00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,640

00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: to Orchard Park. Home with the Bills, Welcome to One

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: Bills live from our Seneca studio. Here at one goes drive,

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker on a beautiful day in

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: Ope and happy to be with you here for the

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: next three hours. Did you see they're putting the new

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: sign up outside Senec studio. I was saying, we've had

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: a couple different names with this place. I don't change

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: it again. Settle down the sign companies making some money, right,

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: they're painting up the new sign here. You'll see when

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: you come to the game on Sunday. A lot of

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: people come in to the game on Sunday. It is

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: a sellout. Is gonna be a fun game, a good game.

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: But Steve, having watched some video of the first couple

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: of Bengals games last night, yes, the narrow loss at

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Seattle and the blowout loss at home last week to

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco, I'm here to tell you the Bills have

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: to play well to win on Sunday. This is not

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: just a piece of cake. I know a lot of

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: people are chucking this up as a win, and I

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: would too if I were betting on the game. But

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to play well. Buffalo is to win

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday. I think there since then I

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: can throw it, they can sling it. Now they can't

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: run it. You know, Joe Mixon's hurt, and their guys

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: behind him, Giovanni Bernard and those guys, they're they're not

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: running it well at all. But I'll tell you what

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: they're slinging around the yard now. They've been they've been

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: playing from behind. But like I said, when you get

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: a team playing from behind and they get a little desperate,

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: they'll start doing some stuff. And man, they're making some hay. Yeah,

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: we scored twenty nine points against the Seahawks when the

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Seahawks stopped and took a deep breath when they thought

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: they had that game in hand. That's all it takes

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: in this league. Man. And the Bengals with Andy Dalton,

39
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: who's experience and now he's got some some speed on

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: the outside. Yeah, they're kind of they're a little scary. Offensively,

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Bengals are last in the league only through two games,

42
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: obviously last in the league in rushing production, second in

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: the league in the past game. That tells you right

44
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: there what their problem is. Joe Mixon has been a

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: little bit banged up. He led the AFC in rushing

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: yards last year, has been unable to get anything going

47
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: this year. But maybe their biggest problem lies up front,

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: right offensive line everything. Yeah, they're yeah, they're struggling to

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: move people around, and now they've got injuries as well.

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: The guy Cordy Glenn was playing left tackle for him,

51
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: he's in the concussion protocol. And the guy that got

52
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: to replace Cordy Glenn has now got a groin injury.

53
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: He didn't practice, by the way. That's Andre Smith, who

54
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: was the first round pick years ago when away last year,

55
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: came back and now he's just a plug in guy

56
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: at his advanced age, and they might not be able

57
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: to plug him inte tackle because of its grain injury.

58
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Groin injury. So that they've got some issues up front

59
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: and the first round pick offensive Yeah, don't don't believe

60
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: the hype. I mean, come on, you gotta come out

61
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: and short and play. Yeah, you gotta show up and play.

62
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: And and and I think the thing we've talked about for

63
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: a ton is how these young players for the Buffalo Bills,

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: these first year players, these draft picks, these guys who

65
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: haven't been here on an opening day. All of us

66
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: have been there on opening day. We know how zany

67
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: and absolutely off the hook it is. Uh, when you

68
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: come in there on an opening day, I mean, the

69
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: place is gonna be rocking. And some of these young guys,

70
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you're gonna have to peel them off the

71
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: ceiling to get him down and say hey, hey, hey,

72
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: you gotta actually go out and line up, you know,

73
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: and uh, it's a yeah, we've seen it. It's a

74
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: it's a crazy scene. Um. And that, plus, you get

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: into these games where everybody's pumping them up all week,

76
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: tell them they're gonna win. You're gonna win, You're gonna win.

77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: You go out there and you kind of lay an

78
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: egg and stinks. Yeah, you're gonna have to play well.

79
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: And I think it's a diff I'm very happy that

80
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: we're in a position now after all these years of saying, hey,

81
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: you gotta show you really do have to show up

82
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: to beat this. You know how long has it been

83
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: since you had to say that about a Bill's team

84
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: where you're just you're worried about him getting complacent. Yeah,

85
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm not really. I think this team's gonna show up.

86
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they're made up like that, So I

87
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be fine. Line, but they're gonna have

88
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: to make some plays against the Cincinnati team to beat him,

89
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to do it consistently through four

90
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: quarters because this team will not lay down. They're gonna

91
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: come back and they're gonna they're gonna put some numbers up. Well,

92
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: they're desperate, right, They're own two, They've lost a close one,

93
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: they got blown out at home. They will be absolutely desperate.

94
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: And they have some guys who can make plays, including

95
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: the quarterback Andy Dalton. Now I like our quarterback. I

96
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen better than their quarterback, um, but they

97
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: he can make plays, and he's got playmakers John Ross,

98
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: the speedster four two two and the forty at the

99
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: combine a couple of years ago. Four two two. They

100
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: have two guys we do not, Tyler Boyd outside make plays.

101
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: Number twelve ericson the kind of the slot receiver can

102
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: make plays um the tight ends. Tyler Eiford in particular

103
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: is a playmaker. These guys. Look, if you're the Bengals,

104
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: you try to construct, well, how can we go to

105
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: two and oh Buffalo and win this game? You know

106
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: what they're thinking. I'm certain they're thinking, get some plays

107
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: through the air, Get John Ross loose, get get Tyler

108
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Boyd loose. Maybe get a little bit more production on

109
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: a Joe Mixon, and let's let's get our defense going

110
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. Especially with those good guys up front.

111
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: They have a very strong a couple of veteran guys

112
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: right up front who will be a handful for the

113
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo offensive lineman. Right when you're talking Geno Atkins and

114
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap. Those are two premiere performers there when things

115
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: were good at Cincinnati. They're still there. And those are

116
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: the desperate guys that I would worry about, those two

117
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: in particularly, They're not gonna let the rest of these

118
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: guys come in here and coast. They're gonna they're gonna

119
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: show up priady to play, and and I couldn't agree

120
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: with you more. It's gonna be a crazy scene. A

121
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: new airfield You've got a really good team for the

122
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: home crowd coming out taking their you know, taking really

123
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say like it's been taking that

124
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: first bow of the season, coming out at two and old. Congratulations,

125
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: they're doing great, they're playing well. I think that Bengals

126
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: are coming in here thinking, you know, this is a

127
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: team that if we can get them started, they're gonna

128
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: start turning it over and then we're gonna be in

129
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: this thing. You know that their defense is gonna be thinking,

130
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: get the ball, get the ball, get the ball. And

131
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna think that's a gonna be a

132
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: real real weapon for the Bengals. Will be looking at

133
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo team that turned it over four times in

134
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: the first half played this season, right, So look, they

135
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: they're they're not, They're not. They don't want to be

136
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: on three. Clearly, the Bills at two and I want

137
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: to be three and O. And it makes a difference,

138
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a difference playoff probabilities. This came

139
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: in from the league today. If the Bills win this

140
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: week and get to three and OZ and yes, New

141
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: England's next week, but if the Bills go to three

142
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: and OZ, their probabilities are making the playoffs are over

143
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety, which is fairly long sample. Now, right,

144
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: twenty nine is that twenty nine years? Yeah, nineteen ninety, Yes,

145
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: since ninety nine, almost ninety to thirty years, almost thirty years.

146
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: Teams that start three and oh since nineteen ninety make

147
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs seventy four percent of the time. That's significant.

148
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: If you start a season three and OZ, you make

149
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs seventy four percent of the time. Now, the

150
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: last time the Bill started three and oh, we know this,

151
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: they did not make the playoffs twenty eleven. They finished

152
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: with six wins. On the other hand, if the Bill

153
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: should lose this game, since nineteen ninety, teams that start

154
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: a season two and one two and one, you win,

155
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: you make the playoffs fifty three and a half percent

156
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: of the time. Fifty three point four percent of the time. Now, look,

157
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: those are just what's happened in the past, right, Not

158
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that you're locked into that, but it

159
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: does tell you historically over almost thirty years, what it

160
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: means the difference between between being three and OZ and

161
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: being two and one, and I think it's pretty significant. Yeah,

162
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: it's nothing you've got to keep going. There's a lot

163
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: of football to be played and crazy, but I think

164
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: that evens out over over time, even the crazy things

165
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: that happen, either teams that start oz and two that

166
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: still get in and teams that you know, all the

167
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: craziness that you see, it's that evens out over the

168
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: years of the thirty years. You can bet that you're

169
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: really helping yourself with these early season wins because all

170
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: these other teams. You know, certainly there are some teams

171
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: that finish strong, no question, But here's the thing. Injuries

172
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: happen to everybody, and it gets harder to win late

173
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: in the season because you can't surprise anybody, and you're

174
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: doing it when you're nicked, yep, you know. And that's

175
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: that's when the games really become hard to win. The

176
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: teams know who they are and they know what they

177
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: do best, and you're gonna have to beat them, either

178
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: forcing them to beat you left handed, or beating them

179
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: because they're forcing you to beat them left handed. You

180
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They take away what you do good.

181
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: So it gets harder to win late in the season

182
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: because there are no surprises and we're gonna start to

183
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: see that as this season rolls along, getting to three

184
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: and o would be huge. The Bills would love to

185
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: do that. They also start a stretch of home games here,

186
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: and it's important to kind of look at where you're

187
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: at in the schedule. The Bills winning those two on

188
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: the road to start the year right, never been done

189
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: before in franchise history. But now look at the rest

190
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: of the schedule. Here, what's coming up Bengals this Sunday

191
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: home against the Bengals, Patriots next week at home, one

192
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: trip to the Titans, bye week on the week six,

193
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: and then three straight at home, Dolphins at home, Eagles

194
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: at home, Redskins at home. So if you look at

195
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: it this way, five of the next six Buffalo games

196
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: are home games. You should be favored to win home games.

197
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: There are winnable games in that stretch. Five of the

198
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: next six games for the Bills are home games. This

199
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: is when they make Hay. They're already off to a

200
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: great start going two and oh, but the next stretch

201
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: here six weeks. By the time we get to the

202
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: end of October, you'll have a pretty good handle on

203
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: who the Bills are and what their prospects are. I

204
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: think much more than now, I should play six more games,

205
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: get to mid season. Five of the next six games

206
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: at home. And that takes us to our Twitter question today, Steve,

207
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: do you like this Twitter question? Let me get that

208
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: out of the way first. It's growing on me. You're

211
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of a snapshot, a big picture of where

212
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: they're going tweet and yet, yeah, we give me one

213

Speaker 1: you think we can begin now. So it just came

220
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: to a screeching halter. Right, Um, here we go for

221
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: the next six Buffalo Five of the next six Buffalo

222

223

Speaker 1: of five of those next five home games four wins, three,

231
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: three wins, two wins. Maybe you think they'll win less

232
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: than that. We'll hear from you. How many wins you

233
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,080

00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: next five home games, five of the next six at home.

235
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: In the early stages of the Twitter poll, with three

236
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: hundred thirty five votes in fifty four percent of you're

237
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: more than half say four and you're probably thinking New England,

238
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: I get it. Twenty five percent of you say three

239
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: of the next five home games they'll win, and maybe

240
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles are the other tough team you see there.

241
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Twenty percent of you say they'll go five for five

242
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: of the next five home games, and one percent say two.

243
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Give us a call eight oh

244
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

245
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty, or you can ascend in

246
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: a tweet. We can read it on the tweet sheet.

247
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: How many wins do you expect for the Bills out

248
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: of the next five home games, five of the next

249
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: six are at home. Steve is dying to get to

250
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. As you can tell, Let's go to

251
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: a tweet sheen brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

252
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Go ahead, all right,

253
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: from go builders. I expect to win the home opener,

254
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: as well as the games against the Dolphins and the Redskins.

255
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: I think the game against the Eagles will be a

256
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: toss up. The Patriots games obviously the big one, although

257
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't expect to win, it would be the biggest

258
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: win of mcdermot's tenure by far, that's no doubt about it.

259
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I think here in Western New York more

260
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: so than any other team, well maybe not the Dolphins

261
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: are the Jets, but I think when you play the

262
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: pet the Patriots, particularly this year, and unfortunately for Bills fans,

263
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: we've had six such opportunities like this over the last

264
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: twenty years where they're the defending champions and at nine

265
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: times where they've been the defending conference champions coming in

266
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: to play here in Buffalo. It has become the yardstick game. Patriots. Yeah,

267
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots of the game is the one how good

268
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: are we? And the Bills have given them some tussles

269
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: over the last in this McDermott era, it's I don't

270
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: know what the I go back and look. I guess

271
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: in the record book, but it seems as though the

272
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: McDermott teams playing against the Belichick teams have held their own,

273
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: but they've had they've struggled to win, right, And I looked,

274
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: let me see this. I'm gonna look this up while

275
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: we're doing this. But the story it's a yardstick game,

276
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: and everybody says, all right, we'll find out how good

277
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: we are by how we measure up to that team.

278
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those years. I think

279
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: this is a year where we're gonna give the Patriots

280
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: all where they can handle. I think we are going

281
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: to win four out of these X five. I don't

282
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: know for sure whether it's gonna be the Patriots we

283
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: beat or the Philadelphia Eagles that we beat. Uh. Those

284
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: are the two teams that I look at in this

285
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: five game stretch at home as being the yardstick games.

286
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: That the Eagles are two years off of their World championship,

287
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots are fresh off of theirs. And I've said

288
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: this publicly around the around the town when I've been

289
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: out and about and people ask me, I think this

290
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: team in Buffalo this year is gonna be really good.

291
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: I told you, I think they're gonna win eleven games. Uh,

292
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: plot point of contentions, I think it's gonna be plus

293
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: and and uh, I think the Yeah, I think the

294
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: floor is eleven games, and I think yeah. And I

295
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: don't have I don't have any problem with anybody thinks

296
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: that thinks they're gonna win five all five of these

297
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: home games, and they could go undefeated at home this year.

298
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: That's the kind of season I think they could have. Um,

299
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: we'll see, though. I mean, as far as this, I'm

300
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: gonna take at least four out of the five games

301
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: that are home coming up Cincinnati, Philly, Washington, the Dolphins,

302
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. I'll take at least four of those. Yeah,

303
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: I'll go with four. If I have to vote, five

304
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: of the next sixth game for the Builders aren't home.

305
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you start even you know, listen, you're you're

306
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: crazy predicting any kind of thing past this week, even

307
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: crazy prick because you don't know what it's gonna you know,

308
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: somebody steps off the curb outside the facility wrong, and

309
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: then now we lost a key player because he twisted

310
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: his ankle on the curb getting to his car. You

311
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. Let alone the fact they're

312
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: playing pro sports and they could get hurt at any

313
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: point point. So all of that stuff is unpredictable, and

314
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: that affects the team's ability to win. But I'm telling you,

315
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: this team's really good right now, and I think they're

316
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: gonna play like that. What do you think this is

317
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: the time for the Bills. This is the part. And

318
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: I agree with the four wins out of the next

319
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: five home games. I see that. But the most important

320
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: thing to me, Steve, is that, yeah, winning four games

321
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: is important, but this is the time to make Hay right.

322
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: This is the time. These next this next month and

323
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: a half, six weeks, five home games. If you get

324
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: out of that with four of the next five wins

325
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: at home, then you at least get to mid season

326
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: October twenty seventh. At least at that time you'd have

327
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: a what a six and two records maybe right right?

328
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: And and that's that's critical. And what do you see

329
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: the playoff percentages when you're six and two. So to me,

330
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: that is kind of the goal here to get you know,

331
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: to get to that point. And these next few weeks,

332
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: including this week, and is I said right at the

333
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: top of the show, Bills are gonna have to play

334
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: well to beat the Bengals. They are not a pushover.

335
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: This is not an automatic win here. And they hear

336
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: people are already saying that we'll put this one on

337
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: the wind column. Let's talk about the Patriots. No, no,

338
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: we got time to talk about the Patriots next week.

339
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: They got to play well to beat the Bengals this week.

340
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: I really believe that. Let's hear from you phone. Night's

Speaker 1: let you know what's coming up today. Chris Brown. Where

345
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: you're moments away from joining Bills insider Chris Brown on

346
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: the practice field. The Bills are out there right now

347

Speaker 1: getting the Thursday practice started. Coming up at twelve thirty today.

Speaker 1: us on the line as he get We get his

350
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on what the Bills are about. I'm really interested

351
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: in hearing what Thurman thought of Frank Gore's performance the

352
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: other day Sunday. What do you think? Yeah, yeah, I am.

354
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: But I don't want to get it. But yeah, I agree.

355
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: I think I want to hear what Thurman has to

356
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: say about it, because he always has a little bit

357
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: different take than I do. Yeah, and yeah, I want

358
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: to hear what German. Joins us at twelve thirty today.

359
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: Jake Delagala, third string quarterback where the Cincinnati Bengals had

360
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: a really strong preseason for them. He's a Hamburg native,

361
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: Saint Francis half Off Springs product, a Central Connecticut State product,

362
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: rookie undrafted free agent quarterback, Jake Delagava. We'll talk about

363
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: the Bengals with him coming up at one o'clock and

364
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: after practice, we've got siran Neil, who many of you

365
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: voted as maybe the unsung hero of the Bill season

366
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: so far. He'll be joining us in here after practice today.

367
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: Our man Chris Brown is standing by all right now

368
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: outside in the beautiful sunshine at Orchard Park as the

369
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Bills practice is underway. Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills

370
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: dot Com. Good afternoon, Chris, good afternoon. Great to have

371
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: you here with this today. You got a quick observational

372
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: injury update and not official. But what do you see

373
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: out there as far as injuries? Yeah, so it looks

374
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: like for a second straight day, Devin Singletary and tarn

375
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: Johnson are not going to participate in practice. Neither are

376
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: dressed to participate today, but they're out here observing. And

377
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: then for a second and straight day, Tridevious White in

378
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: a red non contact jersey, as we know, added to

379
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: the injury report yesterday with a neck injury. He just

380
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: stepped off right after stretch with the strength and conditioning

381
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: staff went inside. I really wouldn't be surprised if this

382
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: is like one of those crick in the neck kind

383
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: of things. I'm channeling Billy Crystal from the Princess Bride

384
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: crick in the neck. But yeah, so I think he's

385
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: just trying to loosen up right now a little bit more.

386
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: I think it's still very stiff. And I know fans

387
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: might say, well, what's the big deal, It's a stiff neck?

388
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: How do you not play with that, I don't think

389
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: there's any jeopardy of him not playing, because he did

390
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: a lot of work yesterday even though he was listed

391
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: as limited. I just think it's a thing where, you know,

392
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: when you think about the cornerback position and how much

393
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: you have to turn and run and get your head

394
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: around and all that stuff, that's hard when your neck

395
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: doesn't want to turn without you know, a shooting pain

396
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: from whatever it was, sleeping on it wrong. It could

397
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: be anything. So I think he's just getting loosened up

398
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more here for a few minutes before

399
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: he comes back out. I got you, That's what I

400
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: was thinking. The right neck injuries can come from just

401
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: sleeping on it wrong sometimes, or a neck pain not

402
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: necessarily an injury. Hey, let's talk about Devin Singletary. You know,

403
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: with every day that goes by in no practice, I'm

404
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: not saying it's becoming increasingly likely that he does not play,

405
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: but you're getting up against it now, And I wonder

406
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this, Chris. Does the fact that they

407
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: seem to be pretty well set up for depth at

408
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: running back maybe lead them to play this a little

409
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: more caustious with the rookie running back to Devin Singletary,

410
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: what do you think I would tend to think so,

411
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: And I think we cannot dismiss the fact that hamstrings

412
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: are very tricky injuries, especially for players in a sport

413
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: like football, which, as we know, is such an inherently

414
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: explosive sport. Plays are short in length, but the explosiveness

415
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: that you need to play with to be effective in

416
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: this league at a number of positions impacts the hamstring greatly.

417
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: I know Steve's had hamstring injuries. I've had hamstring injuries.

418
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: You can job and slowly build up to top speed

419
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury, but if you try to explode,

420
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: which at a running back position, at a cornerback position,

421
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: at a wide receiver position, an offensive defensive line position,

422
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: getting off the ball, it's explosive in nature, and when

423
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: you go for that quick burst of speed, that's when

424
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: a hamstring can go on you again. And I think

425
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: that's what they're guarding against here. And I know that

426
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: the team is not playing the look ahead game, but

427
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: the bottom line is this guy's You're facing the worst

428
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: ranked run defense in football this week after San Francisco

429
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: hung two hundred and fifty nine rushing yards on him

430
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: last week in Cincinnati, and you've got a pretty big

431
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: divisional game next week. So my feeling and belief is

432
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: they're going to air on the side of caution one

433
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: hundred percent in the hopes that perhaps Devon makes enough

434
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: progress if you can't play this week to be ready

435
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: for next week's game, which is a biggie. Yeah, there's

436
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: no question if it. And the problem is you get

437
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: to a point where you can run, and you start

438
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: doing it and you ask a little bit extra of

439
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: that hamstring and you're back. You're off the field for

440
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: a month instead of just one more game. So I

441
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: agree with you they're probably playing it ultra conservative. Also,

442
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: it just means listen, t J. Yelden's on the roster

443
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: for a reason, and so is DeMarco. They can get

444
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: through this game with the running backs to have on

445
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: the roster. Without Devin Singletary, you just use lose the

446
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: top end of his abilities. The rest of these guys

447
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: bring something to the table as well, So I think

448
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: you can count on them feeling good about their roster

449
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: going forward. If Devin Singletary has to miss one or

450
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: even two games with a hamstring, what about just go

451
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: ahead I was gonna and just to add to your points, Steve,

452
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeldon's gonna get a ton of reps today because Singletary

453
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: is we already mentioned not practicing and Frank Gore typically

454
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: gets his veteran rest day here on Thursdays, and that

455
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: indeed seems to be the case here. So it's gonna

456
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: be a lot of Yeldon with Harris and team portions

457
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: of practice today, So it's not like he's going to

458
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: be short on reps going into Sunday. Hey, Chris, let

459
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: me get your thoughts. And you've, of course looked at

460
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals I mentioned to see how I looked at Well,

461
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: there are two games on video last night. There's enough

462
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: there for Cincinnati, and I know a close loss in

463
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: a blowout loss at home, but enough there that leads

464
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: me to think that this is not going to be

465
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: a walkover, right, And I know their stats show they

466
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, they have trouble on defense, but

467
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: there's enough there in the passing game for them offensively

468
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: number two passing offense in the NFL at this early

469
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: stage of the season, to indicate that you got you

470
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: gotta play these guys. They could be dangerous if they

471
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: get a couple of breaks, right, I think so, yes,

472
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: And this is a team that has shown an ability

473
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: to score off of big plays, John Ross being the

474
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: chief provider of those big plays. You know, people may

475
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: have forgotten about. John Ross, former first round pick of

476
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals twenty seventeen, ran a record four two two

477
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: forty time at the NFL Combine, which I believe broke. Yeah,

478
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: broke Chris Johnson's record which stood for about ten twelve years,

479
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: and his rookie season lost to injury, injured, reserve, done,

480
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: didn't do anything, didn't do a whole lot last year,

481
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: and now in this new offense under new head coach

482
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: Zack Taylor, has completely taken off. I mean, I'm watching

483
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: him make plays deep down the field against a good

484
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: Seattle defense, maybe not the legion of Boom defense that

485
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: they used to be, but still a very respectable defense.

486
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: And he's making plays left, right and center. Beat a

487
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: blown coverage last week against San Francisco for a long touchdown.

488
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: I think he's got a sixty six yard touchdown, a

489
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: forty plus yard touchdown, and he has four or five

490
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: other plays over thirty yards. So this is a guy

491
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: that you absolutely cannot let get behind you. And we

492
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: were talking to Trdavious White about that yesterday and he said,

493
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: with John Ross, you better stay on top because the

494
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: dude is blazing right. One of the things I was

495
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: going to ask you about it about strategy going into

496
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: this game. And one thing when he got a team

497
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: like the Bengals who kind of depend on that big play,

498
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: if you keep them off the field. I know it

499
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: sounds crazy. He used to think about doing that with

500
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: Dan Marino because they score so easily if the Dolphins,

501
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 1: But this is a team that's gonna have to do

502
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: it in a big way. I think the Bengals are

503
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna win with a big play. I would think if

504
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo comes in, you might want to think about running

505
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: the football like everybody else has thought about doing them

506
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: being able to do and force them to do it.

507
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Shorten the game like that. That That brings into question the

508
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: offensive line to the Buffalo Bills, not so much that

509
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: they dominate, but also you know, with the lack of

510
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: running back depth if Devin Singletary's in there, and also

511
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of layers to this, how

512
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: it could get squirrely if you start thinking gonna run

513
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: the football. You've only got you're down and running back,

514
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: even though your offensive line could be in a place

515
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: where they could dominate right and you could even flip

516
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: that script to the other side, Steve, because the reason

517
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: they've had to throw so much is because their running

518
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: game is virtually non existent. Joe Mixon tried to play

519
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: on that bad ankle last week. Is ineffective. But really, guys,

520
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: what we're looking at as far as the Cincinnati offensive

521
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: line is a complete disaster, going all the way back

522
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: to the spring. They draft Jonah Williams out of Alabama

523
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: to be their new starting left tackle. He has a

524
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: torn laborim in the spring, has surgery, and is not

525
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: ready to play right now. So now they turned their attention.

526
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: Cordy Glenn by default became the left tackle. He was

527
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: still in concussion protocol effective yesterday. So now they've got

528
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: Andre Smith, a guy they didn't even want to resign,

529
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: starting at left tackle, and now he's on the injury

530
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: report with a groin injury. That's just left tackle, guys,

531
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: They're left guard Michael Jordan not expected to play this

532
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: week after suffering a knee injury, and then on the

533
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: right side of the line. You got a guy who

534
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: was a Bills cast off in John Miller at right

535
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: guard and then right tackle Bobby Hart, who they signed

536
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: to an extension. But you talked to Seattle or Seattle

537
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati reporters, they were scratching their head. Why did they

538
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: give all this money to Heart? He's not that great

539
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: a player. But that's kind of where they are right

540
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: now as an offensive front. And you want to talk

541
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: about the problem that the Bills offensive line had last

542
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: year and establishing the line of scrimmage, that's the problem

543
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: that the Cincinnati Bengals have right now, and it's why

544
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: they have been unable to run the football. And it's

545
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: some Buffalo defense, particular defensive line that has done a

546
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 1: pretty good job getting after the quarterback. The Bengals are

547
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: given up nine sacks. The Bills, I would think, are

548
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: looking for a more pass rush pressure here this week

549
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: and think they might be able to do it. Huh,

550
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know about think Murph. I think

551
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: it's pretty good bet. I mean, unless unless the Bengals

552
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: decided to go max protect on almost every passing down.

553
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: I mean, just think about this, Ed Oliver versus John Miller.

554
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: I'll just leave it at that. Wow. Right, So what's

555
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: the tack did you expect? The Bengals come out with offensively,

556
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: and they've got to get the ball out of Dalton's hand.

557
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: And conversely, the Bills, they may think they can get

558
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: pressure with just four guys every down instead of sending pressure.

559
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: How do you think that plays out. Do the Bengals

560
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: come out and sling it all over or you know,

561
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: knowing they can't protect, or do the Bills not send

562
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: pressure and force Dalton to throw it into a crowd. Yeah?

563
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: I think they go quick release throws to start the game.

564
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: Get the ball out of Andy's hand, try to get

565
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: the passing game in some kind of rhythm, try to

566
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: back that Bills defense off a little bit, and then

567
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: try to incorporate some run plays off of the pass.

568
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: Because the pass games of what's working for them more

569
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: than anything else. So turn to your strength, hope you

570
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: can get some quick hitters. Maybe the Bills aren't playing,

571
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: you know, press man all that much, they're playing a

572
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: little soft, giving you stuff underneath. Take that early hope

573
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: that can loosen them up, and then try to hit him,

574
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, with some runs off of that. That's really

575
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: the only way I see Cincinnati moving the ball with

576
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: any consistent degree of success. Let me flip it around

577
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, Chris, to the other side of the ball,

578
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: the Bills offense going against Cincinnati defense. I see those numbers,

579
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: I know what they say, and I saw what San

580
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: Francisco did. And yet when I look at Carlos Dunlap

581
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: and Gino Atkins upfront, I think the Buffalo offensive line

582
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: will have to deal with those guys. Right, those are

583
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: two pretty serious veteran defensive linement that the Bengals have. Yeah,

584
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: I think it's two veteran players that have a lot

585
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: of respect in this locker room here in Buffalo. Josh

586
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: Allen referenced both of those guys by name and number yesterday,

587
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: So it's very clear that those two guys are on

588
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: the radar, and deservedly so. So, you know, it's a

589
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: situation where you have to account for certain people on

590
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball for Cincinnati, and you

591
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: have to believe that, you know, Brian Dable and company

592
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: will have that squared away, or at least have a

593
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: competent plan to address those matchup guys. But beyond that,

594
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think you've got corners that can be beaten.

595
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: William Jackson was a corner that was targeted by Seattle

596
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: all day long in Week one and was victimized several times.

597
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: So I think it's something that's going to show up

598
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: on film, and I think it's something that the Bills

599
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: will have in their plan to try to take advantage

600
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: of as well. Chris he wrote an article about John

601
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: Feliciano and what he brings. One of the things we

602
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: spoke about in preseason and the gift and the word

603
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: that everybody used to describe him in training camp was toughness.

604
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys on this roster that I

605
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: think is around because he gives the team and the

606
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: roster and that side of the ball a little bit

607
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: of grit when things might start to turn salty. Is

608
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: that kind of the way you get out of John

609
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: Feliciano and his contribution as well. Yeah? In a word, yeah,

610
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean this guy has an edge to him. And

611
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: there's a quote early in the story that you should

612
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: read because I think it it's his best summation of

613
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: his own game. Because I was saying, well, why do

614
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: you need to start garbage upfront with your mouth? Because

615
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: it's not enough for him to just bury someone and then,

616
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, put his full body weight on top of

617
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: them and let them know I I owned you on

618
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: this play. He's going to talk to them and tell

619
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: them that too, because he almost wants that guy to

620
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: talk back, because he said, when that colorful language gets

621
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: really heated and intense, he says, that's where I want

622
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: to go because I play better when it gets like that.

623
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: And there's not too many guys that want to go

624
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: to that place. This guy wants to go there because

625
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: he knows it's going to make him play better on

626
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: the field. So that's just a small example of the

627
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: type of fire and competitive nature that he brings to

628
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line. And I'll tell you one more thing.

629
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: I was talking to him about how things got heated

630
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: in that final preseason or third preseason game against Detroit

631
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: where Cody Ford took umbradge when Mike Daniels, the defensive tackle,

632
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: knocked him over the pile flat on his back at

633
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: the tail end of a play when the play was

634
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: clearly over. In the preseason, Cody Ford took umbradge to

635
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: that went after him on the next play and gave

636
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: him a little extra when he was down on the ground,

637
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: and he said that Mike Daniels, who's a known yapper

638
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: in this league, went after Ford, and Ford talked right

639
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: back at him. Feliciano said, that's when I knew Cody

640
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: Ford was my guy based on that kind of stuff.

641
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: He said, it reminded me of myself as a rookie

642
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: because John Feliciano's first NFL start was against Green Bay

643
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: and he was in a yapping match with Mike Daniels,

644
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: who then said to Gabe Jackson, who was a guard

645
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: on the Raiders at the time with Feliciano, you better

646
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: talk to your rookie and tell him who he's messing with.

647
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: And so Gabe goes up to John and says, what

648
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: are you doing? And John looked him dead in the eye,

649
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: said I don't care. I don't care who that is.

650
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't care that I'm a rookie. We're going let's play.

651
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of attitude that he brings to

652
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: this offensive line. And I can't tell you how excited

653
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: he was to see that Cody Ford as a similar

654
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: type attitude. It's a story worth reading. It's right in

655
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: the front of Buffalo Bills Time Com Chris Brown's post

656
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: how pure grit and a fiery disposition landed John Feliciano

657
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: a starting role on the Bills offensive line. Chris, thanks

698
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: thanks a lot. Yeah, how are you doing? What do

699
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: you think of the Bills victory? Uh? Last Sunday at

700
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: the middle ends against the Giants? What do you make

701
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: of that? Well, you know what Marathon Steve, you know,

702
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean everything started out well. I mean the Giant

703
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: score on their first drive. You know, I think a

704
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: lot of people were going, oh, is this really happening?

705
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: But the defense hung in there, the offense got going.

706
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: M score twenty one points and uh. But the thing

707
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: that concerned me coming out in the third and third quarter, man,

708
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: what we pointed about what four or five times in

709
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: a row? Yeah, you didn't bring it, didn't gain any

710
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: momentum throughout the second half. You know, scored a touchdown

711
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: that they're to make it twenty eight to fourteen. But

712
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: you know what the thing that's concerned is that, you know,

713
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: the first game against the Jets got off to a

714
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: slow start, and we got off to a fast start,

715
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: and now we're kind of in the middle of you know, man,

716
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: the Symphis and Nati Bengals. You know, it's you know,

717
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: we've heard it before, kind of like that trap game,

718
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: you know. But you know, I think they definitely have

719
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: to you know, they definitely have to put together four

720
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: quarters of really good football on offense, defensive speciality, uh,

721
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: in order to be successful for the rest of the year.

722
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, these slow starts and fast starts or whatever.

723
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: Just it's not good for really a young quarterback to

724
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: be put in that position. But you know, he's handled

725
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: it's very very well, and it's just hope against the

726
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: fingers that they can put together four good quarters of football. Well,

727
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, this is another home opener for the for

728
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: the Bills, and you know, if you've been through a

729
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: bunch of them as a now since you've retired, of

730
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: course as a player, do you have any favorite opening

731
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: day memories at home opening day memory? Oh? Man, I

732
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: mean there I'm talking about home openers of course. Yeah.

733
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's been a lot, you know, I

734
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,959
Speaker 1: mean over the twelve years that I was there, I think, yeah,

735
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: I can't even remember if this was a home opener, um,

736
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: I think it was against the Dolphins ninety two or

737
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: ninety one, where one like thirty five to thirty one.

738
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: I think that was the home opener. Jim got hurt,

739
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: Murf's looking at up and Murf looking it up. Ninety three.

740
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: But y'all taking a long time. You're on your own

741
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: on this one. Ninety one. The Bills opened up at

742
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: home September one and beat the Dolphins thirty five to

743
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: thirty one. Is that what you're thinking of? Ask what

744
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of. I'm like, knew I was right. Yeah,

745
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: you knew we were right? Yeah, Yeah, I knew it right. Yeah,

746
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: you know that's kind of my memory. I mean, I really,

747
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you don't win for seventeen years, there's

748
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: not really a lot of whole openers that you can remember.

749
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just let's just be truthful about it.

750
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: And so you know, you have to kind of go

751
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: back to I can't for kind of go back to

752
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: where we're playing, so you know, and I just moved

753
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: back there back in two thousand and seven, so I'm

754
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: not really kind of updated on all the other stuff,

755
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: right them. If you were talking to if you're let's

756
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,479
Speaker 1: say you're talking to the motor Devin Singletary this week,

757
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 1: what would you And he's getting ready for his first

758
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: regular season home game, if he plays, he's been out

759
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: a couple of days of practice. But if any rookie,

760
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: what would you tell them about playing at home in

761
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: newer Field, in the stadium min Archer Park? What do

762
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: you think they need to know? What get rid of

763
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: for some loud noise? Man, you know the crowd is

764
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna be on your side. I mean, obviously, Murph, if

765
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: you're coming in here oh and two, it'll be a

766
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: different story. But you're coming in here two and oh.

767
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: And people are really excited about this year, you know.

768
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: I just I just in an app board in Atlanta

769
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: giving head the Flight of Florida, and some guy looked

770
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: at me and we're going to the super Bowl this year, baby,

771
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah right, pump the brakes. You know,

772
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: people are excited, and they have a reason to be exciting.

773
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know we're we're off to a

774
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: two and oh start. Obviously, you know the defense is

775
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: playing very very well. But I think these younger players,

776
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, if they think it if

777
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: they win this bootball football game this week and they

778
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: think it's loud. Wait till the following week against the

779
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: Page just when they come in there. But but not

780
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: to look ahead, you know, just go out, enjoy it,

781
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: do your assignment. Don't get caught up in all the

782
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: noise or whatever. Go out and play your game. You know.

783
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: For the younger guys, you know, you have the older

784
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: guys who have been there before. Micah hi Joyau, Jordan Poy,

785
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: you know those guys. You know, Dave Jones, you know,

786
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: for Colebs and Josh Brown. Those guys have been there before.

787
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: So I think it's very very uh that the that

788
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: the younger players have to rely on the veteran players

789
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: who understand what's going on. Uh in New Airfield comes Sunday, Well, Thurm,

790
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, Devin Singletary's out with a hamstring.

791
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: If he couldn't go, I don't know if he will

792
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: or not. He's just he's he's not practicing again today.

793
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: But if it's Frank Gore, if it's t J. Yelden

794
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: and uh DeMarco Um, is that enough running by? I mean,

795
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: is you know what do you have have? What do

796
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: you think about that going in with just two running

797
00:37:52,160 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: backs carrying the ball. Well, uh, you know, Thurman walked

798
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: into a tunnel. I mean, you're there, Thurm. I think

799
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: we lost the connection with him. All right, we're gonna

800
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: try to get back back to him. Yeah, I'm gonna

801
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: ask him. I couldn't spit that out, but I want

802
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: to see first of all, Yeah, there you go, you're

803
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: there Thurman, sort of what did you do? Stay in

804
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: one spot? Bro? We lost him against Well, you're gonna

805
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: want to first one. I know what you want thinks

806
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: about Devin Singletary, how he's playing. Also about what do

807
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,479
Speaker 1: you think about Frank Gore playing a sixteen year event?

808
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: And uh, has there been any surprises about those guys

809
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: thus far in the season. They've ran it pretty well

810
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: after not being able to do it at all last year.

811
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: I think that's a big change. I want to hear

812
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: what Thurman has to say about what else were we

813
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: gonna talk about? Well, in Thurman's prime and it's along

814
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: the same lines, he of course had the great relationship

815
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 1: and a great um, a great thing going with Kenny Davis.

816
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: Right as far as how splitting reps and splitting carries

817
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: this looks like it gonna be a little bit different,

818
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: at least early here in the season. And again, Singletary's

819
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: availability for Sunday is in question now after he's missed

820
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: a couple of days. But I wonder what Thurman thinks

821
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: about that when you're essentially, as Brandon Bean said, they

822
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: would be going into the year, they're gonna be a

823
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: running back by committee. It appears that's the way it's

824
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: gonna be. Do we have Thurman yet? Apparently not quite? Yeah?

825
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: How about Thurman just walk walking around his house? Probably? Yeah,

826
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: all right, Well, we'll try to get back the Thurma.

827
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break here, we'll come back and

828
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: if we have time, we'll get back with Thurman Thomas,

829
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: a Hall of famer coming back with us. It is

830
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health Line from the

831
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio, and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back.

832
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: I believe we have re establis contact with Hall of

833
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: Fame running back Thurman Thomas. Thurman, are you there? Come in? Thurman?

834
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: Beep beep, Thurman Thomas, come in. Thurman. Now he's now

835
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: he's given us a joke and it's not happening noways

836
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: is giving us a silent treatment. That was salid. All right, Okay,

837
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: Thurman's killing us. Hey are a couple of weeks in

838
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: a row. I sent him the bad text last last week, remember, yeah,

839
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: it's down then and then he actually came on the

840
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: show like normal, yea, after I said I should have

841
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: sent him a text. Let's take a phone call that

842
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: we think we can get in the air, Dick and depew, Dick,

843
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: are you there? Go ahead? Hello, Yeah, I'm here. I

844
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: just want to make one comment. And guys, I was

845
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: gonna mention it before because you're stressing so much about

846
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: the home field advantage, and this week, nobody more than me,

847
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: a fifty one year season ticket holder and the Bills

848
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: wants to see a win. However, last week, hen home

849
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: team's lost out of sixteen. Yeah, wow, that's right. I

850
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: didn't realize the one tune around the road. Obviously, I

851
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: don't have the numbers in front of me. Home team's

852
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: usually golf, the Steelers, Giants, Redskins, and man here come

853
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: to ten. There you go. What's the percentage of do

854
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: you know home teams versus road teams winning? Do you

855
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: know that number? Dick? Longer term than us. Last week,

856
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: look this up on the computers to verify. But first,

857
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: for some silly reason, every week I checked this to

858
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: see if the own things win or loose. And when

859
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: I saw it ten this week, I said, Hey, that's

860
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: something that's phenomenal. That's work. You gotta play well. And

861
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: that's the point I tried to make. And there is

862
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: a home field advantage. And and it's not just Buffalo,

863
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: it's across the league, I believe, and I think in

864
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo's case the point I was making to Steve when

865
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: we went on the air about forty five minutes ago,

866
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes ago, They're gonna have to play well. They

867
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: can't just roll it out there and say we got

868
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: this one. Because the Bengals have weapons on offense in

869
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: the passing game, they have mix and I'll redistoring the

870
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: update coming up here. Joe Mixon, who led the conference

871
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: in rushing last year, says, it's on me why we're

872
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: owing two. I gotta do better. He's getting better with

873
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: his ankle. He's going to be ready to go. Yes,

874
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: they have issues up front on the offensive line. Yes,

875
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: their defense looks porous on the back end, especially they

876
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: do have you know the guys up front, Gino Atkins

877
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: and Carlos Dunlap on their defense. My point is their

878
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 1: weapons there in the Cincinnati Bengals, and they're desperate, which

879
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: I think is always a factor, right who's the most

880
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: desperate team? I think measure that somehow that would go

881
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: a long way towards predicting who's gonna win. Well. To

882
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: put it simply, it's only a home field advantage if

883
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: being at home helps you play well or play better

884
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: in some way. Most teams are more comfortable there. It's

885
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 1: easier to play well in a positive environment where everybody's

886
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: cheering for you, where you know they cheer your moves

887
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: instead of the other teams moves. You know, it sounds crazy,

888
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: but it's true. It's the human condition. And but obviously

889
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: from our caller just now, ten of those teams couldn't

890
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: get it done last week at home. It's not a

891
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: given that you're going to play well enough to win.

892
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: The team coming in has something to say about it.

893
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: And some teams play better on the road, play well

894
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: on the road, so you got to be ready for

895
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: that too. So it yeah, it's fun for us to

896
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: have our team play at home. That doesn't mean it's

897
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: better for them unless it helps them play well, and

898
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees that it does either of those. Yep,

899
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: let's take one more call here in this segment as

900
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: we head to the top of the hour, Adam calling

901
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: from Jamestown. Go ahead, Adam, you're on the air, he man,

902
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: are you goood good? Hey? What do you guys expect

903
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: out of the rookies this this coming home over guys

904
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: like Devin's singletary, if he's able to play at all

905
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: at Oliver, what do you guys expect out of those guys.

906
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: I think they're going to continue to play well. I

907
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: think Ed has played really well so far. I think

908
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: Ed is gonna this may be a time where Ed

909
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: Oliver has a really good game. The offensive line of

910
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals is struggled. This is where you would expect

911
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: if Ed's gonna be a really good pro, if this

912
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: team's gonna take a really big step or has taken

913
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: a step and we haven't been able to see it

914
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: because they've played some pretty good offensive lines or okay,

915
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: offensive lines. This is a game where you expect them

916
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: to be able to dominate because this is an offensive

917
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: line that is in tatters right now early at this

918
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: point of the week. Now, they may get it together

919
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: by Sunday, they may get a couple of guys healthy

920
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: or whatever. But if they don't, this is an offensive

921
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: line where this team this year, the expectations should be

922
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: that they dominate and that starts with guys like ed Oliver,

923
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: Starlot tu Lele and Jerry Hughes and those guys on

924
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: the defensive line. So yeah, I would expect ed Oliver

925
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: if give if things progress as it looks like you're

926
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: going to, ed Oliver's should have a really big day.

927
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he will, We'll see, but this

928
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: is a time when if he's gonna flex, this is

929
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: the day, this is the game to do it. More rookies,

930
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: Cody Ford be interesting to watch him see if I

931
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: don't think his development has been as strong as ed

932
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: Oliver's at this early early stage of the season, but

933
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: I do think the Bills are committed to getting him snaps.

934
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: It's a pretty uh, it's pretty um regular rotation, it seems,

935
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: between Ty and Secky and Cody Ford. We'll see if

936
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: that continues this week and the tight ends. I think

937
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: I have a role to play, right and we'll see

938
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: what they do if Tyler Eiffert's ready to go, if

939
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: if both rookie tight ends are active and up ready

940
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. But either way, whether it's a

941
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: Sweeney or Knox, one of those two and maybe both

942
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: of them have a role to play in the offense

943
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: if they're going to be successful. That's right. We got

944
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: plenty of rookies that are contributing in the first couple

945
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: of weeks. Knox and Sweeney are big, big parts of that.

946
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: Not just you know, they caught a couple of balls,

947
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: but they're blocking really well in the run game. We've

948
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: seen them get out in front. We saw Knox lead

949
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: Singletary into the end zone in New York against the Giants.

950
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: We've seen you know, Sweeney be out there. Sweeney's not

951
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: taking as many snaps as Knox is getting. But you know,

952
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: these tight ends are gonna be contributors to Cody Forward

953
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: is a regular contributor, Ed Oliver is an important contributor.

954
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: I would say, so, yeah, it's a good question, Adam

955
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: about you know, you wonder what they're gonna do, if

956
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna take a step forward. My question is I

957
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: think there's a couple of positions. They're most notably at Oliver.

958
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 1: Like I said, who you would expect to this week?

959
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: Thank Youah, go ahead, Adam, you have one more thing. No,

960
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: thanks to Adam. We're gonna take a break. We're gonna

961
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: have another hour and we'll see if we can put

962
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: this hour together. Coming up Jake Delagala, product of Hamburg

964
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: the third string quarterback in after the first two weeks,

965
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: but he may have a role to play in this

966
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: Sunday's game. We'll talk with him from Cincinnati when we return.

00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: and tell me that story just before the break. Karius

1020
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: Strimsky and his grandson throughout Mike throughout the first pitch. Now,

1021
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,240
Speaker 1: of course, Carler Strimsky is a great player for the

1022
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: Red Stars and his son Mike now plays for the

1023
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: Red sign No plays for the San Francisco Giant. Oh

1024
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: does he plays the Giants? Okay? I knew that he

1025
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: homered in Fenway the other night, Yes, when he came back,

1026
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: and so that would have been Tuesday Nightie Homer. So

1027
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: it's funny. I was watching this or not watching the game,

1028
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: but saw some recaps of today. Carlia Stramsky is introduced

1029
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: by the way at Fenway as the second greatest Red

1030
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: Sox player of all time? Isn't that something? And I

1031
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: thought what? And I said, of course, Ted Williams right,

1032
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: he'd be the greatest red side wall. Yes, that's not

1033
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: something I would do, right, But so he's introduced and

1034
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: he comes out. He throws out the first pitch to

1035
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: his grandson, Mike Stramsky, outfielder for the San Francisco Giants.

1036
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: Caught the I mean, never, rarely anyway do you see

1037
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: a player from an opponent, opposing team get involved in

1038
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: the game's first pitch, But it happened last night. Yaz

Speaker 1: looks great wearing that number eight. White haired Yazz hugs

1040
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: his grandson, Mike Stramsky, who was I think I read

1041
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: he's twenty four years old. He's kind of labored his

1042
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: way through the minors and got a chance here in

1043
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: September with the San Francisco Giants. Stremski hit the home

1044
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: run to center field a couple of nights ago, and

1045
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: Yaz was there for that too, and and throughout the

1046
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: first pitch last night. It's really three. Yeah. So the

Speaker 1: gonna say how many tickets you have to get or

1071
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,359

1072
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: I think everybody got tickets back home, but UM, I

1073
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: think the number is up where upwards of like twenty,

1074
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: So there's there's quite a few people coming. Will congratulations,

00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: what six months ago for the pro day for you

00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 1: be you were in that because because you're a local

1079

Speaker 1: guy and you fit into that criteria or whatever the

1080

00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,919
Speaker 1: us about the whirlwind of the last six months and

1082
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: now that you ended up as a professional athlete there

1083
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati on the Bengals. Um, well we'll start there.

1084
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean that pro day, Um, the local day we had.

1085
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: It was I was able to you know, UM actually

1086
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: go to the University of Buffalos pro day, which was

1087
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: great for me. Um. I was able to showcase what,

1088
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, what I was able to do. And UM,

1089
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: from there, everything I just kind of picked up. Um.

1090
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: The draft was right around the corner, and UM, you know,

1091
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: I just got a lot of good feedback from that day.

1092
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: It was. It was the pro day important do you

1093
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: think to your prospects? Jacob not drafted obviously, but there

1094
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: are enough pro scouts here that you probably made a

1095
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: pretty good impression with the way you threw that day

1096
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: in the pro day here. Yeah, of course. Um, you know,

1097
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: Tyree was a very sought after um in the draft,

1098
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: and you know, for me to be able to throw

1099
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: right after him, I think that was a good thing

1100
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: for those those scouts to be able to you know,

1101
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: kind of compare us and you know, see see what

1102
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: you know what I was made. Oh basically, so you

1103
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: got a chance to land with the Cincinnati Bengals. What

1104
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: why why the Bengals? I know you probably had more

1105
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: than one team that was interested in you. What did

1106
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals offer that that appealed to you? Aside from

1107
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: the obvious? I mean, it was just I think, there's

1108
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: this is the best opportunity I had. Um, you know,

1109
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: this was one of a couple of teams that wanted me.

1110
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: But I think here, um, you know, I get to

1111
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 1: learn from you know, a great quarterback like Andy Dalton,

1112
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: and um, you know we had they had some younger

1113
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: guys in here to begin with. I think I just

1114
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: had a really good opportunity with you know, a new

1115
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: head coach coming in a new offense. We were kind

1116
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: of all starting up together. Um, so I thought that

1117
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: was a good fit for me. What's head coach Zach Taylor.

1118
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean his success with quarterbacks out in West had

1119
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: to be something that you counted as a plus right

1120
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 1: in the category of reasons to go to the Bengals.

1121
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: I would think, Yeah, I really, uh, you know, I

1122
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: having watched you know, a lot of the Rams film

1123
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: last year, I was really you know, intrigued by their offense.

1124
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: I thought it fit my game very well. And you know,

1125
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: I think Jared Goff and I are kind of comparable

1126
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: and what we in our styles of game, I should say. So,

1127
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: you know, Zach bringing you know a lot of what

1128
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: they did there to hear um, you know, it was

1129
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: a huge intriguing factor over the past few years. I've

1130
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: had a chance, and I know Murph had a chance

1131
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: this last off season to meet and talk with Andy Dalton.

1132
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: I've met him on a number of occasions. I think

1133
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: the world of him. How has he been to you know,

1134
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of get behind watch how he does his work.

1135
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: He's an established veteran quarterback. He's been in the playoffs

1136
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: a number of times. What does that meant to you. Oh,

1137
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: it's it's huge. I mean, and he's such a professional

1138
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: about what he does, um day in and day out.

1139
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's just a great He's a great person

1140
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: to begin with. And then you know, he just goes

1141
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: about his business in the correct manner. And you know,

1142
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: I take a lot of what he does and jotted

1143
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: down to say the least. Jake Toobagalla, our guest. He

1144
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: is a quarterback on the roster of the Cincinnati Bengals,

1145
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: third string quarterback and not playing in the first couple

1146
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 1: of games. But you, like everybody else in your quarterback room,

1147
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: has to feel pretty good about the production that the

1148
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: passing game has come up with these first two games.

1149
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: I would think, Jake, huh yeah, I mean we've done

1150
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: We've done decent job. You know, we'd like to get

1151
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: that run game going a little bit, but you know,

1152
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: some of the looks are seeing, you know, aren't really

1153
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: fitting our eye. But you know, I think we're gonna

1154
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 1: get that turned around this week. Tell me about our buddy,

1155
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: Alex Van Pelt, your quarterback coach. And now Alex is

1156
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: at the point of his career where he could be

1157
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: considered a veteran quarterback coach. Right, he's been around it,

1158
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: He's been around the track a few times. Yeah, Alex

1159
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: is the best. You know, he's another guy who just

1160
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: goes about his business, um so professionally, but you know,

1161
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: he keeps it light harder in the room, and um,

1162
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: I think that's a great learning environment for for us

1163
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: young guys. Because Alex talk about his radio days doing

1164
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: radio with me years ago, Jacob or Yeah, yeah, he

1165
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: mentioned that a couple of times. But you know, he

1166
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: loves Buffalo so much, so it's gonna be a little

1167
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: bit of a homecoming for him to absolutely, no question.

1168
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: So what this room that you're in with, You got

1169
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of good guys. You got guys with some

1170
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo roots here as well, Uh like yourself. You guys

1171
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: must have some things to talk about outside the quarterback

1172
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 1: room about your path to the NFL and and Alex

1173
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: van Pelt's time here is a quarterback and a quarterback

1174
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 1: coach and an offensive coordinator here. Of course, the connection

1175
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,720
Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton here to Buffalo that he got from

1176
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: throwing the touchdown pass against Baltimore two years ago. I mean,

1177
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things tying these two. You're you

1178
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: here to Buffalo. He must have lots of conversations about

1179
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: that this week. Yeah, we do. We have been. Um,

1180
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a great conversation throughout you know,

1181
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: throughout the week and uh, you know, just reminiscent on

1182
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, you know, our favorite restaurants in Buffalo or um.

1183
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: You know what impact Andy had, Um, you know two

1184
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: years ago it was it was quite special. But yeah,

1185
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, those have been good conversations we've had. Yeah,

1186
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: I bet Andy knows this. We could probably eat and

1187
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: drink for free in Buffalo this weekend if he wants. Yeah,

1188
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: he could do whatever he want. Yeah, you can eat, Yeah,

1189
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: you can eat. He can drink for sure. They'll let

1190
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 1: him do that. Hopefully he's hungover on Sunday. So what

1191
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 1: do you what's the outside perception? I know, you guys

1192
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: have got him to Rocky starting O and two. You

1193
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 1: really almost can't. You came close to pulling it out

1194
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: on the road in Seattle, one of the toughest venues,

1195
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: uh in the NFL. You know, you got another tough

1196
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: venue here in Buffalo. What's the vibe coming out of

1197
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: your locker room about your own you know, getting on

1198
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: track and playing as well as you can play well.

1199
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: I think as a team we're very very close. Um.

1200
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 1: You know, if we look at last week, you know

1201
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: there was we were in the right spots on d

1202
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: sense to make plays, and you know, sometimes we just

1203
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: didn't make them. And as far as offense goes, there's

1204
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, there's plays we're leaving there out there on

1205
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: the field, and you know, I think if we can

1206
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: clean some of the stuff up and complete a full game,

1207
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: you know we'll be successful. Jake, a little bit about

1208
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: your background. Tell us how you got to Central Connecticut

1209
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: State from Saint Francis with like an interim stop in there,

1210
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: and what was going on back then. It wasn't an

1211
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: easy transition, right, You had a pretty serious injury in

1212
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: high school, I believe, right, yeah, I did. So, you know,

1213
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: I didn't really get a shot to play on varsity

1214
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: at Saint Francis till my senior year. You know, I

1215
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: shared time junior year with m Brian Mollis, But then

1216
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: senior year was supposed to be my year. And you know,

1217
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: first two games in I was doing very well. At

1218
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: third game we went down played Cathedral Prep and Erie

1219
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: and um, I threw a tip tip pick and I

1220
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: went to go MC tackle and it was kind of

1221
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: a fluke thing, but I tore my labor on my

1222
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: throwing shoulder. And from there I had to go to

1223
00:57:53,760 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 1: Milford Academy with Bill Chaplick, the coach there, and I

1224
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: had a great you know, I broke some records there.

1225
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: I had a great season, and you know, I had

1226
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of interests from uh, you know, a wealth

1227
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: of schools, but UM Central was the only school that

1228
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 1: you know, kind of stuck with me and actually offered

1229
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: me a scholarship. So you know, I took an Iran.

1230
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: And I know there's another local guy, Jimmy Kubiak who

1231
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: we've had on the show, kind of a quarterback guru

1232
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: here locally. He played a role in your development during

1233
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: some of this time, didn't he of course. Yeah, Jim

1234
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: Kubiak and John Shabetta. Those are my two. I two

1235
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: go two guys back home. Um you know, I I

1236
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: give pretty much home my credit to them as far

1237
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: as you know where I am today, And um, I

1238
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: know they don't want to hear that, but it's true.

1239
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be where I am without them. Yeah, Shabetta,

1240
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: it must be tough for him, to coach you, I

1241
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: know he's like five feet zero tall and you're six

1242
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: You're six six. Uh. That has your time at Central

1243
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: Connecticut though. You you're really your career is a testament

1244
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: to um, you know, making lemonade out of lemons. I mean,

1245
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: you had the fortunate injury to your shoulder at the

1246
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: worst possible moment for a high school kid. What would

1247
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: what would you tell a young Jake Dolagala now, uh,

1248
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: the day after he hurt his shoulder as a senior

1249
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: at Saint Francis. Um, Well, you know it was rough

1250
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: there for a while, you know, not knowing whether that

1251
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: you know I was gonna be able to throw a

1252
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: ball again, right, Um, But you know I'd just tell

1253
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: myself to stick with it. You know, you got you

1254
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: got great support around here from my family to all

1255
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,959
Speaker 1: my coaches. UM, and just never give up on your dream,

1256
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: which is you know kind of what I did. Um,

1257
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: never gave up on it. And you know here I

1258
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: am and Jake, the dream kind of came true the

1259
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: summer right preseason. Amazing preseason performances for you, seventy percent

1260
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: completion percentage in preseason games, two touchdown snow interceptions. It

1261
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: all kind of came together. The preseason reps you got

1262
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: this summer right, Yeah, for having limited reps you know

1263
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: in uh, you know, OTAs and in training camp, I

1264
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: thought I did a decent job, you know when when

1265
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: my number was called, Well, you had to think that

1266
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: as well, because usually a third, a third quarterback, maybe

1267
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: a practice squad guy or something like that. The Bengals

1268
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: knew that after your performance throughout your preseason appearances, you

1269
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't last on a practice squad. It's got to make

1270
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: you feel really good. Did you get any feedback from

1271
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: maybe from your agent or from other people around the

1272
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: league that if you decided, if the Bengals were gonna

1273
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: let you go, that you were gonna be snatched up

1274
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: by anybody else. No, I really didn't get any hints

1275
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: from anything like that. But you know, it goes to

1276
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: show that this organization, you know, you know, has a

1277
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: lot of faith in me, and they believe that I

1278
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: couldn't become something, you know, in the near future. So

1279
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, I just give all the credit to them,

1280
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: and I'm very appreciative of it. Last thing I have

1281
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: for you, Jake coming to Buffalo this weekend. You've been

1282
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 1: inactive the first two weeks. What do they have you

1283
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: doing as you're the inactive third quarterback in these games,

1284
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: you're on the sidelines, I presume, on the headset or

1285
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: what are they got you doing? Yeah? Yeah, I'm on

1305
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,200

Speaker 1: Galla and Van Pelt and maybe even Andy Dalton, who

1307
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: spend some time. We're about where to get chicken wings

Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Right, it's got the best place, right, exactly,

1311
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: That asta, right, that's always the thing. But yeah, Alex

1312
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 1: van Pell's been in Buffalo for has spent a ton

1313
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: of time here, played here for what eight years? We

1314
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: said nine nine? Yeah, we were looking almost a decade

1315
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: here as a backup to Jim Kelly. Came in when

1316
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: Frank Reich went to U Carolina in the expansion draft,

1317
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: and he was here for a longer. Played in the

1318
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: playoff game. I played with him, I was in the

1319
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: huddle with him. Alex was a really good, underrated quarterback.

1320
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: He was gonna be the starter in Buffalo, and that

1321
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: was at the time when they traded for Drew Brees

1322
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots, and he came over and

1323
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Alex became his backup, and then he was a coach here.

1324
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: He drew Bledsoe. What Who'd I say? Drew Brees drew

1325
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:49,439
Speaker 1: Bledsoe here, and then he was a quarterbacks coach, went around,

1326
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: bounced around a little bit, came back as a quarterback coach,

1327
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: and then got elevated to the offensive coordinator's job for

1328
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: a year. He's a veteran NFL coach. And I was

1329
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: in Green Bay for a number of years as well.

1330
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,640

01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,439
Speaker 1: next five home games five out of the next six

1363
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: at home? Here it is from William He says, I

1364
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: wanted to say three just because I'm not sure who

1365
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles are right now. Heck, we're gonna find out

1366
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: who the Bills are after the Patriots game. If they

1367
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 1: play New England tough, make it a close game. We

1368
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: definitely win the other games. So, like I said earlier, Murphy, yeah,

1369
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: this is the yardstick game. The Patriot game is the

1370
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: yardstick game for most of these people. Now I got

1371
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:01,919
Speaker 1: to read this one from Big Multi ready for don't

1372
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: let the Patriots become your yard Still, I won't listen

1373
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: to this. This is this is the this is why

1374
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: we do this show right here? M okay for this? Yeah,

1375
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: here we go. How many wins will the Bills getting

1376
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: the next five home games? From Big Malti, he says five.

1377
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: No one beats us at home this year. New England

1378
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: is in for a world or hurt come Week four.

1379
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: They've played terrible teams and they don't have an answer

1380
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: for our onslaught Go Bills, Big Multi, Big ups for

1381
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: Big Multi. Yeah, Patriots have beaten a couple of bad teams.

1382
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: This just in Steve Bills have beating a couple of

1383
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: bad teams. Also, they really beaten mediocre teams, not bad teams.

1384
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: They got bad after we played them. They're bad. The

1385
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: Jets weren't bad until we played them. They're now. They

1386
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: had Darnald, they had Levette, Levion Belle, they had all

1387
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: those guys, and they had C. J. Mosley. Now they

1388
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: don't have any of those guys, and yeah, now they're bad. Hey,

1389
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: can I go back to Dolagla for a second. I'm

1390
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: sorry segment. I can't get over this. And maybe it's

1391
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: my status as a relatively new grandparent. Yeah, that's stuff

1392
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: with Karliastremsky and his grandson last night at Fenway got

1393
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: me this morning. I was like, look at that. And

1394
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: then right before Golda Galla comes on the air with

1395
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: us today, I'm thinking the same kind of things happening here.

1396
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: I looked at up Albie Miller never played in the Stadium,

1397
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: then rich Stadium. He's last year with the Bills was

1398
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: sixty nine, but he's a mainstay. He's one of the

1399
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: all time great Bills. On the AFL championship teams, he

1400
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: won a national championship Syracuse. Albie Miller was a great,

1401
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: great football player here in Buffalo and in college at Syracuse,

1402
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: then went on to teach and work around here, still

1403
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,439
Speaker 1: lives around here. But for him, I got to thinking

1404
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: about him, and I related it to Karliastremsky. Go look

1405
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: on Karliastremsky's face last night when he went out to

1406
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 1: throw the first pitch to his grandson, Mike Yastremsky. I mean,

1407
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: can you imagine hugs his grandson and then throws the

1408
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: first pitch to him. Just a wonderful moment at Fenway

1409
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: last night. I really got to kick out of that,

1410
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, what can you do this week? I

1411
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: don't know, you probably can't do anything with Albi Miller,

1412
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: and especially you know the fact that Dola Galla's third stringer.

1413
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: But just a really cool story. I think the Yatramsky

1414
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: story was cool last night. And I think Dola Gala

1415
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: coming home to his home and playing in the and

1416
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: for the team against the team where his grandfather was

1417
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: an all timer. That's just a cool story. It is

1418
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: a getting up, No, not at all. And I told

1419
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: you this yesterday that al b Miller was on the

1420
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 1: sidelines with our team all through the runs that we

1421
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: made to the Super Bowl. He was the sideline security

1422
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,439
Speaker 1: for Marv Levy before and after the game. He would

1423
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: he was there all the time. But when the game

1424
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: was about to be over, the game was just started,

1425
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: Al was standing beside Marv to escort him off the field.

1426
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: I always thought it was fitting that an old player,

1427
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: they put an old player down there, And now was

1428
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: that guy, and and uh, that's how I got to

1429
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: know him, and I you know, we found out. I

1430
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: found a subsequent letters said, you know from Ed Abramowski

1431
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: and those guys. Yeah, well Al he used to be playing.

1432
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: And then pay then I found out how good a

1433
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: player he was and so and he's he's a Buffalo fixture.

1434
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: So grandson's coming back to play, and you're nice sitting here.

1435
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: We're brand new at that grandfather thing, right, exact. Mean

1436
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: I was on duty last night, you know, right, chasing

1437
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 1: them around. My grandkids are a long way away from

1438
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: being anywhere near a professional athlete. I mean, but you

1439
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: got to think about what that would feel like. Yeah, right,

1440
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: that's that's what gets me. Stram Sea last night or

1441
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: be Miller this weekend. Think what a gift feel like, Yeah,

1442
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 1: what a gift that would be. Do you think can

1443
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: you hear the radios turn off when we mentioned the

1444
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: people that we're both grandfathers. Anybody under the age of

1445
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 1: forty right now is like click, I'm not listening to

1446
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 1: those two. He's the old guy. Those guys cool story.

1447
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 1: That's all shut up, old man. How many wins will

1448
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: the Bills get in the next five home games? Five

1449
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: of the next six or at home? You know that.

1450
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: How many wins will they get? Let us know what

1451
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 1: you think. We'll get to the tweet sheet in a moment.

1452
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 1: Will take a call or two? Patrick calling from Rochester.

1453
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Patrick, you're on the air. Hey, how are

1454
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: you doing? Okay? Great? Um, okay, you got a bear

1455
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: with me a second. I actually have a question, uh

1456
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: about football. It's kind of Steve. You played wide receiver

1457
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: and you know the rules pretty well at the end

1458
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: of at the end of a game. That's where I

1459
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: don't understand. At the end of a game. Let's say

1460
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: the Bills score, they score in Cincinnati this weekend, and

1461
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: there's forty seconds left in the game. Okay, they're up

1462
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: two points. Okay, so these teams go in prevent defense,

1463
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: and they left the team kind of put the ball

1464
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 1: down the field, put it in the middle, try hopefully

1465
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: they don't go out of bounds. Put in the middle.

1466
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Why does a team not just grab the wide receiver

1467
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: when the plays starts? Ten seconds would probably run off

1468
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: the clock and you get a five yard penalty. You

1469
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: do that three times, there's not gonna be no time

1470
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 1: left on the clock and the most of you're gonna

1471
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: lose is fifteen yards. Right. Here's why I would think,

1472
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: and I get your question. I get your question, because

1473
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: there would be it would take because the clock would

1474
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: stop after the play, and most of the time that

1475
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 1: is run off during those last seconds of the half

1476
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: or the game are between plays, the clock keeps running.

1477
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: The idea is to keep them in bounds or whatever. Now,

1478
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: if they had timeouts or whatever, I might get your point.

1479
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: But if they don't have any timeouts, then most of

1480
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 1: the time is going to run off between the plays,

1481
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: not during the play. And if the penalty the play

1482
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: would stop, that clock would stop. Yeah. Well, like Houston,

1483
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 1: New Orleans did the Sunday night game. Yep, he scored

1484
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 1: and there's thirty two seconds left, and so Drew Briddy,

1485
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any timeouts. He goes down fifty yards

1486
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 1: in thirty two seconds and they kick fifty eight yard

1487
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: field going to win. If Houston just grabs the guy

1488
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: after five seconds and just grabs them even eight seconds

1489
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 1: he does at three times, they're only in fifteen yards. Well,

1490
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: that's if it's a holding penalty. If it's a if

1491
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 1: it's a past interference penalty, then it's a spot foul

1492
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: and they get the and they get the play. Yeah,

1493
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,520
Speaker 1: but you have to throw it quickly I'm talking, yeah,

1494
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: or to be just too hard for Could a receiver

1495
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: get off a defa Is it too much of a

1496
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: risk where he could actually the guy doesn't grab me,

1497
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: he goes by him. Yeah, I mean that's that's a

1498
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: possibility too. I mean there's as many things that can

1499
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: go wrong with any play as there are other plays

1500
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: as well. So I get where you're saying, try and

1501
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: I and there is a Yeah, there's a lot of

1502
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: ways you can kind of get around that if you

1503
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: if you if the situation is right, But you know,

1504
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: I don't know I would. I would have a hard

1505
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 1: time finding the right scenario where you just tell your

1506
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: guys to tackle the other team and think it's gonna

1507
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: benefit you because the clock is going to run out

1508
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 1: on that play. Now, if the quarterback throws it out

1509
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: there right away, then it becomes a pass interference and

1510
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: even though he's not down, the field becomes a spot

1511
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: found an automatic first down. Who cares? Yeah, I mean,

1512
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: you've got a point. There's probably a certain scenario where

1513
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,759
Speaker 1: it probably would help you just to tackle those guys.

1514
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,600
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking that would be if it's on the

1515
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: last play of the game. You're giving them one more

1516
01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: untimed down on a defensive penalty as well, So us

1517
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: the clock runs completely out on that, If the clock

1518
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 1: runs completely out on that play, they're gonna get an

1519
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: untimed down. If it's not doesn't run out, there's no

1520
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 1: such play like that. So with forty seconds left or

1521
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: thirty seconds left, you might have a point, Patrick, you

1522
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: might have a point. Thanks for your call. How many

1523
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: wins you expect out of the Bills in the next

1524
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: five home games? Five of their next six games are

1525
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: at home. That's a lot and it's a great opportunity, Steve,

1526
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: really for them to, as I've said a couple of times,

1527
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: make hay right to get out of there in the barn. Yeah, question,

1528
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 1: Five of the next six games are at home games,

1529
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 1: and they've already weathered the storm with two straight roadies.

1530
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: We know how those went. We know they got wins there.

1531
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: We know they went to the same place and picked

1532
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: up two wins. But boy, if they can make something

1533
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: out of these next five home games, like five wins,

1534
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 1: four wins. They were in pretty good shape at mid season.

1535
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:49,600
Speaker 1: I think then they had to Cleveland to Miami and

1536
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: then they've got the Broncos back here. We'll see. They

1537
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. They got to take

1538
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 1: care of business this weekend. The home home cooking should help.

1539
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 1: They got off to the fast start. But it boils

1540
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 1: down to this murph and this is no I mean,

1541
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:09,799
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is so simple. It's almost

1542
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: embarrassing to say. They gotta play They gotta just continue

1543
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: to play good. They got to continue to play well.

1544
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 1: They got to get better in every way, shape and

1545
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: form they can. The other teams that they're playing are

1546
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: going to try and get better. This team last year,

1547
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 1: in the disaster that it turned into. Offensively for this

1548
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 1: team last year, they got better during the season with

1549
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, he got better, and then subsequently that the

1550
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: team got better, they dropped a couple of games they

1551
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't have dropped last year because they didn't play well enough.

1552
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: Even in that disaster of an offensive season they had

1553
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: last year, when their defense was so good, they still

1554
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: had a couple left a couple of games on the

1555
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: table there, and they were a team that every team

1556
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: on the schedule thought they should be. So this is

1557
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, it happens teams that are struggling still win games. Yeah,

1558
01:13:54,680 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: and teams that have struggled and their struggles, yeah, so's

1559
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: it's got to This is a mindset. The Bills have

1560
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: to say this, and this is about us. We gotta

1561
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: play well, we gotta get better, we gotta fix this up.

1562
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna shore that up. Let the results speak for themselves.

1563
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 1: If we're playing as good as we can play, we

1564
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: like our chances. We're gonna win. Yeah that we're gonna

1565
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: win our games. So I think that's where they have

1566
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: to stay. And this Bengals game is kind of the

1567
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: first shot they have at doing that. Hey, can I

1568
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 1: switch gears on you a little bit. We'll talk more

1569
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: about this, And we do have sand Neil coming up

1570
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: in practice. You want to talk about young quarterbacks. Yeah,

1571
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: this this is a good topic. Yeah it is. And

1572
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: it came up in our little pre show meeting. We

1573
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: do meet and talk about the show. It's not off

1574
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 1: the top of our heads. We don't do fat I

1575
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 1: can be in a session. So look at this. You

1576
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: know who got hurt last week? Right? All the quarterbacks

1577
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: are got hurt. Roethlisberger's out, Drew Brees with the thumb.

1578
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: There are tons of quarterbacks who got hurt. There are

1579
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,640
Speaker 1: others make considering changes. So after this week, right this

1580
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 1: week through the NFL, after this week, at least thirty

1581
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 1: eight different quarterbacks will have started a game this season.

1582
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 1: That would be a tie for the second most different

1583
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 1: starting quarterback through the third week since nineteen fifty. Not

1584
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: since nineteen fifty have thirty eight different quarterbacks started the

1585
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:09,799
Speaker 1: first three weeks of the season. And that the Panthers

1586
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: don't go with Cam Newton because he's a little bit

1587
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: banged up, and go with Kyle Allen, Kyle Allen, it

1588
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 1: will be thirty nine most starting quarterbacks through week three,

1589
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: thirty eight different quarterbacks will have started this season. After

1590
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: the Sunday, I think we're here's my point, Steve, and

1591
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: by the way, for a third straight week, a rookie

1592
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are gonna make his first start. Daniel Jones of

1593
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: the Giants as the guy starting for the Giants against

1594
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks. A couple of second year players making their

1595
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: first starts this week, Mason Rudolph in Pittsburgh, Luke Falk

1596
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: with the Jets. And by the way, people are not

1597
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 1: gonna like to hear this, but this week, Week three,

1598
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 1: eighteen years ago, there was an Owen two team in

1599
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: New England that decided to make a change and turned

1600
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: a second year quarterback, a six round draft pick who

1601
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 1: I think you know his name who they picked him

1602
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: to make his first start to replace he injured Drew Bleds.

1603
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 1: That guy was Tom Brady. They were owing two of

1604
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots. It was this week, Week three the Brady

1605
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: made his first start eighteen years ago. Here's the point.

1606
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 1: I think we are right now moving into a new

1607
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: era of NFL quarterbacks. Right. Breeze is hurt out at

1608
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 1: at least six weeks. Roethlisberger's out for the season. Peyton

1609
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 1: Manning retired a couple of seasons ago. Things are changing

1610
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL when it comes to quarterbacks, I believe,

1611
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: and I think we are seeing a new generation of

1612
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks coming into this game. And by the way,

1613
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: I think the Buffalo Bills are right at the front

1614
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: of the pack with Josh Allen as far as the

1615
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: new young breed of quarterback who we're kind of taking

1616
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: over the league, their next generation, no question. Think about this.

1617
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: I'll give you five guys and we know who they are.

1618
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: Ben Tom first names right, one named quarterbacks, right, Ben, Tom, Drew, Eli, Philip,

1619
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: and then he got fits who's in one name quarterback.

1620
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 1: Those guys have all been in a decade and a half, yeah,

1621
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: or more, and they're all and two or three of them.

1622
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:57,560
Speaker 1: Eli's out, Drew breezes out, Ben Roethlisberger's out, and this

1623
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: the first time they've been out in a you know,

1624
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: in a while. Right, you don't see those guys leave.

1625
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Ben's out for the season, Drew breedes out for a

1626
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: month and a half, and Eli indefinitely maybe forever. That

1627
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: those five guys day. Those guys have been the top

1628
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 1: of the ladder for a long long time. You take

1629
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: those guys off. Now, who's it's Pat Mahomes and who

1630
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and here comes in next, who is it? Well,

1631
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: that's what we're seeing here, comes in next, who is it?

1632
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:32,839
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Baker, Mayfield, Lamar Lamar Jacksonamar Jackson, and Baltimore.

1633
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 1: It's a whole new girl. Shawn Watson, Houston, Seahn Watson,

1634
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray in Arizona. We'll see about him. He's got

1635
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 1: some things to prove, but he's there. I mean, he

1636
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: takes a whole new generation of quarterbacks coming in. It's

1637
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: a whole new generation, and I think it's pretty exciting.

1638
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 1: And I do remember we were talking about this in

1639
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: our meeting earlier today. There was a time seven, eight,

1640
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 1: ten years ago when people said college football is not

1641
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: developing quarterbacks for the NFL anymore. They're developing a different

1642
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 1: breed of quarterbacks. Not gonna work. Something's got to change.

1643
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: They're not developing quarterbacks any more. Wrong. Wrong, I mean

1644
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: they are. They have developed quarterbacks. And here they are.

1645
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 1: They're right at our doorstep now, including one of them

1646
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: practicing about a couple hundred yards away. This week, at

1647
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: least eighteen quarterbacks who are aged twenty six or younger

1648
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: are expected to start. That's the most since nineteen eighty seven.

1649
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: You know in nineteen eighty seven, was that was the

1650
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:22,839
Speaker 1: previous great generation? Right? Nine? Three quarterbacks? Yeah, Marino, Kelly Elway,

1651
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: those guys. That group is gone, as they should be

1652
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,640
Speaker 1: thirty two years later. But here comes a whole new

1653
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: group of young quarterbacks twenty six or younger, many of

1654
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: them making their first start this week. Thirty nine what

1655
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: did I say? Thirty nine? Thirty eight different quarterbacks will

1656
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: have started this season, and if Cam Newton doesn't, it's

1657
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: thirty ninety nine. And that's a record. We got something

1658
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: going on here in the league, and it's worth mentioning,

1659
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 1: especially when people ten years ago we're saying, I don't

1660
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 1: know how the game will survive. The quarterbacks aren't being developed. Well,

1661
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: they have been developed, and here the league changes to

1662
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 1: accommodate the Yeah, there it's easier and not easier. Well,

1663
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 1: it's physically. They're protected more than they've ever been at

1664
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 1: any point in history. And it's been you know, people

1665
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: have criticized or whatever, but you know what hasn't helped

1666
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 1: all that much. You've got thirty eight guys taking snaps.

1667
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: Every team's got two or plus who have taken snaps,

1668
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: not ours, but every other team. How many. The Jets

1669
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: have got three who've taken them right. So you got

1670
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: these teams that are shuffle them in and out because

1671
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 1: of injury, because of poor play, because it's just the

1672
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 1: calendar says it's time for this guy to sit down.

1673
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:23,600
Speaker 1: Whatever reason there is, they're bringing these guys. You somebody,

1674
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,719
Speaker 1: somebody is gonna have to take snaps in the NFL,

1675
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 1: and they're gonna come from someplace. And you know, people

1676
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: who were saying, hey, the college game isn't gonna here

1677
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 1: they are. And I'll tell you what, Lamar Jackson can play,

1678
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: and so can Deshaun Watson, and so can Kyler Murray,

1679
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: and so can Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen. I think

1680
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: Sam Darnel can play. They got some guys and Trabisky

1681
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: in Chicago. You know, it's you know, and and of

1682
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: course then Pat Maholmes, who's the MVP and his third

1683
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: taking two games into a third year. Yeah, is what

1684
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 1: nineteenth start, twentieth start coming up? I mean, yeah, it's

1685
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: a new new generation. It's kind of it's fun. We

1686
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: hadn't thought about it at all. It wasn't even on

1687
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: our radar until you know, he saw Tweeter saw a

1688
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 1: status like wait a minute, it's we're on the cuspom

1689
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: of like a whole new face of players that are

1690
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 1: gonna be the NFL. You know, the great players, the

1691
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: star players, the guys that you know sell tickets. It's

1692
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: it's on us. It's all of a sudden. I think

1693
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: it's exciting. I think it's great that the Bills are

1694
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: right in the mix at the forefront, at least towards

1695
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 1: the front, with a former two second year first round

1696
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 1: draft pick who played pretty well through his first two games.

1697
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 1: He's made fromatic improvement over his rookie year. I'm talking

1698
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen. That's the fun part of it when

1699
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: you see things get better. I mean he went from

1700
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 1: fifty two to sixty five percent. Yep, that's big. And

1701
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 1: we talked about this and people want to say, well,

1702
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: he's he's much more accurate now. Well not necessarily. It's

1703
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 1: a different offense now, different targets, more time to throw, god,

1704
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: easier throws to make. Yeah, much easier throws to make,

1705
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: and he's doing it. So we just want to point

1706
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: that out when you sit down this Sunday and Monday

1707
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,640
Speaker 1: and look at the NFL and watch the Bills and

1708
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,680
Speaker 1: watch some other games. Think about who you're seeing and

1709
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:15,720
Speaker 1: playing quarterback. I think about who's not there. There's a

1710
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 1: lot of them not there. Obviously Breeze and Roethlisberger most

1711
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 1: notable this week, but all around the league, including Buffalo,

1712
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,200
Speaker 1: there's a whole new breed, a whole new generation of quarterbacks.

1713
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 1: So many of them very good. Eighteen of them twenty

1714
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: six years old or younger, which is pretty young, and

1715
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be I think, a good thing for

1716
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: the league. I think it's really good to see that

1717
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 1: happening around the NFL. I agree, and it's gonna be

1718
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: fun to see him develop. And it's a different league

1719
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: than it was when Eli Manning and Philip Rivers came

1720
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: into the league. Ben Roethlisberger in the league, it's a

1721
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: completely different place than when Tom Brady came into the league.

1722
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 1: The positions played a lot like it has always been,

1723
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: but the game around it has changed, and so has

1724
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: the ability of teams to pay these guys, and how

1725
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 1: they structure their contracts and franchise tags and all this

1726
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: stuff that's in play that that hasn't always been there

1727
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 1: through these guys careers, and how these young players you know,

1728
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: like like Tom, like Josh Allen, like Baker Mayfield and

1729
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and all these young guys and Patrick Mahomes.

1730
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: To see where the league changes throughout their careers is

1731
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: going to be fascinating fun. One more quarterback note, and

1732
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 1: this game yesterday from NFL Network Tom Brady as the

1733
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: Patriots gets set to play the Jets. Tom Brady was

1734
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: limited with a calf injury yesterday. Ian Rapperport says it

1735
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: was a minor injury. I'm not one of those looking

1736
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: ahead to the Patriots game next week, but that's something

1737
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. Right calf injury, A limited

1738
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: practice this week. Do they need him to beat the

1739
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:45,640
Speaker 1: Jets this week? They might not. They probably don't. I

1740
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: don't even want to go down now we're not talking

1741
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 1: about Patriots. I don't even want us. I don't even

1742
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: want to hear about it, because what will happen is

1743
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 1: he'll he'll sit down and then you know, you got

1744
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: to play the Patriots without Tom Brady. Then what kind

1745
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: of measuring stick is it? Yeah? Then what's a win?

1746
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 1: I don't care if I'm measuring said get the wins.

1747
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 1: We're breaking. We're coming back in a moment, surand Neil's

1748
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 1: going to join us when practice ends. We anticipate that'll

1749
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: be sometime in the next fifteen to twenty minutes or so.

1750
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: More discussion from you. We'd love to hear whatever you'd

1751
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: like to talk about, including our little quarterback rant there

1766
01:23:50,439 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: Live from the Seneca Studio on Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back,

1767
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: to the show, John Murphy and Steve Tasker here until

1768
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: three o'clock today, want to hear from you about these

1769
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: this next stretch. Look, it's it's not gravy, but it's

1770
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: like the meat of the schedule here coming up for

1771
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 1: the Bills the next six games, five of them at home.

1772
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: How many wins do you think they'll get out of

1773
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: those five home games? So you can vote on the

1774
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 1: Twitter poll or send in something to the tweet sheet.

1775
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 1: Tweet sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the

1776
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills. All right, let's go

1777
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,679
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet. Richie says five. Call me an optimist,

1778
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: but three out of those five games are games where

1779
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 1: you're supposed to win. The Bills are gaining confidence. I

1780
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 1: believe they can win. So it would surprise me. If

1781
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: they beat the Pets, it would surprise me, he writes.

1782
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 1: If they beat the Pets and Eagles in Orchard Park,

1783
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me. Is that what he means to say?

1784
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: What does it mean to have this early in the season,

1785
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 1: especially Steve? What does it mean for somebody to refer

1786
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: to games as games we are supposed to win? I

1787
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: think that's they think, Karen. They think it's a collect

1788
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 1: active consciousness decision that all of us believe that there

1789
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 1: are certain teams were better than right now and certain

1790
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 1: teams we are not. It's just hard. I have a

1791
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: hard time saying that. I have a hard time believe

1792
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 1: in that. I'm with you. I mean, even last you

1793
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 1: can't project last week's game onto the next game, let

1794
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 1: alone last year's team onto the protection of this year's team.

1795
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm a production of this year's team, so I'm I'm

1796
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 1: getting well. And also, we just got a little, a

1797
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 1: little tidbit on my think there is an we gotta

1798
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 1: remember Patrick called us and asks about rules. There's a

1799
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: there's a rule against manipulating the clock by taking multiple

1800
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: penalties at the end of the game inside of three minutes.

1801
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 1: So that is in the rule book, and I just

1802
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 1: I got that from another remember that universe. So uh,

1803
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: I think there is a rule against taking multiple penalties

1804
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 1: or consecutive penalties to manipulate the clock. I don't know

1805
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: what the penalty would be, but there you go. I mean,

1806
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 1: you can see that may have come about when people

1807
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: used to fake injuries, right to manipulate the clock, right,

1808

Speaker 1: ten second runoff. Yeah, anyway, another one from the tweet sheet.

1811
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 1: I like our chances to win four games, but we

1812
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: aren't beating the Patriots at home as much as as

1813
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: much as I want us to win. Brady's fourteen and

1816
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: put that off for four front. And by the way,

1817
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: we need yeah, we need some more information on the

1818
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: Bills coming in this week to accurately determine whether they

1819
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: will beat the Patriots at home. And we'll see how

1820
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: they do, and we'll see who's healthy, who gets back

1821
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 1: in the lineup, who's out of the lineup, who gets hurt,

1822
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: who's not hurt. Tom Brady's got a calf injury he's

1823
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: dealing with, and they played the Jets this week. They

1824
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 1: may give Yeah, I don't want to go. They may

1825
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:46,600
Speaker 1: get Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, and Josh Gordon all the

1826
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: week off what this week and they can still win.

1827
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 1: You know, Ballotchick won't do that. Let me just shake

1828
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 1: my head on the radio. That's where they one more

1829
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet, five home games of the next six.

1830
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 1: How many wins in that five game stretch? Terrence tweets

1831
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,599

01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:29,640
Speaker 1: my call. In this new NFL that's more like the NBA.

1957
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:33,080
Speaker 1: IF if with players possibly wanting to leave when their

1958
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 1: teams aren't doing that, well, what are your thoughts if

1959
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:38,759
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was to go off the next few weeks

1960
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 1: and throw a couple three hundred yard games, multiple touchdowns,

1961
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,519
Speaker 1: and really now we become a three or four and

1962
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,719
Speaker 1: oh team? What would be if we're looking to build

1963
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 1: our offense, what would be on our wish list in

1964
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:53,599
Speaker 1: terms from your guys. That's what I'm asking. Who would

1965
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:56,360
Speaker 1: you like to see possibly come over? And who's even

1966
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,400
Speaker 1: out there? Wow, nobody yet. If you go to that,

1967
01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: if you get to the point, if you go four

1968
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 1: and oh, five and oh right now, you don't change anything.

1969
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: In fact, what you do is focus on the guys

1970
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 1: in the room and you keep them healthy and happy

1971
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:10,640
Speaker 1: on both sides of the bowl. You don't need to

1972
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:14,439
Speaker 1: throw anybody in there. What else you got, Nick, No,

1973
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 1: that was I said. I feel like we're a couple

1974
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:20,679
Speaker 1: pieces away from solidifying, and obviously it's early with only

1975
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 1: being two and oh like what pieces possibly a wide

1976
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 1: receiver or or another you know, something on that, maybe

1977
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 1: a tight end or just something to solidify that offense

1978
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a threat. Not that you know.

1979
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 1: When I look right now at our team, it's it's

1980
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 1: John Brown for the most part, and I'd still if

1981
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 1: God forbid something was to happen to him, I'd love

1982
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 1: to have a you know, a w R three or

1983
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 1: four there John Brown and Cole Beasley, right, and we'll

1984
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 1: see two games in. There's more development to come. I

1985
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 1: heard you're saying, and I heard chopping the bulldog talk

1986
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:57,840
Speaker 1: yesterday about Jalen Ramsey, and I'm thinking, let's let's sit

1987
01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 1: tight here for a while, see what we got before

1988
01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: the Bills make a big move. I don't know if

1989
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:04,559
Speaker 1: a big move of you know, look, if you're in

1990
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 1: position and win a championship, I get it. What's the

1991
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:08,879
Speaker 1: trade deadline? I want to say at the end of October?

1992
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:10,720
Speaker 1: I believe we're a long way from there, in a

1993
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:13,720
Speaker 1: long way from determining exactly what kind of a team

1994
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:16,280
Speaker 1: that Bills have, So I'd wait and see. Two. Thanks

2012
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 1: and like me, I played special teams for a turn,

2013
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 1: but seven pro all that aside. It was more fun

2014
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:09,679
Speaker 1: when you got a chance to play down in distance

2015
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: because you're on the field more, right, That's that's the

2016
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: fun part. Yeah, it's definitely a fun part. And still

2017

Speaker 1: right now, I still play special teams and I go

2018
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 1: out there and you know, get the job done specially

2019
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:21,519

Speaker 1: down and this is it's awesome, man, love it. You

2021

Speaker 1: You made a couple of tackles on special teams. One

2022
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 1: you saved the touchdown on the punk return the sixty

2023
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,639
Speaker 1: one yard or that turned into the interceptions and points.

2024
01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 1: And then you also made a which you all us

2025
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:34,720
Speaker 1: never see. I got to tip my hat to you.

2026
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 1: A tackle inside the fifteen on a kickoff return these

2027
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 1: days is like impossible. And you got the guy from

2028
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 1: from the Giants inside the fifteen? Yeah what did what

2029
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 1: did uh? Heath say? Uh heath Man he everything he

2030
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:50,080
Speaker 1: got here. He always he called me up and he

2031
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:51,720
Speaker 1: was like, man, you're gonna be my guy. I soon

2032
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:53,559
Speaker 1: you need to fly down the field and blow stuff up.

2033
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:55,920
Speaker 1: So right now, with all of that, my task is

2034
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:57,599
Speaker 1: right now and just run down that fast as I can.

2035
01:36:57,840 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 1: How to beat the boss and make a tackle. That's

2036
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:04,639
Speaker 1: analytics right there, go down. Is it hard to balance

2037
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 1: special teams work and focus in the defense because you're

2038
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: getting a lot of reps on defense? No, No, it's not.

2039
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:12,240
Speaker 1: It's not a lot because I actually going to going

2040
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 1: into a specially. I want to carry the special teams

2041
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:16,680
Speaker 1: on my back, you know, and the holl of that,

2042
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, and be responsible to go in there to

2043
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 1: get a good field on defense. You know, if I

2044
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 1: have to go in there, I have to do. That's

2045
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:23,960
Speaker 1: just something I love to do. So you got a

2046
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 1: team coming in. You guys got off to a really

2047
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 1: nice start two and oh hard fought win in week

2048
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 1: one against the Jets, and then you kind of had

2049
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 1: it under control in week two and you know, they

2050
01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 1: hit in the mouth early, you responded, what is there

2051
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: tangible stuff you can point to? After that first drive

2052
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: when they came out and went bang bang bang bang,

2053
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:41,240
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you guys came off the

2054
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:44,320
Speaker 1: fields say wait, wait, what happened because they didn't do

2055
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: that anymore. Oh, it wasn't that. Uh it just like uh,

2056
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: first drive came out there. We did get hit in

2057
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:50,880
Speaker 1: the mouth, but we just went to the sideline and

2058
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:53,400
Speaker 1: just a few things and then lineback up, and you know,

2059
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:55,400
Speaker 1: the offense came back and got it too. You know,

2060
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 1: seven and seven. That's exactly what we wanted, and we

2061
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:00,200
Speaker 1: came back then to get the job done. One of

2062
01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:02,000
Speaker 1: the things that happened in the Giants game, and it

2063
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,799
Speaker 1: was obviously set up before before the game began, but yourself,

2064
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Dean Marlowe and even even Kevin Johnson kind of took

2065
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:11,720
Speaker 1: turns playing the nickel corner. Right. What was what was

2066
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 1: the rotation there? What triggered the rotation we're looking at

2067
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:17,599
Speaker 1: from the Giants that let you know who to go in?

2068
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:20,559
Speaker 1: Oh no, it wasn't. Actually more of the rotation. We

2069
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 1: all do play nickels. This is certain packages or whatever

2070
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:26,080
Speaker 1: that we get the roll in and do, and you

2071
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:29,200
Speaker 1: did it seamlessly. There was never there. I couldn't see

2072
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:30,960
Speaker 1: it at least from up top a play where it

2073
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 1: was like who's in a nickel? Now, No, you guys

2074
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 1: always knew who was going in the Yeah we did.

2075
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 1: It was just sound from the sideline getting communicated and

2076
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 1: getting adjustment and sideline whoever got to go into go

2077
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,519
Speaker 1: in and get a job done. This week, you're coming.

2078
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 1: You finally turned your eyes forward onto the Cincinnati Bengals

2079
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,240
Speaker 1: and you look at them, meant they're airing it out.

2080
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean they have been behind. You see a lot

2081
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 1: of their passing game, they haven't been able to run

2082
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:53,120
Speaker 1: it very good. Joe Mixon's been out. They've been airing

2083
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:54,599
Speaker 1: it out, and they got some guys that can fly

2084
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 1: out there. What's the what's the you know, the temperature

2085
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 1: of the Bengals offense. The Bengals offense pretty pretty good.

2086
01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, offense. They do a lot of things to

2087
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 1: get you know, get you off, but then its pre

2088
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 1: sing out, communication to get lined up and just doing

2089
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 1: the job basically, you know, uh, quarterback pretty good, you know,

2090
01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: trying to get everything mixed up, but just lining up

2091
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: John roster guys has really emerged. For a lot of

2092
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:20,880
Speaker 1: people didn't know him. He hadn't he didn't play all

2093
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: that much. And they with aj Green being off the

2094
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:26,920
Speaker 1: field for them, John Ross kinna and he can really scoot.

2095
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:29,680
Speaker 1: What happens and how does it affect the mindset of

2096
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 1: you guys in the back end when you know you've

2097
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:32,360
Speaker 1: got a guy who can really take the lid off?

2098
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, John Ross, you really really fast. One

2099
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:36,479
Speaker 1: of the guys that asked the king by rand and

2100
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: four two and combine. Uh. Knowing John Ross, I just

2101
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 1: know he's everybody know he really really fast. But as

2102
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 1: a defense and as a staff, we know, we just

2103
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:47,680
Speaker 1: come together and we learn a lot of things. You

2104
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:50,759
Speaker 1: have to cover things up, mister, and Neil builds special

2105
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 1: teamer builds defensive back. And Steve asked you a minute

2106
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 1: ago about he's farwell, how he came to you. You said,

2107
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 1: he came to you in the off season, said you're

2108
01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 1: my guy. Your production on special teams last year. Probably

2109
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,040
Speaker 1: they led him in that direction, right, Yeah, yeah, it was.

2110
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 1: I said earlier in the season, I had a lot

2111
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:08,760
Speaker 1: on my mind, you know, coming in you know year, Yeah,

2112
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:11,040
Speaker 1: coming in from a small school and seeing a bigger stage.

2113
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:14,400
Speaker 1: You know it used to happen, but um basically with

2114
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 1: coach Dermott actually taking me on his wing and just

2115
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:18,840
Speaker 1: telling me certain things that I can do because he

2116
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: seed him to me and him believing in me actually

2117
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 1: led me to go out there on special team last

2118
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:26,400
Speaker 1: year and get you know, do that. It's a tough transition.

2119
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 1: We hear about it sometimes, you guys. You know, you

2120
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 1: had success in college Jacksonville State, You're a start, You're

2121
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: playing defensive back, and then here it's like, hey, we

2122
01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:36,360
Speaker 1: need you to focus on special teams. Did you play

2123
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:39,360
Speaker 1: many teams in college? I did earlier in my years,

2124
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 1: probably freshman sophomore year, but heading into my junior year,

2125
01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 1: I actually came off and started just playing more nickel

2126
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:48,400
Speaker 1: and corner and stuff like that. And I didn't play

2127
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: that much a special team, but I was on that,

2128
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 1: so I really never forgot about special teams. All I

2129
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 1: know is about special teams is special team win games.

2130
01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 1: And that's something that I wanted to help do with

2131
01:40:57,320 --> 01:40:58,880
Speaker 1: the team. So you're getting a chance to come in.

2132
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:00,760
Speaker 1: You know, the defense has been playing really good, and

2133
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:02,519
Speaker 1: now you know that your role is going to be

2134
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 1: expanded coming into like week two in the Giants and

2135
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 1: this week as well in Cincinnati. Do you feel an

2136
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:09,960
Speaker 1: added sense of pressure so they because you know the

2137
01:41:10,120 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 1: ten guys around you have really got it together, you

2138
01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: don't want to be there. Well, now they didn't playing

2139
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 1: there good because you know, you know what I mean?

2140
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:18,559
Speaker 1: Do you put added pressure on yourself because you don't

2141
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 1: want to let those guys down as well as they're playing. Oh,

2142
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:23,280
Speaker 1: I want to say its pressure. I just say I

2143
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: just wanted to go in there and comfort and just

2144
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:27,640
Speaker 1: have everybody trust me that I can just come in

2145
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:29,120
Speaker 1: and just get the job done. It. So it really

2146
01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:31,880
Speaker 1: was never pressure. It was just almost being ready for

2147
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 1: the task ahead and being ready for the opportunity when

2148
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 1: the opportunity comes. Serena, you played a lot we're talking

2149
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:39,360
Speaker 1: about special teams. You played a lot of defense through

2150
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:42,799
Speaker 1: these first couple of weeks, right, and do you miss

2151
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 1: just being a safety And do you find you have

2152
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:46,479
Speaker 1: a lot more to look at now when you when

2153
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,280
Speaker 1: you're looking at how you play as a nickel corner

2154
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:50,599
Speaker 1: and all the other roles you feel Oh, I want

2155
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 1: to say that I miss it. I mean I was

2156
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:56,760
Speaker 1: lovely being back there. Um, But the thing is Uh,

2157
01:41:57,080 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 1: with this defense, every position can be that position. You know,

2158
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 1: you got everybody playing in every position, so I really

2159
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: don't matter what position you were in. It's just basically

2160
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 1: just going out there and just doing you got to

2161
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:12,160
Speaker 1: do foret defensive winning the nickel they need you and

2162
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 1: run support two run they do. You're almost like a linebacker. Yeah,

2163
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, it's all right. So a different attitude

2164
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 1: this year. I've got to be a little bit different

2165
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 1: for your defensive defensive guys because you look over the

2166
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 1: other side of the ball now this year as opposed

2167
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:27,640
Speaker 1: to last year, this year, those guys are kind of

2168
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:30,320
Speaker 1: getting it done. They're staying on the field, they're they're

2169
01:42:30,439 --> 01:42:32,599
Speaker 1: flipping the field a little bit. They're scoring some touchdowns.

2170
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:34,439
Speaker 1: They gave you a lead last week. They gave you

2171
01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 1: a chance to win it in the fourth quarter last

2172
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 1: week by coming back and finally getting the lead after

2173
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:41,679
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit. There's gotta be a different feel about,

2174
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:44,759
Speaker 1: more confidence that you're gonna be a defense that maybe

2175
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:46,720
Speaker 1: once in a while plays with the league a lead.

2176
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:50,080
Speaker 1: This year, yeah, the ultimate is right now. Man. They're

2177
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 1: on a roll, and it seemed like those guys over

2178
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:54,040
Speaker 1: there really have a brotherhood, and I wouldn't say those

2179
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 1: guys actually them and asking to coming together as a

2180
01:42:57,479 --> 01:43:00,720
Speaker 1: team and bunding together owned and the field to get

2181
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:02,600
Speaker 1: the job done on the field. We were talking on

2182
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:05,280

2184
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to put. I mean, it doesn't guarantee it went

2185
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:11,680
Speaker 1: at home, but it's better to play at home, right

2186
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:14,920
Speaker 1: it's Oh man, it's gonna be lovely at home. Just

2193
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:32,680
Speaker 1: What have you told some of the rookies about what

2199
01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 1: to communicate everything to get the job. Do you have

2200
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: to use hand signals sometimes? Or or you at the

2201
01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:53,160
Speaker 1: point now after a year in this defense, can you

2202
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 1: look make some eye contact with Micah or Jordan or

2203
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 1: or you know, Trey or whoever's outside you can you

2204
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 1: just kind of make some mine contact and adjust that

2205
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:04,719
Speaker 1: way because you you know, because you can't hear sometimes

2237
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:39,759
Speaker 1: Brown and others that the head coach Sean McDermott mentioned

2238
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 1: that Titan Tyler Croft injured his ankle in practice today.

2239
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:46,639
Speaker 1: Severity not yet known, so we'll keep an eye out

2240
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: on that. See if we're cantin him now. Golly, he's

2241
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:53,760
Speaker 1: been working. He's been working hard and long and diligently

2242
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 1: and tediously and by himself, and you know, watching from

2243
01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:00,599
Speaker 1: the sidelines the team got off to a fast already.

2244
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 1: Finally gets a chance to come in, maybe contribute, do

2245
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 1: what he loves to do, and tweaks an ankle. We'll

2246
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: let you know if we know more about that. Not

2247
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: likely today, but he did hurt his ankle today, and

2248
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:13,679
Speaker 1: siran Neil was great. And look, I don't I don't

2249
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:15,400
Speaker 1: never expect that they're going to tell us what the

2250
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:17,880
Speaker 1: plan is. But it was interesting the way they lined

2251
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:20,960
Speaker 1: up in Nickel with three different Nickel corners last week.

2252
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,040
Speaker 1: Serran was one of them, Dean Marlow was one of them,

2253
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 1: and Kevin Johnson was one of them. Did they do

2254
01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 1: the same this week? I don't know. A lot of

2255
01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 1: that has to do with what the Giants were doing

2256
01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, when they throw guide certain personnel

2257
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 1: packages out there, certain things that the Bills respond with

2258
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,760
Speaker 1: different personnel as well, So there's some of that going

2259
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:41,519
Speaker 1: on too, But also decisions are made in an ongoing basis,

2260
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 1: and you know this, Murph, it's a week to week league.

2261
01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and they will say, you know what I

2262
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:49,080
Speaker 1: like kind of like, you know what that gives They

2263
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 1: watched those guys play and they say, you know what,

2264
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:53,160
Speaker 1: that gives me an idea and they do something different

2265
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 1: the next week, even with the same players or different

2266
01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:59,559
Speaker 1: players or different combinations of the same players. So all

2267
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:01,559
Speaker 1: of that is on the table all the time. For

2268
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 1: these coaching staffs, they start to get creative, particularly when

2269
01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 1: they find out new things about their own players. And

2270
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 1: that's basically what the season is about growth for the

2271
01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff. They start finding out new things about their

2272
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:17,240
Speaker 1: players that they can use to win games, and they

2273
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:19,120
Speaker 1: put their players in a position to do those things.

2274
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 1: And that's that's the creativity they get to do as

2275
01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:24,559
Speaker 1: a coaching staff. And we'll start seeing we started seeing

2276
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 1: a little bit of it this week two against the Giants.

2277
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,680
Speaker 1: So now, of course they've got this Bengals team, as

2278
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: they said right at the top of the show, You're

2279
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:34,040
Speaker 1: own two. They're not a look. See if I think this,

2280
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:36,719
Speaker 1: I want to get you. This is the most talented

2281
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: team the Bills have faced so far this year. The Bengals,

2282
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,280
Speaker 1: I believe. I think they're better than the Jets, and

2283
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:43,880
Speaker 1: even the Jets going into the season, I know they're

2284
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 1: better than the Giants. I believe that it ain't easy

2285
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 1: to win. Yeah, I mean, and it's no given. I mean,

2286
01:47:50,120 --> 01:47:52,840
Speaker 1: it's a plus that you're at home, but it ain't easy.

2287
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 1: And I think the Bills are going to have to

2288
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:58,600
Speaker 1: play as well or better than they've played in the

2289
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 1: first two weeks to win this game. I'll just say

2290
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:02,760
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to play better in this game

2291
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 1: than they had to play in week one week two

2292
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:07,400
Speaker 1: to win this game. So let me read you Chris

2293
01:48:07,439 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 1: Brown's tweets from what he got from head coach McDermott.

2294
01:48:12,160 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft injured his ankle at practice. Today's severity of

2295
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 1: the injury not yet known. On Devin's singletary, the quote

2296
01:48:18,040 --> 01:48:21,760
Speaker 1: from head coach Sean McDermott, he did not practice today.

2297
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:23,680
Speaker 1: We'll see what tonight and tomorrow morning holds when I

2298
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 1: get another report. No practice two straight days for Devin singletary,

2299
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:30,280
Speaker 1: Trudevious White and the red non contactors. He was limited

2300
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,920
Speaker 1: in practice again today. The quote from McDermott he's moving

2301
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:34,720
Speaker 1: in the right direction and move well today. We're just

2302
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:36,439
Speaker 1: trying to be smart with him, so you know what

2303
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 1: we know. Apparently of these injuries, we'll see. Yeah, we'll

2304
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:42,679
Speaker 1: see um Trdavious White if he plays. He was asked

2305
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 1: about it yesterday, asked about going up against John Ross,

2306
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:49,160
Speaker 1: the speedster number eleven for the Cincinnati Bengals four two two,

2307
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:50,800
Speaker 1: clocked in the forty at four two two at the

2308
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Combine a couple of years ago. Here's what Trey White

2309
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:58,599
Speaker 1: said about calling up against John Ross. Blazing man, great

2310
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 1: ball control, great ball skills, super fast. We got still

2311
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 1: over the top of them for sure, and uh, I

2312
01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:06,320
Speaker 1: feel like we still over the top of them and

2313
01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:08,160
Speaker 1: try to limit the big plays. But we'll be fine.

2314
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:12,599
Speaker 1: It's a big challenge. We can't talk your toes really

2315
01:49:12,640 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 1: quickly and forces you as a corner, Yeah, to make

2316
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 1: a decis I mean, can flip them by him or yeah,

2317
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We would rather him catch

2318
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard comeback or slant or stop route into

2319
01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 1: comparison to a sixty yard bomb, so we keep them

2320
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:30,719
Speaker 1: in front of us. I feel like we'll be fine

2321
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,679
Speaker 1: for sure. Games to the secondary know there's a second

2322
01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 1: right now, they're from the passing attacks. Really well, it's

2323
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:38,560
Speaker 1: just a sticking game to kind of prove to the

2324
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 1: rest of the league that the secondaries as good as

2325
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 1: what it was last year. How long were the question?

2326
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:44,599
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. You see, it's a very good

2327
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:46,560
Speaker 1: offensive attack so far to start the season. Is this

2328
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:48,760
Speaker 1: a game that the secondary feels like they can make

2329
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:51,120
Speaker 1: a statement by shutting down a team that's averaging three

2330
01:49:51,200 --> 01:49:53,680
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards? Honestly, I don't think we can

2331
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:57,880
Speaker 1: do pretty much anything to get the recognition we deserved.

2332
01:49:57,880 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, where we went like ten nine or ten

2333
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 1: stake hands with guys going over two hundred yards and

2334
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 1: nobody even talk about that. And uh so, I mean

2335
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:06,719
Speaker 1: I feel like music, just go out and just continue

2336
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:10,040
Speaker 1: to play. Uh and when I feel like dat, come

2337
01:50:10,439 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 1: win for s you. That's good attitude to have, I

2338
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 1: guess for Trudavious White, who cares what anybody's saying? Aboudy,

2339
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:17,479
Speaker 1: you just go out and keep doing it right doesn't

2340
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 1: matter Yet what they say. Listen there, there's my old

2341
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:24,080
Speaker 1: coach used to have a saying, and it really speaks

2342
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: to you. You know, let what you do speak so

2343
01:50:27,240 --> 01:50:31,160
Speaker 1: loudly nobody can hear what you're saying. And we used

2344
01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 1: to take that to heart and it really works. Wonders.

2345
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 1: It worked wonders for us because back it's the same

2346
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 1: story back in the day, when you know you're winning

2347
01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 1: all these games, you're doing some good things, and nobody

2348
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 1: seems to notice, particularly on a national level. You play

2349
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 1: so well, you do things so so well, they can't

2350
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 1: not do it, and you know you're the You become

2351
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 1: the centerpiece of the conversation, whether they like it or not,

2352
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:53,040
Speaker 1: and then they have to talk about you. And I

2353
01:50:53,080 --> 01:50:55,679
Speaker 1: think that's where the Bills want to get to. They're

2354
01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 1: fine it being where they're at, and I think it's

2355
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:00,760
Speaker 1: a good place for him right now. The last thing

2356
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:03,720
Speaker 1: you want to do is have six guys being, you know,

2357
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 1: pulled aside during the day for some sit down interview

2358
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:10,519
Speaker 1: with a national platform and starting to have all this

2359
01:51:10,560 --> 01:51:12,760
Speaker 1: stuff they got to read about and digest about their

2360
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 1: own about themselves. So it's it's nothing, but it is fun.

2361
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: It's fun for all your friends and your family to

2362
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:21,519
Speaker 1: see the attention that you're getting, but it doesn't help

2363
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:23,679
Speaker 1: you win games. And I think that's what the team

2364
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 1: has to remember our Twitter poll today, how many wins

2365
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 1: where the Bills get in the next five home games?

2366
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,519
Speaker 1: We don't look ahead, you know that, but there is

2367
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:33,639
Speaker 1: this chuck of schedule coming up here, next six Buffalo

2368
01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:36,160
Speaker 1: Bills games, five of them, five of them at home.

2369
01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:37,439
Speaker 1: What do you think of that? And how many of

2370
01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: those five can they expect to get out of here

2371
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:43,320
Speaker 1: with wins in of the next five of the next

2372
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:45,160
Speaker 1: six games, five or at home? How many wins do

2373
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:47,760
Speaker 1: you expect? We asked that question on Twitter and we're

2374
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,559
Speaker 1: getting good responses on this on the Twitter poll today,

2375
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 1: more than thirteen hundred votes in how many wins you

2376
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:55,400
Speaker 1: expect for the Bills out of the next five home games?

2377
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,000
Speaker 1: Fifty five percent of you more than half say four,

2378
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:01,880
Speaker 1: Twenty four percent of you say three wins, nineteen percent

2379
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:05,280
Speaker 1: say five wins, going five getting all five, and two

2380
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: percent say just two wins. What do you think? Give

2381
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,639
Speaker 1: us a call eight oh three five fifty toll free

Speaker 1: five fifty. Let's go to Kevin and Hamburg with an

2384
01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:18,240
Speaker 1: answer to this question. Kevin, go ahead, you're on the air.

2385
01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 1: How are you doing good? I'd like to do something special.

2386
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 1: Viaber with me? Is that? Okay? It depends on how

2387
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:28,120
Speaker 1: special it is. Kevin, go ahead, Kevin, say three out

2388
01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:31,559
Speaker 1: of the next five. But you know we don't usually

2389
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 1: play on Thanksgiving. There's a Denver game before Thanksgiving. I'd

2390
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 1: like to kind of stick three out of the next

2391
01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:40,719
Speaker 1: five and four out of the next sixth home game,

2392
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:45,200
Speaker 1: which included Denver before the big Turkey Day in Dallas. Okay, Well,

2393
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 1: you're looking down the road a little bit further than

2394
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:49,519
Speaker 1: we were because there are those back to back roadies,

2395
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:51,719
Speaker 1: one at the Browns and one at the Dolphins before

2396
01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:53,599
Speaker 1: they get to Denver. But I understand that. I understand

2397
01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 1: why you do that. Thanks very much. Let's go to

2398
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 1: Dan and Tampa. Hello, Dan, you're on the air, Dan

2399
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 1: and Camp are you there? Dan? No, no no, no, I

2400
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:06,160
Speaker 1: was just trying to get your hands free. Okay, no problem,

2401
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,040
Speaker 1: be safe. That's the way I have to because I'm driving.

2402
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 1: My company wants to get hands free, so we'll do

2403
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:15,479
Speaker 1: what they want. Man, I'm sorry, sir. Go ahead, you're

2404
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 1: on the air, okay, yeah, so follow with Steve. I'm

2405
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 1: with you, man. I think, um, I think we're going

2406
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 1: to be at least ten or eleven, and I said ten,

2407
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:29,120
Speaker 1: You're not with me. I'm hoping for eleven plus, Stevie,

2408
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:36,000
Speaker 1: plus plus means nothing. You stafu set the Friday before

2409
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:38,720
Speaker 1: the regular season. Keep going, Dan, pile it on when

2410
01:53:38,920 --> 01:53:42,840
Speaker 1: by the way, okay, Dan is at it. We're having

2411
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 1: trouble with Dan here. Oh No. I think that the

2412
01:53:45,520 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 1: line is coming together faster than I thought, and I

2413
01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 1: think it's going to get even better this week. I

2414
01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:53,759
Speaker 1: think that we are going to the offensive line. Of course,

2415
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 1: that we are going to keep jelling better and better

2416
01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:00,720
Speaker 1: and better. And so I think that that is the

2417
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:05,000
Speaker 1: key to this team. And God, I hope Devin can play.

2418
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:08,680
Speaker 1: I really do. Let's not practice yet. This week, the

2419
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:12,280
Speaker 1: offensive mind goes up against Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap,

2420
01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:15,599
Speaker 1: two veteran performer Steve Look, I know I know who,

2421
01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:17,639
Speaker 1: I know who the Bengals are. Watch both their games.

2422
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 1: But those two guys, I'm not gonna say they scare me,

2423
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:23,120
Speaker 1: but they you you you talk about them, right, you

2424
01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:25,559
Speaker 1: have to think about them a little bit. Yeah. They

2425
01:54:25,560 --> 01:54:29,920
Speaker 1: are both really good players, high quality, really good players,

2426
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:31,800
Speaker 1: solid players. They've been there for a long time. They've

2427
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:33,440
Speaker 1: got a lot of experience and they've still got some

2428
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:36,560
Speaker 1: gas in there. Take Carlos dunlap Is a is a

2429
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:39,879
Speaker 1: beast like yeah, person of all. He's a power forward

2430
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of guy. He's like Tremaine Edmunds, except even even

2431
01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:45,000
Speaker 1: more so. He's bigger than Tremaine, you know that kind

2432
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,640
Speaker 1: of Guy's long and rangey, and I think he's even

2433
01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:51,520
Speaker 1: heavier than Tremaine, and he plays with his hand on

2434
01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 1: the ground. He's got a huge reach. And Geno Atkins

2435
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 1: is one of those guys that every team would love

2436
01:54:57,280 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 1: to have. A solid, respectable, depend endable human being that

2437
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:05,680
Speaker 1: is almost impossible to push and when he comes off

2438
01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:08,040
Speaker 1: the ball, you just can't move him. So these guys

2439
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:10,000
Speaker 1: can really play. They've been a part of this team

2440
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:12,560
Speaker 1: for a long time. They gave him deals that kept

2441
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:15,000
Speaker 1: him there for a long time, and you got to

2442
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 1: contend with him. So yeah, it's gonna be a test

2443
01:55:17,160 --> 01:55:19,040
Speaker 1: for our offensive line. I think it's gonna be maybe

2444
01:55:19,040 --> 01:55:21,840
Speaker 1: the best test yet. Although the Jets defensive front was

2445
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:28,720
Speaker 1: very good. This team, I think for Cincinnati is gonna

2446
01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 1: be a very physical test, no question, but I think

2447
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:33,000
Speaker 1: more so on that mental side of it. These guys

2448
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:35,040
Speaker 1: that they're playing now. It's not Quinnon Williams, the first

2449
01:55:35,040 --> 01:55:37,480
Speaker 1: guy out of a guy out of college. This is

2450
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:41,920
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap and Gino Watkins with vast experience in the NFL.

2451
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:43,360
Speaker 1: I think that's the one thing that the Bills are

2452
01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:45,200
Speaker 1: going to contend with this week. They may not have

2453
01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 1: had to yet. We talk a lot about here about

2454
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:55,360
Speaker 1: the Bill's first round draft picked yeah and Oliver and

2455
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 1: how how what a different team makes on the inside.

2456
01:55:57,720 --> 01:55:59,720
Speaker 1: Geno Atkins has been doing that for years. And he's

2457
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:02,320
Speaker 1: got a bunch of sacks the likes of which I

2458
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:04,080
Speaker 1: don't know the numbers in front of me, but he

2459
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:07,600
Speaker 1: gets sacks which most defensive tackles don't specialize in. He

2460
01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:10,120
Speaker 1: gets sacks and he has historically for years and years,

2461
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,520
Speaker 1: and um, he's a force. I'm not saying I'm not

2462
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 1: afraid of him. I'm not afraid of it. Those guys,

2463
01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:17,040
Speaker 1: but you gotta you gotta know that they're here to play.

2464
01:56:17,040 --> 01:56:19,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, and they're desperate fighting, they're desperate. Don't take

2465
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:22,520
Speaker 1: and three. I mean, you talk about these percentages, we say, hey,

2466
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 1: how many teams are two and oh go to the playoffs?

2467
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:28,440
Speaker 1: How many oh and two teams go not too many, right,

2468
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:31,440
Speaker 1: look that up. It's gotta be. We'll see. If it's

2469
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 1: O and two starts twelve point six percent of teams

2470
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:38,920
Speaker 1: that starts and two since nineteen ninety three and three

2471
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 1: starts two point nine percent of nobody goes to the

2472
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:44,680
Speaker 1: playoffs starting out in three. Right, And that's the Bengals

2473
01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 1: if they don't come in here and play lights out

2474
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:49,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So there you go. I mean, that's what

2475
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:51,200
Speaker 1: they're up against, that's what they're looking at. They want

2476
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:52,760
Speaker 1: no part of it. Let's take a call here from

2477

2492
01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:38,600
Speaker 1: to Bruce and I would have stayed, but I was afraid,

2493
01:57:38,600 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 1: book right, somebody might do something wrong. Mike might let

2494
01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:44,000
Speaker 1: him have No, I didn't get that, and we wouldn't

2495
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:46,800
Speaker 1: be able to beat out Bruce and Pennsylvania. Hello, Bruce,

2496
01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Go ahead, all right, I got

2497
01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:53,080
Speaker 1: a question for you about last Sunday's game. I've been

2498
01:57:53,120 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 1: trying to find out the answer from different people, but um,

2499
01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering why Josh Allen was called for intentional

2500
01:58:00,760 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 1: grounding when he was almost out of bounds on the

2501
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:06,520
Speaker 1: one player where he had had two penalties called on him. Well,

2502
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,680
Speaker 1: the ball did not cross the line of scrimmage. That

2503
01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 1: was the problem. Okay, all right, all right, I guess

2504
01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:17,040
Speaker 1: that's a reasonable answer. Nobody told you that, Bruce. That's yeah,

2505
01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:19,520
Speaker 1: that's what I didn't even remember the call. But if

2506
01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:22,680
Speaker 1: in fact they declined that one and took them the

2507
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:27,040
Speaker 1: Cody Ford hit, right right, that's right, they declined it. Um, yes,

2508
01:58:27,200 --> 01:58:31,040
Speaker 1: because the ball has to go past the sticks. Yeah. Yeah, thanks.

2509
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 1: Hey talking about owing three starts and you you jogged

2510
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 1: my memory. I just looked it up. Steve. You know

2511
01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:38,560
Speaker 1: there is a team that started owing three and went

2512
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 1: to the playoffs right here in nineteen ninety eight, Buffalo Bills.

2513
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:44,360
Speaker 1: You remember that year. That was the Doug Johnson, Doug Flutie,

2514
01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:47,320
Speaker 1: Rob Johnson year, the first year of Wade Phillips continure,

2515
01:58:48,080 --> 01:58:50,880
Speaker 1: first of my first year of retirement. Yes, they lost

2516
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 1: to the at the Chargers lost at Miami, lost to

2517
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:55,920
Speaker 1: Saint Louis here and the then I believe I'm beating

2518
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Ers came in here for Week

2519
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:01,640
Speaker 1: four on October fourth of the Bills beat him and

2520
01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:04,920
Speaker 1: went on to uh when the nine of the next

2521
01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:08,280
Speaker 1: twelve games went to the playoffs. Yeah, they did it. Now,

2522
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:09,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to do that. You don't want to

2523
01:59:09,480 --> 01:59:12,440
Speaker 1: start owing three, and certainly the Bengals probably don't want

2524
01:59:12,440 --> 01:59:14,400
Speaker 1: to hear that. There's a handful of teams and that's

2525
01:59:14,400 --> 01:59:17,160
Speaker 1: all it would take to you what two percent? You said, Yeah,

2526
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:21,240
Speaker 1: that's all it would take. Over the years, there's less

2527
01:59:21,240 --> 01:59:22,640
Speaker 1: than a handful of teams. That have done I know

2528
01:59:22,680 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers did it, the Colts. Four teams have done

2529
01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:32,080
Speaker 1: it since four Yeah, I mean the Chargers did it once.

2530
01:59:32,120 --> 01:59:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Colts did it last year.

2531
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:36,440
Speaker 1: They were one they won one, like one and two,

2532
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: one and three, one and four, one and five, right,

2533
01:59:38,520 --> 01:59:40,280
Speaker 1: yeah for six or something. They weren't oing three. Yeah,

2534
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:43,600
Speaker 1: they weren't going three. Phone call here from Dave in Florida. Hello, Dave, welcome,

2535
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:46,360
Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. How you doing? Yeah?

2536
01:59:46,440 --> 01:59:48,800
Speaker 1: Good places on the Hall of fom Thank you, Dave.

2537
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:51,800
Speaker 1: What I want to tell you is that kid was

2538
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 1: in the boats to Sinnaty with Josh Allen and Cold Beasley.

2539
01:59:57,480 --> 02:00:02,320
Speaker 1: That Beasley is one of the better better slots that

2540
02:00:02,440 --> 02:00:05,839
Speaker 1: I've seen in years, along with that element of reputer arresting.

2541
02:00:06,360 --> 02:00:08,600
Speaker 1: So that's what I think. I defense will stand up

2542
02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:12,960
Speaker 1: to Dalton. Okay, you guys think yeah, I'll tell you

2543
02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:14,800
Speaker 1: what about Beasley And we had him on the show.

2544
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:16,920
Speaker 1: I think it was Monday, right, Stephen. The one play

2545
02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:19,600
Speaker 1: that just sticks sticks with me was that third down

2546
02:00:19,640 --> 02:00:22,360
Speaker 1: play third and nine. He caught a pass on the

2547
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:24,720
Speaker 1: left side near the sideline and he was still four

2548
02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:27,320
Speaker 1: yard short. Of the sticks and just spun around two guys,

2549
02:00:27,360 --> 02:00:29,840
Speaker 1: two defenders and picked up the first down. But yeah,

2550
02:00:29,840 --> 02:00:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the typical reaction is why would

2551
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:34,200
Speaker 1: they throw it there? That's not a first down. But

2552
02:00:34,440 --> 02:00:37,080
Speaker 1: Beasley made it a first down just by his own athleticism,

2553
02:00:37,120 --> 02:00:38,560
Speaker 1: his own move. I thought it was a great play

2554
02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:41,560
Speaker 1: by Colby, and he actually ran took like two quick

2555
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:44,720
Speaker 1: steps toward the line of scrim like backwards away from

2556
02:00:44,720 --> 02:00:46,520
Speaker 1: the defender to pick his spot to where he could

2557
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:48,840
Speaker 1: duck down and die for the first down. Yeah, those

2558
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 1: it was a crucial play. Those are the exact kind

2559
02:00:52,640 --> 02:00:54,760
Speaker 1: of things that slot receiver has to do. You got

2560
02:00:54,760 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 1: a couple of things that are that are elementary to

2561
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,480
Speaker 1: that position. One is, you've got to be a laterally

2562
02:01:00,560 --> 02:01:02,400
Speaker 1: quick and you got to be one of those guys

2563
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:04,840
Speaker 1: that can move and accelerate really fast and stop and

2564
02:01:04,920 --> 02:01:07,800
Speaker 1: change directions. That means you can get open in tight spaces.

2565
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:12,440
Speaker 1: The second thing is you gotta be willing to catch

2566
02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:15,200
Speaker 1: a ball with guys kind of hanging around you. You

2567
02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:17,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, You're never really you don't really

2568
02:01:17,440 --> 02:01:20,480
Speaker 1: get down the field behind everybody because there's always guys

2569
02:01:20,520 --> 02:01:23,520
Speaker 1: behind you. When you catch it. And the second thing

2570
02:01:23,640 --> 02:01:28,640
Speaker 1: is too, you gotta be really good at getting to

2571
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:30,840
Speaker 1: the gap because you're always going to catch those short balls.

2572
02:01:30,920 --> 02:01:32,600
Speaker 1: You want those extra couple of yards maybe to get

2573
02:01:32,640 --> 02:01:34,360
Speaker 1: to the first down, maybe to get the goal line,

2574
02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:38,320
Speaker 1: to dive ahead in between guys or around guys, make

2575
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:40,720
Speaker 1: the first guy miss once and then lunge your head

2576
02:01:40,800 --> 02:01:43,560
Speaker 1: or get into open space. Getting free once you catch

2577
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:45,840
Speaker 1: the football is another. Is the thing that those slot

2578
02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:48,600
Speaker 1: guys got to do. So you gotta be comfortable catching

2579
02:01:48,640 --> 02:01:51,520
Speaker 1: the ball with guys behind you coming forward, and you

2580
02:01:51,600 --> 02:01:54,160
Speaker 1: gotta be ready to turn and run when maybe you're

2581
02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:56,160
Speaker 1: you kind of know where those guys are, but you're

2582
02:01:56,160 --> 02:01:59,240
Speaker 1: just kind of guessing where they are. It's a courageous

2583
02:01:59,240 --> 02:02:00,920
Speaker 1: little spot that you got to be in. You gotta.

2584
02:02:01,080 --> 02:02:02,880
Speaker 1: But guys are good at it. Some guys are good

2585
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:07,040
Speaker 1: at it, and it's those characteristics that are completely different

2586
02:02:07,080 --> 02:02:10,120
Speaker 1: than being a guy on the outside where you're catching

2587
02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:13,360
Speaker 1: the ball near the sideline with a guy behind you,

2588
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 1: or with guys chasing your in a hand fight, with

2589
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 1: a guy going down on a fifty fifty ball, or

2590
02:02:18,800 --> 02:02:21,360
Speaker 1: behind everybody. It's a different kind of set of skills

2591
02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:23,560
Speaker 1: that you have as a slot as opposed to an

2592
02:02:23,560 --> 02:02:26,600
Speaker 1: outside guy. Take a call here from Pittsburgh, New York.

2593
02:02:26,640 --> 02:02:31,080
Speaker 1: Mitchell in Pittsburgh, Go ahead, Mitchell, Hey, Steve, I'm just

2594
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 1: curious what you guys make of Robert Foster's fight on

2595
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:38,600
Speaker 1: the receiver depth chart and how how he's kind of

2596
02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:41,440
Speaker 1: descended to their fifth receiver after being their top receiver

2597
02:02:41,520 --> 02:02:44,320
Speaker 1: the last four or five games last year. They got better,

2598
02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:46,400
Speaker 1: They got better. I mean, that's what it is, Mitchell.

2599
02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they got better, guys, you know, think about it.

2600
02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean who was there last year? Kelvin Benjamin left,

2601
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, m that left. Zay Jones is the last

2602
02:02:57,560 --> 02:03:01,000
Speaker 1: guy standing, and that's all there was. You know, who

2603
02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:04,120
Speaker 1: would you take playing time away from in that receiver group, Mitchell?

2604
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:07,840
Speaker 1: Well maybe Isaiah McKenzie. But I mean, I see what

2605
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:10,480
Speaker 1: you're sign I mean, obviously they signed Brown and Beasley,

2606
02:03:10,520 --> 02:03:12,640
Speaker 1: so they're gonna play. But do you think there's any

2607
02:03:12,680 --> 02:03:15,440
Speaker 1: chance they try to trade him mabally to a team

2608
02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:20,920
Speaker 1: that really needs receivers? John, you mean Rob Foster? Yeah? Uh,

2609
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:24,240
Speaker 1: if you know, probably they would if they offer was right.

2610
02:03:24,280 --> 02:03:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean everything, it's like you know the old saying,

2611
02:03:26,120 --> 02:03:30,240
Speaker 1: everything's for sale for the right price. UM, I don't

2612
02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:32,160
Speaker 1: know that what they would expect to get up. He's

2613
02:03:32,160 --> 02:03:35,440
Speaker 1: a rookie free agent. Um, he has taken I think

2614
02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:40,560
Speaker 1: more snaps than Isaiah McKenzie. He's got like fourteen snapsters. No,

2615
02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Robert Foster has forty two snaps two Isaiah McKenzie has

2616
02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:46,760
Speaker 1: twenty one. Yeah, there's almost twice as many snaps, exactly

2617
02:03:46,800 --> 02:03:49,440
Speaker 1: twice as many. So that so he's playing more than

2618
02:03:49,480 --> 02:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie. But it just it's a function of where

2619
02:03:53,800 --> 02:03:56,600
Speaker 1: their receiving talent is this year is compared to last

2620
02:03:56,640 --> 02:03:58,240
Speaker 1: year when he broke in as a rookie free agent.

2621
02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:00,240
Speaker 1: That's all there is too. Thanks for call. Go to

2622
02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:04,240
Speaker 1: Stanley here in Buffalo. Welcome to the show. Stanley, Hi,

2623
02:04:04,360 --> 02:04:07,440
Speaker 1: how are we doing? I've got a question about Matt Barkley.

2624
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, you see these qbs they dropping like flies,

2625
02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:14,360
Speaker 1: and we got a pretty good one sitting behind Josh Allen.

2626
02:04:14,840 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 1: Any chance we uh we move them? How to get

2627
02:04:17,160 --> 02:04:21,040
Speaker 1: another piece to this roster? What piece do we need?

2628
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 1: What piece do we need? Stanley? Another? We got running

2629
02:04:24,640 --> 02:04:27,800
Speaker 1: backs hurt right now? You know, receivers, you know, can't

2630
02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:32,120
Speaker 1: get enough of them. Oh, isn't it a good thing

2631
02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:34,520
Speaker 1: to have a capable backup? Look that the Jets are

2632
02:04:34,560 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 1: starting Luke Fok this week wasn't even on the active

2633
02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:40,080
Speaker 1: roster a week and a half ago. The Jaguars are

2634
02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:43,960
Speaker 1: going a second game with Gardner Minshew. I don't want

2635
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:45,880
Speaker 1: to part ways with Matt Barkley. I don't want that

2636
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:48,640
Speaker 1: makes your team less, that makes you weaker. I think

2637
02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 1: not having that insurance policy. I think I like Matt

2638
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:54,160
Speaker 1: Barkley on the team more than I would a guy

2639
02:04:54,200 --> 02:04:55,800
Speaker 1: who's going to come in and be a second or

2640
02:04:55,840 --> 02:05:00,600
Speaker 1: third wide receiver. Yeah, I think they're playing well without him.

2641
02:05:00,760 --> 02:05:02,840
Speaker 1: I think John Brown is a capable guy who can

2642
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:04,680
Speaker 1: get deep. We have Zay Jones who can get deep.

2643
02:05:04,680 --> 02:05:06,680
Speaker 1: We have Isaiah McKenzie. You can get deep. Bob Foster

2644
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:10,680
Speaker 1: can get deep, and we certainly can with Josh Allen

2645
02:05:10,720 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 1: completing twelve or thirteen percent more passes than he did

2646
02:05:14,840 --> 02:05:18,280
Speaker 1: a year ago. We got enough guys that can catch

2647
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:21,840
Speaker 1: the ball. I think they're doing what it takes to

2648
02:05:21,880 --> 02:05:25,400
Speaker 1: win right now. And although we won games in a

2649
02:05:25,400 --> 02:05:29,520
Speaker 1: different fashion last year we only won six, you know,

2650
02:05:29,640 --> 02:05:32,880
Speaker 1: I think they're winning more and playing better consistent football now.

2651
02:05:33,320 --> 02:05:35,720
Speaker 1: With the way they're doing it with these guys than

2652
02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:37,640
Speaker 1: there are with guys who I don't know who. You're

2653
02:05:37,640 --> 02:05:40,120
Speaker 1: talking about bringing in another big time wide receiver. I

2654
02:05:40,600 --> 02:05:43,920
Speaker 1: just don't particularly giving up a guy like Matt Barkley,

2655
02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 1: who is doing everything he can't help Josh play well.

2656
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:51,840
Speaker 1: I mentioned him as the insurance, the backup to Josh

2657
02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Allen if something happens there. He's also playing an important

2658
02:05:54,400 --> 02:05:57,080
Speaker 1: role right now, Matt Barkley. I believe right. He's good

2659
02:05:57,080 --> 02:05:59,320
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen to have in the room. On the field,

2660
02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:02,240
Speaker 1: He's good for this team. Everybody'll tell you the guy

2661
02:06:02,480 --> 02:06:04,880
Speaker 1: plays an important role. There's no question about it. He's

2662
02:06:04,920 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 1: a best friend of the starting quarterback. He's a sounding board.

2663
02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:10,560
Speaker 1: He's a guy the quarterback can vent to when he

2664
02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:15,120
Speaker 1: wants to belly ache about something. Yeah, he's just he's

2665
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:19,680
Speaker 1: another player who is acting and doing everything he can

2666
02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:22,720
Speaker 1: as if he were a coach to help the starting quarterback.

2667
02:06:23,200 --> 02:06:26,960
Speaker 1: But he's also appear he's not a superior. He doesn't

2668
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:28,640
Speaker 1: play the role of a coach. That he's a buddy

2669
02:06:29,040 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: who's in your shoes and who's helping you get better.

2670
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 1: You need a guy like that you trust that you

2671
02:06:33,880 --> 02:06:36,600
Speaker 1: love and respect, and Barkley is that and he became

2672
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 1: that very quickly last year after they signed him. Our

2673
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:41,120
Speaker 1: question of the day, five of the next Bills games

2674
02:06:41,120 --> 02:06:43,200
Speaker 1: are home games. How many of those five can they win?

2675
02:06:43,360 --> 02:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Chad in Syracuse has an answer, Chad, what do you got?

2676
02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:50,360
Speaker 1: Miss Murphy? Hi? How are you good? Thank you as

2677
02:06:51,400 --> 02:06:55,320
Speaker 1: nice to see on TV here. Thanks for calling, Chad. Physically, basically,

2678
02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:57,480
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking is we're gonna win these next five

2679
02:06:57,520 --> 02:07:01,000
Speaker 1: games because somehow this team is They're finding a way

2680
02:07:01,040 --> 02:07:03,200
Speaker 1: to win, and I think they're going to continue. As

2681
02:07:03,200 --> 02:07:06,160
Speaker 1: far as the Patriots a concerned, I don't see the Patriots.

2682
02:07:06,720 --> 02:07:09,280
Speaker 1: They haven't ran into a defense like ours yet. Our

2683
02:07:09,360 --> 02:07:14,280
Speaker 1: defense is pretty phenomenal so far, and I think we

2684
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:16,120
Speaker 1: can do this. I think we're going to do it.

2685
02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:20,160
Speaker 1: All right? Got all five years? Chat Yeah. Tweet sheet

2686
02:07:20,160 --> 02:07:22,520
Speaker 1: brought to you by Cargan Moving Systems, the official movers

2687
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:24,200
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Give us a couple of tweet

2688
02:07:24,200 --> 02:07:25,880
Speaker 1: two steam all right from David. He says, I think

2689
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:29,120
Speaker 1: the Bills will win four slash five at home? Is

2690
02:07:29,120 --> 02:07:32,800
Speaker 1: that like four plus? The Patriots game will be close

2691
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:34,920
Speaker 1: but probably be a loss. We will find out who

2692
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 1: our team, our team really is in that game coming

2693
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:39,920
Speaker 1: off to buy those three games are crucial for our

2694
02:07:39,920 --> 02:07:42,400
Speaker 1: playoff chances. I think we'll be ahead of our five

2695
02:07:42,440 --> 02:07:45,760
Speaker 1: and two record from twenty seventeen, two years ago when

2696
02:07:45,760 --> 02:07:47,960
Speaker 1: they did make the playoffs. If that's the case, though,

2697
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:49,720
Speaker 1: that means they're gonna be six and two, six and

2698
02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:52,720
Speaker 1: one then correct or seven and zero. All right from Daniel.

2699
02:07:52,760 --> 02:07:55,160
Speaker 1: He also says, I expect at least three I believe

2700
02:07:55,200 --> 02:07:59,120
Speaker 1: we should beat Cincinnati, Tennessee and Miami. Philadelphia could be

2701
02:07:59,160 --> 02:08:01,680
Speaker 1: a challenge, and I never overlooked the Patriots. So he

2702
02:08:01,720 --> 02:08:04,400
Speaker 1: thinks Philadelphia and Patriots are the ones that are going

2703
02:08:04,480 --> 02:08:08,000
Speaker 1: to be the ones who the Bills cannot meet. Those

2704
02:08:08,040 --> 02:08:09,760
Speaker 1: two teams and now let's get the NFL True or

2705
02:08:09,800 --> 02:08:12,240
Speaker 1: false brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's Artists

2706
02:08:12,240 --> 02:08:15,120
Speaker 1: and Cheese. A couple of issues here ESPN story. They

2707
02:08:15,120 --> 02:08:18,240
Speaker 1: say Shack Lawson has been the Bill's biggest surprise. They

2708
02:08:18,280 --> 02:08:21,280
Speaker 1: write that Lawson most of the Bill's hype on defense

2709
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 1: around to Dan Oliver and others Jerry Us Trett Murphy,

2710
02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:26,360
Speaker 1: but Lawson has turned in a strong start to the season,

2711
02:08:26,960 --> 02:08:30,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo reliance on its rotation on the edge of this season,

2712
02:08:30,360 --> 02:08:33,200
Speaker 1: it is reasonable to think Lawson can build on the sack,

2713
02:08:33,280 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 1: two quarterback hits, and deflected pass he has recorded through

2714
02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:38,920
Speaker 1: two games. I like what Jack Lawson has done. Biggest

2715
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:41,520
Speaker 1: surprise to the Bills, I'm going false. I think the

2716
02:08:41,560 --> 02:08:44,640
Speaker 1: offensive line, in particular Mitch Morris is my biggest surprise. Yeah,

2717
02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:47,080
Speaker 1: and I would put Devin Singletary above that as a

2718
02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:49,320
Speaker 1: bigger surprise as well. So I would say, yeah, Shack

2719
02:08:49,360 --> 02:08:51,200
Speaker 1: has played well, no question about it. But I would

2720
02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:55,400
Speaker 1: say not the biggest surprise. No, there you go. NFL

2721
02:08:55,400 --> 02:08:57,760
Speaker 1: True or False brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New

2739
02:10:03,160 --> 02:10:04,320
Speaker 1: had a good show today. I think it was a

2740
02:10:04,360 --> 02:10:07,760
Speaker 1: good show. See very good ship. Yeah. Derman Thomas was

2741

Speaker 1: on the show. The Hall of Fame running back joined

2742
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:12,880
Speaker 1: us while his phone worked from Florida earlier today. Derman

2743
02:10:13,120 --> 02:10:14,760
Speaker 1: said if he could give a message to the young

2744
02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:17,560
Speaker 1: players about what to expect in their first home game

2745
02:10:17,600 --> 02:10:23,280
Speaker 1: this Sunday, here's what he would say. Get rid of

2746
02:10:23,320 --> 02:10:26,200
Speaker 1: for some loud noise. Man, you know the crowd is

2747
02:10:26,200 --> 02:10:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna be on your side. I mean obviously, Murph, if

2748
02:10:29,440 --> 02:10:31,400
Speaker 1: you're coming in here oh and two, it'll be a

2749
02:10:31,400 --> 02:10:33,600
Speaker 1: different story. But you're coming in here two and oh.

2750
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:36,040
Speaker 1: And people are really excited about this year. You know,

Speaker 1: people are excited and they have a reason to be excited.

2752
02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know we're we're off to a

2753
02:10:41,480 --> 02:10:43,680
Speaker 1: two and those start obviously, you know, the defense is

2754
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:46,400
Speaker 1: playing very, very well. But I think these younger players,

2755
02:10:46,440 --> 02:10:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, if they think it if

2756
02:10:49,360 --> 02:10:52,240
Speaker 1: they win this bootball football game this week and they

2757
02:10:52,240 --> 02:10:54,600
Speaker 1: think it's loud, wait till the following week against the

2758
02:10:54,600 --> 02:10:56,680
Speaker 1: Pages when they come in here. But but not to

2759
02:10:56,760 --> 02:10:58,920
Speaker 1: look ahead, you know, just go out, enjoy it, do

2760
02:10:59,080 --> 02:11:01,640
Speaker 1: your assignment. Don't get caught up in all the noise

2761
02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:04,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. Go out and play your game. Verman Thomas
