17
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: to be done. And you, you, my friend, are are hosting.

18
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: And I if you knowing your knowing your disdain for

19
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: turkey as a meal, I was convinced that Ham was

20
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: going to be on the task your dinner table, and

21
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: that is that is not going to be the case

22
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: at all.

23
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: Certainly would have been an option before Turkey, but as

24
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: it is, it's gonna be beef for me. And hosting

25
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: is not really When you got your two older brothers

26
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: in town, it's just the three of you, it's not

Speaker 1: are needed because you're acting like.

34
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: They're gonna be baked potatoes because that's the easiest thing

35
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: in the world. No mash, no, no mash that it's

36
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: gonna be baked potatoes and steaks.

37
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,800

00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: going to be running to the fridge to pour the

63
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,080

Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun.

66
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: I remember there was a time where I think I

67
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: was about speaking of keeping things in pristine condition and

68
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: then using them immediately. I will tell you a quick

69
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: story I'm about six or seven and I'm going to

70
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: a Yankee game with my dad, his friend and his

71
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: son and like six or seven years old, and we

72
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: got somehow, some way, we got signed balls, baseballs of

73
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: the seventy eight Yankees who just went back to back

74
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: and won their second World Series. Wow. So I'm holding

75
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: this thing like by the seams, right, like I don't

76
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: want to touch any signature in your buddy's bounty. So

77
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: for nine innings, I'm holding this thing by the seams.

78
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: And you know, it's nineteen seventy nine. You don't have

79
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: ziploc bags or right. You know, I'm just trying to

80
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: you know, if you have to think you're cradled in

81
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: my glove. You know, at the game, for like nine innings,

82
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 1: we're in the back of the station wagon going home

83
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: and my my buddy Peters, he's rolling it back and

84
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: forth to me in the back of the station wagon.

85
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: We're just playing catch with the thing on the floor

86
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: is yeah, he's just rolling his around names they're getting smudged.

87
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I was just I'm seven, and I have full awareness

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: that this is a mistake. This is a giant mistake.

89
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: But he needed a ball to play with and that

90
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: was the only one available. So that's what we're using

91
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: because as sure as hell wasn't using my right. You

92
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: still have the ball. Yes I do, Yes, I do,

93
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: and it looks pretty good.

94
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: You're a goner, so yeah, I get it.

95
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: That's why I'm wondering, like, who's gonna treat it like

96
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: a collector's the Zamboni gravy boat forty forty five years old,

97
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: forty six years old. Isn't it worth something? Now? Yeah? Yeah,

98
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: you got kids in college. Cash that thing in? Just

99
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: not do anybody good. Now you're killing me, Steve, because

100
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: you know what the first thing I'm gonna hear when

101
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: I get home now what my wife telling me. See,

102
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: Steve thinks the same you doing. That's why you get

103
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: that to cash it in. It's come why.

104
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: You were seven years old. It's not like your great

105
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: grandfather willed it to you. Well you got it at

106
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: a ball game. They were giving them out. Get cash

107
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: it in, bro. That thing is that thing is Listen,

108
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: here's what people don't know. It's meaningless maybe to you, yeah,

109
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: and to you too, it should be. It's not even

110
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: it's not even there.

111
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: You know.

112
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: Nobody listen, people ask me for autograph. I am so

113
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: happy to sign autogresson.

114
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: You know why, because I got a lifetime supply. I

115
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: can sign stuff until my hand falls off. I don't care.

116
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: There were some there were guys in my when I

117
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: was playing. They get you know, you always get fan

118
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 2: mail as a player.

119
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: That's the difference with the seventy eight Yankees, like a

120
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: handful of them are dead.

121
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: Makes it, cash it in, cash it and wait a

122
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: couple of years till the fiftieth anniversary. Then cash it in,

123
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: go to softbies, sell that thing for one point three.

124
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: So anyway that yeah, that I had guys back in

125
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: the day. They wouldn't sign stuff because all they wanted.

126
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: And they're like, I'm not signing this stuff. Somebody's can

127
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: it's they're making it more valuable and he's giving it away.

128
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, so, so you're the perfect example. What if

129
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: you had sent the baseball the seventy eight yeke, you

130
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: sign it and send it back to you.

131
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: But what do you mean? You know what?

132
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: They don't because they're making they think that I don't

133
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: make that guy right?

134
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: You know why? I think that's yeah, send it to

135
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: Brownie so he can send his kid to college. He's

136
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: not what do you think.

137
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: He's gonna do by heroin, He's not gonna waste it.

138
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Sign it for the guy. Yeah, but I mean, let

139
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,000

00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: but it'll happen eventually. It'll happen eventually.

158
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: But you're a you're a seed. That's why.

159

00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: explain it to me. And then when we got older,

210
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: like you could get a signed ball from the t

211
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: but it's a fact simile. All the rings are just

212
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: printed on yell on seventy eight. They weren't doing that,

213
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: like they had to actually sign the ball.

214
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: Wow, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1: for the game of baseball. Yeah, you had an easy

219
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:26,960

00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: of Osteopathic Medicine. And this was a big one that

313
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people were waiting for coming out of

314
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: the buy first day, Brack on the practice field for

315
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: the team, and first the non participant Dalton Kincaid with

316
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: his knee injury, not practicing today. They're going to see

317
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: how he fares the rest of the week. Then for

318
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: limited participants, Keon Coleman back practicing for the first time

319
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: since suffering his wrist injury. He will practice in a

320
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: limited capacity today, so too will Spencer Brown, who missed

321
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: their last game against the Chiefs with an ankle injury,

322
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: so he's practicing in a limited capacity. Matt Milano continues

323
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: in his twenty one day practice window. I believe they

324
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: have to make a decision here because I checked on

325
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: this and thankfully we got an answer from upstairs. The

326
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: bye week counted towards Matt Mlano's twenty one day practice window,

327
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: even though he did not have a game count. So

328
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: they have only until December fourth to make a decision

329
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: on whether to activate him, not December eleventh, as some

330
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: might have thought.

331
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: So Thursday, Wednesday, Wednesday, week from today, week from today

332
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 2: is when they have to make a decision.

333
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: So the decisions, the decision could come sooner. It could

334
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: come at the end of this week, and he could

335
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: be on the field on Sunday, but they have until

336
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: December fourth to make an official decision. It could come sooner,

337
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: but at the latest it will come next wed So

338
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: here's Brownie and I's relationship.

339
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: Brownie's the pro and I'm the fanboy, and so I'm

340
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: sitting there today and I'm going Brownie, what happens in game?

341
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: In first drive of the game when Milano actually gets

342
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: to play, and then he does like he does what

343
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 2: Taron Johnson did, and what who's the other?

344
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: Who else?

345
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: And Taylor rapped it first pass attempt of the game,

346
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 2: they pick it off. Milonald picks off the first throw

347
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: of the game in high mark.

348
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Let's go.

349
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: That the roof will come off that place. It would

350
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: if he comes back and makes any kind of play

351
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 2: like that early in this game. It's on baby, all right,

352
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: you know, because that's we all know that, and that's

353
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: what we've missed. Milano is a great Linebackery's solid, stay

354
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: all that. But the guy shows up in moments, right.

355
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: I mean, that's his that's his mojo and the vibe,

356
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: and that's what fans love to see. A guy show

357
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: up when nobody thinks he's going to show up or

358
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: doesn't expect it and does something like this picking the

359
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: picking the ball off of the Raiders forehead and and

360
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: and intercepting it, you know, jumping in front of this

361
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: pass and running it. I mean, the guy just shows

362
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: up and then he gets the penalty from taunting Zach Wilson.

363
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 2: It's just so delicious.

364
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: What happens if he do. Hey, you can speak it

365
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: into an existence. I'm finding the.

366
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: Existence, man, I I mean, because that's what people want

367
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: to see. And uh, you know he's this last injury.

368
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: Uh and we've talked about this a little bit before.

369
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: It seems like it really kind of for the injury

370
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: that he had last year, that the broken leg he

371
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: had last year, this injury really gave him some extra time,

372
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: and guys have commented. Guys on the team and coach

373
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: have commented that he is much more fluid on his

374
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: feet now that he's had an extra couple of months.

375
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: This was a peck injury.

376
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: That's kept him. Oh, it was a bicet I'm sorry,

377
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: bicep injury that kept him out this time. And of

378
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: course you can run and move and do all kinds

379
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: of stuff with a bicep injury that you couldn't have

380
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: done if it was a lower body injury. So that

381
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: his legs and his ability to move are one hundred

382
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: percent now.

383
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: The other earning. Yeah. The other interesting notes to make

384
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: mention of as well. Dwayne Carter and Tyland Grabil, two

385
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: members of this year's draft class who went on IR

386
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: with a wrist injury that required surgery. That was Dwayne

387
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: Carter and a core muscle injury that required surgery Tyland Grabil.

388
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: Both had their twenty one day practice windows opened today,

389
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: so they'll have until three weeks from today the team

390
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: will to decide whether or not to add them back

391
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: to the active roster, and both players have already fulfilled

392
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: the minimum four game requirement while on IR. Carter's fourth

393
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: game was the Chiefs game. Grabil has been on IR

394
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: since much earlier in the season, so he's well passed

395
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: the four game window, so that would be good. I mean,

396
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: you'd get your fourth He was the swing tackle. He

397
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: won the swing tackle job out of camp as a rookie.

398
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: And they had high hopes for him. And yeah, the

399
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: muscle core muscle happened.

400
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: So it's good news. They're getting healthier. Maybe not right

401
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: away this week, but getting healthier for sure.

402
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 2: We're going to get too caught up in the what

403
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: ifs and ans, but this is why teams just and

404
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 2: and I'll say this too.

405
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm.

406
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: A big fan of it, but this bye week that

407
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: the number one seed gets it used to be the

408
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: one and the two seed before they went to the

409
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 2: seventeen format. It is a huge advantage, huge advantage. Think

410
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: of what, think of what you got a chance of

411
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: getting back on your roster this late in the season.

412
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: If you're the Bills and this is with six games

413
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: to play. Yeah, fresh legs, man, you get some fresh

414
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: legs and get some time off. It is a It

415
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: is a huge difference maker the bye week. And it's

416
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: ridiculous to think that you know, we used to think, Wow,

417
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's a good time for the bye week,

418
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: and it's always a good time it is. Week one

419
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: is an okay time for the bye week, let alone

420
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: week eighteen. It is a huge advantage.

421
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: That's why.

422
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you got head You're looking around the room

423
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: and a head coach and your coaching staff on. Guys,

424
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: we got to find a way. We got to find

425
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: a way to walk the Chiefs down. We've got to

426
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: get there. Yeah, you know, it's it's a huge advantage.

427
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: I think it's it's still got to be on the table,

428
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: and I think that's why it's going to affect the

429
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 2: decision making down the stretch for the Bills.

430
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: This week's game against the forty nine ers is presented

452
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: have to pivot now, though, to head coach Sean McDermott,

453
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: who addressed the media about an hour ago on the

454
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: latest We brought you up to speed on the injuries,

455
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: but some of the other thoughts that he has entering

456
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: week thirteen and preparations for the forty nine ers time serious.

457
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: He's moving forward, Yeah, probably what you would expect, just

458
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 4: in terms of, you know, getting back in the flow endurance,

459
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 4: you know, because he hasn't played football in quite some time.

460
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 4: So really just trying to take it, you know, one

461
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 4: day at a time, one play at a time. Not

462
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 4: to sound like it's coach speak, but that's that's really

463
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 4: what we're looking at, is that. I think Ryan was sorry.

464
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: That's possible for Sunday night.

465
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 4: We'll see. Yeah, for all three of those guys, we'll see.

466
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 5: Sorry, the same same line of questioning when he does

467
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 5: eventually get activated, do you anticipating that's going to be

468
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: just kind of a pitch count.

469
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know what you're talking about that, Yeah, Yeah,

470
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 4: I would say for any of those guys you know

471
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 4: who haven't played for some time U d C. Same

472
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 4: ways as Thailand guys that have missed multiple weeks.

473
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're getting ready for the forty nine ers that

474
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 6: are going through so many injuries right now too.

475
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: Looks at like at this point in the week, just

476
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: trying to prepare.

477
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 7: For anything that they might have.

478
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, there's some moving targets right with who

479
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: who who We're expecting to play. Uh, you know, we

480
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 4: have to prepare for for for them to be as

481
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,239
Speaker 4: healthy as they've ever been. Really just because we don't know.

482
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 4: So that's that's really how we're approaching it.

483
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: The prep work that you need to do because of

484
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: not only the number question they have, with the level

485
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: of players who are questions.

486
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 4: Uh yes, I mean probably no different from our situation,

487
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 4: you know, with the different players we've had out and

488
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: do players play do they not play? So yeah, it

489
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 4: makes it makes it a little tougher and and you

490
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 4: spend a little bit more time with the prep.

491
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: Dealt with this before. But given impending weather, how does

492
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 5: that impact where you do you have to basically put

493
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 5: together two plans?

494
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 4: Again, Yes, from a preparation standpoint. You know we've been

495
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 4: through it before, so you know we have some experience

496
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 4: with it. You know, we can't control the weather. I

497
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: think only he can control the weather. So I know

498
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 4: he can control the weather.

499
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's.

500
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 4: Really just about how we respond to it. Our staff

501
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 4: does a phenomenal job, the people that have shown up

502
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 4: for the years that I've been here, at a minimum

503
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 4: and beyond my time here of shoveling the stadium out,

504
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 4: I think that that will that will happen again, if

505
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 4: if if, if, if need be, and we'll get ready

506
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,239
Speaker 4: to play a football game.

507
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 8: There's more comfortable to become with that coming since the

508
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 8: first time that happened, it was probably a big deal.

509
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 8: I mean it was a big deal for a lot

510
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 8: of people. But how much more comfortable you become with

511
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 8: the whole weather situation and knowing how to plan for

512
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 8: it and knowing what to expect and knowing.

513
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 3: Things come through somewhere?

514
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean again, just I've always been amazed since

515
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 4: since uh moving here that you can get a foot

516
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 4: two feet, three feet seven feet and the roads are

517
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 4: cleared in some miraculous way. So credit to all the

518
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 4: people that are out there working or that will continue

519
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 4: to work this winter as we get into the into

520
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 4: the snowy months and days and weeks here. What a

521
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 4: phenomenal job they do. Really didn't plan on saying that,

522
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 4: but I'll use that as an opportunity to, uh, to

523
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 4: praise those people that are out there clearing the roads

524
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 4: like they do for for all of us.

525
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 6: You don't get to pick when it happened, But are

526
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 6: you happy with when the bye week fell this year?

527
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: And do you feel like it can a good time?

528
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: Uh?

529
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's always you look at the schedule

530
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: and you're like oh, where's that buye? And you're going

531
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 4: down and you're going and then you finally get to it,

532
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 4: You're like, oh, okay, so we got to we got

533
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 4: to get through whatever it was, you know, nine, ten,

534
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: eleven weeks whatever there. So you take it just like

535
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 4: you take the schedule and where you play and who

536
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 4: you play, one week at a time. Honestly, that's that's

537
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 4: I think the best approach every year really.

538
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: A week.

539
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 9: You guys have had so much success off the buy

540
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 9: not letting things like when you have two weeks off,

541
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 9: people go away, getting things ramped back up to where

542
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 9: they were before the buye. What do you do, if

543
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 9: anything differently to get ready to come off the buy.

544
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 4: It's a good question. Uh, you know, I don't really

545
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 4: have the Hey, this is exactly what we do formula.

546
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 4: It's it's just more of I think us really just

547
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 4: getting back to what we do, getting back to to

548
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 4: the basics. Today we're, uh, you know, we're going to

549
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 4: practice and have a have a normal practice in pads

550
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 4: and and uh working the fundamentals that we need to

551
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 4: have for for a good football team in San Francisco

552
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: coming here Monday.

553
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: No.

554
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 8: No, okay, So there.

555
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 4: Was a the players were in, but there was no walkthrough.

556
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 4: But I just want to be clearly clarify.

557
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Are Dwayne Carter and Thailand both having their windows open

558
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: to practice today?

559
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 8: Yes?

560
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. What would you say?

561
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 6: What have you seen from Bobby Babbage?

562
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 10: Uh?

563
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 6: And his game management as the season has gone on?

564
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 4: Game management meaning game calling.

565
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: And just the way he's managed the best play calling? Yeah?

566
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like anything else, I think you get

567
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 4: better with experience, and it is to me the tough

568
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 4: to be a play caller is the toughest job to

569
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 4: me on the football side of the building, right, no

570
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 4: offense to anybody else's job. My job included not only

571
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: do you have to shape a game plan, but you

572
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 4: have to call it, call it, call a game. And

573
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: you've got sixty five seventy plays roughly on average to

574
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: get exactly right, to put the players in exactly the

575
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 4: right position, and that is really hard to do against

576
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 4: good football teams, in particular on your fourth down.

577
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 7: You know what's has been made of how you've kind

578
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 7: of evolved regarding your fourth down thoughts when you are

579
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 7: entering those types of situations. How often would you say

580
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 7: or can you maybe give a little glimpse into when

581
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 7: you get the third down you already know, and certainly

582
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 7: what happens on third down can affect it. But what's

583
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 7: that thinking of getting to what you're going to do

584
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 7: on fourth down before you're even.

585
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: Half fourth down. Yeah, I would say ninety percent of

586
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 4: the time you already know, we already know ninety percent

587
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 4: of the time. There's ten percent of it where you're going, Okay,

588
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: we're going to go for it on fourth and two,

589
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 4: and that ball ends up at fourth in a long two,

590
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 4: maybe really a three, but it says in the scoreboard two,

591
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 4: which is what you know. I know a lot of

592
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 4: people out there see and you're like, oh, I didn't

593
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: go for it's fourth and fourth and two. Well it's

594
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 4: not really two. It's when you're out there live, it's

595
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 4: a two and a half or almost three. So that's

596
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: where it gets a little bit, not to get too

597
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: grangler and specific, tim but that's where it gets tough

598
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: because you've got to make a decision on saying, hey,

599
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 4: what do we want to do here? It's not on two,

600
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 4: it's certainly not on one and a half. It's on

601
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: almost three. But scoreboards reading two.

602
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: All right, that's head coach Sean McDermot addressing the media

603
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: earlier today. We have to take a break here, but

604
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: when we get back, we'll take some of your phone

605
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: calls and also present game day mentality for the Bills

606
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: coming up this Sunday against the Niners Pepsi Relationship Hotline

607
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: as well. Here on One Bill's Live presented by Collide Health,

608
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Game Day mentality is presented by

609
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: Best Self Best Self Behavioral Health, the official mental health

610
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: partner of the Buffalo Bills, and the game day mentality

611
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: this week is how does one ramp themselves back up

612
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: coming off the bye? You're playing the defending NFC champions,

613
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: granted a little dinged up, but how do you ramp

614
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: yourself back up to play these six games on the

615
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: stretch running.

616
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: Well, sayt's on a bien getting some time off is true,

617
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: you do kind of do a mental reset, But it's

618
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: much easier to ramp up coming off a bye because

619
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: it feels like you've had a month off, let alone

620
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: four days or whatever they gave these guys when they

621
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: didn't have to come in. You just get a big

622
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: reset and you come in energized and you really don't

623
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: care what the Niners are going through.

624
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean they don't.

625
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: It's not about them being dinged up and having a

626
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: couple of guys out or questionable and all that. It's

627
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: about you. So and that's you know, wishing bad luck

628
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: on your opponent is you know as for ween you know,

629
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: you know, you don't care if they're at their best

630
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: or not. You're ready to go. Let's go put me

631
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 2: at my best. I'll take those guys. We will take

632
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: those guys at our crew. So that's what it's like.

633
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: So it's about you. And you come out and you're

634
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: recharge and refurbished, and you know you've had a chance

635
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: to do some extra work and your coaching staff's gonna

636
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: have a plan. You're gonna have time to put extra

637
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: stuff in, some extra wrinkles, and the more importantly, you're

638
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: gonna be fresh. So yeah, that's that's what it's about.

639
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: It's not about their injuries and their problems and their season.

640
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: It's about you being your best and have an extra

641
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: time to get there. It's it's energizing, it's not difficult.

642
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: So that is best self behavioral health. We go to

643
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: the phones and let's see here leading us off is

644
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: Bob in Hamburg. What do you got for us? Bob?

645
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 11: You find to ask you a question, how'd your mother

646
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 11: make out in Kansas City after the Chief's got beat here?

647
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 11: And by the way, your autograph sells for sixty five

648
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 11: dollars out there.

649
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, it's selling for that. I don't

650
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: know if they're paying anybody's paying for that. So anyway, Yeah,

651
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: she did great. We told the stories she got uh

652
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: the water Buffalo Lodge here, and Buffalo sent her one

653
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: of the hat the fur hats with the horns on it.

654
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: They fed extit to her when they heard Brownie and

655
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 2: I talking about my mom. For those of you who

656
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: don't know the story she had. She lives. Her and

657
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: my dad live in a retirement facility. Great little spot.

658
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: They love it and they get treated really well there

659
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: and they're very happy there. And so, but it's in

660
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: Kansas and you can imagine everybody else is a Chiefs fan.

661
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: So my mom has got the bet out that if

662
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: the Bills beat the Chiefs like they did two weeks ago,

663
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: everybody out there they got they all got to anybody

664
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: who's in on the best gotta wear Bills gear. And

665
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: if the bills lose. She's got to wear chiefs gear. Well,

666
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: she wore this water buffalo hat like a crown.

667
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everywhere.

668
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: And she's she's not a she's not a shrinking violet.

669
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: She she was out there so nobody can gloat like

670
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: my mom can gloat. And she was gloating. So there

671
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: you have. She had a blast and it was an

672
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: app she had. She was so thrilled to get that

673
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 2: water buffalo hat.

674
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I saw so.

675
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 2: She she loved it. She's a pistol man, yes she is.

676
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: So it was great. She's ninety four, My dad's ninety four.

677
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: They've been married seventy years. So days like that don't

678
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 2: come along like that Murray offense. So it was great.

679
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: It was very good.

680
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: Thanks for asking.

681
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty cool.

682
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: And what was this other question?

683
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't a question, it was a statement. You're autographed

684
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: selling six bucks. Okay, Uh, let's go to Marty in

685
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: Ohio next. What's up Marty?

686
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 10: Hey, brownie, there's a contingent from the Hall of Fame

687
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 10: on the way to your house. You better hide that thing.

688
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: Oh it's hidden, It's well hidden.

689
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 10: Okay. I'm only telling you because I'm a red Sox

690
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 10: fan and there's too much yanky stuff in there already.

691
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 10: But seeve, I got it.

692
00:34:58,520 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: It is what it is.

693
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 10: I got a friend from Buffalo named Joe and he

694
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 10: is from McCarthyism. I'm going to have him contact you.

695
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 10: And they are raffling stuff off for the homeless. And

696
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 10: the Bills have another weapon that they don't know about,

697
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 10: number forty four. Because when the snow flies in Lancaster,

698
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 10: these kids played like sled dogs. And he was more.

699
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 10: I mean, you'd have to go back to his high

700
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 10: school films, but he stood out on the field on offense.

701
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 10: I know they're not going to do this, but he

702
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 10: needs to get in there. He's cracking pads everywhere. And

703
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 10: I'll hang up and you guys can comment.

704
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's funny.

705
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 2: We were having the conversation too about how bad it

706
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 2: is for the Dolphins, and I've got I had a

707
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: I had the paper somewhere where you know they stink

708
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: in cold weather. Yeah, we got Buffalo Joe on our squad. Yeah,

709
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: he's you're right, he's like he's like a sled dog

710
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 2: out there, right. So it's it's fun to think about.

711
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 2: I think this there is going to be some snow

712
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 2: this weekend. We know it, and how much or how little,

713
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 2: and when it falls, we know it. All the timing

714
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: is going to have an effect on this game. And

715
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 2: I I'm of a mind that you know, it's not

716
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 2: always a plus for the home team, particularly when you're

717
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 2: the better team, or seemingly so.

718
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: I will still go down as saying the best snow

719
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: player in Bill's history is Lashawn McCoy. And it's not close. Yeah.

720
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: He I don't know what it was. He just had

721
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: a knack for playing in the snow. And anybody that

722
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,959
Speaker 1: watched that overtime game against the Colts when he scored

723
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown in like five inches of measurable snow,

724
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: oh will agree with me. I remember after the game,

725
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there in the postgame press conference. I'm asking him.

726
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: I said, do you what do you do to change

727
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: your running style to keep your balance so well in

728
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: snowy conditions where you're footing his suspect. He goes, I

729
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: just run. I was like what, I was like, you know,

730
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: just run? You have to change how are you run?

731
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: You can't run like you're regularly doing snow He did, Yeah,

732
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: And and this isn't the only example. He had a

733
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: huge game for the Eagles back in the day in

734
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: this he is the best snow player I have ever

735
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: seen in a football game in my life.

736
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: And I don't know if he's ever going to get there,

737
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: but la Shaw McCoy was truly a great player. He

738
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: really was very talented. And I'll never forget. I did

739
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: Monday night football on radio on the sidelines for Westwood

740
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 2: One a lot, and I was down there and I

741
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: saw it, did you know some Washington games and some

742
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 2: Philly games and all that. I did a bunch of

743
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 2: NFC East games because you know primetime games that the

744
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: NFCAS gets a ton of them. So I watched le

745
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: Sean McCoy play a bunch and I was always I

746
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: was like, wow, who is that? I mean, I didn't

747
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 2: know who the guy was. My first was like, wow,

748
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: look at that guy. He's unbelievable. And then you know,

749
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 2: subsequently years later they like, yeah, they're Keiko Alonso, They're

750
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 2: they're trading him and there, well what are they getting back?

751
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: They go Lashaw McCoy. I go, wait, oh wait, they

752
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 2: got Lashan McCoy. I couldn't believe that trade. When it

753
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: happened for Buffalo. I could not believe it. That guy

754
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: was legit and he played like that here. He was

755
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: a dude.

756
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: Bills were number one in the league in rushing the

757
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty sixteen.

758
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: He was the dude, and they just traded him for him.

759
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: I was I was flabbergas.

760
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a surprise for sure. As far as

761
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: weather goes, in case you were wondering, the snow is

762
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: supposed to start rolling in here on Saturday. One to

763
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: three inches is the forecast for Saturday in Orchard Park,

764
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: and then another one to three through the course of

765
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: the day on Sunday. Remember the game is Sunday night.

766
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: So hopefully it doesn't snow at a rate where they

767
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: can't clear the field. It doesn't sound like it will be,

768
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: but as we know Western New York weather can change

769
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 1: in a minute.

770
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: We're not telling our listeners anything then now, I mean

771
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: it all. It's all about the timing, and they're saying

772
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: it's gonna like steady and long term, yeah.

773
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: Which leads me to believe we're looking at like a

774
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: fine snow because if it's in snow long term, but

775
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: you're only going to get one to three inches. That

776
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: means it's going to be that very fine granular snow,

777
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: not the heavy, giant, quarter sized flake.

778
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: This first snow of the year is always that big, heavy,

779
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: wet stuff.

780
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's got I mean between now and then,

781
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: it's got to get cold in a hurry, right like

782
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: you would think, right because it's been warm. We've had

783
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: a warm fall by all accounts. Let's go to Judy

784
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: and Buffalo next. What do you got for his? Judy?

785
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 5: Well, you know, my.

786
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 12: Major concern is here is Wednesday. I don't even know

787
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 12: if Bac thirty can throw the ball or if he's

788
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 12: undergoing and MRI. What really bothers me is the forty

789
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 12: nine ers earlier this year. If I'm not mistaken, we're

790
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 12: fined and or sanctioned for misreporting injuries. No is it

791
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 12: Leake going to hold them to some sort of standards,

792
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 12: So we know pretty soon. So the Bills can really

793
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 12: do we prepare for this game or are they just

794
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 12: trying to simply get them a bye because there's some

795
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 12: sort of a championship team.

796
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it'll go that far, Judy,

797
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: but your point is well taken. They do kind of

798
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: shroud their injuries and don't give you the four to

799
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: one one. And last week again looked a little suspicious now.

800
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: The way Kyle Shanahan explained it was, Perdy went out

801
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: on Wednesday through felt better after getting some rest for

802
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: his throwing shoulder. Then Thursday came out and felt bad,

803
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: so bad that he was he was pulled from practice

804
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: and then didn't practice Friday, and before we knew what

805
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: he was declared out for Sunday's game against the Packers

806
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: and Brandon Allen had to start in his place. I

807
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: will read you exactly what Kyle Shanahan said on Monday

808
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: concerning Purdy. He said, yes, he did some light throwing

809
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: today Monday and it went all good. He had We

810
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: didn't push it that hard, but did some light throwing,

811
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: which was a good sign that the pain had not

812
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: come back. We'll rest it Tuesday and see how he

813
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: feels as the week goes. Now. Obviously, with them being

814
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, they have not yet practiced or

815
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: taken the practice field today, so it's hard to know.

816
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: He was then asked it was reported over the weekend

817
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: by Fox Sports that Perdy had a second MRI on

818
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Is that true, And if so, why a

819
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: second one? Shanahan said, quote, because yes, it's true. Most

820
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: guys get we always get more than one. When you

821
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: get one and it seems all right, then you have

822
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: some pain. Later in the week, you get another one

823
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: to make sure you didn't miss anything. So that's what

824
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: he did after the Thursday practice. So that is all

825
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: we really know at this point in time. A lot

826
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: will probably be learned today when he addresses the media

827
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: and then based on whatever his practice participation is, but

828
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: we're probably not gonna know that till at six seven

829
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: pm tonight because they're on the West coast.

830
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: But that's right, and you kind of have to depend

831
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 2: on the local media in San Francisco to hold the

832
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: Niners accountable because they.

833
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: Got nailed yea for the mc ser steep.

834
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, McCaffrey injury. They thought, you know, he's like, well

835
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 2: if he and all of a sudden, the guys out

836
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: half for twelve weeks, ten weeks, and they you know

837
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: it was he's got some swords, So they were making

838
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 2: it out like McCaffrey was gonna play when he had

839
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 2: no shot, and they got fined for it. So you're

840
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: right to be suspicious judy of this Brock Purty news.

841
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 2: I think if I'm McDermott and the Bills the best

842
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: you you prepare for the best version we have seen

843
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: this year, the forty nine ers. That's what you prepare for,

844
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 2: which is Purty, which is Purty and all of those

845
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 2: jokers and Nick Bosa and the whole gang, Trent Williams.

846
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: You prepare like all those guys are gonna go, and

847
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: if they don't, you've got some stuff maybe ready or

848
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 2: whatever you can go to that that you might want

849
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: to try against a lesser player, like if the left

850
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 2: tackle's not there, but you know you can easily adjust.

851
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: Brock Purty's different. You prepare for their best self, and

852
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: that's how you do it. But you're right. You would

853
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 2: like to think that they have a responsibility to be

854
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: honest with their reporting, and they have been found not

855
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: to be.

856
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,680

Speaker 1: who asks if you were an upcoming player now, do

873
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 1: you think you'd have a similar career as you had

874
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties? Do you think you'd have

875
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: more or lesser about the same success.

876
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 2: I doubt that I could reproduce what happened to me

877
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: in the nineties. In the eighties and nineties.

878
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: Are you basing that more on the rules changes? On

879
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: special teams? Rules changes?

880
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, I got a chance to play with a

881
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: special group of people, and this group here in Buffalo's

882
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: pretty good crew too, No question about it. I think

883
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: it would be difficult to replicate what I did. It's hard.

884
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: Like I've said a lot of times, it's hard to

885
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: make a superlative play in the NFL on special teams

886
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 2: these days, unless somebody makes a catastrophic mistake. That's more

887
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 2: of what the big plays happened. We saw a turbine

888
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: go the distance against the Dallas Cowboys for the Redskins,

889
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 2: or for the Cowboys against the Redskins. Kick returners can

890
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: always do that. I was an okay kick returner. The

891
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: kick covering was my forte and kicks a lot fewer kicks.

892
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 2: It's just a different atmosphere because now with the punters

893
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 2: are so much better, they kick the ball farther, they

894
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: kick it into the end zone or towards you know,

895
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 2: they fair catch a lot of them that they didn't

896
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 2: used to. They can do it from further away. This

897
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 2: Aussie style kick has changed completely the far end of

898
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 2: the punt kickoffs. I've gone the way of the dinosaur.

899
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's very difficulties. The last guy

900
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: we saw, we saw Matt Slater do this for a

901
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: long time, and even he it was hard to make

902
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: a play than anybody remembers. On special teams, it was

903
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: a different It was a completely different atmosphere and vibe

904
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 2: covering kicks and returning kicks on those teams, not just

905
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 2: the guys who returned kicks or kicked it, but the

906
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 2: coverage guys and the protection guys and the return team.

907
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 2: It's a much different vibe these days than it was

908
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 2: back then. So my career was in large measure due

909
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 2: to the era I played in. I thought it was

910
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: the golden era of special teams was when the rosters

911
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 2: got to fifty three and there was no salary cap,

912
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: so you could have guys like me. I covered kicks

913
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: with Martin Pike for a decade a decade now free

914
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 2: agency came into the latter part of my career, no question,

915
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: I played till ninety seven. But it was a different

916
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 2: animal and teams had We had a core group of

917
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 2: guys a Carwell Gardner who, by the way, happy birthday,

918
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 2: Carwell Gardner, Mark Pike, myself, Chris Hale, Jamie Mueller. We

919
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: had a ton of guys who played special teams professionally

920
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 2: for a long time together, and it was a different vibe.

921
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: Is a much different atmosphere in the league than it

922
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 2: is now, So no, I don't think I could have

923
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: replicated it all right.

924
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: That is excuse me, mister Tasker presented by Total Sports Enterprises,

925
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 1: the official and exclusive autograph merchandise partner of the Buffalo Bills.

926
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: We've got to take a break here because coming up

927
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: in our number two, we're going to get the four

928
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: to one one on the San Francisco forty nine ers

929
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: from forty nine ers beat reporter for NBC Sports Bay Area,

930
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: Matt Mayoko joins us next here on One Bills Live

931
00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: presented by Kaleide Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

932
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: This is One Bills Live presented by Callida helth.

933
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: All Right, hour number two here on a Wednesday, Chris Brown,

934
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you and please to be joined now

935
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: to help us out with the forty nine ers. Forty

936
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: nine ers beat reporter for NBC Sports Bay Area. Matt

937
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: Mayoko joining us on the line here, and Matt, we

938
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 1: got to begin with the mash unit that you're covering

939
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,479
Speaker 1: these days. Eight players listed his out last week, even

940
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: Trent Williams, who was listed as questionable, doesn't play last week.

941
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: Kittle fortunately comes back from a hamstring and looked pretty

942
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: good last week. I don't know how he came out

943
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: of the game. But what would you headline going into

944
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: this week, Perdy, I'm guessing kind of tops the list

945
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: here as to what he's going to do. Where are

946
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 1: we with him?

947
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, we will see how this week progresses.

948
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 14: But the fren Airs were optimistic that last week Perty

949
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 14: would be able to play against the Packers and that

950
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 14: just didn't come to fruition. His right shoulder just was

951
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 14: bothering him. He had a couple of MRIs during the

952
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 14: week and it didn't show any structural damage. So he

953
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 14: got back from Green Bay on late Sunday night and

954
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 14: through a little bit on Monday was feeling okay. So

955
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 14: today's going to be a big day for him to

956
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 14: see if he can kind of take his throwing to

957
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 14: another level. And now the same goes for Nick Bosa

958
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 14: and Trent Williams as well. So yeah, the fo Airs

959
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 14: have been kind of banged up and it certainly showed

960
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 14: against the Packers. When you think about this, the forty

961
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 14: Niners and the Packers played in the NFC Divisional Round

962
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 14: a year ago, not even a year ago. Only two

963
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 14: of the forty nine ers defensive starters in that game.

964
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 14: In their playoff victory over the Packers, suited up and

965
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 14: were on the field for the game against the Packers

966
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 14: on Sunday, So really, you know, not a big surprise.

967
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 14: I don't think that the Packers beat them, but maybe

968
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 14: a bit of a surprise of just how decisive and

969
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 14: kind of embarrassing it was for the forty nine Ers.

970
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 14: I mean, the coach, you know, Kyle Sheanahan used that

971
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 14: word embarrassing, so did Fred Warner, and they got absolutely

972
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 14: pummeled thirty eight to ten by the Packers. So, yes,

973
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 14: they have been banged up. There are several guys who

974
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 14: won't be on the field, who are on IR but

975
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 14: they're hoping to get some of their key guys back

976
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 14: for this game Sunday night.

977
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 2: And which of those key guys has really remains the question.

978
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 2: How I mean, this is a team most of the

979
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 2: injuries they've suffered seem to be, except for maybe the

980
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 2: McCaffrey injury which lingered for forever, they seem to be.

981
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 2: They're gonna shake these off. Perty's going to get back

982
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: in the lineup, if not this week, next you know

983
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 2: what I mean, in the next couple of weeks, both

984
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 2: of the same thing. Trent Williams has been a little

985
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 2: bit of a yo yo in and out kind of

986
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 2: give us an idea when, if at all, can they

987
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 2: expect to get their key guys back.

988
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 14: Well, I mean, you look at it, there are a

989
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 14: lot of key guys who are just out for the season.

990
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 14: You know, Brandon Ayuk, who they signed to a big

991
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 14: money contract right before the start of the season. He

992
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 14: tore his acl so he's out. Jay Von Hargrave, who

993
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 14: was their big free agent acquisition defensive tackle a year ago,

994
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 14: he's out with a torn triceps. Dre Greenlaw who tore

995
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 14: his achilles in the Super Bowl, not even in the

996
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 14: Super Bowl, on the sideline of the Super Bowl running

997
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 14: out to the field. He's back at practice today, but

998
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 14: he won't be available to play the Bills on Sunday.

999
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 14: So yeah, McCaffrey is back, but he's far less productive

1000
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 14: at least through three games than he was last year

1001
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 14: when he won NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

1002
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 2: And some of the other guys.

1003
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 14: Talao Hufanga, who was an All Pro type player a

1004
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 14: couple of years ago, he's been out for most of

1005
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 14: the season. So you know, a lot of these guys

1006
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 14: aren't coming back. They're hoping Charvarius Ward will be able

1007
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 14: to get back on the field and make a contribution.

1008
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 14: He took a bereavement leave. He was out for three

1009
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 14: weeks after the death of his young daughter. So that's

1010
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 14: something that Fordyn ares, aren't. You know, They're in no

1011
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 14: rush to get him back out there. It's based very

1012
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 14: much on his time frame. But you know, I don't

1013
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 14: know that the ford AHers can be real competitive, to

1014
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 14: be honest with you, they haven't shown it at any

1015
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 14: point this season as far as being able to be

1016
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 14: a consistent football team. Their five and six records speaks volumes,

1017
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 14: you know, to who they are. Other people will say, well,

1018
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 14: they really significant leads get away in three division games

1019
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 14: losses to the Rams, the Cardinals and the Seahawks, or

1020
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 14: else they'd be right back there, you know, in the

1021
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 14: playoffs and ready to make another run. But boy, the

1022
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 14: team we saw in Green Bay looked nothing like a

1023
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 14: playoff team. And you know, the Bills are playing good football.

1024
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 14: I mean, this has an opportunity when the fred Airmers

1025
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 14: are traveling back to back weeks, the Bills coming off

1026
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 14: there by, the this game has an opportunity to get

1027
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 14: really away from the forty nine ers in a hurry.

1028
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And one thing that you don't usually see in

1029
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan teams is giving up leads. Lad in games,

1030
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: they've giving up over one hundred points in the fourth quarter. Now,

1031
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: that's twenty eighth in the league in terms of most

1032
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: points giving up. And look, I understand no Hufanga and

1033
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: center field there for you. You know, you don't have

1034
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 1: Ward in the lineup, so you're missing some key pieces

1035
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 1: and your pass in what it usually is without Bosa

1036
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: in the lineup. So I get all of that, and

1037
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: that's probably a big reason why. The thing that shocked

1038
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: me with the Niners defense last week, Matt was the

1039
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: lack of eye discipline with a lot of that pre

1040
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: snap motion stuff that Green Bay throws at you. It's

1041
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: not unlike what San Francisco does to a certain degree

1042
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: in their own running game. So for them to not

1043
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: be prepared for that was very puzzling for me. What

1044
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: did you make of that?

1045
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean their first year defensive coordinator, Nick Sorenson.

1046
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 14: You know, at this rate, I don't know if he's

1047
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 14: going to be a second year defensive coordinator. So you know,

1048
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 14: there have been times where players have noted that they

1049
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 14: haven't been prepared for certain things, and they've made the

1050
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 14: adjustments as the game went on. That first quarter, that

1051
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 14: first half against the Packers was as bad as I've

1052
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 14: ever seen as far as just being able to defend

1053
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 14: the run. They looked unprepared, They couldn't tackle, had ten

1054
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 14: mistackles in the first quarter alone against Josh Jacobs in

1055
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 14: nineteen for the game. So yeah, I mean, this is

1056
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 14: a team with a lot of issues. And you know,

1057
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 14: when you look at the raw numbers as far as

1058
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 14: where the forty nine ers are offensively, where they're at defensively,

1059
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 14: they don't look too dissimilar to a year ago. The

1060
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 14: big difference is on both sides of the ball, just

1061
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 14: the production in the red zone. You know, last year

1062
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 14: the fort Aerions had the best red zone offense in

1063
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 14: the league. They scored sixty eight percent, scored touchdown sixty

1064
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 14: eight percent of the times they got into the red zone.

1065
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 14: A lot of that had to do probably with Christian

1066
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 14: McCaffrey twenty one touchdowns last year. He hasn't scored in

1067
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 14: three games and the forty nine ers red zone offense

1068
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 14: is among the worst in the league. Forty nine Ers

1069
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 14: red zone defense last year was was pretty good, and

1070
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 14: this year it's among the worst in the league. So

1071
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 14: those are the areas where, you know, a lot of

1072
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 14: times it kind of feels like their yards that they're

1073
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 14: getting are kind of you know, empty calories, and they're

1074
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 14: they're settling for too many field goal attempts, and then

1075
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 14: defensively they're not keep teams out of the end zone.

1076
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 14: So it's a really difficult time to look at the

1077
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 14: forty nine Ers that kind of figure out where they are,

1078
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 14: you know, as their Super Bowl window still open, it

1079
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 14: as it slammed completely shut. That's the question on a

1080
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 14: lot of forty nine Ers fans' minds. But when you

1081
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 14: look at it, it just seems like they's just a

1082
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 14: tick off in every area. And I can't tell you

1083
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 14: that they've dropped significantly in one area other than those

1084
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 14: those stats I cided about red zone. Also, their special

1085
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 14: teams have been awful, Steve, I'm sure that makes you

1086
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 14: just kind of have your head spin around when you

1087
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 14: hear that. But for hours, that's where they've really suffered.

1088
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 14: Special teams, red zone and then everything else justice seems

1089
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 14: to be a tick off, and there I can't point

1090
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 14: to one area of the team where they've upgraded or

1091
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 14: where they're better than a year ago. And that's a

1092
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 14: significant problem.

1093
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll say this too, it had their their

1094
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 2: schedule and the way it is played out really speaks

1095
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 2: to a team that just missed in the Super Bowl,

1096
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 2: you know, ten months ago. They're lumping up some bad teams.

1097
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 2: They beat the Jets and the Patriots and the Cowboys,

1098
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 2: and they lumped them up pretty good. But in their

1099
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 2: losses against min they lost by you know, six to Minnesota,

1100
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 2: by three to the Rams, by one to the Cardinals.

1101
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's one of those teams where they're

1102
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 2: still really good and it takes a really full effort

1103
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 2: to beat them. But you're right, it seems to be

1104
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 2: about them, not so much as their opponents.

1105
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I would say that, you know, they have

1106
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 14: they're close, you know, And I even hate to say that,

1107
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 14: because you know, they have lost those those three division

1108
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 14: games that they should have won. In two of the cases,

1109
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 14: they had huge second half leads and then let those

1110
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 14: get away. So that's a five and six team that

1111
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 14: could easily be eight and three, but they're not eight

1112
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 14: and three. And there are times even if they were

1113
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 14: eight and three. I think we'd probably be looking at

1114
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 14: them and saying, kay, they're they're kind of a mediocre

1115
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 14: eight and three because they've done they've shown none of

1116
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 14: the dominance that we've seen from this team, you know,

1117
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 14: the past three seasons and last year and route to

1118
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 14: the super Bowl. So I don't know, it's just been

1119
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 14: an off year and it almost started. I mean, i'd

1120
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 14: go back to the super Bowl. You know, they're the

1121
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 14: only team in NFL history that's ever led twice in

1122
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 14: the fourth quarter and once in overtime. It's still lost

1123
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 14: a game. That locker room was as the soul crushing

1124
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 14: as I think I've ever seen as far as how

1125
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 14: they reacted to that. And then you get into the

1126
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 14: off season, and when you've gone that far three playoff

1127
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 14: games a year for the past three years, I mean,

1128
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 14: it has to take some sort of emotional and physical toll.

1129
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 14: And then you have the kind of the weird offseason

1130
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 14: where ayuk is holding out or actually it was holding in,

1131
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,439
Speaker 14: and Trent Williams is holding out. You have all kinds

1132
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 14: of other kind of weird things that happen, and you

1133
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 14: just got to got the sense that you know, the

1134
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 14: stars weren't aligning and it's difficult to define, but I

1135
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 14: just kind of go back to what I said is

1136
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 14: that they just seem to be off and it's hard

1137
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 14: to explain. But if you watch this team play, your

1138
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 14: eyeballs will tell you that same thing that even though

1139
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 14: there is a lot of talent on this team, they

1140
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 14: haven't put it together. And I'm not sure that they've

1141
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 14: even come close to putting it together since they're opening

1142
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 14: game Monday night against the Jets, where they scored on

1143
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 14: eight consecutive possessions and they dominated that game. That's the

1144
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 14: last time they've dominated a game this season.

1145
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: Matt, thanks for the time. It's always we know you

1146
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: got to get to work out there, so we'll let

1147
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: you get to it.

1148
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 14: Thanks for the time, all right, Chris, Steve, thank you

1149
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 14: so much for having me.

1150
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: All Right, that's Matt Mayoko joining us from NBC Sports

1151
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: Bay Area covers the forty nine ers for them, and yeah,

1152
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,919
Speaker 1: it is puzzling. I mean, it is a chock full

1153
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: of nuts roster. They got talent of the elite variety

1154
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 1: all across the board. A lot of them are injur now.

1155
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: And Steve, you can relate to this, I mean you

1156
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: guys went to four straight Super Bowls. All the playoff

1157
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: games you played, it was almost like a whole another

1158
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: season on your body. Yeah, I mean it. And these

1159
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: guys have gone to two Super Bowls in the last

1160
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: three years and went deep in the year they didn't,

1161
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: So I mean, you look at that, and I mean

1162
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: that's a grind. It's tough, right.

1163
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. There were gay years when I think we played

1164
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: five preseason games. We played an American Bowl like a

1165
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 2: Berlin or London, and that back then it was four

1166
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: regular regular four preseason games for everybody, and we had

1167
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 2: a fifth with I don't know what it was. It

1168
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 2: was some and an American Bowl. Sixteen regular season games.

1169
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 2: That's twenty one games, and then three playoff games. It's

1170
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: twenty four games. It's a long time.

1171
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: And and if you watch these guys last week, Steve

1172
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: like McCaffrey.

1173
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 2: Looked slow, It looked mentally tired.

1174
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Almost as if this team got old overnight.

1175
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think now, I think there it gets to

1176
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 2: the point where you we've all seen it. Teams, it

1177
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 2: happens to all of them at the same time because

1178
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 2: they're all in this mental they're on the same mental train, right,

1179
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 2: they're trying to, you know, stay sharp. They see the

1180
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: same obstacles in front of them, like I, like I

1181
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 2: said to Matt when he was on you know, they lost,

1182
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 2: lost by six, lost by three, lost by one, you know,

1183
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 2: and you know they're beaten. They beat the Seahawks after

1184
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 2: losing to the Seahawks, or lost to the Seahawks after

1185
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 2: beating them, uh by, when they lost by three. You know,

1186
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 2: they just beat Tampa Bay by. They're in these games

1187
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 2: and it starts to grind on them, and they never

1188
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 2: feel like they're It's exhausting, and I think it's discouraging, Brownie,

1189
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 2: when you're playing a season and you never feel like

1190
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 2: you have all your bullets to use, You never feel

1191
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 2: like you're your best, You never feel like you have

1192
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 2: all your guys, you never feel like.

1193
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Fully prepared. Yeah, and then the whole thing ends up

1194
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: being a lost year. And as you know, and there's

1195
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: they're a good football team, yeah, And as bad as

1196
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: their luck may have been, this might be just the

1197
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: tonic that a team like the Niners needs, Like miss

1198
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, get everybody rested and healed up right,

1199
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: and go take another run at it next year.

1200
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 2: And they yeah, and yes, yes, that's not the.

1201
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: Goal obviously, but where you're sitting right now last in

1202
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: the division. Granted you're only a game back in the

1203
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: lost column here, but your division record is one in three.

1204
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: That's a lot of ground to make up. And it

1205
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: still might not be enough if you win your last

1206
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: three division games anyway, So not making the playoffs might

1207
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: be just the tonic this team needs after three very

1208
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: deep playoff runs in consecutive years. I think the bodies

1209
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: are hanging here, and this injury list, I think is

1210
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: proof of that absolutely.

1211
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 2: And you're thinking, what they have left is the Buffalo Bills.

1212
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 2: Then they play the Bears in the Rams, then the Dolphins,

1213
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 2: the Lions, and the Cardinals. So they've got, you know,

1214
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 2: the Lions thrown in there, along with two division games

1215
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 2: in the last four and then the Bills this weekend early.

1216
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 2: That's an uphill battle at the end of the season.

1217
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 2: That is a gauntlet there at the end for them,

1218
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 2: because the Arizona Cardinals are playing. They're leading the division,

1219
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 2: albeit by one game, but that's an I'm with you, brownie.

1220
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 2: They look mentally shot to me.

1221
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: They are last in the league at forcing punts from

1222
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: their opponents in the fourth quarter. It's like seventeen percent

1223
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: of the time they force a punt off an opponent

1224
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. I think they're tired and worn

1225
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: out and a lot of these guys are certainly not

1226
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy, and you see it in the

1227
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: way that they play. You think about what Christian McCaffrey

1228
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: looked like last year when he had two over two

1229
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: thousand total yards from scrimmage, and I think he won

1230
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year and the rushing title. And

1231
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: you look at him now, and granted it's only a

1232
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: game or two back, three three games.

1233
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 2: Back from maybe third back.

1234
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this one is his third and yeah,

1235
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: you got to get back into game shape. And maybe

1236
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: that's part of the issue here, but bilateral Achilles tendonitis

1237
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: is no joke. I mean that directly impacts your explosive ability.

1238
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: And looking at him against the Packers last week, he

1239
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: did not have it. Uh, he did not look like

1240
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: the Christian McCaffrey I'm used to seeing. I don't know

1241
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: if you feel different now. That could change this week.

1242
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 2: I said, so you get McCaffrey back, and everybody's like, Okay, cool,

1243
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a little juice here we go here,

1244
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 2: and he dropped two straight games, one to a division

1245
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 2: opponent and the other to the Packers who you beat

1246
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 2: in the playoffs the year before. And you get crushed

1247
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 2: by that team. That is a very discouraging stretch when

1248
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:52,439
Speaker 2: you thought you were gonna get better.

1249
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Ye, let's get back to the phones at eight oh three,

1250
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eight eight five fifty two five

1251
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: fifty into Jim in Penfield.

1252
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 15: What's up, j Hey, how you doing today?

1253
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 10: Guys?

1254
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: Good? Good?

1255
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 15: Okay, Actually, Steve, I got a question more about a

1256
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 15: rule change, and that has to do with the hip

1257
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 15: drop tackle. Now, I've seen a couple of them. I'm

1258
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 15: pretty sure I've seen a couple of them happen over

1259
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 15: the past two weeks, and yet they aren't calling them. Now,

1260
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 15: what constitutes a hip drop tackle and how do they

1261
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 15: determine to call it?

1262
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 2: Well, it's a good question by you, Jim, And here's

1263
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 2: here's what you got to know. The hip drop tackle

1264
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 2: is a real thing, and it's where you grab the

1265
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 2: guy high and drop your leg, your body across the

1266
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 2: back of his legs. You can tell you can imagine

1267
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,439
Speaker 2: how bad that hurts when he can pull the guy

1268
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 2: back over his own legs and your body. Guys are

1269
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 2: getting hurt doing it. That's why they outlawed it. Now

1270
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 2: here's the problem. It's really difficult for officials to see

1271
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 2: it as a hip drop tackle, even if it looks

1272
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,919
Speaker 2: like it. There are there are three criterias. I don't

1273
01:05:58,920 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: know if the top of my head.

1274
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Their feet when they first, you know, engage the ball carrier,

1275
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: swiveling their hips to swing their lower half onto the

1276
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: lower legs of the ball carrier, and then dropping their

1277
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: weight on him. All three elements have to be present

1278
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: for them to throw the flag, and it.

1279
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 2: Happens at light speed. So what Here's what the league

1280
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 2: has told the off This is what I understand that

1281
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 2: league has told the officials. If you see it and

1282
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 2: you call it, it's fine. If it's an egregious one,

1283
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 2: yes call it, but don't be too preoccupied with looking

1284
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 2: for it, because we'll look at the film and we'll

1285
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 2: get it by finding guys.

1286
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: After the fact.

1287
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 2: We'll go back and have guys will Guys will get

1288
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 2: letters in their locker and guys, do guys are getting

1289
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 2: that's happened.

1290
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, guys are getting fined all the time.

1291
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 2: Across the league for hip drop tackles, and they're just

1292
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 2: telling the officials. Unless it's egregious and a guy's hurt

1293
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 2: and all you know, everybody in the in the whole

1294
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 2: stadium knows it, you can call. But if it's like eh,

1295
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1296
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 16: If all three criteria were there, so I don't know

1297
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 16: should I throw it at If there's any of that,

1298
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 16: just keep it in your pocket and we'll find the

1299
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 16: guy later, and the and the players will get the

1300
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,479
Speaker 16: message through their wallet rather than a penalty on the field.

1301
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 2: And that's the way the least try to trying to

1302
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 2: handle it. They're making the game safer. I don't have

1303
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 2: a problem with it, but that's why it looks That's

1304
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: why it looks a little inconsistent, inconsistent to you because

1305
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 2: the officials call it once in a while, but not

1306
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 2: every single time you think they might.

1307
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: It's a puzzling approach though, to take, because if you

1308
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: want it to get corrected, I think it's more effective

1309
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: to do it in the moment, not post haste in

1310
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: the mail with a fine. I mean, you want to

1311
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: find the guy, I'm totally cool with that, but I

1312
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: think you have a greater impact if you officiate it

1313
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,439
Speaker 1: in the moment rather than be like, well, I wasn't

1314
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure. I mean, how many times are

1315
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: they not one hundred percent sure about pass interference? They

1316
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm a problem throwing the flag for that. So what

1317
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: the hell's the difference with hip drop tackle? And look,

1318
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: they explained it to us in training camp. All three

1319
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: elements have to be present. You have to leave your feet,

1320
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: you have to swivel your hips, and you have to

1321
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: drop your body weight down on the lower legs of

1322
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: the ball carrier. All three elements have to be there

1323
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: to draw a flag. We've seen examples of that though,

1324
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 1: and there's still haven't been flags. And I think it's

1325
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: more effective if you officiate it in the moment. I see.

1326
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: I think that sends a more direct message first of all,

1327
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: for the rest of that game, for every other player

1328
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: on the field making tackles. And then secondarily, I think

1329
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: it's gotten more far ranging impact because the flag's been thrown.

1330
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: It could be a pretty damaging foul to that team

1331
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 1: and lead to a scoring drive. And who knows what

1332
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: players have already played that day or watching that game,

1333
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: going oh man, we can't be doing those tackles. They're

1334
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: going to kill ourselves if we do that. I just

1335
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: think they have to officiate it in the moment. I

1336
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: think it would be much more effective approach, but that's

1337
01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: just me.

1338
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm well, be honest. I think the league

1339
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 2: is interested in getting it right, but they also don't

1340
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 2: want to throw the officials into any more of a

1341
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 2: microscope than they already are. And let's give the officials

1342
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 2: a chance to work into that new call slowly, particularly

1343
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 2: since it is a personal foul and it's a game

1344
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: changer sometimes. So I think they'll probably have elevated as

1345
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 2: we get closer, they'll start saying, okay, now start calling them.

1346
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 1: We want we expect you to call them.

1347
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,799
Speaker 2: And believe me, they give film study to the officials

1348
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:34,560
Speaker 2: just like they do players. They'll say, you should have

1349
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 2: called this one right here, you should have called that

1350
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 2: one right there, or more egregious, you should not have

1351
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:44,600
Speaker 2: called this one. You know, most teams and coaches and

1352
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 2: players are okay with a non call more so than

1353
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 2: a call that should not have been made, that was made.

1354
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 2: Missing something's one thing. Calling something that never happened is

1355
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 2: really enraging for most of these guys.

1356
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna pivot here really quickly to the

1357
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: football relationship hotline. We had a couple of questions we

1358
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: wanted to get answered, and we're quickly running out of

1359
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 1: time here on the show. So John sent this one

1360
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 1: via email and said, season ticket holder, I can't take

1361
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 1: Monday off. A sick call won't cut it either. What

1362
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: are your thoughts, guys. So he's clearly got tickets to

1363
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: the game, he's a season ticket holder, but it's a

1364
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. He can't take Monday off and he

1365
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: can't call in sick. I'm gonna tell you to take

1366
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:30,480
Speaker 1: a nap in the afternoon.

1367
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 2: You gotta take You gotta take a nap on on

1368
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 2: Sunday before the game and do and you gotta curtail

1369
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 2: your imbibing in your alcoholic intake the day of Yeah, yeah, and.

1370
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 1: Then just make it work. Then for nothing. We'll be

1371
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: here on Monday after work and set Sunday and I'll.

1372
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 2: Be yes, we'll show up bright and early at noon.

1373
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: But uh, but yeah, John, I would I would recommend

1374
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: an afternoon nap, like two hours, a long one, and

1375
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 1: then maybe leap in Sunday, then take a nap in

1376
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: the afternoon before you come out to the stadium.

1377
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 2: And get home and get to bed as fast as

1378
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 2: you can and sleep as late as you can before

1400

Speaker 3: red clear of mine, come back ready for another like

1402
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:25,960

1403
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking just before we came back on

1404
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 2: you know. It's yeah, you know, physical rest, take a

1405
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 2: nap and all that stuff. Definitely, but it's a much

1406
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 2: as a mental break too, So I was telling you

1407
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 2: to think about something else for five seconds, yeah, other than.

1408
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: You know, playing.

1409
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I took like some of the break I was here,

1410
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 3: but I even took like some days where I didn't

1411
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 3: even come to the building just to get myself a

1412
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 3: break from just even seeing a red and blue of

1413
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,680
Speaker 3: our So I feel like that little bit of like

1414
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 3: separation from the game and I think about it definitely

1415
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 3: helped me get a reset to come make in hungry

1416
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 3: for like another half of the season.

1417
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: Bye week's a lot easier too. I'm an off a

1418
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,560
Speaker 1: win and if they wanted that over the Chiefs in

1419
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: week eleven, and you get I need you to walk

1420
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: us through this. You get the game plan Tuesday, Wednesday whatever,

1421
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning probably, and they start doing installs and you're

1422
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 1: seeing that there are probably gonna be some scenarios in

1423
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: the course of this game where you're gonna be one

1424
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 1: on one with Chris Jones, Like that is not an

1425
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 1: assignment that most people in this league want from an

1426
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: offensive lineman perspective, But you were giving it and you

1427
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: handled it like pretty well in most cases. Like how

1428
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 1: how did you feel going in knowing your coaching staff

1429
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: had the confidence in you to give you that assignment,

1430
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: and then how did you get yourself ready to execute

1431
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: when called upon?

1432
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 3: I just when the coaches like putting at a game plan,

1433
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 3: when I realized they were gonna get a lot of

1434
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 3: one on ones, it just made me. This gave me

1435
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 3: confidence that the coaches got confidence that we gonna at

1436
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 3: a block on one on one and we get those chances.

1437
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 3: Just go out there and do we talk? And me

1438
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 3: I kind of just got ready, like in at a game.

1439
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 3: I didn't want to make the moment bigger than what

1440
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 3: it was. I mean, it kind of is technically because

1441
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 3: we know we're playing against a good team and a

1442
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 3: good guy up front. But just my preparation was the

1443
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 3: same for every like high it was strout there week,

1444
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 3: So when the moment came, I didn't look too big.

1445
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 3: I kind of went back to my roots, went back

1446
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 3: to what I practiced all year, and how I kind

1447
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 3: of game, planned out the week to set against something,

1448
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 3: and when the time came, I feel like I rose

1449
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 3: to the occasion, like my best of my ability. Yeah.

1450
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 2: It's kind of cool to see too, because last year

1451
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 2: as a rookie, they wouldn't have done that.

1452
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 3: I don't think they was done that right, probably wouldn't

1453
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 3: have done that.

1454
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 2: It's got you tell me you're a different guy this year,

1455
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 2: a little bit different.

1456
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:35,719
Speaker 1: I mean you're growing.

1457
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 2: And how is this year when you can step back

1458
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 2: and look at it, how much different are you this year?

1459
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 2: How has it been different? You know, describe the difference

1460
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 2: in the growth between year one now.

1461
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 3: I just feel like it's a lot about my confidence,

1462
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 3: like where I'm at now and just knowing the offense

1463
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 3: better too. I feel like the conversation I have with

1464
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 3: Coach Chrome now is more in detail, Like I don't

1465
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 3: ask many questions, but when I do, it's more meaning

1466
01:14:58,479 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 3: behind it than last year. I just trying to just

1467
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 3: like kind of stay above water. But now it's like

1468
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 3: I'm getting a more in depth detail, like what we're

1469
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 3: running this play for where Josh is like is it

1470
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 3: a quick pass? Is it a long one? Like they're down?

1471
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 3: Like if the defense making pressure on the other side

1472
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 3: and stuff like this to helped me realize.

1473
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:14,639
Speaker 2: You know enough to ask questions.

1474
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. Yeah, So I feel like being having those

1475
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 3: conversations help help me. He's also helped my coaches, I understand, like, oh,

1476
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 3: he's definitely like learning, like becoming a more student of

1477
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 3: the game. I feel like at this level it's more

1478
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 3: than just being physical. If you just got to be

1479
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 3: a student of the game, if you want to be

1480
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 3: good enough to like have a good, successful career.

1481
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: And on top of that, people forget this already because

1482
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: it seems like that game was three weeks ago, but

1483
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 1: you had Vanding next to you also, so like Spence

1484
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: isn't in there, not that you know, not that Bandy

1485
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: can't handle it, but still it is a change from

1486
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: what the lineup had been for a long time, all

1487
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 1: going all the way through. You guys went all the

1488
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: way through last year Scott free without missing any man

1489
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: starts to injury, and now all of a sudden, Spence

1490
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 1: is out. It's the biggest game of the year, and

1491
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: you got Vanding next to you, and you got this

1492
01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,640
Speaker 1: assignment with Chris Jones. So how did you kind of

1493
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: navigate ate that with Vandy to make sure you guys

1494
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: were on the same page for the game that week.

1495
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 3: I think it went back to OTAs. Me and Van

1496
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 3: did a lot of reps to get in OTAs because

1497
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,600
Speaker 3: the Spencer had a deal on off season injury. Come

1498
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 3: back to when you played OTAs, so all of OTA's,

1499
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 3: me and Vanda had got we took our OTAs together,

1500
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 3: so I kind of we went back kind of to that,

1501
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 3: like said, yeah, we rested on that. Then like in

1502
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 3: the game, it kind of just just communicated. We just talked,

1503
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 3: just made sure we knew exactly what it was doing.

1504
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 3: And when it was like third and long and I

1505
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 3: got Chris Jones and we know we're on the man's side.

1506
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 3: And if if he's lined up a little wideutil like

1507
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 3: give me a hand and like stell of his slur

1508
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 3: on your set to help me get to Chris Zones

1509
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 3: and then like he can take his set how even

1510
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 3: want to. But small stuff like that I feel like

1511
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 3: helped us. But Vanda came out there and like did

1512
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 3: his part and like he definitely like rose it to

1513
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 3: the moment. But also it's like old line even when

1514
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 3: one person like not in an equation if we all

1515
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 3: communicate like we have been. It bangs the other person

1516
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 3: with us, Like I feel like we can't and like

1517
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 3: skip a beat from how we practice and how we played,

1518
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 3: how world we worked together. So I feel like even

1519
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,759
Speaker 3: though it was a switch up with the line lineup,

1520
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 3: I feel like it wasn't too much of a you know,

1521
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 3: hindredge on us.

1522
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 2: What is the what are the early messages you're getting

1523
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 2: from your coaching staff about this Niners team coming in?

1524
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 3: They got a good defense. I mean they got fred

1525
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 3: On that backer, they got Bosa Leonard up front. I

1526
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 3: mean they're inside guys, they rotate. Well, we're just getting

1527
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 3: a lot of they like they play hard, they jet

1528
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 3: up feel kind of like how the Jets played like

1529
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 3: they they d line and kind of shoot Russia field

1530
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 3: and they use their hands. So we just kind of

1531
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 3: more so we want to play with a physical style

1532
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 3: kind of how we've been doing like the last few weeks.

1533
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 3: But we want to come out there and like play

1534
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 3: up brand of football that they're not used to it

1535
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,759
Speaker 3: and kind of like set the tone airlift that makes sense.

1536
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 3: But we also we definitely like knowledge they got good players.

1537
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 3: If we got a bit kind of form and be

1538
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 3: ready to play against him.

1539
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 1: One thing I wanted to talk to you about because

1540
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to ask too many linemen

1541
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 1: about this, but the effectiveness with which you guys have

1542
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,680
Speaker 1: run the football in the low red zone. I mean,

1543
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: James has got ten rushing touchdowns already. Yeah, and I'm

1544
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 1: sure he's telling everybody, probably not even talk. Maybe it

1545
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 1: does with you guys didn't talk after that, But running

1546
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: in the low red zone, for those that don't know,

1547
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: is really hard, Like it's hard to gain three yards

1548
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: of carry in the low red zone, and you guys

1549
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: have done it pretty effectively through the course of the season.

1550
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:18,839
Speaker 1: Now I realize Josh is kind of an X factor

1551
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: there that defenses have to account for, but he hasn't

1552
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 1: done a ton of running down in that low red

1553
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: zone like he did last year. Why have you guys

1554
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,440
Speaker 1: been so effective down there? You think with James mostly.

1555
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 3: I feel like we communicate very well when you get

1556
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 3: in the red zone, Like all our mindsets are saying

1557
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 3: like once we cost to fit your line, we just

1558
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 3: thinking like score points, score points, and as we're closer,

1559
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 3: we just keep telling ourselves like we're not gonna beat ourselves.

1560
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 3: We're not gonna get negative plays, and I think that's

1561
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 3: another good part, Like we get in a red zone,

1562
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 3: we don't get too many negative plays, and I think

1563
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 3: that helps us stair butter sticks and if we know

1564
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 3: where we're going to the block, I feel like it's

1565
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 3: gonna be real tough any team to stop us. And

1566
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 3: I feel like this shows with our progression in the res.

1567
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: Right, we got the tim Bitch question, which comes from

1568
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 1: our fan player interview appearances on One Bill's Live are

1569
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: presented by Tim Hortons. Tim Horton's the official coffee of

1570
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and tim Bit's time Out Question is

1571
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: presented by Tim Hortons as well, where we solicit the

1572
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: fans to ask players a unique question. So this one

1573
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 1: comes from David who asks where did his cybo nickname

1574
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:22,719
Speaker 1: come from?

1575
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 3: It came from a show I used to watch was

1576
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 3: growing up called Teen Titans. Okay, I had that character

1577
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 3: called Cyborg. He was like half human have robot. He

1578
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 3: was like the bigger character, big muscle guy. Yeah exactly.

1579
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 3: And then I was a big kid already growing up

1580
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 3: and my mom just kind of started calling me Cyborg

1581
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 3: from the cyboard kind of just got turned a sideball

1582
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 3: got started with my cousin brothers and everyone then honestly

1583
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 3: was like everyone went side was gonna follow me. Like

1584
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 3: when my coach, my college coaches came and recruited me

1585
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 3: fro high school. They hear my high school coach called

1586
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 3: me Cyebo, and it stuck from there. And when the

1587
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,839
Speaker 3: NFL coach and like the scouts came to my college

1588
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 3: and like recruited me from that, they heard the coaches

1589
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 3: called me Cyboy, and that's how the scouts and stuff

1590
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 3: call call him. It's kind of just everywhere I go. Yeah,

1591
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 3: I'm just stuck with I mean, I like it. I

1592
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 3: don't playing about it all.

1593
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:07,639
Speaker 1: Cool.

1594
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. So yeah, it's definitely then he

1595
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 3: got a nice little origin to it. So some of

1596
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 3: you still call me cyboy back home, but mostly just alum.

1597
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: So, does your mom ever call you osiris?

1598
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 3: She do more now, but like when I was growing up,

1599
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 3: it was more. Yeah, but like now it's kind of

1600
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 3: just I guess I got older. She thinks I just

1601
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 3: grow out of it. You still call me more osirius,

1602
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:28,640
Speaker 3: but yeah, that's kind of what.

1603
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 1: That's what You might be the only person to call

01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: it that on regular Well, listen. We appre listen, Osiris.

Speaker 1: We appreciate you taking the time with us. Thanks for

1606
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 1: sharing some time and some insight on what's been going

1607
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: on on the field this season. We appreciate it. We

1608
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 1: have to pivot now to the post practice podium where

1609
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is addressing the media.

1610
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 5: Maybe assess ortive what the first eleven games in the

1611
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 5: season of Bet you Bought?

1612
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 6: I'm not not really I guess to be at the

1613
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 6: bye week though, at nine and two and obviously feeling

1614
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 6: confident about what we got going on here and the

1615
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 6: guys that we have in this locker room, it's a

1616
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 6: it's a great feeling. I'll take this bye week compared

1617
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 6: to last year's by week, I'll tell you that. But again,

1618
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 6: or we're not into the playoffs yet, job's not finished

1619
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 6: and we're just trying to find a way to go.

1620
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 8: One to know this week, given that you can't control,

1621
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,720
Speaker 8: with all things being equal, which you prefer not to

1622
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 8: be playing and snow.

1623
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: This week, that would be ideal.

1624
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:33,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, But again, if if there's anybody that's done it enough,

1625
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 6: it's me. I feel like I'm very comfortable with whatever,

1626
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 6: whether elements are thrown our way, and that's just kind

1627
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,879
Speaker 6: of the nature of the beast of playing here in Buffalo.

1628
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 6: You have to deal with elements like this. And you know,

1629
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 6: coach Bowl my coaching college used to say, if you

1630
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 6: want to win in the North Atlantic, you got to

1631
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 6: train in the North Atlantic. So being out on the

1632
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 6: cold today, a little windy, and just again just trying

1633
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 6: to feel like they're getting used to what it could be.

1634
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 6: And obviously it's not snowing today, but we don't point

1635
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 6: it probably will.

1636
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 1: This team has been so successful.

1637
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 3: Understands.

1638
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 6: I think coach McDermott does a great job of making

1639
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 6: sure that you know, when we get back, we're not

1640
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,519
Speaker 6: necessarily picking up where we left off. It's more about like,

1641
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:23,720
Speaker 6: let's let's get back to what we did preseason, what

1642
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:25,839
Speaker 6: we did in training camp, get back to the basics,

1643
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 6: focus on fundamentals and just again playing situational football and

1644
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 6: doing simple better. And I think that's something that he's

1645
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 6: been preaching to us, and again the guys in this

1646
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 6: locker room have taken that and stride over the last

1647
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 6: you know, seven or eight years, whatever however long he's

1648
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 6: been here. And again it comes down to the guys

1649
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:45,640
Speaker 6: on the field playing but good leadership will do that.

1650
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 17: How much that message starts before the buy like going

1651
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 17: into it, and how much it is you guys get

1652
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 17: back here.

1653
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, some of it starts before, just making sure that

1654
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 6: when we get back, you know, get away from it

1655
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 6: in the by do what you need to do to

1656
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 6: to rely and let the mind uh kind of be

1657
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 6: at ease. But when you come back, you know, the

1658
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 6: the vision and the goal that we have, you know,

1659
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 6: it's still out there for us to do. So a

1660
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 6: lot of work to be done. And that's Ah, that's

1661
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 6: the approach that our guys have taken.

1662
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: It's just beginning preparations for this defense. But what you've

1663
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:18,839
Speaker 1: looked at on tape and getting ready for what challenges

1664
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 1: do they Presa?

1665
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 6: Well, Fred Warner is maybe the best linebacker in football.

1666
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 6: He flies around. I think they're they're d line obviously

1667
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 6: with Bosa and Floyd obviously Floyd was here last year,

1668
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,959
Speaker 6: two guys that can absolutely go and get after the quarterback.

1669
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 6: I think their dbs played very well within their system,

1670
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 6: you know. And uh, they're they're getting healthier. I know

1671
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 6: they've been a little banged up over the last few weeks,

1672
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 6: but I feel like they're they're getting healthier, and you know,

1673
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 6: can't control who or who plays and when they get back,

1674
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 6: but it's a it's a really really good defense that

1675
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 6: they fly around. They forced a lot of turnovers, so, uh,

1676
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 6: we got to be in our R game.

1677
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: Let's speaking of getting healthy.

1678
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 3: So seems to be a receiving core.

1679
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if Keon is gonna play, and and

1680
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 5: and but I'm sure the week of helped Amari and

1681
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,839
Speaker 5: Keon for that matter, how much as.

1682
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 8: Well as the guys gonna never filled.

1683
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 5: In have played. How much do you look to see

1684
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 5: this group as it was the you know what what

1685
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 5: Amari and and you know in his first game back,

1686
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:22,840

Speaker 1: Of showed to you?

1688
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think it's a very versatile group.

1689
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 6: Guys that uh, you know we've talked about a long

1690
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 6: time don't really care about where the football goes. They're

1691
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 6: just focused on doing their job. And that's from from

1692
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 6: one to five or one to six, and even through

1693
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 6: the peace Squad guys that we have, uh in that room,

1694
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 6: they're just so focused on doing their job and executing

1695
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 6: at a high level, whether it's in the run game

1696
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 6: or the past game. And when you got a bunch

1697
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 6: of guys that do the right things. They're typically gonna

1698
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 6: be in the right spots and make the place for you.

1699
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 6: So it's just a group that works hard. Yeah, and

1700
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 6: I love being able to play with these guys.

1701
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,760
Speaker 8: You got her head examined during the chief scale of

1702
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 8: the line.

1703
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 5: Everything was everything so quick.

1704
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, we're good. Thank you appreciate it.

1705
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.

1706
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 9: I know's we're all all but Mavlano out there without

1707
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 9: the red jersey flying around an individual. How's he look

1708
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 9: and what kind of excitement and energy does that give you?

1709
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:21,640
Speaker 1: Guys, getting a guy like you and.

1710
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 6: That, Yeah, I mean he looks it looks good out there. Again,

1711
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 6: I'm not sure if he's if he's going or not

1712
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 6: this week or next week or whatever the case is.

1713
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 6: But just extremely happy for him of you know, getting

1714
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 6: back out there and flying around and making some plays.

1715
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 6: And he's battled quite a few things over the last

1716
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 6: year and a half, so the boys are very happy

1717
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 6: for him. I'll tell you that.

1718
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 14: You imagine yourself, I've playing a football game for thirteen months,

1719
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 14: like he's got to go through.

1720
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 1: It's tough.

1721
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 6: I'd like to not think that. Uh, and it's hard

1722
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 6: to put yourself in somebody's shoes again. The guy that

1723
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 6: absolutely loves football, he's been chomping at the bit to

1724
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 6: get back. You know, whether it's like I said this week,

1725
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 6: next week, when he steps foot on the field, though,

1726
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 6: he's gonna be ready to go.

1727
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:07,679
Speaker 1: All right. That's Josh Allen addressing the media after practice

1728
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 1: here today, back on the practice field for the first

1729
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: time since getting the bye week off. We should mention

1730
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 1: that coach McDermott was asked a direct question, will Matt

1731
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 1: Mulano play this week? His answer was we'll see. He

1732
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 1: was then asked if he does play, will he be

1733
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: on a pitch count and coach McDermott gave indication that

1734
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: he would be just because of the length of time

1735
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,400
Speaker 1: that he has not been on a game field. Steve

1736
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 1: and I take a break here. We've got one final

1737
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 1: question from the football relationship Hotline. When we return here

1738
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,719
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Hellfitz, Buffalo Bill's

1739
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:56,640
Speaker 1: Radio got one final question on the PEPSI football Relationship Hotline.

1740
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: This one comes from Michael, who says, my wife is

1741
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,600
Speaker 1: an Eagles, I'm a lifelong Bills fan. We have a

1742
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: four year old and newborn boys and three and one

1743
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: year old girls. I want them to be Bills fans.

1744
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: I keep playing the shout song for them. My wife

1745
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 1: buys them Eagles gear. Any tips on coaxing them into

1746
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: being Bills fans for the long run, here's my suggestion.

1747
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,799
Speaker 1: I would get a life size cardboard cutout of Jalen

1748
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: Hurts and a life size cardboard cutout of Josh Allen,

1749
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: and I would put them side by side, and I

1750
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:34,639
Speaker 1: would pose this question to your young children, which guy

1751
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: do you want a quarterback? This guy over here or

1752
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: this big guy over here? And see what they say.

1753
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: I think you gotta. I think you gotta do it

1754
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: at their level to win them over. Yes.

1755
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 2: My suggestion would be this, Bring him to Bills games

1756
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 2: every chance you get. Let them hob nomg because you

1757
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 2: know how they'll get treated here in Buffalo.

1758
01:27:58,040 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 1: That's they'll be love.

1759
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 2: And take them to a Philly game too. See which

1760
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,839
Speaker 2: one I bet on the I bet on the Mafia

1761
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 2: before I bet on the Philly. Philly fans are great

1762
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 2: and they're passionate, but they're not the Mafia. It's more

1763
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 2: fun to be at a Bills game than a than

1764
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 2: going to a tailgate or whatever it is at Philly,

1765
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,719
Speaker 2: I would just put I put this atmosphere up against

1766
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 2: any and let them choose, and they'll they'll have If

1767
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 2: they have more fun, that's the team they'll love.

1768
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 1: Eagles fans, even when they have a good team, are

1769
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:33,640
Speaker 1: easily disappointed.

1770
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 2: And I'll say this too, don't ever bad mouth the Eagles. Uh,

1771
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 2: there's no.

1772
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 1: Reason to bad mouth one team to people like one team.

1773
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 2: To get the other because if you if you spew

1774
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 2: that out, then they're gonna if they don't aren't a

1775
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,639
Speaker 2: fan of your team, they'll start hating your team.

1776
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: You don't need don't bad mouth the other team. Uh,

1777
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,759
Speaker 1: cheer for your team and.

1778
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:57,679
Speaker 2: That'll that'll be a message, that'll be a deep, profound

1779
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 2: message to them that fans of your team aren't hate

1780
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 2: filled there. They just cheer for their team and they're

1781
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 2: happy doing it. That's that's a message you need to

1782
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 2: get across to your kids.

1783
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: And Jalen Hurts doesn't jump over people like Josh does.

1784
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: That's entertainment value for three and one year old. I'm

1785
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: telling you, show some of those clips every chance you

1786
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: get and you'll win them over in a second. Tell

1787
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: them when they get old enough they can jump through

1788
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 1: a table. Well, yeah, there are ways off from that,

1789
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:24,680
Speaker 1: but we get the we get this, put it out

1790
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 1: there though they got to be a Bills fan to

1791
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 1: do it. Uh. That is all for us today. Everybody,

1792
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 1: have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow. Try to avoid a food coma.

1793
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 1: We have no show tomorrow. Steve and I back here
