Speaker 1: of the game being on Monday night, so Major game

9
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: Plan install day is today not Wednesday, and the players

10
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: are out on the practice field. Nice sunny day here,

11
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: but there is a chill in the air.

12
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: It's starting. I see you've got a quarter zip on.

13
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: I went out.

14
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Quartership, I watched out, I went out to practice. I

15
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: had to step back against the building because it was

16
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: the breeze hit you, and.

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: It was, oh, well, yeah, you got a single shirt one.

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: We're right there where you step back against the building

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: out of the wind. It's nice and toasty, but you

20
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: get out in the breeze and it's chilly.

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Because I woke up this morning, looked at my

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: phone and it said thirty nine. Yeah, hey now I

23
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: got that.

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: I got that word day now.

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Like whoa I know there was a Frost advisory last night.

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: I got to bring my TV in because I mount

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: I got one. So my TV, well, my TV has

28
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: two locations based on the time of the year. So

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, you can get like a fifty inch flat

30
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: screen for like two hundred bucks. So I have one

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: that I have mounted on an arm on my back patio,

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: you know for spring, summer, maybe a little bit of fall. Seven.

33
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. Good spot.

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: When the Frost advice you start showing up, it's time

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: to bring that puppy in.

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: So why because I don't.

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: It's not an outdoor TV like, you're really running the

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: risk there. Now again, I know for those that have

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: the disposable income to say, ah, it's two hundred bucks,

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: I'll just get another one. No, I bring it in.

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: I put it in the basement and that's where it

42
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: goes where you know, sometimes work out in the morning,

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: and you know it's nice to just put ESPN or.

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't have an arm on the wall. I have

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: a I have a table take right, and I got

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: a big I think it's.

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: I actually think it's a seventy that's not that big,

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: but it's sixty sixty.

49
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: Five and it's up on there, and then I went

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: on on online got like a thirty dollars cover.

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, goes down. I have a cover and it's.

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: Water young zipping on the size and it flips.

53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: Over it and it's under a covered patio, so I'm fine.

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna get moisture.

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: But well yeah, but like I my covered patio has

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: nine foot clearance, so if it's rain and sideways like

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: missed with wind will sweep in there. So I do

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: like to keep it covered, which I do. But she's

59
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: coming in tonight, I think because I.

60
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: Hadn't an I worry about maybe the wind whipping in

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: my veranda and you know, blowing.

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: The whole thing over.

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could happen, but I've got a plan for

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: that too, Okay, fair.

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: Enough, Yeah, because I'm I think this is the weekend

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: where I'm packing up the patio furniture. I think we're done.

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, I I've been alerted that this is

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: going to be a work weekend in my state as well, So.

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I got all this stuff around the pool packed up

70
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: because that's been closed for a few weeks now. But

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: now I've got to do the other half of it.

72
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: Did you close up pool early this year.

73
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: I well, I usually do it by the third week

74
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: in September because I like the pool closed before the

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: leaves start falling. Oh, because otherwise that is a colossal

76
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: pain in the arts.

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I get you.

78
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're cleaning out the skimmer baskets every day.

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Justck full of leaves. The bottom of the pools disgusting,

80
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: So I try to get it covered up before any

81
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: of that starts flying.

82
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: There you go.

83
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: So that's the plan. The other thing we have to

84
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: pass along to you are Bills practice updates, which are

85
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: presented by LEECOM your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.

86
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: Out on the field. Not practicing for the Bills today,

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: Matt Mulana, who's week to week with the peck injury. TJ.

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: Sanders not practicing today with the knee injury that forced

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: him to miss last week's game, so we'll see where

90
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: that goes the rest of the week. Limited in practice today,

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins with a hand injury, Dorian Williams with a

92
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: leg injury, At Oliver with his ankle injury, and then

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: coach McDermott said today that I ard players Max Hairston,

94
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 1: Tayland Grabil, and Tyler Bass will not have their twenty

95
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: one day practice windows opened today, So in all likelihood,

96
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: we're going another week before that question or proposition is raised.

97
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: And look, I want to make it clear to everybody

98
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: that just because you open a twenty one day practice

99
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: window doesn't mean you have to wait twenty one days

100
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: to activate them to the active roster. If you add

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: them back into the practice fold by opening their twenty

102
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: one day practice window and after three days you're like,

103
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: he's good to go, you can put them right on

104
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: the active roster. You don't have to wait the full

105
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: twenty but.

106
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: They can't practice until then, correct, So you don't know

107
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: they're just and with.

108
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: The time that Harston and Grabile have missed, you would

109
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: anticipate a lengthy ramp up period, certainly, you know, more

110
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: than seven days, maybe as many as fourteen, maybe as

111
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: many as twenty one. We don't know. I know this

112
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: is a subject of frustration for fans. Based on the

113
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: blowback I saw on social media, people are just annoyed

114
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: and probably impatient that Max Harriston's injury has lasted as

115
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: long as it has, knowing that he's been out since

116
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: the first week of training camp. But if he's not right,

117
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: he can't play. I mean, it's as simple as that.

118
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: And we'll get into, you know, the state of the

119
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: roster as it is through the course of the show today.

120
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: But let's go around the NFL first presented by Kalida Health,

121
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Thursday Night

122
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: Football tonight is Giants versus Eagles. Giants will be without

123
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: receivers Myleak Neighbors, who is out for the season, and

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, who has a hamstring injury. Not ideal and

125
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: naturally the Eagles are heavily favored, but you know, the

126
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: Eagles offense has been mucking it up lately, so be

127
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: interesting to see that game is whether that game is

128
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: close or otherwise. It is in New York, it is,

129
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: so make of it what you will. Giants can't catch

130
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: a break man like they get Dart in the game.

131
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: He has a hamstring injury. You know, you lose Neighbors

132
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: for the year. Now Slayton, who's arguably your next best receiver,

133
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: not gonna play. It's just yo.

134
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 2: It's rather it's really rough.

135
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: The Browns and Jaguars executed a trade of cornerbacks last night.

136
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland sent former first round pick Greg Newsom to Jacksonville

137
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: in exchange for former first round pick Tyson Campbell. There

138
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: was also an exchange of late round picks, with a

139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: sixth going to Jacksonville a seventh to Cleveland. And I

140
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: know that Greg Newsom was a player that some Bills

141
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: fans had their eyes on as a potential add to

142
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 1: Buffalo's roster. Now he is carrying a fifty year option

143
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: salary of thirteen point three eight million, and even pro rated,

144
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: you're over eight and the Bills cannot fit that under yet.

145
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: So I just don't think he was a realistic option

146
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: because of the car involved. And you know a lot

147
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: of times that's not factored in when fans are like,

148
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: just get that guy.

149
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's why we're all at I mean, yeah,

150
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: we act like we've got dad's credit card and we're

151
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: in the supermarket. Yeah, let's just yeah, get it.

152
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: So h So he goes to Jacksonville, Campbell goes to Cleveland.

153
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland gets cost certainty with Campbell, who just signed a

154
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: four year extension last year, so they'll have that. There

155
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: are some that believe that corner is precariously thin for

156
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: the Bills right now, and with Harston and Strong both

157
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: on IR, I would tend to agree, Oh yeah, you are.

158
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: It's not a perfect scenario for sure.

159
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Now, they did readd Jalen Kimber back to the practice

160
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: squad the corner, so they have a means of depth there.

161
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if Bills fans would call that ideal.

162
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: They also have Dane Jackson on the practice squad, so

163
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: maybe they see that as their depth and they feel

164
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: like they can hold on by their fingernails until they

165
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: get through the bye week and then maybe how things

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: are faring with Hairston are considerably better. I don't know.

167
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing here, but I'm already hearing it from

168
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: fans on social media and when I'm in the store.

169
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: Are they gonna make a trade? They got to get somebody,

170
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: you know. I think they're gonna bide their time to

171
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: kind of see what their defense looks like, especially with

172
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: Ogunjobi and Hoyt set to come back to the fold.

173
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying you never say never with Brandon Bean,

174
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: who's always, you know, out there looking around for ways

175
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: to improve the team. But we'll see. Dolphins quarterback to

176
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: A Tongue of Iloa expected to play Sunday against the

177
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: Chargers despite nursing multiple injuries. Offensive coordinator Frank Smith said

178
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: the reason Tongue of i Loo is limited in Wednesday's

179
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: practice were due to injuries to his hip and left thumb,

180
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: which is his throwing hand. Didn't miss any of last

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: week's game against Carolina, and Smith said there isn't much

182
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: con sern for the quarterback moving forward, so he's just

183
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: dealing with some stuff and will apparently play through it.

184
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Ers do not yet know when

185
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: quarterback Brock Perty will return from his toe injury that

186
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: has cost him three of their first five games, but

187
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: they also haven't reached a point where they're ready to

188
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: rule them out for an extended period of time. Head

189
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: coach Kyle Shanahan said yesterday that they haven't given it

190
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: a thought about placing him on IR so it sounds

191
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: like he's kind of got a week to week thing.

192
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: They check in each week, how's the toe? Can you

193
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: push off it? Can you move? And then if he can't,

194
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: they just shut him down for the week. Party did

195
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: not practice yesterday, so the general belief is that Mac

196
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Jones is going to start again on Sunday against Tampa Bay.

197
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: Jones has already led the Niners to three wins in

198
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: his three starts.

199
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: That certainly takes the urgency off of getting pretty back

200
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: in there, you know, right, So that's yeah, and that's

201
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: the by rush him back bills fans can relate to.

202
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: I mean, we take calls all the time about well,

203
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about this, and meanwhile they're four and oh right,

204
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: and it doesn't become urgent until while we lost a

205
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: game by three. Now everything's like everything's smoking high. You

206
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: got to make some changes. That's the way the Niners.

207
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: It's just the opposite quarterbacks hurt and all of a sudden,

208
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: now they've managed to win. Okay, that's great, can you

209
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: play no, all we managed another win and then another win.

210
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, well we're okay now right. It really

211
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: cools things down the results on Sunday, And unfortunately, the

212
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 2: results on Sunday have nothing to do with the health

213
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: of the players that you're winning on to return, nothing

214
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: to do with it. You can't winning or losing doesn't

215
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: accelerate or decelerate the process of getting back on the field.

216
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: It's just that simple.

217
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: So that's the situation with respect to San Francisco and

218
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: then looking elsewhere, Cleveland Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski said he

219
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: was not committal on whether rookie Shadour Sanders or practice

220
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: squad quarterback Bailey Zappi would be the team's backup quarterback

221
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of trading Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals,

222
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: can Shaudur Sanders plummet any further you thought, Ah, Gabriel's

223
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: going into the starting lineup, They'll probably bump up Sanders

224
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: to the second QB and make Flacco the third. Nope,

225
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: In the one week that Flacco was benched, he was

226
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: the number two. Shadour Sanders was the number three. By

227
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: then they trade Flacco, Okay, so Sanders is the number

228
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: two now, right, Well, it could be Bailey Zappy who's

229
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. This is where we are. As

230
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: we know, Cleveland traded Flacco and a twenty twenty six

231
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: to sixth round pick to Cincinnati on Tuesday for a

232
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, leaving Sanders and Dylan Gabriel is the

233
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: only quarterbacks on the active roster. However, Stefanski said he

234
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: would quote let the week play out and make a

235
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: decision later about who gets the QB two role this weekend.

236
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: How does that grab you, Steve?

237
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: It might be just a head coach, little gamesmanship and

238
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: keeping the media at bay. But if it's not, if

239
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: it's not Shador and it's Bailey Zappy.

240
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: Bailly zappy, ladies and gents, come on, that's where we are.

241
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: Here's the best part about the Browns concerning their quarterback situation.

242
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this. In this calendar

243
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five, the Browns are paying money to

244
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: eight total quarter.

245
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: Can't say with a straight fax eight quarter you're kidding,

246
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: you're paying I know they had the foreign training I

247
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: can't say it that had foreign training camp and.

248
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: Deshaun Shawn Watson five the foreign training camp. Right the

249
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: quarterback that they had last year, Dorian Thompson Robinson is

250
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: still getting paid part of the salary they agreed to

251
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: pay him and then move on from him. I'm not

252
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: going to remember them all, but eight of them there

253
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: are eight eight six. So bad they're paying eight quarterbacks

254
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: in the same calendar year. Hold on, I gotta find

255
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: it because now I want to tell you how much

256
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: they're paying each of these cats, because this this is rich.

257
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

258
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh it's good. Come on, So here we are.

259
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: They are paying Deshaun Watson thirty six million right now,

260
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston two point two million.

261
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: He's with the John Jamis Winston.

262
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: There you go, Dylan Gabriel one point one million, Joe

263
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Flacco one million, Shador Sanders nine hundred and fifty five thousand,

264
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappi three hundred and fifteen thousand, Dorian Thompson Robinson

265
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy one thousand, and quarterback number eight

266
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett getting handy getting eight ft.

267
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: Kiff Kenny Pickett. Wait a minute, isn't he with? Isn't

268
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett like playing for somebody else?

269
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: Yes, so is Dorian Thompson Robinson, So is Joe Flacco,

270
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: So is Jameis Winston. It's you almost can't believe it.

271
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: But then when they tell you it's the Brown, you say,

272
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: oh okay, like it just becomes acceptable. Eight quarterbacks.

273
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: Wow.

274
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: And if that's not enough for you, Steve, I also

275
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: have a Jets note for you, because you know I'm

276
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: always up for it.

277
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: Some Jets, right.

278
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: I gotta give ESPNS Bill Barnwell credit for this one.

279
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Across their final seventeen games when they had Robert Sala

280
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: as their head coach, the Jets had the league's best

281
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: defense by points per drive and EPA per play. In

282
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: their subsequent seventeen games without Sala, the Jets have had

283
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: the league's worst defense by the same metrics. They have

284
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: gone on from the best in the league in points

285
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: per drive allowed and EPA per play to last in

286
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: the league. And it only took them seventeen games because,

287
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: as you know, Salad was fired after I want to say,

288
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: four games, Yeah, yeah, is that well? And you say

289
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: to yourself, wow, really, and then somebody tells you it's

290
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: the Jets and you.

291
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: Go, oh, so they went from as soon as they

292
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: fired him, from that point to this they're the worst.

293
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Yep, they went from best to worst. Only took him

294
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: seventeen games.

295
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: Seventeen games. I mean, it's like took them like overnight.

296
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: Well, it's the five games this year and the twelve

297
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: games last year after he had been king.

298
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: That is, well, let's make a change, changes and always

299
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: for the better.

300
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: Right, let's make a change. Well, you want to get

301
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: better or worse.

302
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

303
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: Flip a coin, that's that's horrible.

304
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: Hey, Browns are still changing cornerbacks. They're paying for all

305
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: of them, but they're changing them. And Jets are still

306
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: paying Robert solid offset but still paying them. So that's

307
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Are we having fun yet? Presented by

308
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: cold of healthy brown or not? The Jets or Browns?

309
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: We used to be, well, we used to be. Yes,

310
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: that's true.

311
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: We were there for you know, a decade and a half.

312
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: You don't have to at least, but you know, you

313
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: get a you get a stable, smart owner in hire

314
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: some good people, steps back and let them work, hold

315
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: them accountable. Let's go pick the right guys. Five division

316
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: titles later, let's go.

317
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: It's I couldn't get it out of my mouth.

318
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 2: Sounds simple, but man, oh man.

319
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: They make it look so hard. And I'm not saying

320
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: it's easy.

321
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: But well it's not. You know, that's the thing. It's

322
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: not easy. Once you're there climbing out, it's not. It's

323
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: easy to fall there. You make it, to make the

324
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: wrong change, you fire the wrong guy, you make one

325
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: bad decision, and all of a sudden it starts to

326
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: it it's the dam burst and then every nothing goes

327
00:17:59,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: your way.

328
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Jets with as long as

329
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: it's gone, like we're talking like forty five years, never

330
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: take well, like, what were they they were in They

331
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: were in the AFC title game with Rex twice, that

332
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: was right. They were in the AFC title game with

333
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: Parcels in ninety seven, I want to say. And they

334
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: were in the AFC Title game in eighty two and

335
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: lost to the Dolphins.

336
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: I think that that's it.

337
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: That's really it.

338
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, even the sack exchange.

339
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: I just don't even know what human being can undertake

340
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: that and flip it, even if it takes them two years,

341
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like Aaron Glenn, like rich Semini,

342
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: who is the Jets reporter for ESPN and has covered

343
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: that team for about as long as I've covered this one,

344
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: like almost thirty years. Yeah, after the first half last week,

345
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: he said, I have seen the Adam Gase Jets. I

346
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: have seen the rich Co type Jets, which to me

347
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: is the nature of Jets football. Rich Co tite, he said,

348
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: I have seen I have seen Adam Gase's Jets. I

349
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: have seen the rich Co tite Jets and all of

350
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: them in between. That was their worst half of football

351
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: from the Jets I have ever seen, and that was

352
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: in Game five under Aaron Glenn. Wow, Like that statement

353
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: really should be in all caps bold and underlined. That

354
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: is saying something so good luck to them, Mayor and Glenn.

355
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: But I don't even think he's aware of how.

356
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: Big a job that is. He wasn't when he took

357
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: the job. No, man, I don't. And I'll say this too.

358
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: I believe Glenn was wanted that, not that not a

359
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: lot of guys didn't want it. But you know, I

360
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 2: think I, well, Aaron Glenn felt that's my job. Yeah,

361
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm going to be the guy who brings.

362
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: To the ownership of it.

363
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: To his credit, yes, but I think he got in

364
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: there and said, are you kidding me?

365
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: I think he's quickly realizing what a giant boulder it is,

366
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: and all he's got is him and a couple other dudes.

367
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 2: How steep a hill it is.

368
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: We want to get to you on the phone lines

369
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: at eight oh three oh five fifty. Got some people

370
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: waiting there, so we'll lead off with Mike in Rochester.

371
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: What do you got for us.

372
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: Mike, Hi, Christmas c taking for taking my call, and

373
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 5: I apologize ahead of ty.

374
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 6: Christ both sound like one of the guys you.

375
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 7: Were talking to on the store. But my question basically

376
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 7: is about the cornerback situation. Yeah, Now, do you explain

377
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 7: to me that Maxwell Harrison is not going to be

378
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 7: playing until November at the earliest.

379
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: Well, we don't know, We'll see.

380
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: Well, he could play. I mean, he could play any

381
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 2: point he want, they want him to, as soon as

382
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: he's ready. It doesn't matter in all likelihood.

383
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: It's we're looking at like a two week ramp up

384
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: when he does start practicing again. Anyway, go ahead, right, So.

385
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 7: I would just because the trade that line is November fourth, right, So,

386
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 7: and I don't think Dorian Strong's playing the rest of

387
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 7: the season, or at least not anytime in the immediate future.

388
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 7: So my question is, is they're a realistic trade target

389
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 7: that is out there that could fit within the Bills

390
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 7: cap situation because I just don't trust to Davius White

391
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 7: as being the number two outside corner for the whole

392
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 7: season because as you guys that I called before to meet,

393
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 7: this is a Super Bowl or bus season and to me,

394
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 7: it's not about winning a lot of games, because they're

395
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 7: gonna do that regardless of who's playing outside of Corner.

396
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 7: It's about getting to the super Bowl and winning it.

397
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 7: And I'm just not sure he's good enough at this

398
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 7: stage of his career.

399
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see, I see what you're saying, Mike, and

400
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 2: I'll say I would say this. I don't know that

401
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 2: the Bills know who they what they've got at Corner.

402
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: I know they know Tradeavius. Of course, they know Christian Benford,

403
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: cam Lewis. Those guys they know, But Max Harriston, Dorian Strong.

404
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't think they have given up on those guys

405
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: completely for the season. And I don't think they feel

406
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 2: at this point that they want to put I don't

407
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: want to put assets into that spot where they may

408
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: have two young guys that are going to be there.

409
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: It wasn't And I know that Steph Diggs had a

410
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: great game against the Bills on Sunday night, but I

411
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: don't think they think that is the tipping point cornerback

412
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: number two is the tipping point for doing something. I

413
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: think they've got other ideas. I think they like this

414
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: roster a lot. They're just not they don't have access

415
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: to all of it. Yet I think they're going to

416
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: get a boost when Ogun, Jobey and Hoyd come back there,

417
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: at least they believe they will. They think like Caante

418
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: Jenkins is going to get healthy, Strong is going to

419
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: get healthy, Max is going to get healthy. And I

420
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 2: think that they're willing to ride this tough patch out,

421
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: even given the tough loss they suffered this last weekend

422
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: until they get to a point where they at least

423
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: know what they've got. They're gonna push it all the

424
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: way to the deadline, in my opinion, to find out

425
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: what they got in the building before they make a

426
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 2: move of what you're talking about, because they believe they

427
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: can still win games with the guys they've got. They've

428
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: proven that obviously, so they're gonna wait until they know

429
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 2: what they have in the building. And I don't think

430
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 2: they do that yet. They do they know yet, They

431
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: they don't know what Hoyit Nogan job you're gonna do,

432
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: if anything, and if they don't bring anything, then you

433
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: got another problem, right, So they're not gonna I think

434
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: They're gonna sit tight and find and push it all

435
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: the way to the deadline before doing something that may

436
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: or may not be needed in the long term. I'm

437
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: talking about obviously, you want to win every game in

438
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: this week's a big game and you gotta do it,

439
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: and and everybody's a little bit uneasy because of the

440
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: way the last game went. It's a it's a precarious situation.

441
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: You feel like if your offense doesn't show up or

442
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 2: turns it over like they did, you lose. Yeah, that's

443
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: that's not just the Bills. That's about everybody. So we'll see. Yeah.

444
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean, as for corners out there that could be moved,

445
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: Rek Wooling up in Seattle as a guy that can move,

446
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: I just don't see him as a fit for Buffalo

447
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: because he's not a willing tackler in the run game,

448
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: not a great run supports at the edge corner. And

449
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: we know that that is a prerequisite for outside corners here.

450
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: But at the same time, beggars can't be choosers. He's

451
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: got a five and a half million dollars salary pro rated,

452
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, amount of that, You know, with what do

453
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: we got eleven games, twelve games left, three point five

454
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: free and change. You know, you might be able to

455
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: fit that under especially if you send a player the

456
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: other way. Dollars out for dollars in Teams just aren't

457
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: readily willing to part with corners that can play because

458
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: they're a hot commodity. They're important. I mean, even the

459
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: trade that the Browns and the Jags made involved a

460
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: swap of corners, so nobody really lost anything at the position,

461
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: so to say, so, we'll have to see, because corners

462
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: are about as hard to find as offensive tackles. So

463
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: I think it's tough to pry one away from a team,

464
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: and you often have to pay a premium unless you're

465
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: sending a player of equal caliber the other way. I mean,

466
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: you think just two years ago, the Bills had to

467
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: give up a third round pick to get Rasul Douglas

468
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: away from the Packers, and that took about two weeks

469
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: of negotiating because they kept wanting more and more and

470
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: more and wouldn't do the deal unless they, you know,

471
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: gave up more. So that's a lot to consider. We

472
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: are up against the break here, so we will step aside,

473
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: but we'll take more of your phone calls when we return.

474
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: Bob and Syracuse will lead us off next here on

475
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Colid of Health. It's Buffalo

476
00:25:46,800 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, back here on one of Bill's

477
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: Live on a Thursday. We'll have some comments from the

478
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: practice field after practice when they go to the post

479
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: practice podium. Later on in the show. Also have Thurman Thomas,

480
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer, coming up in the second hour

481
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: of the program. But back to the phones, we go

482
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: in as promised to Bob in Syracuse. What's up, Bob.

483
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 8: He great to talk to you guys again. Just wanted

484
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 8: to make a couple of quick comments. You know, I

485
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 8: see a lot there's a lot of criticism about our

486
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 8: obviously our defense, our secondary but when you look at

487
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 8: the entire NFL, we all know this that you know,

488
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 8: teams are going to have their weaknesses, right, there's no

489
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 8: more complete NFL teams anymore in this day and age.

490
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 8: The closest we have probably is Detroit and Tilly. Besides that,

491
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 8: everyone has their weaknesses, especially in the a f C.

492
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 8: And all those games that that that Kansas City won

493
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 8: were similar to the game that was played on on

494
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 8: Sunday night with us. We have to lose that game.

495
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 8: They won those games, but that doesn't really matter. But

496
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 8: my point is we did address the quarterback position, especially

497
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 8: we especially considering we needed speed, right Maxwell Harrison had

498
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 8: has that those intangibles that we needed to be able

499
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 8: to correct some of the issues we had in the

500
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 8: secondary last year. I would have liked to see them

501
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 8: go a little bit earlier with another corner potentially or

502
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 8: safety instead of Land and Jackson. But that's here, that's

503
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 8: hearsay or I mean, that's you know, it's easy to

504
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 8: criticize now, but at the end of the day, I

505
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 8: have to tell you, and I honestly believe this that

506
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 8: this season, especially the secondary, is going to come down

507
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 8: to whether or not Harriston can play and how effective

508
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 8: he's going to be. Just like you said, there is

509
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 8: no time to be able to plug in a super

510
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 8: talented corner to this secondary. But we cannot continue down

511
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 8: this road to have that soft coverage. We're just gonna

512
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 8: get killed. But I believe that Harrison will be in

513
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 8: full force and back on the field against Miami.

514
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: And do you want me to.

515
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 8: Tell you how I know that?

516
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: How do you know that?

517
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 8: Because when I was at the game Friday, I mean

518
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 8: Sunday night, and you know, of course I don't want

519
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 8: to to overstep my my any intel that I must

520
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 8: that I may have, but I did run into Maxwell's

521
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 8: entire family. I did just speak to his dad and

522
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 8: I asked him. I looked a him right in the eye.

523
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 8: I said, when is your boy coming back? He said,

524
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 8: he looked great at me, without any any hesitation, he said,

525
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 8: week ten.

526
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll listen to that.

527
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: It sounds great, and I'll sign up for it too.

528
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: I'll sign up for it. That's one of the reasons

529
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: I think nobody's panicking. It sounds like we're all nervous.

530
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: Nervous is over here, you know, on our show with

531
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: the callers and stuff about the cornerback position and the defense.

532
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: And let's not forget you know, they're winning the way

533
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: they're their recipe for winning. With Tradevius on the field,

534
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: with all these injuries, with Ed Oliver only playing one game,

535
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: all this stuff going on, there's still four and one.

536
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: They've got a pretty good roster that can make up

537
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: for the deficiencies that they're experiencing. It's not gonna look perfect,

538
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be. There's still a tough team to beat.

539
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: The Patriots will tell you how tough they are to beat.

540
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: In fact, I don't know if the Patriots are walking

541
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: out of the saying we beat them, but they but

542
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: we got the win, you know what I mean. And

543
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: if so, the Bills certainly are gonna have to protect

544
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: the football, and there you don't. I don't think it's

545
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: gonna look like the Bills are shifting gears and running

546
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: off and leaving people to do. It's gonna look a

547
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: little hurky jerky until they get all their guys healthy.

548
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: But I still think they're gonna win a ton of games.

549
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: A ton of games come up.

550
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the week ten game, you know, against Miami

551
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: is five weeks away, a little less than five weeks away,

552
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: so we'll see if it holds to that. Let's go

553
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: to Steve and Alabama. What's up, Steve?

554
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 9: Hey, Chris, Howse Steve? How you guys doing. It's been

555
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 9: a while. I'm my old time Bill's one Bill's Live.

556
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 9: Go back to the murth Day, Okay, and used to

557
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 9: go Yeah, I used to go down and still go

558
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 9: down to the Senior Bowl. Used to meet Murph down

559
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 9: there every year at all and so and Steve got

560
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 9: a chance to meet you in New Orleans.

561
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

562
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 9: We were going to see Flutie play and Rob Johnson

563
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 9: wound up Okay, if you remember.

564
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: Turn Back the Clock there you go.

565
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, yes, yea, and Steve was cutting himself.

566
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 9: A little slack on being a receiver. I remember the

567
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 9: Miami game that I had your whole game plan. Uh,

568
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 9: you bobbed around Steve with the end around play and all.

569
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 9: I'm sure you remember that, even like Julian Edelman in

570
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 9: the West Walker before those days. Anyway, but I just

571
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 9: wanted to say, I'm actually bringing my granddaughter up for

572
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 9: her birthday to Atlanta bun Day and looking forward to

573
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 9: seeing you guys, and glad we hopefully got the clunker

574
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 9: out of the way and hopefully we're going to have

575
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 9: a victory in Atlanta for this birthday. So we're looking

576
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 9: forward to seeing you guys.

577
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, look forward to seeing you too, Steve, and

578
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: save travels on the trip. Yeah, we're kind of hoping

579
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: the Bills get back on track. Obviously not going to

580
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: be an easy environment. Probably important to take the crowd

581
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: out of it early because the Falcons fans generally are

582
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: a front running crowd when their teams are out in front.

583
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: And there it will going to be their first primetime

584
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: game in a minute.

585
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: Well, they played Sunday night on the road. Yeah, so

586
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: that's right on the road.

587
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: That's right.

588
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: They've got one, and this number two might be h

589
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: might be.

590
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: A raucous crowd. I think it will be.

591
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: I think so too, at least at the start. But

592
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, you march down the field, you put up

593
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: some points.

594
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: Quiet them down.

595
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that could happen, so you know, make it well.

596
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: The Bills need to get back on the turnover band

597
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: wagon and turn out a couple of those. Those are

598
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: always I just help.

599
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: I just know there are a lot of Western New

600
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: York transplants that live in the greater Atlanta area.

601
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: I got mine.

602
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: I am expecting I've got full blown takeover. But you're

603
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna notice.

604
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: We've got family dead white, We've got family down there.

605
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: They're Atlanta's. They've been there for a couple of days,

606
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: so old mine are going down to visit them and

607
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: going to the game.

608
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's gonna happen.

609
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: It's a thing. It's an you know how you can't

610
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: go anywhere without going through Atlanta anyway, right if you're

611
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: if everybody's traveled out of Buffalo, you go through Atlanta anyway.

612
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: It's an easy flight direct people are gonna.

613
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks to our good friends at Delta.

614
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: Good friends at Delta game sponsors. Even if you don't

Speaker 2: travel But dad, that's uh well, And at this point

619
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: in history, Bill's mafia travels extremely well. So you'll see him.

620
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: You'll see him.

621
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: So I will officially say this week's game at the

622
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: Falcons is presented by Delta from takeoff to touchdown. They

623
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: are the official airline of the Buffalo Bills. As we

624
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: chartered with those fine folks as well.

625
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: Oh that's yeah. They they've done that in my entire

626
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 2: my entire career as well. It was it was Delta,

627
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah, pretty sure.

628
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: Is there is there something that you heard from coach

629
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: McDermott today that kind of made you pause for a second.

630
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he obviously has a lot of respect for

631
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: b Jeon Robinson and his abilities as a runner and

632
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: a receiver, because, in case you didn't know, Bjeon Robinson

633
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: is the leading receiver on the Falcons as well as

634
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: the leading rusher.

635
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think they're going to triple team

636
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: that dude.

637
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: I think I don't.

638
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: Well, don't blanket over him.

639
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can afford to, though, with

640
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: that much attention, that's a lot.

641
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: Because make him beat you left handed? Man, You got

642
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: to make can beat you left handed. I know it's

643
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: they've got some scary athletes and some scary weapons out there.

644
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: But you take the top guy off and you're forcing

645
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 2: a quarterback now to have make different decisions. He may

646
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: miss on one or two, and that's all you need.

647
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: He's been a little up and down.

648
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 2: That's all you need.

649
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: Take you take the main dude.

650
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: How many? I mean we know that from watching the

651
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: NFL for as long as we have. If you chop

652
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 2: off the top, they got to beat you with what's left.

653
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: It's not easy.

654
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and their defense is hard to figure out too. Again,

655
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: there's talent there, But then you look at some of

656
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: the point totals they've given up. I mean, they gave

657
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: up thirty points to the Carolina Panthers. How does that happen?

658
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: That's a really good question, especially a division team. You know,

659
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: we talk all the time about division games being tight,

660
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: usually one score games, thirty to nothing, Like exactly, that's

661
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: did you have guys disguised in your uniforms and you

662
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: guys didn't make the trip, Like, what's what is that?

663
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: How that thirty to.

664
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 2: I gotta go back and watch that game. I do too,

665
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 2: now that you mentioned it, we've been talking, we've we've

666
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: mentioned it. I mean they get they won thirty to nothing.

667
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 2: You know, a week after they lost thirty to nothing,

668
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: they lost, Yes, right, they lost thirty to nothing. A

669
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: week after they won twenty two to six, they beat

670
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: a team by double Minnesota, a good team right on

671
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: the road.

672
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: McCarthy got hurt in that game, left, I want to say,

673
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, and it all went to hell

674
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 1: in a hand basket there pretty quick.

675
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they're riding the roller coaster they are.

676
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: They've won, they've lost, they've won, they've lost. So they've

677
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 1: traded wins and losses in each of their first four games.

678
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: Now they're coming off the buye here. Logic would say,

679
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: with an extra week to self scout and come up

680
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: with extra plans, maybe a few extra wrinkles for your

681
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: offense and defense. But there's also the chance it could

682
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: be a little rusty, so yeah, yeah, which I would

683
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: welcome it used to be as well.

684
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: Back back in my day when it was a little

685
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: more of the wild West. There's you always have some

686
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: guys here that would take off. You know, you give

687
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: them a couple of days off, they're out of town,

688
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 2: they're gone, and you hope they show up on time

689
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 2: for practice on you know what I'm saying next week.

690
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: So and when they show up, they're in bad shape.

691
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 2: You know, they knocked off about three weeks of training, right,

692
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 2: So it's some of that goes on. Ye, we'll see

693
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: sometimes it. McDermott's been really good after the buye.

694
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: He's undefeated.

695
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: But you know, Raheem Morris isn't McDermott is.

696
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. How do you know what to expect

697
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: from a team that's one lost, one lost and been

698
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: shut out in what by a by a substandard team?

699
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: Like you know what you're gonna get from these guys,

700
00:36:58,640 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: they really don't.

701
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: I There are a lot of symptoms of a young

702
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: football team in what you see in the in the Falcons,

703
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 2: little immature, little they front run really well, but they

704
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: don't close games out. They it's all good when it

705
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: goes well, but when it goes bad. They they just

706
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: they pull the ripcord and that's it. You know, there's

707
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: no off exactly. It seems like that. Yeah, you know,

708
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 2: you and I we're a million miles away, but that's

709
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 2: Those are symptoms of young teams that are still trying

710
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: to find their leadership and their voice. And a first

711
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 2: year head coach as well. No, I think it's Raheem

712
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: was he there last year? Okay, second year?

713
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: No, second year because Arthur Smith was there right two

714
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: years ago.

715
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: So that's it's a symptom of a young team. And

716
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: I think, and you know it's you kind of kind

717
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 2: of ride through those rough spots. Yeah, the Bills did

718
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 2: it with Josh m hm.

719
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about this game is for me historically

720
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: is the last time the Bills played down there, the

721
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: Bills were the young, you know team under new leadership

722
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: and head coach Sean McDermott, trying to build themselves into

723
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: a relevant contending team, and they were facing a reigning

724
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: league MVP and a team with Super Bowl aspirations, and

725
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: they go in there and they upset them. I could

726
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: hide on an interception, Tredevius White had a fifty three

727
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: yard fumble return for a touchdown and they beat the

728
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: Falcons on the road. They're going down to that place

729
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: eight years later, the roles are reversed. The Falcons are

730
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: the young team trying to prove they can be relevant

731
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: and a contender in the NFC, and they're facing a

732
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: defending league MVP and a team that's you know one

733
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: and has Super Bowl aspirations. So it's it's a complete

734
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: reverse scenario for these two teams eight years later. I

735
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: just I found that interesting, So I don't know, those

736
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: are the things I cling to.

737
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: So the Bill went down and they beat him twenty

738
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: three seventeen, And I remember, too, what was a big

739
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: part of that, just like it is now. Turnovers in

740
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: that game. You know, that's when Poyer and Hyde were

741
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: like yep, all of a sudden, it's like, wow, who

742
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: are these guys.

743
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: I had a deep pick on a post route that

744
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: he ran under, and like I said, TRADEVI has had

745
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: that fumble return like right near midfield, took scooped it

746
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: up and went fifty three yards yeah, for a touchdown,

747
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: and they upset him. I think that was the first

748
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: year that that stadium was open too. I think that

749
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: was the first year. It was the first season it

750
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: was open for football. It might be right because it's

751
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: about eight years old, and I remember what a big

752
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: deal it was with that they have a ring ribbon

753
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: board suspended from the ceiling. They don't have him mounted

754
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: on the facade or the seating areas of the stadium.

755
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: It's a pretty unique place and as we know, they

756
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: play a ton of college games there.

757
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 2: Two.

758
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: That's why James Cook's going, I feel right at home.

759
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: It's played a fair share of games there. SEC title.

760
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: If he's been in this locker room.

761
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: Oh well, it depends of his team, was the home

762
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: or visits.

763
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: Why I ask it, I remember what. You go into

764
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 2: these buildings in different times, and the locker rooms are different.

765
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: Some of them have like like three locker rooms or

766
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: four locker rooms, depending on what's going on. So yeah,

767
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: that'll be interesting because familiarity's nice when you head into

768
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: these places.

769
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: I think. So I gotta take a break here. When

770
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll tell you who's heating up and

771
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: what's cooling down. Our friends at Tea, Mark Hvac and

772
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: Plumbing will help us with that when we return here.

773
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: On one Bill's Live presented by co Lot of Health,

774
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Al right back here on one

775
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: Bills Live, and it's sign for Heating Up and Cooling Down,

776
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: presented by Tea Mark Hvac and Plumbing, the official residential

777
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: HVAC partner of the Buffalo Bills. Heating Up. This is

778
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: more of a prediction, right James Cook coming off a

779
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: I guess what we would call a subpar performance last

780
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: week with fifteen carries for forty nine yards, Steve believes

781
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: it's going to change considerably this week against the Falcons

782
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: in Atlanta.

783
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: If you want to take the starch out of a

784
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: good pass rush, which Atlanta does have a good pass rush,

785
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: I think you run right at it. And the Bills

786
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: have a good running game. James Cook, with a down

787
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 2: week last week, is going to be fired up to

788
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: get back in the saddle, and I think the offensive

789
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: line wants him to as well, and I think they'll

790
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: give them the opportunity. I mean, that's part of what

791
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: makes this we've been talking about the last couple of days.

792
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 2: Part of what makes all you all you can eat,

793
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: part of what makes everybody eats work is the run game.

794
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: It keeps the defense on their heels in the secondary,

795
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: so your your white house can get loose, and it's

796
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: cook is the ingredient that makes it work.

797
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: Falcons are average against the run, sixteenth in the league,

798
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: so make of it what you will. Cooling down the

799
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: turnover margin, yeah, Bill's had gone twenty five games without

800
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: losing the turnover margin a season and a half and

801
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: that came to an end on Sunday Night. Football turned

802
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,479
Speaker 1: it over three times, the first time that's happened since

803
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: Week eighteen of the twenty twenty three season. So it's

804
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: been a minute since they turned the ball over three times.

805
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: They were a minus two in the game, which you

806
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: don't see very often. Yeah, usually they're even or they're plus.

807
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 2: Be in a minute since they've lost it, and they

808
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: lost it minus two, So it wasn't you know, by

809
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 2: narrow margin. So that has that streak has come to

810
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: an end. We've seen others come to an end. But

811
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: I don't think it changes the identity of the club.

812
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: I still think they're a get back to taking care

813
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 2: of the foot. Yeah, they take care of the football.

814
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: So whether they get turnovers or not, the Bills have

815
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: historically and even recent history, been a very good team

816
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: at protecting it. And I think that'll continue or get

817
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 2: back on track.

818
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones and to John in Detroit.

819
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: What do you got first?

820
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 10: John, Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks for telling you my call.

821
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 7: Sure you just beat needed to punch a little bit there.

822
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 10: Chris remembering back the Atlanta game the Bills played there

823
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 10: in twenty seventeen. It was the first year I decided,

824
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 10: right after my retirement, I was going to go all

825
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 10: in on the Bills, and I just felt that the

826
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 10: draft was going to be over with and I informed

827
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 10: my son that I was going to go down and

828
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 10: see if Bills away game in Atlanta, and he said,

829
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 10: you could have picked a better one, Dad, He said,

830
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 10: you just all that money to see a lot. And

831
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 10: once we got there Alanda fans, you could tell that

832
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 10: they were very certain that this was going to be

833
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 10: their game. And it was only the second game you're

834
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 10: correct about the Mercedes Benz Stadium was their second home

835
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 10: game ever. And when Tredavi has picked up that fumble,

836
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 10: we just knew things were going to turn. It was

837
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 10: getting pretty quiet with the Falcons fans. And then Houshtrak

838
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 10: kicks to fifty six and the fifty five yard field

839
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 10: goals within the last five minutes. And I'll say I

840
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 10: got the full lesson on my first trip out of

841
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 10: town with the Bills Mafia because they had a nice

842
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 10: pre party and I was sold. That's what got me

843
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 10: going to away game every year, and I went all

844
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 10: in with the season tickets. But that game and I

845
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 10: have I have the same kind of feeling going back

846
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 10: into them going to Atlanta. I'm not going to the game.

847
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 10: I wouldn't mind going, but that was a big turnaround game,

848
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 10: and you know, Tyrod Taylor was still a quarterback. But

849
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 10: I got the last laugh of my son, who was

850
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 10: quite surprised that Bills came up with the victory.

851
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when you're happy to be wrong. Thanks John

852
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: for the phone call that.

853
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 2: You know that that season doesn't get enough credit for

854
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 2: how unbelievable it was. I still believe one of the

855
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 2: great moments in franchise history bar none, was when the

856
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: team after the twenty seventeen season, after the end of

857
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,959
Speaker 2: the first year head coaches tenure, first year there after

858
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 2: taking over a seventeen year drought roster, then trading some

859
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 2: good players away, being accused of tanking, getting the most

860
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 2: out of that roster and the entire team, city, fan base, worldwide,

861
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: whatever it was, watches them get in the playoffs together. Yea,

862
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: when Andy Dalton throws that thing to Tyler Boyd. You know,

863
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: we all know the story. That is one of the

864
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 2: great moments in franchise history. And that season, for what

865
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 2: they accomplished and Sean McDermot accomplished, has never gotten enough

866
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 2: credit because it's been overshadowed by expectations, now right, you know,

867
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 2: not having it happen the way, not having you know,

868
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 2: have got having gotten to the super Bowl. Oh yet,

869
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: just a couple of AFC Championship games, disappointment and heartbreak

870
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 2: and unbelievably close losses in crushing moments, all that stuff

871
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: that kind of overshadows how unbelievable that moment was just

872
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 2: unbelievable and it is an absolute all timer and just

873
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 2: uh and that was the season of this. At that

874
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 2: Atlanta game that we're talking about, this was the culmination

875
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 2: of a see it is absolutely an all time moment.

876
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: I just I could watch it all day every day.

877
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 2: It's just the best. So that was part of the win,

878
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 2: one of the wins. They got him in. They got

879
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: him in, you know, same season.

880
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to Ron in Buffalo next. What's up? Ron?

881
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

882
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 11: How you doing?

883
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 4: I'm wondering about, like, how uh how the linebacking situation.

884
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I know that Dory Williams is out, Millanos out,

885
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,399
Speaker 4: and why we're not putting a spy on with these

886
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 4: U running quarterbacks and you know, I think I think

887
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 4: we had to run a fullback would Cook this week

888
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 4: and just pounded up the uh huh, pounded up, just

889
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 4: pounded up the medal with team. His Cook is good

890
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 4: over there in Georgia.

891
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, Ron, I'll tell you they have used the

892
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: spy on mobile quarterbacks this season. Most of the time

893
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: it's been Bernard And I mean they didn't have a

894
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: problem with Drake May last week. He had three three

895
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: carries for twelve yards. That's keeping that guy in check.

896
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: And if you watch his first four games, he had

897
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: a lot more than that in each of the first

898
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: four games this season. Uh, and he makes it look easy.

899
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: So they did a good job of keeping him under wraps.

900
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 1: There was a lot of good things the defense did

901
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: in last week's game. I mean, they held the Patriots

902
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: the three of nine on third down conversions. They got

903
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: two stops in the red zone, including one where they

904
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: came away with nothing. So I just think, oh no, sorry,

905
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: that's the week before with the Saints. But they did

906
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: get two stops in the red zone, and they got

907
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: hits on the quarterback. I mean four sacks, eight quarterback

908
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: hits and six tackles for loss. Like I understand, Diggs

909
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 1: had a day. But for as shorthanded as they are,

910
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: they checked a lot of the boxes and check them all. Yeah,

911
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: but they checked a lot of the boxes last week.

912
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 2: This is not a This is not a week to

913
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 2: you know, pile on the defense. It was the offense

914
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 2: turning it over that really sabotaged their ability to win.

915
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 2: And you're right, and this is ron. They may put

916
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: a full back in and they may go thirteen personnel

917
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: and say it's we're gonna power this team into the

918
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 2: end zone. Let's go. They may do that.

919
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 1: They've done it already.

920
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: It has. It has been a point of contention for

921
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 2: the Falcons to stop the run really hard. They're middle

922
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 2: of the pack, exactly middle. They're sixteenth. They're middle of

923
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 2: the pack run defense. They're very good pass defense, but

924
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 2: they are middle of the pack run defense, and the

925
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 2: Bills run it well we'll see if it happens.

926
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 1: And they've used Reggie Gilliam, whether it's the offset eye.

927
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: They put them on the wing, sometimes with two tight

928
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: ends on the other side, so they're already using him,

929
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: but maybe not in the traditional sense that you're thinking of,

930
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: but they have even gone a little bit eye formation.

931
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here. More of your phone calls

932
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: in hour number two when we return here on One

933
00:49:33,800 --> 00:50:16,360

Speaker 2: This the One Bill's Lines presented by Callida Health.

935
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: All right, welcome to our number two here on a Thursday,

Speaker 1: the phone lines are open to you at eight oh

939
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,120

Speaker 1: two five fifteen, and we do have open lines. But

941
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: back to the phones we go, and to Bill in

942
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: Old Forge. What's up Bill?

943
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 12: Hey, guys, I hate to be a dead horse about

944
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 12: the receiver position, but every year we seem to go

945
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 12: through this. Look when banside we were set at the

946
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 12: receiver position before the season started, A lot of people

947
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 12: are really skeptical of it. A lot of people are

948
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 12: scoptical of the everybody eats because they score thirty points

949
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 12: a game, we're supposed to kind of ignore that. And

950
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 12: I always say, hey, maybe score forty points a game

951
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 12: you finally get to the super Bowl. I'm not the

952
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 12: sky is falling. This team is great. They got their holes,

953
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 12: just like any other team, and they're probably gonna fix

954
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 12: it and they're gonna win twelve thirteen games more than

955
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 12: likely by the end.

956
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:16,919
Speaker 8: Of the year.

957
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 12: So it's not sky is falling. But I'm watching the

958
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 12: game the other day and Alan scrambling running around trying

959
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 12: to extend the play like he always does, and he's

960
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 12: a magician, ed he's great at he can make all

961
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 12: the throws out of any quarterback in the league, and

962
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 12: nobody's open, and watching on TV, you're not really sure

963
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 12: what's going on downfield, but automatically assuming, hey man, Allen's

964
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 12: gonna find a guy if he's open, and the amount

965
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 12: of times you couldn't find somebody, I'm like, i gotta

966
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 12: go with the obvious that guys are not getting separation.

967
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 12: And it turns out from what I'm hearing experts on

968
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 12: TV and on the radio in the days after that

969
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 12: seems to be true. So my question is this they

970
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 12: brought in gave Davis and I said from there I

971
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 12: thought being a little nervous going in the season, and

972
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 12: it was kind of condemnation on the supposedly wors set

973
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,479
Speaker 12: at receiver when he brought him in. Are they gonna

974
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 12: do what they do every year? Do you think and

975
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 12: make a move and make a trade mid season for receiver?

976
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 12: Because right now these guys aren't getting it done. Who's

977
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 12: to say they won't get it done moving forward, But

978
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 12: Elijah Morra has already been a healthy scratch for a week.

979
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 12: He was the guy they brought in. Palmer so far

980
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 12: hasn't really done much to deserve the money he's getting paid.

981
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 12: Samuel two years ago hasn't really earned the money. It

982
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 12: seems like Bean's getting it wrong at receiver over and

983
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 12: over again. What do you think they're gonna do moving forward?

984
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 12: Are they gonna make a trade? Are they just gonna

985
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 12: go this season with the guys they got.

986
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 2: It's a good point. I don't know, because last year,

987
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 2: you remember, they were playing really well doing this, winning

988
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 2: a bunch of games, and they traded for Amari Cooper.

989
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: They may do that again. I think Gabe Davis is

990
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 2: a different animal in this situation. I think they brought

991
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis in because of the guy he is, and

992
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 2: because you got Keyon in the room. You got more,

993
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 2: and you got Palmer guys who haven't been here, and

994
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 2: you got Gabe who has.

995
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: And you don't have Gabe here to be a separator

996
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: because he's right, got that right.

997
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 2: You got Gabe for culture. I think it's a lot

998
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 2: like Poorer being in the in the dB room. You

999
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,720
Speaker 2: got him for culture and as a as a break

1000
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 2: glass in case of emergency. This is and let's face it,

1001
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 2: this is not an emergency offensively, but I think that

1002
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 2: so I think those are two different things. But you're right.

1003
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 2: They did do it last year in the Everybody Eatsman mantra.

1004
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: They went out and got Cooper and brought him in.

1005
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 2: And the game that you remember Cooper really helping him

1006
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 2: in was the Chiefs game. He went down first thing

1007
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 2: he had that busted hand, He caught that ball one

1008
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 2: handed down the side on the first third down and

1009
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 2: away they went. He made a couple of catches last year.

1010
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 2: You know, he wasn't like the go to guy. He

1011
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 2: was just one more guy that helped. But they may

1012
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 2: do that. But I think at this point, being four

1013
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: and one and having the game go against the Patriots

1014
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 2: like it did, I still think they're gonna like, wait,

1015
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 2: just calm down a minute, right, We're gonna We're gonna

1016
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 2: continue to find out who we have. We think our

1017
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 2: defensive personnel is gonna change over the next month with

1018
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 2: guys getting healthy and guys getting off suspension. So we

1019
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: got to find out what that side of the ball is.

1020
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 2: And on the offensive side, gosh, we don't turn it

1021
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 2: over in that Patriots game, we still win. It might

1022
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 2: have been a close game, but they still win it,

1023
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,479
Speaker 2: so we'd be, what five and zero, but we're still

1024
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 2: four and one, So I don't think there's any panic

1025
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 2: on that side of the ball. But you're right, if

1026
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 2: you get to the playoffs, and I know fans think

1027
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 2: like this, you're thinking, well, what's gonna be that guy

1028
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 2: that makes the play that gets us to the Super

1029
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 2: Bowl and wins it for us, you know what I mean.

1030
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 2: So they feel like it's the same thing. And I

1031
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 2: would tell you this from a player's standpoint, it may

1032
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: look the same to the fans. It's vastly different year

1033
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 2: to year. It feels different in the locker room. Every

1034
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowl team was different that I played on every

1035
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: team from year to year, whether they won a bunch

1036
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 2: or lost a lot, it was all very different. You

1037
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 2: may feel like it's different on the same thing on

1038
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 2: the outside, but it's vastly different on the inside. And

1039
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 2: they've got different challenges and different opponents the whole thing.

1040
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 2: So it may look the same, but it's not. So

1041
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 2: They're gonna have different answers for the same questions this

1042
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 2: year and we'll see what those are.

1043
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: I also think they believe they have more natural talent

1044
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: in the receiving cores than they did.

1045
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 2: Last year at this time, more physical talent.

1046
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: It hasn't showed itself yet to you know, the caller's

1047
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: point with Palmer and Moore, So that's a valid point

1048
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 1: to make. But through five games, this is the number

1049
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: seven passing offense in football. They're fifteen yards per play

1050
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: in the past game and they're seventh in the league

1051
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: and third down conversion so and they're averaging thirty and

1052
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: a half points a game. I think things have to

1053
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: change significantly to prompt them and look I'm gonna tip

1054
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: my hat to the Patriots too, because you have two

1055
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: very good outside man cover corners in Carlton Davis and

1056
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: Christian Gonzalez, their first round draft choice. I mean that kid.

1057
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: I said it when he came out two years ago.

1058
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 1: No one makes playing cornerback look more effortless right now

1059
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: than Christian Gonzalez. He doesn't have it all figured out,

1060
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 1: but if you tell him, hey, you got that guy,

1061
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: go cover him, he can do that. So I think

1062
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 1: we got to take last week's game with a grain

1063
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: of salt. Hopefully it's hopefully it's the exception, not the rule.

1064
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: If it's not and we're proven otherwise, and it's proven otherwise,

1065
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: well then yeah, then maybe something does have to happen.

1066
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. Yeah, the Bills offense stumbled badly this

1067
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,439
Speaker 2: last week, and even in the point where you made

1068
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 2: as well about Joshua around not being able to find somebody. Yeah,

1069
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 2: that's that's something we haven't seen.

1070
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: Playing two good cover corners though on the outside, and

1071
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: even Marcus Jones as the nickel made a couple of

1072
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: really nice plays. First on the interception on the lay

1073
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: ball over the middle, and that's two really good pass

1074
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: breakups in mismatches. You know, Brady gets Keon Coleman on

1075
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Jones, who's a five to nine, one eighty pound corner.

1076
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: He gets him on the outside on a sideline route

1077
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: and Marcus Jones basically vertical leaps thirty eight inches and

1078
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: knocks the ball over the sideline out of pounds. That's

1079
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: a tremendous play by an undersized dB. So they got

1080
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: the matchup they wanted. He just made a better play

1081
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: and that was part of the equation in that game.

1082
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: Last week, let's go to Steve in Saint Petersburg. What

1083
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: do you got for Steve? Hello, Steve.

1084
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 13: Oh, it's a big slim not Steve.

1085
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, okay, I'm just reading what's on the screen here.

1086
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 2: Sorry big Oh, my bed, my.

1087
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 8: Bed, I'm sorry.

1088
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 13: A couple of things. I'm kind of a little bit

1089
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 13: scared of the atl game just because of Steve was

1090
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 13: talking about the defense. Now, when I'm looking back at

1091
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 13: the couple games of Atlanta played, they got shut out

1092
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 13: by Carolina, yep, and then they beat a Washington Commanders

1093
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 13: team with a backup quarterback. I'm just I don't know,

1094
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 13: I guess I just want to see what you guys

1095
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 13: take is on that.

1096
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, as we said earlier, they're very inconsistent. They don't

1097
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: play with a tremendous amount of consistency, as evidence by

1098
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: their first four games win loss, win loss. Steve thinks

1099
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: it might be a little bit of their youth and immaturity.

1100
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: You know, you got a second of your quarterback, but

1101
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't even played sixteen games yet. He only made

1102
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: six starts last year and he's made four this year

1103
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: and almost got benched. I mean Kirk Cousins had to

1104
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: come in and finish one of those games, I know. So, Yeah,

1105
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: it's they have super uber talented pieces, particularly at the

1106
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: skill positions. I mean they got six first round picks

1107
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: on offense. Four of them are top ten guys Pits London,

1108
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: Bijon Pennix, all our top ten draft choices, like the

1109
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: elite of the elite.

1110
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're athletes.

1111
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: They have high end talent, but they just haven't pulled

1112
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,959
Speaker 1: it all together in a team concept yet on both

1113
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: sides of the.

1114
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 2: Ball, right, And you're right there, it's a little been

1115
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 2: a little inconsistent. I'll say one thing you look for too,

1116
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't know that they've got their game day adjustment

1117
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,919
Speaker 2: stuff going on with the coaching staff just right. Yet,

1118
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 2: I think they you can see some of the stuff

1119
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 2: they're doing, but it's been it's it's been herky jerky

1120
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 2: like I like I said the Bills, some of the

1121
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 2: Bills wins are gonna look like uh but until their

1122
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 2: defense gets smooth and healthy and all that. But this

1123
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 2: Atlanta team is exactly like that. They hit some spots

1124
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 2: where they are slick and they're good, but then there's

1125
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 2: also some times where they can't get out of their

1126
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 2: own way. It depends on which Atlanta Falcons team shows

1127
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: up and how they're playing on any given series, because

1128
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 2: it's it's within like I said, you look at you

1129
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 2: just look at their schedule the most general way, they're

1130
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 2: riding that roller coaster. So yeah, you'll see some things

1131
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 2: that give you hope when you see them play, but

1132
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 2: you also see some things like wow, I don't know.

1133
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And here's here's another example of that. At least

1134
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: through the numbers, the Bills lead the league in time

1135
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: of possession thirty four minutes and ten seconds a game

1136
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: of possession time, and as we said, they score thirty

1137
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: points six points per game through the first five weeks.

1138
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta is second in the league in time of possession

1139
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: at thirty three and a half minutes. They only score

1140
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: nineteen points a game, so something is missing there clearly.

1141
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: And the biggest problem for them is the red zone,

1142
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: where they ranked twenty sixth in the league, and I

1143
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: think they're down in the low twenties also on the

1144
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. So they've got to fix

1145
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: things in the red zone and just come up with

1146
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: better answers down there, because they're almost scoring half the

1147
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: amount of points that the Bills are despite having the

1148
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: ball just as long in a game as Buffalo. Let's

1149
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: go to Matt in Hamburg next. What's up, Matt?

1150
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 5: Hey, Hey, guys, good good, just calling because you've heard

1151
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 5: it a few times. I don't know that I know

1152
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 5: that in the past. Our team, you know, we putting

1153
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 5: up thirty points a game last year.

1154
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 8: We think we're okay.

1155
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 6: We started off doing that. This season, we think we're okay.

1156
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 6: But I'm looking at our opponents. The Jets have averaged

1157
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 6: giving up thirty points a game, the Fins of average

1158
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 6: giving up twenty nine.

1159
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 5: The Pets, the.

1160
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 6: One team we lost to, they've only averaged giving out

1161
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 6: twenty points a game, but the Saints and the Ravens

1162
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 6: are even worse. They're all averaging giving up at least

1163
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 6: thirty points a game. So we've been playing horrendous defenses largely,

1164
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 6: and I'm just not sure. It doesn't say that we

1165
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 6: absolutely have to get a receiver.

1166
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 9: It's a jest.

1167
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 6: We might, but I don't think that this core has

1168
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 6: shown anything yet this season because they haven't really been tested.

1169
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 6: In the one time they were, we lost.

1170
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. I mean, are the schedules soft?

1171
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 2: The Bills have a first play schedule, but as it

1172
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: turns out, I mean the NFC South with Carolina, Atlanta

1173
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 2: and Saint New Orleans, you know, and then the Bills

1174
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 2: Division with the Dolphins and the Jets. Yeah, you're right,

1175
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 2: you can make a case for that.

1176
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: But you can't blame them for who's on their schedule.

1177
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they don't have any control over that.

1178
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 2: You've got to play who you are, and you look

1179
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 2: how you look against these teams.

1180
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: But ah, it'll get tougher soon enough. Yeah, I mean,

1181
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, we know what they are. The Dolphins always

1182
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: are good about putting up points, and it's down there

1183
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: at their place. The Bucks look like they're for real,

1184
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: and the Texans are rounding into form after a rough start.

1185
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: So and then you got the Steelers on the road,

1186
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: which it's never easy in Pittsburgh. So that's kind of

1187
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: what it is. The tougher tests are coming. And I

1188
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: know for some fans they're like, well, it'll be too

1189
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: late then, because it'll be past the trade deadline. I

1190
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: get it, But.

1191
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 2: I mean, even so, you're still gonna have more. You

1192
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 2: feel like you're gonna have more weapons in your hip

1193
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 2: pocket with the guys that are getting healthy and coming

1194
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 2: off suspension defensively, that you're gonna be able to help.

1195
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 2: And I said this earlier, and I don't know if

1196
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 2: people get what I'm saying. You don't have to have

1197
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 2: a super Bowl defense and you don't have to have

1198
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: a super Bowl offense. You got to have a super

1199
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 2: Bowl team. They both. You've got to have all You

1200
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 2: gotta be firing on all cylinders, and certainly you've seen

1201
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 2: teams where it's all offense and very little defense, and

1202
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of defense and not very much offense.

1203
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 2: Both sides of the ball have to play well together

1204
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,479
Speaker 2: and they have to equal more than the other team does.

1205
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 2: It's that simple and right now, the Bill's offense should

1206
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 2: have been good enough to beat even the Patriots, but

1207
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 2: they did it to themselves. So I'm I'm with you.

1208
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 2: I know that we haven't been The schedule is what

1209
01:03:58,400 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 2: it is. But you can only go by what you know.

1210
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 2: Oh and so I'm not ready to I'm still not

1211
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 2: gonna push any you know in the lever on starting

1212
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 2: to change out the roster because we scored twenty points

1213
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 2: instead of thirty in a game.

1214
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they haven't played a team with a

1215
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: winning record yet, and that's probably not gonna happen until

1216
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: maybe Kansas City.

1217
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, think about that.

1218
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: So it's I mean, he's no, I mean right, it's

1219
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: a valid point. But again, you cannot fault the Bills

1220
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: for who they are scheduled to play. They don't make

1221
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: the schedule. It's just kind of how it worked out.

1222
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, through the first eleven games, it looks like they're

1223
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 2: gonna play two teams first eleven weeks. They're gonna play

1224
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 2: two teams with winning records, Chiefs and Bucks. Yeah, I

1225
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 2: mean two out of eleven.

1226
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: Right, But again it's out of their hands. Yeah, Like

1227
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: there's not much you can do there, So you just

1228
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: play who's in front of the next and just start

1229
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: stacking wins. Just keep stacking wins and look up at

1230
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: the end of the season and hopefully you're right where

1231
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: you want to be terms of wins and losses and

1232
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: in terms of the seating because we all know that

1233
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: the number one seed is the goal here, because we've

1234
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: seen the Chiefs for the better part of the last

1235
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: six years benefit enormously from playing one less playoff game

1236
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: every single year. They don't even step on the postseason

1237
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: field until the divisional round wild card. What's that. We

1238
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: don't bother with the wildcard round? Right, We only win

1239
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: the divisional round and then bang, we're in the championship,

1240
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: the conference championship game. That's how we usually do it.

1241
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 2: We don't have to leave town until the super Bowl. Yeah,

1242
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 2: so that's it's different. It's been enormously that's the idea.

1243
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 2: That is the idea that even the Super Bowl team

1244
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 2: of the nineties that were that's still in the you know,

1245
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 2: in the rear view mirror. Now three of those four

1246
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: championship games were in high Mark. It makes a difference.

1247
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: Back to the phones and to fred In Rochester.

1248
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 14: What's up, Fred, Guys, thanks for taking the call. I've

1249
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 14: got a question, not a couple of guys, and I'm

1250
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 14: I'm an equal opportunity guy, So I'm going to take

1251
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 14: one offensive guy and one defensive guy. Kean Coleman. Uh.

1252
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 14: You know, everybody's gag got about this guy, and I

1253
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 14: you know, I know he's a pretty young guy. I'm

1254
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 14: kind of concerned with his you know, his these disciplinary

1255
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 14: things that you know, he's been called in on. I

1256
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 14: think he's been called in twice by the coach. Okay, well,

1257
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 14: I don't know. I think you might want to check

1258
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 14: that because I think it might be twice. But that

1259
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 14: that being you know, that being said, I'm hoping that

1260
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 14: he's you know, coming into the foal here.

1261
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 9: You know.

1262
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 14: Uh, I don't want to come down on anybody. He's

1263
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 14: a young player and he's got a lot of talent,

1264
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 14: don't get me wrong. I just I want to see

1265
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 14: a little bit more out of him as far as

1266
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 14: being a team players concerned. It's his second year.

1267
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: I believe.

1268
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 14: I want to see him step up a little bit

1269
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 14: and kind of join the crowd because it may just

1270
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 14: be my the way I'm looking at it, I don't know,

1271
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 14: but I'm a little concerned with him, and I'm going

1272
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 14: to be watching him real close on Monday night. The

1273
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 14: guy on defense is Joey Bosa, and I understand he's

1274
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 14: getting double teamed a lot, but if that's the case,

1275
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 14: somebody should be clear somewhere to put some pressure on him.

1276
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 14: And he also seems to get sucked inside an awful

1277
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 14: lot on plays that are going around the end. I'd

1278
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 14: like to see a little more consistency from him.

1279
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 12: Again.

1280
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 14: I love this team. I always have. I've been a

1281
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 14: fan since the rock Pile days, and that's long before

1282
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 14: you guys were around. I'm seventy six years old. I've

1283
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 14: been a Buffalo fans it's nineteen sixty five, since I

1284
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 14: was fifteen years old. But I'd like to see a

1285
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 14: little bit more out of these two guys, and i'd

1286
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 14: like to see Here are your comments, Sat, Yeah, thanks guys,

1287
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 14: I appreciate it.

1288
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: Sure s Fred and you are right. He did get

1289
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: disciplined twice. I forgot the one last year against Jacksonville.

1290
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: He got benched for the first part of that game

1291
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: his rookie year. So yeah, it is two infractions for

1292
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: him now in two seasons. Joe Brady this week kind

1293
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: of indicated it was like being late to a meeting

1294
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: last week which got him sat down for the first

1295
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 1: series against the Patriots, or at least he hinted in

1296
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 1: that direction. Yeah. I mean he's still finding his way here,

1297
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: and maybe last week was kind of a microcosm of

1298
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 1: what he's been giving the team. You know, he sits

1299
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 1: the first series for a disciplinary reason, then he has

1300
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: a fumble deep in his own end that results in

1301
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,759
Speaker 1: points for the Patriots, and then later in the game

1302
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: he scores a touchdown. It's all in the same game.

1303
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: I think they feel there's more potential to tap into there.

1304
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of harnessing it on a consistent basis.

1305
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the key. Yeah, and that's what you

1306
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: see with young players, like the week to week consistency

1307
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,879
Speaker 1: is what takes time to develop.

1308
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. The yeah, the disciplinary actions are Yeah, they are concerned.

1309
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 2: You want to see the guy you know step up

1310
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 2: and be the kind of player he can be. You're

1311
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 2: not going to do that until you're mature enough to

1312
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 2: not be disciplined for stuff that other than football, Right,

1313
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 2: So that's a fair assessment. I think his play on

1314
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 2: the field. It's hard to assess. Right. We haven't seen

1315
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 2: any receiver become like the lead guy in this thing.

1316
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 2: Even Khalil Shakir, who we thought might be that guy.

1317
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 2: There's you know, he has not been He's not had

1318
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 2: the kind of year I would have expected him to

1319
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 2: have after the year he had last year. Although he

1320
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 2: you know, the first play against or the first drive

1321
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,799
Speaker 2: against who wasn't the Saints where he went forty six yards.

1322
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 2: None of these guys really get enough targets on a

1323
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 2: regular basis to give us an idea of who they

1324
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 2: could or can be. Khalil we probably can because he's

1325
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 2: been here three years. Kinkaid has obviously shown flashes of

1326
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,839
Speaker 2: being really really good when he gets a lot of targets.

1327
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 2: They just don't run their offense like that. I know.

1328
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 2: It's I know, fans get caught up. We want our

1329
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 2: offense to look like the other great offenses, you know.

1330
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 2: We want our guy. We want our team to have

1331
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 2: a player like Steph Diggs who we know is going

1332
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 2: to get the ball, and we want to cheer for

1333
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 2: the same guy catching the ball every time instead of

1334
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 2: every different guy. Whatever the case may be. But this

1335
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 2: offense is running as well or better than any offense

1336
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 2: in the league. They're not going to mess with it.

1337
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 2: And Keon's a part of that. But part of the

1338
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 2: beauty of running their offense the way it is is

1339
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 2: if Keon pulls a ham change a tire man, you

1340
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 2: just throw another guy in there, and it's this offense

1341
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,640
Speaker 2: will keep humming. That's one thing that this offense can

1342
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: do that other offenses cannot do, is change out wide

1343
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 2: receivers and keep flying. So I think we haven't had

1344
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 2: to see him do that very much, right, right, But

1345
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the benefits that if it

1346
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 2: does come down to it, they may that may save

1347
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 2: your season. Whereas, for instance, if the Patriots lose Steph

1348
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 2: Diggs on a Friday practice last week, what's their game

1349
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 2: look like without him? Right?

1350
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,480
Speaker 1: A lot of Hunter Henry.

1351
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Bills don't have to worry about that kind of thing.

1352
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying I'm waiting for these guys to

1353
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 2: go down. So that's just the way it is. That's

1354
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 2: part of the benefit you get from running your offense

1355
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 2: like that. Not very many to do it.

1356
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,640
Speaker 1: If any gotta take a break here, we'll get to

01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 2: get your foot set in the logo of midfield and

1380
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 2: don't slip on the paint or you get that you

1381
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 2: so you can get that punt.

1382
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: Oh, so you would have two punts blocks?

1383
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 2: Well if I got yeah.

1384
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 1: In Super Bowls.

1385
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,560
Speaker 2: In Super Bowls, I would have had. I think I

1386
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 2: could have gotten to the first punt of that game

1387
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 2: off Sean Landetta if I would have not slipped.

1388
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: Was there a compromise in their protection that you guys?

1389
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 2: No, No, I just came off the edge and they

1390
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 2: didn't get it. They didn't get enough of me. And

1391
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 2: I slipped, just just a microfraction of a slip and

1392
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 2: it and it, you know, robbed me of that chance.

1393
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 2: And I could have laid out and tried to do it,

1394
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 2: but I thought I might rough Landatta. If I would

1395
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,799
Speaker 2: have been much closer, you know, half a step closer,

1396
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 2: he might have pulled it down. But it felt to

1397
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 2: me at that moment, and I still think about it.

1398
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 2: Knowing now what I know, then I should have probably

1399
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 2: laid out and tried to get it. Who cares we

1400
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 2: lost the game even if I didn't, So I would

1401
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 2: have told myself to lay out for that first pace.

1402
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: And how deep was were the giants on that plate? Here?

1403
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 2: It was a midfield, it was a center. It was

1404
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 2: right in the logo twenty five logo, and it was

1405
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 2: George Tooma, the legendary grounds came for all for the

1406
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 2: Chiefs all those years and also for all the Super Bowls.

1407
01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 2: He had said, you know he did. He came in.

1408
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 2: They put sawed down, he said, it was this. It

1409
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 2: was six or eight inches deep, the sawd that they

1410
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 2: put down for the for the field. So they didn't

1411
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 2: want it sliding up, you know, like that. So they

1412
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 2: got the thickest sod they could possibly get. And but

1413
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 2: the logo in the middle of the field, it's it

1414
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 2: was a natural grass into sombrero, the old sombrero in

1415
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay.

1416
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: And it's kicked on paint past that.

1417
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was paint, and it's it was slippery and

1418
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 2: I and I had just regular i think regular cleats

1419
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 2: on for that instead of three quarter inch spikes. And

1420
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 2: if I would have dug in a little bit more

1421
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 2: and not slipped, maybe I would have gotten and that's

1422
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 2: the only thing I would have told him.

1423
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: So you got a block punt there, yeah, and a

1424
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,480
Speaker 1: safety on a sack by Bruce instead of a touchdown

1425
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 1: like you guys didn't recover in the end zone.

1426
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 2: I'm sorry it didn't come out. He held onto it.

1427
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, he held onto the Bruce.

1428
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 2: Chopped his hand on his wrist and he and held

1429
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 2: held onto it. Bless his heart.

1430
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Yeah, so that's excuse me, mister Tasker. We're going

1431
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 1: to get back to the phones here at eight o

1432
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: three five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five

1433
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: fifty to JT and Amherst. What's up? JT?

1434
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 15: Hi, you guys doing good?

1435
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 2: Good?

1436
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 15: Hey, I just wanted to say, mister Tasker, I was

1437
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 15: at the Poncho's army when you got your jacket at

1438
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 15: that meat raffle. You're just just a gentleman for sure.

1439
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 2: Thanks. That was good. That's a good night.

1440
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, it was a really good night.

1441
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 10: Hey.

1442
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 15: I just wanted to talk to you a little bit

1443
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 15: about and pick your guys brains with your thoughts on

1444
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,440
Speaker 15: you know, if we stick to more of a dedicated

1445
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 15: run game with the three backs that we have, you

1446
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 15: know what, do you think maybe that would open up

1447
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 15: our wide receivers a little bit more.

1448
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 2: I think it's actually vital JT. I think that's the rate.

1449
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,600
Speaker 2: The way James Cook has run the football and the

1450
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 2: way the offense changed when Joe Brady took over two

1451
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 2: and a half seasons ago, when he got the job

1452
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 2: and took over, he started running the ball a lot

1453
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 2: and that has allowed Josh. It's allowed them to throw

1454
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 2: it when they want to, not because they have to

1455
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 2: or the league says you should or whatever. And I

1456
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 2: think that's made all the difference. If James Cook is

1457
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,720
Speaker 2: stymied in the run game like he was against the Patriots,

1458
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 2: that that's a problem. Although I think part of it

1459
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 2: was the Bill's playing from behind a little bit in

1460
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 2: that game and the other factors going into that game.

1461
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 2: The turnovers is what really skewed that. Their ability to

1462
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 2: stay on the field, So all of that and the penalties,

1463
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 2: all of that. That was kind of a quirky game

1464
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 2: against the New England Patriots. I that's a rock fight.

1465
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 2: That's exactly what the Patriots had to do to win

1466
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 2: that game, and it went just their way. They got

1467
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 2: some help from the eff or the Bills. The Bill's

1468
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 2: undisciplined play have taken penalties and their turnovers led to

1469
01:17:57,640 --> 01:17:59,720
Speaker 2: a Patriots win. That's how that game had to go

1470
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 2: for the Patriots to win it. I don't think it

1471
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 2: was as much of the Bill's game plan as it

1472
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 2: was just the way the game unfolded. I think you're right.

1473
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 2: The Bills run game is a bigger part of their

1474
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 2: success and their ability to throw it to just anybody

1475
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 2: as it is Josh.

1476
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: But Jat wants to incorporate the other two backs a

1477
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 1: little bit more than we've seen through the first five games.

1478
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 2: That's fine.

1479
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: I think if you have Ray Davis in the game,

1480
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: you better be coming downhill because he cannot bounce it

1481
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 1: outside with the same effectiveness and success as Ty Johnson

1482
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 1: or James Cook. He's not a shaky out of your

1483
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: shoes back. He's a one cut downhill guy.

1484
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 2: Ray would be a guy spot guy where if it's like, listen,

1485
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:44,439
Speaker 2: we're having more success in time, let's put Ray in

1486
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 2: and let's go at them hard. You know that'll be

1487
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 2: something they find out during the game.

1488
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: He's the guy who put on the field with Reggie Gilliam. Yeah,

1489
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: so we'll see maybe there is a little bit of

1490
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: an uptick in his play. I know Joe Brady this

1491
01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 1: week said he's trying to find more opportunities for so

1492
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: we'll see where that goes. We got a pivot to

1493
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: the post practice podium where quarterback Josh Allen is addressing

1494
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 1: the media. What's the message after a loss?

1495
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:16,600
Speaker 16: Message after loss is continuing to trust our process, not

1496
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 16: to be focused so much on the results. Obviously, we

1497
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 16: didn't play as well as we would have liked to

1498
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 16: play this last week, and that's gonna happen when you

1499
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 16: when you lose the football game.

1500
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 1: And you know.

1501
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 16: Fortunately we've got another week, get another chance to go

1502
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 16: play Monday night in a really fun environment there in

1503
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 16: Atlanta with a team that's obviously coming off of buye

1504
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 16: but playing really good football. So another opportunity for us

1505
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 16: to take a step in the right direction.

1506
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he on had an up and down day on

1507
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 2: Sunday bench football touchdown.

1508
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,759
Speaker 1: How do you how do you see te fis far since?

1509
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean a guy that again continues to work

1510
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 16: extremely hard, trust zero, you know, still continuing to develop

1511
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 16: that that rapport. But from late in that game to

1512
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:00,679
Speaker 16: score touchdown, made a couple of big plays for us,

1513
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:04,560
Speaker 16: the third down jump ball. We're gonna need more of

1514
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:07,680
Speaker 16: that from him, and you know, not gonna determ me

1515
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 16: from going his way.

1516
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 2: All leader and the captain of his team, you know,

1517
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 2: to hear that there was a discipline area action there

1518
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 2: for have not the first time in his career. You

1519
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 2: you say anything to a young player in a situation

1520
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 2: like that, you are not.

1521
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 16: I mean, I think I think he understands.

1522
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 2: I think he knows.

1523
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 16: You know, at the end of the day, this locker room,

1524
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 16: this team, you know, you don't ever want to let

1525
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 16: your teammates down. And I think he understands that, and

1526
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 16: he doesn't want to let us down, and uh, you know,

1527
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 16: we move forward.

1528
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 5: Do you take a loss like that?

1529
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,720
Speaker 17: I mean, you guys haven't had a deal with two

1530
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 17: losses for the last few years. Does it almost present an

1531
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 17: opportunity to maybe reset because you had it, you were

1532
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 17: holding for four to five weeks. You know, you kind

1533
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 17: of had a little bit easy here, not easy, but

1534
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 17: you know what I mean? Is it kind of a

1535
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:50,720
Speaker 17: reset opportunity?

1536
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 5: For sure?

1537
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 16: I mean I think it's a wake up call, reset,

1538
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 16: whatever you want to call it. You know, we had

1539
01:20:56,320 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 16: been getting by you know, previous games of maybe not

1540
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 16: playing our best football and when you play the team

1541
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 16: that again did everything the right way, and you know,

1542
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 16: credit to them for coming into our home stadium and

1543
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,679
Speaker 16: having a really good game plan. You know, it does

1544
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 16: wake you up in terms of like, hey, like every

1545
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 16: week we're gonna get the team's best whoever we're playing

1546
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 16: his best, and we got to play up to our standard.

1547
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 16: You know, at the end of the day, this is

1548
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 16: the NFL. Each and every week has got to be earned,

1549
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 16: and that starts in practice.

1550
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 2: Let's simple.

1551
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 1: Just what have you seen from the job steam Watson?

1552
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think their their safeties fly around, you know,

1553
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 16: Watson and Baits, and I think they do a good

1554
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 16: job of really holding their shell, not really tipping off

1555
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,719
Speaker 16: which way they're rolling down or if they're staying high.

1556
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 16: I think their their front's doing a good job of

1557
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 16: flying around and rushing the quarterback. They've been forcing a

1558
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 16: couple turnovers and you know, getting the ball out. So

1559
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 16: again we're gonna have our hands full of making sure

1560
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 16: we're iding things the right way, seeing things the right

1561
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 16: way in the run game and then ultimately in the

1562
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 16: past game, we gotta we got throat it and we

1563
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 16: gotta catch it and again limit limit the turnovers, and

1564
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:09,200
Speaker 16: you know, just go out there and try to play

1565
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 16: a game that we know we can go play.

1566
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 2: Just to start the season at Dolge's pretty crazy. Can

1567
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 2: you just get excited about leaving going to play a

1568
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 2: road game? Like it feels like that could just be

1569
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 2: like the perfect time.

1570
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,759
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean yeah, four the first five was was crazy.

1571
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 16: And honestly, I'm not a guy that looks forward in

1572
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 16: the schedule, and every every week it was like, oh,

1573
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 16: we're home, we're home. And I was like, I'm pretty

1574
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 16: sure we're away this week, and you know, everyone's like, no, no,

1575
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 16: we're home again. So yeah, it feels good. Obviously, we

1576
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 16: love playing at home and we love the energy that

1577
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 16: the fans give us. But there's there's also this other

1578
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 16: little tick in you that when you play away, your

1579
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 16: ultimate job is to make make sure that stadium stays

1580
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 16: as quiet as possible, and that's by doing your job

1581
01:22:55,920 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 16: going in there and scoring points. And you know, way

1582
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 16: environments can be very fun, but you know, very challenging

1583
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 16: at the same time. Anything about playing in a new

1584
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 16: building like you've been in this league for so.

1585
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 5: Long, this is one of the few that you haven't

1586
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 5: played in.

1587
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 2: That's kind of interesting.

1588
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,639
Speaker 16: Yeah, just making sure that I know where the play

1589
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 16: clocks are. Yeah, just uh, I guess checking them off

1590
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 16: the list. You know, it's it's it's pretty cool. I

1591
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 16: mean it's a real I mean, I'm still doing what

1592
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 16: I get to do and and love what I'm doing,

1593
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 16: and you know, it's a bucket list to Visital thirty

1594
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 16: two as a kid. So uh, I guess this is

1595
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 16: a way.

1596
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 2: To do that.

1597
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 16: San Francisco, and I think that this one might be it.

1598
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 16: Which Onelina I've played there in the preseason?

1599
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: Did we play there a couple of years ago preseason? Yeah?

1600
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 16: Correct? Yeah, so yeah, not too many left. So it's

1601
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:51,480
Speaker 16: pretty cool.

1602
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: Off a historic streak of not losing the turtle over

1603
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: battle on that head, your first three turtle over game

1604
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 1: in a while. How do you address that you, I mean,

1605
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: there're a lot of debateable where you can practice that

1606
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: You've been emphasis that. What is the key to being

1607
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 1: a consistently good team when it comes to ball security?

1608
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean it is something that we emphasize in practice,

1609
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 16: making sure that we're not just going through the motions

1610
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 16: in our ball security drills. It's making good decisions from

1611
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 16: the quarterback end and not putting the ball in harm's way.

1612
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 16: So it's definitely it's definitely fixable. Obviously we've shown that

1613
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 16: we know how to do it, and just maybe getting

1614
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 16: back to.

1615
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 1: That extra day this week because of the Monday night

1616
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 1: game when you come off with the loss, is that

1617
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: a little helpful.

1618
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 17: To kind of makes some extra corrections going into the

1619
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 17: next one.

1620
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 16: Yeah, definitely. I mean you getting an extra data to

1621
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 16: look at them. They're coming off a bye week, so

1622
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 16: they've had a full week to look at us, and

1623
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 16: again just making sure that we're we're trusting the game plan,

1624
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 16: whatever's being put in, giving our input and then having

1625
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 16: a good week of practice.

1626
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 2: Which one of your teammates it was.

1627
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 16: But I was asking a couple of guys about Jackson

1628
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 16: Hawes and somebody referred to him as a sick out

1629
01:24:57,720 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 16: put in a good way, I guess with what makes

1630
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 16: him a sick if if you feel the same way, Well,

1631
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 16: if you ever see him laugh, he last for two

1632
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 16: seconds and it's back to stone cold face. There's no

1633
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:08,960
Speaker 16: there's no like you know, sometimes you laugh, you keep

1634
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 16: a smile, a grin. It's so he's uh, we love

1635
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 16: we love him here. You know, he's been making some

1636
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 16: plays for us, and what a great teammate to have. Awesome.

1637
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: All right, that's Josh Allen addressing the media. We will

1638
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 1: step aside and take a break here. One more segment

1639
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: to go. We'll see if we can squeeze into a

1640
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 1: phone call or two when we return here on one

1641
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: of Bill's Live Stay with us. All right, back here

1642
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live. One injury node concerning the Falcons

1643
01:25:55,800 --> 01:26:00,120
Speaker 1: for Monday Night's game. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney not practice

1644
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:04,680
Speaker 1: today due to a hamstring injury suffered back in week four. Obviously,

1645
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 1: Falcons had to buy last week. Raheem Morris calls him

1646
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 1: day today, but not practicing today with the hamstring injury,

1647
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: despite getting a week off with the buye. We'll see

1648
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 1: what that turns into by the final designation day on injuries,

1649
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 1: which this week is Saturday. Go to Frank in Buffalo

1650
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: here next.

1651
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 2: What's up?

1652
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: Frank?

1653
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 11: Yeah? Hi, I got a question for Steve. Steve Super

1654
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 11: Bowl twenty five, just before that Gamble's the game before

1655
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 11: don VB got hurt. I had a broken broken leg,

1656
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 11: I believe, and Al Edwards was a good player I

1657
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 11: was put in took his place. I was wondering, was

1658
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 11: there ever any thinking about asking you to have a

1659
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 11: bigger role as a receiver, since, like Jim Kelly has

1660
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 11: to say, in practice you caught everything and did that

1661
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 11: ever come off? And if it did high physically it

1662
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 11: would have been for you to do your special teams

1663
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 11: duties and also play wide receiver.

1664
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 2: Just just just a thought, it would have been really

1665
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 2: difficult to do both for me. I'm sure they had

1666
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 2: conversations about whether how and I'm sure Jim probably advocated

1667
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 2: for the guy he wanted, whether it's me or Al.

1668
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 2: I'm sure they had conversations about how they were gonna

1669
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 2: fill the void with Don being gone. Don had a

1670
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 2: unique skill set. Don was extremely fast. He could he

1671
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 2: could take the lid off the defense good route. You know,

1672
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 2: he was the he was the guy. He was the

1673
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 2: guy behind Andre and James Lofton. So when you lose

1674
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:41,640
Speaker 2: a guy like that, it's it was a little bit

1675
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:45,639
Speaker 2: of a void there. I'm sure they had conversations about

1676
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 2: how they were gonna fill that void. And maybe I

1677
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,640
Speaker 2: was a part of that, maybe I wasn't, But that

1678
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:53,640
Speaker 2: would never get to me unless it was gonna be me,

1679
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 2: and it never got to me. So I knew too.

1680
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 2: I was aware that if something had happened to James

1681
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 2: Lofton or Andre or Al, I would be in there.

1682
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 2: I was probably next guy up, so I had to

1683
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 2: be ready for that. But yeah, it would have been

1684
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 2: very difficult to do both for sure, and I knew

1685
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 2: that when I started playing wide receiver. I told my

1686
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 2: good friend and a great coach, Bruce de Haven, Listen,

1687
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 2: I need a break from playing teams because I can't

1688
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 2: play as well doing both.

1689
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think people realize like you're covering a

1690
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: lot of ground on those plays, Like it's high intensity

1691
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 1: and a lot it's not that basically a bunch of

1692
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: forty yard gassers.

1693
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 2: I made the analogy. It's it's like being in a

1694
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 2: fight in a dead run, right, So that's what you're

1695
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,280
Speaker 2: trying to do, and that's basically what you're in as

1696
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 2: a special teams guy. And it's it takes a lot

1697
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 2: of emotional content that you can't give to, you know,

1698
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 2: playing wide receiver and then be as good when you

1699
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 2: go out there to cover a kick.

1700
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

1701
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:06,599
Speaker 2: It's the compete level is off. The charts out there

1702
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 2: because you only get one one play and let's go

1703
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:11,719
Speaker 2: and it's like a thousand, let's go one hundred percent

1704
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 2: and then you know, it's like a you get to

1705
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 2: sit in your corner.

1706
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: But it's a player. But even though it's one play,

1707
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:20,600
Speaker 1: it lasts longer than any other play and most I

1708
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:21,440
Speaker 1: mean especially.

1709
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:22,639
Speaker 2: On a kick, I gotta cover some distance.

1710
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 1: And it's a play that lasts probably three four seconds

1711
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 1: longer than any other play in football.

1712
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 2: Yes, it's and it's an it's a change over play.

1713
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:32,680
Speaker 2: There's a lot of free wheeling and a lot of

1714
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 2: creativity in it. It's yeah, it takes a lot of it.

1715
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 2: It took a lot from me. Maybe other guys can

1716
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 2: do it, but I told them I don't think I could.

1717
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: That's it for us today on a Thursday. More practice

1718
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 1: updates tomorrow, and our good friend Greg Cosel from NFL

1719
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 1: Films to chop up the x's and o's for Bill's Falcons.

1720
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrow
