1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: Oh a good time, Steve Tasper. Text down, text down,

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: text down, more time. All right, here we go to

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: The show starts at noon, no matter what, no matter

4
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: if we're ready or not. Here it comes. The show

5
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: starts at noon, and it is noon, and here we go.

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. You're getting to look if you're

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: watching on MSG, you look at the scene inside New

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: Era Field where the field itself, just the one hundred

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: yards of field real estate plus the end zones is

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: is plowed off. I'd imagine they plan on doing a

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: little kicking out there later today. Otherwise, practice goes on

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: indoors on the other side of the wall in here

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: inside the End Pro Sports Training Center, and the big

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: show starts right now. Good afternoon. My name is John Murphy.

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: This is Steve Tasker here until three today. I'll confess, Steve,

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: I feel rushed and a little bit beleaguered. We've had

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: a busy morning, and I think I get the sense

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be like this a lot now as

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: we move into the playoff. Pushed, don't you ever. We've

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: We've got uh people coming in town. You know, the

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: national media is starting to flutter through the the the

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: building and uh, every game, let's face it, every game

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: gets bigger and uh so it gets even more attention

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: and there's more stuff going on. Yeah, we're trying to

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: stay on top of it, but it's it's like the

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: walls of the room are closing in and we gotta

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: we gotta stay on top of all the information that

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: are's out there. I mean, not much going on the

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: injury front. I mean it's another day, another day. I

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: mean tie and Secky is the only guy on on

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 1: the list right right, and uh do any favorite listeners

32
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: closing in? Man, don't let us complain about being busy

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: and feeling beleaguered, because there are those months May, June,

34
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of July as much as we're here

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: in July where we're looking at each other saying, what

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about? Talking about what we

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday and yesterday, the day before that and

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the day before that. No, this is not We're not

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: and it is busy. Stephen. I did an interview with

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: George Record from Channel four this morning, the piece that

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: goes up Sunday, and that was great. I'm sure to

43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: be a great piece, but that takes a chunk of

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: our show prep time. We bumped into Mike Tarrico from

45
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,639

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: the show with yere momentarily, but that takes up a

47
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: chunk of time. Right, There's just a lot going on,

48
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,919

Speaker 1: TV of the Bills and the Patriots, and we'll get

65
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: Mike's thought in the NFL and the Buffalo Bills in

66
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: particular coming up here in a minute or two. Chris Brown,

67
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: Bills insider Buffalo Bills dot Com, will join us after

68
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: he watches a little bit of practice today. We got

69
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: field Yates from the NFL reporter from ESPN his regular

70
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: Wednesday appearance. We'll talk fantasy football and NFL issues with him.

71
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson scheduled to join us after practice today. We'll

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: hear from Josh Allen his comments after practice today, the

73
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: Bills quarterback, and we expect to hear from the brand

74
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: new Bills Pro Bowl quarterback, t the Avias White as

75
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: he meets the media and talks after practice. Turdavious White,

76
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: the long Buffalo representative in the Shoe's Pro Bowl. What

77
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: do you think of that, Steve? There'll be some other guys,

78
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: I think Tremaine Edmonds. All the first alternates, maybe even

79
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: the second alternates, will all probably be able to go

80
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: to the game, depending on which teams go to the

81
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and which teams don't. For instance, if the

82
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: Bills go none of the none of their players Turndavious

83
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: White included, will be able to play in the Pro Bowl.

84
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Same thing for the Ravens, the Patriots, all those teams.

85
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: The Ravens have elve guys going to the Pro Bowl.

86
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: If the Ravens were to advance and go to the

87
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, all of those spots would be filled with

88
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: alternate So yeah, there's the roster has yet to be set.

89
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: But still Urdavious deserved it, no question about it. He's

90
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: a tremendous player and he's you know, it's m We've

91
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: been waiting on it for three years, right. I mean

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: he was good the moment he stepped on the field. Yeah,

93
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: but he's better now. He's waving and once the picks

94
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: started coming this year, leading the league with six interceptions,

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: it was a little bit. That's why, you know, there's

96
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: stats that people go crazy over. Picks are obviously one

97
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: of them. They're big, and he had two of them

98
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: the other night, one for forty nine yard return almost

99
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And then and like for a guy like

100
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, he got nine and a half sacks that

101
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: from defensive tackle. He's up there and he's got snubbed,

102
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: he's not going, and he's been a beast down inside

103
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: for the Bills. So all of that stuff being said,

104
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: who knows what. People watch what they see, but h

105
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: you go, well, i'd says this about Pro Bowl and

106
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: you know a thing or two about him. You played

107
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: in seven of them. Talk on it. I mean, you

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: basically had a permanent winner home in Honolulu right for

109
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: seven years. But and not to take anything away from

110
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: guys elected this year or guys elected in the past,

111
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: but and look, and I get it. I'm not going

112
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: to complain about who got snubbed for the Bills. But

113
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: let me just say this. When you look at the

114
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: list of the Pro Bowl and some of the names,

115
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: not all of them. I mean Tredevious is not included

116
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: in this. But sometimes guys get voted to the Pro

117
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: Bowl because they've been to the Pro Bowl. Would you agree?

118
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean I was looking at this year's list thinking, well, really,

119
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Marquis Pouncey, is he that good with the

120
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Steelers the center, I don't know he is in the

121
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: up matt much better than Mitch Moore's but he's gone

122
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: to Pro Bowls before, so there he is, you know,

123
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: and there are others in look, twelve Ravens is an

124
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: awful lot and there are new names. I will give

125
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: you that, but there are also some names are like, well,

126
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: he's just going because because he's been in the past.

127
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Not that it's a guarantee that you're going, but I

128
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: think it's it's easier for electors, coaches and players to

129
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: vote for somebody who has been a Pro Bowler in

130
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: the past, right, would you agree? Yeah? Absolutely, And there's

131
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: always an ads you had to have one good year

132
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: to get on the radar, even if it's a Pro

133
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: Bowl caliber year. It takes you one year to get

134
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: on everybody's radar around the league. And then the next

135
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: year you're in. And then at the end when you

136
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: probably are, you know, not playing as well as you should,

137
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: and there are other young guys, a young guy comes

138
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: up and he plays well enough to get in where

139
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: you go, and then he goes to that you know

140
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I know, you lose one on

141
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: the front end and get one on the back end,

142
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: kind of if you make a string of trips to

143
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. And yeah, that for a long time,

144
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: and it's hard because it's some of these teams, like

145
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Houston Texans. The Bills haven't played those guys, right,

146
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: you know so, and they don't know how good some

147
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: of their players are. It's just that simple. And yeah,

148
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: it's great that Tradevious is in and I don't want

149
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: to it's he belongs in. He is among the best

150
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: corners in the game. There's no question about that. Any

151
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: other snubs for the Bills, anybody that you thought you

152
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: mentioned Jordan Phillips, you know, nine and a half sacks,

153
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: he is I should get to the list of alternates here,

154
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: but he is an alternate anyway, a fourth alternate, so

155
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: unlikely he would go. But I don't know who I think. Look,

156
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: I think if if the season, if there was four

157
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: more three more, two more games at the end of

158
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: this year, you know who would who would get in?

159
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I think Tremaine Edmonds because he has picked up his

160
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: play as the season has gone along. He is a

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: dominant force in the middle of the third best defense

162
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, and I would think Tremaine

163
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Edmonds would be a guy that would get that sort

164
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: of Pro Bowl recognition if again, if the season were

165
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: three more weeks. What do you think Yeah, a guy

166
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: like Jordan Phillips, who's got, like I said, almost nine

167
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: and a half sacks with a couple of games to play,

168
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: and he's a fourth alternate. I mean that's yeah. There's

169
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: no there's no telling how this stuff works and how

170
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: the guys are voted. But you know, there's always some disappointment,

171
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: and maybe sometimes there's some surprises, and there's some people

172
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: in every city that are shocked at one of their

173
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: guys didn't get picked. And it's kind of coming to

174
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: be people in Baltimore shocked the twelve of their guys

175
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: got picked. I mean, that's right, right, So we'll talk

176
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: about Pro Bowl as the afternoon goes along. And we

177
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: said we got a good full lineup of guests. Says

00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: was with CBS, gut and I do Westwood one games

189
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: on the second night games and all that, we cross

190
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: paths and yeah, it's it's good to see again. I'm

191
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: just I'm just mad you guys were talking about Pro Bowl.

192
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: Now he's had a Pro Bowl worthy year. I'm just

193
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: disappointed Matthew Slater was named to the Pro Bowl because

194
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: it took our guy Tasker out of the record books. Yeah,

195
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: so he passes you, but forever for for a lot

196
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: of us, you are these all time specialties. Well, I

197
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: appreciate that, but I like Matthew. He's a great player. Yeah,

198
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: as dad is too, Jackie. So Slater speaks highly of

199
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Steve too. I don't know if you ever heard that

200
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: he does. It's good. I'll be up in Fox Sports.

201
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure I grab fraternity thing. You have

202
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: to talk nice about everybody. Well, I mean the fact

203
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: that you guys were so good for so long doing

204
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: a job that is a one or two year job

205
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: for a lot of other players in the league says

206
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: all of that, And I mean that, and you mentioned

207
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: the longevity. Uh, Jackie was in the league forever, and

208
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: here his son has been in the league. It's probably

209
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: if you put long careers together of fathers and sons,

210
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: it's got to be close to the longer. So yeah,

211
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: but it's great. It's great that a whole generation will

212
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: get to hear your name again. And for the people

213
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: who don't remember how good you were. Every time that

214
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: your name has come up with the Hall of Fame stuff,

215
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: I would say that tell you how great he was

216
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: as a special teamer. There was other stuff going on,

217
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: but he was such an integral part of it. So

218
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: it's cool to see you continue on with I know,

219
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: I know. I'm sure Matthew would say the same thing.

220
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: It's it's fun to be able to contribute to particularly

221
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: to a good team, you know. Yeah, fun, and that's

222
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: that's why we play, you know, for to have fun

223
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: and to be a guy. Well like me. It's hard

224
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: to get on the field for these teams. I mean,

225
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: it's not everybody can do it, So you know, to

226
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: be able to contribute and then have your teammates acknowledge

227
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: it's fun. Well you were awesome at it. So fun

228
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: Mike Rico from NBC Sports is with us. Will be

229
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: called into play by play on NFL Network on Saturday

230
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: afternoon at four thirty. Your job is varied, right, we

231
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: were talking earlier this morning. You got everything right, you

232
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: got Olympics, you got golf, and now you got NFL

233
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: play by play. Yeah. Nice to be back in the booth.

234
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: I did ten years of Monday Night, which is hard

235
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: to believe. And I've been in the studio the last

236
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: four years as I made the move to NBC, which

237
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: I've absolutely loved being involved with the Olympics and the

238
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Triple crowned horse races and the Indie five hundred and

239
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: all that. So we had a month this year, Murph

240
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: where you're at the derby, and then we had the

241
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: horse crossed the finish line and we twenty minutes to

242
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: find out if the horse was gonna win any parties.

243
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: You guys ruined with it? Well, hey, it ruined us

244
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: getting home to our party family looking for their Yeah,

245
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: so doing that, doing that, and then at the end

246
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: of the month, three weeks later, we're standing at the

247
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: yard of Bricks at the Indy five hundred with three

248
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people who are there just to do these

249
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: things and then go to the Olympics. And the Olympics

250
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: are coming up in about eight months in Tokyo. So

251
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: it's just it's been so much fun. But I still

252
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: love calling games, and I'm so glad NBC's kind enough

253
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: to give me the chance to do an NFL Network

254
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: game or two when those come up on their exclusive windows.

255
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: We did two last year with Kurt Warner and Peter

256
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Schrager's on the sidelines. So most people app here to

257
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: be listening to you, Murph, I know, but those who don't,

258
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: you get us on the TV. You'll get us. But

259
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: it's fun to be back in the booth for sure.

260
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: And the fun part of the thing about it that

261
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: gets me, you know, Murf and I and all of

262
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: us here, we're eyeballs deep in the NFL. It was

263
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: like and we forget, oh yeah, well there is horse racing,

264
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: and there's golf, and there's a you know, auto racing,

265
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: and there's Olympics. Don't ask me about skateboarding or sport

266
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: climbing yet. I'll get there in June July. But no,

267
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: but those are in the Olympics this year, right, skateboarding

268
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: and sport climbing. So it's it's I love the variety

269
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: of always have loved. To give me a curveball, let

270
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: me do different things. But when you come back home,

271
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: it feels great. And to come back those weeks of

272
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: preparing for an NFL game is so much fun. And

273
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: to get to do it this week with the Bills too,

274
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: is just a kick. Yeah, you get that too. We

275
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: were talking before this morning. You know how much this

276
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: team right now means that this not just right now,

277
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: for years, has meant to this area right always, the

278
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: loyalty here. You remember the Dallas Monday night game. I

279
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: guess it's two thousand and seven. I want to say

280
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: that's one of the games I've done. Probably I've lost count.

281
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: I've probably done two hundred something NFL games. That is

282
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: one of my favorite games, not just because the outcome,

283
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: but it was big bad Dallas coming in and the

284
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: atmosphere here is just as everyone here knows, so special.

285
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: But I can tell you when you go around the league,

286
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: there are not atmospheres, emotions, fans who are this passionate

287
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: in other cities. When when I saw that the Bills

288
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: fans were waiting at two thirty in the morning, on

289
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: technically Monday morning after the Sunday night win, one of

290
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: my buddies said, Oh, that's unbelievable. If you go to

291
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: anybody in Buffalo thirty five or over, I'm going to

292
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: bet that at some point in the nineties run they

293
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: did that too. They were there, They've they've got one

294
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: of those on their belts. So that's why I love

295
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: to see this team succeed because as a guy went

296
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: to Syracuse and has a ton of friends here in

297
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: Western New York, these are good. These are good people

298
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: who love their teams, love the Sabers, love the Bills,

299
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: will fight for their teams, and it means so much.

300
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: And that's what I'd love to see something like this happened. Well,

301
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: what about this city. You know, you're just you know,

302
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: you still got three or four days, you know to

303
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: get there, so you got you know, you've got a

304
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: lot of plus you're just starting your meetings with the Bills.

305
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: You'll go to New Boston tonight and get it. Talk

306
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: to those guys and talk to us about the early

307
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: stages of your preparation for this game. What do you see. Well,

308
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: the fun part for this last couple of years for

309
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: me is working with Tony Dungee, Rodney Harrison, Chris Simms,

310
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: and Mike Florio on our Football Night in America shows.

311
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: So you want to talk about a dream job, Like

312
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: you wake up at eight, you get a little work

313
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: out in, then you get to the office at one

314
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: or at ten, and then at one you sit in

315
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: front of nine big TV sets and you watch football.

316
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: And I've got to my left, hall of fame coach,

317
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: and Tony Dungee too might write a Hall of Fame

318
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: level Super Bowl champion safety, and Rodney Harrison we've got

319
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: all and Chris Simms was behind us, who had all

320
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: his years in the league and all his experience, and

321
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: we're watching every game and so you're kind of pointing

322
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: things out. You're pointing things out and hey, look at this,

323
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: Hey did you see this Josh Allen play? Watch this?

324
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: And it's just so much fun. And so you've watched

325
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: the Bills last year and it was almost after the

326
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: snap of a Bill's play two seconds and you kind

327
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: of watched the play because you know Josh is gonna

328
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: be running around doing something. And this year it's become

329
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: less frantic and more planned and more stable, and you

330
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: can just watch a player develop and where the full

331
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: credit goes to Sean and to Brandon Being and everybody else.

332
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean's offense is brand new. There's the left tackle

333
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: in the quarterback and nobody else essentially was here. And

334
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: to have that in a double digit win team, it's astonishing.

335
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: So watching this bill during the year has been terrific.

336
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: And that, as you guys know, all starts with a

337
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: terrific defensive effort and great personnel acquisition and great play

338
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: calling during games as well. Let me get just talking

339
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: about that defense for a second. Mike Rico's with us

340
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: in our studio. He's going to call the game on

341
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: that Saturday afternoon. And the defense has been good for

342
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years, but I think it's better now

343
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: than it was even at the start of the year.

344
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: And now they're getting takeaways, now they're doing making big

345
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: plays that they weren't doing in septem Well, you start

346
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: looking at you know, guys like at Jordan Phillips up front,

347
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden his sack total, Trent Murphy healthier

348
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: and playing better, and you start you start there and

349
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: what does all that do? Well, that makes your your

350
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: DBS better? But what is what are they doing. Those

351
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: corners are making the guys up front better. And obviously,

352
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: with White making the Pro Bowl and all of his picks,

353
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: everybody knows that. But you start watching the last two

354
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: or three games, you go, hey, you know this Levi Wallace,

355
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. And you start to look at the

356
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: safety play and that's been more solid as the year

357
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: goes on. Your nickel plays has been good from Taron Johnson.

358
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: So so you start putting all this together, you go, wow,

359
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: this team has everything there that you look at the

360
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: linebacker level and you look at Edmunds grow here in

361
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: year two. I just mentioned to Sean McDermott, it's really

362
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: rare that you see a team who has those two big,

363
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: big pieces, a middle linebacker and a quarterback who are

364
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: taking in the same draft, and they're both first rounders

365
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: who look like they are hit hits, not fuss. That

366
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: is so rare in the league when you get a

367
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: team with two first rounders, to get guys who not

368
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: only come in they come in and play, they come

369
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: in and get better. They're going to become the leaders

370
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: here for a while. And in year two they're in

371
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: a playoff team. Can one more question about defense. And

372
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's because where the Bills have been right last Sunday,

373
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: very good defensive team Pittsburgh two weeks ago, a really good,

374
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: great defensive team Baltimore. This week the number one defensive

375
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: team New England, and there are the Bills at number three.

376
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: Are we seeing a shift in the NFL our defenses?

377
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: And maybe it's wishful thinking. I'm with you, I'm with you.

378
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: It's the same thing I was watching San Francisco earlier

379
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: in the year, and you're thinking them. And then they

380
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: play a forty eight forty six game against New Orleans. Okay,

381
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: I screwed this one up, but both of those teams,

382
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: their defenses are good. We're back to this is not

383
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. With all due respect to the Big twelve, right,

384
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: We're not playing four and a half hour, sixty four

385
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: to sixty one games like Mahomes and Mayfield played their

386
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: all time game that those guys played. You still need

387
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: defense to win. And when you go back, why did

388
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots win the Super Bowl last year? It wasn't

389
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: like Brady and those guys dominated their defense shut down

390
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: the Rams and when the Rams were going and they

391
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: looked like the unbeatable two or the team you could

392
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: not beat because they were so good offensively. Well, Matt,

393
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: Patricia and Detroit put some stuff on tape. They couldn't

394
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: finish the deal. Then they went to Chicago the following week,

395
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: their offense was slowed down. Then two weeks later they

396
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: got slowed down, and then in the Super Bowl the

397
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: Patriots did. So. Defense is still, even though we love

398
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: offense and we love our fantasy teams, right, defense is

399
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: still if you can't score, you can't win. It's that simple.

400
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of what you're seeing here

401
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: with the defense gives the offense a base to play smart,

402
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: complimentary football. And now that Josh Allen has learned a

403
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: different quarterback from Week four across the parking lot here

404
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: in the first game against the Patriots, taking care of

405
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: the ball, better, complimentary run game, all of a sudden,

406
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft comes in and gets his first career touchdown

407
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: last week. Now, hey, this is working. Yeah, So the

408
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: base of defense, like you said, gives you a chance

409
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: every week, and it travels and you've seen that the

410
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: last two weeks. And you've had some interaction with Sean

411
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: McDermott and he was hired. He's a defensive coordinator, so

412
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: you kind of expect the defense to be a strength

413
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: of this team, but he's instilled kind of something way

414
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: more than just a defensive philosophy in this team. It's

415
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: a program they built the team with. They got cap room,

416
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: they got draft picks, they got and they got it

417
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: all their house in order first two and a half years,

418
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: and now they're reaping some benefits here in the year three.

419
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: What are your impressions of him as a head coach

420
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: and this process that he talks about all the time.

421
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: You've when you've done the CBS games over the years,

422
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: you know you can walk into production meetings and talk

423
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: to coordinators and you can say, this guy may be

424
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: a good head coach. And there's a variety of reasons why.

425
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Maybe the flash and dash with Sean, it was always

426
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: substance going back to when he replaced Jim Johnson, the

427
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: late grade Eagles defensive coordinator, when when Jim was diagnosed

428
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: with cancer, Sean took over a really big role in

429
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: a really tough spot and handled it the right way.

430
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: You can see by process, you go, you know what,

431
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy's pretty good. He gets it in

432
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and you saw that continue on

433
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: with his time with Carolina. I think, as you know Steve,

434
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: coaches need to be leaders of men. They need to

435
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: get up in front of fifty three mostly alpha male

436
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: individuals and say something that's going to bind them together. Right,

437
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: you also need to be a right fit. Sometimes certain

438
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: coaches don't work in certain places. I think Sean is both.

439
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: I think he's a terrific leader of men, and I

440
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: think Sean really has what it takes to fit this

441
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: part of the world, this organization. He's the right guy

442
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: to coach the Bills. So everything that he brings to

443
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: the table from an exo standpoint, a leadership standpoint, just

444
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: seems to fit. And what does that mean in terms

445
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: of players? The right defensive veterans are in here now,

446
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: the right veterans on both side of the ball with

447
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: the young guys who are coming in, so White and

448
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: Edmonds have a leader on that side of the ball.

449
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: A brilliance of Sean the time out against Pittsburgh, the

450
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: second to last drive before the fourth down, right, showing coverage,

451
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: time out, come back out, bringing the pressure disguise a

452
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: little bit. Duck has no place to go. He has

453
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: to go somewhere quickly with the ball. Safety comes over

454
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: and makes the pick. I mean, that's yeah, that's the

455
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: exo stuff to go with the leadership and all the

456
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: other stuff. So you got the right at least I

457
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: think he got the right guy. At least I hope

458
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: you do, because when you travel around, there are a

459
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: few that you meet that are as nice as Sean.

460
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: We're sitting with Mike Tarico from NBC Sports. He's got

461
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: the call of the game a Saturday afternoon. You're on

462
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: your way to New England. After this, you'll meet with

463
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I heard a radio interview this morning here

464
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Andy Hart from w e I Radio and

465
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: Bust and talking about Tom Brady, and it kind of

466
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: shocked me. Look, I know Brady is not the old Brady, right,

467
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 1: but this guy and I don't know him, and I'm

468
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: not finding fault, but he's saying Brady is a liability. Now.

469
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: He's not, you know, hanging in there and making plays.

470
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: He's not interested in getting hit anymore. He's missing badly.

471
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: He's chucking the ball to nobody just so he doesn't

472
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: get hit. And I thought that that's Is it that

473
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: bad for Brady, I don't see it. I watched a

474
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: couple of games. I'm interested to sit tomorrow and just

475
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: get a vibe for where they are, because you feel

476
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: like the Bills usually are the Patriots usually late November,

477
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: early December, they figure out what they're gonna do. Yeah,

478
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: you can almost guarantee that they'd be two and two

479
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: and then five and three, and all of a sudden

480
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: you'd look up seven weeks later and oh they're twelve

481
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: and three. They've won eight in a row. They had

482
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: that early in the season. The competition, you go back

483
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: and look, they haven't really beaten it. A lot of

484
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: good teams playing great defense early and their defense is

485
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: still really really good and you can see that in

486
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: a week in week out basis. But their offense is

487
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: not winning games for them. What I'm curious about I

488
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: don't want to throw last week away, necessarily against Cincinnati.

489
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: The first half was a very competitive game. Some mistakes

490
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: by Andy Andy Dalton try to throw at Gilmore. That's

491
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: a mistake twice and get more made in pay once

492
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: with a pick six, another time with the pick. What

493
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to see with New England is what's there

494
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: dependable part of their offense. They used to be able

495
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: if they didn't have big place to ball control it

496
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: element for four, White out of the backfields for six

497
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: and gronk for a first down, right, But now they

498
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: don't have Gronk. So the thing Belichick loves to do

499
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: is what take away what you do best? When you're

500
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: on the other side of that, and you're taking away

501
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: what New England does best? Edelman White? After that, do

502
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: you need to pay more attention to other guys? And

503
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: that's that different. Tom doesn't have time, and Tom doesn't

504
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: have the people who are getting open those tight windows.

505
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: So that just magnifies maybe where a forty one year

506
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: old quarterback at this point is not as good as

507
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: he once was. Do I ever think I would walk

508
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: someplace where gambling is legal and bet five cents of

509
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker's money against New England? Not on your life, Yeah,

510
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: not on your life. They've got more rings than they

511
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: have fingers. On one hand, you you're not gonna go again.

512
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: I'll be glad. I was just saying this with Tiger too.

513
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: I'll be glad to be wrong with those guys. You

514
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: never bet against greatness, and you don't want to do that.

515
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: At this point, but there is not that feeling of man,

516
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: they're one game away from becoming a dominant force, right. Yeah,

517
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: So this talk about this game and what it could

518
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: mean if the Bills were to go in, nip them

519
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: at the end, steal a game, whatever you want to

520
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: call it, and the Patriots don't lose. How big I'm shift.

521
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's just one game, yeah, but there is

522
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: that field. It's a little more than that. Well, it'll

523
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: grab people's attention because if the Bills win this game,

524
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: and I need to double check this, but I'm right here,

525
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: New England will have lost to the top teams in

526
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: the FC. Yeah, lost to Baltimore, lost to Kansas City,

527
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: lost to Houston, lost to all teams with young, mobile quarterbacks.

528
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: Their defense has gotten everybody else. They've beaten a lot

529
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: of inexperience quarterbacks, but the young quarterbacks on that next

530
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: level where teams that have played well, they will have

531
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: lost to all of them. That would certainly rattle everyone

532
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: a bit in terms of their confidence. I think in

533
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots going into the postseason now, because of the

534
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: Week seventeen and the tiebreak, it's likely that they'll beat

535
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: Miami in Foxborough and Bills fans like, why couldn't this

536
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: be the year that the Patriots go down their Week seventeen,

537
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: you know where the Patriots have struggling. That's the other

538
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: thing we talk about watching all the games on a monitor.

539
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: At some point every five minutes, you're fifteen minutes, you

540
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: look up and Fitz has got the ball in one hand.

541
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: He's running around. He's gonna get yeah, and you're like, man,

542
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: get down. They'll take a big hit and get somebody

543
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: smiles and he taps the defensive guy on the shoulder.

544
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: You're right about not ruling them out. But if the

545
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: Bills win this game, even as the five seed, the

546
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna walk into any playoff game and feel

547
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: really confident about their chances to win it. And the

548
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: Patriots will have somebody walk in there, which could be

549
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: the Bills again, by the way, and go, hmm, this

550
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be as easy as we thought it would be. Plus,

551
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: I think the bigger thing if the Patriots lose this game,

552
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: they likely have to play in Week one of the playoffs,

553
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: right and not get a buy And that has been

554
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: their magic. It's been their special sauce. But it's also

555
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: been a big help to them. Just when two games

556
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: usually both at home to get to the super Bowl.

557
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: Now when you talk about winning three games and having

558
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: to do one maybe two of those on the road,

559
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: a little bit different, Adam man Less thing I got

560
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: for you, Mike, and you kind of started with this.

561
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: But look, we're all excited about this game. We are here.

562
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: We're going to be excited in Foxborough Saturday. But I

563
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: think a lot of bills frames that are excited about

564
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: the big picture beyond this year, beyond whatever happens this

565
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: year because of the draft picks coming up next year

566
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: in the cap room, right And and is that valid? Absolutely,

567
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited when I when I got it, got to

568
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: the airport and drove here, and it was nice to

569
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: you to get on thirty three two nineteen, Like I

570
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: remember all these roads. We were here so often, you

571
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: know over the years, like, well, you know exactly where

572
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: everything is. If I was thinking myself, well, I guess

573
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna be coming back here a little bit more.

574
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: You would assume, you know a team that is a

575
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: ten eleven win team coming off playoffs two of the

576
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: last three years, with a core back, plus the ability

577
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: to add or to keep this core together for a

578
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: while because of the cap flexibility talk about and young

579
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: players you can bring in and not say, hey, we

580
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: got a draft game play. I live in Michigan. You

581
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: know the Lions are gonna get a top five pick

582
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: and they're looking at somebody's gonna have to come in

583
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: and play right away and be good, you know, to

584
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: save a coaching staff with the news yesterday that you're

585
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: coming back, but you're better make the playoffs. So what

586
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: does that do? It just allows people to start believing

587
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: in the team. And that means from a scheduling standpoint,

588
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: an eleven or twelve win Bills team with the schedule

589
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: you have here next year at home, you have a

590
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: great home schedule, and you start looking at who's coming

591
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: in here next year, and the Bills will be on

592
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: national TV. You would assume a couple of three times

593
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: next season, and certainly because of what you all know

594
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: from living up here, the incredible atmosphere of game days here,

595
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: even when the Bills are bad and a good team

596
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: comes in here, I'm sure you'll see a couple of

597
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: primetime games next year. And it's good because it's nice

598
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: to see everything kind of shake up a little bit

599
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: and see different folks come to the top of the mountains.

600
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, hey, maybe you know, maybe a couple of

601
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: years we'll be seeing Josh Allen mentioned up there with

602
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: Holmes and Watson and Lamar Jackson as the new era

603
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: of AFC quarterback. Now, you guys spend on those night games.

604
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: You spent a lot of time in the NFC East cities.

605
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: They're they're on all the time, right, Yeah, I mean

606
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: I've I've done a lot of sideline games exactly, Washington

607
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: in Dallas in New York. Well, think think about it.

608
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: The one one victory. Yes, I forget which victory it was.

609
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't Philly Washington. So let's see, Dallas has went

610
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: Dallas has went over the Rams ensure that the NFC

611
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: by one game, avoided being the worst division since they

612
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: reworked it. You know, two, the division is so bad

613
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: you're likely twenty three wins or something, and the Giants

614
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: are probably going to change. We know Washington has already changed,

615
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: and you've got upheaval there in Dallas. Who knows what's

616
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: going to happen. It's it's rare. That was the division.

617
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: We always used to say, you never rebuild in the

618
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: NFC East, you know, you just have to survive. Right now,

619
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: two of those teams are in that mode, so it's

620
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: good to change it up a little bit. And I

621
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: think we all remember, all of us who are old enough,

622
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: which are the three of us for sure, what the

623
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: nineties were like here and the Bills became a big

624
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: national draw and in the AFC, you know, candidly just

625
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: to tuggle the TV business on the side with the

626
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: CBS because they predominantly had the ABC AFC games. You

627
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: know this, Steve, after Pittsburgh and New England, there wasn't

628
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: like another third team since Peyton's been out. They were

629
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: always helping for the Raiders to be good because they

630
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: kind of have a national following. That kind of thing,

631
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: even any team to come up and be good for

632
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years rather than just get hot. Right

633
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: And now, if you come out of this year, you're

634
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna be thinking, hey, Baltimore, man, that kids must see TV.

635
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: He's incredible. And with Buffalo doing this, you go, you

636
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: know what I want to see, Josh Allen. I want

637
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: to see this defense. I want to see the Bills

638
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: mafia in full display in Western New York. In a

639
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: primetime game against like a Seattle coming up here next year,

640
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: I think one of those games. So all of a sudden,

641
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: it changes it and it just refreshes it for everyone.

642
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: And we know what I was gonna say before. We

643
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: know from the nineties that the Bills can have a

644
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: national magnet and bring people to the TV. They did

645
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: in the glory days. And you know, it's too early

646
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: to say it's the next version of that, but man,

647
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: that would be a lot of fun. It would be.

648
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: It's great having here. It's awesome being here. It is

649
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: so good to see you guys. Like I always say,

650
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: I think it's because my Syracuse time, there are never

651
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: any bad people from places with bad weather and Western

652
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: New York as I was driving up to the stadium

653
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: today and saw the snow blown across the road, like, hey,

654
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: it's good to be back. Great tem So happy for

655

00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: busy Wednesday. Here again, thanks to Mike Arico, NBC Sports

Speaker 1: for joining us for that first half hour or so.

664
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: Happy to have our next guests in the studio with

665
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: us right now. He just came off the viewing portion

666
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: of practice today. Chris Brown Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills

667
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: dot Com. What do you see out there, Brownie? Give

668
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: us a secrets? How many trick plays? How many? There's

669
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: none of that right now? All that's wrong with here.

670
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: They're not doing any of that when the media is

671
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: out there. There is no way that that is happening. Now.

672
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: It looks like Lorenzo when Frank are getting the rest day,

673
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: short week, all of that. They usually get a day

674
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: off per week. They had a walk through yesterday which

675
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: was a change in the schedule. Originally. I think coach

676
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: originally wanted to have this practice yesterday, but I don't

677
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: think the bodies were recovered to do that and get

678
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: a value, get value out of a practice of that

679
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: nature with shells and whatnot. Knowing that it was a

680
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: late night game. You're coming back. You know, wee hours

681
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: in the morning Monday, and even though you gave them

682
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: Monday off, I don't think the bodies are ready on Tuesday.

683
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: So I think I think it was a good decision

684
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: to wait. What I se your question about that, we

685
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: had more to say. Is that decision based on observation

686
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: or don't you think there's some sports science involved there,

687
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: like a measurement of what guys? Well, I asked him

688
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: on Monday at his press conference, you know, what are

689
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: the changes you plan to implement this week, knowing you're

690
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: coming off a Sunday night game and you're playing on Saturday.

691
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: And he said, well, he goes, we know that we

692
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: can't practice as much as we want. He goes, well,

693
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: we're going to have a practice and it's going to

694
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: be a good one on Tuesday. And then he changes,

695
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: and then it changed, and I think the players came

696
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: to him and said, dude, where it's week sixteen. We're

697
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: hanging right now. We're not going to get anything out

698
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: of this if we practice on Tuesday. And he listened

699
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: to his players, to his credit, and push the thing

700
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: back another day. And here we are today and they're

701
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: they're doing the practice on Wednesday as scheduled. The questions

702
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: was the players or was it the sports science side

703
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: saying give it no m I feel a little sports

704
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: science in there, but I think the player's voice speaks

705
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: the loudest to coach McDermott. And if the players feel

706
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: like we're gonna have so many guys still recovering on Tuesday,

707
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: that the quality of our practice is going to suffer,

708
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: then it's worth it to wait twenty four hours, even

709
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: on a short week, to get better work in today

710
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: than you would yesterday. So Corey Leegion's participating, well, you

711
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: know we'll get an official update. He was listed as

712
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: a limited participant yesterday, which was an estimation of what

713
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: his participation level would be since yesterday was a glorified

714
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: walkthrough and still no sign of tie in Secky, so

715
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: that's really where it's at. There aren't any other changes

716
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: or additions to the injury report, which is good news.

717
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: We don't get updates on injuries, and Secky in particular.

718
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm just looking it up. He is going to miss

719
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: his give me his fifth game this week. If he

720
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: doesn't play, you probably don't know broken ankle what does

721
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: he know it's not a broken ankle. My belief the

722
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: ankle injuries that take this long are high ankle sprains,

723
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: And so that's my educating guests based on experience. Yeah,

724
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: he got rolled up in the Miami game. It's a

725
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: bad looking injury and it looked like something that out

726
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: of which a high ankle sprain would be the diagnosis

727
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: that was never officially diagnosed by the team. That is

728
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: just my edgy Katie guess based on seeing ankle injuries

729
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: that last this long. And the good news is Cody

730
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: Ford had been playing before and I think has been

731
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: playing pretty well. I think he's actually benefited from the

732
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: extra time on the field. I think playing start to

733
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: finish has helped his game, not tremendously, but it's certainly

734
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: helped him push his game forward at an accelerated pace

735
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: where maybe if he kept platooning this past month, maybe

736
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: we wouldn't see the level of play we're getting from

737
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: him right now. And also I think, I mean, it's

738
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: not like he's been all of a sudden he's an

739
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: all pro right tackle. He still got some things he's

740
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: working on, but he hasn't he hasn't stood out as

741
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: a detriment, you know what I mean. I mean, he's

742
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: not you don't want to know. Yeah, you don't want

743
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: to notice alignment in a bad way, is what I'm saying. Either,

744
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: I know he could really and there were a good guard,

745
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: but he's they played some guys and there were a

746
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: lot of doubts about him at the beginning of the year,

747
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: whether he was better suited to be a guard. People

748
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: thought he could be a Pro Bowl level guard and

749
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: we're kind of shying away from what he could be

750
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: as a tackle. And he's had some difficult assignments. I mean,

751
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: in the past few weeks, he run down the list

752
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: Von Miller and go from there, and he he hasn't

753
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: been a fish out of water by any means. So

754
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: that's an encouraging sign. Knowing that very often the biggest

755
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: jump that lineman make is from year one to year two.

756
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: So you know, you hope that this is a player

757
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: that is only scratching the surface of what he can

758
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: become for this team. On the edge with Chris Brown

759
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com. Chris, So, we

760
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: did our show yesterday and you know, this is what

761
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: we do and this is not what the coaches are

762
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: players do. But we were talking about all the good

763
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: things that could happen if the Bills win this weekend

764
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: in New England, including you know, still keep the AFC

765
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: East Division hopes alive, and maybe a changing of the

766
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: guard and maybe the last time they see Brady all

767
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And I was thinking about it. Sean

768
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: mcdermot's done such a good job but keeping his players

769
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: focused on this game, you know what I mean, They

770
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: very rarely, if at all, talk about, oh, we're on

771
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: national TV, or oh we're trying to make ourselves heard

772
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: or notice they don't they don't respond to that. I

773
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen it if they do well, And I think

774
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: what's helping coach McDermot this week is the opponent. Who

775
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: the opponent is certain helped you if you can't lock

776
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: in on the New England Patriots, who have been your

777
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: nemesis for the better part of the last twenty years,

778
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: whether you were a player that's here or not. And

779
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: most of the players in this locker room have not

780
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: yet beaten this team, you know, at least under the

781
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: McDermott regime. They're you know, oh for five right now,

782
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: And so I think who the opponent is and and

783
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: the fact that I think a lot of people, not

784
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,479
Speaker 1: necessarily in this locker room, but a lot of people

785
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: outside observers believe this is as vulnerable as the Patriots

786
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: team has been in a long time only sweetens the pot.

787
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any problem in getting everybody

788
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: refocused on this week's game, even though a playoff berth

789
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: has been clinched. Yeah, I think that Patriots going out.

790
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, famous last words to me.

791
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: I mean, well, right, we've everybody's tried to throw dirt,

792
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: kick dirt on him for probably the better part of

793
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: the last five years, and it hasn't been realized. But

794
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: I will say this, there are a few stark differences

795
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: in of what the Patriots are struggling from now as

796
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: opposed to recent years. Number One, they are devoid of

797
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: consistent playmaking talent at the wide receiver position. Their most

798
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: reliable receiver is dealing with knee and shoulder injuries in

799
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman and was limited last week in his effectiveness.

800
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu, who throughout his career has been known as

801
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: a sure handed receiver, suddenly is struggling and cannot pull

802
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: the ball in with any measure of consistency, and Tom Brady,

803
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: we saw glimpses of it a couple of years ago

804
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: here and there would miss a throw that was automatic

805
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: for him. Go watch the table last week since a

806
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 1: NATI game. He's missing throws that he doesn't miss. And

807
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: go look at his completion percentage over the last five games.

808
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: It's below fifty five percent in every single one of

809
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: those games, including a couple that have been under fifty percent. Now,

810
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: that's a byproduct of a substandard line play, which has

811
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: struggled this year for them due to injuries and a

812
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: couple other things, be inconsistency at the receiver position. And

813
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: see a forty two year old quarterback who's not quite

814
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: as good as he used to be when he was

815
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: an MVP Kennedy year in and year out. So there

816
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: are little chinks in the armor. Is it enough for

817
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: the Bills to get an unlikely victory in New England?

818
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see. I think the Bills,

819
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: maybe more than anything, have to control what they can

820
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: control in this game. And I think we're gonna probably

821
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: see a carbon copy of last week's game. It's gonna

822
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: be a very conservative, low scoring game and the team

823
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: that makes the fewest mistakes may win the football game.

824
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: Where Chris Brown Bills inside a Buffalo Bills dot Com.

825
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: He's got a post up. It went up today, did it, Chris?

826
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: The noteworthy numbers? It was that ye late yesterday, late yesterday.

827
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: Noteworthy numbers talking about the defense. And we've got a

828
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: Twitter poll that asks, among other questions, is the defense

829
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: improved from where it was in week four? You point

830
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: out not only I think you agree it has improved,

831
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: and you point out where it has improved, including passer reading.

832
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: The opponent passer rating is pretty significant. Yeah, it's down

833
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: at seventy six point seven, you know, and that's a

834
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: great number for people that may not have a handle

835
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: on what that number means. But obviously, if you have

836
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's got a passer rating over one hundred,

837
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: that's pretty darn good. Opponent opposing passers against the Bills

838
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: eva passer rating a seventy six point seven, So that's

839
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: a great number. Ranked second in the league. Now, just

840
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: to give you some perspective, New England's defense leads in

841
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: that category and they have an anemic number. It's down

842
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: around fifty seven, so they've been even better, and that

843
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: I think is a byproduct of why a lot of

844
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: people feel that Saturday's game is going to be of

845
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: a low scoring nature. Right, what did you think that

846
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: Todavius White was the only guy that got noted around

847
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: the league? Now we got a bunch of guys that

848
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: are kind of on the list A second, first, second, third, alternats,

849
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: fourth alternates, pertend I'm the guy that got me was

850
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips. It's kind of season that he has had. Man,

851
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's just he hasn't been in Buffalo long enough

852
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: for people to equate that or right, and he's not

853
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: a house whole name. He might be in this in

854
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo now based on the season that he's had. But

855
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: this is a guy that could barely find his way

856
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: onto the field when he was with Miami and then

857
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: he had a falling out there with management, and he's

858
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: made the most of his opportunities here. But I think

859
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: we often see that when a player who kind of

860
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: flies under the radar has a breakout season, they're not

861
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: always recognized right away. It's usually the year after that.

862
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: As far as these Pro Bowl accolades go, the only

863
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: example I can think of where the player just had

864
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: such an outstanding season that he could not be ignored.

865
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: Was Jared's Bird in two thousand and nine as a

866
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: rookie nine interceptions. I mean, that's difficult to ignore. And

867
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: so those are the extreme cases where people are like, oh, crap,

868
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: we gotta put this, But does the kind of year

869
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: it takes right? And nine and a half sacks for

870
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle is nothing to sneeze at, especially after

871
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: fourteen games. I mean, he's still got time to go here.

872
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: He could finish with ten or twelve, who knows, you know.

873
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: And Aaron Donald has maybe made a number like nine

874
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: and a half sacks at the defensive tackle position, maybe

875
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: not as impressive as it might have been before he

876
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: got into the league because that's not very common. I mean,

877
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: maybe Gerald McCoy's, those kinds of guys would have seasons

878
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: like that, but those are few and far between to

879
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: see that kind of production from a pass rush perspective,

880
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: from an interior play. Speaking of stats and numbers, and

881
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: you're noteworthy numbers column. You wrote about defensive categories and

882
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: you identified you kind of tease this with a su

883
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: on Monday here. Yeah, two players on the Bill's roster

884
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: who have made tackles have at least one sack, a

885
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: tackle for a loss, interception, pass breakup, force, fumbled, and

886
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: fumbled recovery, which pretty much covers the waterfront when it

887
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: comes to defensive staffed soup to nuts, right, Bills have

888
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: two players who've done all of that. Yeah, and you

889
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: got and Steve got one of them the other day

890
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: when I quiz you on and he had Trent Murphy

891
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: and the guy who I think might be the most

892
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: underappreciated player in this entire defense, Jordan Poyer. He gets

893
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: overshadowed by Micah Hide and Trudavious White, and we understand

894
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: why those are two very talented players in their own right.

895
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: But this guy everything. I mean, whether he's at the line,

896
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: blitzing off the edge, whether he's covering a slot receiver,

897
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: covering a tight end, a back out of the backfield,

898
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: playing the deep path. I mean, he does everything, and

899
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: he still doesn't get recognized for it. And there's a

900
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: part of me that feels bad for him to not

901
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: get those individual accolades because I think he is a

902
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl caliber safety. I really do, and I understand

903
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: it's hard for people, but everybody, and perfect example is

904
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game. Perfect examples a Sunday night game.

905
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: Everybody's making a big deal about Tredevious White and his

906
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: two interceptions, and believe me, they were huge plays in

907
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: the game. That guy had two takeaways. Also, Jordan Poyer,

908
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: he had the fumble recovery when Trent Murphy stripped it

909
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: out and he had the pick in the end zone

910
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: with two minutes left in the football game on a

911
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: play that looked like it would have been a touchdown

912
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: if Poyer doesn't get over there, because Levi Wallace was

913
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: beat on that play, right. Yeah, And it's the contribution

914
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: and the problem with this defense. If you're looking for

915
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl guys and stars, the problem is he got

916
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: guys doing their one eleven. You know, it's a it

917
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: is a really team. It's not a problem. Yeah, it's good.

918
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: They're an issue. I mean, they got guys playing discipline

919
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: football and put contributing all over the place, and I

920
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: mean thot's pace. They run eight guys through that defensive line.

921
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: Even when Harrison Phillips went down, they continued that, you know,

922
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: and they kept trying to find and remember they went

923
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: through the number of guys that other defensive tackle before

924
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: they kind of settled on their rotation. Now it's it's

925
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys over there that contribute ever

926
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis, right, And I think the versatility

927
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: of Jordan Phillips certainly helps with that too, because he's

928
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: a guy that is a penetrator by nature and can

929
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: play the three, but on a passing down to put

930
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: a man of that girth and size at the one

931
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: technique right and can go and rush the passer while

932
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: also keep opposing offenses. Honest, if you want to run

933
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: the ball, you want to run in a three hundred

934
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: forty pound guy on third and eight. All Right, we

935
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: got this big old hassan here who can also get

936
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: after the passer. And I'm gonna say this too, you know.

937
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: I know people were encouraged by what they saw from

938
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver and the Dallas game and the game after that,

939
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 1: because he was making some plays in the backfield and

940
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: he kind of went quiet this past week and maybe

941
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: even to a certain extent the week before. This guy

942
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: is creating opportunities for other guys up there. Jordan Phillips

943
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: had the game he had because of what Ed Oliver

944
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: was doing occupying blockers. I mean, people are worried about

945
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: Oliver to the point that they forget about Phillips, and

946
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: he's reaping the benefits right now. Right Chris, we didn't

947
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: really get into the matchup this weekend with you. Can

948
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: we get your back in here tomorrow when we have

949
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: a little more time. Will you do that, Chris, we

950
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: can do that. Fifteen guys on the show today. Yeah,

951
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,480

953

969
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,000

00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: ten back in week four, September twenty ninth, and our

971
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: question today deals with that. Here's their rematch now in

972
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: New England this week. Question, what's the biggest difference in

973
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: the bills from their Week four matchup with the Patriots?

974
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: What do you think what has changed since Week four

975
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: on the bills? I think the Patriots, well maybe they

976
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: haven't changed much easier, but let us tell what you think.

977

Speaker 1: in already. What's the biggest difference in the Bills. On

983
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll, forty five percent of you say it's

984
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: a progress from Josh Allen. He threw four picks in

985
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: the first game against New England, and the forty five

986
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: percent of you think he's made much progress since then.

987
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: Thirty five percent of you say the emergence of Devin Singletary,

988
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: who did not play right in the first game against

989
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: New England. He did not play, he didn't he was

990
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: hurt with the hamstring. He was close, I think, but

991
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: he didn't make it. Fourteen percent of you say the

992
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense has improved since then, six percent of you

993
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: say something else. Let's hear from you eight three fifty

994

Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five

995

Speaker 1: fifty send it a tweet for the tweet sheet. Let's

996
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: go to the tweet sheet. It is brought to you

997
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

998
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: What do you have on the tweet sheet? From Paul

999
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: he gets a start. He says the biggest difference in

1000
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: the Bills from their Week four matchup with the Patriots

1001
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: is other the experience the team has gotten since then,

1002
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: being in big primetime games. I think has helped the

1003
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: younger guys. So I think he thinks the Thanksgiving game,

1004
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 1: in the Sunday night game, both victories for the Bills,

1005
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: is gonna are gonna help these guys to step into

1006
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: a Foxborough on a Saturday afternoon and win that Maybe

1007
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: certainly they got to feel differently about what's going on.

1008
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: They gotta feel more comfortable being pro athletes than they

1009
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: did the first month of their rookie season. Then from Diana,

1010
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: she says all of the answers are valid. I went

1011
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen's progression because our turnovers were the biggest

1012
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: difference in Week four. If our offense can keep the ball,

1013
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: our defense get the ball and keep them from scoring,

1014
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: it should be a fun Saturday. Well that, yeah, should be.

1015
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: It should be if they don't score and we take

1016
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: the ball away from him and we don't yeah, hey,

1017
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: there you go. She makes a really good point about

1018
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and here's where his progression has been noticeable.

1019
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: It is in the turnovers, right right. The Bills turned

1020
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: it over ten times, I think I'm right here, ten

1021
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 1: times in the month of September, and it's like somebody

1022
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: turned the faucet off when they went to Tennessee the

1023
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: next week. One interception that game, and then they went

1024
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: a string of games three or four without any turnovers

1025
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: at all, and Josh was up to like one hundred

1026
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: and sixty attempts without throwing one. Yeah, it was pretty

1027
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: impressive and did their offense suffer. Some people will tell

1028
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: you that we were wondering why if maybe that was

1029
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why Josh appeared to be overthrown

1030
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: the deep ball. He's kind of in a good place

1031
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: now with not a whole lot of I mean, he

1032
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: had a tip pass interception the other night in Pittsburgh,

1033
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: but that is the part of progress that I see

1034
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: the most from from Josh. Allen. Nick tweets this and

1035
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: as far as an answer to our question the biggest

1036
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: difference in the Bills from their Week four matchup with

1037
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots, Nick says, I'd say it's a combination of

1038
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: Alan's progression and Singletary. Allen has come a long way,

1039
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: so I do not anticipate another three interception game. Singletary

1040
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: is a game changer that we didn't have the first

1041
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: time around. As long as our defense, please, well, I

1042
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 1: think we win this game. Okay. Singletary is a game changer.

1043
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: He's right, he's certain become the lead back and he's

1044
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,479
Speaker 1: fun to watch. He's got that way. He's a great

1045
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: change of direction. Makes guys miss the things he did

1046
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: to the Steelers. Now you gotta remember too. Here's something

1047
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: that the Patriots are watching the Steelers game intently, and

1048
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: they saw Devin Singletary put it on the ground twice.

1049
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: You can bet he's gonna have to have velcro on

1050
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: his sleeves to make sure it doesn't happen this time.

1051
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: Because the Patriots are really good at that. They're not

1052
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: as good as the Steelers were statistically, but you know

1053
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna emphasize it this week. The turnovers are gonna

1054
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: be incredibly important and if if you turn it over,

1055
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: you don't win. And that's that's what happened in Week

1056
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: four matchup with the Bills and the Patriots. And you

1057
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: can bet it'll have an effect on this one. I

1058
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: said four. Josh had three interceptions against Patriots and one

1059
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: lost fumble. Right, take a call here, squeeze and call

1060
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: Frank and Williamsville. Hello, Frank around the air. Hey, I

1061
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: think it's the defense is solidified. I mean, but before

1062
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: the game earlier in the season we knew he had

1063
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: a good deal, but I think now we know exactly

1064
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: what we got here, which is one of the best,

1065
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: if not the best, in the league. Um, I want

1066
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: to ask Steve a question about about Josh Allen if

1067
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: I could sure ahead. Those commercials you guys do are

1068
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: hilarious and they're great. It seems that Alan has like

1069
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: a profinity for that. And I'm wondering, like, does it

1070
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: matter at all of your quarterback has a personality and

1071
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: if he's like, you know, like it doesn't just matter.

1072
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: How how will they ever throwing the football to the

1073
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: guys who coup to the guys who's who's like, like

1074
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, does he have that in the locker room

1075
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: where they kind of want to have his back and stuff,

1076
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: and it's like he's just basically a good guy. Well,

1077
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: certainly it helps if the eve is a good guy.

1078
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to play with and against or with a

1079
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: guy that they like on their team, and certainly Josh

1080
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: seems to have that. A guy you love and respect

1081
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: is somebody you're gonna play harder for. Um, that goes

1082
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: without saying. And yeah, Josh seems to be the kind

1083
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: of guy that these guys seem to like they rally around.

1084
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: Has been a big mantra throughout the year that the

1085
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: team has really got this love fest going and likes

1086
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: to play with each other, you know, they like to

1087
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 1: play the game together, like to be on each other's teams.

1088
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: They like to, you know, um win games together. And

1089
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: that starts with the top guys like Josh and like

1090
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds and UM, all the great players. UM. Certainly

1091
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: that tone was set by guys like Kyle Williams and

1092
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander and the guys that came before. But now

1093
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: it's the young guys. And it was my observation when

1094
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: I was playing with all the Hall of Fame guys.

1095
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: When your top, your best players are the hardest workers

1096
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: and the guys that you gravitate do great guys, the

1097
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: team becomes that that they become you know, hard workers

1098
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: and great guys, they become good teammates. And it does

1099
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: make a difference. Your quarterback does need to be a

1100
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: guy that players want to play for. And and yeah,

1101
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 1: and I think Josh fits that we're gonna break when

1102
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: we come back. We're gonna talk with field Yates NFL

1109

1157
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: fantasy football questions today. Is that is that Chip's health? Field?

1158
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: Is that right? We're I'm always open for business at

1161
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: you're you're open for business. So if we get fantasy questions,

1162
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: there might be people still playing right championship games, playoff

1163

1166
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: fantasy football playoff finals. I'm just telling you that's my goal.

1167
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: But a new Year's resolution for twenty twenty. It's something

1168
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: we can work out. It's a's a lofty goal. I

1169
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: will say that, Hey, they're celebrating the Bill's entrance to

1170
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: the playoff second time in three years? Field, what did

1171
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 1: you make? The Sunday nights of victory in Pittsburgh? Sunday

1172
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: night football just awesome, so so special for that team.

1173
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: It was a collection of so many hours of hard

1174
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: work that we're poured out onto the field, and the Steelers,

1175
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: no matter who's under center, are always going to be

1176
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 1: a difficult out at home. But I felt that what

1177
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: we saw on Sunday night was not the culmination, but

1178
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: it was a reflection of the hard work and the

1179
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: process that has been put in place. And there was

1180
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 1: a time last year where I know that Bills fans

1181
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of ran thin on patients from hearing the word

1182
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: process from Sean mcderna and Brandon Bean. And when they

1183
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: said it, it wasn't lip service. This wasn't deflecting or

1184
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: sort of trying to delay criticism. No, it was truthful.

1185
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: It was we have an idea of how we want

1186
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: to build this roster and what it's going to take.

1187
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 1: If you give us time, we are going to earn

1188
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: your trust. And Sunday night, to me was a real

1189
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: reflection of that. And one of the things you what

1190
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: did you see specifically about the matchup the Bills go

1191
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: in there, that their defense once again played very well,

1192
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: got five turnovers and were plus three in the turnover margin,

1193
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: that they their offense made enough place to win. Basically,

1194
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: we knew it was going to be a low scoring

1195
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: game because of the two defenses involved, but the Bills

1196
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: gave up one sack and they got four sacks and

1197
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: five turnovers. It was it was quite a day for Buffalo. Yeah,

1198
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: sure was, you know how I mean At least. I

1199
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: do this every Sunday, at some point during the afternoon.

1200
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a like one ten, sometimes it's about two thirty.

1201
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes his later on in the day. I have this

1202
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: moment to reflection where I say, like, any given Sunday, right,

1203
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, crazy things can happen in the NFL. They

1204
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: can go totally as unexpected. Sunday night was the opposite

1205
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: of that, right, it was an expected defensive force against force,

1206
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: and I thought both defenses played really well, but the

1207
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: Bills defense was just that much better and more opportunistic.

1208
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, the offensive line for Buffalo was

1209
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: steady and keeping Josh upright for almost all of the

1210
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: night field. I want to I want to get a

1211
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: kind of I got a macro type question for you

1212
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: here about NFL in general, and I asked this question.

1213
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: We had Mike Tarko on last Hour, and I know

1214
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm viewing things from a Bill's perspective here. Buffalo's defense

1215
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: has been so good this year. They're coming off three

1216
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: straight games where they played a really good, almost great

1217
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: defensive team in Baltimore, a very good team last Sunday

1218
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh, going to New England to play the best

1219
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: defense in the league. Is something changing in the NFL

1220
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 1: where defense might not be just pushed aside and everybody

1221
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: wants to light up the scoreboard? Or is it too

1222
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: soon to say that. I don't, you know, I kind

1223
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: of what I've always sort of believed is that football

1224
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: is just cyclical, and oftentimes the teams that are successful,

1225
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: they're one step ahead of the curve. You know, last

1226
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: year and really in the past few years, when people

1227
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: are talking about the offensive revolution and seeing things that

1228
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: we haven't seen before, I mean, you guys know the best,

1229
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: like did we forget about the K gun? Like what

1230
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: was all that? You know? We saw offensive explosions. And

1231
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: I understand that the passing yardage totals are up and

1232
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: things of that nature. I think that's less a reflection

1233
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: of innovation and the way teams are playing and more

1234
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: a reflection of the rules that are in place for

1235
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: teams now. Just yardage is just so easy to come

1236
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: by for offense because of the defensive limitations you have.

1237
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you breathe on a wide respect. I mean,

1238
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you guys know, I know you guys

1239
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: love football as much as anything, and I love football

1240
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: as much as anything. But if there's one thing that

1241
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: I can't stand in the NFL is that every time

1242
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: a play is incomplete and it's close, the first thing

1243
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: the wide receiver does is he gets up and he

1244
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: looks around for a flat even if he knows there

1245
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: wasn't one on the play, because he wants to try

1246
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: to entice the raft to throw one. And this is

1247
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: not to throw wide receivers like Steve under the bus.

1248
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: But I just wish that there was more of sort

1249
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: of just hard nosed football that teams could play. Because

1250
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I like to see this if it's

1251
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: a revolution, but I like to see this defensive resurgence.

1252
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: Can I just say one more? Because to your point, there, Field,

1253
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: these last couple of games have been amazing games to watch.

1254
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: The Bills knockdown, drag out fight with the Baltimore Pittsburgh

1255
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: the other night. I anticipate another one like that coming

1256
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: up Saturday afternoon. These look, I know, neither of these

1257
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: games have featured a ton of touchdowns, but they're great

1258
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: games to watch. They're very entertaining. I think, yeah, I'd agree.

1259
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I was saying I was talking to somebody

1260
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: on Monday morning about how on Sunday night when I'm

1261
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: back in the hotel in Bristol. Usually I'm watching the

1262
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: Sunday night game with some sort of there's like an

1263
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: emotional anxiety involved, and you know that's mostly because of

1264
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,439
Speaker 1: fantasy football. But Sunday night was one of those games

1265
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: where I had nothing going on with other any of

1266
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: my fantasy teams, and I was just watching the game

1267
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: and just appreciated the purity of it. And it was

1268
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: incredibly entertaining. It was highly fascinating. It was very competitive.

1269
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: I thought both teams played well and hard. Sure there

1270
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: were some errors, but I look at it less as

1271
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: maybe Duck Hodges sort of, you know, just couldn't find

1272
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: his way, and more that like that Bill's defense is phenomenal, right,

1273
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they're so fast at linebacker, They've got pass

1274
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: rushing layers. Jordan Phillips has been awesome for them this year,

1275
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: and in the secondary. I made this analogy in talking

1276
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: to Mina Kimes yesterday and her podcast in basketball, we

1277
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: talked about how a defense can play on a string,

1278
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: and so one player's movement results in somebody else's movement,

1279
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: and systematically it can be really good for them. It's

1280
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: a little bit different in football, but I sort of

1281
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: believe that's how the Bills secondary operates. They all seem

1282
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: to be working in lockstep every single play, and Micah

1283
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Hyde knows what Jordan Poyer is going to do, and

1284
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Turnavius White knows that both of the safeties are going

1285
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: to do, and whether it's Levi or Kevin or any

1286
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: other supplementary corners, they always seem to be in the

1287
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: right place at the right time. Well, one of the

1288
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: things I was going to ask you, as you're the

1289
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: fantasy expert, the Pro Bowl rosters came out last night,

1290
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: and you're in tune with all the statistically guys who

1291
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: statistically get a lot of opportunities that guys who have

1292
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, kind of knocked it out of the park

1293
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: for their teams this year. Is there anybody on your

1294
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: fantasy lists that got snubbed from the Pro Bowl that

1295
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: you like, he was a killer as a fantasy player,

1296
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: and then you're looking at him going how did nobody

1297
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: else recognize it? Does that cross over it all? And

1298
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about a player who might have

1299
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: done that? Yeah, every once in a while, there are

1300
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,919
Speaker 1: going to be players and it's usually at running back

1301
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: because there's so few that are named to the Pro

1302
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: Bowl on the original ballot, but guys can be really,

1303
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: really good for the for the fantasy purposes this year,

1304
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: and I don't maybe it's too much of a mounting

1305
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: to decline because of his name value, but like Austin

1306
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Eckler has been incredible this year for the Chargers. He

1307
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: has been incredible and I don't I don't even know

1308
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: if he was an alternate. I don't know. I mean,

1309
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 1: he's been so good. Now does that mean that other

1310
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: players were not deserving No, not necessarily, but that will

1311
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: be a name that comes to mind that makes me

1312
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: think that's a player that I think deserves even more

1313
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: credit than he was given based off of how the

1314
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls were announced. I was thinking about Josh Jacobs

1315
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: Raiders running back. He's got incredible numbers. Feel yeah, yeah,

1316
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean Josh Jacobs has been awesome as well, and

1317
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: their rookie class has been solid for the most part.

1318
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: In Oakland. Another good example of a guy who you know,

1319
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: it's just hard and I know that one of my colleagues,

1320
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Bill Barnwell, has a disclaimer that he puts out every

1321
01:01:55,880 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: single really minutes after the Pro Bowlers announced every year.

1322
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Right after the Pro Bowls announced, he says, I am

1323
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: all four people suggesting that there are snubs. Please, if

1324
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: you do suggest a snub, respond with the player that

1325
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: you believe or you think should have been removed from

1326
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: the ballot. And that's probably the hard part with these

1327
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: running backs is that Nick Chubb has been brilliant for

1328
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 1: the Browns, and Derrick Henry has been awesome all year

1329
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: for the Titans, and some of these other running backs

1330
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: in the AFC that have just been so good that

1331
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to squeeze remark Ingram has been amazing for

1332
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, the team with the best record in football.

1333
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: So how did how difficult is it feel to like

1334
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: transpose what say what the Carolina Panthers ask of Christian McCaffrey,

1335
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: and to transpose that onto what the New Orleans Saints

1336
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: ask of Alvin Kamara because they're the same position, but

1337
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,959
Speaker 1: they're very different players. And Derrick Henry in Tennessee, who's

1338
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,959
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowler this year, It's almost like we should

1339
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: have a power back and then we should have like

1340
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: a flex back position. And maybe that's not the right

1341
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: sort of terminology that I'm looking for But you guys

1342
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: probably catch my drift. Just the idea that not all

1343
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: running backs are assed do the same thing. Maybe a

1344
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: change of pace back is something that I would ask for,

1345
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: right A guy that has done something or does things

1346
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: on first and second down, maybe the more Derrek Henry

1347
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: type back. And then the guy who's more of the

1348
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: up tempo type player, someone like an Album Kamara, Christian McCaffrey,

1349
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, guys who are I mean, certainly McCaffrey and

1350
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Kimara are awesome on first and second down too, but

1351
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: maybe Eckler would be an example, or James White from

1352
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: New England, or Johnson for Houston, guys who are really

1353
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: good out of the backfield as pass catchers with field

1354
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: gates from ESPN Field Saturday afternoon, the Bills loan Pro

1355
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: Bowl guy Tredavious White will be in there against maybe

1356
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: his in the next best corner or one two of

1357
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,919
Speaker 1: these two guys Stephan Gilmour. Are they one and two

1358
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: as far as corners in the league right now? And

1359
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: what do you think of? They won't match up, but

1360
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: what do you think of? They'll both be showcase Saturday afternoon.

1361
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: I would think, yeah, I don't, and I don't. I

1362
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: don't think it's close right now. I think it's I'm

1363
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: not even sure the third best cornerback in football is

1364
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, I know who was the name

1365
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl, and I know guys like Richard

1366
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Sherman or having, you know, fantastic seasons this year. But

1367
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I think that Turnavius and Stefan have set themselves up

1368
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: as the top two cornerbacks in football. And they get

1369
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: things done in slightly different ways, but the production has

1370
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: been incredible for both of them. Beach have six interceptions

1371
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: this year, Turnavius obviously a year pick six this past week,

1372
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: and so instinctive, physical as you see on the cliff

1373
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: shown right here. And you know, the Bills are a

1374
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: team that's gonna mix in a decent dose of zone

1375
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: and Turnevius's instincts are just gonna, absolutely, always always be

1376
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: a threat. He knows route concepts better than it seems

1377
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: like wide receivers know them. Sometimes. He's been awesome. Stefan

1378
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Gilmour has been brilliant as well. The two of them

1379
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: are the two best and most dominant cornerbacks in football

1380
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: in my opinion. So what do you think about this

1381
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: matchup at New England. I know it's championship weekend, and

1382
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: is there anybody in this game that you would say,

1383
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: for the Patriots or for the Bills, that you say, hey,

1384
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: you gotta play him. I know that we're getting questions.

1385
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Maybe Josh Allen against Jimmy Garoppolo. I mean, Josh Allen's

1386
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: obvious for the Bills, perhaps, but maybe not against this

1387
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: Patriot defense. Yeah. I think the fantasy guys that you're

1388
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: staring at this weekend on Buffalo Devin Singletary, who continues

1389
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: to run really hard and really well. And then for

1390
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots, you gotta be you know, defense almost always

1391
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,959
Speaker 1: a no doubt avouted player in your fantasy lineup. Who's

1392
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: that but Julian Entelman? Yeah? Okay, but he's coming off

1393
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: of a two catch performance against the Bengals where you

1394
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: played just forty snaps and you start to wonder to yourself,

1395
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: is the rest day last Wednesday reflective of a guy

1396
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: that isn't just doing some load management, but is really

1397
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: dealing with some substantial pain right now? But I think

1398
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: that those are the two players that come to mind.

1399
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, a problem with John Brown and maybe he

1400
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: won't draw Stefan Gilmour coverage. But in the same way

1401
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: that if there was one wide receiver that you felt

1402
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: like for sure was going to be shadowed by Trenevius,

1403
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: you'd be a little bit nervous. That might be the

1404
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: hesitation with John Brown, but I think the two guys

1405
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: probably feel most inclined are Devin Singletary and Julian Edeman.

1406
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: That's one apiece per side. I want to ask you,

1407
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: and this is not a fantasy question field, but it's

1408
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,919
Speaker 1: Tom Brady question. I heard a reporter from w ee

1409
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: I talk about Brady today and that was I was shocked.

1410
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know if the guy had an ax

1411
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: to grind about Brady or not. And I know he's

1412
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: not where he was a couple of years ago, but

1413
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: he's not Is he fallen off the table? I mean,

1414
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: is Brady a liability in some ways for the Patriots? Said?

1415
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: That's what this guy. I don't personally think so. Yeah,

1416
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Murph. I always look at quarterback

1417
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: play about context more than anything. Are more than any

1418
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: other position in football, and the Patriots have dealt with

1419
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: numerous injuries along the offensive line. David Andrews are starting

1420
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: center has missed the entire season, Isaiah Wynn. Their starting

1421
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 1: left tackle was on ir He has since returned. Recently,

1422
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: they've had to shuffle the deck along the offensive line,

1423
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: so that's been part of it. And then as we

1424
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: know that certainly it's a limited group of pass catchers

1425
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: right now, I personally don't think that Tom Brady has

1426
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: had a major regression, but you know, part of it

1427
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: is just the standard. Right when you're playing at a

1428
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:31,439
Speaker 1: high level for as long as Tom Brady has, if

1429
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: it's not at that level every single Sunday, then people

1430
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: observing you were going to get a little bit restless

1431
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: and unruly. And I think that's part of what has

1432
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 1: happened with Tom Brady of late, is that people are

1433
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:44,919
Speaker 1: just so used to Tom Brady being at a certain

1434
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: level that when it doesn't look like that, we wonder

1435
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: if the end is near it and Field, I know

1436
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,439
Speaker 1: this is obvious, and I know we're in the December now,

1437
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: but I found I'm watching Patriots this week and I'm

1438
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: slapping myself saying, they miss Gronk. They miss Gronk more

1439
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: than anything else. I think, what do you think, Yeah,

1440
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: sure do, and they miss He's such such a difference

1441
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: maker in so many ways, right, and not just as

1442
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 1: a pass catcher, but he is money in the bank

1443
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: third down receiver for them, or was plus as a blocker, right,

1444
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean he sets the edge and think about where.

1445
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: And I mentioned the offensive line being banged up, but

1446
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: they don't have any Gronk, they don't have James Devil

1447
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: and their fullback who was a Pro Bowl player for

1448
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: them as right last year, they don't have their backup fullback.

1449
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 1: He was placed on ir So we were just talking

1450
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 1: about how you know the offensive all right? You know,

1451
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot recently and I think wisely so

1452
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: about how if you go look at it, the teams

1453
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: that have used the fullback on the most snaps this year,

1454
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: and a hat tip to my friend Mina Kimes, it's

1455
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings, it is the forty nine Ers, it is

1456
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: the let's see two other the Saints and one other

1457
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: team of the Ravens, so four of the best offenses

1458
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 1: in football. So it just explains how your offensive line.

1459
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 1: Blocking is certainly a big part of it, but the

1460
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: complimentary pieces like Gronk, who was an elite tight end

1461
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: as a blocker and a receiver. He's been a huge

1462
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: absence for them, all right, Field, Championship weekend in some

1463
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: of these leagues, and uh or at least it's coming

1464
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: up and you're in the playoffs. Let's let's get some

1465
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: questions in here. Okay, let's do it all right? From Jack,

1466
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: he says, for the championship, which for a flex which

1467
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: for a flex position? Melvin Gordon, DeVante Freeman or Breshad Perriman.

1468
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Who if you can respond? I know this will be

1469
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of tricky vernacular. If there is PPR scoring,

1470
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: I would go with Pereman. If not, I would go

1471
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: with DeVante Freeman. I got one here from Farley, and

1472
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: I love the desperation coming out in these tweets. Here

1473
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,679
Speaker 1: Championship week in Fantasy football. Farley tweets and Field, should

1474
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: I start Fitz Magic or Kirk Cousins? Please help? That's

1475
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: how he ends it, Please help. I like it. I

1476
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 1: would go with Kirk Cousins on Monday night. I think

1477
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a nice game against the Greenmay Packers

1478
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 1: at home. All Right, here we go another one from Michael.

1479
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Out of these options, what would be your top two

1480
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 1: options at wide receiver? He's got four names here Mike Williams, DK, Metcalf,

1481
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk or Breshad Perriman. You need two, he needs

1482
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: two Mike Williams, DK Metcalf, Christian Kirk and Breshad Perriman.

1483
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Mike Williams and Brashad Perriman. Michael

1484
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Landers has been very good of late for the Chargers

1485
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: and they play the Raiders on Sunday Fantasy Football questions?

1486
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Where got him? On the tweet sheet here for field

1487
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: yate A couple of them left and as they said,

1488
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: people are desperate and there's money on the line. These

1489
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: are these are big. There's probably thirty five dollars on

1490
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: the line. And some of these questions from Tim Tim says,

1491
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: I need to start two out of three for the championship,

1492
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, Amari Cooper or Jarvis Landry. I will be

1493
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 1: playing the two wide receivers. I'm sorry the last two

1494
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: wide receivers, Jarvis Landry and Amari Cooper. Landry and now

1495
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl players, had a great season, and then

1496
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper as well. I don't think he's gonna get

1497
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: shut out like he has been shut down by recent

1498
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: cornerbacks of late. I think he's going to have a

1499
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 1: fantastic Sunday because they are the Eagles. They I mean,

1500
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: the Eagles have really struggled to defend the past throughout

1501
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: the season, all right from Matt uh this is championship

1502
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: week for Matt, he has two questions. One is it

1503
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: Tannehill or Aaron Rodgers Hill? All right? And for his

1504
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: flex it's DK Metcalf Breshad Pan. I'm going a lot

1505
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 1: of pairman questions. I'm gonna go back to pairman. They've

1506
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: already put Mike Evans on IR have the Bucks and

1507
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: sounds like Chris Gobbin might be out as well on Sunday.

1508
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,799
Speaker 1: So on Saturday, so I would be going with Breshad

1509
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 1: pairman as well. And you're taking Ryan Tannehill over Aaron

1510
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers and why not? Reality? Right? Explain that to me?

1511
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: Why well, if you look at Aaron Rodgers numbers this year,

1512
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,759
Speaker 1: they just haven't been monumental. Passing yardage hasn't been great,

1513
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: Passing touchdowns have been fine. But you know, as a runner,

1514
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, and you get one point point for every

1515
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: ten rushing yards, whereas you get just one point for

1516
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,679
Speaker 1: every twenty five passing yards. So If Ryan Tannehill adds

1517
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: forty rushing yards in a game, that's equivalent to one

1518
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards. Tannehill has been really, really good for

1519
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 1: both real and fantasy purposes since he took over the job,

1520
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: replacing Marcus Mario to about nine weeks ago. I Field,

1521
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: thanks for taking those fantasy questions. Obviously, this these are

1522
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 1: high stakes issues. I almost visualize people with beats of

1523
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: sweat on their forehead waiting for your answer when they

1524
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: send these in right, no question about it. It's um,

1525
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,600
Speaker 1: it's uh. For whatever reason, it's it's one of the

1526
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: last things that so many of us can compete in

1527
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Part of the reason why we love it

1528
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 1: so much. I know you do. Fields Field, Thank you, guys,

1531
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 1: knew we'd have fantasy answers for me. Why we didn't

1532
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: want to shut that down Championship week. I talked to

1560
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 1: time ago. It's hard to do that. Hey, we got

1561
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: a trivia poll that's up and running and we haven't

1562
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: talked about it much, and we got phone lines open

1563

1566
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: ten back in September September twenty nine, the question what's

1567
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: the biggest difference from the Bills from Week four and

1568
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,879
Speaker 1: where they are now? Give us a call to discuss.

1569
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: We got nine hundred twenty eight votes in on the

1570
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,839
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. Forty six percent of you think the biggest

1571
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 1: difference for the Bills is the progress made by Josh Allen. Okay.

1572
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Thirty three percent of you say the emergence of motor

1573
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: Devin sing Terry is the biggest difference in the Bills

1574
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 1: from their Week four matchup with New England. Fifteen percent

1575
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,600
Speaker 1: of you think the defense has improved six percent of

1576
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: something else in mind. Let's hear from you eight three

1577
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: fifty two three one eight eight eight five fifty two

1578
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: five fifty sending a tweet. We're gonna read those in

1579
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: a moment. Let's go to Dave and fort Lauter day. Hello, Dave,

1580
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Hey, how you do?

1581
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: Steve Good? All right? I got two things. One on

1582
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: your poll is I think the first time you met

1583
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,639
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, Josh. I think so how some little

1584
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: direr the headlights and Buffalo wasn't altogether. But since we

1585
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: played the honest, big stage against the Dallas Cowboys and

1586
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 1: United against Pittsburgh, and we also played a good game

1587
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: against Baltimore, I think he's ready for this week. But

1588
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: on another subject I don't want to say is if

1589
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 1: you guys watched the Saints game the other night, did

1590
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: not a little bit, but what about it? Okay, after

1591
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 1: the game they were through. You know, the guys are

1592
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 1: tweet to him, like Peyton Man he had a tribute

1593
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 1: to him, and Brett Fare guys like that, Russell Wilson, right,

1594
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady and I wanted to bring up the

1595
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady tweet to you. He said, congratulations, blah blah.

1596
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 1: Now I have something to aim for, that's all I'm saying. Well, yeah,

1597
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: and it's a joke, right because he's what one or

1598
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: two behind him? I mean, they're kind of trading places here.

1599
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: That isn't that what you're referring to? Touchdown passes right to?

1600
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 1: But I didn't think it was a joke. I think

1601
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:32,640
Speaker 1: he's going to come out fire and Saturday and next week. Okay,

1602
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, all right, thanks Dave, I

1603
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 1: say thanks. First point he made too, a good one

1604
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 1: about where Josh is at, and I gotta go back.

1605
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: I will go back probably tonight and look at Week

1606
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: four Bills Patriots. It was a really rough gay. It

1607
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 1: was Josh Allen's worst moment of the season so far,

1608
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,720
Speaker 1: the way he played, the decisions he made, the kind

1609
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: of we talked about it. He seemed confused by the

1610
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: looks of Patriots are giving him. They're still doing that.

1611
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: I was watching their last two games and they still

1612
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: on third downs, passing downs, have guys standing around at

1613
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. You don't know who's coming, you

1614
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: don't know who's dropping. They're they're kind of hybrid type bodies.

1615
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: You know, you don't know if they're a linebacker, a

1616
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. That's how they play third downs. That's, you know,

1617
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 1: the number one defense in the NFL. The other thing

1618
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: they do, Steve, they knocked people around on the back end,

1619
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: just like they did fifteen years ago when Bill Paulian

1620
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: complained about it when his culture getting beaten up. Zach

1621
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: Taylor complained about it with the Bengals the other day,

1622
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: saying they were bully bullying his group. They do that,

1623
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: and they they forced the referees John Hussey this week

1624
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 1: to make the call, We're gonna play physical on the

1625
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: back end. We're gonna be, We're gonna grab, We're gonna tug,

1626
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna jam beyond the five yards. Dare you to

1627
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: call it? Well, they call it. It could be a

1628
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: big game. They won't call it. I hope they do.

1629
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:48,600
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens played that way, and they played ultra aggressive,

1630
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: particularly in spots in the game where the you know,

1631
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 1: the fourth down calls and the big moments and the

1632
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: game winning game plays and all that. The Baltimore Ravens

1633
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: have always played ultra aggressive and physical and dared the

1634
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: officials to make a call, and the officials just won't

1635
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 1: do it. They will not do it. They may call

1636
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: one or two in the first half of a game,

1637
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,919
Speaker 1: but the Patriots will know that they get an enormous

1638
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: benefit from their ability to man handle smaller receivers, and

1639
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep doing it. They'll give up a couple

1640
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: of pass interferences or a couple of holding penalties early

1641
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: in the game, but they're gonna keep doing it. They're

1642
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 1: not gonna stop, and they're gonna know that later in

1643
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: the game, when the chips are down the game is

1644
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: on the line, they're not going to make those calls

1645
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: and lead the league in smaller receivers. That's right. I

1646
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: think it's it's what they do, and I think it's

1647
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 1: something that the Patriots will try and use against the

1648
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I think there's no question that they're going

1649
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: to try and man handle the wideouts when they get

1650
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: out there and play ultra aggressive. The Bills better now

1651
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 1: than they were back in Week four when they lost

1652
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 1: a close one to New England. Give us a call,

1653
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 1: will discuss eight three fifty toll free one eight eight

1654

Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty At his news conference

1655
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: before Bill's practice today, Sear mc dermott was asked that question,

1656
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: is your team better now than you were back in

1657
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: Week four at that sixteen to ten loss in New England.

1658
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: Here's what McDermott said. You want to trend in the

1659
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: right direction throughout the season. UM, And I feel like

1660
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: we've grown, We've We've seen contributions from our young players.

1661

1663
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: field for our personnel. UM. And how we're utilizing our personnel. UM.

1664
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 1: I think as a staff we've grown as well. And

1665
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: and how we're working together as a staff. And that translates.

1666
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 1: I bring that up because it translates to all on

1667
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: the field as well. So I feel like, again we

1668
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: were trending in the right direction. UM. You know, we've

1669
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: learned a lot through some of the adverse times, which

1670
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: is important as well. UM. So I just think we

1671
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: have to continue to grow and UM and keep pushing.

1672
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,639
Speaker 1: I get that, And you know I gotta say this too, Steve.

1673
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,639
Speaker 1: I have trouble with this question today, our Twitter pool

1674
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: question today, not because it's a bad question. I think

1675
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: it's a good one. I just have trouble identifying a

1676
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 1: discernible thing that's different about the Bills. You know what

1677
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean from week four that they're still an offense

1678
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: that's a work in progress. It's still a very strong defense.

1679
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 1: They're playing well on the defensive side of the ball,

1680
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: and much more than that. I just have a hard

1681
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 1: time identifying one thing where you can say, boom, they're

1682
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: this much better than they were back in week four.

1683
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that as the day goes along.

1684
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask our guests here. We're gonna have them

1685
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, our guests. Shack Lawson, just off the

1686
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: practice field. I mean, you look like you just walked

1687
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 1: in off the practice field. You need to catch your breath. Shack.

1688
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. I'm good. It was kind of

1689
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: a long practice today, Yes, sir, geting ready for a bit.

1690
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: That's real opportunity this weekend. That's probably gonna be your

1691
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:45,679
Speaker 1: full best, hardest practice of the week. Right, it's gonna

1692
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: you start to taper off now and get very Saturday.

1693
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: What kind of difference has it been thus far in

1694
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: the week, the change in the day less in the

1695
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: week basically getting our body back right. You know, the

1696
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: game is a mental So we're still doing our same

1697
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,480
Speaker 1: thing routine throughout the week, just not a heavy workload,

1698
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: not putting a lot of hitting on our body because

1699
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm still hurting from Sunday nights. What do you remember

1700
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: about the first meeting with the Patriots? I mean, but

1701
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: I remember we got out there. Um, you know they

1702
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: had a great opportunity to win that game. Uh, we'll

1703
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 1: play great on defense. Um, that's what I remember. It's

1704
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: been so long ago, so right, Yeah, it's been a while,

1705
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: it is. It is a long time. And we got

1706
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 1: a Twitter poll up here Today's shock about how are

1707
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: the Bills better? Are they better? Biggest difference in the

1708
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Bills from that back then week four till now. I

1709
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: just said to Steve when you're walking out there, have

1710
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: a hard time saying this is how they're better. You

1711
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: know it was. It's not that it's been a steady climb,

1712
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: but you guys haven't gotten better in a lot of

1713
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: different ways and a lot of kind of small different ways.

1714
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: I think you agree. Oh yeah, sorry, we got better.

1715
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,599
Speaker 1: You know that was week for all the season, so

1716
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: each week we got better. Um, face a lot of

1717
01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 1: adversity since that game, and we've been working all three phases.

1718
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,679
Speaker 1: You know, it's just been early. It was a week folds,

1719
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: so it's hard to tell where your team at right now.

1720
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: And here's a game, this has happened. What that count?

1721
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 1: The other day? Ten takeaways in the last five games

1722
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 1: and that was not a struggle, but takeaways we're lacking

1723
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: for a while their first couple of months of the season.

1724
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: Did you turn the corner somehow or did you a

1725
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: different focus on taking the ball away? Oh yeah, coach Frasian.

1726
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: Coach McDermot preached that weekend a week out. You know,

1727
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: you gotta think about it. The teams that have been

1728
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: winning Super Bowl and playoff game, it's been taking the

1729
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: ball away more than the opponent. So that's our goal.

1730
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 1: We've been focused on that throughout the week's taking the

1731
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: ball away and forced turnover so we can get it

1732
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: back to our offense and good field position so they

1733
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: can make place. And certainly that change for the Bills.

1734
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 1: You guys were kind of always digging out of a

1735
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 1: hole or the first half of the season where you

1736
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: know Josh and the last time he played the Patriots.

1737
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 1: You three interceptions and he had lost a fumble as well,

1738
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,719
Speaker 1: And then they went through that stritch rock started about

1739
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: the Tennessee game. Then they finally stopped turning it over

1740
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, and you guys

1741
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: started digging out of the hole and getting them on

1742
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 1: a positive side, and your turnovers started started meaning more

1743
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 1: in wins than they did, just trying to make it

1744
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: a closer loss, you know what I'm saying. You know, So,

1745
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 1: is there anything that I mean? You got to appreciate

1746
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 1: the fact that those guys on the other side of

1747
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 1: the ball are getting a lot better. Oh, yeah, they're

1748
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 1: getting a lot better. You know. Like I said earlier,

1749
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: our team was just young and we're just trying to

1750
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: find ourselves, find a missing parts and everything. But those

1751
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 1: guys been fantastic through the last couple of months. You know,

1752
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: Charles playing basketball out there, I've seen it as a quarterback,

1753
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, and the offense clicking, were feeding off each

1754
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,599
Speaker 1: other and special teams. So it's we all working together

1755
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: and trying to get a win. Find a way you're

1756
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 1: gonna win. Talking to Bill's defensive end Check Lawson, after

1757
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,719
Speaker 1: I was in the locker room Sunday in Pittsburgh Sunday

1758
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: night after the game, and you got talking about being

1759
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: disrespected by Duck Hodges. That that sticks to you guys, right,

1760
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: you feel that when somebody says something or maybe doesn't

1761
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: give you the kind of respect you're looking for going

1762
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: into a game. Huh Oh, yes, sir, you know they

1763
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 1: just motivate us. We we get we I mean just

1764
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: motivated us. Like you don't saying nothing. No, we just

1765
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: wait till the game and let the scoreboard do the

1766
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,679
Speaker 1: talking and let our defensive performance or what we did

1767
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 1: that game due to talking. Then did you know I'm

1768
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna saying free words out of the game. I'm not.

1769
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm not blaming you. Did you say anything during the game?

1770
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: Did the Hodges? Did you shoot anything during the game? Oh? No,

1771
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: not really, But I feel like after every turnover, I

1772
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 1: was every turnover got I was doing a little right.

1773
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: So I mean that's pretty much I was saying. But

1774
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: I really didn't say too much to him at all.

1775
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: A lot of things came together in this game last

1776
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: Sunday Night against Pittsburgh, and your preparation really showed through

1777
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 1: and and in fact, right down to the song Renegade

1778
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 1: when it came on the fourth quarter. Sean and those

1779
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:51,480
Speaker 1: guys and DJ Milk and those guys were playing Renegade

1780
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: during your practices leading up the week, so you got

1781
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: used to hearing that, right, and you kind of turned

1782
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,599
Speaker 1: to loose when when they thought it was gonna inspire

1783
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: this Steelers during that time, you guys really used it

1784
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 1: for your own motivation. It was kind of cool to see, right.

1785
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was great to see all. I felt

1786
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,559
Speaker 1: like we played it so much at practice those those

1787
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: couple of days, and when we felt first heard of

1788
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 1: doing the game, I was like, man, we gotta start

1789
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,759
Speaker 1: just vibe into it. And then we just started dancing.

1790
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:19,599
Speaker 1: And I've just seen that last night too, But we

1791
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: was all just dancing and enjoying it. And that's basically

1792
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: you knew what type of fourth quarter it was. Basically

1793
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: how you can tell it off the energy all those guys,

1794
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 1: and we didn't face from it at all. We were

1795
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: fed off of it, fed off it like it was

1796
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: part of our song. Son that song. Man, We don't

1797
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 1: know that song at all. I definitely didn't know. We

1798
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: were just dancing and vibing and and it was just

1799
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: a great And it was nice too because the offense

1800
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 1: was on the field at that time. It's supposed to

1801
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: be fire up the Steelers defense, and the Bills nick

1802
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 1: him for that forty yard right off the bat, and

1803
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: everybody just put their towels back in their pockets sat down.

1804
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. Like I said, Man, coach was playing

1805
01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: it so much at practice. I really got tired of

1806
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 1: it because I heard I didn't know what the song was.

1807
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 1: I ain't never heard. It's only forty five years old.

1808
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 1: And I was like, man, why we keep having a

1809
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 1: song on repeat at practice? So I'm like, all right, now,

1810
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So man, which Jack Glass, this happened too,

1811
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 1: And I did notice this Sunday And you've had several

1812
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: times this year on the road check where there's so

1813
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 1: many Buffalo fans and obviously the Bill six in one

1814
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 1: of the road. By the end of the game, it

1815
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: turns into a Buffalo home game. It happened against Sunday

1816
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 1: night in Pittsburgh, didn't it. Oh Man's great, and these

1817
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,560
Speaker 1: fans is fantastic. You know, they traveled everywhere, so it

1818
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 1: just felt like a home game. Now, so we'll be

1819
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: on the road as defense players, getting the crowd crumb

1820
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 1: and we are in a way. So when you know

1821
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: you got that type of fan base, man, you know,

1822
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: especially you know those guys like they showed up two

1823
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,600
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning on a Monday for work to

1824
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: show us love. Man, that's that's especial. You don't find

1825
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 1: that a lot of places in it, and it's especially Buffalo.

1826
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what one thing I would ask you about.

1827
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: It was Murph and I were bumming because that on

1828
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: Sunday night you had to wait till eight thirty at

1829
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 1: night to kick the game off. That's to explain how

1830
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 1: long of a day that is to sit there and

1831
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 1: wait on that, because I used to drive me nuts. Man,

1832
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:06,760
Speaker 1: it was a long day. You know, it was a

1833
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: long day. It felt like a college game to me,

1834
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: just sitting there wait and watching games meeting. So I

1835
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 1: mean you just just just I really tuk a nap,

1836
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 1: but I needed a big nap. So once I got

1837
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,639
Speaker 1: past the big nap, I was great. So, I mean,

1838
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: it was just a long wait waiting on an eight

1839
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 1: thirty game. Now, how are you going to change your

1840
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: routine for a four thirty kick? Now you had the

1841
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day game was a four thirty kick too, So

1842
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: you go back to that and think about what that

1843
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: day was like. Oh, man, don't change your routine at all. Man.

1844
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: We just prepared the same though, it's just probably it's

1845
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,799
Speaker 1: a day early, so we could continue to do the same, basically,

1846
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,840
Speaker 1: move everything up and prepared the same, like it's we're

1847
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: about to play on Sunday. You know, got this question

1848
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: for a shock. And so the Bills are in the

1849
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: playoffs and it's second time in three years. You did

1850
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 1: not play in the first and two years ago in

1851
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and I know that that means something to you, right,

1852
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: And you kind of did a little soul searching two

1853
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 1: years ago when the Bills went down there to play

1854
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and were hurting, couldn't play, right, You thought

1855
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,599
Speaker 1: about that a long Oh yeah, sure I did, man, so,

1856
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:06,680
Speaker 1: but then two years ago, I was just watching my

1857
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,680
Speaker 1: team down there and it hurt because you know, you

1858
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of those guys. And now

1859
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: I just I'm under very happy to get the opportunity

1860
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 1: to play in the playoffs. So man, it's just it

1861
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 1: was just a great feeling. Though. I mean, I made

1862
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 1: it to the playoffs a couple of years ago, but

1863
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 1: I want I didn't feel like I was part of

1864
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,559
Speaker 1: the team because I didn't actually play. Now it's even

1865
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 1: better now, So I mean, just an opportunity to seize

1866
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: them on one thing too, about your season thirty tackles,

1867
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 1: six and a half sacks, a career high one force fumble,

1868
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: and it's easy for people to look at that and say, well,

1869
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 1: that guy's in the contract here, he's playing like that.

1870
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 1: There's gotta be more. Like money is important, I don't

1871
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 1: discount that, but there's gotta be more to it that

1872
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 1: indicates why you played the way you have played this year.

1873
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: It's not just I'm a contract your gay, right, Oh no,

1874
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 1: there's more today, you know. I just wanted to always

1875
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: be that guy they dropped the first round to do that.

1876
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: Defect the passer, play the run, and I got the

1877
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 1: opportunity most most snaps out been playing throughout my careers,

1878
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: just this year. So man, I've just been making the

1879
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 1: most opportunity, trying to make big plays and it's been

1880
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 1: working out great for me. I got to continue going.

1881
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 1: Did you look back on it? What you came first,

1882
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 1: the opportunity or the performance? Man, I just needed an

1883
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 1: opportunity to show I can rush the passes. On third

1884
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: down and things like that. So I mean these last

1885
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 1: six seven weeks at an opportunity to show what kind

1886
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: of player I was and rushed the game. So it's

1887
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 1: just been that and I just continue to develop my game,

1888
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: continue to work in, working weekend and week out to

1889
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 1: be a better pass rush and affect the quarterback. Try

1890
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,640
Speaker 1: to come up to a big field and try to

1891
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 1: beating with su sex. I got one more for you too.

1892
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: And this goes to off the field. So the Bills

1893
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: playing Thanksgiving Day in Dallas, and you had that couple

1894
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: of days off that weekend, and you went home to

1895
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:59,120
Speaker 1: South Carolina, your hometown of Central South Carolina, which it's

1896
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 1: kind of near Spark Work where we were in August, right,

1925
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 1: and I didn't ask him. I thought about it, though.

1926
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 1: Can you do anything like that with Tom Brady? What

1927
01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 1: would you dare? Do? You don't? You know? You gotta

Speaker 1: have a certain amount of respect for Brady, right, no

1929
01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 1: matter who you are, no matter how short or long

1935
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:14,959
Speaker 1: you do look at him and say I never liked you? What? Yeah,

1936
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you're both six Super Bowl

1937
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. You can't do that. Yeah, nothing really makes sense.

1938
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:26,440
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl came out last night. The very best quarterback

1939
01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 1: you ever heard, Johnny Unitis Right. Pro Bowl came out

1940
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 1: last night. Tavius White, Buffalo's loan representative in the Pro Bowl,

1941
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott talked about that today before practice. Let's

1942
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 1: listen it. First and foremost the guys that were recognized,

1943
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 1: Trey and then and then the alternates we did have.

1944
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 1: I think that's great recognition for those guys, and it's

1945
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 1: it's a job well done for a lot of hard

1946
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 1: work that they put in. I felt like we have

1947
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys though, that deserved recognition. Um,

1948
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 1: that that worked hard and um and so UM. It's

1949
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 1: a team game, and and that's what we's what we

1950
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 1: subscribe to here. And I can't control guys that get recognized.

1951
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:10,600
Speaker 1: That's your jobs. He's right, let's Steve and for a

1952
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 1: minute here, let's go to the list of Pro Bowl

1953
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 1: alternates for the Bills and pick the one guy who

1954
01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 1: probably should have been voted in who may wind up

1955
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 1: in that game anyway. Eight Pro Bowl alternates, according to reports,

1956
01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, Andre Roberts, first alternates, Mitch Morse, second alternate,

1957
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, third alternate, John Brown, Jerry Hughes, Frank Gore,

1958
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, fourth alternates. In other words, three guys, four

1959
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,559
Speaker 1: guys got to go down before they go Jordan poy

1960
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 1: or fifth alternate. If you could name I got one.

1961
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: If you can name one guy who you think belongs

1962
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl field, who would you make? I

1963
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 1: got Tremaine Edmonds. And again, if this season we had

1964
01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:48,639
Speaker 1: two more weeks ago after December twenty ninth. I think

1965
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: he'd get in because he's he's getting better almost on

1966
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. He has cut it loose. Tremy Edmonds

1967
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 1: has the last couple of weeks, he's you know, overloaded

1968
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 1: with the info last year, obviously they're sending the plays

1969
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:03,599
Speaker 1: in through him. They're still doing that, and he gets

1970
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 1: all that and he calls out the defensive signals and

1971
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: now he's just running all over the field making hits,

1972
01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 1: some of them very big hits. He would be my choice,

1973
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: and by the way, he'll be in the Pro Bowl soon.

1974
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 1: I think the guy that I agree with everything he said,

1975
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: I think another guy, and I've said it earlier in

1976
01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 1: the show. I think Jordan Phillips. He's got nine and

1977
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 1: a half sacks with two games to play. He is

1978
01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:29,080
Speaker 1: playing defensive tackle both a three technique and the one technique,

1979
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:32,439
Speaker 1: and he has been a beast against the run game

1980
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:34,920
Speaker 1: as well. I just think he's had an outstanding You

1981
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: look at all the even the analytics sites, and some

1982
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 1: of the guys we have on the show, they'll all

1983
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 1: tell you they he's jumped off the film, off the

1984
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 1: page in the film he's been and he's like the

1985
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:46,800
Speaker 1: what fourth alternative? So you talk about a guy that's

1986
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 1: getting lost in the shuffle. I think Jordan Phillips really

1987
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:54,280
Speaker 1: fits that. Bill. Here's I'll say this. Does that look

1988
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 1: you want to talk contract with Jordan Phillips when this

1989
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 1: season is over the fact that he did not did not,

1990
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 1: Well it's not voted to the Pro Bowl. Still my

1991
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 1: play in it. That's got to help the Bills negotiating. Right, Well,

1992
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: you're not a Pro Bowl guy. I hate to be

1993
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,280
Speaker 1: mercenary about it, but they can say that you didn't

1994
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl. Yeah. I don't want to be

1995
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: in the room when you say that to Jordan Phillips. No,

1996
01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: you can say, yeah, I mean he can. And as

1997
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:18,760
Speaker 1: a player, he just pointed to the numbers, say well,

1998
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 1: this guy went to the Pro Bowl and I had

1999
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:21,760
Speaker 1: better stats than he did. I had a better season

2000
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,760
Speaker 1: than that guy. Did you know you're getting in You

2001
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 1: had me at a bargain price in a year for

2002
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 1: a year, Yeah, plenty of time for that, you know contract?

2003
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:34,600
Speaker 1: What else you got for me and my contract negotiations

2004
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 1: and exactly, Yeah, that's true. Usually this time of year,

2005
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:38,599
Speaker 1: that's where we're at with this team. It's so much

2006
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,559
Speaker 1: fun to have games that needs so far on the

2007
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 1: back burner, isn't it. We do have a bunch. And

2008
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 1: I've said this before this it's kind of a strategy

2009
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 1: that this front office and coaching staff have it. They'll

2010
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:50,920
Speaker 1: get guys and they'll get him to sign a one

2011
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: year deal, you know, yeah, and we'll pay you and

2012
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 1: they pay him a good buck too, but you only

2013
01:35:57,240 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 1: get it for one year. And if you and I

2014
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 1: think that, And it's interesting too, because they want guys

2015
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: to the right DNA. The guys with the right DNA

2016
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:08,439
Speaker 1: respond to that kind of challenge, you know, they respond

2017
01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:11,880
Speaker 1: to that kind of contract offer. So yeah, I'll bet

2018
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,080
Speaker 1: on myself because if if I have a great year,

2019
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: the kind of year I think I can have, you're

2020
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 1: not gonna get me for that price next year, But

2021
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 1: somebody else is gonna give me three years of that right,

2022
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I think it's a

2023
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 1: great strategy. And that's why a number, that's why they've

2024
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:28,080
Speaker 1: got a ton of guy a ton of cap space

2025
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,599
Speaker 1: next year because all those one year contracts go away

2026
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,320
Speaker 1: and they can start from scratch again. Now, it does

2027
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: leave you open to having your roster rollover maybe a

2028
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 1: little bit more than you'd like and more than you

2029
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 1: would have liked to have it, had liked to have

2030
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:46,519
Speaker 1: had it happened the last couple of years, because they're

2031
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 1: kind of trying to roll it over the last couple

2032
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 1: of years, and maybe those one year contracts go away

2033
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:52,639
Speaker 1: after this year, you know, when they start to get

2034
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 1: more of their guys on board. But for the time being,

2035
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 1: it gives them great flexibility a year to year. Yep,

2036
01:36:57,920 --> 01:36:59,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear it from Josh Amon. I'm gonna hear

Speaker 1: in just a minute or two. He has been good

2067
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 1: since he arrived with the Bills as a first round

2068
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: pick helped them make the postseason in twenty seventeen. But

2069
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 1: he's been great this year, and he's capped up by

2070
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:42,879
Speaker 1: his two interception performance in the win over the Steelers

2071
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,920

Speaker 1: with the Baltimore Ravens led by Lamar Jackson, who was

01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:16,599
Speaker 1: the leading vote getter in the vote among fans. Tredebus White.

2081

2082
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 1: of the Week for his two interceptions against the Steelers.

2083
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: It's the third game of the season in which he's

2084
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:28,040
Speaker 1: posted not one but two takeaways. Last night, Sabers lost

2085
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: to Toronto in Toronto five to three. They take on

2086
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:32,879
Speaker 1: the Flyers tomorrow night on the road. Jack Ico extended

2087
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:35,720
Speaker 1: his point streak to seventeen games last night with the

2088
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:38,640
Speaker 1: goal and an assist. And that's the update from One

2089
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 1: Bill's Life. John Murphy, Steve Tasker. Did you watch Sabers

2090
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 1: hockey less night? I did? Did? I was? It was

2091
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:47,720
Speaker 1: not good? No? No, they start they they bounced back

2092
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:51,680
Speaker 1: and showed up pretty well. Jack's Jack's killing it right now.

2093
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:54,679
Speaker 1: I'm I'm starting to think maybe we have a pool

2094
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 1: to see how long the streak, the point streak goes.

2095
01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: But I'm afraid that as soon as we start the pool,

2096
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:00,559
Speaker 1: the streak is open. You know what I mean, we're

2097
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 1: gonna jinx the thing. Um. He's playing great, and last

2098
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 1: night that would have been a four or five nothing

2099
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:11,000
Speaker 1: shut out if Jack hadn't stepped up and the team

2100
01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:14,519
Speaker 1: respond around him. I think that's my my thought. How

2101
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:17,280
Speaker 1: many Buffalo sports figures can you go with just one name?

2102
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 1: You just did Jack? I would think that Josh say

2103
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,719
Speaker 1: to a Buffalo sportsman, Jim, can you just say Jim

2104
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 1: and they know you're talking about maybe thinner, you're talking Bills. Yeah, Kelly,

2105
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:36,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, but Bruce Andre, Steve Dominic uh Dominic

2106
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 1: dom dom dominator, Yeah, Umi, Jill Barr, Yeah, that's a

2107
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 1: good one. Rico, mikoan first, Ernie D. Yeah, that's kind

2108
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:52,639
Speaker 1: of two names though, but yeah, Ernie D. Yeah, you'd

2109
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:56,320
Speaker 1: get that, you'd get that, right, Yeah, who else? Come on,

2110
01:40:56,360 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 1: there's there's more than I thought. J O j Yeah, yeah,

2111
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:04,720
Speaker 1: what about Wow, I'll go back a little further with

2112
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:09,400
Speaker 1: the Bills. Fergie yep, not first name, but a one

2113
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: name guy. Yeah. I mean that's it, and that's interesting

2114
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 1: that that's where they came out. Make note of that.

2115
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:23,240
Speaker 1: That's a show for June. But Jack captain Jack, Yeah,

2116
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 1: that's yeah. You can do that with Jim and Jack

2117
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly when they're playing, right. We could do that

2118
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 1: back then. You can't do it now. Jim hasn't played

2119
01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:36,280
Speaker 1: in twenty five years, so it's it's hard to do

2120
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:39,680
Speaker 1: that now. Yeah, with him, but Jack's easy. Looking back

2121
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 1: Week four of the Bills lost to the Patriots sixteen

2122
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,280
Speaker 1: to ten. What's the biggest difference from the Bills from

2123
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:46,639
Speaker 1: their Week four matchup with New England. It's our Twitter poll.

2124
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 1: You got more than a thousand votes in and forty

2125
01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 1: seven percent of you say it's Josh Allen's progression. Thirty

2126
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: three percent say it's the emergence of motor. Devin Singletary,

2127
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 1: there's one motor. Fifteen percent say the defense has improved,

2128
01:41:58,120 --> 01:42:00,240
Speaker 1: five percent have something else in mind. Let's hear from

2129
01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: you eight three five fifty toll free one eight eight

2130
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. Plenty of time and

2131
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:10,000
Speaker 1: plenty of Stevie, Yeah, Stevie Johnson. Here's Jimmy. I'm alive.

2132
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna shoot those out. Whenever they come to me.

2133
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna search him into whatever we're at, and

2134
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 1: this'll be like tourette. Jimmy, Jimmy, you're on the air

2135
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:25,639
Speaker 1: of this. Hello, Hey, Hi, good good. Yeah. I think

2136
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:28,760
Speaker 1: coaching is actually getting better since week four. Where do

2137
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: you see that, Jimmy, I see on both sides of

2138
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,559
Speaker 1: the ball, actually, since you know the guy went upstairs.

2139
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's just she's like they're john bit right now,

2140
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 1: and I think coaching is definitely you know Nash that

2141
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: they they're using right now the full advantage. I mean,

2142
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,600
Speaker 1: things have changed, right. I don't know how much of

2143
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:51,400
Speaker 1: a difference it has made, but Brian Dabo goes upstairs.

2144
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:55,679
Speaker 1: What two games after the Patriots game going to Miami.

2145
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:57,560
Speaker 1: That was the first one back in November. Maybe it

2146
01:42:57,600 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 1: was a little bit longer than two games actually, but

2147
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: Dabo blows upstairs. They transition into a kind of a

2148
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 1: no huddle upper up tempo, that extremely fast but up

2149
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:09,040
Speaker 1: tempo attack, and then they come out of it last week.

2150
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 1: You can make that argument. I guess the coaching is better.

2151
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 1: I've been up there that long. He went up in Miami. Wow,

2152
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 1: November seventeenth, Yeah, okay, second Miami. Yeah, yeah, it's been

2153
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 1: so he's been up there for five games. Um, yeah,

2154
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 1: I guess that's that's interesting. There's I'm in a quick

2155
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:27,599
Speaker 1: Cuick question. Go ahead, Okay. First of all, I think

2168
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 1: what it might be. Good luck finding it might be

2169
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:08,639
Speaker 1: in this I don't know. We got phone lines open

2170
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:11,639
Speaker 1: eight three fifty to three one eight eight eight five

2171
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Sean McDermott talked earlier today before

2172
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 1: in practice, and he talked about and you know the

2173
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:21,439
Speaker 1: deal the Bills. You have trouble, trouble with the Patriots.

2174
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 1: Everybody does. Tom Brady is thirty one and three against

2175
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 1: the Bills in his career and McDermot addressed this a

2176
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:30,719
Speaker 1: little bit, talked about the Bills franchise, sorry history against

2177
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,160
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Here's what McDermott had to say.

2178
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: We expect to win number one every week. That's just

2179
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: part of mindset that we've tried to tried to establish.

2180
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:47,720
Speaker 1: Here Um with respect to the Patriots, we respect every opponent, um.

2181
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 1: So I'm going to get that out first and foremost

2182
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 1: um um. There they have been well established in this

2183
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:57,520
Speaker 1: division for a long time and across the NFL for

2184
01:44:57,520 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 1: for the obvious reasons there um what's import and for

2185
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:02,519
Speaker 1: us as we continue to take steps as an organization

2186
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:05,800
Speaker 1: and as a football team, and we'll continue to do that,

2187
01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 1: and so it's important that we continued to work on

2188
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 1: our quality of play and our fundamentals, the way we play,

2189
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 1: the way we take care of the football, and so

2190
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:21,960
Speaker 1: we go from there. Brandon Bean brought it up in

2191
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,639
Speaker 1: the locker room after Sundays win, the fact that neither

2192
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:27,040
Speaker 1: he nor McDermott had been with the Bill since a

2193
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:29,519
Speaker 1: victory over the Patriots. You know who else, Josh Allen.

2194
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 1: Josh's own two against New England. In those two games,

2195
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 1: He's completed forty eight percent of his passes, one touchdown,

2196
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 1: five interceptions, three interceptions and a fumble back in September. Yeah,

2197
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:43,599
Speaker 1: he said, struggles against New England. Josh talked about it today.

2198
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen after practice today talking about that first game,

2199
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 1: his first matchup with the Patriots, and whether that was

2200
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 1: a turning point in his season. Here's what Allen had

2201
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 1: to say. Well, it's a little hard to watch, to

2202
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:57,519
Speaker 1: be honest. Just some some ugly mistakes that I made

2203
01:45:57,520 --> 01:46:01,280
Speaker 1: early on a couple throws that obviously sad back, but again,

2204
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take it back for anything because I've learned

2205
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 1: some valuable lessons in that one, and you know, it's

2206
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:08,799
Speaker 1: kind of helped me throughout the season just being smarter

2207
01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:10,519
Speaker 1: with the football and taking care of the football and

2208
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 1: helping this football win game or football team win games. So, um,

2209
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just got to try to continue that

2210
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 1: and I'm playing smart football right now, and um, you know,

2211
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 1: still just we got a mission right now in this

2212
01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 1: to go want to know, each week, and I sent

2213
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:25,840
Speaker 1: a short week, it's it's a tough task to do

2214
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:27,760
Speaker 1: it against you know how great the Patriots have been,

2215
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 1: especially in in Foxboro. So uh, you know, it's a

2216
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,120
Speaker 1: it's a good busy week for us that we got

2217
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:36,320
Speaker 1: to go out there next time. How do you think

2218
01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 1: that went, Steve Back, You go back to the first

2219
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 1: New England game September twenty ninth, and then the Bills

2220
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:43,759
Speaker 1: came out of that week, had a win at Tennessee,

2221
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 1: a bye week, a win at Miami, won two of

2222
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 1: the three of the next four after that, and they

2223
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:54,800
Speaker 1: weren't turning it over obviously, they went to Josh and said,

2224
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 1: you got to change what you're doing. We can't be

2225
01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:58,080
Speaker 1: coughing it up this much, right, don't. I think that's

2226
01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 1: exactly right. He They probably said it to him, and

2227
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 1: he probably said it to himself, and maybe even the

2228
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room, you know, said that we

2229
01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 1: can't and you know, told him that we can't turn

2230
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: it over like that. Plus by that time, you gotta

2231
01:47:12,439 --> 01:47:15,280
Speaker 1: had to see for real how good the defense was playing.

2232
01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:17,080
Speaker 1: And you had to know that. Listen, you don't have

2233
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:19,120
Speaker 1: to win the ball on your side win the game

2234
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:22,200
Speaker 1: on your side of the ball. If you just do enough,

2235
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:24,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get your opportunity to score enough points to

2236
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:26,960
Speaker 1: win with our defense. And maybe that's the one thing

2237
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:30,800
Speaker 1: he learned from you know, that Patriot game that they

2238
01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:33,800
Speaker 1: went so bad. It did go badly and it was

2239
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:37,360
Speaker 1: only a six point loss, but it, uh, those turnovers

2240
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 1: really killed them. It killed the Bills in that game there.

2241
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 1: And that plus the block punt for a touchdown, I mean,

2242
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:44,679
Speaker 1: there you go, there's a margin of victory right there. Yeah,

2243
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:46,880
Speaker 1: that was it. And the block punt for a touchdown

2244
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 1: and that's yeah, that's a crusher. And that was early

2245
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 1: in the game as well, and he had it felt

2246
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:52,960
Speaker 1: like you had to dig out of a hole that

2247
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 1: you dug yourself. And it wasn't even a you know,

2248
01:47:57,360 --> 01:47:59,600
Speaker 1: a testament to them and how they were playing. It was,

2249
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, he just did it to yourself, and it's

2250
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 1: it's pretty frustrating. Josh Allen talked a little bit after

2251
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:06,640
Speaker 1: practice today meeting with the media, and he kind of

2252
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:09,040
Speaker 1: had an overview of his play in the first matchup

2253
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. Here's what he had to say. I

2254
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:13,639
Speaker 1: would say that I was trying to do too much,

2255
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 1: for sure. I was trying to take too many things

2256
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 1: upon my shoulders instead of trusting the guys around me

2257
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 1: and trusting the game plan that we put in. So

2258
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 1: I feel like again that that was a game that

2259
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 1: helped me realize that I didn't need to make every

2260
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:29,599
Speaker 1: single play by myself, nor should I try to make

2261
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:32,400
Speaker 1: every single play by myself. So again, we got ten

2262
01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 1: guys on the field, and we got to trust those

2263
01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:35,840
Speaker 1: other ten guys to make their plays and do their job.

2264
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:37,519
Speaker 1: And you know, I feel like we've been doing a

2265
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 1: good job with that as of late. Josh Allen and

2266
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:43,120
Speaker 1: what he's talking about Steve his experience, right, trying to

2267
01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:45,679
Speaker 1: do too much himself. So now he's got twenty five

2268
01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:49,040
Speaker 1: NFL starts. That'll be number twenty six coming up this

2269
01:48:49,080 --> 01:48:53,439
Speaker 1: weekend at New England. Back then, first the first New

2270
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:55,760
Speaker 1: England game he had twelve thirty forty that was his

2271
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 1: fifteenth NFL start, So eleven games he's a different player now,

2272
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,680
Speaker 1: eleven games late or that's you know, almost half of

2273
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,479
Speaker 1: his career since then, since New England game, right, And

2274
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:07,960
Speaker 1: that's we've seen it. But it all comes down to

2275
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:10,719
Speaker 1: how he plays this week. Certainly we know this about

2276
01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 1: New England. It's not going to be the same New

2277
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 1: England defense that he's faced. It's going to be a

2278
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:17,639
Speaker 1: different scheme, a different set of circumstances and a different

2279
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:19,920
Speaker 1: game plan by them, and he's going to have to

2280
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:21,960
Speaker 1: decipher it, and that that remains to be seen as

2281
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:29,880
Speaker 1: to whether he can. They are notoriously difficult to figure out,

2282
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:34,320
Speaker 1: even particularly on game day. Later on, maybe you can

2283
01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:37,080
Speaker 1: get it, but that's going to be a real test

2284
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:38,519
Speaker 1: for him. This is really going to be a test

2285
01:49:38,560 --> 01:49:41,280
Speaker 1: for him, and it's hey, listen, I'm I can't wait

2286
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:46,160
Speaker 1: to see him play. Um trudevious White. Oh no, one

2287
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: more from Josh Allen. Yeah, one more Josh Allen moments

2288
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 1: ago after practice today, he was asked, and we just

2289
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:53,000
Speaker 1: kind of the topic of our show yesterday. What does

2290
01:49:53,040 --> 01:49:55,200
Speaker 1: a win over the Patriots or the Bills get it Saturday?

2291
01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:57,759
Speaker 1: What does that mean for the future. Josh was asked,

2292
01:49:58,040 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 1: would a win against the Patriots be the next mountain

2293
01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 1: decline for this team? They've done some good things on

2294
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:06,240
Speaker 1: a big game on Thanksgiving Day one on Sunday night football,

2295
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,639
Speaker 1: played great defense all season long, but it's the next

2296
01:50:09,680 --> 01:50:12,160
Speaker 1: mountain decline a win into England against the Patriots. Here's

2297
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 1: what Josh said in response to that. Again, I think

2298
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 1: it's just another game for us. You know, I say

2299
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:18,640
Speaker 1: that each and every week, and we're trying to go

2300
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 1: one and know each week we're not trying to do

2301
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 1: anything different. Um, we know that it's a division rival. Um,

2302
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:26,920
Speaker 1: it's a team that's won the AFC East for you know,

2303
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 1: numerous years now, a team that everybody kind of looks

2304
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:32,519
Speaker 1: upon as the standard of what you want in football.

2305
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 1: So it's definitely it's definitely maybe an aming point for

2306
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:37,600
Speaker 1: some of the fans and a milestone for some of

2307
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 1: the fans. But to us. It's it's our next game,

2308
01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:42,080
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think they look at it

2309
01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:45,040
Speaker 1: the same way, So there's no need to change anything

2310
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 1: of what we're doing. We gotta go out there next

2311
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:48,640
Speaker 1: cute and play some good football. Are you buying that

2312
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:51,439
Speaker 1: there's another game? I don't know if I am to

2313
01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:53,880
Speaker 1: a certain extent I am, but it's it is a

2314
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:57,200
Speaker 1: It's a more important game because division. It's a division game,

2315
01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,760
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any question. I think you

2316
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:01,800
Speaker 1: can see who you're playing on the other side. You

2317
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:07,280
Speaker 1: got that coach in that quarterback. Yeah, I think there's

2318
01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:09,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more to it than that, And I

2319
01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 1: think you gotta go in there knowing that you're trusting

2320
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,600
Speaker 1: your preparations going to be good and just play. You

2321
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:16,719
Speaker 1: can't get caught up in that because then it starts

2322
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:19,439
Speaker 1: to affect the way you do play. Yeah, I think

2323
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: it is a big game, just as last Sunday was

2324
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 1: a big game and the week before it was a

2325
01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:25,479
Speaker 1: big game. That's maybe not bigger, but I think it's

2326
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 1: a big game because because the division title is still

2327
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 1: in play, remote possibility, absolutely is it gonna happen. Wouldn't

2328
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:36,000
Speaker 1: bet on it, But it's still in play, and you

2329
01:51:36,120 --> 01:51:38,080
Speaker 1: gotta play like that, like, hey, we gotta win this

2330
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 1: today and then we'll talk about next week. But we

2331
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:42,960
Speaker 1: gotta win today to have a chance to win the division,

2332
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 1: maybe get a home playoff game. Ye. That should be

2333
01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:47,320
Speaker 1: enough to get anybody going. Yeah, and well, it's a

2334
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 1: lot like the first Patriots game where you'd take the

2335
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:54,719
Speaker 1: lead in the conference. You know there's a lot at stake,

2336
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:57,720
Speaker 1: and you're right, the season is unfold And I think

2337
01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 1: the difference this between this game and the game ten

2338
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:07,280
Speaker 1: games ago is that if you win this one, you

2339
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:09,280
Speaker 1: know it's everything that you know you want it, But

2340
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:13,519
Speaker 1: if you lose it, there's no time to recover. You know,

2341
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:15,960
Speaker 1: you can't like win three more to make up for

2342
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,680
Speaker 1: this one, to get back to your winning percentage or

2343
01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 1: anything like that. The season's getting over, you're running out

2344
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 1: of you got two games left, and you're trying to

2345
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:24,800
Speaker 1: win as many games as you can. You don't get

2346
01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 1: to make up for a little slump on a weekend

2347
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 1: or a bad game anymore. You gotta win, you know,

2348
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 1: like that, For instance, that first win against the against

2349
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots, or first loss against the Patriots, you had

2350
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:37,880
Speaker 1: three wins. You took a loss, and you won two

2351
01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:40,479
Speaker 1: more right in a row, and you know you went

2352
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 1: on to go to this point. First three quarters of

2353
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:46,160
Speaker 1: the season went three and one, and every fourth of

2354
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:48,479
Speaker 1: the season you got a chance to Still you still

2355
01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 1: have a chance to do that, but you gotta win

2356
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 1: this game. The other news of the day, Pro Bowl

2357
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 1: came out last night eight pm last night for Davious

2358
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:57,800
Speaker 1: White going to his first Pro Bowl, Buffalo's first round

2359
01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:00,839
Speaker 1: pick in twenty seventeen, and moments ago, right after practice

2360
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:03,519
Speaker 1: for Davious White had these thoughts, I'm going to his

2361
01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:07,480
Speaker 1: first Pro Bowl. It means a lot to be recognized

2362
01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:10,360
Speaker 1: by my peers, by the fans, and by the coaches

2363
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:14,040
Speaker 1: around the league. So it's it's a big deal. But uh,

2364
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:17,639
Speaker 1: obviously I'd rather have wins and then then the individual

2365
01:53:17,640 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 1: accolades at this point. But it's good to get it.

2366
01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:21,960
Speaker 1: But hopefully I don't get to play in that thing,

2367
01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:25,640
Speaker 1: and that would mean he could be playing in the

2368
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:29,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Hopefully it makes everybody's gonna say that right,

2369
01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:31,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully they don't have to play in the Pro Bowl.

2370
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 1: Even the guy's playing the probo play in the Pro Bowl.

2371
01:53:34,560 --> 01:53:36,040
Speaker 1: You don't what I mean, he actually play a game

2372
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,640
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl. Good for him, good for you know.

2373
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:43,200
Speaker 1: And I know there are snubs and people say this

2374
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 1: guy got snubbed and Bill's got snubbed. But and that's good,

2375
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:49,120
Speaker 1: but I don't want I hope it doesn't overshadow to

2376
01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:51,880
Speaker 1: Davious White being named to the Pro Bowl for the

2377
01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 1: first time. That's big, and that's a guy, you know,

2378
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:56,960
Speaker 1: deep into the first round in twenty seventeen. And yes,

2379
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 1: they traded down and gave up the chance to get

2380
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:02,760
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes and will debate forever, everyone will debate what

2381
01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:04,600
Speaker 1: kind of a move was that. Well, they got a

2382
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 1: really good player and they got a chance to draft

2383
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback the next year. In that trade too, they

2384
01:54:08,280 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 1: got a really good Pro Bowl caliber corner, as was

2385
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 1: it field Yates who said it earlier Today's he and

2386
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,680
Speaker 1: Gilmore the best two corners in the league. They got

2387
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:19,559
Speaker 1: one of the best corners in the league in that

2388
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:21,760
Speaker 1: draft first round, and it's he deserves to be in

2389
01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:23,800
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. I'm happy for him, and any Pro

2390
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 1: Bowl snubs that you may have in mind, don't let

2391
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:29,559
Speaker 1: that get in the way of feeling good about Trudevious

2392
01:54:29,600 --> 01:54:31,439
Speaker 1: White going to the probo. We were waiting on that too.

2393
01:54:31,479 --> 01:54:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he was good from the moment he got on,

2394
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:35,560
Speaker 1: and he knew he's headed for that caliber of player,

2395
01:54:36,040 --> 01:54:38,839
Speaker 1: and certainly this year is there. You just can't be denied.

2396
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:41,760
Speaker 1: He's top corner in the league. And it makes for

2397
01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:44,200
Speaker 1: an interesting matchup. They won't match up against each other,

2398
01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:47,120
Speaker 1: but they have Gilmore on one team and Trudevious on

2399
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 1: the other team, both former Bills cornerback draft picks. Makes

2400
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 1: it another little element of Saturday's games. What apps if

2401
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 1: that game happens and neither one of them has an interception?

2402
01:54:57,080 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 1: How do you measure who played better? Go by the

2403
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:04,440
Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks? How many catches do the Bills? Well, you know,

2404
01:55:04,600 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 1: we should talk about this. They have had Tradevious against

2405
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:10,160
Speaker 1: some opponents, shadow one receiver or not. I don't know

2406
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,400
Speaker 1: who you would do that with. When New England, you

2407
01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 1: really don't want Tradevious on the slot, right, So you

2408
01:55:14,520 --> 01:55:16,680
Speaker 1: don't want to put them too much on Julian Edelman.

2409
01:55:17,040 --> 01:55:19,200
Speaker 1: So who's you go with? Door set? You know, maybe

2410
01:55:19,480 --> 01:55:22,720
Speaker 1: nikkil Harry right, first round pick, probably would anticipate he's

2411
01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:25,040
Speaker 1: getting more snaps. I would anticipate he'll get more this week.

2412
01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 1: But maybe you just line them up left and right

2413
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 1: this week. What do you think maybe I don't know.

2414
01:55:30,240 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 1: That's it's interesting. I don't think they'll do one thing

2415
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:36,360
Speaker 1: all day, right because there's, like you said, there's nobody

2416
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:39,640
Speaker 1: out there they would do that unless they start putting

2417
01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:42,800
Speaker 1: Edelman on the outside and then maybe Tredevious will match

2418
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:45,000
Speaker 1: up with him, just knowing that Brady's gonna look to

2419
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:48,760
Speaker 1: him first and then double and take somebody else away

2420
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:50,000
Speaker 1: and see what you can do with the rest. What

2421
01:55:50,080 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 1: about Gilmore? John Brown? And maybe yeah, maybe I don't

2422
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:56,480
Speaker 1: think they'll put Gilmore on the slot either. So with

2423
01:55:56,720 --> 01:55:59,040
Speaker 1: me Cole Beasley and I think you know, if you

2424
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:05,000
Speaker 1: put um, maybe if you put Isaaia McKenzie or Andre

2425
01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:09,960
Speaker 1: Roberts or Robert Foster. I mean, which one of those

2426
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 1: guys you know, you know, worry about basically, you know,

2427
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:21,320
Speaker 1: you mean snaps Foster head Sunday zero really no offensive snaps. Yeah,

2428
01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:23,560
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Yeah, I thought it was then and I

2429
01:56:23,640 --> 01:56:25,440
Speaker 1: think it is now. I was looking at some numbers

2430
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 1: the other day. That's really interesting. And with the way

2431
01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:30,840
Speaker 1: the corners are playing at the physical side, you might

2432
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 1: think maybe maybe this is a a window for Duke

2433
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:37,360
Speaker 1: Williams thinking that. I don't know though he's been you know,

2434
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 1: we've been calling for that for four weeks. People the

2435
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:44,160
Speaker 1: game could be let's go to Duke and Lewis and hello, Duke,

2436
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:46,960
Speaker 1: you're on the air, Duke's call. Yeah, you know, everybody's

2437
01:56:46,960 --> 01:56:50,240
Speaker 1: watching the Bills, the whole nation. I think the managements

2438
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:53,760
Speaker 1: starting to get nervous about say Leslie Fraser or the

2439
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator or whatever, going to be a head coach somewhere.

2440
01:56:57,400 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, still got a few games to play, plus

2441
01:56:59,880 --> 01:57:02,320
Speaker 1: a playoffs, but it's gotta be in the back of

2442
01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:05,720
Speaker 1: their minds. They could be losing some coaching Yeah, um,

2443
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:08,480
Speaker 1: maybe in the back of their mind. I don't dispute that.

2444
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:10,840
Speaker 1: I think if they're smart, and you know what, they're

2445
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:14,600
Speaker 1: pretty smart, they probably have a plan in mind. You

2446
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:17,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They probably have if we lose him,

2447
01:57:17,120 --> 01:57:19,640
Speaker 1: we go here, whether it's on this current coaching staff

2448
01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 1: or elsewhere. And it's only a plan. It's not a

2449
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's a map for what they'll do. I'm

2450
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:26,520
Speaker 1: sure they have that, right, Don't you think they have

2451
01:57:26,560 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 1: a plan in mind if Frasier leaves or if Dabo

2452
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:31,760
Speaker 1: leaves and again, it could be somebody on the current

2453
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:35,640
Speaker 1: coaching staff or maybe not. Yeah, I think they do.

2454
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that how far down that rabbit hole

2455
01:57:38,960 --> 01:57:42,280
Speaker 1: they've gone, but I'm certain that some of these coaches,

2456
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:45,200
Speaker 1: and particularly these coordinators are going to get asked. Particularly

2457
01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:48,680
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, given his experience and his track record, is

2458
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:50,800
Speaker 1: a really good coordinator in the in the time that

2459
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:54,240
Speaker 1: he spends the interim coach in Minnesota. Oh yeah, Plus,

2460
01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:58,040
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna get interviews. I mean, yeah, that's right,

2461
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:02,720
Speaker 1: that's right, you know. All right, Thanks, let's go to

2462
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:06,600
Speaker 1: market in Tonawanda. Hello, Mark, you're on the air. Hi, guys,

2463
01:58:06,640 --> 01:58:11,360
Speaker 1: good afternoon. You've been mentioning today. And it's been mentioned

2464
01:58:11,360 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 1: before that the block punt was so critical in the

2465
01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:18,560
Speaker 1: first New England game, and it seems to my untrained eyes,

2466
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:21,280
Speaker 1: and maybe Steve can particularly talk to this. Being a

2467
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:25,400
Speaker 1: special teamer for so many years, it seems to me

2468
01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:29,720
Speaker 1: that other teams get very close to blocking our punts

2469
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:34,040
Speaker 1: once or twice or a game. And of course New

2470
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:37,360
Speaker 1: England has blocked two punts since our game. So I

2471
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 1: wondered if you could talk about that, you know, the

2472
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:43,800
Speaker 1: danger of a block punt by the way, I think

2473
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:45,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots is the very next game, right after Buffalo

2474
01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:48,280
Speaker 1: returned another one for a touchdown. If I'm not mistaken,

2475
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:50,360
Speaker 1: they didn't return that one for justtion. I think they

2476
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 1: got one. The next one they the second one they did,

2477
01:58:53,320 --> 01:58:56,280
Speaker 1: they went for a touchdown. But I'm not sure. I

2478
01:58:56,280 --> 01:58:58,480
Speaker 1: think the danger of a block punt. They got three

2479
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:01,040
Speaker 1: punt blocks I think, and two for TDS one in

2480
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:06,960
Speaker 1: the first Bills game. But yeah, certainly, Um, if if

2481
01:59:06,960 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 1: they're going to rush a punt, they're gonna get close,

2482
01:59:10,880 --> 01:59:13,520
Speaker 1: but they've only got you know, one point, you know,

2483
01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:17,120
Speaker 1: one point three or four seconds to get there. It's

2484
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:21,080
Speaker 1: hard to do. And um, they were, in fact in

2485
01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:22,880
Speaker 1: order to get the Bills punt in the first game.

2486
01:59:22,920 --> 01:59:26,080
Speaker 1: I thought they rolled the dice a little bit and uh,

2487
01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:28,400
Speaker 1: and they got a little bit lucky with a with

2488
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:31,280
Speaker 1: a bad snap, but they came right off the edge

2489
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 1: and it was it was a good block and it

2490
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:38,520
Speaker 1: ended up being a touchdown. So yeah, I certainly the

2491
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:41,200
Speaker 1: Bills will have that short up and have had it

2492
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:43,440
Speaker 1: short up since they gave up a block punt for

2493
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:46,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown in a game they lost by six points. Yeah,

2494
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:49,840
Speaker 1: that's pretty much a crusher. Thanks for calling. We're gonna

2495
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:51,800
Speaker 1: take a break. We've got coffee with the Bills coming

2496
01:59:51,880 --> 01:59:53,800
Speaker 1: up when we return. Come on back with us one

2497
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:56,440

2507
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:37,160
Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah, Mike Rico was good too. We

2508
02:00:37,200 --> 02:00:39,080
Speaker 1: should just replay you know what has that ever done

2509
02:00:39,480 --> 02:00:41,400
Speaker 1: on our show? Just to replay the last half hour

2510
02:00:41,520 --> 02:00:45,960
Speaker 1: or that half hour. We can we get away with it. Yeah,

2511
02:00:47,760 --> 02:00:50,000
Speaker 1: with anybody. I think it was good and if you

2512
02:00:50,040 --> 02:00:51,960
Speaker 1: missed it, look we don't have to replay it. Go

2513
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:54,520
Speaker 1: to the website, Go to Buffalo Vills dot Com. What

2514
02:00:56,400 --> 02:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Mike Terco was with us earlier today, Chris Brown was

2515
02:00:58,640 --> 02:01:01,680
Speaker 1: great with us earlier today. Field Yates was really good earlier.

2516
02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 1: Whether's today. Shack Lawson was that we've had a good

2517
02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:06,080
Speaker 1: show and we're looking forward to tomorrow's show as well.

2518
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Give us a call. Full nights open eight oh three

2519
02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight by fifty two

2520
02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:13,920
Speaker 1: five fifty. What is the biggest difference in the Bills

2521
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:16,440
Speaker 1: from their Week four matchup with the Patriots. Let's go

2522
02:01:16,560 --> 02:01:18,960
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet, shall we. It's brought to

2523
02:01:18,960 --> 02:01:21,320
Speaker 1: you by Cargan Moving Systems, the official movers of the

2524
02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:25,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Tiffany tweets this in Motor brings much needed

2525
02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:28,320
Speaker 1: balance to the offense that was missing in the first matchup.

2526
02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 1: His elusive running style should help the offense move the ball,

2527
02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:34,400
Speaker 1: helping sustain drives. In my opinion, if we scored twenty

2528
02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:36,400
Speaker 1: one points we win this game, it would be a

2529
02:01:36,520 --> 02:01:39,960
Speaker 1: wonderful early Christmas gift. Go Bills. You know what, I think.

2530
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:43,520
Speaker 1: You're right, Tiffany, twenty one points wins this game either way. Yeah,

2531
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:46,880
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. Yeah. From and also from Max

2532
02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Josh and Motor are the biggest difference. The defense was

2533
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:52,120
Speaker 1: spectacular in Week four, while Josh had his worst performance

2534
02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:55,280
Speaker 1: of the year and Singletary was no factor. If those

2535
02:01:55,320 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 1: two can perform as well as they have been, that

2536
02:01:57,840 --> 02:02:01,160
Speaker 1: could be the deciding difference in the game. Tam, Yeah,

2537
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:04,640
Speaker 1: and that's that's that's just it. I mean, this defense

2538
02:02:04,680 --> 02:02:07,320
Speaker 1: of the Patriots is good at making sure you don't

2539
02:02:07,360 --> 02:02:10,280
Speaker 1: play your best. That's what they do, and they're good

2540
02:02:10,360 --> 02:02:14,560
Speaker 1: at it. They're they're frustrating defense. Uh, they change their identity.

2541
02:02:14,600 --> 02:02:16,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna be something completely different than they were in

2542
02:02:16,720 --> 02:02:20,640
Speaker 1: Week one. Um, and you're gonna have to figure out

2543
02:02:20,680 --> 02:02:22,680
Speaker 1: what that's gonna be and then have an answer for it.

2544
02:02:23,600 --> 02:02:27,720
Speaker 1: That's that's the real crux of the problem. And while by, oh,

2545
02:02:27,800 --> 02:02:29,640
Speaker 1: by the way, you gotta be scoring touchdowns while you're

2546
02:02:29,680 --> 02:02:32,160
Speaker 1: doing it. Yeah, you know, yep, you know it was

2547
02:02:32,160 --> 02:02:34,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good player I'm watching just started watching Patriots

2548
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:36,880
Speaker 1: and you feel like you're know them pretty well. I

2549
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:39,320
Speaker 1: don't know much about John Simon, number fifty five. He's

2550
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:42,280
Speaker 1: listed as a defensive end. He's more of a linebacker type.

2551
02:02:42,280 --> 02:02:44,840
Speaker 1: And they got a lot of these in between sized

2552
02:02:44,920 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 1: guys John Simon's one of them, Jamie Collins, Dante High

2553
02:02:48,280 --> 02:02:51,800
Speaker 1: High Tower at Landon Roberts, Kyle van noy Um linebackers. Yeah,

2554
02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:53,960
Speaker 1: but they'll line them up on the defensive line and

2555
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:57,280
Speaker 1: on third downs, passing downs, you don't know what they are,

2556
02:02:57,320 --> 02:02:59,000
Speaker 1: you don't know who's coming, you don't know where they're

2557
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:02,040
Speaker 1: coming from. That's what kind of stymy Josh Allen in

2558
02:03:02,080 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 1: the Week four matchup, I think it really is. And

2559
02:03:04,680 --> 02:03:07,000
Speaker 1: I think that you know, if I'm the Patriots, you

2560
02:03:07,080 --> 02:03:09,000
Speaker 1: can't do the exact same thing you did to held

2561
02:03:09,040 --> 02:03:10,840
Speaker 1: the Bills to ten points where you can do a

2562
02:03:10,920 --> 02:03:13,920
Speaker 1: lot of it, and the third downs when they kind

2563
02:03:13,960 --> 02:03:15,680
Speaker 1: of stand around in a bunch at the line of

2564
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:17,920
Speaker 1: scrimmage and nobody's got a hand on the ground, or

2565
02:03:17,960 --> 02:03:19,480
Speaker 1: maybe one guy's got a hand on the ground. And

2566
02:03:19,560 --> 02:03:22,080
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen's sitting back there looking at it trying

2567
02:03:22,080 --> 02:03:24,640
Speaker 1: to sort through it, I'm sure they started looking at

2568
02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:27,200
Speaker 1: that video Sunday night Monday morning, right the Bills, Oh,

2569
02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:29,680
Speaker 1: you got what they're doing on defense, and they could

2570
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:31,600
Speaker 1: do the same thing again and make it look like

2571
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:33,680
Speaker 1: something else. Pre snap. I mean, they could line up

2572
02:03:33,680 --> 02:03:36,600
Speaker 1: in completely different way and then morph into that after

2573
02:03:36,640 --> 02:03:38,240
Speaker 1: the snap too. They could do all of that. So

2574
02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:40,560
Speaker 1: you have to have answers for it if you're the

2575
02:03:40,600 --> 02:03:42,839
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and certainly you have to have some confidence

2576
02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:45,000
Speaker 1: that you've learned a lot of things from the last

2577
02:03:45,040 --> 02:03:48,160
Speaker 1: time you played, and if you can manage your own mistakes,

2578
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:49,760
Speaker 1: you're going to be a much better football team to

2579
02:03:49,800 --> 02:03:52,440
Speaker 1: begin with. So it's gonna be a fun game. But

2580
02:03:52,640 --> 02:03:55,200
Speaker 1: I think it's you know here we are. I mean,

2581
02:03:55,280 --> 02:03:58,840
Speaker 1: we're expecting a ten seven game and see who can

2582
02:03:58,920 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 1: win it, you know, because that's we think we know

2583
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:02,520
Speaker 1: who these Bills, these Bills are right now. I got

2584
02:04:02,600 --> 02:04:04,720
Speaker 1: a call here from Zach and Orchard Park. Hello, Zach,

2585
02:04:04,720 --> 02:04:09,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey, Hey, a Murph's task. How are you doing? Good?

2586
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Good good? So, um, a lot of people have been

2587
02:04:12,880 --> 02:04:16,400
Speaker 1: calling about Duke Williams and there's got to be something

2588
02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:19,600
Speaker 1: that we're not seeing in the uh as fans, and

2589
02:04:19,720 --> 02:04:23,360
Speaker 1: so I was calling about a player similar skill set.

2590
02:04:23,880 --> 02:04:28,960
Speaker 1: Devin Funches got to Carolina connection six five. He's not

2591
02:04:29,040 --> 02:04:32,240
Speaker 1: a one year deal in Indianapolis, and I doubt he's

2592
02:04:32,280 --> 02:04:35,760
Speaker 1: coming back there with the wide receivers they have there.

2593
02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: But if he's hurts, they mean for this year and

2594
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:40,280
Speaker 1: next year you're talking about, right, Yeah, yeah, for next

2595
02:04:40,400 --> 02:04:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking I'm talking about He's missed most of this year,

2596
02:04:42,840 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 1: right with an injury, a collarbone or shoulder or something. Yeah,

2597
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:48,480
Speaker 1: he had a collar bone fracture and he was not

2598
02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:51,800
Speaker 1: a one year deal there. Yeah, just thinking about what

2599
02:04:51,920 --> 02:04:54,800
Speaker 1: you guys think for him twenty twenty. I know people

2600
02:04:54,840 --> 02:04:58,360
Speaker 1: have thrown Amari Cooper's name around. I don't see being

2601
02:04:59,080 --> 02:05:02,680
Speaker 1: overspending for a guy like that if he even leaves Dallas,

2602
02:05:02,760 --> 02:05:07,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree. I mean, and it'll be interesting

2603
02:05:07,480 --> 02:05:11,240
Speaker 1: to see what they think they can do and what

2604
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:15,200
Speaker 1: path they will take in the draft, whether they'll draft

2605
02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:17,480
Speaker 1: a guy like that or sign one in free agency

2606
02:05:17,840 --> 02:05:22,880
Speaker 1: or both or neither. You know, I mean that we

2607
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:24,760
Speaker 1: all think that they need one. They may see it

2608
02:05:24,840 --> 02:05:27,480
Speaker 1: differently and not do any of that, and they may

2609
02:05:27,600 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 1: just scour the waiver wire during the early part of

2610
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:31,640
Speaker 1: the season and wait for somebody to get rid of

2611
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:34,360
Speaker 1: a guy. So how they handle that is going to

2612
02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:37,640
Speaker 1: be interesting, and how they constitute the roster after this year,

2613
02:05:38,360 --> 02:05:39,760
Speaker 1: no matter what it looks like, it's going to be

2614
02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:42,520
Speaker 1: an interesting time because I think right or wrong, I

2615
02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:44,560
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be a lot of new faces on

2616
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:47,560
Speaker 1: the squad next year. Not that they the guys here

2617
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:50,520
Speaker 1: didn't work out, but that there were a lot of

2618
02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:52,200
Speaker 1: them on one year deals or in the last year

2619
02:05:52,200 --> 02:05:53,880
Speaker 1: of their deal. They got to get better at receiver.

2620
02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:57,680
Speaker 1: I guess I would hope that they get one in

2621
02:05:57,760 --> 02:06:01,560
Speaker 1: the draft, just because it's it's more economical and more affordable,

2622
02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:04,680
Speaker 1: and you can get the you know, you gotta get

2623
02:06:04,760 --> 02:06:06,680
Speaker 1: the guy in the draft, but you can kind of

2624
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:08,360
Speaker 1: mold that guy into the guy you want. I don't

2625
02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:10,480
Speaker 1: know Funchs is okay. I guess I'd like to see

2626
02:06:10,520 --> 02:06:12,640
Speaker 1: him do better than that, to be honest with you. Hey,

2627

02:11:38,280 --> 02:11:40,200
Speaker 1: about the Bills and how much progress they seem to

2715
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:42,480
Speaker 1: have made from last year to this. Here was Mike Trico.

2716
02:11:43,800 --> 02:11:48,240
Speaker 1: You've watched the Bills last year and it was almost

2717
02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:51,800
Speaker 1: after the snap of a Bill's play two seconds and

2718
02:11:51,920 --> 02:11:53,600
Speaker 1: you kind of watched the play because you know Josh

2719
02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:56,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be running around doing something. And this year

2720
02:11:56,560 --> 02:12:02,640
Speaker 1: it's become less frantic and more planned and more stable,

2721
02:12:02,840 --> 02:12:06,080
Speaker 1: and you can just watch a player develop and where

2722
02:12:06,120 --> 02:12:08,840
Speaker 1: the full credit goes to Sean and to Brandon Mean

2723
02:12:08,880 --> 02:12:12,560
Speaker 1: and everybody else. I means offenses, brand is there's the

2724
02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:15,640
Speaker 1: left tackle in the quarterback and nobody else essentially was

2725
02:12:15,720 --> 02:12:18,120
Speaker 1: here right And to have that in a double digit

2726
02:12:18,200 --> 02:12:21,640
Speaker 1: win team, it's astonishing. So watching this Bill during the

2727
02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:23,640
Speaker 1: year has been terrific. And that, as you guys know,

2728
02:12:23,760 --> 02:12:27,280
Speaker 1: it all starts with a terrific defensive effort and great

2729
02:12:27,320 --> 02:12:31,360
Speaker 1: personnel acquisition and great play calling. If you missed Mike Dirigo,
