1 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live, presented by Called Light a Health. 2 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: All right, welcome to a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live. 3 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: Players are on the field, but in reduced numbers. We'll 4 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: explain what that means in just a second. As the 5 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: weather here has already turned poor. It is kind of 6 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: like us. It's not sleep but it's a cold, wet 7 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: rain and the temperature is supposed to drop through the 8 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: course of the day the wet So basically this might 9 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: be a precursor to what we get starting on Thursday 10 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: night into Friday and all of the stuff that we're 11 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: supposed to get weatherwise at the end of the week, 12 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: which could make Sunday's game against the Browns very very interesting. 13 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: To get more information on that, we'll be talking with 14 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: our broadcast partner, w IVBTV mediaologist Mike Psycha at the 15 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: bottom of the hour here about thirty minutes from now, 16 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: to get a better sense as to the whether the 17 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: Bills could be dealing with by the end of the week. 18 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: And we just heard from Sean McDermott Steve Like last 19 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: hour discuss all the contingency plans that they have put 20 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: into place, knowing Friday could be a difficult day for 21 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: players to get to work. How is practice going to 22 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: function if travel is an issue? Do they move the schedule? 23 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: Do they have people start picking guys up on snowmobiles? 24 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: What are we doing? So all of those contingencies have begun, 25 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like the game has been run through 26 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: in terms of too many contingency plans at the league level. 27 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, that doesn't have It's kind of a wait 28 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: and see that the weather to be on the table, Like, 29 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: you know, we're not looking at a Snovember game where 30 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: they moved it to Detroit, although you know that's always 31 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: the possibility, and and you check on that stuff. Detroit's 32 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: out of town this week, so the stadium is there. 33 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: Ford Field would be there, but that's way out on 34 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: the horizon. I think that's a pretty small possibility given 35 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: the timing of what they think this storm's gonna do. 36 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: I think it would probably be more likely. And I 37 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 1: don't I don't know anything about anything, so I'm I'm 38 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: riffing here a little bit. They would probably because of COVID, 39 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: and COVID has happened since the last time they did 40 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: something like this. They would probably go without fans. You 41 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: know what, I mean they probably have the game here 42 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: in Buffalo and just do it without having a crowd, 43 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: and if the field was unusable, yeah, then then you 44 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: start getting into some some iffy kind of stuff about 45 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: delaying the game, pushing it back twenty four hours, whatever. 46 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: But for now, right now, they're planning on Sunday at 47 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: one here in the stadium, and let's go. It's all right, 48 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: but you know, you gotta talk about all this stuff 49 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: because we've seen it happen, that's right. And this is 50 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: not just hey, we may get you know, six to 51 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: eight inches. They're talking feet and like I said, like 52 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: I said, we'll catch up with Mike Psycha, meteorologist for 53 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: w IVBTV Channel four here in Buffalo, our broadcast partner, 54 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: to get more details on if the picture is any 55 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: clearer today than it was yesterday. Knowing this snow is 56 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: supposed to begin arriving tomorrow night, and let's face it, 57 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if they if they expect it to snow 58 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: hard at one pm, three hours one way or the 59 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: other makes a big difference. Yeah, And the forecast right 60 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: now is for it to be snowing at kickoff, yeah, two, 61 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: So if that's also getting the stadium ready for fans, 62 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: getting the field ready for a game, parking lots, everything, 63 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: So it's it's an issue. It's a race. But the 64 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: problem is they keep moving the finish line. You know, 65 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: there's a Sunday at one window that you want to 66 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: keep an eye on, but you don't know whether it's 67 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: going to be makeable or not. So well, we've all 68 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: been through this here in Buffalo. We know how this goes. 69 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: I mean we've we've lived through it. So we'll see. 70 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: We'll just see. There is a bit of news concerning 71 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: player availability for practice today, and it's not due to injury. 72 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: It's due to illness. Five players have been struck by 73 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: illness and are not in the building for practice today. 74 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: They are Reggie Gilliam, Cam Lewis, Matt Milano, Jordan Phillips, 75 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: and Tim Settle, all out sick today. And because of 76 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: that reduction in numbers, combined with the players who are 77 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: on the injury list and not participating, basically the Bills 78 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: have had to adjust practice. They're not going to be 79 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: doing team segments of practice today. It's only going to 80 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: be individual position drills. So the practice will be abbreviated. 81 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: Due to the fact that they're going to be down 82 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: those five players due to illness, and then you've got 83 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: Josh Allen limited today in practice. That was the plan 84 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: all along. It's not because his injury worsened in any way, 85 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: shape or form that he played with last week. It's 86 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: just the plan going forward and then not practicing today 87 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: due to injury. Tremaine Edmonds, Jake Kumereau and Greg Rousseau 88 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: two players getting veteran rest days, Von Miller and de 89 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: Quan Jones. Roger Saffold was mentioned by coach McDermott, but 90 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: we did see him out there participating in practice, so 91 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: maybe his VET rest days later in the week. We'll 92 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: have to wait and see. Yeah, maybe Jordan Poyer back 93 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: practicing today, so that was good to see. They made 94 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: they Yeah, vet rest days are a little bit fluid 95 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: depending on how the guy gets out of bed and 96 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: fields that day, so yeah, they could switch it around, 97 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: but the list of them and the illnesses obviously are 98 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: not serious, just gives him time off. And I was 99 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: having a conversation out on the practice field before I 100 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: bolted in here back in the day guys showed up 101 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: these practiced and if he got sick he's went inside 102 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: and then came back out. You know, I mean, I 103 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: think the sensitivity to this kind of thing is way 104 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: different than it has been in right, and we don't 105 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: know what the illness is. All we know that it 106 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: is not COVID related. Coach did confirm that it's just 107 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: he said, it's just illness. You hope it's not a 108 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: flu bug running through the team because it is flu season. 109 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: But we'll have to just wait and see. Hopefully all 110 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: those guys are back at practice tomorrow and things can 111 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: continue as normal. Bill's practice updates are presented by Lecom 112 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. There is one other 113 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: note to mention on the injury front, and that is 114 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: concerning wide receiver Marquez Stevenson. He was practicing today. He's 115 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: still on injured reserve with the foot injury he suffered 116 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: in training camp. He's been rehab having hard. Stephen. I 117 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: see him out here training on his own in the 118 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 1: fieldhouse because it's right next to our office all the time. 119 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: He's been working especially hard these last two weeks, every 120 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: single day on his own out on the practice field. 121 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: Good to see him out there. And this opens a 122 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: twenty one day practice window for him, so he'll presumably 123 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: without any setbacks, be practicing for anywhere up to the 124 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: next twenty one days, and then the team will make 125 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: a decision whether to put him on the active roster, 126 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: maybe the practice squad. Last year they did him, they 127 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: want to leave him on injured reserves. Last you remember 128 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: they brought him up late in the year. He got 129 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: some reps and yeah, and they had to make some 130 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: roster moves. He returned punts on the Thanks. It'll be 131 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: interesting too because now they have nightheam hinds. They and 132 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: their receiving corps for the most part is healthy. McKenzie's healthy. 133 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: Had a decision to me, So yeah, it's going to 134 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: be difficult to see somebody off the roster. To put 135 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: him off, or they got to put him on the 136 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: practice squad, that's another option. So yeah, a lot of 137 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: stuff going on. And as with the Bills, as with 138 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: most other teams at this time of year, when you 139 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: get injuries and guys moving up and down in the 140 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: and the availability category, these teams are, man, they're busy. 141 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: You know. You get come out here on a Wednesday 142 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: and he's got a list of it. Like you said, 143 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: he's got like there were twelve names on this list 144 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: of practicing not practicing, and unfortunately it seems never ending. Yeah, 145 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: this year, unlike any other recent memory with this group, 146 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of injuries that have bothered him. Yeah. 147 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: Player to keep an eye on this week concerning the 148 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: Browns is David and Joku. He's missed the last two 149 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: games with an injury. It's their pass catching tight end. 150 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: So we'll see if he's practicing today. Reports are that 151 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: he won't be, but we'll see if that is in 152 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: fact the case. He is not practicing. Okay, that's confirmed, 153 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: David and Joku not practicing. So you know, if he's 154 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: missing from their offensive arsenal, that's a loss for them. 155 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: They've played the last two weeks without him. Yeah, I mean, 156 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: we'll see how injured, how long the injury list is 157 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: for them, although I'd find it hard to believe it's 158 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: longer than Buffalo's right now, which has been just a 159 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: weekly issue. It just can't get around this injury bug. 160 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: It seems it's been tough going. Uh, and they've just 161 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: tried to keep on keeping on as best they can. 162 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: But you know, every week it seems like we got 163 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: a new guy, Greg Russo, you know, not practicing again today. 164 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: He's dealing with a high ankle sprain. Those things can 165 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: take some time. We saw Jake Kumero missed four games 166 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: because of one, So it's just tough when you see 167 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: new names popping on that list. Everyone it's like, dang, 168 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: I want to catch a break in a good way. 169 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, ye, it's been. It's weird because we 170 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: they were so healthy over the last two twenty twenty one, 171 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: they were really healthy all the way through, and then 172 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: last year, right before they hit the playoffs, they were 173 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: completely healthy and playing as good a football as anybody 174 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: in the league, which is why last year's the end 175 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: of last year's season was so disappointing because they were 176 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: sitting right where they needed to be sitting. It'll be 177 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: interesting to see the can get back to that point 178 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: as this season winds down at the end of the 179 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: regular season. But all they want, all they're you know, 180 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: everything they're looking for is right in front of them. 181 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: So we'll see if they can get it together, don't 182 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: turn the football over and win some games. Right Brown's 183 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: coming off a loss at the hands of the Dolphins 184 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: last week. Down in Miami pretty handily, in fact, and 185 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: they're trying to bounce back here. I mean they really are, 186 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: because they're three and six, and I think the hope 187 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: going in Steve was what was that they would be 188 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: a team that would at least be in contention by 189 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: the time Deshaun Watson comes back, which will be in 190 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: week twelve or sorry, week thirteen. Yeah, they can start 191 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: practicing today. Today is his first day's practice coming off 192 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: the suspension. He's gonna miss the Bills game. He will 193 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: miss next week's Tampa Bay game for the Browns, and 194 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: then he will be in the lineup you can bet 195 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: when they go back to Houston for that game. But 196 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: they have lost five of their last six, including last 197 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: week at the hands of the Dolphins by a twenty 198 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: two point margin thirty nine to seventeen, and their only 199 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: win is over Cincinnati. In the last month and a half, 200 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: it's been a rough go here for them, basically since 201 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: October started, and they're three and six now and have 202 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: kind of fallen out of contention in the tightly packed 203 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: AFC at the top. But with only three wins, it's 204 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: hard to see them picking up enough ground too well. 205 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you'd really have to go on 206 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: a run down the stretch here. I mean, they've almost 207 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: got no margin forever going forward to land A playoffs. Yeah, 208 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna be even if if they split or if 209 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: they if they win these you know, they win these 210 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: two games, get back, get to five and six. Well 211 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: with the remainder of their schedule going and then to 212 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson coming back, you know, you can see it 213 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: away through it. But they got to start winning games. 214 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: The biggest problem is they can't keep other teams off 215 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: the scoreboard. They're thirty first in the league and points 216 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: allowed that and you've got to keep them off the scoreboard. 217 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: You can't, especially when you have you know, your backup 218 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: quarterback work in every week in Jacoby Brissette. The defense 219 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: has got to buckle down even more. Try to hold 220 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: that opponent to seventeen twenty points so your offense feels 221 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: like they've got a chance. Yeah, their defense has been 222 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: an incredible disappointment this year. They've got really good players. 223 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: Ward is over there, They've got you know, Miles Garrett, 224 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowney, They've they've got some real talented players and 225 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: they had some higher expectations for their defense I think 226 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: than what they've been able to perform at this year, 227 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: and that has nothing to do with the quarterback situations. 228 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: So I'm I think they're really disappointed in the way 229 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: they've put it together this season. Despite the Deshaun Watson 230 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: drama that's going on over there. They expected to be 231 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: much better on that side of the football, and let's 232 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: face it, if they were, they'd have won more games. Yeah. 233 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: Around the NFL presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare 234 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: system of the Buffalo Bills Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson. 235 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: You see this NFC Offensive Player of the Week after 236 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: his ten reception one hundred ninety three yard performance was 237 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: included a touchdown against the Bills. That was enough to 238 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: deal with. Thanks very much for that. Commanders have a 239 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: quarterback decision to make. Looks like Carson Wentz is close 240 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: to returning from being on ir with a ring finger 241 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: injury on his throwing hand. I'm kind of riding heinech 242 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: here if I'm the Commanders, aren't you. I mean, I 243 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: haven't seen him practice, And here's the problem. You go 244 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: out there and it's like watching and let's let's even 245 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: even the current version of two a Tonga Bloa where 246 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: he's accurate and the their scoring points and doing all that. 247 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: That's like choosing between that version of a quarterback and 248 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen as a quarterback. Because when you see Carson 249 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: Wentz play, he's big, strong, he checks all those boxes, 250 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: you know, and we you know, Bill's fans will tell 251 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: you Ta is a really good quarterback. They're scheming it 252 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: up for him really well, and he's really accurate, but 253 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't really jump off the page like yeah, like 254 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: a guy like Carson Wentz. But you know this too, 255 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: when when it's real and it's live, Carson Wentz seems 256 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: to shrink, but in practice he looks like the better guy, 257 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, so I'm it's a 258 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: it's a strange problem. They have a ring finger injury 259 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: to Wentz. He's the guy that went out and got 260 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: and he's the guy they're paying he expected to start. 261 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: I would imagine Carson Wentz is gonna take snaps this week, 262 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: but we'll see. Yeah, see that team, that team loves 263 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: playing for hinarchy. Like you can just tell when he's 264 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: on the field their motive. There's something in that and 265 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna belittle that that that means something in 266 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: a team sport. I don't know. That's that's a really 267 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: tough it's a tough decision because because they're in it now, 268 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: like they're five, they're in the race, they're a half 269 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: game out of a playoff spot. They're in the race now. 270 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: You don't want to screw this up, you know what 271 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Like with all the commanders have had to 272 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: deal with off the field, their team actually has a 273 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: chance here on the field. You've got to make the 274 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: right call here. And yeah, is Heinick limited as a quarterback? Yeah, 275 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: but man, he seems like a real easy guy to 276 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: rally around. And that team plays hard when he's out 277 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: right there. Well, that's the thing. And you're just being 278 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: an undefeated team in your division, right if you're you know, 279 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: the head coach, you gotta you gotta make that call. 280 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: And if they're playing hard for Heineke, you've got to 281 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: get him to play hard for Wentz if he's the guy. Yeah, yeah, 282 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: that's your job. And a little bit of us wins, 283 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: no question, But you gotta get him, gotta get him there, 284 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: You gotta get him there, you know. I mean, Ron 285 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: Rivera has got to get out there and say, you know, 286 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: all right, let's go. We gave us a chance. Whatever. 287 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: But then again, I mean, think about the I can't 288 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: get around. This is really a hard from from from 289 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: the distance we are, Because there may be it may 290 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: be more obvious when you're in the building. They may think, God, 291 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: none of us who's wins is ready. He's going to 292 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: be the guy because we like him or whatever, or 293 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: it Maybe I don't know, you know, it may be 294 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: more obvious than we're making it from the million miles 295 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: away we are. But I'll say this, the way Heineke 296 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: played in that game against Philly, the only undefeated team 297 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: left in the league, winning it, doing all the things 298 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: he did, drawing the penalty at the end, all of 299 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: that stuff. Now to sit him that it kind of 300 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: like Wilts the locker room, you know what I'm saying. 301 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: That deflates them. Well, I don't know how you go 302 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: back to wins this week if he's healthy enough to play, 303 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: because if you're a player on that team, you're like, man, 304 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: we just being an undefeated team with Heineke, Why are 305 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: we doing this now? Right? We just got our biggest 306 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: win of the year this guy right inside, And that 307 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: may be true, but inside the locker room, there is 308 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: a vibe. There is a vibe about yet this guy 309 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: or that guy. There is a consensus, even if it 310 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: is totally unspoken, Yeah, about which guy is the guy 311 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: silent ballot there. I'm telling you. You can feel it. 312 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: You feel it, you know it. There is a there 313 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: is a consensus in that locker room, one hundred thousand 314 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: percent of one of them. And I don't know what 315 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, Ron Rivera should know what it is. 316 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: And if he does, it's up to him to make 317 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: it happen. Because there's always this you got an own 318 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: who's paying the money and he hasn't And he'll say, no, 319 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: I don't care what they said. We're playing the I'm 320 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: paying this guy two millions. I'm paying him two million 321 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: bucks to sit on the sidelines with a clipboard play. 322 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: That's always one of the things that gets in the 323 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: way of all that. But I don't know if that's 324 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: going to happen either, But there is an absolute vibe 325 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: in the locker room one of those guys should be 326 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: the guy. It's rarely ever split down the locker room. 327 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: There's almost always a consensus. Yeah, we've got to get 328 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: our topic of discussion out to you today and so 329 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: it is already up on Twitter at one Bills Live. 330 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: If you want to respond on the tweet sheet, as 331 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: we know some people like to do, so you can 332 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: do that at one Bills Live. Feel free to respond 333 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: which defender would you want back and guaranteed healthy for 334 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. We're making some wishes out 335 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: here today because it seems like every week there's a 336 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: there's another starting defender that's not in the lineup, and 337 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: it's just really compromised the effectiveness of Leslie Frasier's defense, 338 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: which has been lights out pretty much since he arrived 339 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: on the scene and performed admirably. I mean even in 340 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen season when the Bills were six and ten, 341 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: Buffalo had the second best past defense in football. I mean, 342 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: they've been good pretty much since Sean McDermott and Leslie's 343 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,239 Speaker 1: Frasier's feet hit the ground here in Buffalo, and the 344 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: injuries have made it a supreme, supremely more difficult task, 345 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: as we have seen at times through the course of 346 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: this season. Edmonds is dealing with a groin injury right now, 347 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: he's not practicing. Jordan Poyer is practicing, but has missed 348 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: five games this season. Dredevious White is yet to play 349 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: it down, although he's you know, trying to work his 350 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: way back through the practice week and then you know, 351 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: get to a point where everybody you know at the 352 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: in the building feels like he's ready to play. Which 353 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: defender would you want back if you had to pick one, 354 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: and you get the guarantee that he's healthy the rest 355 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: of the year once you get him back, you don't 356 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: lose him again. Who do you want line him up? 357 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, Jordan Poyer, Tredevious White or somebody else. Maybe 358 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: you want Rousseau back and healthy the rest of the way, playoffs, 359 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: everything guaranteed bill of health for the rest of the 360 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: season once you get him back. Eight oh three five 361 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two, five fifty 362 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: the number to get on board. Got some open lines 363 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: for you there, do you It's look, I know we're 364 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: kind of splitting hairs here, but I think we can 365 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: unequivocally say the secondary looks different without Jordan Poyer. It's 366 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: almost the sad thing is we've almost grown accustomed to 367 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: seeing it without Tredevious White because he hadn't been there 368 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: since Thanksgiving last year. We're going on almost a calendar year. 369 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: We haven't seen the defense without him. We've seen what 370 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: it's like with Poyer this year, basically winning the game 371 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: for them in Baltimore or sealing the game anyway. And 372 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: we've seen what it's like without Tremaine Edmonds last week. 373 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: He goes out of the game all of a sudden. 374 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: Minnesota's work in the middle of the field in the 375 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: passing game because they don't have a terra dactyl out 376 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: there defending the past. So I think it's an interesting 377 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: group of choices here, and people will have their preferences, 378 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: and believe me, I don't think there's a wrong answer, 379 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: but I'd like to hear what people are thinking at 380 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: eight five fifty, Um, do you have a preference Steve 381 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: at all? No? Yes? Maybe, Um, you get one of 382 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: these guys healthy the rest of the way, no questions, Okay, 383 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: yeah right now? Or maybe Rousseau, you know, because he's 384 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: out um poorer And I'm almost like I wish Kayer 385 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: Elam was healthy. Well, the good news is we did 386 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: see Kaye Elam dressed for practice today, so hopefully he's 387 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: on the road back as well. That's one guy I 388 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: forgot to mention. He was out there participating, So it's 389 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, the secondary has been iffy healthwise, but I think, 390 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: no question, I think all of us are pleasantly surprised 391 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: at Dane Jackson, Christian Benford, kyer Elam. Of course, Taran 392 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: Johnson's been phenomenal once again this year. I think the 393 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: corners have been great. Poorer in and out of the 394 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: lineup has has caused some problems. You know, I've been 395 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: surprised they played as well as they have, to be 396 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: honest with you, with the youth and the injuries that 397 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: they've sustained. Yeah, they've been a pleasant surprise overall. I 398 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: just there's a part of me that says, well, Edmonds 399 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: has been hurt already, player has been hurt already, Why 400 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: don't we just get Trdavious White back and he's good 401 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: to go the rest of the way. Be nice to 402 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: give him that guarantee. So it's kind of a small 403 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: part of me that feels like last week's game could 404 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: have been different if you had a healthy Tradavious White 405 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: out there. Not saying that he would be, yeah, shutting 406 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: down justin Jefferson, but he's used to those kinds of matchups, 407 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: not if last week was his first game back. I'm 408 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: not saying that, but knowing his history here in a 409 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: Bill's uniform, when he's been asked to follow the people, 410 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: he's done a heck of a job. It might have 411 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: been even different if we've just stayed healthy during the 412 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: game not lost Edmonds Edmonds. Um, Yeah, that's a valid point. 413 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: But you had, like we said, there were three plays 414 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: in that game that went catastrophically wrong for the Bills. 415 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: They were all game stoppers and couldn't get any one 416 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: of them to go your way. That's that's the crusher, 417 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: and there's no and they're completely different play one's offense, 418 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: one's defense to our offense, one's defense, game game enders, 419 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: and they couldn't get either one of them done for 420 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: you know, multitude of reasons. The conspired. Um. So, yeah, 421 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: any difference that could have happened, whether it was Tremaine 422 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: Edmonds or Tredavious, why would have would have might have 423 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: could have made a difference, We should have made a difference. 424 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: Whatever you however you want to phrase, it's those games 425 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: are completely that's a completely frustrating game. Let's go to 426 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: the phones at eight o three fifty two five fifty, 427 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: we go to Jack and Ken Moore First, what do 428 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 1: you got for his Jack? You know, gentlemen, I just 429 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: don't understand what's the big deal. Why don't the NFL 430 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: just move the game? Because they know the weather. They 431 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: look at the weather forecast and they know it's going 432 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: to be snowing here, real bad. And they had the 433 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: players to try to get to the game. People try 434 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: to get to the game, and you know there'll be 435 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: excells all over the place. So just move the babe. 436 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: They cleanland at the weather's not bad. Move the game 437 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: to Detroit. Just move the game. And here's the other 438 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: I do not think White's coming back the rest of 439 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: the year. He's been out so long. I think there's 440 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: another problem there that we don't know about. So that's 441 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: just my opinion about him, and we really need him back. 442 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: But if he hasn't he's been activity for three weeks, 443 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: he hasn't played yet. I don't think he's going to 444 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: play the rest of the year. And let's face it, 445 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: if this car chage staff I said defensively last week 446 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: they did not play good. I don't care what you 447 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: tell me about our defensive coordinator. He did not hit it. 448 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: You don't run eighty one yards. This is not literal 449 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: league football or high school football. This is the NFL. 450 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, and I'll hear for your answer. Bye. Thanks Jack. 451 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: First of all, the reason they don't want to jump 452 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: the gun and move the game is because you don't 453 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: want to display seventy three thousand fans who are tickets 454 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: to pay to come to the game. That's first, You're 455 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: trying to be respectful to the fans that are interested 456 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: in attending the game. Yeah, you got people spending money 457 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: on the game. And I mean we got people tweeting 458 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: at us from North Carolina that are making the trip 459 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: up this weekend saying, hey, what do we do if 460 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: the weather is bad? How do we get up there? Like? 461 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 1: Should we drive? What do we do? So it's I mean, 462 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: it's not just local fans coming to this game, and 463 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: the league is sensitive to that, so they're not just 464 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: gonna display. I mean, Jack, you're probably watching the game 465 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: at home, so it doesn't make a difference to you. 466 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: But for the seventy three thousand people that are coming here, 467 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: on Sunday. It kind of means it's it's a problem 468 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: to move the game even to Detroit, even though it's 469 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: been done. It was a massive undertaking and they probably 470 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: took copious notes about how much money they lost or 471 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: made and moving that game right. And here's the other 472 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, let's face it. I mean they if 473 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: it costs too much money, they ain't gonna do it. 474 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: And I'll say this too. They've got partners in this business, 475 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: the broadcast partners CBS. CBS does not want this game moved. 476 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: CBS AS and Fox would be the same way. They 477 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: want the game in the stadium, and they want it 478 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: actively snowing. They want it as bad of weather conditions 479 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: as you can possibly get. They want an absolute spectacle 480 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: of a game, so they don't want there. They've got 481 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: big time money partners that have a voice in this 482 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: and they would love to have this game take place 483 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: under the adverse conditions we saw in twenty seventeen with 484 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: the snow Globe game. So that's in the mix as well. 485 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: It's not easy just to say wave. You don't just 486 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: make Wave a magic wand and say hey, let's just 487 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: play it in Detroit. You got about as much chance 488 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 1: of that as you do playing the game right here 489 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: in the field house. The other thing that's tricky about 490 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: this is the Bills have a game just four days later. Now. 491 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: Granted it is in Detroit for Thanksgiving, but if you 492 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: remember when they did move the Bills game back in 493 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen against the Jets and moved it to Detroit, 494 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: they also moved it back a day to Monday. That's 495 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: not an option, not when the Bills are playing on 496 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day twelve thirty pm. So those are It's tricky. 497 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: It's very tricky, and we'll have to see how it 498 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: all plays out. You're not happy with the Bills defense, Fine, Jack, 499 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: that's your opinion. Your entitled to it. Um. I don't 500 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: think the defense was the problem last week. You're playing 501 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: an all world receiver with a rookie corner and a 502 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: former seventh round draft choice at cornerback, and I thought 503 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: those guys hung tough. Did Jefferson get his Obviously he 504 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: was the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. I think 505 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: he's the best receiver in football. I really do. Um, 506 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: So there's that. I know you're mad about the eighty 507 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: one yard touchdown run, happen in this league. They flat 508 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: out happened probably once or twice to every team every season. 509 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,719 Speaker 1: Go back to last season, seventy six yards Derrick Henry 510 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: against the number one defense in football. Where were the 511 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: Bills at the end of the year. They were number 512 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: one in the league points allowed, past defense, total defense, 513 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: third down defense. They gave up a seventy six yard 514 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: touchdown run. They happen, Yeah, they just do. The league's 515 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: too good, and they yeah, and they yeah. You can. 516 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: You can base your entire opinion off one bad play 517 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: if you want to, um, but I'll take the other, 518 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, two hundred and fifty two. I mean, I 519 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: guess Jack didn't like the goal line stand at the 520 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: end of the game either on the half inch line. 521 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: How about that? I guess they didn't like that. Didn't 522 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: like that. Kind it goes. It's every team has moments, 523 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: good and bad, and you got to base your opinion 524 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: off all of that. Nobody's gonna play perfect defense in 525 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. The margin of error in a league that 526 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: is this close. Look go look at the conference standings. 527 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: What'd you tell me? Nine teams after nine games have 528 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: five wins or more. Nine teams that's just in the AFC. Yeah, 529 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: nine teams. If you don't think they they understand what 530 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: they're doing to Sean McDermott brought it up today. He 531 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: mentioned in passing the long run they gave up Sunday. 532 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: They don't forget about it. They get it, so they 533 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: work on it to fix it. Yeah, and there's probably 534 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,959 Speaker 1: about fifty reasons why that thing happened the way it 535 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: did not, the least of which was their middle line 536 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: starting middle linebacker was out of the game. So yeah, 537 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: and they're playing on even better back next week. Right, 538 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: you can you can be mad at that, and you 539 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: can belittle the whole staff because of you know, of 540 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,239 Speaker 1: that play. I think that's a mistake myself. We have 541 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: to take a break here because when we come back, 542 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: we got to find out just what the heck the 543 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: latest is on this forecast for this weekend. So major 544 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: snow is supposed to be headed this way via a 545 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: lake effect system that's supposed to be firing up Wednesday 546 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: night into Thursday, and it may be off and on 547 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: from then until kickoff. We'll hear from Mike Psycha, w 548 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: IVB TV meteorologist next here on One Bill's Live stay tuned, 549 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: all right, welcome back, and one Bill's Chris Brown, Steve 550 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: Tasker with you and please to have joining us and 551 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: sacrificing his naptime in the process. Meteorologists for w IVB 552 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: TV Channel four here in Buffalo, Mike Psika, joining us 553 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: to lend some insight as to just what we could 554 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: be in for as the week wears on here and Mike, 555 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: I have to start here. First of all, it is 556 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: a lake effect snow warning. Warning is warning means it 557 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: is coming. A watch means it could happen right. Warning 558 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: means it means that the ingredients are there for in 559 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: the watch, but the warning means it's imminent. I gotta 560 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: tell you, guys before we even get it into the 561 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: forecast for the weekend. I tweeted out the Bills game 562 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: forecast yesterday as it looked yesterday, and I lit a fuse. 563 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: I must have had like about one hundred seventy likes 564 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: or reactions to the tweet about the issue as to 565 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: whether we should have a dome or not an orchard part. 566 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it amazing, Oh my gosh. Yeah, really 567 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: riled up the fan base. Everybody's got everybody got an 568 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: opinion they want to share about that, no question, We're 569 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: just we're because we're all. This is a generation that 570 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: lived through the two fourteen, twenty fifteen s November where 571 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: they move the Bills game to Detroit, and so they 572 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: know this could happen. And of course when we all 573 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: know this too, when it hits is really the key 574 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: ingredient because if it hits at the right time, they 575 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: can they can handle it. But if it doesn't, there's 576 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: no dodge in it. Well, you know, I gotta tell you. Overall, 577 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: the forecast hasn't changed drastically since yesterday. The biggest change, however, 578 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: is that Sunday time frame, and it will benefit the game. 579 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: And I was talking about this on Wake Up this morning, 580 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: and you know, on our new newscast. I mean, it 581 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: still really looks like this Lake effect snow event is 582 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: going to happen. It's really gonna pound downtown and the 583 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: south Hounds joined the day on Friday. The Northowns are 584 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: probably gonna get off the hook to some extent, and 585 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: at that point, Orchard Park is going to be getting 586 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: a pretty decent dose of snow. I know. I sent 587 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: your producer some maps, some graphics here. I mean, basically, 588 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: we have that warning and effect for southern Erie County, 589 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: but I don't know if if you have an other 590 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: map that actually shows the snowfall amounts. We have a 591 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: map that actually compares the model, the computer model guidance 592 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: between the US domestic product and also the European and 593 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: you can see that the pink shaded area is obviously 594 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: going to be the heaviest hit zone for the snowfall. 595 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: The one on the left is the US domestic models 596 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: painting twenty inches for Buffalo and the European on the 597 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: right there is placing twenty three inches at op at 598 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: him mark for by the game time. Okay, but the 599 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: change in the forecast is that this Lake Effect snow 600 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: band it's going to do some zigging and zagon. I 601 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: mean Friday, I think it's going to be pretty steady, 602 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: stained over downtown, impacting the south towns, but they're on Saturday, 603 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: it's going to push northward. In fact, the snow is 604 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: going to end at Orchard Park on Saturday, and by 605 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: that point they could at least be i'd say maybe 606 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: a foot and a half to maybe two feet of snow. 607 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some shoveling necessary, that's for sure. 608 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: And then we get into Sunday with that lake effect 609 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 1: snowman starting out after midnight actually up to the north 610 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: of Buffalo, starts to sweep southward, but it weekends rapidly, 611 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: so it kind of looks like there's not going to 612 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 1: be much of that left buying game time. I mean, 613 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: there may be a few snow showers out here, but 614 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: nothing that we can't handle. I think the biggest issue 615 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: here is the removal of the snow that comes down Friday, 616 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: Friday night, and maybe very early on Saturday. So they're 617 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna have all day, all the daylight hours of Saturday 618 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: to get the stadium ready for Sunday. Thinking anything that 619 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: comes down after that's going to be negligible, Yeah, I 620 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: would say so, I mean, nothing that we can't handle effect. 621 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: I think the snowman at one point over the weekend 622 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: on Saturday evening get up into Niagara County Saturday afternoon 623 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: and evening so and then it starts to sweep back southward. 624 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: But at least all the guidance seems to point to 625 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: the fact that this is going to weekend greatly. As 626 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: it moves back southward on Sunday, so you know, hopefully 627 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: things are gonna be pretty decent. One thing is pretty certain, though, 628 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a brisk breeze about ten twenty 629 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: miles prior out of the west, maybe some gusts to 630 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: about thirty miles prior at the stadium Sunday afternoon. So 631 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: we're used to that, right, right. So, so Mike with 632 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: this lake effects snow warning UM for Cattaraugus in Chautaqua Counties, 633 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: it actually starts tonight and runs through Tomorrow night for them, 634 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, for nor for southern Erie County it's tonight 635 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: through Saturday, and for northern Eury County it's Thursday night 636 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: through Sunday. I can't I can't remember seeing lake effects 637 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: snow warning spanning three or four days. That just seems 638 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 1: like such a long stretch. How often does that happen? 639 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a frequent thing, but when all 640 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: the computer guidance is really kind of locked in and 641 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: very consistent day to day, and that's what we look for. 642 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I get really nervous as a forecaster when 643 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: the computer tells me one thing one day that it 644 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: tells me something entirely different than next, I get really 645 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: skittish about the forecast, but if there's a lot of 646 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: consistency there, And I got to tell you, guys, I 647 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: mean this was starting to show up last week. I 648 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: was talking about this even last week, that there was 649 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: the potential for some meandering lake effect snow across western 650 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: New York as we got into this week, and you know, 651 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: sure enough, the models really haven't changed. The only like 652 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: I said, the biggest change is the fact that I 653 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: think the heaviest of this lake effect snow banks going 654 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: to start to fizzle up by the time it hits 655 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: the stadium Sunday afternoon. You know, some people ask me, 656 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: they say, well, how come the forecast change, Well, the 657 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: closer you get to the event, there's always more weather 658 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: information coming in. And the assumption is is that the 659 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: very latest computer guidance is hopefully going to be the 660 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: most accurate because it's actually closer to the time period 661 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: you try to forecast. For rights, that makes a lot 662 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: of sense. I mean, you just know what's going to 663 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: happen in the next ten minutes more than you know 664 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the next ten days. Sure, exactly, 665 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: But you know, there really hasn't been a lot lot 666 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 1: of changes in this forecast, even back in the last week. 667 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: So Mike, at its worst, we're talking like two to 668 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 1: three inches an hour potentially in the heaviest areas. Yeah, 669 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: especially on Friday. You know, all p might be kind 670 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: of like on the southern fringe of the heaviest of 671 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: the snow. There may be a slight jog up to 672 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 1: the north Drake Friday. I think essentially the wind direction 673 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 1: that steers and stuff is not going to be changing 674 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: a lot during Friday. So you know, basically we're talking 675 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: to the south Hounds and also up into downtown Buffalo. 676 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be a lot falling in 677 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 1: the North Towns on Friday. It may briefly brush that area, 678 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: but the North Towns really getting its hit as we 679 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,479 Speaker 1: get into the Saturday time frame. And then the last 680 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: thing that I had for you was I saw that 681 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: the lake is like the warmest it's ever been this 682 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: time of year, like fifty five degrees. As the warmth 683 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: of the lake enhance the snow making potential or does 684 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: the temperature not have anything to do with it? No, 685 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: it sure it does. The greater the difference between the 686 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,879 Speaker 1: water temperature and the air that's moving upstairs in the atmosphere. 687 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 1: It makes the atmosphere that much more unstable, and that's 688 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 1: going to be the situation. In fact, you know, on Friday, 689 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: we might even have some thunder snow going on. It's 690 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: thunder snow. I think I'm putting in for a vacation. 691 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to take the weekend and go go somewhere. 692 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's well listen right, yeah, listen, Mike. 693 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,439 Speaker 1: We appreciate you bringing us up to speed. That's good 694 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 1: that there's probably not going to be as much happening 695 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: during the game. That's certainly a plus. I'm sure the 696 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: players are happy to know that, especially know when we 697 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: want Josh to be able to throw the ball. So 698 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: that's a positive. And thanks for bringing us up to 699 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: speed on what we got to prepare for here.

What do you got for us? Dan 763 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: Gad the little gentlemen. You guys have been extolling the 764 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: morass of Brandon Bean and deservedly so. My question is, 765 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: at this stage in their careers, how would you compare 766 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean to Hall of Famer Bill Polian? I think 767 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: of von Miller as his accusation and years ago the 768 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 1: acquisitions of Corn Cornelius Benish. And one second question, do 769 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: you know what the commercial TV situation is going to 770 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,919 Speaker 1: be for the game on September first Thursday? I guess 771 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: Ywood very much. Okay, yeah, sure thing, Dan, Thanks for 772 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 1: the call. First of all, Bill Polian was a six 773 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 1: time NFL Executive of the Year. That's a pretty steep 774 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: resume to have to measure up to. I will confidently 775 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: say Brandon Bean is the best general manager of this 776 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: team has had since Bill Pollium, and I don't even 777 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 1: think it's close. He was named Executive of the Year 778 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: last year Brandon Bean was, so he's got one after only, 779 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: what was that his fifth year on the job, and 780 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,800 Speaker 1: he just signed a contract extension, so he figures to 781 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: be here for a long time. One of the things 782 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 1: that gave Bill Polian the ability to be a six 783 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: time Executive of the Year was that he switched teams 784 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: once or twice. Yeah, And doing that he built the 785 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, got them to the NFC Championship Game in 786 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: its second year. Of existence. He was their executive. Then 787 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: he went to Indianapolis drafted Peyton Manning and you know 788 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,439 Speaker 1: that helps that as well. What a Super Bowl went 789 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: to two And you can say this, though we've all 790 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 1: been there, we've seen how difficult it is to draft 791 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 1: the right guy, even when he's sitting there right in 792 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: front of you, and you've got choices you can make 793 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,720 Speaker 1: your you know, the Baker Mayfields and the Sam Darnold's, 794 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: the Josh Allen's, the Lamar the Lamar A Jacksons, and 795 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: the sa Sam Darnold and Josh Rosens of the world. 796 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: You know, So it's hard to pick the right guy 797 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: when there's more than one guy there, particularly in a 798 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: draft with Peyton Manning. And you can say what you 799 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: want about Ryan Leaf when he was in college. That 800 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: guy checked all the boxes. So making choices like that 801 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: get you executive of the year building franchises the way 802 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: he did, and let's face it, the Indianapolis franchise was 803 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: and also ran until Bill got there. Yeah, Carolina went 804 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: to the NFL the championship game in their second year 805 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,280 Speaker 1: on a roster that was completely built by Bill Polian, 806 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: and the Bills were a franchise that around his tenure 807 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: all the way around. His tenure was mediocre at best. 808 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: So Brandon Bean has certainly matched the roster moves and 809 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 1: the building process that Build was able to do. But 810 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: he's done it once. Build it like three times with 811 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: three different franchises. So it's a long way to go 812 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: and give him time. But in his tenure here, it's 813 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: hard to kind of match a team that went to 814 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,439 Speaker 1: four straight Super Bowls. Yeah, but he was also doing well. Yeah. 815 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,280 Speaker 1: He was also asking about the bills upcoming Amazon Prime 816 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,839 Speaker 1: game on December first, the week after the Thanksgiving game, 817 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: the one that's on December first against the Patriots. As 818 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: I understand it, games are supposed to be broadcast in 819 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: the local markets on over the air television. I believe 820 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: that's what I remember. I will double check, but yes, 821 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,840 Speaker 1: that is an Amazon game. The Yeah, it's on Channel 822 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: four here in Buffalo. I don't know what the situation. 823 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,320 Speaker 1: If you remember, the Bills were on the opening Thursday 824 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 1: night game, but it was not on Prime. It was 825 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,760 Speaker 1: only on it was normal. They didn't start the Prime 826 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,280 Speaker 1: broadcast for another week or two, a week two, So nevertheless, 827 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: you still should be able to get it on on 828 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 1: channel four Channel four the week the Thursday after Thanksgiving. 829 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 1: So and I read too, It's it's easy to forget. 830 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: The Bills play this game Sunday, then they play Thursday, 831 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 1: and then they play the next Thursday. There's no mini 832 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: buy or anything. Well, they'll get a mini buy after 833 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 1: the Patriots. After these next three games, they get a 834 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: mini buy. So you just gotta hope, like heck, that 835 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 1: there are no injuries coming out of this game, no 836 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: new injuries coming out this game, because the turnaround is 837 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: if you get nicked in this game, you're done for 838 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 1: the Thursday game. Yeah, that's just you can't recover fast. 839 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: Usually Thursdays the first day you even feel like you 840 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: can practice again, let alone play a game. Depending on 841 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 1: where you are in your career. Yeah, you know, as 842 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 1: a as a young kid, a youngster, and he kind 843 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: of bounce back and you already go on Wednesday, you know. 844 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, let's go. But the older you 845 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 1: get and the more miles you have on your on 846 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: your chassis, it takes a couple of extra days to 847 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 1: get to where you feel like you can go again. 848 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones and we go to 849 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: Kate in Albany. I believe, Kate. What do you have 850 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 1: for us? You're on one? Hold on, Kate, what do 851 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,839 Speaker 1: you got for us? You're on one. Bill's Live. Hey, 852 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,800 Speaker 1: I've got an offense question for you. I was wondering 853 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: if you think it's possible the Bill spend too much 854 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: time in the shotgun rather than under center, you know, 855 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 1: even when it's third and short, fourth and short, and 856 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 1: whether that may have contributed to the fumble in the 857 00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 1: end zone. Yeah, that's good. That's a good question about 858 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: the fumble in the end zone. I think there are 859 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 1: more things at work than not having enough reps on 860 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 1: that fumble in the end zone. But I like, but 861 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: you're right, they do spend a ton of time in 862 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: the shotgun. And for those people who wonder what the 863 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:20,839 Speaker 1: big deal is when you're in the shotgun, it's the 864 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,839 Speaker 1: play action fakes aren't really as effective as they are 865 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,760 Speaker 1: when the quarterback is under center, when your run game 866 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,879 Speaker 1: is just a little bit harder to execute and get 867 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: an edge in after the ball is snapped than it 868 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 1: is when you're under center, because when the quarterback takes 869 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 1: the ball and turns his back to the defense in 870 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: order to hand it off or to move in the pocket. 871 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: That tells the defense a lot of things about what's 872 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 1: going on, particularly with their offensive line. They can watch 873 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,400 Speaker 1: what the offensive lines doing, and they watch the quarterback 874 00:48:54,440 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 1: in the backfield action. When you're in shotgun, most of 875 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 1: the time you'll see the offensive line, you know, the 876 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: tackles or whatever. They'll all be in two point stances 877 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 1: rather than they have their hand on the ground. It's 878 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: much harder to fire out. It's much harder to give 879 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:17,239 Speaker 1: a play fake. That's believable when you're in shotgun. There's 880 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 1: a lot that goes into it. But you're right. I 881 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: think it does have an effect on the defense and 882 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: their ability to anticipate and key a run play as 883 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,399 Speaker 1: opposed to a pass play. That's why most teams throw 884 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: out a shotgun instead of run it. Now they do both. 885 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: And the Bills not only do shotguns, Steve, they do 886 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,359 Speaker 1: a fair amount of shotgun with an empty set. Yeah, 887 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: so you know it's a pass, right, there's nothing else 888 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,799 Speaker 1: they can do. Now with Josh, there's always a chance 889 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,880 Speaker 1: he could run it. But with the Bills, and I 890 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: think most defenses feel this. If he's in the shotgun empty, 891 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 1: the only he's it's a throw, it's a pass play called, 892 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 1: but he may run it. That's a plus for the Bills, 893 00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 1: but it's also a predictability for the defense, so they 894 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: can kind of key on it and have a and 895 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: it'll affect their line calls because they're not gonna do 896 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: some stunts, certain stunts that they want to do, knowing 897 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 1: that he'll just pull it down and run it. Now, 898 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,359 Speaker 1: he can do that anytime, but when there's a four 899 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 1: man rush or a five or you know, or a 900 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: normal rush three man or four man rush, it's a 901 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 1: factor in how they rush. So because of Josh and 902 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: because it's empty. Yeah, it's a good question. How much 903 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 1: you use shotgun is a thing. It's something you got 904 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: to keep track of. It's something you got to keep 905 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: track of because it really affects the way the defense 906 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 1: views your offense, and if it affects how they view it, 907 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: it affects how they call their defenses and how it 908 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 1: affects how they play. So you got to know what 909 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 1: that is. We will take a break here, but when 910 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: come back, we've got more of your phone calls coming. 911 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 1: We also hope to have some fresh off the field 912 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,439 Speaker 1: updates as practice wraps up. We'll keep you posted on that. 913 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: But all of that, including your phone calls coming your way. 914 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,879 Speaker 1: Next to on One Bills Live, presented by Kalaida Health, 915 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:21,399 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

You get to pick a 927 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,959 Speaker 1: player on defense to be that guaranteed healthy player. Who 928 00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 1: would you want it to be?

What you 932 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,879 Speaker 1: got first Kevin, Hey, guys, how are you doing? Thanks 933 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 1: for taking my call here. Two things I want to say, first, 934 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 1: Andrew question, Definitely trund Avious because he's one of the 935 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: best corners and the best always covered the best. He 936 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,040 Speaker 1: always covered the best, just like in the past the 937 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 1: best legends like Daryl Green always covered the best, and 938 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 1: Mel Blount and the Steelers covered the best. That would 939 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 1: be definitely my guaranteed. And the second thing I want 940 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: to bring up. You ever see a Lway to Mario 941 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:43,239 Speaker 1: draft that sometimes I'm thirty for thirty, Yes, would him? 942 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 1: Is something that Marino would have gone to Pittsburgh his 943 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 1: home team because he always loved Pittsburgh, that he grew 944 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: up watching Bradshaw. And that means in a way, the 945 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: Bills wouldn't have had to deal with the twice a year. 946 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: I know what we're taking away from the Marino Kelly 947 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 1: feud that we all know of here in Western New York, 948 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,399 Speaker 1: but not only had to play him to be play 949 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:05,680 Speaker 1: that division, and that's wouldn't have been some way. One 950 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 1: way would have been something I can also tell you, Uh, 951 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 1: that's another draft that the Jets screwed up because they 952 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 1: passed on Marino and took Ken O'Brien. So just just 953 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,320 Speaker 1: so he could have been in the division with the 954 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,719 Speaker 1: Jets because they passed on him and took Ken O'Brien. 955 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 1: What would have happened to the Jets if they'd drafted 956 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,200 Speaker 1: Marino Probably not much different. They would have found a 957 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,640 Speaker 1: way to them. They would have unbelievable. But yes, we 958 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,000 Speaker 1: have seen that. So thanks for the call, Kevin, appreciate it. Um. Yeah, 959 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 1: vote for Tradevious and I would kind of want to 960 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: almost be able to, you know, give give Trade Avious 961 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 1: that power, you know, just wishless day here. I dub 962 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,439 Speaker 1: you healthy for the rest of the season guaranteed. Would 963 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 1: that be great to be able to just go to 964 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 1: a player, Yeah, touch him on the shoulder. You have 965 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,240 Speaker 1: been guaranteed full health for the rest of the twenty 966 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 1: to injury regular season and playoffs. Godspeed. Yeah, and then 967 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 1: just send him on his way to be fantastic. Back 968 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: to the phones into Aaron in Virginia. What do you 969 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 1: got for us? Aaron? Are you guys doing Hey? Just 970 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 1: a quick answer your question. I'm calling him blind, so 971 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 1: I want to apologize for that. Um. Hands down, Micah Hide. 972 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,560 Speaker 1: He hits really hard. When he's covering the run game 973 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,479 Speaker 1: he has he makes great, great cuts to the running back. 974 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,439 Speaker 1: And I mean just this last game, he's he's come. 975 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: He's become adjusted to knocking down the ball after the hill. Murray, 976 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 1: you know he and even h I think player last 977 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,319 Speaker 1: year had an interception. I'm fourth down and they got 978 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,479 Speaker 1: the ball on like the ten yard line and set 979 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: up like on the in the opposite end of the field. Um. 980 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to mention, I don't know 981 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,319 Speaker 1: if it's been brought up today, um, but everybody keeps 982 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,320 Speaker 1: bringing up this narrative how the Bills lose close games, 983 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,280 Speaker 1: and I think it's being looked at the wrong way. 984 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 1: It's not that we lose close all the close games. 985 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 1: Is that when we we win, we always win. Or sorry, 986 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,799 Speaker 1: when we lose, we only lose by a little bit. 987 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: It's because the builds are so good. They're either blown 988 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 1: out teams or their stand tight to the games so 989 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 1: they're able to keep keep a close eye. Maybe they'll 990 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,759 Speaker 1: pull it out, maybe not, but those one s four 991 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,400 Speaker 1: games are always a I like that. I like that. 992 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 1: I like that perspective. Aaron, and thanks for the call. 993 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 1: I will say this, you have three losses by eight points, 994 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: and Steve looked up what the combined record of those 995 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,640 Speaker 1: opponents are. You got the Jets at six and three, 996 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,359 Speaker 1: you got the Vikings at eight and one, and you've 997 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,359 Speaker 1: got Miami Miami at seven and three. So that's seven 998 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 1: to three, eight and one in six and three. So 999 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,920 Speaker 1: that's a combined seven losses. And help me with the math. Eight, 1000 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 1: seven and six, that's thirteen plus eight's twenty one and seven. 1001 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 1: Total record. Twenty one and seven is the record of 1002 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,399 Speaker 1: the three opponents they lost to collectively. Yeah, they've lost 1003 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: some really good teams. They were all nail biters and 1004 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 1: they all feel like they gave. You feel like the 1005 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 1: Bills lost those three games with you know, they beat 1006 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: themselves and small with small things and one play here, 1007 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,240 Speaker 1: one play there. Um, they are the team we thought 1008 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 1: they were at the beginning of this season, despite the injuries, 1009 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 1: despite the roster shuffling that has had to happen. They 1010 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: are really tough to beat and that's going to continue 1011 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 1: every when you have a game like you did this 1012 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: last week and two of them in a row in fact, um, 1013 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: that's you know, it just exacerbates or makes you exaggerate 1014 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 1: or maybe split hairs as to what their flaws might be, 1015 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: trying to find some whispy little shadow of this thing 1016 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 1: that the Bills have mentally going on, where they lose 1017 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: their minds in close games or something. I think that's 1018 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,839 Speaker 1: that's farcical. Yeah, I think it's farcical. They're they're a 1019 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 1: hard team to beat, really hard team to beat. To 1020 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 1: eat them, sometimes they have to beat themselves and then 1021 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 1: you can barely beat. Every team who's beating them has 1022 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: needed help, has needed help. Um, So that's and that's 1023 00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 1: been that way for two or three years now. So 1024 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,800 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure this is exactly the kind of team 1025 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,920 Speaker 1: the Bills fans thought they were going to get. They 1026 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: thought they had a team that could win and go 1027 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 1: to and win the Super Bowl. They still got that team. 1028 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: They still got that team, and in a lot of 1029 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: these games they're winning, and then some of them they're 1030 00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 1: losing is because of things out of their control like injuries, 1031 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 1: so that have hamstrung them. So I'm I'm all about 1032 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 1: this team. Still, I think they're the team to beat. 1033 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 1: They've got a two game losing streak, They're still the 1034 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 1: team to beat, still a team to be let's go 1035 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 1: back to the phones and to John and Niagara Falls. 1036 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,760 Speaker 1: What do you got for us? John? Hey, guys, just 1037 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 1: to answer your question. First, to me, it's Matt Milano. 1038 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 1: I can't think of anybody who makes more consistent big 1039 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: play every week than Matt Milama when it terrifies me 1040 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: when he's not out there. Okay. Also to thing about 1041 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 1: Josh recently, what concerns me is he saw he threw 1042 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: those interceptions right to people as if he didn't see them. 1043 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 1: A lot of those interceptions and in the red zone. 1044 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,280 Speaker 1: Also over the last month, have you noticed hom many 1045 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,800 Speaker 1: tipped balls and batted balls there have been at the 1046 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 1: line compared to the past. So yeah, I mean there 1047 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 1: have been some. I could go back and look and 1048 00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: see if there are more than usual, But I'm I'm 1049 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 1: just wondering if defenses have changed and said, why do 1050 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,479 Speaker 1: we chase this guy? He's big, he shrugs us off, 1051 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: he's tough to tackle. Let's make it difficult for him 1052 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 1: to pass when we get to the line and Steve, 1053 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 1: you know there's ways to do that. Do you think 1054 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: they may be shifting a little bit on Josh towards 1055 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,960 Speaker 1: that instead of saying, hey, why let him run us over. 1056 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 1: Let's you know, stay at the line and they can hurt. Yeah, maybe, 1057 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 1: I think maybe, But yeah, I think guys are still 1058 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,160 Speaker 1: trying to sack him, trying to get in on him, 1059 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,200 Speaker 1: and maybe they're more aware of trying to bat it 1060 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 1: down because that's a thing in the league now. I 1061 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: don't think the Bills are more victims of it than 1062 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: anybody else's, though. I think that's a thing with defensive 1063 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 1: Lineman's a technique that you know, it was started back 1064 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 1: in the seventies with Ed two tall Jones. Now everybody's 1065 00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 1: doing it, and it's a it's a skill set that 1066 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,920 Speaker 1: they teach, coach and expect their players to do, especially 1067 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 1: against offenses that get the ball out fast. You know 1068 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,160 Speaker 1: tah and the Dolphins, they get the ball out lightning fast, 1069 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 1: and defenses the last few weeks have been resigned to 1070 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,120 Speaker 1: just putting their hands up to try to bat passes 1071 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: down against him, to kind of foil their passing gaming 1072 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,439 Speaker 1: get him in second and ten or whatever. So it's 1073 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 1: not just Josh. I think a lot of times when 1074 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 1: you're facing an offense that gets the ball out fast, 1075 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 1: whether it was Brady with the Patriots for so many 1076 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,640 Speaker 1: years or a slew of other teams. They try to 1077 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 1: close down the first read or get their defensive linemen 1078 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: up the field and get their hands up so they 1079 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 1: can get hands in passing lanes to force incompletions if 1080 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 1: they know they're not going to get home in time 1081 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 1: to get a sack. And sometimes it works in a 1082 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 1: given week, uncommonly well, and sometimes you don't have success. 1083 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes he throws it right between your hands and he's like, 1084 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: oh my god, you know I got two hands up 1085 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: and he put it right between. It happens pertaining to 1086 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 1: your interception comment. Yes, Josh did not see defenders at times. 1087 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,040 Speaker 1: He told us after the Jets game he never saw 1088 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: Jordan Whitehead because he was hidden behind the defensive end 1089 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 1: who was running into his face. He never saw the guy, 1090 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 1: so he thought lofting it to Dawson Knox was a 1091 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: safe play, and all of a sudden, there's a defender 1092 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 1: there hedn't see when he threw the ball. That does happen, 1093 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,360 Speaker 1: even for tall lineman, when a defender is in your 1094 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 1: face and reducing your field of vision. And that's what 1095 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: happened in the Jets game. I don't know if it 1096 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 1: happened last week, although Patrick Peterson runs out of bounds 1097 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:56,520 Speaker 1: with Isaiah McKenzie on the first interception, Isaiah is stuck 1098 01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,400 Speaker 1: out of bounds with Patrick Peterson's like, well, I'm coming 1099 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 1: back on the field. We're still defending. Patrick Peterson did 1100 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: the exact same thing to Josh Allen that Jordan Poyer 1101 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 1: did to Pat Mahomes to close out the game in 1102 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City. He snuck in off an outside receiver and 1103 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 1: fell back in and followed Mahomes eyes and just felt 1104 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 1: like he was going to throw the football. And that's 1105 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 1: what Peterson did. He's a veteran player and just like 1106 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 1: just like um Jordan Poyer, like Jordan Poyer is and 1107 01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:30,960 Speaker 1: Terren Johnson when he slides in, so they do that. Yeah, 1108 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,560 Speaker 1: we are going to turn to the post practice podium now. 1109 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 1: As Josh Allen is addressing the media following his limited 1110 01:01:38,480 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 1: participation in practice today. Hey, okay, whether it's just you know, 1111 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 1: often kind of picked it out and whether you get 1112 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: him go or gate every like that has effected if 1113 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 1: he's good or maybe every's good in the path running game. 1114 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 1: You have a next every body into this game with it, 1115 01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: you know. Fortuately this past week, those are like, great example, 1116 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,680 Speaker 1: it's maybe part of what you're going through the result 1117 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 1: of some of that and how do you open up 1118 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: or reopen some of those other periods. No, I think 1119 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,760 Speaker 1: it's almost the opposite. Again, just me making smart decisions 1120 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,240 Speaker 1: gonna help everything else. Um, you know, sometimes allowing our 1121 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 1: checkdown game to be our run game. Um, you know, 1122 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,120 Speaker 1: things aren't going particularly great in that aspect. But again, 1123 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,840 Speaker 1: we've got guys that are hungry, guys that are working 1124 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,440 Speaker 1: each and every day, and Coach Dorsey's gonna find a 1125 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,680 Speaker 1: game plan that suits us best and we're gonna go 1126 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 1: to try and attack. And again, if it calls for 1127 01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 1: forty passes in the game, if it calls for forty 1128 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 1: runs in a game, that's that's what our team is 1129 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 1: willing to do. We got a lot of guys that 1130 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,720 Speaker 1: just just won win football game. So that's uh, that's 1131 01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:02,880 Speaker 1: our mindset with that. About playing on a podcast, saw 1132 01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 1: how he predicted to new was coming. Is that something 1133 01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:08,919 Speaker 1: that just something happens every week you know guys. Yeah, 1134 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 1: I mean something that does make you go back and say, hey, 1135 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,920 Speaker 1: maybe that's something you need to tweak a little. Oh yeah, 1136 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 1: that's a that's an all pro vet cornerback that's played 1137 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 1: a long time this league. He's probably seen everything that 1138 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 1: anybody can throw at him making a play. Um, but 1139 01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 1: again we can we can do something different and again 1140 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 1: I can find a checkdown or I can and tuck 1141 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,080 Speaker 1: it and run and not try to force the ball there. Um. 1142 01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,680 Speaker 1: But again that's you know, you're gonna have guys in 1143 01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,560 Speaker 1: this league that you know that can do things like 1144 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,400 Speaker 1: that and that that watch film and again have been 1145 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 1: around the league for a long time. So um, maybe 1146 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 1: just picking and choosing when to throw out that guy. Um, Yeah, 1147 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,640 Speaker 1: he made a good played. It is what it is there. 1148 01:03:52,200 --> 01:04:05,680 Speaker 1: But about I mean, I think they it could if 1149 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,960 Speaker 1: you let it. Um, And I trusted what I was 1150 01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 1: told by you know, our strength staff, and they did 1151 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,000 Speaker 1: such a good job of allowing me to be in 1152 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,160 Speaker 1: that training room, um hours on end. You know, they 1153 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 1: they helped me, you know Jomka, you know, whether it's 1154 01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,440 Speaker 1: stretching me out modalities, Tobe Nate, I mean really everybody 1155 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,680 Speaker 1: in there. Um, anything I needed I pretty much got 1156 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,680 Speaker 1: and they were on top of everything. So I appreciate 1157 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,600 Speaker 1: all the work that they put in for me to 1158 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 1: get back out there. Um. But no, when I'm on 1159 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,440 Speaker 1: the field. I mean, it's it's all about you know, 1160 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 1: the game and just trying to win a football game. 1161 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:52,520 Speaker 1: And um, that's that's about it. It'll get to a 1162 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: point you know where it's back to back to normal, um, 1163 01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 1: and I don't feel it and don't have to worry 1164 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,080 Speaker 1: about it. But until that that time comes, Yeah, just 1165 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 1: being smart with it and making sure I'm not you know, 1166 01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 1: doing anything stupid and walkthroughs and um, not throwing it 1167 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: very hard, you know, and just staying in the in 1168 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:21,440 Speaker 1: the training room and still getting treatment on it. Um. No, 1169 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't impact my preparation. Again, we got Case you 1170 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 1: know and Matt that are stepping in and whether they're 1171 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 1: throwing for me or um doing all that stuff. We 1172 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 1: got vets that understand it. And again just making sure 1173 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 1: that I'm going through each rep in my mind and um, 1174 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,680 Speaker 1: you know, the training training staff has me on you know, 1175 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 1: specific plan that will follow and um, you know that's 1176 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of up to them, but we'll trust him 1177 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:55,680 Speaker 1: with that. Again, went into that decision and these are 1178 01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:00,440 Speaker 1: such a creature that really off at all. I mean 1179 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it did. I think you know, 1180 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,600 Speaker 1: we came out and we're pretty much firing on all 1181 01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 1: cylinders early in early in that game, um, you know, 1182 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: And the decision was just, you know, I don't need 1183 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,760 Speaker 1: to be throwing um as many balls really and I'll 1184 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,520 Speaker 1: get my warm ups right before the game. So that's 1185 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 1: that's really all was no idea, Well, we'll see, we'll 1186 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 1: see you jo to block out during a week? Is 1187 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 1: it even possible to block out the noise of a 1188 01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 1: week like last week? Whenever? Way you look, it's always 1189 01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 1: gonna play, always not gonna play. Oh, it's long. Oh 1190 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: it's like there were so many opinions out there. How 1191 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,920 Speaker 1: do you possibly block all of that out? Yeah? I didn't. Honestly, 1192 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: I didn't know what people were saying because I knew 1193 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,240 Speaker 1: in my mind what was gonna happen. Um, that's that's 1194 01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,200 Speaker 1: all I cared about. I had one goal in mind, 1195 01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,480 Speaker 1: and I was playing the game and again for a 1196 01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 1: lot of hours in that in that training room, um 1197 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 1: to be able to play. So I didn't really care 1198 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,959 Speaker 1: what anybody else was saying. Crazy weather games here before 1199 01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:00,960 Speaker 1: so much. So now that might change, how Yeah, Yeah, 1200 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean that's remains to be seen, I guess in 1201 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,040 Speaker 1: terms of how much snow we get in the next 1202 01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 1: few days. And you know, if we don't get any 1203 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 1: snow on game day, that's it is what it is. 1204 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 1: But I'm sure the surrounding area of the field is 1205 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 1: gonna be pretty snowy. But um, I'm just trying to 1206 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:17,800 Speaker 1: make sure I'm letting everybody in the locker room know, 1207 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,640 Speaker 1: especially some of these rookies that have never driven in 1208 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: snow before, kind of what to do. We got ice 1209 01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,840 Speaker 1: scrapers in front there for our guys to take home. Um, 1210 01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 1: just to be safe and and drive with caution, spot challenges, ution, whatever. 1211 01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:42,000 Speaker 1: What gives you the confidence that in in the face 1212 01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 1: of question whirlovers, but you are are capable of this. 1213 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: The guys in the locker room, the coaching staff that 1214 01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 1: we've got the faith that they have in me and 1215 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,360 Speaker 1: understand that I got to have that trust in them. 1216 01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 1: And um, you know, the ball is the most important 1217 01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:58,919 Speaker 1: thing in this building, and that's what we talk about 1218 01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 1: in our meeting rooms. Coach Dermott talks about it. Um, 1219 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 1: you know that that ball is everybody's family in your hands. 1220 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 1: So just you know, getting back to that mindset and 1221 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:17,040 Speaker 1: just making smarter decisions games and no I'm again just 1222 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 1: go out and play football the way and ought to play. Yeah. 1223 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,240 Speaker 1: I think you know one thing, especially as talking with guys. 1224 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:37,840 Speaker 1: You know, if I see a route and like I 1225 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,080 Speaker 1: throw a ball, Um, if I slap my hands and 1226 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 1: it's like what was he too wide? Was he this? 1227 01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, ad I'd seem a little wide, runs over 1228 01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,880 Speaker 1: and talks to him right away, and um, you know 1229 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 1: after meetings like hey, this guy's feeling this way like 1230 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 1: that's that's so he's very intuitive. He really knows how 1231 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 1: to talk to people. Um. And he's been great for me, 1232 01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,600 Speaker 1: you know in that in that quarterback room, and you know, 1233 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,240 Speaker 1: as well as having Barkley act. So we have a 1234 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,760 Speaker 1: lot of fun in our room. Um. But you know, 1235 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,759 Speaker 1: two guys that can be extremely serious and very professional 1236 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 1: when they need to be a little bit of both. Yeah, 1237 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: I've seen video of it, but I really think the 1238 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 1: only guy that was here maybe you have been Dion 1239 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 1: in Trey. Um. So I know it's someone said it 1240 01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 1: was like seven or eight years to the date almost 1241 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 1: um when that happened. So yeah, well, well I guess 1242 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 1: we'll find out. I guess all right.

We turn now to the post practice 1265 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 1: podium where von Miller is addressing the media. I wouldn't say, 1266 01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 1: I just I pour guys to the side and like 1267 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 1: say it, I just that's just who I am. And 1268 01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,439 Speaker 1: I feel like that's my internal belief and to be honest, 1269 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,759 Speaker 1: it hasn't always been like that. You know, my early 1270 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 1: days the differ Bronco and especially like into my second contract, 1271 01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,680 Speaker 1: like losses are just so depressing, you know, and you 1272 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,960 Speaker 1: don't see any light at the end of the tunnel 1273 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,640 Speaker 1: at all, and you know it's it's tough, you know, 1274 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:32,640 Speaker 1: but you know here it's not like that. You know, 1275 01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 1: we got a great team, you know, at the end 1276 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,000 Speaker 1: of the day, realistically, we got a great dream. I mean, 1277 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 1: you got a great team. So I mean earlier you're like, 1278 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, I guess you would be more depressed or 1279 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:46,280 Speaker 1: more upset than usual because you really don't at your core, 1280 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 1: you really don't know how you're gonna win games on 1281 01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, tough teams. You know, you're struggling on the offense, 1282 01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,280 Speaker 1: struggling on defense, and it's hard to really put that 1283 01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 1: into perspective to you know, go and win games, especially 1284 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, in the upcoming weeks. But here it's not 1285 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,280 Speaker 1: like that. You know, we got Josh Allen, got a 1286 01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,280 Speaker 1: great defense, We've got great coaches here. I've always had 1287 01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:06,160 Speaker 1: great coaches. Um, we gotta, we just gotta. We just 1288 01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,479 Speaker 1: have a great you know, a team built up, and 1289 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:10,919 Speaker 1: you know, I just like to put things into perspective 1290 01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: and it's a little bit easier for me. This is 1291 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 1: my twelfth year. Um. Now I've been here before twice, 1292 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,360 Speaker 1: maybe maybe even more than a three times, you know, Um, 1293 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:24,200 Speaker 1: And it's just you know, it's it is what it is, 1294 01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,320 Speaker 1: just because I'm just because I'm positive and you know, 1295 01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,439 Speaker 1: I'm not upset about it and you know, up here 1296 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,720 Speaker 1: giving a press conference. No, we just gotta, you know, 1297 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,840 Speaker 1: do better. And I don't know, uh, just because I'm 1298 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,719 Speaker 1: not doing that doesn't mean like, you know, I'm okay 1299 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 1: with what's going on. You know, I just have a 1300 01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,559 Speaker 1: firm belief in my teammates, firm belief in myself, um, 1301 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,880 Speaker 1: and a firm belief in this organization that we'll be 1302 01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 1: able to get this thing turned around. For the good yeah, 1303 01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,080 Speaker 1: of course. Um, you know it's just later by Nick Chubb, 1304 01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:01,360 Speaker 1: of course. Um. And this line for sure, and I'm 1305 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,759 Speaker 1: sure Nick rud would say the same. This this offensive 1306 01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,200 Speaker 1: line is really you know, helping him out. You know, 1307 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,439 Speaker 1: he could do it by himself, you know. But he 1308 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,360 Speaker 1: has a great offensive line too, from tackle to tackle, 1309 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,439 Speaker 1: guard to guard in this center he plays lights out 1310 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: as well too. So two of the better guards in 1311 01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 1: the National Football League and two of the better tackles 1312 01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,760 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Got nothing but respect for 1313 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 1: this offensive line and really this whole team. You know, 1314 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,960 Speaker 1: they played a lot of coach games. I think when 1315 01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,200 Speaker 1: you got Miles Gard and you know Clowney on the 1316 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,280 Speaker 1: other side, and you know Denzel Award, and you got 1317 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:33,880 Speaker 1: the type of team that they have, like, you can't 1318 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 1: kind of them out of any single game. And that's 1319 01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 1: just how it is each and every week in the 1320 01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 1: National Football League. Joy watching. I love Marles Gart. We 1321 01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,040 Speaker 1: can take saying together. I've built a relationship with him 1322 01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,719 Speaker 1: over the years. I'm a fan. Um, I passed Rush, 1323 01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:56,559 Speaker 1: he passed Rush. He's probably, you know, one of the 1324 01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:59,080 Speaker 1: best defensive ends that ever played this game. And I think, 1325 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 1: you know, Tom would talk. The more time, I think 1326 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:03,800 Speaker 1: more people will started to agree with me on that, 1327 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,640 Speaker 1: even I mean if they probably already are, but I 1328 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 1: think and as more and more time passes by, I 1329 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,040 Speaker 1: think more and more people I started to agree with 1330 01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,439 Speaker 1: that with that quote, Um, Miles Garrett has my all 1331 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: time Broncos the leader sack record breaking jersey. I gave 1332 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 1: it him after the game. You're not thinking about that. 1333 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 1: The other day I broke the Broncos franchise sack record 1334 01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:28,920 Speaker 1: and I switched jerseys with Miles with Miles Garrett after 1335 01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:30,960 Speaker 1: the game, and I didn't really think about it till 1336 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,120 Speaker 1: like a couple years later. I was like, dang, I 1337 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 1: don't even have the jersey. I gave it to Miles 1338 01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:39,680 Speaker 1: gets So, you know, I mean, you don't think at 1339 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,720 Speaker 1: the time. You think like you're gonna play your whole 1340 01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,200 Speaker 1: career with the Denver Broncos, you know. And I think 1341 01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 1: when you get traded, you start to think like the aang, 1342 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 1: where is this and where is that? Or you know 1343 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 1: this moment and that moment, and he's like, dang, like 1344 01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:54,920 Speaker 1: I traded that jersey with Males Garrett, you know, And honestly, 1345 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:56,479 Speaker 1: I would you know, somebody had to have it this 1346 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,280 Speaker 1: Miles Gard Like, that's my guy. Um. You know, I 1347 01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,960 Speaker 1: love Miles girl, I love his game. So if anybody 1348 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:03,720 Speaker 1: other than me had to have it, I'm okay with 1349 01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:11,160 Speaker 1: Miles get having him keep it. When expectations so high 1350 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:15,240 Speaker 1: and something at versity, you know, whether the outside noise 1351 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,880 Speaker 1: and the other Dan mc noise, so people start looking 1352 01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 1: for the places playing the impact. I'm Sean McClellan. I've 1353 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 1: had ninety nine regulars delp and how he's handled the 1354 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,479 Speaker 1: ups and downs for the first man. He's the real 1355 01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 1: deal man, UM and I think, you know, I think 1356 01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:37,480 Speaker 1: championship teams and championship coaches are champions before they win championships, 1357 01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 1: you know. And he's uh, you know, he's definitely that UM. 1358 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 1: You know, he never gets too high, never gets too low. Um. 1359 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 1: His delivery and his approach and he could just tell 1360 01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 1: like he you know, he he studies how to UM 1361 01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:54,479 Speaker 1: interact with his players. He studies his players. He's just 1362 01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,880 Speaker 1: a great communicator. I like, I love the way he 1363 01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 1: labels things. You know, even though we losch you can 1364 01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 1: it's it's multiple, it's multiple. It's it's multiple ways that 1365 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,160 Speaker 1: you can go in there and label that you know, 1366 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 1: you can say, hey, you know we gotta ask kicked 1367 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 1: and this and that, in which all of them could 1368 01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 1: be true. You know, all of them could be true. Like, 1369 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,040 Speaker 1: but the way he the way he puts his his 1370 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:18,280 Speaker 1: words together to inspire the team is just you know, phenomenal. 1371 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 1: And it's just that honor the privilege to be led 1372 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,559 Speaker 1: by coach McDermott. So I'm happy to be a Bill. 1373 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,360 Speaker 1: I've always been happy to be a Bill. Um. You know, 1374 01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: I like where we're at. Um. I might always be 1375 01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,680 Speaker 1: positive after press conferences. It doesn't matter if we win 1376 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:33,439 Speaker 1: by a hundred or lose by a hundred, which we 1377 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,680 Speaker 1: never would lose by a hundred. But you know, I 1378 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,639 Speaker 1: just you know, my perspective is I've had two season 1379 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 1: getting injuries. I've played in so many different games. Um, 1380 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,479 Speaker 1: one super Bowls, lost the Super Bowl, one big game, 1381 01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:50,200 Speaker 1: lost big games. Like I think it's just over timing. 1382 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,320 Speaker 1: I can just be able to just sit back and 1383 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,600 Speaker 1: just you know, put things into perspective, like I'm not 1384 01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,559 Speaker 1: gonna let a team beat me twice. You know, that's 1385 01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:58,800 Speaker 1: one thing I'm not gonna do. And I'm not gonna 1386 01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 1: let a one win like you don't change anything either. 1387 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,600 Speaker 1: You know, I play the game, I debrief, and I 1388 01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 1: move on to the next game. Man. Just because I'm 1389 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 1: positive and you know I have a bright outlook on 1390 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 1: this team doesn't mean that, you know, I'm okay with 1391 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 1: losing or anything like that, Like we want to win 1392 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,040 Speaker 1: every single game. But you know, it's just it's just 1393 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,679 Speaker 1: my perspective, and I love playing a game with football. 1394 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,080 Speaker 1: That was a fun game, like I think when you 1395 01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:26,280 Speaker 1: take a step back, especially as a player, like even 1396 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:27,599 Speaker 1: though we didn't win, I've been on the other side 1397 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 1: of those type of games too, So it was it 1398 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,240 Speaker 1: was a fun game. Man. You just gotta put it 1399 01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,920 Speaker 1: to perspective. If you gotta respect your opponent, give them, 1400 01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:36,719 Speaker 1: you know, um, their props and their respect and and 1401 01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,360 Speaker 1: you know, move on. I don't have to get up 1402 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:39,760 Speaker 1: here and hate and like, oh we should have did 1403 01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:42,360 Speaker 1: this a bit, like you know, it's you would never 1404 01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 1: get that from me. You would never seen me pointing 1405 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,760 Speaker 1: the finger at you know, any of my teammates. Um. 1406 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 1: If anything, I like to blame to be on me 1407 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 1: because I can. I can control me. You know, I 1408 01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 1: can come out here and control what I do each 1409 01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 1: and every week. So it's just the word that I 1410 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,639 Speaker 1: choose to live in. And it's more, it's it's a multiple, 1411 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,720 Speaker 1: it's multiple different way is that that players not only 1412 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:03,599 Speaker 1: on our team, but players around the league like handle 1413 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 1: situations like that. Sometimes you see, you know, a quarterback 1414 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:08,840 Speaker 1: has a bad game or a wide receiver has a 1415 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:10,360 Speaker 1: bad game, and they get up there and it's like, 1416 01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's all you know, it's the end of 1417 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:14,519 Speaker 1: the world and negative. They don't want to look at 1418 01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 1: the camera looking down and you know, it's just so 1419 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:19,559 Speaker 1: it's just so dark. You know, it doesn't have to 1420 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:22,640 Speaker 1: be like that. I control, you know, my perception. I 1421 01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:24,800 Speaker 1: control the words that I say. I control my energy 1422 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,320 Speaker 1: when I'm up here, and as a leader on this 1423 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,920 Speaker 1: football team, that's I just choose to be positive and 1424 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,760 Speaker 1: I choose to have a bright outlook. We get more, 1425 01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 1: we get more mileage from that that point of view 1426 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:50,559 Speaker 1: and that perspective. It was. It was it was a 1427 01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:51,840 Speaker 1: fun game, and of course we want to be on 1428 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,320 Speaker 1: the on the side of it. But I think I 1429 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,400 Speaker 1: try my best not to live double lives. You know, 1430 01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 1: the same positive outlook that I have here on the 1431 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,519 Speaker 1: football field, I try to be that same person at 1432 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 1: home with my son and with my family. So you know, 1433 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,599 Speaker 1: I just try to. You know, we all as human 1434 01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,240 Speaker 1: as we all struggle with consistency. But I just choose 1435 01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,280 Speaker 1: to live on the positive side of things. Like my 1436 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,000 Speaker 1: life is good. I'm a Buffalo bill, Um. I got 1437 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:18,040 Speaker 1: great teammates, great coaches around me. The lunch ladies here 1438 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 1: and the lunch men here, the Buffalo Bill's Cafeteria love 1439 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 1: me to death, and they do anything for us to 1440 01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:27,719 Speaker 1: like have success.

We're out in the 1502 01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 1: country and I just think it's I think it's just 1503 01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,200 Speaker 1: who we are. You know, that makes us great pass 1504 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,680 Speaker 1: versus and great defensive players. And of course we got 1505 01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:22,599 Speaker 1: great offensive players in there too. You know, we're doing 1506 01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:24,760 Speaker 1: a little bit shaky right now. But you know, I 1507 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:26,800 Speaker 1: got nothing but belief in Jim. But I know I'm 1508 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 1: digressing and talking about NCAA right here. But you know, 1509 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:31,360 Speaker 1: I know we got we got a great coach, we 1510 01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,320 Speaker 1: got a lot of great young guys, and we're gonna 1511 01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,320 Speaker 1: turn it around. If not this year, next year, it 1512 01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:44,160 Speaker 1: be out here for sure. We're playing the snow for real. 1513 01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 1: A lot it snows here.

Of course, you know, it changes. 1516 01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 1: Um yeah, it's just it's just one of the things 1517 01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 1: like you know, Russian and mud rushing in wet conditioning, 1518 01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:10,760 Speaker 1: wet conditions, Russian and and and snow. Of course, Um yeah, 1519 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough.

Of course you can't do all 1522 01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,040 Speaker 1: the moves that you want to do, but the past 1523 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,200 Speaker 1: rusher is just it's way more than just a move 1524 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 1: here and a move there. It's about high energy and 1525 01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,679 Speaker 1: high effort. It takes energy to rush, and it takes 1526 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 1: a phenomenal effort to you know, rush the quarterback and 1527 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 1: whether that's in snow saying uh mud like you just 1528 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:49,439 Speaker 1: you just gotta come with it each and every play. Yeah, 1529 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 1: that's my god. I just you know, I just I 1530 01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:54,599 Speaker 1: spent time with Josh. I think we went to mulberries.

There's they all 1603 01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,680 Speaker 1: got to play tough schedules too. They're all right, just 1604 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,479 Speaker 1: play your games, play your games. You're too hard to 1605 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,720 Speaker 1: beat not to be in it. And if you don't 1606 01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 1: get the one seed, I win anyway, nobody cares. Just 1607 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,240 Speaker 1: play your games, play this next game. Just take the 1608 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,040 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns on in Buffalo in a bad weather game. 1609 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:38,240 Speaker 1: Let's go worry about the rest of this stuff, you know, 1610 01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,040 Speaker 1: when you're my age, fair enough, we will take a 1611 01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,760 Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, we'll touch on one 1612 01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:48,519 Speaker 1: particular comment about Josh that Josh made to the media 1613 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 1: this afternoon about his elbow and what he expects on 1614 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,320 Speaker 1: the horizon. We'll get into that when we return here 1615 01:27:54,360 --> 01:28:02,200 Speaker 1: on one bills Live. All right, So there was one 1616 01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:06,280 Speaker 1: thing that Josh said Steve about he was asked about 1617 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,439 Speaker 1: his you know, throwing elbow, and he said, it'll get 1618 01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:12,639 Speaker 1: to a point where it's back to normal. But he's 1619 01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:17,559 Speaker 1: being smart with it in the meantime, so that's a 1620 01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:22,080 Speaker 1: good thing. Like eventually it's gonna get back to normal. Now, 1621 01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if he means in the off season 1622 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:27,200 Speaker 1: or if sometime this season it'll get back to normal. 1623 01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,240 Speaker 1: Limited today doing the right things to keep it in 1624 01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:33,920 Speaker 1: a place where he can perform with it. Nice to 1625 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:35,360 Speaker 1: know that it's going to get back to normal on 1626 01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 1: its own, though, Yeah, it'll be back to normal. He's 1627 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, you still gotta practice and you got to 1628 01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:41,880 Speaker 1: do everything, get ready to play, and you gotta play 1629 01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:45,560 Speaker 1: hard on Sunday. So it's always it's gonna be a 1630 01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 1: thing where you're gonna get to a certain point, it's 1631 01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:50,439 Speaker 1: gonna get better, and you know, the level's gonna go up, 1632 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 1: and then it's gonna drop back down for the game 1633 01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:53,960 Speaker 1: because you're gonna wear it out a little bit during 1634 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:55,439 Speaker 1: the game. Then it's gonna get better in the week 1635 01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:57,880 Speaker 1: AND's go higher to a better place during the next week, 1636 01:28:57,880 --> 01:28:59,559 Speaker 1: and then it's going to come down again for the game. 1637 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:03,200 Speaker 1: Just kind of ratchet that up as the season rules along. 1638 01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, he'll get he's fine. It looks like he 1639 01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:07,720 Speaker 1: through fine. He's going to get better now week to 1640 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 1: week unless you know something bad happens to it again. 1641 01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,880 Speaker 1: It's interesting to hear him on Kyle Brand's basement talk 1642 01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,280 Speaker 1: about all the hoops he jumped through last week to 1643 01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:17,120 Speaker 1: get ready for last week's game. It was a monumental 1644 01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,439 Speaker 1: effort on his part and the athletic Training Stamp, so 1645 01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:22,200 Speaker 1: kudos to all of them, and to Josh who really 1646 01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,800 Speaker 1: did a lot to make himself ready to play with 1647 01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,439 Speaker 1: his teammates. We're done for today. We'll see you tomorrow. 1648 01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:34,240 Speaker 1: We have field Yates among others. We'll see it one
