers. And now you're going to

859
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: get into a situation where White Tradavious White, and I

860
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: guess Jackson and Elam if they continue you playing an

861
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: equal relatively equal number of snaps, they'll have a pretty

862
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: serious burden in this game. And I'm I'm not suggesting

863
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 1: they'll lose those matchups, but you have to be prepared

864
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: that he's going to work outside the numbers if you

865
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: get one on one matchups. That really stands out about Burrow.

866
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: The other thing that really stands out about Burrow is

867
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: just the efficiency with which he plays. He's really good

868
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: on third down. He's really and this speaks in some

869
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: ways which we can talk more about to the contrast

870
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: between the two quarterbacks. Burrow is a kind of a subtle, nuanced,

871
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: detailed player. Everything about the way he plays looks I

872
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: don't want to say easy, because it's never easy, but

873
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: he never looks under drest, He never looks as if

874
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: anything's happening too fast. He just looks as if he's

875
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: always in control and in command, and he knows where

876
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: to go with the football. Now, I'm very curious to

877
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: see the right tackle situation. He has learned over the

878
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: course of this year and probably through last year as well,

879
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: sort of how to navigate through playing behind a not

880
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: great offensive line. I think he had to learn that

881
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: at the NFL level, and he's done that, and his

882
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: movement within the pocket is really high level. He has

883
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: an innate feel for doing that. So you know, you're

884
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: dealing with a really good passing game and a quarterback

885
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: who's really got high level traits, the nuanced quarterback traits. Yeah,

886
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: I would argue Greg that his game this year, you know,

887
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: yards per attempt for him is down, yards per completion

888
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: for him is down. Maybe that's slightly a byproduct of

889
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: the absence of Chase from the lineup for about a

890
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: month with the hip injury, but I'm of the belief

891
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: that he is more willing to take the checkdowns in

892
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: the layups this year. His game almost resembled It's Brady

893
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: esque almost in a way. This year, it seems, yeah,

894
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's also just a a development in

895
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: his game, a positive development in his game, because he

896
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 1: is an aggressive thrower. That's why I mentioned outside the numbers,

897
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: those throws are not really risky throws because you're not

898
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: throwing into the into the heat of coverage, you know,

899
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: the cauldron of fire as it were. But yes, I

900
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: think that he's developed more an understanding of what you

901
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: can take, when you can take it, when you can

902
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: be aggressive, when you don't have to be aggressive, And

903
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: I think that just comes with experience. And you know,

904
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 1: he's a really strong processor. He sees things before the snap.

905
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: He knows where to go with the ball. Now. He

906
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: is aggressive at times and once in a while will

907
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: throw some picks and you know, ideally you'd like to

908
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: be in a situation where you can maybe create that.

909
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: But for the most part, he's just a really highly

910
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: efficient ball distributor and executor of a pass game. And

911
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: then you've got the three wide out skinny. Is there

912
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: a huge differentiation between the Tee Higgins really good player,

913
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd a real player, and then of course Jamar

914
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: Chase And then then you watch the New England game

915
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: and you got this guy Trenton Irwin who shows up

916
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: out an you know, right, so they have got I mean,

917
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: they've got guys out there, right, Gregor, that's what they are.

918
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: The they're an elite group. Yeah, they've got three guys

919
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: that would be considered, you know, in the top group

920
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: at their position. You know, Chase is certainly special. When

921
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: healthy Higgins to me, I remember watching him coming out

922
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: of Clemson, and I thought much more of him than

923
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: others did. I guess he was a second round pick

924
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: and a lot of people dinged him for running. I

925
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: guess a four or five seven or a four or

926
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: five eight, But he's six three two sixteen. And one

927
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: thing I learned years ago, Steven, and you can appreciate

928
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: this being a wide receiver, and you know, understanding the

929
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: position is stride length is a trait. So when a

930
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: guy is six three two sixteen, just because he's a

931
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: four or five eight as opposed to a four four four,

932
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: those guys eat up ground in a hurry. And I

933
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: learned that years ago when I started really evaluating receivers

934
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: and didn't understand that and would ding receivers and then

935
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: be wrong once they got to the NFL. You know,

936
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: but he's a guy that you know, if he has

937
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: free access off the line of scrimmage, he eats up

938
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: a lot of ground fast and he can get on

939
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: top of you. And Burrow has no problem, as we're

940
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: seeing here, giving him an opportunity to make contested catches

941
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: because he's very good at the catch point at the

942
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: moment of truth. So they have two really good whiteouts.

943
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,240
Speaker 1: And then you're dealing with Boyd, who is a really

944
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: really good slot receiver. He can work inside extremely well.

945
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes based because the Bills are a

946
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: nickel defense, rarely played dime. They played a few snaps

947
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: this week, but they're not really a dime defense by formation.

948
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 1: You can sometimes get Boyd versus nickel where he runs

949
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: those inside routes against a linebacker, and they'll they feel

950
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: very very good about that obviously. All right, so you

951
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: mentioned how aggressive Burrow is outside the numbers. You know,

952
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: when they get man coverage. Why would any defense play

953
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: much of single high safety at all against this passing game.

954
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you just cover two this thing up most of

955
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: the day or well, it's not, it's not Brownie always.

956
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be single high. I mean, if

957
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: you're a quarters team, you know, again, now you're getting

958
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: into what coverage they want to play. Theoretically cover two.

959
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: Theoretically cover two would take care of some of that,

960
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: although you do get the outside void and cover two

961
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: and Burrow will throw that the little turkey shot, you know,

962
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: But if you want to play quarters, you know, if

963
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: you line up in a two by two set as

964
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: an offense versus quarters, you know, if you run number

965
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: two vertically, that's safety has to match him. So it

966
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: still becomes in a sense one on one on the outside.

967
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: So you can create that through formation and use of

968
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 1: your personnel on the route concepts, you can create one

969
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 1: on one on the outside even versus own coverage. So

970
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: and now we're getting you know, the bottom line point.

971
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: As you're getting into situational football. You know, ideally you

972
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: would like to be in situations where it's third name.

973
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, you want that against anybody, but you really

974
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: want it more against these kinds of teams because when

975
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: they're when they can be proactive with their use of

976
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: formations and route concepts, they are a difficult offense to defend.

977
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: What defenses have had the most success against them? And

978
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: how does that happen? I sense their offensive line isn't

979
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: as dominant as you'd like to have it now, And

980
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,919
Speaker 1: maybe that's the Maybe that's the key to this whole

981
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: thing is putting Joe under duress. You need to put

982
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: him under duress. And even though he doesn't look like

983
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: he's playing fast when he's under duress, obviously he does

984
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: speed up when he's under darress. That's just natural for

985
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback, because no quarterback really likes to get hit.

986
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: Although I remember your old guy telling me when I

987
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: interviewed him years a hundred years ago, Jim Kelly saying,

988
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about a game until I get hit,

989
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: and I think myself, you're nuts. But anyway, most quarterbacks

990
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: do not like to get hit, and and you know,

991
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: certainly Borrow is that guy. But so you really want

992
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: to be able to generate some pressure, make him speed

993
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Like I said, he will turn

994
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: it loose. So he's had some games this year. I

995
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: know he had four interceptions Week one against the Steelers.

996
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: That seems like a very very long time ago. He's

997
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: not thrown a lot of interceptions since then. But he

998
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: is aggressive, and that can happen. Let's flip it around.

999
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: What do the Bengals defense. I mean they're good at disguise.

1000
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: We know that. Yeah, yeah, an Arumo likes to, you know,

1001
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: spin the dial on quarterbacks, give a much different look

1002
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: post snap than pre snap. Absolutely, who are I know

1003
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: Von Bell has gonna been a prime player for them

1004
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: for a while, but who who are the main actors

1005
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: in that disguise category. Yeah, just one quick point before

1006
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,479
Speaker 1: I answer that is he's a good adjuster too, Lure

1007
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: and Aramo, You'll see him make changes throughout the game.

1008
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: You know, very often you watch teams come out at

1009
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: halftime and you really have no idea because the adjustments

1010
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: are so subtle and nuanced and you don't really know.

1011
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: With him, you can really see that he makes adjustments

1012
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: at halftime. So that's another thing to be aware of.

1013
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: He's a very good in game adjuster. It appears as

1014
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: if Hubbard might be back this week, so you know,

1015
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: certainly Hedrickson is a good pass rusher. He's someone you

1016
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: do have to be concerned about in those down in

1017
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: distant situations where it's pass rushed. You know, Hubbard is

1018
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: a really good athlete. They use him on stunts a

1019
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: lot as the looper. He's really flexible, in Bendy. You know,

1020
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: in the run game, Reader is really a man inside.

1021
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: And we'll see how the Bills choose to play this week,

1022
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: coming off a game in which Singletary and Cook combined

1023
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: twenty three for two oh five, and I think they

1024
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: need to continue to try to have the run game

1025
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: be a somewhat meaningful part of their offense. And then

1026
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: in the second arry they're not a high percentage man team,

1027
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: but they do play man on third down. Now, the

1028
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: question is would they continue to do that this week

1029
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: with Josh because on third down they're a dying team

1030
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: and they bring in Trey Flowers, a big corner and

1031
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: he is there dying and they like to play man

1032
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: and match him up to tight ends and that's kind

1033
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: of their m So the question is, what's the Josh

1034
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: Allen factor in this game? Will they continue to do that, Brownie?

1035
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: Or is this a game because of Josh that you

1036
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: don't see that as much. Yeah, that's that's the big question,

1037
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: and that's what this is always going to come down to.

1038
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: Both teams have tremendous players, great depth, and it's you

1039
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: got to watch this matchup. I mean, last one for me,

1040
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: Greg before we go the Bills have shown the ability

1041
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: to win games in different ways this year. They ran

1042
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: at they They've they've done the long ball, the short ball,

1043
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: the big play, grind it out, and or the what

1044
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: if there is something that the Bills could win this

1045
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: game with that that Cincinnati is not that great at

1046
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: that they could exploit. What would it be well to me?

1047
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: And it's not a matter of Cincinnati not being great

1048
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: at I don't think they're great on defense at one thing.

1049
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: I think they're really solid ah and they've been doing

1050
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: more with him in recent weeks. I think Dawson Knox

1051
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: could be a factor in this game. You know, they've

1052
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: been using him a little more now. A lot of

1053
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: that's been again zone, and that's fine, that's what Cincinnati

1054
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 1: plays on early downs. You know, they've been using him

1055
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: with flood concepts where he's the intermediate route runner getting

1056
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: to it in different ways, whether he's on the side

1057
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: of the flood concept, whether he's coming from the other

1058
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: side flood opposite as I call it. You know, I

1059
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: think he could be a guy to look for in

1060
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: this game. I think there'd be opportunities for Dawson Knox

1061
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: in this game. Greg, as always, we appreciate the inside.

1062
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us as always. I'm assuming this is

1078
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: How are you good? Good? Because you get a little

1079
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: respite from the weather. You got a nice fifty degree

1080
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: practice day, you're out on the grass field. Did you

1081
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: actually did guys actually sweat out there today? Right? Now

1082
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. It's not easy to do when

1083
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: it's zero. It's not easy to do. The last last game,

1084
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't sweating at all. Yeah, I was gonna say,

1085
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: did you even I don't think I even showered after

1086
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: the game. I did shower after the game. I just

1087
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: want to make that we're gonna start calling you big

1088
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: dirty to go with a little dirty. I get it. Yeah,

1089
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: we had. We were talking about in the break. So

1090
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: many things change when you get into a game that

1091
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: is like dangerous bit or cold zero that like it

1092
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: was in in Chicago it is windy. Um, what was

1093
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: the thing that you're gonna take away from that game, like, gosh,

1094
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: I gotta do like I'm gonna do this different next time,

1095
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: or anything like that out there for you, or I'm

1096
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: happy I did this, so I'm happy. I'm usingly not

1097
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: a sleeves guy, but given the fact it was negative

1098
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: fifteen degrees with the wind show, I felt that I

1099
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: had to wear some put some put some sleeves on.

1100
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: I wore the skull cap as well. Um, you mentioned

1101
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: the win. The win was the worst part of it. Yeah,

1102
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, if it was no win at all, I

1103
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: would go no sleeves, no problem whatsoever. But because of

1104
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 1: the win it was such a strong wind. We could

1105
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: see there was like panting rippling. It was like cutting

1106
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: on your skin, like yeah, it felt like a little

1107
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: paper cuts. Yeah, we could tell that. It was. Yeah,

1108
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 1: when when you're out there, your internal furnace, if there's

1109
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: no wind, your internal furnace kind of gets you. Okay, right,

1110
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: but yes, I actually wore this is the first time

1111
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 1: I did this, Actually wore some scuba gear on underneath.

1112
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Oh you did, okay, Um, it was kind of shure.

1113
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: They weren't meant for tall people. So my belly bone

1114
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: was sticking out, but my bloody bone was cold, but

1115
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: everything everything else was warm. Yeah, it's good, um, but

1116
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: I was happy I took the necessary cautions. I think

1117
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Josh mentioned that in his press conference last week that

1118
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: some guys wear some of those. I guess Brady used

1119
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: to wear them when he was there was a log out.

1120
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: A lot of guys his past can I was wearing them, Okay,

1121
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: I know that's Um. It's great because it is a

1122
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: little bit air tight and holds it in and completely

1123
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: busts the wind. But the problem is sometimes you can't

1124
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: lift you know, They're made for flopping your feet in

1125
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: the wind in the water, not for raising your knees

1126
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,919
Speaker 1: to your yeah, you know, above your waist to run.

1127
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: So sometimes you get bound up with it. No problem

1128
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: like that. No, I wasn't wearing anything nothing on the

1129
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: bother on the bottom. No, it was really just I

1130
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: wore the over the top one. It was just to

1131
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: cut off. Did you cut it off? That was just

1132
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: I was just a little bigger than what the people. Yeah,

1133
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: I can buy right off the wreck. I don't know

1134
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: if you can. You can probably. I usually have to

1135
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: buy clothes online and shoose as well. They don't carry

1136
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: my size and stores to all right, So walk me

1137
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: through this sucks, I you right now, walk me through this.

1138
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: Just the mental mindset. Last week, you knew you were

1139
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: going to be in the pivot, um, you know, with

1140
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,919
Speaker 1: Mitch and concussion protocol. So you get a full practice week.

1141
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: That's the best case scenario. Um, you know, this week

1142
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Mitch says he's going to play Monday night. He's out

1143
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: of the protocol. That's all good news. So you get

1144
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: to go back to guard back home base. But I

1145
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: think you got to always have the mindset that center

1146
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: is always a possibility for you because you never know

1147
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the game. So how is

1148
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: how is last week's mindset different from this week's by

1149
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: mindset going back to home base knowing the possibility exists

1150
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: to flip back into the pitch. You know, I really

1151
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: don't change my mindset depending on the week. Um. I

1152
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: prepare for a game how I usually prepare. Um, if

1153
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm playing center, I might watch a little bit more film,

1154
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: just because the different types of pressures. You know, watching

1155
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: the nose, guard, what his tells are, you know, where

1156
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: his feet or flipped or not. You know, we're just

1157
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: watching the angles. Uh, I do the same thing as guard,

1158
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: but I think it's center. After watch that both sides

1159
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: of the ball, and so I want up, I find

1160
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: myself watching a little bit more film as supposed to

1161
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: just the right side, Okay. Um, I kind of treat

1162
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: every week depending no matter if I'm playing center of

1163
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: Guard's the same for the most part, for the exception

1164
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: of the fact that the film I just I just mentioned. Um,

1165
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: but I'm always ready to go in at center. Yeah,

1166
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: we spoke to We heard uh Ken Dorsey talk today

1167
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: to the media, and they were asking about, you know,

1168
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: why the bust out game in Chicago and the run game.

1169
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about how that happened. Certainly you

1170
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: guys played really well up front. We're getting to the

1171
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: second level and that kind of thing. Plus you know,

1172
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: whenever you get the backs to the second level, the

1173
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: good thing they weren't even getting touched on half they're

1174
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: at the second level. I haven't even you knew you

1175
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: knew Chicago had struggled in that going in. How much

1176
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: did film tell you about what you were going to

1177
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: be able to do? Um? So when we got out

1178
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: there on the field, it kind of through our because

1179
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: it was so windy. We knew we could have run

1180
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: in a little bit more because it was so cold. UM.

1181
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: But the ground kind of changed things because the grass

1182
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: wasn't it was concrete. First I went out there. I

1183
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: think Chicago was notoriously known for not having the best field,

1184
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: especially this late in the year in season. UM. And

1185
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: then given the weather, the circumstances were, you know, it

1186
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: was negative fifteen and so it literally felt like you

1187
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: were playing on concrete out there, and so I think

1188
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: it was a little tough for the defenders to to,

1189
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, change the change direction. Our backs did an

1190
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: unbelievable job of keeping their shoulders under their toes, not

1191
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: getting overextended and not you know, um, they did a

1192
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: great job cunning and you know, finding those holes. And

1193
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 1: because we weren't, we didn't have you know, the starting five,

1194
01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: we were shifting around a little bit. We knew communication

1195
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big part of this game, especially

1196
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: in the one game. And we knew that they they

1197
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: they did. They do a lot of three five pirates

1198
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: to a lot of star pressure, a lot of movement

1199
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: up front, and so we knew. We were aware of

1200
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: that going into the game, and so we knew we

1201
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: had to keep our shoulders under our toes, be balanced,

1202
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, use our extands, use your hands as weapons.

1203
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: And that's just exactly what we did and it all

1204
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: worked out. Yeah, don't get over your skis kind of

1205
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: game like, don't do that because you couldn't. You couldn't

1206
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: grab the ground with your cleats and otherwise it's almost

1207
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: like being on roller skates. Feel like you're walking on tile.

1208
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, your cleats didn't dig. Imagine putting some cleats

1209
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: on and going try to play basketball on the wood

1210
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: for right, That's that's what it felt like. And I'll

1211
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: say you what that it happened to me a lot

1212
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: because I only wighed like a buck eighty for a

1213
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: guy that weighs three bills. I can't believe your cleats

1214
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: won't even go in the ground. Yeah, it was hard.

1215
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: I pre game, I put them my longer cleats on,

1216
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: thinking it was going to help. It made it worse. Okay,

1217
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: So I went back in and I changed my cleats.

1218
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: Because I have my two cleats in my grass cleats,

1219
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: my grasskeleets a little bit longer. I might wear the

1220
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: seven studs and turf cleats. That's crazy, I wouldn't. I

1221
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: did a game in Chicago m as a as an analyst,

1222
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: and I'm down there on the field this you know,

1223
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 1: the grounds guy from Chicago came over and gave me

1224
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: this ten minute dissertation about how they heat the field

1225
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: to keep it from freezing. Was a bust day. It

1226
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: must have been busted. Our benches were actually not working.

1227
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: Our but they got it work in the second half,

1228
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 1: thank god. But for the first half we were sent

1229
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: over there not a little in that sounds a little nefarious, sketchy. Yeah, um,

1230
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: you got an interesting matchup on the frontier. DJ Reader

1231
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: is a load Um yeah you say that again. Yeah,

1232
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: well he is, Like I mean, he's a problem for everybody. Um,

1233
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 1: a guy you guys on the interior have to account for,

1234
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: no doubt. I know Mitch has some familiarity with him.

1235
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: He played against him in the Houston playoff game back

1236
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, so I know he's seen him before

1237
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: up close and personal. When you have a guy like that,

1238
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 1: that is so difficult to move. Um, because those guys

1239
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: aren't a dime a dozen in this league anymore. Those big,

1240
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 1: gargantuan nose tackles like we remember like Ted Washington in

1241
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: the late nineties here in Buffalo, those two those true

1242
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,879
Speaker 1: like two gap guys aren't there and aren't as plentiful,

1243
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: I should say anymore. When you run into one, is

1244
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: it is in an adjustment at least for the first

1245
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 1: couple of series because it's not a guy that you

1246
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: normally see every week. Or is it just like, oh,

1247
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen these guys here and there before.

1248
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: We you know, we're ready, we have a game plan

1249
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 1: and we go, yeah, so we have our game plan.

1250
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 1: We're ready to do what we need to do we

1251
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: know what we need to do, we know what we

1252
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: want to do. Um, at the end of the day,

1253
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: you know, he's a good defensive lineman. Yeah, I'm not

1254
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna take that away from him. But they're just spots

1255
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. You know, we know

1256
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: we've played some great deal lineman. Yeah, if the Kenny Clarks,

1257
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the Chris Jones is you know Aaron Donalds. Yes, and

1258
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 1: so it's nothing. We've gone against bunch as good defensive linemen.

1259
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna go out there, We're gonna do our thing. Yeah, yeah,

1260
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: good luck. Well, thanks for coming in. I appreciate it. Course,

1261
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: thanks for having me real quick Before you go, though,

1262
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: I got to ask you because I remember when you

1263
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: came here. Um, you know, you're an undrafted rookie in Philly.

1264
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: You come here via trade and I'm in the locker

1265
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: room it's his first day in and I was like, well,

1266
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 1: how you doing, how's to play in And He's like,

1267
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: my girlfriend is still back in Philly. I gotta get

1268
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: her up here. We gotta find out where we're living.

1269
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: Is it crazy? Like how crazy is it to think

1270
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: about that day? And like where you are now? You know,

1271

Speaker 1: you got a nice contract, and you know, things are

1272
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 1: things are rolling for you. Man, You're a week you know,

1273
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, a week you're in the starting lineup now,

1274
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what what could you have envisioned all of

1275
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: this back then? Like you have goals obviously, but I

1276
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: taught everyone that's being getting traded was the best thing.

1277
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: At the time, I had no idea what the heck

1278
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: was going on. Yeah, I thought it was a bad thing.

1279
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: You know why they don't want me out of yacht.

1280
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm getting traded is the best thing I ever could

Speaker 1: and we're glad to have you in studio. Thanks for

1288
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: spending some time, of course, thanks for having On Monday night,

1289
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: that is Ryan Bates joining us here fresh off the field.

1290
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 1: We'll let him get a shower in and uh, you know,

1291
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: get some film in and do your thing. We'll take

1292
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: a break. Are we taking a break? No, we're going

1293
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: to Leslie Frasier, Okay, Leslie Frasier addressing the media now

1294
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 1: after practice here is coach, how big of a challenge

1295
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: is a three headed attack a wide receiver like the

1296
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: Bengals of percent, Well, they've they've got some really good

1297
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: receivers and the quarterback is as a good player as well.

1298
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: It definitely presents some issues for you, But I think

1299
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: our guys are looking forward to the challenge and we'll

1300
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: have our hands full. I mean, all three of those

1301
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: guys are very, very good at what they do. I

1302
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: know you say I don't want you to give the

1303
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 1: strategy away, but I know you often say, we're going

1304
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 1: to kind of play our game, and regardless of who

1305
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 1: your opponent is, you have can you still stick to

1306
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: that considering this is such a unique situation with the

1307
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: talent that they have at the wide receiver style, I

1308
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: think you can to a degree, John, but you do

1309
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: have to, you know, look at some different things at times,

1310
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: just because of the level of talent in the way

1311
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: they've spread out. It's not like it's one guy, one

1312
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: featured guy or two guys. I mean, and the running

1313
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:21,640
Speaker 1: back's pretty good as well. I mean, Mixon does a

1314
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: good job coming out of the backfield. So you know,

1315
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you still have to

1316
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: be who you are and what has helped us to

1317
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: be a good defense. So you can't completely get away

1318
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: from what you what you do best. And you know,

1319
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: we'll see how it all works out. Now. You haven't

1320
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: played them since twenty nineteen. They've played AFC East, I mean,

1321
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: in want scouting for upcoming, the Browns and other teams

1322
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: this year have kind of been able to keep a

1323
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: familiarize yourself a little bit with the Bengals because they've

1324
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: been on the film. You know what I mean. I

1325
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: do know what you mean, but no, I mean for us,

1326
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 1: it's all about that opponent and you put so much

1327
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: energy and effort into preparing for that opponent. So nah,

1328
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: really my familiarity began this week when we start our

1329
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: preparations become so good at getting the ball out. I

1330
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: would imagine some of it has to do with the

1331
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: emphasis that the coaches are playing on getting the ball out. Um.

1332
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: You know, they've had some some sacks over the year,

1333
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 1: and one of the ways to reduce that is getting

1334
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 1: the ball out fast and having complimentary routes to that,

1335
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: and the coaches in the quarterback they've done a really

1336
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 1: good job of adjustin and getting the ball out and

1337
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: then having routes to compliment getting the ball out. So

1338
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: really smart on their part, and we've got to do

1339
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: some things to try to come back that. I think

1340
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: for Dane and Carrot, they both have done a good

1341
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: job for us, both tackling and playing the ball down

1342
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: the field and just you know, getting some of those

1343
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: attacks off of the corner opposite Tredavis. So this week

1344
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 1: it's a different challenge, as John mentioned earlier, because of

1345
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 1: the talent, how spread out it is, but they both

1346
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: have done a good job foruls Leslie team wide tackling

1347
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: miss tackles has been a topic at times this season.

1348
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: Where do you feel like the team is at right

1349
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 1: now in that regard? You know it really feel good

1350
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:28,560
Speaker 1: about the way we tackle This past weekend, Jay, that

1351
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: was impressive. I mean I was an offense that was

1352
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: averaging one hundred and eighty nine yards rushing in for

1353
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: our guys to hold them to eighty yards and two

1354
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: point eight yards, But here you gotta be tackling. Well,

1355
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: then you're right. There have been some games where we

1356
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: didn't tackle as well or we weren't where we needed

1357
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: to be gap wise, But in large part overall, we've

1358
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 1: done a good job of being where we're supposed to

1359
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 1: be in tackling. We just gotta make sure that we're

1360
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,759
Speaker 1: consistently doing it, much like we did this past weekend

1361
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,520
Speaker 1: along those lines. I know it be somewhat subjective mistackles

1362
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 1: right depending on who's looking at it, but there's something

1363
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 1: ubers that suggest Tremaine has only just one tackle all

1364
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: this season. I don't know if your numbers will back

1365
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: that up, but if you could maybe speak to the

1366
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: growth that he's shown in being a sure tackler as

1367
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 1: your middle linebacker, I mean, that's so key to what

1368
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: we do on defense. Having a middle linebacker who is

1369
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: a sure tackler because he's so often at the point

1370
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 1: of attack. Our defensive line has done a good job

1371
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 1: for us, and when they have struggle being in their gaps,

1372
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: that that puts a lot of pressure on the linebackers.

1373
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 1: But they've done a good job of being gap sound

1374
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 1: for the most part of this season, and that allows Tremaine,

1375
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 1: when he's at the point of attack, to make those

1376
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: plays because he is a sure tackler, and that is

1377
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:41,919
Speaker 1: growth from his first year to where he is currently,

1378
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: tremendous growth and bringing his feet, using his hands, putting

1379
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 1: his eyes on our target, taking great angles to the football.

1380
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: These are all improvements over the last couple of years

1381
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,639
Speaker 1: and this year and particularly he's taking a big leap.

1382
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 1: And some of it I think is its confidence as well.

1383
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: He's more confident, he's stronger now, and he's more experienced,

1384
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: so I think that has a lot to do with it.

1385
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: But he is for sure a good tackler. When you're

1386
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: watching tray out there, how far off do you feel

1387
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: like he obviously, coming back from an ACL injury see

1388
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 1: easy task, but did you see him improving with each game?

1389
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 1: How far off do you feel like he is from

1390
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: his full self? Just from what you're able to watch.

1391
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: I think he's really close, Elena. I don't know, like

1392
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 1: I said before, if he'll get to that Pro Bowl

1393
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 1: player that we saw before the injury, because for most guys,

1394
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 1: it takes at least a full year to get back

1395
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: to where you were playing, and he's only been on

1396
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: the field, what maybe three or four weeks? I think so.

1397
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: But what I see is his confidence level has grown.

1398
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,719
Speaker 1: He's there's much less trepidation when it comes to getting

1399
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: out of my break, putting my foot in the ground,

1400
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 1: and planning and driving him a lot of things that

1401
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 1: early on when he beginning to play, he was thinking

1402
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, what's going to happen if I

1403
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: push off on this foot. What's going to happen if

1404
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: I break in this direction. That's kind of gone now.

1405
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 1: So he's playing a lot more freer and I think

1406
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: he's playing better, and that's what you were hoping for.

1407
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,759
Speaker 1: When he got back on the field, he began to improve.

1408
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: You know each week you were talking last week's about

1409
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: Damar showing real strides and the communication peace. And I'm

1410
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: curious when Michael went out without trade for most of

1411
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: the season until he got back, has did that impact

1412
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 1: the way that you guys were able to, you know,

1413
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: do some things pre snap in terms of disguising the

1414
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 1: looks that from the most part, you know, you've been

1415
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 1: here at teams just talked about how well you guys

1416
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: are hanging out. Oh yeah, man, it definitely affected some things.

1417
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: But you know, Damar is only in his second season,

1418
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 1: so here you are thrusting to the starting lineup, and

1419
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: not only do you have to get lined up properly,

1420
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 1: you got to help other people getting lined up because

1421
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: of the absence of a Mica. And then sometimes Jordan

1422
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 1: wasn't out there either, so it was a lot put

1423
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 1: on his plate. He's gotten better than I mentioned before,

1424
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, it it definitely affected some of the things

1425
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 1: we wanted to be able to do, and and rightfully so.

1426
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a young safety who's still learning. When

1427
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: Mica and Jordan started off their first year with us,

1428
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: they were similar in some ways as far as their

1429
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: growth was concerned. So it's a natural progression. And he's

1430
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 1: gotten better and a year from now he'll be even better,

1431
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: and you know, we'll be able to do more things

1432
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: from a Diskuy standpoint, but that's just a product of

1433
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: where we are on those lines. How much does it

1434
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 1: help tomorrow that Mica chose to stay here and you know,

1435
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: I just saw him out here working on something just

1436
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: after practice. But how invaluable can that be for tomorrow

1437
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 1: that Mica chose us not to go somewhere else and

1438
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 1: he's here, he can ask him, you know, whatever he wants,

1439
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 1: basically whenever he wants. I think it's been invaluable in

1440
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. The fact that he's in the meetings,

1441
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: he's at practice. I see him in those guys here

1442
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: all the time talking to him. Uh, just paint a

1443
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 1: picture of some things that he sees. And then when

1444
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: when when when he's at the games, you know, he's

1445
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: talking to my I was watching him on the sideline

1446
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 1: in our game, and of course it's freezing cold out there,

1447
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: and there he is talking to our safeties about where

1448
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: they are lining at, what he's seeing in between plays.

1449
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, that's that's so important for young

1450
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: safeties to have a pro bowled player spending that much

1451
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: time and just sharing some of his wisdom with you.

1452
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: It has to have help DeMar for sure, and I'm

1453
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: sure with cam Lewis and Decline as well. I mean,

1454
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 1: I'm sure it helped those guys also. All Right. That's

1455
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier addressing the media after practice today.

1456
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: A lot of questions about Buffalo secondary from the media,

1457
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: undoubtedly because they know this is probably the stiffest test

1458
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,679
Speaker 1: that that secondary is going to face all season long.

1459
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chiefs receiving corps I think, and maybe

1460
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are the only two that come close to

1461
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: this one because one, two and three. I don't think

1462
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: anybody can match the one two and three that the

1463
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: Bengals put out on the field and Jamar Chase T.

1464
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:59,560
Speaker 1: Higgins and Tyler Boyd. The Chiefs are as good and

1465
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 1: off defense as the Bengals, maybe as good as anybody,

1466
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: probably better than anybody, But they're a little bit different

1467
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 1: than this than this crew. And even Miami they go

1468
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 1: with Jalen Waddle and they got um Tyreek, they don't

1469
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 1: have like Tyler Boyd next you know, um, they got Gasicky,

1470
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: but that's you know, yeah, this is a different kind

1471
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: of animal. They're very good. They've got a quarterback that

1472
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: is gifted physically with an arm and a head, and

1473
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: he is Joe Cool. He's gonna take what's there. And

1474
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: it's hard not to leave something uncovered. When you're playing

1475
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL against three guys like this, it's

1476
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: it is an enormous challenge. Uh And particularly at this

1477
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: point of the season when you've got everything in front

1478
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: of you know how good they are, and so do

1479
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: they and they also know their limitations. So whatever they

1480
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: they're not confident in or what they're not sure of

1481
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: They've they've it's been looked at and tried against them,

1482
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 1: so they got a plan. It's really it's formidable to

1483
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 1: take on a team like this this late in the year,

1484
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see. Now, certainly the Bills,

1485
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been here before. This is you know,

1486
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:18,600
Speaker 1: you go back to Kansas City. They held them to

1487
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 1: twenty points early in the season. They've done it to

1488
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: other really good teams, you know, but they also got

1489
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:28,839
Speaker 1: nicked for twenty nine points against Miami and the Minnesota

1490
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Viking scored thirty three on them. It's gonna be hard, man. Well,

1491
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: you're tackling has to be sound because even if you're

1492
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: allowing completions, if you can minimize the yards after the catch,

1493
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: you go a long way toward beating the Bengals. And

1494
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 1: that's because the Bengals are fourth in the league and

1495
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: yards after the catch this season. If you limit that,

1496
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 1: you might get some situations that give you an opportunity

1497
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: to get off the field or at least force a

1498
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: field goal. Things like that. If they're running free and

1499
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: then it's yards after the catch with his crew, you

1500
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: have to you're gonna have to score over thirty five

1501
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 1: points to win the game. You're gonna be looking at

1502
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: heels and nameplates all day, chasing the tail lights. Let's

1503
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: go to the obl Friday fan mail bag as we

1504
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 1: take your questions on the bills of the league at large,

1505
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 1: and we lead off with Chris, who asks, well, he says,

1506
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 1: first of all, my wife and I are going to

1507
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: the game on Monday, and Tasker is my all time

1508
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 1: favorite player. He visited my fourth grade class. My question, though,

1509
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 1: is does Steve Tasker have a favorite memory playing the

1510
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:30,600
Speaker 1: Bengals and does he have one covering the Bengals as

1511
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: a broadcaster? Yeah, the player memory broadcast. The player memory

1512
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 1: I have is when they after they put us out

1513
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: of the championship game in eighty eight, eighty nine, they

1514
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,559
Speaker 1: came in here and it's someone we were the bickering

1515
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: Bills and Jim throws three first quarter interceptions and we

1516
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 1: beat him thirty five ten or something like that, which

1517
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 1: we lumped him up. We hated those guys for what

1518
01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: they did to us get keeping us out of the

1519
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 1: champ out of the super Bowl. And that was the

1520
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 1: one time too, when the team was in turmoil in

1521
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: the locker room, that kind of thing where we all

1522
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: kind of said, let's go together, you know, as the

1523
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: first thing that unified us was our hatred of the

1524
01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: Bengals and Sam Wish, who was great dude, but we

1525
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: came together and beat him, lumped him up pretty good,

1526
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: and that, um was my is my one lasting memor.

1527
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't really remember even that too much about the

1528
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: championship game we lost in Cincinnati as a covering the Bengals.

1529
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 1: You know, the things that I think about with the

1530
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 1: Bengals are as a broadcaster, were you know, the way

1531
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: their organization is unique. It's still got the family that

1532
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 1: bought it in the nineteen sixties. The Brown family still

1533
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 1: runs it. Paul Brown's son Mike is still there although

1534
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 1: his his daughter and his son Katie Blackburn and her

1535
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 1: son are It's a family run operation. They they love

1536
01:23:55,880 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: that team. They run it and they are doggedly committed

1537
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: to making it work. And that's you know, it's a

1538
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: unique situation for that reason down in Cincinnati, and that's

1539
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of my memories as covering them as a

1540
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: as a journalist journalist analyst Andrew has this uh from

1541
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: the OBL Friday fan mail bag in twenty twenty one,

1542
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 1: we saw a jable holdback design QB runs until very

1543
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: late in the season. In quote gotta have it games,

1544
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: What do you think of anything as Dorsey holding back

1545
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati game and the playoffs that we haven't

1546
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 1: seen on tape. Well, now you're asking me to be

1547
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: Kreskin here, I mean, having not seen it on tape,

1548
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there's much. Yeah, I think you'll get

1549
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: more of some stuff we haven't seen much of, and

1550
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 1: some stuff that we haven't seen run out of the

1551
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 1: same for that kind of stuff for Wrinkles two or

1552
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 1: three for this game, for sure, because for sure, Yeah,

1553
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean you don't really hold anything back in any

1554
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: given week. Now, maybe come the second half of last

1555
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: week's game, for example, maybe you'll leave some stuff in

1556
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: the back, probably repeating some plays in some new stuff. Yeah, sure,

1557
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: certainly in this game. Yeah, you're you're thinking at this

1558
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: point of the season, if in a game like this,

1559
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: if you've got a running play to Josh that you

1560
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 1: think could work or what, Yeah, you might call it

1561
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,720
Speaker 1: this week rather than save it on a fourth and

1562
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 1: short or a third and short or you know, an

1563
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 1: extend to drive kind of let's we gotta have it

1564
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,800
Speaker 1: kind of. Yes, absolutely, you might see that. Also, you'll

1565
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: see some of that with maybe some personnel combinations that

1566
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: maybe some plays that you haven't seen, we've seen them

1567
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 1: use different personnel combinations like Bobby Hart and that kind

1568
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: of thing. Maybe there's something out of that. I don't know,

1569
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: but it's that attitude. It's that kind of that attitude

1570
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: kind of game. Same thing from the Bengals. You may

1571
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: get some stuff out of them that we haven't seen

1572
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: as well. And yeah, so that's the cat and mouse

1573
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 1: game we see every week. You just got to stay

1574
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: really disciplined and with what you're looking at, your response.

1575
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 1: Don't forget about your responsibility because you think the plays

1576
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: going the other way all of a sudden, you still

1577
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 1: got to kind of wait that half second to make

1578
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: sure it's not a throwback to your guy or and

1579
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But yes, that is the kind

1580
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: of attitude you gotta have. There's gonna be some stuff

1581
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: in this game plan for both teams that they're going

1582
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: to roll out there that are one time plays. Yeah,

1583
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: they'll roll it out in this game and you won't

1584
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: ever see it again. We have to take a break here.

1585
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna lay out for you

1586
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: some of the comments from Bengals slot receiver Tyler Boyd,

1587
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: who doesn't think too much of Buffalo's defense or secondary

1588
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what he said next here on One

1589
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Collot of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1590
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,600
Speaker 1: Building a game plan presented by United Rentals, the exclusive

1591
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: and official construction equipment rental partner of the Buffalo Bills.

1592
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:04,560
Speaker 1: Steve the game plan for the offense. I think this.

1593
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 1: I think the Bills need to control this game with

1594
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 1: their offense. I think you got to treat it just

1595
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: like you treat a game with Kansas City. Anytime you

1596
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: make them punch, or anytime you can get the ball

1597
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 1: away from them or keep them from points on their possession,

1598
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 1: you've got to capitalize on it. I think you've got

1599
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: to control the clock, control the amount of possessions both

1600
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: teams get, and you've got to be really more efficient

1601
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: than they are to stay on the field, extend your

1602
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 1: drives as much as you can, and do like they

1603
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: have done at the end of games where they control

1604
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: the clock, go down, score the winning points when there

1605
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: the other team has no chance to get some the

1606
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 1: other way. I think Josh Allen the offense are the

1607
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: keys to this game. Defense, for me, it's all about

1608
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:45,479
Speaker 1: the front seven. You got to help those guys on

1609
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 1: the back end with some monster matchups. I think they

1610
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,759
Speaker 1: got to get pressure on Burrows, speed up his internal clock,

1611
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: gets him hits on him early, have them have him

1612
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 1: thinking about you hitting him rather than who's opening in

1613
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: the pattern or the route concept in the passing game,

1614
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: and that should go a long way in kind of

1615
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 1: neutralizing their effectiveness. Down to down series to series, we

1616
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: wanted to bring to you some of the comments from

1617
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: Bengal slot receiver Tyler Boyd. He was asked about the

1618
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: Bills defense and said, quote, it's kind of basic. They

1619
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: don't do too much disguising. It's kind of straightforward. They

1620
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 1: don't do all the trickery things we've seen from a

1621
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 1: lot of defenses. But again, man, they're playing us. Every

1622
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 1: team kind of prepares differently for us. I mean, we

1623
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 1: prepare for everything. We're ready for anything. Exotic looks, regular looks,

1624
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 1: We're all ready for it. Then he was asked about

1625
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: their secondary and he wasn't all that impressed either, right,

1626
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 1: so he said he doesn't think they're too special he said,

1627
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,719
Speaker 1: they're not the best secondary we've played this year. Bulletsin

1628
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:49,840
Speaker 1: board material. Oh yeah, sure, absolutely. It is. Anytime you

1629
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 1: can get him to talk about you in a way

1630
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 1: that is not, you know, over the top complimentary, you

1631
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: construed as disrespect. I mean that's the way it works.

1632
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: You don't have to construe that too much. You can,

1633
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to. Yeah, they'll say, okay, you don't think so,

1634
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: we'll see that, and that's that's really. It lays down

1635
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 1: a challenge for the Bills secondary, no question. I like it. Yeah,

1636
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's no question about it that it's

1637
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 1: you can bet that's already made the rounds in the

1638
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 1: Bills locker room. I don't know if it's gonna work.

1639
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 1: You know who knows what it's gonna work. They can

1640
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: back it up. They're good team and you're gonna have

1641
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 1: to play well to beat them. Bills by the Numbers
