The Bills making their way outdoors to practice today. 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Not in the stadium, they'll be on on the grass 8 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: practice field. But I think it's good they're outdoors on 9 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: a nice day in Orchard Park. Steve, welcome, good to 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: have you here. What is it? What do you think 11 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: thirty seven, thirty eight degrees outdoors? You're an op today? 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: Maybe let me check good? It really a nice day. 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 1: It's a nice day to be out clear, cool, crispy, 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: like I look when they practice outdoors. When we went 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: through this, it's forty seven makes you makes you feel 16 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: like all is right with the world. When the Bills 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: are practicing outside, Is it really forty seven degrees out 18 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: they're nice out that warm. It's a beaut No wonder 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: they're outdoors. They should be outdoors. It's great, um and 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: but you'd think it doesn't matter that much, right, It's 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: all about good practice, quality reps, quality reps. Okay, it 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: is for the team that lives in it. If you 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: live in a cold weather, you're gonna be all right. 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: He'll be all right on game day. But the cool 25 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: weather team said, that's the one that's I mean, when 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: the warm weather teams come up to the cool weather, 27 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: that's when it bothers them, when it's a stark contrast 28 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: what they're used to. I got you. You know, if 29 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: you live in it, going outside, you go outside, you know, 30 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: you go to the car, you go whatever, you walk 31 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: the dogs, whatever. You get used to being in that. 32 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: So it's not a shocking thing when you get off 33 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: the plane and in the away city getting ready to play, 34 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it won't be a 35 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: shock for the Bills when they go to Foxboro, where 36 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: they played a lot over the years, obviously, and getting 37 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: ready to play in Foxborough against the Patriots. No advantage, 38 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: no advantage either way. No, it's an interesting satium. You 39 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: never played in the new Gillette Stadium. They've been there 40 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: a bunch, but you know, I've never. It's an interesting place. 41 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: I find it, to be honest. As much as I 42 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: don't like the Patriots, as far as working atmosphere, it's 43 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: probably the best in other than the new airfield for us, 44 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: the best A great view of the game, great site lines. 45 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: We're kind of right among the fans. The fans are 46 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: literally this far away, and I kind of like that. 47 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: You know, you get an interaction. I love working. It's 48 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: not a press box, it's it's more of a broadcast. Yeah, 49 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: there's a whole level of a broadcast. Yeah. And it's 50 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: just one little building that's set kind of at the 51 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: top of the lower level and it's kind of standalone. 52 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: You gotta walk walk through the concourses to get there, right, 53 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 1: I don't mind that. Yeah, I don't mind it either. 54 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: And it is a good site line, really nice. And 55 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: then you know the rest of the stadium around the 56 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: top and around the sides have all the private suites 57 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: and that's what really the old stadiums are refurbished, that's 58 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: what kills you. They snatch up all the really good 59 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: site lines for private boxes. Expensive realist. You end up 60 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: doing the game from you know that, you know, five 61 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: hundred yards away in a corner and a phone booth 62 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: like Miami, Right, you're referring to Yeah, no, this is 63 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: good and I like working there. I like the vibe 64 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: in Foxborough too, And look, they're Patriots fans, so put 65 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: that aside. But they're avid fans. You don't want. I 66 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: always notice about Foxborough, Steven, it's weird. I don't think 67 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: it's like this anywhere else. The gender composition of the 68 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: fans in Foxborough. I bet it's like eighty five percent male. 69 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: I've just noticed over the years, for some reason, like 70 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: more so than other places, more so than other places, 71 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: guys don't bring dates, wives, female daughters. They don't. They 72 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: don't appear to bring them to these games in Foxborough 73 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: I've noticed over the years. Isn't it weird? It's just 74 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: my I have no scientific facts to bolster this argument, 75 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: but I've noticed over the years. That's your observation. It's 76 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: a stag party. Did I tell you about what I 77 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: noticed the last time I was there? No. I was 78 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: there Week four Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots Division game, 79 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: just like you're gonna see this weekend rivalry. And you 80 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: can know how the Dolphins they, you know, they hate 81 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots as much as Bills fans, you know, because 82 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: they haven't had any success there either. And I saw 83 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: this game, right, and it was like you'd think it, 84 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: like getting deep into the second half, midway through the 85 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: third quarters. Pretty tight game, right. And you know what 86 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: I noticed about pat fans, I might, I might, I 87 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: had to tell you this, but there is And I 88 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: told my friends this when I got back. It reminds 89 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: me of the Bills fan base back in the early 90 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: nineties late eighties. There was absolutely no emotional distress at 91 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: any point in that game. They are absolutely drunk with success. 92 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: They're certain they're gonna get out. They are absolutely positive. 93 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: The call's gonna go their way, the play's gonna go 94 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: their way, the game's gonna come out fine. There is 95 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: no angst at all in that stadium. Ever, not for 96 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: a minute. Tom Brady got intercepted in that game. Really 97 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: nice interception. They kind of they fooled him. They got 98 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: peeled off and got to pick. And you know, it's 99 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: a tight games. They are laughing and holler. They have 100 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: no boo mechanism. Oh no, there is. It's completely washed 101 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: away for the entire generation of Patriot fans. If you're 102 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: Patriot fan, it would be pretty arrogant to boot that team, right, 103 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: It would take I mean, they've lost two in a row, 104 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: and they won't get booed when they step out on 105 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: the field, and nor should they as a matter of fact, 106 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: that it is a toe and I go to Murphy 107 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, I go to every stadium in the league 108 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: all the time. I'm I'm in all of them. In fact, 109 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: I was telling you this, I go I go to 110 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: Indianapolis this weekend. It's the first time in my twenty 111 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: one year career that I'm going to cover the New 112 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 1: York Giants in a game, because I've done every other team, 113 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: but I've go to all the stadiums, all of them, 114 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: and there's always that element of point in the game 115 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: when oh hey, oh no, hey, what's going on? Our 116 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: team's not you know, you're you're you're some bad things 117 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: happen because it's a football game in Foxborough. Man, they 118 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: don't do that. Yeah, they're like, ain't gonna, ain't gonna 119 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: you ain't gonna beat us. Way to list, you know, 120 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: as I was shocked. I was really shocked because it 121 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: was a tight, close game in the division first month 122 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: of the season, and they were like, we're gonna win 123 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: and you're telling me it was like that here right 124 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: in the nineties, at least it wasn't on the sidelines. Yeah, 125 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: I think it was like as I don't there. It 126 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: was no angst, there was no like, oh, guysh I 127 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: hope you know, ringing the hands, old guys, I don't 128 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: know if we can beat this team. There's none of that. 129 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: It was I was like, you know, what are you 130 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: gonna do? What are you gonna do? They earned it, 131 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: they certainly had earlier decades. The Patriots with an incredible 132 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: record against the Bills over the years New England twenty 133 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: nine and four against the Buffalo Bills since two thousand 134 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: and two, when the latest NFL divisions were realigned, the 135 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: most one sided divisional map up matchup in all the 136 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: NFL during that span twenty nine and four New England 137 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: against the Bills. Steelers owned the Browns in a similar 138 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: way twenty nine, four and one. Patriots have a pretty 139 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: similar record against the Jets twenty six and seven. The 140 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: Colts have a great record against the Texans over the 141 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: last sixteen years, twenty six wins, eight losses New England's 142 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: and four straight over the Bills, average of nineteen points 143 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: per game. Okay, that seems like a lot, but what 144 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: is it? That makes us think that this game is 145 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: not for the Bills, that this game is not a 146 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: potential blowout. Maybe we're wrong about that. We talked about 147 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: it earlier in the week. I just don't get the 148 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: sense that the Bills are in trouble here. Are they 149 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: gonna win? I wouldn't say that either. We'll see, but 150 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't get the sense that the Bills go into 151 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: this like, you know, the Christians being fed to the Lions, 152 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: which is the no It's kind of the tack you 153 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: get sometimes when when the Bills go to fox Were 154 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: to play. I don't feel that way this week. It'll 155 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: be a competitive game, no question about. The Bills are 156 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: much better than they were two months ago. I think 157 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: there's we were kind of jumping on the bandwagon that 158 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: this might be the time when the Bills can jump 159 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: up and get them. But then you get to those 160 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: statistics about rookie quarterbacks in Foxborough. A rookie quarterback has 161 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: not led his team to a victory in Foxborough as 162 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: a visiting team since nineteen ninety five. Carrie Collins did it. 163 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: It just doesn't happen very often. You get caught up 164 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: in all those numbers and it's not gonna last forever. 165 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: And we also think you always look for chinks in 166 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: the armor of New England. They're in a two game 167 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: losing streak. Remember one of those two games was the 168 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: miracle lateral on the last second of the game in 169 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: a game they led by five, you know, with no 170 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: time left, and it was some unbelievably crazy play that 171 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: got them beat Yep on the road in the division. 172 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they just don't lose games like that. And 173 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: so now that you know that comes in and it 174 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: sounds like this big, bad, two game losing streak. Listen, 175 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: they got beat last week by a really good Pittsburgh 176 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: Steeler team in Pittsburgh by one touchdown, one possession. They're 177 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: a really good football team in New England. No matter 178 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: what they what people will have you believe about, whether 179 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: they're as good as they have been or as good 180 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: as they're gonna be, they're good. They're good. And it's 181 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: a tough assignment for the Bills. The five and nine 182 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: pills in the nine to five Patriots. And this happened 183 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: today too, and this, I guess would be a benefit 184 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: for the Bills. Josh Gordon talented yet still kind of 185 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: developing receiver for the New England Patriots, stepping away from 186 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: football to focus on his mental health. That announcement came 187 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: out today. The quote from the statement from Josh Gordon, 188 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: I take my mental health very seriously at this point 189 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: to ensure that I remain able to perform at the 190 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: highest level. I have recently felt as if I could 191 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: have a better grasp, a better grasp on things mentally. 192 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: With that said, I will be stepping away from football 193 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: for a bit to focus on my mental health. He said. 194 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: I'd like to thank Coach Belichick, mister Kraft, as well 195 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: as countless others in the Patriots organization for their continued support. 196 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: I want to thank my fans for their support as 197 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: well as I continue down the path getting back to 198 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: one percent now. He missed two full seasons being suspended 199 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: for a substance abuse. He played in just ten games 200 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: between twenty fourteen in this year, and now he has gone. 201 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: The Patriots said, we support Josh Gordon and his efforts 202 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: to focus on his health. His attempt to do so 203 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: as a private and personal matter which we intend to respect. 204 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon steps away facing indefinite suspension by the NFL 205 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: fell according to NFL Network, that's kind of, you know, whatever, 206 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: his numbers, they're good, they're not great. They have other targets, 207 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: they have other options in the passing game, but Josh 208 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: Gordon certainly was among the more dynamic options in the 209 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: passing game. Gordon with the Patriots forty catches for seven 210 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: under twenty yards and three touchdowns. I mean, their number 211 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,599 Speaker 1: one receiver is the running back James White alum in 212 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: the number two receiver, Gronkowski has the third most pass receptions, 213 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: and then Gordon. He's ahead of Chris Hogan, He's ahead 214 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: of a Philip Dorsett, ahead of Cordarrel Patterson. But he's 215 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: an important piece of their their whole wide receiver mix. 216 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: I was thinking back to October when the Bills played 217 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots and Gordon played against the Bills. Back then, 218 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: we were all kind of enamored with the array of 219 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: weapons they had lined up. Those weapons have sort of 220 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: fallen away a little bit. Gordon now steps aside potential 221 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: suspension for violating terms of his conditional reinstatement. Gronkowski has 222 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: struggled a little bit, especially last week, with just a 223 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: couple of catches. They don't seem to have the kind 224 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: of weapons that maybe threw a scare into Bills and 225 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: the Bills fans back in October two months ago. Steve 226 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: no We had one of our guests this earlier this week, thought, 227 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots, while they still play very good, 228 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: disciplined football, they don't make mistakes. They do appear on 229 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: film slow. Gronkowski, you know, he always, even when he 230 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,599 Speaker 1: was fast, he looks slow. But Edelman is not a 231 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: speed receiver. He's a possession receiver. And he takes Josh 232 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Gordon out of that mix. And he was an elite talent, 233 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: no question about it. The guy was big, strong, good hands, 234 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: could run routes, great ball skills. He was really really talented, 235 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: and they're gonna miss him. Forty catches in the games 236 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: that they had him for says something about his abilities 237 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: and the and their need for having to have somebody 238 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: else for Brady to throw too. So I don't know 239 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: that Bills fans will be able to tell a difference 240 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: without Josh Gordon, but I know the Bills deef is 241 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: gonna view that offense differently. It's an interesting development for 242 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Josh Gordon is out, likely out for the 243 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: rest of the years he steps away and maybe facing 244 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: potential suspension. All right, let's talk about that game a 245 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: little bit. Talk about your view of this game. It's 246 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: pretty clear from doing this show what the first three 247 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: days this week Steve that Bills fans have sort of, 248 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: I think, altered their view of what this matchup with 249 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots is. It's a little bit different than typically 250 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: when the Bills go up against the Patriots. A little 251 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: less doom and bloom, a little less people thinking yeah. 252 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: I think people think, hey, let's go play, let's go 253 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: see what we got. A lot of that I think 254 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: is due to the quarterback. But we want to talk 255 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: about that on our Twitter poll today and kind of 256 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: get a sense of where you're at with this game Bills, 257 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: New England. You heard the record, twenty nine and four. 258 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: Since two thousand and two, the Bills have won four 259 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: games against this team. What would it mean? This is 260 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: our Twitter question. What would it mean for the Bills 261 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots in New England on Sunday? What 262 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: do you think? Let's talk about it. Eight oh three 263 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight by fifty two 264 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: five fifty. We're not saying they're going to we're not 265 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: saying it's likely. It is unlikely. Right, you have to 266 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: say it's unlikely to Bills. I haven't seen points brand. 267 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure the Bills are having underdogs. But if they 268 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: should win at New England, what would that mean? What 269 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: would that signify? Let's talk about it. Give us a 270 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: call eight oh three oh five fifty and toll free 271 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or 272 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: weigh in on Twitter. We'll start on the tweet sheet 273 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: with Tiffany Daniels. It would be a wonderful early Christmas gift. 274 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: They've had our number for years. Being able to go 275 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: into their stadium and get a win when they desperately 276 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: need one would give me a ton. Would mean a 277 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: ton to our team's confidence moving forward, especially if Joshkin 278 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: put together a complete game. Go Bills. I think that 279 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: adds to it too. And Tiffany is right, it's where 280 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots are at. I mean, let's face it and 281 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: the eyes of the NFL Sunday's game, Steve, it's about 282 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Can they lose three in a row? Right? 283 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: That's what the NFL, That's what the NFL fans are 284 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: looking at this week. So the Patriots love two in 285 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: a row, can they lose three in a row? And 286 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: if they the Buffalo it'll mean something to Bills fans, 287 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: But for the rest of the league it might mean 288 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: something else, like something seriously wrong with the New England Patriots. 289 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: Think about the ripple effect across the National Football League. 290 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: If Josh Allen Trapes is in as a rookie quarterback 291 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: with the Bills, who had all these question marks about 292 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 1: him being accurate and all that, and he takes the 293 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: Bills team in with undrafted rookie free agents and all 294 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: these guys that were afterthoughts at the beginning of the season, 295 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: he goes in and wins there. Not only will Bills 296 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: Bills fans will obviously cheer that, but the death knell 297 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: for the dominance that the Patriots have had is gonna 298 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: ring really loud. Other teams across the AFC and across 299 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: the league are and I think, you know what Patriots aren't. 300 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: Maybe they aren't the team to beat, you know, you 301 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: always put them in that conversation, but they've you know, 302 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: they got four losses already this year. They're looking at 303 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: having a wildcard round of the playoffs, which is on 304 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: which they don't get to the play they don't get 305 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl through that way. They've never done it. 306 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: They've missed twice and opportunities they've had. And Tom Brady's 307 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: gonna be with forty two next year, right, Yeah? I mean, 308 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: And I told and I said this to you on 309 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: the show earlier in the year after that Week four 310 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: matchup that I spoke about with the Jet. Tom Brady's 311 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: not the same guy. He is not the same quarterback 312 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: I have seen him play. He misses way more throws 313 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: than he used to. He makes way more inaccurate throws. 314 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: His arm isn't as strong as it once was. And 315 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: I think they're bending their offensive philosophy a little bit 316 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: to counter that. There's no question that things are changing 317 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: in New England. And if Josh Allen and this Buffalo 318 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: Bill team out of the playoffs, with all these rookie 319 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: free agents, all these young guys on the roster going 320 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: there and when that, it's not just gonna be Buffalo 321 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: Bills fans who cheer. There's gonna be a lot of 322 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: people and a lot of teams around the NFL. They're 323 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: gonna sit up and look twice at not only the 324 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, but also the Patriots and where they stand 325 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: going forward. Yeah, I mean, I think that'll be I 326 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: think it'll be a maybe the most significant win for 327 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: an underdog team all year, if the Bills can go 328 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: in there and do that at this point, when when 329 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: all it's been said about you know, they're looking at 330 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: younger players, you know they're out of the playoff race, 331 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: all of that, all the things that have been said 332 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: about it. Uh, and then to go in there and 333 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: do that, it would be enormous I think, not just 334 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: for Bills fans, And I think the point is I'm 335 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: trying to make is that it's going to be a 336 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: league wide issue, in a league wide story. If the 337 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: Bills go in there and do that. Are we getting 338 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves here? Well, we're saying, what if, way 339 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: out ahead of our Steve's hard to be, can't It's Look, 340 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: we're talking about something unlikely happening here, the Bills winning there. 341 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: It's unlikely, not impossible, certainly, but unlikely given the history, 342 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: given where these teams are this year, not just the history, 343 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: given I forget the two game losing streak for the 344 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: Patriots and this it's hard to win up there. It's 345 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: hard for every team to win up there, um let 346 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: alone a team that has had the record, Uh, the 347 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: Bills do, and they have a developed up in quarterback. 348 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: They may like a lot. He may be doing some 349 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: good things, but he hasn't seen this team before. He 350 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: watched him on film, stood on the sidelines as Derek 351 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: Anderson took the snaps. But you know that's new to him. Yeah, 352 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: and that's you know, that's a hard that's a hard 353 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: mountain to climb to go in there into Foxborough and 354 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: beat that defense coached by those guys. What do you think? 355 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: Give us a call?

What would it mean to the Bills if 361 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: they beat the Patriots? On the show today, Chris Brown's 362 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: going to join us from a practice just a couple 363 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: of minutes away. We got one of the color men 364 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: on the CBS NFL on CBS broadcast Bills New England. 365 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, former Arizona Cardinals head coach. He joins us 366 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: on the line at one o'clock today. He should have 367 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: some interesting insights into Josh Allen. He's kind of a 368 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: quarterback guy. He has been through his entire career and 369 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: after practice a quarterback himself. Derek Anderson joints us on 370 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: the show Let's Show What You Think eight three fifty 371 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: two three one eight eight fifty two five fifty. What 372 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: would it mean if the Bills knock off New England? 373 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander talked about it in the locker room yesterday. 374 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: He was asked about the Bills and what it would 375 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: signify if the Bills get a win in Foxboro on Sunday. 376 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: He's huge obviously their next opponent. Obviously, they've been the 377 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: standard of our division for the last, you know, fifteen years, 378 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: and they're in a division chase. So for us to 379 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: go up there and be able to beat them would 380 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: be huge obviously for this city, for our team an organization, 381 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: because there are a team that's really had our number, 382 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, since I've been here, probably over the last 383 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years. So they'll show a lot of 384 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: growth for a young football team to be able to 385 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: go into the place and find a way to win. 386 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: And right now, we just focus on ourselves. Had a 387 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: good Wednesday practice and just want to make sure that 388 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: we tune everything up because I think people think that 389 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: they're struggling, that we're just gonna walk in in and 390 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: have a shot. I mean, I mean, there's still half 391 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, there's still an elite football team. They still 392 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: have a great head coach, and I know this week 393 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: they're going to make sure that they find tune all 394 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: those little mistakes that they're not known for may and 395 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go out there and play four quarters, 396 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: which we haven't been able to put together since I've 397 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: been here. So I don't think they're vulnerable. You can 398 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: say that all you won't. I you know, I've played 399 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: them enough times to know that they're gonna come out 400 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: well prepared to be ready because they're they're at this point, 401 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: they're in a in a division hunt, and they want 402 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: to set themselves up for the playoffs, you know, going 403 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: and playing strong and just knowing Belichick and time and 404 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: and the and the standing of expectations they have for 405 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: their team. I know they're not happy at all. By 406 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: the way, they've played, so I know they're gonna come 407 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: out and try to make a statement like, don't forget 408 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: about it now, you know, as they try to get 409 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: into these playoffs. So not no let down at all 410 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: from us as usual. Lorenzo is right on. They're gonna 411 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: be ready, steeve. They've lost two in a row. They 412 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: haven't lost three in the rows in sixteen years. They're 413 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: really motivated, really motivated, um, because they've got they've got 414 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: a lot to play for, a lot of reasons to 415 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: h to keep going to do something that never been 416 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: done in the league before. Ten straight division titles U 417 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: and the fact that they've stumbled in the last couple 418 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: of weeks doesn't mean anything to them. It just motivates 419 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: them to play better. On Sunday against the Bills, Bills 420 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: fell back to Patrick DeMarco had some thomp on the 421 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: thoughts on this all. So what would it mean if 422 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: the Bills beat the Patriots on Sunday. Here's what Pat 423 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: DeMarco says about that particular question yesterday in the locker room. 424 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: This is a big game for us, This is you know, 425 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: momentum going in the next year and just confidence. Is 426 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: a team growing we're young, so we got guys playing, Um, 427 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: they weren't playing at the beginning of the year and 428 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: they're filling their roles in and there they're playing their 429 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: tails off. So it's it's a big game for us. 430 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: So if we can go up there and take care 431 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: of business, it's not the same as the drought last year. 432 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: But this team has never beaten Brady and Foxborough to 433 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: end that would that be a significant step? Yeah, you know, 434 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: it's you know, we're the way you kind of when 435 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: you develop a division and stuff like that, you want 436 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: the division to run through a certain team, and it's 437 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: up in Foxborough right now, but we're hoping to change 438 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: that to Buffalo, to make this division run through Buffalo. 439 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: So do you think that winning this week, even though 440 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: it's not a playoff, you know, run for you guys, 441 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: can make a difference there? Yeah, you know they You know, 442 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: Newing has been so dominant for such a long time, 443 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: so let should be a step in the right direction 444 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: for our organization to go up there and win and 445 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: send a statement out that you know, we're here to play. 446 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: Pretty interesting perspective from a five and nine team. You 447 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: know that we can very often you don't hear teams 448 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: talk about momentum from one year to the next. Some 449 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: people don't believe that's that's true at all. That could be, 450 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: but just to have that kind of mindset, like we 451 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: could begin to change a conversation I think is if 452 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: I could paraphrase what pat to Marco said, right, we 453 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: could begin to change people's minds about where this division 454 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: goes and who it goes through. I think that could 455 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: happen on Sunday if the Bills come out with a win. 456 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: Two players and coaches, every game is important, and to 457 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: say this one would have echoes down further down the road. 458 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: You can certainly see why it would happen. When you 459 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: play a really good team and you beat them, it 460 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: shows you what's in your tank that you've got to 461 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: go to. If you can, if you can find it 462 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: that kind of game, if you can find that kind 463 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: of performance, if you can find that kind of game 464 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,239 Speaker 1: in your within your team, in your locker room, you 465 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: know that you can go do it at some point. 466 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: Every time you've got to go do it again, you'll 467 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: be able to repeat that performance. They'll give you a 468 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: confidence that you can beat whatever team you line up against, 469 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: and it says it a lot to the young guys 470 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: on that roster when they line up next year, when 471 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: they come back to training camp, they won't care what 472 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: the media says about how bad or good they are. 473 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: They won't care about any of that stuff. They'll know 474 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: that by the game like this one, going to Foxborough winning, 475 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: they do have what it takes to win against anybody 476 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: in any any building in the league. And it sticks 477 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: with you, it does. It sticks with you as a 478 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: player and as a coach. What does it mean if 479 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: the Bills get a win on a wing? Then some 480 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: of the tweets from Jesse Hamilton on the tweet sheet, 481 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: if the Bills get this win at New England, what 482 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,239 Speaker 1: would it mean? He says? It would be the end 483 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 1: of an era for the Patriots. This is December, he 484 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: goes on, It's Patriot month. They play their best football 485 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: at this point. If they lose this one, not only 486 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: will they have lost three straight, but two of those 487 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: will have been in December, and the Brady Belichick era 488 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: will be over. Actually three of them, all three of 489 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: them would be in December. Right, Yeah, that is important. 490 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: I heard a couple of other radio shows this week, 491 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: some reporters who don't always have the right ideas. But 492 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: some Boston Patriots reporters, some patriot Boston Massachusetts reporters who 493 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: cover the Patriots, I should say, talk about that like 494 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: this is when the Patriots usually turn it out, not 495 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: turn it down. And now they've lost two in a row, 496 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: and if the Bills beat him, it will be three 497 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: in a row. December has always been their month and 498 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: the guy on Twitter here is right about that, Jesse Hamilton. 499 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: It's Patriot month and that would be it would be 500 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: a shock if they were to lose three straight this month. 501 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: I think. Yeah. There's another one from the tweet sheet 502 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: E three twenty cab Changing of the Guard is this 503 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: is the Bills super Bowl. To beat New England in 504 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: Foxboro and give them three game losing Street plus us 505 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: having a quarterback and basically Brady basically being done would 506 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: be huge for next year and years to follow on it. 507 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: It would be There's no question you can attach a 508 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: level of symbolism to it where a young quarterback like 509 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen walks in there and wins one from the 510 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: guy who's been doing it for a decade and a half, 511 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: who's uh, you know, close to the end of his 512 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: retirement or what if he decides to Yeah, it would 513 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: be you could attach all that symbolism to it, but 514 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: it's still not easy to do. And I'm sure that 515 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: there are going to be a lot of people that 516 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: if this scenario we're talking about, if the Bills go 517 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: in there and win happens, they're going to carry this 518 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: with him through the off season. This is going to 519 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: carry a lot of Bills fans a long way. I think, 520 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: with all the question marks about which quarterback the Bills drafted, 521 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: with all the question marks about the young guys and 522 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: the receivers and the offensive line, and all the problems 523 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: in the ups and downs this season has has garnered, 524 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: this will be the talking point for the entire offseason 525 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: if they could do this. Say, I'm a little uncomfortable 526 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: with this topic today, Steve, are you you just got 527 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: that way though? No idea, No, it was not in 528 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: my idea. This was producer Jay Harrison. He right. I 529 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: think we're a little down the road a little bit. 530 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: The Bills haven't won there, you know, and a mean 531 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: game in an awfully long time. They always have problem 532 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: in New England. They lost by nineteen points, in New 533 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: England just two months ago. I think we're down the 534 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: road a little bit, and not that we have a 535 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: jinx factor. I know there are people out there who 536 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: believe we caught somehow cause the Sabers five game losing 537 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: streak not a jinx. I just don't want to look. 538 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: It's expectations, it's getting people's hopes up, and it's mostly realism. 539 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: I mean, are we really talking about the Bills going 540 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: down there and winning as a possibility? I don't know, 541 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often. It's don't forget it's typical for 542 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: us to do that. What to be wrong? No, to 543 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: talk ourselves into the team winning. I'm trying to avoid that. 544 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk myself. Can we do it 545 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: every week? While we don't? What do you sure do? 546 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: We always get to feel better about the game on 547 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: Friday Friday as the week, as the week progresses. And 548 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: here's the thing, we rarely well, we never we never 549 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: see the Patriots in this situation. That's the difference here, right. 550 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I like what the Bills are headed. Look, 551 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: I think we all, uh most of us would agreed, 552 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: the Bills are headed in the right direction. They seemed 553 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: to have their quarterback, like where it's going. What's changed 554 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: the setup to this game is the two straight losses 555 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: by New England, and as you point out, one of 556 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: them was a total fluke, right, a miracle finish called 557 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: the Miracle of Miami, and a loss on the road 558 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: to a pretty good Pittsburgh team. I just don't want 559 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: to be too far down the road here. Yeah, and 560 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: it's here. There's nothing that could happen. It's human nature. 561 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: The good vibe we've got about the Bills going forward, 562 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen developing, he's getting and you know, we've 563 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: talked about it all day every day here. There are 564 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: tangible things you point to every game where he made 565 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: a mistake here in this game, but in the next 566 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: few games he didn't make that mistake. In fact, he 567 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: corrected the mistake. All this stuff about the growth and 568 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: all these young players were seeing with Robert Fosters and 569 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: before his injury, Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmonds, Harrison Phillips, 570 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: all these young players that have that have come through 571 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: from the draft, Wyattell or even when he's stayed in 572 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: the lineup after being plugged in Week ten or whatever 573 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: was so there's all these good vibes. They're coming off 574 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: a win to an established quarterback like Matt Stafford, so 575 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: you got all this vibe stuff about going forward, and 576 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: so you're feeling good about your team, and then the 577 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: Patriots are just the opposite. They've kind of the shines off, right. 578 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: They've lost two straight. They've got a forty one year 579 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: old quarterback and their head coach. Their team looks slow. 580 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: Their team, you know, Gronkowski's not the same player because 581 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: he's just battered. You know, he's always the focal point. 582 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: He's getting beat up every week and he looks tired 583 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: of it. Edelman's the only other guy you can name, 584 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: Chris Hogan. You know, they've got some guys over there 585 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: were familiar with, but even you know, Sony Michelle's missed 586 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: a couple of games here and there with some injury. 587 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: So the shine is off the Patriots season a little bit. 588 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: They're they're not going for home field advantage during the playoffs. 589 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: They're out of that. They're probably gonna win the division, 590 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to play in the wildcard game. 591 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: So there's all these positive vibes for the Bills and 592 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: all this kind of unusually pessimistic talk around the Patriots, 593 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: and we're transposing it onto this game. Yeah, let's not 594 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: forget who these two teams are. Thank you. That's what 595 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, the Patriots are the division champs. Yeah, 596 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. I don't want to get too 597 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: far down the road. I like the optimism. I like 598 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: the excitement for what's to come as far as the 599 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are concerned. But let's not hang it all 600 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: on Sunday. You know what I'm saying. Okay, there put 601 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: enough water on the fire. You're a Debbie Downer. No, 602 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: not really. We want to hear you. What would it 603 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: mean though, if the Bills should beat the Patriots on Sunday? 604 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: Give us a call eight O three fifty toll free 605 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or 606 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: on Twitter.

Our topic 621 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: of the day, the Bills if they beat the Patriots. 622 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: What will it mean? What will it signify? You may 623 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: have a thought on that eighth three five fifty toll 624 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: free one eight eight eighty fifty two five fifty or 625 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet we've talked taken a few tweets 626 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: on this from um court com. He goes, seriously, it 627 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: would mean a great big deal for Josh and the 628 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: legacy he is building. Want to know against the Pat's 629 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: heading forward be huge mentally for him. Listen, if this 630 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: Bill's team walks into Foxborough and beats that team, it 631 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: does say something because that would be well, think about it. 632 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: Nobody one in there as a rookie quarterback in twenty 633 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: with three years. Yeah, I got the stat here, so 634 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean it since ninety five. Yeah, and your guy 635 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: does it with this team at a four to nine. 636 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: This is why that would be. It's it's it's almost 637 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: an impossibility. And that's why I don't want to get 638 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: if it happens. Yeah, I think that says something awesome 639 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: for the Bills and really bad for the Patriots. I 640 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,479 Speaker 1: mean they have I mean because this is this is 641 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,959 Speaker 1: this Bill's team was picked into being in the year 642 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: be the worst team in football. Right. Obviously dismissed that 643 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: right exactly, but they're still out of the playoff. It 644 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: wasn't like anybody who made that selection and said that's 645 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: the worst team in history. I don't think any of 646 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: them knew what they were talking about. Even when the 647 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: Bill started out so poorly, not scoring points, getting beat 648 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: what forty seventy three by the Ravens, getting laughed at about, 649 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: you know, how poor they were offensively, and people overreacted 650 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: to that, and I think that's typical standard NFL overreaction. 651 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: That doesn't But I just don't want to get too 652 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: far down the road because it is still a bit 653 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: of a mismatch. Steven, what the Patriots have done this year, 654 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: how the Patriots can put up points, and how the 655 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: Bills do it. I mean the Bills win games fourteen thirteen, 656 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: you know. Oh yeah, and that's that's true, and it's 657 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: not going to change. And I think that's why, knowing 658 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: who these teams are right at this point in history, 659 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: the Bills have to be an enormous underdog and to 660 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: go in there and do it in that building against 661 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: that team where nobody in the league has been able 662 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: to do that, I think I think that would be 663 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: an enormous, an enormous event. I mean, Pats average, I 664 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: think it's hugely meaningful of I guess is what I'm saying. 665 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: Patriots average thirty three and a half points scored per 666 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: game at home. That's four games for the Bills. I mean, 667 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: come on, it's three games anyway. Yeah. Practice, Yeah, they're 668 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: edging fifteen points per game now. Chris Brown, Bills inside 669 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bills dot Com set to go outside at 670 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: practice the Bills outside today. Why do you think to 671 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: move practice outside today? Chris Brown? It's just a beautiful day. 672 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: It's fifty degrees out here and you know, you know 673 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: and really get that in late December, so take advantage 674 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: of it. You're gonna be playing outside on Sunday, so 675 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: you might as well. Brownie. Here's our big question. Do 676 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: you think this game had would have extra extra meaning? 677 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: If it if the Bills were to walk into Foxboro 678 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: with a rookie quarterback and all the youth on offense, 679 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: and this is the way they've struggled this season to 680 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: be able to go in there and win a game 681 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, would add game be 682 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: a like a you know, have a resounding effect around 683 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, how much would it mean? Well, 684 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: I mean I think I think by virtue of the 685 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: fact that they've lost their last two games, You've got 686 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: the Josh Gordon suspension, which just adds to the turmoil 687 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: that is perceived to be going on in New England, 688 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: and everybody's so ready to kick dirt on this team 689 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: every year that if they did, in fact lose their 690 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: third straight game for the first time and what is 691 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: its sixteen years, I think that would be significant in 692 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: league circles. I think it could be galvanizing for this 693 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: team that's trying to provide themselves with some momentum going 694 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: into the offseason and into twenty nineteen, and beating the 695 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: team that's been the perennial division champion for the better 696 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: part of the last eighteen years, I think would go 697 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: a long way to boosting their confidence that they're moving 698 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: in the right direction. Chris, you spent a lot of 699 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: time in the locker room, including yesterday, and on this 700 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: topic in general. I don't get the sense, talking to players, 701 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: listening to what players are saying, that they feel like 702 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: that two game losing streak for New England means that 703 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: they're I mean, nobody agreed right that they were vulnerable. Now, 704 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: I don't think they I don't think the players viewed 705 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: that that's the case at all, do you, Yeah, I 706 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: don't think they're being lured into any kind of false 707 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: sense of security that, oh, you know, this team's in 708 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: trouble and you know we're gonna be able to get them. 709 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: You don't really sneak up on the Patriots in Gillette Stadium, 710 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick doesn't really allow that to happen. So, knowing 711 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: how miserable practice was probably this week for the Patriots, 712 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: in light of the fact that they have dropped two 713 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: in a row, and you know, now the division still 714 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: hasn't been clinched. You know, I think they're going to 715 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: be coming out looking for blood, quite frankly, because they 716 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: know if they lose a third in a row, they're 717 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: costing themselves an opportunity that they worked so hard to 718 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: achieve during the earlier portions of the season, when they 719 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: were winning football games and doing what everybody expected them 720 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: to do. All right, Brandon, let's talk about the Bills 721 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: today at practice. Any notable changes in the injury list. Yeah, 722 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: Kyle Williams is back out here. He missed yesterday's practice 723 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: with a back injury, so good to see him out here. 724 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to see if he's doing anything during individual 725 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: drills right now. I haven't seen him line up for 726 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: a rep to this point, so odds are he's probably 727 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: gonna be limited today. And then Ryan Lewis is out 728 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: here with a helmet, but he's not doing anything right now. 729 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: Participated in stretch, but if he's allowed to participate here 730 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: in practice, you would say he's at least in stage 731 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: four of the return to participation Protocol. Uh. You know, 732 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: obviously got to get through step five. For full medical clearance, 733 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: but that would be non contact practice related work. So 734 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: we'll see if he's on the injury report as limited, 735 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 1: and if that's the case, we know he's entered stage 736 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: four the protocol. We talk about it. I want to 737 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: ask about the running back situation. Are those guys all 738 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: practicing full Yeah? I mean they're all out here right now. Um. 739 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,919 Speaker 1: You know, McCoy, Ivory, uh, and Ford are all doing 740 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: drills with Pat DeMarco over during individuals. So yeah, it 741 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: looks like they're getting their usual taste of work. Uh. 742 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: You know, we'll see if they're listed as full go 743 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: after practice is over. I don't want to make sure 744 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: I get this right, Brownie. That um the new wide receiver, 745 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 1: Victor h Victor Holden, he's he was on the roster 746 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: in place of Marcus Murphy after the dislocated OBO. Correct. Yeah, 747 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: he filled the roster spot left by his designation to 748 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: injured reserve. Just running into our living room here on 749 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: that pass route. So yeah, talked to him a little 750 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: bit yesterday in the locker room, and you know, I 751 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,479 Speaker 1: kind of was trying to feel him out a little 752 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: bit because with only two weeks left in the regular season, 753 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: the chances of catching up on the offensive scheme, you know, 754 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: pretty tough to do in that span of time. My 755 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,919 Speaker 1: thinking was, you know, the primary reason he was brought 756 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: in here was to give him a look in the 757 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: return game, and he didn't deny that when I talked 758 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: to him about it. Now, he doesn't know if he's 759 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,479 Speaker 1: going to get the opportunity this week or whether it'll 760 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: wait till the last week of the season. But knowing 761 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 1: how many return men they have gone through this season, 762 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: because it's upwards of five, I can't imagine why they 763 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't give him an opportunity to return in some capacity. 764 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: He seems to have more experience, at least he did 765 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: in college on kick returns than punted. But he's so, 766 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 1: he told me yesterday's equally comfortable doing whichever one they 767 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: want him to do. So guy ready, willing and able. 768 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: We'll just see if he gets the chance. With Chris Brown, 769 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,919 Speaker 1: he's out at practice outside today the Bills practice field. 770 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills dot Com. You know, 771 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,720 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about special teams in recent weeks here, Chris, 772 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: and obviously the coverage teams deficiencies and the loss of 773 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: the Jets, and as you mentioned, all the different people 774 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 1: they've had trying to return kicks and punts. It really 775 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: I think the failure of the special teams this year 776 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 1: really has to be a function of how many different 777 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: how many people they've cycled through on the bottom of 778 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 1: the roster, Right, guys who weren't even thinking about being 779 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: contributors on offense or defense are now there. And the 780 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: guys just coming off the street who make up the 781 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: bulk of special teamers. I mean, I was thinking about 782 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: it this week watching Ramona Humber cover kicks for the Patriots. Right, 783 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: He's going to be tackling Bills returnment this week. He 784 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: was a fundamental special teamer for the Bills. Andre Holmes, 785 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: same deal. There've been a couple of guys who I'm 786 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: sure that they established as their primary special team who 787 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: are gone now some of them are going to play 788 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: against them, like Ramone Humb this week. Yeah, I mean, 789 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: there's certainly fewer and further between. And there were six 790 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: undrafted rookies that were on the field in some capacity 791 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 1: for the Bills last week and the win over Detroit, 792 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,280 Speaker 1: So I mean that's almost unheard of, let alone dressing 793 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: six undrafted rookies, but you actually put all six of 794 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: them on the field at one point or another, and 795 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: some of them are filling pretty sizable roles, whether it's 796 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: Corey Thompson at linebacker in place of the injured Mulano, 797 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: you know, helping to spell the vote or fill the 798 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: void there. You know, Robert Foster and what he's doing, 799 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: Levi Wallace starting at cornerback. I mean, you got guys 800 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: in starting roles that are undrafted rookies, and then you've 801 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: got three or four others who are playing prominent roles 802 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: on special teams. So it's pretty unique. But they've been 803 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: able to, at least for the most part, in those 804 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: prominent roles, hold things together as special teams is where 805 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, the cohesiveness doesn't appear to have gelled to 806 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, and that's the real point of the 807 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: whole exercises. Once you get those guys up and even 808 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: if they're playing well in the starters, rolling down a distance, 809 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: they're young, untested rookie free agents, which means there is 810 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: even a younger, more untested rookie free agents on special 811 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: teams behind them. And we also saw Lorenzo Alexander who 812 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 1: was playing about sixteen snaps of defense go in and 813 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's playing ninety eight percent of 814 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: the snaps against Detroit. He's off special teams as well, 815 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: So you lose a core guy like that, even on 816 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: this special team's role that he was filling. I mean, 817 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: Danny Crossman's got to be pulling his hair out trying 818 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 1: to juggle. And I don't think special teams coordinators get 819 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: enough credit. They got sixty six spots they've got to 820 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: fill on a forty five man roster. How are they 821 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: doing it. They're doing it with undrafted rookies. I mean, 822 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: that's really what they're doing. They're calling guys up for 823 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: the practice squad every week and trying to fill holes 824 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: where they are And that's really the job of a 825 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: special teams coach. You know a lot of people forget 826 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: that they're they're the coach that often has to deal 827 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 1: with the most roster turnover from the start of the 828 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: season to the end, just by virtue of the fact 829 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,720 Speaker 1: that when injuries happen on offense or defense, it's usually 830 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: a guy who's filling a special teams role that's called 831 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 1: to fill that. And when that happens, there's a domino 832 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: effect and an impact special teams and leaves a hole 833 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: and the guys you're picking from or either on your 834 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: practice squad or out on the street. You're hoping they're 835 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,720 Speaker 1: on the practice squad because at least they've been around 836 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: and they've run some reps in your scheme. And for 837 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: the most part that's been the case. But they still 838 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 1: have to get used to playing with ten guys around him, right, Chris, 839 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: One matchup in this game that I do not like 840 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: is Josh Allen against Bill Belichick. In the defense and 841 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,240 Speaker 1: the multiple defenses he is likely to see, the multiple 842 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: looks he is likely to get from the New England 843 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: defense that is slowing down, that is not great up front, 844 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: the front seven is not great. But still on the 845 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: back end, they're experienced, they're they're older, and they know 846 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: what they want to do. And I worry about that. 847 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: I worry that Josh Allen's gonna his head might be 848 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: spinning against this New England defense and all the looks 849 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna get on Sunday. Yeah, I mean, you know, 850 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: they like bracket coverage, but you know they'll and I 851 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: expect them to use that against Robert Foster to try 852 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: to neutralize him as a deep threat. And then you've 853 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: got Gilmore, the McCardy brothers, Chung. Those four guys have 854 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: played with each other for a long period of time, 855 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: so I kind of expect them to know and be 856 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 1: a cohesive unit. So yeah, they could throw some curveballs 857 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: at It'll be interesting to see how Josh handles it. 858 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Chris, Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo 859 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: Bills dot Com on the field outdoors at practice today 860 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: as the Bills get set to play the Patriots on Sunday, 861 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: wearing his headphones today, keep his ears worth, Yeah, not 862 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: just earpieces. I see what it is. You know what 863 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: I mean though about that? That's a that's a tough matchup. 864 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: And i'd see New England's defensive. You know, they're not 865 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: playing great defense. The numbers winging through it the other 866 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: day are not good. But they all know where to 867 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: be and they're they're gonna have I think a field day. 868 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: Trying to mix up this young rookie, and is what 869 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: tenth NFL start trying to show him stuff that he's 870 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: never seen before. I would say that if if Josh 871 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,439 Speaker 1: Allen has a big day, it's probably gonna be with 872 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: his legs, not his arm. I think they're gonna probably 873 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,360 Speaker 1: gonna try and do their best to confuse him and 874 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,399 Speaker 1: then have a plan for him to run. If he's 875 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: gonna run the football, how they're going to handle that, 876 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see where they do that, 877 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: force him to run with the football, take all away 878 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: all his lanes, or if they do it like Detroit did, 879 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: they don't rush him at all. They stand back, rush 880 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: four guys straight up. They don't get any deeper than 881 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback, and they've let him stand back there all 882 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: he wants and then wait for him to lose patience 883 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: and make a mistake. All right, we're gonna break, We're 884 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: coming back. One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive on 885 00:42:45,760 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. One Goal Slide from One Goals Drive. 886 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: John burfeastea casker here in our one Buffalo studio. Happy 887 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: to have you with us here till three o'clock today. 888 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: Bruce arians going to join us next hour. Former coach 889 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,320 Speaker 1: at the Arizona Cardinals who says the only, the only 890 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: He didn't say this, but he said the team he 891 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: really wants to coach for next is the Cleveland Browns. 892 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: Remember we're laughing about that back when he first said it, 893 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: Bless his heart. He has since doubled down on that. 894 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: All the Browns doing hour win with Greg Williams, he 895 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: might not got that chance. We'll talk about Bruce arians 896 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 1: about that. Also after practice today, Derek Anderson, builds quarterback, 897 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: will join us to figure out what he's up to 898 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: now that he is back. I'll tell you what it 899 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: took him. It took him a long time to get 900 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: out of the concussion protocol. And you really kind of 901 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 1: worry about a guy like that. Of course, he's he's 902 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: been in the league a long time. The hit he 903 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: took didn't look that vicious, and to see him be 904 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 1: out for that long, it's pretty concerning. But I've heard 905 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: him quoted as saying he wants to continue playing. And 906 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: I think he likes this atmosphere here in this locker room. 907 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 1: I think he likes Josh Allen, likes Matt Barkley. I 908 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: think he found a spot here that he's he's ready 909 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: to hang in there with if the Bills want him. Yeah, 910 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll asking him. We'll ask answering that question. 911 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,320 Speaker 1: They were talking to you about this matchup Bills that 912 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 1: New England. I'll fight you figure out the Bills got 913 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: him be underdogs, I'll figure out how many points. But 914 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: if the Bills should win, what does that mean? What 915 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: do you think it would say if the Bills beat 916 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots in New England? A lot of us, I think, 917 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,720 Speaker 1: are prepared to say, well, that's it. It's the changing 918 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,320 Speaker 1: of the guard, right, it's it's a new era. Maybe 919 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: maybe it is. I mean the Bills were the rookie 920 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: quarterback going in there. What would it mean if the 921 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 1: Bills beat the Patriots in New England on Sunday? You 922 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: can phone us something, let us know. On Twitter a 923 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: couple of tweets from Mark Kenander it would mean that 924 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,280 Speaker 1: the Josh Allen questions can be towssed out the window 925 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: because he had a great game. I guess, well, if 926 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: he has a great game, they can probably win without 927 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: him playing great. That's mostly a defensive thing. And from 928 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 1: Adam he said, I want Tom Brady and New England 929 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: fans to have nightmares about Josh Allen after Sunday and 930 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 1: other ones. Adam, you want a total reversal of the 931 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,840 Speaker 1: way it's been for the last fifteen years, right with 932 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 1: Bills fans and Brady. Who wouldn't want that, It wouldn't 933 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: root for that? Yeah, New England is minus twelve and 934 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: a half. Who that's a lot. Yeah, so it would 935 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: mean it was a huge upset too, minus twelve and 936 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: a half. So the Bills are twelve and a half 937 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: point after dog. It goes as far as thirteen and 938 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: a half. Oh yeah, yeah, So do you want to 939 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: revisit what I was saying a few minutes ago about that? Listen, 940 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: it's not got ahead of ourselves. Listen, that showed you 941 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: they deserve they deserve to be a big favorite in 942 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, but let me remind you the Bills 943 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 1: walked into Minnesota sixteen point dogs and one outright, it 944 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: seems like going ago. It does seem like a lifetime ago. Yes, 945 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: but the team is a lot different now too, Yeah, 946 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 1: a lot different. Yeah, a lot better. They're much better. 947 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: They're much better on both sides of the Bowl. U 948 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 1: six undrafted players playing prominent roles, and they're better. You 949 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: know why they're playing better? There's some tangible things. Are 950 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 1: they more talented? They're faster? Yeah? There, they know more 951 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: about who their own guys are Brian Dable has found 952 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: out a lot more about who he has on that 953 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: roster and what he can do. He's being more creative. 954 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 1: He knows Josh Allen what he can do. And also 955 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is a big concern for defenses. Who played 956 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 1: this team. Nate Peterman wasn't. Matt Barkley wasn't you know, 957 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: Derek Anderson wasn't. Josh Allen is as a headache with 958 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: his legs and with his arm, and all of a sudden, 959 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,919 Speaker 1: the defense the field gets really, really really big. They've 960 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 1: got to cover a lot of ground in a big 961 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 1: hurry because his ball gets there in a big hurry. 962 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:42,920 Speaker 1: So they are better both philosophically and talent wise. So 963 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: I not this. I'm not telling you that this big 964 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 1: juggernaut all of a sudden but there. But let's face it, 965 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: they were. They were bad early in the season. They 966 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: didn't know who they were. Their quarterback was turning it over, 967 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: their defense was still struggling to get things together. They 968 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 1: were taking big, one sided law losses. And not so anymore. 969 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: With Josh Allen and this defense to playing the way 970 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 1: it is, They're competitive in every game these last four games. 971 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,479 Speaker 1: You think about it. The Jacksonville game, the Miami game, 972 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: the Jet game, and in the Detroit game. They've been close, 973 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 1: fought battles and I remember the Bills were really competitive 974 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 1: in all of them. So it's they went two and 975 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: two in them, and that's uh so, Yeah, they're they're 976 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: a team that is a headache for for teams. They 977 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: are much better than they were eight weeks ago. Would 978 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 1: I mean if they beat the Patriots, we'll find out. 979 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you about him when we come back. Also, 980 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, former Arizona Cardinals head coach. He'll be on 981 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 1: the NFL on CBS caught all the game this Sunday 982 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 1: the Bills and the Patriots.

Thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. 1035 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: Oh you bad guys looking forward to it? Yeah? Are 1036 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: you looking forward to the game on Sunday's Steve just 1037 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 1: told me it's a thirteen point margin the point spread, 1038 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: which makes it looks like the Patriots will roll. But 1039 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:41,800 Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you think of this matchup? 1040 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a heck of a ball game. 1041 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 1: I really like the way the Bills are playing right now. 1042 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 1: They've been in close games all the way, and I 1043 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: think Josh Allen is getting better and better. Since you 1044 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 1: were a head coach in Arizona, what was your philosophy? 1045 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 1: Because we're talking, we make a big deal out of 1046 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 1: where the Bills practice inside or outside, and they're going 1047 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: to New England, which you know that's an outdoor stadium. 1048 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,800 Speaker 1: What was your philosophy because you guys, you know you 1049 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 1: practiced in the great weather in Arizona all the time, 1050 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 1: but you've also coached in Pittsburgh and that what's your 1051 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 1: philosophy as a head coach about whether your team practices 1052 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: indoors or outdoors and what affects it? Well, I think 1053 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: the biggest thing is the health of the players, in 1054 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 1: the condition of the field. A lot of times it 1055 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 1: feels hard or frozen. There's no sense putting guys out. 1056 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: You're not going to get the work done. Wednesdays and Thursdays. 1057 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: I like going inside and making sure we got quality 1058 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 1: work done for our game plan and Friday if we 1059 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: needed some elements, we'd go out Friday. Most of the time, 1060 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 1: the guys are used to it and they can play 1061 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: in it on Sunday. Coach Bruce Arians who's known as 1062 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback expert at quarterback Whisperer if you will, And 1063 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that book in a second. But you 1064 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: mentioned already you like what you see from Josh Allen. 1065 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,279 Speaker 1: What do you see from him? Coach? What do you like? Well? 1066 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: I love his athleticism, and I think he's growing as 1067 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 1: a player. He's obviously got a strong arm, and with 1068 00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 1: those young receivers, they're putting it down the field. He's 1069 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: not afraid to run. I think he needs to start 1070 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,399 Speaker 1: becoming more careful. Like all young quarterbacks, you know, they've 1071 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: got to try to win over their locker room and 1072 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 1: show everybody how tough they are. And I think he's 1073 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: already done that, So it's time to step out of balance, 1074 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 1: slide a little more, and just protect himself. Yeah, Bruce, 1075 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,240 Speaker 1: allus been made about your comments about the Cleveland Browns 1076 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 1: coaching job, and we were talking and since we asked 1077 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 1: you about Josh Allen, you've obviously spent some time looking 1078 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,439 Speaker 1: at Baker Mayfield. Well what intrigues you about that job? 1079 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: Is it that young quarterback and their talent that's on 1080 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: the roster or what else is about that job appeals 1081 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 1: to you? No, it really. I had made the statement early, 1082 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: early in the season before Baker took off. But it's 1083 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 1: the fans of Cleveland. I mean, I've a coach there, 1084 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: I've gone in there as a visitor, and you know, 1085 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,280 Speaker 1: they could be oh and fifteen and there's there's somebody 1086 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,560 Speaker 1: in every seat that the fander just fantastic football fans 1087 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 1: in Northern Ohio. And that's what's always wrong. I coached there. 1088 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 1: I loved it when I was there, and I always 1089 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,399 Speaker 1: wanted that job. Back to what you see from Josh 1090 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: Allen for a second, coach, what is the main area 1091 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,759 Speaker 1: you've mentioned he should maybe shouldn't tuck it and run 1092 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: as much. But where can he improve the most? And 1093 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,799 Speaker 1: where do you see him as far as reading defenses 1094 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,279 Speaker 1: and diagnosing what he sees from opponents defenses? Well, I 1095 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: think that's the part that he continues to improve on, 1096 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 1: and you know, getting down to a second third reads, 1097 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,720 Speaker 1: checking some balls down and stead of taking off and running. 1098 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,839 Speaker 1: And he's so successful at it. I'm sure that's why 1099 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: he's doing it, and but just continued to grow as 1100 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback in processing information quickly. And that's what I 1101 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 1: love when rookies are playing, because that's the only way 1102 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 1: to learn. He is likely to get some different looks 1103 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 1: from Belichick in the New England defense this week. Stuff 1104 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,399 Speaker 1: he's never seen before. I would think, huh, I would 1105 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: imagine unless he saw it the last time he goause 1106 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 1: you know they're going to have six or seven tps 1107 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,320 Speaker 1: are all linebackers. It's not going to be a conventional 1108 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 1: look on third down. First and second down it's pretty normal. 1109 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,400 Speaker 1: But third down is the down that really young quarterbacks 1110 00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,399 Speaker 1: have to learn to decipher all the things that they're 1111 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,720 Speaker 1: going to see, if they're hot, if it's a blitz, 1112 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: whatever it is, and get the ball to the right guy. Bruce, 1113 00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 1: let me ask you this. You do have away with quarterbacks. 1114 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,800 Speaker 1: But in Buffalo, a lot of people are having a 1115 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,800 Speaker 1: hard time evaluating how good or bad Josh Allen actually 1116 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 1: is given the youth around him. The Bills are starting 1117 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 1: a lot of young rookie free agents. His offensive line 1118 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 1: has struggled, the run game hasn't been there at all. 1119 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: How do you evaluate the progress of a young quarterback 1120 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,839 Speaker 1: given the fact that he may not be getting much help. 1121 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,279 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things you look at 1122 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 1: situational football. Is he getting better and third down? Is 1123 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,799 Speaker 1: he getting better? In the red zone? Shots down the field? 1124 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 1: It looks to me like he's understanding where to take 1125 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 1: his shots down the field. And those two young guys 1126 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 1: are starting to get open down the field, And yeah, 1127 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,759 Speaker 1: I see. I think you just naturally see progression just 1128 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,800 Speaker 1: from the fact that he's getting all the reps in 1129 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 1: practice and he's out there playing the game. Bruce, last 1130 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: week against Detroit, I like the fact that Allen ran 1131 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 1: a formant an offense. You don't kill the clock. He 1132 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,319 Speaker 1: never had really had to do that before in a game, 1133 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 1: in a winning game, and I thought that was a 1134 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 1: step forward for him. Is that is that significant at all? 1135 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 1: Is that important at all? You thing? Totally? Totally? And 1136 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 1: you know Brian Dapple took big risk and throwing the 1137 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: ball in that foremant offense. He had great play action 1138 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: to a great touch pass to the tight end. And yeah, 1139 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean that's the growth you're saying, Bruce. Let me 1140 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,800 Speaker 1: ask you this, with this game coming up in Foxburg 1141 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills. You got a rookie quarterback in there. 1142 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: A rookie quarterback hasn't won in Foxboro since nineteen ninety five. 1143 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 1: And I get it, but not every rookie. Every quarterback 1144 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,279 Speaker 1: that goes in there is a rookie. Why have the 1145 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 1: Patriots been so dominant over the last fifteen years? Is there? 1146 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 1: Is it one or two things or is it just 1147 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 1: a multitude of different reasons. It's a multitude. I mean 1148 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: it's a very very good football team. And I mean 1149 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 1: I've been in there with Peyton Manning Andrew Ben Roethlisberger 1150 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 1: and we didn't come out with a winner and any 1151 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 1: of those. So it doesn't matter who's playing quarterback. It 1152 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 1: takes a complete team. And uh, you know, I think 1153 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 1: the games we were close in our defenses played great 1154 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 1: and gave us a chance. And yet here in Buffalo 1155 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,840 Speaker 1: coach Aions, we got Bills, fans and maybe even my 1156 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,719 Speaker 1: partner here's Steve Tansker. We're pretty excited about bringing a 1157 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback to Foxborough for the first time against the 1158 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: Patriots team that's lost two in a row and maybe 1159 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 1: showing signs of vulnerability. Do you see those signs in 1160 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 1: their two game losing streak? What do you see for 1161 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,319 Speaker 1: knowing them? Well, I just saw a couple of misplays, 1162 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady got him down to Pittsburgh got 1163 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 1: him down and they got the penalty. I think had 1164 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,239 Speaker 1: they had a few shots in there from the seven 1165 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,520 Speaker 1: or eight, they may have had a chance to score. 1166 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 1: But once they got the penalty, it was tough. Very 1167 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,200 Speaker 1: uncharacteristic turnovers in a couple of ball games that I've 1168 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:52,480 Speaker 1: seen from Tom and defensively in the last two games, 1169 00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,520 Speaker 1: too many penalties, and that's a trademark for them. They're 1170 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,320 Speaker 1: they're a very clean football team. They don't make mistakes 1171 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,879 Speaker 1: to beat themselves. And the struggled a couple of weeks. Yeah, 1172 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 1: you've seen these these Patriot teams over the years. You've 1173 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 1: played against him, As you said, you had some pretty 1174 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,919 Speaker 1: quality quarterbacks to play against him with. Do you see 1175 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,759 Speaker 1: a difference in Tom Brady's play this year? Hey, you know, 1176 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 1: I haven't studied him. We didn't, We've hadn't the first 1177 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: week we've had him. I've watched two or three games, 1178 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 1: and I don't see it different. There's some drop passes 1179 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,000 Speaker 1: I haven't seen in the past. You know, I haven't 1180 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 1: seen Julian Edelman drop a ball on third down in 1181 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 1: the past. And you know those critical plays, uh. You 1182 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 1: your accustomed to seeing the Patriots make those plays, and 1183 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 1: in the last few weeks they haven't made a few 1184 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: some of them and has come up costing them. We're 1185 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 1: on the line with the former Arizona Cardinals head coach 1186 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,440 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians from the NFL on CBS will have the 1187 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 1: call of the game. The Bills and the Patriots coming 1188 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 1: up Sunday at one o'clock on the NFL on CBS. Coach, 1189 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 1: you wrote a book, The Quarterback Whisper, How to Build 1190 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: an Elite NFL Quarterback book, published a year ago. Give 1191 00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 1: us the elevator speech. How do you build an elite 1192 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,000 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL these days? The toughest that you 1193 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: can go ahead and evaluate arm strength and height, weight, 1194 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: speed and athleticism and all those things. But the two 1195 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 1: the two muscles you used to play that position, your 1196 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 1: brain in your heart. It's very hard to judge those 1197 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 1: and to know if a guy has what I call grit, 1198 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,640 Speaker 1: and that's when he gets in the huddle and everyone 1199 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,840 Speaker 1: the other ten guys said, oh, this place is going 1200 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: to work just the way it calls it. And been 1201 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:26,960 Speaker 1: very fortunate to be around some of the some of 1202 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 1: the best in the game, and they all have that 1203 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: one common denominator and that's what I call grit. I 1204 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: was going to ask you about that. You you mentioned 1205 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 1: you've coached Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck with Ben Roethlisberger. They 1206 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,920 Speaker 1: all they're all unique in their own way, and I 1207 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 1: was going to ask you to kind of find a 1208 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 1: common denominator you think it's just actually their ability to 1209 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: get the guys in the huddle to believe that they 1210 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 1: can do it. Is there more to it than that 1211 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,880 Speaker 1: each of them probably did a different way. Yeah, they 1212 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 1: all do a different way. But when they want the 1213 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 1: ball down by three and go win the ball game, 1214 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,040 Speaker 1: and everyone I wants to win the ball game, and 1215 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:08,160 Speaker 1: they all have the ability process information extremely fast, and 1216 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,760 Speaker 1: that separates all the great ones from there. There's a 1217 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 1: lot of great arms out there that can't process information 1218 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: fast enough. They have to hold onto the ball and 1219 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 1: see a guy come open and then it's too late. 1220 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 1: In the NFL. So if they can process information, but 1221 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: the biggest thing, they have to be a leader of men. 1222 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,600 Speaker 1: He go. Try to imagine with your background with Andrew Luck, 1223 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 1: you're probably really gratified to see his big comeback. Yere 1224 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 1: probably the comeback player in the league this year. Andrew Luck. 1225 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,600 Speaker 1: Hunh Yeah, I mean I'm excited about it because I 1226 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: think the league needs him. He is. I had him 1227 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: as a rookie and I think as he did as 1228 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 1: a rookie were just absolutely amazing, and so yeah, I 1229 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 1: think he's one. I still think of him as a 1230 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 1: young player, and you know, he is in the seventh year, 1231 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's great to see him back. You talk 1232 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: about that leadership and some of the players you've coached. 1233 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about another player, Ben Roethlisberger, 1234 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,960 Speaker 1: who recently and the Pittsburgh Steaters have a little bit 1235 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 1: of a roller coaster season. They always seem to thrive 1236 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 1: on the drama around their locker room, but Ben Roethlisberger 1237 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 1: called out a couple of his teammates earlier in the year. 1238 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 1: What you think about his comments. I think that's Ben 1239 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,200 Speaker 1: being Ben. You know, he's kind of earned the right 1240 01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 1: in that locker room. Nobody questions him. And if he 1241 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 1: did it, he had a perfectly good reason for it, 1242 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 1: and they seem to play a lot better after it. Huh. 1243 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,120 Speaker 1: I got one more player to ask you about coaching 1244 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 1: one of the great players of our generation, really this generation, 1245 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, who's had an amazing career. You were there 1246 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,480 Speaker 1: for much of it in Arizona. Do you get the 1247 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 1: sense that that career is kind of winding down? Larry's 1248 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: kind of being coy about it these days, isn't he. Well, 1249 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,560 Speaker 1: Larry's coy about it every year. Yeah, And I never 1250 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 1: knew you know, even going when he came out of 1251 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,040 Speaker 1: the tunnel for the last game, it's like, is this 1252 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 1: his last? And you hope it's not, because you know 1253 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 1: he is a great player. But one thing about Larry Fitzgerald, 1254 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 1: he's a better human being. Yeah, and I would agree 1255 01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,360 Speaker 1: with you. I've I've had occasion to come across Larry 1256 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 1: in multiple multiple times, and he's one of those guys 1257 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,920 Speaker 1: that not only will he probably definitely go into the 1258 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame in the NFL, if there was a 1259 01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame of human beings, Larry might well be 1260 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: a founding member. There's no doubt. There's no doubt. Hey, coach, 1261 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 1: thanks for this, Thanks for spending a few minutes with 1262 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 1: us here today. We will see you on Sunday at 1263 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 1: the game in foxbur We appreciate it, you bet. Thanks guys, 1264 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,280 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians from the NFL on CBS. He'll be there 1265 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 1: on the broadcast with Greg Gumbled and Trent Green for 1266 01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,280 Speaker 1: the Bills and the Patriots. Coach Erran's two time NFL 1267 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,240 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, most recent sint with the Arizona Cardinals, 1268 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 1: and he joined us on the Subway Fresh State Hotline 1269 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 1: presented by Subway restaurants proud to be locally owned and operating. Yeah, 1270 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 1: it's interesting you see why. You know he had a 1271 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 1: real good stint as as a head coach. How honest 1272 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 1: and straight to the point he was, I mean, Bruce, 1273 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 1: they call him beam. There's no fluff in his speech, right, 1274 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 1: He's like, now, here's what's going to happen. Here's and 1275 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 1: players thrive on that, and a lot of people think 1276 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 1: and wrongly. I think. Listen, even in this building, Murph, 1277 01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 1: they tend to tiptoe around the players. You know, they say, 1278 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 1: like treat them like rock stars, like their divas, like 1279 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 1: almost like opera singers. They don't like that good because 1280 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 1: players players like to be like the honest truth, and 1281 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 1: they you almost people pick pick their speech around them. 1282 01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 1: They took tiptoe around them. It's like, listen, you know, 1283 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,600 Speaker 1: they would respond better if people would just dream, Hey, 1284 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:28,680 Speaker 1: here's how it's gonna be. Here's what you need to do. 1285 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 1: They don't want to have to think through all of 1286 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 1: this stuff. You just tell them where they need to be. 1287 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,440 Speaker 1: That's what they're used to. That's how they got to 1288 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 1: be really good football players. They have good coaches tell 1289 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: them exactly what they want them to do and what 1290 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 1: they expect of them, and they're and they're brutally honest 1291 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,200 Speaker 1: with them. They thrive on that. That's why they're in 1292 01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 1: this building is because they've been able to thrive on that, 1293 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:47,800 Speaker 1: I think. And you can tell why the players love 1294 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,960 Speaker 1: playing for BA Bruce arians He didn't mince words, and 1295 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,160 Speaker 1: players don't have feelings. I mean, let you face it, 1296 01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,200 Speaker 1: you go through a locker room, you got a thick 1297 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 1: skin because you know it's a They bust on each other, 1298 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,040 Speaker 1: they make fun of each other over and nothing is 1299 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 1: off limits. Yeah, and so they you can't hurt their feelings, 1300 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 1: tell him the truth and they thrive on. And then 1301 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,640 Speaker 1: you can tell by his personality that's why he was 1302 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 1: such a successful head coach. You know what, I think 1303 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 1: I might have to pick up his book. The book 1304 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 1: is The Quarterback Whisper, How to build an elite NFL Quarterback. 1305 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: And he's been around a lot of them, right, and 1306 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 1: he talked about some of them in Roethlisberger and Andrew 1307 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:28,320 Speaker 1: Luck obviously and Peyton Manning. I mean, he's been around 1308 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 1: some really good quarterbacks coat some really good quarterbacks. But 1309 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,720 Speaker 1: when you asked him whether the traits that an elite quarterback. 1310 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,440 Speaker 1: Has you didn't talk about arm strength or accuracy or 1311 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 1: or you know, quick delivery or you know quick release. 1312 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 1: He talked about two things, intelligence and grit. I thought 1313 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 1: that was kind of cool. I'm glad he said. And 1314 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 1: I got thinking immediately about and you know, for me, 1315 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 1: when we spent all year evaluating Josh Allen and right 1316 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 1: from the first preseason game, we would talk about Josh 1317 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,439 Speaker 1: Allen and I would say, I really like his competitive fire. 1318 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 1: I like the way he we already know he's the 1319 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 1: what the he was the top um the Wonderlick Score, 1320 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: so he know it's intelligent. And then he comes in 1321 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 1: here and all you see is his competitive fire and 1322 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 1: his grit. And if you haven't seen it, go back 1323 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 1: and watch miked up with Josh this week at Buffalo 1324 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,280 Speaker 1: Bills dot com. But I'm thinking, well, Josh kind of 1325 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:19,600 Speaker 1: fits into exactly what Bruce Arian's is talking about intelligence 1326 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 1: and grit the two key components of a successful quarterback 1327 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I think that's kind of cool. I agree, 1328 01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: And I think there's an old and it's and we've 1329 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 1: been talking about this too, and we're gonna go round 1330 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 1: and round with this as long as all these guys 1331 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 1: are in the league, they're all drafted together. Baker Mayfield, 1332 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Lamar Jackson, they were 1333 01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 1: all draft in the first round of the ninth, two 1334 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 1: thousand eighteen NFL Draft. They're all gonna be linked, just 1335 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,280 Speaker 1: like the nineteen eighty three quarterback class was. If you 1336 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: don't know what that, if you're if you're a millennial, 1337 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 1: go back and look it up. Do something. Yeah, there's 1338 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,040 Speaker 1: some guys, there's some guys in the Hall of Fame 1339 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 1: in that class, and there are also some guys who 1340 01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 1: struggled in that class. But I think the guys who 1341 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 1: were successful in that class, they're all completely different. It 1342 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,440 Speaker 1: was John Elway, Dan Marino, and Jim Kelly. They're all 1343 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,800 Speaker 1: completely different quarterbacks. But they all they're all got a 1344 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 1: lot of grit and they all, you know, could read 1345 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 1: a defense and he had a quick and you could 1346 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:15,960 Speaker 1: get rid of the ball. They knew where they wanted 1347 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 1: to go with the football. And the guy I played with, 1348 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: Jim was the quintessential tough guy, you know. I mean 1349 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 1: he was He would yell at you and be rate 1350 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 1: you and say listen, but he was. You know, the 1351 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,080 Speaker 1: reason he got away with it was because he was 1352 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,200 Speaker 1: willing to take the blame as well, Hey, that was 1353 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 1: my fault. I'm gonna be better. So he really rally 1354 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 1: around a guy like that. Marino. As much as I 1355 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,120 Speaker 1: hated his guts when we played, he's become a pretty 1356 01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:44,080 Speaker 1: good friend. And he's the same way. He just wanted 1357 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:45,919 Speaker 1: to win every play. And that's I think we've said 1358 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,080 Speaker 1: it a ton of times, Murph. It's exactly what we 1359 01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 1: see in Josh. He didn't care what last play was 1360 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,160 Speaker 1: or what's gonna happen down the line. He must win 1361 01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 1: on this snap. And I think that's why he's so 1362 01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 1: fun to watch. Yeah, it give us a call and 1363 01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 1: we want to talk about the Bills and if they 1364 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: should win Sunday, if they should uh you know spring 1365 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:08,520 Speaker 1: the upset. That is an upset at thirteen? Kay, what 1366 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:10,280 Speaker 1: does it mean? What do you think? Give us a call? 1367 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 1: Eight oh three? Five? When you bring me back to 1368 01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 1: eight five, it's Look the more I told you this 1369 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 1: during the last commercial break, and I've spent the last 1370 01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,840 Speaker 1: couple of days now watching Patriots video of the last 1371 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: couple of games. The more video I watched the more 1372 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,200 Speaker 1: impressed I am with them and the higher hill I 1373 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,160 Speaker 1: think it is for the Buffalo Bills to climb in 1374 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,320 Speaker 1: Foxborough on Sunday. It's not gonna be It's not easy. 1375 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be easy. Two days ago, I was 1376 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 1: giddy out here like it was like a little girl 1377 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 1: telling you how you know what you know why you 1378 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: get giddy because this is a team.

I know 1392 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,360 Speaker 1: why they put me on because you guys are talking 1393 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,880 Speaker 1: about it. But listen, I mean, the writing is on 1394 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,560 Speaker 1: the wall. Come on, we got the number two derated defense. 1395 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 1: We got the number two defense in the league. Okay, 1396 01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,000 Speaker 1: you know they just lost Josh Gordon. I mean, this 1397 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,320 Speaker 1: is setting up for Josh at setting up for Josh. 1398 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 1: Allen deferred to be an upset. I'm not saying it's 1399 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 1: gonna be upset. I hope it's gonna be an upset. 1400 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 1: As a football fan, I wanted to be an upset. 1401 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 1: But you know it is Tom Brady, you know what 1402 01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 1: I mean. There's always that, you know, and it's in Foxboro, 1403 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:49,640 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But the writing is on 1404 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,440 Speaker 1: the wall. It can happen. This is this is Buffalo, 1405 01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: where things happen like the miracles. Well, they ain't gonna 1406 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,320 Speaker 1: call the game off just because they think the Patriots 1407 01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 1: are eating. No way they're gonna lose. They're gonna play 1408 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what, and we've seen it. We 1409 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 1: were just talking about it. It's the same topic. The 1410 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:06,840 Speaker 1: Bills players are gonna go in there thinking they gonna win. 1411 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,280 Speaker 1: They will believe it, and they're gonna play like that 1412 01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:15,480 Speaker 1: and that's why, Hey, you never know. No, it's just 1413 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,120 Speaker 1: like just like the old commercial. You know, you never know. 1414 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,400 Speaker 1: Thank so, I say, you know, it's funny you mentioned 1415 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,519 Speaker 1: I believe me they can win. And Michael Hyde was 1416 01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,800 Speaker 1: on the show yesterday. He said something and I was 1417 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:26,679 Speaker 1: thinking about it overnight. I told you I didn't sleep 1418 01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:28,680 Speaker 1: well last night. I was thinking about this game a 1419 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,120 Speaker 1: little bit. One thing that stuck me. Michael Hyde said, 1420 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, I brought up the twenty five to six 1421 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,559 Speaker 1: loss Monday in football two months ago and said, that's 1422 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 1: kind of an unrealistic score, didn't really reflect it. The 1423 01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,560 Speaker 1: Bills gave up a pick six at the end, the 1424 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,680 Speaker 1: Bills around one eighty five yards scoring drive and a 1425 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:46,720 Speaker 1: bunch of field goals, and Mica Hides had over there 1426 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,559 Speaker 1: and said, yeah, we played him close to the last 1427 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 1: three times. So I went back and looked it up 1428 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:55,080 Speaker 1: this morning. Not really Bills lost by nineteen in October. 1429 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 1: They lost by twenty one points in New England last 1430 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, remember that game, and they lost by twenty 1431 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 1: points back on December third year in twenty seventeen. I 1432 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,120 Speaker 1: like the fact that Mike hidesays we played him tough 1433 01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 1: we played him close to the last three games. The 1434 01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 1: scores indicate otherwise. But I like that Michael hides things 1435 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 1: of it that way. You know what I'm saying. Oh, yeah, 1436 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,439 Speaker 1: he's deluding himself. But I like that he's diluting himself. 1437 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: And I don't you know, I don't know how you know, 1438 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,240 Speaker 1: you get it's easy to sit back and think about 1439 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:27,960 Speaker 1: that as a big picture, But none of those games 1440 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 1: affect this game. You're right, Oh, yeah, I know. But 1441 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 1: even though they're all three possession games, Mike is Yeah, 1442 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,840 Speaker 1: Mike is getting confidence in the fact that, in his mind, 1443 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,400 Speaker 1: they played him tough and that we know what happened 1444 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 1: in next Yeah, they got to feel real confident defensively. 1445 01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question the Patriot's gonna do some 1446 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,640 Speaker 1: things against him and make some adjustments. But this is 1447 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,599 Speaker 1: a good defense, and they should feel confident about their 1448 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 1: ability to hold them below their average at least they 1449 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,679 Speaker 1: and they held him to one offensive touchdown the last 1450 01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 1: time they played. What did they tell you? The average 1451 01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,479 Speaker 1: home score for them is thirty six points. They put 1452 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,760 Speaker 1: up three at home. Let's take a call here from 1453 01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 1: Joe and tond. I want to go ahead and Joe, 1454 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 1: you're on the air, Ali guys. All right, Joe complain 1455 01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,439 Speaker 1: about the Pro Bowl. I think every team should have 1456 01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 1: at least one player and was Matt Molano on his 1457 01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,960 Speaker 1: way to being a Pro Bowl player? And the rest 1458 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,400 Speaker 1: of people to win this week is maybe a couple 1459 01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:26,880 Speaker 1: of trick plays. We haven't seen it at all. Maybe 1460 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 1: a board flee flicker to Allen, maybe a wide receiver passed, 1461 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 1: and I want to go for it on fourth and 1462 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 1: one for a field goal because that's automatic. All right, 1463 01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 1: thank you? Laundry lists from Joe. Why no Pro Bowlers? 1464 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 1: I don't understand go for it on fourth and one 1465 01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 1: for a field goal? Yeah, I don't know what he 1466 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 1: meant there. Why no Pro Bowlers? I think it's pretty simple. 1467 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 1: I think the fact that the Bill's record, they're five 1468 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 1: and nine, and they started out so poorly with some 1469 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 1: really bad losses early on. I think they sort of 1470 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,120 Speaker 1: took themselves out of people's conscious Now as the season 1471 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,800 Speaker 1: has moved along, we've seen defensive players especially and you 1472 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:06,959 Speaker 1: know what might be. You know, we talked about redevious. 1473 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,880 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer is having a Pro Bowl season. Steve Jordan 1474 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 1: Poyer played great all year, played great last year too, 1475 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:13,880 Speaker 1: by the way, And again that's something like I height 1476 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:15,800 Speaker 1: said yesterday, he would have been his pick for the 1477 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:17,599 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. But yeah, that's the reason I think there's 1478 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 1: no Pro Bowl. Yeah, I think you're right. It's the 1479 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,559 Speaker 1: team's record, and it's an individual also, an individual kind 1480 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:27,160 Speaker 1: of rewarded during in a team atmosphere. So what it 1481 01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,559 Speaker 1: comes down to is if if fans across the country 1482 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 1: are voting, they look over and they say, well, who's 1483 01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 1: got the most sacks? Okay, there's the top guy in 1484 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,880 Speaker 1: the AFC. I'm footing for him. This guy, I'm going 1485 01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 1: to vote for him, and yeah, and who's got the 1486 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 1: most interceptions and all that kind of stuff. Who did 1487 01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,519 Speaker 1: I see play on Monday Night? Oh yeah, he had 1488 01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,320 Speaker 1: an interception on Monday Night football. So when you get 1489 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 1: the fan votes, that's what that kind of gravitates toward. 1490 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: He also and he asked if Matt Malana was headed 1491 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:53,800 Speaker 1: for a Pro Bowl season, and he'd like to think 1492 01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,160 Speaker 1: so that he would get a thought about it. But 1493 01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if he's a widely 1494 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:04,880 Speaker 1: enough known enough commodity to get that, you know, I 1495 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:09,479 Speaker 1: think it would be unlikely, but maybe he had six stakeaways. Yeah, 1496 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,800 Speaker 1: I mean that's I think. I think if you're talking 1497 01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,840 Speaker 1: about a guy like Matt Milano, you're talking about the 1498 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 1: coaches and players who played against the Bills, and what 1499 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,719 Speaker 1: kind of respect they have for him. Would they see 1500 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,400 Speaker 1: that kind of play in him? And maybe they would. 1501 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, And you never they never tell you 1502 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:27,400 Speaker 1: what the voting is and and they'll probably stay that way. 1503 01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:30,679 Speaker 1: And I don't know about beating New England one trick play, 1504 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,840 Speaker 1: a couple of trick plays, I don't know. And maybe 1505 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 1: you might get a little help by running one trick play, 1506 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,000 Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know that you beat them using 1507 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 1: a playbook full of halfback passes or wide receiver passes. 1508 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 1: All right, a break here, we're coming back with more. 1509 01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 1: I want to know from you. What do you think 1510 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 1: if the Bills should pull off the upset and beat 1511 01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,479 Speaker 1: the Patriots? What does that mean? What would it mean 1512 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots on Sunday? Give us a call. 1513 01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 1: Lines are open.

A couple of calls here 1527 01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:41,720 Speaker 1: Tom on the West side of Buffalo. Go ahead, time 1528 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:45,000 Speaker 1: you're on the air. Afternoon, guys, I think about the 1529 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,439 Speaker 1: Bills beating New England and New England, isn't it? What's that? 1530 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:50,560 Speaker 1: It's what about it? I wanted to think about the 1531 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,120 Speaker 1: Bills beating New England and New England. Though. It is fun. 1532 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,400 Speaker 1: It is fun. It is fun. Hey, So let's imagine this. 1533 01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:58,960 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon is out. It got a whole lot easier 1534 01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 1: for the cornerback. And if we can beat them, they 1535 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,559 Speaker 1: play the Jets next week, and the Jets always play 1536 01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:10,880 Speaker 1: them tough. So Miami can win the division. And there 1537 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,160 Speaker 1: was a scary thought because we all hate Miami. But 1538 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:18,000 Speaker 1: if Miami wins the division, does that mean New England 1539 01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: doesn't even make the playoffs? Time for Miami to win 1540 01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 1: the division, they have to beat the Bills here next week. 1541 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,560 Speaker 1: Is that what you want? Uh? No, neither, you know 1542 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:28,679 Speaker 1: it is better. I'll come the Bills beat New England 1543 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:31,360 Speaker 1: and then come home and beat Miami. Well, if Miami 1544 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,840 Speaker 1: doesn't beat the Bills, then New England can still win 1545 01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 1: the division. I know, be fun to see New England 1546 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,800 Speaker 1: lose the division can get second in the division. Now, 1547 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:41,800 Speaker 1: it'd be more fun to see the Bills beat the 1548 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 1: to It would be more fun for the Bills who've 1549 01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,759 Speaker 1: finished two and ozer on the rest of the season. 1550 01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:49,040 Speaker 1: That would be. That would be against two division opponents 1551 01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,680 Speaker 1: in New England and then at home against Miami to 1552 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,599 Speaker 1: finish the season. Yeah, that would be fun. See that's 1553 01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,080 Speaker 1: more fun time. I gotta disagree. It'd be more fun 1554 01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,519 Speaker 1: than the other that you're suggested. Yeah, there's certain I 1555 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:00,840 Speaker 1: don't have an in front of me a set of 1556 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:05,280 Speaker 1: circumstances that have to happen for Miami's game here December 1557 01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 1: thirtieth to be playoff meaningful for the for the Dolphins. 1558 01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:11,800 Speaker 1: I really hope that happens. I hope they come here 1559 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,360 Speaker 1: eight and seven with a chance to win and get in, 1560 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,840 Speaker 1: and then I hope to snap their chance. Yeah, yeah, 1561 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:18,920 Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. How would much are they 1562 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,760 Speaker 1: have that than have the Dolphins win here? And yeah, 1563 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,600 Speaker 1: I don't you know, I mean the Patriots, Let's face it, 1564 01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,879 Speaker 1: they're gonna make the playoffs, right, They're gonna make the playoffs. 1565 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:28,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna win the division. You would think, what else 1566 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:32,640 Speaker 1: the impossible happens? Right, Yeah, I mean you're looking at this. 1567 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,400 Speaker 1: If you look at the standings here, there's nine and 1568 01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,320 Speaker 1: five right now. The worst thing if they go nine 1569 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,760 Speaker 1: and seven, they may not if they lose out there's 1570 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, they'll go nine and seven. If they win 1571 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,160 Speaker 1: out there, eleven and five, Yeah, they're not only gonna 1572 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:50,080 Speaker 1: win the division, they're gonna have a home game. So yeah, So, 1573 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 1: Robin Buffalo, that's that's too many permutations for me to think. 1574 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 1: Robin Buffalo, go ahead, and Ron you're on the air. Yeah, Hey, 1575 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 1: Bluw Frice, Steve Hi, Ron, Hey, Steve, you're pro bowler. 1576 01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 1: In my book.

It was 1591 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:53,200 Speaker 1: de flake Gate and Spygate. How many did he actually 1592 01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:59,440 Speaker 1: have all together? Two? Right to flay Gate and Spygate 1593 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 1: is all I can think of off the top of 1594 01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,720 Speaker 1: my head.

Could get in a fifty four yard 1599 01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: field goal? Is that sound that sounds really good? Sounds good. 1600 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm all about it. That's great, Thanks for Bills. I 1601 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,280 Speaker 1: like your optimism around. They've scored more than twenty six 1602 01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:32,160 Speaker 1: points just twice this year, so it's not likely. That's 1603 01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:34,639 Speaker 1: all I'm saying. I don't mean to be the downer here, 1604 01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:38,479 Speaker 1: but looking I want people to be rooted in reality slightly. Anyway, 1605 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 1: you can live as the adult in the room. That's fine. 1606 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,760 Speaker 1: I just finding need joy and I just I just 1607 01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,120 Speaker 1: want people to have their feet standing down the ground 1608 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,519 Speaker 1: underneath them a little bit. Listen, I understand you gotta 1609 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,640 Speaker 1: be You've gotta have this mind whatever mindset you have 1610 01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,240 Speaker 1: to have to go in and do a game like this. 1611 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 1: As a play by play guy, I get it because 1612 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,280 Speaker 1: I you know, I worked with I'm just saying, you've 1613 01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,839 Speaker 1: got to you've got to be above all of this emotion. 1614 01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,439 Speaker 1: I am. I get emotional. I really want them to win, 1615 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:05,920 Speaker 1: but I also have to be realistic and say, wow, 1616 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 1: that would be something if they can, like Rancais scored 1617 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:10,320 Speaker 1: twenty six points, We'll shoot, they've only scored twenty six 1618 01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: or more twice this year. Right, What makes you think 1619 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:15,400 Speaker 1: they're capable of that? They average fifteen points a game. Well, 1620 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,000 Speaker 1: I think they're capable of it because they've done it twice. Yeah, 1621 01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,160 Speaker 1: yeah out of fourteen times. Call here from Gary on 1622 01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 1: a cell phone. Hello, Gary, welcome, go ahead, you're on 1623 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,720 Speaker 1: the air.

Yes, it would everybody, for everybody here 1626 01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:39,680 Speaker 1: in Western New York. Definitely. It's not if we beat 1627 01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,040 Speaker 1: them as how we beat them well, I mean, you know, 1628 01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,600 Speaker 1: the last couple of year times we beat them, they 1629 01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 1: were really trying. I'm likes able to go totally still 1630 01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 1: with them. So for next year to year after so 1631 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,960 Speaker 1: something I can thing the next year. So beat them 1632 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,000 Speaker 1: one thing, but no one that we could play with 1633 01:18:55,080 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 1: them and hopefully pass the next year. What I'm looking for? Yeah, 1634 01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,840 Speaker 1: I think I think you're right. Listen, this is a 1635 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 1: team that's depleted on offense. I mean they their offensive 1636 01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:09,200 Speaker 1: line hasn't played particularly well all year. Their wide receivers 1637 01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,120 Speaker 1: have been flushed through. They got all these new young 1638 01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 1: players who are unproven. They got a rookie quarterback. Everything's 1639 01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 1: gone wrong for him offensively, They've got a top two 1640 01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:22,880 Speaker 1: defense and a bottom two offense in overall yards. Soity 1641 01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 1: cookie over right. But here's the thing. So, having said that, 1642 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:29,600 Speaker 1: you know how much talent you've got. You got a 1643 01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: lot of speed at wide receiver, although it's unproven. You 1644 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,320 Speaker 1: got a quarterback who's all that you know he's got. 1645 01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:37,720 Speaker 1: He's kind of the atomic bomb physically. He can run, 1646 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 1: he can throw, he's got this big arm, and he's 1647 01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,639 Speaker 1: got this competitive fire that Murph and I keep referring 1648 01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,280 Speaker 1: to and Bruce arians brought up when we just had 1649 01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:48,000 Speaker 1: him on the show. Uh, there's all these possible and 1650 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,120 Speaker 1: plus it's a football game, and but it can win. 1651 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 1: You're right, it is a and to go into that 1652 01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:59,240 Speaker 1: building and win this game is not like going in 1653 01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,000 Speaker 1: there and we seventeen of another season where they've got 1654 01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 1: it all wrapped up and they're not playing. They need 1655 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 1: this game, and they are desperate to win this game. 1656 01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 1: They have dropped two in a row. They are desperate 1657 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:11,599 Speaker 1: to win this game. And if you go in there 1658 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:15,000 Speaker 1: on a circumstances like that and knock them off, there's 1659 01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,040 Speaker 1: no doubt it tells you a little bit something about 1660 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,559 Speaker 1: your own team. Absolutely, no question about it. Good point. 1661 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,760 Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. One more call here, then we'll read 1662 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,160 Speaker 1: a tweet or two. We'll go to Steve and Akron, 1663 01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 1: New York. Colo, Steve, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks 1664 01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,639 Speaker 1: for taking my call, Steve Asker, he's got my vote 1665 01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:34,200 Speaker 1: for All Up Fame. Oh the votes are rolling in now. Yeah. 1666 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,000 Speaker 1: The seasons be very I just think a lot of 1667 01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,920 Speaker 1: people talked about the season not being sealish, but what 1668 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:44,000 Speaker 1: a bigger way that Selwigh The season makes like the 1669 01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,519 Speaker 1: season really count for something, just in this one alone, 1670 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,320 Speaker 1: if we can pull it out. You know what, Steve 1671 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 1: can I disagree with you on that. I hear what 1672 01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:53,320 Speaker 1: you're saying. I think I'm not going to see regardless 1673 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,200 Speaker 1: of what happens here, because that's kind of callous. But 1674 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,519 Speaker 1: I think the Steven this season means something already, and 1675 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 1: it could mean more if they, you know, beat the 1676 01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:02,439 Speaker 1: Patriots and maybe follow it up with a win against 1677 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,640 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. But look, all along we knew what the 1678 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,360 Speaker 1: season meant. It meant breaking in a rookie quarterback. That 1679 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,639 Speaker 1: process is well underway. It's going pretty well. It's not perfect. 1680 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: But it's going pretty well. And in that regard, I 1681 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:15,519 Speaker 1: think this season has meant something. I don't think it's 1682 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:19,360 Speaker 1: a season that needs to be salvage. They decided to 1683 01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:21,439 Speaker 1: go all in with a rookie quarterback this year and 1684 01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,040 Speaker 1: to teach him how to play, and that has gone. Okay. 1685 01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,760 Speaker 1: That's that's my thought. Your thoughts, mister tasker? What do 1686 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,559 Speaker 1: you think if you start winning game? You went out 1687 01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:33,599 Speaker 1: and you beat New England and you beat Miami, You're 1688 01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:35,680 Speaker 1: gonna look back in this season and tell yourself his 1689 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 1: missed opportunity? What what do you mean? You got to 1690 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:43,599 Speaker 1: think the Jet the second Jet game was a game 1691 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:48,040 Speaker 1: that was there for the taking. The Miami game in 1692 01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:51,240 Speaker 1: Miami was there for the taking. You almost one play 1693 01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,240 Speaker 1: at one catch away from winning that game. You take 1694 01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 1: those two games along with the next two, I mean, 1695 01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: it's a five game swing. You all of a sudden, 1696 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,000 Speaker 1: you're in the conversation, would have been a playoff team. 1697 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,240 Speaker 1: And that's a missed opportunity. You can't go back and 1698 01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,639 Speaker 1: do that. They lost. That's what I do. For a reason. 1699 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: I start to regret that regret. I hate the fact 1700 01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,400 Speaker 1: that they lost to the Jets. A couple of weeks ago. 1701 01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,439 Speaker 1: That made me sick to my stomach. It should have 1702 01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,680 Speaker 1: been happened, It should have been and they shouldn't be. 1703 01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 1: And then and so we're talking about all these I mean, 1704 01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:22,240 Speaker 1: we're we're way down the rabbit hole now. So as 1705 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:26,080 Speaker 1: well you took us there. You're talking about games if 1706 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,200 Speaker 1: they win this game, and listen, and I get it, 1707 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 1: they weren't. They weren't good enough to win those games 1708 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,439 Speaker 1: where they would have. Um, they were a hair's breadth 1709 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,479 Speaker 1: away from beating Miami on the road down there with 1710 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 1: that that drop pass at the very last play counts. 1711 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:43,120 Speaker 1: Think about this though, how much progress it would it 1712 01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 1: would signal if they were to finish out with a 1713 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:51,120 Speaker 1: couple of wins here, Um, there's no doubt the Josh, 1714 01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:52,800 Speaker 1: because let me tell you something, if it happened to Josh, 1715 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:56,720 Speaker 1: Allen's gonna have to play lights out, lights out, and 1716 01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:02,040 Speaker 1: if he does, he's the Collins right, Steve's right, what 1717 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 1: better way to kick you know? In this season? And 1718 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:09,120 Speaker 1: it almost, I mean it almost, you almost wish the 1719 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,559 Speaker 1: season would keep going and going and going as fast 1720 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,280 Speaker 1: as this team's improving. And I think there's a lot 1721 01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 1: of reasons for it. And I mean, this is all 1722 01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,960 Speaker 1: it's all hypothetical, but I think even now, if they're 1723 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,720 Speaker 1: competitive in these last two games and they end like 1724 01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: the Dolphins game end where you had a chance to 1725 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,160 Speaker 1: win it and he just didn't, you're going into this 1726 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 1: offseason and you're thinking, man, the moves they made to 1727 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,800 Speaker 1: get faster on the perimeter were absolutely needed to be made. 1728 01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:37,599 Speaker 1: They saw it and they did it. They didn't wait. 1729 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:39,640 Speaker 1: This is a front office and a coaching staff that 1730 01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:42,479 Speaker 1: is making changes during the season and they don't hold back. 1731 01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,080 Speaker 1: And I love that about this. I love the Brian 1732 01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 1: day Ball was creative enough to start using those guys 1733 01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,080 Speaker 1: and get some speed on the field, putting Josh all 1734 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,679 Speaker 1: in a position to throw the football, getting Robert Foster 1735 01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 1: involved right away, change the offense to go down the 1736 01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:59,720 Speaker 1: field for a young quarterback with a big arm. You 1737 01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,400 Speaker 1: got Josh Allen who's doing things that even the most 1738 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:06,719 Speaker 1: casual fan can see. He's doing better from week to week. 1739 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,000 Speaker 1: You got young players like Keith Ford who came in 1740 01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 1: stepped up. So it shows that the team has guys 1741 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:16,800 Speaker 1: behind guys. The depth is there. They are on it 1742 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 1: at the bottom of their roster. On so many different levels, 1743 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:22,080 Speaker 1: both at the top we're at the quarterback and at 1744 01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:23,840 Speaker 1: the bottom of the roster. You got guys ready to 1745 01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:25,960 Speaker 1: step in, hungry to step in, and then to put 1746 01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:27,960 Speaker 1: that into the and head it into the offseason. With 1747 01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:30,160 Speaker 1: all that going for you, you think, Man, I cannot wait, 1748 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,599 Speaker 1: I cannot wait. We are headed in the right direction. 1749 01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:36,360 Speaker 1: I think people feel that way regardless of what happens 1750 01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,760 Speaker 1: these final two games. I really do. I think so. 1751 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,320 Speaker 1: And these two games could be great and could help 1752 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,640 Speaker 1: along and push that along, but I think there's a 1753 01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:45,679 Speaker 1: pretty good sense that they're heading in the right direction. 1754 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,600 Speaker 1: Beating the Patriots would be huge, pushing that along, and 1755 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,320 Speaker 1: beating the Dolphins more so. Yeah, we were laughing at 1756 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:58,400 Speaker 1: ourselves mostly and after the Chicago game and the Indianapolis 1757 01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,800 Speaker 1: game and how we were the Nader. Yeah, of you know, 1758 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,200 Speaker 1: they're trying to tear it down, and they were probably 1759 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 1: we did all right now, Josh is her. We don't 1760 01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,000 Speaker 1: know how we now. Our quarterbacks are all her as 1761 01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:11,040 Speaker 1: our fourth quarterback. The guy's been here eleven days, headed 1762 01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:13,519 Speaker 1: into the Jet game, and I think after the Jet game, 1763 01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,439 Speaker 1: when Barkley got the win and the team rallied and 1764 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,519 Speaker 1: then Joshua came back in all of a sudden, We're we. 1765 01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:22,760 Speaker 1: From that moment on, the trajectory has been nothing but up. Yep, 1766 01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,880 Speaker 1: win or lose. The trajectory has been up, and it's 1767 01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,360 Speaker 1: been fun. It's been fun to be there for you. Hey. 1768 01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,120 Speaker 1: The Bills. A couple of Bills players have been recognized 1769 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus, the analytics guys who do all 1770 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:37,760 Speaker 1: the grading PF, including Jerry Hughes, who has had a 1771 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,120 Speaker 1: pretty They doesn't have a ton of sacks, but he's 1772 01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,880 Speaker 1: had a pretty consistent year in terms of pass for US. 1773 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,599 Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes with six sacks. He's a half sack behind 1774 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,680 Speaker 1: the Renzo Alexander for the team league, but in the 1775 01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 1: fourth quarter he's been an outstanding the pressure guys. Yeah. 1776 01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:54,519 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus put this this stat out by edge rushers. Now, 1777 01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,280 Speaker 1: this doesn't include defensive tackles like Aaron Donald and Domickin 1778 01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,599 Speaker 1: Sue and guys like that, but it does include all 1779 01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,640 Speaker 1: the edge rushers and you can see the list for 1780 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,160 Speaker 1: those of watching on MSG. Jerry Hughes leads the NFL 1781 01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:10,080 Speaker 1: with twenty four fourth quarter pressures. That means getting to 1782 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback and forcing the issue at quarterback. He leads 1783 01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:20,280 Speaker 1: the NFL ahead of Graham and Long in Philadelphia, Miles 1784 01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: Garrett in Cleveland, J J. Watt, Cameron Jordan Jerry Hughes 1785 01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,160 Speaker 1: tops the NFL in fourth quarter pressures on the quarterback, 1786 01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,839 Speaker 1: and good for him. I mean, it hasn't translated into Saxon. 1787 01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,439 Speaker 1: We've been talking all week about this defense, how good 1788 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 1: it's been, but it hasn't been spectacular. It hasn't been 1789 01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:40,000 Speaker 1: the turnover machine that it was a year ago. You 1790 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,080 Speaker 1: don't have guys forcing as many fumbles as you did 1791 01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:46,240 Speaker 1: a year ago. But they are actually statistically better and 1792 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:50,120 Speaker 1: that's uh. In this season, they're stally better than they 1793 01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,680 Speaker 1: were a year ago, way better than they were a 1794 01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:56,800 Speaker 1: year ago. And that's that says a lot about this 1795 01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 1: I think the steady pressure they're able to bring to 1796 01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:01,959 Speaker 1: teams and how big a headache they are for offenses 1797 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,960 Speaker 1: Bills on the last two games without a sack. That's 1798 01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,080 Speaker 1: not good. And it's into the number two defense in 1799 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:08,920 Speaker 1: the league and they haven't get a sack in two games. 1800 01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:11,519 Speaker 1: It's amazing. I don't know how that goes. Hey. Pro 1801 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:14,760 Speaker 1: Football Focus also every week names it's a team of 1802 01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:16,559 Speaker 1: the week kind of an All Star team and last 1803 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:18,519 Speaker 1: week on the Team of the Week, the Bills got 1804 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,040 Speaker 1: Jack Lawson on that team. He had a good, solid game. 1805 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,240 Speaker 1: He was the edge rush guy on the Pro Football 1806 01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 1: Focus Team of the Week with the grade of eighty 1807 01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:30,160 Speaker 1: nine point five, fourth highest grade assigned by Pro Football Focus. 1808 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:32,280 Speaker 1: Take it for what it's worth. Some people don't like 1809 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:34,720 Speaker 1: those grades, but I bet Shack Lawson and Jerry Hughes 1810 01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:36,479 Speaker 1: do this week. Oh yeah, and he also had he 1811 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:38,799 Speaker 1: remember that the play made last week was the batted 1812 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:40,800 Speaker 1: down pass right in the face of Stafford. Staffer was 1813 01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,719 Speaker 1: gonna dump it off on a screenplay behind me, knocked 1814 01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:44,320 Speaker 1: it right back at him. It was a great play, 1815 01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:49,320 Speaker 1: and Shack Lawson is I gotta say he's playing his 1816 01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:51,759 Speaker 1: best football of his career as a pro. Next question 1817 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:54,000 Speaker 1: a break here. We're coming back in a moment or two. 1818 01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 1: And when we do come back, eventually, we're gonna have 1819 01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 1: Derek Anderson in studio with US Bills third string quarterback 1820 01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 1: now healthy again.

Got a real kind of a realistic view 1838 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:05,960 Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots. He's not one of those 1839 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,920 Speaker 1: typical mass guys who thinks everything they do is great. Um. 1840 01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 1: We talked a lot about Pro Bowl this week. The 1841 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,040 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl names came out on Tuesday. One of the 1842 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,400 Speaker 1: names first time ever Steelers running back James Connor, and 1843 01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:21,519 Speaker 1: he had a really interesting take. This is something and 1844 01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:23,559 Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people this is James 1845 01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:25,720 Speaker 1: Conner is the guy who took over for Levion Bell 1846 01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:27,559 Speaker 1: and his hold out, and he was a former cancer 1847 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:29,559 Speaker 1: patients three years ago. And this will give you an idea. 1848 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,880 Speaker 1: I think even Bills fans will appreciate friendships. The gob 1849 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:36,000 Speaker 1: Bills fan, they'll go that'll goes beyond the lines of 1850 01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 1: the field. And this is a text that James Connor 1851 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:43,360 Speaker 1: got from Aaron Donald. Yeah, Aaron Donald in the Los 1852 01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:46,760 Speaker 1: Angeles Ram's the best pass rusher in the league.

Went went into that decision? 1977 01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:12,760 Speaker 1: Just things cleared up and been good, been able to 1978 01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:14,640 Speaker 1: go out to practice for the last few weeks, but 1979 01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,720 Speaker 1: finally pass my tests and saw the doctors and yeah, 1980 01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,639 Speaker 1: have you been in the quarterback meeting room though constantly? 1981 01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:26,080 Speaker 1: And we've got started getting a little inklings of you know, 1982 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:28,000 Speaker 1: the effect you've had on Josh. Josh has said he's 1983 01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,240 Speaker 1: appreciated your presence in the locker room. Matt Barkley has 1984 01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,000 Speaker 1: added something to the room as well. We'll tell us 1985 01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,080 Speaker 1: about the room and what it's like now. Is you know, 1986 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,439 Speaker 1: Josh is obviously the guy going forward, and you guys 1987 01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:39,760 Speaker 1: are there to help him win. It's been good. You know, 1988 01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:44,479 Speaker 1: obviously my situation was my situation, but you know, obviously 1989 01:36:44,520 --> 01:36:47,639 Speaker 1: been in the meeting rooms helping Josh and Matt both 1990 01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:51,320 Speaker 1: as much as we can. We have an entertaining room. 1991 01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:52,960 Speaker 1: We're you know, a lot of growth, a lot of 1992 01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,519 Speaker 1: good times, uh, you know, trying to just get better 1993 01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:58,679 Speaker 1: every single day. Who provides the entertainment. Who's the funniest 1994 01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,760 Speaker 1: man in day ball everyone in a while? Yeah, don't 1995 01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:06,200 Speaker 1: don't give him too much credit. But we're working in 1996 01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:08,640 Speaker 1: there though. It's interesting too, because the quarterback room is 1997 01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:11,400 Speaker 1: usually the smallest group. You know, it's three of you 1998 01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:13,479 Speaker 1: in the in the coach or like wide receiversy got 1999 01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:16,040 Speaker 1: nineteen guys in their offensive line and nobody even fits 2000 01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:18,320 Speaker 1: in the room and still gra right, So it's you 2001 01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:22,120 Speaker 1: guys It's a different dynamic in that room, isn't it. 2002 01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:24,479 Speaker 1: We need to entertain ourselves sometimes when we get a 2003 01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:27,040 Speaker 1: little bit of bricks, right. But we got a lot 2004 01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:29,080 Speaker 1: of good storytellers, a lot of good stories come up, 2005 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 1: good memories, bad memories, funny things all the time. But 2006 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:37,120 Speaker 1: it's been good. It's definitely been good. Josh has been growing, 2007 01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:41,200 Speaker 1: u learning and asking lots of questions and obviously it's 2008 01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:42,840 Speaker 1: shown in his player in the last month or so, 2009 01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:46,759 Speaker 1: York Anderson, Bill's backup quarterback in suody with us. Forgive 2010 01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:48,600 Speaker 1: us if we ask a few questions about Josh here, 2011 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,519 Speaker 1: You're okay with that, right? How How is he different 2012 01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:53,800 Speaker 1: now than he was when you first got here, you know, 2013 01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:55,880 Speaker 1: earlier on this season. Has he grown since then? Do 2014 01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:59,680 Speaker 1: you think? For sure? I think it's just comfortable, you know, 2015 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:04,080 Speaker 1: being comfortable within the offense, seeing different things, you know, 2016 01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:06,360 Speaker 1: seeing different defenses going out, and you know, knowing what 2017 01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:08,280 Speaker 1: we're trying to do, having a better understanding of what 2018 01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:11,439 Speaker 1: we're trying to do. And I think it's his command 2019 01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,639 Speaker 1: of the huddle at the line of scrimmage and improves 2020 01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:16,439 Speaker 1: every single day. We had Bruce Arians on the show 2021 01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, about an hour ago, and I 2022 01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:20,360 Speaker 1: mentioned to him, how I mean, it's it's a little 2023 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:22,599 Speaker 1: thing and it's not a revolutionary, but even that formative 2024 01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:25,519 Speaker 1: offense that that Josh ran last week against Detroy, that 2025 01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:27,360 Speaker 1: impressed me. I don't think he'd ever done that or 2026 01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:28,880 Speaker 1: been asked to do that before, but he got it 2027 01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:32,240 Speaker 1: done yes last week in a pretty impressive fashion. I thought, yeah, 2028 01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:34,720 Speaker 1: you know, crewmade a heck of a grab on that, 2029 01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,880 Speaker 1: and I was, you know, a huge thing for us there. 2030 01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:40,760 Speaker 1: I think it's, you know, winning is something that you'll 2031 01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:43,200 Speaker 1: learn how to do it. You know, it breeds itself. 2032 01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:45,200 Speaker 1: You keep doing it, and you guys kind of get 2033 01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:47,439 Speaker 1: used to it and finishing out a game like that 2034 01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:49,599 Speaker 1: with the ball in our hands is that's a big thing. 2035 01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:53,120 Speaker 1: He talked about Josh getting more understanding of what you're 2036 01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,479 Speaker 1: trying to do against certain defenses, and I think that's 2037 01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:57,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of still where he's at right. I mean, 2038 01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:01,000 Speaker 1: it's at some point he's gonna grasp your offense, what 2039 01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:03,040 Speaker 1: you're doing, why you're calling these plays here and there, 2040 01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 1: and then how quickly can it turn it? I know 2041 01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:08,559 Speaker 1: it does it incrementally. Both. I mean, it's not one 2042 01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:11,920 Speaker 1: or the other. But he's got to start understanding defenses 2043 01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:13,960 Speaker 1: as well. And I know that first time around in 2044 01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,439 Speaker 1: the NFL, it's like it looks like they're playing something else, 2045 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:21,800 Speaker 1: not football, right, It's confusing, and I think he's done 2046 01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:23,360 Speaker 1: a good job of that. You know. There there was 2047 01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:26,439 Speaker 1: a you know, a couple of weeks ago we played 2048 01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:28,720 Speaker 1: two or three weeks. I remember they were Miami there. Yeah, 2049 01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:31,120 Speaker 1: they were trying to disguise the Jets a little bit, 2050 01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 1: playing like cover two, just different forms of it. But 2051 01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:34,920 Speaker 1: I thought during the game he did a great job 2052 01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:37,919 Speaker 1: of just seeing the safeties and it could be confusing 2053 01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:39,519 Speaker 1: if you kind of let it get confusing, but he 2054 01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:41,800 Speaker 1: did a good job studying during the week and we 2055 01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,080 Speaker 1: didn't have any issues with it when we're out there. 2056 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:47,040 Speaker 1: This last game, it seemed to me that Detroit Lions 2057 01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:50,679 Speaker 1: had this plan against Josh where they didn't rush past, 2058 01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:52,640 Speaker 1: they didn't send their edge rushers. They were going to 2059 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,240 Speaker 1: let him stand back there. Yeah. That was I mean, 2060 01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:57,920 Speaker 1: that was something that just watching tape and they've had 2061 01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:02,120 Speaker 1: done previously to other guys, and we were maybe they 2062 01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:04,200 Speaker 1: do it, maybe they don't. You know. Obviously, his ability 2063 01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:07,760 Speaker 1: to run is scaring some people right now, and they 2064 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:10,599 Speaker 1: weren't gonna let him beat us or let him beat 2065 01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 1: them with his feet. And uh, but I thought he 2066 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:15,160 Speaker 1: did good, you know, made some good decisions through the 2067 01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:19,200 Speaker 1: ball well way when he needed to. Um, you know, 2068 01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:21,720 Speaker 1: I ultimately got to win stats, you know whatever, but 2069 01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:23,880 Speaker 1: we got to win. Hey, Derek, just a couple more 2070 01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,680 Speaker 1: questions about Josh. I feel guilty of asking all these, 2071 01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:30,040 Speaker 1: are you sure? Yeah, I'm the two part question. In 2072 01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:31,840 Speaker 1: the course of a game, what kind of questions? What 2073 01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:34,120 Speaker 1: kind of dialogue do you have with josh Allen during 2074 01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:36,519 Speaker 1: the game. It's been good, you know, it's kind of 2075 01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:39,519 Speaker 1: it's really it's me, Matt and Davis and Joshu. You know, 2076 01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:41,240 Speaker 1: we'll look at the pictures and he'll asked me, Hey, 2077 01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,120 Speaker 1: would you see them? And you know, if there's certain 2078 01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:45,040 Speaker 1: things and I'm kind of going through them. I Hey, dude, look, 2079 01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:47,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to you know, disguise this or they're showing 2080 01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,360 Speaker 1: you this. You know, for instance, like they were showing 2081 01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 1: a quarters look last week, just brought the nickel out 2082 01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:54,120 Speaker 1: of nowhere and just you know, like little subtlewor miners. Hey, dude, 2083 01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:56,120 Speaker 1: last time they showed you the quarters that Nickel fires 2084 01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:59,560 Speaker 1: like just awareness, cool, cool, cool, Like, you know, just 2085 01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:01,200 Speaker 1: a little things and they're not trying not to get 2086 01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:04,320 Speaker 1: in the way of what he's doing and getting too 2087 01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:07,599 Speaker 1: much information because he's an incredible athlete, and just little 2088 01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,240 Speaker 1: things like little you know, I try to see they 2089 01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,479 Speaker 1: matching a guy, they rolling a guy.

Yeah, I saw it. But just 2092 01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:18,040 Speaker 1: things about you know, back and forth. Now part two 2093 01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,280 Speaker 1: of the question. During the course of the week, what's 2094 01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:22,519 Speaker 1: your dialogue like and how is it different than in 2095 01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:25,800 Speaker 1: the course of the game. Um, it's kind of about 2096 01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:27,840 Speaker 1: the same. You know. Obviously, we go through and we 2097 01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, watch everything together and then we have our 2098 01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:32,880 Speaker 1: after practice we watch you know, the day ahead of 2099 01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:36,639 Speaker 1: what we're doing.

I 2122 01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,640 Speaker 1: mean I love the game of football, and obviously the 2123 01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:38,559 Speaker 1: situation we have here with you know, we, like I said, 2124 01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:40,960 Speaker 1: we have a great quarterback room, a lot of you know, 2125 01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,680 Speaker 1: familiarity with other coaches here. Um, I've really enjoyed it, 2126 01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, the city, the fans, everything here has been good. 2127 01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:49,800 Speaker 1: My family has been out a couple of times and 2128 01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:52,320 Speaker 1: my wife really likes it. So we just have some 2129 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:54,479 Speaker 1: couple of things to moll over and kind of see 2130 01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:55,960 Speaker 1: what we're gonna doing. I got three young ones, so 2131 01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:58,479 Speaker 1: that kind of comes into play too. How old is 2132 01:42:58,479 --> 01:43:01,400 Speaker 1: your oldest? Four? So it should be five in August. 2133 01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll tell you this, it's the true story 2134 01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:05,879 Speaker 1: an old coach who is here. And you know, Buffalo 2135 01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:10,080 Speaker 1: has a certain reputation if it's obvious, right, So he said, 2136 01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,880 Speaker 1: my wife cried twice about Buffalo. She cried when we 2137 01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:15,479 Speaker 1: knew we were going to come there because she didn't, 2138 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,040 Speaker 1: and she cried when they left. Right When people come here, 2139 01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:20,680 Speaker 1: if you're the right kind of person, people really love 2140 01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:23,080 Speaker 1: it here, right Like I'm a perfect victim of that. 2141 01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:24,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I've been here thirty two years. I got 2142 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:28,479 Speaker 1: it picked up in overnight. So your family's finding it. Yeah, 2143 01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:30,519 Speaker 1: you're liking it, and plus you're liking the building, which 2144 01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:32,200 Speaker 1: is even more important. Yeah, it's good. We got a 2145 01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,519 Speaker 1: bunch of good, good guys here, good coaches. Um guys 2146 01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,280 Speaker 1: would like to work. And I can see this is 2147 01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:40,240 Speaker 1: going in the right direction. And that's the way. I 2148 01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:41,720 Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing. And if I can be 2149 01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,360 Speaker 1: a part of that and help that, then I'm into that. 2150 01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:47,680 Speaker 1: Um and then the buffalo part. My family is here 2151 01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,080 Speaker 1: and it's snowed whatever seven inches last week. I'm like, 2152 01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:52,320 Speaker 1: saw my wife.

They all melted except for the base on 2159 01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:14,080 Speaker 1: the Mama, where's your family out in Oregon? In Arizona? Arizona? Okay, 2160 01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:17,040 Speaker 1: you have been as as a player in the league 2161 01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:19,200 Speaker 1: for the last what seven or eight years? You've been 2162 01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,160 Speaker 1: in this role as a backup pretty much. Do you 2163 01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:22,920 Speaker 1: like it? I mean, do you wish you'd played more 2164 01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:25,040 Speaker 1: over the last several years or what? Do you? Um? 2165 01:44:25,720 --> 01:44:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. I had a lot 2166 01:44:27,040 --> 01:44:29,040 Speaker 1: of fun those two games that I played, other than 2167 01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:32,600 Speaker 1: the end result. Yeah, getting out there and playing. Like 2168 01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:35,120 Speaker 1: I said, it's the group that we have is good 2169 01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,280 Speaker 1: and it's fun to be out there. It's fun, you know, 2170 01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:40,160 Speaker 1: the communication, the competition like that. A whole part of 2171 01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:42,640 Speaker 1: it was a blast. Teaming Obviously, I haven't got to 2172 01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:45,320 Speaker 1: play a lot in the past seven year, eight years now, 2173 01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,280 Speaker 1: but you know, kind of just kind of you know, 2174 01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:51,800 Speaker 1: re energized me a little bit and uh, very very 2175 01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:53,760 Speaker 1: lucky to be here. You backed up Cam Newton in 2176 01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:56,360 Speaker 1: Carolina for much of that seven or eight years. People 2177 01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:58,479 Speaker 1: want to compare Josh to Cam Newton. Do you see that? 2178 01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:03,759 Speaker 1: Is that accurate? Um? They both have Yeah, their ability 2179 01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:05,840 Speaker 1: to run. Yes, Josh, I'm not gonna lie to you 2180 01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:10,400 Speaker 1: surprised me with his speed. Like I knew he's like 2181 01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:13,240 Speaker 1: very mobile, he can move around, but like he sometimes 2182 01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:16,400 Speaker 1: runs him like he's faster than Cam. Like, yeah, I 2183 01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:18,000 Speaker 1: don't know like he is or he isn't, but like 2184 01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:22,719 Speaker 1: he he's fast, you know Cam. Obviously they're very similar. 2185 01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:24,479 Speaker 1: Josh threw the ball a lot more, I think than 2186 01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:28,160 Speaker 1: Cam did in college. He was pretty much a running back. Um, 2187 01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:32,640 Speaker 1: I mean I say that, but h Cambell still love 2188 01:45:32,680 --> 01:45:34,479 Speaker 1: you if you say that. Yeah, So, I mean, very 2189 01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:38,000 Speaker 1: very similar. But they're kind of growth patterns this time 2190 01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: and their careers are, I would say a little bit different. Yeah, 2191 01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,519 Speaker 1: what do you see now? We got this Patriot Week here. 2192 01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew that we have a 2193 01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:48,560 Speaker 1: Patriot Week here. It's not like just another game for 2194 01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:52,760 Speaker 1: the fans. They hate him, Murph hates him in particular. 2195 01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:59,840 Speaker 1: What's a yes? And what our question? Today? This game 2196 01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:04,200 Speaker 1: is quite a carrot for a lot of people. If 2197 01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:08,040 Speaker 1: this team with the young receivers and unproven offensive line, 2198 01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:10,719 Speaker 1: and you know, Rookie, you walk in there with Josh 2199 01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,160 Speaker 1: and knock these guys off, you know, the lid's gonna 2200 01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:15,800 Speaker 1: come off this town. I mean, you're gonna have people 2201 01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:19,120 Speaker 1: at the airport greeting and when you get back. I 2202 01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:22,120 Speaker 1: figured that out, fortunately I played the last one. I 2203 01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:25,280 Speaker 1: figured that out about Thursday of that game, just kind 2204 01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:27,479 Speaker 1: of being around talent. I was like, you could feel 2205 01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:29,439 Speaker 1: like this is a little bit different. I kind of 2206 01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:30,720 Speaker 1: got it, and I was like, I was like, I 2207 01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:32,760 Speaker 1: really would love to win this game right now just 2208 01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:35,840 Speaker 1: to kind of see this place blow up. But you know, 2209 01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:37,960 Speaker 1: they're a good football team, and I know, you know, 2210 01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:40,360 Speaker 1: they've pretty much dominated our division for a long time, 2211 01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:44,320 Speaker 1: and eventually it's gonna swing and you know, a game 2212 01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:46,439 Speaker 1: like this is a big momentum thing for our team, 2213 01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:49,559 Speaker 1: our organization going forward. When going there and play well 2214 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:52,280 Speaker 1: and give ourselves a chance, we'll see what happens. Enlightening 2215 01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:55,080 Speaker 1: our listeners about the mindset of the play because for 2216 01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:58,640 Speaker 1: fans and guys like us too, it's kind of a 2217 01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:01,000 Speaker 1: yardstick for us. They know that team is going to 2218 01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:02,960 Speaker 1: be good, They're gonna be there at the end. Is 2219 01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:05,080 Speaker 1: there a sense that not only going to go in 2220 01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:07,479 Speaker 1: there and believe we can win, but we're gonna show 2221 01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:10,080 Speaker 1: them you know how? You know our yardstick is is 2222 01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:12,760 Speaker 1: different than the fans yard stick. What's the mentality the 2223 01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:14,720 Speaker 1: players and what this game means to them about their 2224 01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:18,880 Speaker 1: own you know if individual careers, let alone the team, 2225 01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:20,599 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean I think 2226 01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:24,240 Speaker 1: obviously everybody knows Patriots of the Patriots, everybody wants to 2227 01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:26,040 Speaker 1: beat them every time you play them. I don't think 2228 01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:29,560 Speaker 1: it matters what team you're on. But for us, like 2229 01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:31,760 Speaker 1: kind of the biggest thing is let's just take care 2230 01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:33,679 Speaker 1: of what we do. And I think that's what we've 2231 01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:36,240 Speaker 1: done a good job to last four or five weeks. 2232 01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:38,960 Speaker 1: Is you know, we've worried about us react to what 2233 01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:41,840 Speaker 1: they're doing. Don't kind of overblow it into anybody. You know, 2234 01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:44,160 Speaker 1: it is the Patriots. I know that they've won a 2235 01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:46,439 Speaker 1: bunch of championships on that, but like, let's focus on 2236 01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:48,559 Speaker 1: us and then see if we can get better every 2237 01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:51,000 Speaker 1: single week and this is just another opportunity for us. Derek, 2238 01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:53,040 Speaker 1: last question I have for you. It goes back Steve 2239 01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,400 Speaker 1: asked you about your future plans. You said something about 2240 01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:57,720 Speaker 1: how you like the direction this team is headed. What 2241 01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:00,080 Speaker 1: do you see? What do you like? And we're do 2242 01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:01,519 Speaker 1: you think the team is headed? What do you see 2243 01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:04,680 Speaker 1: a lot of young guys that are hungry. We got 2244 01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:07,200 Speaker 1: a lot of I mean more young guys than probably 2245 01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:09,599 Speaker 1: any team that I've ever been on, but a lot 2246 01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:11,160 Speaker 1: of guys that are willing to work, a lot of 2247 01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:13,040 Speaker 1: guys that come in every day ask like, you know 2248 01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,080 Speaker 1: a lot of questions, a lot of good questions. Have 2249 01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:17,880 Speaker 1: gone out on the practice field, and you know, their 2250 01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:20,040 Speaker 1: busted their butt all week and they've gone out and 2251 01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:22,640 Speaker 1: then we've seen the results, and that's they kind of 2252 01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:24,559 Speaker 1: keep doing that over and over and over. You're gonna 2253 01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:26,680 Speaker 1: more wins are gonna come. Yeah, one of the things 2254 01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:28,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about, too, is the way 2255 01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:31,639 Speaker 1: this coaching staff has handled the youth. They made a big, 2256 01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:34,599 Speaker 1: concerted effort to get more speed on the outside. They 2257 01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:38,400 Speaker 1: kind of cleared the decks with Kelvin and Andre and 2258 01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:43,680 Speaker 1: they listen, it's these guys are nobody right. So to me, 2259 01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:46,599 Speaker 1: that's kind of a dynamic move by a coaching staff 2260 01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:48,640 Speaker 1: in a front office say listen, we're gonna we need 2261 01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,560 Speaker 1: some speed on the field. We're doing it. What's that 2262 01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:53,519 Speaker 1: say about this coaching staff and what are your thoughts 2263 01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:56,439 Speaker 1: about a team that's willing to do that. I mean, 2264 01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:58,200 Speaker 1: I think it was good at the at the point. 2265 01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:00,559 Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's always hard to see you guys 2266 01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:03,560 Speaker 1: go um. But the point we did it, it was 2267 01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:05,599 Speaker 1: it was a gutsy move. I'm not gonna lie um 2268 01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:09,080 Speaker 1: put guys out there that haven't really proven themselves. You know. 2269 01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:11,360 Speaker 1: Robert when I first got here was we had just 2270 01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:13,080 Speaker 1: cut him and put him on the practice squad. And 2271 01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:15,400 Speaker 1: he's done. I can't say enough about what he's done. 2272 01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,479 Speaker 1: He's done a heck of a job. He's you know, learning, 2273 01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:21,360 Speaker 1: he's asking good questions, he's you know, he did a 2274 01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:22,960 Speaker 1: lot of good things out there on the field today 2275 01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:24,760 Speaker 1: at practice. You can just see the growth with him. 2276 01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:27,720 Speaker 1: It's just crazy to me that he couldn't get on 2277 01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:31,120 Speaker 1: the field at Alabama. Right. He's one of the fastest 2278 01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:33,479 Speaker 1: guys in the NFL. I'm like, and he can catch 2279 01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:36,360 Speaker 1: and so the development of all those guys amazing. What 2280 01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:38,360 Speaker 1: goes into it aside from just being able to run 2281 01:49:38,439 --> 01:49:43,080 Speaker 1: fast right right, I mean seeing seeing the defense adjustments. 2282 01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:46,519 Speaker 1: He's all the young guys have done good and that's 2283 01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:49,240 Speaker 1: what I think is so promising for us.

What are you doing in the course of 2297 01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:38,160 Speaker 1: a game? I thought he was very straightforward and good 2298 01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:40,280 Speaker 1: at answering those questions.

I 2306 01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:06,400 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be interesting to see if it's that good, 2307 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:09,200 Speaker 1: how hard the bills work at keeping it exactly the 2308 01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:11,880 Speaker 1: way it is. Do confess to feeling a little funny 2309 01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:14,759 Speaker 1: about bringing Derek in and just asked him about a teammate. 2310 01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:16,840 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. People used to bring you 2311 01:51:16,840 --> 01:51:19,519 Speaker 1: into interviews and say, tell me about Andrea. What's Andrea 2312 01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:23,479 Speaker 1: really like?

And look, we're not setting up 2318 01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:41,760 Speaker 1: people for to be disappointed on Sunday. But if if 2319 01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:44,320 Speaker 1: and it's a big if, it's a thirteen and a 2320 01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:46,880 Speaker 1: half point, if if the bill should knock off the 2321 01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:49,160 Speaker 1: Patriots on Sunday, what does that mean to the bills? 2322 01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:51,840 Speaker 1: What does it mean for this year and the way 2323 01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:54,640 Speaker 1: you view this year?

Kevin, what would it mean to beat 2329 01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:09,599 Speaker 1: the Patriots in New England Sunday? What do you think? Um? 2330 01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:11,840 Speaker 1: How are you doing? I think it would be as 2331 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:15,759 Speaker 1: big as when we beat Miami in nineteen eighty Oh wow? 2332 01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:20,360 Speaker 1: On the gold also think even has nothingy're doing? The bills? 2333 01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:23,599 Speaker 1: And when Cowboys in the ead im one in fifteen 2334 01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:26,400 Speaker 1: and their only win was against them the Redskins in 2335 01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:29,400 Speaker 1: Washington in front of the hated Hog and the Redskins 2336 01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:32,280 Speaker 1: are sort of their New England Patriots. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2337 01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:33,960 Speaker 1: it's the rivalry, right, That's why it would mean a 2338 01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,240 Speaker 1: lot to beat New England, I think, right, Steven Yeah, 2339 01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:38,800 Speaker 1: Kens talking about it and it's been a long time, 2340 01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:42,439 Speaker 1: and he's right. There was a big celebration when it 2341 01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:48,640 Speaker 1: finally happened for um for Buffalo against Miami, and that 2342 01:52:48,840 --> 01:52:50,720 Speaker 1: was Yeah, it could. It would be a little bit 2343 01:52:50,760 --> 01:52:52,599 Speaker 1: like that, except it's gonna be on the road if 2344 01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:54,920 Speaker 1: it happens, Yeah, that would be That would be the difference. 2345 01:52:55,160 --> 01:52:57,120 Speaker 1: On the tweet sheet, we asked this question, what would 2346 01:52:57,120 --> 01:52:59,599 Speaker 1: it mean to beat the Patriots in New England on Sunday? 2347 01:52:59,720 --> 01:53:03,880 Speaker 1: Lead tweets in. A win on Sunday would be absolutely astounding. 2348 01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:06,720 Speaker 1: A win against Brady and his prime would have meant more. 2349 01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:10,160 Speaker 1: The three teams in our division did absolutely nothing to 2350 01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,840 Speaker 1: combat the Brady Belichick combo for the last fifteen years. 2351 01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:16,439 Speaker 1: But remember we're playing Brady at the end of his career. 2352 01:53:16,600 --> 01:53:18,479 Speaker 1: Lee trying to suck some of the oxygen out of 2353 01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:21,400 Speaker 1: the room, trying to burst the bubble. We're playing Brady 2354 01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:23,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the career. Of his career. It 2355 01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:24,800 Speaker 1: would have been better to beat him in his prime. Sure, 2356 01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:26,519 Speaker 1: it would have been better to beat him anytime he's 2357 01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:29,639 Speaker 1: twenty nine and three against the Bills. Yeah. And then 2358 01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:32,160 Speaker 1: also on the tweet sheet, Ron Lemon chimes in, does 2359 01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:33,880 Speaker 1: a Bills win mean that Bills are headed in the 2360 01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:36,040 Speaker 1: right direction or that the Patriots are headed in the 2361 01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:39,320 Speaker 1: wrong direction? That's really what the question is, and I'm 2362 01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:42,160 Speaker 1: not sure this game on Sunday can answer that definitively. 2363 01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:44,280 Speaker 1: That's another adult in the room. We don't I agree. 2364 01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:46,679 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking no, No, I'm just thinking I wish 2365 01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:49,120 Speaker 1: we would have had that as our twitter pole question. 2366 01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:51,680 Speaker 1: Should that's a good question. Does it mean if the 2367 01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:53,599 Speaker 1: Bills win, does that mean Buffalo's headed in the right 2368 01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:57,360 Speaker 1: direction or the Patriots headed in the wrong direction? Well, 2369 01:53:57,560 --> 01:53:58,840 Speaker 1: you gotta think about that. I think it means a 2370 01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:01,680 Speaker 1: little of both. Off the list, doesn't mean is it 2371 01:54:01,800 --> 01:54:06,040 Speaker 1: true that even if the Patriots win that that's not true? Yeah, 2372 01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:07,920 Speaker 1: it could be true, but a win would be like 2373 01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:10,599 Speaker 1: a definitive here's a team coming up, here's a team 2374 01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 1: going down? Right? What doesn't it mean that? Isn't that 2375 01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:16,479 Speaker 1: what Ron saying? Yeah? That's what? Yeah, But what a 2376 01:54:16,479 --> 01:54:19,040 Speaker 1: good question? From question, Yeah, but Lisa the same thing, 2377 01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:22,040 Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, Yeah, it doesn't know if it says 2378 01:54:22,040 --> 01:54:24,800 Speaker 1: at either or that's what he's saying. He doesn't this 2379 01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:29,160 Speaker 1: this game doesn't answer any of that definitively. Um, I 2380 01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:30,800 Speaker 1: think it means a little of both. If the Bills 2381 01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:32,880 Speaker 1: win means the Bills are heading in the right direction, 2382 01:54:33,320 --> 01:54:37,160 Speaker 1: as virtually everybody says, right, certainly, certainly it doesn't mean 2383 01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:41,240 Speaker 1: that because that will be an absolute upset. And it 2384 01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:44,480 Speaker 1: means it does mean that that this is a team that, 2385 01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:48,320 Speaker 1: even given its limitations, has a lot of things going right. 2386 01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:50,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, you're right, there's no question, and it means 2387 01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:53,400 Speaker 1: heading in the wrong direction, it would be it would 2388 01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:56,120 Speaker 1: be Listen, it would be the signature win of the 2389 01:54:56,320 --> 01:55:01,080 Speaker 1: entire season, without question, bar none. Yeah, forget the Minnesota 2390 01:55:01,160 --> 01:55:04,040 Speaker 1: win when they were sixteen point dog after getting crushed 2391 01:55:04,080 --> 01:55:06,440 Speaker 1: like the first couple of weeks. Forget all that other stuff, 2392 01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:09,360 Speaker 1: Forget that Matt Barkley win in New York, Forget all 2393 01:55:09,400 --> 01:55:12,360 Speaker 1: of that. If the Bills go in in Foxborough and 2394 01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:17,920 Speaker 1: when on Sunday this week, it is the virtually except 2395 01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:21,200 Speaker 1: for Josh Allen's draft getting drafted him. That's the only 2396 01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:25,280 Speaker 1: thing people will remember about this season like ten years 2397 01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:28,560 Speaker 1: to come. A couple of more tweets, all right from 2398 01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:33,680 Speaker 1: Joseph S and this is directed to me, Murph rubbish 2399 01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:36,920 Speaker 1: in this man, the time is finally approaching, that Brady 2400 01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:38,440 Speaker 1: is going to be done. The Bills have a quarterback 2401 01:55:38,520 --> 01:55:40,520 Speaker 1: that Verry might very much might be around for a 2402 01:55:40,560 --> 01:55:42,920 Speaker 1: long time. Don't be nervous, bro, Let's go in there 2403 01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:44,960 Speaker 1: and get a w I'm not nervous. I'm not nervous 2404 01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:48,480 Speaker 1: at all. You're pessimistic. I'm not. I think it's a pill. 2405 01:55:48,560 --> 01:55:50,400 Speaker 1: I think it's a heavy lift. They're going in the 2406 01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:52,440 Speaker 1: way this week and beat the Patriots. Yes, I do. 2407 01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:55,720 Speaker 1: Is that phrase it like you want? It's a heavy lift. 2408 01:55:56,160 --> 01:55:59,480 Speaker 1: It's not likely to happen, Reliship, You bet eyed, Relaship. Look, 2409 01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:01,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking for going there and doing the game either way. Yeah, 2410 01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:04,360 Speaker 1: here's here's Brian Cook says it best. I'll tell you 2411 01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:06,520 Speaker 1: what it would mean. It would mean that the entire 2412 01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:10,760 Speaker 1: Bills fan base will be hungover on Monday, maybe even Tuesday. 2413 01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:14,120 Speaker 1: That's true. That's probably that's true Tuesday. That's probably a 2414 01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:16,160 Speaker 1: true point. Thanks for that. All right, let's take a 2415 01:56:16,720 --> 01:56:18,960 Speaker 1: phone call here from Clarence, and I mean I mean 2416 01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:21,879 Speaker 1: the name Clarence. Hello, Clarence, where you calling from Buffalo? 2417 01:56:22,720 --> 01:56:25,520 Speaker 1: Go ahead, man, Yeah, I just like to say that 2418 01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,680 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna would be an upbeat of thing 2419 01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:31,800 Speaker 1: for the Bills to win, because you know, it's one 2420 01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:35,800 Speaker 1: of the things that doesn't happen too often in New England, losing, 2421 01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:38,400 Speaker 1: doesn't lose very often in Buffalo, Clarence. It would be 2422 01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:43,040 Speaker 1: more than just an upbeat. It would be like a springboard, trampoline, 2423 01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:46,960 Speaker 1: rocket kind of event. I mean, that's that's how unusual 2424 01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:49,320 Speaker 1: it is. But but I get you, Yeah, you're right, 2425 01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:53,600 Speaker 1: there's how likely do you think it is? Clarence. Um, 2426 01:56:54,240 --> 01:56:55,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm coming up in the air about 2427 01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:58,560 Speaker 1: it because I've seen the improvement in the team in 2428 01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:02,000 Speaker 1: the past few weeks. And be honest with you, I 2429 01:57:02,120 --> 01:57:04,680 Speaker 1: had no reason for them to even think about them 2430 01:57:04,760 --> 01:57:08,120 Speaker 1: winning in New England, But now I do. Why Why, Clarence? 2431 01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:11,800 Speaker 1: What changed? Oh? Just I think it's the attitude of 2432 01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:14,720 Speaker 1: the players, because I think I see them reacting a 2433 01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,680 Speaker 1: little bit better towards Josh Allen on the offensive side, 2434 01:57:18,200 --> 01:57:20,760 Speaker 1: and the Demons have been playing fairly fairly well, so, 2435 01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:23,440 Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things that we just 2436 01:57:23,480 --> 01:57:26,000 Speaker 1: could go in in there and surprise a few people. 2437 01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:28,360 Speaker 1: It was surprised. It was surprise more than a few people. 2438 01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:31,040 Speaker 1: But thanks for call, Clarence. That was You're right, I mean, 2439 01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:33,960 Speaker 1: it's I think part of the reason it was surprised 2440 01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:36,000 Speaker 1: people are the only reason it was surprised people is 2441 01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,600 Speaker 1: because it is unlikely. You know, it's hard to envision 2442 01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:40,480 Speaker 1: the Bills going in there and playing that well in 2443 01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:43,000 Speaker 1: that building against a team that is so disciplined and 2444 01:57:43,160 --> 01:57:45,080 Speaker 1: had so much success in it. I mean, that's that 2445 01:57:45,280 --> 01:57:51,960 Speaker 1: is the that is the place where nobody wins, nobody dreams, 2446 01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:56,560 Speaker 1: go to die for visiting team, visitors, Owing six and 2447 01:57:56,640 --> 01:57:59,520 Speaker 1: foxbro this year, Yeah, maybe Bills get a boost from 2448 01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:03,280 Speaker 1: the knewest Buffalo Bill. The wide receiver return specialist Victor Bolden, 2449 01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:05,440 Speaker 1: signed to the roster a couple of days ago. He 2450 01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:07,160 Speaker 1: had some experience a couple of years ago as a 2451 01:58:07,520 --> 01:58:10,880 Speaker 1: kick and punt return guy for the San Francisco forty 2452 01:58:10,960 --> 01:58:13,080 Speaker 1: nine ers. Now he's a Buffalo Bill. He saw he 2453 01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:15,440 Speaker 1: spoke this week upon a riving Air and was asked 2454 01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:17,840 Speaker 1: about joining the team so late in the season and 2455 01:58:17,960 --> 01:58:20,200 Speaker 1: the chance he might have to make an impact. Here's 2456 01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:23,920 Speaker 1: what Victor Bolden had to say. I just gotta go 2457 01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:26,640 Speaker 1: out here and play hard and make plays. You know, 2458 01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:29,880 Speaker 1: you definitely if one player can change, you know, the 2459 01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:32,440 Speaker 1: impression on you and you know, be good or bad. 2460 01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:34,600 Speaker 1: So you just gotta go out here, focus and execute, 2461 01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:38,320 Speaker 1: and you know things can happen. I know that because 2462 01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:39,920 Speaker 1: I asked coach today. I said, oh, you know, what 2463 01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:41,640 Speaker 1: do you think about him making an impression on you 2464 01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:43,120 Speaker 1: in this and that? And he said, well, I like 2465 01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:47,200 Speaker 1: his tape and he thinks you've got some competitive juice 2466 01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:49,800 Speaker 1: that is evidence on tape. How would you kind of 2467 01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:54,640 Speaker 1: describe your playing style and maybe your passion to make 2468 01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:57,440 Speaker 1: things happen out there? Definitely, just go out I just 2469 01:58:57,680 --> 01:58:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, pride myself and trying to make place for 2470 01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:02,600 Speaker 1: my team. Man, and you know I do anything I 2471 01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:04,520 Speaker 1: can to make that happen. So just go out and 2472 01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:06,800 Speaker 1: go out there and be confident in my abilities and 2473 01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:10,480 Speaker 1: trust my coaching and make plays. You have a good 2474 01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:15,440 Speaker 1: special teams return history from college, and you know, I 2475 01:59:15,520 --> 01:59:17,400 Speaker 1: know you've done a little bit here in the NFL. 2476 01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:24,920 Speaker 1: This team has gone through four five return candidates. Are 2477 01:59:24,960 --> 01:59:28,000 Speaker 1: you hopeful that you might get an opportunity to say, 2478 01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:31,880 Speaker 1: I might be your guy. Yeah, man, I think I 2479 01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:34,400 Speaker 1: can be a you know, elite returner in this league. 2480 01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:37,320 Speaker 1: And I'm just so thankful for you know, Buffalo giving 2481 01:59:37,360 --> 01:59:40,400 Speaker 1: me a chance to do that. So you know it's 2482 01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:42,360 Speaker 1: gonna go out there and you know, show what I 2483 01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:46,400 Speaker 1: can do. You you had more experience on kick return 2484 01:59:46,480 --> 01:59:49,320 Speaker 1: than punt in college. Is there one that you feel 2485 01:59:49,360 --> 01:59:51,480 Speaker 1: any more comfortable with? They are two different things, as 2486 01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of how you do it. Is 2487 01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:58,560 Speaker 1: there one you feel any more comfortable within the other? No? Um? 2488 01:59:58,680 --> 02:00:01,240 Speaker 1: I like both of them, honestly. Um. Like you said, 2489 02:00:01,320 --> 02:00:03,480 Speaker 1: they're both kind of different. So there's there's things I 2490 02:00:03,600 --> 02:00:06,120 Speaker 1: like about both of them, you know. But you know, 2491 02:00:06,240 --> 02:00:08,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind doing one or the other, wouldn't mind 2492 02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:11,160 Speaker 1: doing both. So it doesn't matter if you feel like 2493 02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:14,840 Speaker 1: you're tough to catch in a phone booth, I hope. 2494 02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:16,840 Speaker 1: So you know, you know you want to saven. You 2495 02:00:16,880 --> 02:00:19,920 Speaker 1: gotta be good at something, right, That's right? Victor Bolden, 2496 02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:22,480 Speaker 1: newest Buffalo bill returned specialists out he gets a chance, 2497 02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:26,000 Speaker 1: why wouldn't he right? Let him absolutely turn turn him loose, 2498 02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:28,760 Speaker 1: turn them loose. What do we got to lose? I 2499 02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:30,960 Speaker 1: got a couple of got a couple of calls on 2500 02:00:31,040 --> 02:00:33,080 Speaker 1: the line. Let's go to Bob and Jeektawaga. Hello, Bob, 2501 02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:37,000 Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hi guys, Hi Christmas to your 2502 02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:40,840 Speaker 1: birth Yeah. And I wanted to say, I don't think 2503 02:00:40,920 --> 02:00:42,880 Speaker 1: it's really a fire fetch for the Bose who went 2504 02:00:43,000 --> 02:00:46,040 Speaker 1: someday because you got Josh Ellens, who wasn't in with 2505 02:00:46,280 --> 02:00:48,760 Speaker 1: one new Weingland was beating us and all that, and 2506 02:00:48,920 --> 02:00:53,560 Speaker 1: I became the So I think I think they got 2507 02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:55,960 Speaker 1: a pipe with the attitude was on mine office. You 2508 02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:59,840 Speaker 1: got a number one defense who could slow down Brady Quitte, 2509 02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:02,520 Speaker 1: and I couldn't say they've got a really decent shot, guys. 2510 02:01:03,200 --> 02:01:05,800 Speaker 1: And that's all I want to say is I'm really 2511 02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:08,320 Speaker 1: happy for Josh Ellen and I think that kid could 2512 02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:10,880 Speaker 1: actually go in there and win it. Well, it's gonna 2513 02:01:10,920 --> 02:01:13,640 Speaker 1: take more. I appreciate your confidence, Bob and you and 2514 02:01:13,760 --> 02:01:16,360 Speaker 1: your optimism. It's gonna take more than Josh Allen. It's 2515 02:01:16,360 --> 02:01:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna take more than Josh Allen playing lights out. Guys 2516 02:01:20,520 --> 02:01:22,800 Speaker 1: like Victor Bolden Junior are gonna have to play lights out, 2517 02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, Robert Foster or the offensive line. Um that 2518 02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:29,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots are a really good They're a top flight 2519 02:01:29,160 --> 02:01:32,120 Speaker 1: football team, and they're winning a lot of games this year. 2520 02:01:33,640 --> 02:01:37,720 Speaker 1: So I yeah, it's it's difficult to win in there 2521 02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:41,480 Speaker 1: with an established quarterback with a team that's playing really well. Uh, 2522 02:01:41,760 --> 02:01:43,839 Speaker 1: the Bills are going in there with a rookie quarterback, 2523 02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:47,400 Speaker 1: a top two defense, but a bottom two offense. They 2524 02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:49,560 Speaker 1: have struggled to score points, and I think you've got 2525 02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:51,560 Speaker 1: to score points in that building if you're gonna win. 2526 02:01:51,960 --> 02:01:54,880 Speaker 1: And that's something we haven't seen this offense. Do um. 2527 02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:58,920 Speaker 1: Bob's right about the Buffalo passing defense number one in 2528 02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:01,440 Speaker 1: the NFL. They give up one hundred eighty seven yards 2529 02:02:01,520 --> 02:02:04,280 Speaker 1: per game, number one passing defense in the NFL, and 2530 02:02:04,400 --> 02:02:07,280 Speaker 1: only once this year. I just came across this stat today, 2531 02:02:07,360 --> 02:02:10,720 Speaker 1: only once offseason as an opposing quarterback. All right, three 2532 02:02:10,840 --> 02:02:14,040 Speaker 1: hundred or more yards passing against Buffalo. Guess who that was? 2533 02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:18,560 Speaker 1: Tom by Tom Brady Week eight. Yeah, Tom Brady had 2534 02:02:18,600 --> 02:02:20,400 Speaker 1: a pretty good game against the Bills back in weekend, 2535 02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:23,200 Speaker 1: like three eighty didn't have a bunch yeah, like three 2536 02:02:23,240 --> 02:02:27,160 Speaker 1: eighty five. Wow, So listen, they're up against it. Yeah, 2537 02:02:27,760 --> 02:02:30,760 Speaker 1: but it's nevertheless, you still gotta watch this game to 2538 02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:32,800 Speaker 1: see how they measure up. Let's see and are they 2539 02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:34,960 Speaker 1: gonna be more competitive than they have been in years passed? 2540 02:02:34,960 --> 02:02:37,120 Speaker 1: Are they gonna because let's face it, they lost by 2541 02:02:37,200 --> 02:02:39,840 Speaker 1: nineteen once this year, twenty one and twenty in the 2542 02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:43,640 Speaker 1: years past. It's usually a three possession game at the 2543 02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:46,480 Speaker 1: end of it. This month, last Monday Night game, and 2544 02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:48,880 Speaker 1: that it was the night that they retired Thurmon's jersey. 2545 02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:50,880 Speaker 1: It was a close game through three three and a 2546 02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:53,920 Speaker 1: half quarters, so not three and a half but two 2547 02:02:53,960 --> 02:02:56,680 Speaker 1: two and a half quarters before the Patriots kind of 2548 02:02:56,840 --> 02:02:58,840 Speaker 1: extended their lead, and that's really what it was. It 2549 02:02:58,920 --> 02:03:01,800 Speaker 1: was kind of a leading extension and then they got 2550 02:03:01,920 --> 02:03:04,800 Speaker 1: to pick six then put the game away. Here's Pat 2551 02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:10,560 Speaker 1: and Jamestown. Hello, Pat, Welcome to the show, Scott. I'm sorry, 2552 02:03:10,560 --> 02:03:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

Well, I'm gonna ask you because 2566 02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:02,520 Speaker 1: I thought maybe the callers saw the same thing. Dwayne 2567 02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:05,440 Speaker 1: saw the same thing. That's you've went through it many 2568 02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:08,200 Speaker 1: years ago. That's a tough thing. Victor Bolden, who's been 2569 02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:10,240 Speaker 1: practice squad with the Niners all season. They had some 2570 02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:14,760 Speaker 1: of what nine games played last year, gets traded across country, 2571 02:04:14,880 --> 02:04:16,440 Speaker 1: jumps in here in the middle of the week and 2572 02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:19,400 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna get return work. You went through something 2573 02:04:19,440 --> 02:04:21,920 Speaker 1: similar a long time ago. That's difficult, right, no matter 2574 02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,040 Speaker 1: what a new team, you don't know anybody, You jump 2575 02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:26,280 Speaker 1: in here and they're gonna get You're gonna basically say 2576 02:04:26,360 --> 02:04:29,920 Speaker 1: show us what you can do. That's hard. Yeah, there's 2577 02:04:29,960 --> 02:04:30,960 Speaker 1: a couple of ways to look at it, and I 2578 02:04:31,040 --> 02:04:33,320 Speaker 1: think Victor will probably look at it this way too. Hey, 2579 02:04:33,360 --> 02:04:34,880 Speaker 1: the pressure is off. They don't know me, and I'm 2580 02:04:34,880 --> 02:04:36,480 Speaker 1: just gonna show them.

I'm a guy they just picked up 2583 02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:43,400 Speaker 1: off the waiver. The expectations can't be that high. This 2584 02:04:43,640 --> 02:04:45,160 Speaker 1: is just like, Hey, the roll of the dice for 2585 02:04:45,200 --> 02:04:48,280 Speaker 1: the bills. Let me show them. And you know, as 2586 02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:51,720 Speaker 1: you and I sitting here, Murph, that's exactly what happened 2587 02:04:51,720 --> 02:04:53,720 Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, and it turned into an eleven and 2588 02:04:53,760 --> 02:04:56,480 Speaker 1: a half year career here and all in all the 2589 02:04:56,560 --> 02:04:59,480 Speaker 1: success that you know that I'm still enjoying out here, 2590 02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I'm still in this part of 2591 02:05:01,800 --> 02:05:04,720 Speaker 1: the country after being picked up overnight off the waiver wire. 2592 02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:07,640 Speaker 1: So Victor Boldin could be another guy exactly like that, 2593 02:05:08,200 --> 02:05:12,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's fun to think about. Hey, this just 2594 02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:16,360 Speaker 1: in Adam Schefter reporting that Josh Gordon, Patriots receiver, has 2595 02:05:16,400 --> 02:05:20,680 Speaker 1: now officially men returned to the Reserve Commissioners Suspended List indefinitely. 2596 02:05:21,400 --> 02:05:25,360 Speaker 1: He violated the terms of his conditional treatment as conditional 2597 02:05:25,400 --> 02:05:29,000 Speaker 1: reinstatement rather under the policy and Program for Substance of Abuse. 2598 02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:31,720 Speaker 1: So he walked away from it, said he was walking 2599 02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:34,200 Speaker 1: away from mental health issues. And it turns out, I 2600 02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:37,720 Speaker 1: guess this won't shock anybody that he violated his conditional 2601 02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:41,160 Speaker 1: reinstatement terms under the Program for Substance Abuse. He was 2602 02:05:41,200 --> 02:05:44,680 Speaker 1: gonna get suspended anyway. Yeah, it's too bad. I mean, 2603 02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:46,920 Speaker 1: say what you want, how can he do that? But 2604 02:05:46,960 --> 02:05:48,840 Speaker 1: it's it's bad. He's got a problem, hasn't been able 2605 02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:51,200 Speaker 1: to deal with it for years now, and it basically 2606 02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:54,080 Speaker 1: he's taking himself out of the NFL with an immense 2607 02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:58,400 Speaker 1: amount of talent. That's a tragic story. I believe he's 2608 02:05:58,440 --> 02:06:01,560 Speaker 1: got some demons. Yeah, all right, NFL True or False 2609 02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:04,680 Speaker 1: brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's artists in Cheese. 2610 02:06:04,720 --> 02:06:08,240 Speaker 1: Are you ready for true or False? Now? See let 2611 02:06:08,320 --> 02:06:10,840 Speaker 1: me find it all right, here we go. Khalil Mack 2612 02:06:11,200 --> 02:06:15,200 Speaker 1: will end the season with more sacks to his credit 2613 02:06:15,640 --> 02:06:18,000 Speaker 1: than the Oakland Raiders will all year. Khalil Mack has 2614 02:06:18,040 --> 02:06:23,960 Speaker 1: twelve and a half sacks. The Raiders have eleven sacks. Obviously, 2615 02:06:24,080 --> 02:06:25,560 Speaker 1: the it's not irony. I don't know what it is. 2616 02:06:25,840 --> 02:06:29,920 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack was a Raider the Raiders ostensibly he could 2617 02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:31,520 Speaker 1: have had twenty three sacks as a team and if 2618 02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:33,760 Speaker 1: he had stayed there, Because he's got twelve and a half, 2619 02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:35,800 Speaker 1: and he will end the season with more than the Raiders. 2620 02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:38,400 Speaker 1: I think that's true, right. I think the Bears finished 2621 02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:41,880 Speaker 1: with the game against Minnesota and one more Detroit. I 2622 02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:44,040 Speaker 1: guess they finished with let me look, but yeah, he's 2623 02:06:44,080 --> 02:06:46,360 Speaker 1: got a chance. He probably will have more sacks than 2624 02:06:47,080 --> 02:06:50,760 Speaker 1: than his former team. Yeah, finish. I'm sorry at San Francisco, 2625 02:06:50,840 --> 02:06:52,880 Speaker 1: at Minnesota. I agree. I think he will have more 2626 02:06:52,960 --> 02:06:56,240 Speaker 1: sacks than the Oakland Raiders. And the Raiders go to 2627 02:06:57,040 --> 02:06:59,440 Speaker 1: Denver or they're at home against Denver this week, and 2628 02:06:59,480 --> 02:07:01,880 Speaker 1: then they go to Kansas City, I don't think they're 2629 02:07:01,880 --> 02:07:05,320 Speaker 1: gonna sack Mahomes. So yeah, I think Khalil Mack is 2630 02:07:05,360 --> 02:07:08,920 Speaker 1: gonna is gonna finish with four sacks just by himself, 2631 02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:11,440 Speaker 1: than the entire team, than the team than his old 2632 02:07:11,480 --> 02:07:14,160 Speaker 1: team traded him away. Of course, they could have had 2633 02:07:14,240 --> 02:07:15,640 Speaker 1: him in his sacks, but they'd had to pay a 2634 02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:17,960 Speaker 1: one hundred million bucks for it. Could have had it 2635 02:07:18,040 --> 02:07:20,400 Speaker 1: all right. That's NFL Tour Froust, Part one, Part two. 2636 02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:24,520 Speaker 1: Eli Manning. He's been examined all season long, coming up 2637 02:07:24,560 --> 02:07:26,360 Speaker 1: to the end of the year. According to Pat Shermer, 2638 02:07:26,520 --> 02:07:30,520 Speaker 1: Giants coach Eli Manning has quote years left as a 2639 02:07:30,600 --> 02:07:33,680 Speaker 1: starter in the NFL. Eli Manning has years left. Pat 2640 02:07:33,760 --> 02:07:35,960 Speaker 1: Shermer says, do you believe that, Steve I do not. 2641 02:07:36,160 --> 02:07:40,000 Speaker 1: I do not. I think that's false. I'm covering the 2642 02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:44,080 Speaker 1: Giants this week. I think Eli Manning it's a fourteen 2643 02:07:44,200 --> 02:07:48,080 Speaker 1: year career or no. And it's more than that, it's seventeenth, 2644 02:07:48,160 --> 02:07:53,640 Speaker 1: fifteenth year, same year as Philip Rivers. Certainly the team 2645 02:07:53,800 --> 02:07:55,760 Speaker 1: is not the same around him. He put it together 2646 02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:57,400 Speaker 1: a couple of times in the postseason. It got him 2647 02:07:57,400 --> 02:07:59,600 Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl and won two Super Bowls. That 2648 02:07:59,720 --> 02:08:01,960 Speaker 1: says a lot about his ability to, you know, to 2649 02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:05,160 Speaker 1: turn it up. But I think the Giants missed an 2650 02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:07,360 Speaker 1: incredible opportunity to get one of the gut quarterbacks that 2651 02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:09,680 Speaker 1: we're seeing be successful in the league now. And also, 2652 02:08:09,760 --> 02:08:11,960 Speaker 1: you know the Mahomes thing too. Now, everybody missed on 2653 02:08:12,080 --> 02:08:15,480 Speaker 1: Mahomes except Andy Reidon those guys. So I say, no, 2654 02:08:15,680 --> 02:08:18,200 Speaker 1: I don't think Eli Manning is going to play years 2655 02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:22,520 Speaker 1: in the league, maybe one any year. Yeah, here's another quarterback. 2656 02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:24,400 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I say false as well. And 2657 02:08:24,560 --> 02:08:27,560 Speaker 1: finally on true false, another quarterback question. Listen to this list. 2658 02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:30,720 Speaker 1: This comes from a story from NFL dot Com. Joe Flaccile, 2659 02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:34,000 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, Ryan Tannehill will all be on new teams 2660 02:08:34,200 --> 02:08:36,960 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Flaccile from the Ravens and somebody else, 2661 02:08:37,360 --> 02:08:40,280 Speaker 1: Bordles from Jaggars somebody else, Tannahill from the Dolphin to 2662 02:08:40,360 --> 02:08:43,800 Speaker 1: somebody else. That'll be quite the trifecta. I'd be hard 2663 02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:45,960 Speaker 1: pressed to bet that that will be true. But as 2664 02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:47,800 Speaker 1: long as we got nothing at stake here on NFL 2665 02:08:47,840 --> 02:08:50,200 Speaker 1: true false, I would say true. I could see that happening, 2666 02:08:50,360 --> 02:08:52,920 Speaker 1: but I bet out just because it's three three of them, 2667 02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:55,160 Speaker 1: I can't see maybe. I don't know if Tannehill leaves 2668 02:08:55,520 --> 02:09:00,920 Speaker 1: the other two. Yeah, Flacco, I mean the writing's on 2669 02:09:00,960 --> 02:09:02,600 Speaker 1: the wall there. He's making too much money for too 2670 02:09:02,640 --> 02:09:06,040 Speaker 1: little production, and he's too limited otherwise other than throwing 2671 02:09:06,120 --> 02:09:10,080 Speaker 1: it Bortles, I don't know what other team will sign him. 2672 02:09:10,560 --> 02:09:14,720 Speaker 1: But hey, they signed Nate Peterman yesterday, so that's out there. 2673 02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:17,080 Speaker 1: Tannehill I think the Dolphins will stick with him even 2674 02:09:17,120 --> 02:09:19,400 Speaker 1: if they do acquire another quarterback. I don't think they'll 2675 02:09:19,520 --> 02:09:22,120 Speaker 1: kick Tannehill to the courage two years less than his contract. 2676 02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:23,960 Speaker 1: He's seven years in two years left to go on 2677 02:09:24,040 --> 02:09:28,160 Speaker 1: this contract. They they pay him pretty significantly. I don't know. 2678 02:09:28,680 --> 02:09:31,320 Speaker 1: They have to find a really good look. I'm not 2679 02:09:31,400 --> 02:09:33,280 Speaker 1: a Tannehill fan, to never have been one, but you'd 2680 02:09:33,320 --> 02:09:35,560 Speaker 1: really need to find somebody better than him if you're 2681 02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:37,560 Speaker 1: gonna make that move. And that's hard to do. Well, 2682 02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:40,000 Speaker 1: we've lived it here for a decade and a half, 2683 02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:42,520 Speaker 1: almost twenty years. Yeah, it's hard to replace the guy. Yeah, 2684 02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:44,720 Speaker 1: and you don't want to replace the guy unless you've 2685 02:09:44,760 --> 02:09:48,480 Speaker 1: got something better. And in a lot of insists of 2686 02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:50,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fans have seen in past years, the only 2687 02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:52,880 Speaker 1: reason you get somebody better is the guy plays worse 2688 02:09:52,920 --> 02:09:54,920 Speaker 1: and worse and worse. Well, the guy that's out there, Yeah, 2689 02:09:55,120 --> 02:09:58,320 Speaker 1: you gotta make the move. So the Dolphins aren'tywhere near 2690 02:09:58,360 --> 02:10:00,120 Speaker 1: that with Tannehill, So I would say he may be 2691 02:10:00,160 --> 02:10:01,920 Speaker 1: the one of those three that will probably be staying 2692 02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:03,840 Speaker 1: right where he's at. You say falls say true, and 2693 02:10:03,880 --> 02:10:06,000 Speaker 1: there you go, NFL true or false. Brought to you 2694 02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:08,640 Speaker 1: by Yancey's Fancy New York's artists and Cheese. Steve and 2695 02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:10,400 Speaker 1: I coming back with more in a moment. One Bill's 2696 02:10:10,440 --> 02:10:13,560 Speaker 1: Live from One Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. 2697 02:10:28,120 --> 02:10:30,640 Speaker 1: What have we learned from today's show? Good question. It's 2698 02:10:30,680 --> 02:10:33,880 Speaker 1: presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's homes and 2699 02:10:34,440 --> 02:10:36,880 Speaker 1: businesses with a finess and security and a home Theater, 2700 02:10:37,280 --> 02:10:39,600 Speaker 1: the preferred Alarm at Home Theater provider of the Buffalo 2701 02:10:39,680 --> 02:10:43,040 Speaker 1: Bill's Good Show. Today, Bruce Arians joined us longtime NFL coach. 2702 02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:45,240 Speaker 1: He's coached some of the great quarterbacks around the NFL. 2703 02:10:45,520 --> 02:10:48,320 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians office stint As, Arizona Cardinals head coach is 2704 02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:50,480 Speaker 1: now with the NFL on CBS, and I'll have the 2705 02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:52,840 Speaker 1: call of the game on Sunday. He'll be there with 2706 02:10:53,160 --> 02:10:58,800 Speaker 1: Trent Green and Gumbole Whig, Greg Gumble. Thank you, CBS boy. 2707 02:10:59,160 --> 02:11:01,920 Speaker 1: Will be there with Greg and Trent Green to call 2708 02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:04,440 Speaker 1: the Bills and the Patriots on Sunday. At any rate. 2709 02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:07,640 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians answered our question what he sees so far 2710 02:11:07,800 --> 02:11:11,600 Speaker 1: from Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Here's his response. Well, I 2711 02:11:11,720 --> 02:11:14,840 Speaker 1: love his athleticism and I think he's growing as a player. 2712 02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:18,200 Speaker 1: He's obviously got a strong arm and with those young 2713 02:11:18,280 --> 02:11:21,680 Speaker 1: receivers they're putting it down the field. He's not afraid 2714 02:11:21,720 --> 02:11:25,120 Speaker 1: to run. I think he needs to start becoming more careful. 2715 02:11:25,840 --> 02:11:27,920 Speaker 1: Like all young quarterbacks, you know, they've got to try 2716 02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:30,640 Speaker 1: to win over their locker room and show everybody how 2717 02:11:30,720 --> 02:11:33,400 Speaker 1: tough they are. And I think he's already done that, 2718 02:11:33,480 --> 02:11:35,560 Speaker 1: so it's time to step out of balance, slide a 2719 02:11:35,560 --> 02:11:39,240 Speaker 1: little more and just protect himself. But just continued to 2720 02:11:39,360 --> 02:11:44,520 Speaker 1: grow as a quarterback in processing information quickly. And that's 2721 02:11:44,560 --> 02:11:47,000 Speaker 1: what I love when rookies are playing, because that's the 2722 02:11:47,040 --> 02:11:49,200 Speaker 1: only way to learn. I like when they're playing too. 2723 02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:51,280 Speaker 1: I like to watch this rookie play too. Also today 2724 02:11:51,320 --> 02:11:54,800 Speaker 1: in the show, a quarterback Derek Anderson, third stringer back 2725 02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:58,040 Speaker 1: healthy now out of concussion protocol, and he talked to 2726 02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:00,480 Speaker 1: us about the growth that he has witnessed from Bill's 2727 02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:05,320 Speaker 1: rookie Josh Allen. I think it's just comfortable, you know, 2728 02:12:05,440 --> 02:12:09,720 Speaker 1: being comfortable within the offense um, seeing different things, you know, 2729 02:12:09,800 --> 02:12:12,000 Speaker 1: seeing different defenses going out and you know, knowing what 2730 02:12:12,080 --> 02:12:13,920 Speaker 1: we're trying to do, having a better understanding of what 2731 02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:17,040 Speaker 1: we're trying to do um and I think his command 2732 02:12:17,120 --> 02:12:19,280 Speaker 1: of the huddle at the line of scrimmage and improves 2733 02:12:19,280 --> 02:12:23,480 Speaker 1: every single day. Derrek Hamison, I'm talking about his his 2734 02:12:23,640 --> 02:12:25,320 Speaker 1: relationship with Josh Allen. Do you think we talked to 2735 02:12:25,440 --> 02:12:30,480 Speaker 1: much about Josh Allen on the show? I'm probably yeah. 2736 02:12:30,880 --> 02:12:33,280 Speaker 1: I don't think Josh. Josh Allen doesn't get talked about 2737 02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:36,200 Speaker 1: as much when he's with his girlfriend, you know, and 2738 02:12:36,360 --> 02:12:39,120 Speaker 1: get grief. But it's it's a story. It's what makes 2739 02:12:39,200 --> 02:12:42,520 Speaker 1: this season interesting, right We talking about him more than Yeah, 2740 02:12:43,040 --> 02:12:45,280 Speaker 1: we talk about him more than his girlfriend. Yeah, I 2741 02:12:45,400 --> 02:12:47,600 Speaker 1: think we do. That's a little awkward, it is. I 2742 02:12:47,640 --> 02:12:50,880 Speaker 1: think that's true, though, I mean, come on, but he's 2743 02:12:50,920 --> 02:12:52,840 Speaker 1: the story and he will be the story this Sunday. 2744 02:12:53,120 --> 02:12:55,000 Speaker 1: It's interesting to think about though. You think the quarterback 2745 02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:56,840 Speaker 1: room is a finished product. You think that's where they 2746 02:12:56,880 --> 02:12:59,000 Speaker 1: want it right there, all those three guys going in. 2747 02:12:59,120 --> 02:13:01,200 Speaker 1: Then they'll be there all through the off season, all 2748 02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:02,440 Speaker 1: through the next seat, you know what I mean. My 2749 02:13:02,480 --> 02:13:05,160 Speaker 1: answer is yes, I think they'd like. That doesn't mean 2750 02:13:05,160 --> 02:13:07,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, I mean, no, you know it doesn't. 2751 02:13:07,440 --> 02:13:09,960 Speaker 1: But I mean Barkeley might have some opportunities, Anderson got 2752 02:13:10,040 --> 02:13:12,400 Speaker 1: to decide what he wants to do. Yeah, but I 2753 02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:14,640 Speaker 1: think if you ask them right now, they'd say that's 2754 02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:16,680 Speaker 1: our three that we loved, like to go forward with it. 2755 02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:19,000 Speaker 1: I think Barkeley really cemented his spot with a win 2756 02:13:19,600 --> 02:13:23,040 Speaker 1: after eleven days off and plus it. You know the 2757 02:13:23,280 --> 02:13:26,120 Speaker 1: videos going around the internet where Barkeley was stoked when 2758 02:13:26,240 --> 02:13:28,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen ice the game with a quarterback sneak. I 2759 02:13:28,640 --> 02:13:30,680 Speaker 1: mean that's good to see. Yeah, you know a guy 2760 02:13:30,720 --> 02:13:34,160 Speaker 1: that's bought in already fun good show tomorrow.
