7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: woke up around US six and took a look outside.

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Do you have this issue? This is a weird question.

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: I can't tell when I first wake up how much

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: snow there is outside. I don't know if it's a

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: foot or an inch or two? And it was only

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: an interest. I mean when I first I'm talking about

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: one at my eyes first open and I stand up,

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: look outside second story. You're in the second story. Maybe

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: I can't tell. Is it two inches or two feet?

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: It takes me I have to go down. My wife

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: said how much snow is out there? And saying I

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: don't know to the ground cover. Yeah yeah, how many?

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: How many did you get? How many entry inches? I

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: guess you got a little more than that over mine? Yes,

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: And I'm only like five minutes from I know, I know.

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: I think I'm hired my plow. My plow guy didn't

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: hit me today before, nor did mine. What's up with that? Listen?

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Plow guys are an off limit subject between my wife.

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Oh you can't. You told me you can't. I can't problem.

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: I cannot address the problem nor talk about it. I'm

27
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: supposed to talk to and I can't, and I can't.

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: I can't. Yeah, I can't. I'm not allowed to interact

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: with any plow person, and I cannot talk to my

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: kids about plow people either. What can you give us

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: a capsule summary of maybe what happened? It sounds like

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: a good story. I have some emotional scar tissue about

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: how plow guys do my drive. Can you elaborate? No?

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Not allow. You can't talk to my wife. My wife.

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: My wife's gonna listen to the show. And I am

36
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: just not. I cannot interact with nor address any any

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: issues with my drive being plowed. We're punches thrown. Let's

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: start with that. No where insults exchanged. No, I no,

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: it happened early. I'm not allowed to do it. And

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: so I wait, I acknowledge them, my wave at them

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: to be nice, and then I just go on my way.

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Was there a dispute about payment, No, none of that.

43

Speaker 1: Was there a dispute about if they take my money,

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: they should do it the way I want it done. Oh,

88
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: want to ask you about Thanksgiving those Steve, are you

89
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends? I think, and I've heard

90
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people my age, A lot of men

91
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: my age, consider Thanksgiving as their number one holiday. They

92
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: love Thanksgiving more than the others. I would put myself

93
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: in that category as well. If you ask me to

94
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: which holidays are your favorites, I'd put Thanksgiving right at

95
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: the top of the list. What about you? It's close.

96
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I like Thanksgiving a lot

97
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: is because it's less work than Christmas. Yeah. For me,

98
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm not a guy who goes in

99
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: and likes to cook. I got some buddies who you know,

100
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: they do the cooking. You know, they love doing that.

101
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of their thing. And a lot of people,

102
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: a lot of guys do that. I don't, and Thanksgiving

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: for me is kind of less work that way, so

104
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: I kind of like it. Plus it's family time. And

105
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: then you got like that long weekend. Usually I'm working

106
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: these days, but you know, you get that long week

107
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: end where you can kind of just kick back, get

108
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, three football games on that day and you

109
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: kind of have the excuse of just putting your feet up,

110
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: and which is what most guys want to do with

111
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: the three times no pressure. This is why I love

112
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: thanks again. I like Christmas too, but I like Thanksgiving better.

113
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: There's very little pressure right up. You know. I'll help

114
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: out cooking a little bit too, a little bit, not

115
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: too much. But all you have to do is talk

116
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: and eat and relate and have fun and relax. Christmas

117
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: gets a little bit crazy right now. Christmas has got

118
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: a little added and you know of effort by I mean,

119
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: and I'd watch a ton of football tape, a lot

120
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: of games, watch bills opponents, watch the Bills over and

121
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: over again. Um. And this year it really struck me

122
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: when they started running the Christmas commercials before Halloween. This year.

123
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: I was it was early, right, it was really early,

124
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: and it ruins it. By the time we get to

125
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we're still what a month away or more

126
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: from Christmas in about two weeks. I'm going to be

127
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: sick of Christmas commercials, Christmas commercialism, Christmas talk. That's why

128
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: I like Thanksgiving better. Yeah, we've we've actually had to

129
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: instill rules in the house. There's no Christmas music. All.

130
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: We can do it after Thanksgiving, but not not before.

131
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, no Christmas music, no Christmas programs on TV.

132
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: And the commercials are unbelievable. Yeah, I mean, you know me,

133
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: you can imagine me. And what I noticed when I

134
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: watched TV. Even the automat the dealership, all the national

135
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: dealerships are already got all their Christmas stuff. That's all

136
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm seeing. Yeah, that's crazy talk. All right, So you're

137
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: a you can help us with this because you are

Speaker 1: really does that, right, Come on, man, you can't listen

143
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: if you're well enough off to slide that number through

144
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: the check book without your spouse knowing about it, You

145
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: got you got it going on, Like if it's a

Speaker 1: you got it going on right there. Talking about the expense.

154
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Why would you put a bow or a wrapping on

155
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: a on a vehicle vehicle? Why would you do that? Um,

156
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: you gotta take it off you. I mean, it doesn't

157
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: it serves no purpose. It doesn't really decorate it with

158
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of surprised. That's kind of cool. Why I

159
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: can get that part of it? I don't. That's like

160
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: gift wrapping it. You know, you don't want to get

161
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: to him unwrapped. Do people really do that? You ever

162
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: do that? Obviously they do. I don't know. I think

163
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: that's a thing. I think it's a thing. I think

164
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: it's a thing if I did that for one of

165
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: my kids, even if I bought him, you know, like

166
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: in the two thousand and eight. If I bought him

167
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: in a two thousand and four rabbit, I would put

168
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: a bow. That would be funny. I do it. It

169
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: would be funny, right, they and my kids would get

170
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: it too, So yeah, I would do that. I remember bow.

171
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where you get one of

172
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: those though, right? Where do you get on? How do

173
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: you attach them? That's an objecutity, you know what that's

174
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: they probably have. That's probably in the parts department. Yeah,

175
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: they attitude. They probably did we need a part for

176
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: we need part forty seven dash thirty two. They're in

177
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: the back. Oh you need a bow? Eh, That's that's

178
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: what it'd be. Want to talk a little bit about

179
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and kind of a basic Twitter question we got

180
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: actually because it's our last year. Over the week, we

181
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: doubled up on the Twitter poll Twitter questions today. One

00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: to be thankful for or happy about. But if you

188
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: think about it, there are some things. I think we

189
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: all this time of year get to the point where

190
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,400

191
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: thankful for? I know, right at the top of my list,

192
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm thankful to Bills have a have a viable potential

193
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: and I still put potential there, potential franchise quarterback. You know,

194
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: they maneuver their way up the draft. They got the

195
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: guy that they like a lot, They've got them some

196
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: playing time. I'm gonna get more playing time and the

197
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: remaining six weeks of the season. That's at the top

198
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: of my thankfulness. I'm thankful that Josh Allen is here.

199
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: It's at a decent start, got a long way to go,

200
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: and I'm thankful for Josh Allen being on this roster

201
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: and the team being committed to developing Josh Allen. That's

202
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: what I'm most thankful for as a Bills fan. What

203
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: about you, Steve, I think I'm I'm thankful that the

204
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: defense is playing as well as it is. There's a

205
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: couple of things. The defense that they're playing as well

206
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: as they are. There their elite in the NFL these days,

207
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: which is hard to well, which is hard to do

208
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: when the league is passed happy like it is. But

209
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for the defense, and I'm also thankful that

210
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: the front office, coaching staff, whoever is making the decisions,

211
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: they are churning the offensive side of the ball, trying

212
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: to get better. They're trying everything they can possibly do,

213
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: and it shows on their roster, who's who's suited up

214
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: for these games, who they're using in the game plans,

215
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: how they're just you know, they're putting their offense out

216
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: there with when no matter who's playing. I mean, we've

217
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: had four quarterbacks this season. All the things that they've

218
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: done to show that they're not just gonna wait. You know,

219
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: they're they're trying to win now. And I know they're

220
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: limited in what they can do and what they cannot

221
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: do because of you know, there's just there's not much

222
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: out there on the free agent market at this time

223
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: of year. But I'm thankful that I'm you know, this

224
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: team is not standing Patton ready to go. You know what,

225
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna throw this the rest of this

226
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: season into the fireplace, and we're gonna wait until free agency.

227
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad they're really making an obvious effort to

228
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: win these games, and I think it's that's kind of cool.

229
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm thankful. I like that. Let us know what you think.

230
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: Eight oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight

Speaker 1: year in twenty eighteen? I believe we had a couple

237
00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: of responses already on Twitter, and as usual, snark reigned

238
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: supreme on Twitter. Buffalo Ceiling says what he's most thankful about. Thankful,

239
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: there's only six games left. Somebody hold a gun to

240
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: that guy's had him. Make him watch the Bills or

241
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: you can check out any time, but you can never leave. Seriously,

242
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: if you don't have to watch, if it's a painful

243
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: and you're yeah, I mean that's the thing. I mean,

244
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: I don't yeah. If yeah, if you're not a fan,

245
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: don't watch, I'll watch. Yeah, I get it. Let us

246
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: know what you think. Hey, news today the Bills on

247
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: the practice field right now. They're indoors today, They're off tomorrow.

248
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: They're back on Friday to continue the practice week. Shack

249
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: Lawson not going to practice today. Tweaked his elbow late

250
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: in practice yesterday. Gonna get today off. Charles Clay is

251
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: not practicing today as he continues to struggle with a

252
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Sean McDermott talked to the media about forty

253
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: five minutes or so before practice today and he provided

254
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: an update on Josh Allen's practice week as he gets

255
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: back on the lineup. Here's what head coach Sean McDermott

256
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: had to say about Josh Allen's week. Yeah, he looks

257
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: like he's on schedule based off of coming off injury. Um,

258
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, I like his command of the huddle. You

259
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: can tell he's taking notice of what Derek has done

260
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: and to some extent Mad as well in a short

261
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: in a short amount of time and has grown in

262
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: those areas. And and um, I thought he had thought

263
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: he had good practice yesterday. So pretty good reports on

264
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I think they're gonna, you know, kind of

265
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: take it through the week. There's a tweet about this

266
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: which is interesting too. Um. Kathy O'Connor tweets and coach

267
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: still being coy about who will start at quarterback, keeping

268
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: the Jags wondering who they need to prepare for, like

269
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: any teams prepare for our qbs. I think that's how

270
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: do you pronounce p F F T. That's good. I

271
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: don't think that's why McCoy. I think McDermott is just

272
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: waiting until he's certain that Josh Allen is ready to go. Um.

273
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: I guess that's being ki. I don't think there's any

274
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: secret it's gonna be Josh Allen, right. I don't think

275
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: he's trying to see how he's already said listen. If

276
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: he's ready, he's playing right, and he's practicing, So I think, well,

277
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, i'd be surprised if he's not if

278
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: he's not doing if he's not there, I would be surprised.

279
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm acting like he's gonna play. He's gonna play.

280
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: Something happens, right, I don't think anything's gonna happen. McDermott

281
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: also talked today about the Jaguars. This got my attention.

282
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: Steve Sean McDermot says the Jacksonville Jaguars are one of

283
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: the most talented, maybe the most talented teams in the NFL.

284
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: They got the same record as the Bills, three win,

285
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: seven losses, they've lost six in a row, and yet

286
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: you can hear it yourself. John McDermott said this morning

287
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: he thinks the Jaguars are a really, really talented team,

288
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: and he compared them to the playoff team they had

289
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah. I mean, you know, every season presents

290
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: different challenges. Um. You know, I think to me, on paper,

291
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: they're the most talented team in the NFL, arguably the

292
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: most talented team, and we've we've a lot of respect

293
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: for that talent and they do a great job so um,

294
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, things having all on their way, um um,

295
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: but you saw what they're capable of again last week

296
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: against a very good Pittsburgh Steelers team, and and uh,

297
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be a big challenge for us, um

298
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: and our young football team. Not often you hear a coach,

299
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: even Belichick referred to a three and seven team is

300
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: the most talented, one of the most talented teams in

301
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: the league. I think McDermott believes it. There is talent

302
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: there by the way, Yeah, but I don't know one

303
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: of the talented team in the NFL. It's a little bit. Yeah,

304
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: it's a little bit coach speak. I'm sure. I mean

305
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: he you're always trying to say, hey, you know, give

306
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: him all the respect they're due. Um. I don't know.

307
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: It's so hard to say that when they're when they um,

308
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, they're three and seven. It's like the Buffalo Bills. Um,

309
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: you would think that a team is if they were

310
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: that talented, that talent would be would show up. Um.

311
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: Who knows. Maybe it's a backhanded slap at Doug Marone.

312
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't think he would, but

313
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I think he's He meant it as a compliment, and

314
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: I think he he knows that they are a good

315
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: football team. This is a team made the AFC Championship

316
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: last year and they felt like probably they got a

317
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: little better this year, but it hasn't worked out that way.

318
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: For Sunday's game, the referee is Walt Coleman. I just

319
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: had him in Baltimore. Yeah, not one of the best.

320
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't think, Well, what do you mean, I don't

321
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: think he's very good. You have an opinion about all

322
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: the officials that come the guys who've been around for

323
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: a while. What do you know, Especially the guys who've

324
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: been around for a while have made enough mistakes to

325
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: make you hate him. I don't hate Walt Coleman, but

326
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to kind of a convoluted explanation of

327
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: some calls and probably some miscalls actually with Paul Coleman,

328
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's very good. I'm sorry I

329
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: have an opinion about that, but I think he's one

330
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: of my least favorite officials. I don't think he's very competent,

331
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: and I'm worried about that. I get it. The weather

332
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned earlier gonna forecast to be forty seven degrees,

333
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: mostly cloudy skies, and should be a decent day on

334
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: Sunday with the temperature a high of forty seven. The

335
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: temperature will be in the mid forties for the bills

336
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: in the Jacksonville Wars. Don't you have any official officials

337
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: favorites or least favorites. Oh, my guy's retired Stator and

338
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: Pocula and all those guys, you know, Mike Carry, Mike Pereira.

339
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, you're right. I like Walk Coleman. I

340
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: like Walk Coleman. You know Cleet Blakeman. I think the

341
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: guy did the Monday night game, I think is my favorite. Yeah,

342
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: although although there were issues Monday, Yeah, but whatever, but yeah,

343
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: I I I him, Hey, what do you think? What

344
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: are you thankful for? As the Bills fan? Give us

345
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: a call eight oh three five fifty toll free one

346
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Take a

347
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: call here, Paul and Ecker and Paul, go ahead, you're

348
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: on the air with us. Hey, I'm just thankful the

349
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: Doug Marone left and he's no longer with us because

350
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: watching that game in Pittsburgh, I mean, the Jacksonville fans

351
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: have to be, like I rate when he did that here.

352
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: That was so aggravating. I think, like all of you

353
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: guys would talk on the radio about, you know, even

354
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: on third down, just chuck it down the field. I mean,

355
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: anything could happen. Yeah, they'll intercept it, but it's like

356
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: a punt or or you know, it's it's just crazy

357
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: to run the ball three times. At the end of

358
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: the game, all they needed was one first down and

359
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: they would have won that game. Yeah, and I'm just

360
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: thankful that he's not here because that would have driven

361
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: me crazy like it did when he was here. I'll

362
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: just help, all right, I hear you, Paul. I do

363
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: think this. And it's not as if Maron I mean,

364
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: he is conservative, too conservative. He has absolutely no faith

365
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: in his quarterback making a play that's pretty obvious even

366
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: and maybe he's justified when you look at Blake Portles

367
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: in the way he's played. Moronez no faith that Blake

368
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: Bortles can pick up a third and five in the

369
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Well, that's that's an issue, and I I

370
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: get it. The one thing that they do is a

371
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: little bit like you think about that game they played

372
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: last year, the Jaguars and the Bills. If you don't

373
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: turn it over, you're gonna be in a close game.

374
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: You feel like with your defense, the playing the way

375
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: it was, both those teams had that philosophy. It ended

376
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: up being a ten three game. Not that fun, far

377
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: from that Monday night game we just witnessed in Los Angeles.

378
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: But against the Steelers, if you, yeah, if your quarterback,

379
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: if you don't have any faith that your quarterback is

380
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: going to pick up a third and five one, what

381
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: are you doing? You know what I mean? That's gotta

382
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: be your That's that's the that's NFL football. I mean,

383
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: that's football. You're gonna be in third down a ton,

384
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: and you gotta be ready to pick that up. And

385
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: you got to treat. And the problem is, and you

386
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: saw this last year in Philadelphia with Doug Peterson. They

387
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: stayed aggressive throughout every game and it was in crucial

388
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: element to their success because they were in certain games

389
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: where they got in teams, particularly when you get in

390
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you're getting to get teams that got a

391
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: big engine. And when they when they put the pedal

392
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: to the medal, when they put their foot on the gas,

393
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: they can score points. Particularly when they start taking chances,

394
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to keep a lid on them. And

395
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson and the Eagles won a World championship last

396
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 1: year keeping the foot on the pedal. And you get

397
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: these teams like Jacksonville last week, and I get they

398
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: don't have you know, they don't have Carson Wentz or

399
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: anybody else like that playing quarterback down there. But the

400
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: NFL is you've gotten to play the way the game

401
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: dictates you play. You can't play with the electricity off,

402
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you got you gotta keep it juiced.

403
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: You gotta give your guys a chance. You gotta because

404
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: your players, you're in the huddle, you're in the third

405
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: and five, and you call an off tackle run. The

406
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: players are looking at each other like we're not playing?

407
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: What do you like? What about the all receivers are

408
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: coming out of the link like coming out of the

409
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: huddle like going, bro, give me a chance. You know

410
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: the quarterback too. I mean it it's a message loud

411
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: and clear that you've turned you've you've turned it off.

412
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: And I you know that's what They gave up a

413
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: sixteen point lead in a quarter last week and uh,

414
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, they lost them a game and they're taking

415
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: some heat for it, and rightfully so, I mean we've

416
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: been through that a ton here in Buffalo, right well. Yeah.

417
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,239
Speaker 1: One of the things I think about when I think

418
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: about these games as they approached EVE is I wonder,

419
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, you think about what your opponent's mindset going

420
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: to be. And I've learned I guess over the year

421
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: is not to count on a team being down or saying, well,

422
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: they're not going to be ready for this game because

423
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: this happened or that happened. I will say this this week,

424
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: this game, that thought occurred to me again, and it's

425
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: because of the way they lost at Pittsburgh or lost

426
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh last Sunday. You know, you wonder what their

427
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: mindset is. Are they ready to keep playing? Are they

428
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: convinced that this as you said that, you know, the

429
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: offensive tackles and wide receivers coming off the field, say

430
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Does that linger? Does that carry over?

431
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: And most importantly does it have an impact on the

432
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: way they played this Sunday. I've learned over the years

433
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: not to count on that, not to rely on that,

434
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: But this game, because of last game for Jacksonville, this

435
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: game has me thinking along those lines a little bit. Well,

436
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: there's certainly a lot out there to bait them into

437
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: thinking like that. Yeah, I mean they got there. Now

438
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: they're three and after being in the AFC Championship Game

439
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: a year ago and a game away from the Super Bowl.

440
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: Now they're three and seven and lost and blew a

441
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: lead to the team they beat to go to the

442
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game last year. Their offense can't get out

443
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: of its own way. Their defense isn't as although it's

444
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: a like fourth overall defense in the league's not turning

445
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: the turnovers like it did there's no buzz regarding your

446
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: team and your coaching staff, and are getting hammered because

447
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: you blew that lead last week. You're out of the

448
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: playoff picture. I mean, everything changes down there. Plus you're

449
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: playing a rookie quarterback who's just getting back into the lineup.

450
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: You think, okay, well you know what, all right, we're

451
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: gonna get this one and you know we can roll

452
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: it out there and kind of win. There's a lot

453
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: of reasons why you would think Jacksonville will be less

454
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: than sharp. Don't believe it, You can't count don't believe it. Yeah,

455
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna come in here and they're gonna

456
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: want to they're gonna want to grind out a win,

457
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: and they're gonna want to make a statement and they

458
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: and they may well be able to Well we'll see,

459
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, don't you can't count it. You're right, Murph.

460
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: I've when I played, we fell into that trap once

461
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: or twice where you think, okay, these guys don't want

462
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: to play and they came out hit us in the mouth,

463
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: you know so. And I was thinking about this, think

464
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: of how Bills fans and the Bills players themselves felt

465
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: when they had lost four in a row going into

466
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: the Jets game. How sick you are of losing, How

467
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: you can't envision standing in again. Now add two more

468
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: games out to that they've done at six in a row,

469
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: six straight weeks, six straight games for Jacksonville. Think how

470
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: badly they feel like they need to win. And probably

471
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: they probably feel because they got people tell them they're

472
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: pretty talided, probably feel like they deserve to win, that

473
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: they should win, right, even though they come in there

474
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: with a six game losing, Well, they'll come out. They're

475
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: gonna come in angry. You know. That's more likely to me.

476
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna come in fired up and angry about getting

477
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: back on the winning track. They're not a six loss team,

478
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: a six loss in a row team. I mean, they

479
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: got to feel like, you know, everything's conspired against them,

480
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, I would. I would say it's more likely

481
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: not that they don't come in sharp, but they come

482
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: in just the opposite, fired up. That's what you got

483
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: to prepare for and you better better be ready to

484
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: handle it. We'll talk more about this game and some

485
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: of the issue using this game, but I want to

486
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: get a sense from you about Thanksgiving and what are

487

491
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: that we've had a professional football team here in Buffalo.

492
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: I always look forward to each and every season. Well,

493
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: there's a magnanimous thought. I mean, that's like kind of

494
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: a big picture. Yes, I'm glad we have a football team.

495
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: That's interesting, that's that's going. Yeah, you know what, it's

496
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: been a while now since we've had somebody say that

497
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: or think about that, because you know, it's been it's

498
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: so far out of the realm possible. At least it's

499
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: out of the realm possibility. Now you forget that's true.

500
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: You help me with this tweet Steven on the tweet

501
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: sheet from Never More Sports, I'm thankful there are no

502
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: school drop off zones today here in Arizona. It usually

503
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: takes two and sometimes three one Bills drive segments just

504
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: to get through one. What do they mean? Well, I

505
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: think that here's what it is. Tell me, please help me. Well,

506
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm guess that means they're stuck in

507
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: the car and listening to the show. Right, they're stuck

508
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: behind the school bus or something dropping kids off, and

509
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: they can't get through traffic or something down there in Arizona. Obviously,

510
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: obviously that's not a weather issue right right in Arizona,

511
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: all right, and it takes them a couple of segments

512
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: to get through dropping their kids. I think, here's a

513
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: call from Bob and Lockboard listening to us in Arizona.

514
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: That's crazy, that is Yeah, they're listening to us in Lockboard.

515
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: Bob and Lockboard is on the air with this high Bob,

516
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, John, Steve. Let me start by saying happy

517
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: thanks Steven, same, thank you. And what I'm saying forward

518
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: to say, finally got the right coach and general manager.

519
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: I think that these guys can identified Alan. They're bringing

520
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: up people with character. I'm looking forward at them and

521
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: not path to just sees it off. But next you're

522
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: they're going to have ten rap choices and a ton

523
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: of money, and I expect the ten the bigs extremely good. Yeah, yeah,

524
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, there's plenty to be excited about

525
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: for the future. But I think, you know, don't forget

526
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: and Murph and I see this all the time. This

527
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: is a building that we do the broadcast from that

528
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: is full of people who want to win this week.

529
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: They want to win this game. They're focused on this game,

530
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: and they want to win this you know, get it

531
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: going this week. They want to help Job certainly they

532
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: want Josh Allen to play well, but they're putting all

533
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: their eggs into this basket for this week. And that's

534
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: and that's the way it should be. The guys up above,

535
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, Brandon Bean, and Brandon Bean's gonna I

536
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: think he's gonna come on with us today at two o'clock. Uh,

537
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: he's got to have the big picture in mind and

538
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: talk about the things that you did, Bob about you know,

539
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: the cap space next year, evaluating the ten draft picks

540
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: that we're gonna guide the guys we're gonna get work

541
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: in the cap, that the cap money they do have

542
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: to get free agents in here. That'll fill the holes

543
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: that we think we can get outside of the draft

544
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 1: and then fill in the spaces all of that big

545
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: picture stuff. It seems like Brandon Bean's on top of

546
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: but everybody other than you know, than those guys, I

547
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: mean from Sean McDermot all the way down. They're's focused

548
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: on this week, and I think it's a great balance

549
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: that the teams has learned to strike under McDermott and Bean.

550
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: One more call before we get to the break. We'll

551
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: go to Greg in his car. Hello, Greg, Welcome to

552
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: the show. You're on the air. Hi, guys, thanks for

553
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: taking my phone call. Sure, every thanksgiving seem to you. Greg.

554
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm thankful for. We have one

555
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: of the thirty two football teams that are up there.

556
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about them moving to Toronto

557
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: or wherever where they were going to go. I'm thankful

558
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: for the Pagoulas. Yeah. And if you would allow me

559
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: just to touch yesterday. I tried to call on yesterday's topic.

560
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: You know, you talked about the the quarterbacks and the

561
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: receivers and so on and so forth. If things were

562
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: played in the old day, the old ways. Do you

563
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: think your quarterbacks would have this success if they were

564
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: allowed to play defense way they did, like when I

565
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: believe it was Marty Lions came in and drill Jim

566
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: Cally and given them the business down there. Yeah. Well

567
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: it's changed, obviously, right Steve. The way the game is

568
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: officiated the way the rules are set up. And did

569
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: you who was talking about this the other day saying that, Um,

570
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: you were. You were saying the other guy I talked

571
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: to about football most of the time. You were saying

572
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: that the guy. The changes in the way the game

573
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: is officiated has led to more quarterbacks meaning successful. You

574
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: think that'll be a trend right moving forward, the more

575
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: guys will come into the league and put up big

576
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: numbers to the caller games. To Greg's point, it's it's

577
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: easier to play quarterback in the NFL when they can't

578
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: take your head off in the pocket, when they can't

579
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: hit you below the knees, when nobody can touch your

580
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: receivers when they're running around on the secondary, um, you know,

581
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: and they can't grab them, they can't hold them. It's

582
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: easier to play because it's easier for guys to play

583
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: well in the secondary on your offense. I mean, it's

584
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: easier for your receivers to get open. It's easier for

585
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: all of that to happen, and you feel more safe

586
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: and protected when you can stand back there and make

587
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: those throws. So it's gonna be easier. It's gonna be

588
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: easier and More importantly, it's gonna be better because the

589
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: quarterbacks will actually stay on the field. You won't have

590
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: guys coming off the field, you know, hurt. You'll be

591
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: able to keep stars and good players on the field,

592
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: and I think you'll have more of those guys because

593
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: it'll be easier for those guys to do it. We've

594
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: seen a trend in the NFL over the past eighteen

595
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: months where you get a guy like Jared Goff who

596
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: for one coaching staff couldn't play a lick and then

597
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: becomes an MVP candidate. That's the difference. When you get

598
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: turned the corner into where the quarterbacks position is being

599
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: played these days, you can get these guys up to

600
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: speed and you can get them acclimated a little faster rate,

601
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: certainly if even then the best guys are out there,

602
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: like Ared Goff and Patrick Mahomes. It took him a year,

603
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: took him a season, but once and Carson Wentz same thing.

604
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: Once they get around that, they turned pretty good pretty fast.

605
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: And that's I think that's that's what you're looking at.

606
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with the caller, Greg. I think it

607
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: is going to be easier to play quarterback in the

608
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: NFL because of all the rule changes. Hey, what do

609
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: you thinkful for as the Bills fan? And what are

610
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: you looking forward to in this Sunday's matchup the Bills

611
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: in the Jaguars. Those discussion topics on the table. We'll

612
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 1: talk about both when we come back. We're also going

613
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,960

622
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: got two topics on the table today. One of them

623
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: as a Bills fan, what are you thankful for this

624
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: year at Thanksgiving? The second one the Bills Jaguars matchup.

625
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: What do you think? What are the intriguing plotlines of

626
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: this game? We'll talk about those in a moment, but

627
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: right now we're going to send it out to our man,

628
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills inside a Buffalo Bills dot Com. He's

629
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: outside in the ad Pro Sports. He's inside in the

630
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: AD Pro Sports training Center where practice is underway the

631
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: early portion of practice. Good afternoon, Chris. Happy thanks coming

632
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: to you from us in here. Yes, Happy Turkey Day

633
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: to you guys. The Bills work today on this Wednesday

634
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: with tomorrow off, and so I've got a couple of

635
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: injury issues to ask you about based on what coach

636
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: McDermott said, where are they with the Trent Murphy. You know,

637
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: they haven't had an official practice participation report yet this

638
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: week right, So as Trent Murphy working as he limited,

639
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: what do we know about him? Yeah, he practiced on

640
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: Tuesday on a littimate basis and then he's out here

641
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: again today. And I asked coach about his availability because

642
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson is not practicing today after suffering an elbow

643
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: injury late in practice, you know, in the session on Tuesday,

644
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: and not doing anything today. So with him up in

645
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: the air for this weekend's game, to a certain extent,

646
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to see how optimistic coach was about Murphy

647
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: rejoining the lineup, having missed the last three games with

648
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: a knee injury, and right now he is practicing, participating.

649
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: We'll find out later today whether it's on a limited

650
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: basis or mass. But you know, knowing he's stacking days,

651
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: I would say that's probably a positive sign. Yeah. Plus

652
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: a whole month is an eternity during the football season,

653
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean, and unless that the injury, the knee injury

654
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: was exactly what he suffered that kept him out of

655
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen season altogether, I would think Murphy would

656
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: be pretty much as healthy as he's gonna get. Well.

657
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, and you know no offense Seve

658
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: if you aren't either, but he's got that knee wrapped

659
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: up all so right now with tape. There's a heavy

660
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: tape job on that knee. Whether it gets all the

661
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: way back to being good or not remains to be seen.

662
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: I thought he was moving around okay through the individual

663
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: position drills. You always wonder like, how far is he

664
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: dialing it up here in the practice setting? Is he

665
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: saving the knee for Sunday in the hopes of being

666
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: active and playing, you know, so it's hard to kind

667
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: of read a guy's body language and knowing that we

668
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: don't really get the opportunity to watch team segments of

669
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: practice when they will be going harder, it's kind of

670
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: hard to assist exactly where he's at. We'll try to

671
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: see if we can get any talk to him today.

672
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: Are you okay with Brownie calling you out for that

673
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: being a doctor, I'm positively okay. It's a great observation

674
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: by him. But Brownie talk about the I want to

675
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: talk about the wide receivers. I mean we talked about

676
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: him a little bit yesterday. There's seven or eight him

677
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, is there any change or subtle

678
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: differences that you notice about who's taking reps, why they're

679
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: taking reps? Because the big emphasis against the Jets was

680
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: to get more speed on the field, and obviously was

681
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: They were wildly successful. I mean, forty one points is

682
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: forty one points. Yeah, And I think the one thing

683
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: that we saw in the Jets game were a couple

684
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: of personnel groupings that we haven't seen pretty much the

685
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: entire season. It was very clear the coach table wanted

686
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: to throw some new looks at the Jets defense that

687
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: he had not shown on film previously this season. One

688
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: of them was No no backs on the field. I

689
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: mean he had like ten personnel out there, you know,

690
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: or whatever you'd call it. That would be O one

691
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: personnel I guess, one tight end, four wideouts in the formation.

692
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: He had that a handful of times in the Jets

693
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: game with no McCoy on the field, no Chris Ivory

694
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: on the field, no back on the field. So that

695
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: was a new look that he presented, and I think

696
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: it was an effort to get more receivers on the

697
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: field and kind of flood the field with receiving targets

698
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: and really kind of put the onus on the Jets

699
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: to find the matchups. And you know, they were in

700
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: Nickel or whether they got caught in Bass, which is

701
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: highly unlikely, but even in Nickel they had trouble because

702
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: some of their safeties could not match up with the

703
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: speed that the Bills put on the field at the

704
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: receiver position. So it's gonna be interesting to see what

705
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: the approach is against the Jags defense that usually does

706
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: have answers in terms of matchups, knowing the run their

707
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: linebackers run as well as they do Chris. Some of

708
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: that speed is represented by Isaiah McKenzie, who was just

709
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: signed to the roster a couple of weeks ago, McKenzie

710
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: didn't get a ton of offensive snaps against the Jets.

711
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking it up now, seven offensive snaps. What's the

712
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: chance they increase that workload for Isaia McKenzie this weekend

713
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: into the final six weeks here. I think it's a

714
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: realistic chance that you will see more of him this week.

715
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: I think when they looked at the fact that he

716
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: stepped on the field for fifteen total plays and between

717
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: kick return, punt return and running a few Jets sweeps,

718
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: he accounted for one hundred and twenty one total yards,

719
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: I think they said, we gotta get this guy on

720
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: the field more so, I dissipated he is going to

721
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: have a larger role this week. It's interesting because over

722
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: the last three or four weeks, someone who has seen

723
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: his playing time go down is Kelvin Benjamin, and I

724
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: think there's a chance he could be a victim again

725
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: this week to see his playing time decrease even further,

726
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: because it's very clear to me what they're looking to

727
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: add and put on the field is more speed and

728
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: maybe with the exception of the red zone, Kelvin Benjamin

729
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: isn't giving you the mismatch advantage that you hope he

730
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: would deliver on. Being a six foot five receiver with

731
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: arms that go for days. It has not surfaced in

732
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: the passing game nearly enough this season, and he could be,

733
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, the odd man out knowing they want to

734
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: give more time on the field to some of these younger,

735
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: speedier wide receivers. Yeah, and just to illustrate, Benjamin went

736
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: from sixty seven offensive snaps against the Bears to thirty

737
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: seven against the Jets. Yeah. One of the other guys

738
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about in the receiver corps

739
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: Giontay Thompson. Obviously, he's familiar with a lot of the

740
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room, the coaching staff. Although they're

741
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: running a new system than they did last year, he

742
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: should be in football shape after spending the first two

743
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: months of the season in Dallas playing. That seems to

744
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: me like a guy that really could get plugged in

745
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, right. I mean, when we think about the

746
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: fact that Isaiah Mackenzie had a role to play in

747
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: the Jets game and he only got claimed off waivers

748
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: that Tuesday, I mean, he only had three days run

749
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: up in terms of prep to get ready for that game. Obviously,

750
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: he took a game plan approach, you know, master this

751
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: game plan and this package of plays we have for

752
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: you just learned that for this week, and seeing that

753
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: he had a role, I think the chances are very

754
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: good that Deonte Thompson's on the field. A matter of fact,

755
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: I talked to him yesterday after practice and I said

756
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: to him, I said, how much is that bye week

757
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: that you had last week helping you in terms of

758
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: getting you on the field. And he said, oh, I'm

759
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: gonna be ready. He said, I've put in a lot

760
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: of extra time, a lot of extra hours. I'll be

761
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: set to go on Sunday. So it really is going

762
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 1: to come down to, obviously a coaching decision and whether

763
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: they feel that he has as firm a grasp on

764
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: what the game plan is this weekend more so than

765
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: he you know how he feels with it well. With

766
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com, he's

767
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: reporting live from the ad Pro Sports Training Center where

768
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: the Bills are early in their practice session on this

769
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon. Hey, Chris tarn Johnson, Again, no injury reports

770
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: this week, but you mentioned it a couple of days

771
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: ago about Tarren Johnson had the non contact jersey on.

772
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: McDermott talked about him a little bit this morning. Still

773
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: working through the shoulder issues that he has. You know,

774
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: can you give us an update on his status and

775
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: whether or not he could be available on Sunday or

776
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: is that going to be an issue. I don't think

777
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: his availability for Sunday is in jeopardy here. I think

778
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is reduce the number of

779
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: hits on that troublesome shoulder that keeps getting popped out

780
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: and dislocated pretty much since Week one. He has played

781
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: with it throughout the season and in those instances where

782
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: fans may have noticed he goes off the field for

783
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: a couple of plays, it's basically so the coaching staff

784
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: can pop the shoulder back in. Knowing a physical of

785
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: position he plays, you know, he's got to be in there.

786
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 1: He's got to be there for run support. He's close

787
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: to the line, being in the slot. You got to

788
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: tip your hat to him and the toughness that he

789
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: has displayed this season, and coach McDermott mentioned that in

790
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: his press conference today. I think what they're trying to

791
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: do is reduce the wear and tear on that shoulder.

792
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: Knowing we're in the back half of the season here,

793
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: so he may we may see this the rest of

794
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: the way this season where he is non contact in

795
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so as to reduce the

796
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: number of hits on that shoulder going forward and almost

797
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: kind of save the shoulder for Sunday. Hey, on the

798
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: top of get tarn Johnpson. We meant to mention it

799
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: earlier this week, but he shows up again this week

800
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: in Pro Football Focus list of top graded rookie defensive backs.

801
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: I believe he was third in the NFL this year.

802
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: He really has had kind of an underrated, quiet, really

803
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: good rookie season, wouldn't you agree, Chris, He's having it's

804
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean, minus the interceptions, his coverage in terms of

805
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: passer rating against, completion percentage against, all of those numbers,

806
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: they're comparable to Trudavious White's rookie season. That's how good

807
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: those numbers are. So he is having a monster rookie season,

808
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: and yes, it has gone under the radar. One thing.

809
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the question, oh the week,

810
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, what is what's he looked like, what's his status,

811
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: what's the vibe around him? Obviously everybody thinks that despite

812
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: the hedging that Sean McDermott has done, Josh Allen's going

813
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: to be back in the lineup against maybe one of

814
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: the top defenses in the league. Yeah. I think it

815
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: would be more of a surprise if he did not

816
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: start the game on Sunday. I would say based on

817
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: everything we've seen here, the first team reps that he's

818
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: getting in practice, his willingness to go down the field

819
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: with passes in the team setting. I talked to Robert Foster,

820
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: who worked with him throughout his rehab week here last

821
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: week during the bye, and he said he was letting

822
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: it go then and he said nothing changed in practice

823
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 1: and after Monday's practice. You know, I said to Robert,

824
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: I said, as there, does it look like there's any

825
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: hesitation on his part to air it out. He said, no,

826
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: he's letting it fly. So I think there was a

827
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: mental hurdle that Josh still had to clear that week

828
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: of the Jets game, and I think that was part

829
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: of the reason why the coaching staff ultimately decided to

830
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: sit him down for one more game. Start. Matt Barkley.

831
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: Fortunately it all worked out. Barkley plays well, they win

832
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: the football game going away against the Jets, and that

833
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: affords Josh two more weeks to let that ligament heal

834
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: up even a little bit more. And I thought maybe

835
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: the most interesting comment we heard from him was on

836
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: Monday when he said it made a big difference, you know,

837
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: taking these extra two weeks to let it heal a

838
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit more. He said, I'm not worried anymore about

839
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: maybe on a deep ball it grabbing on me. And

840
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: I found that to be a very interesting comment. I mean,

841
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: he's wearing the sleeve for a reason, but when he

842
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: had to really rear back and throw it down the field,

843
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: there was a concern, even if it was just mental,

844
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: that maybe it would grab on him he would suffer

845
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: a setback strain the ligament. Again. I think these extra

846
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: two weeks have really put his mind at ease that

847
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: he can make every throw that he wants to make

848
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: when he sees an opportunity out there on the field.

849
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing everybody wants to know

850
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: how Josh feels about his own elbow when we all

851
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: have our opinions, and we had a big discussion leading

852
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: the lead up to the Jet game about whether he

853
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: should play, if he's ready or how ready does he

854
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: need to be to play, and everybody said, well, he

855
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: needs to be completely healthy because you don't want to

856
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: risk injury. And it's obvious that they didn't want to

857
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: take that chance. Even though he was making some good throws,

858
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't quite a hundred percent. And that's really the

859
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: key to me, Brownie, is how Josh feels about his

860
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: own elbow and what it says about going forward, how

861
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: likely it is to get reinjured. Right, Because I asked

862
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: them that very question during Jets Week. I said, have

863
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: you cleared the mental hurdle of not worrying about your elbow?

864
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: And he said, look, anytime it's anything on your throwing

865
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 1: arm and you're a quarterback, you're gonna be thinking about

866
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: it unless you know for sure everything sound and you're

867
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: good to go. So that was a clue to me

868
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: during that Jets week that you know, he maybe not

869
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: be quite one hundred percent yet and the chances of

870
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: him playing are probably reduced, And of course that proved

871
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: to be the case. And then now the way he's

872
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: talking here early in the week and we'll hear from

873
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: again after practice today. You just get the sense that

874
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: his mind is at ease now and that he can

875
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: play as he always has prior to the injury. Hey, Chris,

876
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: thank you for this. Have a great Thanksgiving for what

877
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: I know of your family history. There'll be a healthy

878
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: serving of Italian food with the the parties and everybody

879
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: when the family gets together this holiday. Right, first course

880
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: is always lasagna, whether it's Thanksgiving or Christmas. Lasagna course,

881
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, salad course, lasagna course, then the meal. So

882
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: what time shall we be there? I think it's three

883
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: thirty all right, see you, mane man, Thanks Brownie, Thanks

884

Speaker 1: christ Chris Brown Bills inside or Buffalo Bills dot com. Lasagna?

885
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: How about you after lasagna? I'm usually headed right for

886
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: the nap, right, I wouldn't even see the turkey if

887
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: I started with how much? How much? And we always

888
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: gotta make jokes, you know about the uncomfortable Thanksgiving Day

889
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: table when families and when you think about it. As

890
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: much as you love your family, every family's got that

891
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: little issues or whatever, you know, they got their little

892
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: weird if if the only, if the only issue that

893
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: the Brown family has is lasagna instead of whatever. That's fine.

894
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: They're healthier than most. Thanksgiving to the Browns. When we

913
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: they weren't real fresh. I didn't think you're critiquing the donuts.

914
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: The free donuts neither one of the two that I ate,

915
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: Whereas you know where they were good though, Oh my gosh,

916
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: I got involved with one of them, did you. Yeah, yeah,

917
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean, but free donuts, I mean it's

918
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: like free bacon and walk by and let's basically shut

919
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: your brain down for a second. You're gonna eat this

920
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: and think about, Yeah, here's Brandon and West Seneca. Brandon,

921
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: what are you thankful for as a Bills fan these days? Hey?

922
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: Hey John, Hey Steve. Uh you know, Steve, I missed

923
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: the mullet man. I wish I would come back, But

924
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: for this year, I'm pretty thankful that we got, you know,

925
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: a GM and a head coach at a lock step together.

926
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: You know, like it seems like a lot of places

927
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: you see like the head coach kind of you know,

928
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: starting the quarterback he wants just to keep his job,

929
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: and the GM sort of just you know, pulling out

930
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: free agents to make himself look good. It seems like

931
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: they're almost making the exact same moves that you know

932
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: the other one would want to make. So Um, I

933
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: guess I'm pretty stoked about that. Yeah, I agree with you.

934
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: That's a good one. That's a good one, Brandon, I

935
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. I I've we've been talking

936
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: about it, um me a lot about all moves they've made,

937
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: and we were talking about him just now with Brownie

938
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: at practice. I mean, you got Deontay Thompson out there,

939
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: you got Isaiah McKenzie out there, Robert Foster, even Raymondy

940
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: McLeod might might get a flash in this week. Zay

941
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: Jones has started to spread his wings a little bit,

942
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: and Kelvin Benjamin has started to get decreased snap counts

943
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: because his lack of production. So getting more speed on

944
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: the field and bringing extra guys in and more guys

945
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: in really says a lot about where their focus is.

946
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: They're focused on every week on the field, and Brandon's

947
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: given Sean McDermott some extra things, some things to try,

948
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: giving him some some new weapons to try, as well

949
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 1: as keeping his eye and his options open for the future.

950
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: So it's it's been fun to watch, and you're right,

951
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: I do think those guys are in lockstep about what

952
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,960

00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,439

Speaker 1: lights came back up, the team started to go off.

1095
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: There's a big time limit on these halftime things, so

1096
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: you can imagine, particularly for a primetime game. Yeah, we

1114
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: era semifinalists. Steve was in the group of what one

1115
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: hundred and something one hundred and two I think, Yeah,

1116
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 1: and that eliminated. I don't know they who speaks for you? Yeah,

1117
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't know who is the vote that's here? Is it?

1118
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: I think it used to be Mark. It's not Mark anymore,

1119
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: isn't Vic. Well we need to get what are you

1120
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: trying to present to the other writers? Well, they don't

1121
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 1: present anything. It's they don't know. They don't do anything.

1122
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: They this is all. They don't get together or anything like.

1123
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: There's no open debate once it gets to this beforehand, Well,

1124
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It gets to this stage, even this stage,

1125
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they debate. They start head gods, but

1126
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: they even hail each other, like but then when they

1127
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl, they knock it down to

1128
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: like what a fifteen Yeah, yeah. Then they get in

1129
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: the room and they openly talk and have an open conversation. Yeah, well,

1130
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: so long. It takes a long time to get there,

1131
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: a couple of stages to get there. All right, I've

1132
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: never been closed. No, you've been in the finalists, the

1133
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: week finalists. You have been in that final like three

1134
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: I've been in that that thing right there three times.

1135
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: Haven't you been in the next stage of that? I've

1136
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: never gotten to the next stage is when, In fact,

1137
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: couple of guys like even Vick has said, if you

1138
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,959
Speaker 1: get to that next stage, when you get into the room,

1139
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: at least you get to hear what the objections are, right,

1140
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, So then you know that's a good little

1141
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: group right there. It is. It's great. It always is

1142
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: goodness great. I know, you get you get on some

1143
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: of the names, you'd be like, oh my god, I

1144
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: forgot he played yes? And all right, oh yeah, all right.

1145
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: Here's how it works. The list of semifinalists was reduced

1146
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: from an original group one under three. You were in

1147
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: that that was announced in September. The next step in

1148
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 1: the selection process comes Thursday, January third, when the semi

1149
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: finalists are trimmed to fifteen modern era finalists. So that's

1150
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, right, They have a three uh,

1151
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: contributors and seniors. That gets to eighteen, and then they

1152
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: meet Saturday, February second, the day before the Super Bowl

1153
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, to name the Hall of famers. I think

1154
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 1: this is my last year of eligibility. Really, you're gonna

1155
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: be a senior then, right? Probably? Is that how it works?

1156
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: Is that? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I

1157
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: think this is my last year of eligibility. I think

1158
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,919
Speaker 1: it's twenty years after you retire, become a senior. Yeah,

1159
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't know of famer that you are.

1160
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: That list you just mentioned, it's a pretty impressive list.

1161
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: I have one name to ask you about, though. Oh

1162
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: let me see you mus see if I can guess it?

1163
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: Which one you don't? And I asked you, I would

1164
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: say Clay Matthews Really yeah, okay, does not belong? No, okay, No,

1165
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking something else. No, I was thinking like,

1166
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: if you had to pick one, who would it be

1167
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: on youth? No? No, I wouldn't okay, yeah no. Um.

1168
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: Ruben Brown used to rail about Tony BASSELLI how he

1169
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: didn't belong with consideration to this level. Here he is again.

1170
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: Do you guys have any thoughts on that. I mean Ruben,

1171
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how many he's been in a couple

1172
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: of years. In a couple he usually gets pretty deep

1173
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: into this process. Yeah, but you know what I think,

1174
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you started adding first year players like

1175
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: who's ed Rey probably going in? Yeah, um j Seymour

1176
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: was the first year guy, Hines Wards the first year

1177
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez camp Bailey. I mean you start when you

1178
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: started getting guys like that, it's going to knock you out.

1179
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: The Selly has been a semifinalist four times, four years,

1180
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: let's don't know, the making five don't know. I don't think.

1181
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going in. I don't think he

1182
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: played longer. No, I think he played eight years. But

1183
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: Selly he played ninety five through on one, so six

1184
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: year six seven years with Jackson. See, I didn't know that. Yeah,

1185
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: that's not. Yeah he's not up there like Anthony mun

1186
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: and he's not and it's not And he was good

1187
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: when he played, yeah he was. But he did like

1188
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: running there's a couple of running backs who did it

1189
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: like Terrell Davis did it, and so did uh Um

1190
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: Kael Sayers. They played in like you know less seven

1191
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: hundred games. Yeah, but you know those guys were at

1192
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: a different position that was changed. It changed everything. You

1193
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: know that they're holding the ball, making all the touchdowns,

1194
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: changing games. It's hard for a tackle. Yeah, especially if

1195
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: man playing that short time. That's not me. Um what's

1208
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: lot of You can always have these debates always and

1209
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: some of it has to do with whether you saw

1210
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: the guy very much or didn't. We saw Zach all

1211
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: the time, and sometimes you see him a lot. He'd

1212
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: take him for granted. You know, you don't you know,

1213
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: give him that elevator. Like, we didn't see Clay Matthews

1214
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: all that much, but he played for nineteen years and

1215
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: was really good. That one playoff game where I kicked

1216
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: his butt right where you caught like sixty except that

1217
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: last one. That's what I thought you were going to say.

1218
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: It would be nice to kill it last one said

1219
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: of him, Yeah, I know, yeah, you donkey jem through

1220

1225
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,959
Speaker 1: a couple of Sundays ago Bills win at the Jets

1226
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: where you shocked a couple of weeks ago. No, you

1227
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: saw that coming, So why don't you tell us? Yeah, well,

1228
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: because I wasn't here, I didn't get to tell you,

1229
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: and he gave you a week off and us right,

1230
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: exactly what do you think? Why do you think that

1231
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: out of it? Boy? They were they just out of

1232
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: it man. Just one of them games where you came

1233
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game You're like, yeah, but

1234
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: you didn't going in. Yeah, I'm not going in. But

1235
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk with Todd balls down there,

1236
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, and then that locker them or whatever, So

1237
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he could. I gotta tell you, I didn't

1238
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: think it was going to turn up. The thing that

1239
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: I thought about was last year when we went up there.

1240
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Was it when the Jets beat us pretty soundly up there?

1241
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Last year they were dancing and follow the field. That

1242
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: was last year. I was thinking about that. I was

1243
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: thinking about, don't let that happen. Yeah, don't let that

1244
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: happen again. And no, I mean the unknown was there.

1245
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Barkley was starting in the first place.

1246
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: Two plays and you got a touchdown, right so, and

1247
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: I think that just took the Jets right out of

1248
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: it right there from the beginning. It got so bad

1249
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: in that day. And we talked about it all. We

1250
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: haven't spoken too much, but Murph and I were talking

1251
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: about obviously we've been talking about ever since. But I

1252
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: didn't think Todd Bowles would survive that game. I didn't either.

1253
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean because with all due respect, the Bill's offense

1254
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: was epically bad up to that point, and they were

1255
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:51,439
Speaker 1: starting a guy that was on the street two weeks

1256
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: before you just had There was just no excuse for

1257
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: a team showing up like that. No, not at all,

1258
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: not at all. It was Yeah, that was his last game.

1259
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: I thought, I didn't. I thought I thought Sunday night

1260
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: because you know, like you know, like that's the Jets.

1261
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean they do that right, right, Yeah, they do.

1262
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: So would you think of Lashawn McCoy's kind of breakout game. Yeah,

1263
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: it was great. Yeah, he's part of it. I mean

1264
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: even though the Jets didn't didn't really come to play.

1265
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what you still having. This guy

1266
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: ain't no rund of the yards. I mean I agree

1267
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: that showed he's got something last night, and I think

1268
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: or even on the touchdown run, I mean the ran

1269
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: a guy to get to the end zone. Yeah. So

1270
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and I love the fact that

1271
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: whyte Teller got an opportunity to play. I washed him

1272
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: over the course of the game, and he was he

1273
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: was a terror. Yeah, yeah, he was going at it.

1274
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean he was faced up against Lennard william a

1275
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: couple of times, who was a pro bowler guy. Yeah,

1276
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: and just man handle him. He go one way where

1277
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: you did him and threw him on the ground and

1278
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: went right on the ground after him. I'm like that

1279
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: he like grit. Yeah, that's what guards are good for. Grit,

1280
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, a little little chip, little help because

1281
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: that you know, because they left. Tackles got to be

1282
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: this kind of freaking nature and your right tackles gotta

1283
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: be this big bad guy, and guards kind of you know,

1284
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: they gotta be athletic and do all this other stuff.

1285
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: But they can give you a little attitude inside absolute

1286
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: because they get they get a lot of free shots. Yeah,

1287
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: they get a lot of free shots. The guys, right,

1288
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: they're chipping and banging guys. I mean that John Davis

1289
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: for all his problems to very well yeah yeah, all right,

1290
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: Dermant Thomas Hall of Fame running back in studio with

1291
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: his thermu. What about looking forward to the bill season?

1292
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Six games left, starting with Jacksonville this Sunday? What what? Um?

1293
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: What are they playing for? What do you think they're

1294
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: going for here down the street? Well, I mean it

1295
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: And when you get to this point in the season,

1296
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you're out of the

1297
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: playoffs just yet, but I mean you're still planning for

1298
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: next year or two. Yeah, that's where it is. I mean,

1299
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: you get in these situations like in Cleveland or whatever,

1300
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: you're planning to be on this roster or for another team.

1301
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Because they were scouts out there here to watch all

1302
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: the type of film every single game, they might say, well,

1303
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: if the Bills let this guy go, we would like

1304
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: to have them. So there's a lot to be played

1305
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: for Citils in the season, especially for this game. I'm

1306
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: really excited about this game. Why oh man man, Jason Ramsey,

1307
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Jaden Ramsey, you know, call in Josh Allen trash. I mean,

1308
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if Josh gonna play, never made a

1309
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: decision yet, but announced. I mean, but look at that situation.

1310
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: You got old Saint Doug coming back. I mean, there's

1311
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on here, you know. And after

1312
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: they got beat last week, after Pittsburgh didn't do anything

1313
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: for the first three quarters, they lost that game. So yeah,

1314
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna come in here, they're mad, frustrated or whatever,

1315
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: and you got us coming off to buy and hopefully

1316
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: we can keep going what we had two weeks ago

1317
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: against the Jet. Yeah. I was thinking too. One of

1318
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: the things that players kind of play for now is

1319
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: you stopped thinking about playoffs and big picture. You think

1320
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: about winning this game. One game, Just win this game.

1321
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: And also, like you said too, it turns for the

1322
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: inside what is to me? And you you know this too,

1323
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the consummate team is the real true

1324
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: team sports football is because you know, you got to

1325
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: sacrifice physical comfort for the good of the team and

1326
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: for your teammates and all that. So it starts to

1327
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: get to this point where it is a little bit individual.

1328
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: You say, I gotta play I gotta play well because

1329
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna make some changes and I don't want to

1330
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: be part of the change or if I am, I'm

1331
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody else's part of their improvement. You know.

1332
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: So you start to really think, you know, I gotta

1333
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: I gotta elevate a little bit, and that could prepare

1334
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: this team. I know people are looking at the schedule

1335
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: and the record now being like, well they're finished the

1336
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: pick I guess eighth now in the draft or whatever. Yeah, yeah,

1337
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: you don't look at that. Fans play, fans in the

1338
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: people and whatever. They look at that stuff. Right, These

1339
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: players are looking at hey, look, I'm trying to win football.

1340
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: Looking at Jacksonville. I'm looking at Jacksonville right now, and

1341
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: that's this Sunday, and uh, you know this is a

1342
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: team that was what four or five minutes away from

1343
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, and now

1344
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: they're struggling right now, so you know they're gonna come

1345
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: in are upset, mad and everything. But we're at home.

1346
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: I think everybody should be happy. Now. Back in the day,

1347
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: I remember this too, and we heard this a little

1348
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: bit from Deontay Thompson yesterday, but whoever was here last year,

1349
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: they still remember getting sent home by these guys. Oh absolutely,

1350
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: because that was for all the good things that happened

1351
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: last year and all the fun it was getting into

1352
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They could have won that game, and these

1353
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: are the guys that beat them, and then that's there's

1354
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: still a little something something in there. Absolutely, and then

1355
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: guarantee you man. And that's why I've always said, Man,

1356
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:39,360

1358
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:45,880

Speaker 1: having fun doing They're having fun being together. They're playing,

1361
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:55,080

1362
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: other side. That's what the Sabers are doing. They're having fun.

Speaker 1: to practice, and that's what you have to have as

1365
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: an organization. I think Sean McDermott has done a great

1366
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: job of keeping these guys focused on the big picture.

1386
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I'll just give a little text here, Jim, Jim and

1387
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo is on the line with us. Jim, go ahead,

1388
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Thanks. I don't call him much,

1389
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: but when I see my two of my top five

1390
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 1: favorite bills of all time going back to Tom Sastack

1391
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: and he's on the list too, I just had to

1392
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 1: call in. I won't keep you along, but I remember

1393
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: a Thurmon. I think he led the league in yards

1394
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: from scrimmage four years in a row, if I'm not mistaken.

1395
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: But my favorite all the time Thurman game was the

1396
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland playoff loss. You played your heart out in that game,

1397
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: and you know somebody dropped the pass. You know you

1398
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: can't blame one guy. As far as Steve. What my

1399
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: argument as a lawyer for Steve great special teams player,

1400
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: maybe the greatest of all time, but he also played

1401
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: another position, and I thought he was awesome for a

1402
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: short period of time. Later on in his career he

1403
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 1: was a tremendous wide receiver. So absolutely, that's my legal

1404
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 1: argument for mister Tasker going in the Hall. Do you

1405
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: have any lawyers pleading your case for the Hall of Fame?

1406
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 1: Maybe you should, Jim just call him just pro bono.

1407
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: Do y'all recall? Good luck with that, Jim. Don you

1408
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: recall do they record this? Dude? Nobody cares crazy. I

1409
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 1: guarantee everybody in Buffalo care. That's important. Man, It's cool.

1410
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not appreciate the conversation, but you know,

1411
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm surprised that our ongoing

1412
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: tally of votes that come coming on the phone line

1413
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: for you hasn't had more of an impact on the

1414
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame voters. And oh that surprises you. I

1415
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: think we're up to seventy seven people. I believe that's

1416
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: the count. Seventy seven people have phoned in since you

1417
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: joined the show back in April and said, yes, I

1418
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: vote for Steve Tasker for the Hall of Fame. He

1419
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 1: just points out how do they ignore that? Let me

1420
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: just let me right, they're not ignored. They're not ignored.

1421
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: Let me just point something out to you. Let me

1422
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do this right here. It just as

1423
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: a so we've got uh oh, might not show you

1424
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,880

Speaker 1: six people tweeting about the most important thing in this game.

Speaker 1: We have seventy seven people over six months calling in.

1428
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: That'll tell you right now what my shot is. How

1429
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: people forgot about it. It was early in the season.

1430
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: That's my shot right there. That'll tell you all you

1431
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: need to know. I'm getting you in, buddy, there you go. Hey,

1432
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: did you watch Monday Night football? Did you watch the

1433
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the Rams this week? Man? After the Sabers

1434
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: came back and one, I went straight to sleep, really

1435
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: didn't watch, didn't watch a single play. Well, I woke

1436
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 1: up the I woke up the next morning with all

1437
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: the Texas I'm about Oh my god, Yeah, Aaron Donald

1438
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: should be MVP of the league instead of just defensive

1439
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 1: player in the year. So, yeah, I missed it. But

1440
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: you know what, I watched the Sabers. Warren Sap tweeted

1441
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: at me like something. I was like, sorry, dude, I'm

1442
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: watching a hockey game, right, Yeah, what did you think

1443
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: about the outcome of that game? Though fifty one to

1444
01:10:55,240 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: fifty four, fourteen touchdowns, there were six or seven league changes, Yeah,

1445
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 1: like seven lead changes, and I mean, it was it

1446
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: was like a it was like a backyard hoops game almost.

1447
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: It was. I know, I was, I mean, is that

1448
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 1: where we're coming to now? Because I don't know. I mean,

1449
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 1: but you think about the receivers that they have, Robert Woods,

1450
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: small guy, Brandon Cooks small guy, Todd Gurley big guy,

1451
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: big guy. But they put these guys in situations and

1452
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 1: matchups where there is a problem for the defense. And

1453
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:35,560
Speaker 1: I guarantee you all of the thirty teams need to

1454
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: be looking at this, the Chiefs and the Rams and

1455
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 1: see how they get these matchups. Yeah, and that's what

1456
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna come to. I mean, And you got good

1457
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: defensive backs on both teams, and they were getting just hammered.

1458
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: It's so much about the front four, front five getting

1459
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 1: pressure now because the backup because and they and we

1460
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: we had this huge conversation and I was this big

1461
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: conspiracy guy about you know, the league hand picked the officials, right,

1462
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: and it was as our crew, right, So nobody was

1463
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: calling any hole in in the back, or they did early.

1464
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: But you know, so these guys were running scott free

1465
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: in the secondary and you know, the quarterbacks were thrown

1466
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,560
Speaker 1: it out there and then you had three defensive touchdowns.

1467
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was It was like, you know,

1468
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: it was like living in nineteen fifty seven with a

1469
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: television little seven is television and all of a sudden

1470
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: going to a big screen red zone front, right. It

1471
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: was that big a difference. Yeah, And it was like

1472
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: and Murph and I were like, we were almost gagalicious

1473

1474
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:34,120

1475
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: were talking about how Buffalo were. Buffalo is probably the

1476
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:39,680
Speaker 1: only city in America where the next day, Tuesday, you

Speaker 1: maybe I was riding a bike trying to get back

1534
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:38,040

1551
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 1: Tasker comedy from Orchard Park. Yes, snowy Orchard Park, New York.

1552
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 1: Weather should be good, though. We check for Sunday forty

1553
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: seven degrees to high Sunday afternoon, cloudy skies when not

1554
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: much of a factor. So it'll change. It'll change probably

1555
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: three or four times between now and kickoff on Sunday, right, yeah,

1556
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: it always does. It'll be good though, that'll That's not

1557
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 1: a bad day, No, not at all. This time of year,

1558
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: on a big long weekend, everybody be geared up. People

1559
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: start showing up in Orchard Park Friday in the camper lot. Yeah,

1560
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be fun. It's gonna be fun. I mean,

1561
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 1: this is a game that I think people are looking

1562
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 1: forward to because for a lot of reasons, there are

1563
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: a lot of issues in this game. There's a lot

1564
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 1: of layers on this onion. One of the issues is

1565
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, right, the young cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars,

1566
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: who really got it all started way back in the summer.

1567
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: I think it was August when he did that. I

1568
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 1: read the interview this week as a matter of fact,

1569
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 1: just kind of refreshed myself with what it was all about.

1570
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, interviewed by GQ magazine back in August, went

1571
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: through almost fifteen NFL quarterbacks and had an opinion on

1572
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: most of them, crashed them all on Josh Allen. He said, quote,

1573
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,560
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen is trash. I don't care what

1574
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: nobody say. He's trash and it's gonna show too. That's

1575
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: a stupid draft pick to me. We play them this

1576
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 1: year and I'm excited as hell. So he said back

1577
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 1: in August in the interview on GQ. So the hard

1578
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: working reporters and Jacksonville went to Josh Allen or to

1579
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey this week and said, well, what do you think? Now?

1580
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 1: What do you think about your comments about Josh Allen

1581
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: that you made back in August. Now, and here's what

1582
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey had to say this week. You hadn't got

1583
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 1: to ask, you know, offseason and comments about Josh Allen.

1584
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: Do you whosh you hadn't said that or you want

1585
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: back him that at all? I mean no, Um, everybody

1586
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 1: who knows me knows why I was so hard on him.

1587
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna come up at any point

1588
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 1: this week, during a game or anything like that, when

1589
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: you talk to him one game after him anything. No, No,

1590
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to keep revisiting it. But stop, just

1591
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: as simple as hey, if you don't want to do it,

1592
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 1: then don't do it. You clearly want to do it.

1593
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: It's curious as to why, Um, you know you felt

1594
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 1: like you needed to make but that comment about Allen.

1595
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm just asking, honestly, Yeah, because I want it. I

1596
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: don't know another answer you're looking for. I'm not like

1597
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: a very specific answers. Okay, I'm not gonna give you

1598
01:18:55,080 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: any other said everybody who knows why you said it. M.

1599
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:04,679
Speaker 1: You don't know me, that's on you. Yeah, I don't

1600
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: know me. So but if y'all. I look deep into it, y'all,

1601
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: I can figure out, Oh, so harsh? What is he

1602
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: talking about? What do you mean? Everybody who knows me

1603
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: knows why I was so hard on him? And then

1604
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 1: they correctly followed up said what do you mean? What

1605
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,560
Speaker 1: don't we know? And he said, y'all don't know me.

1606
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 1: It's on you. They have no history, they have no

1607
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: playing history. Why was he so hard on? I mean,

1608
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 1: and here's the thing, and this may be the answer.

1609
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 1: He was hard on virtually every quarterback in the NFL.

1610
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,719
Speaker 1: And that stupid article that I wasted time were reading

1611
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,600
Speaker 1: in GQ this week, right, I mean, he didn't he

1612
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: didn't pull any punches with anybody. Listen, he right now,

1613
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: in my opinion, he's the best corner in the league.

1614
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: I agree, and he is, and he's playing like he

1615
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 1: was last year too. And he's talking a lot of

1616
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: trash about quarterbacks, and I think some of it, well,

1617
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't know any of it. I don't know the guy.

1618
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: I know this, he's not shy about saying the way

1619
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 1: it is. He feels like he's telling everybody the truth.

1620
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't like Josh Allen's a quarterback, doesn't like a

1621
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys, as a quarterback has evaluations about every quarterback.

1622
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know whether he does it with film

1623
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 1: study or just by looking at him. But he's not

1624
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 1: shy about talking. And he's one of the rare guys

1625
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 1: you'll find in the NFL who is not afraid to

1626
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: talk about guys he's about to play. Yeah, And I

1627
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: think it's rare, no question about it. But you know,

1628
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 1: still that's you know, most guys don't like doing that.

1629
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: I think it's look at me, look at me. I'm

1630
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: the new generation's Dion Sanders. That's what I think it is.

1631
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: I think it's at tension grabbing. Listen. I don't think

1632
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 1: it as you know, he trash Roethlisberger back in August.

1633
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: He went right down the line, pretty much got everybody.

1634
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: I think he picked him off twice. He picked him

1635
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: off twice, once in the end zone and they were

1636
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: both great interceptions too, but Roethlisberger got the win. He

1637
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: doesn't need to do that because I agree with you,

1638
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: he is, I believe, the best corner in the league

1639
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: right now, Jalen Ramsey. He doesn't need to be that

1640
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: guy you said. You know, he's no Dion Sanders. No

1641
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 1: ally that. I mean, I've played against that guy and

1642
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: I've seen him both play. He's Noon Sanders, So it's good.

1643
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 1: It's part of the picture for Sunday's game, right, And

1644
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 1: that's the second tweet. We had a double tweet show

1645
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: and a double Another thing to talk about, pretty simple.

1646
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: What's the most intriguing storyline for Sunday's Bill's Jaguars game.

1647
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 1: It's it's our Twitter poll. It's been up for a

1648
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 1: couple of hours. We got close to five hundred votes in.

1649
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 1: You can participate in the Twitter poll. You can tweet

1650

Speaker 1: in and response. You can call us up at eighth

1651

Speaker 1: three five fifty and toll free one eight eight eight

1652
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. To you, what's the most

1653
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 1: intriguing storyline of Sunday's game? Is it the Jalen Ramsey

1654
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen trash talk And by the way, Josh has

1655
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: not talked back yet. Forty three percent of you say, yeah,

1656
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 1: that's it. That's the most intriguing storyline. Is it Doug

1657
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: Morons returned to Buffalo? What did Thermo call him? Saint Doug?

1658
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,440
Speaker 1: Thirty one percent of you say that's the most intriguing storyline,

1659
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 1: is it the playoff rematch? Fourteen percent of you say

1660
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 1: that's what got your interest here in this game. Twelve

1661
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: percent have something else in mind. Again, give us a call.

1662
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: We'd love to hear from you. Eighth three fifty toll

1663
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty

1664
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 1: or on Twitter. From the tweet sheet from John Dubik.

1665
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 1: He chooses Playoff rematch to see our defense matchup with

1666
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: their offense. And I'd like to see Josh Allen try

1667
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: to take the top off the defense with their added speed,

1668
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 1: utilize our tight ends over the middle, and shady in

1669
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: the screen game. Okay, that's good things to watch. I

1670
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,640
Speaker 1: don't know how that figures into the playoff rematch. A

1671
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: guy named Jello tweets, and I don't really care about

1672
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 1: any of the things you list. I'm all about watching

1673
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 1: my team and seeing how they improve for the rest

1674
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 1: of the year, especially Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmonds. I'm

1675
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: hoping they will be Bedrocks for at least a decade. Yeah,

1676
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:40,560
Speaker 1: that's the guy. Guy named Jell is like, you know,

1677
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are irrelevant in this scenario, right, I mean,

1678
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 1: he just wants it's all about the Bills. For him,

1679
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't care who they are, what they bring to

1680
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 1: the table. They just want to see him in another game.

1681
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: He wants to see Josh Allen another game of the

1682
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: team in another game. He wants to see him play better.

1683
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, for me, it's it's interesting because I have

1684
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: a hard time getting my mind around not thinking about

1685
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: who you're playing. Yeah, maybe that's a former player man

1686
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: for me. But for guys, some people obviously they don't

1687
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: care if it's the Jaguars or the Giants they want

1688
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,719
Speaker 1: They just want to see their team play. Yeah, which

1689
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna tip your hat to that. I guess that's

1690
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 1: all right. Called from Trent in Rochester on this topic, Trent,

1691
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air, guys. I do love

1692
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: the fact that, um, they're going into this game with

1693
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Rams. He has to said what he said, and

1694
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: I do believe that Josh Allen has remembered that, and

1695
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I believe he's going to be actually motivated. But the

1696
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 1: biggest storyline for me, just after your sting on Twitter is,

1697
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: um the fact that it's the rematch and the Bills

1698
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: played them pretty good of last year. If they had

1699
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: had any kind of offense, they could have won that game.

1700
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 1: So I believe the Bills are the Jaguars are coming

1701
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: to face a better Bills, decent and possibly offense that

1702
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: can actually put some points on the board. You know,

1703
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen there was a case in flying around

1704
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 1: this week, guys, just way, here comes this off and

1705
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it all right, it was an upset.

1706
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: I even know what the point spread is. It's not

1707
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 1: an upset. I'm not at three and seven and three

1708
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: and seven. It's not an upset at home you're playing

1709
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 1: at three and seven team. But I see what you

1710
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: see as well. I think this is a Bills team that,

1711
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:19,559
Speaker 1: although they are not don't have the near the record

1712
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 1: they did a year ago, in some respects they're better.

1713
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: Their defense is certainly statistically better their offense and it

1714
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 1: has more i think, top end ability. Although you know

1715
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 1: they're an offense that's more mistake prone than they were

1716
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: a year ago. We kind of knew that coming in

1717
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: with Tyrod Taylor there. You knew they weren't going to

1718
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: turn it over. But by the same token, they weren't

1719
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: going to take very many chances with the added speed

1720
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: and the things that happened in the Jet game and

1721
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen getting back on the field and what he

1722
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 1: brings to the table, you think just the opposite of that, right,

1723
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna be a team that may

1724
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 1: take the lid off and they open it up a

1725
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 1: little bit and have a chance to score some points. Yeah,

1726
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: I see what you see. I think there's every reason

1727
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: to think this is gonna be a fun game to

1728
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: watch for Bills fans call here from Tom and fort

1729
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: Erie on Area. Go ahead, Tom, Welcome to the show.

1730
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: Hey guys, I just out of a little theory here,

1731
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:08,560
Speaker 1: I think that maybe he's trash talking Josh Allen so

1732
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: much because those tweets that came out on you, well,

1733
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 1: you know, from his past when he was a kid,

1734
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: And yeah, maybe that's it fortunate remarks. Maybe he's got

1735
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: some kind of bone to pick with him over that.

1736
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: That could be. I guess I hadn't not thought of

1737
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,640
Speaker 1: that that. Maybe. I don't know. I think it's more

1738
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: of the fact that he just doesn't think he's very good.

1739
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 1: I think that's more of what it is. But but

1740
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:32,560
Speaker 1: you could be right, you could be right. It's for

1741
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 1: some people it's not I don't know. For anybody. That's

1742
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 1: the first time I've heard that brought up since the draft,

1743
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, And I think everybody knows that when

1744
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: you're fifteen, you do stupid stuff. There's a call from

1745
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 1: Mike and Orchard Park. Come on, Mike, go ahead, and

1746
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us. Mike, Mike hung up

1747
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 1: on you sounds Oh there you go, Hi, Mike. Yeah,

1748
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: John and Steve, thanks very much for taking my call.

1749
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you that I enjoyed the

1750
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 1: call with or the show with Thurman. I mean, it's

1751
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 1: just like sitting in a room listening to a bunch

1752
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: of fraternity brothers and I just loved it. But there's

1753
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: no beer here, Steve, what kind of a frat house

1754
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: is this? Diet Doctor Peppers? But John and Steve the

1755
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 1: the real reason for my call is, I know they're

1756
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: putting a lot of stock and Josh Shallen for this game,

1757
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: But do you believe that the Bills have given up

1758
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 1: on the season? And thanks for taking my call? No,

1759
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't do you. I don't think at all. No.

1760
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they know they're they're they're not going to

1761
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs with seven losses. Um, even if

1762
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 1: they run the table. Right now, it looks like there's

1763
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: going to be at least six teams with six losses um.

1764
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: That puts them out. So but I and I don't

1765
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: think that as players, even if they were seven and

1766
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 1: three as opposed to three and seven. Uh, their folks

1767
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: stone winning this game. That's the way football players work.

1768
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: That's the way the tech, that's the way that the

1769
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: schedule works, are the mindset works. When you're in the NFL.

1770
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 1: You're not thinking about big picture. You're trying to take

1771
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 1: one game at a time, whether it's good or bad,

1772
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 1: whether the prospects are good, or whether the percentages are

1773
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 1: good or bad, whatever comes down you are trying to

1774
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:22,760
Speaker 1: get into. You're trying to get the next game out

1775
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: of the way. You're trying to win it. And that's

1776
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 1: that's where their mindset is. So I don't I don't

1777
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:28,680
Speaker 1: think they look at the big picture. And I particularly

1778
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 1: if when their percentages are looking like they are now

1779
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: for the Bills, they're thinking about this game and nothing else. Hey,

01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: chip into the middle of the table for Steve Tasker

1800
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 1: being the greatest actual teams player ever? And is that

1801
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame vote? Johnny? Hello, Johnny, that should

1802
01:28:56,160 --> 01:29:00,680
Speaker 1: be a no brainer. Steve. You are just You're awesome. Man,

1803
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: you are awesome. Yeah, no, Johnny, you can call it

1804
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:07,560
Speaker 1: anytime you want. What's on your mind. I would like

1805
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: to say that Sunday's game has the Bills are out

1806
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: of it. We know that this is a chance to

1807
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:19,640
Speaker 1: look at Josh Allen and the playoffs are out. I

1808
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 1: think Sunday is a day of where are the Sabers

1809
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: gonna be? Steve Tasker is a huge Sabers fan, and

1810
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: the Sabers I think that's the bigger story. Well not here,

1811
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:34,519
Speaker 1: it isn't, but go ahead, there's a two hour Saver

1812
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 1: show that precedes. Yeah, you gotta watch the Instigators and

1813
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 1: we like I mean, let's we'll talk about him too

1814
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,600
Speaker 1: because we like we both like him too. But I

1815
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 1: love the Instigators guys. But I guess my question is

1816
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: Steve like that guy Goodis is a bad guy. He's

1817
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 1: a nasty guy. What are we talking about? Who's Goodis?

1818
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:56,040
Speaker 1: Who's that? Who are you talking about? The Philadelphia ply Yeah, Johnny,

1819
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 1: with the respect, we love the Sabers. We're partners with

1820
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 1: the Sabers. Steves huge fan. I'm a bit of a fan.

1821
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 1: But we don't have time to talk about hockey here.

1822
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:05,560
Speaker 1: We really don't and you know why, because, as you

1823
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 1: can tell, neither one of us know much about hockey,

1824
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 1: about the Sabers or the Philadelphia Players. You are better

1825
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 1: served to call some other show, including the Instigators, from

1826
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 1: ten ten am to twelve noon, because quite frankly, we

1827
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,679
Speaker 1: don't know anything about the Sabers, do you. We don't know. Listen,

1828
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:21,920
Speaker 1: you could tell like a cheese I think waiting the

1829
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 1: other day. He got me with that one. You could

1830
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 1: put everything I know about hockey into a thimble and

1831
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: still have room for whiskey. So there you go. I mean,

1832
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 1: I rather calling us to talk about hockey, That's my point.

1833
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 1: And I appreciate John. I'm a big fan too, But

1834
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,599

01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 1: break down. Yes, oh yeah, we're going. That is a

1838
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 1: show crusher, right, It really was the soul crusher as well. No,

1839
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 1: it was. Look, we're not anti Sabers, but this is

1840
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:55,679
Speaker 1: not the place for because we don't know anything about hockey.

1841
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 1: I freely admit I don't know who Johnny Gooda is.

1842
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: Does that think he got me with I thought he

1843

1899
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 1: last minute visits to see these guys and especially take

1900
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, a peek at some of these underclassmen that

1901
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 1: have played well that you're starting to hear maybe this

1902
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:01,840
Speaker 1: guy may come out maybe, you know, this is the

1903
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 1: last chance to see these guys play real football. If

1904
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 1: you don't see him now, you know, when you see

1905
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:09,640
Speaker 1: him in January, it's you know, it's the underwear. And

1906
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 1: it's not like the NFL where you can sit here

1907
01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,640
Speaker 1: and watch film of everybody else in the league. You've

1908
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 1: got to go to those places to see their film. Right,

1909
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 1: we get film, but you can't you know, get up

1910
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 1: on them, body type them, watch them move around in

1911
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 1: their own you know, in their element, ask you know,

1912
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:27,920
Speaker 1: certain questions. You know, at the school, we do get

1913
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:30,400
Speaker 1: the film. It's a delay, you know. For example, we're

1914
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame yesterday and the Syracuse film that they

1915
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 1: just played is not in. It won't be in for

1916
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,479
Speaker 1: a little bit, but they have it available at the

1917
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 1: school so you can go ahead and watch their most

1918
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 1: recent action. So it really does for you. It's a

1919
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 1: high priority to get your own eyes on these guys

1920
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 1: and look at them. Yeah, you want in the room

1921
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 1: with them and talk to them, and the tape shows you,

1922
01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, a quick snippet, you know what, however long

1923
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:53,680
Speaker 1: the play is five to six seven seconds, but think

1924
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 1: how much goes on? You know, is their coach getting

1925
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:58,839
Speaker 1: onto them or how are they a reacting with their teammates,

1926
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:01,599
Speaker 1: Who's making the calls, who making the checks? The things

1927
01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 1: that maybe the film doesn't pick up, the leadership, the vibe,

1928
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, when we watch these guys play games, the

1929
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:11,040
Speaker 1: vibe pregame. Is this guy a leader? What's his you know?

1930
01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 1: What's he doing to get himself ready? Or is he

1931
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:16,400
Speaker 1: a distractions? He clowning around? Is he not really paying

1932
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 1: attention or coaches constantly getting onto him in practice or

1933
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: you know or whatever. When you get to these schools, Brandon,

1934
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 1: during the week, these are not games that you're watching.

01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:25,439
Speaker 1: Do you have like a go to guy or I

Speaker 1: in the gym? I mean what do you look forward

1939
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:33,639
Speaker 1: to get kind of background information? Well, you found out

1940
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:35,559
Speaker 1: first who you know? Do you know a coach there?

1941
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 1: Do you know a trainer? You know, went to Old

1943
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:43,040
Speaker 1: was a trainer that was with us in Carolina. So

01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:45,640

1947
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 1: school has a pro liaison, so to speak, and that's

1948
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 1: who we set up the visit with, and they give

1949
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 1: us a room where we can watch film and and

1950
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,080
Speaker 1: then you know, every team has their own you know,

1951
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 1: you can watch twenty minutes of practice. Sometimes we're almost treated,

1952
01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, like we have to do the media here

1953
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:05,799
Speaker 1: where they don't want you to watch the team stuff.

1954
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:08,200
Speaker 1: But some places are more open they'll let you watch

1955
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:10,519
Speaker 1: the whole practice. It was at South Carolina last weekend.

1956
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: Will must Champ. It was like stay as long as

1957
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: you want. So it's kind of every coach has their

1958
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 1: own standard of to what they'll let you do. What's

1959
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: the reasoning behind not letting you watch as much practice

1960
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,639
Speaker 1: as you want? Each one's different, I suppose, But what's

1961
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 1: some of the Yeah, I think stranger excuses you get, well,

1962
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 1: I think there's you know, they think it's competitive, competitive thing. Well,

1963
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,000
Speaker 1: they think here's what happens. There's a couple of things. One,

1964
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:36,000
Speaker 1: coaches are very protective of their underclassmen, so they don't

1965
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:38,120
Speaker 1: want to they don't want you seeing you know, they're

1966
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 1: guys that are potentially eligible. But I think the bigger

1967
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:43,960
Speaker 1: reason is sometimes coaches are worried about who you know,

1968
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,679
Speaker 1: if if I'm scouting Ohio State, do I know somebody

1969
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:49,840
Speaker 1: on Michigan staff. You know they're playing them that week,

1970
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, so sometimes there's some concern there. I don't

1971
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:56,759
Speaker 1: think very many people get into that that are scouting.

1972
01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 1: You're there just to watch the players. I don't care

1973
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:00,559
Speaker 1: who does well or not. I'm just trying to individually

1974
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 1: look at these guys. But you know how it can

1975
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: be if it's a big game or something like that,

1976
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 1: they may close practice for you know, for certain way.

1977
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking of almost the other side of that

1978
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 1: question and what's in it for the schools. I guess

1979
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: having a general manager, an NFL general manager, adds value

1980
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 1: to their program when it comes to recruiting. Yeah, it

1981
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 1: definitely does. I mean when those guys, there's nothing that

1982
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:21,720
Speaker 1: recruits better than you know, we're getting you ready for

1983
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 1: the NFL. And so the more players that get drafted

1984
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:28,800
Speaker 1: or get signed after the draft, they promote that a is,

1985
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: look what we've done for this guy. He's playing here

1986
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:32,640
Speaker 1: and there. So you'll see that in a lot of

1987
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: places where they're former players that are now playing in

1988
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:38,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, they'll have pictures of them with their current team,

1989
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills or whoever they're playing for, and

1990
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: it's a good thing for those guys to see when

1991
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:45,200
Speaker 1: they come in every day. I one more question about

1992
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:47,560
Speaker 1: this aspect of your job. We got other stuff to

1993
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 1: ask you about this time of year, in season, college season.

1994
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 1: What percentage of your time is spent do you figure

1995
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:55,839
Speaker 1: I know you probably haven't figured it out, what percentage

1996
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 1: of time is spent on this I'm scouting on going

1997
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:00,320
Speaker 1: out and looking at next year's draft to say as

1998
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:02,160
Speaker 1: much as you can. You know, once we get the

1999
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 1: roster set in our practice squad set and we grade

2000
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:07,720
Speaker 1: other teams practice squads, and we kind of know what's

2001
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 1: out there, we've set our board, our you know, player

2002
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 1: available board, so to speak. When guys get injured, this

2003
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 1: is the best corner that's available. This is who we

2004
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 1: think is the best corner on a practice squad. Should

2005
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,559
Speaker 1: we want to plug them. We're constantly our pro guys

2006
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 1: are monitoring that and keeping me up today who they

2007
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 1: like and if they really like a guy, they let Joe, myself,

2008
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 1: Dan Morgan know and one of us. Are all of

2009
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 1: us get eyes on them? Is this a guy we

2010
01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:33,160
Speaker 1: want to claim? But we really try and focus, especially

2011
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 1: you know two and three weeks into the regular season,

2012
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 1: we really heavily focus on college when we can, especially

2013
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:41,280
Speaker 1: those guys. I've got to deal with some other things

2014
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 1: here day to day where I can't get out as

2015
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:46,400
Speaker 1: much as sometimes you like. But lately been able to

2016
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:48,200
Speaker 1: get out a lot, which has been good. So my

2017
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 1: question is where you been. We don't want to go everywhere,

2018
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:55,640
Speaker 1: but we honestly we cover. We cover a lot of

2019
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 1: the school, so it wouldn't be given up a lot.

2020
01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:58,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I've made it to most of the SEC

2021
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:02,599
Speaker 1: the big school, you know, the Big twelve or five again. Yep,

2022
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 1: you get this man as you can that have enough

2023
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:06,800
Speaker 1: players you want it to be worthwhile if you if

2024
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:09,639
Speaker 1: it's a school that's only got one or two draftable guys,

2025
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: unless it's really a stud you might bypass that as

2026
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 1: a live visit. But you're still able to watch tape

2027
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 1: with Brandon Bean, the Bill's general manager. Okay, Steve has

2028
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: made this point. I'm surprised this wasn't this question about

2029
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:25,040
Speaker 1: how active and busy you and your personnel department has

2030
01:39:25,080 --> 01:39:27,720
Speaker 1: been finding players for this year's team in the free

2031
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 1: agent market. It seems like, especially in the last maybe

2032
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 1: three to four weeks, you've really made a concerted effort

2033
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 1: to bring in new guys to restock this roster. Now, yeah,

2034
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 1: we're constantly trying. You know, sometimes it doesn't work out.

2035
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:41,479
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't have a spot. There's guys we say, man,

2036
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 1: if we had a spot, but you know this guy,

2037
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, we had to cut this guy and we

2038
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: expose him. But you know, we've not been happy. I

2039
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,200
Speaker 1: think more of our moves have been on the offense.

2040
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:53,479
Speaker 1: You know, we've not been happy as a group. And

2041
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 1: you know we've tried to ingest, you know, inject some

2042
01:39:56,520 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 1: different players with some different skill sets, and you know,

2043
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 1: I think you saw the Jets game. We went with

2044
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:05,360
Speaker 1: more of a speed package just to try and see

2045
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 1: if that could get us going, and it did for

2046
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:10,640
Speaker 1: that game. That's one game. Doesn't prove anything more than

2047
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,599
Speaker 1: one game. But hopefully those guys will continue to show

2048
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 1: their abilities and the more they play, you know, hopefully, Josh,

2049
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: they would go out this week and get used. That'll

2050
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:23,240
Speaker 1: be a new acclamation period with these guys. He's been

2051
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: on the you know, the shelf for you know a

2052
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 1: little over a month, but he's excited to get back

2053
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:29,680
Speaker 1: out there and play with some of these new guys. Yeah.

2054
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: And it was interesting too because the experimentation you did

2055
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 1: with the speed package turned such big returns. Now you

2056
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 1: brought Jon Tay Thompson back. Yeah, who's a speed guy

2057
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,439
Speaker 1: as well. So it's more of a good thing kind

2058
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 1: of thought process. Yeah, you know, DT, we wanted to

2059
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: get him back, but where we were in the cap

2060
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:51,719
Speaker 1: last year, Dallas really offered him something that we weren't

2061
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 1: able to match. And you can't blame him. It's a business,

2062
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,840
Speaker 1: but we were fortunate that he became available and he

2063
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:00,320
Speaker 1: really brings He's a speed guy, and a lot of

2064
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:03,680
Speaker 1: speed guys lacked an edge of tough. DT has an

2065
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 1: edge to him and a real grit and tough and

2066
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 1: and I think you go back to that snow game

2067
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 1: some of the plays he made. But um, I like

2068
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:12,639
Speaker 1: who he is on and off the field and he's

2069
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 1: good for the room. I feel like I need to

2070
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 1: know more and want to see more of Isaiah McKenzie,

2071
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 1: who I think he played seven offensive snaps against the Jets.

2072
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 1: Is he Do you view him as primarily a return

2073
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 1: guy or can he help your offense? He definitely can.

2074
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:27,599
Speaker 1: You know, it takes time for these players to learn

2075
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 1: the offense and learn. So what I thought Brian and

2076
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:33,720
Speaker 1: his staff did a great job of getting him in

2077
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:36,600
Speaker 1: that week those seven snaps. If if that's what it was,

2078
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, some some little packages and yeah, we definitely

2079
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 1: hope to you know, you have some different packages this week,

2080
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 1: some speed, some size packages. I think Brian's gonna try

2081
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,440
Speaker 1: and keep you know, he'll do his best to keep Jacksonville,

2082
01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:52,719
Speaker 1: you know, guessing at what we're gonna do. But Isaiah

2083
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 1: is definitely a part of that, his return stuff when

2084
01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 1: he gets going to get some space. He's he's made

2085
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 1: some special plays in his early part of his career,

2086
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: so that's an attractive part of him. What can you

2087
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,680
Speaker 1: tell us about his background? You know, coming from he

2088
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 1: came from Georgia. He came from Georgia, right, yea, and

2089
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:10,519
Speaker 1: then uh, you know, Denver drafted him the fifth round,

2090
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:12,679
Speaker 1: I believe. So I was in Carolina and we scouted

2091
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 1: him and because we were looking for a return guy

2092
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 1: as well. And I remember this guy if he gets

2093
01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: in his hands and gets in space. The thing about

2094
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:22,360
Speaker 1: him is a lot of times guys are quick or

2095
01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:25,719
Speaker 1: they're fast. He's quick and fast, which is a unique

2096
01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,599
Speaker 1: trait that some of these guys have. I'm not comparing

2097
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 1: him to Tyreek Hill, but tyreek Hill has that dual

2098
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 1: thing which you don't see a lot of guys. Have

2099
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: you see a straight line fast or a quick guy

2100
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't have that four or three four four type speed.

2101
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 1: Isaiah has a very good straight line and good separation quick.

2102
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you here at week twelve of

2103
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 1: the IF the NFL season, coming off the bye week

2104
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:52,160
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills was a late bye week, You've

2105
01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:53,760
Speaker 1: had a chance to really look at the guys you

2106
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 1: drafted this year. Josh and obviously Josh's you know, is

2107
01:42:56,840 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 1: a you know, it's a progression for his spot. But

2108
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,759
Speaker 1: the other draft picks you've got, particularly like Tremaine Edmonds

2109
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 1: and now this last week, the Jet game two weeks ago,

2110
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:09,439
Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller, and of course the rest of the draft class.

2111
01:43:09,479 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 1: You've got to be pretty encouraged by getting it right

2112
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 1: with a lot of those guys. Yeah, we really like

2113
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: our young guys um and we've been really focused on

2114
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,840
Speaker 1: how much our first and second year players are playing.

2115
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 1: You know, you go to even the draft class before

2116
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: with Trey White and Dion Dawkins and Zay's really coming

2117
01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 1: on and and I'm left somebody out that I just

2118
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:35,759
Speaker 1: drew a blank that that played recently, but oh, Milana, Matt, Milanna,

2119
01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:38,920
Speaker 1: that was in there. So I think what we're really

2120
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 1: focused on is how much experience our first and second

2121
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: year guys. And we're very happy with with both of

2122
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:46,640
Speaker 1: those groups and really looking forward to them just more

2123
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 1: to gain experience and it'll be good. You know. Josh

2124
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:52,599
Speaker 1: unfortunately had it, but I think he's took the positive

2125
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:54,639
Speaker 1: of you know, maybe it's good to sit and watch,

2126
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, da do it for a little bit. You know,

2127
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:58,760
Speaker 1: Matt came in and really did some good things, so

2128
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 1: sometimes you can learn some things from the sidelines. So

2129
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:03,599
Speaker 1: he's anxious to get back out there. And again we're

2130
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:07,160
Speaker 1: excited about what we're building. I know, the losses, they stink,

2131
01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:10,760
Speaker 1: those are hard, but there are some some blessings that

2132
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 1: have happened with some of the young guys really coming on.

2133
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:15,479
Speaker 1: What are you looking for from Josh down the stretcher,

2134
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:18,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, And what do you think he might have

2135
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:21,760
Speaker 1: taken away from his you know, four games on the shelf. Well,

2136
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:23,519
Speaker 1: I think the first thing he takes away is just

2137
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, how DA watched film and prepared for his

2138
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 1: opponent away from the you know, when these guys come

2139
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 1: in on after they review the game on Sunday, the

2140
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:34,800
Speaker 1: coaches have to get up and start game planning. They

2141
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:37,400
Speaker 1: can't spend every minute with him, so DA spent some

2142
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:39,600
Speaker 1: time with him, just showing them how to watch opponents

2143
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,679
Speaker 1: and what to look for, you know what this dv's

2144
01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 1: telling you, you know, whether it's a coverage or what

2145
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 1: he's playing individually. So just preparation, you know, another way

2146
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:51,599
Speaker 1: to do it. I think one of the things Josh

2147
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 1: even told me was he saw how Da led a

2148
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: walk through and just literally throwing the ball the way

2149
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:00,519
Speaker 1: so the receivers get to experience how it's going to

2150
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: come to him. And even though the guys are just

2151
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 1: so you know, a glorified walk through, the ball still

2152
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 1: coming at the same pace. So that they can get

2153
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: their timing down things like that. So another I want

2154
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 1: to aspect to the quarterback room, how impressed and pleased

2155
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 1: were you with the way Matt Barkley played. Yeah? Really,

2156
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 1: Matt did a great job. It's not easy to play

2157
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:20,680
Speaker 1: that position at all and to come in and you know,

2158
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:23,640
Speaker 1: for him, he got injured. We faced him here, you know,

2159
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati in the preseason and I thought he did

2160
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 1: some decent things this whole preseason. He had a knee injury,

2161
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,920
Speaker 1: which he had to injury settle with them, and you know,

2162
01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 1: we talked about these lists. He was a guy that

2163
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:39,600
Speaker 1: we said would be interesting once he's healthy. Talked to

2164
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 1: his agent and he said he'd be healthy early in November.

2165
01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: So once he was, he was a guy that we

2166
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:46,000
Speaker 1: got in here and give him a lot of credit.

2167
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:49,000
Speaker 1: He spent a lot of time above and beyond to

2168
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:51,679
Speaker 1: learn enough of that playbook to go out and execute.

2169
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 1: So much attention on Josh your one first round or

2170
01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:56,360
Speaker 1: the other first round er treming. Where do you see

2171
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 1: him now compared to where he was back on September

2172
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 1: ninth when the season began. Yeah, I think it's I

2173
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: think the game, just like the quarterback for Josh you

2174
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:04,680
Speaker 1: wanted to slow down. I think it is slowing down

2175
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:07,720
Speaker 1: for him. You see him seeing some things quicker and

2176
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:10,680
Speaker 1: clearer and able to not only for himself, but to

2177
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 1: communicate to the other guys and of what's coming or

2178
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:16,680
Speaker 1: what we're what we're gonna you know, audible too if

2179
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:19,400
Speaker 1: it's if it's a pre snap read. But um, I

2180
01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:22,639
Speaker 1: really see a guy who's gaining more confidence, who who

2181
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 1: understands the pro game more. And I think he's still

2182
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:28,400
Speaker 1: he's not arrived. He's still you know, work in progress.

2183
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 1: But there's nothing better than the experience he's getting on

2184
01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 1: the job right now. And you know, he's such a

2185
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:37,840
Speaker 1: pro the guy. He takes anything he does wrong. He's

2186
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,160
Speaker 1: ultra serious. He's just you know, talked to Bob Babbage

2187
01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:42,599
Speaker 1: about all the time he's in there. He's so mad

2188
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 1: about what he made. You know, he might have made

2189
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:46,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of great plays, but he's mad about the

2190
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 1: two or three that he missed. And that's what you

2191
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 1: love about him. He really cares. And when the last

2192
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 1: guy I want to ask you about with this rookie

2193
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:56,879
Speaker 1: class was whyatt Teller he sat quiet? Uh was inactive

2194
01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:58,680
Speaker 1: for a long time and finally got his chance to

2195
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:01,240
Speaker 1: start and it ends up being a forty one to whatever,

2196
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:06,439
Speaker 1: seven to seven blowout. Yeah, so obviously the offensive guards

2197
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:09,080
Speaker 1: a key position we've overlooked for all these years that

2198
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:11,639
Speaker 1: you know, you plug in a rookie guard and everything

2199
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:14,800
Speaker 1: changes now. But really, yeah, I'm being snarky, but yeah,

2200
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,280
Speaker 1: he did. They played well. The offensive line played differently

2201
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:19,840
Speaker 1: with one different guy in there. Yeah. You know, as

2202
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 1: a whole, we tell these guys, whether they're on practice

2203
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 1: squad or they've been an active lot, you have to

2204
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 1: be ready for your opportunity because you can't. You can't say, oh,

2205
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 1: well that was my first one. You've got to show

2206
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:32,559
Speaker 1: that you're ready. Everybody is counting on you, the other

2207
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:35,720
Speaker 1: ten guys. And we kept telling why, We've told other guys,

2208
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:37,360
Speaker 1: we've got some other guys that are gonna get chances.

2209
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: But I thought, why. It did a heck of a

2210
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 1: job of coming in there. He wasn't perfect, but he

2211
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:44,599
Speaker 1: got better as the game went on. He was learning

2212
01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:47,439
Speaker 1: his opponent and some of the things that he missed

2213
01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 1: on early in the game he got corrected by the

2214
01:47:49,640 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 1: end of the game. That was the thing that I

2215
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:54,479
Speaker 1: was most excited about and he was very firm in

2216
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:57,400
Speaker 1: the pocket, like even when he was given ground. He's

2217
01:47:57,439 --> 01:48:00,560
Speaker 1: a dense, thick guy and was really with how he

2218
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 1: handled his first start. One of the draft picks we

2219
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,960
Speaker 1: almost take for granted is Tarren Johnson. There was a

2220
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:08,880
Speaker 1: metric out this week from Pro Football Focus head and

2221
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 1: listened as the third best highest graded rookie corner in

2222
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 1: the league. He's just been solid every week. You almost

2223
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:17,200
Speaker 1: take we almost take him for granted. Sometimes, yeah, I

2224
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 1: think you do. And that's his personality. He's quiet, he's

2225
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 1: not boastful, he doesn't saything. He just comes in here.

2226
01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:24,720
Speaker 1: And the thing that's so impressive about him is he

2227
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 1: heard his shoulder a week one against Baltimore and he

2228
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:29,760
Speaker 1: had to miss a game and you know, it's something

2229
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 1: that I'll have to get repaired here at some point,

2230
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:35,560
Speaker 1: and he's it's popped out on him some and he

2231
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:37,920
Speaker 1: is one of the time I think he showed his

2232
01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:41,599
Speaker 1: teammates besides his play, the respect that gets this guy

2233
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 1: is ultra tough, ultra competitive, and which was one of

2234
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:46,759
Speaker 1: the things we saw at him, you know, at Weber

2235
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:48,599
Speaker 1: coming out, and he really did a great job at

2236
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowls showing that even though I played at Weber,

2237
01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:54,160
Speaker 1: I can play with these other guys, and he is

2238
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,960
Speaker 1: a pros pro doesn't say a word like you said,

2239
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: and that's why people forget about him. But playing the nickel,

2240
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,960
Speaker 1: it's almost like a starting position, you know, because teams

2241
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 1: the passing the way it is right now, teams are

2242
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,840
Speaker 1: in eleven personnel so much that he's out there more

2243
01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 1: than fifty percent of the snaps. One last thing I

2244
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about. Um, on Monday night

2245
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 1: football Kansas City was in LA. Did you see that game?

2246
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:19,559
Speaker 1: I stayed up till about the end of the third

2247
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:22,800
Speaker 1: quarter and your thoughts. I had to catch a flight

2248
01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:26,599
Speaker 1: the next morning. You know, Um, it was an impressive game. Uh,

2249
01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, there was a lot of good stuff. It

2250
01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:31,000
Speaker 1: was crazy because it was either the offense seemed to

2251
01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:33,519
Speaker 1: score or the defense scored. It wasn't like they were

2252
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,160
Speaker 1: getting a lot of stops. But when the defense got

2253
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:37,640
Speaker 1: to stop, they made the ultimate play and turn it

2254
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:39,800
Speaker 1: around and got seven the other way. So it was

2255
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: exciting from that standpoint. I like defense a lot. You

2256
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:45,640
Speaker 1: can see we built that here with you know, our

2257
01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:48,360
Speaker 1: defense is probably you know, obviously further along than our

2258
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 1: offense is but you do have to score points in

2259
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:53,840
Speaker 1: this league and we know that, and it was it

2260
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:55,680
Speaker 1: was fun to watch. Like I said, I'm not a

2261
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:59,679
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily love games in the fifties, forties and fifties,

2262
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:03,360
Speaker 1: but you had to be impressed with you know, both

2263
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: those teams and how they moved the ball. We were

2264
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:07,800
Speaker 1: kind of giddy about it to see, right, it was

2265
01:50:08,200 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 1: you could feel it too. Yeah, we come in and

2266
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 1: we kind of tap into all the media outlets, you

2267
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 1: know before we can do the show about the major stories,

2268
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:20,000
Speaker 1: and the whole football world was just drunk, yeah on

2269
01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:23,400
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, Yeah, it was amazing. The effected head well,

2270
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 1: I think people were looking forward to it and so

2271
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:28,320
Speaker 1: many times, you know, especially some of these Super Bowls,

2272
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:30,720
Speaker 1: that they're hyped up and they don't pan out. This

2273
01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:33,720
Speaker 1: game has been hyped up for a while and it

2274
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:35,360
Speaker 1: was going to be in Mexico, and I think it

2275
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:37,559
Speaker 1: all worked out. With what's going on with the fires

2276
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 1: and on that stuff. It's kind of neat that they

2277
01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:41,599
Speaker 1: were able to play it back there for the wrong reasons.

2278
01:50:41,680 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 1: The field, you know, wasn't it up, but it it

2279
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:48,360
Speaker 1: not only lived up to the hype, it really by halftime.

2280
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 1: I think people were like, Wow, this is crazy, what's

2281
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 1: going to happen in the second half? And I was impressed.

2282
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:56,439
Speaker 1: It was the future of the NFL. That type of game.

2283
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:58,720
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know it is right now. You know,

2284
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 1: passing is very hot, go cyclical. You know, I'm sure

2285
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:03,240
Speaker 1: at some point people are going to come back and

2286
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 1: when everybody's passing and somebody's gonna try and you know,

2287
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 1: reinsert the run game more. And but that's what the

2288
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:13,640
Speaker 1: league wants. The rules are set up. It's fun. I

2289
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:17,680
Speaker 1: think with fantasy football, the points and you know, I'm

2290
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:20,280
Speaker 1: sure wagering and all that other stuff that goes on.

2291
01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:23,439
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people like to see higher

2292
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:25,559
Speaker 1: scoring games. It's more fun. I mean, that was part

2293
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:28,760
Speaker 1: of the conversation on our show Tuesday, is are the

2294
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:30,320
Speaker 1: Bills and the rest of the NFL going to have

2295
01:51:30,439 --> 01:51:33,560
Speaker 1: to catch up? We got to build a team like that.

2296
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 1: You have to have tons of receivers and I mean yeah,

2297
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:38,759
Speaker 1: I mean I think you still got to play good defense,

2298
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:40,160
Speaker 1: you still gotta be able to run the ball. I

2299
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 1: don't think the fundamentals of the game have changed. And also,

2300
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:47,680
Speaker 1: that was an ideal weather you know out there, we

2301
01:51:47,840 --> 01:51:51,479
Speaker 1: all know the playoffs, you get all sorts of crazy weather.

2302
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 1: You've got to be able where you can't throw the ball,

2303
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:58,639
Speaker 1: win range, snow, various elements that these teams that play outdoors.

2304
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 1: So I do think you still have to be able

2305
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:05,120
Speaker 1: to play the other way and be able to run

2306
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:07,080
Speaker 1: the ball and establish to run an established a line

2307
01:52:07,080 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. But it does help when you can throw

2308
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:12,559
Speaker 1: the ball that way because it opens up your run

2309
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:15,559
Speaker 1: game too. Last thing I have, you're sitting at three

2310
01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:18,720
Speaker 1: and seven six games to play what I'm sure that

2311
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 1: your mission statement for the year probably gets altered as

2312
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 1: the season goes along, But what do you look at

2313
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:25,240
Speaker 1: these final six games? What are the goals? What's at

2314
01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:26,599
Speaker 1: the top of the list of trying to get done

2315
01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:28,680
Speaker 1: here the stretch run of the season. Yeah, I think

2316
01:52:28,720 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: we want to see you know, obviously I said it earlier.

2317
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:33,880
Speaker 1: We've been we as a group, our players, everybody, coaches,

2318
01:52:33,920 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 1: we're all disappointed that our offense hasn't played as well

2319
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:41,000
Speaker 1: as it has for various reasons. Quarterback injuries, youth. You know,

2320
01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 1: our O line early in the year was a little

2321
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:44,559
Speaker 1: out of sync. I think those guys are playing better.

2322
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 1: You'd like to see that group continue to improve. You'd

2323
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 1: like to see Josh get a lot of meaningful reps,

2324
01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:53,559
Speaker 1: be able to play, you know, the rest of the season,

2325
01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:57,280
Speaker 1: and just see improvement for young guys and on defense,

2326
01:52:57,400 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: same thing. Just see them as a group. I know

2327
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:01,880
Speaker 1: they've done a lot of good things, but everybody, all

2328
01:53:01,960 --> 01:53:05,519
Speaker 1: three units, continue to improve, and let's finish the year

2329
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 1: strong and whatever happens happens. I know, Um, one of

2330
01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:12,679
Speaker 1: the years in Carolina, I think it was two thousand

2331
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:14,679
Speaker 1: and two, we won like four of the last five

2332
01:53:14,760 --> 01:53:17,800
Speaker 1: and the next year we took off and went like

2333
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:21,960
Speaker 1: eleven and five. So UM, it's not predicting that'll happen,

2334
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 1: but I think a strong finish helps you. Um. But

2335
01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:27,120
Speaker 1: we at least even if we lose some games to

2336
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 1: some good opponents, which we still have in front of us,

2337
01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:32,639
Speaker 1: you want to see us be very competitive and play well.

2338
01:53:32,720 --> 01:53:35,160
Speaker 1: And if we lose, we don't lose because we beat ourselves.

2339
01:53:35,200 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 1: We lose because we lost to a better team. Every

2340
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:39,679
Speaker 1: time you come out, I tell you this, You're always

2341

2343
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 1: to you guys. Touching go though, because you are busy

2344
01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:48,760
Speaker 1: this time of year and we didn't know if it

2345
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:50,080
Speaker 1: was going to be two o'clock or whether it was

2346
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:52,040
Speaker 1: going to be you know, your flight was gonna be late,

2347
01:53:52,080 --> 01:53:54,000
Speaker 1: and we weren't gonna be able to get you in. Fortunately,

2348
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:58,120
Speaker 1: the airlines did their job. They do appreciate it. Brandon

2349
01:53:58,160 --> 01:54:00,280
Speaker 1: being the Bills general manager. Steve and I back with more,

2350
01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:02,920
Speaker 1: including coffee with a coach. We'll see if they actually

01:54:03,200 --> 01:54:06,160

2354
01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:30,600
Speaker 1: Great conversation ever seats. Great conversation I thought with and

2355
01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 1: it was you mostly with the Brandon beandal, you know

2356
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 1: what I mean. No, sometimes I do that. The way

2357
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 1: this is set up, fees listening to radio, We're at

2358
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 1: a table and I like turned towards our guests and

2359
01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:44,440
Speaker 1: my back is completely to Murphy. Get that I'm here. No,

2360
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying that now, I was just kind of

2361
01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:49,240
Speaker 1: teasing you. I thought. Brandon shed a lot of light

2362
01:54:49,320 --> 01:54:51,960
Speaker 1: on how he feels about the current players, the rookies,

2363
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 1: what they're getting from them, what they hope to get

2364
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:56,080
Speaker 1: from them, But any more importantly, what the final six

2365
01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:57,760
Speaker 1: games of the year, what he hopes the final six

2366
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:00,240
Speaker 1: games of the year should look like. I'm excited about that. Yeah,

2367
01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:03,000
Speaker 1: I think so too. And he's riding a lot of measures,

2368
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:06,040
Speaker 1: you know. I I tend not to let things go

2369
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:09,160
Speaker 1: because I'm still thinking about the Houston game. The Bills

2370
01:55:09,160 --> 01:55:11,400
Speaker 1: should have won. Yeah, why do you get hung up

2371
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:12,720
Speaker 1: on I was thinking about it. We'll think if they

2372
01:55:12,720 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 1: were four and six right now, you got like six

2373
01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:17,480
Speaker 1: teams at five and five trying to get the last

2374
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:22,120
Speaker 1: wild card. You're in that you're right back in it

2375
01:55:22,880 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 1: another there's six games left, and if they're going to run, yeah,

2376
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:30,760
Speaker 1: anything can happened. Um wow. I just just the Houston

2377
01:55:31,400 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 1: is not a pretender. They're a pretty good team, right,

2378
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:35,080
Speaker 1: They've won six in a row, seven in a row.

2379
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:39,160
Speaker 1: Should have beat him. They should have beat him. And

2380
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:41,120
Speaker 1: I think when I think about the Houston game, one

2381
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 1: of the things I think about since you brought it up,

2382
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:46,560
Speaker 1: is it appeared in that game that Josh Allen was

2383
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:48,760
Speaker 1: just getting warmed up, right when he threw that pass

2384
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:50,480
Speaker 1: that he got hit on, it was like, all right,

2385
01:55:50,520 --> 01:55:52,280
Speaker 1: he kind of struggled a little bit, and he struggled

2386
01:55:52,280 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 1: a week or two before that, but that pass that

2387
01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:56,600
Speaker 1: he hit, it was like, Josh has got it. Now,

2388
01:55:56,640 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 1: it's going to happen now. And then of course he

2389
01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 1: gets hit on his elbow. And you know, I haven't

2390
01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 1: gone back and looked at it that game. I like

2391
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:07,920
Speaker 1: it because sometimes we remember with a little with rose

2392
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,800
Speaker 1: colored memories or you know, rose colored glasses. I don't

2393
01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:12,840
Speaker 1: know how good he was in, but certainly they were

2394
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:14,960
Speaker 1: in that game. But it was Peterman who came in

2395
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:17,920
Speaker 1: threw the touchdown and gave him the lead. And you know,

2396
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:22,120
Speaker 1: so but he that throw he came out on, there's

2397
01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: no doubt it was a good throw. But yeah, I'm

2398
01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:27,880
Speaker 1: with you. I just that's just one game that got away.

2399
01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:29,520
Speaker 1: And then if he ended up four and six and

2400
01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 1: then he still got he got this stretch going. Yeah,

2401
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:36,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's puts a little different spin on things.

2402
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:39,200
Speaker 1: Six weeks ago, we're still lamenting the Houston lost. I can't.

2403
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:41,760
Speaker 1: I have a hard time letting go. The Bills are

2404
01:56:41,840 --> 01:56:45,000
Speaker 1: focused on Jacksonville, including head coach Sean McDermott and as usual,

2405
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:48,160
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott sits down with our man Chris Brown. Every

2406
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:50,600
Speaker 1: week has a cup of coffee. It's Coffee with the Coach,

2407
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:53,800
Speaker 1: presented by Tim Horton's Cafe and Big Shop, the official

2408
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 1: coffee of the Buffalo Bills. Hello, everybody, welcome to the

2409
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:00,040
Speaker 1: week twelve edition of Coffee with the Coach present and

2410
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:02,360
Speaker 1: buy Tim Hortons. I'm Chris Brown along with Bill's head

2411
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 1: coach On McDermott as the Bills are home to host

2412
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:08,240
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at one pm. Coach is

2413
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 1: always thanks for being with us. So in your last game,

2414
01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:13,680
Speaker 1: there was a clear effort to get some younger players

2415
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:17,800
Speaker 1: on the field, Wyatt Teller, Levi Wallace, Robert Foster among them.

2416
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:22,040
Speaker 1: So what were the main factors in going that route

2417
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 1: and should we expect that to continue going forward? Well,

2418
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a part of our evaluation process

2419
01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 1: as we continue to build this football team according to

2420
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:35,040
Speaker 1: our plan, and so at the end of the season,

2421
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:38,560
Speaker 1: it's important that we know or have as good of

2422
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:40,560
Speaker 1: a feel as we can Chris for what we have

2423
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 1: at these with these young players at these positions that

2424
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 1: you're referring to. Josh Allen another one on the list.

2425
01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 1: Of course, he looks like he's going to make his

2426
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 1: return to the lineup this week. But what is realistic

2427
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:55,360
Speaker 1: to expect from Josh knowing he's had a six week

2428
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:59,280
Speaker 1: layoff from the game setting. Yeah, I mean, I think

2429
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 1: we have to manage expectations, right with with with any

2430
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:04,280
Speaker 1: young player that plays, let alone a player that hasn't

2431
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:06,480
Speaker 1: played for a number of weeks. And as it relates

2432
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:10,240
Speaker 1: to Josh, the quarterback position in particular, think things move

2433
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 1: or tend to move somewhat quickly or or or at

2434
01:58:13,520 --> 01:58:17,400
Speaker 1: a rapid pace. Um. I thought the game was slowing

2435
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:19,560
Speaker 1: down for Josh in the Houston game in particular in

2436
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 1: the second half there. Um. And you know, we know

2437
01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 1: what he's gone through now, so you hope that he's

2438
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:31,520
Speaker 1: built up, um, some strength if you will, from that moment,

2439
01:58:31,600 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: if you know of adversary with the injury that he

2440
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 1: went through. When you go through injuries, it's in particular

2441
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:39,840
Speaker 1: you're when it's your first time going through in the NFL,

2442
01:58:39,920 --> 01:58:42,839
Speaker 1: it's it presents a challenge not only physically but mentally.

2443
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:46,680
Speaker 1: And I thought he worked himself through that challenge awfully.

2444
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:49,839
Speaker 1: Will Okay, good time to take some inventory on the Jaguar.

2445
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:52,360
Speaker 1: So maybe a couple of words that come to mind

2446
01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:55,480
Speaker 1: when I give you the name Leonard Fournette A load.

2447
01:58:56,520 --> 01:58:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's work. He's one of the best running

2448
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:01,600
Speaker 1: backs in the NFL. UM, tough to tackle, it, can

2449
01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 1: get outside, can can obviously get downhill and square shoulders

2450
01:59:04,600 --> 01:59:07,720
Speaker 1: and he can make for a long afternoon for defenses.

2451
01:59:07,760 --> 01:59:09,680
Speaker 1: The guy that covers a lot of ground at the

2452
01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:15,240
Speaker 1: second level, Miles Jack, extremely athletic linebacker. Um. They've got

2453
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:18,600
Speaker 1: what I would consider the most talented team UM in

2454
01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, they've done a great job of

2455
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:23,440
Speaker 1: adding pieces over the years, Miles Jack, Leonard Fournette, you

2456
01:59:23,640 --> 01:59:26,560
Speaker 1: name it, Um, that's why they've had success. Are you

2457
01:59:26,640 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 1: talking defensive unit orre you saying top to bottom the ball?

2458
01:59:30,160 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 1: You know, I think arguably the best roster, the best

2459
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:36,720
Speaker 1: collection of talent out there. UM, and we'd be a

2460
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 1: lot of respect for him. Last one was Jalen Ramsey,

2461
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 1: a guy that to me and you can weigh in

2462
01:59:41,360 --> 01:59:44,600
Speaker 1: on this coach that looks like he almost bates quarterbacks

2463
01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:48,280
Speaker 1: into thinking a receiver's open and then somehow closes that

2464
01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:51,560
Speaker 1: space and he's on the ball. So so Athletics, So long,

2465
01:59:51,760 --> 01:59:55,760
Speaker 1: Chris Um. It's got that got that mentality um that

2466
01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:58,760
Speaker 1: most great corners have where he baits people to your

2467
01:59:58,840 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 1: point and wanting them to throw it his direction. Most

2468
02:00:02,440 --> 02:00:04,360
Speaker 1: people don't do that, they stay away over the other

2469
02:00:04,440 --> 02:00:07,360
Speaker 1: side or go over the middle. But just a phenomenal player.

2470
02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 1: All right. Now it's time for our Fan Question of

2471
02:00:09,960 --> 02:00:11,640
Speaker 1: the Week, a chance for you the fan to ask

2472
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:14,560
Speaker 1: coach a question. This week's question comes from Max on

2473
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Twitter and he asks, coming into the Jaguars game on Sunday,

2474
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:21,280
Speaker 1: with Leonard Fournette back and getting a lot of carries

2475
02:00:21,400 --> 02:00:24,480
Speaker 1: last week, how much has gone into neutralizing the run

2476
02:00:24,560 --> 02:00:27,000
Speaker 1: game in terms of preparation. Well, that's really where we

2477
02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:30,400
Speaker 1: start every week, in particular this week is making sure

2478
02:00:30,440 --> 02:00:34,440
Speaker 1: that we established Alana Scrimmons with our defensive front and

2479
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:38,080
Speaker 1: then we play with great fundamentals. As it comes as

2480
02:00:38,120 --> 02:00:41,080
Speaker 1: you speak to trying to stop, I don't know if

2481
02:00:41,120 --> 02:00:42,520
Speaker 1: you can stop, but you can try and manage it

2482
02:00:42,520 --> 02:00:45,320
Speaker 1: at least the run game of the jacksonvill Jaguar. All right,

2483
02:00:45,360 --> 02:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Coach is always thanks for the time, good luck at

2484
02:00:47,160 --> 02:00:48,480
Speaker 1: and to win here at home. This we have thanks

2485
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:50,800
Speaker 1: Chris all right, that's Bill's head coach, Sean McDermott. This

2490
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:07,040
Speaker 1: goes untouched. I've asked Brownie of the phenomenal product placement.

2491
02:01:07,720 --> 02:01:09,920
Speaker 1: It's good product placement. But you can take a sip.

2492
02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I used to do. I remember watching guys sip beer

2493
02:01:13,320 --> 02:01:16,400
Speaker 1: on beer commercials back in old time TV. You know, yeah,

2494
02:01:16,720 --> 02:01:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm so old. I remember cigarette commercials. Yeah, light up

2495
02:01:21,160 --> 02:01:23,360
Speaker 1: a cigarette. Yeah, maybe we should do that for Brownie

2496
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:28,040
Speaker 1: and Coach. No. Hey, our topic toy, we got two

2503
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:45,720
Speaker 1: It's a Twitter poll and with about six hundred votes

2504

Speaker 1: and forty two percent of you say the most intriguing

2505
02:01:48,320 --> 02:01:52,800
Speaker 1: storyline is the trash talking sponsored by Jalen Ramsey, the

2506
02:01:52,840 --> 02:01:56,600
Speaker 1: cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thirty one percent say Moron's

Speaker 1: returned to Buffalo, fifteen percent say the playoff remail, at

2514
02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:18,920
Speaker 1: it'll make you mad, But I think the whole city

2515
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:22,040
Speaker 1: wants to see if mad Dog Barkley was a fluke

2516
02:02:22,160 --> 02:02:24,840
Speaker 1: last week. We want to see him play one more

2517
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:28,560
Speaker 1: and see what happens and maybe he could shut Jalen

2518
02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:32,680
Speaker 1: rams Yeah, well, thanks Giving, Okay, thanks Joe, Joe, you

02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:36,040
Speaker 1: with you. I think most of the people we talked

Speaker 1: to in a call on the show, they want they're

2522
02:02:37,440 --> 02:02:40,880
Speaker 1: excited about seeing Josh play again. Matt Barkley was great.

2523
02:02:41,320 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 1: They appreciate his effort, no question. I think a lot

2524
02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:46,560
Speaker 1: of people were surprised by it. But and he did

2525
02:02:46,640 --> 02:02:49,840
Speaker 1: play well. As we asked Brandon Bean and he agreed

2526
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:54,320
Speaker 1: as well. But yeah, this season, this is Josh Allen start.

2527
02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:57,320
Speaker 1: And I think I think most people, and I disagree

2528
02:02:57,320 --> 02:02:59,080
Speaker 1: with you, I think most people are really excited about

2529
02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:01,360
Speaker 1: seeing Josh get back on the I am I am,

2530
02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:03,960
Speaker 1: I certainly Yeah, I know. Yeah, Hey, um, Bills came

2531
02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 1: out to practice field about forty minutes ago. Forty five

2532
02:03:06,120 --> 02:03:08,160
Speaker 1: minutes ago, and at that time, Josh Allen talked to

2533
02:03:08,240 --> 02:03:10,680
Speaker 1: the media. Let's listen in some of Josh Allen's post

2534
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 1: practice comments today. Yeah, I mean it feels really good.

2535
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:17,600
Speaker 1: The album's feeling a lot better than you know what

2536
02:03:17,720 --> 02:03:19,520
Speaker 1: it was. And to get out here and get time

2537
02:03:19,640 --> 02:03:22,320
Speaker 1: with our guys, start running plays in the offense, UM,

2538
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:25,240
Speaker 1: and really game paying for Sunday, It's it's been awesome.

2539
02:03:25,280 --> 02:03:27,520
Speaker 1: You know. With sitting out, it's no it's no fun

2540
02:03:27,600 --> 02:03:30,320
Speaker 1: for anybody. Um, you know, I hate that part of

2541
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:33,640
Speaker 1: this game of football. But you know, it feels gonna

2542

Speaker 1: be back and watching you out there and back you guys,

2543
02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:38,720

2544
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:42,800
Speaker 1: guys are around here given out at five. You're really excited.

2545
02:03:43,520 --> 02:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm extreme excited. Um. That's what I love

2546
02:03:46,520 --> 02:03:48,240
Speaker 1: to do, you know, to be a part of this

2547
02:03:48,320 --> 02:03:51,400
Speaker 1: football team, in this organization. Um, you know, and be

2548
02:03:51,520 --> 02:03:55,160
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to play quarterback for such a historic, you know, franchise.

2549
02:03:55,240 --> 02:03:57,800
Speaker 1: So UM, I just can't wait to get back in

2550
02:03:57,840 --> 02:04:01,880
Speaker 1: the field. The jail randy comments have come on. How

2551
02:04:01,960 --> 02:04:07,800
Speaker 1: much have you dealt and stuff like that? You know? Oh,

2552
02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean the one thing you how I deal with

2553
02:04:11,200 --> 02:04:13,600
Speaker 1: that is I don't deal with it. Yeah, it doesn't

2554
02:04:13,600 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 1: matter to me. Um. Everybody's got their own opinion. And

2555
02:04:16,920 --> 02:04:18,400
Speaker 1: I'll say it over and over again. You know. The

2556
02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:20,640
Speaker 1: only people that I care about it's opinion are this team,

2557
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 1: the people in this franchise and this organization. Um, how

2558
02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:25,400
Speaker 1: they viewed me as as a person and as a

2559
02:04:25,440 --> 02:04:29,440
Speaker 1: football player. So um, you know, everybody's got their own

2560
02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:38,440
Speaker 1: say and that's fine and we move on that. I mean,

2561
02:04:38,480 --> 02:04:40,000
Speaker 1: I was a kid that came out of high school

2562
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:41,880
Speaker 1: with no offers. I went to junior college, I had

2563
02:04:41,920 --> 02:04:44,720
Speaker 1: one offer. Um, went to a whilem in and you know,

2564
02:04:44,760 --> 02:04:46,640
Speaker 1: that's not the biggest school, and you know, I was

2565
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:48,640
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to be there and be under the coaches there,

2566
02:04:48,640 --> 02:04:50,880
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I really had my opportunity. And

2567
02:04:50,960 --> 02:04:52,760
Speaker 1: so I would say that a lot of people probably

2568
02:04:52,760 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 1: said that about me, but maybe I wasn't listening. I

2569
02:04:55,080 --> 02:04:57,240
Speaker 1: didn't really care what anybody was saying. You know, That's

2570
02:04:57,240 --> 02:05:01,760
Speaker 1: how I'm gonna deal with things from from that on, guys,

2571
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean, trash Shawkin's dorm. I'll give some of it

2572
02:05:06,440 --> 02:05:08,720
Speaker 1: on the field too. That's expected, that's part of the game,

2573
02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:11,400
Speaker 1: and so it makes it pretty fun. You know, maybe

2574
02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:18,600
Speaker 1: a different now Sunday You've got well being fortunate enough

2575
02:05:18,600 --> 02:05:20,680
Speaker 1: to see DA and seeing Matt and how they kind

2576
02:05:20,680 --> 02:05:23,440
Speaker 1: of approach things, um, not necessarily on the field, but

2577
02:05:23,480 --> 02:05:26,800
Speaker 1: how they approach meetings, um, film work, UM, how they

2578
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:28,680
Speaker 1: handle the guys, and then when they get on the field,

2579
02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, just little things in their drops, you know,

2580
02:05:30,760 --> 02:05:33,560
Speaker 1: getting the ball to their hand quickly, uh, finding your

2581
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:36,600
Speaker 1: your answers when pressure comes, so um, just little things

2582
02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:38,680
Speaker 1: like that. I feel like I'm more prepared, um as

2583
02:05:38,720 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback than I've ever been in my entire life.

2584
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:43,240
Speaker 1: And I'm continuing to grow um continuing to trust the

2585
02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:45,000
Speaker 1: process that coach mcdermam is put in front of us.

2586
02:05:45,040 --> 02:05:47,120
Speaker 1: And I'm really just trying to vibe with this team.

2587
02:05:47,160 --> 02:05:49,360
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we got six games left to

2588
02:05:50,040 --> 02:05:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, to make a good season, and um, I'm

2589
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:59,840
Speaker 1: looking forward to Jo. Would would have been to join

2590
02:06:02,640 --> 02:06:10,160
Speaker 1: obviously ogations. I mean, one thing was that you're always

2591
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna good is He's gonna work his tail off. You know,

2592
02:06:12,120 --> 02:06:16,400
Speaker 1: he's never taking the playoff. Um, you know, I haven't

2593
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:18,720
Speaker 1: seen one. So the energy that he brings, you know,

2594
02:06:18,800 --> 02:06:21,400
Speaker 1: is a very positive person. He's uh, you know, one

2595
02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:23,400
Speaker 1: of the first guys to reach out to me when

2596
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:26,000
Speaker 1: I got to Buffalo. Um, you know I appreciated that.

2597
02:06:26,120 --> 02:06:28,120
Speaker 1: And you know, he's just he's a really good person,

2598
02:06:28,320 --> 02:06:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, and he steps on the field and he's

2599
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:32,160
Speaker 1: a great football player. So, um, you know, lucky to

2600
02:06:32,160 --> 02:06:36,880
Speaker 1: have him as a teammate. I'm easy. He's one of

2601
02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:39,440
Speaker 1: the best corners in the game. He's he's physically gifted. Um,

2602
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, he can run with anybody. He can stand

2603
02:06:42,240 --> 02:06:44,720
Speaker 1: up in the line and press you know, um, almost anybody.

2604
02:06:44,800 --> 02:06:47,320
Speaker 1: So um, you know it's gonna be a test for us,

2605
02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:49,200
Speaker 1: and we're looking forward to this test. It's a good

2606
02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:51,560
Speaker 1: Jaguar defense. You know, He's just one of the keys

2607
02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:53,960
Speaker 1: to to what they got going on there. And um,

2608
02:06:54,160 --> 02:06:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, obviously they haven't had the season that they've wanted,

2609
02:06:56,920 --> 02:06:58,360
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be coming out and they're gonna be

2610
02:06:58,520 --> 02:07:01,000
Speaker 1: wanting to prove people wrong too. So, UM, you know,

2611
02:07:01,040 --> 02:07:04,520
Speaker 1: we're trying to prepare for everything. And UM, like I said,

2612
02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is a good test for US quarterback

2613
02:07:07,040 --> 02:07:09,280
Speaker 1: johsh sh Allen. That's that's not trash talking. He's not

2614
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:11,920
Speaker 1: he's not getting with the program. He caused Jalen Ramsey

2615
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:14,240
Speaker 1: one of the best corners in the game. That's that's

2616
02:07:14,280 --> 02:07:18,360
Speaker 1: not trash talking. He's no, he's not trash talking. I'm

2617
02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:20,320
Speaker 1: just saying, did he get the memo? It's it's you,

2618
02:07:20,440 --> 02:07:24,440
Speaker 1: not Noah. You can trash talk Jalen Ramsey. He's not

2619
02:07:24,560 --> 02:07:26,440
Speaker 1: gonna he didn't show you that. Here's what he said,

2620
02:07:26,480 --> 02:07:28,240
Speaker 1: which I thought was really interesting and it kind of

2621
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:31,280
Speaker 1: echoed what Brandon Bean said to us the last half

2622
02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 1: hour about what he learned from from at the last

2623
02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:36,640
Speaker 1: four games that he's missed the last five weeks he's

2624
02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:39,640
Speaker 1: been out, and what he got from Derek Anderson and

2625
02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:41,920
Speaker 1: from Matt Barkley to a certain extent, was not so

2626
02:07:42,080 --> 02:07:44,160
Speaker 1: much on the field, but off the field, how to

2627
02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:48,520
Speaker 1: handle meetings. Hum Brandon talked about, you know, how to

2628
02:07:48,680 --> 02:07:50,600
Speaker 1: run a walk through right, how to throw the ball

2629
02:07:50,640 --> 02:07:52,840
Speaker 1: in the walk through that they think that's the most

2630
02:07:52,960 --> 02:07:55,520
Speaker 1: interesting thing that Josh just said. And I'm intrigued by

2631
02:07:55,560 --> 02:07:58,600
Speaker 1: the by the idea of seeing what his progress looks

2632
02:07:58,600 --> 02:08:00,720
Speaker 1: like going into this game Sunday and what he got

2633
02:08:00,800 --> 02:08:02,520
Speaker 1: out of the last five weeks when he was, you know,

2634
02:08:02,600 --> 02:08:04,600
Speaker 1: on the shelf, when he was up to this awesome

2635
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:06,680
Speaker 1: if he came in and lit it up. Yeah, I'm

2636
02:08:06,720 --> 02:08:11,240
Speaker 1: just yeah, it would be How did you change that

2637
02:08:11,280 --> 02:08:14,360
Speaker 1: would change everything? Did you hear coffee with a coach

2638
02:08:14,920 --> 02:08:19,600
Speaker 1: with McDermott when he talked about loring expectations, tempering expectations

2639
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:22,640
Speaker 1: for what Josh might be like this weekend in six games,

2640
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:24,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's an instant. It's you're right, you can't.

2641
02:08:24,960 --> 02:08:26,680
Speaker 1: He's not going to come in and light it up.

2642
02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:28,800
Speaker 1: But it would be awesome. It would be awesome. It

2643
02:08:28,840 --> 02:08:30,960
Speaker 1: would be But I like the fact that there's stuff

2644
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:33,600
Speaker 1: that he learned while on the sidelines that had nothing

2645
02:08:33,640 --> 02:08:35,480
Speaker 1: to do with how to throw this pass or how

2646
02:08:35,560 --> 02:08:37,120
Speaker 1: to call this play. A lot of it was just

2647
02:08:37,200 --> 02:08:39,760
Speaker 1: how to act as the quarterback, as the guy right right.

2648
02:08:39,800 --> 02:08:42,240
Speaker 1: I think that's important. Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.

2649
02:08:42,320 --> 02:08:43,840
Speaker 1: I think he learned a lot from those guys. I

2650
02:08:43,920 --> 02:08:48,480
Speaker 1: think um seeing it done by somebody else and getting

2651
02:08:48,680 --> 02:08:51,400
Speaker 1: a taste of what you know. Derek Henderson comes in

2652
02:08:51,440 --> 02:08:53,600
Speaker 1: with a depth of knowledge over twelve years in the NFL,

2653
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:55,720
Speaker 1: watching guys do it, been to playoff games. He's been

2654
02:08:55,760 --> 02:08:59,000
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl as a backup, but he's seeing starters.

2655
02:08:59,080 --> 02:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Get Ready's helped get Ready. Knows what it takes and

2656
02:09:02,120 --> 02:09:04,520
Speaker 1: to see him do that gives you confidence in what

2657
02:09:04,680 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 1: you're doing. It gives you the ability to go in

2658
02:09:07,360 --> 02:09:10,160
Speaker 1: and not only do the basics of what is you're

2659
02:09:10,160 --> 02:09:12,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing, but also tailor it to your

2660
02:09:12,640 --> 02:09:15,040
Speaker 1: specific needs. And I think it goes a long way

2661
02:09:15,120 --> 02:09:18,560
Speaker 1: toward getting a guy like Josh Allen more ready to

2662
02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:20,160
Speaker 1: play than he would be able to do just by

2663
02:09:20,200 --> 02:09:22,280
Speaker 1: figuring it out himself. Let's take a quick call. We'll

2664
02:09:22,280 --> 02:09:24,920
Speaker 1: squeeze in one from Corey and Falconer, New York. Hello, Corey,

2665
02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:27,760
Speaker 1: go ahead, You're on the air with us. Hey, guys,

2666
02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: how's it going? Happy Thanksgiving? Hey? I want to talk

2667
02:09:31,840 --> 02:09:35,560
Speaker 1: about what Sean McDermot said about the Jacksonville Jaguars and

2668
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:37,920
Speaker 1: how he thinks they're the best paper, the best team

2669
02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:41,960
Speaker 1: on paper. Yeah, best talent needs he said. Yeah. I

2670
02:09:42,120 --> 02:09:45,320
Speaker 1: think maybe he's trolling them, because I don't see how

2671
02:09:45,560 --> 02:09:48,080
Speaker 1: he honestly believes that with the way that the Rams

2672
02:09:48,120 --> 02:09:50,919
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs players, the Saints are, even the Steelers.

2673
02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:55,280
Speaker 1: Maybe he's playing into the Jaguars ego. And if he

2674
02:09:55,560 --> 02:09:58,640
Speaker 1: says they're the best team on paper, maybe they're gonna

2675
02:09:58,840 --> 02:10:03,040
Speaker 1: go into that thinking Okay, you know, Sean Chremat believes that,

2676
02:10:03,320 --> 02:10:06,000
Speaker 1: and I think that by doing that, he's going to

2677
02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:11,200
Speaker 1: be playing to their weakness, and that's how egotistical they are.

2678
02:10:11,400 --> 02:10:12,960
Speaker 1: What do you think get that, Steve's any chance of that.

2679
02:10:13,280 --> 02:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I don't see that as really part of McDermott's um makeup.

2680
02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:18,960
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, I don't think he was.

2681
02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:20,840
Speaker 1: I think he really does think they've got a really

2682
02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:23,160
Speaker 1: good roster, and I think that probably goes on both

2683
02:10:23,200 --> 02:10:24,880
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. He likes their probably likes their

2684
02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:27,600
Speaker 1: offensive line. I know he really likes Fournette as most

2685
02:10:27,640 --> 02:10:31,320
Speaker 1: people do. And of course their defense is um as

2686
02:10:31,400 --> 02:10:35,200
Speaker 1: talented as any in the NFL. Um they they get

2687
02:10:35,280 --> 02:10:37,400
Speaker 1: after and I think I think he likes that kind

2688
02:10:37,480 --> 02:10:40,080
Speaker 1: of team. Let's face it, that's he's a defensive coordinator,

2689
02:10:40,120 --> 02:10:41,600
Speaker 1: and I think he likes that kind of the look

2690
02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:43,520
Speaker 1: of that team. So I think he's I think he

2691
02:10:43,600 --> 02:10:46,800

Speaker 1: I mean he was faced up against Little William a

2715

2716

Speaker 1: Randon Bean joined us as well, the Bills general manager,

2720

2721
02:12:21,120 --> 02:12:23,040
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, the remaining six games

2722
02:12:23,080 --> 02:12:27,760
Speaker 1: of the regular season. See improvement for young guys and

2723
02:12:27,840 --> 02:12:30,480
Speaker 1: on defense, same thing. Just see them as a group.

2724
02:12:30,520 --> 02:12:32,800
Speaker 1: I know they've done a lot of good things, but everybody,

2725
02:12:32,880 --> 02:12:36,360
Speaker 1: all three units, continue to improve and let's finish the

2726
02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:41,400
Speaker 1: year strong and whatever happens happens. I know one of

2727
02:12:41,440 --> 02:12:43,800
Speaker 1: the years in Carolina, I think it was two thousand

2728
02:12:43,800 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 1: and two, we won like four the last five and

2729
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:49,600
Speaker 1: the next year we took off and went like eleven

2730
02:12:49,640 --> 02:12:53,160
Speaker 1: and five year. So it's not predicting that'll happen, but

2731
02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:56,360
Speaker 1: I think a strong finish helps you. But we at

2732
02:12:56,440 --> 02:12:59,280
Speaker 1: least even if we lose some games to some good opponents,

2733
02:12:59,320 --> 02:13:01,240
Speaker 1: which we still have in front of us, you want

2734
02:13:01,240 --> 02:13:03,840
Speaker 1: to see us be very competitive and play well. And

2735
02:13:03,920 --> 02:13:06,240
Speaker 1: if we lose, we don't lose because we beat ourselves.

2736
02:13:06,280 --> 02:13:08,200
Speaker 1: We lose because we lost to a better team. Are
