Speaker 1: phone book. Most people don't even know what a phonebook is.

13
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: You could read and encycling. What is it? A dictionary?

15
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: Night Football theme Yeah, yes, I think they're playing it now,

24
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: did that on the top of my head. Steve has

25
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: been running this on a loop on his laptop for

26
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: the better part of the last day and a half.

27
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if that'll that'll ever get sick of

29
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,600

34
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't in the right headspace for it. I will

35
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: be on Monday, that's for sure. Um, But who knows.

36
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I may have heard that a thousand times in the

37
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours because of my broadcast partner here

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: to might have to we might have to do that

39
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: on Monday. That's what we'll do. We're gonna open up

40

00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: is the best? Oh wow? Okay, so now we've turned

44
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: this into a contest. Okay, all right, I'll see what

45
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: I can do. I'll see what I can come up with.

46
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: It is so I just get like all giddy when well,

47
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: we know, I told Shannon, who is now being as

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: part of the show like for the week because of

49
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: her that's right, of her involvement with the Monday Night

50
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: Football query, right which she is incidentally regretting. She's bumming

51
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: out right now because it is and I can't remember

52
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: what I was gonna say. Oh yeah, I'm so excited.

53
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: It's so excited because I showed her the thing on Twitter.

54
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: There's a thing on social media where a lady you

55
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: try this at home. Our female football fans out there,

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: there's a thing that happens to men. If the Monday

57
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Night football theme starts to be played in the house

58
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: somewhere where they're not it is like a moth to flame.

59
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: You have to come in and watch it. You got

60
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: or find out what's going on? Why is that up?

61
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: They will come into the room wherever they are, a

62
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: man of a certain vintage of particular will always come

63
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: in see what is going on with this music? It's

64
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: like dogs. When you say the words squirrel, it's like

65
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: it's like a rattling the dog food box. They come.

66
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, it is avlams dogs for American men, the

67
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. It's true. Whatever, what are a sorry lot?

68
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: If they hear the Monday night football music wherever? They

69
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: are like a you can't resist, you can't resist? They

70
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: are a sorry lot. I'm just gonna say, it's like

71
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: Greek mythology and the sirens off the off the home.

72
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: He had to Yeah, they tied him to the mass

73
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: so he couldn't. How how do women not run the world?

74
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we're so we are such a bunch of lunkheads.

75
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: You play the Monday night football theme, we come running

76
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: into the room. What's going on? Why is that up?

77
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: What's It's true? We are ways we are a bunch

78
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: of simpletons. I mean, honest to Pete, what is wrong

79
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: with us? Um? Yeah? So that's now three days away?

80
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: Are we ever gonna get there? Jeez? I yike, it's

81
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: just did you this is too long? I know? Well,

82
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: I did then. That has been a little bit of

83
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: a topic of conversation, Steve. I know down in Tennessee,

84
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: what they're saying down there is they're hoping that Buffalo's

85
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: what is this ten plus day layoff, eleven day layoff

86
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: is going to contribute to some rustiness um on the

87
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Bills part. That is, that's what they're pinning their hopes on.

88
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that will be the case, but that's

89
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: what Titans fans are saying. Daughter rusty out of the game.

90
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: Hope they gotta hope that we're rusty and that at Oliver,

91
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: Tim Suttle, Dane Jackson can't play right with four extra

92
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: days arrest. You know, that's that's a double edged sword.

93
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: The more time you get, the healthier they get, you know,

94
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: and you got more rust sets in. I don't know, no,

95
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm it's it's gonna be a really, really good game.

96
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: There's there's gonna be too much build up for a

97
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: team not to be ready to play right. I mean,

98
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: I'd be I'd be shocked if that was the case.

99
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Bills, there is a Bills practice update

100
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: to pass along to you, presented by Lee Coom Lake

101
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. And unfortunately, even though it

102
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: was just a walkthrough today, the Bills once again did

103
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: not have defensive tackles, Tim Settle or At Oliver participating

104
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: in practice ankle injury for Oliver, calf injury for Settle,

105
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: and Dane Jackson missed a second straight day of practice

106
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. So we're getting closer now, and

107
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: it's going to raise the possibility that Buffalo may need

108
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: to We haven't talked about this yet, Steve, Buffalo may

109
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: need to if Jackson can't recover in time, start a

110
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: pair of corners that are rookies on Monday night. That

111
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: is a possibility. Now, let's go Now, all things being equal,

112
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: if you had to have a game where you had

113
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: to start two rookie corners, this isn't the worst game

114
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: you could have picked, right, you know, it's not the Rams,

115
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: it's not the Chiefs. Right, it's the Titans. Yeah, but

116
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: they probably only throw it twenty five times a game. Yeah,

117
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: they've got a Yeah, the rookie corners at least they'll

118
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: be fresh enough to come up and make tackles. And

119
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: they are, and they're both both the rookies are big dudes,

120
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, they're both two Bills, so they'll be

121
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: able to hang in there with the physicality of it. Um.

122
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: But it's a it's early in the season. We're kind

123
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: of talking about this, but this, this rest, there's no

124
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: question this Thursday to Monday night is a boost for

125
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: the Bills in this situation. I don't think there's any question.

126
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean, even Josh took some shots in that game

127
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: in LA. I mean, just nextra couple of days is huge.

128
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna hit the ground. Imagine, I mean all of

129
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: us can, and we've been talking about it. Imagine the

130
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: injection of adrenaline these guys are gonna get when they

131
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: walk down that time. I've felt it. It's palpable. You

132
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: can't not feel it. And let's not forget this too, Steve.

133
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a little bit of a revenge

134
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: tour too. With how last year's game ended. This is

135
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the fifth straight year you're playing this team. You've lost

136
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the last two. You got a game moved around during COVID,

137
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: you got yanked around as to when you were going

138
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: to play, who you were going to play, and then

139
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: you got to go play the Titans, who were the

140
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: reason for the COVID outbreak in the first place, because

141
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: their team was ravaged by it for not following proper protocols,

142
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: and you got to play them on a different day

143
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: when you weren't expected to. You got twenty four hours

144
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: to get down there, turnaround, play a game the next day,

145
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: and you get throttled. Then last year, you're down on

146
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: the goal line, chance to win the football game, Josh slips,

147
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: they lose it on fourth and goal and lose thirty

148
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: four thirty one. You don't think there's little added incentive

149
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: for this Bill's team playing this Titans team again. Yeah,

150
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be supremely motivated throttle this

151
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: team and to have them finally in this building. It

152
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: seems like every game has been down there. But we'll

153
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: see they're really good. They got that physical running game,

154
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: and the Bills are hobbled down inside two defensive tackles

155
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: are in one hundred percent. That is a problem because

156
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: that puts them right back to the problems they were

157
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: having a year ago stopping the run. They just can't

158
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: hold the line of scrimmage if they don't have enough

159
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: fresh guys in there. So well, at least you have

160
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: your two biggest defensive tackles available in day, Kwon Jones

161
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: and Jordan Phillips. And then the assumption, at least on

162
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: my part, is Brandon Bryant is the call up from

163
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: the practice squad if one or both can't go. Settle

164
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: and Oliver I'm talking about and Bryant is a fourth

165
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: year player. Leslie Fraser was speaking glowingly about him during

166
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: training camp. He said that Brandon Bryant has become a

167
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: thinking man's player. He's no longer relying on just his

168
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: athletic ability. He's recognizing down in distance, recognizing how offensive

169
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: lineman are playing him and the defensive tackle beside him,

170
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: and adjusting accordingly on the fly. He feels like he's

171
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: become a thinking man's player, which is a step that

172
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: players take when they're still young in their career, and

173
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: he has taken that step so much so Steve that

174
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: if you remember in the preseason, not only did they

175
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: line up Brandon Bryant at defensive tackle, they kicked them

176
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: out to end sometimes in that Denver preseason game, which

177
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: said a lot to me. I mean you gotta have

178
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's preseason, and you know it

179
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: doesn't count whatever, but you gotta have some confidence to

180
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: put him out there, to know to trust that he's

181
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: going to do the right thing at the end position

182
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: as well. So I think Brandon Briant is a definite

183
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: call up this weekend from the practice squad. If one

184
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: of those guys isn't available, if both are not available,

185
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: do you call up another DT? Do you activate Check Lawson?

186
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: That is kind of a little bit more up in

187
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: the air as to what the Bills might do. Right

188
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: And the guys they have is Mike Love, Brandon Bryant,

189
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: Prince Emilie, and C. J. Brewer the pract squad guys.

190
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: So those are the guys that are their Brewer and

191
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: Brewers the other and they've you know, they've been here.

192
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like they're gonna go in there

193
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: and they're like off the street. These guys are practicing.

194
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: They've been in here all through training camp. They've been

195
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: they'll be ready to go if called upon. And I

196
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: said this yesterday, this is exactly the kind of reward

197
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, And this culture gives these guys that you know, Bryant,

198
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: immediately it might they might just say listen, C j. Brewer,

199
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: You've been working the hardest through the last couple of weeks,

200
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: trying to get ready to play and trying to get

201
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: on the field you're in and he might, you know,

202
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: they and the players might feel like wow that because

203
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing this culture does here inside

204
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: this building. So all of a sudden, whoever it is

205
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: that they're gonna activate, is gonna be motivated off the

206
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: charts to come in and play well. And you got

207
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: away that knowing that as a coaching staff and to

208
00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: whatever compromise physical condition ed Oliver or Tim Settle is in,

209
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: does a highly motivated one of these guys off the

210
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: practice squad equal it or better it because of their

211
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: chance and the opportunity it means for them. It's not

212
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: that simple equation to figure out. Yeah, So yeah, we'll

213
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: have to see how that all shakes out when the

214
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: final injury report comes out tomorrow, because it's a Monday

215
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: night game. The final injury report with full status will

216
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: be listed tomorrow, probably around this time, and I'll be

217
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: sure to tweet it out when we get a hold

218
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: of it. So just you can follow me on Twitter

219
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: or go to the Buffalo Bill's Twitter page. And you'll

220
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: be able to get the game status of Tim Settle,

221
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson, and Ed Oliver for Monday Night's game. Other

222
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: NFL news and notes. He had the Thursday night game

223
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: last night, pretty exciting game. Chargers came out flying and

224
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: then fizzled in the second half, and Justin Herbert suffered

225
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: a rib injury when he was hit and landed on

226
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: the helmet of Chiefs defensive lineman Michael Dana who was

227
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: tackling him. He was down on the field for several

228
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: minutes with the athletic training staff tending to him. He

229
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: did come back into the game, but he didn't quite

230
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: look right. Made some great throws despite the injury. I mean,

231
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: you're not gonna question Justin Herbert's toughness, that's for sure.

232
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: I'll say too. He had a throwaway ball too, on

233
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: the play just before the touchdown that they got the

234
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: game backed within three. He came off the field for

235
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: one play. Chase Daniel comes in, hands the ball off

236
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: Herbert's right back on the game on the field, they

237
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: continued down the field and on the play before he

238
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: throws the touchdown to end the drive, he's rolling out

239
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: and he got a twinge in his ribs and just

240
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: spiked the ball into the ground out towards it on

241
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: the flatters. He had a guy out there. He just

242
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: could not he couldn't continue in the play right, and

243
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: so he lines up again and then throws a dart

244
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: to get him to get the touchdown back to twenty three.

245
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: It was amazing. I mean, that was a really gutsy

246
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: performance by Justin Herbert that you know, gave the you know,

247
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: in that instance, it gave him a slight chance to

248
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: come back they had to give to get an onside

249
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: kick at the end of the game. It wasn't gonna

250
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: happen because the Chiefs go down score a field goal

251
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: put him up by ten. So it was a hole

252
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: they couldn't dig out of. But man, he got whacked

253
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: and whacked hard and it was a clean hit too.

254
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: Some people were saying, well, he must have landed on him.

255
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: He didn't land on him. He tried to get kind

256
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: of landed on the helmet of the player he kind

257
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: of went he hit him, got him going down, then

258
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: came off to the side. Well, that's what they teach

259
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman, Now roll off him down because if

260
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: your bodyway comes down on him. You're gonna get called

261
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: for rough in the passer. But Herbert kind of rolled

262
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: onto his helmet and as they hit the ground, the

263
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: guy's helmet was between the ground and Herbert's ribs, and

264
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: you could tell yeah, I've had you've we've you had it.

265
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: I've had it. Oh no, oh no, thank you. Wow.

266
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: That hurts man. And the only way he could get

267
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: through that game, in my opinion, is strictly adrenaline said

268
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Yeah. I mean, initial X rays were negative.

269
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: He's going to be reevaluated in LA today. Coach Staley

270
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: after the game did say a lingering issue with the

271
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: ribs is unlikely. So my guess is it's either bruised

272
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: ribs where he's got some separated rib cartilage in there,

273
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: which can also be very painful. I remember when Rob

274
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Johnson had the point of the football stick him in

275
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: the ribs when he got sacked. He missed five games

276
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: with separated rib cartilage. Because if you think about it,

277
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: first of all, it's not easy to play football with

278
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: any kind of a rib injury just from the sheer

279
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: contact you're going to be exposed to in the sport.

280
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: But for a quarterback, every time you take a handoff

281
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: and you turn and twist to hand it off to

282
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: a running back, or you drop back and you drive

283
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: your hip into a throw. I mean that's a lot.

284
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna feel that every single time you take a

285
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: deep breath, you feel it. Forgot about turning and stepping

286
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: into a throw. You gotta throw it to the far

287
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: hash and you want to put something on it. You're

288
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna feel that. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see

289
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: what happens and the reason the past protection got so compromised, Steve.

290
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: They lose their center, Corey Linsley, then their right tackle

291
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: Trey Pipkins goes out of the game. After that, Ellie

292
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: couldn't protect him. Yeah. The guys coming in after they

293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: were awful. Yeah, I mean it was jailbreak city. After that.

294
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: Herbert was running for his life. Yeah, he had to

295
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball so fast or make a

296
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: guy miss so quickly. They really struggled. And that was

297
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: a game where early on, and we had this conversation

298
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this game a little bit before

299
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: the show. Both these quarterbacks through like three interceptions that

300
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: got dropped that were like stone cold turnovers. And then

301
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: of course Herbert threw the one. At the end of

302
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: the game. There was an hundred year a return TDS

303
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: pick six. That was the difference in the game. That

304
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: was the game that put the game out of it.

305
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: It's a fourteen point swing from that point on and

306
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win in Kansas City having a fourteen

307
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: point swing in the fourth quarter that gives the other

308
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: team the lead. Fortunately for the Chargers, they don't play

309
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: for ten days. They've got Jacksonville next on the schedule. Basically,

310
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Watson won that game for the

311
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs last night. They did not look like the juggernaut

312
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: team we're used to seeing, at least in my estimation.

313
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: I think they're still figuring things out with their passing game.

314
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: You know who they rely upon for what I mean,

315
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: him and Kelsey. Obviously the chemistry is you know that

316
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: goes without saying. But I think he's still figuring out

317
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: some of his other targets. It's almost a shame that

318
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: the Bills don't play them until what week five or six,

319
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: I think, because by then, I think the Chiefs will

320
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: kind of have it locked down. In turn of defining

321
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: the roles for people within the scope of the passing

322
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: game and the offense. Um, they're still feeling that out.

323
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: You can tell. Yeah, it's yeah week six when the

324
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: Bills got him, and it's right before the Bills by

325
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: a week. Um, they look the Chiefs do look different

326
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: to me. They do look different to me. Um, still

327
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: a very good team. Well, I'll say this, and we

328
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: talked about it. Mahomes is ridiculous. He is ridiculous. I mean,

329
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: we all love Josh. He's great, but they are they're

330
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: too great quarter and so's Herbert. Those guys, all three

331
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: of them, and just Joe Burrow as well. All these

332
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: guys are at that level. But they're all they're all different.

333
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: They're all thoroughbreds of a different color, you know what

334
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, they're like guys that can really play,

335
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: and they all have their own style. You watch these

336
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: guys play, and even if they were, you know, in

337
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: a different jersey, you could tell who they were by

338
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: their body language, the way they throw it. This side

339
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: arm throw from the about the twelve yard line into

340
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: the two where the guy just steps in in between

341
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: two defenders. Mahomes is the guy. He That's the thing

342
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: about Mahomes he can throw the ball underhanded, overhanded, side armed,

343
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: over armed, you know, submarine shot, all that stuff. Guys

344
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: right there, throws it on the money so well, it's amazing.

345
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: And that's that's why he is. He's so good and

346
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: he's an athlete. He extends the play. He's got great instincts.

347
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: And of course Josh is is you know, the creature.

348
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: So they've all got this style. Herbert is the only

349
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: guy that of them that has an arm like Josh,

350
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: but he is not Josh Um. I like Josh better

351
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: than Herbert for sure. Mahomes and Josh I think here

352
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: like I like this style better. I like that's it

353
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: because they're both unbelievable. It's ridiculous. But I was watching

354
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: him last night going are you kidding me? The only

355
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: other guy that may have impressed me even more than

356
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: him was Mike Williams with the Chargers. You want to

357
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: talk about a show as a receiver, Mike Williams put

358
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: on a show last night. He was unreal. Every big

359
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 1: play he made came in a contested situation. He had

360
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: eight catches for one thirteen in a TD. I mean,

361
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: and the TD was spectacular. He I mean, they didn't

362
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: have Keenan Allen last night because of the hamstring injury.

363
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: He's considered their number one receiver. Mike Williams proved yesterday.

364
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: Do you need him to be a number one guy?

365
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: He can be that and that's why they paid him

366
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year. He's a big dude, two

367
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: six four Yeah. He I mean, I knew he was

368
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: a good player, and he kind of came into his

369
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: own last year for them. He's like their version of

370
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. He really is. Like he's He's just gotten

371
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: better and better every single year. He came in with

372
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot more pomp and circumstance being a high draft choice,

373
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: but man, he he has. He has arrived on the

374
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: scene in a big way, and the degree of difficulty

375
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: is what impressed me most about some of the receptions

376
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: that he made. The touchdown catch, which was a blind

377
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: one handed grab along the right side of the end zone.

378
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: That was an unbelievable catch. It wasn't like one of

379
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: those high flying one handed catches. The guy's got the

380
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: defenders on him. He reaches down underneath the defender and

381
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: catches that ball one handed with his right hand, going

382
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: down the right sideline and pulls it in and falls

383
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: in bounds for the for the touchdown. It was this, Yeah,

384
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: another great catch traffic. I mean just down on the

385
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: one yard line. It draws pass interference, catches it anyway.

386
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Rashad Fenton had no answer for him. First

387
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: of all, he's given up a half foot in size

388
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: and I don't even run as well as he does.

389
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: This is the line. Oh my gosh, what a catch.

390
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: The only way I knew he caught that was because

391
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: I didn't see the ball bouncing anywhere. You know, they were,

392
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: they were all balled up. He reaches down, crash. It

393
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: looks like there's no way he got to it. The

394
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: ball looks like it dropped a yard short of him

395
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: and he and he pulls that in. He just does

396
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: the ropa doope on the route. Ten targets eight receptions

397
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: for one third team. I mean that's ten targets, eight

398
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: receptions when he threw it to him, the guys pulling

399
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: it in, and there's legitimately probably four catches of those

400
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: eight that he has no business pulling in, no business. Yeah,

401
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: really impressive he performance by him last night. He really

402
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: he was open when he wasn't open. Yeah, that says

403
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: a lot about a receiver, so really really good. I mean,

404
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: it looks like a really nice offense that they're gonna have.

405
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: They gotta stay healthy though Herbert's nicked up. Allan's got

406
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: to come back from the hamstring, which they expect him

407
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: to with the long layoff here another ten days before

408
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: they play again. But man, that team's got to stay healthier.

409
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: They're just not going to stay in contention. Two lineman injured,

410
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: so it's already begun for the Chargers with their annual

411
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: injury list. You gotta hope it doesn't get any longer

412
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be hard for them to win games,

413
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: especially in that division. Did you see this with the

414
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, Steve said offensive coordinator Kellen

415
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: Moore has to be smarter with play calling. Now far

416
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: being for me to throw stones here, but seriously, Mike McCarthy,

417
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: who used to be a play caller himself and had

418
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: his share of dumb decisions, is going to call out

419
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: his own offensive coordinator after one game, like what are

420
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: we doing? Like, even if you have that much displeasure

421
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: with your offensive coordinator, are you going to announce it publicly.

422
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: Come on, man, and to me, it's bad leadership. What

423
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: are you doing? They might have badgered him in and

424
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: that might have been just one small part of a

425
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: larger answer. I don't know, and maybe it was one

426
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: of a list of things that had to be better,

427
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: including himself, But it sounds like a face value. That's

428
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: bad leadership. You can't throw any of your staff, or

429
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: you can't throw part of your family under the bus.

430
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: It's particularly somebody at a high level, like an offensive

431
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, right, not to mention the fact that you're

432
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: starting a backup quarterback for the next month and your

433
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: offense probably isn't gonna look all that great anyway. So

434
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: now you've just all you've done here is fan the

435
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: flame with the media, because if it doesn't work this week,

436
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: what's the first thing they're gonna ask you? Was telling

437
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: more smarter this week? Right? I don't want to I

438
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: don't want to overreact to this in any way, shape

439
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: or form, but to say it was a poor use

440
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: of words in the very least to me. Um certainly

441
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: he could say he's gonna have to make different considerations

442
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: with with Cooper Russian there than he wouldn't. Dak. He's

443
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to be. He's gonna have to mind the

444
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: differences in the two when he calls his plays. When

445
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: you just come out and say, hey, he's got to

446
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: be smarter with his play calling, which means what he's

447
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: he can be an idiot with Dak Prescott is his quarterback.

448
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: It's just it's on so many levels. It's bad. It's bad.

449
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: It's it's bad rhetoric, and it's it's why the guy

450
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: doesn't come off as an elite leader, an elite head

451
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: coach or leader. He comes off as a little bit

452
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: lacking in certain areas, which is why he's also the

453
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: favorite in Vegas to be the first coach fired in

454
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: the National Football League. But we'll leave that there. Thing though,

455
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: now they can't fire him. Now, hey, I lost my

456
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Of course, we're not gonna win games, so

457
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: now they can Dallas can stink for another year. I

458
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: don't know if that's ever stopped Jerry before, but we

459
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: shall see. Let's go to the phones here from you

460
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: a little bit here on this Friday, we go to

461
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: Judy and Buffalo leading us off. What you got first?

462
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: Judy him, I expect the game plan for Monday night

463
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: to mimic that which they use against the Patriots in

464
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: the playoff game. I see them using the tight end

465
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: the slot receivers to open up the running game and

466
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: then utilize the wide receivers for the ultimate victory. I

467
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: see them scoring thirty five points, and how do you

468
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: feel about that? That's good. I agree with you. That's

469
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: the strength of their offense, Judy, and I think their

470
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: plan is going to be to do what they do bad.

471
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: I'd love to see him not turn it over, so

472
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: if that, if that could happen, that'd be awesome as well.

473
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: But they're going to keep on keeping on. They're at

474
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: a point now, I think offensively over the last even

475
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: with Ken Dorsey in this first game, I think they're

476
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: to point offensively where they can dictate and do kind

477
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: of whatever they want, particularly with the offensive line that

478
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: they put together this year. I think that's where they're

479
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: at now. They can look and I don't know enough

480
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: about ten the Tennessee defense to say you know what

481
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: I think. I do know this. They got punched in

482
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: the mouth by a running game last week by the Giants,

483
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: and you can bet that they're worried about that and

484
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: the Bills, while they haven't been able to do that

485
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, this year might be

486
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: a little different. So the game plan might be to

487
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: go in there and say, you know, we're gonna hit

488
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: him in the mouth with a run game just because

489
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: to see if they can fix it and if they don't.

490
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: If they have, well we'll just do what we do.

491
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: Or it could be something else, like you say, we're

492
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: just gonna come out and arrow it out and see

493
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: if they can keep up with us on the scoreboard.

494
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: I was very interested to listen to Mike Vrabel's press

495
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: conference with the Tennessee media, and one particular person that

496
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: he referenced was Reggie Gilliam. He was very interested and

497
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: was paying attention to how Reggie Gilliam was used in

498
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: last week's game. When they ran twenty one personnel. They

499
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 1: used him as a true fullback, they used him as

500
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: a move guy like an h back, and it's clear

501
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: that Vrabel and his defensive staff were paying very close

502
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: attention to that. So I almost wonder if the Bills

503
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 1: can use that to their advantage and show some of

504
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: that early, keep them mindful of that, and then use

505
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: something else in their arsenal offensively to catch him a

506
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: little bit off guard. The tight end point that Judy

507
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: brought up is also interesting because, as we know, Dawson

508
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: Knox only two targets last week, one reception and was

509
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: pretty early in the game, and then he was nowhere

510
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: to be seen in the rest of the scope of

511
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: the passing game. You know that the Bills can turn

512
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: to him anytime they want. I don't think he's a

513
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: forgotten man. I was listening to an interview that the

514
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: Titans had on their website with Kevin Byard, their starting safety,

515
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, no, we haven't forgotten about Dawson Knox.

516
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: We know we can do damage and nine touchdowns last year,

517
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: So to think that Dawson Knox is a forgotten man

518
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 1: in the minds of the Titans would be incorrect. They

519
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: know what he is capable of, so it'd be nice

520
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: to utilize him more this week as a mismatch if

521
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: they feel that does exist. But that's up to Ken

522
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: Dorson and the offense offensive staff, so we'll just have

523
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: to wait and see what comes of it. We are

524
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: going to take a break here because when we come back,

525
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: we are going to be joined by the Bills VP

526
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 1: of Operations and Guest Experience one, Andy Major, will be

527
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: joining us here to lay out everything you need to

528
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: know if you are coming to the game Monday night,

529
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: when the gates open, when the parking lot's open, what

530
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: to be mindful of in terms of what's going to

531
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: be going on around the stadium. Will have that all

532
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: for you next here on One Bill's Live, presented by

533

535
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400

Speaker 1: to tell you everything you need to know if you

538
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: are coming to the game on Monday night. And speaking

539
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: of the game, this week's game sponsor high Mark Blue Cross,

540
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: Blue Shield of Western New York, the official health plan

541
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. How you doing, guy? A little busy?

542
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm excited about Monday Night. I can tell you that

543
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: much you've had. It's been busy. The stadium has been

544
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: busy with concerts, with events of Blue and Red, the

545
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 1: preseason game, and you've had a chance to run up

546
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: to this game, which is it's a big one. Yeah,

547
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't get any bigger than this, right,

548
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: your home opener on Monday night, coming off that Thursday

549
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: night amazing game. Oh my gosh. But yeah, we've had

550
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: five large scale events already. It's hard to believe. Our

551
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: game day staff are probably just as excited as our

552
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: fans to have a regular season home opener. You know,

553
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: they went through three concerts, a preseason game, and then

554
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: the return of the Blue and Red big practice. We

555
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: had all time record attendance for a practice. So talk about,

556
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, excitement level, it's off the charts. Why don't

557
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: we start first with some of the time elements of

558
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: the day because I think, you know, it's important to

559
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: remind fans this game is a seven fifteen kick. It's

560
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: not the traditional a twenty kick for Monday night games.

561
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: It's a little earlier because there's two Monday night games

562
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: that are staggers started. So that means parking lots are

563
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: open three fifteen, right, Yeah, that's correct, three fifteen parking lots.

564
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: The closed part of Abbott Road will happen at two fifteen, yeah,

565
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: and then the stadium gates opened two hours before kickoff.

566
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: At five fifteen to really helped get fans in before pregame.

567
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone's in their seat for the kickoff, right, You

568
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: never know with our team, you know, that first play

569
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: of the game could be you know, the one you

570
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: don't want to miss, and we have that. We still

571
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: have the train horn and fireworks to signal an hour before,

572
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: so if you're not paying attention here the fireworks and

573
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: the train horn, that means it's an hour you may

574
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: want to get going. Yep, absolutely, yeah, we were doing

575
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: our best to get fans, you know, into a little

576
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: bit of a routine knowing what time to come into

577
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: the game. Last year we did the two hours prior,

578
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: but there was also the vaccination verification we had to

579
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: do last year, right that was mandated. We don't have

580
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: that this year, so it's going to be quote unquote

581
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: a normal gate entry process. For the security screening, we

582
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: ask fans to please have your mobile tickets ready. You know,

583
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: we'll do a great job. We've got plenty of staff

584
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: working Monday night, so definitely a challenge when you have

585
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: a seven fifteen kickoff on a workday. But we know

586
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: Bill's mafia and what they're all about, and we are

587
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: as super, super excited to welcome our fans back to

588
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: high Mark Stadium and have all of our staff who've

589
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: been dying for this moment right for Monday Night football

590
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: as well. And you know people forget sometimes that our

591
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: game day staff there Bill's Mafia as well. We all

592

Speaker 1: have friends and family members and our neighbors going to

593
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: these games, so we we take a lot of pride

594
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: and our jobs are personal. We want that fan experience

595
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: to be great for Bill's Mafia because there are family

596

00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: hours before yep, four hours, which is about right. Yep,

599
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: that's normal for us. And then m You've got all

Speaker 1: we have the Bill of Art. Our events team does

604
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: a great job with the fan activations out in front

605
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: of the team store on Abbott Road, food Trucks, DJ Entertainment,

606
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: the Seneca Stage where legends out there, alumni, there's a

607
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: smash a car activation, you can smash a Tennessee Titans

608
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: car and take out your frustrations on the Titans right away.

609
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: So a lot of fun things going on pregame. And

610
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: then also there's a Caesar Sports Book tailgate trailer we're

611
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna have in parking lot number three in the Limo lot,

612
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: and that'll be an exciting thing. There'll be a chicken

613
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: wing eating contest. The ESPN guys are tray wingows hosting

614
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: that and commentating for that chicken winging contest. And you know,

615
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: again some entertainment out there in the parking lot and

616
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: a lot three so fun things for sure. One of

617
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: the things too, the people may have forgotten that it's new,

618
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: is you open the gates more in front of the

619
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: game two hours before I said in ninety minutes or

620
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: an hour before the game time. It's two hours early.

621
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: The gates open up five fifteen. It gives people a

622
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: chance to beat the crowd if they want, ordge the

623
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: crowd if they want kind of thing, and it just

624
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: that's got to help them take takers and the gates

625
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: and all these standing in line. Yeah, Steve, absolutely, I

626
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: mean it certainly helps. Hey, we're we're not we understand

627
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: that our fans are the best tailgating fans in the NFL,

628
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: and they want to tailgate and they want to be

629
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: outside doing those things, especially when the weather's nice, and

630
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: we encourage that. We love our fans. They're responsible. They're

631
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: the best tailgators in the league. But there are a

632
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: lot of fans that believe or not, they do want

633
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: to come inside and avoid the lines, enjoy themselves, relax,

634
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: have a drink, maybe eat something before game time, and

635
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: be in their seats for kickoff and see the pregame.

636
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: You know, this game is something different, right, It's Monday

637
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: Night Football ESPN National Spotlight, and we have special things

638
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: going on during pregame. You know, there'll be a Choose

639
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: Love ceremony. There's going to be our legend, Jim Kelly

640
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: as a legend of the game, and forget about you know,

641
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: all of that for a minute. But it's the home opener.

642
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia. They've been we are all salivating for this

643
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: game and it's still Friday, right, So what can you

644
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: tell us Andy about Gate five? There's gonna be special

645
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: like speedier security screening. Do I have that right? You know? Actually? Yeah,

646
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: you know what, Brownie, that's a that's a good question.

647
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: So we do have a new technology we're trying out

648
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: at Gate five. We know it works. It's called Chaya

649
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Open Gate Okay. It is a faster screening method for

650
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: more fans to walk through and they don't have to

651
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: empty their pockets or do a bag check. It all

652
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: is handled through this, you know, new new technology. So

653
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: we'll have that at Gate five. It'll help the ingress

654
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: at Gate five. We chose Gate five because that's the

655
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: area closest to the Billivard and where there's a lot

656
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: of people that kind of congregate at that game, so

657
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: it should help us out. We did test it at

658
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: one of the concerts that work great. We also tested

659
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: another similar system at the Jets game last year as well,

660
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: So that's new technology we want to implement at the

661
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: stadium here at some point, but also for the new

662
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: stadium down the road. One of the things that happened

663
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: as well in the in the last few years since

664
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: it's been a thing is the Safe Ride Home program.

665
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: So you know, you can the bills, I guess ranked

666
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: tops in the NFL with people who have registered just

667
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: give me a ride home somehow, some way, right. So,

668
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: but there's also a shortage of drivers in Western New York.

669
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: So you've got to make sure you have two plans.

670
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: If you're going to do the safe ride thing, do it,

671
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: but make sure you have a backup because sometimes there's

672
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: just not enough drivers to go around, right. Yeah, you

673
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: know what, Steve, that's thanks for bringing that up. I mean,

674
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: we did experience some long waits at our concerts, which

675
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: were nighttime events here in Western New York. You know,

676
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: rideshare is great to get to the stadium, it maybe,

677
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, not so great to leave the stadium until

678
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: the number of drivers picks up. So we do encourage

679
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: fans to have a have a different option just in case,

680
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: or just be okay with waiting a few hours potentially

681
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: for a ride share. There is a new program we

682
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: are implementing called the NFTA Game Day Express, and fans

683
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: can check that out on our website. Can go to

684
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: the NFTA website as well. There's five bucks. It's it's

685
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: five bucks one way, it's very safe, it's efficient. We

686
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: have a special drop off right in front of the stadium.

687
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: Fans can pick it up right in front of the

688
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: stadium on Abbott Road, right in front of Bill's drive

689
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: to go home to Black Rockingversity Transit Hub and Athole

690
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: Springs University station at the Thruway Mall Metropolitan Transportation Center

691
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: at McKinley and Eastern Hills Mall. Drop up. Yeah, I mean,

692
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: you live on the North Towns, you go to Eastern

693
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: Hills Mall, five bucks, you get a ride. I mean,

694
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: you can't beat that, no, I mean, the folks at

695
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: NF TWA have been just great to work with, the

696
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: Sheriff's team, all pro parking. Everybody's kind of combined working

697
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: together on this and also with our partners at Erie County.

698
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: So it's been really a great program we're putting together.

699
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: It's also for our game day staff, you know, gives

700
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: them opportunities to get to our stadium for work. You know,

701
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: a lot of our game day staff, some of them

702
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: don't have vehicles or ways to get here, so really

703
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: kind of helps the fans, but also some of the

704
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: staff as well. And I know, as you guys have

705
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: done in the past, there's a giveaway item also for

706
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: a primetime game, right oh yeah, you know there's always

707
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 1: Bill's rally towel, you know, for the first sixty thousand fans.

708
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: So only a few may miss out on this, So

709
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: you know, another reason to show coming a little bit early.

710
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: Get your rally towel so that place is going to

711
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: be electric right when we see all those towels waving

712
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: the team running out of that tunnel. Now, in the

713
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: event that you know, you've got fans in the lots

714
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: and maybe they want to get an update on something

715
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: on their mobile device, their phone, where are they going

716
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: to get any and all information they might need. Yeah,

717
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: the Bills Mobile app is just a really great, great

718
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: resource for everybody. You know, from lines, wait times, best

719
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: points of entry for which gate to go in, even

720
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: if you're still driving through some traffic. You know what

721
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: what might be the best way to access the stadium

722
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: and what parking lots might be open, things like that.

723
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: So we communicate that internally and also with our radio

724
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: partners as well to try to get the word out

725
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: if there's things that we can do to help the

726
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: fans navigate that that kind of thing. But the Bills

727
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: Mobile app has gone through a really nice remodel, I

728
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: kind of call it with our with our internal marketing

729
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: team and Greg pis Story, Jordan McCarron and that group

730
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: there and others that are involved. You know, it's a

731
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: really easy to navigate app from stadium information to statistics,

732
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: to highlights, to future stories and community stories and everything

733
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: in between. So we recommend using Bills Mobile app for sure.

734
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: All right, well, and it's good to see again. Man,

735
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: here we are. Let's go. It's great and we should

736
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: congratulate you and your staff because I know last year

737
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: fan incidents at an all time low in the stadium.

738
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: I know you guys have worked really hard to make

739
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: it a fan friendly environment in totality from the top

740
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: of the stadium to the bottom. So congrats to you

741
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: and your staff for having all time low and fan

742
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: incidents last year. We hope it continues. Yeah, you know,

743
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that. I will say, you know, not

744
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: to be cliche, but it's really the truth. It's the

745
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: god's honest truth. It's the fans, right. It starts with

746
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: the fans and they care, right, and so it's their

747
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: feedback what they want at their game day experience, and

748
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: then just sharing that with all of our partners. We're

749
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: all in this together to make it better. This is

750
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: what the fans want, this is what they don't want.

751
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 1: Let's make it happen. So with the sheriff, the security teams,

752
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: the parking I mentioned it early, all those gamey staffing partners.

753
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: We all do this together, you know. We meet regularly

754
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: before every game, we meet regularly after every game, and

755
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: we take all that fan feedback and that game day

756
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: experience and we figure out where can we make it better,

757
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: what can we fix, what can we add, what can

758
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: we change? So thank you Bill's Mafia number one. I'm

759
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: helping us get there. Great job and Monday night. Appreciate thanks, guys,

760
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Right. That's Bill's vice president of Operations

761
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,640

Speaker 1: in Nashville, a Bill's backers bar to enjoy the game.

782
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: You're an enemy territory there, Cos, be careful. That's right,

783
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: You're a pilgrim in an unholy land. Be careful. But

784
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: that's good stuff. It's buddy in from Wyoming with it. Anyway,

785
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: You had taken the day off work. What are our

786
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: thoughts about Orchard Park in Frontier getting a half day school? Yeah? Um,

787
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: the students are lucky. I'm never used to do that,

788
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, during the drought. I know that Usually I'm

789
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: a crotchety old man, I am all about that, so

790
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm a job. Josh Gott asked about it in his

791
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: press conference this week. He goes, that's a good way

792
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: to increase the fan base. I am a big fan.

793
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm I am half a day school in your whatever

794
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: year you are where that your senior year or your

795
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: kindergarten year. Half a day school is not going to

796
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: change your life. A Monday night football game is a

797
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,439
Speaker 1: memory of a lifetime. This message brought to you, brought

798
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: to Steve Asking by Monday night football. I'm telling you

799
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. Let them out. Well, they're doing

800
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: it mainly because they're concerned about their bussing system, traffic

801
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: and getting the kids home on it would be right.

802
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: Can you imagine game date literally the worst part of

803
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: game day traffic at the time. School let's out with

804
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: those school buses stopping every fifty feet to let kids out.

805
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Let him not to mention the increased traffic

806
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: you worry about the kids crossing. It's not often I

807
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: tip my hat to the school system. That is an

808
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: absolute good decision. That is an absolutely stellar decision. Elizabeth says,

809
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: Sausage patty sliders with pimento cheese and bacon jam and

810
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo takes over Nashville grilled hot wings. Bacon jam, Steve,

811
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: is something that I've had only once. I don't know

812
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: if it was a good batch of bacon jam. What

813
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: is your level of experience with bacon jam, because it

814
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: sounds like a good thing, But I think it's essential

815
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: that it's prepared properly. Anything with bacon and it should

816
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: be good. In theory. My lifetime of experience with bacon

817
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: jam includes reading it fifteen seconds ago. Oh, you've never

818
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: had it. I don't even know what it is. Never

819
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: heard of it. Oh, I've never heard those two words together. Bacon. Yeah,

820
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: it is a It is a spread that you can

821
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: put on things like Elizabeth is doing with her sausage

822
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: patty sliders with pimento cheese. Somebody said, somebody send me

823
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: some bacon jam. Yeah, I can't. I I yeah, I

824
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: don't think I have any left in the house. I

825
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: can't wait to try bacon jam. Yeah. As we have told,

826
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: as we have told everybody with with Steve and I

827
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: being foodies in the first place, the meat pyramid begins

828
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: with pigs at the top. So bacon jam, yes, please, yeah, Um,

829
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: But I have heard from it. I've only had it once.

830
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: Bacon jam sounds like the cherry on the pinnacle of

831
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: my meat pyramid, doesn't it. Um. I have only had

832
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: it once and it was it was okay, and I'm

833
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: thinking it was because of how it was prepared. So

834
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: I am willing to go down that road again. Um.

835
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like Elizabeth knows what she's doing,

836
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: so I'd be in cline say, you know, she'd bring

837
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: it up. I will say, Elizabeth does sound like she's like,

838
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: not new at this. I like the pimento cheese with

839
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: the sausage. That's an interesting combo for a slider cheese

840
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: and I am on board. Well it is unique recipe. Yeah,

841
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: sausage patty sliders with pimento cheese and bacon jam. That

842
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: she knows what I'm intrigued she knows what she's doing. Yeah,

843
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by that combination. Daniel says, I'll be rocking

844
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: my tradavious white jersey deep in Ravens and Commander's Country. Okay,

Speaker 1: the check is in the mail, Daniel, Thanks for that. Um.

851
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: There are some people like Daniel, though, Steve, like they

852
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: have to be they have to isolate themselves alone so

853
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: they can just lock in and be laser focused on everything.

854
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: There are some people that are all about the communal experience.

855
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: I am too. You have my neighborhood. Last week, they're

856
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: out in my neighbor's yard watching it on an inflatable

857
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: giant screen. Yeah, like there's forty of them. Yeah, some

858
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: people need the communal experience. But then there are people

859
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 1: like Daniel. Get away from me. I do not divert

860
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: my attention from the game. I am laser locked on this.

861
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: If for any reason, I can't hear the game. If

862
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm watching it and I can't hear it, yeah I

863
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: gotta leave. There's too much chatter in the room. Yeah,

864
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: there's people are talking while the game's going on, and

865
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:47,479
Speaker 1: that's fine, I mean, but for me, not every game

866
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: either talking the commercial break, what are you doing over this?

867
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: But for a Bill's game. Yeah, yeah, I gotta focus

868
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: on There is I have found over the years that

869
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: typically exists in Super You know, when the Super Bowl

870
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: is on and the Bills aren't in the game, there's

871
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: a lot more chatter than when a Bills game is on, right,

872
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: which I guess to a certain extent, you can understand

873
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: people are talking about, oh that commercial out might to

874
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: see that one right, right right, and then yeah whatever.

875
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I understand where Daniel's coming from because I

876
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: used to be that way sometimes when iverybody kept watching

00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,760

Speaker 1: I mean we're gonna be eleven days before they Yeah, um,

907
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: what can be said about that? Because from what we hear,

908
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: the chatter down in Nashville is they're hoping that the

909
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: Bills might be a little rusty from the long layoff.

910
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's possible this early in the season,

911
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: but um, they're hanging their hat on it. I don't know. Uh,

912
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: the availability is my concern right now. Knowing what the

913
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: Titans do on offense, greg with Derrick Henry, they rarely

914
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: stray from it even when they're behind on the scoreboard.

915
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: And the Bills have two of their top four defensive

916
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: tackles on the injury report this week and Ed Oliver

917
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: and Tim Settle, who misspractice again for a third straight

918
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: day today. And that's a factor because I clearly in

919
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: that game against the Rams, that four men wave inside

920
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: was a big factor without question, so will Seeton. There's

921
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: no question that Henry is the player you have to stop.

922
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: And the key thing with him is big plays. You know,

923
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 1: they did not have a big play in the run

924
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: game against the Giants, and therefore Henry ended up with

925
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: less than a hundred yards. Tannehill was actually pretty efficient.

926
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: They just didn't create any big plays either running the

927
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: ball or really in the pass game. And you know,

928
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: they've got some concerns on their old line, and it'll

929
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 1: be very curious to see how they try to handle

930
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: the Bills pressure because obviously when you mentioned about Settle

931
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: and Oliver, but but the edge pressure is still going

932
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: to be there. They start a rookie at right tackling,

933
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: Fatite Frere from Ohio State, who actually played very well

934
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: guys in the first game, but he will have some

935
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: welcome to the NFL moments, There's no question. And I

936
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: have to tell you, based on tape study, and I

937
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: actually talked with a coach about this as well, Teller

938
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: Lewan has really not been that strong at the left

939
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: tackle position. And the tape tells you that because last

940
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: year I went through this summer all their third down snaps,

941
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: the Titans that is, and they helped tell Er Lwan

942
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: an awful lot on third down. So that tells you

943
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: what you need to know. You know, I'm not making

944
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: a subjective statement. They're telling you that they need to

945
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: help him because they're helping him on third down. Yeah,

946
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: and if he needed help on third down, they got

947
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: a rookie right tackle. I mean, and we saw the

948
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: Bills throw seven sacks at the Rams this last week,

949
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: and first of all, wrap up that game with the Rams.

950
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: Was the Bills defense at both both in the back

951
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: end and in the front. Were they that good on

952
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night? Or were the Rams surprisingly not as sharp

953
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: as they you expected them to be. I mean, give

954
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: us a little synopsis of how the Bill's defense play,

955
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: because it looked really dominant. It was. It was dominant

956
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: upfront for sure, as you guys know, Jordan Phillips was

957
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 1: absolutely dominant. Um. He had some really strong snaps as

958
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: an inside pass rusher versus the left guard. Edwards, he

959
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: really popped on tape. I thought he had some really

960
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: strong run plays as well. You know, he was probably

961
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: the player that I don't want to say surprising, because

962
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: I think he's been a good player in the league,

963
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: but I think that you know, you didn't necessarily expect that,

964
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: but he had many dominant snaps. You know. The issue

965
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: for the Rams it was their all line. It starts there.

966
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: They couldn't protect. We saw what von Miller did to

967
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: Note Boom at times. You know, Epanessa had some really

968
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: good rushes. I mean that side, that matchup of the

969
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 1: D line for the Bills versus the O line of

970
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: the Rams was really problematic for the Rams. Now again,

971
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: if Settle and Oliver don't go, it's still a really

972
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: good d line. And keep in mind the left guard

973
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: for the Titans, Brewer, he's about two hundred and eighty pounds.

974
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: So I'll be really curious to see how that works

975
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: when Phillips is in there, because Phillips is what three fifteen,

976
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: he's more like, well, there you go, and he's actually

977
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: got pretty light feet. Yeah, so I I you know,

978
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: I think there's still going to be a significant advantage

979
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: for the Bills when it comes to pass rush. You know,

980
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: obviously the number one point in this game is run

981
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: stopping because think of it this way. It's not just

982
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: you're trying to prevent yards. Obviously that's a given. But

983
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: the last thing you want in this game is the

984
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: Titans coming on the road where you know the stadium

985
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: will be crazy and controlling the pace and tempo of

986
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: the game with their run game, you know, because you

987
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: don't need to have fifty yard runs to do that.

988
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: You know, if Henry runs four yards, six yards, seven yards,

989
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: you do get first downs and you control the pace

990
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: and tempo of the game. So that's the key thing here, right, now,

991
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they really have the wide receivers that

992
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: you would expect to be able to make a lot

993
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: of big plays at this point in time. Right, Let's

994
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: examine that a little more closely, though, Greg, because a

995
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: guy that landed on the Bills injury report yesterday was

996
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson with a knee injury. Did not practice yesterday,

997
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: did not practice again today, So there is at least

998
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: the potential for the Bills to be starting two rookie

999
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 1: corners on the outside with Tarren Johnson and the slot

1000
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: in the nickel package. I know that this is not

1001
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: a juggernaut passing offense, but as you pointed out, Tannehill

1002
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: can still grip it and rip it. And I thought

1003
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: he made a handful of some really nice throws last

1004
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: week against the Giants. What do you foresee there? And

1005
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 1: might the Titans be tempted to maybe give Tannehill five

1006
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: to eight more pass attempts this week if you know

1007
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: Henry is held in check and doesn't have one of

1008
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: those fifty sixty yard runs. Yeah, And you bring up

1009
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: a great point, Brownie. And I always think to myself

1010
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: when I watched the Titans, the conversations their coaching staff

1011
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: has because we know it starts with Derrick Henry. We

1012
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: know that. But you know last week Tannehill who was

1013
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: nine for ten for one hundred and thirty five yards

1014
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns on first down. Okay, that's really good.

1015
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: So I always think to myself, what's what do they

1016
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: talk about? Do they think, Hey, yeah, we got Derrick

1017
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: Henry and he's our foundation, But boy, if we could

1018
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: throw the ball on first down and be really effective,

1019
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 1: maybe that's our better way to try to create explosive plays.

1020
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: Because there's no question that every team, the Bills won't

1021
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: be any different, really go into a game with the

1022
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: idea that, based on fronts, based on second level alignments,

1023
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 1: that your goal is to shut down Derrick Henry. So

1024
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think about that, and I'm sure they're

1025
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: thinking about it as well. So I don't really know,

1026
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, none of us know until they play. Here's

1027
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: my other question for you. We've seen at times, we

1028
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: saw it last year with New England. They rarely do it,

1029
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: but is this a game where they would do it?

1030
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: If the Titans play a lot of two tight ends.

1031
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: Last week they lined up with three tight ends on occasion,

1032
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: is this maybe a chance where they do take Johnson

1033
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: off the field and put another linebacker in. Obviously that's

1034
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: only going to happen a couple of times, but we

1035
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: have seen it. Could that happen. It could, but it's

1036
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: the Bills are very reluctant to come out of that.

1037
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: And I even looked at because I looked at last week,

1038
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: last year's game against the Titans. AJ Klein was the

1039
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: third line backer on this roster. Last year he got

1040
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: three snaps. I know I saw that. I looked at

1041
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: that as well. So you know that leads you to

1042
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: believe that they'll leave Johnson on. And by the way,

1043
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: Johnson is a very good player, yes, and he's very

1044
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: competitive and very good against the run. You know he's

1045
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: not I don't view him. I don't know how you

1046
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: guys feel, but I don't view him as a liability

1047
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: in the run. No, No, I don't think anybody's. One

1048
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: of the things you got to look at two is

1049
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: um the Bills. I mean, there's a scenario now at

1050
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: least you know we're four days away, but it looks

1051
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: like it could be. It could be Christian Benford and

1052
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: kier Elam starting at both corners on the outside with

1053
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson inside, what kind of you know, the weapons

1054
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: of Tennessee. They're not the weapons they had last year.

1055
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: It's not a j Brown and Julio Jones. How does

1056
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: that factor into in your way of thinking to what

1057
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: the Titans think they can do against the secondary that's

1058
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: not manned by Tredavious White and Levi Wallace, but it's

1059
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: the two rookies. Yeah, that's a great question, Steve, because

1060
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, look, they're starting receivers. Last week when they

1061
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: were basically went with their bass personnel, where Woods and

1062
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: Westbrookheny now book the rookie Burks got snaps, and I

1063
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: thought there was there was more positives to Burkes last

1064
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: week than negatives. And I think that Phillips, the rookie

1065
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: slot receiver, is a really intriguing player, and I think

1066
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be very, very good. But I don't

1067
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: know if they would look at and say, hey, our receivers.

1068
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Robert Woods is a really good pro. I'm

1069
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: not sure he's a one on one matchup type player though,

1070
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: where you say, hey man, it's Robert Woods. You know,

1071
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: we're just gonna put him out there and he's just

1072
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: going to dominate I don't think he's that kind of player,

1073
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: although I love the player, but so I don't know

1074
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: if they'd see it Steve as a huge advantage and

1075
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: say we have to sort of tweak our offense this

1076
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: week and really start tossing the ball around a little more. Look,

1077
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't presume to get into the head of Mike Rabel,

1078
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: but I would think Mike Vrabel, and you know what

1079
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: we know about him, his background, the kind of player

1080
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: he was, the toughness and competitiveness that just exudes from him.

1081
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: I would think that he would be talking to his

1082
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: team about, Hey, we're going to be physical, We're going

1083
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: to be competitive, We're gonna take it to this team.

1084
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna go up, we're gonna go on the road,

1085
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: and we're gonna just we're gonna beat the You know what, Adam,

1086
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: I would think he would think that way more than

1087
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna spread it out and start tossing it around.

1088
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Let's flip it around to the defensive side of the ball.

1089
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: For the Titans last year in this matchup, they took

1090
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: a coverage based approach. I think they only set five

1091
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: or more rushers at Josh, like four times. The entire game.

1092
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: I think it was. Yeah, I think it was five total.

1093
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: The whole foundation of what they did last year was

1094
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: disguise and late movement, right. That was really the approach

1095
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: they took in the secondary. There were times it worked

1096
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: in other times I thought that Josh did a really

1097
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: really good job. I can remember some play is obviously

1098
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: these receivers are gone, but it's not the point of

1099
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: who the receiver is. But I can remember he hit Sanders,

1100
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,479
Speaker 1: he hit Beasley where he did a really good job

1101
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: of quickly deciphering the late movement and knowing exactly where

1102
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: to go with the football. Right. So this year things

1103
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: are a little bit different. Josh was even critical of himself,

1104
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: saying last year, at times he had his eyes in

1105
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: the wrong place, particularly on some third downs, and he

1106
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: credited the safeties, you know, with their late movement and stuff,

1107
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: for putting his eyes in the wrong place. So he's

1108
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: been studying that eight ways to Monday. The question I

1109
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: have here, though, is there's no Harold Landry, even though

1110
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: bud Dupree looks like the old bud Dupree, or at

1111
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: least he did to me last week on film. And

1112
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons is still a monster inside. So what do

1113
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: you anticipate their approach being, knowing they're still adjusting to

1114
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: life without Landry, and at times they were successful with

1115
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 1: that coverage based approach, Yes they were, but I think

1116
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: that you know, in seeing the game last week against

1117
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: the Giants, they did not really generate much edge pressure.

1118
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Simmons is a man, and if you probably saw many

1119
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: of the plays, I mean, he just schooled the rookie

1120
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: left guard, a Zoo from North Carolina on a number

1121
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: of plays, and even Brettison, who played as well at

1122
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: left guard. And Simmons is a load. He's tough, and

1123
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: they're very good with what we call t T stunts

1124
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: tackle tackle stunts inside. They do that really well. He

1125
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: and Autry are very good at that when they go

1126
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: into their dying package. But they really did not generate

1127
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: much pass rush pressure off the edge, and that's obviously

1128
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: a concern for them with Landry. Now, I don't think,

1129
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, that they're going to blitz

1130
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't you know every They might blitz selectively,

1131
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: but I don't think the way they'll try to generate

1132
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: pressure in this game is by blitzing, because it's not

1133
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: only the fact that they could be exposed on the

1134
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: back end, but it's the fact that Josh Allen is

1135
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: really good making second reaction plays and the last you know,

1136
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: you just you have to be careful about that. Is

1137
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: there any thought in your mind? You and you mentioned

1138
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: and I agree with you that Vaybel's in there telling

1139
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: his players that they got to play physical, tackle hard,

1140
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: hit hard, and physically dominate. And it's almost like maybe

1141
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: we would, maybe we are going to rush Josh Allen,

1142
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: try and get some shots on him. And even if

1143
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: he does run, he's not going down, you know what

1144
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean, He's not sliding. He's not the guy to

1145
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: run out of bound. So get your shots in on him.

1146
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: When he's on his feet with the ball refusing to

1147
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: go down. Let's converge on Josh Allen, try and beat

1148
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: him up as well during this game. I mean, that

1149
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: seems an obvious strategy for a team like Tennessee. Yeah,

1150
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think given what they'd bring to the table,

1151
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: particularly on the offensive side of the ball, and again

1152
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: that's why they play these games. You never know, but

1153
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: I think you'd be hard pressed, as we look at

1154
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: the game now to think that this team has the

1155
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: fire hour to play a game in which they say,

1156
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,919
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna win thirty eight thirty five. Right.

1157
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they can think that way,

1158
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you know, it's they have to

1159
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: find a way to make this a twenty four twenty

1160
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: one game or a twenty one seventeen game. And I

1161
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: don't think they would think the way to go about that,

1162
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: Steve is by spreading it out. And again that doesn't

1163
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: mean they never will, you know, nothing as one hundred

1164
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: percent as you well know, right, you know, but we're

1165
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: just talking about overall philosophy, right, And I would agree

1166
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: with that. How would this match up if this matchup

1167
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: comes out and they want to keep they don't want

1168
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: to trade possessions with the Bills. I mean, they don't

1169
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: want Josh Hown to come out an opening drive go

1170
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, go eighty five yards for a touchdown, come

1171
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: out go one, two, three and punt and then have

1172
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: the Bills go seventy yards five yards again for it, right,

1173
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: and then you're down two possessions when that comes about?

1174
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: How do they match up on the outside with Diggs,

1175
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Davis McKenzie or crowd on the inside, what are there?

1176
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, And I get it the safeties are going

1177
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: to try and confuse Josh, but what if he's not

1178
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: going to be confused. Yeah, and obviously Bayer's one of

1179
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: the best in the league at that so we'll see.

1180
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: But they start a rookie at left corner, a rookie

1181
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: I really like. You know, we spoke about him leading

1182
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: up to the draft because we thought the Bills could

1183
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: possibly take him. Right Roger McCreary's a really good player,

1184
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: but he's a rookie corner um, so you know, they

1185
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: play left and right. They don't match up, so there

1186
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: will be times he's matched up to digs, there'll be

1187
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: times he's he's matched up to others. You know, he's

1188
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: he plays on the left side. You know, Fulton is

1189
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: a good player. Last week he had his brain freeze

1190
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: on a long touchdown to Shephard. Only he could tell

1191
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: you what he was thinking. But he's a solid player,

1192
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: so you know. And then inside, they just signed a

1193
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago or traded for Amani and he

1194
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: is their slot corner, so you know, I think they're

1195
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 1: beat a ball, you know, and without a pass rush

1196
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: uming there isn't one. Again, we don't know, but assuming

1197
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: there isn't a strong pass rush, I would think that

1198
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will be fairly comfortable in the pocket in

1199
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: this game. And then with respect to the special teams,

1200
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Phillips not only get some slot work on offense,

1201
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: but he was there. You know, he's their punt returner. Also,

1202
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: the UCLA kid at a fifth round pick, had a

1203
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: muff last week, lost the ball and it allowed the

1204
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Giants to come back into the game. Are what are

1205
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: I mean? Just in the conversations you've had with coaches

1206
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: over the years, you see that stuff on film and

1207
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: you kind of want to test it, but you know

1208
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: there's a fine line. You got to walk there because

1209
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: you know you don't want to get within two yards,

1210
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: draw a flag and then you know, give give the

1211
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: offense an extra ten yards to the opponent. I'm just

1212
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 1: wondering when you see that on tape, much like the

1213
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: Titans are probably looking at James Cook fumbling on his

1214
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: first career, Carrie along with Zach Mosson are probably gonna

1215
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: be mindful of that. How do you approach that from

1216
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: a special team's perspective? When you see somebody coughing the

1217
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: ball up, especially a young player. It's not the coughing

1218
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: it up so much. Hearing you talk made me think

1219
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: about how coaches might see this game, Like how Mike

1220
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: Rabel might see this game. Does he go into this

1221
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,479
Speaker 1: game with the idea and he wouldn't tell his team

1222
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: this that, oh, we're not as good. I don't think

1223
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: coaches say stuff like that, Steve. But maybe I'm wrong,

1224
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: but you know, this might be a game where he's

1225
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: thinking in terms of field position. You know, maybe he's

1226
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: trying to think that, okay, you know, instead of going

1227
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: forward and being really aggressive, maybe we want to play

1228
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: a game where we kick it and we put the

1229
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,479
Speaker 1: Bills down inside the five yard line and we try

1230
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: to sneak in, you know, an extra good possession where

1231
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,439
Speaker 1: we can get the ball at the fifty yard line.

1232
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, this is where a philosophy

1233
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: of a coach and a philosophy of approach comes into play.

1234
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: You know, do you go into this game with the

1235
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: idea that you have to match the Bills and, like

1236
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: I said, win a thirty eight thirty five game, or

1237
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: are you going into this game with the idea that

1238
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: you're playing to make it a twenty one seventeen game,

1239
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: because I think that changes your entire approach in some

1240
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: critical situations, which include special teams. Let's look at the Bills.

1241
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: One last thing to look at the Bills offense for me,

1242
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Crowder and Knox. Crowder got in made

1243
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: some really key catches in the LA game, seemed really

1244
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: steady was their punt returner for the game. And Dawson

1245
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: Knox really didn't get much of a chance to contribute

1246
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: except in the running out and that kind of thing.

1247
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: If you're looking to give the Titans something this season

1248
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: that they haven't seen, those two guys might be the

1249
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: new wrinkle that the Bills could use. Yeah, I mean,

1250
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: I think Dawson Knox. We know he's very athletic. We

1251
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 1: know he can detach from the formation. They have so

1252
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: many weapons, that's the thing, you know, it's it's it's

1253
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: it's not going to be a situation probably with the

1254
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: exception of Digs and maybe Davis, where other guys will

1255
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: be week to week, depending on the opponent, depending on

1256
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: how the game is playing out, depending on how the

1257
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff sees certain things that they see as the

1258
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: game plays out, but Dawson Knox can certainly be a

1259
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: matchup problem. And you know, the Titans kind of mix

1260
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: and match coverages. They're not They're not hardcore one or

1261
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: the other. It's not like, you know, let's say the

1262
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Patriots of two three years ago, you say, oh, you

1263
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get man coverage no matter what. You know,

1264
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: the Titans are not necessarily that kind of team, so

1265
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: they'll play different coverages situationally. So Knox, he certainly could

1266
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: be a factor. You know. I think one of the

1267
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: things that has stood out to me about the Bills,

1268
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: and I think it showed up really well early in

1269
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: that game Week one, was I think they've become very

1270
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: good situationally. You know, as soon as I saw the

1271
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: touchdown to Davis, I said, god, I've seen that play before.

1272
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: You know, I think they've become really good in those situations.

1273
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,719
Speaker 1: And I think those kinds of things are really really

1274
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: horton and winning games. Last one from me Greg concerns

1275
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: the usage of Reggie Gilliam, which was pretty pretty varied

1276
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: and interesting. You know, sometimes he was a true fullback

1277
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: in twenty one personnel. Sometimes he looked like more of

1278
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: an h back. It looks like one of the new

1279
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: wrinkles that Ken Dorsey's bringing to this offense. I'm just

1280
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 1: curious as to your thoughts about his usage number one

1281
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: and where it might go going forward. And that may

1282
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: tie in with the hiring of Aaron Cromers, because you know,

1283
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,600
Speaker 1: I think they would like to run the ball a

1284
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: little more, and I think they'd probably like to run it,

1285
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, line up and say here, we can run

1286
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: the ball with some physicality. And Gilham played nineteen snaps

1287
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: in that game. Now, I don't know if I'll played

1288
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: nineteen every single week, but I think that they would

1289
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 1: like to be able to line up in base personnel

1290
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: and say we can run the ball, we can pound

1291
01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 1: the ball, we can play multiple ways. So we'll see

1292
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: if that continues. It's really interesting, Brownie. You know, we

1293
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: don't know that because obviously last year there were very

1294
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: few games in which he played a lot of snaps.

1295
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But you know, my sense is that

1296
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: they would like to line up and run the ball.

1297
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: You know, Look, everybody talks about Josh running the ball

1298
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: and how that's no good. You know, that becomes hypocritical

1299
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways, because hey, I'm in

1300
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: the Philly area and everybody says, God, you know, they

1301
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: need to have Jalen Hurts run the ball more, and

1302
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: no one says anything about that, So you know, it's

1303
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: just Josh is a better passer obviously, So we'll see,

1304
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: but I do think they'd like to have a more

1305
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: physical run game. Well, before we go, what's what's your

1306
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: first question you want would love to see answered in

1307
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,879
Speaker 1: this Bill's Tennessee game. What are you looking for matchup

1308
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: wise that you're wondering about most? Oh, that's you know.

1309
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think to me, the biggest matchup that

1310
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: we don't don't know the answer to is going to

1311
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: be Henry and the run game versus the Bills d

1312
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: because last year, obviously Henry had the big long run

1313
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: and that got him up to what Brownie was at

1314
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: about one hundred and fifty yards Henry had last year

1315
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: twenty three. I think he finished with yeah, yeah, and

1316
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: he had the long run. And that's the critical piece

1317
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: to me, because I think that this the offense for

1318
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: the Titans is not really a big play offense, and

1319
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it can be right now. And again,

1320
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: having said that, that doesn't mean they can't hit one,

1321
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, because who knows. But I don't think that's

1322
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,679
Speaker 1: what they really are. And I think if you can

1323
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: keep Henry from big plays, Steve, then you really have

1324
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: a distinct advantage. I mean, that's what happened this week

1325
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: with the Giants. You know, Henry his long run was

1326
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: eighteen yards and other than that, he may have only

1327
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: had one other run that was ten plus yards if

1328
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 1: memory serves me correctly, And that changes everything about the

1329
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:57,759
Speaker 1: Titans offense, right, just like a giant run changes everything

1330
01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 1: for them because it allows him to keep running it

1331
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: because that usually when he when he has a forty

1332
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,600
Speaker 1: plus yard run, he usually finishes one of those in

1333
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 1: the end zone, just like what happened last year in

1334
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: the game that we saw in Week six. Greg, thanks

1335
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,800

1346
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: It's time for the latest installment of Taskers Jammin, presented

1347
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: by Wegman's Meals to Go Delicious Meals delivered download the

1348
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: Wegman's app today. I am so out of practice with this.

1349
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: We'll just have to set that's right. The pressure is

1350
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: on for sure. So we begin with clue number one.

1351
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: Steve born in Rockford, Illinois, nineteen sixty one. I played

1352
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: my high school ball for Mondy Line in the Midwest,

1353
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,919
Speaker 1: but I played my college ball on the West Coast

1354
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: at San Diego State. JD. Williams, it is not JD. Williams.

1355
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 1: We move on to clue number two. After starting for

1356
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: two seasons for the Aztecs on the defensive line, I

1357
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 1: was drafted in both the NFL and USFL. I was

1358
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: a third round pick of the Bills and a second

1359
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: round pick of the Oakland Invaders in nineteen eighty four,

1360
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:13,800

Speaker 1: got the Bills, Manthia real strong out here on the

1374
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 1: West coast. Man, So everybody's fired up. Yeah, you know,

1375
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: and you've seen this team too. I mean I tell

1376
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 1: everybody they're a wrecking crew. What did you think about

1377
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game against the Rams? Oh my god,

1378
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: it was awesome. It was awesome. Nobody saw well, I

1379
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: think a lot of people saw that coming. But you know,

1380
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: at the at the spread that the game finished up

1381
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: on was crazy. I think they did an awesome job.

1382
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what a fun team to watch. I mean

1383
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 1: the defense is crazy to watch. And obviously I'm a

1384
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: defensive guy. I watched it through my position, and man,

1385
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a fun team to watch. Yeah,

1386
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: what did you I mean the d line dominated in

1387
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: that first game as you saw a Sewan I mean

1388
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: seven sacks, fifteen quarterback hits. I mean that's twenty two

1389
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: times Stafford got hit on forty one dropbacks. That's a

1390
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: defensive lineman's dream. Yeah, that was crazy, huh. I mean

1391
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 1: they just kept coming there. There was nothing he could

1392
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: do back there. It was I mean, there was a

1393
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Von was out of control in that game. Man,

1394
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: it was a great, great game to see him come

1395
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: back on and see him in the myths, in the

1396
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: myths of all that going on and on the defense. Man,

1397
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: what a what a strong leader and what a what

1398
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: a great defense, fun team to watch. Yeah, and now

1399
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: that you were here in eighty four and then you

1400
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 1: saw Bruce get drafted overall in eighty five and you saw,

1401
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: you know what a guy like that can do. So

1402
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: give us some insight as to you know, you get

1403
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: a guy like von Miller walking in the door, it's

1404
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: got to be kind of the same thing as when

1405
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: Bruce walks in the door as a first pick. Yeah,

1406
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: you know Bruce, You know Bruce, Bruce came when he

1407
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: came the year after me, and you know, obviously it

1408
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: was great to have him. But at the same time,

1409
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's only two defensive end positions on the team,

1410
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 1: and I'm figuring he's got one of them for the

1411
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 1: next fifteen years, so that limits might put my time

1412
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 1: slot there. And uh, you know, it was great he came.

1413
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: You know, he just came on right away. You could

1414
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 1: see when Bruce, you know, certain certain guys Steve. You

1415
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 1: know this, I always tell people in the NFL, you know,

1416
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: the big difference there is that everybody's got something everybody's

1417
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: got something special. Man, Now, how the hell you did

1418
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: your gunner thing, I still don't know, but you did it,

1419
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's it's special. And when Bruce

1420
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: came in, man, he was you know, and I'd sit

1421
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: there with Joe Devlin and Bogusy and all those guys.

1422
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: We'd watched Bruce just not even look like he was trying.

1423
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 1: But he was just so graceful in his pass rushes,

1424
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: and you could just see the talent dripping off that

1425
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 1: guy man. So you know, it was a real pleasure

1426
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: to play with him. So, Sean, in researching some of

1427
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: the clues I had to give Steve, you tell me

1428
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:41,679
Speaker 1: is the number one play of your career your fumble

1429
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown? I mean, you guys ultimately didn't

1430
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 1: win that game. And I looked it up. This is

1431
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: eighty seven. It's late in the season. You guys have

1432
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: a chance to clinch the AFC East with a win

1433
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 1: or be out of the playoffs with a loss. You

1434
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: want to talk about a swing game. You guys are

1435
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: playing the Patriots. It's forty mile per hour wins for

1436
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: this game. Um, paint the picture leading up to your

1437
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 1: fumble return. Well, you know, I mean we were we

1438
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: were just playing as tough as we could. We had

1439
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,600
Speaker 1: a great defense back then. We had our defense was

1440
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 1: always top ranked with everybody that we had from Cornelius

1441
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 1: to Bruce through me and Fred and has and you

1442
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: know everybody behind you know, Shane, Shane was you know there,

1443
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:29,640
Speaker 1: everybody man we had. We were stocked and and uh,

1444
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: you know when they came in and knocked that ball

1445
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: loose and I picked it up and ran. I mean,

1446
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: my my biggest thing was when I got the end zone. Man.

1447
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the entire team was on top of me

1448
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: and I couldn't breathe and I'm screaming. I could hear

1449
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: the crowd, but I'm like, you guys need to get

1450
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 1: the hell off me so I could break and breathe. Man.

1451
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: So you know, we got through that. And then of course,

1452
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 1: right right after that, you know, Steve, I was on

1453
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: a lot of special teams with you, and I was

1454
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 1: on the kickoff team. So right after that play, I'm

1455
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 1: on kickoff, I run down on kickoff, we stop them,

1456
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:02,759
Speaker 1: they get the ball again. And on the very next

1457
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: offensive play, I believe it was if you look it up,

1458
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: they ran and oh, I don't know what it was.

1459
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: It was a counter thirty six come in my way

1460
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,679
Speaker 1: and somebody hit the running back and the ball came

1461
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: out again, very and I picked the ball up and

1462
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 1: ran the entire length of the field right after that

1463
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: for another touchdown, which they called back. And you can

1464
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: go back and look at this I got. I'm gonna

1465
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: tell you not now, I'm gonna I'm gonna ran here

1466
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: just for about ten seconds because I had that one.

1467
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,440
Speaker 1: And then the very weekend that the that the uh,

1468
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: the in the grass rule back in the day came in.

1469
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: That's right. You know, we were playing Washington and we

1470
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: had the same damn thing. Bruce came in from the

1471
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: other side, blindside hit. You know. It was typical quarterbacks standing,

1472
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: they're ready to throw. Bruce comes in or it comes

1473
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: in from the other side, hits the quarterback, ball flies out,

1474
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: bounces right in front of me against the skins, and

1475
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 1: I pick it up, run that for a touchdown, you know,

1476
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: and get that touchdown brought back. So it was you know,

1477
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: they were there were number of plays in there, and

1478
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: and Madden picked that game up. He was doing the

1479
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: Bears game in Chicago, where I'm from, and so all

1480
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm getting all these messages after the game,

1481
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,759
Speaker 1: say Madden picked it up and started his rant about

1482
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: why he hated the in the grasp rule that was

1483
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: around for a while, unfortunately while I was playing. But anyway,

1484
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: that's my little bit of rant. Radisac forced the fumble

1485
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: that you got credited for the touchdown on at least

1486
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: he got That's that's what the stats said. Uh yeah,

1487
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 1: he hit Grogan on the play, right, how about that? Yeah, Steve,

1488
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah that And it was it was one of those

1489
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: times when that team, that franchise was in a huge transition.

1490
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: When I got there, it was Marv's first game, it

1491
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 1: was my first game, and you know, they had been

1492
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 1: through the Hank Bulla era. Uh Hank gets let go

1493
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: in week nine. I show up in week ten, Marv's

1494
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: first game. And so it was it was a team

1495
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: that was like two and fourteen and eighty four, two

1496
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: and fourteen and eighty five, and I get there in

1497
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: eighty six and they're one and eight, and you know,

1498
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: it was so it was a it was time for

1499
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: something to happen. It was time for Yeah, it was tough.

1500
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you what a breath of fresh

1501
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: air to have have Marv come through the door, right,

1502
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, with his suit on, and you know, the

1503
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 1: whole the whole group he came in with, and you know,

1504
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: um Stevie back then, it was like I remember your

1505
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: John Kidd coming up me and goes, they're bringing Stevie

1506
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: Tasker in and they're bringing you know, then they're bringing

1507
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: these other couple of Special Teams guys in and and

1508
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 1: I think I got this pretty close. Tell me if

1509
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But you came in at the same time

1510
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 1: when around around the same time, if not the same time,

1511
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: when Dean Prader came in and then POTSI those guys

1512
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 1: came in from Kansas City, right, because Marv, So, I mean,

1513
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: bet bet you gotta. Everybody's gonna remember back in the day,

1514
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 1: the lead the kind of like the league leaders in

1515
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: Special Teams were Seattle in Kansas City, right, and mar

1516
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 1: Marv was running the show in Kansas City there for

1517
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: a while. When he when he came on board in

1518
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: in uh in Buffalo. That was one of the first

1519
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 1: things he said is you know, this is a third

1520
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 1: of the game and we are going to get a

1521
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: lot better. And then all of a sudden, you guys

1522
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 1: came in and it was like that movie fricking Slapshot Man,

1523
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: like you guys, Yeah, you're right right, I mean, you

1524
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 1: guys came in and everybody, Steve, you ran out on

1525
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: the field and Fred Friend's yelling, rabs get the little

1526
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: kid off the field. You know. So, Sean, I got

1527
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: to ask you this because Steve tells this story all

1528
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 1: the time. He said, it's like his first time after

1529
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 1: getting picked up off waivers. He's sitting in the back

1530
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: of the team meeting room and Marv's talking about how

1531
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 1: you guys are going to get better on special teams,

1532
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 1: and he introduces Steve. You know one of the guys

1533
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 1: is going to help us, is Steve Taskers stand up, Steve.

1534
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 1: Steve stands up in the back of the room and

1535
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 1: Steve said, the look of disappointment was overwhelming because they

1536
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: looked at a guy that looked like a twelve year old.

1537
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: How do you remember that moment there, if at all

1538
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:02,599
Speaker 1: exactly how everybody look like. You know, you gotta remember

1539
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: something here. He came into a team. You know, you

1540
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,839
Speaker 1: described it well, Steve. We were beat up man. Yeah,

1541
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 1: you came. You came into the team and we were

1542
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: losing games. And I can tell you and again you

1543
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: can check some of these stats on defense. We were

1544
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: we were kicking ass on defense, and we kicked us

1545
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: for a number of years there. And you know, I'm

1546
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 1: not pointing fingers anywhere, obviously it's a team sport, but

1547
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: you know everywhere and you know we didn't we didn't

1548
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:30,839
Speaker 1: see that. But when when when Steve came in, we certainly,

1549
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: we certainly took notice and we were you know again

1550
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: I said, uh, I said, John Kidd had told me

1551
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: about Steve ahead of time, right, so you know, I

1552
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: was like, okay, man, this is gonna be great. But

1553
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: you know, for me personally, I can tell you that

1554
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, there was you know, never never really any

1555
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 1: prejudgment there like that at all. We got to kick

1556
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: out of it. But you know, to see, um, how

1557
01:24:54,520 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 1: Marth you know, took our team and really changed the

1558
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: way it was led from every aspect of the game.

1559
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 1: And Steve, you gotta be there to know how what

1560
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You were and and you saw the transition.

1561
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately I was, you know, I was under

1562
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: the Hank Bullah era and uh you know, um, there

1563
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: weren't many sad faces to see him go and see Marv.

1564
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 1: To see Marv come in and take over and treat

1565
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:31,720
Speaker 1: us like man, treat us, you know, intelligently and respectfully,

1566
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 1: was huge and everybody responded to it. And when he

1567
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,679
Speaker 1: started bringing out and I'm telling you, I think I'm

1568
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 1: pretty right on this, like they brought out he started

1569
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: pulling in old mattresses and had you guys coming off

1570
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 1: the corner on practicing punt block and extra point block,

1571
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: and I've never seen anything like it. You know, it

1572
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: was gonna I think a lot of people didn't. It

1573
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,480
Speaker 1: was just like like I said, it was the transition

1574
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 1: period where people were like really picking up with special teams.

1575
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: Mat Yeah, I get it's true story. I got in

1576
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: on a Saturday, the day before the Pittsburgh game, his

1577
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: first game, who beat him in forty mile an hour wins.

1578
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: The next Tuesday or the next Wednesday, when we started practicing,

1579
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: he kept me out after practice and taught me how

1580
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 1: to well how he wanted me to block a punt.

1581
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: The next Sunday in New England, I blocked a punt

1582
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: my first punt of my career the next very next week,

1583
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:27,640
Speaker 1: the very next game. So all of a sudden, I

1584
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 1: was his guy, right, I was. I was going nowhere,

1585
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 1: there's a great because he taught me how to do

1586
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 1: it on Wednesday and I'm doing in a game on Sunday,

1587
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: and that was that was kind of it for me.

1588
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: There you go, wait to wait to make a first impression.

1589
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: Steve Sean. Unfortunately we are at a time, but it

1590
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 1: was great to catch up with you. Thanks for the

1591
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: conversation and thanks for confirming. Uh. Steve was seen as

1592
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: a twelve year old in a football uniform for a

1593
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:52,600
Speaker 1: little while by his fellow teammates. Great man, I appreciate you.

1594
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 1: Take care you two man. We'll see you guys later.

1595
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: Take care of Yep. That's our latest taskers teammate. It's

1596
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: Sean mcnanny. Is that Annie mcnannie Is that guy? Yeah?

1597
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: He was. And Dean Prator another guy they were. They

1598
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: were buddies and he's right. Dean Prator came in and

1599
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: and was one of my special teams guys. That was

1600
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: one of the early guys. Him at Pike was there.

1601
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,639
Speaker 1: We started making them hey right away. Yeah, good addition

1602
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:21,639
Speaker 1: a Tasker's team. Mat I enjoyed that one. We got

1603
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:24,599
Speaker 1: to take a break here. When we come back. It's

1604
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 1: building a game plan. We'll tell you about it next

1605
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Live stay tune time for building

1606
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:45,600
Speaker 1: a game Plan presented by United Rentals. United Rentals is

1607
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: the exclusive an official construction equipment rental partner of the

1608
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill. Steve take it Away game plan for the

1609
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: Bill's offense. Bill's Offense, don't change what you do and

1610
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 1: do what you do best. Josh is gonna sling it

1611
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: all over the yard, no question about it. He can't.

1612
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,040
Speaker 1: They came out again the Rams, in a game that

1613
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 1: everybody was kind of walking on pins and needles, started

1614
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: out with ten straight completions. Look for them to do

1615
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 1: that again. And I'll say this too. If the Tennessee

1616
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 1: Titans go down by two scores, you can bet the

1617
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: Bills are going to see if they can stop the run.

1618
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 1: Like they could not stop the run against the Giants.

1619
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna do what they do best. The Bills are

1620
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: gonna throw the football, move the chains, and if this

1621
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 1: game gets if they can get a double digit score

1622
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: on this game, on this team, you can bet the

1623
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:30,560
Speaker 1: Bills will hand the ball off to Zack Moss, Devin Singletary,

1624
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 1: James Cook and they'll just move the chains with the

1625
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: passing game and you won't be able to get him

1626
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,639
Speaker 1: off the field. And I think it'll be a moral

1627
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 1: victory if the because nobody's been able to make these

1628
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:45,600
Speaker 1: guys punt yet in the last four games, so we'll see. Defensively,

1629
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: I think it the defensive line again has to come

1630
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: up big like they did last year. Last week, but

1631
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 1: in a much different way. They have to really force

1632
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Derek Henry to reroute his initial angle of his run plays.

1633
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: If they can get him going east west more than

1634
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 1: north south, advantage Buffalo, and then those guys on the edges,

1635
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: Rousseau Lawson, if he's up Von Miller, they got to

1636
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: make a difference and force him wider, wider, wider, spill

1637
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: those run plays and that'll work. Big show on Monday,

1638
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 1: an extended pregame Mike Robinson and Steve Levy from ESPN.

1639
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: We'll see you at twelve
